CONSPIRACIES ARE REAL!



CONSPIRACIES ARE REALLY, REALLY REAL!


The eroded Badlands of Font's Point, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, California is beautiful to look at, but the conspiratorial, planned erosion of our liberties is something entirely different! 
Indeed they are! It was Samuel Clemens, better known as "Mark Twain," who wrote fascinating tales about life on the Mississippi in the early days of our great land.  Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn and Pudd'n head Wilson are classics. But he was also known for his short stories and rather pointed commentaries. In the founding time period of the United States, conspiracies were the norm. No one questioned it, either! There were all kinds of intrigue involving the major powers of the day like Spain, France and England.
He commented on conspiracies, saying that they are plots hatched in secret, carried out in secret and denied openly because if the conspiracies would become known, the backlash would be enormous!
It was really embarrassing sometimes, for those who got caught! 
Today, it is common to not only deny their existence, but to refer to critics of anything as "Conspiracy Theorists" and so on. That way the subject can be buried without discussion! It is both a mindless and a deadly game!
Yet, if we look very carefully around us we will see evidence of conspiracies and agendas everywhere. Does it not seem strange that a Black President who claims that black people have been discriminated against, and that discrimination is wrong and illegal, is himself a discriminator against others? In 1978, the US Supreme Court rendered an opinion known as the BAKKE DECISION (https://www.britannica.com/event/Bakke-decision) in which they ruled that if discrimination is illegal, then reverse discrimination is illegal as well. Does that bother the monkey President? Not at all! It does not bother the monkey-press either, who are willing conspirators and participants! Honestly, when was the first time you ever read anything in the papers about the landmark Bakke Decision? It is NEVER mentioned anywhere!
Take a gander at our present election. That's what they call it, but it is a sideshow. It is common for the press to endorse one major candidate or the other! In this election, not one mainstream newspaper has endorsed Donald Trump! Why? And why are all of Hillary Clinton's crimes overlooked and Trump demonized like some kind of Komodo Dragon? Well, good people, it is a conspiracy of the most banal nature, no matter what the aristocrats say. The truth is, the establishment, which is run by a very small group of powerful people is scared absolutely "poop less" by the populist message that Donald Trump espouses. Whether he believes it or not, he a loudmouth who attracts attention and he is not afraid to tackle subjects that have been absolutely forbidden to discuss in the media! Is it any wonder that alternative media is thriving on the internet?
I could go on and on with hundreds of examples of modern day conspiracies. But you get the idea!
A good rule of thumb is to question everything! A famous man once said that to be informed, one needed to read newspapers. By the same token one needs to understand that by reading newspapers, one is MISINFORMED!
The elite in our land are destroyers of the middle class, and the sooner we realize that the easier it is to make good sound decisions for ourselves on a daily basis that will literally make our "deserts" bloom!

THE FEDERAL "DESERVE!"


THE FEDERAL DESERVE!


You may wonder at the title of this short article! The Federal Reserve System in the United States is a "Central Bank" that is 100% PRIVATELY owned. The list of their stockholders is mind boggling. It is not my intent here to rehash the public information readily available on the workings of what is known as "The Fed!"
I just simply point out that the "Federal Deserve" does what they do because they simply think they are the "Masters of the Economic Universe," and that they DESERVE all the benefits that accrue therefrom!
One of the publicly stated goals of the "Deserve" is to maintain "full employment" while at the same time assuring growth of the economy and maintaining an "inflation rate of 2%!" How lovely! First, full employment is not possible to achieve by this organization. Only when the market economy is doing well, can such an idea be realized. Second, they make it sound like 2% inflation is both necessary and desirable. But if you do the math, over a decade of 2% inflation translates into a very significant loss of purchasing power of the Dollar. Everything gets more expensive!
So, the real purpose of the "Deserve," is to maintain control while constantly depreciating the value of the Dollar, and at the same time creating maximum confusion for the average "Joe," whose mind is often occupied with social media and other unimportant things. Many times, he is not much more productive or brighter than a wet paper bag full of oranges!
Lately, with the economy in the tank, the Baltic Dry Index at depression area lows, the Railroad Index in the same bathtub, and shipping conglomerates like Hanjin going bankrupt, it is obvious something is not right. But the "talking heads" are constantly yapping about how "great" things are!

     Over the past several months, Central Bankers in the United States (translate private bankers) have been “goosing the markets” by making the most childish, contradictory, and utterly mindless comments. Are they just stupid, or are they trying to confuse us? Anyone with a modicum of sense, knows the Dollar has been “on the skids” for a 100 years. “Trends in motion” are likely to stay in motion, regardless of what the “clowns” are saying. So, what is the point?

