The New World Odour

Can Obama survive? 
The campaign against health-care reform fuels a huge number of hate-filled Americans who will never accept a black man as president

This echoes my sentiments stated during the election campaigning - that Americans will never accept a Black man as president.  With 46% of Americans against him, the only reason Obama won is because he got the Black vote, based solely on the desire to realize the dream of having a Black president, without a serious look into the New World Order machine pulling his strings.  And the only reason a Black was put forward was in order to capitalize on the Black vote rather than having to thwart it by various corrupt means as was done during the Bush campaigns.

I take issue, however, with the Globe creating the impression that only right wing fanatics are in agreement with the opposition to the health care plan as proposed by Obama.  Obama made it clear in his first major speech in office that a lot of things are being done for seniors that aren't making them any healthier (see: YYC: Obama's song: new tune, same lyrics - a rundown of the issues covered in his hour-long speech.)

In what so-called democracy does a panel decide under what conditions a citizen is entitled to "universal" health care?

Interesting links and comments from readers -

Big thanks to my readers who lighten the load of keeping a daily blog:

From John:

‘God's verdict' outranks history's, PM says

John comments: "I do not trust politicians talking like that. They always seem to know it all. Bush was even talking to the guy upstairs"

YYC: Harper doesn't behave at all like Jesus, so I suspect the God stuff is a sop to his fanatical, far right, religious supporters, who don't behave much like Jesus either.

But all that stuff about spending time with his family sounds a bit like he's seeing his own personal "end of days" on the horizon. It's the standard, supremely acceptable and even noble excuse for resigning from public office when you've tanked.

I keep wondering if Lawrence ("Loose") Cannon will be put forward in Harper's place, since he's more popular in Quebec than is Harper and now he's seen to be putting pressure on Iran.  It doesn't matter if he misspeaks occasionally.  Bush did it all the time.

Speaking of "end of days" - you might be interested in this weird yet fascinating video:

The following links and insights are provided by Mareta:

Africa seeks climate change cash

"On the surface it sounds reasonable - the developed world should compensate Africa for the effects of climate change - especially the effects of drought - through its reckless consumption of the earth's resources.

"But - who is going to benefit? The African elite, surely, who have always enjoyed rich lifestyles funded by aid money and what about North American and British corporations with investment in Africa? I imagine that this compensation will be used to stimulate the economy through corporate deals. In otherwords, same old same old - the plebes will be taxed to further consolidate the wealth among the global elite."
Billions face climate change risk
"There is no proof yet that global warming is going to do any of this and yet they are pushing this as an inevitable outcome - why the sensationalism? Is this all the hype to get everyone on board about compensating Africa? (Fill the pockets of the elite?)

"Honestly, I'm starting to get very very tired of seeing this kind of deception over and over again.

"These people are seriously out of control."
Lesbians given equal birth rights
"Again, it all sounds so nice and tolerant and liberal-minded. Notice that the only criticism listed comes from a CHRISTIAN Medical Fellowship doctor - to be interpreted as the "Christian (intolerant) Right".

"What is interesting is the claim that the goal of this is to allow lesbian couples "equal access to services they fund as taxpayers". Why not simply give them these rights rather than create a legal fiction for the birth of the child? Isn't the birth certificate about who genetically fathers (and mothers) the child rather than who raises the child?

"This is a significant change in thinking about the defintion of family and more importantly about family line.

"I think this indicates just how important the family line is to the elite - important enough to destroy any trace of it in the plebes for fear that they may discover who they really are and demand equal rights to wealth and prestige.

"I read somewhere that a genealogist calculated that likely every 1/300 people is related to royalty. Good thing the vast majority of them don't know it."
Genetic advance raises IVF hopes
"What we really seem to be talking about is genetic alteration of the human genome - for the purpose of eugenics.

"This also marks the beginning of humans made to order - humans made with specific purposes. (I'm beginning to wonder if Tsarion really is a shill and in fact is running around telling his fairytales as FORESHADOWING for what the elite hope will come - a dominant race and a genetically-modified slave race.)

"Nice packaging it up as help for couples to have healthy babies."
YYC: Even if it's well-intentioned (and that all depends on who is behind the research) have there ever been any scientific discoveries that have not been perverted to nefarious uses?  And we are certainly headed toward a new feudal system.

I believe that this current economic crunch was manufactured for the same purposes as of all of them in the past - to push wages down; to bust unions; to decimate the numbers of middle income earners. Seriously - when you see a headline like this: Canada's big banks earn $500M more than a year earlier, topping expectations can you really believe that a "stimulus package" was needed?

A cure for medicine

Interesting article in the Vancouver Sun on preparing for the Swine Flu onset predicted for this Fall.  Apparently Canada has ordered 50 million doses of the vaccine.  Odd, since we have less than 34 million people.  Will there be booster shots?  Or does Glaxo-Smith Kline sell only in rounded-off lots?  Try to imagine the money Big Pharm is raking in at taxpayer expense.  You can't.  It's too huge.

It's nothing but a win, win situation for the scare mongers.  If the flu doesn't manifest, it will be attributed to preparedness.  If anybody has a vaccine reaction, or gets the flu anyway, rookie immunizers or their trainers can be blamed for faulty procedure.

These are the most telling paragraphs in the whole article:

... the World Health Organization considers the severity of H1N1 to be moderate, which means most people recover without hospitalization or medical care.
Even in the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, 97 per cent of people who took ill survived -- without antibiotics, antivirals or vaccines, which had yet to be developed.
How much you wanna bet the 3% who died had other underlying causes? Still, the article goes on to say that the vaccine should be put "to good use" - you know, since we've paid for them anyway.

It also makes the case for a "crisis" czar who has jurisdiction over the provinces - a slippery slope, indeed.

I think I figured out this week why young people might be more susceptible to flu in general.  When I was young I often got by on four or five hours sleep a night, and I smoked, ate a lot of junk and got practically no outdoor exercise.  I also had the usual seasonal respiratory infections. Now that I'm old and understand my limitations I try to get plenty of sleep, do Yoga exercises and cover practically the whole of centretown on foot in a normal week just doing errands and attending events. I don't smoke, I drink green tea instead of coffee (great for allergy reduction), eat lots of fruits and vegetables, eat whole wheat bread, very little meat and hardly any sugared products.

