Clever Conceptions

The best inventions are always to serve you better. Some of these thoughts must have been rewarded with bonuses for the brainy idea people!

One of the very first brain-storming sessions might have seen the CEO of a company at a meeting of department heads, he looks bleak as he declares, "I'm afraid we can no longer put 16 ounces of product into our boxes, we must use a smaller amount to be profitable. We'll have to cut it down to 12."
To which a bright young wit replies, "But we don't have to make the boxes smaller." And so started the trend that pisses off many consumers.

The Aero Chocolate bar - 50% of what you pay for is air! "Let's pump air into the liquid mix of chocolate, it'll fluff up the bar and actually put 50% LESS chocolate but still look big!"
The guy in that room must have got a Vice Presidency in charge of Prevarication! Kind of fitting that the Aero comes from Nestle, which loves ripping people off.

Were not sure if the Nestles guy stole the idea of air from those tooth-paste companies who program their toothpaste filler machines to inject a huge air pocket into the tube so when you squeeze after the first two brushings nothing comes out until you get rid of all that air you just paid for.

And there are those pill vials, that give you a huge wad of cotton instead of filling it with medicine pills! You're supporting the cotton industry AND Big Pharma. They use more cotton than the Levi corporation.

But that's not even in the ballpark of more sinister ideas and inventions, some of them a foreshadowing of a stultifying potential. Have a look at these and see how many you have embraced after concentrated spin from back room manipulators? All under the guise of using data to serve you better! The information merchants are hard at it, and rarely for your benefit. The modern world is becoming downright scary.

Is your smart phone too smart? Is it spying on you? Of course it was/is. It just came out that Google spies on you and even when your phone is off it can still send messages to - someone- . We all saw the Bourne movies when Matt Damon just opened his phone and tossed out the SIM card. Or took the battery out so the phone wouldn't track him with no power. Jason could go 'off the grid' at will.
But not anymore.
The secret powers counteracted that action very quickly by sealing your battery and SIM card into the case! What a great idea to stop you from disappearing without sending info to - someone -. Now you have to pry the phone apart to get into it, and things inside are designed to break if you try!

Computers now do the same thing! Your home puter can be known to anyone, but your traveling laptop? Hmm. You used to have an extra battery in Toshibas and other laptops. You could just click a button and the battery fell out for a new one if you were not convenient to a charger.
No more, that battery now stays secreted into your machine so you can be tracked anywhere you go. You can turn your computer off, but not your battery! Sending GPS info to - someone -. That inbuilt battery means your computer can stay awake all night, perhaps recording your snores or listening to your conversations when you believe you are whisper safe from surveillance. Not so, someone is watching and hearing your comments. Just because that little glowing red light is not on, doesn't mean your webcam is not spying on you.

The low tech foil for this one is a piece of paper folded over the camera lens. Even former FBI Director James Comey said once that everyone should put opaque tape over their computer webcams to protect their privacy. That sounds terribly simplistic, but it works. (and he acknowledged the spying)
But there are plenty of people, not just the NSA or FBI, but also creeps, criminals, teachers and creditors, who will use your webcam, and also your computer's microphone, to spy on you. But we're not talking about the common criminals, are we.

And who has not Googled embroidery on their computer and got sewing machine ads for weeks after! Google tracks everything you search for. Everything. But of course they say they do it for better ads targeted for you. (Try DuckDuckGo or Startpage for privacy from tracking)

Smart TVs can access the internet now. Of course they have voice recognition and only surf if you tell them you are looking for the actors in that show you are watching. Right? Wrong. A magazine recently bought a new Smart TV, took it apart and discovered a camera implanted BEHIND the screen which watched YOU watching TV!
What if you subscribe to that porn channel? Somebody might have seen you doing, THAT! OMG! What if you're like me and tried watching the film, 'The Right Stuff' and turned it off because it was straight propaganda! What message does that send to - someone - about your patriotism?
But regardless, that is a true intrusion into your privacy! The companies who do it say they just want to see your reaction to certain advertising, to make better commercials for YOU in the future! Sure they do. Makes me wonder what their vision is of our future. Well I know what it is, keep reading.

And of course you know that the 'smart-meter' that the electric company installed on your house is telling - someone - if you are at home or not, and what time you arrive home, and what time you leave in the morning. But you knew that, didn't you?


Here is one of the best yet, the CIA guy who brought this one up at a meeting in their lead-shielded three-stories-underground basement bunker probably got rewarded a tropical island for it -  Scenario; "Let's get a little device that listens to everything you say in your home, a perfect high tech spy, and put it into people's houses, and it can send us all the info it collects." Erp!

