French scientists have revealed that rats fed on GMO corn sold by American firm Monsanto, suffered tumors and other complications including kidney and liver damage. When testing the firm’s top brand weed killer the rats showed similar symptoms.

The French government has asked its health and safety agency to assess the study and had also sent it to the European Union's food safety agency, Reuters reports.

"Based on the conclusion…, the government will ask the European authorities to take all necessary measures to protect human and animal health, measures that could go as far as an emergency suspension of imports of NK603 maize in the European Union," the French health, environment and farm ministries said in a joint statement.

Researchers from the University of Caen found that rats fed on a diet containing NK603 – a seed variety made tolerant to amounts of Monsanto's Roundup weedkiller – or given water mixed with the product, at levels permitted in the United States – died earlier than those on a standard diet.

The research conducted by Gilles-Eric Seralini and his colleagues, said the rats suffered mammary tumors, as well as severe liver and kidney damage. The study was published in the journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology and presented at a news conference in London.

Fifty percent of male and 70 percent of female rats died prematurely, compared with only 30 percent and 20 percent in the control group, said the researchers.

Monsanto spokesman, Thomas Helscher, said the company would review the study thoroughly but stated that other scientific studies had proved the biotech crops’ safety.

Some scientists however criticized the French researchers’ statistical methods and the use of a particular type of rat, saying the albino Sprague-Dawley strain of animal had a tendency to develop cancers.

But despite skepticism, the study draws attention to controversy surrounding genetically modified crops and the US biotech giant Monsanto.

Michael Antoniou, a molecular biologist at King’s College London – who acted as an adviser to Seralini's team – told reporters that the study stresses the “need to test all GMO crops in two-year lifelong studies”.

“I feel this data is strong enough to withdraw the marketing approval for this variety of GMO maize temporarily, until this study is followed up and repeated with larger number of animals to get the full statistical power that we want,” he said as quoted by Reuters.

Last Friday France said it will uphold a ban on genetically modified crops produced by the Monsanto. The move came as President Francois Hollande pushed his plan to put the environment back at the top of the international agenda.

In the wake of the publication, Jose Bove, vice-chairman of the European Parliament’s commission for agriculture, called for an immediate suspension of all EU cultivation and import authorizations of genetically modified crops.

“This study finally shows we are right and that it is urgent to quickly review all GMO evaluation processes,” he said following the announcement of the research.

While being widely used in the United States, GMO crops have been less popular among European consumers, due to concerns about its impact on people’s health and the environment.

In California, opponents of genetically engineered food are fighting to have it removed from the food supply. They are also pushing to pass Proposition 37, a law that would legally require genetically modified foods to be labeled as such. Monsanto stands opposed to such a proposal and has donated over $4.2 million to lobby against it.

Agriculturalists across America have previously tried to take the biotech giant to court over charges stemming from their lab-made corn GMOs. Over 2,000 farmers have petitioned the US government to more thoroughly investigate the impact that genetically modified corn crop from Monsanto will have on the country.

As RT reported before, Monsanto wants to plant a corn variant across America’s Midwest that will be resistant to a powerful pesticide produced with 2,4-D, the same compound crucial to the make-up of the notorious Vietnam War-era killer Agent Orange. If approved, the new corn will be able to thrive as farmers douse their fields in the chemical, killing off unwanted weeds in the process, while at the same time subjecting Americans to a pesticide linked to cancer risks.

Thrive is the name of a richly produced and controversial film that asks, and attempts to answer, some of the deepest questions about the nature of the human condition and what is thwarting our chances to prosper. Elaborately funded, with appealing imagery and beautiful music, it features interviews with many leading progressive voices. And yet ten of these leaders have taken the highly unusual step of signing a statement formally disassociating ourselves from the film.

Why have Amy Goodman, Deepak Chopra, Paul Hawken, Edgar Mitchell, Vandana Shiva, John Perkins, Elisabet Sahtouris, Duane Elgin and Adam Trombly, as well as yours truly, gone to the trouble of signing our names to this public statement?

“We are a group of people who were interviewed for and appear in the movie Thrive, and who hereby publicly disassociate ourselves from the film.



Thrive is a very different film from what we were led to expect when we agreed to be interviewed. We are dismayed that we were not given a chance to know its content until the time of its public release. We are equally dismayed that our participation is being used to give credibility to ideas and agendas that we see as dangerously misguided.

We stand by what each of us said when we were interviewed. But we have grave disagreements with some of the film’s content and feel the need to make this public statement to avoid the appearance that our presence in the film constitutes any kind of endorsement.”

I have joined the other signers of this statement, even though there are aspects of the film that I find beautiful and inspiring, and even though the makers of the film, Foster and Kimberly Gamble, are old friends.

In Thrive, the Gambles have attempted to address some of the crucial challenges of our times. I appreciate their idealism, their commitment, and their passion. And I agree with them about some things they state in the movie and on their website --- such as that the political system is depraved, the Federal Reserve has been used to consolidate economic power, fiat currency tends to produce a corrupt financial system that depends on ever increasing debt, the tax system is unfair, and enormously powerful economic interests often collude with one another to deceive and defraud the public. I stand with them as they promote the labeling of genetically engineered foods and in their desire to see our nation cease spending enormous sums on war. I appreciate that they support local and organic agriculture, their passion for credit unions and local banking, and their opposition to governmental invasion of privacy. They recommend many action steps that I support.

But I do not agree with some of the core conclusions they draw. Nor do the other signers of the statement of disassociation from Thrive. Duane Elgin, one of the signers, says: "Thrive is idealistic, naive, narrow, shallow, and focuses attention away from more productive areas of engagement."

At the very heart of the Thrive message is what it calls the Global Domination Agenda. This is the idea, as presented on the Thrive website in the words of former Congressman Larry McDonald:

“The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government... all under their control… Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent.”

Foster Gamble explains:

“A small group of families are actually controlling virtually every sector of human endeavor… Their agenda… (is) to take over the lives of all people across the entire planet… to collapse the economies throughout the European Union… to devalue the dollar to almost zero... and to create a one-world government, with them in charge.”

The Thrive movie and website also state that a small group of 300 or so people are developing and experimenting with plans to dramatically reduce the world’s human population, possibly to about 500 million people, to make us “easier to manage.”

Could this be true?

There is no doubt that staggering wealth and power is today concentrated in the hands of a tiny minority of humanity. The combined net worth of the world's richest thousand or so people -- the planet's billionaires -- is almost twice that of the poorest 2.5 billion. I believe this disparity to be nothing less than an indictment of our civilization.

It is also certain that networks exist among the most powerful that enable a remarkably few people to shape the world's economy, to determine what is known and what is not, which views are accepted and which are not, and what priorities and policies will prevail. More than most of us realize, they decide whether we will live in war or peace and how our treasure will be spent. And they have proven to be eminently successful at enriching themselves, often at the expense of the common good. Exposing the global power elite is tremendously important work. And this, Thrive purports to do.

But the Thrive movie and website are filled with dark and unsubstantiated assertions about secret and profoundly malevolent conspiracies that distract us from the real work at hand. The conspiracy theories at the heart of Thrive are based on an ultimate division between "us" and "them." "We" are many and well-meaning but victimized. "They," on the other hand, are a tiny, greedy and inconceivably powerful few who are masterfully organized, who are purposefully causing massive disasters in order to cull the population, and who are deliberately destroying the world economy in order to achieve total world domination.

