Microsoft buys Skype

What is Skype? This is what Skype says about itself - - - Skype is for doing things together, whenever you’re apart. Skype’s text, voice and video make it simple to share experiences with the people that matter to you, wherever they are. - - -
Skype has a free download version.

So what you can do, is get a phone number of your friend, wherever they are, then you start the program, click stuff and contact your friend. They can be across town, in Florida, or Nairobi and you suddenly can text talk, voice talk and SEE them live and in living colour!
Wonderful program for Grandmas contacting their grandchildren, or offices doing impromptu sessions about their contracts, or anyone else who wants a live contact look.

So here we go again with my slant on it. First you might want to review some of my previous posts about Microsoft, and the reasons I believe they are beholden to the CIA, NSA or Homeland Security. Once you digest that, you'll either go away shaking your head or begin to realize the same things that these watcher agencies would love: an in with Skype.

It is believed that Microsoft may include Skype with Windows 8.
Having it built into their operating system means they can tinker however they like with the intricacies of the program, meaning what it does and how it does it. Perhaps even when it does it.
Imagine Skype being controlled or reporting to 'someone' what it sees from the top of YOUR computer? A spy master's treasure trove. An intrepid innovation.

Lends another aspect to big brother watching you, doesn't it? Who needs a satellite looking down at you and seeing your rooftop when the watcher can be right inside your house!
Hmm.

Yikes.

UPDATE: Was I right or was I right? Today, May 27, it was just announced that a recent 'glitch' on Skype has been fixed! And even though you have not been able to use it for a few days, you can now download the updated 'fixed' software version and get right back on!
Skype blames overloaded 'supernodes' for the failures, and says they are fixing them, trying to reassure you that hackers were not responsible for the downtime. Right, always blame hackers. Concentrate your attention on the imagined bad guys so you don't notice the real bad guys at work.

Is this a suspicion confirmed? So Microsoft buys Skype, shuts it down while they and/or the US Government Sneak Department installs new spyware, then you load the update that could make your webcam record you in your home without turning on your little light.
Wonderful.

Will we need to turn off the lights and whisper within our own homes soon? Will this KGB like intrusion become the Stasi or the Tonton Macoutes one day?
We need to go back to the woodshed days when we had a place to talk privately. Or Tony Soprano's basement.

Meanwhile, they're saying the Skype system is a little slow right now. Could that be because it is classifying and organizing the 25 million subscribers at the moment? Perhaps with face recognition software after taking all your pictures?

Paranoid? You tell me.

Spy Machine.

Julian Assange, in a recent interview, said facebook was a spy machine.
But of course you knew that when you signed up and revealed almost everything about yourself. Didn't you. Didn't you?

Assange believes - Facebook [sic] is a giant database of names and records about people, maintained voluntarily by its users but developed for U.S. intelligence to use. “Everyone should understand that when they add their friends to Facebook, they are doing free work for United States intelligence agencies, and building this database for them,” Assange said.
While Assange doesn’t claim that Facebook is actually run by U.S. intelligence agencies, the fact that they have access to its records is — in his view — dangerous enough.

Well, you signed up. And filled out a profile, telling all about yourself.
Your place of work. Your DOB, Date of Birth, Place of Birth, which ALL police forces use for ID. Who your Mom and Dad are. Who Grandma is. You even entered in the maiden name of your Mom! Maybe what your first dog's name was. Where you live, work and play. What you like, perhaps that you like murder mysteries in your reading and movie preferences. That you still like Bob Dylan protest music. And under Philosophy, innocently tucked into the list, your religion and political views.
And then you put a nice clear picture of yourself up for all to see.

Then you started looking for your friends, close and long lost. And in doing that you gave facebook the actual PASSWORD to your email account. So they could get and use the names of all your contacts on that account. Friends, family, employers, business accounts. To help YOU of course.
Wow, cross referencing in the extreme.
And not only that, they can still access your email to see what you are sending to whom right now!

So if that buddy in high school, (remember Freddy that you thought was so funny at fourteen) had grown up and his third cousin on his uncle's side became a grandma killer, YOU are now associated with him. Remember, you typed HIS name into a search and found Freddy. And you asked him to be a friend.
And lo and behold, Freddy responded back to you and befriended you all over again! And he had a friend, who has a friend. And that third cousin is also in HIS database, from a prison cell. But of course you don't know that. And anyone looking at these kinds of records would KNOW that YOU are no grandma killer.
You love your grandma.

But wait. We assumed that a human would just look at these things and say it was only George looking for Freddy. They have nothing to do with creepy murderous cousin. But of course it is NOT a human surveilling you. Only a computer that constantly adds information to the database. That only searches for keywords and names. The computer that links you with murderers, thieves and highwaymen! And your picture. Nice head shot. Perfect for face recognition software to memorize.
Did you know that if you go to the big game, buy your tickets from a scalper when you get there, enter the gates, your face can be recognized going in. You are NOT anonymous. And even if you snapped a quickie from your built-in webcam, you allowed facebook to access the camera. But didn't set a NO access after the pic. You see how sneaky these things are? And it IS possible to hack into your puter and turn OFF the light that tells you your camera is active. Sorry if this is disturbing. Lends a whole new meaning to 'big brother is watching', doesn't it?

We all know that any social media, any ISP host, information storage, cloud storage, or any other databased web storage is subject to the Patriot Act and the scrutiny of Homeland Security. And here is the good part for the spyers: by law you cannot be told you are being watched. So any dark agency of the government or secret cell of the CIA can simply click in to everything you do on facebook, and record your entries, comments, opinions, private emails, and personal info. Anytime.

Too late. It isn't a reasonable logical sympathetic human being watching you. Only a computer that is building a labyrinth of webbing items about you. Damning contacts made up of those triggered keywords and alarmed phrases. Red flags to your personality. Betraying keystrokes.
This goes way beyond just recording your ISP number or the unique serial number of your hard drive. The conclusions of you being monitored by facebook are endless and dangerous.

What about Julian Assange? There is talk of charging him with treason in the US. Of course he is Australian, in Britain and he has yet to go to Sweden, but let's not let nationality into it.
Or truth.
They are watching you. You can't watch them.

