WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE THEY SPRAYING?
Those white streaks trailing behind aircraft, from horizon to horizon, turning the sky into a murky haze, are not mere vapor trails from jet engines, but who is doing this and why? A new industry called Geo-engineering, driven by governments, scientists, and corporations, is intent on changing climate and con-trolling weather, supposedly for the good of mankind.

US: Department of Justice drops all charges against Goldman Sachs for subprime mortgage fraud, claiming that there is not enough evidence to bring a criminal case. [Evidence abounds, of course, but the government and the banks are partners-in-crime.] Reuters 2012 Aug 9 (Cached)

The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission has halted permits for new nuclear plants and renewal permits for existing plants after a federal court ruled that there are not adequate safeguards in place regarding storage of long-term radioactive waste.
CNN 2012 Aug 9 (Cached)

A US federal appeals court has dismissed a case against the government for wiretapping without a warrant. [Even though that is against the law, the court ruled that the executive branch (under the President) has 'sovereign immunity', which means it is above the law. No dictator in history ever had more power than this.] Anti-War 2012 Aug 8 (Cached)

More than 100 million Americans are on at least one welfare program, and that number does not include Social Security and Medicare.
End of the American Dream 2012 Aug 8 (Cached)

US: The federal government pours over half-a-trillion dollars per year into welfare programs; yet the poverty rate remains unaffected. [That's because government programs focus on making poverty comfortable instead of providing tools to escape it. Governments seldom solve problems. The more money they throw at a problem, the worse it gets.]

The pharmaceutical industry is developing bio-electronic devices to be implanted into the brain that can transform human beings into mind-controlled robots [all for the good of mankind, of course.] NaturalNews 2012 Aug 8 (Cached)

Colorado: Three eyewitnesses to the Batman massacre say they saw someone sitting in the front row receive a phone call, immediately walk to the emergency exit, and open the door for the gunman to enter. [Yet, police say with a straight face that there is no reason to believe that the gunman had accomplices1] YouTube posted 2012 Aug 7

Colorado: Batman "lone gunman" shooter was apprehended at his car, but this aerial photograph shows bloody footprints running past his car and vanishing. A second gas mask was found near the end of the bloody trail. [Could there have been more than one person involved and that the person who left the bloody footprints was picked up at the curb and driven from the scene?]

New study of GMOs shows that they reduce fertility in animals and, when the diet is continued over several generations, total sterility results. [You read that right. After several generations on GMO food, it is possible that the human race may become extinct.] NaturalNews 2012 Aug 6 (Cached)

Wisconsin: Six people and a gunman were killed in a shooting massacre in a Sikh church. [The official story was quickly released, stating that the dead shooter acted alone. However, two eye witnesses say there were four gunman acting as a team.]

US: Federal government is providing free phones to those with low-incomes to the point where millions of cell phones now are paid for by those who pay their own phone bills. One woman boasts that she has more than thirty cell phones - all 'free'. [That's what happens when government attempts to help some at the expense of others. It's the nature of collectivism.] YouTube posted 2012 Aug 6

Syrian rebels took 48 Iranian travelers from a bus and now hold them as hostages, claiming they are a military unit sent to assist the Syrian government. Iran says the kidnapped people are religious pilgrims and that there are no Iranian military in Syria.

US: Senate Republicans narrowly blocked the Cybersecurity Act that would have authorized the federal government to monitor and censor the Internet. [Obama is expected to issue an executive order that will accomplish the same thing without passage of legislation.] Occupy Corporatism 2012 Aug 6 (Cached)

The US Treasury reports that government debt is at $17.5 trillion. [When Social Security, Medicare, and other 'entitlements' and unfunded obligations are added to the bill, US debt rises to $84 trillion. This can never be repaid, but it will be made to disappear by inflating the currency until the dollar is worthless. That will take care of the national debt, no matter how high it is, but it also will destroy those who continue to hold their savings in dollars.] NCPA posted 2012 Aug 4 (Cached)

Iran successfully tested a new, short-range missile capable of targeting any point within about 180 miles. [This adds credibility to Iran's threat that, if it is attacked, it will retaliate against enemy military forces near its borders and shut down the Strait of Hormuz (40% of the world's sea-borne exported oil passes through the Strait), risking a military response from the US.] MSN Money 2012 Aug 4 (Cached)

Some GMO crops have hard spikes that destroy heavy-duty tractor tires. Farmers now have to purchase Kevlar (bulletproof) tires at great additional expense. [If corporate farms don't care about the health hazards associated with GMO crops, perhaps a jolt in the wallet will catch their attention.] NaturalSociety 2012 Aug 4 (Cached)

US: House passes bill eliminating Senate approval of presidential appointments. [This rewrites Article II of the Constitution, diminishes the role of the Senate, and expands presidential power.

