You cannot prove there are no ghosts
You cannot prove there are no ghosts
Believe it or not, that headline has a lot to do with the theory of global warming, which is the topic of this commentary. Read on.
This week, the content of Need to Know News will be different from the norm. (1) It will be dominated by information about the theory of man-made global warming and (2) it will be smaller than usual. The reason for both of these is that I now am in Phoenix up to my earlobes in preparations for the Freedom Force Third Congress, Global Warming, an Inconvenient Lie and, truth be told, I am out of time to analyze all the news stories that are in the cue for this issue.
In addition, I have spent quite a bit of time processing emails from readers who responded to our announcement of the Phoenix conference, and many of them took considerable time for analysis.
After fretting about the impossibility to do all things needed, it occurred to me that I should simply accept reality and focus on the global-warming issue, for which I already had reams of important information, and fill in the rest with whatever news items I can in the time remaining. My thought is that the news will be here today and gone tomorrow, but information on the global-warming issue will be propagated forward for as long as the myth is with us.
So, that is what we have in this issue, and we will begin with the most critical information on common myths about the theory of global warming. The less critical items will remain in the Forum section of this page. Please forgive me for repeating a few items from the last edition.
And now, about those ghosts …

WHO HAS THE BURDON OF PROOF, BELIEVERS OR SKEPTICS?
2016 Dec 1 from Murray Hall
Mr. Griffin,
Global warming is real. Please provide your facts and proof that global warming is a lie! I look forward to receiving your response.
REPLY BY GEG:
Hello Murray.
This is in response to your request for me to provide proof that global warming is a lie. It is an axiom of logic that it is impossible to prove a negative. For example, it is impossible to prove that Queen Elizabeth never uttered a cuss word or that ghosts don’t exist. The best one can do is to show that there is no hard evidence that the Queen cussed or that ghosts exist. To demand that a person produce proof of a negative is not logical because the task is impossible.
The other side of the argument, however, is different. If one says the Queen DOES cuss or that ghost DO exist, we are entitled to see a video recording of her doing so (with witnesses who independently confirm it) and to experience a convincing demonstration of a ghostly visit.
Bringing this to the scientific realm, it is impossible to prove that gold cannot be created out of lead, so asking someone to prove it is illogical. That does not mean we should assume that gold-from-lead is possible, but merely that we understand that a negative is not subject to proof. On the other hand, if someone says that gold CAN be derived from lead, we have every right to ask that person to prove it while we watch. If he fails to do so, then it is reasonable to question the validity of his claim.
I mention this to put perspective on your illogical expectation that I should prove a negative hypothesis (that global warming does not exist). However, this also puts perspective on a logical expectation for me to expect you to prove that global warming DOES exist. You are the one who is asserting a hypothesis subject to proof by scientific method, so let us see it. If you cannot produce it, or if what you offer is shown to be fatally flawed, then it is reasonable to question it.
The burden of proof is on those who claim that anthropogenic global warming is real, not on those who question it. That means the entire discussion hinges on the quality of the scientific evidence in support of AGM. However, as will be demonstrated at our conference (Global Warming, an Inconvenient Lie), the quality of that evidence is so low that it must be graded as junk science.
It is too late to register for this event, but please watch Need to Know News for the announcement of a free broadcast on the Internet of the entire program. If you cannot catch that, and if you want to acquire a video of the event, eventually it will be available in DVD.

THE ALKA-SELTZER OCEAN
2016 Dec 2 from Professor Will Happer (Princeton)
[This is in response to Burt Maupin’s belief that CO2 is causing acidification of the ocean. This belief undoubtedly was influenced by NOAA, the United States National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration. NOAA says:
“…CO2 absorbed by the ocean is changing the chemistry of the seawater, a process called OCEAN ACIDIFICATION.” Elsewhere on NOAA’s web site, it states: “… continued ocean acidification is causing many parts of the ocean to become undersaturated with these minerals [calcium carbonate], which is likely to affect the ability of some organisms to produce and maintain their shells.”
Please note the phrase “is likely to”. This is speculation. If there is evidence to support this, it is not provided. This theory is scientifically challenged in the reports attached to Professor Happer’s reply, below:]
Dear Burt and Ed, Burt asks a very good question about ocean pollution. None of us want to pollute the ocean. We should not be dumping real pollutants in the ocean. But CO2 is not a pollutant and it cannot acidify the ocean, which is very basic (alkaline) because of the mixture of salts in it. Ocean chemistry is similar to that of “alka seltzer” (sodium bicarbonate).
I have attached two paper on CO2 and “ocean acidification.” One, by Patrick Moore, a founder of Greenpeace [in Canada], is written for non-technical readers. The second, by myself and the late Roger Cohen, is written for nerds. The message of both is the same. If anything, more CO2 will make the oceans more productive, just as they were in the geological past when CO2 levels were much higher than today. In fact, those historic levels were higher than any that could be produced today by burning all the economically available fossil fuels.

