The clowns in Congress continue to promote the fake terror war despite the fact that the official story of the 9/11 attacks is a total lie, and the entire war against terror is based off of an entirely false pretext.

It is also highly unlikely that any American will end up dead as a result of a terrorist attack but the promotion of fear continues.

Americans are more likely to die from disease, a car accident or any number of other circumstances than they are from a terrorist attack. Despite all of this, we continue to see members of Congress propose bills that seek to destroy individual freedom under the guise of fighting this completely bogus terror war.

A new bill proposed by Representative Peter King (R-NY) called the See Something Say Something Actseeks to encourage Americans to spy and report information on their neighbors by ensuring that those who make such reports would be immune from lawsuits. Even if the reported claims prove to be entirely false, the accused would be unable to take action against the accuser so long as it is believed that the accusations were made in good faith and with reasonable suspicion.

This means that the true purpose of this bill is only to encourage people to be more willing to spy on and report information on their neighbors to the authorities.

From the bill:

`(1) IN GENERAL- Any person who, in good faith and based on objectively reasonable suspicion, makes, or causes to be made, a voluntary report of covered activity to an authorized official shall be immune from civil liability under Federal, State, and local law for such report.

This vaguely worded statement would allow the government broad latitude to determine what reasonable suspicion and good faith actually is. It also provides the accuser immunity from any civil action the accused could take against them even if their allegations prove to be false.

Also from the bill describing the term “covered activity”:

The term `covered activity’ means any suspicious transaction, activity, or occurrence indicating that an individual may be engaging, or preparing to engage, in a violation of law relating to an act of terrorism (as that term is defined in section 3077 of title 18, United States Code).’.

In U.S. Code an act of terrorism is vaguely described and even a misdemeanor offense could be potentially considered a terrorist act. The definition of domestic terrorism which originated from the controversial USA Patriot Act is stated below.

(5) the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that—

(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;

(B) appear to be intended—

(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and

(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.

This vague wording of this definition could theoretically apply to activities arranged by any number of protest groups or political organizations a point of which even the ACLU has stated.

Although the ACLU is likely a controlled opposition front, they are correct on this point as they explain in their analysis of the USA Patriot Act.

The bottom line is that this new bill has nothing to do with stopping terrorist acts but instead has everything to do with creating a society where people are more willing to spy on and report information on their neighbor to the federal government.

This is an attempt to turn the United States into a larger version of East Germany where the secret spies of the Stasi created an atmosphere of fear until the Berlin Wall finally fell in the late 1980s.

Hilarious Propaganda: Gaddafi Troops Raping, Issued Viagra: U.S. Envoys - BlackListedNews.com

Source: Huffington Post

Reuters - The U.S. envoy to the United Nations told the Security Council on Thursday that troops loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi were increasingly engaging in sexual violence and some had been issued the impotency drug Viagra, diplomats said.

Several U.N. diplomats who attended a closed-door Security Council meeting on Libya told Reuters that U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice raised the Viagra issue in the context increasing reports of sexual violence by Gaddafi's troops.

"Rice raised that in the meeting but no one responded," a diplomat said on condition of anonymity. The allegation was first reported by a British newspaper.

Pfizer Inc's drug Viagra is used to treat impotence.

If it is true that Gaddafi's troops are being issued Viagra, diplomats said, it could indicate that they are being encouraged by their commanders to engage in rape to terrorize the population in areas that have supported the rebels.

The use of rape as a weapon during wartime has received increasing attention at the United Nations. Last year, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon appointed a special envoy on sexual violence during armed conflict, Margot Wallstrom.

Caterpillar Earnings: A Huge Warning Sign?

Caterpillar Earnings: A Huge Warning Sign? - CNBC

Caterpillar came in with a huge upside surprise on its earnings today.

And that has people worried.

How on earth is it possible that domestic sales of construction equipment could have increased 92 percent?

Construction is recovering—but it is not anywhere near the level that could justify that kind of spending on equipment.