Last Wednesday I sat on a crowded bus (Wednesday is free day for seniors in Ottawa  - thanks, OCTranspo! I can now travel to all corners of the city at no added expense) smack up beside a young woman who was talking on her mobile phone about how she had come down with a "terrible cold" and was on her way home to bed.  This is Sunday and all I have are my usual complaints - stiff knees and ankles and a bit of hip pain which would be a whole lot worse if I didn't do my Yoga exercises and take my halibut liver oil capsules every day.  I can't help wondering, however, how the rather pasty-complexioned, morbidly obese woman sitting on the other side of the sick girl on the bus fared.

I don't intend to be vaccinated, and I don't intend to come down with flu.  I didn't last year, or the year before that, or the year before that .... and you don't need to succumb either if you take care of yourself and stop relying on the overused medical system.  Did I mention that I haven't seen a doctor in over 12 years?

Does that shock you?  Does the thought of going so long without seeing a doctor make you feel fearful?  I can tell you why that is.  It's the same thing that makes some people feel guilty if they don't go to church on Sunday.  Brainwashing.  Medicine is as much a religion as ... religion.  It's all a matter of instilled belief.  Fortunately I suffered enough in my lifetime at the hands of incompetent practitioners to cure me for good.

And that's my Sunday sermon.  Bless you, my friend.  Bless you also, my enemy.

The Truth about Honduras

Take a look at the photo below. It's from one of several Honduran resistance websites. The man on the left is now dead, shot to death during a street protest. He was a union leader. The woman in the middle was injured. The man on the right is José Leonidas Martinez who spoke last evening here in Ottawa about conditions on the ground in his country since the coup.

The Toronto Honduras Resistance website is a good place for English speakers to get updates and find plenty of resources. This article explains the circumstances under which Zalaya was replaced by the leader of the party to which he belonged. This video talks about the attempted denial that it was a military coup. There are also rumours being spread that Zalaya was involved in the drug trade - a little known secret. Meanwhile, it is no secret at all that the CIA has long been involved in the drug trade. Nor is it a secret that the CIA is involved in regime change.

In plain terms, would Americans sit idle if the Chair of the Democratic National Committee were, on a vote from Congress, to replace Obama as president of the US? Would they take kindly to Obama being removed from the country by a foreign military plane?

Here in Canada, the leader of the party that wins the most seats in the House becomes Prime Minister. But the Honduran electoral system, like the American one, has a separate vote for the President. Nevertheless, Mr. Martinez says that Hondurans have had no real choice for quite some time. It's decided in the US, he says, who will be President, and Manuel "Mel" Zalaya was chosen by the US, and they could also remove him.

In fact, here's a video that says the generals who effected the Honduran coup were trained in the notorious School of the Americas - "School of Assassins" it is called by Americans who are attempting to get it shut down. Graduates of that school have been involved in probably all of the regime changes inflicted on Latin American countries. As well, many of the key figures in their governments are Chicago School "shock doctrine" graduates of the Milton Friedman genre.

Not surprisingly, to me anyway, the clergy is supporting the coup (video). The representative from the Toronto branch of the Honduran Resistance Front said last evening that religious leaders have told Honduran protesters that it is a sin to get involved in the politics of their country. This too is a familiar theme to me - evangelical missionaries are often known to actively discourage their poor converts from protesting against the rape of their country's resources by multinational corporations.

My memory on this could be faulty, but I believe it was in the documentary "Tailenders" that the suggestion was made that when missionaries arrive the multinationals can't be far behind.

Zalaya turned out, however, to care more about the people than about following US instructions. He raised wages, he instituted health care for all, he began a program of land redistribution - taking unused acreage from wealthy landowners to provide a means for the poor to make a living in agriculture.

In other words, Zalaya was behaving like a socialist - a big no-no for an American agenda that has been systematically robbing Latin American countries of their natural resources, creating great wealth for some and abject poverty for the rest.

He also proposed a referendum on the writing of a new constitution, and this is the hook upon which his enemies hung him - accusing him of setting himself up to be able to run for another term in office - even though the final word would have been that of the next government since, under the current constitution, he cannot seek another term in office. As a result of his removal, the refendum, of course, has been set aside.

The United States maintains a military base in Honduras, and it was on an American plane that Zalaya was spirited away after the coup that took place at 5:00 AM, says Martinez. When Hondurans woke up and realized what happened, they spontaneously took to the streets in huge numbers.

At first they stood around discussing what they should do next. Gradually, they got themselves more organized and have maintained a lively and vocal street presence ever since. They plan to boycott the next election, and Martinez is in Canada attempting to have the Honduran ambassador removed. He has an official letter to that effect for Peter Kent, long time talking head only recently elected to Parliament and immediately made Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, but has so far had difficulty getting his attention.

Martinez caught up with Kent at a social event and cornered him to ask why he didn't keep his appointment. He received the usual platitudes and the assurance that Canada is looking into the matter. He was told to make another appointment.

I asked Martinez what his step would be if unsuccessful in getting the Ambassador removed. He said that legal pressure would then be put on the government because it's illegal for Canada to recognize the representative of a coup.

I also asked if he knew of any members of a military faction considering a counter-coup. He said he knows of some, but they are at present very frightened. They have difficulty, however, reconciling themselves to helping suppress the protests of their countrymen, their neighbours, their families.

He also said that 2,000 American military have arrived at the Honduran base, but he's not sure what their role will be.

Zalaya, from his quarters in Nicaragua very close to the Honduran border (map), has cautioned them against using any form of violence, and they are presently protesting peacefully, in spite of brutal repression tactics from the police and military.

As Martinez pointed to photos of people killed, it became clear that these were not random killings. People deemed to be leaders were literally targeted and assassinated by sharp shooters with a single bullet to the head - a union leader, a university professor, a reporter ...

Many have simply disappeared - a familiar tactic in US-dominated Latin American countries, as famously depicted by Costa Gravas in his 1982 film: "Missing". Martinez says people are being chopped up, dumped into metal containers and set afire to thwart any chance of identification by their families.

In the audience was a man from Haiti, another country in which Canada has aided and abetted American interference. He warned the speaker not to put much stock in any words of support from any governments or government agencies. They say one thing and do another. He said that ultimately it is up to the people of Honduras to bring about their own solution, one way or another.

