tracing a twisting, snaking tentacle

Architecture plays a role in how we perceive the world. As does art. You could say that public art and architecture set the stage. Or maybe it's a table. Or maybe an altar.
Architectural exhibits in Millennium Park designed by London-based Zaha Hadid and Amsterdam-based Ben van Berkel of UNStudio emphasize the importance of boldly imagining a better future for all. Both are intended to echo the audacity of the 1909 Burnham Plan, which proclaimed, “What we as a people decide to do in the public interest we can and surely will bring to pass.”
Architecture for the rich is booming business, especially in Asia. Evidently wealth has been flowing to Asia for years.
Tucked away from the noisy, choked traffic on Sukhumvit Road near Ekamai, Mr Bensley's office is flooded with work commissioned by kings, governments and tycoons. He says there has been no slowdown since he set up shop here [Thailand] 20 years ago. From the 1997 Asian crisis through to the collapse of Wall Street last year, there has not been a minute of stoppage at his shop. "In fact, the opposite is true," says the towering figure.
Important new art comes onto the world scene regularly, like this week even.

Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present two important sculptures by Richard Serra. Related in both form and scale, Blind Spot (2002-2003) and Open Ended (2007-2008) entail similar concentric structures, each consisting of six weatherproof steel plates. Open Ended was recently exhibited at Gagosian Gallery in London in 2008. The upcoming exhibition brings both sculptures together for the first time.

Opening reception: Tuesday, October 27th, from 6 to 8pm, Gagosian Gallery 522 West 21st Street
New York, NY 10011

Ha, they sort of look like eyes. Probably just a coincidence. (wink wink wink)

But sometimes antiquities gets stolen. Thank goodness the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement "is committed to working closely with foreign governments to find and return stolen works of art and antiquities to their rightful owners.”
Investigating officials have identified a large smuggling organization that appears to have moved items out of Italy to other locations in Europe from which they were smuggled into the United States. Typically, the items were then sold through antiquities galleries in the United States to obscure their origins before introducing them into major auction houses. The illicit proceeds of the sales were then laundered back to the source countries. The trail of these two seized items started in Italy, moved to Geneva, and then, according to the evidence uncovered so far, arrived in Beverly Hills. The gallery involved in the sale of these items has been associated with other looted materials that have ultimately been repatriated to their source countries.
Hmm. Money laundering through antiquities. OK well, there are several galleries in Beverly Hills. They seem to be specialized. This one specializes in Asian art, and business is booming. Lucky huh? Must be because of the booming Asian economy that keeps Bensley so busy.

I.M. Chait Gallery/Auctioneers is a family owned and operated auction house based in Beverly Hills. Run by Asian Art expert Isadore M. Chait, with over 35 years of experience. Due to the high demand of clients, I.M. Chait Auctions has expanded from solely Asian art auctions into fine art, paintings, modern art, European and American furniture, jewelry, and even natural history while still maintaining the same stellar reputation and expertise that clients have seen for so many years.

I wonder if this is the same unnamed gallery that ICE says has been "associated with other looted materials that have ultimately been repatriated to their source countries." ?? Nah. This looks like a big shop, very prestigious. Prestigious family owned businesses don't get involved in things like money laundering and looting, and even if they did, the authorities would catch them and stop them, RIGHT? Right. The ICE knows the gallery in question, and this gallery is still up and running, so they can't be the same gallery. I mean, that would be...like...corruption, you know? Nah.

But, kind of weirdly, a person named Isadore M. Chait became the President of the Cult Awareness Network back around 1997. Do you think there's another person named Isadore M. Chait milling around? Hmm. That's kind of strange seeing as Isadore M. Chait is a world-renowned Asian art expert. Or is it the same guy (or woman)? Cult awareness? That's a totally different pail of worms we're talking about mind control. What on earth would an Asian art expert know about mind control? It can't possibly be the same person.

Well anyway, this Cult Awareness Network (CAN) got into some trouble and had to come under new management. (scroll down to Scientology)
Shortly after the Heaven's Gate mass suicide, the Cult Awareness Network, which has long battled cults, sent reporters a list of "experts" on the subject. One of them, J. Gordon Melton, is considered by many cult foes to be an apologist for the groups. Melton, who has written extensively on cults and religions, has come out in defense of Aum, the Japanese cult linked to the gassing of a Tokyo subway in March 1995 that killed twelve people, and the Church of Scientology has asked him to testify in court on its behalf. What's more, Melton, whom CAN identified as "executive director, Institute for the Study of American Religions, University of California, Santa Barbara," is not a professor at the school; he works in the library.

Why would CAN list someone known to be a sympathetic to these groups? "We have a different philosophy here now," says Isadore Chait, CAN's new director. "We're an information source on religions." He adds that Melton has written "the authoritative book on religions in America."

Chait was appointed after CAN lost a recent lawsuit, went bankrupt, and saw its name, logo, and hot line bought by a Scientologist.

"We figured this would happen," says a source. "The foxes are guarding the henhouse." Brief news item. Esquire, Jun '97, p20.

Um, o-kay. Mr. Source doesn't seem too impressed with the CAN. So Chait came in to reform the CAN but maybe they have a little mission-creep there. The cult awareness network is now an information source on religions. ??? That seems to put cults and religions into one big bucket called 'it's all good.' Hmm. I'm not so sure about that, it seems a little conflationary to treat all cults as religions. Well let's just see what they say in their new first newsletter back in 1997.

http://www.cultawarenessnetwork.org/update/001.001.html
The old CAN, after being fined $1,000,000 for their part in the deprogramming of a Pentecostal Christian (rather than make any reparation for the harm they had done), voluntarily declared bankruptcy in June of 1996. The name CAN and its hotline number went on the auction block that October. At the sale were CAN's former Executive Director and an attorney representing diverse individuals and groups. Apparently abandoned by their financial backers, CAN stopped bidding at one point and the attorney walked away owning the name and hotline. He has since licensed the use of the name and hotline to the Foundation for Religious Freedom, a non-profit public-benefit corporation run by a multi-faith Board.

