Questions Galore

(1) CIA linked to Bhutto's Assassination?

It hardly requires a question mark, but here's the YouTube Video. And here's a collection of news reports and my own thoughts about them compiled at the time of Bhutto's death.

You may draw your own conclusions, but I have never had any doubt she was rubbed out by "intelligence" because she had begun to depart from the course set for her by Washington. Her weasel of a husband, however, was more amenable to suggestion given his already corrupt background.

=========================

(2) Attempted Genocide?

A funeral was held Monday at the Yellow Quill First Nation for a 25-year-old woman who died of the H1N1 swine flu.

Get this: They checked Bluebell over at the hospital and sent her home - right back into her community. I mean, either they're testing for pig flu or they're not. Or they're just testing certain people. Or else something else.

Well, they say she had picked it up in Saskatchewan, eh? Now, if she had been to Iran "the authorities" might have been more vigilant. (Or, more likely, if she hadn't been aboriginal.)

Wow, out of millions of Iranians, 200 are suspected of maybe having a variant of H1N1. Only one has tested positive, and she had just been to the States! Yes, it's all very confusing, but let's bomb them anyway, you know, just in case.

The WHO says that the pharmers need more "incentives" to produce enough vaccines. Neat. First they try to create a panic; then they warn of vaccine shortages to create even more panic. And this is how they increase public acceptance of exclusive patents for big pharm that will no doubt extend the great fundie capitalism theory (that everything should be owned by somebody) to include your very soul. It's easy to see who the WHO works for - a little red-suited fellow with horns, hoofs and a tail.

But for whom do those so-called medical professionals work who sent poor Bluebell home to suffer and die and presumably infect her community?

=========================

(3) Do Afghans like having a bigger war?

YouTube Video: Aljazeera on the extended operation in Afghanistan

Among others on the panel there is an Afghan prince who moonlights as a political analyst. He says, "I'm a prince, so I should know what the people want." That's pretty funny, but he does say something interesting: that he told the British he could get 2000 fighters on their side against the Taliban, and the British refused his offer. Might be he asked for too much money and privilege, or could be that the British had reason not to trust him, or could be that the NGOs raking in "reconstruction" and "security" dough aren't yet sated enough to allow solutions. Which could also be why Gordo Brown is going on about how the Afghan war is making Britain safe - as I mentioned in my Comic Relief section yesterday.

=========================

(4) Chretien - too tight with the royals?

After five decades of friendship, the Queen appoints Jean Chrétien to Canada's highest civilian honour

It's a chunk of metal and a piece of paper. But if you're brainwashed to value artificial status, it's like diamonds. And it shows Chretien was a very good bad boy. He deluded anti-war activists into thinking Canada didn't help out with the Iraq war, and he mired us in Afghanistan. I'm sure Libby lubs him gobs.

=========================

(5) What's Palin up to?

She certainly has big dreams:

The former Republican vice presidential nominee said she plans to write a book, campaign for political candidates from coast to coast — even Democrats who share her views on limited government, national defense and energy independence — and build a right-of-center coalition.

Sounds almost as if she resigned because she had a better job offer. But wait, here's what she reportedly told the Washington Times:

"Let me peek out there and see if there's an open door somewhere. And if there's even a little crack of light, I'll hope to plow through it."

Does that sound like she was made any offers? I'm still guessing she was forced to resign under threat of exposure and she's trying to put an optimistic spin on her situation. At the very least, the rumours about her fake pregnancy may have come home to roost uncomfortably in Alaska.

=========================

(6) Israel punished for Gaza?

Now that does require a question mark.

Thanks to Ron for the link:

The British Government has reacted to Israel's bombardment and invasion of Gaza last January by barring further exports of components used in naval gunships which took part in the three-week operation.

It's not really much of a punishment since no doubt Israel has other sources, but it does perhaps indicate that the British government is insecure enough at this point to feel the pressure of anti-Apartheid protest throughout the whole (forcibly) United Kingdom.

Cooke and Cruick

In case you've been wondering why the right turn at the Toronto Star, here's a history of the relationship between the current editor Michael Crooke and publisher John Cruickshank.

These two were mentored by a jailbird.

Excerpt:

In 2000, Radler took Cruickshank and Cooke to the Chicago Sun-Times, which became immersed in a major circulation scandal that tarnished Radler’s reputation.

Radler later pleaded guilty to defrauding shareholders and was sentenced to 29 months in prison. Cruickshank became the publisher and continued working alongside Cooke.

