Note: This post is a sticky, new posts begin below this one
“The money power preys on the nation in times of peace, and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes.” – Abraham Lincoln
Those interested in the future of our race must view the latest video of Alex Jones entitled “Fall of The Republic” available here. It is also already circulating on YouTube – now freely viewable in its entirety here
Latest on the H1N1 vaccine hysteria
What your doctor and the government might not tell you about the H1N1 virus and vaccine – see here
and here
I stand here in this vacant space
A member of the human race
And just like you or her or him
Born with free will to sink or swim

The nurse is waiting with syringe
while frightened eyes can only cringe
as in its mother’s arms it lies,
hanging between what lives and dies.
Cold hearts are bought and sold these days
as warm compassion rarely pays.
Sickness and health now up for sale.
Profits rise from the fallen pale
Those who still care, those one can trust,
I hope you find them if you must.
Be sure before you take the pill
that its not there to make you ill.
This may wake anger in those who
see this a threat to what they do,
but I am not the only one
awakened by the smoking gun.

The Sun shines brightly in the sky
Warming the face, blinding the eye.
A cold wind blows but here inside
It could be summer I decide
As memories of yesterday,
Of those we love who came to stay,
Flood back to fan the inner flame
That burns so in the hearts they claim.
Life bringer staring down at me
Can it be so that this you see?

There are those who believe that we
climbed down from some perch in a tree,
and while perusing gathered nuts
saw suddenly some ifs and buts.
These formed new pathways in the mind
those of the search-for-answers kind.
So somehow revelations came.
We stood, and went in search of game
with tools and weapons we had made,
worked by the fire that came to aid.
The cave gave shelter and safe rest;
we thrived, the equal of the best.
Our tools and weapons grew in size
Their forms took on a new disguise
And caves became new structures too
Where many lived, not just a few
No predators came in the night
Their eyes lit by the fireside light.
So did millennia pass by.
We never ceased to wonder why
and marvels wrought by hand and mind
changed how we thought of humankind.
No longer one with all the rest,
some of whom now were second best.
Fights turned to wars with millions dead.
A madness filled our hearts with dread
as death appeared to roll the dice
and saviors told of paradise,
the wrath of God and that called sin,
which drove our thoughts deeper within.
Although our origin’s in doubt
we still are here to rant and shout,
strike out at dangers all around,
ghosts born of fear, ideas unsound.
The peace man seeks that he once knew
stays close but ever out of view.

Mister Gore has won a prize
for peace that brings tears to my eyes.
Not many will much of that see
as taxes rise to misery.
Unless, unless, what’s that I hear
the CO2 that we should fear
must share the stage now with methane
and soot that exhausts do contain?
Of course, the public has to pay
so this will cause but some delay.
Confusion in that Danish place
might cause some to avoid disgrace.
No mention yet of our dear Sun
that brings such joy to everyone
and surely must play some small roll
in climate change beyond control.
Let’s hope that sanity prevails
that man withdraws from false details.
Let selfish thoughts at last be gone
so mankind can at last be one.
More Gorey details here

Official comment: An eerie pillar of star birth in the Carina Nebula rises from a sea of greenish-colored clouds. More can be viewed here
From Jan: The Hubble Telescope shows us an object containing stars, gas and dust in which new stars are being born. How we do not yet know for sure although theories abound.

It’s going to meet its maker
that insect on the wall.
I’ve tried my best to free it
but had no luck at all.
Perhaps it’s spent a half life
watching me from on high
while it should have been somewhere
under the darkened sky.
Wings folded as if waiting
perhaps exhausted now
its instincts for survival
no longer tell it how.
Oh little fragile being
that lives to find a mate
no more you’ll serve your destiny
out there to procreate.
Why should this little creature
affect me in this way?
Perhaps I see how precious
should be each passing day.
For what is knowledge pending
to that which now is known
that hidden revelation
a safe and certain home?