The new CAN provides factual information about religions of all kinds [even cults! - ed.] and reconciles families. Read on to get briefed on some of the new CAN's results.
Reading on...a letter from the management:
Dear Friends, This past year has been a true success! We've had over 4,000 hotline calls from all over the US and as far away as Germany, Denmark, Japan, and Venezuela; dozens of reconciliations and mediations; 2,000 visits to the CAN website; hundreds of new members; and many dozens of professionals agreeing to act as qualified referrals for the new CAN.

Now that the Cult Awareness Network is in the hands of the Foundation for Religious Freedom, people are being encouraged daily to get factual information, stay in communication and reconcile family situations. And this is why we're here: to stop the hate between people over religious reasons. In this newsletter, you'll find some examples we felt were worth sharing.

After all, America was built on religious freedom and everyone has the right to their own choice of faith.

We intend to spread this message further in 1998.

Sincerely,

Rev. George Robertson
Chairman of the Board
Foundation for Religious Freedom

Isadore M. Chait
President
Cult Awareness Network
Oh who can argue with stopping hate. Don't you want to stop hate? Yes of course everyone should just stop fighting over religion! There's nothing wrong with Scientology for instance. If your child wants to join the "church" of Scientology you should be supportive not hateful and judgmental, bitch, and if you're having some trouble with that just call the CAN and they'll talk you through it, 'kay sweetie? Not sure why but the CAN newsletter is written in that phony cloying happy-talk style, totally condescending, which means either they're idiots or they think their readers are. But not to worry because CAN works with professionals, and professionals aren't idiots as proven by the plaques on their walls.
In November, religious scholars met in San Francisco for their annual conference. A CAN representative also visited one of the meetings and briefed scholars on the latest activities at CAN. Some of the many scholars she met with (in addition to several of those mentioned elsewhere in this newsletter) included: Catherine Wessinger of Loyola University, Constance A. Jones of the California Institute of Integral Studies, Judith Linzer, a Ph.D. and Rabbinical scholar, and Robert Ellwood of the University of Southern California. Each of the scholars she briefed were very happy and willing to agree to act as professional referrals for the new CAN!

...To handle over 4,000 calls in less than one year, concerning nearly every religion imaginable, CAN has created a network around the country of over 100 true religious experts to whom we refer callers. These experts help individuals and families by providing factual [emphasis in original] information to help them understand each other's beliefs.
Yeah. Ok. Kumbaya we're all one big happy family I guess, right? Right. Hey and if you kids don't stop fighting over religion dad will pull the car over and take all your religions away, and you'll just have ONE religion, the one dad likes, and that will teach you to fight over religion. Here take your toy weapons and go back to playing jihadis against the crusaders. Damn kids.

Anyway, getting back to Scientology and the CAN, evidently some CAN members in charge of "deprogramming" were also Scientologists, and they got in some legal trouble and had to be disavowed by the CAN.
Members of Cult Awareness Network (CAN), responding to the widespread public concern over planned kidnappings in the Du Pont trial, have publicly apologized to all victims of CAN-related "deprogrammings" and declared their determination to bring reforms to the organization.

The reformers, who number over 288 CAN members from around the country say they are shocked at the support and encouragement given to criminal deprogrammers by CAN executives. In their public statement, they warn that "deprogramming involves violent kidnapping, physical and mental brutalisation, brainwashing, denial of food and sleep, enforced drugging and sexual abuse to force another to abandon deeply held beliefs."

In the ongoing criminal trial, E. Newbold Smith, Don Moore, Galen Kelly and Bob Point are accused of plotting to abduct Smith's 36-year-old son Lewis du Pont Smith, and his wife. The plan was lure the son away using a woman, kidnap him and then "deprogram" him away from involvement with the Lyndon Larouche organization.

A secret tape played in court by the prosecution has linked the alleged conspirators with Cult Awareness Network. In one tape, defendant Moore admitted that he was working for CAN.

Cynthia Kisser, CAN's national director, has publicly stated that defendant E. Newbold Smith is a member of CAN. A third defendant, Galen Kelly, was CAN's security officer and was employed by them during the period he committed several recent kidnappings and helped to plan the Du Pont one.

In their public statement, the CAN reform members state that "No man or woman has the right to deprive another of liberty and then seek, through harassment and brutality, to enforce his repudiation of deeply held beliefs. Therefore, to those whose mental and/or physical health has been destroyed by hired thugs called deprogrammers, who pocket thousands of dollars in exchange for wrecking, often forever, the lives of innocent people and their families, we express our profound regret."

The statement concludes with a determination to "to reform Cult Awareness Network so that it disavows criminal actions, dismisses from its staff all those who continue to support deprogramming, and embarks on its lawful program to educate the public on their religious rights and responsibilities."

The California Superior Court in Los Angeles yesterday found that ei? (eight?) of the reformers, who are also members of the Church of Scientology, had "acted as a catalyst in changing the unlawful conduct of defendants (CAN)." Spokesman for the reform group, Glenn Barton said today, "Cult Awareness Network has already come under investigation by the FBI for its connections to the deprogrammings."

"Five-time convicted felon Ted Patrick, the founder of deprogramming had a profound influence on CAN. Currently deprogrammer Joe Szimhart is awaiting trial in connnection with a kidnapping in ??ise, (Boise?) Idaho. During the Network have keen arrested for their violations of the law. These include Szimhart, Randall Burkey, Mary Alice Chrnalogar and Karen Reinhardt. This kidnapping-for-profit ring is actively supported and encouraged by Cult Awareness Network executives."

Barton said the reformers are prepared to use the the media, the co? and the public to bring about Meaningful refom of CAN.
Oh, wow. Nice organization, whose cloying language targets vulnerable people having family conflicts, aiming to suck them in and give them the "support" of "professionals," who may or may not be felons or Scientologists, and who may or may not attempt kidnappings and violent "deprogramming" operations on their loved ones.