Indeed, it seemed there was no one in the room who believed the media stories that Obama is critical of the coup or intends to follow through on any promises.

It's tragic, but it's true. The rest of us can only listen, sympathize and contribute a few dollars to the cause. We can talk to our MPs if we think it will do some good. And we can re-tell the story.

Mind-Control Media

(1) Iran

Very few people are aware that Israel has attacked Iran's nuclear facilities in the past. If they knew, would they be so quick to condemn Iraq for its "hostile" attitude toward Israel? Instead the media have reinforced erroneous catch phrases, such as "he wants Israel wiped of the map".

Iran gets nations' backing for attack ban bid

In 1981, an Israeli air strike destroyed Iraq's only nuclear reactor.

(2) Swine Flu


Notice how the following headline stresses irresponsibility rather than possible wisdom:

Swine flu: Doctors who refuse vaccine 'putting patients at risk'
More than two thirds of GPs who told Pulse magazine that they would turn down the jab believe that it has not undergone enough tests. Doctors have been warned to look out for possible signs of Guillain Barre Syndrome, a rare neurological condition, which can cause paralysis and even death.

Earlier this month a poll of almost 1,500 Nursing Times readers revealed that one in three said that they would not have the swine flu vaccine.

Another study published online by the British Medical Journal shows that half of 8,500 healthcare workers in Hong Kong say that they would refuse a swine flu vaccine, because of safety concerns and worries that it would not work very well.

Environment Scare "Over"?

Thanks to reader Margaret in Europe:

Science and Public Policy Institute Monthly CO2 Report July 2009
"UN exaggerated warming 6-fold: the scare is over"

This will be news to Environment Canada which puts the blame squarely on CO2 and whose archives go back only to 2001, the year that spawned a thousand scares including global warming. Weather disturbances are now routinely taken as indicators of global warming (and of fulfilled endtimes prophecy), and as a result polls show that the environment is a greater concern to the general public than the economy.

The environment and the economy* are two huge problems, the workings of which are beyond figuring out by the average citizen, causing a heavy reliance on government for solutions, not realizing that reliance on callous, agenda-driven governments is the biggest of all threats** to global human welfare and that of Mother Earth.

It seems that Environment Canada has been helping to drive the shrill voice of the news media (descriptive words: dangerous, powerful, raged, menace, massive, life-threatening) predicting weather crises that don't materialize while failing to foresee some that do occur.

Wikipedia has compiled from various sources a list of tornadoes in Canada since 1792, and if you look closely at it you'll understand why Environment Canada used the qualifier "official" when it reported that Elie (Manitoba 2007) was the first F5 level tornado. There have been unofficial level 5 tornadoes in the past.

* Thanks to reader John in Manitoba, who comments: "These guys are crazy. The Canadian dollar is going down because the US dollar is losing strength fast. The US market is going to pots anyway, whether our dollar is high or low. With a higher dollar we can at least buy some goods cheaper."

" There is no evidence of any significant rise in anti-Semitism in Canada or elsewhere. In fact, as Globe and Mail columnist Michael Valpy reported in March 2004, an extensive survey on anti-Semitic attitudes by the Canadian Jewish Congress and the Canadian Council for Israel and Jewish Advocacy found very low levels of anti-Semitism. We find it very revealing that the CJC chose not to publish this survey and put off our requests for copies of the results.

Canada's Bloody Oil
My people are dying, and we believe British companies are responsible. My community, Fort Chipewyan in Alberta, Canada, is situated at the heart of the vast toxic moonscape that is the tar sands development. We live in a beautiful area, but unfortunately, we find ourselves upstream from the largest fossil fuel development on earth. UK oil companies like BP, and banks like RBS, are extracting the dirtiest form of oil from our traditional lands, and we fear it is killing us.

Common sense, please

There's an article by Kurt Nimmo at Global Research that appears to have gone a little overboard regarding a conference held this month in Washington on preparing for a swine flu emergency.

I hardly think that a caller to the Alex Jones show qualifies as the definitive last word on whether or not martial law will be implemented this fall, especially since the caller seems to have misinterpreted the purpose of the International Conference on Swine Flu, which is primarily a trade exhibition, designed to make a lot of money off the flu scare and promote the sales of various safety and security gimmicks.

It's similar to the plethora of safety and security agencies that sprang up in the wake of 9/11, cashing in on the panic. I personally know a fireman who saw his opportunity and offered his services to corporations to train key people on how to prepare not just for fires and explosions, but for such things as suspicious packages / people on their premises and even for climate change disasters - weather damage, power outages, earthquakes, and so on. All for a hefty fee of course.

The Swine Flu conference offers speakers who are connected with government and medicine, but it advertises to corporations whose profits might suffer if too many of their employees are out sick, or who might have developed a handy emergency response tool for which they would like a marketing venue. As a tertiary purpose, it shows corporations how to be seen to care about the well-being of their employees.

Doesn't the name of the agency "New-Fields Exhibitions" give a hint? New-Fields are in business to get rich off many different kinds of safety issues.

Take a good look at the brochure. See where it says "Show you care". Take a look at the registration fees. Notice how it says "Register Now! Space is Limited".

The reasons for participation are made clear, and the most important one to many of the participants is the last one in the list:

Top Five Reasons to Attend the Summit

Gain a broad bird’s eye view of the global swine flu situation.
Learn how your company / organization can prepare for a
pandemic.
Establish contacts with key local, federal and international
agencies involved in the fight against swine flu.
Role Playing Break-out Sessions
Draw on first hand best practices from top companies to create
solid business continuity plans.
It does not talk about government continuity at all. It only mentions government planning in the context of continuity of corporate operations:
Concurrent Breakout Session #4
Continuity of Operations (COOP) and Continuity
of Government Planning

When 50% or more of employees are out sick or taking care
of their sick ones
When H1N1 flu pandemic unfold[sic] in two or three successive
waves in a calendar year
Disruptions to public, private and critical infrastructure under-
mining your essentials functions
There's little doubt the US administration would welcome an opportunity to implement martial law, but I don't think this particular conference is any kind of proof that it will happen this fall.

Is your family pet lethal?

Could man's best friend trigger the next pandemic?

Margaret in Europe writes:

Are we collecting viruses to stop pandemics before they start or to create them?

