Exposing the Libyan Timeline of Lies and Insanity
So let me get this straight. No one in the U.S. or Europe cares for the last 20 years while Qaddafi rules Libya as a "terrorist state". No one thinks he's enough trouble to go in and remove. Then, suddenly, in 2011, the U.S., U.K. and France decide it's time for the aging leader to move on. so, NATO forces arm admitted terrorists, call them freedom fighters, kill Qaddafi, and leave the country wide open to a radical muslim government, with NATO armed fighters that's ready to kill them some westerners. Okay, that makes perfect sense...if you are insane...
Porn director pegged as man who shot now-infamous anti-Islam film
From - http://rt.com/news/film-director-made-porn-225/

According to the cast and crew of "The Innocence of Muslims," the man previously thought to have directed it – Nakoula Basseley Nakoula – was just the producer. The moviemaker, it turns out, is known for his work in soft-core porn.
In a story broken by American culture website Gawker.com, it turns out that while filmmaker Alan Roberts has titles like "Happy Hooker Goes to Hollywood" and "The Sexpert" to his name, he had yet to achieve recognition for his work. But all that may change, if information making him out to be the man who filmed the movie that has caused virulent demonstrations in more than twenty countries turns out to be true.
According to Gawker’s Adrian Chen, who spoke to a number of the film's cast and crew, Nakoula, also known as Sam Bacille, was present during the filming – but there was no doubt who was really in charge.
"Alan was working under Sam, sort of," said Eric Moers, a grip and electrician on the set. "But Alan was directing the movie; there was no question about it. Sam would just say [things like] 'Move faster, we have things to do.'"
Tim Dax, an actor in the film, also told Gawker that Roberts, the director, and Bacile, the producer, were two different people.
And the casting call, originally posted on Craigslist but still available in a cached version here, also lists Roberts as the director.
Unfortunately for anyone trying to get to the bottom of the story, the rabbit hole goes deeper. Brooklyn's alternative magazine VICE received an anonymous package containing documents that seem to suggest that Alan Roberts, porn director “extraordinaire,” is really a pseudonym for someone called Robert Brownell, who has also used the name Robert Brown.
This nesting-doll-style mystery has led many to come full circle and believe there really is no Alan Roberts, Robert Brownell or Robert Brown – and that the man originally thought to have made the movie really did make it.
But Roberts-Brownell-Brown’s business partner confirmed the man really was involved in the scandalous project, and was "lying low" after mass protests broke out in the Middle East and North Africa.
Still, it’s not really the director of the movie – which most of the evidence seems to show was dubbed during post-production in order to add the offensive content – who is of most interest. It’s not even Nakoula-slash-Basseley, who was being questioned by the police about his involvement in the project.
What everyone, including the police, the politicians and the people, want to know, is whose idea was it to make the movie in the first place.
But that mystery is yet to be solved.

GMO alert: Eating GM wheat may destroy your liver, warn scientists
Mike Adams
Natural News
Natural News
Genetically engineered wheat contains an enzyme suppressor that, when consumed by humans, could cause permanent liver failure (and death). That’s the warning issued today by molecular biologist Jack Heinemann of the University of Canterbury in Australia.
“We found over 770 pages of potential matches between these two genes in wheat and the human genome,” he continued. “We found over a dozen matches that are extensive and identical, and sufficient to cause silencing in experimental systems. The findings are absolutely assured. There’s no doubt that these matches exist. …from this information, we know that it’s plausible there will be an adverse effect and therefore that’s why we’re calling for a particular battery of experiments to be done before humans eat this wheat.”
Professor Judy Carman, biochemist and director of the IHER, Flinders University, Adelaide, added: “If this silences the same sort of gene in us — as it silences in the wheat — then, well, children who are born with this enzyme not working tend to die by the age of about five. And adults with this problem, just kind of get more and more sick, and more and more tired, until they get very very ill indeed.”
She continues, “Before this comes near any human feeding studies, you need to undertake thorough animal safety assessments, where you actually look to see if the animals get sick. So you need to see if this genetic modification survives digestion and gets into the bodies of the animals. You need to see what effect it has on them. You need to do proper long-term toxicology studies… you need to check for cancer, you need to see if there are any reproductive problems, and you need to check for allergies…”
CLARIFICATION: This note was added after initial publication to help clarify the status of GM wheat. Currently, GM wheat is not commercialized. It’s not yet found in everyday foods. But the GMO industry is trying to commercialize it while skipping any real safety testing and buying off regulators to declare it safe. GM corn, of course, is already widely used in foods, as is GM soy. But GM wheat is not yet in the food supply. If we don’t resist the domination of the biotech industry, however, it soon will be.

Is Latest ‘Zombie Cannibal’ Attack A Prophetic Warning To America Or Biological Warfare?
The day after the Department of Homeland Security had issued their latest strange ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ warning to Americans on Thursday, September 6th, America had it’s latest ‘Zombie Cannibal’ attack in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.
A man by the name of Richard Ciminio was arrested after gnawing on a woman’s head while naked and “screaming like an animal” during a wild neighborhood rampage, according to Pennsylvania state police.
The story linked below from CBS reveals the latest ‘zombie cannibal’ attack to take place across America this year, highlighted by the viral story that took place in Miami, Florida back in May.
With warnings from intelligence expert John Moore that 4 mutating viruses have been spreading across America that were possibly created in a Russian laboratory, one can only wonder if this so-called ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ is biological warfare upon America or a sign of Prophecy as revealed to us by the Bible.
A Doylestown man, who was naked and bleeding profusely, gnawed on woman’s head all while “screaming like an animal” during a wild neighborhood rampage, state police said.The bizarre incident played out in the early morning hours of September 7th in Hawley Boro, which is in Wayne County, Pennsylvania.According to investigators, the incident began when 20-year-old suspect Richard Ciminio Jr. parked his car behind a home on Hudson Street, got out and stripped down to his underwear.State Police say Ciminio then tried to break into a home, but was unsuccessful. Police say Ciminio then took off his underwear and continued down Hudson Street and broke into an unoccupied home.While inside that home, police say Ciminio walked up to the home’s second floor and jumped out a window, causing severe injuries to his arms and legs when he hit the ground.Bleeding profusely at this point, Ciminio then encountered two females who were walking down the street.State Police say Ciminio tackled one of the females, causing injury to her and covered her in his blood. Investigators say Ciminio then “began to gnaw” at the victim’s head while “screaming like an animal.”The two females were able to escape from Ciminio and call police.When police arrived, they found Ciminio lying in the roadway, covered in blood and displaying “delusional and confrontational behavior.” Officers eventually were forced to tase Ciminio, but that did not stop his bizarre behavior as police say he punched an EMT, who was treating him, in the face.Police were able to finally subdue Ciminio and he was taken to Geisinger Community Medical Center for treatment of his severe injuries.It was not immediately known what, if anything, Ciminio was under the influence of during the frightening ordeal.Ciminio is facing several charges, including aggravated assault, indecent exposure and burglary, among others.