SHELL FISH ADAPT TO CO2 AND pH CHANGES
2016 Dec 2 from The Viscount Monckton of Brenchley
Dear Mr Maupin,
There is no need to worry about ocean “acidification”. The oceans are and, under anything like modern conditions must remain, pronouncedly alkaline. The pH or acid-base scale, which is logarithmic, runs from 0-14, where 7 is neutral. Values below 7 are acid and values above 7 are alkaline. For calibration, rainwater is pronouncedly acid at pH 5.4, while seawater is pronouncedly alkaline at pH 7.9.
The calcite corals, among the most ancient of the calcifying (i.e. calcium-carbonate shell-making) organisms, first evolved in the Cambrian era 550 million years ago. The more delicate aragonite corals first achieved algal symbiosis 175 million years ago in the Jurassic era. Both types of coral survived the most recent period during which the ocean is thought to have been acid, about 54-million years ago. They are, therefore, capable of coping with acidity – and, indeed, they must do this, because some coral reefs are not far from the mouths of rivers that, in flood, discharge very large volumes of acid rainwater into the ocean, so that local conditions in the ocean are mildly acid.
The reason why it was originally thought that a reduction in the alkalinity of the oceans might harm calcifying organisms is that laboratory experiments added acids to seawater, dissolving the shells in the water. However, this dissolution occurred only because the introduction of the acids drove the chemical reaction in precisely the wrong direction. It is now better understood – though seldom reported in the mainstream news media – that the corals and other calcifying organisms are well able to withstand even quite large and sudden changes in ocean pH.
Furthermore, there has been no sufficiently-resolved, systemic global measurement of the pH of the oceans. There are a few short-time series for individual locations, but these data are much affected by local conditions that may not be relevant at the global scale. So there is very little in the way of evidence that the oceans are becoming less alkaline.
Nor would we expect much change: for there is already 60-70 times as much CO2 in the oceans as there is in the atmosphere, so even taking all the CO2 in the atmosphere and transferring it to the occeans would not make much difference to their acid-base balance.
Ocean “acidification”, then, is just one more scare whipped up by environmental Socialists for political purposes that have nothing to do with the environment.

GEOENGINEERING CAUSING WARMING?
posted 2016 Nov 26 from Valeri Hood
Dear Mr. Giffin
As long as the massive geoengineering program is on-going, how can we eliminate the idea of global warming? We are seeing the icebergs and glaciers melt at an incredible pace- I’ve seen this for myself. ‘They’ have thrown in a factor that we can’t accurately account for, as we don’t have a testing mechanism worldwide to track what they are doing to all weather systems.
I don’t really understand how anyone can say conclusively that global warming is not occurring-given geoengineering, and I don’t know how we can say that human pollution will not have an effect on the temperature.
RPLY BY GEG:
Hello Valeri.
I am glad you raised these questions. Regarding melting of the icebergs, some are melting and some are growing. The total global ice, including Arctic and Antarctic, has been growing for quite a while, but the news media talks only about those components of the total that favor the myth of global warming. You will see the scientific proof of that in the video version of our conference.
The issue of human waste and pollution is challenging. We all hate pollution, and everything possible should be done to eliminate it, but that is not an argument for global warming. I have never seen any scientific evidence that the two are related in any signicant way. Pollution and global warming are two different things and almost totally unrelated. We should be alert to the media mind-conditioning to which we are subjected in which we see images of ugly and detestable pollution while listening to the narrator speak against the horrors of global warming. It’s a trick.
In my view, the claim that geoengineering actually causes planetary warming is valid, but please note that the leaders of the global-warming theory are not calling for the end of geoengineering. In fact, most of them are repeating the line that geoengineering is a terribly dangerous thing to undertake. They warn that much could go wrong, but then they say we are running out of time to save the planet, so we have no choice but to take the risk.
Instead, the global warmists are demanding the reduction of CO2 – and, as we shall prove at the conference, CO2 does not and never could produce anywhere near the warming catastrophe being predicted. As Professor Happer at Princeton University (and others) will show, CO2 is not toxic to humans, is essential to plant growth (think agriculture) and now is at lower levels than ever before in recorded history. The truth is that the Earth needs more CO2, not less.
When people see this evidence, often they are confused, because they cannot believe that the scientists who promote the theory of global warming could make such a huge mistake. The answer is that the warmists are not real scientists – in the classical sense that they are seeking scientific truth. Rather, they have prostituted themselves and their knowledge of science to promote a political agenda. That agenda is to scare us into accepting crushing taxes and government controls to reduce an alleged ‘carbon footprint’ from CO2 supposedly to save the planet.
They claim that the global-warming skeptics are all working for the oil and coal industries. Not only is this false but, if you look carefully, you will find that almost all of the people promoting the global-warming hoax are politicians, government employees, or work for institutions that are funded by government. If you are looking for a conflict of interest, you need go no further.
This and much more will be exposed at the conference in Phoenix. It is too late to register for the event but not too late to obtain a DVD recording at low, event prices. That can be done here. Thanks for writing.

