Obama's Iraq Pullout Plan Would Leave 30-55,000 Troops In Iraq

President Barack Obama's plan to withdraw American troops from Iraq in 19 months would leave behind a "residual" occupation force of between 30,000 and 55,000 American military personnel to provide "security" for Iraq.

That does not sound like much of a "pullout" to us.

The New York Times is reporting that this residual force will "continue training Iraqi security forces, hunt down foreign terrorist cells and guard American institutions."

Wait a second.

That kind of sounds like what American forces are doing right now.

The New York Times also says that one of Obama’s national security advisers stated during the presidential campaign that the "residual force" is likely to be approximately 30,000 to 55,000 troops.

A senior military officer explained the reality of the situation to the Los Angeles Times this way.....

"'When President Obama said we were going to get out within 16 months, some people heard, 'get out,' and everyone's gone. But that is not going to happen,' the officer said."

So where did the 19 month timetable come from?

Well, Obama had publicly expressed a desire for a 16 month timetable for the partial withdrawal, but General David Petraeus wanted a 23 month timetable.

So Obama decided on a compromise timetable, and so now "the pullout" of American troops will happen in 19 months.

But as we have already discussed, it is not a true pullout.

Not that Islamic militants are giving up the fight either.

WorldNetDaily has a very disturbing report about a professor from Kuwait who recently outlined on Arab television a potential terror attack that would involve smuggling anthrax from Mexico into the U.S. and killing 330,000 people in 60 minutes.

This same professor has called Islamic terrorists "the most honorable people in the world".

The truth is that even after the U.S. public forgets about the war on terror, Islamic militants will still be hating the United States - and they will never forgive us.

The U.K.: The Most Bizarre Big Brother Twilight Zone On Earth

Imagine a society where there are 10 million video cameras watching everything that you do, where it is illegal to photograph the police, where a body scanner takes a picture of your naked body before you get on an airplane, where all citizens must carry a government-issued biometric identity card which includes dozens of pieces of personal information and where the government seeks to micromanage almost every aspect of your life.

Welcome to the United Kingdom - "the most surveilled democracy in the world".

The sad things is that most residents don't even seem to care much as a literal "1984 society" is being rapidly built around them.

For example, a gigantic government database containing the details of every single phone call, email and internet site visited by the public is being implemented in the U.K. as part of the fight against terrorism.

In addition, the U.K. government is going to make sure that you are going to be "environmentally friendly" whether you like it or not. Under a new government plan, energy experts in the U.K. are going to visit every home in the country in order to "help them go green".

It is being called "The Great British Refurb" and it is part of a sweeping U.K. government plan to reduce carbon emissions.

Ed Miliband, the Energy and Climate Change Secretary, has announced that teams of "energy advisers" will go "house by house, street by street" to tell people what they must do in order to become eco-friendly.

Not only that, the government in the U.K. has become absolutely obsessed with garbage. If you don't believe us, the next time that you are in the U.K. toss a piece of garbage carelessly on to a city street and watch what happens.

The reality is that Big Brother's cousin, "Green Brother", has arrived in the U.K.

So who is expected to pay for all of the "eco-friendly" improvements?

The homeowners.

Well, yes, there are going to be "loans" and "tax incentives", but in the end it is the homeowners who will be expected to foot the bill.

The truth is that those who live in the U.K. don't live in a "free" society any longer.

Not that the U.S. is much better.....

For instance, the NSA is now creating an artificial intelligence system called "Aquaint" that will literally pull information from thousands of databases to figure out not only what you are doing, but also what you are thinking.

Aquaint ("Advanced QUestion Answering for INTelligence") is being designed to pull information from your phone calls, credit card receipts, social networks such as Facebook and MySpace, GPS devices, cell phones, Google searches, Amazon book purchases and even E-Z Pass toll records to give users of the system information on where you are, what you are doing and what you are thinking.

Oh, you didn't think that the government could do that?

Oh, you didn't think that the government was ALLOWED to do that?

Guess again.

Welcome to the 21st century - the century of Big Brother.

Acquaint is so incredibly intrusive that at least one researcher has left the project because of concerns about what it is becoming.

Imagine what a technology like this could mean if it fell into the wrong hands.

For some time we have been saying that we are nearing the end of the "open society".

Every day we sink deeper towards a scientific technocracy where "Big Brother" will rule all, but people do not seem to care.

Did you know that there is a new Google application called Google Latitude that you can use to track your friends through their cell phones wherever they go?

So now you can be "Big Brother" too!

But of course your friends can track and trace you too.

Isn't that fun?

The reality is that Google knows way more about you than you would dare to think.

Someday technologies such as this will not only be able to determine what you are doing, saying and thinking, but they will also be able to control you as well.

The reality is that we are moving into times that science fiction writers never even dreamed of.

Are you ready for that?

The Secret War The U.S. And U.K. Are Fighting Inside Pakistan

Most people in both the U.S. and the U.K. believe that their governments are only involved in two wars right now - in Iraq and in Afghanistan. However, the truth is that both governments are deeply involved in a covert war against Islamic militants inside Pakistan that has been going on for quite some time now.

Even the New York Times is reporting on the covert war in Pakistan now. In their recent article, they describe how Barack Obama is actually "expanding" the war against Islamic militants in Pakistan - going well beyond what even George W. Bush did. In fact, Obama has authorized two major missile strikes inside Pakistan just this past week.

