God gave to Algor a terrible vision of melting glaciers, of oceans rising to inundate great cities, of storms raging across the land in the expression of God’s True Wrath. <p>“Why, O Lord, are you choosing to punish mankind with such terrible plagues, causing the land to heat, the ice caps to melt and the oceans to drown all mankind?” Algor asked God. And in the terrible silence that ensued God gave Algor a vision of the Truth. Mankind was sinning against the land, flouting the laws of God by purchasing Ichor from the Hamites and thus enriching them beyond their dreams. And taking that Ichor, which the Hamites squeezed from the bowels of Mother Gaia like so much pus from a festering boil and burning it to power their chariots. Those chariots spewed forth a multitude of blasphemous sulphur and brimstone, causing the quiet earth ague and fever.<br /></p><p><a href="http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/12083">Continued after the jump......</a><br /></p><p><br /></p>Burrow Owlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13896960544629770059noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885953607656707707.post-45575942538189650632009-06-15T21:14:00.000-07:002009-06-15T21:32:00.404-07:00Guess who's been keeping tabs on me?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/Terry_Gainer%2C_official_photo_as_Sergeant_at_Arms%2C_2007.jpg/180px-Terry_Gainer%2C_official_photo_as_Sergeant_at_Arms%2C_2007.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 219px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/Terry_Gainer%2C_official_photo_as_Sergeant_at_Arms%2C_2007.jpg/180px-Terry_Gainer%2C_official_photo_as_Sergeant_at_Arms%2C_2007.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Interesting.<br /> I decided to take a long overdue look at the logs this evening- and it seems that I've attracted the attention of some rather unsavory characters:<br />On 5-28-09 my blog received visits from both the<a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.house.gov%2F&ei=7R03SumZBY3WtgP65dG2Bw&rct=j&q=us+house+of+representatives&usg=AFQjCNFT2ZqH8kwYRfWXoBy9lUcjlDMslQ"> US House of Representatives</a> and Terry Gainer- the<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrance_W._Gainer"> Senate Sergeant at arms.</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Was it something I said?</span>Burrow Owlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13896960544629770059noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885953607656707707.post-69780453008323239782009-06-15T18:57:00.000-07:002009-06-15T19:15:28.886-07:00Proud to be an American?

Republicans lashed back that Obama is no voice of fiscal restraint as the deficit soars.<br /><br />I'll be interested in that if and only if it is retroactive to Obama's submitted budget, and holds deficits to no more than George W. Bush's average deficit.<br /><br />Remember, we're not going to be fighting any more wars, right? So no need for big deficits, right?<br /><br />Oh wait - we're going to run somewhere around $1.8 trillion in deficits this year, and Obama wants to talk about "PayGo"?<br /><br />To increase the deficit from HERE?<br /><br />Who cares? A deficit four times larger than ever run before, and now we're going to say "we'll cap it here"?<br /><br />This is a joke, right?<br /><br />No, its not:<br /><br /> The deficit figures flow from the deep recession, the Wall Street bailout and the cost of the economic stimulus bill. Obama has defended the massive stimulus plan as essential to helping pump some life back in the economy, one that is still shedding jobs but showing more signs of life in recent weeks.<br /><br />But that "stimulus" and "bailout" won't and mathematically cannot work, because the excessive debt is still there, having been simply shifted to The Federal Government instead of forced to default on the balance sheets of the imprudent where it would have blown them to smithereens. Instead, it will blow all of us to smithereens.<br /><br />How in the hell does anyone support this crap? How does this sort of thing not lead to immediate jeers from the peanut gallery, the Press and the people?<br /><br />How does this sort of flat LIE not lead to 100,000 people surrounding 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with signs, pitchforks and torches - tomorrow?<br /><br />We are truly a nation of sheep, and we are not going to get sheared this time - we're going to get slaughtered and eaten.Burrow Owlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13896960544629770059noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885953607656707707.post-84881076354365944752009-06-07T11:00:00.000-07:002009-06-08T12:27:48.767-07:00The beatings will continue until......Passaic, N.J. cop initiates an unprovoked violent beat-down of a citizen.<br />(Recorded by a restaraunt surveillance camera on 5/29)<br />Perhaps the saddest part is watching the looky-loo sheeple who do nothing but walk by while it's happening.... the first who walked by had a perfect opportunity to kick the JBT's teeth into his rectum... yet he pretends that nothing is happening.<br />And some people wonder why this shit not only happens, but gets more common with each passing day.<br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/N7oXl7ZpI5M&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/N7oXl7ZpI5M&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>Burrow Owlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13896960544629770059noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885953607656707707.post-19412319680539308032009-06-06T00:36:00.000-07:002009-06-06T09:14:21.691-07:00Quote of the daySo, David Carradine went to Bangkok to ... <a style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic;" href="http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=7764618&page=1">jack off in a closet</a></span>?