He said, “Up until last week, I had it all. I had plenty to eat, my clothes were washed and pressed, I had a roof over my head, I had TV and Internet, and I went to the gym, the pool, and the library. I was working on my MBA on-line. I had no bills and no debt. I even had full medical coverage.”
I felt sorry for him, so I asked, “What happened? Drugs? Alcohol? Divorce?”
“Oh no, nothing like that,” he said. “I got out of prison.”

A GEOSCIENTIST SAYS NO GLOBAL WRMING 2016 Dec 1 from: Ed Dibble
Dear Mr. Griffin,
As an old geoscientist with my degrees from the U. of Michigan – 1955, 1956, I have long since quit worrying about “climate change”. One only needs to study the work of Charles Schuchert as displayed in his Atlas of Paleogeographic Maps of North America, Wiley & Sons, 1955 to determine how little humans affect geologic change. Do keep on keeping on…and good luck.

Dear Mr. Griffin,
Some years ago I read about a Freedom Force International plan to place individualists in positions of influence to counteract the forces of collectivism. After Mr. Trump’s election victory I came across a website, https://www.greatagain.gov/ where people can apply to work in the new administration. I think this is a good opportunity for ambitious freedom lovers to make a positive difference.
While what is now labeled “populism” is not exactly the same as individualism, it sure is a lot closer than “globalism”, which is the collectivist’s dream (the whole world being ruled by a few “elite”.) Aside from being able to apply for employment, the site also invites suggestions on ways to “make America great again.” Readers may want to take advantage of either or both options. Let’s influence!

YOU MUST BE OVER THE TARGET
2016 Nov 26 from: Elaine Willman
G. Edward, I tracked down and read Wigington’s all-out assault on you, your colleagues, and the upcoming event in Tempe. Also watched your video and think your response was necessary and well done.
Having spent 25 years researching and speaking on an equally controversial topic, I just want you to know that sometimes, confrontation is high praise. I had a friend once tell me that “you must be directly over the target if you’re taking so much flak.” Your upcoming event (Global Warming, an Inconvenient Lie) is directly over the target, so no wonder the flak. Many folks dependent upon the global-warming hoax are likely fearing a loss of job security and future work… I remind myself of that when I incur another critic. I salute your courage and candor.

MY OLD COLLEGE PROFESSOR SAID …
posted 2016 Nov 26 from Charles Motley
Ed,
My studies were in Geology, and 45 years ago, my professor asked us if we were in a glacial receding or oncoming era, — and all in our class knew it was a receding era.
The professor said the sun goes through cycles of heating up and cooling down (over hundreds of years). Then he pointed out petroleum deposits at the most northern part of Alaska and coal in Antarctica, both coming form an “Amazon” like era thousands of years ago. Also 6 or 7 layers of stone and debris pushed down in minor glacial cycles, deposited in Ohio, but also other eras much further south.
Now these cycles come and go in simple harmonic motion. Picture the arm on a grandfather clock. As it swings down it picks up speed, then loses speed as it goes uphill, and to a final stop. Then on the reverse swing it again picks up speed at the bottom and slows to a stop going back up the other side. So, we are in an era of increasing warming, but we don’t know where in the cycle we are, or how strong this cycle is, — but for sure most of these cycles always occurred before humans.
It irritates me when the liberals say “The Science is such-and-such.” Well to me, the science is that this is a reoccurring cycle and has nothing to do with humans, and very little we can do to change it. Oh, I heard Al Gore on Public Radio saying that streets in Miami are already going under water. Well in our lifetime the ocean level has hardly raised an 1/8th inch, and all roads are higher than that.

DO WE HAVE AN INFILTRATOR?
posted 2016 Nov 26 from Dave
Hello Mr. Griffin.
My Son and I have suspected Dane [Wigington] as an infiltrator for a year. We actually talked to him by phone and asked why he would push the global-warming theory while being against Geoengineering. We told him that the power elites would use that to one day admit Geoengineering, saying that it is good for us since they are using it to stop Global Warming.
Clearly Dane has been bought. His site, which says Geoengineering is bad but Global warming is real, will play into the Communists/Illuminatis hands as it will put activists to sleep. Why should we oppose Geoengineering if it may help to stop Global Warming? Also, when the elites finally admit they are doing Chemtrails, they will say it was for our own good since it was to stop Global Warming.
We do not promote Dane anymore as we have determined he works for the other side.
COMMENT BY GEG:
While I am glad to receive support in my defense against Wittington’s attack on me, I want to say for the record that it is not my position that he is an agent provocateur. I am assuming that he merely has not done his homework on the theory of global warming.

