Raw Foodists Arrested for Trafficking Chocolate; Interrogated for "Cacao Crimes"

http://www.naturalnews.com/024304.html

(NaturalNews) When Ron and Nadine from the Living Libations beauty care and chocolate company (www.LivingLibations.com) attempted to fly to the United States in August of this year, they ran into something completely unexpected: Drug-sniffing dogs at the Toronto airport. When their dogs took a special interest in their raw, unrefined chocolate with hemp seeds and superfood extracts, they were arrested, handcuffed and put through hours of tortuous interrogation. Such begins the journey of Ron and Nadine, the chocolate freedom fighters from Canada.

Accused of trafficking two and a half pounds of hashish (which was really just raw, homemade chocolate), Ron and Nadine were arrested, physically separated into interrogation rooms and handcuffed to chairs. Their six-month old baby was forcibly taken from them, and they were immediately subjected to intense interrogation.

Their chocolate looked suspicious, they were told, because it wasn't in a commercial wrapper. If it's not Hershey's, it must be drugs! An on-the-spot drug test from the NIK company (which makes portable drug testing kits) returned a positive result, the Canadian police claimed, and that's all the evidence they need to arrest anyone.

As you'll learn later, however, it turns out the NIK drug testing kits return false positives nearly 100% of the time if the results are interpreted incorrectly, as they were in this case... (see photos below).

Is this Canada, or Gitmo?

Emboldened by the positive drug test on the two pounds of raw chocolate, Canadian drug agents scrambled to action. They hadn't seen a big drug bust in a long time, and excitement was brewing over the possibility of nabbing someone with a whopping two pounds of hashish! Thus, the tyrants of law enforcement went to work on Ron and Nadine, using Guantanamo Bay tactics to try to force them to admit to being hashish drug traffickers.

Over the next several hours, Ron and Nadine were interrogated by the Canadian equivalent of FBI agents who verbally assaulted them using every lying, deceitful police interrogation tactic in the book. They screamed at Ron and Nadine, threatened them with years in prison and even told each of them that the other had already confessed to drug trafficking, trying to trick them into admitting to crimes they never committed. (There is no law that says police have to tell the truth when they are interrogating you, even for false arrest, by the way.)

Through the entire episode, Ron and Nadine resisted the tactics, held their ground and continued to hold positive intentions. "As I was sitting in the cell," Ron told NaturalNews, "I kept focused on light and truth. I felt like no matter what was happening around me, I was opening up a gateway of light and total truth."

After the interrogation, the threats of "life in jail" and other dishonest tactics used by law enforcement to try to get them to "admit" to drug trafficking, they were finally released on bail. Their baby son was returned to them, and they went home. For the next 30 days, they were subjected to surprise visits by Children's Aid employees (the Canadian version of Child Protective Services), who were told by law enforcement authorities that Ron and Nadine were drug smugglers.

Over this 30 day period, as felony drug trafficking charges were pending against them, Ron and Nadine managed to connect with legal help. Their lawyer, Marcy Segal, was able to persuade the Crown Attorney to send the chocolate "hashish" sample to a proper lab for testing. And wouldn't you know it: The test showed that chocolate is chocolate, not hashish.

The charges were dropped, but no apology was ever offered to the couple. Instead, Canadian law enforcement authorities declared, "You must have been smoking something before you came to the airport."

(No doubt someone in this story was on crack, but it doesn't seem to be Ron and Nadine...)

NaturalNews has acquired the actual document delivered to law enforcement official in Toronto, declaring there to be absolutely no drugs in Ron and Nadine's possession. You can view the PDF of this document here:

http://www.naturalnews.com/investigatio...

Let's try this again

Following their being cleared by the lab tests, they were determined to return to the United States and attend the Raw Spirit Festival in Sedona Arizona. Their lawyer had contacted U.S. authorities in advance, advising them that Ron and Nadine were bringing chocolate through their security checkpoints as they crossed from Canada to the United States. "Watch out, it's chocolate!"

They were told everything was understood, and the chocolate would be allowed through. Imagine their surprise, however, when Ron and Nadine were once against arrested at the airport and accused of -- guess what? -- smuggling hashish disguised as chocolate!

U.S. law enforcement authorities boost their careers when they take part in big drug busts, and 2.5 pounds of hashish was a huge bust by anyone's accounting. So they had every incentive to try to make this bust stick.

Desperate to prove themselves right, the American drug enforcement police ripped though Ron and Nadine's luggage and clothing, opening every vial, asking questions about all the "strange" things they found there.

What kind of strange things? Sea salt. Zeolites. Tea tree oil. Essential oils. Hemp seeds. Probiotics. Raw cacao nibs. You know, dangerous superfoods and supplements.

They were questioned at great length about all these "strange" substances. Apparently, law enforcement personnel have actually never seen superfoods! Subsisting on a diet of processed foods and diet soda, they apparently believe real food is a foreign substance... a criminal substance, in fact. It is a strange world, indeed, when those who claim to uphold the laws of the land have zero familiarity with food harvested from the land...

The field kit drug tests produce false positives!

So why did the NIK drug test reveal a positive result when the cacao was tested?

To answer that question, NaturalNews purchased a portable narcotics drug test kit from CopQuest.com, an online supply source for law enforcement. The product we purchased is the Narcotics Identification System, part # 6060. It is manufactured by NIK Public Safety, Inc. in Jacksonville, FL.

The test we used is test "E" -- which claims to offer "presumptive identifications of Marijuana, Hashish, Hash Oil and THC."

According to the instructions, the test reveals a "positive" for Marijuana (or the other substances listed) when it turns purple. As is stated on the NIK Instructions for Use, step 5:

"5. Break middle ampoule and agitate gently. A blue-violet (or purple) color will develop within a few seconds to a minute if Marijuana, Hashish, Hash Oil or THC is present. Allow sufficient time for the blue-violet (or purple) to develop for a positive test."

