Paul then opined on how the scare will once again be pounced upon to bolster and further empower big government. He referred to Janet Napolitano’s announcement Sunday that the Department of Homeland Security had started “passive surveillance protocols to screen people coming into the country.”

“How did the Department of Homeland Security get into the medical business? It’s just totally out of control,” Paul said, describing the situation as an open door invitation to allow the federal government to deal with medical problems.

In 1991, the government of Somalia – in the Horn of Africa – collapsed. Its 9 million people have been teetering on starvation ever since – and many of the ugliest forces in the Western world have seen this as a great opportunity to steal the country’s food supply and dump our nuclear waste in their seas.

Yes: nuclear waste. As soon as the government was gone, mysterious European ships started appearing off the coast of Somalia, dumping vast barrels into the ocean. The coastal population began to sicken. At first they suffered strange rashes, nausea and malformed babies. Then, after the 2005 tsunami, hundreds of the dumped and leaking barrels washed up on shore. People began to suffer from radiation sickness, and more than 300 died.

Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah, the U.N. envoy to Somalia, tells me: “Somebody is dumping nuclear material here. There is also lead and heavy metals such as cadmium and mercury – you name it.” Much of it can be traced back to European hospitals and factories, who seem to be passing it on to the Italian mafia to “dispose” of cheaply. When I asked Ould-Abdallah what European governments were doing about it, he said with a sigh: “Nothing. There has been no cleanup, no compensation and no prevention.”

At the same time, other European ships have been looting Somalia’s seas of their greatest resource: seafood. We have destroyed our own fish stocks by over-exploitation – and now we have moved on to theirs. More than $300 million worth of tuna, shrimp, lobster and other sea life is being stolen every year by vast trawlers illegally sailing into Somalia’s unprotected seas.

The local fishermen have suddenly lost their livelihoods, and they are starving. Mohammed Hussein, a fisherman in the town of Marka 100km south of Mogadishu, told Reuters: “If nothing is done, there soon won’t be much fish left in our coastal waters.”

This is the context in which the men we are calling “pirates” have emerged. Everyone agrees they were ordinary Somalian fishermen who at first took speedboats to try to dissuade the dumpers and trawlers, or at least wage a “tax” on them. They call themselves the Volunteer Coast Guard of Somalia – and it’s not hard to see why.

Submitted legislation would impose $98-per-ounce tax on cannabis
In most states, the issue of medical marijuana is not on any legislative docket.

In Oregon however, a state which already allows medical marijuana, socializing the weed is being pitched as a bipartisan cause célèbre.

Maybe socializing is the wrong word.

“House Bill 3247 would direct the state to establish and operate a marijuana production facility,” reported Oregon’s KGW-TV. “The state would control potency and pharmacy distribution.”

Okay, so maybe it isn’t.

If the legislation, which is currently in committee review, becomes law, the state would take control of Oregon’s booming cannabis industry, bringing growing and sales under the public domain.

Oregon’s current medical cannabis program allows care providers and patients to grow their own supply, but both Republicans and Democrats in the state feel the system is not working. Their solution is to bankroll the bud on the public dime and charge a weighty tax — $98 per ounce — every time an approved patient makes a purchase.

“Many patients have no assurance that their marijuana is not laced with pesticides or other toxic chemicals,” Rep. Jim Thompson (R-Dallas), told The Oregonian. “If passed into law, this legislation will implement safe standards to dispense the drug through a tightly-controlled system.”

“Rep. Ron Maurer, R-Grants Pass, and Rep. Chris Harker, D-Beaverton, are also sponsors of the bill,” the paper reported. “Now that’s what we call bipartisanship.”

“Radical? For sure,” said Oregon Live’s Janie Har. “Even California, a state where dope dispensaries run rampant, doesn’t have government workers growing pot.”

“Private growers have been accused of illegally selling pot to non-cardholders, and other grow sites have been targeted by burglars and robbers,” reported Oregon station KATU.

“There are growing concerns that private grow sites are being misused for illegal marijuana sales, threatening the safety and well-being of legitimate participants in the program,” Rep. Chris Harker, (D-Beaverton), told the station. “(The bill) takes medical marijuana off the streets and into a safer and more secure environment.”

In 2004, Oregon voters rejected a similar measure which would have created state-run cannabis distribution facilities. According to the state’s Department of Human Services, about 21,000 have been approved for the medical cannabis program.

Your activities on the Internet are akin to your activities out in public—they’re not private and are possibly open for police scrutiny, according to an Ontario Superior Court. The ruling was made by Justice Lynne Leitch on—surprise!—a child pornography case. The judge said that there’s “no reasonable expectation of privacy” when it comes to logs kept by ISPs. Canadians, watch out, because everything you do online could soon be turned into legal fodder, even without a warrant.

The case in question came about when, in 2007, police asked Bell Canada to hand over subscriber information for a particular IP address that they suspected of accessing and “making available” child porn online. According to the National Post, the ISP handed over the name and contact information for the account without asking for a warrant, which is apparently typical among ISPs in Canada only if the request is related to a child porn investigation.

