Highly relavent information about just how the Powers That Be govern over us, and what we can do about it. Also see The Magnificent Deception which is the sequel.
A very informative documentary about the real cause of global warming. It clearly discusses the fact that CO2 is not the cause of global warming. Take a look also at the Great Global Warming Swindle and Green House Conspiracy. This documentary discusses many topics that are not covered in the Swindle such as the hockey stick graph, from the viewpoint of Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas.

Google will have to turn over every record of every video watched by YouTube users, including users' names and IP addresses, to Viacom, which is suing Google for allowing clips of its copyright videos to appear on YouTube, a judge ruled Wednesday.
Viacom wants the data to prove that infringing material is more popular than user-created videos, which could be used to increase Google's liability if it is found guilty of contributory infringement.
Viacom filed suit against Google in March 2007, seeking more than $1 billion in damages for allowing users to upload clips of Viacom's copyright material. Google argues that the law provides a safe harbor for online services so long as they comply with copyright takedown requests.
Although Google argued that turning over the data would invade its users' privacy, the judge's ruling (.pdf) described that argument as "speculative" and ordered Google to turn over the logs on a set of four tera-byte hard drives.
The judge also turned Google's own defense of its data retention policies -- that IP addresses of computers aren't personally revealing in and of themselves, against it to justify the log dump.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has already reacted, calling the order a violation of the Video Privacy Protection act that "threatens to expose deeply private information."
The order also requires Google to turn over copies of all videos that it has taken down for any reason.
Viacom also requested YouTube's source code, the code for identifying repeat copyright infringement uploads, copies of all videos marked private, and Google's advertising database schema.
Those requests were denied in whole, except that Google will have to turn over data about how often each private video has been watched and by how many persons.

OPEC Chief Abdallah el-Badri warns that Iran's oil output would be difficult to replace if an attack took place on the Islamic Republic.
The secretary general of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries told the daily newsletter of the World Petroleum Congress on Thursday: "If something happened in Iran, it would be difficult to replace 4.2 million barrels a day . . . the price (of crude) will go up of course."
Badri's remarks came after Israeli military exercise early in June, which was widely viewed as rehearsal for a potential strike on Iran's nuclear installations.
Oil surged past $145 per barrel for the first time on Thursday due to the depreciating US dollar and tension in the Middle East.
When asked about fears that Iran would close the straits of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf if attacked, he replied that if engaged in a war a country may use any strategy to win.
Hormuz is a key shipping route through which 40 percent of Middle Eastern oil supplies pass.
On Wednesday, the Iranian oil minister warned that a military action against Iran would provoke an unimaginably fierce reaction from the country.
Gholam-Hossein Nozari said that Iran's reaction to any attack on the country would spike oil prices in an already unstable market.
Ron Paul again striking right to the core of global economic problems. No white wash allowed in this interview:

A licence to create human-pig embryos to study heart disease has been issued by the fertility watchdog.
This marks the third animal-human hybrid embryo licence to be issued by Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority and the first since the Commons voted in favour of this controversial research last month.
An HFEA spokesman said it had approved an application from the Clinical Sciences Research Institute, University of Warwick, for the creation of hybrid embryos. The centre has been offered a 12 month licence with effect from today, July 1.
The effort at the University of Warwick is led by Professor Justin St John. "This new license allows us to attempt to make human pig clones to produce embryonic stem cells," he said, where embryonic stem cells are able to turn into the 200 plus types in the body.
"We will take skin cells from patients who have a mutation for certain kinds of heart disease (cardiomyopathy, which makes the heart lose its pumping strength) and put them into pig eggs after their chromosomes have been removed. We will then make embryos so that we can attempt to derive embryonic stem cells which will allow us to study some of the molecular mechanisms associated with these heart diseases.
"Ultimately they will help us to understand where some of the problems associated with these diseases arise and they could also provide models for the pharmaceutical industry to test new drugs. We will effectively be creating and studying these diseases in a dish.
"But it's important to say that we're at the very early stages of this research and it will take a considerable amount of time. There is still a great deal to learn about these techniques and much of our early work will involve understanding how we can make the hybrid cloning process as efficient as possible."
The study is aimed at understanding the way power-producing structures in cells, called mitochondria, are passed from egg to embryo. In the hybrid, the mitochondria mostly come from the egg, initially making up around half of the DNA by weight, and the team will do experiments in order to ensure that the trace of human mitochondrial DNA takes over, not least because it is designed to work with human nuclear DNA.
"The key thing we are doing is trying to create stem cells without any animal DNA in them. So even though these hybrid embryos normally have a small percentage of animal DNA , we are hoping to create cells that would have human chromosomes and human mitochondrial DNA." The reason is that, as the team puts it, "mixing of these two diverse populations of mitochondria can be detrimental to cellular function."
Dr Evan Harris, Liberal Democrat science spokesman, commenting on the HFEA decision to issue a license to the University of Warwick to create hybrid embryos combining human skin cells with enucleated pig eggs, said: "This application is a further indication of the interest in this sort of research by UK scientists, the decision of the HFEA to issue a license following stringent checks demonstrates that it is considered both necessary and ethical."
"While this approval comes under the existing 1990 Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act, both houses of Parliament have recently voted by large majorities to allow it into the future," said Prof Robin Lovell-Badge, of the MRC National Institute For Medical Research.
"It is good news that this license has been issued at a time when parliament has expressed overwhelming support for this research after an excellent public debate. I suspect other similar applications will follow and hopefully this research can now progress without the hype."
Teams in Newcastle and London are already creating hybrids. The former have already created hybrids with cow eggs to study the basics of how the use of genes changes in early development, the latter a range of species to generate stem cells from people with neurodegenerative disorders.