This way of thinking has an allure, for it distracts and absolves us from the troubling truth that the real source of the problem is in all of us, and in the economic systems we have collectively produced. If the ills of the world are the deliberate intentions of malevolent beings, then we don’t have to take responsibility for our problems because they are being done to us. Thinking this way may provide the momentary comfort of feeling exonerated, but it is ultimately disempowering, because it undermines our desire to be accountable for the way our own thoughts and actions help to create the environmental degradation and vast social inequity of the world in which we live. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote, "The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either, but right through every human heart."

The Thrive film does not mention, or in some cases only hints at, many of the more extreme ideas that are prominent on the Thrive website, and which inform the Thrive worldview. The movie has lavish production values, and presents interviews with many leaders in the consciousness movement, all of which lend a beguiling aura of credibility. Foster Gamble himself comes across as soft, warm, and inquiring. Those who have only seen the film may not recognize the agenda and belief system that actually underlie Thrive.

For example, Foster Gamble has said that the Japanese earthquake that caused the tsunami that wreaked havoc on the nuclear plants in Fukushima was deliberately created. He has said that those seeking absolute world domination wanted to punish the Japanese for not acceding to their wishes. He has said that "they" have an electromagnetic array project in Alaska called HAARP that enables “them” to create earthquakes and tsunamis at will, anywhere on earth. The Thrive website also implies that the 2010 earthquake in Haiti was intentionally created by HAARP. These are extraordinary claims to make without some very credible substantiation. Yet Foster makes them with an utter lack of evidence. Although he has been a friend of mine for years, I must regrettably say that in my judgment, these are the assertions of someone who has lost grounding in reality.

Thrive also advances the idea that vaccinations have been purposefully created by the global elite to decimate the population. There is no doubt that vaccinations have troubling side effects. Some of them may be far more toxic than we know. But there’s a difference between a thoughtful dialogue about the dangers of a medical technology and the belief that vaccines are actually an expression of profoundly sinister intent.

It was a vaccine that enabled the elimination of smallpox, a scourge which was responsible for approximately 500 million human deaths in the 20th century. Thrive promotes the idea that the U.N. and world treaties are the work of evil-doers intent on total world domination. These institutions are far from perfect, but it was only through the concerted efforts of the global health community and the World Health Organization that smallpox, perhaps the killer of more humans than any other disease in world history, was eradicated. There is greed and deceit in the pharmaceutical industry that I find deplorable, but that does not condemn all vaccines.

There are many things that are terribly wrong in our world. All living creatures are poisoned and compromised by surging levels of human-made toxins that spew into our environment, relatively unchecked. We are experiencing unprecedented levels of heart disease, cancer, obesity and childhood diabetes. Our financial institutions and to a large extent our political system have been hijacked by greedy and at times even sociopathic individuals who seem to feel no sense of responsibility to the well being of the whole. The world’s military industrial complex is spending more money than ever on guns, bombs, and the machinery of unfathomable destructive power, while governments learn little about how to make peace and hundreds of millions of people go hungry.

But holding these tragedies as the intentional acts of a tiny group of families seeking not just extreme wealth but also total world domination via a global police state distracts us from the arduous work of confronting the true challenges before us.

For example, as an environmentalist I heed the monumental evidence that global warming may be one of the most serious threats faced by humanity and many of the other species on this planet. Those who have merely seen the movie would not know that Foster Gamble and the Thrive website strongly recommend a film (The Great Global Warming Swindle) which states that man-made global warming is a "lie" and "the biggest scam of modern times."

The Thrive website opens its climate change discussion with this question:

“How does the premise of man-made global warming relate to the banking elite’s effort to transcend national sovereignty, establish global governance and create a global tax to fund their dominance?”

The insinuation is that the idea of human-caused global warming is being fabricated as an excuse to create a global police state and a tax basis for tyranny. If this is true, just about every scientific expert in the world has been taken in by the hoax. A 2010 study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that 97 percent of scientific experts agree that it is…

“very likely that anthropogenic (human-caused) greenhouse gases have been responsible for the unequivocal warming of most of the Earth’s global temperature in the second half of the 20th century.”

It has been personally painful for me to witness friends of mine become caught up in seeing just about everything on earth as part of a vast demonic conspiracy. When I wrote Foster Gamble to voice my disappointment with many of the ideas in the film and website, he wrote back, encouraging me among other things to study the works of David Icke, Eustace Mullins, Stanley Monteith and G. Edward Griffin. These are among the people he repeatedly refers to in the movie as his “sources.”

I find this deeply disturbing. Here’s why…

David Icke, who has been called “one of the most extreme of all conspiracy theorists,” is not a small player in Thrive. In fact, he is featured more prominently in the movie than anyone other than Foster Gamble. An extended interview with him, intercut with supporting material, forms much of the middle section of the film.

Though this is not mentioned in Thrive, Icke is well-known for advocating utterly bizarre theories, including that the entire world is run by a secret group of reptilian humanoids who drink human blood and conduct satanic rituals. Forty-three U.S. Presidents, he says, have been such reptilian beings, and many of them, including Barack Obama and George W. Bush, have been part of global satanic pedophile rings that murder hundreds of thousands of children a year. I wish I was making this stuff up, but I’m not. This is what Icke teaches.

And I deeply regret to say that my old friend Foster Gamble seems to concur. As Foster wrote in a public forum:

“In our film, we do not go into his (Icke’s) research on reptilians, nor his immensely important investigations into global satanic pedophile rings, because it does not serve our film. That does not mean that revealing what is happening to hundreds of thousands of our most vulnerable every year should not be exposed and stopped.”

Unfortunately, Icke’s war on common sense goes much further. He says that the Global Elite's plan for world domination was laid bare in a document titled The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. This document is actually a notorious hoax, published in Russia around 1903. It supposedly presents a plan by the Jewish people to take over the world, and was a primary justification used by Adolph Hitler as he initiated the Holocaust. This fraudulent document was also used to justify the violent pogroms and massacres of the Jewish people in pre-Soviet Russia.

How anyone could take seriously a man who espouses such “information” is beyond me. But Thrive actually relies heavily on Icke’s “insights,” both in the movie and as a source of “data” for its website.

Another of Thrive’s primary sources, and another of the authors Foster Gamble told me I should read in order to better understand Thrive, is Eustace Mullins. I honestly find it difficult to convey the level of anti-semitism in Mullins’s books, without it seeming that I am exaggerating. So I will let Mullins’s own words speak for themselves:

“We must remember that there is no Jewish crime per se, since the existence of the Jewish parasite on the host is a crime against nature, because its existence imperils the health and life of the host...

This religious ceremony of drinking the blood of an innocent gentile child is basic to the Jew's entire concept of his existence as a parasite, living off the blood of the host...

The Jews do not want anyone to know what Nazism is. Nazism is simply this--a proposal that the German people rid themselves of the parasitic Jews. The gentile host dared to protest against the continued presence of the parasite, and attempted to throw it off.”

The title of one of Eustace Mullins’s books is: Hitler, An Appreciation. While Foster Gamble evidently believes that Mullins has shed valuable light on banking systems and other aspects of the “Global Domination Agenda,” I have no interest in looking to such individuals for insight into anything.

The Gambles state that they do not necessarily agree with all of the thoughts and beliefs of their sources, but rather that they have incorporated only those ideas they find useful and with which they agree. I’m sure the Gambles do not condone Mullins’ overt anti-semitism, but I find it disturbing that the thinking of these men has been used as the foundation for some of the key ideas presented in Thrive. While I do not believe the Gambles are themselves guilty of anti-semitism, I do believe they are naïve and gullible, and that in depending heavily on sources such as Icke and Mullins they have unwittingly allowed anti-semitism to become a subtext in their work.