Let's pause. So far we have traced a single tentacle from the rarefied atmosphere of the elite art world in Asia and New York, to money laundering via stolen antiquities in Beverly Hills, to the Cult Awareness Network and its legal troubles, to the ordinary world of struggling people looking for help with family problems over cults -- I mean "religions." And what do we find here but some thugs caught plotting to kidnap Lewis DuPont Smith and his wife -- heirs to the DuPont family fortune -- to deprogram them from the Lyndon LaRouche "cult" using violent deprogramming methods bequeathed from five-time convicted felon Tim Patrick. Allright?? I'm sorry, this is just how it turned out. I wasn't planning such a crazy post and I'm not sure I have this all straight, I'm just following along.

http://www.religiousfreedomwatch.org/religious-experts/false-experts/ted-patrick/

Patrick worked to make kidnapping and assault appear socially acceptable. As long as the crime was directed against individuals whose beliefs could be made to seem odd or unusual to the rest of society, any common thug could earn substantial sums simply by billing himself a “deprogrammer.”

Patrick’s past reveals that he comes from a background which made him no stranger to crime. Patrick’s father opted for the lucrative profession of pickup man for local mobsters running the numbers racket. Patrick began earning his living as a professional kidnapper and hired thug, targeting members of various religions for violent “deprogrammings.”

Patrick has asserted that religions recruit members by hypnotizing them on the spot with “beams” emanating from the knees and elbows and other parts of the body. This to Patrick classified a potential victim as a “mindless robot” and fair game for violent tactics.

But wait there's more. This is from a website highly critical of LaRouche:

http://dennis-king.org/aids.htm
LaRouche worked out his ideology and tactics in the late 1970s, in a series of books and articles with such titles as The Case of Walter Lippman, The Secrets Known Only to the Inner Elites, and A Machiavellian Solution for Israel. In these tracts and in writings by several of LaRouche's top lieutenants, history was depicted as a struggle for the true human race to assert itself against the degenerative influence of assorted subhumans such as Jews, gays, Freemasons, witches, Jesuits, and (most recently) the Slavs behind the Iron Curtain.

The subhumans, according to LaRouche and company, are led by an "evil species" outside the human race: the "Zionist-British organism." To defeat this ancient enemy and save humanity, LaRouche taught, it is necessary to have a "grand design" in the spirit of Alexander the Great, Frederick Barbarossa, and other conquerors who marched East. His own grand design included setting up a dictatorship in America, purging the "Jewish lobby" from public life, and preparing for "total war."

It was classic neo-Nazism, but even disguised in code words and metaphor it could hardly be sprung directly on the public. LaRouche began to experiment with ways to inject it indirectly. He launched a "war on drugs" which appeared legitimate until you read the fine print and saw that it was really a war on rich Jews and Zionists (controllers, in LaRouchian mythology, of the world drug traffic). He launched a campaign for "beam weapons." but when you examined this one closely, you saw that the messianic rhetoric and call for trillion-dollar programs had little to do with President Reagan’s "Star Wars" program, being more akin to the old Hitlerite formula of total mobilization for total war.
Aha, we are deep in the rabbit hole now, but, perhaps you can see why Lewis needed to be rescued. After all, the DuPonts have a long family history and they can't have their heirs going off the reservation.
Sitting down to write about the du Pont's reminded me of two other families. Recently, John Coleman, a researcher on the elite, commented to me that when he had researched the Queen of Denmark he had discovered that the royal Danish family was slipping away secretly from everyone and they were going to Satanic rituals. It is also noteworthy that 5 modern kings of Denmark have been the leaders of Freemasonry in Denmark, and the Danish royal family, princes etc. have been active Masons. John Dale wrote a book The Prince and The Paranormal which goes into the secret occult activities of the British royal family, especially Prince Charles, but also many other royal family members too. Besides the secret occult activities of the British Monarch, they have been openly leaders of Freemasonry ( see the Appendix of Be Wise As Serpents for a detailed chart on this.) The du Ponts are similar to these families in that they too are a dynasty, they too have a very public image, and they too have a totally hidden life. In fact, the du Ponts have better control over the press’s coverage of them than the British Royal Family.

One of the clues that the family is a top Satanic family are the frequency of marriages between relatives of the du Pont descendants. Few people are aware of the immense importance bloodlines play in the upper levels of Satanism. Blood is believed to carry the occult power. Unless a person has the correct blood he or she will not rise to the highest levels of Satanism. The du Ponts have intermarried with the Balls and the Gardners. These other families are known to be involved with the Illuminati and Satanism. For instance George W. Ball is on the important permanent steering committee of the Bilderbergers and has attended the Bilderberger meetings that I know of starting with the original first meeting in 1954, plus in 1955, 1957, 1963, 1964, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1974, 1975. George W. Ball is also a member of CFR and the Trilateral Commission. Eliza Cazenove (Gardner was a sister to a du Pont.) Iorsey Cazenove (Gardner was a distant cousin. Will Gardner and Bessie Gardner duPont were cousins of the duPonts. John W. (Gardner is a 60 Illuminatus and in charge of the Rockefeller Bros. Fund. I have found the (Gardners in the thick of Satanism and witchcraft.)
I'll leave it there for now.

stand back a little to see the big picture

Adam mosaic by Lewis Lavoie







Expanding on organized corruption, it seems clear that for all kinds of illegal, international trafficking to work (humans, drugs, weapons, etc.), there must be corruption in customs offices and transit points like airports, airport security and things like that.