"How would we ever do that," the Director of Dirty Tricks asks, while wiping his nose on his sleeve, "without them knowing?"
The response from Special Agent Wit is pure gold, "Oh they will know. We'll just tell the people it is good for them, protects them from harm, from terrorists and can make their lives wonderful like an old time Disney sleepy town show! You know, like Archie and Veronica and the worst thing in life is a pimple. But it will be sending a report to us on a regular schedule."
Director of D.T., scratching his spinning head asks, "Would they buy such an idea?"
"YES, virtually buy it in a store, actually pay dollars for it! The people will be implanting a CIA spy right into their homes themselves and love it because it can be asked a question and immediately tell us what Ginger's measurements are while watching Gilligan and the Skipper!" He took applause from his peers on that one.
And you thought a child monitor was good.
Director of D.T. Now itching with nervous excitement. "That's a reach isn't it?"  Nope. Here's how it will work  ....

.... and now the public is shopping for an Echo, Apple Siri and Homepod, Google Home Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Microsoft Cortana, all capable of spying on you 24/7. You can bet your Echo chatter is reverberating through many dark subterranean vaults.

I downloaded the newest Windows 10 when it became available, which included Cortana, a 'personal assistant', read some things about it and decided I would go back to my Windows 8.1, because that mystic Windows 10 design made me wonder who was really behind that lighted blue logo window.
I found out that Cortana, even though I had recovered 8.1 onto my puter, STILL ran itself! Took me a long time to get rid of that spy. If I ever did!
And you can change Alexa's voice to a sexy whisper, as she obediently does what she is told, all while she is digitizing your voice and sending every word to - someone - . Don't ask her about her CIA connection though, she kind of panics and pouts.

Your car's GPS follows you. NorthStar with a warm friendly voice, says. "I am here with you, just turn left in one mile, all is just fine, don't worry." But if you have anything like a new automobile, you have lots of other computers built in now too, including a little black box, like aircraft have that can tell exactly what you were doing before your crashed! And because it can send out info too, your car can now be hacked and taken control of remotely! Stopping, speeding and steering, wherever - someone - else wants you to go. When you press the gas pedal you're not stretching a wire to your carburetor, you're sending an electronic signal to the engine. One that can he sent remotely by a hacker!

Perhaps a terrifying effect of that one is when investigative journalist Michael Hastings, was hot on the trail of a corrupt military official and his new Mercedes crashed late one night at high speed into a tree on a straight road and killed him. The engine was flung 200 feet down the street! Buy an old beater if you are worried. Many believe Hastings' car was simply taken over and driven into that tree. There is nothing more dangerous to the powers-that-be than an investigative writer!

They caught Cisco Routers being intercepted a while ago by the CIA, tech guys who actually opened the boxes and installed firmware into them to spy on a target and then sent them on to the customers they were interested in monitoring! Of course they could not have done that without cooperation from the company.

And how many other software programs have 'backdoor' access now for that - someone - who needs to know what you are doing in real time? (check out my post on Microsoft being threatened with a breakup some years ago) and Apple made a big legal stink about the potential interference of the FBI!
They invented the system called Carnivore, (scary name) that could be secretly installed on any computer to monitor emails and your online travels. You might not want to search that one, when you do, it stops working and inserts a page that says there is an error and you should click stuff to fix it!

Click your computer off is the thing to do right away! Probably too late, your IP number will already be recorded. Unless you're using the Tor browser, they already know who and where you are.
Clicking an x on some screens doesn't mean 'close' it can also mean 'install'. If you cannot read the HTML, you don't know what it means. Are you afraid yet?

A song I have which was then written about Russia, but now ....
     A knock on the door about a quarter to four,
     they came and then they took me away.
     I dared to disagree and someone told on me,
     they take down everything that you say.
Russia or America?


Do you ever see those questions on Facebook and other social media that say fill out this to find out what your lipstick color tells people about you? Or what car you should buy for your specific personality? Or what is a perfect match for your lover? Something silly like that? In order to do the survey, you have to tell THEM a LOT about YOU! Information that should be on your no-go privacy list. But people still do it and get some answer that says they are smart, inventive, loving and would make a good spouse! Hmm. Meanwhile thanks for giving them your DOB, (date of birth) place of birth, mother's maiden name, high school, best friend and first dog! All meant to cross reference YOU! But don't worry too much if you DID fill it out, it tells them that you are far too dumb to be a threat to anyone.

There is another one - Now DNA companies can make you safe! They will analyze your spit or shit and tell you about yourself! Send them your kid's spit too. Heritage research - you tell THEM everything about you. You thought you were Irish and it turns out you are 19% native Indian, 44% Spanish, 34% Black Dutch Surinamese and only 6% Irish!

But now - someone - has a biotic record of you. One of those groups could be deemed enemies of the state sometime. Perhaps because the DNA pattern has lots of rebels in there somewhere. Someone will be choosing DNA types when they decide to eliminate a certain group of humans from Future Earth. Is it too far into the future to suspect that some military corporation could invent a poison that only attacks certain groups of people?

And we had those futuristic eye scans once, where you couldn't get into the vault without looking directly into HAL. But he's phased out now, we have facial recognition software, which can be programmed into mall cameras, street surveillance cameras, airport cams, football game cams and yes you can now be a Person of Interest and be followed, tracked and with certain software, be deemed a person with intent! Intent to what? Commit a crime, the time is coming when you could be jailed because it is LIKELY you will become violent. They can conclude this from seeing your face! Keep grinning like an idiot, it is now a good thing.