Here at NaturalNews, we decided to put it to our own test.

The NaturalNews Drug Labs

Here in our NaturalNews labs, we have hundreds of pounds of Hashish just lying around. Or at least that's what the NIK drug test says. Let me explain:

To test this NIK marijuana kit, I went to my kitchen and grabbed some Amazing Grass Chocolate Superfood (AmazingGrass.com). I thought, if we're testing for grass, why not test amazing grass?



Carefully following the NIK instructions, I prepared test E for marijuana:

I put a small sample of Amazing Grass superfood into the plastic bag, resealed the test kit, then broke the left ampoule as instructed. After shaking for 60 seconds (as instructed), here's what the pouch looked like:



Next, I broke the center ampoule and agitated it gently, just as instructed. To my surprise, the liquid turned a dark blue/green purple color! Here's the picture you can see for yourself:



Now, remember that the test kit says, "A blue-violet (or purple) color will develop within a few seconds to a minute if Marijuana, Hashish, Hash Oil or THC is present. Allow sufficient time for the blue-violet (or purple) to develop for a positive test."

I proceeded with the next step (breaking the right ampoule), and it produced this result (notice the purple color of the liquid at the bottom):



Here's a close-up of the result against a white background, where you can clearly see a purple hue in the top layer of the liquid at the bottom of the pouch:



According to this test, then, I was in possession of Hashish! I guess Amazing Grass really is amazing, huh? It can morph from chocolate to illegal drugs in an instant! (My apologies to Amazing Grass for this demo. Their product contains absolutely no illicit drugs, and in fact, I love their product. Visit them at www.AmazingGrass.com to enjoy their delicious superfood products.)

If this test had been conducted at the border, I could have been arrested, handcuffed to a chair in a jail cell, and subjected to ten hours of interrogation.

That's all it takes, folks: Just one person shaking this plastic test kit and believing he sees a "purple" or "bluish" color. And this is the test the border police are using to arrest raw foodies and charge them with felony crimes! Anything they don't recognize gets put to the NIK test, and just about everything I've found produces a similar result.

Here's another important point: Color is a SUBJECTIVE thing. One person might say it's dark blue, another could say it's brown, and a third could say it's purple. All it takes is one crack-smoking idiot with a badge to utter the word, "purple" and suddenly you're arrested at gunpoint, thrown into a jail cell and interrogated for ten hours. Welcome to the USA!

It is the belief of NaturalNews that the NIK Narcotics Identification products produce false positives or, at the very least, misleading results that are frequently misinterpreted by law enforcement authorities as positives.

NaturalNews has learned that NIK drug tests show positive results for THC for all the following natural substances:

• Organic tea tree oil
• Frankincense oil
• CoQ10
• Raw chocolate

It is important to note that NIK tests carry zero weight in a court of law. But they have the power to arrest, and law enforcement authorities are now openly abusing that power, using these "false positive" to arrest and detain anyone they wish to target (such as raw foodies).

$22,000 in legal bills and growing

After being charged with felony crimes, accused of trafficking illegal drugs, interrogated, isolated from his family and denied the right to travel as a free citizen, Ron Obadia is now facing over $22,000 in legal bills.

Even after the real drug test conclusively proved there were NO drugs in the raw chocolate, there was no apology from Canadian law enforcement officials. No offer to reimburse Ron and Nadine for their legal expenses. They were simply let go and told to go home. Charges are still pending from the American side (they were about to board an international flight), and it may require another $10,000 in legal bills just to clear their names in America.

As a result, Ron and Nadine are virtual prisoners in their own country. Accused of crimes they did not commit, these raw foodies only committed the "crime" of daring to carry real food that wasn't packaged in a brand-name wrapper.

At one point, one of the police officers screamed at Ron, saying, "If you wanted chocolate, why didn't you just buy a Snickers bar!" The proper answer to that question, of course, is so far beyond the intellect of typical law enforcement personnel that I won't even bother explaining it here. To these cops, Burger King is fine cuisine, candy bars are superfoods and hashish is anything that looks brown and unusual.

Ran and Nadine were never able to attend the Raw Spirit Festival. They spent the day being interrogated for crimes they did not commit.

Why the War on Drugs is out of control

What Ron and Nadine experienced here is just one symptom of a War on Drugs that's utterly out of control. While completely ignoring the real drug dealers (Big Pharma and psychiatrists who put kids on amphetamines), tyrannical law enforcement personnel target innocent natural health advocates who refuse to eat Snickers bars and Big Macs.

Carrying "unusual" food with you at the airport is now a crime that can get you thrown in jail and cost you $20,000 or more in legal bills. And that's when you're innocent!

The War on Drugs has done virtually nothing to stem the tide of illegal street drugs, but it's sure given lots of money and power to another group: The DEA and other drug enforcement tyrants whose careers (and paychecks) depend on continuing their politically-motivated crusade against innocents.

Marijuana arrests are out of control, with nearly 8 million Americans having been arrested for pot possession over the last decade (http://www.projectcensored.org/top-stor...). Meanwhile, the U.S. spends between $10 and $12 billion a year enforcing those laws, and that doesn't count the exploding prison population, where now an astonishing 11 percent of all black men between the ages of 30 and 34 are in prison. (http://www.hrw.org/english/docs/2008/06...)

A startling 2.3 million Americans are sitting in prison cells right now, and many are there for victimless crimes such as smoking marijuana. And yet, amazingly, powerful institutions in society directly promote highly addictive drugs to virtually everyone:

• Daily caffeine through coffee and energy drinks for teens
• "Speed" amphetamines for children diagnosed with ADHD
• Highly addictive painkillers like Oxycotin, which are now openly abused by teens
• Over-the-counter cold medicines, now widely used to manufacture meth (crank, ice, etc.)