Apple joins Big Brother

Yes, more evidence that Apple has sold out to the US government. Following Microsoft's aquiescence to Homeland Security after the threat to Bill Gates to split his company a few years ago. Remember they installed the unique code identifier on all their Windows operating systems?
Now Apple allows the built in GPS tracking system in the iPhones and iPads to follow your every move and record your whereabouts. Where you are, and where you were! And the information is stored for months!

They know where you've been, who you called and you can bet they know what you said to whomever you spoke to. Sent an email or text message? Those are simply digital signals, a series of 1s and 0s that go through a Satellite on their way to your friend. Interceptable of course.

Make no mistake that this revelation of Apple products is preordained, even though Apple has said, "The reason the iPhone stores so much data is a bug we uncovered and plan to fix shortly." A bug? A bug in most people's comprehension is something that screws up your dialing, or causes the call to abort, or loses numbers. A bug doesn't perform a complicated task!

The company added they will release a software update to correct this situations AND another update that will also fix another apparent 'bug', which prevented iPhone and iPad 3G users from being able to turn off location logging on their mobile devices.
Even when turned off the iPhones kept sending data! And many iPhone and iPad users expressed outrage last week when two data researchers uncovered a secret file stored on Apple's mobile devices.

How does a company like Apple have something secret installed in their software without their knowledge? The answer? They don't.
Making you feel creepy? Sorry, put the gun away, I am only the messenger.

You can try to switch off the GPS tracking device on your iPhone. That is if you believe it will work. Maybe you'd be better to buy a cheap phone from China, do you care if the Chinese government tracks you from Beijing?

Check out the story and Apple's feeble excuses ....

Monsanto now owns Xe Services? (Blackwater)

A scary report by Jeremy Scahill in The Nation (Blackwater’s Black Ops, 9/15/2010) revealed that the largest mercenary army in the world, Blackwater (now called Xe Services) clandestine intelligence services was sold to the multinational Monsanto. Blackwater was renamed in 2009 after becoming famous in the world with numerous reports of abuses in Iraq, including massacres of civilians. It remains the largest private contractor of the U.S. Department of State “security services,” that practices state terrorism by giving the government the opportunity to deny it.

Many military and former CIA officers work for Blackwater or related companies created to divert attention from their bad reputation and make more profit selling their nefarious services-ranging from information and intelligence to infiltration, political lobbying and paramilitary training – for other governments, banks and multinational corporations. According to Scahill, business with multinationals, like Monsanto, Chevron, and financial giants such as Barclays and Deutsche Bank, are channeled through two companies owned by Erik Prince, owner of Blackwater: Total Intelligence Solutions and Terrorism Research Center. These officers and directors share Blackwater. One of them, Cofer Black, known for his brutality as one of the directors of the CIA, was the one who made contact with Monsanto in 2008 as director of Total Intelligence, entering into the contract with the company to spy on and infiltrate organizations of animal rights activists, anti-GM (genetically modified) and other dirty activities of the biotech giant.

Contacted by Scahill, the Monsanto executive Kevin Wilson declined to comment, but later confirmed to The Nation that they had hired Total Intelligence in 2008 and 2009, according to Monsanto only to keep track of “public disclosure” of its opponents. He also said that Total Intelligence was a “totally separate entity from Blackwater.” However, Scahill has copies of emails from Cofer Black after the meeting with Wilson for Monsanto, where he explains to other former CIA agents, using their Blackwater e-mails, that the discussion with Wilson was that Total Intelligence had become “Monsanto’s intelligence arm,” spying on activists and other actions, including “our people to legally integrate these groups.” Total Intelligence Monsanto paid $127,000 in 2008 and $105,000 in 2009.

No wonder that a company engaged in the “science of death” as Monsanto, which has been dedicated from the outset to produce toxic poisons spilling from Agent Orange to PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), pesticides, hormones and genetically modified seeds, is associated with another company of thugs. Almost simultaneously with the publication of this article in The Nation, the Via Campesina reported the purchase of 500,000 shares of Monsanto, for more than $23 million by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which with this action completed the outing of the mask of “philanthropy.” Another association that is not surprising.

It is a marriage between the two most brutal monopolies in the history of industrialism: Bill Gates controls more than 90 percent of the market share of proprietary computing and Monsanto about 90 percent of the global transgenic seed market and most global commercial seed. There does not exist in any other industrial sector monopolies so vast, whose very existence is a negation of the vaunted principle of “market competition” of capitalism.
Both Gates and Monsanto are very aggressive in defending their ill-gotten monopolies. Although Bill Gates might try to say that the Foundation is not linked to his business, all it proves is the opposite: most of their donations end up favoring the commercial investments of the tycoon, not really “donating” anything, but instead of paying taxes to the state coffers, he invests his profits in where it is favorable to him economically, including propaganda from their supposed good intentions.

On the contrary, their “donations” finance projects as destructive as geoengineering or replacement of natural community medicines for high-tech patented medicines in the poorest areas of the world.
What a coincidence, former Secretary of Health Julio Frenk and Ernesto Zedillo are advisers of the Foundation. Like Monsanto, Gates is also engaged in trying to destroy rural farming worldwide, mainly through the “Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa” (AGRA). It works as a Trojan horse to deprive poor African farmers of their traditional seeds, replacing them with the seeds of their companies first, finally by GM.
To this end, the Foundation hired Robert Horsch in 2006, the director of Monsanto. Now Gates, airing major profits, went straight to the source. Blackwater, Monsanto and Gates are three sides of the same figure: the war machine on the planet and most people who inhabit it, are peasants, indigenous communities, people who want to share information and knowledge or any other who does not want to be in the aegis of profit and the destructiveness of capitalism.
The author, Jeremy Scahill, is a researcher at ETC Group, an international civil society organization dedicated to the conservation and sustainable advancement of cultural and ecological diversity and human rights.

There have been various denials to this article. (originally published in Mexico City's La Jomada newspaper and translated by Pravda, in Russia.)

No Fly Zone

So this is what I thought was going to happen;
The Western powers against Gadhafi threaten a No Fly Zone. He gets the message. The reason for the zone is to stop him from pummeling his own people with air power when the suppressed people are trying to get rid of him.
If he tries to fly more planes against his own people the Western alliance/coalition will intercept and shoot them down. That's how I thought it would go.
Not quite.

