Oh such excellent questions Jules....
Yes, aliens from this or a parallel dimension, dark spirit beings who can live in more than one level of vibrations, beyond the third dimension in which we live. Why some can say they are evil spirits, or demons if you will. They are what they are, no matter how you name them. They have been covertly manipulating mankind since its inception and creation. They learned back then that ruling the world had its limits, and they had ambitions which transcended those limits. So they were forced to wait, to nurture and to experiment, perfecting their craft..their mass deceptions through religion, through the heinous experimentation with their wars, and through it all humans are their pawns. We have reached a point where those limitations keeping the covert from overt have been stretched to the point where they are poised to make their strike. They need to unify the world under their dark shadow, to hammer us down beneath their god-dictator fist. Because they need the energy it would create. They feed on fear. And terror. And finally they can get it on a truly world wide scale. |

do they neccessarily have to be evil? maybe they are the opposite but we are on such a lower conscious level that we misinterpret them? I want them to find that Stargate! |

I'm not placing all my bet on that stargate thing, its interesting and I believe the possibility but I'm not saying its truth. I don't want them to find a Stargate, because of what I know will come through it. They are good aliens/spirits/demons (disguised as all the gods of the past and present). But the good ones follow the laws of the universe, and one of them is the law of interference, in which they will not allow themselves to interfere and created karmic debt to them. He have to in a sense invite them to. But the bad ones don't follow that, and they have disguised themselves so well that he don't even believe they exist, or rather we believe more in the shadows they have created under religion. They are breaking the laws of the universe, but the invocation of karmic debt is not instant, its a slow flowing process which transcends time and space. |

AT&T whistleblower: I was forced to connect 'big brother machine' David Edwards and Jason Rhyne Published: Wednesday November 7, 2007 A former technician at AT&T, who alleges that the telecom forwards virtually all of its internet traffic into a "secret room" to facilitate government spying, says the whole operation reminds him of something out of Orwell's 1984. Appearing on MSNBC's Countdown program, whistleblower Mark Klein told Keith Olbermann that a copy of all internet traffic passing over AT&T lines was copied into a locked room at the company's San Francisco office -- to which only employees with National Security Agency clearance had access -- via a cable splitting device. "My job was to connect circuits into the splitter device which was hard-wired to the secret room," said Klein. "And effectively, the splitter copied the entire data stream of those internet cables into the secret room -- and we're talking about phone conversations, email web browsing, everything that goes across the internet." Asked by Olbermann how he knew what was being sent along those particular lines, Klein said it was all part of his former job: "As a technician, I had the engineering wiring documents, which told me how the splitter was wired to the secret room," Klein continued. "And so I know that whatever went across those cables was copied and the entire data stream was copied..." According to Klein, that information included internet activity about Americans. "We're talking about domestic traffic as well as international traffic," Klein said. " And that's what got me upset to begin with." Previous Bush administration claims that only international communications were being intercepted aren't accurate, Klein says. "I know the physical equipment, and I know that statement is not true," he added. "It involves millions of communications, a lot of it domestic communications that they're copying wholesale, sweeping up into that secret room." When Olbermann asked Klein if being involved in the process reminded him of a scene in the film Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the former technician said he had another movie in mind. "Actually, I'm a little older so my thought was George Orwell's 1984 and here I am forced to connect the big brother machine," he said. "And I felt I was in a funny position, but I needed my job, so I didn't want to make a fuss a the time. But after I retired, I thought about it some more." According to ABC News, Klein believes AT&T has similar operations in place in as many as 20 other sites. He is in Washington to lobby Congress not to pass a proposed telecom immunity bill, which would provide legal immunity to companies who secretly participated in NSA warrantless eavesdropping programs. Some of the nation's largest telecommunications companies are currently facing an array of class-action lawsuits related to the matter. |