I recently passed an RCMP car beside the road, he pulled out after me, pulled me over and said the owner of the vehicle's license had expired! I was not the owner, but was permitted to drive the vehicle, but their license plate reader had kicked up that real info as I passed! 

So what is the point of all this?
If you haven't figured it out by now, you should know it is giving that mysterious - someone - the ability to completely control every aspect of your life. To neutralize you in event of any future protest or threat you might make to becoming a robotic shadow of yourself.

Taking over the world isn't just a James Bond scenario of Spectre, it is the future plummeting into reality. There are secret cadres working to that end right now. Which coincides with your end. Of liberty! You might say, like millions of others, I'm not doing anything wrong so I don't care. You have nothing to hide.

But that decision may not fit with the secret agenda. Someone else may decide if what you are doing is right or wrong. Someone might think the Irish are still angry at being treated poorly in Boston so long ago and could be a threat to a 'peaceful' ordered society. NWO again.

"Do you have your papers, Sir"?"
"But I am only driving from New Jersey to New York city."
"You need an internal passport now, please turn around and go back home, Sir. You have no business in New York."

Don't roll your eyes and look askance at me because you can't face these abstracted ideas. I'm only the messenger and you can choose to ignore these thoughts or consider them. You need only to think for yourself, something which is being filtered out of our minds in early school days. (a new study showed that 4 year olds have an imagination level of 84%, but by the time they were 14 year olds, that level was down to 13%)

You need to suspect, without paranoia, and just question what happens around you. Pay attention to your news, look through those news items for a true meaning to the actions. Haven't you noticed the TV news lingers on lost dog stories or titillating scandal? Who controls news? Find other sources. They ARE there. Stay away from and never trust MSM. Dig a little. Once you get a tweak, you'll begin gaining ground on the truth.

The intent, however tin hat conspiracy theory it may seem, is to subjugate every person everywhere to the will of -someone - in a dark castle somewhere. The NWO? The Dark State? The Elite? And how could all this craziness be implemented? Just consider how few people control how much industry of the world and you have your answer. SIX corporations control 90% of the news in America. Have you actually thought about how little difference there is between Tories and Conservatives or Republicans and Democrats? They are all just playing the game. Maybe because the same shadowy people control all the parties without even telling them what the game really is.

The new NSA Data Headquarters building in Utah is capable of storing and analyzing every word or action of every human being on Earth, and cross referencing it all for whatever purpose is needed.
Hopefully you won't type your own name in. But you can bet, someone, somewhere is thinking about you, maybe right now. Bill says, "Oh I know Joe, went to school with him in Seattle."

Aha, cross reference.

And you are swallowing the spin about Chinese company Huawei being a spy threat? LMFAO.

Beware of that - someone - you're already in their file.

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid YOU can't do that.

The central dilemma in journalism is that you don’t know what you don’t know. - Bob Woodward.

Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the U.S. media. - Noam Chomsky.

Mentally ill? Media or murderer?

From columnist Tarek Fatah in the Toronto Sun -

No sooner was it revealed that the Toronto mass murderer was a 29-year-old Muslim of Pakistani descent, ‘consultants’ and ‘experts’ lined up on various TV networks twisting themselves into halal pretzels, trying to avoid the elephant in the room staring at them — a Muslim hate crime.

Within hours CBC News obtained an unsigned letter purportedly from the killer’s family, stating the mass shooter Faisal Hussain had a lifelong struggle with “severe mental health challenges,” including “psychosis and depression.”

Thus the subject on the evening news became one of lack of funding of mental health and gun crime, painting the murderer himself as a victim with not even a hint of anger at the man who had declared war on a Toronto street of party goers, killing two girls, 18 and 10. Never once did a single participant have the courage to raise the possibility of the killer being inspired by jihadi teachings that portray partying on streets by women as evil and satanic.

The most apt response to the hours of political correctness came from an Australian Islamic cleric, Imam Mohammed Tawhidi who has been to Canada and is familiar with the Islamist networks in the country. He tweeted: “If you think all these Jihadi terrorists kill because they have a mental illness, then perhaps you are the one with a mental illness. It’s not mental illness, it’s their allegiance.”

Also upset at the endless hours of banality on TV was Ensaf Haider, the Canadian wife of Saudi-held prisoner of conscience, Raif Badawi. She tweeted: “Politically correct reporters keep saying murderer Faisal Hussain suffered ‘mental illness’. Which Islamic terrorist was NOT mentally ill? These jihadis hate women and Faisal aimed at and shot the woman. He’s a jihadi, no doubt about it Shame on CBCNews for covering up the truth.”

If it was not for the Toronto Sun’s Joe Warmington, much of what we now know would have remained concealed. Warmington reported that his “law-enforcement sources confirm investigators are looking at every avenue — including a potential jihadi-inspired mission.”