The reality is that U.S. special forces based in Afghanistan have been carrying out regular missions into Pakistan’s tribal areas since early September 2008. The New York Times even goes so far as to call what is happening as a "covert war run by the Central Intelligence Agency inside Pakistan" - and if even the New York Times is admitting it, then the U.S. government is not even really trying to hide it anymore.

But it is not just U.S. forces that are deeply involved in the covert war inside Pakistan. A stunning new report has revealed that British agents colluded in the torture of Pakistani terrorism suspects by the ISI inside Pakistan. Officially the British government is "against torture", but apparently they have no problem letting ISI agents torture the living daylights out of Islamic militants while they watch.

In addition, it has now been revealed that the CIA was covertly using the Shamsi airfield in Pakistan (which is 30 miles INSIDE the Pakistani border) to launch operations against targets within Pakistan.

Wow.

How can the U.S. deny that they are at war inside Pakistan when they are using bases inside Pakistan to launch attacks on Pakistani soil?

However, at the same time the U.S. has expanded their war against Islamic militants, the central government in Pakistan is seeking to appease them.

In a very curious move, the Pakistani government is promising to impose Islamic law and to suspend military operations against extremists in areas known to be havens for terrorist organizations.

Now why in the world would the Pakistani government be doing that?

It seems that the goals of the Pakistani government are directly opposed to the goals of the U.S. and the U.K. at this point.

So what will come of all this? Nobody really knows, but for now it seems that the U.S. is quite determined to escalate the war in Pakistan.

Just what the American taxpayers need - another costly war to pay for.

12 Year Old Girl's School Speech Becomes An Internet Phenomenon

A 5 minute speech by a 12 year old girl named Lia has become an absolute internet phenomenon. In a little over two weeks her speech has received 245,713
views on YouTube.

The amazing thing is that her teacher and other school officials did their best to persuade her not to give the speech. She has faced ridicule and persecution for speaking her mind about such a controversial topic.

So what was the topic?

Abortion.

She began her speech this way: "What if I told you that right now, someone was choosing if you were going to live or die? Fellow students and teachers, thousands of children are right now in that very situation. Someone is choosing without even knowing them whether they are going to live or die. That someone is their mother. And that choice is abortion."

Her passion for this issue is undeniable. Just check out the video of her speech below.....



Needless to say, Lia's speech has created a huge uproar in the pro-abortion community. She was treated shamefully at her school, but even worse has been the disgusting reactions to her speech on YouTube. The comments section for the video was eventually disabled by the author because so many of the comments by the pro-abortion crowd were becoming so abusive.

But that is the kind of world we live in now. Hopefully more young people from the next generation can stand up like this young woman did and take a stand for what is right.

Change? Barack Obama Sends 17,000 MORE Troops To Afghanistan

This must be the "change" that Barack Obama was talking about. In one of his first major military decisions as president, Obama has sent 17,000 MORE troops to Afghanistan, and there is talk that he may "need" to send even more U.S. soldiers into the quagmire.

This deployment of 17,000 troops increases the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan by more than 40 percent.

That's not just a surge - that's an escalation.

But Obama is not doing it just for Afghanistan. He has got his eye on Pakistan as well now: "I do it today mindful that the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan demands urgent attention and swift action."

All throughout the campaign, Obama kept mentioning Pakistan as a place where U.S. military action may be needed, and now it certainly seems that those were not empty words by Obama.

After all, just three days after becoming the new president of the United States, Barack Obama approved a devastating missile attack against targets in Pakistan. ABCNews reported that five American missiles struck facilities in Nouth and Sorth Waziristan, killing at least 22 people, according to Pakistani intelligence officials.

The Pakistani foreign ministry was not thrilled at all that Obama had launched missiles into their country, claiming that civilians had been killed: "With the advent of the new U.S. administration it is Pakistan's sincere hope that the United States will review its policy and adopt a more holistic and integrated approach towards dealing with the issue of terrorism and extremism."

Wasn't everyone told that Barack Obama was an "antiwar" candidate?

One thing that the elections of the past few years have revealed is that Americans are sick and tired of committing their young men and women to fight incredibly costly wars in far away places that never seem to end.

The American people were absolutely disgusted with George W. Bush and his warmongering policies.

So why is Barack Obama quickly becoming the new George W. Bush?

Americans are tired of war and they don't want to police the world and they don't want to continue stationing U.S. troops in dozens of different countries.

A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll that was taken from August 29-31 asked the following question:

"Do you favor or oppose the U.S. war in Iraq?"

The results?

Favor the war: 35%
Oppose the war: 64%
Unsure: 1%

Americans clearly do not support the Iraq war, and in fact Americans do not want to commit troops to any endless conflicts.

That seems clear enough.

So why is Barack Obama bringing so many hawks into his administration? Rahm Emanuel (an incredibly fierce opponent of the anti-war wing of the Democratic party), Hillary Clinton, Robert Gates, and retired Marine General Jim Jones are just some of the names that have the antiwar crowd up in arms.

The American people thought once they got George W. Bush out of office all of this warmongering would be over.

Surprise!

The reality is that Barack Obama and Joe Biden can't wait to commit American troops to even more places.

