Bill O'Reilly's newest book.

 Bill O'Reilly has just published his latest book,  Killing Patton, in which he outlines his reasons for considering a car crash as a murder. Making basically the same points as I did in 2010. Read on ....

Conspiracy theory ... 1 - General George S. Patton

Unlike many war heroes who had no intention of ever becoming famous, George S. Patton decided during childhood that his goal in life was to be a hero. This noble aim was first inspired by listening to his father read aloud for hours about the exploits of the heroes of ancient Greece.

We are aware of General Patton’s accomplishments during World War II. But there are niggling factors after the war in 1945 which are also interesting;
Patton was not about to slow down or shut up after his military successes in Europe. No one knew quite what to do with him. He was a true hawk. One congressman even proposed that he be made Secretary of War, but Patton's lack of diplomacy guaranteed the suggestion was never taken seriously.

In Germany, while on occupation duty after a visit to the States during which he was welcomed with parades as a conquering hero, Patton's outspokenness got him into trouble yet again when he tried justifying the use of ex-Nazis in important administrative positions during the occupation of Bavaria. (In Sun Tzu's ancient treatise, The Art of War, he proposes, 'The captured soldiers should be kindly treated and kept. This is called, using the conquered foe to augment one's own strength. Of course General Patton read it.)

Patton had also been willing to make known his view that the United States and Britain should re-arm the Germans and fight the Russians. He had great respect for German soldiers. Patton knew, along with many others, who the real enemy was going to be. And he was credited with saying, “We ought to keep going.”
Other comments that set alertness and esoteric interest among his enemies were that he had expressed his views to reporters that U.S. plans for post-war Germany were "foolish and stupid" and would lead to Soviet attempts to take over Western Europe. "I was intentionally direct because I believed that it was time for the people to know what was going on," he recalled before his death. Those enemies might not have all been Russians.

These comments and beliefs however, showed that Patton's temperament was somewhat of a liability in peacetime. In many ways, it would have been fitting for Patton the warrior to have died on the battlefield, but that was not to be. Despite the fact that throughout his military career he had constantly exposed himself to danger, it was a traffic accident, not a bullet, which took Patton's life. In December 1945, one day before he was due to return to the United States, Patton was severely injured in a road accident when his car was hit by a truck near Mannheim, Germany. Paralyzed from the neck down, George Patton died of an embolism on 21st December 1945.
Emboli are caused by clots from the venous circulation, from the right side of the heart, from tumors that have invaded the circulatory system, or from other sources such as amniotic fluid, air, fat, bone marrow, and foreign substances. Sudden death can occur as a result of embolism. Injecting AIR into a vein or artery is easily done.
He was buried in Luxembourg, a country which still considers George S. Patton its liberator.

Did the emerging USSR deem Patton to be far too dangerous to live? What if he returned to the US and countered his detractors by seeking political power? Was it possible that he, now a national hero, could become president of the United States? Patton was a student of war history and it’s generals, including Hannibal, the Carthaginian had been defeated by the Romans at the Battle of Zama in 202 BC after ransacking Italy for 14 years. Hannibal became a diplomatic force and a skilled trader in peacetime and guided Carthage to pay off the war reparations too quickly, and the Romans considered him such an ominous threat as to hunt him down and kill him. Could Patton have followed that idea? We’ll never know.

Surely a President Patton would have meant war against the USSR. When would agents of the Russians have better means and opportunity to murder him than in Europe? He would be unreachable back in the States. But was someone ELSE afraid of Patton? His murder would be unexplainable back in the States and not readily accountable to foreign agents. Was the USA also afraid of George S. Patton?
But then it was a simple car accident, wasn't it?

Addenda - April 2009
Robert Wilcox has written a book Target Patten, that feeds this particular theory; that Patton's sudden death was a planned assassination. One would suspect that the book is a result of constant conspiracy theories about Patton, and collusion between the Soviet union, the Communist Left in America and the US Government at the highest levels.

Killing Patton - Bill O'Reilly 
 

50th Anniversary of the Warren Commission

After fifty long years, the huge 26 volume Warren Commission Report is still unbelievable to 85% of the American people. And we are no closer to understanding the What, Why, and Who of the events. Except to suggest it was a coup d'etat of democracy. But it is not going away. Tidbits of information about the perps, if indeed they are the perps, continue to emerge. Even the side issue here about Officer Tippit remains of high interest.

49 years and counting .... November 24

It seems that even after this long long time it would be apropos to repost a couple of things about that infamous day in history. There are still a few reads you can research yourself. But even if you do, they still lead to nothing but even more questions about what actually happened that day in Dallas ..... 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
from November 24, 2010

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.

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

and from September 27, 2011

This day in history - - - September 27

(1963 – 64) The Warren Commission. A group appointed by Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson to investigate the circumstances surrounding President John F. Kennedy's slaying and the shooting of his (alleged) assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald. It was chaired by Earl Warren and included two U.S. senators, two U.S. congressmen, and two former public officials.
After months of investigation, it reported that Kennedy was killed by Oswald's rifle shots from the Texas School Book Depository and that Oswald's murder by Jack Ruby two days later was not part of a conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy.
Its findings were later questioned in a number of books and articles and in a special congressional committee report in 1979, though no conclusive contradictory evidence was found.