The headline summarizes everything I want to say in this commentary, so I will leave it at that.
The featured stories from this week’s news, shown directly below, make it clear that the collectivists who seek to control us are masters of propaganda and Neural Linguistic Programming. They are political scientists who have mastered the technique of creating fake news stories – or putting false twists on real stories – that will create emotional feelings for or against whatever person, group, or agenda they wish.
As long as mainstream media is under the influence of this cabal, there is no defense except wide exposure to the truth. That is why these people want to criminalize any effort to challenges their narrative. They believe that labeling the truth as hate speech or fake news will create public support for censorship.
This is where you come in. The only thing that will foil this plan is to get the truth to as many people as possible as fast as possible – before the truth-tellers are thrown in prison.The best way to prevent that is to reach out to everyone you know and encourage them to read Need to Know News.
In the meantime, send them links to our weekly issues and use the social-media icons embedded in our pages to spread the word. People can subscribe free using the button at the top, right of each issue.
It is no exaggeration to say that the future of freedom may well depend on this single act.

Guess who is warning Americans about the danger of fake news on the part of those who report fraud and corruption in government and the media. It’s none other than Brian Williams, who lost his job as NBC anchor in 2015 after lying about coming under fire while in a helicopter during the Iraq war. InfoWars 2016 Dec 8 (Story) (Cached)
Pope Francis once again puts on his global-politician hat and lashes out against those who report on scandals involving government officials. He describes such reports as ‘fake news”. The irony is that he starts out by advocating transparency and free exchange of information and then calls for censorship of news about scandals and fraud in high places.

Washington, DC: Edgar Maddison Welch of North Carolina was arrested for reportedly firing a rifle into the floor inside the Comet Ping Pong pizza parlor. He says he was there to investigate the Pizzagate pedophilia scandal. [Huh? Firing a shot into the floor to insure that one gets arrested with lots of news coverage is an act of investigation? Is it a coincidence that Welch is a professional actor?] The author of this article, Piper McGowin, thinks it was a false-flag event that now is being used as an excuse to crack down on free speech and to stop real investigation by independent journalists.

Syria: As the rebel forces fighting against the Syrian government are nearing defeat, one of the rebel families has posted images on Twitter of Bana al-Abed, who they say is their seven-year-old daughter. The intent is to gain international sympathy for the rebels and anger against the government. The tweet, written by her mother, says they are in extreme danger.

James Corbett and James Evan Pilato report on new legislation in the UK, the Investigatory Powers Act, also known as the Snooper’s Charter. This law flatly gives the state the right to lie in court, including the right to lie about the source of its information. This deprives defendants of the right to a fair trial, because it denies them the right to cross-examine the witnesses against them. They also show the close parallel to laws already on the books in the US. Corbett Report 2016 Dec 8 (Story)

The EUs has levied $520-million in fines on three major banks, Credit Agricole, HSBC, and JP Morgan Chase. This is for rigging the Euribor interest-rate for derivatives, and other financial instruments, in breach of antitrust rules. [As usual, there is no mention of any fines or imprisonment for the bank executives who orchestrated the fraud. They will receive bonuses, while the fines will be paid by the stockholders of the banks. The government will receive a tidy bit of change to fatten their coffers – or possibly even to give back to the banks later on in the form of a bailout. The public thinks the banks are being punished, but nothing could be further from the truth. It’s a game that has been going on for decades.] AFP 2016 Dec 7 (Story)

GREAT TRUTHS CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:
1) No matter how hard you try, you can’t baptize cats.
2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don’t let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don’t hit her back. They always catch the second person.
4) You can’t trust dogs to watch your food.
GREAT TRUTHS ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:
1) Raising teenagers is like nailing Jello to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don’t hurt.
3) Families are like fudge…sweet, with a few nuts.
4) Today’s mighty oak is yesterday’s nut that held its ground.
5) Laughing is good exercise, like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.
GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD:
1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
2) Forget health food. You need all the preservatives you can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you’re down there.
4) It’s frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.
5) Time may be a great healer, but it’s a lousy beautician.

WANT TO REDUCE POPULATION?
THEN INCREASE PRODUCTION
2016 Dec 6 from Patrick Moore (Greenpeace-Canada founder)
My only alternative policy suggestion is to advance the mechanization of agriculture in the developing countries which will automatically address both population growth and poverty in a single action. All one needs is to analyze the current situation. Countries with mechanized agriculture employ only 5% or less of the population in food production, have stable or negative population growth and are relatively wealthy. Counties with subsistence agriculture have 60-80% of the population in food production, high population growth, and relative poverty.

LEAD INTO GOLD
2016 Dec 5 from Paul David Stoneburner
Subject: CANNOT PROVE THERE ARE NO GHOSTS – Need to Know News 2016 December 2
Oops. Sorry, but I think you finally made a mistake! Almost. There is nothing said that is actually false, but it wasn’t a very good example. It is quite possible to make gold from lead and, as I recall, such was done some thirty years ago. Whether in a reactor or cyclotron I don’t just now recall. The isotope created is unstable, but will decay into stable gold. However, the reason we’re not currently emulating Heaven and paving our streets with the stuff is that to manufacture gold costs many times the value of the product created—several trillion dollars per ounce. As a scientific endeavor to increase knowledge, a great idea. As a way to become wealthy, not so much. Love your news. Keep up the good work.
REPLY FROM GEG:
Hello Paul. I believe it was a particle accelerator at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and, as I recall, it was bismuth, not lead. In any event, please note that I was using this as a hypothetical analogy, not a fact of history, and it had to do with proof of a theory, not whether the theory would produce a profit. Either way, however, I don’t see what’s wrong with the example? I welcome your critique, though, because it’s good to know that people actually are reading my stuff. I’m also glad you like our news service. Thanks for writing.