Viewers of the movie may not realize that Gamble’s central thesis, that a handful of families control the world and plan to enslave humanity, mirrors an argument that Joseph Goebbels made in his notorious Nazi propaganda film The Eternal Jew: that a handful of banking families, many of them Jewish, run the world and seek global domination.

Two of the other sources that Foster Gamble recommended to me so that I might better understand Thrive are Stanley Monteith and G. Edward Griffin. Monteith, who happens to be a neighbor of mine, has long been involved with Pat Robertson’s Christian Coalition, and professes that the environmental movement is nothing but a front for the effort to create a global police state. Both Monteith and Griffin have long been officers of the John Birch Society, a far-right political organization that first came to public attention when one of its founders proclaimed that Dwight Eisenhower wasn’t the genial war hero and popular President he seemed, but rather “a conscious, dedicated agent of the international communist conspiracy.” Griffin, who is prominently featured as an expert and “Pioneer” on the Thrive website, played a key role in the third party candidacy of George Wallace when the overtly racist and vehemently segregationist Alabama Governor sought the U.S. Presidency.

These are only a few of the ultra-right wing sources whose ideas and agendas pervade Thrive. Many Americans first learned of the Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises when Michele Bachman, seeking the Republican nomination for the Presidency, said she read his books at the beach. Cited frequently and admiringly on the Thrive website, von Mises’s brand of laissez-faire capitalism is hard-core. In his eyes, nearly all government intervention in the economy is strictly verboten, and taxes are a crime against freedom.

Buoyed by lush visual effects and lovely words, the Thrive film has been attractive to many who long for a more just and beautiful world, and who know how often we are deceived and exploited by the powers that shouldn’t be. “In times of universal deceit,” wrote George Orwell, “telling the truth will be a revolutionary act.” But what is the revolution Thrive would bring? Foster Gamble says that Thrive is not political, but both the movie and website call for the end of taxation even for the rich. Thrive’s goal is a world in which public schools and all welfare programs, including social security, have been terminated. Instead of police, we have private security forces. As Foster Gamble puts it, “Private security works way better than the state.”

That may be true for the rich who can pay for it. But who, I might ask, would pay to protect low-income communities if all security was privatized?

Eventually there would be no government, and just about everything would be privately owned, including roads. “It’s clear that when you drive into a shopping center you are on a private road, and almost without exception it is in great shape,” explains the Thrive website.

I want to underscore that although I think the Gambles are promoting some dangerous ideas, I do not think either Foster or his wife Kimberly are sinister or malicious, which is why it has been a very painful process for me to write this critique. I have known them to be kind people who mean well, and I have long considered Kimberly in particular to be one of my closest friends. But I have found it necessary to speak out in this way, because some of the ideas at the heart of Thrive strike me as frightening and misguided, and they most certainly are not ones with which I want to be associated. I have spent decades exposing and seeking to undermine powerful industries whose ways of doing business are diametrically opposed to the public welfare. In my view, the deregulation of the economy, and the demolition of government programs that Thrive proposes, would take us even further in the direction of a winner-take-all economy in which wealth would concentrate even more in the hands of the financial elites.

As one of the signers, evolutionary biologist Elisabet Sahtouris, writes:

“Without community, we do not exist, and community is about creating relationships of mutual benefit. It does not just happen with flowers and rainbows, and no taxes.”

Each of us who have signed the statement disassociating ourselves from Thrive have dedicated our lives to creating and conveying positive visions of how to create a truly thriving, just and sustainable way of life. We have been part of vast movements toward generating a human presence on this planet that is spiritually fulfilling, socially just, and environmentally responsible. We do not want to see our names, reputations, and influence used to fuel unsubstantiated claims or misguided policies. We want to see them used to strengthen individuals and communities, and to serve the ability each of us possesses to live with respect for ourselves, for one another, and for the truth of our interdependence.

As another of the signers, Paul Hawken, writes:

“The world is riven by people who are convinced they are right, while others are wrong. Dualism permeates political, economic, cultural and religious conflict. It is the true source of suffering and the despoliation of the world. This wound cannot be healed by the us/them divisions that inform Thrive. Evil most certainly exists, but the core of evil is ignorance, and it cannot be repelled by righteousness or by making others wrong. It is only through compassion that we can create true transformation.”

We do not deny the evil in the world. It is here and it is real. But there is also hope here, and it too is real.

It is hope that believes we can build trust, build community, and build a better world. Such hope is not the blind belief in something which has little possibility of ever materializing. It is the hope which remains open to miracles while investing the sweat and perseverance to lend the Universe a hand in creating those miracles. It is the hope that is borne from knowing that it is far too late, and our situation far too serious, to indulge in the luxuries of pessimism, paranoia, and finger-pointing.

The state of the world is perilous. But it is not too late to love, not too late to dream, and not too late to believe in ourselves and each other.

In the end, we are all in this together. Each step you take to lessen the amount of fear in yourself and the world brings us closer to a world reflective of the beauty that exists -- sometimes buried and other times apparent -- in each of us. Every act you take that increases the amount of trust and compassion in your relationships helps us move from a world created by privilege to a world created by community.

As the poet Adrienne Rich wrote, “So much has been destroyed. I have cast my lot with those who, age after age, perversely, with no extraordinary power, reconstitute the world.”

The US Food and Drug Administration said: ‘We know of no information showing that the foods created from these new methods differ in any meaningful or uniform way.' It was a big lie, a statement of sheer insanity, and people like FDA/Monsanto double agent, Michael Taylor, knew it.

A lawsuit later brought to light 44,000 internal FDA documents which revealed that GMO can produce allergies, toxins, new diseases, antibiotic-resistant diseases, nutritional problems and cancer-causing agents. They also confirmed that scientists and experts at the FDA had said that GMO food was different from that produced normally and therefore had different risks. The effect on human health in GMO-soaked America has since proved catastrophic and potentially genocidal.

How come, then, that the FDA said publicly that there was no difference between non-GMO food and that produced with GMO, especially by Monsanto, which has led to the FDA not requiring independent safety checks on GMO products? One of the key people responsible for taking that line was Michael Taylor, the number two at the FDA, a former attorney to Monsanto and later a Monsanto Vice-President for Public Policy.

Taylor was also at the US Department of Agriculture between 1994 and 1996 and in his government roles he was highly influential in the decision not to insist that GMO had to be labelled which has denied the public the free choice to eat or not eat GMO food.

All this must have cost the lives of multiple millions of people and animals since then and caused suffering to untold numbers who have had their health devastated by GMO. It was also Taylor at the FDA who ensured that Monsanto’s genetically-engineered bovine growth hormone (rbGH/rbST) could be injected into cows to increase milk production without any labelling for people to make a choice.

He also wrote a paper saying that if producers of milk without the growth hormone labelled their milk as such they should be mandated to include a disclaimer from the FDA saying that there was no difference between milk with bovine growth hormone and milk without it.

Taylor has been described as possibly being responsible for 'more food-related illnesses and deaths than anyone in history'.

This man should be in jail with the key thrown mid-Atlantic, but where is he now? He was appointed by Obama to be his ‘food safety czar’ in charge of all United States food safety policy at the FDA and is now Senior 'Advisor' [yeah, right] to the Commissioner of the FDA. Taylor’s policy is Monsanto’s policy and there can be no greater confirmation that corporations control governments than Taylor's career with Monsanto and government agencies which are supposed to protect us from Monsanto.