     Well, Janet Yellen, the thoroughly incompetent Fed Chair, indicated at the Jackson Hole Symposium in August 2016 that interest rates were not likely to go up. Almost immediately Fisher, another “Fed Head” came out and “contradicted” his boss! Not too long after that, a series of “Fed Heads” talked out of both sides of their mouths on the subject of raising interest rates! The markets have been going crazy “trying to figure out” where the Fed is “headed.” Anyone who reads economic statistics on a regular basis, can easily conclude that things are not rosy in “River City!” So, the only outcome here can only be to give people false hopes, and prevent them from thinking clearly and acting rationally for themselves.

     Here is a chart of the PROBABILITY of rate hikes over the past few months! Anybody want to play a game called CONFUSION?? There is NO confusion. It is all a game of smoke and mirrors. Nothing will change. Dollar destruction will continue! Count on it, regardless of what the “talking heads” have to say!

 The above chart of the "Probabilities of a Rate Hike" shows the degree of unnecessary confusion intentionally sowed by members of the Fed Boards across the United States!

I have displayed the source of the chart itself for those of you readers who may want to explore the idea more thoroughly. Yes, good people, we truly do live in "interesting times!" I would just point out that this sort of stuff has happened before in the United States, and for that matter, in other "civilizations" in the world. The road to "Third World" status is paved with rotten intentions and well-scripted economic ruin.

"MUGABE MUST GO!"



"MUGABE MUST GO!"

Fearless young Zimbabweans face up to world's oldest leader. 

So headlines a CNN video and picture report dated September 14, 2016. Here is the link you can copy and paste into your browser:

 http://edition.cnn.com/2016/09/13/africa/zimbabwe-protests-robert-mugabe-rebellion/index.html

 Communist Dictator Robert Mugabe

Why now, CNN? For years CNN has, like so many other news organizations in the United States, ignored the problems of Zimbabwe. After all, the economic disaster there must not be trumpeted too loudly! We also need to remember it was THE WEST THAT WANTED MUGABE in power, not the peoples (tribes) of the country! The West, and the West alone bears 100% liability for the trashing of Rhodesia! President George Bush was perhaps the biggest promoter of Mugabe, gushing his praise for the bloodthirsty savage! Oh, I know, we recently heard about "Cecil the Lion" and that created a hysteria against a Minneapolis, Minnesota dentist who traveled to Zimbabwe and shot the lion by mistake. But beyond that, little of the real problems or their cause in Zimbabwe is mentioned.

In 1980 Rhodesia was a prosperous WHITE RUN country with no debt, a sound agricultural economy that was a magnet for blacks in Africa who wanted a better job and a better life. All that ended when White Traitor Ian Smith literally turned over the reins of government to an incompetent black tribalist Communist dictator  named Robert Mugabe. I have penned several articles on this blog about the matter, and also included BBC articles on the recent bald-faced stealing of a White Farmer's tobacco lands and giving them without compensation to a black doctor who reportedly practices in England. See previous posts.......


In those posts I have highlighted and featured my own personal sources from a Zulu friend in South Africa: pictures of Mugabe and his palace in Harare, the nation's capitol. Mugabe lives in opulent splendor while the people starve!

 

I also penned an article published in THE BARNES REVIEW history magazine called the RUINATION OF A NATION, which is posted here on my blog.


Now, for some reason, CNN has made a featured article with a video interview of people in Zimbabwe who are openly resisting Robert Mugabe and his thugs. The pictures featured on CNN show opposition people with shirts emblazoned with the Slogan MUGABE MUST GO! Are we being treated to another orchestrated removal of the tyrant, or is this the real thing? Only time will tell for sure.

Meetings held in Private Homes according to CNN

When asked if they fear for their lives, most opposition people agree that is possible that they can be beaten and or murdered by Mugabe's own troops, who up to now have been loyal to him. However, even that is not to be taken for granted anymore, if the CNN report is to be believed.

Heavily armed Police and Military In Zimbabwe

It will be interesting to see what develops. Does the indigenous population (the multiple tribes) of Zimbabwe have the courage, commitment and ability to get rid of this can of worms? Or will one set of bad government be replaced by something worse? Or even worse yet, is this just another orchestrated attempt to make some changes in the country through outside intervention?  The question is a valid one!