National Lawyers Guild and Society of American Law Teachers Strongly Oppose Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act Added: Dec 2nd, 2007 8:00 AM National Lawyers Guild and Society of American Law Teachers Strongly Oppose Homegrown Terrorism Prevention ActDecember 02, 2007 -- RaidersNewsNetwork.com -- On October 23, 2007, the House of Representatives passed the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 by a vote of 404-6. The bill will be referred out of committee this week and will then go to the Senate floor. The National Lawyers Guild and the Society of American Law Teachers strongly oppose this legislation because it will likely lead to the criminalization of beliefs, dissent and protest, and invite more draconian surveillance of Internet communications. This bill would establish a Commission to study and report on "facts and causes" of "violent radicalism" and "extremist belief systems." It defines "violent radicalism" as "adopting or promoting an extremist belief system for the purpose of facilitating ideologically based violence to advance political, religious, or social change." The term "extremist belief system" is not defined; it could refer to liberalism, nationalism, socialism, anarchism, communism, etc. "Ideologically based violence" is defined in the bill as the "use, planned use, or threatened use of force or violence by a group or individual to promote the group or individual's political, religious, or social beliefs." Thus, "force" and "violence" are used interchangeably. If a group of people blocked the doorway of a corporation that manufactured weapons, or blocked a sidewalk during an anti-war demonstration, it might constitute the use of "force" to promote "political beliefs." The bill charges that the Internet "has aided in facilitating violent radicalization, ideologically based violence, and the homegrown terrorism process in the United States by providing access to broad and constant streams of terrorist-related propaganda to United States citizens." This provision could be used to conduct more intrusive surveillance of our Internet communications without warrants. This legislation does not criminalize conduct, but may well lead to criminalizing ideas or beliefs in violation of the First Amendment. By targeting the Internet, it may result in increased surveillance of Internet communications in violation of the Fourth Amendment. The National Lawyers Guild and the Society of American Law Teachers strongly urge the Senate to refuse to pass the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. Founded in 1937 as an alternative to the American Bar Association, which did not admit people of color, the National Lawyers Guild is the oldest and largest public interest/human rights bar organization in the United States. Its headquarters are in New York and it has chapters in every state. The Society of American Law Teachers (SALT) is a community of progressive law teachers working for justice, diversity and academic excellence. SALT is the largest membership organization of law faculty and legal education professionals in the United States. |

how disturbing is that? my friend Kristi is all paranoid about ciggarette laws. theres a law here where you cant smoke in your car if you have your kids in it. You cant smoke in bars and clubs or restaraunts anymore either. She thinks eventually they will be outlawed and next they will tax liquor a shitload and then outlaw that too. She was telling me about a law against spanking your children. WTF? |

January 16, 2008 URGENT HEALTH FREEDOM INFORMATION. PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY Subscribe to the Health Freedom eAlerts http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?page_id=187 And please ask your friends to do so too. Our Side Just Won Big on Two Supposedly Impossible Fronts… We, the People, can whisper, speak, insist and, when we believe in our own power, we can issue forth a mighty roar at which, literally, corporate and political tyrants tremble! This week that happened twice, once in France and once in the US ! We snatched two major "People's Victories" from the jaws of two of the mightiest forces in the world: the United States Government and the Biotech Industry. Take note and take heart: "They" are vulnerable to our awareness and conscious action. We CAN change outcomes from what they want because it serves the corporate interests to what we want because it preserves health and freedom. But the more isolated and impotent we feel, the stronger they get. Well, read on! We are clearly NOT impotent and, through your Natural Solutions community, we are certainly not isolated. To continue to win victories, you know we need your continuing tax deductible donations (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?page_id=189). French Score: Consumers 1, BioTech 0 France has rescinded its approval of Monsanto's 810 Maize because the efforts of a small, but determined, group of activists! Here is the simple press release which announces, in understated terms, the victory won by activists there who have uprooted GM fields, staged marches, educated the public and, finally gone on a hunger strike. Finally, in the midst of the uproar, France rescinded its approval of Monsanto 810 Maize for animal feed. "Press Release - (Jakarta, 12 January 2008) La Via Campesina is happy to announce that José Bové and the 15 other anti-GMO hunger strikers won a major victory yesterday with the French government's decision to ban the GMO Monsanto maize "MON 810", the only variety authorized in the country so far. "This significant decision was taken because of the risks this genetically modified variety poses on the environment. "The 16 French activists launched a hunger strike of indeterminate length on January 3 in order to achieve the activation of the cautionary principle, permitted by European law that allows a country to edict a moratorium on the commercialization of a genetically modified seed if new scientific evidences show that it threatens the environment. "The international peasant's movement La Via Campesina is a strong opponent of genetically modified crops. It considers