Yes, they fooled middle America with talk about withdrawing SOME of the troops from Iraq "eventually".

But listen to what Obama said in a speech at the Woodrow Wilson Center:

"My plan would maintain sufficient forces in the region to target al Qaeda within Iraq."

The truth is that the United States will have some troops in Iraq throughout Obama's administration.

I guess we should have known there would be no "change" when Obama kept Robert Gates on as Secretary of Defense.

You only keep the same guy in place if you plan on continuing to do the same things as before.

In fact, Obama and Biden have talked very openly about how American forces may be needed all around the world.

Obama has talked how war may be needed with Iran.

Obama has talked about how he may need to commit American troops to Sudan.

Many Americans do not even know that the United States is fighting a "secret war" inside Somalia and may need to send more troops there.

Joe Biden has mentioned several times how America should have sent troops to Lebanon.

And both Obama and Biden openly threaten Russia every chance they get.

Plus don't forget that Obama wants to add 100,000 new troops to the U.S. military.

Anti-war?

No, Obama and Biden may end up being bigger warmongers than Bush and Cheney.

Now the Los Angeles Times is reporting that Obama has actually issued an executive order authorizing the continued use of secret "renditions" by the CIA. If you don't know what a "rendition" is, that is when the CIA secretly grabs someone off the street anywhere in the world and takes that person to a secret prison where they are secretly "interrogated" and abused.

The European Parliament has called renditions "an illegal instrument used by the United States."

But apparently Obama sees no problem with continuing the sick tactics of George W. Bush.

Obama talks about getting back to "American" values, but when he continues the policies of George W. Bush, how is that "American"?

Let me ask you.....does this look "American" to you?:

http://www.antiwar.com/news/?articleid=2444

Well, certainly Obama will do something about the horrific environmental hell that the U.S. military has created in Iraq and Afghanistan through the use of depleted uranium weapons, right?

Certainly any sane president would ban those weapons, wouldn't he?

Sorry.

The U.S. military continues to use those dirty weapons that are literally turning Iraq and Afghanistan into uninhabitable hellholes.

Will Obama change his mind?

Don't count on it.

The reality is that he answers to the same people that George W. Bush answered to.

If you were a big fan of President Bush, then you are likely to love President Obama.

But if you were hoping for "change" then you are out of luck I am afraid.

Insider Tells Of FEMA Plans For Mass Graves And Martial Law In Chicago

One Indiana county municipal official who works in the vicinity of Chicago has come forward and is revealing the details of meetings that he was involved in with FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security.

At first the meetings seemed rather normal, but as the months started to pass, the requests by FEMA and DHS became increasingly unusual. The following is a small excerpt of the interview with this Indiana official that can be found in the YouTube video posted below.....

"We want to know every important thing in this county. We want to know where police departments are. Where weapons are stored. Hazardous material. Where can we land a helicopter. Where are the airports. How big a plane can you land at the airport. Where are all the bridges. Where are all the power stations. Where are all the generating stations.Where are all the substations. They literally wanted to know where everything was. I'm sitting there thinking man if there was ever martial law. This kind of information is exactly the kind of stuff they are going to want. Were just laying it all out for them right there."

Chilling stuff, eh?

A report on this stunning interview listed some of the additional details from these meetings with FEMA and DHS.....

-----

• In late December 2008 municipal officials were invited to Indianapolis for a briefing on the state of Indiana. There were told if industry were to collapse for example GM going bankrupt resulting in mass unemployment a depression would soon follow and municipalities could expect to loose 40% of their funds.

• Every county in the nation would be required to prepare a Hazard Mitigation Plan.

• The county should prepare a plan to vaccinate the entire population within 48 hours and practice the plan several times.

• FEMA inquired to where mass graves could be placed in the county and would they accept bodies from elsewhere.

• The sheriffs department via the state sheriff association was told that no .223 ammunition rounds would be available as the military would be purchasing all stocks.

• The county was asked to make plans for hardening of police and fire stations, putting in hardened bunker type buildings around town.

• The county was asked to make plans for the possibility of up to 400,000 refugees from Chicago.

-----

Mass graves?

Forced vaccination of the entire population?

Hardened bunkers?

It is great for officials to prepare for emergencies, but what in the world is this?

It sounds like someone is preparing for a future that is like something out of a very frightening science fiction movie.

The YouTube video below contains the audio of the shocking interview with this Indiana official. This official sounds a little more than freaked out by all of this.....

11 Facts About The Bizarre $700 Million U.S. Embassy In Iraq

The incredibly bizarre 700 million dollar U.S. embassy in Iraq is now open. At a time when many Americans believe that the United States will pull out of Iraq completely someday, the "largest embassy on earth" looms as a gigantic reminder to the Iraqi people of who really is in charge there.

The following are 11 strange but true facts about this very unusual "imperial fortress".....

#1) It stretches across 104 acres, which is about the size of 80 football fields.

#2) It is roughly the size of Vatican City.

#3) At $700 million dollars, it is the largest and most expensive embassy ever built.

#4) It contains 27 buildings where 1,200 staffers live and work.

#5) It is protected with bulletproof glass.

#6) It includes a gym, a swimming pool, a movie theater, stores, restaurants, schools, a fire station, and power and water treatment plants.

#7) It is known as "The Vatican on the Tigris" and as "George Bush's palace" and as "the Mega-Bunker of Baghdad".

