Nuclear Contamination

USS Ronald Reagan and USS Essex were directly off the coast of Japan when the Fukashima disaster happened and were showered by a plume of radioactive fallout.  Now mamy sailers are suing TEPCO for strange cancers and illnesses they attribute to the exposure. I remember the USS Reagan and Essex possition being reported at the time and feeling like the sailors on the USS Reagan and Essex were bring used in some sort of military nuclear experiment.

The sailors aboard these 2 ships cleaned the decks and likely ingested contaminated water and food. US Military officials say they made no attempt to move the ships out of the plume immediately or limit exposure because their nuclear detection equipment was inoperative.  

However, this excuse seems very improbable considering how the USS Ronald Reagan is a nuclear powered aircraft carrier. All nuclear reactors have nuclear physics personnel  who have callibrated equipment to measure any exposure and contamination of the ship and crew.

We know the USS Ronald Reagan and Essex were contaminated because several ports refused to allow these ships to enter their port.  The personnel were forced to hang out for several months our at sea.   On the bright side, of the 4000-member-crew, only 70 are sick so far. Those with strong immune systems resisted the exposure. 

Nuclear Generals Fired

(Pantex US nuclear warhead assembly)

Air Force Maj. Gen Michael Carey and Naval Vice-Admiral Tim Giardana are 2 of the top commanders over the US nuclear  arsenal. In September 2013, someone from Dyess Air Force base called the Alex Jones show and reported a very irregular nuclear warhead transfer from Dyess AFB to South Carolina. At that same time we have SC Senator Lindsey Graham threaten that if the US didn't to war with Syria; terrorists with nuclear weapons could attack Charleston harbor.  Kind of an oddly paranoid statement to make.

Employees from Dyess AFB (Abilene, Tx) denied that any warheads were stored there. However, Pantex is the the only US warhead assembly/disassembly plant located not too far away (Amarillo, Tx), it is plausible that warheads were stored at Dyess.

Then on October 2013 we have the Obama administration who has already sacked numerous high level military brass, sack 2 generals in charge of the US nuclear arsenal for 1. getting drunk on a trip to Russia and 2. gambling.

Infowars adds to the story about the 2 sacked nuclear generals.  I find the circumstances of the firing to be very strange.  Also, that the reasons were publicized by the media to be even more strange.  I'm not sure these 2 disgraced generals were allowed to make any public statements.  Anyways, Infowars claims these 2 generals actually foiled a nuclear false flag attack and the sacking was done as retribution.  

I don't know if this tall tale is true but I think there are more irregularities on the government side of the story than the Infowar side.

Metabolic Manipulation: Alternative Cancer Treatment Paradigm

Up to now, traditional cancer treatment involves a cocktail of super-expensive cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs that target rapidly dividing cells. The aim of our current treatment strategy is to give the patient just the right dose of poison that will kill the cancer but not the patient. With only a few exceptions, the focus on most cancer treatments has been to target rapidly dividing cells by directly damaging DNA (cisplatin, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide), indirectly damaging DNA (MTX, 5-FU), inhibiting DNA repair enzymes (etoposide), or by targeting key enzymes necessary for cellular division (paclitaxel, vincristin). The problem with this paradigm is that this selective killing isn't selective enough. However, this strategy is not the only one out there.

Another promising paradigm for cancer treatment would be to focus on the manipulation of metabolic pathways of cancer cells. Scientists are discovering that cancer cell metabolic pathways may be unique or at least more limited than normal cells. And it is these metabolic limitations that could be exploited. First off, we know that all cells in the body can generate energy using several anaerobic and aerobic mechanisms. These metabolic pathways include: anaerobic glycolysis, aerobic respiration (TCA cycle), oxidative phosphorylation, lipolysis (ketogenic), and gluconeogenesis,

One of the first identified biochemical hallmarks of tumor cells was a shift in glucose metabolism from aerobic oxidative phosphorylation to anaerobic glycolysis (the "Warburg effect" or "Warburg hypothesis"). Now, scientists have revealed that cancer cellular functions and growth are primarily dependent upon the anaerobic metabolism of glucose, fructose and lipid (lypolysis). Aerobic respiration via the TCA-cycle and Oxidative phosphorylation is very complex and requires intact mitochondria. Because of that complexity, mutated cancer cells can rarely depend on aerobic metabolism for energy. Instead, they rely primarily on the much simpler anaerobic glycolysis; using glucose and fructose as fuel. Otto Warburg, 1931 Nobel Laureate, was first to measure and explain the mechanisms behind the large amounts of lactic acid produced by cancer cells.