JD Tippit

One of those first books, Rush to Judgment, by lawyer Mark Lane, pointed out that the conclusions in the Summery, those few pages that most people and reporters read, had little to do with the volumes of actual evidence in the content.
Today a believer of this, 'Oswald alone', conclusion is rare. And because that summery seemed falsified, it berthed a lifetime of conspiracy theories about the President's death.
Even following the interesting side story of the trail of Officer Tippit on that day and you might join the legions of disbelievers.

The members of that Warren Commission were -

- Earl Warren - Chief Justice of the United States. Eisenhower offered Warren the post of solicitor general, with the promise of a seat on the Supreme Court. But before it was announced, Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson unexpectedly died in September 1953 and Eisenhower replaced him with Warren. As Chief Justice of the United States some said many of his decisions were 'inappropriate'.

- Hale Boggs - Died mysteriously in a plane crash while flying over remote Alaska in October, 1972 . Wreckage never found. In April 1971 he had made a speech on the floor of the House in which he strongly attacked J. Edgar Hoover and the whole of the FBI.

- Gerald Ford - Future President. Ford commented in his own report that the CIA destroyed or kept from investigators critical secrets connected to the assassination.

- John Sherman Cooper - In the general election in 1954 Cooper was defeated by Alben W. Barkley a Democrat who had been Vice President under Harry S. Truman but Barkley subsequently died, and Cooper was elected to fill his unexpired term in 1956.

- John J. McCloy - He was initially skeptical of the lone gunman theory, but a trip to Dallas with Allen Dulles, an old friend also serving on the Commission, in the spring of 1964 to visit the scene of the assassination convinced him of the case against Lee Harvey Oswald.

- Allen Welsh Dulles - Director of the CIA. It evolved under his directorship into a team of assassins. One member, Frank Sturgis, claimed: "this assassination group (Operation 40) would upon orders, naturally, assassinate either members of the military or the political parties of the foreign country that you were going to infiltrate, and if necessary some of your own members." (Sturgis was also one of the Watergate burglars) Dulles and his staff were forced to resign in September 1961 when President Kennedy reportedly said he wanted to "splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds."

The Warren report's lack of candor furthered antigovernment cynicism, which in turn stimulated conspiracy theorists who propounded any number of alternative scenarios, all mutually contradictory, and all going strong today.

Who can you trust?
.

In a new revelation by Jackie Kennedy she recently revealed her suspicions of LBJ. And we all know she married Ari Onassis simply because he was the one man in the world who could actually protect her from an 'unexpected' and mysterious death. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 .... back to today ....

And an even more recent revelation suggests that Jackie Kennedy/Onassis recorded several tapes before she died. And they are somewhere. Waiting to be revealed. It is further proposed by some researchers, that Oswald was a paid asset of the FBI.
Arlen Specter, (later a Senator) was assistant counsel to the Warren Commission (recommended by Gerald Ford) and came up with the single bullet theory, which was readily adopted because having Connally and Kennedy shot by two separate bullets in such a short time frame would indicate TWO assassins and a conspiracy! Convenient, huh? Why did Specter miss so many obvious followup questions to the witnesses?  
More questions. In recent years, there have been suggestions that some secret sponsored shadow cell has plans for a coup d'etat of the American Government, even that 9/11 may have been the precursor.

And there are also those who also believe the coup was already accomplished on November 22, 1963!

But just investigating the one aspect of Officer Tippit is an interesting exercise and takes you well away from the 49 years of spin and cover up about JFK. Go ahead, try it. At the very least you'll have a fascinating read, way better than TV fiction. And you'll involve yourself in history.

start here - - -
                                 Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippet 
                                 Officer Tippit timeline
                                 JD Tippit homepage
                                 Officer Tippit's autopsy

Follow the fascinating timeline and perhaps you will come up with more questions too: like why did the Davis sisters believe he lived in the nearby apartment house? Who DID live there to cause Tippit to be there often? Why was he speeding around frantically in the minutes after JFK was shot? Was he supposed to intercept Oswald? Why was he on West 10th Street when he was thought to be miles away at the Dealey Plaza by the overpass? How many contradictions may already be within the transcripts of accounts, interviews and events? Is there one somewhere, just waiting for a new eye to find it? Is there one sentence somewhere that says, 'This cannot be, therefore that must be?' 

They can't hide ALL the trails leading to truth. We finally learned the identity of deepthroat, anything can still happen.

And one thing about a coup d'etat, they don't all reveal themselves in a momentary flash through smoke and fire and violence ... they can emerge in stealth over many years. 



(Thanks to William M. Drenas  [Tippit Timeline],  for communicating with me and others for never exhausting their efforts in the search for truth)

Will there ever be discovered a grain of proof? Who knows, but some are still looking.