They started by bombing 'military' targets. Anti aircraft sites. Radar installations. Then tanks etc. No doubt using the B2 stealth bomber. Although a missile went into his compound in Tripoli, along with the denial that they are trying to kill him outright. Since this event started, these combined air forces have continued to attack and destroy various ground targets.
It seems to me that this is not a protection of a no fly zone but a war being carried out. The next step of course, is an army on the ground which would amount to an invasion. This idea has already been excused as NOT an army of occupation, NOT an invasion, but specific troops doing specific jobs.
The problem is there is no leader and coherent opposing force among the Libyan rebels. One of those specific jobs should be to simply target Gadhafi and kill him, then wait for whatever happens with the so called rebels. Someone will emerge.
Killing Gadhafi is the simplest and most efficient way to resolve the situation. But it doesn't allow for the war games going on presently. The testing of weapons and forces and troops. All over again, ala Iraq.

The US has once again assumed leadership to police the world. The Arab League was on board at first, also wanting to get rid of the tyrant, but one can see their mounting hesitation to be seen as onside with America in the killing of Arabs, (and Muslims) far beyond deposing Gadhafi.
And many are wondering exactly what the US agenda is regarding Libya? Do they want to define what happens there? Do they want to ensure a government acceptable to them? Do they want to secure yet more oil?
Is there another secret plan afoot?

Consider this: The US gets most of its oil imports from Saudi Arabia. If they could guarantee the same amount of oil from other sources, the Saudis would become less important. And almost every time the US relaxes its guard, the Saudis betray them. Sponsoring terrorists around the world who ultimately threaten the US way of life. The Saudis are the bosom buddies of the Bushes, not Americans. It seems that with other major sources of oil, America could finally confront the duplicitous Saudis with the truth. They are, after all, as an absolute Islamic Monarchy, on unstable footing too. Are there still American bases on Saudi soil that the Arabian people don't even know about?
It gets complicated doesn't it?
And we really know little of what is really going on. Since the advent of 'embedded' reporters. CNN reporter Nic Robertson recently blasted Fox News reporters for putting their own slant on the actions in Libya. And Michael Ware often disputes what the mainstream media tells us. And there's no chance of an embedded reporter getting PTSD.
We rarely get the truth.

We have to wait and see. With trepidation. It looks as if the Libyans only wanted what the Egyptians got; the removal of an arrogant and brutal tyrant with peaceful protests. But in the North Africa controlled by Gadhafi anything goes, and the Western powers belief that those Libyans want a western style democracy may be way off base.
They want a freedom defined by their own rules. Not ours.

Adjust the World

The World needs an adjustment.
It seems to be spinning out of control and one wonders if we are irreversibly destined to just ride out the spiraling plunge helplessly. Is it too late for people in every country to take control over their own destiny? Seems so.
It is like we are headed for another dark age.

The latest disaster in Japan seems to bring it to our attention once again as the ones in charge of the nuclear facilities seem to be lying outright about their problem, or are emitting only squeaks when questioned about the dangers. Once again the Company seems to be more important than the people it is supposed to serve. Protecting business is everything, the consequences to the population are secondary.
This attitude is tragic but prevalent.

We saw the same situation with the BP oil spill. But everyone thought that with Obama as President, things would be different. We all believed that after seeing the executives and CEOs of the company lying about the effects and circumstances, that Obama would step in with the US Navy and take over the effort and then use the assets of BP in America to pay for it all.
Nope.
We got a clue then that even the President of the most powerful nation in the world was owned by private business and hogtied by corporate agenda and secret lobbied deals over what the population of the whole USA wanted and needed. Trust.
And somehow BP managed to ride it out. We no longer even look to see what is going on in the Gulf of Mexico, despite rumors that the leak is still ongoing and the oil is lying on the bottom of the sea and sealing it from recovering itself. Expanding the already acknowledged, 'Dead Area' with a coating of sludge.
Out of sight.

Both these horrific events only show that the corporations were totally unprepared and unable to prevent the disasters once something went wrong. Their planning and designs were completely inadequate. And maintenance was even ignored. But alas, their bullying and cover-up propaganda was well executed.

We've had bank crashes, the mortgage crises, the Enron scandal, all these affecting the well-being of thousands of people but bringing profit to business. We've had 911, nefarious military actions and criminal intent in foreign countries. The ignoring of the US Constitution regarding prisoners and even within the White House. People are trying to simply live on this planet, but are too dizzy with the twisting top that is our world to rise up in defence of real freedom and truth and justice when it comes to corporations and the way they operate today.

We have found out that trade agreements are about business and not people and only advantage corporations and their drive for profits and exploitation of the resources of other lands. Foreign policy is actually laid by these corporations. Individuals have little to gain from international trade agreements. And now we're even being cautioned by a controlled news media that those who are telling us and the other populations of the world that they are being cheated on, and revealing these underworld actions, are the bad guys.
Knowledge to the people is being dispersed with disinformation.

All the dictators in the Arab oil states were perfectly acceptable to the West until their own people rose up against them. And the West tacitly agreed with the Emirs or Shahs or Potentate's methods, however brutal, while siphoning that oil back into American gas tanks. And now the West just looks at the situations unfolding with the fallacy that these people are moving toward American Style democracy. Not so, they are just rising against the cruelty of a regime.
The West no longer has models to look up to.

Somehow, the world's peoples need to take hold of their own future. The trust is gone. True values and moralities are ignored. The secret agenda is becoming apparent. And a dark age looms ahead of us on a world-wide scale.
The World needs an adjustment.
Question everything. Find your own truth.

How bad IS WikiLeaks?

WikiLeaks, under huge pressure right now by the US Government, recently revealed more information about nefarious doings by US diplomats.
'U.S. diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks reveal the Bush administration drew up ways to retaliate against Europe for refusing to use genetically modified seeds. In 2007, then U.S. ambassador to France Craig Stapleton was concerned about France’s decision to ban cultivation of genetically modified corn produced by biotech giant Monsanto. He also warned that a new French environmental review standard could spread anti-biotech policy across Europe.'

The French do have a reputation for going in their own direction. And they have influenced the EU to ban GMOs.