Notice how in Lolita's transit from Nigeria to London, with three terrified small boys picked up en route, all the paperwork had been pre-arranged:
In a matter of three months, I had every single paper needed to leave for London. He also gave me the names of persons I had to meet and everything went well. I also had to go to Benin City (a city in Nigeria, ndlr) to collect a small parcel for him. I was a bit taken aback when I realized that the little parcel he was talking about were three young boys between the ages of eight and twelve. Their passports and visas were ready. Everything was ok. I went to see a guy called “wizard” for instructions. Our trip took us through Ghana where someone provided us with Liberian passports with which we traveled to London. This was to help us obtain refugee status with ease. We left after spending three days in a shantytown in Accra where we were hidden to “avoid being spotted by jealous people who were not as lucky as us!”...At the airport, my fiancĂ© and the person who was to collect the children were waiting. The separation was very painful. A lot of force was needed to tear the little boy from me. I never heard of those children again.
The wealthy man who 'purchased' Lolita moved her through the process without difficulty, he had everything pre-arranged. Apparently nobody intervened at the airport during what must have been a scene as they tore the terrified little boy away from her. What do people do when witnessing scenes in public? They don't get involved. Why? Well for one thing they assume that the authorities will step in and handle anything suspicious. And for another thing they are afraid to get involved. This mind-control over-rides the human impulse to stop, inquire and help. We stop and stare, but then we think about our own self-preservation. We don't know what's going on, we've heard so many horror stories, etc. So we mentally transfer the responsibility to help over to "the authorities," who are trained in these matters, and then we leave. After all, we have been assured that the authorities follow up on all suspicious behavior, right? Indeed, this has been drilled into our heads. Over in the UK they are well advanced in proactively criminalizing the entire society.
New figures from the Justice Department show that an increasing number of people is being criminalised, principally the over-40s who have never been in trouble with the police and have never really done anything wrong apart from breaking the speed limit occasionally. The number of over-40s receiving a first conviction or caution has increased by half since 2001 and is now running at 65 a day. The figures reflect the fact that many of Labour’s new spot fines for ''crimes’’ such as overfilling a wheelie bin are aimed at householders.
And here in the homeland we have plenty of people tasered to death for doing nothing much. We know that interfacing with authorities is not advised, so we don't. It's best not to interfere. I would say that conditioning has been very effective, and perhaps -- in the long view -- the crazy laws were enacted specifically for this purpose, along with the drip of media reports about people getting caught up in Kafkaesque circumstances with the legal system. The Cato Institute even has a book about it called Go Directly to Jail: The Criminalization of Almost Everything, in which smart think-tank people lament the burgeoning criminal code and the byzantine criminal justice system! It's the tough-on-crime conservatives they say, and it's the anti-big-business liberals too. All these individual components have grown and morphed, surely by accident, into something monstrous. Oh dear. Let's write a book about it for our CV.

But hey, come one. Who brought us this system in the first place? People from think tanks. This stuff doesn't happen by accident. It's a big pattern, a long trend. Stand back a little and look at it from a distance. It's amazing no, how the thing holds together, as if created by an artist of some genious?

The situation thus created makes a nice thick buffer zone between the authorities and the society of normal people. Normal people assume, logically, that since the authorities seem to be hyper-alert to potential criminals and terrorists, ready to whip their tasers and assault weapons out at the slightest provocation, surely nobody can get away with anything. And yet, what appears to be happening is that the authorities -- some of them -- use your logical assumptions and your fear of approaching them, assumptions which have been carefully planted and nurtured through the media, to openly facilitate crime such as human trafficking in broad daylight.

the dangerous work of tracking x-war attacks

The other day, as you probably read somewhere, a British nuclear energy expert, Tim Hampton, plunged to his death at the UN building in Vienna, Austria. He had been involved in disarmament negotiations with Iran.

A colleague of this Tim Hampton's sent correspondence to George Ure at Urban Survival, which in part says:
Apart from his work of watching whether some shaking earth is an earthquake or an illegal nuclear test (what is a legal nuclear test), he was interested in many side applications during the last years, and involved in setting up a tsunami warning system. He too was responsible for the CTBTO computer network - kind of super-admin and strategy planner. Ugh - still can't believe this!
That reminded me of reading allegations that the huge tsunami of December 2004 had been triggered by an undersea nuclear test. On purpose or by accident, who can say. It's just another conspiracy theory I suppose, something easily dismissed by people not inclined to understand that the human population of planet earth is under attack and has been under attack for quite some time, by various means.

Just weeks before that horrible tsunami, this article appeared in Pravda: X-wars technology caused the deaths of well-known Russian politicians.

On January, 6, Krasnoyarsk court finished the legal hearing of the case on the helicopter crash which caused the death of governor Alexander Lebed and his companions. The helicopter crew commander has been sentenced to three years of imprisonment, and "human mistakes" factor has been named the cause of the tragedy. We are not going to undermine the official version, but the version of Krasnoyarsk physicist Pavel Polujan is worth mentioning.

...I cannot be absolutely sure, but we all are well aware of the several mysterious accidents which caused the deaths of several well-known politicians, Army officers and public figures. As a rule, the causes of such accidents were not discovered, yet the version of malicious intention was excluded - there were neither signs of explosion nor the evidence of any diversion - mechanical failure made by people. However, it is quite possible to assume that these incidents resulted from the acts of terrorism with the use of secret whirlwinds weapon. No traces of such weapons remain – the plane or helicopter simply falls down to the ground after entering the zone of so-called modified environment. Plane wings and helicopter propeller are designed for certain characteristics of air. If air characteristics become different, the machine becomes unstable.

How is it possible to change the characteristics of atmosphere?

There are various ways. For example, devices modifying ionosphere with the help of powerful radar radiation have been introduced for antimissile defense. In Alaska such HAARP system was deployed, and the international community raised concerns that it can seriously broke the established energetic balance of the Earth atmosphere. For the devices flying at lower altitudes other methods can be used, as creating artificial turbulence in air.

...

In other words, in case of governor Lebed’s helicopter crash we can suspect possible diversion, but unable to prove it?

For this case I would not decline the suspicions. I just wanted to draw the public attention to the X-war technologies.

What do you mean by “X-war”?