SNAFU

Situation Normal, All Fucked Up.
 - a confused or chaotic state; a mess. -

This is the way I perceived it .....

You see. The US was okay with Iraq reclaiming Kuwait. The Iraq Kuwait borders went way back to what the British wanted and defined in 1922.
Saddam Hussein even told the US Ambassador what he wanted to do, as he considered Kuwait to still be a province of Iraq, and now he thought His Highness Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah was stealing his oil by side drilling from Kuwait into Iraq's vast Rumaila oil field. The US response was that America had no interest or comment on Iraq's internal affairs.
So Saddam went ahead and attacked Kuwait with his Republican Guard. The The Emir asked the US for help and America ignored their own Ambassador's response to Saddam and this resulted in the first Gulf War where US forces drove out the Iraqi Army and returned control of Kuwait to the Emir. The fact that the US unleashed all that stealth technology on Baghdad when Kuwait was 658 km away had little relevance to the military testing their new toys.
One supposes oil agreements with the Kuwaiti Emir were behind the military action. He also promised democracy at the time.

But George HW Bush, was not re-elected in America. And Saddam Hussein survived the first Gulf War defeat and continued to run his country. A few short years later the young George W. Bush was elected president, and saw Iraq and Saddam Hussein as a score to settle for his Dad. Who he thought was mocked by  Hussein. With Dick Cheney as the evil Basil Rathbone character whispering over his shoulder, George W. Bush fell into the surreptitious plan of opportunity.
 
Two reasons: Iraq had the world's fifth largest proven oil reserves. Saddam had survived the first H.W. Bush war and remained in control of his country while HW Bush was a one term chagrined president! George Jr. saw a need to avenge his Daddy.
And Cheney wanted to provide Haliburton a chance to make billions in reconstruction and oil management. (Haliburton got a billion dollar no-bid contract)

What is real and what is fake?

And so after what many people now believe was an inside job, the 9/11 attacks and the destruction of the Twin Towers in New York city, Bush and Cheney had their overt reasons to start their phoney war to get rid of Saddam. Including suddenly feeling sorry for the Kurds, and worrying about weapons of mass destruction that Colin Powell, betrayed by his own demeanor, professed to be aimed at America.
Even though the chief suspects of 9/11 were Saudis, or financed by their government, hidden in a 28 page document classified by Dubya. And there is plenty of evidence to show how close the Bush family is to the Royal family in Saudi Arabia.
But the covert reason for war was all that wonderful oil beneath the desert sands.

The second Gulf War devastated the infrastructure of Iraq, turned Baghdad into a US armed camp, and would funnel away Iraq's national oil riches into private companies.

Iraq oil - source - Al Jazeera

And as we know now, the war was premeditated and implemented from the start for the purposes of the US Government, with Britain tagging along so as not to be left out of the rich spoils. And we all know what happened to the dreaded WMDs. Nothing.

Saddam Hussein was a Sunni Muslim who controlled his country, albeit mercilessly,  and was in fact a buffer between Shi'a Iran and Syria. (Iraq was about 10% Kurds, 25% Sunni and 65% Shi'a previous to American occupation.) Saddam kept his borders strong and secure between his two enemies.
But with Iraq basically destroyed by the American invasion, occupation and realignment of the country, including it's oil reserves, there were no strong controls over the population or no viable plan for the country's future direction. The democratization of Iraq was doomed to failure. Not the least contributed to by the use of Blackwater mercenaries and private contractors who were there to protect Americans but would shoot to kill at anything, And did. Innocent civilians not exempted.
Violence, bombings and killings continued to be the normal life in Iraq, even in the strengthened American 'Green Zone' sections of Baghdad.

With America finally pulling out their ground combat forces, the void began to fill with other dissenters,  al Qaeda, who Saddam hated, the strengthening of the Kurds who want their own autonomous region, and other Sunnis who were now excluded from Iraqi affairs by Shi'a president al-Maliki. All this confusion and distrust soon became ISIS. Or ISIL, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

Meanwhile nothing came of the promise of democracy in Kuwait that al-Sabah said he would implement. He is now nothing more than an American satellite oil resource. Kuwait has 8% of the world's oil reserves and is the third largest producer.  One can assume His Highness Al-Sabah is properly appreciative of the American military efforts on his behalf.

A vicious circle resulting from personal greed that cost the lives of many brave young men of Britain and America's military for no apparent gain except to those corporations close to the US government.
President Obama has not kept his promise to declassify that potentially revealing 28 page document for the American people.

So here we are on the brink of a third Gulf War, changing alliances yet again to combat the growing world threat of ISIL. Meanwhile, the Republican party continues to covertly denigrate their own potential candidates for the 2016 presidential nomination, while carefully keeping Jeb Bush safely tucked away in a quiet back room.Would a third Bush in the White House complete the circle to the New World Order?

One wonders what the situation would be had Saddam Hussein remained in power? Some believe he would have been the USA's greatest ally in the Middle East.
And even a troubled peace is better than the senseless slaughter now going on.