Now, they will be back together again at the Toronto Star. If history provides any lessons, then the staff had better start brushing up on the research of right-wing think tanks like the Fraser Institute. Because these two guys have a history of wanting it to appear in their newspapers.

When two people put their heads together to cause something to happen, isn't that a conspiracy? Is it ethical to turn a news publication into a propaganda machine?

This will help you brush up a bit on the Fraser crew calling themselves an Institute.

Thanks to Beesting for this link - another blogger sounds off at the Star for trying to eat alive one of its best columnists, Antonia Zerbisias. Cooke and Cruick come across as types who would throw their own children to the wolves to protect whatever hiney they think they have to kiss.

Excerpt:

Good lord, Star editor and your pompous publisher Cruikshank too, who previously trashed Heather Mallick at CBC for her piece on Sarah Palin, how stupid do you want to look?

Comic relief

(1) Afghan war effort keeps Britain's streets safe: Brown

Sure, Gordo. That's why our future is dying in Afghanistan. To keep Britain safe. And oh yes, the pipeline.

(2) Granny cop beater granted discharge

An 82-year-old grandmother who whacked an Edmonton police officer with her cane was found guilty of assault with a weapon and assaulting a peace officer yesterday.

However, the disabled Enoch senior was granted an absolute discharge and will not get a criminal record.

Having witnessed how the police love any chance to club a non-violent protester, my unabashed response is, "Now you know what it feels like."

I'm torn between wanting to stay strong until I die and enjoying the many uses of a cane. Maybe I can have both. Mostly, I'd use mine to whack vehicles that watch out for other vehicles but not for pedestrians. But if I get to the point where I can plead lost marbles, I might be tempted to whack a cop or two just for fun. I wonder if they have tasers disguised as canes - now that would be justice!

Queer goings on ...

As I mentioned before (Item #6 on this page), Antonia Zerbisias (Columnist and Blogger at the Toronto Star) has been getting a rough time from Bernie Farber who represents the Canadian Jewish Congress (which not incidentally is seen less and less as representing Jewish Canadians).

Zerbisias took it like a lady, but then Farber showed up at the recent Gay Pride parade in Toronto waving an Israeli flag to counter Queers against Israeli Apartheid. Well, it was her duty to report that and it was her right to say she didn't know Bernie was gay.

Farber should have had a good chuckle over her feigned bemusement, but instead he hastened to deny he was gay, "not that there's anything wrong with that". Ask Seinfeld.

Fine and dandy. Farber had his say. That could have been the end of it had the Star's Public Editor not felt called upon to publicly kiss Farber's hiney at the expense of one of her own colleagues. In doing so, she has made laughing stocks of both the Star and the CJC.

You gotta read this:

Gay Panic at the CJC and the Star

Let's hope the Star can redeem itself somehow so its columnists can take some pride in the organization they work for.

Below is my own letter to the Star. I hope you also will take the time to write a short note of support for Zerbisias. She's one of the few truth tellers left in the mainstream.

To the Editor,
The Toronto Star
Re: 'Gay' blog post was just not fair - July 11, 2009

"Just not fair." You hear that a lot when raising adolescents. And there's only one response to that: "Get used to it; life's not fair." Zerbisias' popularity obviously rankles, but there's a reason for it. She assumes her readers have mature levels of acuity.

Gay Pride is one huge multi-layered exercise in hilarious nuance and Zerbisias gets that. Too bad Farber couldn't foresee that he was making himself into entertainment by inserting himself into the parade, but he doesn't need the Star's public editor to put a bandaid on his imaginary boo-boo; he needs to stop throwing tantrums and shop for a sense of humour.

VACCINE HORROR From Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D.

... a new, more horrifying event is soon to take place that will potentially kill thousands and cripple tens of millions more ... a new vaccine has been created using an immune adjuvant called squaline, that has been shown to produce devastating neurological injuries in animals and has been strongly linked to the Gulf War syndrome and the 200% increase in the fatal disease ALS in soldiers receiving the anthrax vaccine.

(1) Wanted: New Lapdog

Here are all the videos that show Harper not putting the communion wafer in his mouth. The media are suggesting this is a scandalous insult to the dead Romeo LeBlanc and to the Catholic church.

I doubt the dead care at all, but what bemuses me is that a priest would willy-nilly hand out something so precious as a "rubrically correct"flattened mixture of wheat and water to a bunch of sleazy politicians without first taking their confessions and determining their worthiness.