This was the first time the word ‘jihad’ appeared in the media, where a Toronto Star investigative reporter went as far as to blame all men for the crime. Kenyon Wallace wrote, “why, many are inevitably asking, would someone do such a thing?” Then answering his own question Wallace determined, “In truth, we may never know.”

He then went on to conclude: “Hussain also shared a characteristic in common with many mass murderers, one that has received particular attention in the wake of a string of explicitly misogynistic attacks: he was male.”

However, another male was digging for the truth as in facts, not a discourse in gender studies that would diminish Bin Laden, ISIS, al-Qaida and the Taliban responsibility for crimes against humanity and share it with all of us males as their partners in crime.

In the meantime, Warmington reports that “files being reviewed by police include concern Hussain expressed “support” for a website that was “pro-ISIL” and his visits to Pakistan and Afghanistan.

There are questions that remain unanswered – like which mosque Hussain attended, who scrubbed his social media presence and how it was that his name was withheld until the family issued their polished statement.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

How can we ever stop these hate killings until we accept the truth of their WHY?

Stanley Park - part of Vancouver Resort

Been there lately?
Used to be you could stop anywhere in Stanley Park and walk trails, sit at the beach and read among the logs, watch the ships and sailboats in English Bay, have a swim, have a picnic. Of course you still can, but as Vancouver becomes a tourist town, and ejects the locals and born-here people, it has become extremely expensive to visit.

You now must pay for everything. The cost is $3.50 per hour to park anywhere in the park! Some say that is reasonable, but really? What family can afford say $14.00 to take the kids to the zoo, or the Aquarium (more money) or just for a picnic at Second Beach. You can get a daily pass for $17.00 except if you're near some concessions selling lousy food or plastic ice cream. Then you pay more.
You can get a seasons pass for $225.00 but that is good only from April 1 to September 30. After that you must buy another for $120. from Oct 1 to March 30. They don't say if you have to pay extra for Feb 29th.
And parking is controlled by a contracted company outside of the Vancouver Parks Board, Easy Park. Maybe what is easy about that is their profits for doing nothing but endlessly circling parking areas. And they simply read the electronic meters to see if you paid yet, and if you are too damned slow about it you're nailed for a $40.00 ticket! Including in the darkness of night. So watching the once famous Nine O'clock gun is out unless you time your drive-by!

Several years ago now, they started charging a fee for the Second Beach pool! They might as well have hung a sign on the new chain link fence saying, 'Rich Kids only please', and Lumberman's Arch pool is gone. I was born and raised in Vancouver and took the Sun Free Swimming lessons many years ago at Lumberman's Arch pool. They had little changing tents and taught you the Deadman's Float first. Cost you nothing else.

So gone are the greenhouses, and the famous rose gardens and a lot of the areas you could sit and dream in are covered with blackberry thorn bushes. The money is certainly not going into maintenance, they had a lawn mower once. Then you could roam the park trails for hours and find quiet reflections at Lost Lagoon or Beaver Lake.  (I wonder if that little drinking fountain is still there at a cross-trail south of Prospect Point in the forest?) You could sit on a bench for hours and watch the freighters coming under Lions Gate Bridge. Free. Or wander a trail and come face to face with a lovely quiet doe, or even watch a little skunk herd her brood while ignoring you. Throughout my childhood I spent many hours exploring the seashore and forest. I met Jimmy Cunningham, the builder of the Seawall when he was working on it by Third Beach. And Birder John Rodgers who told me about a third eagle aerie along the west side. I suppose the once largest tennis tournament in the world, the Stanley Park Open is finished too.
I parked at Brockton for years and ran the 10 K Seawall, then had a shower like thousands of other runners and went back to work. No cost.

But as Vancouver redesigns itself as a Resort Town, open mainly to tourists and wealthy visitors, the good things about Vancouver just disappear into the treasure chests of corporations. Lord Stanley's dedication says 'For the use and enjoyment of people of all colours creeds and customs for all time.' Perhaps they should recut a line in that marble - 'Bring money'.  

Sadly Vancouver people are being excluded from Vancouver very quickly, The powers that be want you to go in on the train or bus, service the rich foreigners who live there, and then get out back to wherever you actually live. The Vancouver Aquarium keeps trying to take more of the park for what they keep saying is helping marine life, then why do they need a convention center in there? Did you realize the entry to the Aquarium for adults is now $38. and a child is $21. So you park, bring wife and 2 kids to see fish and it costs you $135.00! OMFG!

Further decline of the park. Do any teams still play at Brockton fields. I suppose the Vancouver Rowing club still rows, maybe only in the lounge chairs by the bar? And the Vancouver Yacht Club patrons can still afford to visit their barnacled boats once in a while, but they arrive in Limos with drivers told when to come back. No need to park the Bentley with the unwashed masses.
I am talking about folks forced to live in congested neighborhoods or tiny apartments who want to sit on grass and breath a little fresh air at Burrard Inlet or Prospect Point or walk the Seawall for health. Sorry folks, but you are being excluded. Be careful, that Nine O'clock gun may be shooting at you.