The lawyer for the defendant—the defendant being the husband of the woman whose name was on the account—disagreed with Bell Canada’s actions. He argued that since there were no accusations of luring a child or putting a minor in danger, a warrant should have been required. This argument was rejected by Judge Leitch, however, who equated the information to data that the state already has.

“One’s name and address or the name and address of your spouse are not biographical information one expects would be kept private from the state,” she wrote. She also stated that Canada’s Personal Information Protection Electronics Documents Act allows for ISPs to give IP information to a “lawful authority,” which she interpreted as not requiring a warrant.

Though it’s clear that the ruling in the case (which is still ongoing) was made with good intentions, privacy advocates know what the road to hell is paved with. Critics fear that such a precedent could open the doors to police asking for information on all manner of Internet activities, ranging from the embarrassing to the questionable-but-legal, without judicial oversight.

One instructor from Toronto’s Osgoode Hall Law School argued that, even when criminal activity is suspected, a warrant should be required.

“[E]veryone wants to get at the child abusers,” professor James Stribopoulos told the National Post, which is why judges seem to be agreeing with Judge Leitch’s interpretation of the law. “It is not just your name, it is your whole Internet surfing history. Up until now, there was privacy. An IP address is not your name, it is a 10-digit number. A lot more people would be apprehensive if they knew their name was being left everywhere they went.”

IP addresses aren’t necessarily accurate indicators of who’s behind certain activities online. As many college campuses in the US have argued to the RIAA, IP addresses are reassigned often and no single student can be tied to a single IP address much of the time. IP address data can even be incorrect (or incorrectly matched up by ISPs), leading to some being unfairly accused of illegal activities.

Judge Leitch’s ruling has privacy advocates in Canada worried, as it is binding to lower courts in Ontario. “There is no confidentiality left on the Internet if this ruling stands,” Stribopoulos said.

In the comming days, I will post several german-speaking interviews with Dr. Daniele Ganser, an academic historian from Switzerland who has researched false flag terrorism in Europe. Besides his publicity around the 9/11 truth movement, I think also his historical work about the so-called “secret armies” is extremly interesting.

If you want to get several examples which false flag operations have been definetly proven, how they were uncovered, how they were interlocked with politicians or even brought to courts, Gansers work is a good place to start.Here is the first video of several in a row. I try to translate about one segment each weekend after work and post them here:

Watts Up With That?
Wednesday, Feb 18, 2009

This is a bit disturbing, though in retrospect, not surprising. One of our local IPCC wonks at Chico State University, Jeff Price, is a biologist, but lectures me about climate all the same. – Anthony

by Paul Chesser, Climate Strategies Watch

I had intended to return to this point when I originally posted about this debate last week, but time got away from me. Thankfully, my colleague Roy Cordato brought it up today:

During the question and answer session of last week’s William Schlesinger/John Christy global warming debate, (alarmist) Schlesinger was asked how many members of United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) were actual climate scientists. It is well known that many, if not most, of its members are not scientists at all. Its president, for example, is an economist.

William Schlesinger on IPCC: “something on the order of 20 percent have had some dealing with climate.” obamadecept_340x169

http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2007/10/13/Rajendra_Pachauri_wideweb__470x317,0.jpg

Rajendra Pachauri, Chairman of the IPCC – trained initially as a railway engineer

This question came after Schlesinger had cited the IPCC as an authority for his position. His answer was quite telling.

First he broadened it to include not just climate scientists but also those who have had “some dealing with the climate.” His complete answer was that he thought, “something on the order of 20 percent have had some dealing with climate.” In other words, even IPCC worshiper Schlesinger now acknowledges that 80 percent of the IPCC membership had absolutely no dealing with the climate as part of their academic studies.

“People got mad enough when they couldn’t smoke in bars anymore or bingo parlours,” said Sgt. Bryant Wood, a police officer in the eastern Ontario town of Port Hope.

“Now you’re telling them they can’t smoke in cars. At some point somebody’s going to snap along the way here.”

Nova Scotia is the only other jurisdiction in the country to have a similar law, though others are considering it. Ontario had previously banned smoking in all enclosed public places and workplaces before the new legislation took effect late last month.

Wood’s comments came a day after one of his colleagues, Const. Tammie Hartford, pulled over 20-year-old Port Hope resident Tory Ashton and wrote him a $155 ticket for smoking in his vehicle with a minor present.

Ashton was transporting several passengers, including a 15-year-old girl. While the ticket was being written, the girl – who is a smoker – got out of the car and legally lit up a cigarette.

There is no law prohibiting a 15-year-old from smoking; it is only illegal for someone under 19 years of age to purchase or sell tobacco.

NY Times

Stretched thin in Afghanistan and Iraq, the American military will begin recruiting skilled immigrants who are living in this country with temporary visas, offering them the chance to become United States citizens in as little as six months.

Immigrants who are permanent residents, with documents commonly known as green cards, have long been eligible to enlist. But the new effort, for the first time since the Vietnam War, will open the armed forces to temporary immigrants if they have lived in the United States for a minimum of two years, according to military officials familiar with the plan.

