The ongoing fluoridation saga

I have received a reply - if a rather predictable one - from the Department of Health in response to my letter to Alan Johnson on the 5th of February on the fluoridation of public water supplies in England, reproduced below.





Here is my response. The link to the critique mentioned in the letter can be found at http://www.fluoridealert.org/york-critique.htm

Dear Mr Demitris

Fluoridation of water supplies

Many thanks for your reply to my letter dated 5 February in which you state your department’s position regarding the fluoridation of water in England.

Unfortunately, your comments in no way ameliorate my concerns regarding this initiative.

Although you say that no ill-effects of water fluoridation have been identified in the UK, using the University of York’s review to substantiate that assertion, I would like to draw your attention to the enclosed critique of that review by Paul Connett, PhD which highlights that review's many shortfalls and its exclusion of animal and toxicological studies in its compilation of evidence. (See item 2.8 in that critique).

It is the wider implications and dangers of water fluoridation that concerns me most and appears to be largely absent from the York review. Although the maintenance of 1ppm of fluoride in our drinking water is to be the applied benchmark, its introduction and maintenance at that level will filter through into all our beverages and processed foodstuffs and it is this multiplier effect that is most worrying. 1ppm may not effect those who drink little but will have a much greater effect on those who habitually drink more - tea (which already includes natural levels of fluoride) and beer drinkers for example, or those in heavy manual jobs that need to re-hydrate themselves on a regular basis. Why should they necessarily have to incur the cost of buying bottled water to avoid running the risk of imbibing higher amounts of fluoride?

Since your department’s whole premise for the introduction of fluoride in water supplies is to combat the reduction in tooth decay, then why, as suggested by Nobel Laureate, Dr. Arvid Carlsson, cannot topical treatment be provided. Teeth are easily accessible to such treatment.

I also find it quite amazing that you are pressing ahead with such an initiative when your department admits that it is still instigating further research into the effects of fluoridation. Surely this is the wrong way round. (See 2.5 - 2.7 in critique).

Let me conclude by listing just a few of the scientific developments that have been noted in 2007 regarding concerns over the collateral damage that water fluoridation may and is believed to be responsible for.

1. Impairment of brain development
In 2007 research was conducted in Brazil, China, India, Italy, Mexico and the US all of which strengthened concern previously raised by the US National Research Council the previous year. According to the authors “We found that exposure to F (fluoride) in urine was associated with reduced Performance, Verbal, and Full IQ scores before and after adjusting for confounders. The same pattern was observed for models with F in water as the exposure variable.... The individual effect of F in urine indicated that for each mg increase of F in urine a decrease of 1.7 points in Full IQ might be expected”.

2. Links to skeletal fluorosis
Since the 1930s, the link between too much fluoride intake and stiff and painful joints has been known. Although the symptoms can mimic other forms of arthritis more research is required to establish the true source of such complaints in the knowledge that excess fluoride can be a cause. A lifetime’s intake of fluoridated water and other beverages could be problematic, particularly in the elderly. As one ages the ability of the liver to discharge toxins becomes impaired, thus their greater retention having an increasingly deleterious effect on bones.

3. Silicofluorides may increase lead exposure
Last year, scientists at the University of North Carolina demonstrated that when brass water pipes containing lead were submerged in water simultaneously containing chlorine and fluoride, the leeching effect of the pipe’s lead content was increased causing increased toxification of the water supply. Although the tests were conducted with fluoride added at 2ppm, even at 1ppm - the recommended level - the leeching effect would still be tangible.

4. Fluoridation linked to sperm damage
Subjecting rats to fluoride concentrations of 10ppm have shown to seriously effect their sperm levels. Since rats are particularly resilient to fluoride it is thought that an equivalent human concentration - 2ppm - may affect humans similarly.

5. Effects of fluoride on the pineal gland
Dr Jennifer Luke of the University of Surrey has discovered that the pineal gland is the primary target of fluoride accumulation. "In conclusion, the human pineal gland contains the highest concentration of fluoride in the body. Fluoride is associated with depressed pineal melatonin synthesis by prepubertal gerbils and an accelerated onset of sexual maturation in the female gerbil. The results strengthen the hypothesis that the pineal has a role in the timing of the onset of puberty. Whether or not fluoride interferes with pineal function in humans requires further investigation."

These are just some of the many areas in which further research is needed. Is it worth subjecting whole populations to these possible, and in some cases, very likely ill-effects for the sake of a small minority of society who cannot, or will not, engage in basic human hygiene?

I believe that it should be the responsibility of parents to ensure that their children look after their teeth without resorting to a state recommendation that everyone should have their water fluoridated.

Until there is a sound and honest verdict given, based on rational and scientific evaluation of the benefits and dis-benefits of fluoride in our water supplies, I believe that any further moves to fluoridate them should be suspended.

Yours sincerely

Latest from the NO2ID

The number of people deeply troubled by the spectre of ID cards is rising. A Joseph Rowntree survey showed that those who are very concerned has grown from 17% last year to 25%. Overall, those who consider ID cards to be a bad idea now has just begun to outweigh those who are unconcerned.

Bridport Town Council in Dorset has passed a motion against the government’s ID scheme, agreeing not to take part in any pilot scheme or feasibility programme but would draw the line at unlawful un-cooperation. Not good enough!

The EU is looking at an entry-exit system using biometric identifiers, for each third-country national admitted to the Schengen area (those 25 countries within the EU where borders have been effectively eliminated). As the UK is outside of the Schengen area, implementation of this agreement could require all UK residents wishing to travel to mainland Europe to be subject to these biometric checks. Coercion into this scheme of biometric checks could start - according to the EU’s Justice Commissioner, Franco Frattini - on a ‘voluntary’ basis. But Frattini is believed to favour border surveillance levels to be at least equal to, if not in excess of those used in the US.

According to a poll conducted by the government’s Identity and Passport Service and reported by the Daily Mail shows that less than 25% of those questioned believe that the ID card scheme will work.

Every child in Britain is to have their exam results registered on a national database for life.

More evidence of official inability to safeguard confidential information. Now the NHS admits to having lost some four thousand smartcards which are used to access its computer systems.

The Guardian newspaper has published two articles within a week of each other over its acute concern of Britain repidly becoming a surveillance state and is calling for its halt. Over quarter of a million intrusions of private citizens were recorded last year. According to one correspondent “When the Stasi started spying on me, as I moved around East Germany 30 years ago, I travelled (to Britain) on the assumption that I was coming from one of the freest countries in the world to one of the least free. I don't think I was wrong then, but I would certainly be wrong now”. We are sleepwalking into a surveillance society, and we must wake up".

Reactionary police state news continues to roll in. The latest ‘initiative’ is the ‘mosquito’, a high-frequency sound device that creates discomfort to under 25s when used.

The idea is to use the device to break up anti-social behaviour, but, as always, when dealing with social disbehaviour, reactionary measures always predominate and no thought is given to attempting to solve the root of the problem. This indiscriminating device, although, I would suspect is highly directional, would, nevertheless unnecessarily cause discomfort to innocent children in the vicinity and I would also guess that its medical effects, especially if repeatedly used, just haven’t been considered.

Of course, it doesn’t take a PhD to realise that reactionary measures such as these only further alienate those who are targeted and drive larger wedges between elements of society instead of creating co-operation - more draconian doctrine from the divide and rule camp.

The Children's Commissioner for England and the civil liberties group Liberty, are calling for them to be scrapped. They are rightfully concerned that there is an increasingly negative attitude being adopted by authorities in dealing with social problems.

Michigan State Police have just released a preposterous video entitled ‘7 Signs of Terrorism’ to encourage ‘snitching’ upon those who may seems to be indulging in terrorist acts. This has all of the Orwellian hallmarks of the ‘Youth League’ doctrine of spying on those who don’t fall into line, and owes nothing to those who commit genuine terrorism like the CIA or FBI who stage such terrorist activities usually designed as a prelude to eventually usher in this very same Orwellian dictat. If taken seriously it could just about incriminate everyone. When I take my camera to the States in a few weeks time and decide to take a few photos in public places I may well be setting myself up for a bit of trouble!