the French government's decision as a strong signal to reconsider a total ban on GMO crops in Europe and in the world. "For more information: Josie Riffaud and Paul Nicholson : +34636451566" France has bent a vigorous battle ground against genetically modified (GM) foods. The international peasants' organization, "La Via Campensina" (literally, "Peasant Life") has been fighting GM crops vigorously in France and elsewhere. They have gone to jail for burning GM crops in France , organized marches, informed the public and brought court actions. Earlier this month, they organized a hunger strike in France . The only GM crop approved for use in France thus far has been Monsanto's Yield Guard Corn, 810 Maize, which is genetically modified to produce a pesticide similar to the one which the bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis produces. Although the compound produced by the GM corn Monsanto 810 is billed as identical to the natural pesticide product is not. The idea is to kill the corn borer by making the whole plant poisonous. Really poisonous. Um, people eat the plant even though it was approved for use as an animal feed. People also then eat the new DNA and it gets into our own DNA. Animals, insects and bacteria also eat the pant. Isn't there something wrong with this picture? Codex established the methods of analysis, laying the groundwork for the global approval of Monsanto 810 Maize in the 24th Session of the Codex Committee on Methods of Analysis and Sampling (CCMAS)/AD HOC Intergovernmental Task Force on Foods Derived From Biotechnology, Budapest, November 2002., [url=ftp://ftp.fao.org/codex/ccmas24/ma02_08e.pdf]ftp://ftp.fao.org/codex/ccmas24/ma02_08e.pdf[/URL]. That is, of course, not much of a surprise. Like the FDA, Codex apparently never met a GM food it did not love. There certainly is not much to love about this destructive food. Remember, the FDA does not look for safety when companies apply to bring their GM food to market. It does not even look AT safety data since it does not review or carry out safety studies. No, is a patent. And the FDA actively forbids labeling foods accurately if they contain GM components! Consumers would reject food if they knew that it was GM, said Dr. Barbara Schneeman of the FDA at last year's meeting of the Codex Working Group on the labeling of Foods Derived from Biotechnology. Therefore, she continued, when pressed to explain the US ban on accurate labeling, since the FDA has made the administrative decision that GM foods are the same as non GM ones, telling the public the truth would be "false and misleading"! As far as Codex is concerned, the GM corn, Monsanto 810 Maize, which produces 1500-3000 times more Cry1AB toxin than the safe natural bacterial toxin, is perfectly fine for use. And, until this week when France basically used our Codex Two Step* approach, France had said it was fine, too! Of course it is not safe for the livestock that eat it, the people that eat the livestock, the bacteria in the people's gut or in the soil, nor is it safe for insects. To read the outstanding and important letter which a group of New Zealand scientists sent to the Prime Minister of New Zealand in 2004 urging extreme caution in approving any GM foods in New Zealand , click here (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?p=500). * The Codex Two Step is the legal strategy we developed that lets countries opt out of Codex restrictions. See www.globalhealthfreedom.org for details. Every Victory Makes Us Stronger - Here's Victory Number Two In the American Spiritual, "Jacob's Ladder" the slaves told their masters through their song, "Every victory makes us stronger" and so it does. Although the fronts on which the health freedom battle is fought are many, the issues are always the same, "Who makes the decisions about what goes into MY SKIN? Is that my choice or is it the choice of some corporate-driven government bureaucrat or doctor? Chemotherapy? Vaccination? Herbal treatments? GM Food? Biochemically effective supplements, pesticide-free food? "Organic" that means "clean and chemical free"? Health care professionals treating me the way we both agree they can treat me without the State interfering and criminalizing my health care provider? Truthful information about how food might be able to help me? The State taking my children away because it wants to drug or vaccinate them and I do not? The answers are plain to see if you love your health and you love your freedom. That means the victories are ours and for the hope of the future! Victory Number Two is about Freedom first and health second. The Real ID bill passed recently to the howls of outrage of freedom advocates (mine included) when we said that we did not want a national ID card (a prelude to control of movement within a country with huge historical precedent - like Nazi Germany and Stalin's Russian, Apartheid South Africa, for example). We also did not want an ID card with a Radio Frequency Identification Device or RFID embedded in it which could be read from afar, activated or turned off by the government or through malicious manipulation (again, from afar), encoded with all financial, medical and other personal information, etc. Bad idea. But the government seemed hell bent for leather to force us to carry these cards regardless of our desires as part of the "war on terror" (whose terror, of course, is never discussed). But that is not the way things turned out. "Real ID is dead in the water, and it is clear that no amount of money can save it," said ACLU Legislative Counsel Tim Sparapani." The only solution