This is why Big Biotech is getting virtually all that it wants from the FDA while organic farmers and growers and small farms in general are being destroyed by a mass of new and ludicrous laws on the grounds of 'food safety' imposed by FDA SWAT teams made up of monumental goons with guns in their hands and air in their heads.

Food fascism isn't coming - it's here.

I never thought I would be talking about genetically modified people outside of pitching some new science fiction movie to the predictive programming industry called Hollywood. Instead I find the government admitting to secret tests being conducted on soldiers in order to genetically modify their abilities. The agency in charge of this Island of doctor Moreau research just happens to be the same department responsible for making drones and surveillance robots that will be used to gather up dissidents during the coming conflagration.



Human Hunters?

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is an agency of the United States Department of Defense that receive over 2 billion dollars annually to conduct secret experimentation’s on soldiers and to create an Orwellian programmed robotic police force that will be used domestically as well as abroad. The manipulation of the human genome is perhaps the most disturbing demonstration of human arrogance this century has yet begun to exploit. DARPA has recently released some of the details to the genes they are manipulating and their expected expression and possible application. Here is a list of the current experimentation’s that have been conducted in secrecy on soldiers in the United States military or at least some of the recent confession from the military industrial pharmaceutical complex:
Do you want a soldier that can run faster than an Olympic Athlete?
Do you want a soldier that won’t need food or sleep for days?
Do you want a soldier that can regrow lost limbs?
Do you want a soldier that can out lift Olympic weightlifters?
Do you want a soldier that can communicate telepathically?


Genetically Modified Soldiers?

All of these manipulations to the human genome will eventually be pushed into the public sector to cash in on all the money that would be made from pills that will enhance your appearance and abilities. Just imagine how much revenue would be generated by a pill that could convert fat into energy or keep you awake for days on end with no need to worry about exercise or your dietary intake. Professor Joel Garreau of Arizona University confirmed that DARPA was experimenting with turning fat into energy. He recently disclosed this information to thedailymail stating, ‘Finding that metabolic switch would wipe out the £40billion diet industry in a heartbeat’. This is a covert way of saying it could create a monopoly that would destroy all its competitors which is the chosen model for the eugenicists natural selection propagandist. Gene therapy will be hitting the market in the next decade offering enhancements that at first will seem innocuous like changing the color of your eyes but in the end this blending of the human genome will only lead to mutations Mother Nature will create from our own arrogance.

St. Petersburg, Russia - China and Russia have decided to renounce the US dollar and resort to using their own currencies for bilateral trade, Premier Wen Jiabao and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin announced late on Tuesday.

Chinese experts said the move reflected closer relations between Beijing and Moscow and is not aimed at challenging the dollar, but to protect their domestic economies.

"About trade settlement, we have decided to use our own currencies," Putin said at a joint news conference with Wen in St. Petersburg.

The two countries were accustomed to using other currencies, especially the dollar, for bilateral trade. Since the financial crisis, however, high-ranking officials on both sides began to explore other possibilities.

The yuan has now started trading against the Russian rouble in the Chinese interbank market, while the renminbi will soon be allowed to trade against the rouble in Russia, Putin said.

"That has forged an important step in bilateral trade and it is a result of the consolidated financial systems of world countries," he said.

Putin made his remarks after a meeting with Wen. They also officiated at a signing ceremony for 12 documents, including energy cooperation.

The documents covered cooperation on aviation, railroad construction, customs, protecting intellectual property, culture and a joint communiqu. Details of the documents have yet to be released.

Putin said one of the pacts between the two countries is about the purchase of two nuclear reactors from Russia by China's Tianwan nuclear power plant, the most advanced nuclear power complex in China.

Putin has called for boosting sales of natural resources - Russia's main export - to China, but price has proven to be a sticking point.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin, who holds sway over Russia's energy sector, said following a meeting with Chinese representatives that Moscow and Beijing are unlikely to agree on the price of Russian gas supplies to China before the middle of next year.

Russia is looking for China to pay prices similar to those Russian gas giant Gazprom charges its European customers, but Beijing wants a discount. The two sides were about $100 per 1,000 cubic meters apart, according to Chinese officials last week.

Wen's trip follows Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's three-day visit to China in September, during which he and President Hu Jintao launched a cross-border pipeline linking the world's biggest energy producer with the largest energy consumer.

Wen said at the press conference that the partnership between Beijing and Moscow has "reached an unprecedented level" and pledged the two countries will "never become each other's enemy".

Over the past year, "our strategic cooperative partnership endured strenuous tests and reached an unprecedented level," Wen said, adding the two nations are now more confident and determined to defend their mutual interests.

"China will firmly follow the path of peaceful development and support the renaissance of Russia as a great power," he said.

"The modernization of China will not affect other countries' interests, while a solid and strong Sino-Russian relationship is in line with the fundamental interests of both countries."

Wen said Beijing is willing to boost cooperation with Moscow in Northeast Asia, Central Asia and the Asia-Pacific region, as well as in major international organizations and on mechanisms in pursuit of a "fair and reasonable new order" in international politics and the economy.

Sun Zhuangzhi, a senior researcher in Central Asian studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said the new mode of trade settlement between China and Russia follows a global trend after the financial crisis exposed the faults of a dollar-dominated world financial system.

Pang Zhongying, who specializes in international politics at Renmin University of China, said the proposal is not challenging the dollar, but aimed at avoiding the risks the dollar represents.

Wen arrived in the northern Russian city on Monday evening for a regular meeting between Chinese and Russian heads of government.

He left St. Petersburg for Moscow late on Tuesday and is set to meet with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Wednesday.

I can’t pound away enough about this subject, and I hope you are sounding off too. People would find it hard to believe how many types of technologies are being used on human minds today.

We all know we’re “steered” and “walled off” to some degree by influences around us, not the least of which is the media and the onslaught of its corporofascist disinformation and advertising arm.

Deeper influences include so-called modern education and the socially engineered dumbing-down of society for decades. Just look around you for how “well repeated” everything we’re told has become, with the predominance of shallow Hollywood types and the gutless sing-song intonations and political correctness in society’s language.

But there’s a lot more people need to know about electronic mind control and what it’s doing to us and our world.


1. The Sounds of Silence

Here’s one–subliminal programming carried by UHF or Ultra High Frequency signals. Some say this is the reason the government so enthusiastically pushed everyone to digital broadcasting, to implement this, and free-up the analog bandwidth for even more insidious purposes…the coming universally implanted chip.

The Department of Defense calls it Silent Sound Spread Spectrum (SSSS), and it also goes by the name of S-quad or Squad. In the private sector, the technology goes by the name of Silent Subliminal Presentation System and the technology has also been released to certain corporate vendors who have attached catchy brand names like BrainSpeak Silent Subliminals to their own SSSS-based products.

Whatever you call it, SSSS is a technology that uses subliminal programming that is carried over Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) broadcast waves, planting inaudible messages directly into the subconscious human mind.

Perfected more than twenty years ago by the Department of Defense and battlefield-tested upon unwitting Iraqi soldiers serving in the army of Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War during 1991, SSSS is a sinister weapon that may have been been developed for a specific mission: the total subjugation of the American people.

We’re talking nasty here. Would these controllers do such a thing? Are you kidding? Any tool that works is a good tool for these tools. Nature will find a way around it, but it’s something to behold how desperate these control freaks are.