I moved out of Vancouver some time ago because of the costs. As an oldster with limited resources, I just cannot go there now, a $1.00 coin only gets you 10 minutes on the metered streets. And I recently tried a private parking lot, the old Bay Parkade, paid for two hours, got back 7 minutes late and they had a ticket on my car for $127.00! (NEVER going to pay that one)

Stanley Park roads used to be filled on a Sunday as many families went there for nature or picnics. Finding a spot was sometimes hard, but the upside was that thousands of people were there, IN the park, of all colours creeds and customs, enjoying it all. For years the Park Board has been no more than a political organization and should be eliminated entirely and the control of parks returned to Vancouver City.

And although some may see this as a bitch, I think of it as a lament for the thousands of Vancouver born or unrich people being driven out of their own town. Taking away the chance of a little recreation or quiet contemplation only makes the evicted a little more angry.

Those parking fees in Stanley Park should be like $1. per hour. Or eliminated entirely. Filling the park with people enjoying it should be the goal, not the anathema. Seeking solitude shouldn't have you seething with irritation over parking fees. And we can only wonder how long we'll be able to drive through it without having to pay a road toll.


Welcome to Resort Vancouver, the Gucci store is over there.

Top 20 oil spills from pipelines since 2010

 In July 2010, a pipeline carrying tar sands oil burst in Marshall, Mich., inundating 40 miles of the Kalamazoo River with heavy crude. Enbridge and the EPA both confirm that it has taken far longer to clean up the oil than expected. (partly because diluted bitumen is heavier than water and sinks) Early on, the EPA gave the company a couple of months. Two years and $800 million later, the cleanup is still going on. The cost eclipses every other onshore oil cleanup in U.S. history!

might have once been a favorite picnic site ...

The Canadian pipeline company involved in the Michigan spill (Enbridge) is not the same company building to Vancouver's inner harbor terminal, TransCanada. Representatives say their company is trying to learn as much as it can from the Kalamazoo spill, but they also stress that their Keystone pipelines should not be compared with the 40-year-old one that busted. And have asserted many times that Alberta to Vancouver is completely safe.
"The new pipelines we want to build are going to be the newest and safest pipelines ever built in the U.S.," says Grady Semmens, a spokesman for TransCanada. (refering to their Keystone line)  "They'll be a lot newer than that line that Enbridge operates. And we're quite confident that any incident even approaching that scale will be very quickly identified and responded to by TransCanada."

The problem is, can we trust anything the pipeline companies say? Just think of the revenue they would receive for 20, 30 or 40 years of pumping dilbit. And one thought - where does their responsibility end? At the terminal in Vancouver? What about the tankers coming and going? What insurances do they have?
 
from a Nov 17, 2017 article ...in USA Today - Associated Press -

The spill of an estimated 210,000 gallons of crude oil in South Dakota from TransCanada’s Keystone Pipeline is one of the 20 largest onshore oil or petroleum product spills since 2010.

 Here are the top 20 spills during that period as reported to the U.S. Department of Transportation. The list ranks them by size and includes the date, gallons spilled, commodity, company name, city or county and state of spill and estimated costs including property and environmental damages.

Of course the facts have no relationship with the job losses, property losses, heartbreak and health risks associated with virtually all of these spills.  

... might have once been a dream place to live.

   ... here is an example of sneaky interfering - this URL should lead to a US Department of Transportation page heading Significant Pipeline Incidents - however it deletes itself from your scrutiny in seconds ; hundreds of spills happen each year in the U.S.   Who did this? It shows that pipeline spills are inevitable.

 TransCanada has said in writing that questions about crude oil spills were hypothetical because their pipeline would be designed not to spill. But in a document for the State Department, TransCanada predicted two spills every 10 years over the entire length of its Keystone XL pipeline, from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. 

 Some scientists argue that the company underestimates that risk. Another pipeline it put into service two years ago has had 14 spills in the United States, although most were small, according to TransCanada.

Stay tuned, don't accept every comment from either side, and keep asking questions, the MSM is NOT doing it's job on this one for whatever reasons.

I Love You

Here are some hand signs ...

 

Mickey loves you

But these innocent hand signs are not always about love, or deafness or simple communication.

Sometimes they have sinister meanings. Of evil and devil worship, or an association with secret organizations; The Illuminati, Skull and Bones, Bilderberg, The Council on Foreign Relations, New World Order, The Trilateral Commission, Bohemian Grove. Searching out these organizations only leads to hundreds of others, all with nefarious purpose. Yet you may see these hand signs coming from various people in the spotlight of society. Not always discreetly.

                                                     Devils Horns                             666

Mostly they are just rappers and gangsters or starlets looking for a line or pic in the trade papers, but once you start looking deeper, you find the powers that be could be sending signals that have evil connotations, take a look ...

... and ask what these people are really flashing? That they love you? Hardly.