This shouldn’t really be a boom time for Caterpillar.

Even Caterpillar’s executives seem surprised. According to Caterpillar, rental dealers have rapidly increased their buying to replace aging equipment. This is essentially how Caterpillar’s competitors also explain their rising sales.

US government takes down HAARP website to conceal evidence of US weather modification and earthquake inducing warfare.

US government takes down HAARP website to conceal evidence of US weather modification and earthquake inducing warfare. | PRESS Core – Evidentiary News, World News, Special Reports, Technology, Health, Videos, Polls

HAARP Sea-Based X-Band Radar (SBX) platform

Updated April 21, 2011 – The HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) website has been down for the past 3 weeks. It was ordered taken down by the US government to conceal US weather modification and earthquake inducing warfare activities against foreign states. The HAARP website was publishing very damaging evidence of US military weather modification and earthquake triggering operations against foreign states. HAARP’s waterfall charts and magnetometer charts gave evidence of an ongoing weather war between the United States government and foreign states. The magnetometer presented concrete evidence that HAARP triggered the Japan earthquake and ensuing tsunami.

HAARP’s magnetometer can be used to predict as well as give evidence of a HAARP created earthquake. A magnetometer measures disturbances in the magnetic field in Earth’s upper atmosphere. HAARP was broadcasting a 2.5 Hz frequency (the signature frequency of an earthquake) from just before midnight on March 8, 2011 and continued to broadcast the frequency for the entire days of March 9, 2011 and March 10, 2011. The 2.5 Hz frequency continued to be broadcasted and recorded by the magnetometer for another 10 hours the day of the Japan 9.0 magnitude earthquake.

Scientists at the HAARP institute discovered that a 2.5 Hz radio frequency is the signature frequency of an earthquake. Since this discovery the HAARP phased array antennas have been used by the US military to beam the earthquake frequency into the ionosphere and the ionosphere reflects it back to Earth – penetrating as deeply as several kilometers into the ground, depending on the geological makeup and subsurface water conditions in a targeted area.. By beaming the frequency at a specific trajectory HAARP can trigger an earthquake any place on Earth. A short burst isn’t enough to disturb solid matter (the Earth crust) so they keep beaming the 2.5 Hz earthquake frequency for hours or days – until the desired effect is achieved.

The Environmental Modification Convention (ENMOD) prohibits the military or other hostile use of environmental modification techniques. It opened for signature on 18 May 1977 in Geneva and entered into force on 5 October 1978. The Convention bans weather warfare, which is the use of weather modification techniques for the purposes of inducing damage or destruction.

Evidence from HAARP’s own website revealed that the US government was acting in violation of the ENMOD treaty – use of weather modification techniques (HAARP) for the purposes of inducing damage or destruction. HAARP broadcasting data published on the HAARP website coincided with a number of recent major catastrophes such as the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the 2010 heatwave in Russia, the major floorings in 2010 in China and Pakistan and the major earthquakes in Haiti and Japan – all occurred since US president and commander-in-chief of the United States military Barack Hussein Obama took office.

The Japan 9.0 earthquake offered the most damaging evidence of the US government using HAARP to induce major damage and destruction against a foreign state. HAARP’s magnetometer data showed the World that HAARP (jointly managed by the US Air Force and the US Navy) began broadcasting the earthquake inducing frequency of 2.5 Hz on March 8, 2011 and continued to broadcast the frequency for the entire days of March 9, 2011 and March 10, 2011. HAARP wasn’t turned off until 10 hours after the Japan 9.0 magnitude earthquake that was triggered on Friday, March 11, 2011 at 05:46:23 UTC. Smaller earthquakes have continued for weeks without being registered on the HAARP magnetometer. Why? Because, as stated before a magnetometer measures disturbances in the magnetic field in Earth’s upper atmosphere. It is not a seismometer which measure motions of the ground. The magnetometer doesn’t measure seismic activity it measures and records electromagnetic frequencies in the Earth’s atmosphere. HAARP’s antenna array beams the 2.5 Hz earthquake inducing radio frequency into the atmosphere where a magnetometer can record and provide concrete evidence of a US weather modification and earthquake triggering attack against foreign states.

