The media and world bodies have generally ignored the Bahrain protests, making it difficult to know what is happening. Emails from an activist in Bahrain illuminate some of the occurrences and highlight how the struggle has grown from seeking equality in life to receiving a punishing death. It’s a sad and captivating story.
Apr 6

Dear Friends, Hope this email finds you well. To update you on recent events in Bahrain: Report by the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights: Thousands are subjected to dismissal of work as part of severe clampdown on all who joined or openly supported the protest movement. King's son says: No escape for opponents of his father:

Imperial interventions in civil wars have a devastating effect on countries that last for decades and affect the entire economy and society. One indicator of the long-term consequences of imperial military intervention is the tremendous increase of violent crime, the multiplication of gangs, homicides and general insecurity in Central America. Violence increased far beyond what existed prior to imperial wars in such countries as Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia. In the period prior to imperial intervention in Central America, during times of revolutionary ferment, high levels of social organization via inclusive social movements, channeled discontent into political and social channels. Revolutionary movements organized armed resistance against specifics targets; repressive police, military and death squad militias. Imperial intervention included military advisers and counter-insurgency strategies which uprooted peasants via scorched earth policies and destroyed communities. Assaults on urban barrios led to the break-up of family and neighborhood networks. The social bonds which integrate people into a moral and social community were ruptured: the goal of imperial planners is to decimate any independent popular civil-society organization as a political threat to its illegitimate collaborator regime.

A few hours ago, the Food and Drug Administration declared it no longer needs credible evidence to seize food that may be contaminated. Ignoring the Fourth Amendment entirely, the FDA claims that based on mere suspicion that a food product has been contaminated or mislabeled, and that serious illness or death will result, it can hold the food for 30 days while it then looks for evidence. It claims this power under the Food Safety Modernization Act, which President Obama signed in January.

On May 4th, the FDA stated:

“Previously, the FDA’s ability to detain food products applied only when the agency had credible evidence that a food product presented was contaminated or mislabeled in a way that presented a threat of serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals.

911 is without a doubt the most written about, analyzed, discussed, conspiracy in the history of mankind. Yes even the official story:

Nineteen fanatical Arab hijackers, masterminded by an evil genius named Osama bin Laden, crashed airplanes into important buildings in the N.E. sector in the United States because they “hate our freedoms”

Is a conspiracy between Osama Bin Laden (who isn’t even wanted by the FBI [1q]) and the Arab terrorists who the U.S. government claims hijacked planes and crashed them in to important buildings in the N.E. sector in the United States.

“Conspiracy” is a REAL word for a REAL act that has existed in human societies in all cultures throughout human history. If conspiracies did not exist, we would not have a word for it. The problem that we face today is that the US Government has arrogated to itself a singular role as a political pontificate that believes that it and its agents in the Justice Department, alone, constitute the only “person” (corporate person) on this Earth who is allowed to use the word “conspiracy” as it employs the charge of “conspiracy” every week in trials to put both guilty and innocent people in jail while deriding and discrediting all others who employ the word as “conspiracy theorists.” Paris Flammonde [2q]

There are inside, outside and even an outside inside-space story (conspiracy theory) about what really happened on 911.

Test your knowledge of the September 11, 2001 stories. See if you can spot the Terrorist Job (the story), The Inside Job (Global Domination) (the story behind the story), The Exotic Weapon story (another story behind the story) or The Metaphysical story (the story behind the story behind the story behind the story!).

Question 1. What really happened on September 11, 2001?
Option 1 - Nineteen fanatical Arab hijackers, masterminded by an evil genius named Osama bin Laden, crashed airplanes into the World Trade Center because they “hate our freedoms.”

Option 2 - The Bush administration was asleep at the switch and allowed nineteen fanatical Arab hijackers to kill 3,000 American citizens so they could pass the Patriot Act, build up the military and invade Afghanistan and Iraq (the LIHOP, Let it Happen on Purpose version). Or Bush, Cheney, and the Neocons killed 3,000 Americans so they could pass the Patriot Act, build up the military and invade Afghanistan and Iraq, (the MIHOP Made it Happen on Purpose version), AKA as an “Inside Job.” Conclusion: 9/11 was a Neocon Aka The Powers That Be (TPTB, a non-conspiracy acronym) “controlled demolition” Inside Job, like a New Pearl Harbor, http://www.newamericancentury.org. [3q]

That so many influential figures in and close to the Bush White House had expressed, just a year before the attacks, the need for a “new Pearl Harbor” before their militarist ambitions could be fulfilled, is so obviously meant to convince you it was an inside Job you would conclude the public statements, found at the PNAC website were planned [planted] by the CIA at the same time as the 911 Truth Movement. The THAT Coincidence Theorist’s Guide to 9/11

Dick, Donald, and Paul wanted to make quadruply sure that everyone believed 9/11 was a catastrophic and catalyzing event—the “transformation” of the U.S. military into an imperialistic force of global domination—so the Neocons put their plan on the PNAC website. There was concern that that no one would visit the site so Cheney came up with a brilliant plan: 9/11 would be the day the military would conduct a simulation of terrorist hijacking planes and flying them into important buildings in the N.E. sector of the United States (Vigilant Guardian). [4q]

The 9/11 Commission stumbled across strong evidence of treason by Dick Cheney when it interviewed Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta, who was present in Cheney’s famous command bunker as Flight 77 sped toward Washington, DC. [5q]

Option 3 - The Military Industrial Complex demonstrated a directed energy weapon (DEW) that, according to Dr. Judy Wood, used “an amazing advanced technology” as sort of a “Ha, ha you dummies, look what we have, that you want, but we won’t give you.”