Future referendums will be ignored whether they are held in Ireland or elsewhere, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing (Knights of Malta), the architect of the European Union Constitution said.
The former President of France drafted the old Constitution that was rejected by French and Dutch voters three years ago before being resurrected as the Lisbon EU Treaty, itself shunned by the Irish two weeks ago.
Mr Giscard d'Estaing told the Irish Times that Ireland's referendum rejection would not kill the Treaty, despite a legal requirement of unanimity from all the EU's 27 member states.
"We are evolving towards majority voting because if we stay with unanimity, we will do nothing," he said.
"It is impossible to function by unanimity with 27 members. This time it's Ireland; the next time it will be somebody else."
"Ireland is one per cent of the EU".
Mr Giscard d'Estaing also admitted that, unlike his original Constitutional Treaty, the Lisbon EU Treaty had been carefully crafted to confuse the public.
"What was done in the [Lisbon] Treaty, and deliberately, was to mix everything up. If you look for the passages on institutions, they're in different places, on different pages," he said.
"Someone who wanted to understand how the thing worked could with the Constitutional Treaty, but not with this one."
France and Germany are putting pressure on Ireland to hold a second referendum which would allow the Lisbon Treaty to come into force before European elections on June 4 2009.
Mr Giscard d'Estaing believes "there is no alternative" to a second Irish vote, a view shared by Nicolas Sarkozy, the French President.
Mr Sarkozy, who takes over the EU's rotating presidency next week, will use a Brussels summit on October 15 to force Ireland to find a way out of Europe's Treaty difficulties.
"Everyone agrees it has to be sorted out by the time of European elections," he said at the weekend.
Václav Klaus, the Czech President has continued to insist that the Lisbon Treaty "cannot come into force" after the Irish vote.
"The EU cannot ignore its own rules. The Lisbon Treaty has been roundly and democratically rejected by Ireland, and it therefore cannot come into force," he told El Pais newspaper.
"Any attempt to ignore this fact and make recourse to pressure and political manipulation to move the treaty forward would have disastrous consequences."
Mark François, Conservative spokesman on Europe, also insisted that it was time that European politicians started to respect the Irish No vote.
"The Irish people gave an emphatic No to the Treaty of Lisbon on a record turnout and it would be good for politicians of all countries to respect this democratic decision," he said.
"The point is particularly clear to us here in Britain as the Irish were fortunate to be given a referendum which we were denied by our Government."
An opinion poll for the newspaper Libération has shown 44 per cent of the French want Ireland to vote again and 26 per cent want the ratification process to continue without Ireland.
But a quarter of those polled want to abandon the Treaty and 52 per cent think the Irish No vote is going to dominate Mr Sarkozy's EU presidency.