Still think that HAARP is just another wacky fictional conspiracy? The above listed patents should be enough to convince any intelligent person that HAARP is real and is now actively modifying our weather and triggering earthquakes. For those who are still not convinced, look to the United States Congress for proof. In order for HAARP to get funding the people who first created HAARP needed funding. That funding was made possible by the US government. If you were to look at Congressional records you would find documents that states just one of the many official purposes of HAARP – for penetrating the earth with signals bounced off of the ionosphere. Congress was informed by people in the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program that the bounced signals would be used to look inside the planet to a depth of many kilometers in order to locate underground munitions,minerals and tunnels. If you bounced the known earthquake signature signal (2.5 Hz) for a sustained period of time an earthquake could triggered many kilometers inside Earth’s crust. The U.S. Senate actually set aside $15 million dollars in 1996 (Clinton and Al Gore Administration) to develop this ability alone — earth-penetrating-tomography.

Presidential Debate (meet up / protest) May 5th Greenville SC Ron Paul

Want a Passport? Remember the Addresses of Everywhere You've Ever Lived?

Want a Passport? Remember the Addresses of Everywhere You've Ever Lived? » Blog of Rights: Official Blog of the American Civil Liberties Union

Do you remember the names of all the bosses you've ever had? What about the addresses of everywhere you've ever lived since birth?

Or better yet: the name and address of your mother's employer at the time of your birth? And who/where provided her with pre- and post-natal care?

The Department of State (DOS) happens to think these tidbits of your personal history are crucial in its determination of whether to give you a passport.

This kind of information is requested in DOS's proposed questionnaire for passport applicants. This biographical questionnaire would "supplement an application for a U.S. passport when the applicant submits citizenship or identity evidence that is insufficient or of questionable authenticity."

If this sounds ridiculous, we couldn't agree more. We sent a letter to DOS Monday outlining our objections to this proposed rule. We point out that filling out the application "in its entirety," as it demands, could be impossible for many. What if your mother can't remember who her doctor was when you were born? What if you were adopted, and don't even know who your biological mother is? What if your mother is dead? This questionnaire has the potential to discriminate against a new class of people: those who can't contact their biological mothers. Who would fall into this class? Madonna's kids, Brangelina's kids, the children of same-sex couples, children of infertile couples…the list goes on.

Our letter also points out that requiring this kind of information is unconstitutional:

It is hard to square the burden presented by this form with existing constitutional protections. The right to travel outside the United States is a liberty secured to United States citizens and is not subject to restriction without due process of law under the Fifth Amendment…It is not a mere privilege but rather a right available, with some carefully crafted restrictions, to most citizens…Given this established law it is hard to see how access to a passport could be denied to tens of thousands of Americans though what amounts to administrative fiat, the creation of a Kafkaesque form almost impossible to complete.

We also outline our concerns about how this kind of minutia will be shared with an alphabet soup of government agencies (IRS, FBI, ATF, SSA…), pointing out: "Innocent Americans who have done nothing to warrant a suspicion of wrongdoing should fear the creation of a detailed intelligence dossier filled with what amounts to a life history simply because they are seeking passports."

DOS received more than 900 comments during the open comment period (which expired Monday), so we're hopeful the proposal will be revised. Stay tuned!

Update: Chronicle responds after Obama Administration punishes reporter for using multimedia, then claims they didn't



Update: In a pants-on-fire moment, the White House press office today denied anyone there had issued threats to remove Carla Marinucci and possibly other Hearst reporters from the press pool covering the President in the Bay Area.