Those guys in Russia are to blame for everything.
Those guys in Russia are to blame for everything.
At least that’s what those guys who supported Hillary in the presidential election would have us believe. I don’t think Putin and his guys are what you would call champions of truth and virtue, and I would not be surprised to learn that they hack anyone’s emails who they view as an opponent, but I also know that the NSA in the US has been doing exactly the same thing around the world for many years. That doesn’t make it OK, but it shows the hypocracy of those who endorse such actions for themselves but pretend to be shocked when done by others.
On top of that is the fact that, so far, neither the CIA or NSA have offered any hard evidence that Russia had anything to do with the DNC email hacks. In fact, there is good reason to suspect that the emails were sent to WikiLeaks by Seth Rich, an computer programmer for the Democrat National Committee who had access to the DNC computer. It may not be a coincidence that Seth was shot to death on the street near his home shortly after the hack was discovered. In case you are not aware of this, here are two stories that provide the details: (News item 1) (News item 2)
Even if the hack really was done by Russia, the facts revealed in the emails are more important to the security of America than who released them. The Establishment wants us to be indignant at the possibility of Russia doing the same thing the US does and entirely forget about the corruption that the emails revealed.
If Al Capone had leaked the private letters of Bugsy the Butcher proving that Bugsy had murdered the Chief of Police, are we to be so offended by the unauthorized publication of Bugsy’s letters that we forgive him of the murders? Even if Russia did hack the emails – which is doubtful – that would not purify Hillary or entitle her to occupy the White House.

Last month, the Washington Post admitted that its article condemning ‘fake news’ was, itself, fake news. It was based on a report from PropOrNot, an anonymous group that accused more than 200 websites of promoting Russian propaganda to sway the election against Hillary Clinton. Then, the Washington Post admitted it could not vouch for the accuracy of the report, which means it presented the undocumented opinion of an unknown writer as though it were a newsworthy fact. [By so doing, it published fake news, which is the very thing it was condemning. So what else is new?] The Duran posted 2016 Dec 10 (Story) (Cached)

ARE YOU CIVILLY DEAD?
2016 Dec 15 from Chris
Dear Ed, Regarding your article about the Sopreme Court ruling that the right to own a gun can be denied to those who have been convicted of misdemeanor-level domestic violence, this is legally termed “civil death”. That is one of the methods tyrants use to silence people like me who oppose their tyranny. This is nothing new. It has been used throughout human history. Here is a legal analysis on the subject:
All these news blurbs signal the death of this “republic”. We live in times similar to the days of Christ. The political officials of his time called him “mamzer”, which meant they considered him civilly dead. It’s in the Talmud as well as the New Testement. Because that didn’t silence him, they murdered him, because he was stirring up too much bad press on them.

WANT TO REDUCE POPULATION?
THEN INCREASE PRODUCTION
2016 Dec 6 from Patrick Moore (Greenpeace-Canada founder)
My only alternative policy suggestion is to advance the mechanization of agriculture in the developing countries which will automatically address both population growth and poverty in a single action. All one needs is to analyze the current situation. Countries with mechanized agriculture employ only 5% or less of the population in food production, have stable or negative population growth and are relatively wealthy. Counties with subsistence agriculture have 60-80% of the population in food production, high population growth, and relative poverty.

LEAD INTO GOLD
2016 Dec 5 from Paul David Stoneburner
Subject: CANNOT PROVE THERE ARE NO GHOSTS – Need to Know News 2016 December 2
Oops. Sorry, but I think you finally made a mistake! Almost. There is nothing said that is actually false, but it wasn’t a very good example. It is quite possible to make gold from lead and, as I recall, such was done some thirty years ago. Whether in a reactor or cyclotron I don’t just now recall. The isotope created is unstable, but will decay into stable gold. However, the reason we’re not currently emulating Heaven and paving our streets with the stuff is that to manufacture gold costs many times the value of the product created—several trillion dollars per ounce. As a scientific endeavor to increase knowledge, a great idea. As a way to become wealthy, not so much. Love your news. Keep up the good work.
REPLY FROM GEG:
Hello Paul. I believe it was a particle accelerator at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and, as I recall, it was bismuth, not lead. In any event, please note that I was using this as a hypothetical analogy, not a fact of history, and it had to do with proof of a theory, not whether the theory would produce a profit. Either way, however, I don’t see what’s wrong with the example? I welcome your critique, though, because it’s good to know that people actually are reading my stuff. I’m also glad you like our news service. Thanks for writing.