The real point to all of this, of course, is not to stop Americans from using drugs; it's to force Americans to use patented drugs that earn profits for powerful corporations. The job of the DEA is primarily to eliminate Big Pharma's competition by criminalizing non-patented drugs while protecting patented ones.

In order to concentrate power into their own hands, they must create fear and terrorize the population, which is why the DEA keeps raiding California medical marijuana clinics, by the way... even though they are legal in the State of California!

Who are the real criminals?

The real criminals in society today are not the lazy pot heads toking up a joint in the basement. The real criminals are those who terrorize us, take away our freedoms and steal our money while bailing out the rich. And guess who does all three? Your government, of course!

Ron and Nadine are unwittingly playing a Ghandi-like role in this grand governmental comedy. By perservering their arrest and interrogation and proving their obvious innocence in the face of outrageous stupidity, they bring focus to the idiocy of modern law enforcement and the real threat posed to innocents by our nation's ill-fated War on Drugs.

Real power comes from health and wisdom, and yet the people running our governments today have neither; so they must fabricate false power through the use of firearms, fear and intimidation. These are the weapons of the weak, and they will ultimately fall to the strength and courage of enlightened, health-infused individuals like Ron and Nadine from Living Libations.

Because when this whole grand house of cards comes crashing down, with systemic financial collapse, crop failures, water depletion, and infectious disease, all those parasitic employees of the federal government are going to find themselves utterly incapable of surviving in the real world. Without their diabetes meds, diet sodas and processed junk foods, they will quickly find themselves irrelevant to life on Earth, swept under the carpet of life like the dust from which they came.

Those who are too stupid to recognize real food are ultimately doomed to become food. For the worms, that is.

Reporter Warns Staged Financial Crisis Part Of Fascist Coup

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/larisa-alexandrovna/welcome-to-the-final-stag_b_127990.html

UPDATES AT BOTTOM

If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it. ~ Julius Caesar

In 2000, the long fought for and long admired democracy of the United States of America began a slow and steady decline toward fascism - a Bush family tradition - with the installment of a president - a man the citizens overwhelmingly rejected (although the funny math told a still believed myth) - by a few corrupt judges on the US Supreme Court. That coup is now nearly complete and checkmate is all but unavoidable.

Let me first point you to the Bush administration's so-called Wall Street bailout bill, here, so that you can see for yourself that this treachery is being conducted in the light of day. Fascism is finally and formally out of the right-wing closet even if the F word is not yet openly being used (although it should be, and often).

Now, if you do not yet understand that the Wall Street crisis is a man-made disaster done through intentional deregulation and corruption, I have a bridge in Alaska to sell to you (or Sara Palin does anyway). This manufactured crisis is now to be remedied, if the fiscal fascists get their way, with the total transfer of Congressional powers (the few that still remain) to the Executive Branch and the total transfer of public funds into corporate (via government as intermediary) hands.

Adam Davidson of NPR blogs about the so-called bailout bill as follows:

I would guess that this has to be one of the biggest peacetime transfers of power from Congress to the Administration in history. (Anyone know?). Certainly one of the most concise.

The Treasury Secretary can buy broadly defined assets, on any terms he wants, he can hire anyone he wants to do it and can appoint private sector companies as financial deputies of the US government. And he can write whatever regulation he thinks are needed.

Most importantly, Davidson points to this passage in the bill:

Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency.

The Bush family, in the form of Prescott Bush, has tried a more aggressive coup before in order to install fascism in this country. This treasonous plot was called "the Business Plot," because the high-level plotters - including Prescott Bush - were Wall Street men who openly supported fascism.

It seems this time around, the Bush family is trying the more subtle approach to open bloodshed: first create a crisis, then under the guise of addressing that crisis, overthrow democracy. Yes, it does sound terribly conspiracy-theory-esque when explained just this way. But what else does one call a criminal conspiracy to destroy Congressional powers permanently, alter Judicial powers permanently, and steal public funds?

As I see it now, we have but two options and I have long alluded to hoping against hope that one of these options would not be the only one left to a peaceful people. The first and frankly most preferable option is for Congress to immediately begin impeachment proceedings against the members of this latest Business Plot.

No time needs to be wasted on hearings as we already now have in writing, formally as presented to Congress, the intentions of this administration to nullify Congressional powers permanently, to alter Judicial powers permanently, and to openly steal public funds using as blackmail the total collapse of the US economy if these powers are not handed over. You do see how this is blackmail, do you not? You do see how this is a manufactured crisis precisely designed to be used as blackmail, do you not?

The other option, the one I have long prayed we would never need to even consider, is a total revolution. But, If Congress won't act in its own self-defense, in the defense of democracy, in defense of us - the people who have elected them to protect us from this very danger - then what is left for us to do? I don't want to see it come down to this, but I fear that it will. Put your party politics aside right now. We are in a crisis so dangerous that should these people succeed in their coup, your party affiliation will no longer matter, your American flag will be a nice collectible item of something that once was, and your version of God will be worshiped in secrecy because your freedoms will be owned by the few.

You are no longer Republicans, Democrats, or any shade of voter. You do not live in a swing state or a solid colored state. You are simply this: an American. That is the only side that matters. So call your members of Congress and demand, no, declare that unless they do their duty to the Constitution and to us, we will move to the streets - not because we want to, but because our founding fathers demanded this duty of each and every citizen in the face of such a domestic enemy. Demand - as is your right - that this bill be voted against and demand - as is your right - that the people plotting this treachery be held to account. We are either a nation of laws or we are no longer a democracy. Pick a side, because there won't be another time, another moment, another chance to be a patriot.

UPDATE

You guys have to read this, the guy is near ready to call 911 and report me to the secret police for daring to suggest that I fear that there may be a revolution and want everyone to contact Congress and demand no passage of the Coup Wall Street bill (oh, and did I mention that he calls himself the Confederate Yankee?)