Violent images in movies, TV or computer games CAN act as triggers for aggression
File this under "what a shocker"....after years of denying the obvious, someone tells the truth. Go figure...
Violent TV, films and video games do increase aggression, an international panel of experts has said, as they warn parents to keep an eye on what their children are watching.
The report for the The International Society for Research on Aggression (IRSA) concluded that that evidence shows that the consumption of media violence can act as a trigger for aggressive thoughts or feelings already stored.
They claim exposure to violent images in different media, such as movies and video games, increases the relative risk of aggression - defined as intentional harm to another person verbally or physically.
The panel also warn parents that a ratings system is no substitute for the watchful eye of a parent.
The IRSA appointed the International Media Violence Commission last December.
Craig Anderson, chair of the IRSA, said: 'Basically, the commission looked at, "What does the research literature say?"
'In addition, we asked them to make some recommendations, if they chose to do so, about public policy.
'It really was kind of an open-ended charge.'

s Barack Obama the "promised warrior" coming to help the Hidden Imam of Shiite Muslims conquer the world?
By Amir Taheri
Is Barack Obama the "promised warrior" coming to help the Hidden Imam of Shiite Muslims conquer the world?
The question has made the rounds in Iran since last month, when a pro-government Web site published a Hadith (or tradition) from a Shiite text of the 17th century. The tradition comes from Bahar al-Anvar (meaning Oceans of Light) by Mullah Majlisi, a magnum opus in 132 volumes and the basis of modern Shiite Islam.
According to the tradition, Imam Ali Ibn Abi-Talib (the prophet's cousin and son-in-law) prophesied that at the End of Times and just before the return of the Mahdi, the Ultimate Saviour, a "tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West." Commanding "the strongest army on earth," the new ruler in the West will carry "a clear sign" from the third imam, whose name was Hussein Ibn Ali. The tradition concludes: "Shiites should have no doubt that he is with us."
In a curious coincidence Obama's first and second names--Barack Hussein--mean "the blessing of Hussein" in Arabic and Persian. His family name, Obama, written in the Persian alphabet, reads O Ba Ma, which means "he is with us," the magic formula in Majlisi's tradition.
Mystical reasons aside, the Khomeinist establishment sees Obama's rise as another sign of the West's decline and the triumph of Islam. Obama's promise to seek unconditional talks with the Islamic Republic is cited as a sign that the U.S. is ready to admit defeat. Obama's position could mean abandoning three resolutions passed by the United Nations Security Council setting conditions that Iran should meet to avoid sanctions. Seeking unconditional talks with the Khomeinists also means an admission of moral equivalence between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic. It would imply an end to the description by the U.S. of the regime as a "systematic violator of human rights."
Obama has abandoned claims by all U.S. administrations in the past 30 years that Iran is "a state sponsor of terrorism." Instead, he uses the term "violent groups" to describe Iran-financed outfits such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
Obama has also promised to attend a summit of the Organization of the Islamic Conference within the first 100 days of his presidency. Such a move would please the mullahs, who have always demanded that Islam be treated differently, and that Muslim nations act as a bloc in dealings with Infidel nations.
Obama's election would boost President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's chances of winning a second term next June. Ahmadinejad's entourage claim that his "steadfastness in resisting the American Great Satan" was a factor in helping Obama defeat "hardliners" such as Hillary Clinton and, later, it hopes, John McCain.

Commerce secretary declares Alaska salmon disaster
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — King salmon fisheries in major Alaska watersheds have been declared failures by the U.S. Department of Commerce, making commercial fishermen eligible for disaster relief.
Acting U.S. Secretary of Commerce Rebecca Blank announced the disaster declaration Thursday for the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers, which flow into the Bering Sea, and for Cook Inlet region south of Anchorage, which includes the Kenai River.
“Some Cook Inlet salmon fisheries have experienced revenue losses of up to 90 percent of their historical average during the 2012 season, seriously hurting local economies that are dependent on fishing,” Blank said in her announcement.
The Yukon River is North America’s third-longest. Villages along the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers depend on chinook salmon for both commercial sales and subsistence needs, Blank said.
King salmon are the largest of the five Pacific salmon that thrive in Alaska waters. They hatch in freshwater streams, live a year in rivers and spend three to four years in ocean water before returning to streams to breed and die. Some spawning Yukon River kings swim more than 2,000 miles over two months across the width of Alaska to reach headwaters in Canada, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
Gov. Sean Parnell requested disaster declarations over the summer following weak returns that had state fisheries managers closing seasons and limiting sport, commercial and subsistence fishing. In some cases, managers halted the catch of sockeye or other species so that enough kings could escape up streams.

