Twelfth Bough

Scouring the news this morning, the war drums against Iran and Lebanon seem quite deafening. No evidence mind you, just the usual mind-numbing hysteria. It's very important to note at this juncture how the media plants and links certain ideas to manipulate public opinion. Here, for one thing, are two related stories about Iran. Hillary Clinton was on CNN admitting to the US working 'behind the scenes' to support the election protesters in Iran. Now someone paying attention knows she's admitting to psyops, but she applies the spin carefully: “We did not want to get between the legitimate protests and demonstrations of the Iranian people and the leadership,” Clinton said in an interview with CNN broadcast on Sunday.“And we knew that if we stepped in too soon, too hard... the leadership would try to use us to unify the country against the protestors.” “Now, behind the scenes, we were doing a lot,” Clinton said. “We were doing a lot to really empower the protestors without...

Brother Nathanael has a scathing rundown of an AIPAC all expenses paid junket to Israel for 25 congressional republicans, and it's well worth clicking through. Lots of links. Bring a bucket. “We are concerned about the focus being placed on settlement growth when the real issue is the existential threat that Israel faces from Iran . We do not support the decision by the Obama administration to engage with the terrorist regime in Tehran . ” - Representative Eric Cantor, the "Only Jewish Republican in National US Politics" [ !!! OMG THE POOR JEWISH PEOPLE!!! HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO DEFEND THEMSELVES WHEN THEY ONLY HAVE ONE JEWISH REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATIVE IN NATIONAL US POLITICS??!!??!!! PEOPLE DO YOU SEE THE PROBLEM?!!!!?? ] No really, it really did say that, and it's not The Onion, look... WASHINGTON (AFP) - One of President Barack Obama's top congressional critics said Friday he hoped to reassure staunch US ally Israel of unbending US support during a...

Hey, wouldn't it be great to just invent a product that is pretty much indistinguishable from some other product already on the market but just convince everyone that your product is new and improved and then make people spend BILLIONS of dollars on your product? If anyone says hey your product is exactly the same as this other product you could say pfft, shut up and give me your money. It is whatever we say it is. What do you think we count this stuff? WE ONLY COUNT THE MONEY. via Jane Burgermeister: According to MSNBC, the CDC has found that rapid tests to diagnose the “swine flu” can be wrong as much as nine times out of ten. The “best” test was wrong half the time, the CDC found. The government study indicating that rapid tests to diagnose the “swine flu” could hardly distinguish between the “swine flu” and normal seasonal flu gives support to those medical experts who say the “swine flu” is a harmless, ordinary flu that is being hyped by the WHO and the vaccine companies to j...

Oh, wow. So, um, if Andy Griffith says the sheriff's department ran out of money and he has No Choice but to call in the National Guard to keep people safe, like that would be ok right?

Maybe Janet should go have a gypsy read the tarot cards so she can give us even better predictions. Like for instance, what are they going to do to us when we start refusing the vaccine? That would be useful to know from the Department of Homeland Security. U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano asserted Tuesday that pandemic flu is likely to flare up soon after schools open in the fall, well before any vaccine is available. How on *earth* does she know this???? Napolitano also acknowledged that there would not be enough pandemic flu vaccine for everyone, at least in the early stages of the flu season. "There will be prioritization of vaccinations," she told members of the USA TODAY editorial board. The flu strain causing the pandemic, a new strain of H1N1 flu that is also known as swine flu, is especially dangerous because it is genetically different from virtually every other known flu virus. As a result, most people are defenseless against it — making vacc...

I set up another blog in case "something happens" to my blogs, this one or After Armageddon News. I also have Twelfth Bough on wordpress, though it has not been updated in months. Update: Over at Goon Squad you can read the comments and reactions to Kenny's Sideshow being scrubbed from the web. Kenny provided a hub. I don't know what he had for traffic but his site worked and he has a great eye for story. It's good to see the awareness and many ideas people have to circumvent censorship. As explained in Political Ponerology, many small acts of non-compliance by ordinary people will reliably disrupt evil. Update: The mind-fucking never ceases! Kenny's back up which is great. Of course, just a big black hole of confusion about what happened. I mean, it's not like one should expect a busy website going missing and reappearing after a few days as being worthy of an explanation from a giant company like google/blogger. Why would they owe him an explanation? ...

Somewhat more detailed information about the Jewish fanatics at al-Aqsa Mosque. More than 200 Jewish fanatics on Wednesday morning stormed the holy Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem and offered Talmudic rituals on the anniversary of the so-called destruction of the temple. The Aqsa foundation for endowment and heritage said in a statement that the Jews spread in various areas of the holy compound and roamed its plazas while performing those rituals under the full protection of Israeli occupation police. Uh huh. I see. These Jewish "fanatics" appear to have plenty of support. RAMALLAH: A news survey conducted by the Israeli Ynet news service and the Gesher organization found that about two thirds of the Israeli public want the Second Temple rebuilt. Gesher claims a 4.6 margin of error on a survey of 516 Israelis. The Temple Mount, which is the foundation of the First and Second temples is today home to Islam’s third-holiest mosque, Al-Aqsa. The Second Temple, built b...
