Don't Cover Up a Thing

The Iraqi shoe controversy is going on. Think Progress from Wednesday on December 17, 2008 deal with Muntader al-Zaidi. Al-Zaidi was the Iraqi journalist who threw shotes at President Bush. Now, throwing shoes at a person is the ultimate form of disrespect in terms of the Middle Eastern culture. He appeared before a judge in Baghdad. He of course admitted to the action that he carried out. Reuters reports that “the court decided to keep Zaidi in custody” and that after an investigation is completed, “the court may send him for trial under a clause in the Iraqi penal code that makes it an offense to attempt to murder Iraqi or foreign presidents.” He faces up to 15 years in prison. A spokesman for Iraq's High Judicial Council named Abdul Satar Birqadr said that al-Zaidi faces up to 15 years in prison. Abdul Satar Birqadr said Mr Zaidi had been charged with aggression against a president. Al-Zaidi called Bush a dog. CNN's Candy Crowley asked about whether the jouranlist would be released. President George W. Bush said that he doesn't know what they're going to do, he doesn't know what his status is, and they shouldn't overreact. Frankily, the Iraqi government is overreacting. Throwing a shoe at someone certainly doesn't merit 15 years in prison. There are news reports that al-Zaidi was assaulted while he was sent into jail. al-Zaidi's other brother Dargham told the BBC that he suffered a broken arm, broken ribs, and internal bleeding. These actions define Iraq as not being a true democratic society at all. In many ways, America's government have enacted anti-freedom policies as well. The Iraq War should of never existed in the first place. It was a contrived war that was planned by the CFR PNAC ilk. There has been torture going on there and various war crimes. Even the Knight of Malta-influenced Blackwater company have been accused of committing murder of Iraqi civilians. Now, Saddam Hussein was an evil man. Yet, even the West gave him many chemical and biological weapons during the 1980's. Hence, Iraq certain has a long way to go if it wants to be a truly prosperous, liberty filled nation.

There is a whistleblower that exposed the NSA's warrantless wiretapping program. David Edwards and Muriel Kane from the Raw Story on Wednesday at December 17, 2008 reported on this story. He was on Rachel Maddow's show from MSNBC. He exposed the NSA becasue he was motivated by a sense that "this is crazy." Former Justice Department lawyer Thomas Tamm had remained anonymous until he spoke to Newsweek's Michael Isikoff for an article last week. So, Tamm is the whistleblower. His appareance with Maddow was his first television interview. Appearing clearly unaccustomed to public speaking, Tamm emotionally explained, “My entire life, really, was based on trying to enforce the law … and I believed that the law was being broken in the place where I was working.” Tamm said that he wasn't the only one in his office at the Justice Department who was aware of the wiretapping program. He did stopped and say that these actions were blatantly illegal procedures. Tam said that this isn't what the Constitution or the Department of Justice were all about. Thomas Tamm is into serious consideration to seek prosecutions of those responsible for these crimes of warrantless wiretapping by the NSA. He said that: "...It offends me that we feel we’re not strong enough as a country, that our laws are not strong enough, that our Congress is not strong enough, that our courts are not strong enough to protect us,” he stated. “And I personally — I’m a prosecutor … I think it should be looked at very seriously...." There ought to be justice, because what the NSA accomplished in that instance was wrong. You don't monitor people at all in the fashion of having no warrants or no due process. This is certainly apart of a bigger agenda of the federal government being taken over by the globalists. These elitists are authoritarian, because they believe that the federal government should control as much of society as possible (even if its circumvents basic human liberties). This agenda is all about trying to create a new world order. The NSA was formed after WWII to merge Western intelligence agencies into one head as to monitor citizens.