"I can only hope the lawful authorities are monitoring such enticements towards insurrection with all due seriousness, and find a nice, well-lit and cheery cell for those who require one."

Enticements? I did not realize I was standing on a street- corner pulling on my fishnet stockings in hopes of starting a revolt. Now let us examine what I actually wrote - I will bold the key points:

As I see it now, we have but two options and I have long alluded to hoping against hope that one of these options would not be the only one left to a peaceful people. The first and frankly most preferable option is for Congress to immediately begin impeachment proceedings against the members of this latest Business Plot.

No time needs to be wasted on hearings as we already now have in writing, formally as presented to Congress, the intentions of this administration to nullify Congressional powers permanently, to alter Judicial powers permanently, and to openly steal public funds using as blackmail the total collapse of the US economy if these powers are not handed over. You do see how this is blackmail, do you not? You do see how this is a manufactured crisis precisely designed to be used as blackmail, do you not?

The other option, the one I have long prayed we would never need to even consider, is a total revolution. But, If Congress won't act in its own self-defense, in the defense of democracy, in defense of us - the people who have elected them to protect us from this very danger - then what is left for us to do? I don't want to see it come down to this, but I fear that it will.

Hmmm, sounds like a massive terrorist plot, right? Oh, and don't forget to contact your members of Congress. Seriously, is this guy taking heroin with his coffee? Which part of "I hope against hope" and "I fear" is an enticement for anything that would require me to be arrested and put in jail? Freedom of speech, a no-no in Confederate Americana. Stop by and tell this guy what you think of his hopes that I end up in prison.

UPDATE 2

Another kook joins the distortion train and swift-boat party. This one is actually now claiming that I am calling for an insurrection (wow, in a few hours they will be claiming that I armed the rebels, and charging the Bastille). And if you read the comments section of this blog, you will find yet more examples of rabid xenophobia and bigotry.

And yet even more stunning? Not a one of them can seem to find the time to react to the unlimited power the Executive Branch is demanding. Perhaps they are too busy eating their racist Obama waffles?

On a side note, please use the phrase "insurrection in bed" in every comment since the right wing requires a distraction, even an imaginary one.

UPDATE 3

I have gotten some emails where people appear confused by my use of the Caesar quote. Just to clarify, this is in reference to Bush as Caesar, not my support of Caesar. This is in reference to the massive Bush power grab buried in the bailout "coup" bill. Sorry for any confusion.;)

No blank check for Wall Street.

Dear Friends,

Congress is on the brink of making a one-sided deal to give George W. Bush a blank check to bail out his pals - offering nearly (or perhaps more than) a trillion taxpayer dollars to Wall Street to cover its bad debts. That works out to somewhere between $2000 and $5000 from every American family. So what do the taxpayers get in return?

Nothing. No new regulation or oversight to help avoid this kind of crisis in the future. No public interest givebacks to help people whose homes are in the hands of the banks. Perhaps most shockingly of all, the taxpayers get absolutely no share in the profits if and when these finance giants bounce back, even though we are now assuming a great deal of the risk.

This is worse than a bad deal - this isn't a deal at all. This is a blank check to some of the richest companies in the world.

I just signed a petition calling on key members of Congress to impose a few sensible conditions to this bailout in order to protect the American people -- I hope you will too.

Please have a look and take action.

Half a Trillion Bailout For The Creators of the Market Crisis

http://www.infowars.com/?p=4726

Bob Chapman
The International Forecaster
September 21, 2008

US Mortgage bailout at half a trillion, Loss of confidence means end of credibility in the markets. Phony wars, phony values in real estate will cost all of you, financial companies bought out, power consolidated in financial markets, Gold on the rise, stock markets as volatile as a drunken sailor, why are the markets rallying after the big bailout

We recoil in disgust at the way these arrogant sociopaths, the henchmen of the Illuminati at the Fed and in our Treasury Department, led by Bernanke and Paulson, respectively, are taking the toxic waste losses of the Wall Street fraudsters and dumping them on the taxpayer sheople, while short-squeezing savvy investors by selectively prohibiting and prosecuting shorts of any kind for the stocks of about 800 financial institutions through early October, which all deserve to be shorted. Between the Byzantine dollar rally, the Saudi crude oil assassination, the peppering of precious metals by pernicious paper-hangers (wasn’t Adolf Hitler a paper-hanger at one time?) and the short-squeeze on financials, we wonder how many more hedge funds are going to go under, and take everyone else with them in the process, as Lehman gets cannibalized just in time to rack up mark-to-market losses for the sheople to eat in the latest bailout bonanza for the fraudsters, soon to be revealed as the Resolution Trust Company II solution?

Bailing out the toxic mortgages found among the half of US real estate mortgages held or guaranteed by Phonie and Fraudie, some 5+ trillion worth, was not enough for them. Now, they want to pawn the rest of the toxins from the other half of US mortgages, which they estimate will be about a half a trillion. Gee, didn’t they tell us the Iran War would cost 60 to 200 billion, only to find out later that when you add in future costs for veteran’s disabilities and pensions, the cost could top 3 trillion? And didn’t Bernanke tell us that the fallout from the subprime situation was contained? Of course, that was before we saw fraudsters around the world eat $350 billion and counting. And didn’t all the fraudster CEO’s keep telling us that their walking dead zombie companies were sound and liquid right up to the time that their shareholders got vaporized? Aren’t you starting to get a little tired of all the lies? Can we trust even a single word spoken by anyone from Wall Street, the Fed or our "beloved" Treasury Department anymore? The Street, the Fed and our government now have ZERO credibility. This loss of confidence is going to take the markets down no matter what these reprobate and sociopath elitists do.