Medicine - the number one killer?

In the current issue of Nexus magazine is a revealing article by biochemist and toxicologist, Walter Last. He shows how iatrogenic diseases (diseases caused by medical treatment) are the leading cause of death in the West. With an annual fatality rate in the US of 783,936 in 2001, caused by fatal drug reactions, medical errors or unnecessary medical and surgical procedures, this outstripped the death rate caused from heart disease and cancer in the same year.
Ironically, when doctors went on strike in Los Angeles county in 1976, the death rate fell by 18% and in 1973 in Israel a similar strike saw the number of deaths during that period reduce by a staggering 50%!

Last discusses the pioneering work done by Dr Orian Truss in the early 50s in which he saw a direct correlation between candisiasis - a fungal over-growth in the intestines that can cause food allergies, muscle aches and many other eventually fatal complications - and antibiotics.

Antibiotics are widely prescribed among the medical profession and aren’t the only ones to cause such problems. Drugs used in chemotherapy, anti-inflammatory steroidal and other long-term drug therapies can have an equally debilitating effect on patients which can also eventually result in death.

Last explains that under normal conditions the body produces natural amounts of intestinal flora, mainly based on lactobacteria, which helps in the digestion of food and at the same time protects the body from harmful bacteria, such as salmonella. This ability is severely compromised when these drugs are continually administered and candida establishes itself as a result. This process is known as dysbiosis. “With chronic dysbiosis, the intestinal wall becomes inflamed, causing ulcers, appendicitis, malabsorption and Crohn’s disease and as the intestinal membrane erodes, the patient develops multiple food allergies, arthritis and autoimmune diseases”, Last adds. The vicious cycle is exacerbated by the medical profession’s preference to administer more antibiotics in an erroneous attempt to treat these conditions.


The good old days

Although, back in the early 1900s, diets were often high in saturated fats, heart attacks were rare, contrary to present-day philosophy. The ascent of heart attacks and cardiovascular disease began with the pasteurisation of milk and the use of chlorine in water supplies to kill bacteria. It seems that these preventative measures to kill off natural bacteria in both milk and water had prevented a natural line of defence in our bodies derived from such bacteria. In countries such as Africa, China, Japan and other parts of Asia where the chlorination of water and pasteurising of milk were not introduced, heart attacks and cardiovascular diseases were unknown.

Also back in the last half of the nineteenth century, scarlet fever, diptheria, whooping cough and measles had declined by 90% following improvements in public health and before the introduction of vaccines. These very vaccines have, however, brought with them an increase in the death rate from the targeted diseases as well as some cot deaths with immunised babies. The presence of toxic heavy metals in vaccines have also been connected to the rise in autism and Attention Deficiency Disorders. The Amish in America, who refuse vaccinations, suffer from none of these.



Until 1980, the rates of type 2 diabetes and obesity were fairly uncommon and stable. But when health authorities started to advise against eating foods containing fats and cholesterol, recommending instead, a higher intake of carbohydrates - exacerbated by a food industry peddling such badies - obesity and associated type 2 diabetes increased from just 15% among the US population in 1980 to a chronically obese rate of 31% today, and if one adds the marginally obese, that figure rises to almost 65%.


Chemical cocktails

One of the main problems with the introduction of new drugs is that they are not tested for long enough. With continual administering the accumulative effect of many drugs can be devastating whereas their short-term use may be acceptable. Many people can find themselves prescribed a whole plethora of different drugs for different complaints and it is the mixing of such medications which is rarely, if ever, examined. Several years on a cocktail of drugs can create an entanglement of effects, almost impossible to unravel.


Natural is best

Many proven natural cancer treatments have been traditionally shunned by conventional medical science and alternative health practitioners who offer such remedies have often being brought before the courts and imprisoned.

The driving force behind this rejection of natural health remedies, not just with cancer but with many other diseases, is the drug cartel lobby that virtually runs our health services in the West. Not only do they have a strong influence in directing doctor’s to prescribe their, at best doubtful and at worst harmful wares but also direct and fund clinical research, whose reports weigh heavily in favour of their products while rubbishing the claims of alternative natural practitioners products and claims. This big pharma influence also begins in the medical schools whose students are unknowingly influenced with biased teaching.

The message one gleans from Last’s evidence is clear. Eat and live healthily, sourcing natural remedies wherever possible, rendering your GP and hospital as a last resort.

Dear Sir

Fluoridation of water supplies

It is with regret that I read in the press this week of the renewed intiative from your department to fluoridate mains water supplies in areas in England with the highest rates of tooth decay.

The reason given - that it would help safeguard the teeth of children who do not regularly brush their teeth - is the most disingenuous argument I have heard on any subject for many years and its naivety beggars belief. For decades now, a mass of evidence has existed in the public domain of the dangers of fluoridating water and the highly negative effects on the body that this poisonous toxin has when imbibed constantly over many years.

Must we all be subjected to its ill-effects on the basis that certain parents are incapable of ensuring that their children clean their teeth or that they cannot afford the price of a tooth brush! Extensive and proven research has shown that dental decay is more a matter of bad diet and fluoridating water supplies does nothing in arresting decay and in the long term poses far greater dangers to the well-being of those that are constantly subject to it.

I enclose just a mere fraction of the evidence posted on the Internet and also draw your attention to Christopher Bryson’s well-researched book on the subject ‘The Fluoride Deception’ published by the Seven Stories Press.

Such niave reasoning behind introducing fluoridation into England’s water supplies, only leads me to believe that there is another agenda at work here, either generated by the industries who benefit from the disposal of this toxic waste, or something more fearful. Was not the fluoridation of water first introduced to the inmates of Auschwitz by IG Farben. I’m sure that wasn’t for altruistic reasons!

The US primaries - it's a stitch-up!

Clinton’s fortunes seem to have clearly reversed in New Hampshire despite a pre-polling deficit defeat recorded by Zogby, showing Obama leading Clinton by 13%. She has now beaten him, while Ron Paul, whose pre-polling statistics showed 10% of the resident’s votes in Sutton, New Hampshire, has gained not a single vote in the elections there. Like the previous presidential elections, the whole thing seems to be a complete fraud, with Clinton the pre-selected horse, while all the others complete a supporting cast in a phoney so-called democratic process and those that have something truly worthy to say, like Paul, are effectively silenced and ignored.

But it only gets worse.


Fraud uncovered as we speak!

Following pressure from voters in the small township of Sutton, New Hampshire who voted for Ron Paul and were miffed by the fact that not one vote was recorded against his name, Jennifer Call, the town clerk of Sutton, had to confirm that Ron Paul did get 31 votes despite the fact that none were officially recorded. Officials made the lame excuse that it was a ‘mistake’. Oh yes!

Bev Harris of BlackBoxVoting.org, an independent organisation funded by voluntary public donations, reports that the Diebold voting system in use in Sutton is run by LHS Associates. Its Vice President is Jon Silvestro, who has been a convicted for cocaine trafficking!

But let Bev Harris take up the story of her research into some of the corruption and fraud in just one US electronic polling organisation and you’ll soon realise how rigging elections in the US can be easy to carry out with many polling companies being run by government-funded crooks and felons with little or no accountability.

Last fall, with the help of some New Hampshire citizens, Black Box Voting began working on a "New Hampshire Chain of Custody" project, in which we identified some of the areas of concern that might affect many jurisdictions at once. First on the list is LHS Associates, a vendor with inside access to every memory card in New Hampshire, as well as to the chips containing the "brain" of the Diebold optical scan machines.

LHS Associates programs all the memory cards in New Hampshire and Connecticut; about all of Vermont's voting machines, and has a lock on almost all of Massachusetts as well.


RARE VIDEO FOOTAGE

In an unusual confluence of available video, we obtained footage of Silvestro grappling with Harri Hursti, the master hacker who had his way with the Diebold optical scans in Leon County, Florida in the famous exploit that was showcased in the film Hacking Democracy.
The exact same make, model and version hacked in the Black Box Voting project in Leon County is used throughout New Hampshire, where about 45 percent of elections administrators hand count paper ballots at the polling place, with the remaining locations all using the Diebold version 1.94w optical scan machine. Because the voting machine locations tend to be urban, this represents about 81 percent of the New Hampshire voters.