The prison system worldwide have issues. America is no exception. Folks being wrongly convicted is an epidemic in the United States. America is the country with the largest prison population in the world. The number of wrongly convicted is very large. Felony charges rarely end with total trial. Nowadays people are forced into plea bargains, who are defendants. The innocent and the guilty are framed. The deal is it is quicker and less expensive to frame the guilty than to convict them on the evidence. Tons of Americans get wrongfully convicted under the guise of totally trusting the justice system. The reality is not all of the police and prosecutors are moved by evidence or have a sense of justice. The system in many cases of American society have injustice and easy victims are targets of it. There are tons of examples of American injustice spreading across age, race, creed, region, and other classification of Americans. Lt. William Strong, son of a military family, tired of his wife’s unfaithfulness and filed for divorce. The unfaithful wife retaliated by accusing Strong of rape. There was no evidence of rape, but Strong was deceived into a plea bargain. Once Strong entered a plea, he was double-crossed and given 60 years. Christophe Gaynor took an adolescent skate board team to New York City for a competition. One of the kids attempted to buy illicit drugs. Gaynor threatened to tell the boy’s parents, and the boy preempted Gaynor by accusing him of sexual molestation. Gaynor was openly framed in the Arlington, Virginia, court system. Detainees have been tortured in Abu Ghraib and Guamtanamo Bay. Even the Senate Armed Services Committee issued a report which blamed the highest level of the Bush administration for the torture policy. Even Major General Taguba resigned as a result of the Abu Ghraib. Torture in American prisons are also common place. BBC's Channel 4 had a fourt month investigation of this matter. Deborah Davies created this reported. Videos clearly show that sadistic prison guards and videos recovered from surveillance cameras reveal horrible acts of torture. An American prison reformer told Deborah Davies, “We’ve become immune to the abuse. The brutality has become customary.” Many Americans don't realize the immune abuse occuring against prisoners. Law and order strict rules never work as it is evident today. Real crime solving is a fair amount of punishment, reform, restitituion, education in prison, and other things. There should be oversight in the criminal justice, so sadistic prison guards won't exist (along with innocent people not having their lives being destroyed as sent into prison).

Journalists have been harrashed by authorities for a long time. Photographing have especially been restricted in Western nations after the onset of the September 11, 2008 attacks. Great Britians seems to have a huge anti-photography problem. The UK in fact is the most pro-Big Brother and anti-civil liberty location in the Western world. There is a threat that the UK anti-liberty laws might spread over here in America. To a certain extent, this has happened. Now, in December 3, Vernon Coaker wrote to the National Union of Journalists want to inform them of measures that it has taken since their meeting on November 5. Vernon is the Minister for Security, Counterterrorism, Crime and Policing of the UK. The meeting was arranged after Jacqui Smith (who is the Home Secretary) shocked photographers by appearing to condone increasing police restrictions. This is inspite of the fact that there is no legal framework to prevent them from shooting in public as reported by the British Journal of Photography. Minister Vernon Coaker in his letter said that photography can be limited in public places under special circumstances. He supported the policy of restricting some photographing if it for the sake of perseving national security and to have peace. On the other hand, attacks by the government against photographers have nothing to do with national security. On December 15, Chris Cheesman filed a report with Amateur Photographer detailing the case of Jess Hurd, a British press photographer working on a wedding story for the Guardian. Hurd “had been shooting video of guests leaving a wedding reception when she was stopped outside the Ramada Hotel in Docklands at 5.10pm on 10 December. Prior to that she had been recording still images using her Canon EOS 1D Mark II digital SLR,” reports Cheesman. Hurd was detained for 45 minutes under Section 44 of the Terrorism Act 2000. The police suspected her of being involved in some type of hostile reconnaissance in an area which is close to Canary Wharf. “Police allegedly seized her camera to view the images she had taken, despite her protests that she was an accredited journalist.” The police told the press photographer that her video footage was copyrighted by the policy, so she couldn't use it. Even photojournalists Jason Pakinson and Marc Vallee was physically removed form an area for no other reason, but covering a Greek embassy protest in London. “Even where a protest is itself illegal, the media have a right to report on events and the police should not be taking action with the intention of obstructing journalists in their work,” National Union of Journalists legal officer Roy Mincoff told BJP. Even in America, the Terrorism Liason Officers in Colorado compared certain videotaping as equated to terrorism and "suspicious behavior." The National Press Photographers Association and other groups oppose this bad policy. The police harrassment of photojournalists is obviously wrong.