                            ANALYSIS
Reports and commentaries that look beyond the news to identify historical facts and trends that must be understood to place the news into perspective. This is our "think-tank" section that makes it possible to anticipate future events.

Geoengineers who advocate dumping chemicals into the stratosphere (a phenomenon often referred to as 'chemtrails') say it will cost $50 billion a year but is worth it because it would combat global warming (a politically motivated myth) and could alleviate droughts. [Negative consequences are not being disclosed to the public. The last paragraph of this article contains a quote from one of these 'scientists', Mike Hulme, that is highly significant. He says the only way to test geoengineering is to implement it on a large scale. In other words, research and implementation are the same. Keep that in mind the next time you hear one of these geoengineers say they are 'only testing' the process.] To learn more about WHAT and WHY they are spraying, click here.

Ben Swann, on Reality Check, points out that the National Defense Authorization Act makes it illegal to assist al-Qaeda, but Obama and Congress now ARE supporting al-Qaeda by sending $25 million in aid to the Syrian rebel opposition who are affiliated with al-Qaeda and have members in their ranks. [Al-Qaeda is sometimes the 'terrorist enemy' and sometimes the 'rebel ally' depending entirely on which government is being toppled.] ZeroHedge posted 2012 Aug 8

Precious metals analyst, Chris Powell, explains why and how the US government secretly trades and manipulates the gold and silver markets (along with every other financial market) with complete immunity. [The Fed is intimately involved, of course, which is why it refuses to release records on gold swaps with foreign banks. This and much more.]

US: An academic military study looks to the future and describes how the Army will be used to regain control over geographical areas that have fallen into the hands of 'Tea Party insurrectionists.' [What the military now does to insurrectionists in the Middle East is what it is prepared to do to the Tea Party in America.] InfoWars 2012 Aug 7 (Cached)

During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you determine whether, or not, an older person should be put in a care home?"

"Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub with water. Then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the person and tell him to empty the bathtub."

"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it is bigger than the spoon, or the teacup."

"No, he said. "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"

YES, THERE ARE CHEMTRAILS IN AUSTRALIA
2012 Aug 3 from Emma Vedris
Dear Sir,
I am writing in response to the comment made by Crispin on July 26 2012. There are in fact Chemtrails, Geo-Engineering, Stratospheric Aerosol Spraying being undertaken in the skies of Australia. I am recording the frequency of Chemtrails in a diary and I am taking photos when I can. I live in Sydney and have travelled interstate and witnessed the Chemtrails there also.

HANDS OFF OBAMA
2012 Aug 3 from Kent Brashear
Mr. Griffin, can you tell me why there is such a hands off attitude toward Obama. I've lived through 13 presidents and never seen anything like it. No one will touch the natural-born-citizen issue or any number of tyrannical acts he has committed. And the man won't even respect the flag by putting his hand over his heart when the national anthem is played.

I was a military man with 16 years of service prior to a medical retirement. I was both enlisted and commissioned and I know the FBI checked me out at least four times. When I first enlisted in 1963 I had to show my birth certificate, driver license, high school diploma and college transcript. And that was just to become a basic trainee.

It seems to me that the Commander-in-Chief should at least go through the level of background check as an airman basic. What's wrong here?

REPLY BY GEG:
It's very simple, Kent. The nation is in the hands of her enemies. Freedom Force is working to change that.

SPRAYING IN MICHIGAN- 1970
2012 Aug 2 from Patricia Goodwin
I was raised about 35 miles north of Detroit & about 4 miles north of Selfridge A.F.B., New Baltimore, MI & raised my children there also that where all born in the 1960's. In the early 1970's the Detroit News [newspaper I read] published a startling & very terrifying article. Remembering as best I can, the US Military was flying planes over major cities [including Detroit] throughout the US spraying chemicals & etc. It was to see how wind currents would spread illnesses, we where about 35 miles north of Detroit. I was terrified for my children, since we lived close the the base, I naively believed they would never do anything that would endanger our troops.