ZUCKERBERG, THE CENSOR!


ZUCKERBERG, THE CENSOR!

(The following story has been updated!)

It is no secret anymore that almost all American "mainstream" media is in Jewish hands. They have an agenda, censor what they want, ignore what they don't like, and often bash anyone who disagrees. 

As Facebook's, CEO, Mark Zuckerberg is both Jewish and a very powerful censor with deep connections. He has been caught in a number of embarrassing positions of late. In an earlier blog, I noted that he bought property in Hawaii where he built a wall around it. He also was quick to blast Presidential Candidate Donald Trump for wanting "to build a wall" to keep out illegal aliens along our southern border. He suggested we needed to be more accommodating than that! I further noted what a hypocrite "Zuckie" is. One set of rules for him, another for Trump.

Now, it seems he has the Norwegian Newspaper AFTENPOSTEN in a ditherm because he censored THEM! AFTENPOSTEN is the largest daily paper in Norway, published continuously for more than 120 years! They posted an iconic image from the Vietnam War that has become known as the NAPALM GIRL. It shows a naked girl and other children fleeing in terror from napalm drops by US Forces. It also shows US Soldiers in the background.


The following quotation is taken from the  CNN link which you can copy and paste into your browser:

http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/09/technology/facebook-censorship-vietnam-war-photo/index.html


The editor of a top Norwegian newspaper on Thursday addressed an open letter to Zuckerberg saying he was "upset, disappointed -- well, in fact even afraid" over the impact of Facebook algorithms on media freedom.

Espen Egil Hansen said his newspaper, Aftenposten, received a demand from Facebook on Wednesday to remove the iconic Vietnam War photo of a naked girl fleeing a napalm attack.
"Less than 24 hours after the email was sent, and before I had time to give my response, you intervened yourselves and deleted the article as well as the image from Aftenposten's Facebook page," Hansen wrote.

Presumably, Facebook feels this is pornographic. Nonsense. It is simply an image that galvanized public opinion very much against the Vietnam War at the time, and was listed on AFTENPOSTEN'S website as a news image. It is done for the same reason here. There is nothing pornographic about it. The girl, now grown up and living in Canada, gave an interesting interview sometime back. It can be found here by copying and pasting into your browser:

http://edition.cnn.com/2015/06/22/world/kim-phuc-where-is-she-now/?iid=EL

According to this article on CNN, she made the following comments:
She began to think about what the photograph could give, rather than what it could take away.
Eventually, the photo became much more than a depiction of a moment in time to Phuc -- it became what she calls "a path to peace."
"I realized that if I couldn't escape that picture, I wanted to go back to work with that picture for peace. And that is my choice."
'I can work with that picture for peace'
 
In her interview, which was described as a lesson in forgiveness was featured by CNN. CNN has its own problems with censorship and what it chooses to report as news, but in this case, the report is/was accurate! 

Mark Zuckerberg is, in my estimation, an idiot to allow himself to get into these kinds of situations. He is simply doing what comes natural to many of his kind.  But, idiot or not, his goal is the same as many of his tribe, and that is to censor anything he disagrees with. The only justification for his action is that it is part of a plan to keep people "in line" with respect to what they think and say. It is a bald-faced violation of First Amendment Rights of people in the United States. He even has gone so far as to suggest that Facebook will decide what is news and what is "false news." Maybe what "Zuckie" needs to do is to move to a country where censorship is a way of life. He has no business here! I also have a solid reason to suspect, that an image posted to MY Facebook account by an outside party, was removed. The outside party tells me he he did not remove it. Since I did not either; that leaves Facebook with egg on its face!

REQUIEM FOR A BIRCH TREE!



REQUIEM FOR A BIRCH TREE!

Mother Nature has her own ways! Sometimes she is a sight to behold, other times she can be a real beast. Country living means an opportunity to interact with the environment in many ways. Some are pleasant to the senses. Others, clearly are not! 

We have had a Birch Tree that has graced our place for many decades. In fairness, she had close company of other birches as well. She was always a pleasure to watch. In springtime, she would break out with the most beautiful leaf displays.... And the morning sun always seemed to bring out the best in colors and contrasts....


In the fall she would put on the most gorgeous colors of that season, and if we did not get any freak, cold storms, the intense colors would last and last..... Each year the tree grew in size and scope. It seemed the colors just got better and better with the passing of time... As it grew, it became more and more spindly with its crown higher and higher until the tree measured almost 120 feet....