Whether SSSS is coupled with the new all-digital TV signal as its means of delivery into the minds of an unsuspecting U.S. populace or not, it can be deployed by many different devices, including HAARP and GWEN towers, which would effectively blanket the entire nation at once. In fact, Judy Wall says that “there is evidence that the US Government has plans to extend the range of this technology to envelop all peoples, all countries. This can be accomplished, is being accomplished, by utilising the nearly completed HAARP project for overseas areas and the GWEN network now in place in the US. The US Government denies all this.”

But the most insidious aspect of SSSS is that it is completely undetectable by those being targeted. Because it delivers its subliminal programming directly to the human brain via the auditory sense at frequencies that humans are incapable of perceiving as sound, there is no defense against it. Everyone on the planet is equally susceptible to mind control via SSSS and there isn’t any escape from it, as the UHF waves can be transmitted over very long distances from remotely located sources and will pass through walls and other objects as if they are not there. UHF is the frequency (100mhz) that has been used for television and radio broadcasting for as long as these media have existed. SSSS is designed to utilize UHF as a carrier wave.

Even more insidious, though, is the fact that, coupled with the use of supercomputers, an individual’s unique electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns can be digitally altered and then stored for rebroadcast via digital UHF. According to Judy Wall, editor and publisher of Resonance, the newsletter of the Bioelectromagnetics Special Interest Group, these computer-enhanced EEGs “can identify and isolate the brain’s low-amplitude ‘emotion signature clusters,’ synthesize them and store them on another computer. In other words, by studying the subtle characteristic brainwave patterns that occur when a subject experiences a particular emotion, scientists have been able to identify the concomitant brainwave pattern and can now duplicate it.” These modified emotion signature clusters can then be broadcast over UHF carrier frequencies (i.e., regular TV and radio signals) directly into the brain where they can then “silently trigger the same basic emotion in another human being.” In other words, if the emotional signature cluster for, say, a feeling of hopelessness and despair is being fed directly into your brain via unseen radio waves, you will feel those emotions. The implications of this are, quite literally, mind boggling. Source


2. Another Microwave Scream Inside the Skull

The U.S. military bankrolled early development of a non-lethal microwave weapon that creates sound inside your head. But in the end, the gadget may be just as likely to wind up in shopping malls as on battlefields, as I report in New Scientist.

The project is known as MEDUSA – a contrived acronym for Mob Excess Deterrent Using Silent Audio. And it should not be confused with the Long Range Acoustic Device and similar gadgets which simply project sound. This one uses the so-called “microwave auditory effect”: a beam of microwaves is turned into sound by the interaction with your head. Nobody else can hear it unless they are in the beam as well.

The effect has long been a laboratory curiosity, with no application. But, over the years, the military has been intrigued. The idea (dubbed “the telepathic ray gun”) was mentioned in a 1998 US Army study, which turned up in a recent Freedom of Information Act document dump. Five years later, the Navy decided to put some R&D dollars into the project. Now, as I note on the New Scientist website, Dr. Lev Sadovnik of the Sierra Nevada Corporation has provided more details.

There are health risks, he notes. But the biggest issue from the microwave weapon is not the radiation. It’s the risk of brain damage from the high-intensity shock-wave created by the microwave pulse. Clearly, much more research is needed on this effect at the sort of power levels that Dr. Sadovnik is proposing. But if it does prove hazardous, that does not mean an end to weapons research in this area: a device that delivered a lethal shock-wave inside the target’s skull might make an effective death ray.

Dr. Sadovnik also makes the intriguing suggestion that, instead of being used at high power to create an intolerable noise, it might be used at low power to produce a whisper that was too quiet to perceive consciously but might be able to subconsciously influence someone. The directional beam could be used for targeted messages, such as in-store promotions. Sadovnik even suggests subliminal advertising, beaming information that is not consciously heard (a notion also spotted on the US Army’s voice-to-skull page). While the effectiveness of subliminal persuasion is dubious, I can see there might be some organizations interested in this capability. And if that doesn’t work, you could always point the thing at birds. They seem to be highly sensitive to microwave audio, so it might be used to scare flocks away from wind farms — or shoo pigeons from city streets. Source

3. HAARP and GWEN Tower Manipulation

I watch the weather. Not from conventional sites, but from real reporters who can see what’s going on. Dutchsince reports regularly on what the towers are showing him, and has incredible accuracy in telling us what weather system type is tending to come where.


And what apparently is guiding these formations is HAARP type broadcast technology emanating out of military bases and government installations around the country. After all, they’ve openly stated they want to own the weather by 2025.

What, are we stupid?

GWEN Towers

“Free” WiFi in US. Free, at what cost?

4. EMFs Blasting Everywhere

We’re being killed in slow motion. A microwave oven has warnings all over it, and if you use an EMF detector you’ll find it gives off a strong blast even when off, especially around the sides. Cell phones are now well known to cause cancer and Russia has banned their use amongst youth.

Western world? Fry away. ‘We don’t care, we dare. Precautions are for pussies. Put that gun to your head ol’ boy, you’re a tough codger.’

Conclusion

Pretty serious stuff. There’s lots more to all this, I’m only touching on the surface to get people thinking and aware. I’m no expert on any of this by any means, just aware we’re being screwed for ulterior motives…as usual.

The fundamental point is, these towers you’re seeing going up around you are not only all for cell phones! Some of these are huge metal beams emanating incredibly destructive influences around them. Here’s one I took a picture of in Austin, Texas RIGHT AMONGST ALL THE KIDS in a frequented and densely housed area off Guadelupe St. by U of T.

Tragic.

According to expert Barry Trower, cell towers should not be within a mile and a half of humans – yet they’re deliberately placed on medical buildings, within densely populated housing areas, and on schools and recreation areas.

It’s a living tragedy in slow motion. And no one notices, because no one in responsible positions are responsible to the people, just money, power, position and corporate greed.

Be aware. Campaign against towers near you and your loved ones and expose them. Investigate orgonite and other technologies and disable towers all you can.

We will win, but not by sitting idly by.

Don’t just sit there and fry.

Love, Zen

Sending out the call

I have been asked to come up with tangible solutions to help transition our world from the systems we have in place now to the systems we will have in place in the Golden Age. As we are all connected, despite our perceived differences, it would be foolish for me to think that I can undertake such a colossal task on my own. THIS IS AN OFFICIAL CALL OUR FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. Humanity needs your help. This is your window of opportunity to contribute to the co-creation of our collective future. Please act now! This call is very real, very serious and incredibly important. Think of it in this way: What if the leaders or your country actually came to you with the problems we were all facing, and asked you to come up with a solution that they would actually implement? This may be hard to imagine as it has been so long since our voices have been heard and taken seriously.

In an effort to organize this, I have put together pointed specific questions that need your input. I’ve also put together a form and list of instructions to help guide you through your own thinking process, and generate clarity in the information that you will submit. I have set a deadline for submission which is two weeks from now (on September 24th.) After this deadline all submissions will be compiled into a document that will be the blueprint of our future written by the people for the people.

Please know the information you submit will be taken very seriously. The most I can say now is that, through Divine intervention and your input, your response to these questions will be presented to entities in charge of implementing these changes. Your help is needed and your response to these questions has been asked for. In addition your input will be posted here on this blog for people to see.