The video shows Harri Hursti testifying on Sept. 19 before the New Hampshire legislature, attempting to explain significant vulnerabilities requiring urgent mitigations; throughout his testimony, Silvestro inserted his own comments, opinions, misstatements and speculations.


VOTING MACHINE CHECKUP

One area of disagreement between Hursti and Silvestro was the amount of expertise needed to exploit the Diebold 1.94w optical scan system. Silvestro claimed (in a strange contortion of reasoning) that he doesn't hire very skilled programmers, implying that this makes New Hampshire elections more secure.

Hursti pointed out that hiring programmers with a lack of knowledge is generally not considered a security feature, and also that an average high schooler can learn to exploit the system in two days to two weeks.


WE THINK IT DOESN'T TAKE THAT LONG

Black Box Voting purchased a Diebold optical scan with 1.94w firmware, and chose a computer repair shop out of the phone book, took it in, grabbed the first available technician. It took him less than 10 minutes to zero in on the memory card as a point of critical vulnerability -- and oh my, did he point out some other interesting things!


NEW HAMPSHIRE HASN'T UPGRADED SYSTEM SECURITY

Silvestro tries to claim that the security problems have been fixed in newer editions. Whether or not they have been, it's a moot point in New Hampshire where the upgrade is not made unless the Ballot Law Commission meets, and they have not met for ages.

Silvestro then points to extraordinary measures taken by other states to enact special procedural safeguards, but of course none of those were implemented in New Hampshire either, because the Ballot Law Commission has not bothered to meet since March 2006.


IN FACT, NEW HAMPSHIRE HAS NOT IMPLEMENTED MITIGATIONS FOR KNOWN RISKS

Not only that, they have turned all the programming over to a sole source private company, taking vote counting for 81 percent of New Hampshire citizens out of the public domain.
LHS is not subject to public records requirements, as the government is, at least, not in New Hampshire. The control over memory card contents is absolute; when cards malfunction or get lost, LHS brings the replacements.

Here is the YouTube video containing various footage taken by Black Box Voting and New Hampshire citizens:






CONTROL OVER THE "BRAINS" OF THE MACHINE: ACCESS TO THE CHIP

Since LHS maintains the machines, repairs the machines, and replaces the machines -- often on Election Day -- when they malfunction, they have intimate access to the chips, sockets, ports, communications devices and other electronic components.

Silvestro stated that the chip has "read only memory" and cannot be reprogrammed without frying it under ultraviolet light overnight.

Hursti never had a chance to examine the hardware, nor have most of the recent university studies had access. But our friendly neighborhood computer repair guy differed with Silvestro on the point of plug & play reprogramming of the guts of the machine.

After I push the button to send this message out to the media and the citizenry, I'll work on getting a short YouTube video of the Accuvote checkup by our local computer repairman. And before you say, "But wait! He's not a world class expert!" -- That's just the point.
He may hit or miss on some of his analyses. You'll all be able to try your hand at second guessing him as soon as the video is up. But if he hits even one of his ideas for how to exploit the machine to steal votes, that's all it takes. From someone who is not, certainly, a world class hacker or even a hacker at all.

WARNING: vitamins could endanger your health...

... or so EU food supplementation legislation suggests.

There is a growing amount of evidence to show that vitamin and mineral deficiency is a growing problem among the population of the EU. In the UK alone, 3.6 million people are now clinically described as suffering from malnutrition, a condition which costs the NHS £7.3 billion annually. With further estimates suggesting that up to 6% of the population in Britain now suffer from serious vitamin and mineral deficiencies, it comes as something of an absurdity that the EU has, since the turn of this century, made a distinct move to make those badly-needed vitamins and minerals more difficult to acquire.

As part of a legal harmonisation across our growing European ‘superstate’, the nutritional content of our foods, mineral and vitamin supplements are now controlled by a plethora of legislation.

In 2005 the British government forced through parliament the EU’s Food Supplements Directive outlawing an estimated 5,000 vitamin and mineral supplements and making it illegal for any shopkeeper to stock them.


The EU Food Supplements Directive

Although the Food Supplements Directive (FSD) could be seen as an attempt to draw a clear line between what should be considered as natural sources of nutrients and that which should be considered to be pharmaceutical in nature, it effectively bans the use of a great number of proven natural vitamins and minerals while ‘dumbing down’ others.

Currently the FSD relies on a ‘positive list’ of supplements that it has drawn up which largely comprise of synthetic vitamins and inorganic minerals, and anything not on that list is effectively banned. While there does exist a derogated list of more natural vitamins and minerals which are in the ‘pending tray’ so to speak, it is feared that many of these may be outlawed and end up on the banned list by 2009.

These are just a very few of the large number of vitamins and minerals excluded from the FSD ‘positive list’.
Boron - all forms - required for absorbtion of calcium
Vitamin E - the naturally occurring tocopherols and tocotrienols - these are antioxidants which protect against damage by free radicals associated with cancer and other degenerative diseases
Calcium - in 23 food forms - good for bones, teeth and cell function
Chromium - in 17 forms - for balancing blood sugar levels in diabetics
Magnesium - in 30 forms - for healthy bones and teeth
Potassium - in 21 forms - good for maintaining healthy blood pressure and heart beat
Silica - all forms - working in conjunction with boron, calcium and other minerals it maintains the wellbeing of bones, arteries, connective tissue, hair, skin and nails
Selenium - in 14 forms - an antioxidant which is important for heart function and a health immune response

The FSD not only dictates what nutrients can be added into food supplements, but it also dictates the maximum allowable dosages. It is these Maximum Permitted Levels (MPLs) that have been arrived at on a risk assessment basis that is unnecessarily restrictive, drawing a line that is too low and only allowing dosages which are very often too small to be of any real benefit to the recipient. For instance, the MPL for beta-carotene is being set so low that it is less than you would consume in two carrots! If the authorities believe that dosages higher than this are harmful then should there not be a limit on the number of carrots we eat (ie two) or any other food in which these ‘capped’ supplements are naturally found in abundance? Since when has taking vitamins and nutrients in doses large or small been harmful to man? Below is a diagram showing relative mortality risks. As you can see death by nutrients is virtually nil.




A partial answer to the seeming irrationality of the FSD provisions appears to come from the...


The Nutrition and Health Claims Regulation

This piece of legislation in its most positive light, appears to straighten out the business of erroneous medicinal claims made by manufacturers of supplements. Subtending from this will be two types of claim which can be made: generic claims and disease reduction (and childrens’ health) claims. These claims have to be approved by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and in the case of the disease reduction claims, very expensive and onerous data requirements are required making the granting of a claim out of reach for many small to medium-sized manufacturers which would include very many of the pioneering natural health businesses. It is feared that these key producers of highly beneficial alternative and effective homeopathic products would be put out of business, clearing the way for the large multi-nationals and drug cartels to further dominate while producing dumbed down supplements, no doubt at maximum profit for what will be ineffectual products. And, of course, if you decide to double or triple the dosage in order to get some benefit from their low-strength concoctions you only end up giving them more profit!

When one looks at this side of the legislation the contradictions of what has been stated above take on a rather unsavoury nature and in my view clarify a lot of what the EU is really all about - centralised control by mega-corporations under the auspices of a totalitarian regime!


The Alliance for Natural Health (ANH)

The ANH which represents these smaller and alternative producers of natural health foods and supplements has been lobbying the European authorities on this very issue for several years. It is currently urging the EU to reconsider key elements of this legislation and the EU's trend to allow centuries-old natural remedies in effective dosages to become only available through a doctor's prescription. This will only allow further concentration the monopoly of big pharma and state regulate people's rights to choose nutrients that will keep them healthy.

I urge you to support ANHs work and also by writing to your MEP expressing your concern over the diminishing ability of our choice to live a healthy life.