WHY IN THE WORLD ARE THEY SPRAYING? Geo-engineering and Weather Control.
Why are we being sprayed? Answers: (1) Metallic nano- particles in the stratosphere make it possible to control the weather, which is a military priority for many countries. (2) Weather Derivatives are traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange as insurance against loss of crops due to bad weather. If you can covertly control the weather, you can make a fortune by always being right. Your friends who still think that chemtrails are just water vapor will be stunned by the revelations in this program. DVD. (More)


WORLD WITHOUT CANCER
The Story of Vitamin B17
G. Edward Griffin
marshals evidence that cancer is a deficiency disease, like scurvy or pellagra, caused by the lack of an essential food factor in modern man’s diet. That substance is vitamin B17, also known as Laetrile. This story is not approved by orthodox medicine. The FDA, the AMA, and The American Cancer Society have labeled it fraud and quackery. Yet the evidence is clear that here is the answer to the cancer riddle. Why has orthodox rejected this non drug approach? The author contends that the answer is to be found, not in science, but in politics – based upon the economic and power agenda of those who dominate the medical establishment. Sale now in progress.

LAETRILE CASE HISTORIES
The Richardson Cancer Clinic Experience, by J.A. Richardson, M.D. & Patricia Griffin, R.N. 62 case histories proving beyond any doubt that Laetrile (Vitamin B17) works in the control of cancer. These are not anecdotal stories or people who never had cancer in the first place. Each history is authenticated by a firm diagnosis and meticulous medical documentation. Includes a follow up 30 years after patients were diagnosed as "incurable," Proof is in the life-span of these people who, previously, had been told by their doctors that they had just a few months or weeks to live.

WHO'S WHO OF THE ELITE V. 9
Membership lists for Bilderbergs, CFR, Skull & Bones, and The Trilateral Commis-sion. People speak of the “ruling elite” but seldom mention names. Well, here they are. Drawing from membership lists of the world’s most powerful and, in some cases, secret organizations, the names emerge in alphabetical order and cross-indexed by affiliation. Descriptions of each organization are included. Version 9 has been updated to include the most current information available. It would take years of research to duplicate this amazing compendium..

SILENT CLOTS; LIFE'S BIGGEST KILLERS by James Privitera, M.D.
This is the story of a diagnostic tool called the Dark-field Microscope and how it is used to detect the early stages of blood clotting that, if untreated, can develop into poor circulation, heart attack, or stroke.

DEAD WRONG
How Psychiatric Drugs Can Kill Your Child. This is the story of one mother’s quest to find out why her happy, outgoing son committed suicide shortly after being placed on psychiatric drugs. She discovered that suicidal and homicidal impulses are well-known side effects of these drugs, yet psychiatrists claim they are safe. Once you hear what health experts, drug counselors, and doctors say, you will conclude that psychiatrists are dead wrong. DVD (More)

THE SECOND DALLAS; WHO KILLED RFK?
This documentary challenges the official version of Robert Kennedy’s assassination. 11 bullets were found that supposedly came from Sirhan Sirhan’s 8-bullet gun. The coroner found powder burns on RFK’s ear next to the fatal shot in the back of his head and testified that the gun had to be only 2 or 3 inches away for that effect, but that Sirhan fired his pistol in front of RFK and was 3 to 6 feet away. An expert on hypnotism, after hypnotizing Sirhan in prison, said he could have been programmed under hypnotism prior to the assassination? Astounding facts withheld from the jury, blatant forgeries, and destroyed evidence on the part of authorities add up to a world-class cover-up. (More)


THE CREATURE FROM JEKYLL ISLAND; A SECOND LOOK AT THE FEDERAL RESERVE  by
G. Edward Griffin
This is the classic exposé of the Fed that has become one of the best-selling books in its category of all time. This new 5th Edition includes a no-holds barred analysis of bank bailouts under the Bush and Obama Administrations that are shown to be nothing less than legalized plunder of the American people. Many other updates have been added, including a revision to the list of those who attended the historic meeting at Jekyll Island where the Federal Reserve was created. (More)