Special secret mode of conducting wars. This concept was developed, when it became clear that direct military conflict will inevitably result in nuclear self-destruction. Then the idea appeared that the battle can be conducted while pretending that the conditions of peace are being maintained. In fact, the war is going on, but by the other, “quiet” means. They include the methods of economic and financial diversions, information-psychological technologies aimed at degrading the social structure of the attacked people. Biological diversions infected cattle or agricultural plants or even people, not by some disease causing death, but by an infection planting panic and confusion within the society. Certainly, technical devices causing accidents not only to planes, but to power systems might be created. During the period of "Cold War" much money was invested into the development of the X-war methods and technologies.

Your words make us look at the current world affairs from a different angle.

Certainly. Today the global X-war is in the full swing and in some areas it has already reached the “boiling point”. Meanwhile, the purposes at this war are the same as they used to be - submitting the attacked country by the state-aggressor , taking over its resources, reorienting its economic potential according to the interests of the aggressor. I am not going to name any concrete states here, hoping that the readers can come to the necessary conclusions by themselves.

X-war attacks, by definition, appear to be Acts of God or Mother Nature. It's the best plausible deniability money can buy. And it probably costs a lot of money. And obviously, it needs to remain hidden. If people understood that tornadoes and hurricanes and earthquakes can be created, manipulated, directed, etc., well that would be quite an eye-opener. So this must necessarily be black budget technology funded through black budget sources -- ie: drug money, arms trafficking, etc. -- and it is controlled by the most powerful actors on the world's stage.

Who controls the international crime syndicate? The Iranians? I don't think so. It's the same cast of characters we're always talking about.

We also know that plans for world domination are very large and very old. They are hidden in plain site based on the Big Lie hypothesis, meaning that most people will never believe it so you don't even have to hide it.

And in any case, some things remain easy to hide in plain sight. Look at how many earthquakes occur in the world in a given week -- easily over 100, and that only includes the ones big enough to count. IF some people wanted to 'hide' an illegal nuclear test as an earthquake, well I would guess that could be arranged. It would take an expert like Tim Hampton to have both the expertise and the access to information to catch such an illegal test out of all the many earthquakes that occur throughout the world each week. People like Tim Hampton don't grow on trees.

Now one might conclude, as George Ure does, something like the following after Tim Hampton's mysterious death:
Is working for the UN CTBTO suddenly the most dangerous profession in the world? If yes (which seems a bit obvious) then the "Why?" question comes up. Seems to me that either a) someone is going to extreme lengths to make it look like Iran is hiding something more or b) Iran really is hiding something more.

In either case, a damn shame about the experts dying and it will no doubt drive further speculation as to what's really going on in those hidden Iranian labs.
Yes. No doubt.

AND CUI BONO FROM THAT? Iran? I don't think so.

one big happy family i guess

You know the Bushes and the Saudis are tight, right? I think most people running in these circles have some vague understanding of that much...pictures of George the Younger holding hands with his pals and so forth.

There's also the question of whether the Saudi royal family are crypto-Jews. In general the subject of crypto-Jews in Arab countries remains obscure.

This information comes from The Scribe, which as best I can tell is a historical website of a Sephardic Iraqi Jew:
http://www.dangoor.com/74008.html

A crypto Jewish couple from Saudi Arabia with their twelve children came to London a few years ago and visited the offices of the Exilarch’s Foundation, asking for help to obtain a visa to enable them to emigrate to Israel. However, the Israel Embassy in London turned down their application and they decided to travel to Jordan and move over to Israel clandestinely.

According to their evidence there are thousands of crypto Jews in Saudi Arabia who lead a separate existence from the main population. To our knowledge, there are no Jews living in Kuwait, but a number of Jewish families still live in Bahrain, mainly of Iraqi origin.

also this: http://www.dangoor.com/issue78/articles/letters/12.htm

(Q) Is there any further information on the Saudi family claiming to be Crypto Jews who went to London several years ago, or any other info on Saudi Crypto Jews. Medina (Al Yatribe) and Kyber Oasis were Jewish areas in Saudia which were ethnically cleansed after the death of Muhammad.

...(A) The Crypto Jews who contacted the Scribe, were unable to obtain Israeli visas and said at the time that they would go to Jordan and smuggle themselves to Israel. According to the head of the family there are a number of Crypto Jews still in Arabia who lead a separate life and inter- marry within the group.
So if it's true, it's a pretty tightly held secret.

Here is additional background (links removed, click through for more plus links):
Jews have lived in Saudi Arabia for over 1400 years. Several Arab/Muslim intelligence agencies think the Saudi royal clan are Crypto-Jewish. There mission is to spread for The UK an extreme form of Islam which is wholly irrelevant in the twenty-first century, keep Muslims backward, destroy progressive thought in Muslim society---where it was the leader in such matters in the world at one time, progressive movements and progressive persons within the umma.

Whilst the Saudi Royals live the most unholiest of lives, even by moderate Islamic standards----Western prostitutes, call girls, casino's, wild parties, massive palaces, extravagant spending in the face of Muslims suffering around the world...

Thus we see the Saudis funding 'Operation Cyclone' and 'Operation greenbelt' dollar for dollar for the creation of Islamic holy warriors in the wake of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Osama and some of his most closest cohorts came from Saudi-----more on him later. The Saudis also funded the Taliban partly. Being leaders of the two most holy places of Islam they seem to be providing minimal leadership to the umma where it matters, when Arabs are victims of genocide left, right, and center around them----Iraq, Palestine and Somalia. Finally the Saudis were installed through the good grace of the British; Rothschild Britain.
So I'm looking for news today, and I come across this (links removed):

http://www.layalina.tv/publications/review/PR_V.22/article8.html

...and I notice it has Israeli talking points. Like for instance: Iran and Ahmadinejad are bad, Western Powers are good, Iran is hiding something, etc. Hopefully you can see them. That Canada Free Press article alone presents a case of extreme Israel hagiography in which Saudi Arabia has cruelly used little Israel as a punching bag to take the body blows that rightfully should be directed at Saudi Arabia. Those mean Saudis. They're kind of like the evil big brother or something, but NO WE'RE NOT RELATED. I don't know. The passion against Saudi Arabia has a little whiff of 'Ma, this is SO NOT FAIR!' to me.
Asserting its influence on Middle Eastern politics and power relations, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused "Western powers" of wielding the media for "full-fledged psychological attacks as a lever to influence nations against their better judgment," reports Press TV.