The news you don't hear

Each year the Project Censored Team at Sonoma State University in California publishes a list of those stories selected from literally thousands in the US that received little or no coverage in the mainstream media for that year.

When one considers the immense importance that each of these stories carry in terms of our and other’s daily lives, it really brings home the way in which that same mainstream media is conditioned to deny us access to the truth.

Clearly, we are meant to remain ignorant of these controversial issues, for if they did become mainstream knowledge there would surely be a hue and cry and shouts of outrage from very many quarters.

Nexus magazine publishes these stories each year, here are the top twenty for 2006/7.


1. The denial of Habeas Corpus

On October 17th 2006, Bush signed the Military Commissions Act, the provisions of which effectively suspend an individual’s right to appeal against wrongful arrest or detention that the provisions of Habeas Corpus provide. The Act institutes a military alternative to the constitutional justice system for ‘any person’, civilian or otherwise, regardless of American citizenship. This means that any US citizen can be legally regarded as ‘an enemy of the state’ and the judgment lies solely with Bush himself.


2. Martial Law provisions made

With the signing of the John Warner Defense Authorisation Act on the same day provision is now made to station military troops anywhere in the US who are then able to over-ride state-based National Guard troops without the consent of the state governor or local authorities, in order to ‘suppress public disorder’. This legislation completely rescinds the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act which places strict prohibition on US military involvement in domestic law enforcement.


3. Africa’s resources come under US Military control

The creation of the US African Command (AFRICOM) was announced by the White House in February of this year and will come into force in September 2008. Although conveniently presented as a humanitarian guard against the ‘War on Terror’, its real aim is to commandeer Africa’s oil resources and its global delivery systems. AFRICOM will be targeting African resistance groups who it claims are part of international ‘terrorist’ networks, but most of whom have a sole aim to rightfully proclaim these resources as their country's own and engage in free trade. This action is clearly another deliberate hindrance which would prevent African nations from creating their own wealth as a means to escape poverty and keeps their rich mineral wealth firmly in the control of the NWO/US juggernaut.


4. Destructive trade agreements

Neatly fitting in with AFRICOM’s aims are a plethora of US and EU destructive bi-lateral trade agreements which require enormous irreversible concessions from developing countries, while offering little or nothing in return. This will entail the US and EU dumping subsidised agricultural goods on underdeveloped countries denying them the ability to build their own self-sustaining agricultural programmes while at the same time denying those countries local farmers to be self-sufficient.


5. Forced labour used to build US Embassy in Iraq


The $592 million, 104-acre US Embassy, currently being built in Iraq will be as large as the Vatican City and will be the most heavily fortified embassy in the world. It is being constructed using forced labour trafficked from South Asia under US contracts. Thousands of citizens from countries that have been banned from travelling to or working in Iraq are being tricked by being smuggled by First Kuwait Trading and Contracting and Halliburton/Kellogg Brown Root into Iraq only to find themselves embroiled in inhumane labour camps and forced to months of forced servitude in the building site right in the middle of the ‘Green Zone’ and right under the nose of the US State Department!


6. Blackwater

That great vanguard of the NWO and the most powerful mercenary firm in the World, Blackwater, is to receive over half a billion dollars in federal contracts, allowing the company under its head neo-con supremacist Erik Prince, to bolster his private army of 20,000 soldiers, helicopter gunships and private intelligence division. The benefit of this enhanced Blackwater empire to the Bush administration is to be able to co-opt its troops which have almost no oversight or effective legal constraints, are politically expedient and whose death toll goes uncounted in official figures. This all amounts to an undisclosed covert expansion of Iraq’s occupation.


7. Operation FALCON


Seen as part of Bush’s positioning for martial law, FALCON (Federal and Local Cops Organized Nationally) have been busily engaged in staging heavy-handed dragnet raids across the US, arresting over 30,000 so-called ‘fugitives’ - the worst of the worst criminals on the run, particularly sex offenders. Yet, of the numbers arrested less than 10% were suspected as being sex offenders and less than 2% owned firearms. The question that has failed to be asked in the mainstream media is why were the other 90% arrested and why has no formal announcement been made as to whether they have been charged or released.


8. Indo-US Knowledge Initiative on Agriculture (KIA)

As many as 28,000 Indian farmers have committed suicide over the last decade because of the debt incurred from failed GM crops and competition from subsidised US crop imports. Yet in March 2006 Bush and Indian Prime Minister Singh signed the KIA which is backed by Monsanto, Archer Daniels Midland and Wal-Mart which will allow a land grab of India’s seed business and of its retail sector. Wal-Mart is already opening, 500 stores across the sub-continent, compounding the distress among the country’s farmers and threatening the loss of livelihood for 14 million small vendors, damaging India’s self-sufficiency and food security.


9. US infrastructure sold off

More than 20 states in the US have have enacted legislation to sell off public highways at knock down prices to private companies as toll roads for the maximum return on their investments. Many of these agreements come with ‘noncomplete’ clauses which limit state governments from expanding or improving adjacent non-privatised roads, eventually forcing drivers to use the privatised ones.


10. Vulture funds threaten third-world debt relief

Otherwise known as ‘distressed-debt investors’, vulture funds are undermining attempts to relieve impoverished third-world nations who have become burdened by unpayable debt to international bank loans. These debts, which are deemed near default and unpayable, are bought up by financial organisations who pay the original investor mere pennies on the dollar for the debt then go after the debtor in court. Most of these vulture funds have strong ties to powerful world leaders and many to the Bush administration giving them virtually financial immunity as their political influence greatly out weighs the poor nations they are suing.


11. The reconstruction of Afghanistan myth

It is estimated that less than 20% of funds destined for the reconstruction of Afghanistan actually end up being used for that purpose. Because of the ‘rigged’ way that IMF, World Bank and USAID loans operate, much of the money ends up being returned to those organisations thereby failing to benefit the countries to which they are supposedly destined. Furthermore, much of the construction contracts do not go to Afghan contractors but to the likes of Kellogg, Brown & Root, Halliburton, DynCorp, Blackwater and other consortia in bed with the same people allied to those finance organisations.


12. More UN massacres

As with Bosnia and elsewhere, eyewitness testimony confirms that UN troops massacred over 30 people including women and children in Haiti’s Cité Soleil in retaliation for a mass demonstration of 10,000 people demanding the return of former President Aristide in the light of the foreign military occupation of their country.


13. US gains cheap labour from immigrant round-ups

As a deliberate attempt to undermine Mexican farmers by flooding the country with cheap American imports under NAFTA agreements, some two million farmers have been bankrupted resulting in an influx of Mexican migrants into the US. There they have become an important factor in the low-income end of the workplace, often replacing US union-based labour and since 9/11 many of these ’illegal’ immigrants have been ‘rounded up’ under an anti-terrorist guise but really intended as a means of creating a strong non-union immigrant workforce.



14. US war crime immunity

Hidden in the Military Commissions Act, already mentioned, is a clause which re-defines ‘torture’, removing some of the most harshest techniques used from the definition of ‘war crimes under the Geneva War Crimes Act, effectively re-writing that Act’s safeguards. These exemptions will be back-dated to November 1997 thus exonerating the actions of Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush should any sworn testimonies by inmates from Abu Ghraib come to light in a court of law, which, without this clause would hold them guilty.


15. Effects of toxic exposure could be passed on to our offspring

In a new field of genetic research called ‘epigenetics’, it has been found that exposure to toxic chemicals, both in our food and the environment, effect our genes and in turn can influence those of our offspring. On average 1,800 new chemicals are registered with the US federal government each year of which about just under half find their way into foods, detergents, cosmetics etc. without any real prior testing for health and environmental effects. Although the Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals (REACH) directive was adopted by the EU last year in an effort to ensure new chemicals are thoroughly tested before they are sold, there is no guarantee as to how closely chemical companies will adhere to these new restrictions putting at risk future generations wellbeing.