SNAFU has become FUBAR.

 

Desert Storm deja vu?

Police militarization, what does it mean?

Is a para-military coup in the offing?

There are many signs emerging from actions across America that portend something ominous.

It might have started when the Denver Post,on February 15th, 2012, ran an Associated Press article entitled Department of Homeland Security plans to buy 1.6 BILLION rounds of ammo!  DHS issued an open order for the ammunition. Some of that purchase order is for sniper rounds, and hollow point rounds which are illegal in International Law for use in WAR! Hollow points are described as optimum penetration for terminal performance. Terminal. As in terminating whomever they hit!
In the Iraq war, the US Army expended only 6 million rounds per month. 1.6 billion rounds would, according to Forbes Magazine, sustain a war for 20 years. In America. The DHS now has over 100,000 armed officers. Some are wondering why the Department of Homeland Security is building a standing army on US soil?

They are also providing drones for state and local police! Their Predator drones come equipped with infrared sensors, radar, heat sensors and video cameras. And DHS has awarded a contract worth 385 million to Haliburton, (who else) to build 'detention centers' on American soil.

It was also revealed that MRAPs, Mine Resistant, Ambush Protected vehicles (which protect soldiers against roadside bombs in WAR zones) have been proliferating among police forces all over America. In most police jurisdictions,  there has never ever been a mine detected! In some cases these 750 thousand dollar vehicles seem to have appeared as part of a local police force equipment, for as little as $2800. or have found their way to county policing for free! Either direct from the Pentagon orfrom DHS. And even where a local town population may be only in the hundreds the police have secured armored troop carriers, night-vision rifle scopes, camouflage fatigues, Humvees and dozens of M16 automatic rifles. Is there a reason for such armament in what could be correctly described as villages? In a lot of instances, one might assume the local police chief would like to be prepared, for whatever. But some are suspecting a nefarious reason for DHS to want locals to have equipment designed for all out war!

What is all this pointing toward?
Was the appearance of MRAPs in Ferguson, Missouri part of a carefully programmed plan to condition people to seeing these war machines in their midst? They are apparently in every state right now, from Seattle to Miami, Boston to LA. Ready for use against who?
The introduction of equipment designed for war in Fallujah, Iraq, to the streets of U.S. towns and cities raises questions about the militarization of civilian police departments. Will it make police inappropriately aggressive? Have we seen that in Ferguson from police with better armor than the US Army had in Iraq? Do you recall families buying body armor at home and sending it to their sons and daughters during the Gulf War?  Is the line between civilian police and the military now permanently blurred?

Who is the threat? Mexican drug cartels? Insurgents against Democracy? Muslims? Jihadists? Students? Democracy itself? Black people? Gun toting backwoods white people? The banjo boy? Ted Nugent? Michael Hastings?

Perhaps it is perceived that home bred Americans who are just beginning to get acquainted with their situation are the threat?

Is a coup d'etat in the offing?
Being readied right now, waiting for something a little more explosive than Ferguson? Yes, a false flag operation that could incite violence in the streets? Was Ferguson only a preliminary to the main show? Something that can be made to go viral across the country and make the use of all this military power rational? A so-called uprising?  Resulting in more war zones across America to use a shock and awe action?
Causing the suspension of the US Constitution?
Will 'no-knock' warrants become common? Will we see these MRAPs patrolling the streets of our main cities, using psychotic faux policemen who are actually anxious to shoot on Americans?  How many of these 'policemen' would have been screened out of law enforcement in times past because of revealed social issues? Homeland Security learned through the use of Blackwater mercenaries in the past, that a certain mentality in military policing could be exploited. Was exploited in Iraq until they went crazy and started murdering civilians and independent reporters. In fact, hundreds of war correspondents were killed mysteriously in the Middle East.
And the question was presented then if these forces could be relied upon to fire on American citizens in their own homeland. 

And we have recently seen that more journalists, perceive a war against their freedoms to report on happenings,  are now threatened within America, from Reuters to AP to the Washington Post to Al Jazeera to destroy their ability to tell you what is going on from the front lines.

Will we see the instigation against black Americans first? To take advantage of the current jagged racial feelings between black and white by many in law enforcement? Incite them and instigate the spread of violence in order to implement a secret plan?

Many people now believe that whoever the American President is, from whatever party, they have no control over the proliferation of armed agencies within the government. Or what they are doing. And if the top commander in the country is powerless, who will defend the American people?
And who is controlling that secret cadre hiding in plain sight? Some believe it will emerge soon.

Is a para military coup in the offing?

Are YOU the target?

Are you Wired for destruction?

Wired Magazine has just revealed at a Black Hat Security Conference in Las Vegas that hackers can actually control your car while it drives! And two inventors have invented a cheap device that can sense mischief in your electronic systems and shut it off.  A simple device that easily installs under your car's dashboard into an existing plug-in! The OBD-2 port. Part of the Telematics System.
And the two who invented the $150. device also showed that it can be done wirelessly! It’s even possible to hack a car with malware embedded in an MP3 and with code transmitted over a Wi-Fi connection.Most people are not aware that a modern automobile can be controlled from afar. What do you think OnStar does in your Cadillac? Yet another 'We keep you safe' message.