Why we have virus outbreaks and how we can prevent them (Video)

I have trouble believing that AIDS came from a human being bitten by a monkey. Humans have been eating bush meat for centuries - wouldn't we have all kinds of diseases emerging from regions where humans consume bush meat?

Dr. Wolfe may be a clear example of medical indoctrination - he is convinced that he is collecting viruses for the good of humanity. But the truth is, once they are collected, these viruses can be used for any purpose. I assume that we the public are supposed to simply take it on trust that these viruses will indeed only be used for averting pandemics.

Given that people like [John] Holdren (who is desperately trying to distance himself from his damning book and who is adored by Rockefeller who has always supported eugenics and depopulation initiatives) are actually in the White House, and that Big Pharma is always looking for more profit, it makes me very uncomfortable knowing that the American Medical Association will have a private collection of wild viruses that have the potential to cross from animals to humans.

Even if I trusted their motives I would still be very concerned. These viruses have been lying safely in animals in Africa for centuries and any kind of cross over between animals and humans would likely have taken a long time to occur. A collection of them provides an opportunity for both accidental (or deliberate) exposure. I think this initiative is extremely risky and likely unnecessary.
Many thanks to Margaret for sparking the following bit of research:

Nathan Wolfe is a young guy with an awfully short career to have had his profile so highly elevated by numerous glowing accolades and awards along with massive funding from such hefty sources as Bill and Melinda Gates (who love interfering in Africa) the US Defense Dept. - and, you guessed it, Merck. Wolfe must be saying and doing all the right things.

Specifically, he is blaming Africa and animals for the AIDS epidemic, thereby taking the heat off the biowarfare industry and at the same time helping to build a strong case for universal mandatory vaccinations.

Wolfe has even gone so far as to try to make you fear your family pet, from whence, he says (PDF), could spring the next pandemic.

By Wolfe's own logic then, you should fear vaccines since they commonly contain animal proteins, including monkey and chicken (remember bird flu?).

And in case you think the gelatin in vaccines is just, like, sort of harmless Jello, be reminded that "gelatin is a protein product obtained from pigs, cattle, and fish".

Certainly, if you're vegan, you should avoid vaccines.

Oh, maybe it's all purified and harmless and everything, but also know that in 2005 there were "several human DNA vaccine projects in the works" - in other words, not using live viruses obtained from animals but the actual DNA of the infected animal.

We have to face the fact that we really have no idea of the total content of vaccines except what Big Pharma will admit to.

Wolfe's mentor at Harvard was Donald Burke. Check out his bio. He's a retired army colonel, military through and through, and is involved in a study (scroll to third item titled "To Stop the Pandemic") of how to deploy (new, hastily prepared, experimental) vaccines in a pandemic - also funded by Bill and Melinda Gates.

Wolfe's studies are conducted in Cameroon which is, of course, another little oil country in which the US would have high interest. Check out its history of French and British colonial rule - where there's no actual slavery, no, not at all, just "forced labour" - which makes it understandable why so many of the natives remain dependent on bush meat and might easily be induced to submit to "scientific" experimentation for very little reward, although I find it encouraging to note that they still prefer traditional medicine over western - instinct kicking in?

Central Africa is also the location of the Ebola outbreak, and where the purported antidote is being tested on monkeys. One can't help wondering whether Ebola killed 5000 gorillas or they were done in by experimentation. Especially in view of research that suggests both AIDS and Ebola were man-made.

Non-human primates have been used for decades as experimental subjects, and since vaccines have been produced that contain monkey proteins, it's wise to consider the strong possibility that animals are being made the scapegoats of biowarfare that includes population reduction.

Grey Hats and Fickle Fingers

Gone are the days when the good guys wore white hats and the bad guys black ones and the media were supposedly objective. Now they all wear hats of varying shades of murky grey, (or gray if you happen to spell colour as color). Yes, even "Al Qaeda" - a CIA creation - and "the Taliban" - some of whom sit in Karzai's government - in spite of all attempts to paint them with the blackest brush.

Now "Taliban insurgents" are cutting off fingers. And just to make sure you get it, Voice of America repeats it for you three times in one short article:

Taliban Reportedly Cut Off Fingers of 2 Voters

An Afghan election monitoring group says Taliban insurgents have made good on their threat to chop off ink-stained fingers of voters. Meanwhile, international observers are rendering a tentative verdict on the electoral process, calling Thursday's balloting generally positive and democratic.

Two voters in Afghanistan's Kandahar province, where there is a significant Taliban presence, had their ink-stained fingers chopped off by insurgents. The head of the country's Free and Fair Election Foundation, Nader Nadery, tells VOA his group's observers reported that the two men were attacked by the Taliban on Election Day.
It's the typical voice of America, alright - conflating all Afghans who are mad as hell about the presence of foreign invaders with the original so-called enemy "the Taliban" and demonizing them at every opportunity to justify continuing the occupation. Not to mention that Nader Nadery, the sole reporter of the finger incidents, got his masters in International Relations at George Washington University just last year, so you can pretty much figure out whose side he's on.

In a population estimated at 24 million, two people may or may not have lost a finger each, but this will no doubt be added to the list of mantras regurgitated by brainwashed supporters of the wars on Iraq and Afghanistan, right up there with "he gassed his own people"(a murky mystery indeed) and "we're helping girls to get an education".

Time magazine, in October 2004, called Nadery an Asian hero, making him out to be the "head" of the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission, when in fact he is only one of 9 Commissioners working under an executive director. Time quoted him as saying, "that life in Afghanistan is improving dramatically. "Women have more rights, and there's political freedom and expression ..."

There must be some differences of opinion among the commissioners of the AIHRC, since in May 2005 a letter was sent to the United Nations by Commissioner Dr. Sima Samar, signing as Chairperson, asking for a renewal of the mandate of the AIHRC, decrying "widespread violations" against both women and children, and expressing the hope that the UN would continue to monitor the situation.

Meanwhile, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan lauds the peacefulness of the election, while The Associated Press insists that an increase in violence (Video) caused a lower voter turnout.

Time (unwittingly?) admits the truth at the outset of its promotion of Nadery: "Foreign occupation is always awful for a country's human rights ...", but carefully does not include the current foreign occupation in its for-instances.