Real news about fake news
Real news about fake news
The more that mainstream media screeches about ‘fake news’ from whistleblowers and others exposing corruption in government, the more obvious it is becoming to mainstream citizens that it is the media, itself, that is the greatest purveyor of fake news.
We should be grateful to the propagandists for giving us an excellent phrase to throw back in their faces. Although it was designed as a word weapon to discredit alternative media, it is turning out to be a double-edged sword that cuts mainstream media more deeply than its intended victims.
The following reports from this week’s news are good examples of why even the readers of controlled news are becoming aware, indirectly, that they need to question what they see and hear from establishment sources, such as national networks and social media. Make sure your friends are made aware of these stories – and the rest of the news as well.

Anis Amri, 24, has been named as the main suspect in the Berlin truck attack after finding his ID in the cab of the truck. It is unknown if he had accomplices. Earlier this year Amri was classified by German police as a “potential threat”. Prior to arriving in Germany, Amri spent four years in an Italian prison for burning a school. It is reported that he also was convicted in absentia for aggravated theft with violence and sentenced to five years in prison. Fox News 2016 Dec 21 (Story) (Cached)
▼
There are certain facts about Anis Amri, the main suspect in the Berlin truck massacre, that support the suspicion that authorities knew the attack was imminent but did nothing to prevent it. Amri was well known to Italian and German authorities as a person with intent to commit acts of violence and he was being closely monitored. He was arrested by Italian authorities for trying to enter the country with a fake passport and he even shot a policeman during the confrontation. Authorities knew he had entered Germany with no identification papers but did not deport him. Heavy 2016 Dec 21 (Story) (Cached)

The late Andrew Breitbart explains that the Frankfurt School started as a think tank in Germany prior to World War I. After World War II, it adopted an agenda to spread Marxism throughout the world. Most of the Frankfurt School settled in Santa Monica, USA, in the 1940’s, but were frustrated by the success of capitalism that surrounded them. In response, they developed ‘cultural Marxism’ which now we experience daily as political correctness and multiculturalism. Schools everywhere began teaching topics that pit Americans against each other. Saul Alinsky consolidated the philosophy into actionable rules, and many newscasters now follow those rules. Hoover Institute posted 2016 Dec 19 (Story)
Venezuela: Last week, the 100-bolivarnote, the largest denomination of currency in the country, was worth two cents on the black market and fourteen cents at the official rate. This difference encouraged speculators to acquire the bills in the black market and spend them in stores where prices are kept artificially low by government-fixed prices. That, in turn, led to product shortages and runaway inflation. Then President Maduro announced that these notes would be pulled from circulation in 72 hours and would be worthless after that. Millions of Venezuelans scrambled to turn in their cash in exchange for newly printed notes of much higher denomination, but the new currency never arrived at the banks. Maduro then announced that the old bills will be good until January 2nd.. By then it was too late. The people had been tricked into giving their savings to the banks. Maduro declared a ‘victory’, because the banks had gone from holding just 2% of the nation’s currency to a whopping 80%. Such is collectivism. The Guardian 2016 Dec 18 (Story) (Cached)

WHAT KIND OF FOOL DOES THAT?
2016 Dec 19 from Jerry Scott
Four Gasses are critical to life systems on earth, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Hydrogen, and CO2. They have branded CO2 as a dirty pollutant. What kind of a FOOL does that? Methane and natural gas are ten times more greenhouse effective than CO2. The earth bleeds it from every pore in mega tons and most of it eventually oxidizes to water and CO2. The amazing thing is it cannot be stopped or regulated and therefor is not taxable. They have picked CO2 for the obvious reason that it can lead to taxes and carbon exchanges and great wealth and power and people control by certain ELITES.

Dear Ed,
I believe that your opening article in this week’s ‘Need to Know’ [Those guys in Russia are to blame for everyting] is right on the money. Every word. I wonder how the Seth Rich murder investigation is going, by the way. Regarding all of this ‘fake news’ business, there is an appropriate Polish term for it, ‘gówno prawda’, which translates literally to ‘shit truth’ or more commonly, ‘bullshit’.

WHY DO GHOSTS PASS THROUGH WALLS BUT NOT SINK INTO THE EARTH?
2016 Dec 17 from Jerry Hewes
Ed, regarding your editorial, YOU CANNOT PROVE THERE ARE NO GHOSTS –
My neighbor and I were discussing this partly because he believes ghosts are real, having seen his dead Dad in an episode. I questioned the ghost’s purpose. No response. Thinking now I ask, what do ghosts stand on? How do they know when or how to stand on ground (which means they have mass) and when or how to pass through walls? However his ghost was seen to maneuver around a truck which he could just pass through. Well, on and on the blather could flow. Excellent post today. It reveals how thoroughly ghost technology has entered our new media.