to Real ID is to scrap it, and Congress is catching on. "With seventeen states opposed to this program and the U.S. Senate standing behind them, this is the beginning of the end of Real ID..." The Natural Solutions Foundation joined other NGO's (nongovernmental organizations or "civil society" as it is know elsewhere in the world) to educate Congress and decision makers about the dangers to health and freedom of programs like Real ID. But the program would not have been stopped but for a loud public outcry -- People Power! This is a People's Power victory. Alone we may appear to be "voices in the wilderness" but together we are powerful! We are heading toward a state of siege in which the "authorities" determine what you may, may not and must do with your body and your child's. This is what Dr. Ron Paul has decried as "soft Fascism." The issues at stake can be lumped together under the heading "Health Freedom" - The authority of the state ends at my skin! In February, 2006 I published an article called "Whose Blood Sugar is it, Anyway?" (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/docs/blood_sugar.pdf) about the fact that if you have your blood sugar drawn in New York City, your doctor will get a letter scolding him/her if the City does not like your lab results and so will you! Vermont had already enacted the same invasive laws. (Is there any "nanny state" nonsense intervention that our regulators would think too noxious for their bureaucratic attention?) Alas, we did not rise up then and stop the process of the State Regulators taking over our bodies. So they expanded their powers considerably. This time, the time is now to take back control of our own bodies. We ignore this warning at our peril. |

FDA: Don't Ask, Don't Tell on Cloned Meat By Brandon Keim January 15, 2008 | 1:34:45 PMCategories: Agriculture, Animals, Biotechnology, Government After four years of deliberation, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced today that meat from cloned animals and their offspring is safe to eat. But despite public unease and lingering scientific uncertainty, the FDA won't require such meat to be labeled or tracked. Food producers say they're not about to put cloned meat on American dinner plates, as the procedure is too expensive and inefficient, and a third of U.S. adults say they won't eat cloned meat regardless of its approval. Instead, farmers will purchase cloned animals to serve as breeding stock for their entire herds. People tend to feel less repulsed at eating the offspring, so it's clone descendants that we'll eat -- though we probably won't know for sure. The FDA says clone-derived products don't need to be labeled. "There's no way for the consumer to know whether they're getting cloned meat or their offspring," said Will Rostov, a senior attorney at the Center for Food Safety, a agricultural advocacy group. According to Rostov, the FDA should have treated cloned animals as a new animal drug, thus requiring a higher level of scrutiny and testing. "Anything that's changed the structure of the cell is a new animal drug. Cloning changes that structure. We filed a petition, but the FDA said they were using their discretion, that all they needed to do was some sort of risk assessment." The risk assessment, said Rostov, is based largely on conflicted industry data. Cloning indeed causes genetic alterations: the extraordinary rates of early and horrible deaths among cloned animals testify graphically to that. The FDA counters that a clone capable of reaching breeding maturity is safe, and that genetic alterations caused during cloning aren't passed to their offspring. But would it really be so hard to require cloned food products to be labeled? The FDA says ethical and economic issues aren't the purview of the new study -- but those words could be easily be turned against them, as the only argument against mandatory labeling is an economic one. Among the other economic issues unconsidered by the FDA's report is food security. Critics say that cloning farm animals will produce genetic uniformity in US herds, leaving them prone to disease outbreaks or even bioterrorism. In addition to that, said Rostov, "The whole idea, to take the prize bull and say that we have the best genetics -- that freezes the genetics. With traditional breeding, you're trying to improve the genetics. Cloning freezes it at one moment." Aside from a single throwaway line -- "Further, care needs to be taken not to rely excessively on a few apparently superior sires so as not to reduce the genetic diversity of the resulting herds" -- this concern doesn't arise in the report. But given how utterly reliant the industry already is on in-vitro fertilization using sperm from a few prize steers, that's understandable. And in light of that, the issue of labeling seems less problematic. Yes, as a matter of principle, people have a right to know where their food comes from. But at this point, meat that doesn't come from small farms with an organic label is almost certain to originate in an industrial farming system defined by pollution, steroids and a dangerous overreliance on antibiotics. Clones or no clones, we're not in Kansas anymore. Update: The Center for Food Safety is pushing Congress to pass the 2007 Farm Bill, which contains an amendment that would overrule the FDA and delay the introduction of cloned animals into the food supply. Read their press release here. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- January 15, 2008 Center for Food Safety says FDA research is "wishful thinking"; calls for peer-reviewed trials of cloning technology The Center for Food Safety issued the following statement about the FDA's cloning decision. (The statement is not up on the CFS website yet, so I'm posting the whole thing): FDA OPENS ‘PANDORA’S BOX’ BY APPROVING FOOD FROM CLONES FOR SALE Center for Food Safety Blasts Decision Based on “Wishful Thinking”; Calls for Peer-Reviewed Trials for Untested Technology that Could Pose Health Risks to Consumers, Economic Risks to US Agriculture Washington, DC, January 15, 2008, — Today, the Center for Food Safety (CFS) condemned the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) irresponsible determination that milk and meat from cloned animals are safe for sale to the public. In addition, the FDA is requiring no tracking system for clones or labeling of products produced from clones or their offspring. This action comes at a time when the U.S. Senate has voted twice to delay FDA’s decision on cloned animals until additional safety and economic studies can be completed by the National Academy of Sciences and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). “The FDA’s bullheaded action today disregards the will of the public and the Senate – and opens a literal Pandora’s Box,” said Andrew Kimbrell, CFS Executive Director. “FDA based their decision on an incomplete and flawed review that relies on studies supplied by cloning companies that want to force cloning technology on American consumers. FDA’s action has placed the interests of a handful of biotech firms above those of the public they are charged with protecting. With FDA’s release of their controversial risk assessment today, CFS joins dozens of other food industry, consumer, and animal welfare groups, as well as federal lawmakers in calling for swift action on the part of Congress to pass the 2007 Farm Bill containing provisions delaying FDA’s release of clones into the food supply. The Farm Bill currently contains an amendment, advanced by Senator Barbara A. Mikulski (D-MD.) and co-sponsored by Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA), requiring a rigorous and careful review of the human health and economic impacts of allowing clones food into America’s food supply. The Senate overwhelmingly passed the bill by a vote of 79 to 14. The passage of this bill with the Mikulski-Specter amendment sends a strong message that the FDA has failed the public again by taking an inadequate and half-baked look at the safety of food products from cloned animals and their offspring,” said Joseph Mendelson, CFS Legal Director. “The FDA’s cavalier approach to cloned food and its potential impacts calls for the remedy of a truly rigorous scientific assessment, and Congress has now repeatedly called for such action.” The Farm Bill amendment addresses the gaps and inadequacies of the FDA’s current risk assessment, and would go into effect before any food products from clones are marketed. The Farm Bill also directs the USDA to examine consumer acceptance of cloned foods and the likely impacts they could have on domestic and international markets. (For more information on this amendment, go to: http://mikulski.senate.gov/record.cfm?id=289130). Additionally, the FDA is today issuing a guidance document for food producers; It fails to require any special procedures for tracking or handling food products from clones. It also fails to require labeling of any kind on food products from clones or their offspring, which deprives consumers of their right to know about the origins of their food. Recently, two cloning companies - Viagen and Trans Ova, proposed the creation of a voluntary cloning registry program. While they advanced claims that the registry would provide consumer protection and transparency without regulation, clones and their progeny will still be dispersed through the food system without any tracking or labeling. The cloning industry’s proposal is simply another attempt to force cloned milk and meat on consumers and the dairy industry by giving the public phony assurances,” said Mendelson. “The proposal neither provides new studies on the safety of clones nor protects the consumers’ right to know whether their food or dairy contains products from clones. Once clones are released into America’s food supply without any traceability requirements, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to recall them.” Recent opinion polls show the majority of Americans do not want milk or meat from cloned animals in their food. A December 2006 poll by the Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology found that nearly two-thirds of U.S. consumers were uncomfortable with animal cloning. A national survey conducted this year by Consumers Union found that 89 percent of Americans want to see cloned foods labeled, while 69 percent said that they have concerns about cloned meat and dairy products in the food supply. A recent Gallup Poll reported that more than 60 percent of Americans believe that it is immoral to clone animals, while the Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology found that a similar percentage say that, despite FDA approval, they won’t buy milk from cloned animals. In its risk assessment of cloned food, the FDA claims to have evaluated extensive peer reviewed safety studies to support its conclusion, yet a recent report issued by CFS, Not Ready for Prime Time, shows the assessment only references three peer-reviewed food safety studies, all of which focus on the narrow issue of milk from cloned cows. What is even more disturbing is that these studies were partially funded by the same biotech firms that produce clones for profit. |