You will eat multiple trillions of dollars from each of the following: (1) The phony War on Terror; (2) the loss in real estate values caused by record inventories that will be created by defaults and foreclosures resulting from rampant unemployment, loan fraud, over-leveraged consumers and ARM and Option ARM resets; (3) the combined bailout of Fannie’s and Freddie’s share of the toxic waste contained in the approximately half of all US mortgages which these cess pools have made or insured, plus the losses from the Resolution Trust Company II bailout of the toxic waste from the remaining half of US mortgages; (4) the shortage in the FDIC’s insurance reserves that will be generated by losses incurred on account of what will be anywhere from 1,000 bank failures, as suggested by billionaire Wilber Ross, to perhaps as many as half of all banks in the US, as recently suggested by Ken Lewis, CEO of Bank of America; (5) the PBGC’s funding shortage to cover losses suffered by pension plan beneficiaries on account of pension under-funding caused by what will be the loss of as much as half of the value of all US equity shares; (6) the bailouts likely to occur when the credit default swaps and interest rate swaps, along with the entire bond market, go under in what will be the greatest bear market of all time in both bonds and derivatives, which are guaranteed to occur based on the hyperinflation that will be caused by all the other bailouts just listed, as well as by our continually burgeoning budget and trade deficits, the resulting double digit interest rates which will become necessary in order to combat inflation and to properly reward risks, which are about to escalate in astronomical fashion, and to attract foreign investment, which will soon drop to nil based on negative rates of return; (7) the loss in purchasing power due to hyperinflation generated by 1 through 6 above; and (8) the new wars for profit that will be started in order to restart our vaporized economy in the wake of the death and destruction caused by 1 through 7, above, and you can also add in the costs associated with potential social unrest and revolution that are almost certain to occur. When number 6 above comes to fruition, the entire world economy will implode and go into deep depression. None will escape the coming juggernaut of losses when the glowing, quadrillion dollar Derivative Death-Star goes supernova. The entire world economy will get sucked into the resulting financial black hole.

The Resolution Trust Company II will be rammed down the throats of Congress, just like (1) the Federal Reserve Act that has been used to inflate the middle class out of its wealth by imposing a stealth tax which is used to fund profligate government spending and enrich private banker’s with their debt-based fractional reserve system of banking; (2) the passage of the US Income Tax, which is used to enslave and impoverish US citizens and to ensure payment of the US Treasury’s debt to the Federal Reserve on its treasury paper; (3) the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act by the Gramm, Leach, Bliley Act, which is what paved the way for the speculation, fraud and conflicts of interest that always arise when commercial banks and investment banks are allowed to be merged under one entity, as we just saw happen with Bank of America when it bought out Merrill Lynch, and this poisonous piece of legislation is what allowed the Illuminist bankers to pawn off the toxic waste which their investment banking division created for its investment banking clients, after getting fraudulent AAA ratings from the ratings agencies, on their hapless, sucker-dupe commercial banking clients; (4) the passage of the toxic Commodity Futures Modernization Act, which freed the then fledgling OTC derivatives market, including credit default swaps and interest rate swaps, from the regulatory power of both the SEC or the CFTC, leading to an out-of-control, unregulated, under-collateralized, quadrillion dollar volcano of smoldering, molten risk that no one understands in terms of its scope, its interrelationships and its counterparty risks, and now these financial weapons of mass destruction threaten the worldwide financial system; (5) the passage of the Iran War resolution based on Bush Administration lies regarding Saddam Hussein’s supposed weapons of mass destruction and involvement in 911, which has led us into yet another bloody war for profit under the guise of security, democracy and freedom, and which has resulted in the killing of millions of Iraqi civilians and thousands of our soldiers (move over Hitler, Mao and Stalin, the Illuminati and their neocon henchmen are just getting warmed up as they take their shenanigans to the Balkans); (6) the approval of both Patriot Acts to help us fight the evil Osama Bin Laden and the phony "War on Terror" while dismantling our Constitutional rights; (7) the approval of the Military Commissions Act which makes all dissenters into "enemy combatants" and takes away their right to habeas corpus; (8) the passage of the John W. Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2006, which repeals Posse Comitatus, meaning that our military forces can now be used against our own citizens for the first time in our history, and contrary to our Constitution; and (9) the Fannie and Freddie bailout, which was just authorized so the fraudsters can dump their slime on taxpayers in a futile attempt to save their precious system of Ponzi-schemes and insider trading which is becoming unraveled right before their eyes. This is why all incumbents, except for Ron Paul, must be voted out in November.

The House Finance Committee, headed by Rep. Barney Frank, and the Senate Finance Committee, headed by Sen. Christopher Dodd, will give it their usual Boo-Boo, response: "I don’t know, Yogi," in order to give the clueless sheople the appearance that they are going to protect taxpayers from the slimy bankers, when the reality is, it is already a done deal and has been planned long in advance, probably for many months, if not years, just like the Patriot Acts. What you are seeing happen right before your eyes is the revenge of the Illuminati for the passage of the Glass-Steagall Act. Not only have they repealed that act, but now they have reverted our system back to the way it was when the Stock Market Crash of 1929 occurred. This is why Bank of America jumped all over Merrill Lynch, and why you are hearing continual overtures for Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to do the same, with claims that their business models are flawed. The fane-stream media now tells us that we need such combinations to give our financial institutions greater strength and staying power in the face of a crisis, when it is such combinations that are responsible for creating the crisis in the first place. This is the classic Hegelian Dialectic on steroids: first create the crisis, and then propose the predetermined solutions, stuffing them down everyone’s throats, if necessary. If you want to see institutions that will automatically be deemed to be too big to fail the next time they defraud the public, just check out the gargantuan financial behemoths that will emerge out of the current crisis!