This latest cable shows that US Diplomats in Europe were instigating their own government to find ways to PUNISH the EU farmers because they did NOT want to buy MONSANTO genetically modified seeds (GMOs) or food products! The side effects suspected by GMOs is staggering, including modified organisms that have NEVER been in the human food chain! The recent upsurge of allergies in children for instance, is being blamed on global warming ... but ...
Strangely enough, while linking this subject of Monsanto and GMO side effects, I found more than a few websites about this subject to have redirections or other insertions that disallow you to see the site. Hacking? By who? Let your own mind mull that one.

Many who have travelled or visited France, understand their reverence for food. The French style of food production, preparation and quality takes precedence over everything else! When you are on a passenger train, it can actually be rerouted to a side rail while a food train bringing fresh Strawberries from Provence to Paris races by at breakneck speed, so important is that freshness. And dining is what many tourists go to Europe for in the first place. American lobbyists have for decades been trying to change the German Purity Law (reinheitsgebot) to allow certain chemicals and ingredients to be added to beer brewing. GMO wheat for one example.
The EU has banned GMOs in general, but you can see that they are under huge pressure to change.

It is estimated that in North America, 80% of all the foods we now eat contain GMO products. Which by the way, are suspected of all those harmful side effects or possibly even DNA altering effects? Compliments of Monsanto Chemicals and others. And many wonder why the FDA is not protecting Americans?

It was also revealed in the latest cables released that some US diplomats were working directly FOR Monsanto! No wonder the USA is mad at Julian Assange but we can only hope they keep revealing these things.

Is WikiLeaks all bad for spilling this? Didn't they also reveal lately information about how the big banks cheat the world? Didn't they also reveal the duplicity of the Chinese with information showing while they were calling for the West to reduce satellite potential weapons they were secretly developing their own? Do we want to continue to hush and pretend these revelations don't concern us? Will we go on believing that the powers that be are working in OUR best interests? Is America complicit in their attitude to corporations who have no interest in the well being of the populace other than profit? Is the USA becoming the rogue state in the world! Are there things we need to know that no one but WikiLeaks will tell us?

Get going on your own research and see where it leads you. Are you some of the people some of the time? Or all of the people all of the time?
So again; Is WikiLeaks bad or good?

Mass deaths of creatures

So we all took notice when five thousand Red-wing Blackbirds suddenly fell out of the sky dead in Arkansas. Strange. Then 100,000 Drum fish died in a stream not too far away. And 500 more Blackbirds in Louisiana.
Then the stories exploded into mainstream news and became world wide events.

40,000 Devil crabs in Britain. Thousands more Starlings in England with blood coming from their beaks. Other Doves in America with a blue substance on them. Jackdaws dead in Sweden. Snapper fish in New Zealand. More birds in Italy and Brazil. Thousands of Spot fish in Chesapeak Bay, hundreds of seals washing up in Labrador. The Russians say they have seen two million birds die.

Some scientists say it is the flu. But wouldn't even birds just sit down with the flu? Would they go flying in flocks? They tell us pollution, parasites and disease can cause mass deaths. Yet post mortems are inconclusive. These fortean events seem to be indescribable by those who should know.
So what exactly IS causing mass deaths of certain species? Why are they happening so suddenly everywhere?

Perhaps one needs to look towards HAARP. The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program tucked into the forest in Alaska, operated by the US Air Force.
HAARP runs an ionospheric research program associated with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. (DARPA) Its overt purpose is to analyze the ionosphere and investigate the potential for developing ionospheric enhancement technology for radio communications and surveillance purposes. There are many speculations about it's covert purpose.
The most prominent instrument at the HAARP Station is the Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI), a high power radio frequency transmitter facility operating in the high frequency (HF) band. The IRI is used to temporarily excite a limited area of the ionosphere. Other instruments, such as a VHF and a UHF radar, (these frequencies fall into the microwave range) a fluxgate magnetometer, a digisonde and an induction magnetometer, are used to study the physical processes that occur in the excited region.
The esoteric tech words describe the process. It has been said that HAARP can now pinpoint areas on Earth, and actually make clouds boil! Reminders of Tesla research. We are wondering how accurate and how focused these areas can be?

Hmm. Got your tin hat on yet? So, could this recent activity of dead animals be the result of creating and pinpointing very narrow excited areas? Using finely directed microwaves could mean sending them anywhere, even underwater.
It is said the apparatus for HAARP is a reversal of a radio telescope; antenna send out signals instead of receiving. HAARP is the test run for a super-powerful radiowave beaming technology that lifts areas of the ionosphere by focusing a beam and heating those areas. Electromagnetic waves then bounce back onto earth and penetrate everything - living and dead.
But then just boiling an area with high power microwaves would certainly cause ALL the creatures in that area to die. Why only specific species?

Is there a genetic connection? Can certain genes be excited by a specific frequency pulse wave? Is HAARP experimenting with that right now? Is it possible that parts of DNA chains can be analyzed, as in targeting a certain known and unique gene within an RNA chain? That would account for only one species of birds at a time falling dead while others just fly on. Beaming in on a specific gene can be done chemically now. As in smart pills and brave pills fed to the US Army. And other chemicals that can target race, for instance. Can frequency be used?

Scientists have experimented and discovered that 7.83 Hz (earth´s pulse rate made a person ‘feel good´ producing an altered-state. 10.80 Hz causes riotious behavior and 6.6 Hz causes depression. They have made extreme low frequency (ELF) waves change RNA and DNA. These waves naturally exist in the earth´s ‘electromagnetic' cavity, the space between the ground and the ionosphere. These ‘earth brainwaves´ are identical to the spectrum of our brainwaves.
Is the use of HAARP's powerful potential being focused into a pinpoint for military use? What exact power could that be? Control of Earth's weather? Control of your brain? Control of your DNA? Manipulation of your DNA? An advance of Tesla technology to make the ultimate military weapon. Is it the Star Wars of the future future? Is 1984 a bit late but here?

And we are not even suggesting tsunamis, the recent activity of many volcanoes, the Haiti earthquake or the floods in Australia have anything to do with HAARP. But ... um ....
There are more questions than answers about HAARP, which will always be the way of military installations where secrecy is foremost.
But some of us begin to wonder about Earth's mysteries.
Give me another stick of gum, I need more tinfoil.

Sarah Palin's hit list

The gunsite crosshairs on the targets.

What did they actually expect to happen?
Need anyone say more?