And once you discover these signals, you begin to see them everywhere with many famous or powerful people, the Clintons, the Bushes, heads of state, Presidents and Princes and masters of industry, tycoons, government officials, movers and shakers who work secretly behind the scenes, all sending those esoteric vibes for whatever purposes. And there are thousands of not so famous as well, frequenting the shadows cast by those you may know.
  
These photos are tiny samples and a little searching will show the secret signals are often flashed at whomever watches carefully. Many times in many places. What is in that signal? What is the real message? Many watchers associate it with devil worship or satanism.
Most of these can be researched easily. Check out the endless pictures of certain people and how often the signs are sent.

Anton LaVey founded the Church of Satan but Satanic cults go way back to the seventeenth century. 
Who secretly belongs to these underworld societies? Rumors have been swirling for years, prominent people involved in secret rituals, of child slavery and pedophilia, (check out Pizzagate) of deals made to retain the control of the so called Deep State over the populations of most of the countries on the planet. 

The signs are there, seen by some, afraid to be seen by others, and they are scary.

Here's another pic ...

WHY would Chelsea Clinton wear an inverted cross? An absolute sign of the devil. Why would anyone buy such a thing unless they were involved in a satanist cult themselves? She wears this one a lot. What does she know? Yes, I know about St. Peter, but Chelsea sent a New Year greeting to the Church of Satan! There is pictorial evidence that Hillary has worn a similar inverted cross.

Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain. and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
And saith unto him, All these things I will give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. - Mathew 4

Beware of ambition to run the world.

Are these four flashing the sign of the Illuminati?

 

It's easy to ignore these frightful thoughts of secret signals and mysterious messages or laugh at those who submit them, and discredit the ideas as ludicrous, from conspiracy theorists, but the folks who belong to and endorse underground societies and partake in their esoteric rituals count on just that. They are hiding in plain sight.

Be vigilant. 
 

Meanwhile, here are a couple of guys I trust who are sending you a sincere message - 

Peace,

and I love you. 

Hillary's Secret

What was someone up to in that first Trump - Clinton debate?

Watch this - - - 

(Video removed by Clinton Campaign) 

 

(Similar video which shows cheating too)

 
But here the University people are missing the point, that man can take away any notes Hillary might have made, UNLESS, they were notes from Donna Brazile with the questions, which was later admitted by Mz Brazile that she supplied questions ahead of time to Clinton, and not that the podium is lit, (Trump's screen never lit)  but should hers have been? And were there prompts supplied from somewhere else to Secretary Clinton and she may be receiving secret messages via that screen? Is there an electronic device in the podium that must be removed quickly after the debate to avoid discovery? (grey-haired man in glasses?)

But what is intriguing to me is that RED light in the darkness that flashes as she reaches the podium at the start, (at 0:43) exactly when her podium screen lights and then flicks again at the end of the debate (3:00) when the teleprompter screen goes off. Is it a wireless impulse turning ON a connection just like your TV remote? Is someone out there in the dark transmitting electronic signals?

Is the prompter screen telling Hillary information during the debate? Could it be help from several people tucked away in a separate room somewhere with answers and advice? Even with Donna Brazil's cheating did they have even more help for Hillary?
Was part of her cadre tucked away in a room off site? Perhaps in an electronic van from her motorcade? Incredible? Maybe. But did you know that US drone missions in Afghanistan are flown by pilots in a room in Minnesota? Reality.

So it is proven by multi-videos that Hillary's podium had an active screen when Trump's didn't. So in a debate, it is supposed to be one on one, questions and answers and zingers. But you are supposed to be on your own out there, thinking on your feet, showing voters how quick you are in the mental department. Having a secret room full of stealthy participants using spy technology to give you a head start is not allowed.

Hillary Clinton's podium appears to have been outfitted with a special light that Donald Trump's didn't have. The light could have been functioning as a teleprompter to feed Hillary answers. There were multiple people paying attention to her podium after the debate and they were clearly tampering with something. Especially a man with grey hair and glasses dubbed the cleaner man who approached her podium and was either picking up items or putting something in or possibly doing a swap from a tampered device to the original legit device? The Hillary device being one that could accept info over a wireless channel?

There are many videos which show that little grey-haired man in glasses doing something at her podium. Tampering? Removing evidence of cheating? He takes away some papers, but what item does he pocket discreetly? No one seems to know who he was. Did he give something to Lester Holt?

Look for yourself, who is this furtive suspicious little guy?


And this election is for the President of the United States. Anything goes. Even cheating.


But those earrings.
Can earrings be made into wireless transmitters or more important, wireless receivers? Of course they can, that technology is not even new, and miniaturization has made it possible to hide it anywhere! Cameras are buttons on your coat now, and receivers are simple ear pieces fitted to the inner ear, or easily built into a nice pair of gold earrings!

Like these.
Here is the technology -

All are receivers, spyware. Bond has nothing on Hillary.  She has her very own 'Q'.
The three debates. Same earrings?