16. 9/11 and bin Laden - no connection identified



Why did the US invade Afghanistan to smoke out Bin Laden from his cave for his supposed links to 9/11 (not to mention the bombings of US embassies in Tanzania and Kenya) when he doesn’t even appear on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted poster. The truth of the matter is that the Bureau has no hard evidence of any connection between bin Laden and those atrocities according to Rex Tomb, the FBI’s Head of Investigative Publicity. This comes despite Rumsfeld’s claims just after 9/11 that ‘there was no doubt of bin Laden’s responsibility for the 9/11 attacks'.


17. Military and Corporate contamination of water

Despite the 1972 Clean Water Act, Americans suffer increasingly polluted water supplies, thanks to the Bush administration’s circumvention of the act’s provisions. A Public Interest Research Group report entitled ‘Troubled Waters: An Analysis of Clean Water Act Compliance’ published in July 2006 shows that between July 2003 and December 2004 more than 62% of industrial and municipal facilities discharged pollutants into US waterways that are way above the prescribed limit. Furthermore, the US Department of Defense has received exemptions from the act with the results of increased disposal of trichloroethylene, into public aquifers, a toxin which has known links to kidney cancer, autoimmune disease and impaired neurological functions.


18. Mexico’s rigged election

With Felipe Caulderón of the conservative PAN party the ‘desired’ candidate in Mexico’s 2006 presidential elections, overwhelming evidence of a fraudulent and a ‘rigged’ campaign have come to light. Although it is illegal for the US to influence elections in other countries, companies such as Wal-Mart and Halliburton have been financing Mexican TV ad campaigns to denigrate the more liberal opposition candidate, Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador who wanted to ensure that the country’s oil industry remained in national hands. Although good for Mexico, such a move would violate the Security and Prosperity of North American (ASPAN) accord signed in 2005 by former president Vicente Fox, the US and Canada in establishing a North American Union. In order for this multi-lateral agreement to move forward without public opposition, pro-ASPAN Caulderón’s ascendancy to power is viewed as essential in an election that was riddled with arithmetical errors in his favour.


19. South American backlash to the neo-con agenda

The US ‘free trade’ model with its vanguards, the IMF and World Bank, are being increasingly shunned by South American countries. Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Nicaragua and Venezuela have all managed, thanks to profits from foreign sales of their natural resources, to pay off all of their IMF debts contrary to that organisation’s predictions. The leaders of each country have vowed not to further engage in any relationship with the IMF, break ties with the US and their privatisation plans for each country’s natural resources and instead use the profits from these publicly-owned assets for the benefit of each respective country and its people.


20. Definitions of ‘Terrorism’ broadened to include animal rights activists

In a bill that was passed with only 6 out of 435 congresspersons present, The Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) has broadened the definition of terrorist acts to those who protest the abuse of animal rights. Dozens of organisations have registered their protest against the bill and its rather ‘vague wording’ saying that it violates First Amendment rights, including demonstrations, leafleting and undercover investigations.

7/7 What really happened?

As we will never receive a true, official statement or expect a transparent investigation into what happened on the 7th of July 2005 and the London bombings, the onus has to be on those who make a rigorous and honest effort to piece the evidence together and draw considered conclusions.

Courtesy of Muab 'Dib, I received this morning a link to this well documented and concise compilation of all the existing and substantiated evidence of the events leading up to and on the day of 7 July 2005.

I suggest that Muab's account of events on this video come closer to the truth of what really happened on that fateful day than any official account from government sources will ever provide.

Consider the evidence presented in this documentary and I think you will agree that this seminal event, along with 9/11, clearly shows that the 'terrorist threat', to which we are daily reminded and warned to be vigilant of, is a giant hoax perpetrated by government for the real purpose of introducing draconian legislation that restrict our freedoms of speech and are used as excuses to incarcerate us in a surveillance society in 'our own interests of security'.

It seems that the true terrorists are not Muslim extremists but our own governments.

Russo and Rockefeller

Last August, award-winning film-maker and political activist, Aaron Russo died of cancer at the age of 64. He is best remembered for his box office hits ‘Trading Places’ and ‘The Rose’ which won three Golden Circle awards in 1980. He was also remembered for bringing Bette Midler to fame and introducing the band Led Zeppelin to the US.

But it was his brush with the improprieties of the law during his early entrepreneurial years in Chicago that guided his career towards incisive political activism. As a club owner in the Windy City he was soon made aware of the mafia-like protection rackets being run by the city’s police department and his obligations to this organised racket gave him a rude introduction to the dark malpractices going on at the top.

Later in his life Russo turned to politics while producing films that were highly critical of government policies, and it was these activities that brought him into contact with Nick Rockefeller of the grand Illuminati Rockefeller family whose accumulated power has made them a leading hidden force in world politics. Their relationship gathered apace, but soon a growing rift in their world-views was evident as Russo became aware of the cold-blooded, superior attitude of the Rockefellers and their distaste for much of humanity in general. It was clear that Rockefeller was trying to buy Russo into the privileged world of the Illuminati in order to deflect his public remonstrations against the New World Order, but Russo would have none of it.

In the video below, Russo recounts his life’s work, explain his indignation with the Federal Reserve, Federal taxes, the New World Order, but most poignantly, he provides a close and personal account of the mindset of just one member of those handful of infamous Illuminati families who are ultimately controlling for our lives. This makes chilling but essential viewing if we are to penetrate those minds and truly come to terms with our own predicament.

New ‘security’ measures will only achieve in our further incarceration

Today, Gordon Brown announced increased security measures in railway stations, airports and ports in the government’s continued attempts to tackle terrorist attacks.

The BBC reported that “There will be new security barriers, vehicle exclusion zones and blast resistant buildings... Rail travellers at large stations will also face having their bags screened”.

In the words of Alex Jones “Let’s stop right there”.

Firstly, is this terrorist threat real or just a ruse invented by our government? Any serious research into the events of 7/7 and 24/7 clearly indicate that the true perpetrators were our own governments, whose intelligence agencies were using ‘patsies’ to carry out their dirty deeds. Moreover, the many stories of attempted bombings and would-be bombers very often invite derision because of their implausibility. The evidence is there in plenty, just go to the link below and find out for yourselves if you have your doubts. http://www.prisonplanet.com/archives/london/index.htm

Secondly, just what are baggage scans and inconveniencing hundreds of thousands of people at our railway stations going to achieve? Gordon Brown is obviously relying upon the unquestioning acquiescence of the British public if he thinks these measures will, in any way, deter a serious terrorist attack. With only 250 stations earmarked for heightened security checks, that leaves several thousand unchecked for the would-be terrorist to choose from. Are they going to check all those arriving at mainline stations by train? Are they going to police the thousands of miles of trackside throughout Britain or monitor provincial bus stations or, indeed, every square inch of the country? Of course not. The whole thing is totally preposterous, disingenuous and a gross insult to the British public.

Railway security spends more of its time harassing enthusiasts for taking photographs of trains than ever discovering terrorist plots. Airport security staff spend all of their time inconveniencing passengers by seizing their belongings and embarrassing them by having the old and infirm half undress in public as if they were enemies of the state.

We are denied transparent and fair inquiries into the seminal events of 9/11 and 7/7 and fobbed off with incredulous ‘official’ reports which gloss over the whole plethora of unanswered questions of what was supposed to have happened on those fateful days and are expected to then to believe that we are living in times of great danger from terrorism. Do we just take the government’s word for that?

Of course it has little or nothing to do with terrorism but everything to do with incarcerating us in a police state where we have to conform to these gross intrusions of our privacy, rights and mobility purely because Brown’s fascist government is carrying out the orders of a bunch of crazed and murderous New World Order élite.

Complain unceasingly to your MPs and don’t put up with it!

BBC in for more flak over 9/11 ‘documentary’

As the 9/11 Truth Movement’s message on both sides of the Atlantic gathers apace, news comes today of a British physicist and mechanical engineer, John A Blacker, who is calling the BBC to account for its shameful display of ‘yellow journalism’ in the form of the Conspiracy Files on 9/11 which was aired last February.