Jill Stanek wrote about Governor Rod Blagojevich and abortion. Jill has been a pro-life activist in the state of Illinois. He exposed the governor on many levels. The Governor is accused of selling a Senate seat to the highest bitter. He is innocent until proven guilty of course. He will soon address the allegations. What is clearly certain is that Blagojevich is very pro-abortion. The U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald wants to prosecute the governor of Illinois really bad. In 2005, Blagojevich signed an executive order. This order used $10 million to fund embryonic stem cell research. This is inspite of the fact that this wasn't passed by the Democratic-controlled Illinois General Assembly at all. He did this under the guise of a vaguely worded state budget line item. Now, new research this month found that some adult stem cells can repair old cells and grow new ones. This and other adult stem cells treating diseases make ESCs obsolete. You don't need embryonic stem cells when treatment already exist with adult stem cells. Even newspapers criticized Blagojevich for him using a secret deal with 3 Democrats and one Republicans to get that executive order accomplished. The Republican pro-abortion person aligning with Governor on this issue is named House Minority Leader Tom Cross. Ironically, Cross was Blagojevich's college roomrate and stood on the podium when Blagojevich announced his executive order. The three Democrat leaders were Blagojevich, longtime ally State Senate President Emil Jones and House Speaker Michael Madigan. Now, the Democrats want to impeach the Governor of Illinois. Madigan is also father to Lisa Madigan, the Illinois attorney general who has long been known to covet Blagojevich's job. Blagojevich claims that this executive order is about morality. That's fantasy since killing life in order to save life is the essence of a false sense of morality. In light of the revelation Blagojevich threatened to stop an $8 million reimbursement to Children's Memorial Hospital unless its CEO garnered him a $50,000 campaign contribution. Some want to see how the money was being used in the Illinois Regenerative Medicine Institute Board. Some of it which includes 2 million dollars went to a researcher at Children's Memorial Hospital. The truth is that Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is a pro abortion extremist.

There has a big move to make the military act like the police, which is of course illegal. There has been a recent report. It has been produced by the U.S. Army War College's Strategic Institute warns that the United States may experience massive civil unrest in the wake of a series of crises which it has termed "strategic shock." The reported is entitled, "Known Unknowns: Unconventional Strategic Shocks in Defense Strategy Development." This report contends that the military might even have to be used to quell domestic disorder. They want to do this if civil violence occurs in the USA. Ret. Lt. Col. Nathan Freir authored this report. The report says that domestic shock can arise by economic collaspe, a terrorist attack, health emergencies, and other means. Basically, the report is filled with fear mongering scenario which are utilized as the precise justification to endorse a miliatraization of American society. Lt. Col. Freir believes that America is having human insecurity at home. He calls for the Department of Defense to to broad and handle civil authorities including using military force against hostile group inside of the USA. Freir is a Senior Fellow in the International Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). He joined the think tank in April 2008 after retiring from the U.S. Army after 20 years as a lieutenant colonel. The CSIS has many globalist leaders like Zbigniew Brzezinski, Henry Kissinger, Brent Scowcroft, and Richard Armitage. Freir's words are similar to Colin Powell's (and Joe Biden's) prediction that Obama will see a big crisis soon into his administration. That is why U.S. troops are in America for domestic reasons. That is why Northcom is expanding its militarization in America under the threat of a terrorist attack or a potential total economic collapse. Tommy Franks said that a large scale terrorist attack in America could make the Constitution extinct along with a military dictatorship existing. He alluded to in a November 2003 Cigar Aficionado piece. A leaked internal memo from Citibank said that inflation is making the economic not going back into normal. It predicts wars, civil disorder and depression on the horizon. The Posse Comitatus Act and the Insurrection Act forbid the military from acting as law enforcement, except in extreme circumstances. The deployment of National Guard troops to aid law enforcement or for disaster relief purposes is legal under the authority of the governor of a state, but using active duty U.S. Army in law enforcement operations inside America absent the conditions described in the Insurrection Act is completely illegal. That is why the political left and right have expressed opposition to the slow push for martial law (and militarization) in American society.