Conspiracy Theory in development

John P. Wheeler III, a man who had many connections in Washington, was found dead in a Delaware land fill recently. The police have said it was a homicide.
Wheeler was a man who served his country over a lifetime and had a huge list of accomplishments:
a graduate of Harvard and Yale, West Point Academy, Army Officer, a staff officer at the Pentagon, wrote manuals on biological and chemical munitions, worked within President Ronald Reagan's administration, responsible for the Vietnam War Vet memorial, worked with both Presidents Bush, and for the Securities Exchange Commission in the early 80s, was Special Assistant to the Air Force Secretary until 2008 developing the cyberspace research center, worked for a defense contractor as a consultant, had day to day interactions with the office of the Secretary of Defense. In short, did a lot of work for various causes and military and government institutions.
But did that 'defense contractor' phrase twig you too? You have to dig to find more. I was looking for a connection to Haliburton, of course, but learned other strange things. The defense contractor was the Mitre Corporation, described as the creepiest secret corporation one could imagine. The Mitre corporation is headed by a former Director of Central Intelligence! Appointed by Henry Kissinger! And the Mitre Corp has connections the FAA, the US DoD, Homeland Security etc.
And with Ptech.
Ptech is a secretive software computer company owned by a Saudi and suspected by some to have placed software coding insertions into military and government computer systems on 9-11, enabling an over-ride condition on all of them. They have been investigated and accused of connections to terrorist financing. They are also important in the development of Oracle, a database system used by the US Department of Homeland Security.

The specific job of these two is to look at the interoperability issues the FAA has with NORAD and the Air Force in case of emergency. You know, like the emergency of 9-11 for instance when NORAD and the whole US Air Force failed to protect anyone. (gawd it's hard not to type Dick Cheney right now)

The truck delivering garbage to the dump was stopped after seeing the body in its trash and its route determined after discovering the body in its trash. The route was miles from his home.
Further digging points to items about the murder of Wheeler. His neighbors complained about his TV blaring for two days but no one appeared to be home. When police went in they took away two chairs and the floorboards they had been placed on! Hmm, every spy show turns up the TV volume as they torture someone. His wife had been away. He was seen in other areas (10th and Orange streets in Wilmington) not on his route home.

What did Wheeler know that cost him his life? From his connections, he knew everything. Was his death a warning to others?
The cause of his death has not been confirmed and the police are awaitin toxicology reports and more forensic testing. The FBI is also involved. Wheeler was 66.

So it goes on. A conspiracy theory in the birthing. Wheeler evidently felt his country had let down Vietnam war vets. Did he feel a repeat scenario with Gulf War vets? Did he know something about 9-11?
Stay tuned.

2 - ongoing -
Now a taxi driver has been interviewed by the police as a result of Wheeler's cell phone being found. The police did not reveal this, the cabbie did.
The taxi driver's number was IN Wheeler's phone data bank. Not as a call but as a contact! He said he has no connection to Wheeler, never knew him, but does give out business cards to customers who ride in his cab. But he declared that Wheeler had never been in his cab. The strange part of course, is why would Wheeler have taken the number off the card and added it into his data bank? IF he did.
They interviewed the cabbie known as Scottie twice and one interrogation lasted over three hours. Which leads one to wonder why so long?
And the cabbie declared that he thought he was being harrassed. Which implies two more ideas: one is that the police believe Scottie knows more than he is telling. Two, is that THEY know more than they are telling. As in they KNOW what they are after, but aren't saying, therefore making any interview longer because they have to work around protecting their own knowledge without exposing it.
Hmm. Was Wheeler about to or had he made a stealth contact with some entity like WikiLeaks? One of the warnings on the WikiLeaks website advises carefully on how to contact them without placing yourself in jeopardy; like not being in your immediate area, even to saying to make sure the postal place you might use has no surveilance cameras etc. Is that why Wheeler was far away from his usual route home?
Other classmates from his West Point days who were still immediate friends, say it would have taken two or more to hoist his 255 lb body into a dumpster.
Stay tuned.

Am I the only one who thinks this way? No!

WikiLeaks - do you care?

If you are serious about learning about this new phenomenon on the web and in the news, you might take a look at this Swedish produced documentary on the cyber entity. It could form your opinion, or change it.
If you are interested in the future of the internet, you should take the time to view it. If you are interested in demystifying Julian Assange, you should view it. If you are interested in free communication, you must watch it.
If you are here because you simply believe conspiracy theories, you should leave, this video is no theory.

Pay particular attention to the comment from a soldier in the helicopter gunship cockpit after the destruction of the minivan. Start at 25:30. If you are not too sick by then, go back and watch the whole video, then ask yourself why this isn't headline news on every TV station in the world?

Common things

There are certain things about the current WikiLeaks furor that bring back the past. The difference is that today we have instant communication and knowledge of actual goings on. Or the potential of.
Back in the days of the Viet Nam war. We heard only what news was meant for North America via newspaper and TV reports and what the precarious pipeline of independent news gatherers were able to report. Which was published in underground tabloid newspapers. It was the beginning of the era where the government controls the news to the people back home.

This was furthered in the news during the first Gulf War when Peter Arnett reported direct from Baghdad and was eventually disgraced and fired for his truths.

There are many stories from Viet Nam vets on the conduct of that war. Instances of distortion of the truth that grew in volume as Lyndon Johnson took over direct management of the conflict in Indo-China.

A Sergeant in the Army returns to his commander after a foray into the jungle. "What happened with your squad, today, soldier?" His superior asks.
"We lost two men Sir, and killed three Viet Cong."
The Captain retorts in a gruff voice, "No, soldier, tell me again what happened."
Causing the young Sergeant to stammer a second reply, "Sir, We lost two soldiers in a firefight. We know we killed two enemy in the attack and think we got two more."
The Captain sighs. Stands up behind his desk, intimidating the young soldier, and says, "No no no. You must have it wrong. You killed ten Cong commies and lost none?"
"Um, Sir?"
"You hard of hearing Sergeant? You heard what I said. Now what exactly did you say?"
The Sergeant, swallows visibly, straightens to attention and takes a stab at another answer. "Sir! We killed ten Viet Cong and came back with no casualties. Sir!"
"Thank you, Sergeant. Dismissed."