The inventors performed tests and showed they could even disable brakes at low speeds. Nothing to say they couldn't have done the same thing at high speeds. So we assume they could press that gas pedal electronically to cause high speed, completely oblivious to the terrified driver's physical input! Of course when you press your gas pedal in a modern automobile, you are not pulling a wire somewhere between a carburetor and the pedal, you are sending an electrical impulse to a sensor that pushes more fuel and air into your engine. 

Doesn't this take the tin hats off all those who believed that someone took control of journalist Michael Hasting's Mercedes 250 and caused him to crash into a tree so hard the engine was flung hundreds of feet away?
Michael Hastings was a 33 year old, crack investigative reporter for Rolling Stone Magazine, whose June 2010 article, “The Runaway General,” exposed the behind-the-scenes failure of top U.S. General Stanley McChrystal’s counterinsurgency strategy in Afghanistan—and, even more damagingly, revealed McChrystal's mocking attitude toward the Obama administration, which ultimately led to the general’s resignation. Shortly thereafter, Hastings was plagued with threatening phone calls. Speculation that Hastings could have been murdered center around comments made by
former counter-terror czar Richard Clarke, who pointed out the ease with which modern vehicles could be hijacked via computer hacking. A Forbes video demonstrated how it is now possible to commandeer a car using an iPad.

It is a pity that no one revealed this long ago; that someone could take complete control of your vehicle for murderous reasons. One Congressman, Ed Markey sent letters to 20 car manufacturers demanding to know why this is possible in a new vehicle. No response.
Is the NSA having back-door software built into cars now too?

A hacked car has more serious consequences than eavesdropped emails or stolen credit cards. The manufacturers have changed our driving in an honest attempt to make things better for all. However the doors are also open a crack to malicious control of your vehicle. 

The inventors said they don't plan to market their invention, but for $150. there are more than a few consumers who would spring for the device and would like to monitor their own vehicles and have control themselves.

Behave yourself and don't be a journalist exposing the truth.
Ride a bike too.



Controlling your car?

Who Killed Michael Hastings?

Car and Driver car hacking

What else can we say?

Have corporations totally taken over the US Government?  One can only say YES!

However did this happen without people taking to the streets?  Is the manipulation and subjugation of the people of North America almost complete? Who do you turn to when your representatives are against you?

To be more specific,

 

One Microsoft account for everything?

No thanks.

You might have noticed when you access your Hotmail account, that they are now asking you to give them more information, 'to keep you secure'. And they want you to have one account for everything. The sign-in to your computer, your email accounts, your smartphone, your GameBoy consol, chat and Skype etc. all with one password! So easy for you. And them. And when you think that the GCHQ in Britain, and the CIA etc. in North America, now have the ability to open your mic and the webcam on your computer without you knowing, your privacy is already gone!

Some people think this is a bigger security scam than the Nigerian Prince ploy!
One log in for ALL Microsoft accounts and devices. Hmm. Is that what YOU want? And now Microsoft is holding your Hotmail account closed until you ransom it by giving them more info about you. They want to text you or call you with a code to let you back into your own Hotmail messages.
Of course there are many people who believe that Microsoft (who they think sold out years ago to the NSA, check the link) is already reading everything you write into your email messages on Hotmail anyway.
But just in case you ever forget your password, they will send a code to the other reference email address you listed when you signed up. And usually that email try doesn't work, ??? so now they need to text you or call you, and give you that code number, which you need if you want to simply see what Aunt Martha sent you about her cute dog!

Now, if you are a trusting individual, and fear bad guys getting your emails, you give Microsoft your cell number, and voila, a few minutes later they call you or text you with the code. Which you use to go back to your email account, sign-in, type the code in and you're back in business. Now you're more secure, at least that's what they tell you.
Or perhaps less secure if you consider who the bad guys really are.

And as most people have 'smart phones' these days, with the wonderful GPS ability to locate itself, and trace its progress to anywhere, you've just given Microsoft (NSA) the cross referencing ability to track YOU wherever you go!
And sometimes they do the same thing all over again the next time you try to access your Hotmail account! Why more than once? Maybe it's a little like TV detectives questioning you again and again, they're looking for little mistakes in your 'story'.  You might have something else that slips out.

They say if you are really you to go ahead and do this. To keep you safe. If you are not you, then ignore the request. What? So if someone really HAS gotten into your Hotmail account, and gets the Microsoft security message too, and has the code sent to their unregistered throwaway phone, how will that keep YOU secure? You will, of course, be unaware they entered the code! Business for the criminal as usual.

Just askin'.

Well, I have abandoned some Hotmail and Google accounts and have migrated the contents of others to other email providers. To be more 'secure', from the bad guys.


Whoever they are.