Synthetic life: The world’s first man-made jellyfish
Say hello to Medusoid, the world’s first artificial jellyfish. Super-fast, gritty crunch and tastes just like chicken. It’s the sort of creature that wouldn’t go amiss washing up on Gorillaz’ imagined plastic beach.
The pseudo-jellyfish has been created by US scientists working at Harvard and the California Institute of Technology. The project was undertaken as part of research into biological pump systems, which jellyfish utilize to achieve movement.
Anatomically speaking, in terms of complexity, jellyfish are definitely at the lower end of the spectrum of the animal kingdom. Quite simply, they consist of a jelly like substance, overlain with muscle cells. Add to that a few tentacles and a central oral cavity and you’ve got yourself a jellyfish. The simultaneous contraction of the muscle results in propulsion through the water.
The artificial jellyfish, named Medusoid, was constructed using silicone as a base to mimic the ‘jelly’ in a jellyfish, onto which was printed layers of rat heart cells.
Kit Parker, co-author of the paper and a biophysicist at Harvard University, said when describing the project: “Morphologically, we’ve built a jellyfish. Functionally, we’ve built a jellyfish. Genetically, this thing is a rat”.
In order to create a jellyfish capable of swimming, the two groups at Caltech and Harvard had to carry out a great deal of arduous research into the key mechanics that contribute to jellyfish propulsion. They needed to understand the arrangement of muscles in a jellyfish, how their muscles work to achieve movement and the fluid dynamics of movement through water. Once these components were understood, they set about making themselves the creature.
Upon completion, Medusoid was literally jolted into swimming by passing an electric current through water. The electrical stimulation of the heart cells caused simultaneous contractions, providing propulsion almost identical to what a real jellyfish would achieve with its own muscle framework.
The work is a huge step forward in the field of synthetic biology and the team hopes that their work will have a serious impact in medicine, particularly in regenerative tissue therapy.
Prior to the project, Kit Parker noticed that jellyfish pump water in a remarkably similar way to how the heart pumps blood. By learning how to deconstruct and reverse-engineer a jellyfish, the researchers were aiming to achieve greater understanding of the workings of biological pumps, in particular the workings of the heart.
Cardiac disease is the leading cause of death in many well-developed countries. Through better understanding of cardiac mechanisms, scientists hope to be able to repair damaged tissue and even create replacement parts, possibly even on the scale of an entire artificial heart. The work carried out by the teams at Harvard and Caltech should vastly improve scientists grasp on understanding the heart so that new treatments can be developed.

How Buzz Aldrin’s surreal communion on the moon was hushed up
Neil Armstrong will be remembered at Washington National Cathedral today. It’s a good moment to look at one eccentric Apollo story: the tale of Aldrin’s hushed-up communion on the moon.
Before Armstrong and Aldrin stepped out of the lunar module on July 20, 1969, Aldrin unstowed a small plastic container of wine and some bread. He had brought them to the moon from Webster Presbyterian church near Houston, where he was an elder. Aldrin had received permission from the Presbyterian church’s general assembly to administer it to himself. In his book Magnificent Desolation he shares the message he then radioed to Nasa: “I would like to request a few moments of silence … and to invite each person listening in, wherever and whomever they may be, to pause for a moment and contemplate the events of the past few hours, and to give thanks in his or her own way.”
He then ate and drank the elements. The surreal ceremony is described in an article by Aldrin in a 1970 copy of Guideposts magazine: “I poured the wine into the chalice our church had given me. In the one-sixth gravity of the moon the wine curled slowly and gracefully up the side of the cup. It was interesting to think that the very first liquid ever poured on the moon, and the first food eaten there, were communion elements.”
He also read a section of the gospel of John. During it all, Armstrong, reportedly a deist, is said to have watched respectfully but without making any comment.
The story of the secret communion service only emerged after the mission. Aldrin had originally planned to share the event with the world over the radio. However, at the time Nasa was still reeling from a lawsuit filed by the firebrand atheist Madalyn Murray O’Hair, resulting in the ceremony never being broadcast. The founder of American Atheists and self-titled “most hated woman in America” had taken on Nasa, as well as many other public organisation. Most famously, she successfully fought mandatory school prayer and bible recitation in US public schools.