But anything goes? Was it all 'rigged' as The Donald protested so often? Donna Brazil even said so later, after she got caught.
Hillary cheating? And who else is cheating. The MSM is constantly under attack of late because the public are beginning to believe they cheat too. Fake News has entered our lexicon with a flash. Who knows where it is headed? Stay awake folks.

We haven't even got to the square bulky thingy under her jacket, which her cast of characters said was an anti coughing device! lol. And the picture was part of the after debate handshakes which clearly shows even the wires running up her jacket inside. But odd yet again that NBC shortened the video from 2 plus hours to 1:39. Nicely cutting out the footage that contains this incriminating shot.

So you cannot see this part anymore. So thanks to all the watchers who are smart enough to record things like this the first time. It shows a serious threat to truth by people with a treacherous agenda.

The deception never ends, does it?

Stay awake folks.

JFK Revelations?

The first release of (some) details of the Kennedy assassination that have been held back for 55 years is out. These items were deemed so explosive that they here held secreted in the National Archives for a further 25 years after their first scheduled release.

There are about 3,100 unseen files, a deadline that was set by Congress in 1992 under the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act. The documents have been held in the National Archives, and the majority are already public.

American royalty

Here are what some commentators call  'interesting things'. As we know now, the CIA has over-ruled President Trump and held back further information for 180 days.


- Former CIA director Richard Helms: LBJ thought Kennedy assassination was payback for assassination of Vietnam president. From a 1975 deposition at Langley, CIA HQ,  "President Johnson used to go around saying that the reason President Kennedy was assassinated was that he had assassinated President Diem."
     Over many years investigators have concluded that not only did LBJ hate all Kennedys, but that he was aware of the event before it happened. Was this his attempt to deflect suspicions from American plots?

-  The CIA considered using mafia to kill Castro. Robert Kennedy told the FBI in 1975 that an "intermediary had been hired by CIA" to consult mobster Sam Giancana about hiring a gunman for $150,000 to kill Castro in Cuba.
The account is detailed in an FBI memorandum from 1975. The memo is part of an 83-page report that also said the CIA considered delivering a poison pill to kill Castro. Attorney General Robert Kennedy vetoed the idea of using a Mafia gangster.
     Again in 1975 this supposedly happened. And we all know by now that J. Edgar Hoover hated the Kennedy's with a vengeance. Other attempts to kill Castro were poison pills etc. RFK had stated long before that he was going to break the Mafia in America into splinters.

-  A memo from Hoover quotes a source within the USSR saying Soviets were shocked by the news of Kennedy's death, with church bells tolled in his memory. The source said the news sparked "great shock and consternation and church bells were tolled in the memory of President Kennedy."
"According to our source, officials of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union believed there was some well-organized conspiracy on the part of the 'ultra-right' in the United States to effect a 'coup,'" the memo said.
     Some people believe the coup might have been started then, and continued over the years until the placement and surreptitious effects were instigated, perhaps when George HW Bush became Director of the CIA? And that the coup of America needn't be armed men on every corner, but only the total manipulation and control of American lives. 

There are many other items, including someone who called the FBI with info that he was part of a group going to kill the President. And another anonymous caller to a British Newspaper the day of.



But one has to wonder why any of these so called revelations were considered secrets? There is nothing (so far) in the least explosive, and most of this info seems to come from FBI 'memos'.
Yes, the conspiracy theorists are already saying the CIA has had fifty years to manufacture any documents they wish. Which leads to the suggestion that at one time, way back in recent history, there WAS something incriminating in those National Archive documents.
Administration officials said there was no cover-up, just an effort to avoid compromising national security, law enforcement or intelligence gathering methods. Whatever methods might be suspect today, are long past blame on present day agencies. If this was just an attempt to convince America that all is well, it is too late, many have already turned to WikiLeaks for truth.

And most of the spin on this event, seems to point to a plot being Castro and Cuba. Perhaps so the America public will no longer think of CIA dark state cells, or FBI obfuscation, the Federal Reserve controlling all the money, or the MSM potentates squeezing your news down to what they want you to see and hear, or the Middle East oil cartels sponsoring election spending, or the so called Drug War designed to fail - or agents put in place, oblivious to their own supervisors, to implement the continuing coup of America.
No one needs a poll to conclude that Castro did not kill the President of America, something else has been going on, perhaps that is the reason the Establishment is so wired up with angst about Donald Trump?

These 'revelations' are for all those people who long ago, read the Warren Report Summery, without reading the basis of it and the facts that it was supposedly drawn from. Those who looked further, (Mark Lane - Rush to Judgement) quickly learned that the summery had no relation whatsoever to events on November 22 in Dallas.

The release of harmless information as revelations will only throw gasoline on the fires of conspiracy.
Business as usual. Keep your tin hat on, it's not over yet ....

New:
Don't expect this next film to stay on any website anywhere for much longer - but if you are interested in JFK and how his death relates to the so called Deep State now emerging into public awareness in 2017, and how you are being manipulated you need to understand why. - you should watch this before it is gone. It is hypnotic and revolutionary and will definitely change how you view your present world.