Nicolas Sarkozy was the first to say so, while addressing the UN General Assembly in September 2007 (that is, before the crisis). </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >During the February 2009 meeting in Berlin convened to prepare the G20 summit, this was echoed by Gordon Brown, who said that a worldwide New Deal was needed. We are conscious, he added, that where the world financial flows were concerned, we would not be able to emerge from this situation with the help of purely national authorities alone. We need the authorities and world watchdogs to make the activities of financial institutions operating in the world markets totally open to us. Both Sarkozy and Brown are protégés of the Rothschilds. Statements made by certain representatives of ‘the global elite’ indicate that the current crisis is being used as a mechanism for provoking some deepening social upheavals that would make mankind – plunged as it is already into chaos and frightened by the ghost of an all-out violence – urge of its own free will that a ‘supranational’ arbitrator with dictatorial powers intervene into the world affairs. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >The events are following the same path as the Great Depression in 1929-1933: a financial crisis, an economic recession, social conflicts, establishing totalitarian dictatorships, inciting a war to concentrate power, and capital in the hands of a narrow circle. This time, however, the case in point is the final stage in the ‘global control’ strategy, where a decisive blow should be dealt to the national state sovereignty institution, followed by a transition to a system of private power of transnational elites. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >As early as the late 1990s, David Rockefeller, author of the idea of private power that is due to replace the governments, said that we (the world) were on the threshold of global changes. All we need, he went on, is some large-scale crisis that will make people accept the new world order. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >Jacques Attali, Sarkozy’s adviser and former EBRD chief, claimed that the elites had been incapable of dealing with the currency problems of the 1930s. He was afraid, he said, that a similar mistake would be made again. At first we’ll wage wars, he went on, and let 300 million people perish. After that reforms will follow and a world government. Shouldn’t we better think about a world government already at this stage, he asked? </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >The same was stated by Henry Kissinger: In the final analysis, the main task is to define and formulate the general concerns of the majority of countries, as well as of all leading states with regard to the economic crisis, considering the collective fear of a terrorist jihad. Next, all of that should be converted to a common action strategy… Thus, America and its potential partners are getting a unique chance for turning the moment of the crisis into a vision of hope. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >The world is being led to accept the “new order” idea step by step to avoid provoking events that are likely to make the universal protests against the worsening conditions of human existence take ‘a wrong course’ and become uncontrolled. The main thing that Stage One managed to achieve was to start a wide-ranging discussion on ‘global government’ and the ‘inadmissibility of protectionism’ with an emphasis on the ‘hopelessness’ of the national-state models for emerging from the crisis. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >This discussion is proceeding against the background of information pressures that help to build up human anxieties, fear, and uncertainty. Some of those information actions are the following: WTO forecasts to the effect that 1.4 billion people are likely to sink below the poverty line in 2009; a warning by the WTO director general that the biggest world trade slide in postwar history is in the offing; a statement by the IMF’s Dominique Strauss-Kohn (a protégé of Sarkozy’s) that a world economic crash is impending unless a large-scale reform of the financial sector of the world economy is implemented, and a crash that is most likely to bring in its wake not only social unrest but also a war. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >Against this background, the idea to introduce a common world currency as a cornerstone of the ‘new world order’ was put forward. The real masterminds of this long-standing project are as yet in the shadow. Let us note that some or other representatives of Russia are pushed to the fore. This is reminiscent of the situation before World War I, where the Anglo-French circles that possessed some well-elaborated plans for a new division of the world instructed the Russian Foreign Minister to draw up a general program for the Entente Cordiale. It went down in history as the ‘Sazonov program’, even though Russia did not play an independent role in that war and was from the start built into the system of interests of the British financial elite. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >On March 19, Henry Kissinger came to Moscow as a member of The Wise Men (James Baker, George Schultz, and others), who had meetings with the Russian leaders before the G20 summit. Dmitry Trenin, director of the Moscow Carnegie Center and participant in the latest US meeting of the Bilderbergers, called that meeting a ‘positive signal’. On March 25, Moskovsky Komsomolets published an article ‘The Crisis and the World Problems’, by Gavriil Popov (currently President of the International Union of Economists) that openly voiced what was normally discussed behind closed doors. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >The article mentioned World Parliament, World Government, World Armed Forces, World Police Force, World Bank, the necessity of placing under international control the nuclear weapons, nuclear power generating capacities, the entire amount of space rocket technology, and the planet’s minerals, the imposition of birth-rate limits, the cleansing of humanity’s gene pool, the fostering of people intolerant to cultural and religious incompatibility, and the like. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >The <i>“countries that will not accept the global prospects,” says Popov, “must be expelled from the world community.” </i> </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >Of course, the Moskovsky Komsomolets article conveys nothing new that would enable one to understand the strategy of the global elite. Another thing is important. The establishment of a totalitarian police order and the elimination of national states is being suggested as an open program of action, and what both the liberals, and the socialists, and the conservatives always viewed as ‘new fascism’ is being recommended as the only possible salutary path for the whole of mankind. Someone wants the discussing of these projects to become a norm. In this context, some ‘particularly trusted’ representatives of Russia are pushed to the fore, Russia that will become the main victim of the policy of total plunder should the ‘global government’ become a reality. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >The G20 did not discuss the common world currency issue, since time had not yet come for that. The summit itself was a step forward on the way to chaos, because its decisions, if followed blindly, will only worsen the world socioeconomic situation and, to quote Lyndon LaRouche, will “finish off the patient.” </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >In the meantime, the crisis is being exacerbated, and analysts are predicting an era of mass-scale unemployment. The most pessimistic predictions come from LEAP/Europe 20201, which regularly publishes them in its bulletins and even set them out in an open letter sent to the leaders of the Twenty before the London summit. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >As early as February 2006, LEAP was surprisingly precise in describing the prospects for the ‘systemic global crisis’ as a consequence of the financial illness caused by the US debt. LEAP analysts are viewing the current events in the context of the general crisis that began in the late 1970s and is now in its fourth, final and most grave stage, the so-called ‘elutriation phase’, where the collapse of real economy begins. According to LEAP’s Frank Biancheri, it is not simply a recession but the end of the system, in which its main pillar, the US economy, collapsed. “We are witnessing the end of an entire epoch before our own eyes.” </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >The crisis may lead to some most difficult consequences. LEAP forecasts a rise in unemployment to 15-20% in Europe and as much as 30% in the United States. If the key dollar problem fails to be solved, the world events will take a most dramatic turn. The dollar collapse may take place as early as July 2009, and the potentially decades-long crisis will trigger off “a world-wide geopolitical disintegration” with social upheavals and civil conflicts, with the division of the world into separate blocs, with the world coming back to Europe’s1914, with military clashes, etc. The most powerful popular unrest will take place in countries with the least developed social security systems and the biggest concentrations of weapons, primarily in Latin America and the United States, where social violence is already now manifest in the activities of armed gangs. Experts note the beginning of US population fleeing to Europe, where the direct threat to life is for the time being not so great. Aside from armed conflicts, LEAP analysts forecast power, food and water shortages in areas dependent on food imports. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >LEAP experts describe behavior demonstrated by the Western elites as absolutely inadequate: <i>"Our leaders have failed to understand what happened, and show the same amount of incomprehension to this day. We are amid a period of protracted recession, and it was necessary to engage in introducing some long-term measures to cushion the blows, whereas our leaders still hope to avoid a prolonged recession… All of them have been formed around the American pillar and cannot see that the pillar is a shambles…"</i> </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >But this is not seen by the mid-level leaders, while the top-level world managers are, on the contrary, informed quite well; it is they who are implementing the ‘controlled chaos’ and general disintegration policy, including a civil war and the disintegration of the United States planned for the end of 2009, a scenario that is being widely discussed both by American and world media. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >On the threshold of conflicts planned in various areas of the planets, a system is being established that will give a supranational center relying on a large-scale punitive machine total political, military, legal, and electronic control over the population. That system uses the network management principle that allows embedding into any society parallel structures of authority that report to external decision-making centers and are legalized through the doctrine of prevalence of international law over national law. The shell remains national, while real power becomes transnational. Jacques Attali calls this a ‘global law-based state’. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >The ruling center of the global law-based state is located in the US. While its fundamentals began to emerge in the 1990s, the fight against terrorism after the 9/11 events has lead to radically new phenomena. The passing of the 2001 Patriot Act not only allowed security services to control the American population and suspected foreigners, but also accelerated the passing of state responsibilities into the hands of transnational corporate structures. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >Intelligence activities, trade of war, penitentiary system, and information control are passing into private hands. This is done through so-called outsourcing, a relatively new business phenomenon that consists of trusting certain functions to private firms that act as contractors and relying on individuals outside an organization to solve its internal tasks. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >In 2007, the American government found out that 70% of its secret intelligence budget is spent on private contracts and that “Cold-War intelligence bureaucracy is transforming into something new, where contractor’s interests dominate.” For American society (Congress included), their activities remain classified, which allows them to gather more and more important functions in their hands. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >Former CIA employees say that nearly 60% of their staff are on contracts. Those people analyze most of the information, write reports for those who make decisions in state authorities, maintain communications among various security services, help foreign stations, and analyze data interception. As a result, America’s National Security Agency is becoming more and more dependent on private companies that have access to classified information. No wonder, then, that it is lobbying a bill in the Congress that is supposed to guarantee immunity to corporations that have worked with NSA for the last five years. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >The same is happening to private military companies (PMCs), which have been assuming more and more army and police functions. On a significant scale, it started in the nineties in former Yugoslavia, but contract workers were especially widely used in Afghanistan and other conflict zones. They did the ‘dirtiest’ actions, as was the case during the war in South Ossetia, where up to 3000 mercenaries were involved. At the moment, PMCs are real armies, each up to 70,000 strong, that operate in over 60 countries, with annual revenues of up to $180 billion (according to Brookings Institution, USA) For example, over 20,000 employees of American PMCs work in Iraq along with the 160,000 American military contingent. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >The system of private prisons is also growing rapidly in the US. The prison industry complex, which uses slave labor and sweatshop practices, is flourishing, and its investors are based on Wall Street. The use of convict labor by private corporations has been legalized in 37 states already, and it is used by major corporations such as IBM, Boeing, Motorola, Microsoft, Texas Instrument, Intel, Pierre Cardin, and others. In 2008, the number of inmates in US private prisons was about 100,000, and it is growing rapidly, along with the total number of inmates in the country (mostly African-Americans and Latin Americans), which is 2.2 million people, or 25% of all convicts in the world. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >After Bush came to power, privatization of the system for transportation and retention of migrants in concentration camps began. In particular, a branch of the notorious firm Halliburton, Kellog Brown and Root (once headed by Dick Cheney), did just that. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >The biggest achievements have been made over the last few years in the area of establishing electronic control over people’s identities, carried out under the pretext of counterterrorism. Currently, the FBI is creating the world’s biggest database of biometric indexes (fingerprints, retina scans, face shapes, scar shapes and allocation, speech and gesture patterns, etc.) that now contains 55 million fingerprints. The latest novelties include the introduction of body scanning system in US airports, tracking of literature read by passengers in flight, and so on. A new opportunity to gather detailed information on people’s private lives follow from the NSA Directive N59, passed in summer 2008, ‘Identification and tracking biometry for the purpose of strengthening national security’, and the classified ‘Homeland Terrorism Preparedness Law’. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >Evaluating the policy of America’s authorities, ex-Congressman and 2008 presidential candidate Ron Paul said that America is gradually turning into a fascist state, “We are approaching not a Hitler-type fascism, but one of a softer type, which shows in the loss of civil freedoms, when corporations rule everything and… the government lies in the same bed with big business.” May we remind you that Ron Paul is one of the few American politicians speaking for the closing of the Federal Reserve System as a secret unconstitutional organization? </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >With Obama’s coming to power, the police order in America is getting tighter and tighter in two directions – strengthening internal security and militarization of civilian institutions. Tellingly, having condemned the infringements on individual freedoms done by the Bush administration, Obama has put his own staff under total control by making them fill out a 63-question form that touches upon the most intricate details of their private lives. In January, the US President signed bills that enable the continuation of the illegal practice of abducting people, keeping them secretly in prisons, and moving them to countries where tortures are used. He also proposed a bill called National Emergency Help Center Establishment Act, which stipulates the establishment of six such centers in US military bases to provide help to people who are displaced due to an emergency situation or disaster and thus get into military jurisdiction. Analysts connect this bill with possible disturbances and consider it proof that the US administration is preparing for a military conflict which may follow after the provocation that is being planned. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >The American system of police control is actively implemented in other countries, primarily in Europe – through the establishment of American law hegemony on its territory by means of closing various agreements. A big part here was played by US–European talks out of the glare of publicity on creation of the common ‘area of control over the population’ that were held in spring 2008, when the European Parliament adopted resolution that ratified creation of the single transatlantic market abolishing all barriers to trade and investments by 2015. The talks resulted in the classified report prepared by the experts from six participating countries. This report described the project to create the ‘area of cooperation’ in the spheres of ‘freedom, safety and justice’. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >The report dwells upon the reorganization of the system of justice and internal affairs of the EU member states in such a manner that it would resemble the American system. It concerns not only the ability to transfer personal data and cooperation of police services (which is already being carried out), but also, for example, extradition of EU immigrants to US authorities in accordance with the new mandate that abolished all the guarantees the European procedure of extradition provided. In the US the Military Commissions Act of 2006 is in force, and it allows persecution or imprisonment of any person who is identified as an ‘illegally fighting enemy’ by the executive authorities and extends to immigrants from any country not at war with the US. They are persecuted like “enemies” not based on some evidence but because they were labeled so by the governmental agencies. No foreign governments have protested against this law which is of international importance. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >Soon they will sign the agreement on personal data communication, in accordance with which the American authorities will be able to obtain such personal information as credit card numbers, bank account details, investments, travel routes or communication via Internet, as well as the information concerning race, political and religious beliefs, habits, etc.. It was under the US pressure that the EU countries have introduced biometric passports. The new EU regulation implies the overall switch of EU citizens to electronic passports from the end of June 2009 by 2012. New passports will contain a chip with not only passport info and a photo, but also fingerprints. </span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >We are witnessing the creation of the global electronic concentration camp, and crisis, conflicts and wars are used to justify it. As Douglas Reed wrote “people tend to tremble in the face of an imaginary danger and are too lazy to see the real one.” </span></p>Burrow Owlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13896960544629770059noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885953607656707707.post-61503897166667512622009-04-25T12:46:00.000-07:002009-04-25T13:08:47.860-07:00Oh, You Wanted Change? 100 Days and....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKjMQFOeGcWolejheZ3LnhanfOPaG2yCbBbBCUI5RoJ1R7f29Nq2MzwDLP4FNfAZ_or0Aj1crfTbLAS8F9NDdtOjLRVMeS3H8A1rH_uroK9F6jt_ZHLEV8aSeh1RGnELJ6pRk0Hcq-LHQ/s1600-h/tyrant-boot-poster.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKjMQFOeGcWolejheZ3LnhanfOPaG2yCbBbBCUI5RoJ1R7f29Nq2MzwDLP4FNfAZ_or0Aj1crfTbLAS8F9NDdtOjLRVMeS3H8A1rH_uroK9F6jt_ZHLEV8aSeh1RGnELJ6pRk0Hcq-LHQ/s200/tyrant-boot-poster.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328720167810994434" border="0" /></a><br />From <a href="http://market-ticker.denninger.net/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Karl Denninger</span></a>:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">It's change you got.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">We got more corruption.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">We got more abrogation of The Constitution.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">We got more bailouts.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">And you think the Tea Parties were some "right wing hackery" eh?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://market-ticker.denninger.net/archives/987-Oh,-You-Wanted-Change-100-Days-And.....html"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Read the full article..and watch the video at the end..