Strange Energy From Galactic Center Bombarding Earth
According to a groundbreaking investigation conducted by two UC Irvine astrophysicists and submitted to the peer-reviewed American Physical Society journal Physical Review, colliding particles of dark matter may be creating a maelstrom of turbulent energy deep in the heart of the Milky Way Galaxy. Among the particles streaming from the stellar conflagration are gamma-rays.
Other more exotic particles have been detected in the past that may be erupting from the event horizon of a gigantic, rotating black hole that dominates the center of the galaxy.
Brilliant UC Irvine professor Kevork Abazajian
Professors Kevork Abazajian and Manoj Kapling patiently sifted through reams of data accumulated from 2008 to 2012 by NASA’s orbiting Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The persistence paid off with their monumental discovery
Associate professor Manoj Kapling
“This is the first time this new source has been observed with such high statistical significance, and the most striking part is how the shape, spectrum and rate of the observed gamma rays are very consistent with the leading theories for dark matter,” Abazajian explained. “Future observations of regions with less astrophysical emission, such as dwarf galaxies, we will be able to conclusively determine if this is actually from dark matter.”
Unknown energy
The professors’ revelation comes almost exactly two years after the finding that mysterious emmissions from the sun are mutating matter and affecting the rate of radioactive decay on Earth. That terrifying scientific discovery had physicists scrambling.
NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope
When some alarmed scientists first recognized this potential threat, others dismissed it as an anomaly. But not long after the confirmation of unknown energy emmissions interacting with matter was confirmed, frantic scientists shot e-mails back and forth to their colleagues across the world attempting to understand exactly what’s happening.
Dr. Alexey Dmitriev warned of unknown energy source
Unknown force from unknown origins
Back in 1998, Astrophysicist Dr. Alexey Dmitriev wrote a white paper outlining his discovery that “Strong evidence exists that these transformations are being caused by highly charged material and energetic non-uniformity’s in anisotropic interstellar space which have broken into the interplanetary area of our Solar System.”
He described the arrival of an unknown force from the galactic void that’s now surrounded much of the solar system. Dmitriev proclaimed that the entire solar system is entering an immense, potentially deadly, interstellar energy cloud of unknown origins.
Stars swarming around giant galactic black hole
Unknown dangers
As the solar fury continues toward maximum in 2013 a period of potentially dangerous intensity never experienced by any living person approaches. NASA’s been beating their drum warning the world at large about the danger. Strange, titanic forces are building deep within the sun’s nuclear core.
It’s already been proven that the sun’s mass warps time, bends light waves and accounts for mutation of species on Earth. Now this new force may be directly interacting with matter in a way that could not only change Mankind’s understanding of physics, but change Mankind itself…and not in a pleasant way.
Researchers into the disturbing phenomenon agree that whether the phenomenon has no real impact on humanity, or the worst impact imaginable, nothing can be done to stop it. The blind forces of nature rise like an unstoppable tsunami bearing down on the defenseless Earth.
Will these forces overwhelm our feeble technology? Will we find ourselves the playthings of the gods?
Against such unknowns humans are utterly helpless
It Just Keeps Getting Worse: US Ambassador to Libya Was Raped Before He Was Tortured, Killed
The horror is unimaginable.The world “radically transformed” by Obama.
And more gruesome then Obama's lethal delusions is the diversion he is attempting to create using Mitt Romney. Obama and his media jackals are attacking .Romney for his much needed and proper criticism of Obama's epic failing in handling this unfolding crisis of war.

Island dispute escalates between China and Japan: China sends ships to Senkaku
September 14, 2012 – JAPAN – Tensions between China and Japan over the Senkaku Islands, known the Diayu Islands in China, located in the East China Sea escalated. The Japanese media reported that China dispatched four maritime ships toward the islands after the Japanese government purchased three of the disputed islands on September 11 for approximately $26 million from a private Japanese owner. China says it is an attempt to “steal its property” and they are ready to “assert” the country’s sovereignty over the islands. “I don’t believe it will grow into a military confrontation,” said Koichiro Yoshida, vice president of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly and ruling Democratic Party of Japan member. “But if it does and the Chinese vessels enter the territorial waters around the Islands, Japan should take aggressive measures. We must protect the rights of our citizens and our sovereignty over the islands.” The dispute is spilling over into Japan’s economy. For example, Nissan Motor’s sales in August fell and many joint events as well as Chinese tours to Japan have been canceled. “But I don’t expect it to have a massive negative impact on our economic relations,” Yoshida said. “Japan is a major investor and China is our largest trading partner. Although Chinese consumers might not buy Japanese brands because of this. I suspect there is too much at risk for both countries, but it will be more damaging for China.” The islands are near rich fishing grounds and believed to contain undersea natural gas and oil fields. According to Tokyo businessman Hiro Ito, “China’s argument does not have any legal merits. We only purchased islands that we had been leasing. I expect they will continue to challenge us.” Anti-Japanese hostility runs deep in China. The issue has caused growing demonstrations in cities across China and some attacks on Japanese businesses. There is no doubt that the Senkaku dispute will linger and create ill-will and distrust on both sides, complicating any resolution. Meanwhile the governments in both countries are trying to manage the situation, since there is a lot at stake for Asia’s two biggest economies. –Majirox News
Guatemala’s Fuego volcano erupts, forcing 33,000 to evacuate
September 14, 2012 – GUATEMALA - A long-simmering volcano outside one of the Guatemala’s most famous tourist attractions exploded into a series of powerful eruptions Thursday, hurling thick clouds of ash nearly two miles (three kilometers) high, spewing rivers of lava down its flanks and forcing the evacuation of more than 33,000 people from surrounding communities. Guatemala’s head of emergency evacuations, Sergio Cabanas, said the evacuees were leaving some 17 villages around the Volcan del Fuego, which sits about six miles southwest (16 kilometers) from the colonial city of Antigua. The ash was blowing south and authorities said Antigua was not currently in danger, although they expected the eruption to last for at least 12 more hours. The agency said the volcano spewed lava nearly 2,000 feet (600 meters) down slopes billowing with ash around Acatenango, a 12,346-foot-high (3,763-meter-high) volcano whose name translates as “Volcano of Fire.” A paroxysm of an eruption is taking place, a great volcanic eruption, with strong explosions and columns of ash, said Gustavo Chicna, a volcanologist with the National Institute of Seismology, Vulcanology, Meteorology and Hydrology. He said the cinders spewing from the volcano were settling a half-inch thick in many places. He said extremely hot gases were also rolling down the sides of the volcano, which was entirely wreathed in ash and smoke. The emergency agency warned that flights through the area could be affected. There was a general orange alert, the second-highest level, but a red alert south and southeast of the mountain, where, Chicna said, “it’s almost in total darkness.” Teresa Marroquin, disaster coordinator for the Guatemalan Red Cross, said the organization had set up 10 emergency shelters and was sending hygiene kits and water. “There are lots of respiratory problems and eye problems,” she said. –CSM
WHO warns Ebola out of control in Democratic Republic of Congo: deaths rise to 31
September 13, 2012 – CONGO - An Ebola outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo risks spreading to major towns if not brought under control soon, the World Health Organization said on Thursday. The death toll has more than doubled since last week to 31, including five health workers dying from the contagious virus for which there is no known treatment. Ebola causes massive bleeding and kills up to 90 percent of its victims. “The epidemic is not under control. On the contrary, the situation is very, very serious,” Eugene Kabambi, a WHO spokesman in Congo’s capital Kinshasa told Reuters by telephone. “If nothing is done now, the disease will reach other places, and even major towns will be threatened,” he said. The disease has so far struck in the towns of Isiro and Viadana in Orientale province in the north east. In August, 16 people in neighboring Uganda died of the disease, although health experts said the two epidemics are not connected and have blamed the Congolese outbreak on villagers eating contaminated meat in the forests which cover the region. –Terra
Does the West Nile outbreak signal an epidemic of viral epidemics?
By
We are swimming in a sea of viruses. A hundred times smaller than bacteria, these tiny things are little more than stripped-down packets of genetic material with some protein padding. By strict definition, they aren’t even alive.
But viruses are robust and promiscuous in their ability to invade organisms and hijack cellular machinery in order to replicate. The latest virus to seize the country’s attention — and create a run on bug spray — is the mosquito-borne West Nile virus, which usually has little effect on its human hosts but can sometimes be a killer.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Wednesday that this year’s West Nile epidemic is on track to be the deadliest since the disease first showed up in New York City in 1999, perhaps inside a stowaway mosquito on a transatlantic jetliner. There have been 2,636 officially reported cases nationally and 118 deaths, including two in Maryland and one each in Virginia and the District.
People get the virus from mosquitoes that have bitten infected birds. Most people don’t become sick, but some have a mild fever. One out of 150 develops serious symptoms, such as brain inflammation or polio-like paralysis of the arms or legs. A small number die.