Judging from the pro-American speech given by Abdullah Abdullah - who, himself a warlord in a suit, is basically reviving the old tradition of one warlord against another - to the Council on Foreign Relations in 2002, he will make at least as good a puppet as Karzai, so I doubt the US has too many concerns about the outcome of this election.

Besides, Obama has made it clear that his goal is not to achieve "victory" in Afghanistan - pragmatic in that victory is mathematically impossible - or provide a better life for the Afghan people, but to "make sure they [Al Qaeda] can't attack the United States". This is the same fear tactic Bush used to keep Americans onboard with unending war. And Gordon Brown is using the same tactic in his efforts to shore up support in Britain, claiming that continuing the war will "make the UK more secure".

There's a chance it might make the pipeline more secure.

And now the Toronto Star has pitched in to make the Al Qaeda threat come alive in the person of Bin Laden's purported driver, recently released from Guantanamo and sent back to Yemen where there are reportedly lots of Bin Laden supporters. Not surprisingly, the Star obligingly shows only his legs in the photo, flanked by his two adoring, adorable little girls - to protect his identity and to prove he's a good guy since bad guys don't have pretty little daughters do they?

All of which gives the distinct impression "Salim Ahmed Hamdan" is yet another CIA undercover asset manufactured in Gitmo's spy factory.

I can't vouch for the total veracity of all the assertions, but it's worth adding to one's database.

Mystical Mysteries

My crystal ball is returning nothing but questions:

(1) Stock Gumshoe is predicting that the Bank of Montreal is about to crash, based on hints from a publication called Strategic Short Report. If that's the case, then all the banks are set to crash because all have loaned money to people who are now out of jobs. But wasn't the government bailout supposed to head this off? Stupid question?

=====

(2) Afghanistan's Dostum denies Karzai vote deal

What he means is that the deal has yet to be finalized because it depends on Karzai getting re-elected. I doubt he "staged a massive rally in support of Karzai the next day in his bastion of Shiberghan' without being assured of something in return for his efforts.

He's interested in a "security-related role". What he means is that he's good at thuggery and he's a long-time CIA asset.

"I want to sit with my American friends and make a plan so that within two or three years, we will secure all of Afghanistan."

He denied blame for one of the main allegations of human rights abuse to which he is linked -- the reported deaths of hundreds of Taliban prisoners his forces captured after they helped the United States defeat the militants in 2001.
My, my ... does this mean dear, sweet Obaaaama will be authorizing more war crimes?


(The sheep idea came as the signature in an email from a reader in Europe. I like it.)

I asked my crystal ball for the hundreth time: "Is it change yet?". "Are you nuts?" it replied.

=====

(3) The U.S. subsidiary of a British drug company is signing up volunteers for clinical trials of its swine flu vaccine
MedImmune plans to run two U.S. vaccine trials simultaneously, one on children ages 3 to 17 and another for adults 18-49, Washington Business Journal reported Wednesday.
Can you believe there are parents in the US, or anywhere, who would allow their kids to be used as guinea pigs? Don't tell me, they're destitute and they've been offered money or perks? Or are they petty criminals who've been offered dropped charges? I mean, what does it take to make a parent throw a child to the wolves like that?

=====

The newish editor-in-chief, Paul C. Hebert, of the Canadian Medical Assocation Journal is saying that Canada needs 'health czar' with powers to co-ordinate response to H1N1
"Let's say Province A, B and C don't do what they're supposed to. ... who can force them to do it? Well, no one," he explained.
Considering that the so-called Swine Flu is a genocidal fabrication, you gotta wonder who this guy works for. Hebert wants the provinces "forced" instead of seeking their cooperation. No doubt the provincial leaders will be overjoyed to hear that.

Is it worth noting that Hebert got his job at the CMAJ when the previous editor got fired for attemping to protect women's personal privacy?

=====

(4) US senator says Myanmar's Suu Kyi may not oppose lifting of some sanctions against junta

Aha! Are we getting closer to the reason that the junta so obligingly released the CIA asset John William Yettaw? I mean, think about it, would a senator go all the way to a foreign country to pick up an ordinary whacko celebrity stalker?

=====

(5) Canada flies NATO flag in arctic showdown
Canadian officials warned Moscow they would counter any Russian incursions with superior -- albeit American -- air power.
This final mystical mystery question comes not from my crystal ball but from John in Manitoba, who asks:
"Are we defining our own territory, or are we passing Canadian sovereignty to outsiders?"

Trust Issues

(1) Further to yesterday's post: "Genocide and the Jab" (please check out the comments on that entry because they contain information on organizations supporting vaccination freedom):

From Mareta in Spain:

Speaking of pandemics - I have a theory .... (as usual)

The swine flu pandemic will resurge but I don't think it will have much killing power. This bug is the tester. They want to create enough panic that there will be some need to fire up the FEMA camps - but not too much. They want people to get used to and most importantly to TRUST the system.

They want lots of frightened people to tell the press afterwards how well- treated they were and how if it weren't for FEMA THEY WOULD BE DEAD!!!

It is possible that the vaccine itself is a harmless placebo. Some sources suggest that it contains both thimersal and squalene but perhaps it has neither - who knows.

They want the public to poopoo the nay-sayers once and for all and the best way to do it is to have lots of people be vaccinated without negative consequences, experience the FEMA camps and to talk about how there is nothing to fear and that the government is there to help and protect its citizens.

I figure there will be another pandemic some time after that and if they can manage it, it will be a little more virulent.

I figure, since these people seem to be basically pagan that the real killer pandemics (that is if all the test runs go well and it seems they can reliably control the bugs) will start in 2012* and I think there will be lots, of many varieties and in rapid sucession.

I think this is what they would like.

If I were part of the elite and I wanted to get rid of people I'd invest the time, money and effort in encouraging them to trust the system first. Heck, the cattle industry has poured millions of dollars into making the path from truck to slaughter more acceptable for the cattle - they build huge swirling tracks with tall walls and the cattle naturally unload from the trucks and happily go running down the track together. I would want people to be [that] calm, trusting and co-operative.

Kind of gross to talk about, I guess.

We'll see if mother nature doesn't surprise them along the way, somehow.
Interesting slant. They pump up the image of a non-existent pandemic and then they come up with a fake antidote to convince people that vaccines prevented a serious outbreak. And later on, as more and more people see vaccines as the safety net, the rub-outs (the "end of the world") can begin in earnest.