But....such grand and glorious things were not to last! There comes time in every trees life when it, too, must fall... and she did, with a resounding crash that sounded like a bomb going off as it hit the ground. It was the end of the line for Old Lady Birch!

The storm that finally took her out was a freak one that originated in the Prairie Provinces of Canada, coming in with a late August blast that changed the entire makeup of the area. It is more usual that such storms occur in the winter when trees are not so likely to be destroyed. In summer, with all the heavy foliage,  trees are truly vulnerable. She wasn't the only tree to go. As the intense down-canyon winds of 70 to 100 MPH continued relentlessly, trees bent like matchsticks....going, going...and gone!

 They fell like dominoes, blocking roads, taking out many a fence, sheds and even slitting the covering on greenhouses. In short, it made a mess......



It was dangerous to be out and about as debris was flying everywhere, and snapping branches and trees were a threat to life and limb. Even houses were not spared, as windows oscillated, woodwork groaned and siding was damaged.


In some places, entire groves disappeared in the murderous winds.....



An examination of the ground around the Birch Tree after it was all over, makes it obvious why she went down. She was too tall, too heavy with foliage, and the root-wad, while some twenty feet in diameter, sat on a bed of rocks! The bed made it tougher to anchor the heavy frame as the years went by! The Old Lady is just a memory now. She may make some firewood or a bonfire at some point, but the pictures tell the story of the life-cycle of a Grand Olde Dame!

CONTRAILS


CONTRAILS, 
A "CON" OR A REALITY?
(Notice updates at the end of this story!)

 
CONTRAILS!
Folks, these graphic photographs were taken this morning looking east  (8 August 2016) beginning at 10:15 Pacific Daylight Time, and ending about 30 minutes later. Photographs show a CONTRAIL (not a normal jet vapor-trail) being spewed out by an aerial sprayer and gradually expanding and drifting over a huge area. The aircraft was flying a west to east pattern over Eastern Washington, the Panhandle of Idaho and Western Montana. It has been a while since I have seen these in our area. Normally, they run checkerboard patterns in the sky. This one was just ONE single trail. After 90 minutes, it looks just like a normal cirrus cloud. Eventually it all drifts to earth. The question is, why is this not talked about openly, and what in the world is the make-up of the sprayed materials?? If you sometimes wonder why you don't feel well from time to time, and for no apparent reason, here is a possible culprit. But don't complain to the "authorities," they will call you a CONSPIRACY NUT! The pictures, however, speak for themselves! There is nothing NUTTY about them!

This is not something new, but rather has been going on for some time throughout much of the so-called civilized world. There are those who have done some research and allege these are dangerous materials that have a massive negative environmental impact. That means people as well as animals, plus the general environment, may be at risk.


These two photographs were taken a few minutes apart. The view is to the south from the same location as our first montage shown above. The difference here is that we have cirrus clouds as well. But the checkerboard pattern is being started. It can be seen in the second photograph, how the upper air is moving, and pushing along the clouds as well as the con-trails. As each trail is added, it covers an entire state and more! Both photographs taken at 9AM PDT        16 October 2015.


I have personally seen the spraying so dense and so bad in checkerboard fashion that it left an entire state or more in a fog that gradually settles to earth. What its purpose is, I can only guess at. The concern is, that when someone tries to ask questions, there is nothing but denials, silence and many times name-calling. Nothing new there; why the mystery?? What is being hidden from the public at large? There are reports that lawsuits are in the making. We shall see what develops, if anything.


Here is a vertical view taken from the same location, showing the results of the spraying. If one is not paying attention, the whole matrix disappears into the cirrus clouds, and is lost. But once noticed, it is very obvious. This photograph also taken on              16 October 2015 at 9AM PDT.
The main thing is to be aware of the problem, observe and document it. The pictures here are graphic. This is not some nut job making silly claims, these are obvious developments. The more questions that are raised, the more likely that this matter will be openly talked about, and maybe something will eventually be done about it. Certainly, everyone is due an explanation!

*  *  *  *

The Following is Posted 16 August 2016:

.
This is ONE set of Contrails. The left photograph is simply the LEFT half of the trails. The Blue Arrows show the obvious point of overlap. These were taken about 5 PM PDT on 16 August 2016. The view is to the north.


This photograph was taken at 5:15 PM the same afternoon, showing the dissipation pattern, and also showing a tendency to look like High Thin Clouds! In one hour after the first photograph was taken, all that could be seen was a high thin overcast! 