US Totalitarianism Loses Major Battle As Judge Permanently Blocks NDAA's Military Detention Provision
Submitted by Tyler
Durden
Back in January, Pulitzer winning journalist Chris Hedges sued President Obama and the recently passed National Defense Authorization Act, specifically challenging the legality of the Authorization for Use of Military Force or, the provision that authorizes military detention for people deemed to have "substantially supported" al Qaeda, the Taliban or "associated forces." Hedges called the president's action allowing indefinite detention, which was signed into law with little opposition from either party "unforgivable, unconstitutional and exceedingly dangerous." He attacked point blank the civil rights farce that is the neverending "war on terror" conducted by both parties, targetting whom exactly is unclear, but certainly attaining ever more intense retaliation from foreigners such as the furious attacks against the US consulates in Egypt and Libya. He asked "why do U.S. citizens now need to be specifically singled out for military detention and denial of due process when under the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force the president can apparently find the legal cover to serve as judge, jury and executioner to assassinate U.S. citizens." A few months later, in May, U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest ruled in favor of a temporary injunction blocking the enforcement of the authorization for military detention. Today, the war againt the true totalitarian terror won a decisive battle, when in a 112-opinion, Judge Forrest turned the temporary injunction, following an appeal by the totalitarian government from August 6, into a permanent one.
From Reuters:
What is ironic, is that in the ongoing absolute farce that is the theatrical presidential debate, there hasn't been one word uttered discussing precisely the kind of creeping totalitarian control, and Orwellian loss of constitutional rights, that the biparty-supported NDAA would have demanded out of the US republic. Why? Chris Hedges said it best:
He is 100% correct, and today, if it weren't for his lawsuit, the saying that someone, somewhere in the world might possibly "hate America for its liberties" would have been the biggest lie conceivable.
Also, the total fascist takeover of America would now have been a fact.
Some other insights from Hedges, who explained back in January, just why he is suing Barack Obama:

From Reuters:
The permanent injunction prevents the U.S. government from enforcing a portion of Section 1021 of the National Defense Authorization Act's "Homeland Battlefield" provisions.
The opinion stems from a January lawsuit filed by former New York Times war correspondent and Pulitzer Prize winner Chris Hedges and others. The plaintiffs said they had no assurance that their writing and advocacy activities would not fall under the scope of the provision.
Government attorneys argued that the executive branch is entitled to latitude when it comes to cases of national security and that the law is neither too broad nor overly vague.
"This court does not disagree with the principle that the president has primacy in foreign affairs," the judge said, but that she was not convinced by government arguments.
"The government has not stated that such conduct - which, by analogy, covers any writing, journalistic and associational activities that involve al Qaeda, the Taliban or whomever is deemed "associated forces" - does not fall within § 1021(b)(2)."
What is ironic, is that in the ongoing absolute farce that is the theatrical presidential debate, there hasn't been one word uttered discussing precisely the kind of creeping totalitarian control, and Orwellian loss of constitutional rights, that the biparty-supported NDAA would have demanded out of the US republic. Why? Chris Hedges said it best:
The oddest part of this legislation is that the FBI, the CIA, the director of national intelligence, the Pentagon and the attorney general didn’t support it. FBI Director Robert Mueller said he feared the bill would actually impede the bureau’s ability to investigate terrorism because it would be harder to win cooperation from suspects held by the military. “The possibility looms that we will lose opportunities to obtain cooperation from the persons in the past that we’ve been fairly successful in gaining,” he told Congress.
But it passed anyway. And I suspect it passed because the corporations, seeing the unrest in the streets, knowing that things are about to get much worse, worrying that the Occupy movement will expand, do not trust the police to protect them. They want to be able to call in the Army. And now they can.
He is 100% correct, and today, if it weren't for his lawsuit, the saying that someone, somewhere in the world might possibly "hate America for its liberties" would have been the biggest lie conceivable.
Also, the total fascist takeover of America would now have been a fact.
Some other insights from Hedges, who explained back in January, just why he is suing Barack Obama:
This demented “war on terror” is as undefined and vague as such a conflict is in any totalitarian state. Dissent is increasingly equated in this country with treason. Enemies supposedly lurk in every organization that does not chant the patriotic mantras provided to it by the state. And this bill feeds a mounting state paranoia. It expands our permanent war to every spot on the globe. It erases fundamental constitutional liberties. It means we can no longer use the word “democracy” to describe our political system.
The supine and gutless Democratic Party, which would have feigned outrage if George W. Bush had put this into law, appears willing, once again, to grant Obama a pass. But I won’t. What he has done is unforgivable, unconstitutional and exceedingly dangerous. The threat and reach of al-Qaida—which I spent a year covering for The New York Times in Europe and the Middle East—are marginal, despite the attacks of 9/11. The terrorist group poses no existential threat to the nation. It has been so disrupted and broken that it can barely function. Osama bin Laden was gunned down by commandos and his body dumped into the sea. Even the Pentagon says the organization is crippled. So why, a decade after the start of the so-called war on terror, do these draconian measures need to be implemented? Why do U.S. citizens now need to be specifically singled out for military detention and denial of due process when under the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force the president can apparently find the legal cover to serve as judge, jury and executioner to assassinate U.S. citizens, as he did in the killing of the cleric Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen? Why is this bill necessary when the government routinely ignores our Fifth Amendment rights—“No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law”—as well as our First Amendment right of free speech? How much more power do they need to fight “terrorism”?
Fear is the psychological weapon of choice for totalitarian systems of power. Make the people afraid. Get them to surrender their rights in the name of national security. And then finish off the few who aren’t afraid enough. If this law is not revoked we will be no different from any sordid military dictatorship. Its implementation will be a huge leap forward for the corporate oligarchs who plan to continue to plunder the nation and use state and military security to cow the population into submission.