Didn't you kind of consider Democrats to be the reasonable party in America? Not sure who ruined them or when they crossed over to be against the public but it seems to have happened. Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein seems about as big a hawk as one can get. She backs everything the FBI, CIA or NSA wants to do. So they are doing it. With impunity.
At least the Republicans openly act like they are crazy, so we cannot see any deceit in their actions. They just want to bomb everybody and make no Skull and Bones about it!


Many people thought Barack Obama might change things after the
blatant disrespect and impudence of Bush and Cheney. But they seem to have started the spiral downward that is now unstoppable.  And some even think Obama had a visitor to his Oval Office who told him like it was going to be. And that is how it is. Now we are wondering what the slogan 'Yes we can' really meant? And if there is any real difference between political parties and the direction of America?

Many people think there is a secret government plan to condition the populace to the presence of military units amid the people. So you'll accept the blackshirts on your street without question or protest. Even though you have a frisson of fear in your heart.
And not just military, the local police forces are becoming militarized. Even little backwoods towns have a SWAT team now, with fully armed Humvees and even armored vehicles! Connecticut police now have grenade launchers in their arsenal!

And every local Sheriff now has his very own drone to watch you from the sky! In a few years there will be WAAS  (Wide Area Airborne Surveillance) drones looking out for you. WAAS sensors  provide persistent 24/7 city-size video coverage with direct feed to ground troops within line-of-site and operations centers for immediate exploitation. WAAS will also store high-resolution data for forensics and provide Multi-INT cued high-res spot coverage for moving target tracking and identification. Don't bother running for it.
There are already nearly 30,000 company drones flying. And no one knows how many police and military drones. All looking out for us. Keeping you safe. Protecting you from .....
And those drones are now so small you'll not even know they are up there, clinging to the curtain in your bedroom. Looking out for you. It could be worse though, they're not like mosquitoes who will bite you while you're sleeping, just lil mechanical flyers that will record how you snore, and report if you sleepwalk.

There are now 40 Federal agencies with armed police. Licensed to carry guns and one would assume, use them if needed. The cities of North America are morphing into a police state. Even the Federal Reserve, a non government organization, (which some believe was responsible for JFK to die) has armed officers.
Some other agencies with armed 'enforcement' include the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Coast Guard, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, (preventing whale attacks?) the U.S. Postal Service, and the U.S. Park Service. And what about the National Institute of Health, the Veterans Health Administration and the Department of Agriculture? (protecting Monsanto?)
And don't forget the Department of Homeland Security, which employs nearly half of all federal officers, in the Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. And they have been buying and stockpiling weapons and ammunition for years! DHS plans to buy 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition over the next four or five years, and has already bought 360,000 rounds of hollow point bullets and 1.5 billion rounds in 2012. In America, enough to wage an all out war on the people who may resist being ruled by robotic brutes.You remember these folks from the last movie, who, along with the Blackwater private army held people off at gunpoint from reaching safety during hurricane Katrina.

It is not unrealistic to say about 90% of the new police/military officers with their psycho personalities would never have been allowed to join so few years ago. Now they are sought after for that ruthless disposition.

I don't know about you, but some people have told me they would rather take their chances with the protesters, the Mafia, the Minutemen, the Hells Angels, the NRA, Ted Nugent and the drug dealers than the police. All of the above are dedicated to upholding the US Constitution. Liberty is crucial to what they do.

So the realm of the police boils down to: To serve who and protect who?  Does that mean WE serve the new masters and protect THEIR interests? Frightening.

We may be past the tipping point.

Go back to sleep, it may be all over when you wake up.

The CLOUD

Corporations, store your info in 'the CLOUD'.    it'll be safe there ......

.......... sure it will.


 'The Little White Cloud That Cried.'   - - - Johnny Ray

addenda - recently at a Black Hat conference in Las Vegas, two entrepreneurs revealed that they had infiltrated 150 so called Cloud accounts. They were able to place up to 200 emails on each as new sign-ups, and use these accounts to do whatever they wanted. As it was a demonstration about security, they never made any DOS attacks, or hacked into anyone's privacy, but showed it could be done, and this included Cloud accounts like Amazon and Google.  
Do YOU still trust the Cloud?

Wake up North America!

Countries that have GMO labeling and countries that have NO GE food label warning (in black and white)

Are Monsanto people still in charge of the US FDA?

The thing would be: How fast would you STOP buying Genetically Engineered foods if they were labeled? People have the power to put Monsanto and other pesticide companies out of business if they had a fair chance at honesty from their governments. Makes you wonder about lobbying and which of the people in power to control our health and food products are 'on the take'? 

What other reason could your representatives have for allowing harmful chemicals onto your table?

Qik is gone

Well of course a lot of people don't even know Qik ever existed. But here's what it could do .... you installed it as an App on your smartphone, and it could be started immediately to use your smart camera to record and upload streaming video and send it right away to a remote source. Providing of course, that you could make a 3G or 4G or wireless connection to that source.
Very nice.
What applications could that be used for?  Well if you were out fishing and caught that big one just as your boat started to sink! You'd had proof, if you ever made it to shore, of that huge fish!
Or that guy ran into your parked car and you saw it and he just backed up and drove away! Aha, evidence for your insurance company! Or even you frolicking with your dog who ate your camera!
Hmm, ok, good App. What else?