Please be aware that these questions are going to be hard to answer. You may have to awaken parts of yourself to find the answers. This may not be easy, but the Universe and all of humankind depends on your answers. For this reason I would suggest that you read through the questions slowly, walk away, think about them for a while, perhaps even meditate and pray on them, and wait to see what comes to you for answers. Know that the answers are there inside of you. Ask your friends and family for their ideas, spread this document far and try to get as many people as you can to submit their answers.

First a little background

In my previous post “WHILE YOU WERE ASLEEP The Story of the 2012 Revolution” I attempted to layout the background of how we arrived at the point in our history that we are at right now. If you have not yet read it, I suggest you do to help give you your own understanding of our situation. I know that the document is long, but it had to be to get the full story. It is also important that you were able to get through and read to the very end where most of the future opportunities are presented. The reason for this is because we need to be able to get into “possibility thinking”. It is through this thinking that we will be able to come up with the answers for the future of our planet. We need to remember who we all really are, where we came from and where we are going.

The Assignment

As I’ve stated, there is a tremendous amount of money that is about to be released to all of us. As wonderful as this sounds it is a difficult process to undertake. This is the problem we all need to resolve. Let me try to explain:

To simplify, the release of this money is the equivalent of everyone winning the lottery at the same time (and yes there is enough for everyone to get the full amount). What kind of effect would that have on our society? Suddenly you’re a millionaire, but so are all the people you know. So yes, while everything will be “reset” there is a very real possibility that everything will be devalued at the same time. If everyone has money, everyone might quit their job, then there will be no one to provide the goods and services that we would all spend our newly found money on.
Here is an important analogy for what we are dealing with. Our current system (regardless of how corrupt it is) is like a life support machine for our society. It pumps our blood and supplies the nutrients necessary to keep our heart beating. We’ve been hooked up to this system for so long, our society depends on its daily operation for our ongoing survival. You can’t just pull the plug, wheel in a new life support machine and hook it up. The body wouldn’t survive that sudden transfer. We need to create a detailed means of transferring us off one system and onto another without loosing one precious soul in the transition.

On one side of the pond we’ve got the history of our past, and all the associated problems with our situation in the present. On the other side of the pond we’ve got the Golden Age and wondrous dreams of our glorious future. There are plenty of great people who have given us details and an understanding of our past and present. There are also plenty of people who give us details of our Golden Age. But who’s talking about the bridge between the two? How do we get there? This, ladies and gentlemen, is our mission. We the people are going to build the bridge so that all of us can step into our Golden Age, and we are going to start with the answers that we provide through this assignment.

Collectively, we’ll create the blueprint. Each of us plays a different role. Each of us is a cog in the great living machine of consciousness that will bring us to the other side. If you have been waiting and wondering: “when is something going to happen? why doesn’t something happen?”, it may be because we have to make it happen! Awaken those parts within yourself may be asleep and open your heart to the Divine answers that reside within. Step up to the plate and take an active role in the tremendous leap of our evolution. You have been summoned. The time is now.

The Questions (these will also be outlined in the form below)

Question #1 High level question – this addresses the “big picture”:
Our main objective is to release this money without destroying our society by crashing our global economic systems. How can we do this?

You do not have to be an economist to answer this question. Think about it based on your own understanding and knowledge. If you want, you can think of this on a global scale. You can also think of this on a small scale based on your own town or community.

For example, how would you keep your local supermarket running if the owner suddenly became a millionaire? Come up with your own scenarios based on your own personal experience. Act as if you were the person in charge of implementing this change and explain step by step what you would do to create the transition.

Question #2 Low Level Question – this addresses details:
Releasing this money and rebuilding our world is going to have to involve re-defining our relationships with our current organizations and industries. How do we do this? Pick one or more areas of our society that you feel passionate about (education, medical, military, technology, spirituality etc) Propose the end result relationship/function of this particular area that you wish to achieve and then reverse engineer the steps to bring us from where we are currently to the end result.

For example, if the end result is to live a life completely free of our dependence of oil, how would we smoothly transition our current energy system from where we are now to one that is completely run on clean free energy.

Question #3 Alternative Question:
If you have followed the work of someone that has these answers, please summarize this work here as it pertains to answering these questions and provide a reference to their work. This is also a place where you can list any further thoughts or comments that you have that may not fit into the first two questions.

Guidelines

Please try to adhere to the following guidelines while submitting your ideas.

1. This is not about competition or perfection. Please just do the best you can. Perhaps you don’t have all the answers; perhaps you can only contribute a small part. That’s ok. Do what you can and leave the rest. Your heart’s intention will be “good enough” to complete this assignment.

2. Standardization. To make this mass communication as efficient as possible I have created a standardized format that I would ask you to adhere to. This format is also designed to help guide all of us as a collective as we all partake in our own thought process. I have tried to make the form as intuitive as possible to help you complete it. Please think about your answers within the context of some of the following key points:

Goal/End Result: Please provide a summary in one or two sentences that can easily be listed with several other goals and end results on the same page. Please be concise and get right to the point with your Goal or end result. For example: “Goal: To end world hunger and provide sustainable food security through the use of local community co-ops where every member of the community volunteers their time in exchange for food to feed their families.”

Explain how we can accomplish this goal through the use of contingencies and milestones. (Below) This will help you lay out the step-by-step instructions that are necessary for these plans to be implemented.

Contingencies: Any process is laid out in a series of steps and you often have to complete the first step to move on to the second step and so on… Please define your idea’s contingent relationships here. For example, if we want to build a house, first we need to pour the foundation and wait for it to dry before we can build the frame on top of the foundation. After the frame is built we can then build the walls, etc.

Milestones: Please name specific points within your process that would be progress -marking achievements. For example, once we have finished building the house, we have now achieved a place to live!

3. Assume that the Cabal has been abolished and the financial collapse has been prevented. There are powers in place now that are helping to take care of these things. Our mission here is to design our world after this has been done. The beauty of this assignment is that by providing a detailed book of solutions now, we will also help play a part in the removal of the cabal and the prevention of the financial collapse, so it’s a win-win all around!

4. Apply the lessons we have learned. I know that this assignment may be overwhelming to some, but it is partially our complacency that has helped to get us into this mess. In the past, if we didn’t want to think about solutions, someone else did. And many of these solutions were based on greed and personal ego. Now is the time to break this pattern. Get up, stand up, do something, and speak out!

5. Check your ego. It has become natural to think in terms of “what’s in this for me?” Try to think of the collective. Remember the ultimate answer lies within the context of what you can do to help humanity, and not only what you can do to help yourself.

6. Think outside the box. You would be amazed at the types of answers you can come up with when you use “lateral thinking”. For example, challenge traditional ways of viewing things, make random assumptions about things to help break yourself out of the way we’ve all been programmed to think. (It’s not the spoon that bends; it’s your mind.)

7. Please — no hate, and no complaints without solutions.
I understand that we all have strong feelings about the oppression and suffering that we have had to endure. And I understand that you will probably have to identify a problem in order to provide an answer. Complaining and people-bashing alone keeps us stagnant and we need to move forward. I will not be able to include any submissions in the final document that are purely negative and void of solutions. If you are angry (as many of us are) please use that anger and focus it on coming up with an answer to get us out of this mess.