Apocalyptic TV: Art Imitating Life or Predictive Programming?
Nicholas West
Activist Post
It is always a good idea to prepare for reasonably common events like natural disasters, large climate events like drought, and generally to be as self-sufficient as possible. The natural world, coupled with the insanity of global banksters, should get us all prepping in a hurry.
Doomsday is another matter entirely. As 2012 approaches, we have doomsday coming in every stripe: World War III, religious rapture, Mayan prophecies, Nibiru, alien intervention, and even a zombie apocalypse: you name it. People are prepping like never before and even building their doomsday bunkers to ride it out. And all the while Hollywood is right there either to be a reflection of our concerns that can be capitalized upon, or to give a lending hand to global management who would like us to behave a certain way when the inevitable doomsday does arrive — it’s a technique known as predictive programming.
No matter your view, the flurry of apocalyptic television programming and major motion pictures should get our attention, as we are being shown how “entertaining” the end of the world can be.
It is apparent from the trailer that the power grid has failed (and is perhaps an inside job) and that the real power is what survivors are struggling for. Revolution takes place 15 years after the apocalyptic event and we are shown a bleak landscape which appears to be like Road Warrior meets the Hunger Games.
Interesting to note that local groups are called “militias” and are headed by warlords. The word militia has, of course, become the catch-phrase used in the MIAC document of 2009 to include such villains as Ron Paul supporters, constitutionalists and returning veterans. But here is the official summary from NBC Publicity:
Our entire way of life depends on electricity. So what would happen if it just stopped working? Well, one day, like a switch turned off, the world is suddenly thrust back into the dark ages. Planes fall from the sky, hospitals shut down, and communication is impossible. And without any modern technology, who can tell us why? Now, 15 years later, life is back to what it once was long before the industrial revolution: families living in quiet cul-de-sacs, and when the sun goes down lanterns and candles are lit. Life is slower and sweeter. Or is it? On the fringes of small farming communities, danger lurks. And a young woman’s life is dramatically changed when a local militia arrives and kills her father, who mysteriously – and unbeknownst to her – had something to do with the blackout. This brutal encounter sets her and two unlikely companions off on a daring coming-of-age journey to find answers about the past in the hopes of reclaiming the future.
Holly Deyo, author of Dare to Prepare! has issued a scathing critique of this popular programming, and how it distorts what might otherwise be a worthwhile attempt to bring prepping to the mainstream. Instead…
It was a near-given that this program would paint preppers as wackadoodles and in this regard, it doesn’t disappoint. To be fair, some creative and unique ideas are demonstrated, but then they gum up the works with the ridiculous…The authors of 11 Steps to Living a Strategic Life — A Guide to 2012 and Beyond, Gaye Levy and George Ure, make a similar critical comment about the portrayal of “doomsday preppers”
Most astonishing in one episode the analysts negate the chances of an EMP-induced power grid failure, when NOAA, a notoriously conservative venue, says this is a near certainty. Mainstream has reported on this potentially catastrophic problem for the past 2 or 3 years. Writers of Doomsday Preppers should have done their homework to avoid looking so ignorant.
A lot of people think of ‘preppers’ and they think of the TV show Doomsday Preppers and other media reports which portray extreme examples . . .We wanted to make it clear that prepping is not an extremist or anti-establishment decision. Most of it is just good common sense.
According to the trailer, Take Shelter is the winner of two awards at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, and an official selection at The Sundance Film Festival. This normally means that there is at least something deeper to say beyond the normal mainstream, big budget film.
One interesting element that is introduced is the focus on a central character who has a premonition of a catastrophic event. He takes action and begins to make preparations for the event in the face of intense criticism from friends and family who think he might be losing his mind and wasting money building a storm shelter lined with storable goods. As his preparations intensify, it is clear that one is left to wonder if this is prophecy, schizophrenia, or something else.
Take Shelter could be a critique of how the general public views anyone with “End Times” beliefs or the desire to prepare for any type of cataclysm or societal collapse. Or, it could be a cautionary tale to that very same ignorance-is-bliss public to listen a little better to those who are taking steps to protect them from the fallout.
The End of The World is a horror comedy in development with Seth Rogen and Sony Pictures based on his short film Jay and Seth vs. The Apocalypse. The film is also inspired by an eerie conversation Rogen had with Hollywood insiders George Lucas and Steven Spielberg who revealed to Rogen that they were personally preparing for a doomsday event in 2012. Is this movie a bit of necessary comic relief, or does it serve to acclimatize us that the end of the world could be cool, fun … and even funny?
These new programs follow in the footsteps of other series such as The Colony, and movies like Contagion. For an interesting database of apocalyptic films, visit ApocalypticMovies.com to trace them from the 1950s on — have they helped prepare (program) us for what we have already seen come to pass? How have they changed over the decades?
The U.S. government certainly seems to be gearing up for something big with its massive purchase of ammunition – perhaps civil unrest from a collapsing economy? Despite preparations made by governments and elites, there has been a move to paint preppers as crazy and even threatening.
U.S. officials themselves have prepared for the very same cataclysmic scenarios through their Continuity of Government agenda and they hold the ultimate bunker in Cheyenne Mountain.
However, the public is increasing its preparedness as well, since the alarm bells are sounding louder than ever before. Survival purchases are skyrocketing, and guns are being bought in record numbers.
One doomsday bunker company, Hardened Structures cites the following client demographics:
- 30% believe in 2012 or end-of-the world scenarios
- 50-55% are concerned about economic collapse and political unrest
- 20% wish to protect against military, data storage and EMP threats
Since this month is National Preparedness Month — if we continue to be so intrigued by the myriad cinematic ways our society can meet its untimely end, we might as well prepare for it just in case one of these scenarios jumps off the screen.