Massive non-compliance with the vaccine program would be a good test of that. If government can use us as lab rats, we can do the same right back.

* New Age Significance of 2012

=====

(2) Ever since writing about secession I've been receiving periodic emails from the Atlantica Party in Nova Scotia. Today's was interesting and you can access it at their blog:

A large majority Nova Scotians do not support government
Since four out of ten Nova Scotians shunned the electoral system the government can only claim the active support of about one in four (26.4%) voters. Said another way a majority of Nova Scotians, three out of four, do not support the current government. And this is based on listed voters, typically there are an additional 5% to 15% of voters who are not registered so active support is even lower.
This is not uncommon - even federally. The so-called Conservatives (Reform Party (religious right) in disguise) have been unable to form a majority government in Canada. And the Liberals are not likely to fare much better if there is an election this fall. Overall voter turnout was lower in 2008 than in 2006, and Harper's party was re-elected but with fewer votes - only 38% of the 64% of eligible voters who bothered to turn out, which means their popularity is extremely low (less than a quarter of the known eligible voters), as is that of all the other parties.

George W. Bush retained office in 2004 on the strength of little more than 30% of the known eligible voters - only 60.7% of registered voters reportedly turned out to vote and he got 50.7% of those votes. That figure would likely be much lower if we knew how many people didn't even bother to register, and how many votes would have gone to Kerry if there were not so many irregularities.

It seems safe to say that lack of trust in government is universal across North America, and for good reason.

Genocide and the Jab

Yesterday I posted these three links provided by Mareta in Spain:

LikeLeakVideo: Merk drug company vaccines admits injecting cancer viruses

Video: In Lies We Trust: The CIA, Hollywood and Bioterrorism"

Video: US Mandatory Vaccination

Since then, both Mareta and John in Manitoba have done some more sleuthing on the subject of vaccines, saving me a lot of research work for which I thank them, and below are their results.

First: As a corollary to the Video entitled "US Mandatory Vaccination" (above) here's a YouTube item, in two parts, that presents, in audio only, a conversation between an American and a state health department lawyer on the power of the state and federal government to enforce vaccination:

PHONE CALL PROOF MANDATORY VACCINATIONS USA
Part 1 Part 2

From Mareta:

This is a copy of Jacobson v Massachusetts that the caller refers to, and here's a summary. Jacobson did not get the vacc but he had to a pay a fine of $5 (back in 1905).

The document also says that people who refuse the vacc cannot be forcibly confined if they can show that they are willing to confine themselves to their home and will have proper care.

Sounds like, "if you can pay not to, you don't got to."
Canada always copycats the US eventually, so I can feel my survivalist mode kicking in. I will stock up on groceries and lie low when the call comes to get jabbed, and I don't intend to pay any fine. I've been reading Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" and am encouraged to learn that he found a jail cell a nice place in which to meditate. (Although, a FEMA-type camp might be more crowded less conducive to quiet contemplation.)

The question that looms, in view of the plethora of Malthusians in government, is this - besides being a massive financial boon to Big Pharm, have vaccines morphed into a depopulation scheme? That's a legitimate question in view of the controversy surrounding the AIDS virus, for instance, which by now you're aware of if you watched the first three films above. Hitler himself would have danced a jig to see that, for the most part, only homosexuals, non-Aryans, and defectives (haemophiliacs) are being felled by AIDS.

You never hear the term "pandemic" in relation to AIDS - the milder word "epidemic" is used - yet it has so far disastrously affected far, far more people world wide than the Swine flu virus has, or may yet. And it's chilling to note that gay men were offered the hepatitis vaccine prior to the AIDS outbreak to "protect" them from certain aspects of their lifestyle. Here is plenty of literature on that.

And what's the first thing we do when we go do-gooding in places like Africa? We vaccinate the children! Still ringing in my head after over half a decade, is the well-meaning testimony of a Canadian nurse at a panel meeting of anti-war activists prior to the war on Iraq in which she said that Iraq already had enough troubles with lingering depleted uranium and brutal sanctions, and that she and others had done what they could to help out by making sure that as many Iraqi children as possible received the Polio vaccine.

From John:

Have you noticed how we are being conditioned to the idea of "virus mutation". In Nigeria the polio vaccine applied locally has caused an increased rate of polio in the affected population.

The reason given is mutation of the virus. There is no talk about a possibility that the vaccine might be the cause of the problem.

A few weeks ago in Quebec somebody was treated with Tamiflu against the N1H1 virus. According to the press, the treatment did not work due to mutation of the virus. Not a single word about the possibility that Tamiflu might not work against the Flu bug ...

C.P: US swine flu patients on immunosuppressant drugs develop Tamiflu resistance

NewScientist: Tamiflu resistance emerges in flu pandemic

ScientificAmerican: Widespread Tamiflu resistance sparks new look at pandemic flu drug stockpile
Have the viruses mutated, or is mutation a cover for the hidden, genocidal purposes of vaccines?

Clearly, in the case of flu viruses, it's more profitable to remove what was perceived as a safety net (Tamiflu) so that people will be frightened enough to line up for multiple "preventive" flu jabs - since no one jab covers all flu types. But no matter how many flu jabs you receive, there will still be flu strains not covered by them and against which you will have a weaker defence since your overall immune system will be impaired by so many vaccines. In the past only the aged and infants were targeted - the two most burgeoning segments of the population, but now it's young people of child bearing age as well. It's win, win for Big Pharm and a potential disaster for anyone with a less-than-robust constitution.

The adage "Prevention is worth a pound of cure" was never intended to be a stock market quotation.

Now health care systems are in the process of being "cost effectively" modified, both in Canada and the US, to allow for a two-tiered system, both private and public. While there are gobs of money to be wasted on wars, health care (and education) are reduced to bargain basement status.

Obama's proposed plan cuts out certain services for the elderly (Video), for instance, and is moving toward replacing care for the obese with a subtle enforcement of (genetically modified?) "healthy" foods.

From Mareta:
Recommended Community Strategies and Measurements to Prevent Obesity in the United States

The report claims to want to encourage businesses in communites to stock more "healthy" food choices and less junk. There are indications that junk food will be taxed making "healthy" choices more economical.