8. Brainstorm with your friends and family. Some of us are awake, some of us are not. Everyone has a brain and a heart. You can ask simple questions without having to reveal everything all at once. In many cases you might come across something that is very common. Some people will just shut down and say, “It can’t be done! It’s impossible! Never gonna happen!” They state it as if it were fact, back it up with little or no coherent thought or justification, and brush you off. This is “contempt prior to investigation”. It is a classic conditioned response and part of the programming of the Cabal. Hang in there as we are all being reprogrammed NOW as we speak. If you feel safe, try to ask some gentle probing questions to see if you can shift their thinking just a little. If this doesn’t work, then just shower them with love and drop a hint or two in your own way to let them know that everything will be ok, and when the time comes, you’ll be able to help them. The heart remembers what the mind forgets.

9. Share your story. If you have a story that you think would be beneficial for explaining your solution and reaching the hearts of others, please have the courage to share it! If you want, you can share anonymously or under a pen name. Too much has been hidden from us for too long. We need to know about your experience. We need to walk in each other’s shoes. We need to find compassion for one another. Your story plays an important role in awakening the hearts of others, and allows us to usher in the Golden Age.

10. You are significant. You are good enough and smart enough. You are more valued than you may ever know. It does not matter your age, your level of education, your culture, your income level or your occupation. You are part of humanity and you are needed at this time.

Next Steps for HopeGirl

I will be collecting submissions as they come in and organizing them into a larger document. As I am only one person, I certainly have my work cut out for me. I am dedicated to this cause as I am answering the directive given to me to do my due diligence. I know that I will receive help in every way I might need it.

Please feel free to post some of your ideas in a summarized version in the comments section below so that others can read and be inspired while this collection is in process. Please do this of course IN ADDITION to submitting the form, as only form submissions will be included in the finished document.

Remember the deadline for submissions is on September 24th at 12pm EST. You can start submitting your ideas as soon as today. After the deadline, the document will be finalized and submitted to the parties mentioned and will also be posted on this blog for all to read. I am assuming the finalized document should take a few days to complete after the submission deadline. At this point in time, we have to assume that this is the only opportunity we will get to pull this type of information together and submit it. I do not know if there will be another chance in the future, so if at all possible please act now if you want to contribute.

Please spread this document far and wide. We need as many submissions as possible and everyone needs to know about this opportunity to contribute their ideas.

Many blessings to all of you my beloved fellow humankind. I am very excited to hear what you come up with. Good luck!

China’s most powerful military leader, in an unusual public statement, last week ordered military forces to prepare for combat, as Chinese warships deployed to waters near disputed islands and anti-Japan protests throughout the country turned violent.

Protests against the Japanese government’s purchase of three privately held islands in the Senkakus chain led to mass street protests, the burning of Japanese flags, and attacks on Japanese businesses and cars in several cities. Some carried signs that read “Kill all Japanese,” and “Fight to the Death” over disputed islands. One sign urged China to threaten a nuclear strike against Japan.

Gen. Xu Caihou, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, considered the most senior military political commissar, said Friday that military forces should be “prepared for any possible military combat,” state run Xinhua news agency reported.

Heightened tensions over the Senkakus come as Defense Secretary Leon Panetta arrived in China Monday.

Panetta, in comments made in Japan shortly before traveling to China, said, “We are concerned by the demonstrations, and we are concerned by the conflict that is taking place over the Senkaku islands.”

“The message I have tried to convey is we have to urge calm and restraint on all sides,” he said, noting any “provocation” could produce a “blow up.”

Panetta repeated the U.S. position that it is neutral in the dispute over Japan’s Senkaku islands, a small chain of islets located south of Okinawa and north of Taiwan. But he also reaffirmed the U.S. defense commitment to Japan, a treaty ally.

“We stand by our treaty obligations,” Panetta said, echoing a similar commitment made during a 2010 standoff between Beijing and Tokyo over the Senkakus. ”They’re longstanding, and that has not changed.”

China claims the islands as its territory and calls them the Diaoyu islands.

Last week, following the Japanese government’s purchase of three of the Senkakus from private Japanese owners, six Chinese maritime security ships were deployed near the Senkaku islands, further heightening tensions.

Xu’s unusual comments followed reports in state-controlled Chinese media that opposed the Japanese government’s purchase of the three islands.

Xu said during a visit to military units near Taiyuan, in the northern province of Shanxi, “efforts should be made to ensure that the military is capable of resolutely performing its duty to safeguard the country’s national sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity whenever it is needed by the Party and the people.”

A U.S. official said the PLA’s most senior political general rarely makes such direct appeals to troops to prepare for combat.

Panetta told reporters en route to Japan, the first stop on a three-nation visit to Asia, “The United States does not take a position with regards to territorial disputes.”

In 2010, then-Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates invoked the U.S.-Japan defense treaty when tensions between China and Japan increased over Tokyo’s arrest of a Chinese fishing captain who rammed his boat against a Japanese coast guard vessel in waters near the Senkakus. Gates said the United States would “fulfill our alliance responsibilities” toward Japan.

Japan’s Coast Guard announced on Sept. 14 that six Chinese maritime patrol vessels sailed into Japanese-controlled waters near the Senkakus and the vessels ignored Japanese warnings for the ships to leave the area.

Other reports from China on Monday showed a convoy of hundreds of Chinese fishing vessels sailing toward the disputed islands.

The six Chinese ships entered Japanese waters near the island on Friday, and ignored Japanese coast guard orders for them to vacate what it said was its territorial waters.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed that six of its surveillance ships had entered the waters near the islands.

China’s aggressiveness in maritime disputes has garnered little attention in the presidential election campaign.

On Monday, President Obama criticized GOP nominee Mitt Romney for his attack on the administration for being soft on China through its weak response to China’s trade and currency policies.

The Chinese maritime warships near the Senkakus were reported last week by Xinhua as “routine patrols” near the islands to “assert the country’s sovereignty and protect fishermen.”

“The Diaoyou Islands and their affiliated islets have been China’s inherent territory since ancient times, and their surrounding waters are China’s traditional fishing ground,” the report said.

A classified Chinese government map from 1969 that was obtained by Japan’s government shows Beijing had labeled the islands as “Senkaku,” their Japanese name, and thus confirmed their control by Tokyo. The map, which was viewed by the Free Beacon, also had a dividing line south of the islands showing that they fall within Japanese territory.

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R., Fla.), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said during a hearing last week that China’s behavior toward regional states was tantamount to bullying.

“While the world’s attention was turned to other crises, including Iran’s nuclear program and concerns over the faltering Euro, China has upped the ante, playing the role of a schoolyard bully towards its maritime neighbors,” Ros-Lehtinen said.

“From one end to the other of the South China Sea, Beijing has increased both in belligerence and bellicosity.”

Ros-Lehtinen said the United States, through the Navy, will stand by friends and allies in the region.

The Florida Republican said China is seeking to control the South China Sea and other coastal waters and sealanes because they are “central to the Chinese communist mandarins’ aspirations to re-establish the Middle Kingdom as the dominant power in Asia.”

“Whoever controls these sea lanes can dominate Asia—and beyond—by choking off that commerce and oil shipments to the major stakeholders in the Asian economic miracle,” she said.

Chinese efforts to dominate the western Pacific are increasing the possibility of naval clashes, Ros-Lehtinen said.

“Other global crises must not distract from our vital national interests in the South China Sea and the western Pacific,” she said during a hearing. read more

An attack on Camp Bastion that led to the deaths of two US Marines is being reported as a botched “attempt to kidnap Prince Harry during his four-month tour of duty.”
Prince Harry, an Army captain, was stationed at the compound at Camp Bastion for his second tour of duty.