US-Backed Terrorists Murder US’ Own Ambassador in Libya
By Tony Cartalucci
theintelhub.com
Murdered US Ambassador exposes US “pro-democracy” foreign policy – same terrorists US backs in Syria are behind the murder of US Ambassador in Libya.
Update: The picture below of John McCain in Benghazi, during the violent military subversion of Libya in 2011, includes the now deceased US Ambassador John Christopher Stevens on the right, wearing a blue tie.
Stevens has now become a victim of the very terrorists he played a role in creating. The caption below has been edited to reflect this information.
Editor’s Note: With Russia openly accusing the West of using Al Qaeda as their direct, militant proxies in Syria and beyond, this latest attempt to purposefully provoke and incite Muslims across the Arab World is an attempt by the West to reestablish the perception that the US and Israel are at war with sectarian extremists, not partnered with them.
The film allegedly at the center of the violence, most likely came from the Neo-Con “Clarion Fund” or a project of similar origin.
September 12, 2012 – “I have met with these brave fighters, and they are not Al-Qaeda. To the contrary: They are Libyan patriots who want to liberate their nation. We should help them do it.” – Senator John McCain in Benghazi, Libya April 22, 2011.
Image: Senator John McCain (with the now deceased US Ambassador John Christopher Stevens on the right with blue tie) in the terrorist rat nest of Benghazi after marshaling cash, weapons, and political support for militants tied directly to Al Qaeda. McCain’s insistence that the terrorists he helped arm and install into power were “not Al Qaeda” runs contra to the US Army’s own reports which state that Benghazi’s terror brigades officially merged with Al Qaeda in 2007.
McCain’s “Libyan patriots” have now killed US Ambassador Stevens with weapons most likely procured with cash and logistic networks set up by NATO last year, part of a supranational terror campaign that includes violently subverting Syria – a campaign McCain also supports.
….
McCain’s “Libyan patriots” have now murdered US Ambassador John Christopher Stevens in the very city McCain spoke these words.
An assault on the American consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi, the epicenter of not only last year’s violent subversion and destruction of sovereign Libya, but a decade’s old epicenter of global terrorism, left Ambassador Stevens dead along with reportedly three others.
The violence, Western media claims, stems from an anti-Islamic film produced in the US.
In reality, the coordinated nature of the attacks on both the US Embassy in Libya, as well as its embassy in Cairo, Egypt, on the 11th anniversary of 9/11, are most likely using the Neo-Conservative Clarion Fund-esque propaganda film as a false pretense for violence long-planned.
The Clarion Fund regularly produces anti-Muslim propaganda, like “Iranium,” specifically to maintain a strategy of tension using fear and anger to drive a wedge between Western civilization and Islam to promote perpetual global wars of profit.
NATO Knowingly Handed Libya to Al Qaeda
Indeed, the US Army’s West Point Combating Terrorism Center (CTC) noted that Benghazi and the neighboring city of Darnah served a disproportionately high role in supplying foreign fighters to wage terror against the people of Iraq and Afghanistan – foot soldiers brought in to fuel a destructive and divisive sectarian war that undermined a united Sunni-Shi’ia resistance to Western troops who had invaded.

President of Italian Supreme Court Calls for International Criminal Investigation into 9/11 Attacks
By Madison Ruppert
theintelhub.com
The President of the Italian Supreme Court, Fernando Imposimato, has reportedly called for a criminal investigation into the tragic attacks on September 11, 2001 and even went as far as to draw connections between historical “false flag” incidents such as those organized by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Italy as part of Operation Gladio (which some claim has reared its ugly head once more).
In a quite vitriolic letter published by the Journal of 9/11 Studies, Imposimato pulls no punches, opening the letter with the searing statement:
“The 9/11 attacks were a global state terror operation permitted by the administration of the USA, which had foreknowledge of the operation yet remained intentionally unresponsive in order to make war against Afghanistan and Iraq.”
“To put it briefly, the 9/11 events were an instance of the strategy of tension enacted by political and economic powers in the USA to seek advantages for the oil and arms industries,” wrote Imposimato.
Imposimato is no stranger to high-profile cases, having served on the Anti-Mafia Commission during three different administrations, investigating the assassination of Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro along with the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II.
In calling the 9/11 attacks an instance of the strategy of tension, or strategia della tensione, Imposimato is linking them to the decades of brutal violence carried out by Western intelligence agencies and their agents throughout the Mediterranean.
This is no minor accusation, evidenced by the quite powerful statements made condemning Gladio contained in the European Parliament resolution on Gladio, which passed on November 22, 1990.
Even though the resolution, “Condemns the clandestine creation of manipulative and operational networks and Calls for a full investigation into the nature, structure, aims and all other aspects of these clandestine organizations or any splinter groups,” a full investigation was never truly carried out.
Imposimato brought up several facts which prove highly problematic for the government’s official account of the events of September 11, 2001, including the clearly abnormal collapse of World Trade Center Building 7.
Imposimato also pointed to the fact that there were reports of the CIA meeting with Osama Bin Laden, the man allegedly behind the attacks, in July of 2001. It is also important to point out that Bin Laden was once a CIA asset and worked closely with Zbigniew Brzezinski.