#8) It is 10 times larger than any other U.S. embassy.

#9) It costs 1.2 billion dollars a year to operate.

#10) It is visible from space.

#11) It is the clearest and most obvious sign that the United States plans to never, ever, ever pull out of Iraq completely.

"Stimulus" Bill = Tom Daschle's Nationalized Health Care Plan!

While Republicans and Democrats dance around and debate whether or not the "economic stimulus" bill will actually stimulate the economy, the most important things that have been slipped into the bill are not even being discussed. The reality is that Democrats have inserted provisions into the bill that will give the federal government COMPLETE control over your health care under a nationalized health care plan.

H.R. 1, otherwise known as "the economic stimulus bill" contains almost all of the key elements of Tom Daschle's nationalized health care system that he outlined in his 2008 book, Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis.

In his book, Daschle proclaims that doctors will have to “learn to operate less like solo practitioners” and be willing to accept mandatory government controls and guidelines.

And that is EXACTLY what this new bill forces doctors to do.

H.R. 1 creates a brand new bureaucracy called the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology. This new government organization will monitor all medical treatments to make sure that your doctor is prescribing the exact drugs and medical treatments that the federal government believes are "appropriate" and "cost effective".

The bill has a provision that hospitals and doctors which are not “meaningful users” of the new system will face serious penalties. The bill also says that the Secretary of Health and Human Service will be permitted to impose “more stringent measures of meaningful use over time”.

The bill also radically changes the way that the health care system treats the elderly.

Currently, Medicare pays for medical treatments that are considered to safe and effective.

However, this new bill would change all that.

Instead, it would apply a cost effectiveness standard set by a Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research.

The goal of this "council" would be to actually slow the development and use of new medications and treatments because they are driving up medical costs.

In her recent editorial, Betsy McCaughey describes Daschle's attitude towards the elderly in his book:

He praises Europeans for being more willing to accept “hopeless diagnoses” and “forgo experimental treatments,” and he chastises Americans for expecting too much from the health-care system.

She also goes on to describe how this new "council" would actually make choices to deny health care to elderly patients if they don't have enough useful years left:

The Federal Council is modeled after a U.K. board discussed in Daschle’s book. This board approves or rejects treatments using a formula that divides the cost of the treatment by the number of years the patient is likely to benefit. Treatments for younger patients are more often approved than treatments for diseases that affect the elderly, such as osteoporosis.

Do you understand what that means?

It means that under this new bill, the federal government would decide who lives and who dies.

Do you want the government to have that power?

If not, you better go start objecting to this bill before it passes.

Suddenly The Media Can't Stop Talking About "A New World Order"

After pretending that it did not exist for so many years, the mainstream media is now using the term "New World Order" like there is no tomorrow. Now even Time magazine has come out with a major article entitled "New World Order" that advocates a one world financial system and a one world central bank.

It seems as though more than ever, both the media and government leaders around the world are advocating increased globalism as the answer to all of our economic problems.

But wasn't all of this globalism a big part of our problems?

Isn't it the elite central bankers of the world who played a big role in leading us into this crisis in the first place?

Apparently nobody seems to care about that.

At the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland there was only talk of MORE globalism, more centralization and more power to world financial and government bodies.

In fact, the Financial Times described the World Economic Forum as a time when political leaders from around the world "renewed their globalisation vows in Davos".

So are we headed towards a one world financial system?

Are we headed towards a one world government?

Will we be hearing even more about the need for "a new world order" in the media?

Now why would the media and so many world leaders use the term "new world order" when they know it is going to upset so many people?

Why do they shove that term in our face when they know that we know what it means?

Do they want to purposely alarm us or do they think that nobody can stop them or do they just not care anymore?

After all, who would want a one world government, a one world financial system and a one world religion?

In any event, many world leaders are not even trying to hide the move towards a "new world order" anymore.

For example, in the stunning video clip from CNBC posted below, Henry Kissinger says that this current crisis is a great opportunity for Barack Obama to help bring about "a new world order".

Here is an excerpt from Kissinger's remarks.....

"he can give new impetus to American foreign policy ... I think that his task will be to develop an overall strategy for America in this period, when really a 'new world order' can be created. It's a great opportunity. It isn't such a crisis."

The video of Kissinger making these remarks on CNBC is below.....



Meanwhile, a headline on CNN a while back declared exactly what these world leaders are up to as they endeavor to set up a new financial system: "G-20: Shaping a new world order".

The G-20 represents a huge chunk of the population of the earth. With its 19 nations plus the European Union, the G-20 represents 90% of the world's economy and 75% of its population.

In fact, many world leaders have been quite up front recently about their desire for a new world order.

Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister of the U.K., was very open about his desire for a new world order in recent remarks about the global economic crisis:

"The alliance between Britain and the US, and more broadly between Europe and the US, can and must provide leadership, not in order to make the rules ourselves, but to lead the global effort to build a stronger and more just international order.

"My message is that we must be internationalist not protectionist, interventionist not neutral, progressive not reactive and forward-looking not frozen by events. We can seize the moment and in doing so build a truly global society."

Even President Obama spoke of the need to move towards world government during his speech in Berlin when he described himself as a "citizen of the world"....

"Tonight, I speak to you not as a candidate for President, but as a citizen — a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world."