In a letter to the BBC, he cites a whole catalogue of distortions, omissions and bias in the hour-long documentary, which, to any conscientious 9/11 researcher, was a gross insult. I posted a blog shortly after its airing outlining my objections, relaying them by email to the BBC and was not alone as it enraged many.

Blacker has raised a pre-action protocol with the BBC in an attempt to settle out of court and at the same time get an assurance from the corporation that the programme will never be aired again and that the BBC might produce a redactive account of the documentary in which due creedance is paid to the whole gamut of inconsistencies in the 9/11 Commission’s report and the irrefutable evidence which exists that the buildings underwent pre-planned demolition with government knowledge and - indeed - involvement.

Having refused to set a date to meet with Mr Blacker to discuss the issue, a date has now been set by the BBC for a dialogue later this month. We await to see if the BBC issues an apology.

Given the high political importance that 9/11 had and continues to have on geopolitical decision making, resulting in our loss of freedoms, the Iraq and Afghan wars and the smoking gun of government collusion and outright lying that followed this seminal event, it is hardly likely that a straight-jacketed state-controlled BBC will do much more than grudgingly apologise.

Endgame? Not quite!

There can be a tendency among conspiracy documentarists to concentrate on the globalists’ agenda in a wholly daunting way and having just watched Alex Jones’ latest documentary, ‘Endgame’, I can understand the several comments I have heard from those who have also seen it in it’s entirety, that they felt ‘shocked’ ‘shaken’ and ‘depressed’ after watching it.

Make no mistake, ‘Endgame’ is a pioneering, very well researched and presented work even standing above Jones’ previous productions, by nature of its powerful and coherent message. And it’s all true. Having read other seminal works on eugenics and done much research into the other topics of global domination that Jones covers in this two and a half hour long documentary, I can vouch for the veracity of his observations and historical fact. (See the trailer below).





The problem is that after having sat out the 210 or so minutes of devastating truths of the past actions and future plans of this wildly outrageous cabal of global ‘murderers’ (for that is what they amount to) who rule our world, one ends up feeling either totally outraged and maddened or left feeling daunted and powerless.

It was heartening today to see footage shot by members of the ‘We are Change UK’ group of a Q&A session following a discussion at the London School of Economics entitled ‘Can We Trust Journalists With Public Security?’, by the infamous ex-MI6 head, Sir Richard Dearlove in which he was challenged by some very cogent questions from members of the audience (see below).



It will be recalled that Dearlove was principal author of ‘The Downing Street Memo’ that infamous missive in which he admits that “the facts and intelligence” about WMD were being “fixed round the policy” of a pre-planned invasion of Iraq.

It is confrontations from members of the public like this, in which they are posing genuine questions to someone who was directly implicated with spilling the blood of dead Iraqis, that are vital in our fight for accountability, transparency and justice. Dearlove was clearly rattled, despite his dismissive attitude towards those questioners, and, as a result, left the proceedings ahead of schedule.

World domination by a clique of crazed meglamaniacs and felons as portrayed in ‘Endgame’, may seem daunting, but rather than cower and cringe in the corner or go into a state of denial, we would feel a whole lot better if we got up and challenged these monsters at every opportunity, exposing their enormities for all to see.

But we should also take heed of David Icke in discovering ourselves as higher beings and elevating our collective conscious spirit as yet another means of rising above these global scoundrels and I finish with part 3 of David’s ‘Freedom or Fascism’ lecture which I hope will provide some enlightenment.

Naomi Wolf and The End of America

In a lecture given at the University of Washington at Seattle earlier this month, author Naomi Wolf discusses her recent book 'The End of America" in which she draws frightening parallels between the America of today and Germany's decline from democracy into fascism in the 1930s.

Gardasil - beware!

Our wordly masters have a whole arsenal aimed against our well-being and the latest comes with the news tonight that schoolgirls between 12 and 13 will be urged to be vaccinated against the human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes cervical cancer from next year onwards. This is to be followed by another campaign to vaccinate girls aged up to 18. The primary vaccine employed in this programme is to be Gardasil produced by Merck laboratories.

Leaving aside the common criticism that providing a vaccine that is supposed to combat a sexually transmitted infection may lead to more promiscuity among young girls and the knee-jerk reaction from health campaigners who don’t do their homework, that this vaccination programme will help reduce the current death rate can only be good news, I have some news that may make prospective vaccinees think again.

80% of all cases of cervical cancer occur in low-income countries , so the number of cases in Britain is very small with an annual death rate of just over 1,000, compared to fatalities from heart disease which amount to 300,000 deaths per annum. As regrettable as those 1,000+ fatalities are, it is hardly of epidemic proportions.

So, why the need to engage in a mass-vaccination programme such as this?

Persuading government to give the green light to such a programme provides a massive financial boon to companies such as Merck who peddle their wares like pushers dole out cocaine among the drug-dependent, while creating many lures for those who prescribe them.

Cynthia A Janak of Renew America - in which country cervical cancer rates only account for 1.5% in women but where similar vaccination programmes are under way - quotes an article by Dr Jerome Kassirer, a professor at Tufts University School of Medicine in the US, on his experiences of the ways in which big pharma pushes its wares. “In the United States, 90,000 pharmaceutical representatives ply doctors with gifts and junkets. The US $2 billion spent annually just on free meals and other hospitality events would dwarf many health budgets in African countries.

Kassirer also pointed to a famous decision by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to keep the drugs Vioxx and Bextra on the market after concerns were raised over cardiovascular risks. Most of the panelists on the FDA committee, it later emerged, had financial ties to the manufacturers. If these panelists had declared a conflict of interest and refrained from voting, the decisions would have gone the other way.

But what those hapless vaccinees who believe that Gardasil will guard against cervical cancer are not told is that it contains 225mcg of aluminium (as amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulphate adjuvant), a toxic element that has known links to both Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases as well as causing inflammation at the injection site which can lead to chronic joint and muscle pain and fatigue. And the vaccine hasn’t been proven safe in clinical trials despite the intention to roll out this vaccination programme using Gardasil, nationwide.

According to the US-based The Alliance for Human Research Protection “Around 60 percent of those who got Gardasil or the aluminum placebo suffered side effects such as headache, fever, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, myalgia and the Gardasil recipients had more serious adverse events such as headache, gastroenteritis, appendicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, asthma, bronchospasm and arthritis”.

Following Merck’s outrageous track record with Voixx which was launched as a treatment for those with osteoarthritis, acute pain conditions and dysmenorrhoea, and was responsible for many deaths from which countless lawsuits have been launched against the company, I would urge all parents of who may be contemplating this vaccination for their daughter(s), to check the facts first.

One thing is for sure, big pharma’s primary goal is profit and with many leading Illuminati families ultimately at their helm, have very little interest in our well-being and probably more interest in our early demise!

The Obesity Snare

As if they cared for us, the government is to send all parents of clinically obese five-year-olds a warning letter under another new initiative. They have warned that if current trends continue 50% of the population could be obese by 2050 (assuming NWO plans to wipe out 80% of the population through some engineered disaster before that date, haven’t materialised).

With the disappearance of most real physical work, through the systematic dissolution of heavy industry in Britain as we have become a service-based country engaged in physically sendentary work, the materialisation of our lives has brought unbridled heavy-sell consumerism that has coerced most people into buying cars and walking less, acquiring labour-saving must-haves and at the lower end of the social scale consuming heavily advertised unhealthy fast-foods while at the moneyed end adopting the gourmet lifestyle through the guidance of Jamie Oliver, Worrall-Thompson et al as they pile on the cream and chocolate in what may look highly desirable fayre, but may, much of the time, not be in our best interests. Over-eating is rampant, just look at the enormous portions doled out in many pubs in Britain and the increasing size of calorie-rich soft drinks served in cafés and takeaways. Marketing rubbishy food to children and creating the ‘pester factor’ is also rampant, with MacDonalds having lured youngsters into its ‘restaurants’ for years.

A truly guardian government, here to serve the people in a benevolent manner would preempt these industry trends and legislate against companies and large corporations that peddle dietary rubbish and whose message is to eat more. But, of course, that’s not how it works. The powers that be are not here to serve us, but we them. Apart from profiting enormously from us they also allow these snares to be laid so we fall into them and thus become their victims.