Chronicle editor Ward Bushee called the press office on its fib:

Sadly, we expected the White House to respond in this manner based on our experiences yesterday. It is not a truthful response. It follows a day of off-the-record exchanges with key people in the White House communications office who told us they would remove our reporter, then threatened retaliation to Chronicle and Hearst reporters if we reported on the ban, and then recanted to say our reporter might not be removed after all.

The Chronicle's report is accurate.

If the White House has indeed decided not to ban our reporter, we would like an on-the-record notice that she will remain the San Francisco print pool reporter.

I was on some of those calls and can confirm Ward's statement.

Messy ball now firmly in White House court.

-----

The hip, transparent and social media-loving Obama administration is showing its analog roots. And maybe even some hypocrisy highlights.

White House officials have banished one of the best political reporters in the country from the approved pool of journalists covering presidential visits to the Bay Area for using now-standard multimedia tools to gather the news.

The Chronicle's Carla Marinucci - who, like many contemporary reporters, has a phone with video capabilities on her at all times -shot some protesters interrupting an Obama fundraiser at the St. Regis Hotel.

She was part of a "print pool" - a limited number of journalists at an event who represent their bigger hoard colleagues - which White House press officials still refer to quaintly as "pen and pad" reporting.

But that's a pretty Flintstones concept of journalism for an administration that presents itself as the Jetsons. Video is every bit a part of any journalist's tool kit these days as a functioning pen that doesn't leak through your pocket.

In fact, Carla and her reporting colleague, Joe Garofoli, founded something called "Shaky Hand Productions" - the semi-pro, sometimes vertiginous use of a Flip or phone camera by Hearst reporters to catch more impromptu or urgent moments during last year's California gubernatorial race that might otherwise be missed by TV.

The name has become its own brand; often politicians even ask if anyone from Shaky Hand will show at their event. For Carla, Joe and reporters at other Hearst newsrooms where Shaky Hand has taken hold, this was an appropriate dive into use of other media by traditional journalists catering to audiences who expect their news delivered in all modes and manners.

That's the world we live in and the President of the United States claims to be one of its biggest advocates.

Just the day before Carla's Stone Age infraction, Mr. Obama was at Facebook seated next to its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, and may as well have been wearing an "I'm With Mark" t-shirt for all the mutual admiration going back and forth.

"The main reason we wanted to do this is," Obama said of his appearance, "first of all, because more and more people, especially young people, are getting their information through different media. And historically, part of what makes for a healthy democracy, what is good politics, is when you've got citizens who are informed, who are engaged."

Informed, in other words, through social and other digital media where videos of news are posted.

The President and his staffers deftly used social media like Twitter and Facebook in his election campaign and continue to extol the virtues and value. Except, apparently, when it comes to the press.

First GOP Debate: Who Will Show Up?

First GOP Debate: Who Will Show Up? - Washington Wire - WSJ

In an all-around weird beginning to the 2012 election cycle, it should be no surprise that the first 2012 Republican presidential debate would be shrouded in intrigue and mystery.

Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (AP Photo/Steve Pope, File)

Yes, the debate will happen, next Thursday in Greenville, S.C. Scads of reporters will show. But who will be there to debate?

The state Republican party isn’t saying. “We will make that clear on May 3rd, after the deadline for filing paperwork for the debate has passed,” said Joel Sawyer, the party’s executive secretary.

The hitch is that only a scattering of candidates will qualify.

The party has imposed three hurdles to joining the debate. First, a candidate must have filed the paperwork for a federal exploratory committee, a qualification only five or so mainstream candidates meet. A candidate must garner at least 1% support in five national polls, which would nix a few of those already partially in the ring. And finally, a candidate must pay the state party $25,000 to register to be on the ballot in South Carolina.

That leaves few potential debaters.

Another early debate that had been scheduled for May at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, Calif., was postponed until September.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is leading in some polls in South Carolina, but he has made no moves to run. Same goes for former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, real-estate developerDonald Trump, and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, none of whom made any formal filings for a campaign.