But is this "new world order" a new idea?

Hardly.

It has been on the minds of world leaders for quite a long time.

The following are quotes by prominent leaders around the world from the past few decades telling us their desires for world government, domination of the media, population control, the end of national sovereignty and a new world order:

“Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”

-David Rockefeller (on page 405 of his autobiography 'Memoirs')

"We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations a new world order, a world where the rule of law, not the rule of the jungle, governs the conduct of nations. When we are successful, and we will be, we have a real chance at this new world order, an order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the U.N.'s founders."

-President George Bush, 1991

"The New World Order will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down...but in the end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal assault."

-CFR member Richard Gardner, writing in the April l974 issue of the CFR's journal, Foreign Affairs.

"My country's history, Mr. President, tells us that it is possible to fashion unity while cherishing diversity, that common action is possible despite the variety of races, interests, and beliefs we see here in this chamber. Progress and peace and justice are attainable. So we say to all peoples and governments: Let us fashion together a new world order."

-Henry Kissinger, in an address before the General Assembly of the United Nations, October 1975

"Further global progress is now possible only through a quest for universal consensus in the movement towards a new world order."

-Mikhail Gorbachev, in an address at the United Nations (December 1988)

"To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism, and religious dogmas."

-Brock Adams, Director of the U.N. Health Organization

"A world government can intervene militarily in the internal affairs of any nation when it disapproves of their activities."

-Kofi Annan, U.N. Secretary General

"Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have."

-Richard Salent, former president, CBS News

"The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it."

-Margaret Sanger, outspoken atheist and socialist, founder of the Voluntary Parenthood League in 1914, and responsible for opening the first birth control clinic in the United States in New York City.

"We live in a dirty and dangerous world. There are some things the general public does not need to know and shouldn't. I believe democracy flourishes when the government can take legitimate steps to keep its secrets, and when the press can decide whether to print what it knows."

-Katherine Graham, Washington Post publisher and CFR member

"There is no such thing as an independent press in America, unless it is in the country towns. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print."

-John Swinton, editor of the New York Tribune

"We are going to impose our agenda on the coverage by dealing with issues and subjects that we choose to deal with."

-Richard M. Cohen, Senior Producer of CBS political news

"We are moving toward a new world order, the world of communism. We shall never turn off that road."

-Mikhail Gorbachev 1987

"There does exist and has existed for a generation, an international . . . network which operates, to some extent, in the way the radical right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups and frequently does so. I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies . . . but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known."

-Professor Carroll Quigley, in his book Tragedy and Hope, 1966

"A total world population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal."

-Ted Turner, in an interview with Audubon magazine

“There is a single theme behind all our work–we must reduce population levels. Either governments do it our way, through nice clean methods, or they will get the kinds of mess that we have in El Salvador, or in Iran or in Beirut. Population is a political problem. Once population is out of control, it requires authoritarian government, even fascism, to reduce it…."

–Thomas Ferguson, State Department Office of Population Affairs

"We in the press like to say we're honest brokers of information and it's just not true. The press does have an agenda."

-Bernard Goldberg, as quoted by Harry Stein in the June 13-19, 1992 TV Guide.

"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill…. But in designating them as the enemy, we fall into the trap of mistaking symptoms for causes. All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself."

–Club of Rome, The First Global Revolution, 1991

"Let me control a peoples currency and I care not who makes their laws."

-Meyer Nathaniel Rothschild in a speech to a gathering of world bankers February 12, 1912

"In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all."

-Strobe Talbot, President Clinton's Deputy Secretary of State, as quoted in Time, July 20th, l992.

"We must speak more clearly about sexuality, contraception, about abortion, about values that control population, because the ecological crisis, in short, is the population crisis. Cut the population by 90% and there aren't enough people left to do a great deal of ecological damage."

-Mikhail Gorbachev

"We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."

-David Rockefeller, Baden-Baden, Germany 1991

"National Socialism will use its own revolution for establishing a new world order."

-Adolph Hitler during World War II

"Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government."

-Dr. Henry Kissinger, Bilderberger Conference, Evians, France, 1991

"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order."

"The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining supercapitalism and Communism under the same tent, all under their control.... Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent."

Is A Huge Bird Flu Outbreak Being Covered Up In China?

Rumors are circulating around the internet that the bird flu situation in China is much worse than has been reported, and now one Hong Kong official has come forward with a stunning new admission.

According to this official, "There’s no doubt there has been an outbreak, but the government has not admitted it."

In fact, one of the U.K.'s biggest papers is reporting that China is being accused of covering up a very large bird flu outbreak.

One other Chinese health official also stated recently that China was likely to experience "an epidemic" of human bird flu cases in the coming months.

This is getting frightening.

Another article on the Chinese bird flu situation has this headline: "China Fears Bird Flu Could Kill Thousands During Lunar New Year". That article described how medical experts now fear that bird flu could soon develop into a form that will cause a "pandemic that could kill millions of people worldwide."

Bird flu seems to become a bigger problem each year, and this year in particular it is hitting Asia really hard. In particular, India is on the verge of a bird flu panic as rumors of human to human bird flu transmission have also been spreading there.

Health authorities in Assam recently placed 300,000 people under surveillance in areas where the bird flu was spreading among poultry. Recent reports indicated that 150 people were suffering from fever and upper respiratory infections there.