The media's ability to shape the relationship between Iran and other nations has been increasingly analyzed and exploited in the weeks prior to the first significant negotiations between Iran and Western powers. Press TV further antagonizes this divide by referring to "Western powers" throughout the article.

Indirectly referring to Israel and the US, Ahmadinejad alleged that media campaigns led by "some regimes" have become "the prime weapon-of-choice against other countries" to advance their political agenda rather than properly report on Iranian affairs.

Khalil Sheikh, writing for the Daily 49er, laments the "aggressive right wing rhetoric," and the lack of factual analysis of Middle Eastern politics that led many people to be "blind under the umbrella of misconception that Iran is a threat to the ‘free world.'"

Ahmadinejad's comments coincided with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) takeover of Iran's telecommunications monopoly, reports the New York Times. The acquisition "amplified concerns in Iran over what some call the rise of a pseudo-government."

The Guards, whose mandate is to "protect the revolution," oversee Iran's nuclear and missile programs. According to the New York Times, the Guards tightened their political and economic control following this summer's elections.

It remains unclear as to whether the Guards taking over major sectors of the economy will significantly impact Iranian media freedom or foreign policy. Some analysts believe that the Guards' growing influence will further hamper opening up to the West.

"It's not just a matter of the Guards dominating the economy, but of controlling the state," commented Alireza Nader, an expert on Iran. Any integration on a global scale would require greater transparency, which the Guards are averse to do since it may imply having to relinquish some of their control.

On the eve of major negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program, experts are extensively scrutinizing President Obama's policies.

Daniel Greenfield, writing for Canada Free Press, asserts that Obama's policies toward Iran are driven by the "concerns of Saudi Arabia." In Greenfield's opinion, Saudi Arabia is mainly concerned with its Sunni influence in the Middle East jeopardized by Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons.

"Muslim holy wars that are fought against other Muslims are often indirect," writes Greenfield. "The Sunni powers in the Middle East understand that when Ahmadinejad talks about destroying Israel, he only means destroying Israel first, and them second...Israel is not the endgame, they are."

According to Greenfield, Obama's policy of "soft power, engagement and appeasement" arises directly from Saudi influence that seeks to defuse the Iranian threat "without war or any democratization or regional political instability that might rebound back in Riyadh." Consequently, "Obama is dithering on Iran, because the Saudis are dithering on Iran," a policy direction rejected by Greenfield.

The conflict between Iran and Saudi Arabia is epitomized by various accusations that Iranian and Saudi Arabian media outlets have exchanged since the contested 2009 Iranian presidential elections, writes the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

Iranian television channels allege that Saudi media is "waging an anti-Iran campaign in coordination with Israel in the West," and that Saudi Arabia is an "absolutist dictatorship" with "no status whatsoever in the Islamic world."

In response, Saudi papers have accused Al-Qaeda of being an "Iranian front organization," whose operations are primarily designed to benefit Iran. Iran's nuclear ambitions and "alleged aspirations to take over the Middle East" are repeatedly condemned and the Saudi daily Al-Riyadh called on Arabs to protect themselves "with a force that recognizes the struggle between opposites."

Unlike Greenfield, Iranian lawyer and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Shirin Ebadi supports a soft power approach, according to The Washington Post.

Ebadi claimed that the Obama administration has made several mistakes regarding Iran, arguing that the nature of Iran's regime is more crucial to US security than deals on nuclear energy, because nuclear programs would not be a threat in the hands of a government that did not view America or Israel as enemies.

"If the West focuses exclusively on the nuclear issue, Ahmadinejad can tell his people that the West is against Iran's national interest and rally people to his cause," argued Ebadi. "But if the West presses also on its human rights record, he will find himself in a position where his popular base is getting weaker and weaker by the day."
Obama declared that "the voice of the people needs to be heard," she continued, "but he needs to repeat the statement again and again, so that people in Iran hear him."

UPDATE: "Saudi-backed, anti-Iranian" means CIA and Mossad

Peter Chamberlin commentary:
[The White House Feigns ignorance of some CIA programs, in order to maintain its deniability. There has never been even one anti-Iranian operation anywhere that was not controlled or monitored by the CIA. Even if it was true that the Jundullah outfit that attacked in Iran was really not a Pakistani group, even though it was based in S. Waziristan, the CIA knew of their actions and aims beforehand and chose to let them happen, just the way they "let 911 happen." Every Sunni terrorist outfit, especially all those described as being "al Qaida related" are CIA sponsored, using Saudi money, under ISI direction, facilitated by the Mossad.]
His commentary is on this piece from the Asia Times: Saudi-Iranian hostility hits boiling point

excerpts:
This brings us to Saudi Arabia, whose relations with Iran are passing through a period of mutual antipathy bordering on hostility....Saudi newspapers with links to the establishment have carried in recent months extremely vituperative attacks against the regime in Tehran, often at a personal level directed against the Iranian leadership. They have almost gone into mourning now that the turmoil on Tehran's streets following the disputed presidential election has receded.

...Saudi Arabia has two great worries over Iran. First, that Obama is pressing ahead with the normalization process with Tehran - a "thaw" was visible at the Geneva talks on October 1- and Tehran has begun responding to US overtures. The worst Saudi nightmare is coming true.

King Abdullah, who had refused to visit Damascus, landed there two weeks ago on a three-day visit in a desperate attempt to bring Syria into the Arab fold and to "isolate" Iran. Riyadh is worried that Iran's status as a regional power will get a massive boost if the normalization process with the US advances, and that can only be at the cost of Saudi Arabia's pre-eminence in the region. Riyadh helplessly watches a beeline of other Persian Gulf states reaching out to Tehran for accommodation.