USA - A Warring Nation

 From the jungles of Vietnam to the deserts of Afghanistan - - -

The United States has been at war continuously since the attacks of 9/11 and now has just over 240,000 active-duty and reserve troops in at least 172 countries and territories. While the number of men and women deployed overseas has shrunk considerably over the past 60 years, the military’s reach has not. American forces are actively engaged not only in the conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Yemen that have dominated the news, but also in Niger and Somalia, both recently the scene of deadly attacks, as well as Jordan, Thailand and elsewhere.

An additional 37,813 troops serve on presumably secret assignment in places listed simply as “unknown.” The Pentagon provided no further explanation.

There are traditional deployments in Japan (39,980 troops) and South Korea (23,591) to defend against North Korea and China, if needed, along with 36,034 troops in Germany, 8,286 in Britain and 1,364 in Turkey — all NATO allies. There are 6,524 troops in Bahrain and 3,055 in Qatar, where the United States has naval bases.

Active and reserve service members stationed overseas ;
Japan - 39,980, more troop reside here than in any other foreign country.
Afghanistan - 11,965 The US is engaged in training and counter terrorism operations.
Ieaq - 7,602 The US combat missions here ended in 2010, so remaining troops are officially advising and training Iraqi forces.

Note: as of June 30, 2017. Source: Defense Manpower Data Center (NY Times)


      The U.S. Has Troops in Nearly Every Country  - - -

America’s operations in conflict zones like Africa are expanding: 400 American Special Forces personnel in Somalia train local troops fighting the Shabab Islamist group, providing intelligence and sometimes going into battle with them. 

One member of the Navy SEALs was killed there in  a mission in May.  On Oct. 14, a massive attack widely attributed to the Shabab on a Mogadishu street killed more than 270 people, which would show the group’s increased reach. 

About 800 troops are based in Niger, where four Green Berets died on Oct. 4.

Many of these forces are engaged in counterterrorism operations against the Taliban in Afghanistan, for instance; against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria; against an affiliate of Al Qaeda in Yemen. 

Total military personnel worldwide - 1,302,941.  The figures reported here include personnel serving in the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps. and Air Force. However they do not include military contractors or private army personnel.

So far, Americans seem to accept that these missions and the deployments they require will continue indefinitely. Still, it’s a very real question whether, in addition to endorsing these commitments, which have cost trillions of dollars and many lives over 16 years, they will embrace new entanglements of the sort President Trump has seemed to portend with his rash threats and questionable decisions on North Korea and Iran.

For that reason alone, it’s time to take stock of how broadly American forces are already committed to far-flung regions and to begin thinking hard about how much of that investment is necessary, how long it should continue and whether there is a strategy beyond just killing terrorists. 

During earlier wars, including Vietnam, the draft put most families at risk of having a loved one go to war, but now America has all-volunteer armed forces. Less than 1 percent of the population now serves in the military, compared with more than 12 percent in World War II. Most people simply do not have a family member in harm’s way.

Since 9/11, American leaders have defined the fight against terrorism as a permanent struggle against a permanent threat. But the rise of ISIS in Iraq and Syria and a resurgent Taliban in Afghanistan led to renewed engagement, though at lower troop levels. Terror attacks here and in Europe, have reinforced the public’s sense of siege.

The military is essential to national security, but it is not the only thing keeping America safe. So do robust diplomacy and America’s engagement in multilateral institutions. The Pentagon, by contrast, thrives. After some belt-tightening during the financial crisis, it has a receptive audience in Congress and the White House as it pushes for more money to improve readiness and modernize weapons. Senators who balk at paying for health care and the basic diplomatic missions of the State Department approved a $700 billion defense budget for 2017-18.

Whether this largess will continue is unclear. But the larger question involves the American public and how many new military adventures, if any, it is prepared to tolerate.

 A version of this editorial appears in print on October 23, 2017, on Page A20 of the New York edition with the headline: America’s Forever Wars.

And people are beginning to question - Where is the Threat?

The 2000 Global Report published in 1980 had outlined “the State of the World” by focusing on so-called  “level of threats” which might negatively influence or undermine US interests.
Twenty years later, US strategists, in an attempt to justify their military interventions in different parts of the World, have conceptualized the greatest fraud in US history, namely “the Global War on Terrorism” (GWOT). The latter, using a fabricated pretext  constitutes a global war against all those who oppose US hegemony. A modern form of slavery, instrumented through militarization and the “free market” has unfolded.

Major elements of the conquest and world domination strategy by the US refer to:
1) the control of the world economy and its financial markets,
2) the taking over of all natural resources (primary resources and nonrenewable sources of energy). The latter constitute the cornerstone of US power through the activities of its multinational corporations.

Secret drone bases are proliferating on foreign soil, flying devices like armed MQ-9 Reapers and a myriad of others. The progress of the covert agenda seems to be going as planned.