Note how this was all set up. First, all the legislation was put into place. Then the system is brought into a crisis situation, which was easily accomplished through deregulation, in order to propel us into a situation where the Illuminists are allowed to consolidate their power with the full blessing of the dopey sheople. Note how Bear Stearns was assassinated just before the Fed opened up its Primary Dealer Credit Facility and its Term Securities Lending Facility, which could have saved BS. They arranged to have BS’s clients abandon them and withdrew BS liquidity and credit, and down they went, payback for not helping in the LTCM bailout and for not joining the Illuminist club. Then they string out all the other big commercial and investment banks, to see which ones would turn out to be the keepers, because the carnage was so bad and so widely spread that no one could tell which of the big commercial and investment banks might survive, if any. They needed time to figure out who the survivors would be. Hence, all the desperate bailouts dripping with moral hazard were made to keep them all afloat while they were attempting to make this determination. They decide to let Lehman fail because their condition is irredeemable and it looks like criminal charges may come up at some point due to shenanigans that management committed against their employee’s pension money, making them a hot potato. They pair up Bank of America with Merrill Lynch, and we see JP Morgan Chase and possibly Wachovia pairing up with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, respectively. Wachovia and Morgan Stanley are already in talks for a merger. AIG is being preserved to see if they can be fit into the consolidation scheme once all their problems have been sorted out.

To support the survivors, they then announce the Resolution Trust Company II bailout, kill all shorting of over 800 financial companies, and then spew out money and credit throughout the international banking system in amounts that are nothing short of spectacular. This is an outrageous, unbelievable, unprecedented consolidation of power, which flies in the face of free markets and paves the way for an ever-burgeoning corporatist, fascist police state. Hanky Panky wants to give the Fed sweeping regulatory power over this new group of behemoths who will control everything, while occasionally allowing crumbs to fall off their table for the little guys to gobble up. And there will be far fewer of the little guys to worry about after the carnage in the banking sector has finally ceased.

This is not a sure thing for them. The fraudsters remaining, even the big guys, could still fail, that is how bad this situation has become. The Illuminati are quaking with terror that they have overdone things and that they could end up destroying the whole system irreparably. That is why we are having all these bailouts stuffed down our throats.

Gold and silver went on a moon shot this week, with gold setting a new all-time record for a one-day increase in value. That is what happens when you keep pressing on the lid of a pressure cooker, trying to keep boiling, molten precious metals from escaping. Aiding gold and silver was the unraveling of longs in the USDX futures market, who were forced to cover because they had pushed the dollar up as far as it could go. Suddenly, the 93,701 contracts of open interest on Tuesday were reduced to 52,872, being cut virtually in half. That means the dollar rally is over and the ever more desperate bailouts are going to undermine confidence in the dollar. Soon, all these trillions in bailouts may lead to a downgrade of our treasuries, as our debt load will soon reach unsustainable levels, no matter how much the PPT tries to manipulate the markets. The stupidest dolt should be able to figure out that much.

The stock markets are shooting up and down with unprecedented volatility, bobbing and weaving like a drunken sailor as the PPT tries to fight the gravity created by the financial black hole created by the collapse of the Bailout Death-Star and the total lack of confidence of market players who are finally starting to realize that CEO’s, Treasury Secretaries and Fed Chairmen are little more than pathological liars, and that the markets are rigged in ways that make China and Russia green with envy. Look at the condition of the Russian and Chinese stock markets, which are being vaporized, compared to ours, which has been placed in a state of suspended animation by the PPT anti-gravity machine. Hey Russia, and China, take some notes. We’ll show you what it means to be a died-in-the-wool Marxist/Communist state! And we lead by example, so pay attention. Remember, the satanic trillionaires that run our command economy from behind the scenes are the ones who set you up and financed you. They are the true masters of Communism and Marxism! You guys are amateurs!!!

Do you really think the markets are rallying because everyone is impressed with the new string of bailouts? All the pros know where this is leading us, and they are de-leveraging. If you want to know why the markets are rallying, besides tens of billions of dollars being unleashed from the repo pool for insidious and in-your-face manipulations, check out the yen. At 9 am on the 16th, it was super yen, at 103.650 yen per dollar and 147.592 yen per euro. Now suddenly, despite the dollar crash, the yen has wimped out, and as of 2:25 pm on Friday, it stood at 107.065 against the dollar, and at 154.653 against the euro. Rally mystery solved. Let’s get ready to rumble!!!

The members of Pink Floyd become prophets for America. Thanks to all the Illuminist lies the sheople have been injected with, the Goldilocks Matrix remains in tact. Yes indeed, you have all become "comfortably numb.

"O.K.
Just a little pinprick.

There’ll be no more aaaaaaaaah! But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up? I do believe it’s working, good. That’ll keep you going through the show

Come on it’s time to go.

There is no pain you are receding

A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.

You are only coming through in waves.

Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re saying.

When I was a child

I caught a fleeting glimpse

Out of the corner of my eye.

I turned to look but it was gone

I cannot put my finger on it now

The child is grown,

The dream is gone.

I have become comfortably numb."

Group: Pink Floyd; Album: The Wall; Song: Comfortably Numb
We hope and pray that the dream is not yet gone, and that Americans get a fleeting glimpse of our former glory and greatness, and that they wake up and stop allowing these scum-bags to have their way with them.

RIP Richard Wright

Understand your enemy and understand the weapons they use so you may then use those same weapons in reverse.


The money system is the head of the snake.


Cut the head off the snake and the rest of it will whither and die.


The time for talk is over and the time has come for action. It is now time for the people of the world to stop complying with the system.


Everyone.


Stop complying with it and you will shut it down. And the best form of non compliance is love. Approach every issue with love.


It is much easier to fight for principles than to live up to them and it takes a far braver man to stand up for what is right and spit in the face of authority than it does to blindly follow orders due to fear of the consequences. Understand that we are all one and the key to real change and unity in this world lies with love.