Obviously, communion is not such a big deal to the church, so why should it be to the media? Gee, do you think they might have someone else in mind to be Prime Minister? If so, we're going to continue to be inundated with more Harper-and-crew slipups.

Harper was two minutes late for the summit photo (face it, he has a lot of primping to do what with the wig and the contact lenses and the girdle and all) - and oh boy he was wearing the wrong colour tie. If that's not humiliation enough, he's also been forced to apologize to Iggy, and now some of his crew are shown to be politically incorrect in their reported miff over a grant to Gay Pride.

But it's been pointed out that Gay Pride is a big money-maker, which means the gay lifestyle supports all lifestyles. Ain't that a kicker for the homophobes!

(2) Cash Cows

You know when the NWO de-pop programme gets going full bore, not only gays, aboriginals, and mental defectives will be targeted, but also the elderly. Yet the elderly contribute massively to the economy with their retirement funds, their guided tours, and the boom in condo construction, profit-making retirement homes, and nursing homes. Not to mention the massive boon to Big Pharm because of all the meds they are prescribed, and the Pampers, and the arch supports, and the elastic bandages, and the walkers, the canes ... the list is so endless their lives should be too.

Something to think about, eh?

Here's another cash cow - Global Warming. The guy who made the video "How it all ends" is now selling a DVD. Basically, he does it the same way Christianity is flogged. If there is no Hell after all, nobody loses. But if there is a Hell, the Christians win.

(3) False-flag Viruses

As early as last May the US military were practising computer hacking tactics.

A team of cadets spent four days struggling around the clock to establish a computer network and keep it operating while hackers from the National Security Agency in Maryland tried to infiltrate it with methods that an enemy might use. The N.S.A. made the cadets’ task more difficult by planting viruses on some of the equipment, just as real-world hackers have done on millions of computers around the world.

They wore camouflage suits, too, to prevent themselves being seen at their laptops. But they weren't quite sure what to hack. And besides, it was hard work.

But not to worry. They're developing a Hacking-for-Dummies device:

Move some sliders, push a button and you're in ...

The recent armed confrontations, such as the one in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Hamas or the earlier one between Russia and Georgia, were accompanied by Denial of Service and other types of attacks targeting governmental networks and servers that shocked the IT experts. It certainly did not take long for everyone to realize that this was the future of warfare and get the military to send its researchers looking for efficient ways to apply similar tactics.

Except ... who can they hack? There are laws governing hacking, aren't there?

From Security Focus: The United States could try out its much-hyped "cyberwarfare" capabilities in Iraq... but it would probably be illegal.

After a cursory glance at "Scapegoats for Dummies" - voila!

North Korea suspected in Web attack

No one will ever suspect the US military.

The Canadian military followed suit - and lo and behold, Alberta's medical records have been hacked into with a virus. Maybe N. Korea can be blamed for that as well, or China possibly.

It's not exactly a new kind of war; it's a new kind of false flag operation!

(4) Swine and their vaccines

Canada intends to include its aboriginal peoples in vaccinations against H1N1. Why? Well, because their living conditions make them susceptible:

Canada's aboriginal communities also appear to be getting more serious infections. Crowded, poorly ventilated housing and poor access to high-quality running water and sanitization are some of the factors being blamed. Aboriginals also have higher rates of asthma, chronic lung disease, obesity and diabetes — the very diseases early data suggests puts people at higher risk of life-threatening complications from swine flu.

Don't you have to wonder why our government is happy to spend zillions on vaccines when they could spend the money on improving living conditions for our First Nations?

(5) Bloodsuckers

The Great American Bubble Machine

Thanks to BeeSting for the link to this Rolling Stones expose of an animal called Goldman Sachs.

The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it's everywhere. The world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.

Vaccines, Autism, and oh yes, Israel again!

Here's an item John in Manitoba sent me a couple of weeks ago:

Inoculations: The True Weapons of Mass Destruction

The reason for the delay in posting it is that it contains a paragraph on which I needed to get some clarification from the parent of an autistic child:

Although the symptoms of mercury poisoning have been described as identical to the symptoms of autism, it should be noted that most children who descend into the hellish state known as autism do so after the MMR vaccine. The MMR vaccine is one of the few vaccines that do not contain mercury; in fact, it has NEVER contained mercury. Thus, it is self-evident that the removal of mercury will not make vaccines “safe”. (This is why the mercury is the only thing being addressed at all; because when the people reading this paper realize that the very mechanism by which vaccines corrupt the immune system means that NO vaccine is safe and effective; there will be an evolution of consciousness where the structure of lies telling us vaccines are safe and effective disintegrates.)

