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.

Norway: Anders Breivik was convicted for killing 77 people and sentenced to the maximum 21 years in prison that is available in Norwegian courts. He apologized to fellow "nationalists" for not killing more. [Note the twist in this report: After his sentence, Breivik gave the Communist clenched-fist salute, but Russia Times describes him as a right-wing extremist.] RT 2012 Aug 24 (Cached)

Virginia: Former Marine who was taken into custody by the FBI, Secret Service, and police last week and placed into a psychiatric hospital because of his postings on Facebook was released today. [There were no charges against him, but the cause of the arrest was that he was critical of the government and posted song lyrics that referred to revolution. A judge dismissed the case because the petition for psychiatric detention contained no facts.] YouTube 2012 Aug 23

India has blocked scores of social media sites because it says they spread false rumors of Islamist revenge attacks. [These postings caused panic and riots in the Northern provinces of India and the exodus of 40,000 people who thought they might be killed if they stayed.] RT 2012 Aug 23 (Cached)

The BBC removed a video posted earlier showing Syrian rebels tricking a kidnapped prisoner into becoming a suicide bomber. [The reason BBC censored the story is because it contradicted its party line that the rebels are praiseworthy and deserve Western support.] InfoWars 2012 Aug 23 (Cached)

US: Kansas Secretary of State, along with ten employees of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), have filed suit against Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and ICE Director John Morton for Obama's deferred-deportation policies because they violate federal law.

Tampa police will deploy dozens of ‘behavior recognition’ surveillance cameras at the Republican National Convention later this month.

Scientist calls for geoengineering experiments using ships that shoot seawater into the sky. [Theoretically that will cool the atmosphere and increase cloud formation to reflect away sunlight. He says private organizations should not do this because they have a profit motive and cannot be trusted, but he says governments should do this because they do not have hidden agendas and can be trusted. No kidding. That's what he said.] DailyMail 2012 Aug 21 (Cached)

Washington state's Supreme Court rules that a mortgage can be foreclosed only by the actual holder of the promissory note, not an intermediary agent that simply tracks the documents on behalf of the note holder. [That means thousands of foreclosure proceedings in Washington state are invalid. This is a major setback to banks and other mortgage lenders who have relied on an intermediary company called MERS to foreclose on their behalf. It remains to be seen if the actual note holders will be able to reclaim the foreclosures.] KOMO News 2012 Aug 20

More than 40 international health experts refute the claim that smart meters and other wireless devices, such as cell phones and Wi-Fi, pose no health hazard. MaisonSaine posted 2012 Aug 20 (Cached)

                            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.

Compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) are less efficient and more expensive to operate than incandescent bulbs. [We didn't believe it, either – until we saw this video. Tell us what you think.]
YouTube posted 2012 Aug 21

The US has the highest prison population in the world, in both absolute numbers and percentages. [This is due to the aggressive role played by the federal government in what used to be (and should be) local law enforcement – and also because of the so-called war on drugs, which imprisons hundreds of thousands of people for merely smoking pot.] YouTube 2012 Aug 21

Bill Murphy of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee says that gold and silver are set for large price increases very soon. [The reasons are (1) there is a scandal at JP Morgan about to surface that will shatter public confidence in the precious-metals futures market and (2) the manipulators are close to exhausting their stockpiles with which to continue driving prices down.] YouTube 2012 Aug 21

"One Nation under Water" is a short and jaw-dropping video commentary on how Congress is spending the US into oblivion with entitlement programs and interest on the debt. [This is unsustainable and can be paid off only by the total collapse of the dollar – and the economy with it.] YouTube 2012 Aug 21

Judge Napolitano responds to Obama's former economic advisor Larry Summer's claim that government cannot shrink if current entitlement obligations (Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, and pensions) are not trimmed. [Summers is right, but he fails to consider what could happen if those under age 50 were given the chance to opt out of these entitlements and choose a free-market alternative. If this is not done, the system cannot avoid total collapse within the next few years.] Fox Insider 2012 Aug 21

A gorgeous young redhead goes into the doctor's office and said that her body hurt wherever she touched it.

'Impossible!' says the doctor. 'Show me.'

The redhead took her finger, pushed on her left shoulder and screamed, then she pushed her elbow and screamed even more. She pushed her knee and screamed; likewise she pushed her ankle and screamed. Everywhere she touched made her scream.

The doctor said, 'You're not really a redhead, are you?

'Well, no' she said, 'I'm actually a blonde.'

'I thought so,' the doctor said, 'Your finger is broken.'

I'm in. I will order the DVD (Why in the World Are They Spraying), and it will be a early Christmas present for my family. I have been tryin to get their attention for years. I knew it was bad and now they wil also. Some people are too busy or scared, but I'll try again. They already think I'm crazy. At least now I'm in good company. This is also for my autistic granddaughter who needs my voice. Winning is the only option left.

PRESIDENT GRANT VS. THE CENTRAL BANK
2012 Aug 18 from Marv Lewis
Dear Mr Griffin,
Great story about Andrew Jackson (in Unfiltered News Aug 17), but a better story is about Grant as President. Grant called the banksters to the White House and called them "thieves." He paid off the War Between the States" debt in one year. The banks retaliated by not sending gold bullion to the West for farmers to buy seed the next year. The result was one of the worst depressions that the US ever faced.

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..

DEAD WRONG

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)