FTC unleashes campaign of terror against natural cancer cures

NaturalNews Insider Alert (www.NaturalNews.com) newsletter

---

Dear NaturalNews readers,

 

Today the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) launched a campaign of terror against companies selling natural cures for cancer. Using the same tactics as the FDA (fear, intimidation, legal threats, etc.) the FTC is working hard to destroy the businesses of companies offering genuine cancer cures that really work. Companies like MushroomScience.com, for example, are under attack for daring to link to scientific studies about the anti-cancer benefits of Reishi mushrooms, and anyone using the word "cure" on their website is instantly presumed guilty of criminal acts.

 

It's all part of the knowledge cleansing campaign being undertaken by the FTC and FDA to destroy knowledge and keep the population nutritionally illiterate. It's being done, of course, to protect the lucrative profits of the cancer indstry and the drug companies who now seem to control the FTC, FDA and even the DEA.

 

Read my breaking news story on this dangerous development here: http://www.naturalnews.com/024246.html

 

And be sure to share this story with as many people as you can. The entire natural products industry is now threatened by the FTC / FDA mobsters, and if they have their way, ALL natural products companies will be either put out of business or their founders will be arrested and imprisoned. This is a government-sponsored knowledge cleansing of the population, much like a national "mind wipe" effort that hopes to suppress or destroy any memory of the healing power of natural medicine.

 

Dark days are upon us, folks, and the U.S. government is desperately trying to destroy knowledge and censor the truth about cancer cures. We need your help to protect the truth and spread the word about natural cancer cures that really work. Spread the word by sharing these stories and linking to NaturalNews.com so we can educate more readers.

 

Internet Freedom Now Under Assault

 

Speaking of efforts to destroy knowledge, one of the founders of the Internet is now proposing that websites be labeled with "trust ratings" that would destroy the credibility of any "alternative" information websites that argue against things like chemotherapy or mandatory vaccination of children. This censorship effort is described here: http://www.naturalnews.com/024240.html

 

The bottom line in all this is that the institutions of power are declaring war against the Internet, attempting to silence the truth and imprison those who dare speak it. We are in the midst of a battle of truth vs. deceit, knowledge vs. ignorance and health vs. death. The U.S. government and its corporate cronies want you to be trapped in a culture of death, disease and disinformation, and they're pulling out ALL the stops to make sure that happens.

 

It is no coincidence that this is all happening during the global financial meltdown that may ultimately lead to the complete dissolution of the U.S. government (and all its rogue agencies). These actions are the last desperate grunts of a tyrannical police state power that senses its days are numbered...

Pay No Attention to This Day

by Harry Browne

September 17, 2008

This day isn't important.


There are far more significant days in the year:

.
Labor Day, when we pretend to care about other people's jobs while frolicking at the beach.


.
Election Day, when we pretend we're making a difference by voting.


.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and Susan B. Anthony Day, when we pretend to be politically correct.


.
Memorial Day, when we pretend that we live in a free country because of all the people who were killed in the government's senseless wars.


.
Flag Day, when we pretend the government is America.


.
Veterans Day (formerly Armistice Day, when we pretended that World War I made the world safe for democracy).


.
National Teachers Day, when we pretend our children are getting an education.


.
Earth Day, when we pretend that making the government more powerful will make the environment cleaner.


.
United Nations Day, when we pretend to believe all those inane statements about world peace.


Today doesn't seem to come anywhere near those days in importance.


You see, today is supposed to be Constitution Day. And no one really cares about the Constitution anymore.


What It Was

The Constitution was supposed to spell out what government can do and what it can't do. The government's few legal functions are listed in Article 1, Section 8. It was a revolutionary document, in that no government in history had ever had its duties and restrictions so carefully defined.


Despite frequent violations of the Constitution by the government, the document did its job reasonably well for the first hundred years - making America the freest country in history.


As late as 1887, when Congress passed a bill providing federal relief to drought-stricken Texas farmers, Grover Cleveland vetoed it, saying, "I can find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution.
"

But that was about the last gasp for limited, Constitutional government. Because the Constitution wasn't self-enforcing, it depended on the good intentions of politicians - something Thomas Jefferson specifically warned against in 1798 when he said, "In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.
"

Michael Cloud put it more succinctly in recent years: "The problem isn't the abuse of power, it's the power to abuse." So long as the politicians have the power, they'll abuse it. And the Constitution was intended to prevent the politicians from getting the power to abuse.


The Transformation

But by the end of the 1800s, too many Americans had lost their fear of government and politicians. The introduction of government schools had made it almost certain that most children would never learn the importance of binding down government with the chains of the Constitution.


And so government was transformed in the public mind from a necessary-but-dangerous evil into "the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else," as Frederic Bastiat described it.


More and more, the Constitution became a political toy, to be tossed about, invoked, ignored, or misrepresented - whatever suited a given politician's agenda at any given moment.


The income tax amendment in 1913 hammered the final nail into the coffin of limited, constitutional government. Now the politicians had not only the authority, but also the unlimited revenue, to do whatever they wanted. It seems very, very unlikely, for example, that Americans would have been dragged into World War I if the government hadn't had the unlimited revenue to finance it.


Even the Bill of Rights - which eliminates all ambiguity by spelling out specific things the government may not do - was relegated to second place behind the needs of politicians. By the first World War, the Supreme Court had decided that the words "Congress shall make no law . . . " don't really mean that "Congress shall make no law . . . " They mean only that the government must have a "compelling interest" in doing something. Not surprisingly, the government employees on the Court almost always decide that the government does have a compelling interest.


Where Do We Go from Here?

Those conservatives who still care about the Constitution say that it should be taught in the schools. As though government employees will emphasize the original purpose of the Constitution in restraining government.
Instead, they'll give snap quizes on such weighty questions as "How many years in a Senator's term?" or "Who appoints the Supreme Court justices?"

If the American people are to learn the importance of limited, Constitutional government, we have to teach them ourselves.