Same thing?

Well ..... er .... it seemed like some so called activist people used Qik to record confrontations with the police. Like protesters being pummeled with Billy clubs. Or the police doing an illegal roadblock. Or just those kind of beatings you see by frustrated fatty Officer Psycho that maybe you've already seen on You Tube.
Many of those might have been recorded by Qik. By positioning it on your main page of your phone, it was instantly available for use. With a quick click.
Dangerous App. And you know the police are not fond of being recorded at work!
In many cases the police have been recorded during activities that were later found illegal and when they charged the Qik operator, the courts threw out their argument that openly recording the police at work was illegal. Sorry but First Amendment rights took priority in almost every case. (Concealing your filming was a different matter and should be warned against.)

So my point is that this fits into my own theory from years ago, when the US government had that secretive meeting with Bill Gates, and threatened to break up Microsoft into three separate companies, run by whomever instead of Gates. His baby! That is when I suggest that Microsoft came under the careful and secret guidance of the NSA! And in the recent years we all know what is going on with the NSA and Microsoft software. Backdoors into software etc.

So Microsoft bought Skype. Your recording and communications with relatives or others across thousands of miles instantly were available to the corporation. Kind of something that NSA would want to control. Even if Microsoft didn't. Microsoft could capably set-up their own Skype kind of software, but that wouldn't get them all those Skype USERS already signed up. To tune into and watch what they were doing.

So along comes Qik, doing what no law enforcement agencies wanted them to do, and someone from that shadowy realm, takes action. Microsoft does what it is told. Just buy the competition and shut it down! It happens in business all the time. Microsoft bought Qik for 100 MILLION dollars, and garnered over 5 million current users!
And now has simply shut it down. One less thorn in the side of certain agencies that find real laws and the US constitution nothing but an irritant. In the case of Qik, it was the streaming video that was the problem, by recording as it happens, all that action went right to a remote source and even if the police took away your phone, or deleted the file as they are so wont to do, the evidence of what they did was already gone. Into the ether or the sweaty night to emerge again on social media!  Incriminatingly. Go-Pros are great, but they can be smashed and their evidence lost forever.

So by just spending a measly 100 million And we know the NSA has 100 mil to spend every day of the week .... (As a matter of fact, no one actually knows how much the NSA has to spend) to get that certain patented software built into Qik, and toss the remainder of the codes into the junk bin, the competition is shut down, like companies often do, in this case the competition, as it is emerging through the democratic world, is we the people.

Us.

You and me.

The world is spinning faster folks, pay attention.




But there is still Bambuser.

Microsoft email privacy alert

A note circulating from Microsoft to holders of Outlook email accounts, under the heading 'Our Terms of use are Changing' ..... You may want to go ahead and follow their links to learn about what they actually propose beginning in August, 2014.

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

Our users' needs are at the center of everything we do. That's why we are updating the Microsoft Services Agreement and providing a Privacy Statement for Windows Services. We want to take this opportunity to highlight some of the key changes and what they mean for you.

Privacy As part of our ongoing commitment to respecting your privacy, we won't use your documents, photos or other personal files or what you say in email, chat, video calls or voice mail to target advertising to you.

Transparency We updated our Code of Conduct so you can better understand the types of behaviors that could affect your account, and added language that parents are responsible for minor children's use of Microsoft account and services, including purchases.

 Simplicity We tailor our privacy statements for each of our products to help make it easier for you to find the information that is important to you.


The Microsoft Services Agreement applies to your Microsoft account and includes many of our customer services such as Outlook.com, OneDrive, and Bing, while the privacy statement explains how your personal information is collected, used and protected across your Microsoft account, Outlook.com and OneDrive.
The new updates to these will take effect on July 31, 2014. If you continue to use our services after July 31, 2014, you agree to the updated terms or, if you don't agree, you can cancel your service at any time.

Thank you for using Microsoft services

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

There are several links attached to the mail which allow you to follow and learn what to expect.
What I expect is that they are counting on the fact that you just trust them and will not explore your privacy further.
Professing to protect you and your private communication is one thing, following the edicts of the Patriot Act and Homeland Security and allowing the FBI, CIA, NSA and various other government agencies to access your email is another.
Microsoft might be honest is assuring you that THEY will not read your email content, but they have no ability to stop the above agencies from following everything you do through your email transcripts. private companies trying to stop government access to your personal information is prohibited by law and even telling you that someone is reading your email information can result in a huge penalty and unwanted attention.