Recruiters expect that the temporary immigrants will have more education, foreign language skills and professional expertise than many Americans who enlist, helping the military to fill shortages in medical care, language interpretation and field intelligence analysis.

he leaves these really criptic blog posts and predicts massive economic shifts/changes all over the world. to date he’s made 5 huge predictions and they’ve all come true about the current collapse…right down to the day/time.

his first prediction was for the crash to be on sept15th (he called this in july)…here’s what he said:

and the negative news that will move the market downward should occur
Sept 15

this organization below.. runs the show

http://www.legatus.org/public/index.asp

the money laundering occurs just prior to the pilgrimage to rome and
the checks are written during the pilgrimage and the checks clear by
September 14 and the negative news leaks out (something along the
lines of “insider trading on a mass scale at a major brokerage) then
they start crossing the “t”s and dotting the “i”s on Sarbanes-Oxley II

his latest prediction is for a huge event in the markets to happen feb 9th at 13:13 NY time. some people have suggested that it’s the CDO scandal coming to a point…other have suggested the mad inflation of the dollar starts…who knows…but you gotta love a guy who makes predictions down to the minute and is having some success…

here’s the CDO plot which most people believe he’s hinting at:

Synthetic CDO’s are complex little known financial instruments (insurance contracts) that are on the brink of triggering “the most colossal rights issue in the history of the world, all at once .. mandatory.” If, out of a list of several hundred major companies, any nine go bankrupt, the CDO’s are in default, which would mean a mass transfer of cash (real money) from unsuspecting investors around the world goes into the banking system. How much? Nobody knows, but it’s many trillions. Banks will be flush with cash, perhaps ending the credit crisis, while many investors (individuals, charities, municipalities) will be wiped out. Alternatively, the triggering of default on the trillions of synthetic CDOs could be a disaster that tips the world from recession into depression. Nobody knows, but it won’t be a small event. Thus far the count is six: three Icelandic banks, Countrywide, Lehman and Bear Stearns.

more info on him here :: http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message722658/pg1

apparently the dates to “pay attention” to for his new prediction are today at 1:13pm and then again on the 13th of the month.

some good starter info
dudes following it
first public appearance and prediction (just read the thread)
in action again

This is how you debase a securities market:

Note: For search purposes the date format is day/month/year (example:
24/05/1999 is read as May 24 1999).

24/05/1999 Al Gore backs aid to faith-based groups in speech to
Salvation Army facility in Atlanta.

The following is the political definition of “aid to faith-based
groups”.

07/1999 Tyco wires $15 million to one of Kozlowski’s personal
accounts and $10 million to a personal account of Mr. Schwartz.

22/07/1999 (WSJ316) Texas Gov. George W. Bush tells an Indianapolis
audience that aid to faith-based groups will rally America’s “armies
of compassion” to solve social ills (this is a biblical metaphor).

Here comes a little more of Gore & Bush’s “aid to faith-based groups”.

08/1999 $38.5 million bonus paid in the form of loan forgiveness to
Schwartz ($12.5 million) and Kozlowski ($25 million) and $1 million to
another person. Note: Phillip Hampton (“dead-man defense”) chairman
of Tyco compensation committee.

The accounts of Kozlowski, Belnick, and Schwartz are all being filled
prior to the pilgrimage to Rome.

22/09/1999 Belnick files to sell 75,000 shares, worth an estimated
$7.5 million, that he acquired through an exercise of options and from
an employee benefit plan.

30/09/1999 (WSJ300) Belnick receives the first of several huge Tyco
payments: $3.4 million from the sale of restricted company shares.

The same day!

Lockheed Martin Corp. WSJ reports this is the day after Enron
suspends ethics code for the second time. This move enables CFO
Andrew Fastow to head two controversial partnerships that kept
significant debt off of the books. Savage subsequently votes to
create other off-balance sheet vehicles and suspends the ethics code a
third time. (note: the IRS conspired to allow Enron to avoid taxes
since “Project Tanya” in 1996) Note: Harvard’s Toffler ended work
with Arthur Anderson this month!

my check for $2M for my pledge to the new Sanctuary/Alter in the
Catholic Information Center in Washington.” My note: Some of that
faith-based funding stuff is starting to enter the scene. Belnick is
actually laundering money between the church and Tyco.

Note: The “radical Islamic Muslim extremists” begin to wonder why a
Jewish attorney is laundering money from Tyco to Catholic
institutions?

the mail as of two days ago. The Catholic Information Center gets its
money. The Legatus “tough choices” are chosen. The beans can be
spilled.

13/10/1999 Tyco calls rumors “unfounded and malicious”. This is a
Wednesday (six days after the Legatus Pilgrimage).

29/10/1999 Tyco issues response to New York Times article. Note: The

weathering well the Tyco tempest”.

05/11/1999 (WSJ300) Belnick emails Father McCloskey blaming the
government inquiry on “rumormongers”. He adds that Tyco’s woes were
“nothing compared to the problems of Mother Theresa’s earthly charges
or the glory of her boss.” (note: yet another biblical analogy to
white-collar crime)