The President of the Italian Supreme Court, Fernando Imposimato, has reportedly called for a criminal investigation into the tragic attacks on September 11, 2001 and even went as far as to draw connections between historical “false flag” incidents such as those organized by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Italy as part of Operation Gladio (which some claim has reared its ugly head once more).In a quite vitriolic letter published by the Journal of 9/11 Studies, Imposimato pulls no punches, opening the letter with the searing statement:
“The 9/11 attacks were a global state terror operation permitted by the administration of the USA, which had foreknowledge of the operation yet remained intentionally unresponsive in order to make war against Afghanistan and Iraq.”
“To put it briefly, the 9/11 events were an instance of the strategy of tension enacted by political and economic powers in the USA to seek advantages for the oil and arms industries,” wrote Imposimato.
Imposimato is no stranger to high-profile cases, having served on the Anti-Mafia Commission during three different administrations, investigating the assassination of Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro along with the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II.
In calling the 9/11 attacks an instance of the strategy of tension, or strategia della tensione, Imposimato is linking them to the decades of brutal violence carried out by Western intelligence agencies and their agents throughout the Mediterranean.
This is no minor accusation, evidenced by the quite powerful statements made condemning Gladio contained in the European Parliament resolution on Gladio, which passed on November 22, 1990.
Even though the resolution, “Condemns the clandestine creation of manipulative and operational networks and Calls for a full investigation into the nature, structure, aims and all other aspects of these clandestine organizations or any splinter groups,” a full investigation was never truly carried out.
Imposimato brought up several facts which prove highly problematic for the government’s official account of the events of September 11, 2001, including the clearly abnormal collapse of World Trade Center Building 7.
Imposimato also pointed to the fact that there were reports of the CIA meeting with Osama Bin Laden, the man allegedly behind the attacks, in July of 2001. It is also important to point out that Bin Laden was once a CIA asset and worked closely with Zbigniew Brzezinski.

Two ships from the China Marine Surveillance (CMS) – a paramilitary maritime law enforcement agency – were dispatched to the tiny archipelago in the South China Sea “to assert the country’s sovereignty,” the official Chinese Xinhua News Agency said Tuesday.
Xinhua said the vessels had reached the waters around the Diaoyu Islands — known in Japan as the Senkaku Islands —and would take the necessary measures to deal with “the development of the situation.”
Chinese Defense Ministry Spokesman Geng Yansheng vowed the “government and armed forces stand firm and are unshakeable in their determination and will safeguard sovereignty over the nation's territories."
"We are watching the evolution of the situation closely and reserve the right to take reciprocal measures," he continued.

Blood-Crazed Muslims Drag Body Of US Ambassador Stevens Through Streets Of Libya
This is what Islam is all about, paying attention yet?
“The sweetest sound I know is the Muslim call to prayer” – Barack Hussein Obama
Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed Tuesday night when he and a group of embassy employees went to the consulate to try to evacuate staff as the building came under attack by a mob with guns and rocket propelled grenades.
RELIGION OF PEACE: Amateur photograph of the body of Ambassador Chris Stevens posted to ahram.org.eg
The State Department said Tuesday that one American was killed in the attack. It has not confirmed the other deaths.
The main stream media is DESPERATELY trying to make you think that these are photos of “compassionate Muslims taking Ambassador Stevens to the hospital”. Does it look like that to YOU?
The attacks in Benghazi and Cairo were the first such assaults on U.S. diplomatic facilities in either country, at a time when both Libya and Egypt are struggling to overcome the turmoil following the ouster of their longtime authoritarian leaders, Muammar Qadhafi and Hosni Mubarak, in uprisings last year. source – Daily Caller

Barak Prepares Fighter Pilot For Attack On Iran
Barak in Pep Talk with F-15 Pilots: Be Sharp
No mention of Iran, but Defense Minister's toast to F-15 pilots leaves little doubt what he meant.
By Gil Ronen
Barak with IDF, IAF chiefs at Tel Nof
Israel news photo:
Defense Minister Ehud Barak raised a toast to the Jewish New Year in an IAF F-15 squadron hangar – in what may be a hint of things to come, and a possible message to Iran that it is not safe from attack. While he never mentioned Iran's name, his words left little doubt what he was referring to.
In the course of the ceremony at Tel Nof IAF base, Barak said: "We have experiences huge tectonic shifts in the entire region in the past year. These shifts create challenges that are among the most complex we have ever faced – both from very close range and from very far away – and these challenges create a need to act and to be ready for action.
"You are here, the Air Force in general and the Double Tail squadron that sits here in these hangars in particular, at the spear's tip of the State of Israel's ability to act at any range."
Barak said that the political tier sees as part of its responsibility to ensure that if wars can be delayed they will be, and if they are embarked upon it is only after all other options have been exhausted, "but we do not live in western Europe and not in North America, this is really a harsh environment, it really is 'a villa in a jungle' and there are hostile forces around us as well
"
"The state of Israel in general, the Air Force in particular and this squadron, need and must be highly alert at all times, sharp, determined, precise, so that if there is a necessity to act, we will act and succeed."
"We, myself included, as well as the senior commanders and the citizens of Israel, have faith in you, that if there is indeed a need to act, you will take action and win."
The IAF used F-16 fighters to bomb the Iraqi nuclear plant in 1981, while F-15s circled overhead and provided security.