The Captain then reports this accounting to his own superior, who says, "Captain, that is exactly NOT what happened today. Exactly what happened is that a squad of our troops attacked the enemy in spite of their overwhelming numbers, but with our superior training, skill and weaponry they killed 200 Viet Cong and lost none of our brave soldiers."

The report goes to the another officer higher up the chain. Who nods his head and then says, "These reports go right to General Westmoreland now who sends them directly to President Johnson."
And he then proceeds to write a memo to the General - "Our platoon had no losses today but over 500 Viet Cong were killed in a fierce firefight near Hanoi. We expect to liberate the city soon."

And an independent newspaper reporter, sitting in a cafe in Saigon, sipping French coffee, who read this latest report in an American newspaper and commented to a friend. "So far, with my math, we have killed over twice the population of North Vietnam? Doesn't anyone get it?"
The reporter disappeared the next day. Saigon was a dangerous place.

And so began the fear of truth in the modern era of media reporting. And so began the intent to kill the messenger. The web today may be the last bastion of truth to the people.
Is WikiLeaks the messenger?

Secret goings on?

You read it here first.
Several months ago, the Chinese set the other world military powers agog with a demonstration of their capabilities. They shot down a satellite in space!
It was one of their own but they showed they could do it and sent a chill throughout the industrial military complexes of many nations, most of all, the US. If space is to become a factor in world warfare, then space ship satellites cruising miles overhead need to be impervious from attack from the ground.

So then, a few weeks ago, a news helicopter filmed a rocket rising from somewhere west of Los Angeles. No one knew what it was. See the article and video below Chemtrails/Contrails/Missiles for an explanation. The Pentagon denies knowing what that missile was. Trying to pass it off as a contrail from a commercial airliner. Well we all know that the Pentagon never tells the truth. (not that they are obligated to tell us the truth)

So then, just the other day, the US announces that it's space craft/flyer, the X37B Ordital Test Vehicle has just landed after a successful secret mission into space. This 'plane' was built by Boeing's Phantom Works Division for NASA originally until the US Airforce Rapid Capabilities Office took it over. It was secretly launched in April of this year on a seven month test mission.

Now, considering what the implications are that something like this could be shot down from the ground by an enemy force, wouldn't you think a test would be in order while this vehicle was orbiting?
Just what was it doing up there? Technologies to be tested included advanced guidance, navigation and control, thermal protection systems, avionics, high temperature structures and seals, conformal reusable insulation, and lightweight electromechanical flight systems. Or so we are told.
In addition, the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle will demonstrate autonomous orbital flight; upon command from the ground, the OTV autonomously re-enters the atmosphere, descends and lands horizontally on a runway. So wouldn't the US Air Force need to KNOW their systems worked by performing an ultimate test? Shooting one of their own most advanced missiles at their project, (with fail safe capabilities of course, perhaps programmed to disintegrate or just go off into space silently forever) would be something they would need to know. So making sure they could detect, and thwart any attempt from Earthlings to interfere with the conquest of humanity.

So could that missile launch in California recently have been a test to confirm their secret X37B vehicle would be safe up there? Unable to be shot down? Watching us below? Shadowing us with impudence? Even arrogance. Threatening us all into submission and slavery? Zapping us by laser with no fear of retaliation.

Sure the thing looks like a huge slug. But we never thought Jabba the Hutt was dangerous either, and look at the trouble he caused Princess Leia and Luke.

WikiLeaks or does it?

There seems to be a huge furor over the revelations of documents by the website, WikiLeaks. They are saying the thousands of revealing items are placing people in jeopardy of their jobs, soldiers at risk, secret identities exposed or even war plans!

But so far, all we have seen are documents which show that diplomats, and people in government or military sending things to each other are simply human. Is calling Angela Merkel 'teflon' an insult or a compliment? I would suspect the 'Teflon Don', John Gotti considered it a badge. Hilary Clinton is aghast that people in the State Department have nicknames for their counterparts.
Are they revealing troop movements? Isn't that WWII stuff? Seems to me when the US invaded Iraq there were reporters already waiting on the shores to film the Marine landings! It was on the Six O'Clock news and no one bitched then. Now America has a carrier heading for the Yellow Sea off Korea. We all know it. Stealth no longer applies.

So here comes my raison d'etre - there might be someone out here in blogland, who believes there is a stealthy movement afoot to take control of the internet. Not just to destroy WikiLeaks, but control of ALL the internet. There is entirely TOO MUCH freedom going on there. Anyone with an opinion can now blog it. And put wicked ideas that politicians are corrupt into the heads of the people. And anyone with a cell phone cam can prove it! Dangerous people!
So is there too much reaction to WikiLeaks?
Will there be a sudden move to take complete control of the internet entirely? The Patriot Act ensured that Homeland Security would be able to monitor everything you do anyway. How much further can they go? Some would like this wild freedom of expression ended.

And here's the trick; to limit your communication in the first place. Rather than wait for the ethereal product to go whizzing through the sky and then defend against it with a midnight raid to your home by men in black. Why not just stop it at its source . . . you.
Someone's idea might be that you can send an email to your neighbor down the street, but not to a cousin from Seattle to Miami. Way too far. Across the seas out of the question. Mohammed to Mustafa? No way. Criticize the government? No way too.

As for leaders calling other leaders names, wasn't it Canada's Jean Chretien who publically called George Bush a moron? No need for stealth there either. Just saying it like it is (was) (still is) Is it new info that we think Muammar Khadafi is a jerk? That the Saudis are sponsoring Al Qaeda? That the president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is crazy?

Oh, by the way, speaking of putting people in jeopardy, wasn't it the Bush/Cheney cadre that outed a CIA asset/spy Valerie Plame? By instructions to the treasonous 'journalist puppet', Robert Novak.

Seems to me WikiLeaks can't do worse than that.


addenda - the following day a massive 'denial of service' cyber attack took place against the WikiLeaks website. Thwarted for the time being because they anticipated it and had arrangements in place for temporary service if need be. They also released an encrypted file, called insurance.aes256, and encouraged people to download this file, where it could be made public at any time by with the release of the password by WikiLeaks! Already there are 61 seed sites available. The inner war is on.

update: The war against WikiLeaks seems to be heating up. As if the CIA is changing into high gear. Someone, somewhere is pulling out all the stops. Freedom of speech needs to be quashed. Ebay was influenced to stop renting WikiLeaks any bandwidth on its servers. Sweden is going to arrest Assange because two prostitutes have suddenly complained. Twitter has been threatened. PayPal forced to stop collecting donations. And now Mastercard too. Is this legal? Even a university forum had the warning to students from officials that anyone twittering or suggesting facebook contacts between WikiLeaks and humans could result in compromising future employment! Something ominous about the reaction to WikiLeaks from the powers that be, isn't there?