The bird flu virus spread rapidly among poultry in six Assam districts. Authorities are claiming that the bird flu has now reached "epidemic" proportions among the birds of that area. More than 250,000 poultry have been slaughtered in Assam and an estimated 150,000 more birds were scheduled to be killed.

India had been hoping that the bird flu would be more under control this season. The World Health Organization described the January 2008 outbreak of the bird flu in neighboring West Bengal state, when more than 4 million birds were killed, as the worst bird flu outbreak ever in India.

However, it is not just India that is having massive problems with the bird flu. The disease is causing headlines all over Asia:

*Cambodia recently confirmed a new human case of the bird flu.

*Several weeks ago a hospital in Indonesia was overwhelmed when it admitted 17 patients believed to have bird flu in just 2 days.

*The government of Hong Kong recently shut down all chicken farms and markets, killed 80,000 chickens and halted chicken imports from mainland China after the bird flu virus was detected at a poultry farm there.

The bird flu is even popping up in the United States again. FoxNews is reporting that bird flu was recently found in a duck in the state of Rhode Island.

In addition, 60,000 turkeys were recently killed in British Columbia, Canada in an effort to stop the spread of the bird flu.

The truth is that the bird flu is as big of a threat as it ever has been. With all of humanity's technological advances, the reality is that a serious flu pandemic could still race across the earth and kill millions of us easily.

What will you do if a bird flu pandemic races across the world and millions start dying?

How do you think your neighbors will react?

Are you ready?

You better get ready.

The bird flu is coming.

The International Bankers Are Consolidating Their Grip On Us All

Most people believe that we are currently in a financial crisis. But this is not just a financial crisis. This is a financial consolidation - a high level financial war that will result in the Federal Reserve and the international bankers of the global elite having more power and more assets after it is all over.

This kind of consolidation has happened before. In 1815, Nathan Rothschild was able to learn the outcome of the Battle of Waterloo before anyone else in the financial community. When he started selling like mad, the financial community feared that Wellington had lost and they started selling too. The market completely went mad with selling. At the end of the day, Rothschild and his agents reversed course and bought up everything at dramatically reduced prices. Rothschild induced the panic so that he could buy up as much as he could and consolidate his power.

At the start of the Great Depression, the major banks turned off the flow of credit. All of a sudden nobody could get loans for anything, and the great credit bubble that fueled the prosperity of the 20s collapsed. The market tanked, and the value of homes, farms and businesses went through the floor. The bankers came along and bought up whatever they wanted for a song.

So now they tell us we are facing another "credit crunch" - yeah a manufactured one. For the past two years the Federal Reserve has been starting to constrict the money supply and banks have been beginning to reduce the flow of credit. Of course that was going to result in dominos starting to fall - especially in our overleveraged society.

One of the first dominos to fall was Bear Stearns - the last somewhat "independent" investment bank. Oh, the international bankers have wanted to get their hands on Bear Stearns for a long time. And they did just that when JP Morgan was able to scoop up the shattered remains of Bear Stearns for pennies on the dollar.

Next there was the whole Lehman Brothers debacle.

JP Morgan has been accused by Lehman Brothers of dealing the critical blow that forced Lehman Brothers to collapse. JP Morgan is alleged to have frozen $17 billion dollars of cash and securities belonging to Lehman Brothers on the Friday night before its failure. Lehman Brothers subsequently collapsed, and many of its assets have been sold to buyers including Barclays.

So let's review some of the consolidation that has been going on:

Bear Stearns - purchased by JP Morgan
Lehman Brothers - many of its assets have been sold to buyers including Barclays
Merrill Lynch - purchased by Bank of America
Washington Mutual - purchased by JP Morgan
Wachovia - Wells Fargo was able to wrestle it away from Citigroup

In addition, dozens of smaller banks have been forced to sell themselves to the big fish.

As if it wasn't enough that the international bankers crashed our financial system so that they could consolidate their power - now we are being told that we have to give them 100s of billions of dollars or else we'll have another Great Depression.

Actually the estimated cost of all of the bailouts so far is over 8 TRILLION dollars and counting.

Now Obama wants another 800 billion for another "stimulus" that will put the United States into even more debt.

The reality is that we have sold our children into an economic future of misery, where the best case scenario is that they work night and day for the rest of their lives to pay interest on that miserable debt.

And who is getting the benefit out of all this?

The international bankers who own the private Federal Reserve who make money whenever the U.S. government borrows money.

If you do not know that "The Federal Reserve" is a private bank owned by international bankers, then you need to watch this video:



Ultimately what is going to happen is that all of these "bailouts" paid for by borrowed money will cause the crash of the dollar.

We are going to see inflation folks.

Inflation far worse than they ever dreamed of in the 70s.

Big, bad, hairy inflation that will make your hair stand on end.

With this reckless spending by the federal government, the fate of the dollar is sealed.

So use those dollars while you can my friends.

Someday they won't be worth the paper they are printed on.

Are You Sure That You Know The Truth About Vaccines?

In a stunning admission, the BBC reported last year that 69 children in Nigeria caught polio from other children who had already been vaccinated.

The reality is that children or even adults who have been vaccinated can spread the disease they have been vaccinated against to others.