Sea levels are rising slow according to new research. Michael Asher from the Daily Tech on Tuesday at December 16, 2008 wrote about this information. There is satellite altimetry data that shows that the world's oceans are rising slower than it did since 2005. Before the decrease, sea level had been rising by more than 3mm/year, which corresponds to an increase of about one foot per century. Since 2005, however, the rate has been closer to 2mm/year. This decrease is significant as global climate models outline that sea level rise is to accelerate as atmospheric CO2 continues to increase. In the 1990's, the accelerate is said to have been occuring. Some scientists pointed to it as confirmation that the models were operating correctly. Sea level rise was calculated from altimetry data from the TOPEX/Poseidon and Jason-1 satellite missions, published by the University of Colorado, Boulder. Dr. James Choe claims that the decrease is temporary. He is a research associate with the University of Colorado. Choe claims that interannual variations of up and down is normal. He predicts that the accelerating trend will reappear within the next few years. Oceanographer Gary Mitchum of the University of South Florida, says making any judgement from the limited data available is “statistically so uncertain as to be meaningless." Other researchers disagree. Dr. Vincent Gray, a New Zealand based climatologist and expert reviewer for the IPCC, believes that the accelerated trends seen earlier were simply an artifact of poor measurements. “The satellite system has undoubtedly shown a rise since 1992, but it has leveled off”, he tells DailyTech. “They had some bad calibration errors at the beginning.” Gray said that a study done by Flander University measured no perceptible increase in sea level over its entire 15 year period (using tide gauges). Sea levels have been rising naturally since the end of the Ice Age. During an episode known as “Meltwater Pulse 1A”, the world’s oceans rose by more than 5 meters per century, a rate about 20 times faster than the current increase. TOPEX/Poseidon was launched by NASA in 1992, and collected data until 2005. In 2001, NASA and France’s Centre National d’Études Spatiales (CNES) launched its follow-up mission, Jason-1. Jason-2 was launched in June of 2008. The truth is that the total climate future is totally uncertain. There is no need of extremism or radical speculation as some eco-extremists promote. There is nothing wrong with solving real environmental problems like animal extinction, the rainforest problems, GM foods, the disappearance of bees, toxic waste, flouride, and aspartame. Yet, it's wrong to promote false IPCC climate data as an excuse to harbor a political agenda (i.e. trying to control urban society and leave rural areas as much restricted as possible. This plan is outlined in Agenda 21 as it is supported by the United Nations). So, we have to be careful.

The health of many children are under threat all of the time now. Reuben Chow from Natural News on Wednesday at December 17, 2008 described about how children and teenagers are having the arteries of middle aged adults. This is outlined in a study that was presented at the American Heart Association's recent annual meeting in New Orleans. No longer than young people concieve of eating what they want whenever they want unless they want negative health consequences. No one actually should have a careless attitude about our health unless if you want to have a low life expentency. This study found that children's cardiovascular system looked more like they belonged to middle aged 45 year olds. Researchers had used ultrasound imaging. The study team then measured the thickness of the inner walls of the carotid arteries, which bring blood to the brain. The higher the CIMT (or the cartoid artery intima-media thickness), the more sign of plaque or fatty desposits are in important arteries. These arteries lead into the heart and the brain. The more CIMT can restrict blood flow can can cause stroke and heart attacks. Children and teenagers were from 6 to 19 and they were included in the study (the average age was at 13). The majority of them were from 10 to 18. They then compared the CIMT measurements to adult plaque levels. On average, the children’s mean CIMT was 0.45 millimeters, with the highest hitting 0.75 millimeters. One particular 12 year old boy had a reading of 0.54 millimeters, which is right in the middle of the healthy range for a 45 year old man (i.e. 0.50 to 0.57 millimeters). They found that more than 50% of the 70 young persons who were involved in the study were, by “vascular age” terms, about 3 decades older than their actual age. “If I see a kid with a 0.54 plaque in his carotid artery, a 12-year-old kid, I’m going to be concerned,” Dr Raghuveer also said. This is a serious issue. NOt to mention that one in six children from 2 to 19 are obese in America. Other studies show that children are having arteries similar to middle aged adults. Commonsense solutions are necessary to stop this trend. There is a need to have a better diet, eat the right food, and exercise again. Back when I was a kid (during the late 1980's and the early 1990's), I did exercise all of the time, especially during the summer time. Doctors want young people to stop eating fast foods and play in the sun.