The plan called “Harry Operations” was carried out by the CIA-creation, the Taliban, who sent insurgents onto the military base in Afghanistan. A Taliban spokesperson confirmed that they “attacked that base because Prince Harry was also on it and so they can know our anger.” He asserted that “thousands more suicide attackers are ready to give up their lives.”

British propaganda media explain that Prince Harry had his pistol in hand and was ready to fight when he was “whisked to safety by SAS bodyguards as the Taliban launched its deadly attack on Camp Bastion.”

An anonymous insider at the base said that “if anything happened to [Prince Harry] it would have been disastrous.”

The Taliban was successful in destroying 3 refueling stations, 6 American Harrier jets and 6 aircraft hangers before being stopped. They dressed in clothing indicative of the locals’ which fooled check point security. The Taliban insurgents then gathered weapons and uniforms to infiltrate the base with AKA47 rifles and rocket-propelled grenades.

Sources in the British Ministry of Defense explained that the anti-Islamic film produced by the US government and released by FBI informant Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, a.k.a. Sam Bacile, was the cause of the riot at the base that sparked the attack.

Mainstream media is reporting that the FBI informant Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, a.k.a. Sam Bacile, has been taken for questioning. After Nakoula was imprisoned in 2009 for banking fraud, he was employed as an informant for the FBI just before he was used as a pasty in the making of the film Innocence of Muslims that the US government is claiming they had no hand in producing. In order to cover their tracks, and facilitate the psy-op that convinces the American public that Islam and al-Qaeda are legitimate terrorists, the FBI is holding Nakoula for questioning.

At first, the Zionist-controlled Israeli government tried to assert that Nakoula was not an Israeli citizen and according to their intelligence, there was no record of Nakoula being in California.

Now the story has changed and Nakoula is a real person who can be used as a pasty to be condemned by the US government to justify their “official” version of what is happening. As they create a fake revolution in the Islamic world with the aid of their fake terrorist group al-Qaeda, Nakoula is playing his part in the theater of lies.

According to Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, the Taliban is a “construct of the CIA and was armed by the CIA.” Rohrabacher said that the CIA-created Taliban served the US interests against the Russians in Afghanistan and have continued to be used even up-and-to the current presidential administration.

Roharbacher spoke during a House Committee on Foreign Affairs meeting where he named Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State was part of the ruse that is the Taliban. Clinton’s husband, during his presidency formed the Taliban with the assistance of the Saudi Arabian government and Pakistan.

Selig Harrison, speaking at the Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars held a presentation entitled “Terrorism and Regional Security: Managing the Challenges in Asia.” Harrison said that the “CIA made a historic mistake in encouraging Islamic groups from all over the world to come to Afghanistan.”

In creating the fake Islamic extremist groups and insurgents to be used for the proxy wars the US government wanted to fight subversively, $3 billion was invested into fake revolutionaries like the Taliban.

As the CIA funded and trained the Taliban for false flag operations wherein they would be used to attack key locations and cause havoc in pre-determined regions around the world, the ideology and perception of Islam as a radical religion began to take root.

Mainstream media reports that the Taliban and al-Qaeda are “infiltrated” by the CIA for understanding of the terrorist networks. However, intelligence gathering in their own faction simply enhances their success. The CIA, from sources within the federal agency, say that al-Qaeda is equipped with chemical, nuclear and biological weapons provided to them by the CIA.

In 2009, the Obama administration was working with the CIA-controlled Taliban to carry out attacks on targets for the US government. With the use of drones and air support to aid the Taliban in driving back the Pakistani forces during the early part of 2009, Obama followed in the footsteps of the other globalist puppets before him – using a fake terrorist organization with the intention of using terrorism against strategic nations without being obvious.

In August, Prince Harry was exposed, literally, when nude pictures of him participating in an orgy in Las Vegas circulated on the internet. Palace officials tried to downplay the embarrassment by saying that “Prince Harry has been on a private holiday before he resumes his military duties.

This latest incident is not the first time Prince Harry has been caught in a compromising position. In 2002, he was accused of under-age drinking and smoking pot. Prince Harry was 16 years old at the time of the allegation. In response, Prince Charles took Prince Harry to a rehabilitation center for drug abuse.

Prince Harry was photographed in 2005 wearing a Nazi soldier uniform at a party which made the cover of British tabloid newspapers.

Why would the US government use one of their fake terrorist factions to attack a base in Afghanistan and specifically target Prince Harry who is stationed there? Are there plans for a false flag involving Prince Harry and a CIA-controlled Islamic extremist group to further the global Elite’s forward march toward WW III?

VT Exclusive – Video Interview with UFO Welcome Center Host A Great Man…of Sorts
… by Jim W. Dean, VT Editor

Dear Folks, I have a light humor change of pace Vimeo Picks for you tonight. Why this, and now?

It’s been a blood and guts week with the Bulgarian bombing and more killings in Syria and WWIII preparation moves in play.

To that you can add the Olympic Israeli security firm having trained screeners who actually find HALF of the test weapons and bombs being brought through security. And his include pat downs.

President Ahmadinejad, expecting Iran to be framed for an Olympic attack, tried to come to London and offer himself as a human shield and die with the rest of the spectators, but British security said no. Me, I would have taken the insurance policy.

You are about to meet the eccentric master of ceremonies, Mr. Jody Pendarvis, host of the UFO Welcome Center in Bowman, S.C. For those of you out there who might be considered a bit odd, or even really weird, you will be most grateful to Jody as you are now off the hook, mom’s included.

You can send everybody this link as proof that they do not know what they are talking about as Jody will demonstrate to them, in spades, what weird is…and with a smile.

And you might even see something that I saw. And that is despite his weirdness, and a bit of a hygiene problem with his infamous quarters, this is a man who appears to be at peace with the world and himself.

Jody does not seem to have a high maintenance girl friend to soak up all of his money and the neighbors never ask them if he would watch their kids for a while when they go shopping.

What you will experience by watching this is a big slice of the American Pie…something called freedom, with some loose zoning laws sprinkled on time. But no dummy Jodyhis entry fees were $1 when he opened, and then went to $3. They are now up to $20. So maybe he is weird like a fox.

Welcome to Planet Earth is the story of the extremely unique Jody Pendarvis and his 30 foot UFO he built in his front yard in the small town of Bowman, SC. After a sighting of alien life forms, Jody built the giant UFO as a place to welcome aliens when they return.

All though visitors are welcomed to check out this unique and slightly odd landmark, Jody hopes that he will one day see the return of his friends from the sky. This is his story.

from Wikipedia…

The UFO Welcome Center is a tourist curiosity located in Bowman, South Carolina, built in the back yard of Jody Pendarvis. It consists of a 42-foot-wide flying saucer (13 m) built out of wood, fiberglass, and plastic. The structure, entered by a powered ramp, is mounted on four columns, designed to raise and lower with motors.

In addition to a labyrinth of mechanical and electronic salvage parts, the saucer is furnished with a bed, satellite television, air conditioning, toilet, and a shower. Pendarvis envisioned himself as being an ambassador to aliens and wanted to provide a facility where they could rest after a long journey on UFOs.

The saucer had begun to be built in 1994 and became a local tourist attraction, with a $1 entry fee. The center was the subject of a 2001 segment in The Daily Show, in which Stephen Colbert presented a caricatured tour of the attraction.

In 2003 Pendarvis added a smaller saucer, about 20 feet in width, to the top of the original structure and began living in the saucer during the summers when the saucer is cooler than his nearby mobile home. The admission price had risen to $20 by 2005.