These photographs were captured more by chance than anything. The Red Circles show the same sky area. The enlarged right photograph features the plane itself, making another pass across the same area as an hour earlier. The left photograph, taken a few minutes after, shows the pattern in relation to the ground. These were taken about 6 PM PDT 16 August 2016, again looking north.

If these developments are not followed from the start, they become hidden from view as time marches on. The current spraying sequence has now lasted several days. I have not been able to show all the spraying because it goes on at different times, and is not always caught at the beginning! Here, however, the contrasts are perfect, so it is easy to demonstrate. In other lighting situations it is harder to spot and document. All photographs displayed here were taken from the same location.

This post is added on 19 August 2016:

It seems that the Powers That Be are increasingly worried that people are catching on to a spraying program designed to completely control planet Earth.  The New York Times is reporting that  an article from many scientists is poo-pooing any public concern that contrails may be a problem. The article is published in a closed forum known as ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH LETTERS.
It is a quarterly, peer-reviewed, open-access, electronic "scientific journal" covering all aspects of "environmental science." They insist that there is no secret program involved. However, they also make no claims regarding its safety. 


Here is a  book that has other ideas, for those interested in many aspects of the controversy. It is readily available on the internet.

THE CLINTON PUZZLE!


THE CLINTON PUZZLE


RED SKIES IN THE MORNING,
THE CLINTON'S TAKE WARNING?!

Ever since Victor Thorn first published his Trilogy on the Clinton Mob, it seems that more and more uncomfortable material about Hillary Clinton keeps surfacing. The death of Thorn will always be a "thorn-in- the-side" of many of us who are not beyond wondering whether he really did take his own life. There are unconfirmed reports circulating, that Thorn "prepared" for his "exit" from this world by closing accounts and settling his affairs. That gives rise to speculation he was murdered, that his death was a carefully and professionally staged suicide. But, since his brother has sincerely and eloquently denied there was any foul play, it is necessary to respect his view.
All that being said and done, there are pictures floating around on the internet showing Hillary Clinton is physically ill, that she has trouble walking up steps by herself, and has to be assisted. The last time we had a really sick president was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who suffered from polio. The press at the time kept the secret from the American people. He was always photographed standing or sitting, never, of course, walking! It was not until this last year, that CNN actually did a piece on that. Nothing like waiting 70 or so years to report the facts! Likewise, the kept press is not reporting Hillary's current problems.
To make matters even more interesting, is an article recently written by Mike Savage called "A Man of Courage is a Man of his Word." It is a dissertation on why FBI head Comey refused to prosecute Hillary Clinton regarding her email scandal. He reports that FBI agents are livid over the refusal to prosecute. They may not have had an iron-clad case, but a believable case that should have at least gone to trial. It is a given that Hillary Clinton is the choice of the elite in this world, and that all stops are taken out to see to it that she "wins." 
Consequently, her husband Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch, the Attorney General, pressured Comey to drop the charges! He was told that if he prosecuted and lost, that he, Comey, would be prosecuted for interfering in a federal election, because the Democratic candidate would have to be withdrawn from the election, and they would see to it that he could be put away for life! That is raw blackmail, which is also a crime, but it goes to show how far these corrupt morons will go to have their way! 
Hillary's statements to the FBI were reportedly made without a court reporter present, so Congress and others would never have a record of what she said, hence she could never be prosecuted for Lying or Obstruction of Justice or False Testimony!    
This whole matter is what people in the legal community call "Straw Man Prosecution." It involves accusing someone of a crime they cannot prove instead of prosecuting a crime that has a better chance of conviction! It is commonly used to make it appear someone is really innocent (or not guilty), when in fact they most certainly are! This sort of stuff is morally and legally wrong, but it is somewhat of a common practice! Compare her prosecution with the way the Edward Snowden Case is handled and you get the idea that this very highly selective non-prosecution!
Savage points out that if Hillary had been charged with "Destruction of Government Documents," she might have been convicted because she admitted it. Instead, she was charged with "Mishandling Government Documents," which of course, means that proving intent is much more difficult! Naturally and logically, Comey declined to prosecute! This is an example of prosecution-games that are being played on a regular basis! 
The article by Mike Savage to which I refer here was posted to the Miles-Franklin Newsletter and released by email 8 August 2016. Miles Franklin, as a matter of interest, is a precious metals dealer in Minnesota who has been in business for decades, and their letters often include very interesting, informative, sometimes provocative materials on finance and politics. I have no financial or other connections with Miles-Franklin, either now or in the past, and purely cite them as source material for this story!