Dubai is one of the new capitals where the elite have multiple businesses, infrastructure, and a playground. That's why the Middle East is planned to be the new headquarters of some of the world power not just Europe. Jerusalem has been proposed as the religious world capital for decades as well. Many Patriots have decreased this for a long time. Many individuals are shifting their assets from America (and Europe) into Dubai. This is sad because the West ought to be improved upon not die off slowly. Dubai is indeed the new Switzerland for the elite. Dubai has little to no taxes. Also, there are funds spread there in a free fashion. Some speculate why the World bank has pumped $250 billion in loans into Dubai. It could be that a local Dubai exchange system is being built up. Lord Rothschild and Gordon Brown meet there to discuss the global finanical crisis. The reality is that the economic crisis is a contrived event by the FED and other interests. That is done in order to achieve a global financial network. That is why Sarkozy and others promote a global economic system. Others have went as far as promoting an one world currency or an one world economy. UK banks are spreading from the City of London into Dubai. It could be that Dubai could be a new secret haven where globalists can spread their influence. When I mean globalist, I don't mean people who are just a millionare. I mean the heads of the Pilgrim Society, the Bilderberg Group, the Vatican/Jesuit network heads, the heads of the multinational corporations, and other huge power players. For thousands of years, these same people wish to control the world. That is why Halliburton is already existing over there. The Burj Dubai (worlds' tallest tower) is being constructed as we speak. Globalization and a globalized economic system is a contributing factor to this economic crisis. Yet, elites still promote the same bad bailout policies to control our money, so they can centralize more wealth unto themselves.

Secret Societies are real groups. Lately, there has been the new movie called "Valkyrie." This movie described about a German plot to assassinate Hitler in 1944. By 1944, the Nazis were losing badly in Russia and the Allied forces were advancing rapidly. They were in France, and in SOuthern Italy (plus Northern Africa) winning finally against hte Nazis. Tom Cruise, who is a Scientologist is playing Graf von Stauffenberg. Tom Cruise is a big puppet. He was raised Catholic. Cruise's mother is a practicing Roman Catholic and is a Scientologist. Stauffenberg is classified by mainstream historians as one of the main orchestraters of the Valkryrie plot. His total name is Claus Philipp Maria Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg. He died in July 21, 1944. The plan was to try to remove the Nazi Party outof World War Two and of course to kill Adolf Hitler. The von Stauffenberg family is a famous and one of the oldest aristocratic Catholic families of southern Germany. Ironically, one of those in on the plot was the Boselager brothers (with links to the Nazis. One of their sons was trained to be a Jesuit priest). The film will ignore Wlodimir Ledochowski's role in the Nazi movement and is push for a more Papal Europe. Erwin Rommel also disagreed with the unjustified treatment of Jewish people during WWII. He later opposed Hitler in many of his strategies before he died. The plot was an event that was unsuccessful and further meant that the Nazi Empire was going to die. It could be the time when the Vatican (whose Pope Ratzinger promotes the lie that the Catholic Churh is the mother of all Churches. He was once the head of the Inquisition) started to put a cover story in omitted their involvement in the creation of the Nazi Party and their agitation for WWII. These Secret occult Societies originated their dogma from the Ancient Mystery Religions (who have false gods and goddesses worshipped form ancient America, Babylon, China, ancient India, Greece, Rome, Assyria, etc). They spread into Kabbalism, Gnosticism (of whom Simon Magus modernized. Eliphas Levi claimed that Simon Magus was a socrcerer to Nero), the Vatican, the Ismailis (or other occult groups that mixed Islam with the Mysteries), the Knights Templar, the Rosicurcians, Freemasons (even Masonic ritual cite the Knights Templar), the New Age Movement, and other organizations throughout human history. Each of these cliques deny that God can save man alone or they believe in work-based plan for salvation.