You see, I know a parent who chelated her second eldest son (who had been diagnosed as severely autistic) in order to see if removal of mercury would help him. The chelation did help - this boy now goes to a regular school, has playmates like other kids, and is making great strides in his communication skills. Things aren't perfect for him, but he's not lost inside himself anymore. So it's always been in my mind that mercury was the sole culprit in autism, and it was confusing to me that so many parents saw their children slip away from them after the MMR inoculation, which never contained mercury.

Here is clarification straight from the (anonymous) horse's mouth:

*****

Yes, I agree whole-heartedly that the vaccine debate has been reduced to a mercury issue. This makes it simpler to poopoo anyone who is concerned about vaccine safety - "What are you going on about- they took out mercury so vaccines are safe!" It's a great way to cut short any discussion about vaccine safety. In fact, I no longer participate in these discussion boards simply because people do not listen to anything beyond the mercury debate.

For my second eldest son R...., I think the bulk of his problem was with the mercury but I'll tell you, we also chelated piles of aluminum out of him (the favoured adjuvant before the more modern and more immunologically-destructive, squalene.) At the time I had no idea where the aluminum had come from. R.... never got the MMR but my eldest son J.... did and I will never forgive myself for that either. He really suffered - terrible weight loss (he was a little stick boy) his hair fell out, he threw up and suffered gastritis quite frequently in that era. I thought it was all my fault, that I wasn't looking after him properly. You can imagine, J.... chronically sick and R.... never stopped screaming and everyone around me telling me that this was normal for children.

I am grateful that we stopped vaccinating when we did - R.... could have been so much worse. I see those kids at the mall, sabotaged children all withered-up, staring at nothing, hands flopping uselessly about them, drooling - lost forever. And their parents, well-programmed by the authorities that whatever happened to their beautiful baby was an act of God (genetics) and they very dutifully chose not to have more. And I see them eyeing my kids and wondering why God did this to them and why I should be so lucky to have not just one but 4 beautiful children with a future and potential. I see it in their eyes. I am grateful but I am also filled with remorse.

The best way to keep the agenda going on track is to keep people busy with lots of paradigms over which to argue endlessly simply because there is no room for compromise. The issue of vaccine safety is not about mercury but about how vaccines are made and the mercury thingy stops everyone from thinking critically about the vaccine industry as a whole and so on it goes without interference.

*****

I read that there was going to be an official study done of chelation to see if it could win medical approval, but the study has been cancelled. Too risky, they say. But a blatant obfuscation is presented to explain away the effectiveness of alternative treatments:

Offit adds that very young children with mild symptoms of autism often get better on their own later in childhood, which may explain why many parents believe so strongly that alternative treatment work."There is a natural wax and wane with this disorder," he says. "Symptoms that seem very bad between the ages of 2 and 5 may get much better between the ages of 6 and 10."

They are ignoring the cases of severely autistic children who improve dramatically after chelation treatment.

Hard to say if they're afraid they won't be able to prove chelation ineffective and that what they will prove is that vaccines are dangerous, or if they've already been criticized for preliminary studies on rodents that don't appear to me to have taken into account the use of supplements to restore the good minerals removed along with the bad ones. Without those supplements, it is no wonder that some healthy rodents fell ill after being chelated.

The unwillingness to look seriously at the dangers of the proliferation of vaccines, along with the move to suppress the use of home remedies for all sorts of conditions, is not about protecting our precious children but about protecting profits for big pharm.

Thanks again to John:

The wonders of the modern controlled press

I am confused
Yes, very confused….
A convoy of Human Rights Workers was headed to Gaza to deliver much needed medical equipment, children’s toys and construction material. On board were a number of American citizens, including a former Congresswoman and Presidential candidate.

Uniformed pirates, members of the Israeli Navy, kidnapped these people and hauled them off to a prison in Israel. They were charged with being in Israel illegally.

OK….. that’s where the confusion sets in…. who dragged them off to Israel? They were in International waters with no intention of setting foot on Israeli soil.

By now, we all know the frustration felt by the little boy who saw clearly that the emperor was starkers yet nobody else seemed to notice. It's called hysterical blindness, and the media seem more and more affected by it.