Today in History - - - November 24

Lee Harvey Oswald.
While the world was still reeling at the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, we saw the alleged perpetrator of the crime, caught and killed only two days later, and on national TV!
And these many years on we can only marvel at the speed with which his apprehension for the crimes happened. And the positive assertion that Oswald was undoubtedly the lone killer of Officer Tippit and Kennedy.
All these instant conclusions would be astounding even in todays era of nanosecond web communication. Yet over these years so many nagging doubts still evoke questions.

Oswald was supposed to have shot Kennedy from a 6th floor coign of vantage in the Texas Schoolbook Depository, with a Mannlicher-Carcano rifle. But first it was identified as a 7.65 Italian Mauser, by sherrifs and FBI Special Agents. Affidavits were signed. Then it became a 6.5 Carcano rifle. Why? Because the FBI discovered that Oswald HAD purchased a Carcano, but NOT a Mauser. And even other rifles are now mentioned. And it took a world class marksman from the Army to nearly duplicate the 3 shots in 4.5 second feat! Other trained US Marine snipers said it could not be done.
And an almost perfect bullet 'appeared' on the stretcher bearing the President's body. A bullet that went through TWO bodies. That looks as if the Lone Ranger put it there!

Oswald was even identified by someone who SAW him up there from across the street! Is that believeable today?

Oswald was supposedly seen being questioned by Tippit shortly after leaving his job and taking to the streets. Witnesses said they saw him shoot Tippit. They even saw him REloading his handgun while fleeing! Does that sound like a frightened killer? Yet other witnesses said another car pulled up, a man got out and shot Tippit and then roared away! Someone else saw two men who were NOT Oswald. Witnesses even identified a different assailant as heavy set, wearing a long overcoat. Many witnesses claimed intimidations and threats about their testimonys. Several eye-witnesses died soon after.
The Warren Commission ignored most of it.

And what was Officer Tippit up to on the hour before he died? Why was he far out of his patrol area? Why did he suddenly rush to 10th Street and stop to make a phone call in a cafe but only listened and said nothing? Why did he seem panicked when he made the call? He left his car radio at a crucial time. Then he was seen cruising very slowly. Why was Tippit known in the area he died in? Some witnesses thought he lived nearby. But it was miles from his patrol area and his home?

How did anyone know Oswald's path of exit? Was it coincidence? Happenstance? Or enemy action? Officer Tippit was directed exactly where to go, minutes after the murder. Then radioed back when he was in position. Why was Tippit directed to 10th St? Was he? The Dallas police lieutenant who may have directed Tippit that day, Harry Dean Thomas, married his widow three years later.
The shells from the shooting were gathered by policeman, J.M. Poe, and he marked them with his initials, however the shell casings eventually entered into evidence had no such markings.

Oswald went to his rooming house first. Who were the two policemen who stopped in front, gave two horn honks and went away? Then he went to a movie theatre. Why did he go there instead of staying on a bus and getting far away? Was he under a prearranged instruction to go to that theatre? Part of a plan to have him where someone wanted him? Did someone give him a revolver there? Perhaps the very revolver just used to kill Tippit? Perhaps by the very person who DID kill Tippit? The revolver in his possession was fully loaded with no empty chambers. And he had no additional ammunition with him. So if Oswald shot Tippit four times, and REloaded, then he must have had only had four extra bullets with him? Seems too odd, doesn't it?

Oswald was constant in his claim that he was a patsy. He was innocent. He never shot anybody. And more than one scholar who has gone through the whole case has said the Mexico and Soviet Union implications could have easily pointed to Oswald being a CIA spy.
Alas, all these years later we are still suspicious, yet nowhere near advanced in our factuals about how it happened. The circumstances seem just too complex. The evidence now too scattered. Diffused. Lost. Misinformation and disinformation. Indeed, but we have more questions than ever.
His actions seem to be a response to suddenly realizing he had been set up. Confusion, desperation, the compounding of events leading him to take a predetermined escape route as his only hope. A route designed by who?

Lee Harvey Oswald was never actually charged with killing the Presdient.

CHEMtrails vs CONtrails vs Missiles

Many of us chemtrail believers are in a constant argument with the disbelievers.
Those are Contrails, they shout, you guys are wearing tin hats! Who would spray stuff in the shy?
So we shout back, Chemtrails! The mix lingers in the sky for hours! And on and on.

Then along comes an entirely different trail billowing up into the sky. The video recorded this time by a Sky2 News helicopter in Los Angeles. Even the glowing engine of the rocket can seen.




The Pentagon has since declared it as simply a CONtrail. Perhaps a jet on its way to Disneyland, er, okaaay.
The US Navy denies any knowledge. The Air Force says it doesn't know what it was. Vandenberg AFB denies any launchings.
One thing we might be sure of, if the Pentagon is telling us stuff about things like this, then we can be pretty sure they are lying, by their recent history of explaining how a 767 vanished into their own concrete building.
And if NORAD is reassuring us, then we can be pretty sure we should be afraid because of their history of being unable to scramble F18s against a threatening aircraft in the air for 40 minutes AFTER the WTC buildings 'collapsed'.

One thing all of us skywatchers on opposing sides of the CON/CHEMtrail debate do know, is what a missile launch looks like.
And that is a missile.

The scary part is if they REALLY don't know.

Conspiracy theorists. Where from?

The argument that many people who believe a certain conspiracy idea start out thinking in paranoic terms is not so. Those arguments are often convoluted and stretched to fit their premise. Some twisted minds automatically believe anything against a government, or corporation, or political party because of some pain they have been inflicted with.
Yet others begin with a simple, seemingly innocent question. A seed of an idea that begins to grow and bloom with either suspicious answers or a telling silence.

Conspiracies are born when someone tries to hide or distort the truth amid a series of obvious lies or through so many omissions that the prevarication becomes evident. When the simple seeking of information becomes purposely clouded in disinformation the red flags go up.