Years ago, Africans welcomed vaccination programs, but after seeing the results of such programs, Africans have become increasingly suspicious of them.

In 2003, Islamic leaders in Nigeria brought a temporary halt to a vaccine campaign because they claimed it was a Western conspiracy to sterilize Muslim women.

The truth is that countless women in Africa just happened to end up sterile after being vaccinated.

I wonder how that happened.

There have been mounting claims in Africa and in other third world nations that not only are the vaccines dangerous themselves, but that also sterilization agents and other questionable ingredients have been added to the vaccines by Western agencies. Many claim that the West is advancing other agendas such as population control through vaccination programs.

Meanwhile, there is a very vigorous anti-vaccine movement developing in the United States. Not only are adults getting sick and is some cases dying after taking vaccines, there is also a growing mountain of evidence that links childhood autism with vaccines. For more information we would encourage you to check out the links listed here:

So the next time someone wants to vaccinate you, perhaps you should ask some questions.

Meet The New Boss (Obama) - Same As The Old Boss (Bush)

When the American people voted in Barack Obama, they thought that they were voting in a huge change. But mostly things have not changed, and the scariest thing of all is that Obama is continuing some of the most horrifying aspects of the Bush presidency.

One thing that Americans should learn is that you can't trust the words of a politician. You have to watch and see what they do.

As Matthew 7:16 tells us.....

"Ye shall know them by their fruits"

So let's take a look at some of Obama's fruits so far and see how they compare with Bush.

First of all, the Los Angeles Times is reporting that Obama has actually issued an executive order authorizing the continued use of secret "renditions" by the CIA. If you don't know what a "rendition" is, that is when the CIA secretly grabs someone off the street anywhere in the world and takes that person to a secret prison where they are secretly "interrogated" and abused.

The European Parliament has called renditions "an illegal instrument used by the United States."

But apparently Obama sees no problem with them whatsoever.

Obama talks about getting back to "American" values, but when he continues the policies of George W. Bush, how is that "American"?

Let me ask you.....does this look "American" to you?:

http://www.antiwar.com/news/?articleid=2444

Well, what about the wars?

Wasn't Obama supposed to be the anti-war candidate?

Guess again.

In fact, Obama got started bombing other countries a lot faster than George W. Bush did when he became president.

It took Obama only three days after his inauguration before he started bombing Pakistan.

And yes, Obama is going to reduce the troop levels in Iraq a bit, but he is also going to DOUBLE the number of troops in Afghanistan.

Well, certainly Obama will do something about the horrific environmental hell that the U.S. military has created in Iraq and Afghanistan through the use of depleted uranium weapons, right?

Certainly any sane president would ban those weapons, wouldn't he?

Sorry.

The U.S. military continues to use those dirty weapons that are literally turning Iraq and Afghanistan into uninhabitable hellholes.

Will Obama change his mind?

Don't count on it.

The reality is that he answers to the same people that George W. Bush answered to.

If you were a big fan of President Bush, then you are likely to love President Obama.

But if you were hoping for "change" then you are out of luck I am afraid.

Population Control - The Sick Obsession Of The Global Elite

Almost every week there are comments by government officials in the western world that promote abortion, contraception, family size limits and other population control measures as ways to fight global warming.

The most recent shocking comments on population control have come from the U.K. government's "green guru".

The chair of the U.K. government's Sustainable Development Commission, Jonathon Porritt, says that parents who have more than two children are being “irresponsible” by creating an "unbearable" burden on the environment.

Porritt also says that curbing population growth through abortion and contraception are absolutely necessary in order to fight global warming.

When government officials begin talking of limits on family sizes it is time for alarm bells to go off.

The truth is that the freedom to marry and reproduce and to raise a family is one of the most cherished of all human freedoms.

But the global elite have become absolutely obsessed with population control, and their sick obsession is starting to reveal itself in society in a thousand different ways.

For most of human history, the thought of the government or anyone else restricting how many children one could have was absolutely unthinkable.

However, today there are many, particularly in the Western world, who are been convinced by government propaganda to willingly restrict their own reproductive capabilities.

One 27 year old woman named Toni Vernelli told the Daily Mail why she decided to get permanently sterilized: "Every person who is born uses more food, more water, more land, more fossil fuels, more trees and produces more rubbish, more pollution, more greenhouse gases, and adds to the problem of over-population."

Some activists have even gone to the extreme by forming "The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement" which seeks to reduce the presence of humanity on earth as much as possible.

Their motto is: “May we live long and die out”.

So is the ballooning population of planet earth a huge threat to the environment? Do we need to implement strict population controls for the good of mankind?

The reality is that the world has more people than it ever has had in all of recorded history. Some countries have implemented population laws that are quite strict (such as China's one child policy), while other nations do not have any population regulations yet. Lately, however, we have started to see some population control measures begin to pop up in the Western world.....

*Women in the Netherlands who are deemed by the state to be unfit mothers will be sentenced to take contraception for a period of two years, according to a new bill before the Dutch parliament.

*In the U.K., one influential think tank says that it is an "eco-crime" to have too many children and that we really need to examine the impact our large population is having on the earth.

*In South America, the government of Peru goes door to door pressuring women to be sterilized and they are funded by American tax dollars to do this.