An Iranian commander says the global community turned a blind eye to the downing of a passenger jet by the US navy in the Persian Gulf.
The Deputy Head of Iran's Armed Forces Headquarters, Brigadier General Seyyed Masoud Jazayeri, said Saturday that July 3 is a 'shameful day' for the so-called US democracy.
Iran Air Flight 655 was destroyed by the US Navy's guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes between Bandar Abbas and Dubai on Sunday July 3, 1988, over the Strait of Hormuz.
The US warship patrolling Iran's maritime territory killed all 290 passengers, including 66 children, and crewmembers.
The White House claims the incident was an honest mistake on behalf of the US Navy. Iran, however, says there is no way that an Airbus A300 can be mistaken for an F-14 Tomcat fighter.
"What is most disgraceful and shameful is that the criminal commander of the ship was awarded the Legion of Merit medal," Gen. Jazayeri continued.
Lieutenant Commander Scott Lustig, air-warfare coordinator on the Vincennes, received the Commendation Medal for 'heroic achievement', noting his 'ability to maintain his poise and confidence under fire' that enabled him to 'quickly and precisely complete the firing procedure'.
The Iranian commander added that the UN Security Council did not take reasonable measures against the US over targeting the civilian aircraft within Iranian airspace.
Gen. Jazayeri called on the international community to never forget Washington's atrocities in the Persian Gulf, the US government's refusal to claim responsibility for the incident, and its refusal to apologize to the Iranian nation.
Ron Paul gave a speech on the House floor today condemning the "virtual war resolution" soon to be considered by the House of Representatives. This bill already has 208 co-sponsors, and will likely be voted on after the 4th of July holiday. A related bill is being worked on in the Senate, with 29 Cosponsors. Many of the cosponsors are Democrats. Who says the Democratic Party is the anti-war party? Here is the video of Dr. Paul speaking out forcefully against this resolution, sadly to a nearly empty House chamber.