But people aren't interested in academic lectures on constitutional government. They're far more interested in their own lives - and rightly so.


That's why repealing the federal income tax is our best tool. We can offer them the reward of never paying income tax again in exchange for giving up any unconstitutional federal programs.


The next time you want someone to understand the importance of the Constitution, try approaching him this way . . .


If we repeal the federal income tax and yours is an average American family, you'll have at least $10,000 a year more to spend or invest.
What will you do with that money?

.
Will you put your children in a private school, where they can get whatever kind of education you want for them?

.
Will you help your favorite cause or charity in a way you've never been able to do before?

.
Will you start that business you've always wanted, plan a better retirement, send your children to college?

All you have to do in return is to restrict the government to the Constitution - giving up whatever pittance unconstitutional government provides to you personally.


If you try this, you may be surprised to find that the Constitution isn't such a hard sell after all.


And maybe someday Constitution Day will mean something again

STOP FUNDING THE NEW WORLD ORDER

Re: You Need To Believe Some Of The Things You Read!

Dear Friends,

http://thereikimatrix.blogspot.com/2008/09/you-need-to-believe-some-of-things-you.html

Though I found the message of the above article relevant and important... I most certainly do not support or endorse the writer of the article, David J. Stewart, or his website that is linked in the bottom paragraph: http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/.  I am sorry that I did not Google his name or check those links more carefully before I posted this article.  I am actually very upset about this.

I do not support hypocritical, homophobic Jesus Freaks.  I do not support most organized religions in general.

An it harm none, Do what you will.

Hypocrisy, bigotry and hatred harms everyone.  My experience has been that most members and leaders of organized religions end up there in one way or another.

This guy (at jesus-is-savior.com) fears a police state and then proceeds to judge and endorse dictating everyone's personal business - something that has nothing to do with him.  What exactly does he think a police state is?!?!?  Typical American Christian wants freedom as long as he gets to define what that freedom is and gets to decide what it is for everyone else too.  I guess a police state would be a heck of a lot easier for bigoted, hypocritical, Christians as long as bigoted, hypocritical, Christians get to be the police. (I'm mocking George W Bush's statement, "A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier.  So long as I'm the dictator."  It's still amazing to me that we actually have a president in office that we allowed to get away with saying this.  Not to mention allowing him to get away with saying the constitution is "nothing but a Goddamn piece of paper".  Simply amazing and proves the point.)

I cannot support David J. Stewart just as I do not support Mark Dice of http://www.theresistancemanifesto.com/ who also spreads 911 Truth and resists the New World Order, but also believes that homosexuals have no rights because he "preaches" that they are an abomination to God.  Religion is EVIL.  The majority of Christianity as practiced in this country is EVIL because it promotes division, bigotry and hatred and death.  I do not want the New World Order but I also do not want the world that people like Mark Dice and David J. Stewart want either, which is just as bad.  They are two faces of the same evil.

Stay out of my bedroom and I'll stay out of yours.  As long as I'm not hurting anyone, stay out of my private business and as long as you are not hurting me, anyone else or the planet we share, I'll stay out of yours.  (So many are contributing to the pain of others and the planet and don't even realize it because they are so busy trying to fill their own empty lives with as much cash and material crap as they can that they cannot see what they are doing to the people and environment around them.)  Keep your f*cking ignorant morality and religion of ignorance to your f*cking self!!

I apologize if I offended anyone by posting links to such crap.  I should have followed those links before posting, as I normally do.  I'm sorry if I've offended anyone over anything else.  I'm sure you'll get over it.

I will also say that this will most likely be my last email to anyone receiving this directly.  Unless you are subscribed by email to one of my blogs or you contact me directly (which you are welcome to do) you won't hear from me again, though I may also discontinue my blogs along with my website.  I need to refocus my efforts in a different direction and like the article this email references says:

"The average American citizen is woefully complacent, living comfortably, and could care less what is going on"...

At least until the Police State comes banging down their door to drag them off to a detention camp or their children are forced to take toxic pharmaceuticals or deadly vaccinations or the government or some religion wants to make something their doing in their personal life illegal... then it will be too late.

I will also say that I do not believe that the majority of Americans are "living comfortably", but have been placed in a position of being so busy chasing the ever more and more worthless dollar, just to survive, that they don't have time to look up and question what is going on around them.  I believe this is on purpose.  However, there are also those who are worshiping the almighty dollar (God to many in this country now) and spending all there time chasing after meaningless crap... and then more crap and more crap... beyond what is actually necessary, thinking this will somehow fulfill them that they don't have time for any Truth.  It's all about the brainwashing.  I've seen people who are so desperate for a dollar that they don't care about family, friends or even their own health.  The bottom line is money.  Money has become God.... Why do you think it says "In God We Trust" on our money?  Because that's what they want you to believe... God is Money and Money is all you can trust!  You associate God with money and then you worship money.  It's called brainwashing!

It's time for me and mine to focus on our own survival and stop hoping that America will wake up and stop acting if everything is OK.  Things are clearly NOT OK in America.  If you're not paying serious attention and asking questions at this point, then I'm not sure what it will take.  Perhaps once the chemicals have been ingested for so long and the programming from the media has been entrenched in your brain then there's not much that can be done.... You'll just drink some more fluoride and aspartame, eat some more genetically altered and carcinogenic foods, pop some more pharmaceutical drugs, immerse yourself in mindless television and dream of having lots and lots of money some day while you serve your masters and make them rich.

If there is anyone out there who can help us with information about moving out of the country we would be very grateful to receive it.  We have some special conditions.  We have been branded as HIV positive and we are on disability (for as long as that lasts... the dollar is failing quickly and the powers that be are purposely bankrupting this country) and we have several cats that we will not abandon.  We are looking to move to South America and we are looking specifically at Ecuador, but are definitely open to hearing about other countries.

Good luck.

David