In other words, Riyadh has a vested interest, which is no less than Israel's, to disrupt the US-Iran nuclear talks.
Maybe Riyadh's interests and Israel's interests look so similar because it's really all one big happy family, hmm?

the smart ones die first, that's part of the plan




Indeed, those in love with their own intelligence shall be the first to go.

I have found that intelligent, liberal-minded people persist the longest in believing that "the system" works, or if you can get them to admit it's broken they persist the longest in believing that it can be fixed. Why? Because they know that intelligent, liberal-minded people -- people like them -- built the system. Intelligent people have an affinity for intricate systems. They believe that the intricate systems built by social engineers like themselves have sufficient checks and balances worked into them. Thus it is not possible for the entire system to be corrupt. Just not possible.

WRONG.

But they don't believe that. They are too smart to believe that. They *are* the people who will be conned, the people who will die first because the con is too big and too old for them to accept. I have talked to them. They remain smug.

Surely smart people have seen through the con in all this time, they say. That's ridiculous it can't be possible, they say.

Yes, we say. YES!! It IS possible. WE have seen through the con. WE are trying to tell you about the con.

No, they say. It's not possible. You are a crazy conspiracy theorist, and we dismiss you.

But that's what their intelligent liberal-minded ancestors said about all the other people who saw through the con before us, the people they claim must have existed and indeed they did. But nobody listened to them either.

This is all part of the plan.




Well, anyway, it's not going to work but at least all those smarty-pants people should give each other plentiful dope slaps when this is over.

ambitious plans for recruiting informants

Hey, the The Nazi Gestapo started out as a volunteer neighborhood informant organization for the government, too. This goes back to 2003:
In a recent telephone interview, Licata said he wants to use CAT Eyes to create what he calls "a modern civil defense network," converting neighborhood watch groups into anti-terrorist informant cells. These groups, constantly watching for signs of terrorist activity in their neighborhoods and workplaces, would report suspicious activities directly to the FBI. Said Licata: "I envision 100 million Americans looking for indicators of terrorism and promptly reporting it to a central database where it would get analyzed.". . .

Licata has few qualms about the prospect of CAT Eyes-trained citizens spying on their neighbors. "If I felt that my neighbor of 10 years was doing fund-raising for a group, I'd turn 'em in," says Licata. After all, he says, the FBI will "just investigate them -- and if you're wrong, you're wrong. And if you're right, that's a big thing!". . .

Even communist East Germany, a tightly controlled society with more informants per capita than either Stalinist Russia or Nazi Germany, was not as ambitious about citizen surveillance as CAT Eyes. In its heyday, the EastGerman secret police, or Stasi, is generally believed to have had about 2 million informers, or about one-eighth of the East German population.
Oh but that would never happen here, right? Americans are freedom-loving people. This goes back to 2002:

In order to sell the community on this program, its creators probably equipped it with convincing propaganda, which is delivered by professionals. Although there has been no official admission that the following federal resources function as recruitment programs for public harassment, they are similar to ones used in German and Russian dictatorships.

The Terrorism Information and Prevention System (TIPS), appears to be a bulked-up version of a community-policing program. Even though TIPS was officially rejected by congress, the American Civil Liberty Union contends that it and similar programs are being used aggressively across the nation. Other programs must have sprung up around the planet because the reported tactics of Gang Stalking in other countries are similar.

But who is the threat? According to some of these documents at www.citizencorps.gov, the targets are criminals and terrorists. However, the definition of a terrorist in section 802 of the US Patriot Act is frighteningly vague. Basically it defines terrorism as any action that endangers human life or that violates state or federal law.

An article entitled, US Planning to Recruit One in 24 Americans as Citizen Spies, which appeared in the Sunday Morning Herald on July 15, 2002, provided us with another clue. It stated, "The Terrorism Information and Prevention System, or TIPS, means the US will have a higher percentage of citizen informants than the former East Germany through the infamous Stasi secret police."

The articled revealed that the system is poised to recruit those whose work provides access to homes, businesses, and public transportation systems. Postal workers, utility employees, truck drivers, train conductors and others are to be recruited. On "state and local" levels these informants are to be directed by FEMA. This provides a motive for the reports of people being stalked by 18-wheelers, busses, city, postal, and utility vehicles.


Oh, hey, the CAKE IS FINALLY DONE! HERE THEY ARE NOW!!!



If you really think there's a difference between iWATCH and Stasi, you're a Good American. And I don't mean that in the "nice" way.
The Stasi created a widespread network of civilian informants. These informants were citizens who cooperated with Stasi agents, sometimes in exchange for money or goods. These unofficial informants used their jobs, social influence, and family networks to spy on fellow citizens. Informants were required to report suspicious or anti-government behavior to Stasi authorities. Tips from informants were followed by further agent surveillance or immediate arrest. The Stasi maintained its own network of detention camps and prisons, the most notorious of which was Bauden II. The Stasi garnered a reputation for its use of brutality, torture, and blackmail as routine methods of extracting information and coercing cooperation.

thoughts on the resistance

In order for the resistance to work, we need to know individually and as a whole what we're resisting. The large outlines are pretty clear: world government, financial slavery, martial law, a medical police state. This is about maintaining sovereignty. Sovereignty over our country, sovereignty over our states, sovereignty over cities and towns, sovereignty over our families. Sovereignty over our bodies and our minds.

Sometimes the resistance will require that you do something, and other times it will require that you not do something. It depends what the evil force is doing. An effective resistance implies doing the opposite of whatever the evil force is trying to get you to do. If they want you to stop doing something, you don't stop. If they want you to start doing something, you don't start. You simply have to figure out what they want and do the opposite.

In essence, TPTB want to remove all sovereignty. They want total control. At best, they want you to be a slave. But they don't say that of course, that would tip you off. So instead they weave a narrative. In this narrative they are simply adding a layer on top of the existing structures, which of course will remain with only slight changes not to worry, and this supra-national layer of cooperation will facilitate solving all sorts of seemingly intractable problems that we hear so much about: wars, the environment, the financial crisis, world hunger, terrorism, etc. They helpfully explain that if we only cooperated just a little more, we can solve these problems. Yes we can. You may not realize or even believe that you will cede sovereignty for this to work, but actually, that is the whole point of the exercise. Of course they don't explain that. You would never agree to it, as they know perfectly well! Thus the lies of omission. Lies of comission. Many, many lies.