Gore Vidal, US novelist, historian and social critic says the Bush regime has killed all of the constitutional links that made the US a republic.
On early Friday morning Iran time, in an exclusive interview with Press TV, Vidal said that President Bush has rid the country of the Bill of Rights, habeas corpus and the entire legacy of the Magna Carta in the name of war on terror.
He also criticized the House of Representatives for not impeaching President Bush, over a wide array of subjects such as disclosure of CIA agent Valerie Plame's covert status. Vidal did however single out Rep. Dennis Kuchinich for drawing up articles of impeachment against the president.
Vidal, long strongly critical of the Bush administration, said the administration has both an an explicit and covert expansionist agenda.
In his writings he has made the assessment that for several years, the administration and its associates, many of whom are magnets in the oil and gas industry have had clear aims to control the oil of Central Asia which is to follow on the heels of gaining effective control of the oil of the Persian Gulf--a project that took a new twist with the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1991.
That event inadvertently served as the basis for the neo-conservative American Project for the 21st Century document and policy guideline that has been the hallmark of the Bush-Cheney years.
Regarding the September 11, 2001 attacks, Vidal has written the American intelligence community clearly warned it was coming but the event provided political cover and pretext for the plans that the administration already had in place for invading Iraq--plans that can be traced to the waning days of the first Bush family presidency. .
This feature length documentary about medical madness, cloaked in bioterrorism preparedness, will awaken the brain dead. It exposes health officials, directed by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), for conducting a “War of Terror” that is killing millions . It was produced by award-winning humanitarian, Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz, a world-renowned authority in public health education, covert intelligence agency operations, and emerging diseases investigations. He is the author of three American bestsellers, including Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola—Nature, Accident or Intentional? and Healing Codes for the Biological Apocalypse.
...and no one seems to care. Maybe I'm not the minority, maybe these are strong words. I just must call it what it is. What else can you call it? What am I talking about? The Lisbon Treaty getting Royal Assent on 19/06/08, AFTER the Irish "No vote".
As it stands The UK has already handed over:
That's just the tip of the iceberg. I haven't gone into the effects that losing control of these areas has already had. With the ratification of all 27 EU member states the UK hands over the following:
This is still a brief list of what the Lisbon Treaty entails. The end result is the full transfer of UK sovereignty to the EU with the UK being broken up into provinces under it. Remember MEP's have no power and no say, they can only voice their opinions. The EU commission makes the laws and decisions. They are unelected and unaccountable.
What type of people are managing the EU? Let’s briefly have a look at what the European Commission president Mr. Barroso’s calls a “high quality commission”:
A gang of criminals. Who could want this?! It's no wonder the UK and all other EU member states except for Ireland we're denied a referendum! Why did Ireland get one? Their High Courts seem to be the only ones who recognise the constitutional implications.
To make matters worse anyone involved in plotting, assisting or contributing to the transfer of sovereignty away from the crown is guilty of treason. That's a lot of people in government. Just imagine, Gordon Brown and David Milliband, "Off with his head!". That is however the reality of the situation. So for the Queen herself to willingly and knowingly, sign away her crown and kingdom is beyond belief. Why is no one in the streets? Is the government's propaganda(lies, doublespeak) that good? Obviously.
This unelected, unaccountable EU elite will not give up however. They wanted a constitution, we said no. So they called it a treaty, can we be fooled that easily! No matter, we can have no say anyway. Don't forget NOBODY has can read it (the treaty was handed out as a list of amendments, not a comprehensive document. The EU commission refused to print a full merged copy until after ratification had taken place?!). Deceit at it's inception. It will be deceit to the end as it comes into play 1st January 2009.
While Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen is "looking at options", hopefully the grassroots campaign that helped Ireland produce a no vote, will be able to withstand the propaganda campaign which is sure to besiege their nation.
If you were unaware of any of these issues please watch these documentaries. A nice article of note is also available by Archbishop Cranmer.
As an after thought. Those who have done more research will know by 2010 the NAU or North American Union (Canada, US, Mexico) will be in effect. The AU(African Union est 2002) is already here and the Asian Union and Pacific Union are fast approaching. It's obvious what the next union will be. The ground work is already laid UN, WTO, WHO, IMF etc. Considering it will follow the EU model, an unelected, unaccountable president of the Earth does not give me a warm feeling. That's enough for now!
The EU has been sold to Britain as our best hope for the future .Bbehind the scenes, has another, more unsettling agenda been unfolding? The European Economic Community (EEC) began for Britain as a free-trade agreement in 1972. Today's European Union is well on its way to becoming a federal superstate, complete with one currency, one legal system, one military, one police force and even its own national anthem. In this shocking documentary featuring EU insiders and commentators, independent author Phillip Day covers the history and goals of the European Union, as well as the disturbing, irrevocable implications this new government has for every British citizen. Whether the viewer is for or against Britain's participation, this film asks the troubling questions the mainstream media has refused to confront.
This video details how the structures of the EU really operate, what the full significance of the Lisbon Treaty is and how it is the end of Nations within in the EU. MEPs describe their experience in Brussels and how they are undermined by the real power of the unelected and unaccountable Eurocrats who run the organization. How the politicians are working together for their own selfish needs while being used for a bigger agenda.
Once again my favourite politician of the time exposes the "group think" and error behind the American 2008 election issues . He has done this consistently throughout the campaign by refusing to let go of his principles and policies which are really the only way to save America. Make no mistake, her current course can only lead to ineveitable economic, social and political collapse. If and when she sneezes, it's a cold we can do without.
During a conference on C-Span, Ron Paul was asked to evaluate Obama in light of his nomination. He does this quite eloquently, highlighting the fact that most Americans do not know the issues. I agree. They're hooked on chanting the talismanic slogan of "change", without knowing a single policy he plans to implement. Believe me most Americans don't. Understandable considering the Bush, Clinton, Bush and almost Clinton again administration they've just had to suffer. Those that can name one of his policies, universal healthcare, don't realise they can't afford the system they've got.
To expand a little and show the magnitude of this, the Federal Reserve 2008 accounts say they're already in a 40 trillion dollar obligation to healthcare. That's not a spelling mistake. Surely Obama know's this? The Federal Reserve is already printing 20 billion dollars a year (out of thin air) and taking loans secured against sub prime securities to fund a trillion dollar a year war. How is it going to cope with the baby boomers who are now of age and which the 40 trillion owed? Obama knows. Universal healthcare! That's just one of his policies.
The IRS is going to be more popular than ever. Let's hear Ron Paul sum it up:
Wow! Obama is slick, you've go to give to him but the truth hurts. The Republican party must be kicking themselves. If Ron Paul is not going to take on Obama let's take a look at how McCain handles the coming "change":
What a sorry state of affairs. He's so desperate, he steals some of Ron Paul's lines! How could you nominate someone who says nothing(Obama), or be fooled by another idiot(McCain). Well let's get some tongue in cheek insight into American politics. This is what Fox News made of Obama's nomination celebration:

Overviews, Money, Law, Health, Education, Civil Liberties, EU, Global Warming, Media, 9/11 or 7/7.
The mainstream news has wilfully spread false, unsubstantiated and unverifiable information, while choosing to completely ignore the numerous inconsistencies and discrepancies in the official story. The government has finally, after a year, presented us with their official ‘narrative’ concerning the events of 7/7. Within hours it was shown to contain numerous errors, a fact since admitted by the Home Secretary John Reid. They have continuously rejected calls for a full, independent public inquiry. Tony Blair himself described such an inquiry as a ‘ludicrous diversion’. What don’t they want us to find out?
TAKING LIBERTIES is a shocking but hilarious polemic documentary that charts the destruction of all your Basic Liberties under 10 Years of New Labour. Released to coincide with Tony Blair's departure, the film and the book follow the stories of normal people who's lives have been turned upside down by injustice - from being arrested for holding a placard outside parliament to being tortured in Guantanamo Bay.
The film closely examines one of the world’s worst catastrophes (9/11) from a civil engineering perspective. Using photo and video footage as well as expert scientific testimony, the film thoroughly examines the official reports, offering varied criticisms of the official findings, while raising a more plausible hypothesis. The findings from these scientific experts have been quietly ignored by both government investigations and the mainstream media.
"A marvel of passionate succinctness, Robert Kane Pappas' docu critically examines the Fourth Estate, once the bastion of American democracy. Docu asks, "Could a media system, controlled by a few global corporations with the ability to overwhelm all competing voices, be able to turn lies into truth?..." - Variety
Outfoxed examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, have been running a "race to the bottom" in television news. This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public's right to know.
A global view of hidden current affairs in 2008. From Man's relationship to the universe, to the hidden horrors that are being focred upon him and those that have been already. A very good narrated presentation by Ben Stewart.
Regarding the 7/7/2005 terrorist attacks in London, let us look at the facts, and what we were told, and compare them. Then, using Ockham’s Razor and common-sense, let us see what conclusions are to be drawn, so we can all understand what most likely really did happen that day.
Loose Change 2nd Edition was originally released December 11, 2005. It is essentially an improved, higher quality version of the original Loose Change. The 2nd Edition Recut replaces the original Loose Change opening sequence with a timeline of events leading up to 9/11/2001 and elaborates more on certain parts of both what happened leading up to that day and on that historic day itself. The timeline is followed by the opening credits, which segues into the Pentagon section. From there we deal with the events of 9/11 as they occurred, summing up the film with the information that came out after the events.
Loose Change Final Cut is the third and final release of this documentary series. It draws upon experience and research that's taken place since the release of Loose Change 2nd Edition to make this new film.
Loose Change Final Cut is substantially different from Loose Change and Loose Change 2nd Edition Recut in the way it presents the information surrounding 9/11/2001. However, it remains true to the spirit that has made Loose Change what it is today.
Nutricide brings you the disturbing truths about worlwide laws on food which will come into effect in 2009. These laws will depirive food throughout the world of their essential nutrients and place production and ownership of our foods in the hands of transnational corporations. Some things you can ignore, food, is not one of them.

Bryson marshals an impressive amount of research to demonstrate fluoride’s harmfulness, the ties between leading fluoride researchers and the corporations who funded and benefited from their research, and what he says is the duplicity with which fluoridation was sold to the people. The result is a compelling challenge to the reigning dental orthodoxy, which should provoke renewed scientific scrutiny and public debate.

Paul Grignon's 47-minute animated presentation of "Money as Debt" tells in very simple and effective graphic terms what money is and how it is being created. It is an entertaining way to get the message out. The Cowichan Citizens Coalition and its "Duncan Initiative" received high praise from those who previewed it. I recommend it as a painless but hard-hitting educational tool and encourage the widest distribution and use by all groups concerned with the present unsustainable monetary system in used thoughout the world.
The Money Masters is a non-fiction, historical documentary that traces the origins of the political power structure that rules our nation and the world today. The modern political power structure has its roots in the hidden manipulation and accumulation of gold and other forms of money. The development of fractional reserve banking practices in the 17th century brought to a cunning sophistication the secret techniques initially used by goldsmiths fraudulently to accumulate wealth. With the formation of the privately-owned Bank of England in 1694, the yoke of economic slavery to a privately-owned "central" bank was first forced upon the backs of an entire nation, not removed but only made heavier with the passing of the three centuries to our day. Nation after nation, including America, has fallen prey to this cabal of international central bankers.
Welcome to my blog recording the alternative view of current and historic events. There's so much at odds with what we're being told, it's amazing what lies underneath. I truly consider human origins, history and our future possibilities, the greatest story ever told.
There's so much information I've learnt and yet to learn, that my brain cannot physically contain any more! I have a 1% synthesis technique and aim to record that 1% here on this blog in order to say at the very least, this is what's going on.
Some will not accept these recordings, others will know full well what I'm talking about. Think of everything you've witnessed in the last ten years. Don't be a coincidence theorist. That's a bit naive :). Well, you conspire to win a game of cards, if you could, would you play for the world?
Pandora's box is without a doubt open on the world stage. The pawns are realising they no longer have to get to the other side to become kings. Who's rule's are those anyway? Isn't there a better game to play?