Don’t get mad, Mr. Putin. It’s just our little game.
Don’t get mad, Mr. Putin. It’s just our little game.
The news this week, about President Obama ordering 35 Russian staff members to leave the country in retaliation for allegedly hacking emails of DNC leaders, sent my memory reeling back to a conversations I had in 1985 with Yuri Bezmenov, a defector from the Soviet KGB. Yuri’s specialty was propaganda and weaponized journalism. He also was a skilled operative in the diplomatic corps.
I learned a lot from Yuri about how governments function at the diplomatic level, but the thing that impressed me most was that political diplomacy is a game played by professionals who follow a strict set of rules. One of those rules is that it is assumed that each diplomat is always lying. Furthermore, one should not take offense at that. It’s merely part of the job, and all the players respect that rule without taking it personally.
Yuri explained to me that, during the Cold War, in order to look good to the people or to cover up some corruption that came to light, political leaders on both sides would find it useful to make a big show of expelling from their country a few members of each other’s diplomatic corps. But it was just a game that the professionals understood. In most cases, those who were expelled soon were replaced by others with the same assignments or, in some cases, they quietly returned to their original posts after a short sabbatical.
(My recorded interview of Bezmenov is shown above. He does not discuss this specific issue in the interview but goes into great detail on how he hoodwinkied journalists and diplomats who visited the Soviet Union. Fascinating stuff.)
All this came to mind when I heard that Obama had given 35 Russian ‘operatives’ 73-hours to leave the country, because they were suspected of having something to do with hacking the emails of DNC leaders. I couldn’t help but wonder how many of them already had plane reservations to Moscow to arrive for a New Year’s celebration with family and friends.
Finally, I began to wonder when Russia, China, Germany, the UK, France, and other countries will send American ‘operatives’ home for hacking emails, phone calls, text messages, bank records, and travel records of the leaders of those countries. Of one thing I am certain, if it does happen, no one will take it personally. It’s just part of the game.

FEATURED NEWS STORIES
Obama placed sanctions against six Russian officials and the FSB (the Russian security agency) for allegedly meddling in the US presidential election. The US State Department has given 35 Russian intelligence operatives 72 hours to leave the US. [Neither Obama nor any US intelligence agency has offered evidence to support the claim of Russian interference in the elections. [However, the more Obama and the leftist Establishment make statements like this, and the more the Establishment media reports on those statements without questioning their basis, the more the American people tend to believe Russian meddling must be a fact.] NewsBeat Social 2016 Dec 29 (Story)

Talk about fake news! US intelligence officials have advanced a conspiracy theory, with zero evidence, of how Russia might have hacked into Democrat Party computers. [The theorists even created code names for the theoretical hacking units to make them sound authentic. Finally, they gave the theoretical operation the name, Grizzly Steppe. This made it appear that this was a real operation that had been discovered. But all of it is made up for political purposes. Notice how uncritically CBS writers and journalists report the story as though it is proven fact.] CBS News 2016 Dec 29 (Story)

North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has executed 340 people since he took office in 2011, and 140 of those were senior officials and advisors.

Obama turned 1.65 million acres of land in Utah and Nevada into National-Monument status thereby making them off limits to any development or useful purpose, including mining, oil extraction, and building.

Obama declared that the land which includes the Clive Bundy Ranch now is a national monument.

Finland is running an experiment on ‘Universal Basic Income’ by selecting 2,000 unemployed citizens who will receive $600 per month, no strings attached, for two years.

Syria: US-backed rebels control the Ein al Fija spring that supplies 65% of the water for Damascus. Previously, the rebels threatened to cut off the supply by blowing up the channels through which it is delivered. Now, the Syrian Government itself had to cut off delivery, because it was discovered that the water had been contaminated with diesel fuel, leaving citizens without water for days. Western media is blaming the Syrian government for bombing the spring, but there is no evidence (or logic) to support that claim. These video clips of government trucks delivering emergency water to its citizens tell the story. RT 2016 Dec 28 (Story)
Hawaii: Trump supporters are called Nazis and banned from eating at Honolulu’s Café 8 ½.

Obama signed the military-spending bill for 2017 that authorizes arming Syrian rebels with shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles. The obvious use for these at present is to shoot down Russian jets that are attacking ISIS and other so-called rebels in Syria. Russia says it is “a hostile act”, but the US says the weapons will be given only to Kurds who are fighting ISIS. There is no reason to believe that, given present US hostility to Russia’s involvement in Syria and the fact that previous shipments of US arms have landed in the hands of extremist organizations, including the al-Qaida-affiliated Nusra front.

This video segment from the 1981 police sit-com, Barney Miller, qualifies as a pretty good description of the Trilateral Commission.