If we are to assert our moral standing in this world many of us have to pull up their socks, realise just what is going on and be one step ahead of our predators spiritually, morally and physically. But if we continue to acquiesce to the dumbed-down, no-brainer convenience packages luringly offered us by unscrupulous big business, refuse to become informed and improve the way we live and behave, then we’ll end up being the captive fodder for a dictatorial police state regime that will find any excuse to use our misdemeanours to incarcerate us into their totalitarian regime.

Federal Tax Protestor Tortured

Following months of being barricaded in their own home at Plainfield, New Hampshire, Ed and Elaine Brown, are now in gaol. The couple bravely stood up against the authorities following their deliberate refusal to pay any federal taxes - which they declare to be unconstitutional - between 1996 and 2003.


After having being continuously surveilled in their home by police after refusing to give themselves up on principle, US Marshals disguised as sympathisers - of whom the Browns have had many during their ten-month ordeal - made the arrest just days ago.

Receiving sentences of five years and three months each, disturbing news arrived this morning from the Alex Jones’ MySpace blog that Ed Brown had been tortured by officers at the Ohio prison in which he is undergoing his sentence.

Following his trick arrest, in which he was tasered several times despite his refusal to resist, both he and his wife were - in Brown’s words - treated with ‘professional cruelty’. Now news comes that prison officers have gassed him with obnoxious fumes and subjected him to sensory deprivation resulting in Brown experiencing anxiety, hallucinations and depression.

Although his ordeal in the Ohio prison was taken verbatim by Shaun Kranish, a reporter for MaketheStand.com, who managed to talk with Brown on the phone for ten minutes, US Marshal, Stephen Monier, denied that any torture or mistreatment of Brown had taken place commenting “that’s absolutely ridiculous”.


Unconstitutional

Although commentators who have been following the Brown’s stand against paying federal taxes - including Alex Jones - have warned of this possible outcome, both Ed and Elaine Brown should be congratulated in their stand against a taxation system that is wholly illegal and unconstitutional.

"The Founding Fathers intentionally restricted the taxing powers of the new federal government as a measure of restraint on its size. By exceeding that limited taxing authority the federal government has been able to obtain resources beyond its intended reach, and that money has enabled the federal government to exceed its authority. For example, the Constitution does not empower the federal government to regulate education, or employment, and agriculture, yet it does so”. These words were given by Shreveport, Louisiana lawyer Tom Cryer following his acquittal by the jury in a case pressed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for his similar refusal to pay federal taxes on the grounds that their levy was unconstitutional. "I think now people are beginning to realize that this has got to be the largest fraud, backed up by intimidation and extortion and by the sheer force of taking people's property and hard-earned money without any lawful authorization whatsoever" added Cryer.

This is yet another example of how, over the last century, the US Constitution has been summarily rubbished. Also in this financial section I tell the story of the Federal Reserve System and how it has conned US citizens through duplicitous means. This tax scam is yet another deliberate abuse of the Constitution.

Hold on in there!

Many may find the content on this blog pretty daunting. It is pretty grim, I have to admit. Over the many years I have been following the whole gamut of historical and current world events, I’m just amazed to find how the evidence of evil doing just seems to mount up, yet on the face of it many of us manage to lead relatively peaceful and settled lives. But then again, many of us do not.

I feel it incumbent upon us - at least at some stage in our lives - to face up to the basic facts of life, try to understand how they have come about, recognise their effect on ourselves and others and attempt, in any way possible, through positive and loving actions to counter the evil that surrounds us.

It is paramount to recognise that the primary agenda of a close-knit and highly influencial group of powerful people in this world, has been, both historically and currently, the total domination of our world for their own benefit, through control of education, health, the media, banking, corporate industry - in fact just about every facet of our lives. We must be forever vigilant and understand that these few people ultimately control our governments and ‘corporate godfathers’ and that the decisions they make aren’t, usually, in our best interests. We must learn how to interpret the controlled mainstream media news and, for that matter, the false prophets that appear to speak in our favour but, are in reality, hiding behind self-interest.

It’s a minefield. But the positive message is that if we achieve these goals of understanding and vigilance and ensure that we defend our God-given rights with passion, while professing compassion and love, we will emerge much stronger people with a united destiny, feeling more at one with ourselves. Far better this than being ground down by the system through fear and oppression and living life in denial, for this is the way those at the apex of the pyramid want you to behave, cowering at their feet.

Remember, we are spiritually, all capable of much higher planes of consciousness if we awaken our minds and extricate ourselves from this mire. Our controllers, who seem to be unwilling, or incapable, of achieving these higher sensitivities (if they could they wouldn’t act the way they do) are afraid of our potentials, that is why they try, at every turn, to grind us down and crush our spirituality. We must not let them, we must triumph over this adversity for the good of mankind.

First the EU next the NAU

Little known to most Americans is the undeniable fact that behind their backs a new trans-continental union is being quietly formed. US sovereignty is about to disappear for good. Along with its much-vaunted Constitution and its hallmarks of liberty, freedom and opportunity, the World’s leading power is about to be subsumed into into a union with its geographical neighbours. While the dollar is being systematically devalued to toilet paper and may well be replaced by its new union replacement, the Amero, the standard of living for the average American will plummet.




Immigrants from Mexico are entering the US in droves and being given opportunities denied to many natural Americans, while any Mexicans involved in legal misdemeanours are very often conveniently overlooked by law enforcement officers. From their almost third-world base, the prospect for Mexican workers can only look bright with improved wages and jobs, while their American and Canadian counterparts will have to lower their expectations to fall in line with their new Mexican compatriots.

Alarming words, yet this scenario is being played out as part of a systematic revisionism which is to affect the whole planet, let alone north America should the authors of the New World Order succeed with their plans, already some way to fruition.


The Security and Prosperity Partnership

Amid almost unprecedented security, last August, Canada’s luxury resort of Montebello played host to further tripartite talks involving Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Mexico’s President Felipe Calderon and US President George W Bush, designed to further this new coalition in what, many are correctly describing, as America’s version of the European Union.

Yet the media across north America were notably silent on the subject, while at the concluding press conference any suspicious minds were fobbed off with the usual platitudes from each country’s leaders that the misleadingly titled ‘Security and Prosperity Partnership’ (SPP) is merely a simple trade agreement. Prime Minister Harper demeaned criticism by flippantly exclaiming “Is the sovereignty of Canada going to fall apart if we standardise the jellybeans?... I don’t think so”.


So what’s all the fuss about?

A little background. The SPP was formally born in the Texas town of Waco on March 23, 2005, with its attendees, Canada’s then PM Paul Martin, Mexico’s then President Vicente Fox and US President Bush planning to build on the existing North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) of 1993 with the publicly stated and rather innocuous intention of creating ‘a safer, more prosperous North America’.





Without the sanction of either of their respective Canadian or Mexican governments or the US Congress, the meeting laid down plans to create 20 trilateral working groups composed of current and former government officials, academics and corporate leaders, at bringing about continental ‘integration’ on a wide range of political, economic and social issues. These would involve everything from manufacturing and agriculture to law-enforcement, immigration, health and infrastructure. Hardly a simple trade agreement!

These far-reaching issues surely affect each nation’s sovereignty, yet their implications have never been publicly addressed by any of the participants. Some of the only information to come to light on this unconstitutional clandestine agreement has been gleaned via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by the Washington-based public-interest watchdog organisation, Judicial Watch.