Dr. Wood, former professor of mechanical engineering with expertise in material science, concludes the buildings were destroyed using some type of “field effect technology” related to the Hutchison Effect and the presence of Hurricane Erin.

However, if Dr. Wood were to be asked what would be the motive of the U.S. government to have tested/used a energy directed weapon on 9/11, she might respond:

“I am a scientist and don’t speculate as to why they did it. I am convinced they did use an energy weapon on 9/11 to bring down the Twin Towers.

But we have a choice. And this choice is real. Live happily ever after or destroy the planet. This is why I have been pursuing the issues of 9/11. These issues are central to it all. 9/11 was a demonstration of free-energy technology.

Option 4 - TPTB that include Bush, Cheney, and the Neocons, did knowingly, intentionally, willfully and maliciously conspire, combine and agree together to conduct a Metaphysical Catechism (Test) of the Earth.

TPTB, armed with the lost knowledge from the ancient world Atlantis, in a metaphysical struggle, were using humans to weaken the earth (until October of 2008) with environmental damage and pollution. The Question of Questions

“Environmental Damage and Pollution Are the Goal and Not the Unintended Consequence of Our Consumer (shopping) Society.” Dem Bones is Connected To De Debt Bone

It was the object of the conspiracy to determine if the earth was sufficiently weakened, so TPTB could take over and begin the transition to a One World Government and New World Order on 9/12. If you are not a familiar with the works of F.W. Engdahl and the reality of a New World Order conspiracy, visit the CIA controlled Globalresearch.ca website. [4b]

Corporate media manipulators love a big story they can hype, distort and falsify to attract large audiences, unaware they're getting managed news, not truth.

Moreover, the bigger the event, the worse the reporting, and no matter how often they're fooled, madding crowds rely on proved unreliable sources like US cable and broadcast TV, as well as corporate broadsheets and popular magazines publishing rubbish not fit to print.

After Obama's May day announcement, round-the-clock coverage now features "story one" ad nauseam, cheerleading the death of a dead man with no one allowed on to refute it.

A previous article did, accessed through the following link:

Beneath the Obama birth certificate hoopla lies a far deeper issue that the majority of Americans feel Obama is a fraud and a shill for Wall Street and the financial elite. Little has been done by Obama to dispel that mistrust and now even his recently disclosed birth certificate appears to be a fraud along with Bin Laden’s recent death.

President Obama can now finally claim he delivered on a promise with his public announcement four years ago that “We will kill Bin Laden” but it is common knowledge in intelligence circles that Bin Laden died in December, 2001 due to an untreated lung complication, the Pakistan Observer reported, citing a Taliban leader who allegedly attended the funeral of the Al Qaeda leader. Bin Laden, according to the source, was suffering from a serious lung complication and succumbed to the disease in mid-December, in the vicinity of the Tora Bora mountains. foxnews.com

There is no doubt that al-Qaeda represented a serious deviation from Islam which forbids targeting innocent people.

The killing of al-Qaeda Chief Osama Bin-Laden by US special forces in Pakistan is likely to have more of a short-term psychological impact than concrete long-lasting political ramifications.

While Bin-Laden's death will generate a lot of satisfaction in Washington, the low-intensity war between America and al-Qaeda will most probably intensify in ferocity.

So many people here in the US really believe they are special and they deserve to live better than the rest of the world, and that the USA is the only nation that has the authority to tell other nations and people what to do.

When I ask them where do they get that right, where is it written, where is the legal document, everyone of them say two things:

1) This country was founded on freedom by people who came here from another land.

2) We must spread that freedom to the whole world.

When I ask them to explain "Manifest Destiny", they can't.

(ROME-BELGRADE) NATO seems to find Serbia’s autonomy outrageous, its semi-neutrality unacceptable, its modernity anomalous and above all its path to progress dangerous. For North Atlantic Treaty planners and schemers, Serbia—maverick, outsider, rebel—is an infectious disease to be eradicated. Serbia must be chained, normalized and integrated with the rest of Europe as are most southeastern European lands. Serbia’s neutral existence is an affront, an obstacle to a final solution of the thorny Balkan conundrum.

What terrible threat does Serbia pose? One wonders. It seems that Serbia’ very existence is a threat to the New World Order. You just never know what those rebellious Southern Slavs will do next. Untamed, all they think about is enjoying life. Dancing and drinking, the Belgrade slogan. Belgrade, voted the world’s Number One Party City. Endless bars and cafés, its great rivers, the Danube and the Sava. Its blasting brass bands. Joyous Serbs, living the present, but not forgetting its recent brutal past.

In 1980, pioneer trends strategist Gerald Celente founded The Trends Research Institute. He also authored Trends 2000 and publishes quarterly Trends Journal updates, providing timely, comprehensive, accurate business, economic, political, social, technology, and other forecasts on "over 300 different trend categories."

His "1st Great War of the 21st Century" was just released, a comprehensive analysis discussed below, including facts like "(o)nly 45.4 percent of Americans had jobs in 2010, the lowest rate since 1983 and down from a 49.3 percent in 2000. Last year, just 66.8 percent of American men had jobs, the lowest on record."

Because of high unemployment and rising prices, especially affecting food, energy and healthcare, "the natives were more than just restless, they were in revolt." No longer believing rosy scenarios, "they took to the streets and manned the barricades," more abroad than at home.