Obama quietly signed the ‘Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act’ into law. Late Friday night, while most Americans were distracted by the Christmas holiday, Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which authorizes $611-billion for the military in 2017. Buried inside that bill, the ‘Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act’, also was activated, which sets the stage for shutting down websites that do not follow the government line. The law will create the equivalent of an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth’ to create so-called ‘fact-based’ narratives that no one will be allowed to question. ZeroHedge 2016 Dec 26 (Story) (Cached)

Then he tried to pass his remarks off as satire. Information Liberation 2016 Dec 26 (Story) (Cached)
Israel is accusing Obama of orchestrating the anti-settlement resolution at the UN last week. Netanyahu is afraid that Obama will set parameters for a Palestinian state in the next three weeks and is hoping to persuade President-Elect Trump to “economically hurt” those countries that voted against Israel in the UN and that may do so in the future. Trump’s response will be an indicator of his resolve to make America Great again. Times of Israel 2016 Dec 26 (Story) (Cached)
Pakistan’s defense minister threatened to retaliate in kind to any Israeli nuclear strike after allegedly being tricked by a ‘fake news site’. AWDNews reported that Israel threatened to destroy Pakistan with a nuclear attack if it send ground troops to Syria. A confrontation on social media ensued, and then Israel denied making the threat. The media accepted Israel’s denial and blamed the whole thing on ‘fake news’ which added great credibility to the latest drive to censor all news sources and social media. [How convenient.] AFP 2016 Dec 25 (Story) (Cached)
Obama has removed the word ‘limited’ from US nuclear policy, which is being interpreted as taking a more aggressive posture against Russia and China. There is no doubt, however, that this signals a step up in military spending on a Star Wars system that leading defense scientists characterize as a fantasy. If they are right, this is just another huge boondoggle for the Military-Industrial Complex. ZeroHedge 2016 Dec 24 (Story) (Cached)
Goldman-Sachs was found guilty of rigging interest rates and manipulating the value of the dollar to gain illegal profits. No one went to prison, and the fine of $120 million, paid by its stockholders, not its crooked executives, was a small price to pay for the billions it made from the crime. The government’s pretense at punishment is an incentive to continue cheating. Free Thought Project 2016 Dec 24 (Story) (Cached)

Ben Swann proves that the US-backed ‘moderate rebels’ in Syria actually are jihadists in ISIS or al-Qaeda. In 2015, $500-million in US funds was spent supposedly to train thousands of so-called moderate rebels, but the number that actually completed the training was no more than five soldiers! There are no moderate rebels in Syria, and the US sent 3,000 tons of weapons there in 2016 in support of jihadists and terrorists. The goal is, not to protect or free the people of Syria, but to enslave them as necessary to make Syria yet another puppet state of the Western Establishment. Ben Swann 2016 Dec 28 (Story)

FACEBOOK COMMENTS ON WIGINGTON
Posted 2016 Dec 28
Jim Kerr: You just struck a nerve with me regarding Dane Wigington. I don’t comment much any longer on this subject but here goes. Several years ago, at DW’s request, I sent him numerous video clips I filmed over the Antelope Valley Ca. connecting the dots to the Naval Research Labs publicized testing of Plasma Cloud using an Ionospheric heater located at the China Lake Naval Station. The footage also showed how the plasma cloud could be manipulated by injecting the cloud with chemtrails. I did get a response from DW but, in essence, he labeled me as a nut job.
Betty Kelley: I was a friend with Dane, speaking on the phone with him many times and also on FB, but he unfriended me some time ago for speaking the truth. This hurts, not just me, but all of us. Truthfully, no one loves this world more than I do. I have always spent much of my time in and connected to the natural world–which is why I know in my head and heart as well as much research that this is all geoengineered. I saw it immediately many years ago. I have studied weather and used all the weather maps for 20 plus years as well as lovingly observing my skies all my life due to being outdoors, a painter of skies and landscapes as well as a biologist by profession.
Supporting the global warming meme/hoax is playing right into the hands of this deadly diabolical geoengineering agenda being done for profit and control by the eugenicists/globalists. It is destroying our planet and all life and has completely derailed the earth’s natural systems. Supporting the global warming meme is just what they need and want to continue this control by convincing the public it is “needed”.
Just the fact it is being “pushed” in all the mainstream media and magazines such as National Geographic which is run by the Council of Foreign Relations —> connected with the UN should say it all.
Sharon Marsh LePere: I’ve wondered for years why DW hasn’t joined forces with our other very knowledgable activists. Wouldn’t that be the thing to do? There are many differences of opinion on the details of GeoEngineering, many views of the whys and wherefores, and others discuss it and try to seek the truth. He will not do this He will just get rid of you. We need to unite, but that won’t happen with DW.
Look at what he is doing to Edward Griffin. He will try to destroy your reputation, this is not the first time. We need the truth in order to get anywhere. Griffin has asked for a debate, that would be the proper thing to do if you truly care about this most serious issue. Who would turn down that offer? That chance to prove their theory? Only someone who can’t.
WIGINGTON NON RESPONSIVE TO CRITIQUE
posted 2016 Dec 28 from Brent Crowder
Dear Mr. Griffin,
I applaud your effort to expose Mr. Wigington for his willingness to use unethical means to accomplish his desired results. In May of 2015, I attempted to convince Wigginton that he should stop using false premises to support his anti-geoengineering campaign. His lack of response was disappointing. Such lack of response to well intended comments to ensure he bases his conclusions on truthful premises is unfortunately consistent with your negative experience with him.