The evil works from the top down, from the outside in. The resistance works from the bottom up, from the inside out. It starts in your mind. It starts in you when you reclaim sovereignty over your own thoughts. If there's one thing the resistance needs, it is for people to think. Thinking is creative. The resistance begins in your mind, in the sovereignty of your mind. If you're not free there, you will never be free. And if you are free in your own mind, the rest will follow.

Free people have dignity. Dignity means that you don't sit around waiting for people to do things for you if you can do them yourself. You are free to take care of yourself. Little babies wear diapers and we have to change them. Little toddlers learn to use the toilet and for a while we have to help them. Eventually they can do it all by themselves and everyone is happy. It's a basic level of dignity. Hold onto your freedom. Hold onto your dignity. Don't give them away because you'll enjoy that about as much as having to call someone in to wipe your own ass for you.

It is my belief that God very much wants us to do some very basic things for ourselves at this moment in time. Just as a parent who *knows* his child is capable of managing things in the bathroom might say, "Please don't make me come in there, you can handle it. Do the best you can." So perhaps might God have the same attitude with us right now. Yes it's messy. We can handle it. We can always take a shower after. Thank you God for making human beings completely washable. Even if he decides to come in, the most he might do is start running the hot water for us. That would be ok. That means we can take a nice shower soon.

God created us. He created us in his image. Thus we can create. Human beings are creative. The resistance is creative. The resistance is how God works through human beings to protect his own creation.

Some people never seem to create anything but always want to destroy things. You can tell if they lie, if they say anything that seems convenient and don't seem to even realize they're doing it. You can tell if they don't seem to have any personal integrity, anything inside that helps them resist doing whatever they feel like at any given moment. These sorts of people will not be part of the resistance. Don't waste your time with them. The resistance is a creative force, not a destructive force. The bare threshold requirement is that people have some ability to think their own thoughts and display some personal integrity.

The resistance also needs everyone to think because the evil force uses trickery, and in particular they use trickery to get people to REact. A sovereign action, a sovereign decision, is not the same as a reaction. When you decide to take your car out for a drive, that is a sovereign decision. When you swerve to avoid hitting a deer, that is a reaction. The evil force will try to elicit reactions that they can then use to justify what they have long planned. That is why we all need to be able to think, so that we can properly assess when we might be walking into a trap.

Sometimes you will need to do something, and sometimes you will need to do nothing. There's no manual. This will be a creative process. That is why it will work.

UPDATE: Jim Kirwan writes:
"An insidious brainwashing program set to be launched next week will "organically" weave the government's political propaganda into prime time network television shows, with positive talking points about Obama's environmental, bailout, health care and "servitude" agenda being seamlessly integrated into the content of dramas, reality shows and comedies.

Under the auspices of a program run by the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF), network TV shows will be used to promote "service and volunteerism" on behalf of the public as part of a "week-long of television programming on all four leading broadcast networks ­ ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, and all affiliated broadcast and cable properties as well, and other networks, beginning October 19."

According to the EIF press release, "Network shows that will feature volunteerism in some way during the week of Oct 19th," include the following.

ABC
All My Children, America's Funniest Home Videos, Brothers and Sisters, Castle, Cougar Town, Dancing With The Stars, Desperate Housewives, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Flash Forward, General Hospital, Good Morning America, Grey's Anatomy, Hank, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Modern Family, One Life To Live, Private Practice, The Forgotten, The Middle, The View, Ugly Betty

CBS
Cold Case, Criminal Minds, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, Gary Unmarried, Ghost Whisperer, Numb3rs

FOX
America's Most Wanted, Bones, Brothers, COPS, So You Think You Can Dance, Till Death

NBC
30 Rock, Access Hollywood, Community, Days of Our Lives, Heroes, Parks and Recreation, The Biggest Loser, The Office, Today Show

Despite the fact that this was announced back in September, a new investigation by John Nolte has revealed all kinds of surreptitious connections that give a solid indication of what we can expect to be promoted by the TV shows that will effectively be under government control from Monday onwards.
Hokay! Well, if you watch teevee (and I don't), and you think people like me and Jim are crazy conspiracy theorists, here's the challenge:

Watch some of these shows with this information in mind, and ask yourself honestly: Are they trying to control what you think?

Now why would they do that?

UPDATE 2: Henry Makow writes:
In the documentary, "Demographic Bomb," the Director of the UN Population Division, Hania Zlotnick admits the UN got women in developing countries to sterilize themselves by having TV stars do it in soap operas.

In developed countries, the Illuminati bankers have achieved the same goal in similar fashion by pushing promiscuity and homosexuality in the mass media.

In a famous 1969 memo, Rockefeller-sponsored Planned Parenthood VP Frederick Jaffe proposed the following measures to reduce U.S. fertility: (a) encourage increased homosexuality,(b) fertility control agents in water supply, (c) encourage women to work, (d) abortion and sterilization on demand, and (e) make contraception truly available and accessible to all.

The mass media is the mental "water supply." It defines "norms" (acceptable behavior) and therefore reshapes behavior. You can't watch television without seeing aggressive career women showing up men and engaging in promiscuous sex, often with each other. Homosexuality is treated as normal, the "cool" and "edgy" thing. The Illuminati have moved the goalposts, and created a new bogus reality. They have decreased the birth rate in the United States as surely as in Bangladesh.

An illustration of how tightly controlled the TV plot-lines are: This week, 90 television shows are promoting "volunteerism" in their stories. They don't tell you what else they have promoting over the years, but it's plain to see: racism, i.e. the disappearance of race through interracial marriages; disappearance of religion and family (feminism); and the fore mentioned promiscuity and homosexuality. This agenda is mirrored in the school system.
Programming is programming.