On the surface, it sound nice, only, how does one define "healthy"? The term "healthy" will be determined by the government who is acting as salesman for Monsanto and friends.

I think this strategy to prevent obesity is a simply a convenient way to introduce the public to GM foods and lab-grown proteins and nutrients that will be advertised as "healthy" for the individual and the planet.

(We all know that grass-fed beef farts up too much methane - better to eat lab-grown proteins that can be made to be more "nutritious" than beef)

Americans will be happily munching human kibble before we know it.
That last line is another example of the synchronicity I've been experiencing since I started blogging. Mareta probably means kibble for humans, but I read it as kibble made out of humans, having a week or so ago stumbled across and watched the classic Hollywood movie "Soylent Green" for the first time. The complete movie is here if you're interested. It doesn't seem all that far-fetched now.

Mareta asks:
Is Canada heading towards a revamped health system similar to the US?

Recession making us sick
"...the federal government needs to focus more attention on health care."

Shudder.
And then there's Codex Alimentarius, which ensures that health foods and natural remedies are criminalized (Video). If you use such natural products as baking soda to brush your teeth, lemon juice as a mouthwash, apple cider vinegar as an anti-oxidant, green tea as both an anti-oxidant and allergy reducer, or peppermint extract as antiseptic, insect bite reliever and treatment for digestive upset, be aware that you are committing a sin against Big Pharm.

I am successfully using all of those natural methods and more, and am ready to go to jail for it. I think I might consult a doctor if my arm were cut off and needed to be sewed back on, because even I would be able to see what should be connected to what. But for anything internal, any "diagnosis" as the result of "tests", any "preventive" vaccine or medication - I intend to keep avoiding the medical profession like the plague. At my age, I'd rather die than get caught up in that system again.

I have my own health plan, called "YayaCanada's pre-emptive health care".

The enforcers won't come after me, because they believe so strongly in their own mystique that they will see me as a goner without their expensive intervention. Hallelujah and Amen.

Different Faces of Justice

(1) Burma - Unnatural justice

Imprisoned American citizen released by Myanmar

American citizen John William Yettaw, who was recently sentenced by a Myanmar district court to serve seven years' rigorous imprisonment, was released and deported by the government Sunday and left the country in the afternoon along with Democrat Senator of the United States Jim Webb who concluded his three-day visit to Myanmar.
John William Yettaw is a CIA asset, plain and simple, who provided updates to Aung San Suu Kyi each time he visited. This is just another case, like North Korea recently ("journalists" who worked for Al Gore whose TV station wouldn't talk about the case), and Iran earlier, of a pragmatic exchange of operatives with only half of the story being reported, if that.

It's much easier to drum up sympathy for an operative who is female, pretty and somewhat frail in appearance. We are often reminded of Suu Kyi's beauty and her reportedly frail health. Yettaw, on the other hand, had to be made to appear mentally unbalanced and/or epileptic in order to soften attitudes.

Is it any wonder that foreign countries are suspicious of pretty female visitors?

How imprisoned could Suu Kyi possibly have been if Yettaw was able to get into her compound on two separate occasions? Where were the guards? And if Yettaw could get in why couldn't Suu Kyi get out? Why is it we hear nothing of any discipline measures for those who were supposed to be guarding her? And why do we not see that question in the media?

One should at least consider the possibility that Suu Kyi couldn't get out because her job is to stay there and wait for the coup. Now she been given more of the same kind of house arrest - in relative luxury compared to most Burmese, and able to receive expensive gifts and foreign visitors - because the junta knows she is a British asset, knows that the West has never given up hope of effecting a regime change (in fact may well have backed the uprising of the monks, perhaps capitalizing on the anger of the people over a rise in gasoline prices).

Sorry, but I'm just not gullible enough to believe that Suu Kyi returned to Burma solely to nurse her ailing mother. She returned at exactly the auspicious moment for her family's potential reclamation of its earlier power, which might not have received western support at all had the junta been friendlier to the West than it was to China - you know, like Thailand is with its sweat shops and its British and American Chambers of Commerce, a so-called constitutional monarchy that perpetually staggers under never-ending political turmoil involving one regime change after another, often in the form of military coups.

And then of course there's the coup in Honduras (thanks to John for the link) enforced by military might about which the media are virtually silent and Canada's government is tacitly supportive. Come on, how much more evidence do we need that the West doesn't care about justice for anybody's people including its own; it cares only about exploiting natural resources under the guise of spreading democracy.

John's comment: Does anybody get the impression that Harper and company have no idea what Democracy really is. For them it seems to be, follow the Obama lead, "pet dog" maybe.

Democracy now means only the right to vote for the best of a bad lot, and not knowing whether or not your vote was even recorded. A Burmese woman sort of puts things into perspective:
"We would like to have democracy, but the most important thing for us is to have peace, and enough food on our plates." Burmese woman talking to BBC journalist
=====

(2) The Media - Natural Justice

There is such as thing as natural justice. One just has to know how to survive the dark periods, keeping one's eye on the light at the end of the tunnel, and knowing that what goes around always comes around.

Thanks to Greg Felton who writes on the inevitable fate of the controlled media: Natural selection applies to modern dinosaurs, too

And thanks to Ron for this link to a letter from a reader of the Montreal Mirror (scroll to the section headed "Re Re-explaining Israel") written in response to an earlier letter from one "Barry Merson" which was mistakenly intended as the last word on an editorial about Israeli settlers.

Merson, so fixated on his conditioned view of history that he is blinkered to current facts on the ground, had asserted, amidst standard Zionist mantras, that there is no such animal as "settlers in the occupied territories", there are only settlers in "Eretz Yisroel" (hard not to read that as "ersatz"), which of course includes what Israel claims are the "disputed" territories, and the realists call the "occupied".

Oddly enough, it's Merson who offers the true indication of justice on the horizon, because in his rebuttal to his Jewish detractors he opens with: "This is becoming routine ..."

Imagine that. It's becoming routine that Zionist rhetoric is unable to bask in the assent of Jewish silence. Another spark of light at the end of the tunnel.

Too logical?

Two formerly significant men in my life made what they thought were accurate assessments of my character - one insisted I was too irrational, and the other that I was too logical. That's how I learned not to give too much credence to either criticism or praise. (I'm the only one in the whole world who knows me, if anybody at all does.)