The desire by the global elite to limit the population of the earth has been around for a long, long time. Between 1798-1826, English economist Thomas Malthus published six editions of his work entitled "Essay on the Principle of Population", which argued that population growth inevitably outstrips food production.

The primary argument advanced by Malthus was that the English working class was poor not because they were exploited, but rather because there were too many of them. Malthus opposed welfare and higher wages because he believed they would allow the poor to survive and breed, thus compounding the overpopulation problem and leading to more poverty. Of course Malthus was terribly wrong about all of this, but nonetheless his theories gained wide acceptance among the English elite of his day.

Many years later, Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, vigorously promoted this type of thinking in the United States. The following is one of Margaret Sanger's most famous quotes:

"The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it."

Unfortunately, the theories of Malthus, Sanger and other population control advocates did not die out. Rather, they seemed to gain steam as the population of the world absolutely exploded in the 20th century.

U.S. environmentalist Paul Erlich, in his 1968 book entitled "The Population Bomb", argued for very strict population control measures, especially in the poorer areas of the world. He warned that if we did not implement such measures we would be facing catastrophic problems very quickly.

Dr. Arne Schiotz, World Wildlife Fund Director of Conservation, said this in 1984:

"Malthus has been vindicated, reality is finally catching up with Malthus. The Third World is overpopulated, it’s an economic mess, and there’s no way they could get out of it with this fast-growing population. Our philosophy is: back to the village."

Unfortunately, the philosophies of Erlich, Schiotz and others have garnered a following even among powerful members of the United States government. Just check out the following shocking quotes.....

“There is a single theme behind all our work–we must reduce population levels. Either governments do it our way, through nice clean methods, or they will get the kinds of mess that we have in El Salvador, or in Iran or in Beirut. Population is a political problem. Once population is out of control, it requires authoritarian government, even fascism, to reduce it…."

“Our program in El Salvador didn’t work. The infrastructure was not there to support it. There were just too goddamned many people…. To really reduce population, quickly, you have to pull all the males into the fighting and you have to kill significant numbers of fertile age females…."

“The quickest way to reduce population is through famine, like in Africa, or through disease like the Black Death….”

–Thomas Ferguson, State Department Office of Population Affairs

The quotes above are typical of the mindset of the global elite. The call for radical population control has grown louder than ever before. College professors are given standing ovations by their students when they call for a 90 percent reduction in the human population of the planet. Ted Turner said, "A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal," and the global elite applauded him for it. The Georgia Guidestones which call for us to "maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature" are increasingly cited by our leaders as an important, and perhaps even necessary, goal.

What is happening to our world?

It seems as though for the global elite, every major crisis these days is an opportunity to further one of the key pillars of their agenda:

Population reduction.

Problem #1: Gas costs too much and we are faced with "global warming".

Answer: Get rid of a whole bunch of people and we will use less gas and we will produce less "greenhouse gases".

Problem #2: Medical costs are soaring out of control.

Answer: Get rid of a whole bunch of people and kill off the elderly and we will have fewer medical costs.

Now Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, has the perfect solution for the "food crisis":

Get rid of a whole bunch of people......

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article3908588.ece

The following is one of Prince Philip's most famous quotes about world population:

"You cannot keep a bigger flock of sheep than you are capable of feeding. In other words conservation may involve culling in order to keep a balance between the relative numbers in each species within any particular habitat. I realize this is a very touchy subject, but the fact remains that mankind is part of the living world…. Every new acre brought into cultivation means another acre denied to wild species."

Do you see how the global elite sees us?

As a "flock of sheep" that must be culled from time to time.

How sick is that?

Prince Philip, the "Eco-Warrior", also once said that he would like to come back to earth as a disease after he died to help reduce the human population.

But he is far from alone on this issue. The call for human depopulation is coming from a myriad of other sources:

John Guillebaud, professor of family planning at University College London has said: “The effect on the planet of having one child less is an order of magnitude greater than all these other things we might do, such as switching off lights. An extra child is the equivalent of a lot of flights across the planet."

He also made this shocking statement: “The greatest thing anyone in Britain could do to help the future of the planet would be to have one less child.”

Now there are influential think tanks in the United Kingdom that are even advocating that the U.K. adopt a "2 child" policy to help fight "global warming".

The Club of Rome certainly is clear about who they think the enemy is.....

"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill…. But in designating them as the enemy, we fall into the trap of mistaking symptoms for causes. All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself."

–Club of Rome, The First Global Revolution, 1991

Mikhail Gorbachev made the following stunning statement about the population of the earth: "We must speak more clearly about sexuality, contraception, about abortion, about values that control population, because the ecological crisis, in short, is the population crisis. Cut the population by 90% and there aren't enough people left to do a great deal of ecological damage."

The reality is that we are getting increasingly closer to the kind of world where the "useless eaters" that Henry Kissinger talked about will be "eliminated". Is this the kind of future that we want for us and our children?

The truth is that the world is not experiencing runaway population growth. While the earth's population is growing, the rate of growth is definitely slowing. The population of the world grew by 140% between 1950 and 2000. However, authorities predict a rise of only 50% between 2000 and 2050, and a rise of just 11% in the 50 years after that.

The truly frightening thing is that many of you who are reading this article actually agree with this radical depopulation agenda.

For those of you who do believe in such insanity, we would love to hear your rationale. Feel free to post a comment to this article below.