CANCER; THE FORBIDDEN CURES
Cancer is the only disease that has been defeated dozens of times without anyone knowing it. In the last 100 years, dozens of doctors, scientists, and researchers have developed diverse and effective solutions against cancer only to be thwarted by the political and propaganda power of the drug-dominated medical profession. This is the story of Essiac, Hoxsey, Laetrile, Shark Cartilage, Mistletoe, and Bicarbonate of Soda all put together in a stunning overview that leaves no doubt that inexpensive cures for cancer do exist but are systematically blocked by Big Pharma because they come from nature and cannot be patented.

PROJECT RED PILL
The Matrix is one of the most talked about movies of recent time and is perceived by many as a metaphor of real life. Project Red Pill will rescue our fellow humans from the Matrix, allowing them to choose reality over delusion. The first step is to create a flow of information independent of mainstream media. Most people in the Matrix are wired up to television, so video is where we must start. (More)

REMOVE CHLORINE FROM YOUR SHOWER
It is common for health-conscious families to install chlorine-removal filters in their kitchens, but it has been estimated that we absorb more chlorine through our skin when taking a bath than we ever could from drinking water. That is because the body's skin surface is larger than the intestinal surface and because the lungs, too, are very efficient absorbers, and we inhale a substantial amount of chlorine gas while bathing. Benefits of de-chlorinated water are reduced exposure to toxic chlorine, healthier, younger looking skin; softer, more manageable hair; less fading of color-treated hair; relief from dry skin and scalp; and better lathering. Removes 90% or more of chlorine. (More)


 

GLOBAL WARMING
AND GLOBAL FEUDALISM
A discourse by G. Edward Griffin
Without notes or preparation, Griffin fields questions about the United Nations, global warming, and how these topics are tied together. Here are some of the issues covered:
Is the UN our last best hope for peace or the foundation for global feudalism? Is the UN controlled by leaders of nations or by hidden structures and power brokers? If the latter, who are they? Are American elitists motivated by love of country, desire for international harmony, or something less admirable? Is it possible to get out of the UN, or have we passed the point of no return? With regard to global warming, what is Agenda 21? Is forced population-control justified to save the planet? Is the UN's report on global warming based on valid science? If not, then what? If the mission of the World Health Organization is not world health, then what? What are the IMF and World Bank and why should anyone care about them? What is the Freedom Force strategy for reversing the trend toward global feudalism? (More)


OVER-THE-COUNTER NATURAL CURES by “The People’s Chemist”, Shane Ellison, M.S. A former chemist for Big Pharma tells how drugs are highly toxic and, in many cases, cause greater illness than they alleviate. But the nutritional supplements sold in health-food stores also are manufactured by pharmaceutical companies and are not the “natural” products we assume they are. Synthetic vitamins may be chemically similar to those in nature but they are devoid of the co-factors found in the natural state, and that means that vitamins in a pill are far less effective than in foods and herbs. This led Ellison to examine thousands of natural sources, to identify those that are loaded with complete nutrition. In the process, he found some that can produce astounding reversals of such chronic diseases as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer – all for under $10 for a 30-day supply. This book could save you thousands of dollars and may even save your life. (More)


THE NEW AMERICAN CENTURY
The Secret Plan for World Domination. This documentary provides the missing link for the truth about 9/11. The missing link is MOTIVE. If you cannot imagine why anyone would want to cover up essential evidence, then wonder no more. Taken from the words of the plotters themselves, you will come to understand that a terrorist attack was exactly what they hoped for to justify a massive military incursion into the Middle East, all of which was planned long before 9/11. You will witness decades of maneuvering for the control of oil and gas resources and see, first hand, incredible war profits on a scale much greater than ever before in history. Even if you are familiar with some of these events, this is the first time all of them have been brought together in one place. (More)

THE FEDERAL RESERVE
A Discourse by G. Edward Griffin
The author of The Creature from Jekyll Island; A Second Look at the Federal Reserve addresses such issues as: Who created the Fed? How is money created?
What impact has this had on the American Dollar? Should our currency be backed by gold or silver? Where does government get most of its funding? Why do bankers get away with it? What might happen if we continue on our current path? What might come from a return to constitutional money? (More)