Which has come in handy since I've been blogging, particularly where the subject of Israel is concerned, since I am subjected to vicious name calling from the extremes on both sides of the issue, and often quite elaborate praise from those who see me as useful.

The truth about me is just that I can't help seeing all sides of an issue, and I try not to publicly express an opinion until I've waded through the smokescreens. Consequently, while I have come to see religion, for instance, as a dangerous impediment to free thought, I see no reason to single out any one religion as more evil than another, hence the appearance I might sometimes give of being an apologist for the enemy du jour - Islam. Were this pre-WWII, I would be seen as an apologist for Judaism - or, what some people would consider an insult: a "Jew-lover".

From a long life-time of observation, I've concluded that cultural, religious and racial differences are superficialities, divisive only if taken too seriously, and underneath all of these are fallible human beings, some too "good" to be believed, some mostly "good", some so-so, and some in varying degrees of "bad" - most of whom tend to project outward their inner conflict about their place in a world of seeming diversity.

Sadly, all three major religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, leave the scriptural interpretation door wide-enough open to extract justification for the extremely "good" to kill with misplaced do-gooding, and the so-so to turn a blind eye to the evils being done by the extremely "bad" in the name of an unseen, distant, and anthropomorphic male god who possesses all of the wildly conflicting qualities of a loving, forgiving, protective, jealous, vengeful, vicious, murderous, suicidal, thoroughly warped and psychopathic human creature.

So when somebody like Michael Devolin of B'nai Elim tries to prove that Islam itself is responsible for the death of a child at the hands of her deranged father, it's just too easy to find an opposite example - that of religious Jews trying to prove that secularism was the cause of a similar type of murder committed by a mentally ill Israeli Jew (see comments at the foot of this article).

Devolin, in several emails, has made it clear that he is very upset with me for having posted his own words on my blog, submitted by a reader. But I never replied to any of his emails, nor did I post them here, mainly because they were little more than the usual name-calling and that's just too boring.

Michael Devolin doesn't seem to realize I'm just an old lady blogger entitled to her opinions, and not anybody with the power to destroy his ego. Michael Coren didn't realize that either when he wrote once that smokers should be denied public health care and I reminded him that he was very overweight and suggested that by his logic he too should be denied healthcare. Unlike Devolin, however, who challenges me to a forum debate to prove he is smarter than I, Coren challenged me to a squash game to prove he was fitter than I - that is, fitter than a mere woman half his weight and 20 years his senior.

Well, just to demonstrate that I'm not a censor of differing ideas but merely find unsubstantiated assertions and gratuitous invective useless, here's the latest from Devolin:

Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2009 00:43:39 -0400
From: Michael Devolin
Subject: censor

I'll debate you online, in an open forum, any time you like. Just name the website. I will kick your ass.

You're nothing more than an unctuous sophist, and calumny is the height and breadth of your intellect. Which is no intellect at all. You're [sic] excoriation of others is what one wise man appellated [sic] as an "eminence front".

Michael Devolin, B'nai Elim Canada
Ooh, "Eminence Front" - that's a tune by the WHO isn't it?

At first I thought, wow, such bravery to challenge a formidable woman like me to a debate, and such an insightful assessment of the acuity of a mere blogger. He'll hate me for this, I know, but I couldn't help being reminded of Muhammad Ali, dancing, shadow boxing, thumbing his nose and reciting over and over: "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee".

Imagine Michael Devolin of "B'nai Elim Canada" needing me, a relative nobody, to learn the hard way that he dah champ.

At first I almost succumbed to feeling oddly flattered, but that flimsy balloon burst wide open when I observed in reading only two of his articles that this apparently is his entire lexicon when challenging his inferiors: (1) "unctuous" and (2) "excoriate" "calumny" and "sophist"

The problem I find with extremists is that they're constantly pushing for a foot in the door. They do everything they can to get you to react, thereby providing them an opportunity to spew more and greater rote invective. Well, the above is Michael D's foot in the door, and now I'm closing the door on his foot, because if I were susceptible to flattery I'd be deeply disappointed that his insults weren't mine alone to cherish.

Former child soldier fights to stay in Saskatoon

YYC: The man's been here for two years and done nothing wrong. What's the big deal about letting him stay, especially when Canada - for no altruistic reason, but simply because it's US policy to only support military juntas that benefit US interests - acknowledges the criminal paucity of human rights observance in Burma?

It would be logical to expect to see some serious activism on this matter. It's certainly a much easier situation to assess than the Khadr family who openly support the myth of Bin Laden and Al Qaeda and whose member Omar Khadr, now an adult and quite probably a brainwashed CIA asset, has recently become a cause celebre.

Not incidentally, Omar Khadr was much closer to 16 than 15 (do the math) when he was captured, much closer to the age at which many youths lost their lives in the first and second world wars because recruiters desperate to increase military numbers deliberately turned a blind eye to volunteers who lied about their age.

Canada has no corner on morality where child soldiers are concerned, and we will see evidence of that if the world ends up in the conflagration currently in danger of being triggered. Don't get me wrong; this does not excuse Omar's father for dragging his son into his own life choice.

Also, please don't imagine that I don't consider it a tragedy that Khadr should ever have been in Guantanamo - anymore than should anyone else have been. Nor would I ever argue against his release or being allowed back in Canada. I just can't see returning him to a family that works for the CIA, and I can't see him not needing a serious deprogramming.

A job well done ...

... if I do say so myself

In a Google search related to the Israel boycott I came across a website called Smart Canucks which is primarily designed to keep gullible Canadians focused on shopping while their country staggers under corporate rule.

In the forum, there was a question about the quality of Belle Garnier hair colour. Well, I couldn't let that pass, so I signed up and posted a reply which went pretty much like this:

Belle Garnier is an excellent product, however you might consider whether you want to use a product made by a company that has a factory in an illegal settlement on Palestinian territory.
I figured my post might be deleted, so I check there today, and not only was it deleted but I was met with this message when I attempted to log in:

Boy are my feelings hurt. I hardly ever post anywhere and they call me a "spammer". I guess they knew better than to use the anti-u-no-wut term, since they can't deny that L'Oreal, the creator of Belle Garnier products, is proud of its mutually profitable association with Israel,