So, after reading Bill Bryson for an hour in which he refers to the manners of the British, I got to thinking about the natural sounds that the human body produces as by products of its daily functioning. In western society, most of these must be concealed by whatever means in the name of good manners, or at least brought back to a level where only one nearby head might turn or its eyebrows rise.
Following personal research conducted over many years in many places, it would seem that the ability to avoid noisy embarrassment is roughly proportional to age. A healthy (including un-intoxicated) twenty year old would probably have a safety factor of 95% whereas someone over ninety (intoxicated or not) might not achieve more than 10% – I hasten to add that these are just statistical norms, before you go on about how exceptional your abilities obviously are for your age.
I should imagine that people who take part in international diplomacy have some sort of protection to avoid precipitating wars or debilitating sanctions through bad manners. Active royalty, for example, are almost certainly kitted out with royal corks, not large enough to cause discomfort but large enough to avoid popping out due to the after effects of a curry lunch. Imagine the king or queen of some dwindling western nation getting up to reply to the condescending though rewarding deliberations of some deliriously rich potentate who has just agreed to buy up a few of their country’s cities to save them from an otherwise inevitable fall into further ruin and decay – it could be Britain:
‘Your Highness, on behalf of myself, my government and my people, I wish to thank you most heartily for your overwhelming generosity. Although I find it difficult to put into words what I know my many suffering subjects will feel when they hear the good news, I think I can sum it up with one word.’
And then it happens, his or her majesty pops their cork, making wine glasses tremble and chandeliers and window drapes move perceptibly albeit in a courteous manner.
It can’t happen so it probably won’t, but I’d really love to be witness to it if it does, wouldn’t you?
Boris Yeltsin would have been on my most likely list of possible culprits. After too much vodka and beans he might have forgotten to adjust his cork while bending over some seated unsuspecting dishy female diplomat in an attempt to squeeze a breast.
Anyway, it seems I’ve reached the age of about 75% controllability so occasionally one of those rascals does succeed in slipping out without warning. If I am lucky enough to receive prior knowledge that a fart is unavoidably on the way, I can often reduce its potentially embarrassing repercussions by applying a certain muscular dexterity to reduce its acoustic level while emitting a suitably timed heavy cough to hopefully take care of the remaining unwelcome decibels. Of course, it’s important to realize that when using a cough in such a manner one has to take into account that its noise level is less to a bystander than it is to the emitter, so you’ve been warned.
In yet another TV discussion on the H1N1 virus, a well known biologist dared to suggest that government advice to the afflicted to blow their noses into a tissue or sneeze into their arm wouldn’t stop any virus worth its salt from escaping into the surrounding air and attacking bystanders. Even the small holes of a tissue are apparently as large to a virus as the Grand Canyon is to a fly. His advice was to clear one’s nose by sniffing up, thus keeping the viruses to oneself. Although this is considered bad manners in most western nations he suggested that the “seriousness” of the issue should perhaps make governments think twice.
So should one sniff with disgust or sniff to disgust?

October Sun, now that your work is done
upon your way to warm more southern climes
remembered summer evenings crowd my mind
your parting gift of those most pleasant times.
Your warmth can hardly stir the morning mist
as nights encroach upon the shortening days
and those now drowsy with approaching sleep
sport autumn shades within your softening rays.
You who awakens life each passing year
and warms the days of those lost in their dreams
who sails with all towards some waiting fate
across that ocean, boundless as it seems.

David Rockefeller’s 1991 Bilderberg
Quote
| “We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years.”He went on to explain:”It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries.”
– David Rockefeller, Speaking at the June, 1991 Bilderberger meeting in Baden, Germany (a meeting also attended by then-Governor Bill Clinton and by Dan Quayle |
——————————————————————————————
So, the European Union’s (EU) Lisbon Treaty is nearing total acceptance even though large numbers of its population have rejected it as going against sovereign interests and leading to expanding government control of their daily lives. Now it has to have a president as well as the clique that sits in the European Council and Commission and whose powers surpass those of the European Parliament itself. So one sees that the true representatives of the people are pretty far down the ladder of power.
I also read that discussions are under way to form an East Asian Community and a North American Union along the lines of the EU. The developing nations (that strangely never really seem to develop) are already subservient to the rest, of course.
And who sits above those? Yes, you guessed it.
So the plans of the elite are going ahead full blast: three governing bodies ruling over the developed nations that are easier to manage and manipulate, effectively forming a world government. There are also serious moves towards a world currency and a world bank which fit in nicely with the rest. America as the world leader and its world currency must be removed from the chessboard to bring about a check mate and its present government is having a field day arranging it.
The puppets are dancing and prancing about now and final truths are replacing the lies of decennia.
It’s a takeover folks. The bankers, media and political forces are tightening their grip on the world’s population to further increase their power over it. ‘Public opinion’ and ‘democracy’ are competition that must be taken out of the picture.
Ingeniously simple really, isn’t it? Of course, its realization has cost the elite decades of headaches and setbacks, but they’re a resilient bunch with lots of experience in manipulation to further their own ends.
Welcome to the future fascist dictatorship unless… .
Please, will someone prove to me that the above is just personal paranoia?