We suspect that hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions of email account holders, have migrated to safer email carriers and that Microsoft is feeling the losses. (As is the so-called Cloud storage that no one trusts to be secure from NSA back door access)

Some would suggest that you start now and set-up a more private, encrypted email account, and transfer your email content history, saved contacts and anything else important to your privacy concerns to the safe account and leave Microsoft and the NSA on their own. You needn't actually notify Microsoft of your actions, you simply clear out information and abandon the account and tell your friends and any businesses to switch, wait a time until you're sure nothing is going into the old Outlook account and then close it.  Be warned though, you will not be deleting your previous web history, that may remain on the servers, but you might be protecting the privacy of your future history, and millions of other web users are very worried about that too.

If it is important to you, you will find those other safe accounts. If you, like thousands, say you have nothing to hide because you're not doing anything wrong, and need not change anything, good luck.


You have fair warning to do it before July 31, 2014.

 What’s important to understand is that there are always members who will be attending, but who don’t want to be included in the list. Draw your own conclusions as to what these secretive power people may be really up to. No media are allowed into the conference or to interview the participants. Everything is held in total secrecy.

Was I right or was I right?

New documents revealed today from Edward Snowden, show that Microsoft corporation colluded with the FBI to bypass encryption within Outlook. Allowing them to see and read everything you ever sent through Outlook email!
I LIKE saying I told you so ...
And here is a post I wrote here on Bitches & Belches in March, 2010 - and yes, I'm still wearing that tin hat you all laughed about.

Conspiracy theory 3 ... Microsoft

Do you remember a few years ago the US Government threatened Microsoft under antitrust laws?
Funny how that interest sort of faded. But only for a while. Like they were regrouping somewhere in the cellars of the Pentagon or the NSA or the White House. Down there in the dark among the lizards.
Then the Government came charging back with a fury and threatened to dismantle Microsoft into three separate companies. They feared Microsoft had way too much power because of their monopolistic position in the computer market? That is bad, they said.
But wait, someone might have exclaimed, wouldn't a monopoly be a GOOD thing if a government could use it to control people and identify where they were and what they were saying and doing and thinking? And the road was headed to everyone owning a computer? And wouldn’t those puters most likely have the Windows Operating System? Isn't Windows on 98% of all PC computers with XP, Vista or now Windows 7 OS?
Have you noticed that when you go to a website, and then delete or clear all your cookies, and then go back to that website some time later, they seem to know who you are?
Didn't Microsoft put a unique number into your operating system under the hype that it was a good thing to control piracy of their software? Then under waves of protest from the public they said they wouldn't TURN ON that unique identifying number? Or at least YOU could turn it off? And doesn't your hard drive have a unique number too? Did you know that even your CD burner imprints a unique number onto every CD you burn identifying the actual burner? And your digital camera does the same thing. Even if you steal it from the web, someone can find out who TOOK that picture. And when and where?

Didn't the FBI come out with a sneaky computer spy system called Carnivore a few years ago, that could read the contents of any computer it wanted through your server? Then they changed the name because it seemed too ominous and scary and 1984ish? Funny how the past can scare us.
Carnivore could see every single email you sent to whomever and every word you typed into your hard drive or internet browser? Mostly Microsoft’s Internet Explorer of course. Including every password and user name you ever used in a chat room or discussion forum? And didn't all this happen at about the same time as Microsoft introduced Windows XP? And didn't the US hold these server companies hostage by threatening to shut them down unless they installed Carnivore into their systems without telling anyone? Without telling their customers? You.
Sorry for all these rhetorical questions, but ….

Doesn't Homeland Security and the Patriot Act give the government pitbulls the power to do anything they want without telling anyone about what they are doing? To fight terrorism they say? Hmm.
Isn't Microsoft starting to add things now to updates of its software without making it clear to technical people exactly what those updates are or what they are supposed to do? In Windows Media player some technicians have compared the guts of Media Player 9.0 with Media Player 10.0 and can't find the differences? So why the update?
Would the US government and Bill Gates have made a secret deal somewhere in the shadowy bowels of the Pentagon with all those Gila Monsters to allow Microsoft to continue as one company, so long as the Justice department had access to the Windows Operating System? Wouldn’t proud papa Bill Gates have done anything to avoid the Sophie’s choice decision about his company? His precious family. His birth child.
After all, we all know that starting a company becomes your googly baby, your loving family and you nurture it along the way until it becomes something to be proud of like your son growing up to be famous? And wouldn’t any worried parent have done what he had to do to keep it all together? Bill Gates being no exception?
I don't know ... wouldn’t he?

Er ... would the US government be that sneaky as to threaten Bill Gates into a deal that allowed them to monitor the masses through the most used computer system in the world? Oops, sorry for yet another rhetorical question, but I was there in the sixties.
I have not lost faith. I still believe in the sneakiness of certain humans who want their way. And I understand the vulnerability of parents who fear for their children. And I still know that stealthy power-mongering forces attempt to run the world from the dark side.

They say that when a venomous Gila Monster bites you, he doesn’t let go until sunset. I may even start believing in reptilian shape-shifters.
As the poetic prophet Bob Dylan once said, ‘It ain’t dark yet, but it’s gettin’ there.’