The facts

• FOIA documents reveal that the US Department of Health and Human Resources, the Department of Transportation and other federal agencies have already been funding part of a planned $100 - $200 billion transfer of funds to Mexico to improve that country’s infrastructure. Just imagine the outrage if it were made public that American taxpayers were funding a foreign government’s transport system! It’s wholly unconstitutional and particularly galling when the US’ own infrastructure is in appaling condition and could use that money itself. Yet it seems the aim is to denigrate America and upgrade Mexico to bring them both to second-world, uniform mid-grade standard.
• A pro-SPP report authored by the Hudson Institute, a Washington DC neo-con think tank, clearly shows the true nature of the SPP beast. It advocates the creation of a ‘continental perimeter’ to encompass all three nations; the creation of a North American passport (like the EU passport); harmonisation of each country's tax and regulatory policies and ensure educational policy majors on creating a pan-North American identity. It goes on to propose policies that would create income equalisation, lowering that of US citizens to a median level with those of Mexicans. Indeed, former Federal Reserve boss, Alan Greenspan openly advocated this in March of this year when he called for opening a ‘window’ for skilled Mexican workers to freely enter the US in order to “suppress the skilled-wage level and end the concentration of income”. That says it all.
• The ‘NAFTA Superhighway’, a term coined by critics, or North American Super Corridor Coalition (NASCO) as it is known by its promoters, is already in its fledgling state as the Trans Texas Corridor (TTC). In what will comprise the Pacific, Central Western, Central Eastern and Atlantic Corridors, this complex of super highways, incorporating road, rail and water, oil and utility conduits, will originate in Mexico and span the entire northern American continent allowing the cheap flow of cheap foreign goods into the new North American Union. Yet the American people have never been told the true reason for the TTC and what will stem from it. With the construction of a new deep-water port at Lazaro Cardenas in Mexico the intention will be to use cheap non-union Mexican trucking and longshoremen labour forces.

Nasco maintains that this stimulation of imports will benefit America, but the reality is that only the relatively small upper echelon of society will reap those benefits and grow richer on the proceeds, destroying the American middle classes and leaving - as Orwell would have put it - the inner party members (the ruling elite and their upper class management teams) and the prols (everyone else and the vast majority). As the Economic Policy Institute has said “For working Americans, the effects of the enormous growth in foreign trade have been mostly negative.”... Between 2000 and 2005, more than three million manufacturing jobs have disappeared from the US economy... Even though productivity in the US economy has grown dramatically in the last twenty-five years, the wages and benefits of non-supervisory workers - who constitute about 80 percent of the US workforce - have been stagnant.... The loss of jobs overseas has widened the income gap in America.... According to Federal Reserve Bank data, in 2004, the top one-fifth of American households held 80 percent of the nation’s net worth and 50 percent of the nation’s income”.


What next?

When one compares the clandestine aspirations of the SPP with the trends in the US over the past decades, the emasculation of what is the last national global super-power, becomes clear. To quote just a few:

• The selling off of major US infrastructure like ports and transport system to foreign concerns
• The transfer of US national treasures and millions of acres of national parks to foreign bureaucrats in the form of UNESCO
• The wiping out of small and medium-sized US businesses through the swingeing imposition of burdensome regulatory control and federal taxes
• Large US corporations re-locating - half of all US-owned manufacturing is now overseas
• The deliberately engineered collapse of the US dollar

From a European perspective, we can vouch for the game-play.


Christopher Booker and Richard North in their 2003 book, ‘The Great Deception’, clearly describe the slow but gradual ‘coup d’êtat’ that has been the dissolution of sovereign nation-state power in Europe to a centralised mega-state controlled from Brussels which has become the greatest concentration of political power in the history of mankind. Thus was it envisaged - perhaps in the minds of some élite - from before WW2, initially described as an ‘economic arrangement’ with the European Coal and Steel Community which then evolved into the European Economic Community or Common Market, followed by the European Community and finally today as the European Union - a more adequate description of its true raison d’être. As with Europe, so with North America.

Gordon Brown still rules out a referendum on the ratification of the EU Reform Treaty, essentially the child of the EU’s Constitutional Treaty of 2004 which ended up thumbs down with the electorate of both France and Holland. Here, as in the US, continental amalgamation is all one big foregone conclusion as far its creators - the Illuminati, the banking and manufacturing élite - and their executors are concerned.

Will there be a second American revolution when these clandestinely-laid plans become general knowledge, or by then will it be too late and will millions of Americans just acquiesce, enter into a slave-like existence (or incarceration if they object), and let themselves be overrun by the global juggernaut as we are being in Europe?

I sincerely hope the former.

As if to reinforce the message that dissenters to SPP plans are not welcome, at the time of the conference at Montebello in August, a number of police were instructed to masquerade as unruly protestors, with one even carrying a rock, in order to discredit the genuine ones!

A letter to Gordon Brown

Dear Prime Minister

Airport Security Checks

On a recent flight from London Heathrow to Oslo, I and many others were forcibly reminded of the swingeing measures and procedures undertaken by security personnel at airports.

Our group consisted of many elderly people including ex-servicemen who were joining a coastal voyage at Bergen and wished to visit towns and villages on the Norwegian coast their naval units had helped liberate from the Germans at the end of WW2.

Under the current regime - which appears to be permanently in place - everyone seems to be regarded as a potential terrorist, even our group of frail 80-year-old’s, many of whom, after being put through the ordeal of intense searches, removal of belts and shoes and a bewildering procedure of half-undressing, were left physically shaken. One member of our party who was suffering from a liver condition requiring him to take regular doses of water was denied the bottle of mineral water he was visibly carrying in his regulation clear plastic bag. The 100ml allowance was hardly sufficient and liquids were only available for purchase from the in-flight staff some way into the flight.

Flying, in itself, can be a nerve-racking experience for the elderly and de-hydration becomes a natural effect of that worry. With the whole procedure repeated at Oslo for our onward transfer flight to Bergen, our colleague was visibly ill by the time we reached our destination.

I have personally heard of numerous instances of people being humiliated in public by having their trousers fall down in full view of other passengers after being told to remove their belts, while others have been treated by security staff like common criminals because they inadvertently happened to carry a tube of toothpaste in their night bag.

But what distresses me most is the reasoning upon which these unprecedented security measures have been based.

We are told that following the attacks of 9/11 in the US and the subsequent bombings in London on 7/7 that the world is a less safe place and a constant terrorist threat exists requiring high security measures to remain in place.

Are we expected to take your government’s word for that?

In depth analysis of those two seminal events by myself and thousands of others reveal countless unanswered questions and inconsistencies between the official version of events and what has been actually witnessed at first hand. The 9/11 Commission Report answers none of these glaring inconsistencies and we are left with the preposterous scenario of a group of Islamic terrorists, whose inabilities to even fly a Cessna let alone large commercial aircraft, being capable of penetrating NORAD defence systems (which were coincidentally engaged in an drill in which a similar scenario was being enacted) to pinpoint specific targets - particularly in the case of the Pentagon - with unbelievable dexterity, defying aeronautical science. Taken in tandem with the mountains of evidence which clearly identify fore-knowledge of an attack on 9/11 and the official version of events becomes a sham.

Likewise the official version of events regarding the London bombings is riddled with inconsistencies - let alone another identical drill simultaneously undertaken by Visor Consultants which focused on the exact same locations as those targeted by the supposed bombers - and any honest scrutiny based on media reports and personal eyewitness accounts makes one come to the considered conclusion that the suspects were unwittingly aided and abetted in their activities by British intelligence agencies. Where does leave your government?
Indeed, the restrictions on carrying liquids on board flights has stemmed from the equally questionable events of 10 August 2006 in which, you may recall, a supposed terrorist was to have mixed either triacetone triperoxide, diacetone diperoxide or hexamethylene tripeoxide diamine with a sports drink in an aircraft toilet, an impossible feat according to
Lieutenant-Colonel (ret) Nigel Wylde a former British Army Intelligence Officer, who declared that the volatility of the substances would make the whole process of creating a bomb from these materials wholly impossible.

Are these events real or concocted?

Before we start to humiliate swathes of the general public, including the elderly, having each and every one of us treated as a potential terrorist, should we not have a fair and transparent inquest into what really happened on 9/11, 7/7 and the many other so-called terrorist threats that have followed to see if there is any real justification for the continuation of these draconian security measures. Or is it - as I currently believe - little to do with a perceived terrorist threat and more to do with keeping the public under a firm state of control, as yet another means of reducing our rights as citizens in which the Labour government has played a monumental role during its reign.

Yours respectfully