To name just a few suspicions that fuel these kinds of ideas;
The JFK conspiracy was born from just too many incidents: like when a pristine undeformed bullet appeared on JFK's stretcher carrying his body. AND when witnesses to the murder of officer Tippet conflicted yet only those who said they saw Oswald were used. AND when Oswald was shot within one day. AND, when the powers that be had to enlist the best army sharpshooter to duplicate shots with a Mannlicher-Carcano rifle from the Schoolbook Depository. AND when the people who heard and saw actions from the 'grassy knoll' were ignored. AND when 10 eyewitnesses 'mysteriously' died in the 6 months immediately after. And when Jack Ruby suddenly died. AND when the Warren Commission ignored or did NOT include many pertinent facts in their summery report. And even years later the fire was stoked again when George HW Bush lied about his presence in Dallas that day until it was proven he was there. Etc etc.
Is there a valid reason that people would NOT start to believe something was afoul?

The 9-11 conspiracy has been born because simple questions and what should be obvious evidence is being withheld from the public knowledge.
Like of the 214 surveillance camera sequences that were confiscated near the Pentagon by the FBI on the day, we only get 4 FRAMES to 'show' it was an airliner. AND when NORAD and the US military in charge of protecting America from terrorism is totally useless in that they don't scramble masses of F15s. AND when the First Responders, firemen and police all swear there were explosions in the basements of WTC 1 and 2. AND when a steel structured high rise building falls down from fire for the first time in history. AND when airliners crash into the earth and the Pentagon but leave NO trace when every previous crash in history does leave tail and fusilage. AND when the steel is immediately shipped off to China before the NTSB can even do a single test of that steel. AND when President George W Bush is called to testify it is behind closed doors with an agreement that nothing will be recorded and he brings his 'handler', Dick Cheney with him.

Other conspiracies form from a history of stealth and manipulation, from the first denials of friendly fire incidents to `false flag` operations. Like when it is PROVEN that the Gulf of Tonkin incident was faked. And that Agent Orange WAS sprayed over innocent people. And when the CIA actually have the resources to start their own secret airline. And when the US Government admits to having 83,000 employees doing nothing but adding misinformation, counteracting negative publicity and conspiracy theories in newspapers, web forums etc, thereby spreading DISinformation.

Conspiracy theorists are not the paranoids who would shout about the voices they hear in their heads, even though those sufferers jump onto the theories right away, no, conspiracy theorists are those who only want a simple answer that they KNOW is easily given but withheld for whatever reason. They are the ones who, only through the process of elimination of the spin stories, see that the truth, whatever it may be, is being manipulated and fed to the people.
Accepting that manufactured truth is something certain people cannot do. In spite of the shadow of fear and threat cast with it. It defies their logic, reason and intelligence.

Call them what you will, but they are willing to face the ridicule in searching for the truth.
Kind of a brave thing to do, actually.

Keep asking questions.

Today in History - October 30

On this day in 1938. Orson Welles went onto the radio airwaves with a fictional broadcast of a Martian invasion of Earth; War of the Worlds. The radio show, from Mercury Theatre on the Air, was written to sound like breaking news. The War of the Worlds was adapted from HG Wells' novel, written, directed and narrated by Orson Welles.
People were shot by fearful others. It caused caused panic in the streets. Aliens were seen everywhere, and even though the broadcast frequently issued disclaimers that it was only entertainment, Welles' script was so believable to the thousands who were tuned in that havoc ensued and in the succeeding days, turned to outrage over having been duped so convincingly.
Perhaps Orson Welles revealed how easily masses of people could be manipulated into fear.
And did Joseph Goebells, who was then Reich Minister of Propaganda in Nazi Germany take notice too, that scary night in 1938? He perfected the Big Lie technique in propaganda, which is based on the principal that a lie, if audacious enough, and repeated enough times, will be believed by the masses.
Today many thousands suspect the prewar episode was updated for the 21st century, the action a little different, the alien characters changed, modern technologically enhanced, and repeated on September 11, 2001 with Dick Cheney in the Orson Welles part.

The people remain manipulated into fear and perhaps believing the big, audacious, repeated lie.

Technology news

Wow, look at this news item from the technology section of ABC News:
Cell Phones on Airlines: Coming Soon to a Seat Near You?

More and more international airlines are offering in-flight cell services and it might not be long before calls are routine on domestic U.S. flights as well. Cathay Pacific has now announced that, starting in 2012, it will equip its entire fleet with an onboard cell phone system for GSM mobile phones. Virgin Atlantic announced a similar plan last month for its newest planes.
Here in the U.S. the Federal Communications Commission prevents domestic carriers from following their international peers, and legislation is pending in Congress to ban in-flight cell-phone conversations. But some in the industry say it's only a matter of time before American airlines start bringing voice communication to the friendly skies.

Aviation Week, in 2004 printed - 'Qualcomm and American Airlines are exploring ways for passengers to use commercial cell phones inflight for air-to-ground communication'. They did a test with the aircraft being equipped with a special antenna in the front and rear of the cabin to transmit cell phone calls to a small in-cabin CDMA cellular base station. This "pico cell" transmitted cell phone calls from the aircraft via a Globalstar satellite to the worldwide terrestrial phone network.
Randy Petersen, editor and publisher of InsideFlyer magazine said, "We will see this in U.S. airplanes in the near future."

In the future? WTF?
Don't these people who are on the cutting edge of modern cell phone technology realize that way back there in September of 2001, there were several cell calls made with 2001 technology cell phones from an aircraft at speed up there at altitude in the sky?
Didn't they hear Mark Bingham say "Hello Mom, this is your son Mark Bingham."? He also said, "You believe me, don't you?"
Did they miss Cee Cee Lyles saying, "I'm on a plane. I'm on a plane that's been hijacked. I'm calling from the plane." and "Tell my children I love them ..." Not naming her children.
And a whole mess of other cell phone calls, all purportedly from that tragic Flight 93 while flying way up there in the air.

And a note; cell phone calls are not to be confused with airphone calls.

Nice to think that someday we'll be able to call friends and relatives from a plane in the air from a cell phone! Wonder who made all those other calls on that day?

Haven't these advanced thinking techies ever heard of 9-11? Shanksville? UAL Flight 93? Well evidently not.

But we have, haven't we?