</span></a></span><br /><p style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"><span style="background-color: rgb(250, 255, 255);"><br /></span></p>Burrow Owlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13896960544629770059noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885953607656707707.post-628379396765874772009-04-25T11:22:00.000-07:002009-04-25T11:46:31.573-07:00The Waco Butchers Are Back<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiblJHu_bF6m8BNbx9fG16E0HFaNdA5VQKDqqfrfHVE6o3b643DLIbp-gVf6ExwBgxQyY_GhyfFlnHBYcLuI2dLtiz18SoQFdtfRWVD_Ze7rpp0hw_Tggsg3Nbu-NtqGHo76ReXKfDOjb8/s1600-h/posse1kj2.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiblJHu_bF6m8BNbx9fG16E0HFaNdA5VQKDqqfrfHVE6o3b643DLIbp-gVf6ExwBgxQyY_GhyfFlnHBYcLuI2dLtiz18SoQFdtfRWVD_Ze7rpp0hw_Tggsg3Nbu-NtqGHo76ReXKfDOjb8/s320/posse1kj2.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328701378585454546" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Via <a href="http://www.ncc-1776.org/index.html#toc">The Libertarian Enterprise</a>:</span><br /><br /> <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">"Sixteen years ago we were reminded of the deadly danger of having the left-liberals in charge of the police state. </span><a style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.anthonygregory.com/wacoarchive.htm" target="new">The largest massacre</a><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> of American civilians by the US government since Wounded Knee climaxed on April 19, 1993. The siege that had begun on February 28 with a botched ATF publicity stunt ended when the Branch Davidian church and home went up in flames, after an FBI-operated tank on lease from the military was driven through the building, pumping flammable CS gas for six hours into the place where women and children were cowering in fear. Chemistry professor George Uhlig later testified that the high concentration of the gas combined with poor ventilation subjected the women and children to conditions "similar to... the gas chambers used by the Nazis in Auschwitz." </span><p style="font-style: italic;">On April 12, the FBI had ruled out using gas because it was dangerous to children. A week later, Bob Ricks, FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge, said the gassing was "to make their environment as uncomfortable as possible until they do exit the compound." This excuse came after weeks of throwing flash-bang grenades at the building when people tried to leave. </p><p style="font-style: italic;">Attorney General Janet Reno said the gas attack "was not meant to be D-Day. This was just a step forward in trying to bring about a peaceful resolution by constantly exerting further pressure to shrink the perimeter." This militaristic lingo was characteristic of the feds' approach throughout the siege. The government had waged psychological warfare by blaring obnoxious music, shining glaring lights and cutting the Davidians off water, electricity, their friends, attorneys and the press. Firefighters were not permitted near the scene as the flames continued engulfing the home. When it was all over, the ATF stuck its flag up on the building to declare victory. </p><p style="font-style: italic;">At a press conference on April 20, a day after the FBI gassed American civilians, President Clinton said he did not believe "the Attorney General should resign because some religious fanatics murdered themselves." The press corps, in an unusually naked expression of solidarity with the government, applauded Clinton's statement. </p><p style="font-style: italic;">This underscores the dynamic of having this crop in power. If even the liberals are for a show of force, it must have been necessary. The blame was put on the "religious fanatics," not the government fanatics, and the press and most Americans ate it all up."</p><a href="http://www.ncc-1776.org/tle2009/tle515-20090419-02.html">READ THE WHOLE THING....</a>Burrow Owlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13896960544629770059noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885953607656707707.post-2854473509406855582009-04-24T18:48:00.000-07:002009-04-24T18:53:03.612-07:00Involuntary Flying Squirrels<object width="500" height="405"><param name="movie" value="http://www.heaven666.org/v/15184"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.heaven666.org/v/15184" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="500" height="405"></embed></object>Burrow Owlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13896960544629770059noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885953607656707707.post-45585433621223296812009-04-21T00:22:00.000-07:002009-04-21T00:35:46.774-07:00F.B.I. and States Vastly Expand DNA Databases<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhokyVbTjxhg4ZvwEuJYzCoKR2ETZA-9EgeafEGDnJH3aT9G3xLJhnGqkpY9gHZCdRJ7F1WQRAReEIwGIKm4vjZ2Jhv3bFhu_fHJWBA8OgaqrDGAUH_iauklrZRCXlDOQyfWR6TdS1zUA0/s1600-h/brother-is-watching-you-.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 251px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhokyVbTjxhg4ZvwEuJYzCoKR2ETZA-9EgeafEGDnJH3aT9G3xLJhnGqkpY9gHZCdRJ7F1WQRAReEIwGIKm4vjZ2Jhv3bFhu_fHJWBA8OgaqrDGAUH_iauklrZRCXlDOQyfWR6TdS1zUA0/s320/brother-is-watching-you-.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327045065906501650" border="0" /></a><br />Via<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/19/us/19DNA.html?_r=2"> <span style="font-style: italic;">The New York Times:</span></a><br />"Law enforcement officials are vastly expanding their <a href="http://www.dna.gov/" title="overview of dna, Department of Justice">collection of DNA</a> to include millions more people who have been arrested or detained but not yet convicted.