Others who have, such as former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson or former Louisiana Gov.Buddy Roemer, haven’t exactly taken off—much less been mentioned—in recent national polls. Former corporate CEO Herman Cain says he meets all the qualifications, but his spokeswoman says he hasn’t decided if he’ll attend. Also on the cusp is former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.

Former House speaker Newt Gingrich, meanwhile, has done fairly well in recent national polls, but he has yet to file a formal exploratory committee, and won’t do so that next week. “We are on our schedule, not theirs,” said Gingrich spokesman Rick Tyler, speaking of the state GOP. “It’s unfortunate, but that’s the way it is.”

So that leaves as few as three potential debaters: Texas Rep. Ron Paul, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty.

Mr. Romney has given no signs of attending. So for now, that appears to leave Mr. Paul and Mr. Pawlenty.

Fearing he may be left to debate himself, Mr. Pawlenty, in a statement Friday, urged others to join him in Greenville. “It’s important that Republicans show up now, talk about their records, and begin the debate on how best we can defeat this President,” he said.

So why were tornadoes in South so deadly

So why were tornadoes in South so deadly? - Technology & science - Science - OurAmazingPlanet - msnbc.com
By Brett Israel
OurAmazingPlanet
updated 4/29/2011 6:25:08 PM ET

Tornado-related deaths have declined dramatically over the past few decades because of improved forecasts and better warnings, but the massive outbreak on April 27 reported killed 318 people across the Deep South. What happened?

The bottom line: Massive tornadoes hit populated cities head-on. Forecasters had warned of an "insane" storm system for days, so it's unlikely that the tornadoes caught many by surprise. But with few basements inDixie Alley, not many places were safe in the paths of tornadoes that had nearly 200-mph winds. Even solidly built houses were swept away. Many entire neighborhoods were completely obliterated.

"The truth is, even if you did everything you were supposed to do, unless you were in an underground bunker, you weren't going to survive," James Spann of the ABC affiliate in Birmingham, Ala., told The New York Times.

Vicious twisters
On Wednesday, more than 150 tornadoes were reported in the southeastern United States. Bob Henson, a meteorologist with the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., said he "wouldn't at all be surprised," to see some of those storms rated as EF-5, the highest rating on the Enhanced Fujita Damage scale, with winds faster than 200 mph.

Already, one tornado that killed 14 people in Smithville, Miss., has been given the top rating, the first EF-5 in the United States in three years.

The deadly combination of strength and location, with the populous cities of Birmingham and Tuscaloosa, Ala., has created one of the highest death tolls in decades.

Dog Submerges Herself In Bathtub To Survive Fire

Dog Submerges Herself In Bathtub To Survive Fire - Greenville News Story - WYFF Greenville
A dog survived a raging house fire for six hours by hiding in a water-filled bathtub, according to firefighters.

The house that burned was in the relatively new Beaumont subdivision off State Park Road near Mt. Creek Baptist Church.

Piedmont Park Fire Capt. Duane Brock said the fire was extremely difficult to extinguish because of the size of the house and the intensity of the flames.

Firefighters were able to rescue the dog, a 1-year-old Belgian Malinois named Mia, from the basement of the burning home, according to Brock.

Mia's owner, Chris Brumby, was amazed at how the dog survived, but said he knew she was smart.

"She acts like a human for most things," Brumby said. "And that kind of showed it. She knew where to go and hide."

He said Mia was able to get to a bathtub on the lowest level of the house, where she waited as firefighters doused the home with water. As the water ran down into the basement, it filled the bathtub and soaked Mia, keeping her safe from flames, Brock said.

Brumby said the dog has learned how to open doors throughout the house, and that she had to open four doors to get to the bathtub where she was found.

He said when firefighters brought her out of the house, she was wet, dazed and covered in soot.

"She literally had steam coming off of her," he said.

Brumby, his wife Codi and their two children were out to dinner when the fire started.

He said the house was a total loss, but that they were relieved that the dog survived.

"That was a pretty special moment for us, because she's definitely part of the family," he said.