However, when glucose levels are low, cancer cells are in a pinch. They can't do aerobic respiration, so lacking glucose, they instead turn to ketogenic lipolysis for energy. But cancer cells have the complex machinery needed to transport lipids into the cell. Instead, in a low glucose environment, they use their damaged oxidative phosphorylation pathway and other pathways to generate high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These ROS are then secreted into the cells microenvironment where they damage nearby cells. In this way, cancer cells begin to parasitize nearby cells and literally eat their host alive.

New studies suggest that cancer cells may not generate ROS themselves, but instead, reprogram neighboring stromal fibroblast cells to generate high amounts of ROS for them. The ROS then damage neighboring cells resulting in lipid peroxidation, and the production of lactate, and ketones which the cancer cells can use for energy. Through this mechanism, tumors do not need much of a blood supply. Understanding how cancer cells metabolize energy, we can now develop new strategies to kill them.

Together, the medicines, herbs, and vitamins listed above should do two things. First, a low-fructose diet together with Metformin and DCA will serve to inhibit both gluconeogenesis and anerobic glycolysis and force cancer cells into lipolysis. While we want the force the cancer into a ketogenic state, a ketogenic diet and dehydration are discouraged because scientists believe that cancer cells may thrive on lactic acid and ketones. That said, this first strategy should force the cancer cells to depend primarily on lipolysis for energy.

Next, iron chelation is added to inhibit ROS formation. Antioxidants like Vitamin C, E, Co-enzyme Q10, and Cumin are added to prevent remaining ROS oxidative damage to surrounding tissues. Also, anti-inflammatory and immune modulating agents such as aspirin, cimetidine could be added to reduce inflammation and boost cellular and humeral immunity. All together, cancer cells should not be left with any alternative energy alternatives. Then, at that point, cancer cells would turn cannibalistic and should undergo autophagy.

The hope is that a paradigm focused on metabolic manipulation, will be not only more effective at curing cancer, but will avoid the terrible side effects of traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy. However, until this new paradigm is proven, it will most likely be necessary to test this new paradigm in between rounds of traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy.


Metabolic Manipulation: A New Cancer Treatment Paradigm

Mebendazole:  tubulin disrupting agent  induces apoptosis via Bcl-2 inactivation in chemoresistant melanoma cells.  Healthy melanocytes were unaffected.

Aspirin: inhibits the activation of a transcription factor that leads to cancer cell growth and inflammatory response (via cytokines IL-1 and IL-6).

Cimetidine: prevents histamine binding and indirectly enhances local anti-tumor response via IL-18 signaling to the immune system's natural killer and T cells.

Dichloracetate (DCA): DCA inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK), an inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase, a key enzyme in glucose metabolism. DCA blocks anerobic glucose metabolism in cancer cells from glycolysis inducing apoptosis. [orphan drug used to treat lactic acidosis].

DCA in doses over 25 mg/kg can cause demyelination and peripheral neuropathy by oxidative stress. However, taking adequate antioxidants like ellagic acid can prevent this side effect.

Ellagic acid is an antioxidant found in blackberries, cranberries, pecans, pomegranates, raspberries, strawberries, walnuts, wolfberry and grapes.  Ellagic acid prevents the demyelination side-effect from DCA allowing patients to take higher effective doses.

Metformin: suppresses the AMPK/mTOR/S6K1 axis and several protein kinases. Metformin may also specifically target the cancer-initiating stem cells, thereby preventing cancer relapse when used in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy (dandelion root hypothesis). [Beware Cimetidine and Metformin are secreted by the same cation pump in renal tubules]

Low Fructose Diet: Pancreatic cancers use the sugar fructose to activate a key cellular pathway that drives cell division

Black Cumin Seed: Nigella sativa oil containing thymoquinone has been demonstrated to reduce the growth and size of tumors in rats.

Co-Enzyme Q10:
 (Ubiquinone) lipid soluble antioxidant that stimulates the immune system leading to higher antibody levels, greater numbers and/or activities of macrophages and T cells and increased resistance to infection.

MitoQ: Ubiquinone-based antioxidant that concentrates in mitochondria.

Vitamin C and NAC: both human lymphoma or human liver cancer cells which produce high levels of free radicals were suppressed with these antioxidants in a DNA damage independent mechanism. Researchers believe that the antioxidants destabilizing a tumor's ability to grow under oxygen-starved conditions.

Desferrioxamine: iron chelator that binds iron and limits a key limiting metabolite needed for tumor growth. High iron levels also inhibit the immune system.

Perfect Economic Storm

Several major economic factors are now beginning to converge into what could become a perfect economic storm.  Let me try an list them.

1. Woodrow Wilson in 1913 signs the Federal Reserve Act giving a private central bank control over US currency and credit that the US Constitution says is the job of Congress.

2. Private Federal Reserve Bank (FED) raised interest rates and constructed money supply causing the Great Depression but blamed the depression on the Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act.

3. Both American political parties abandons tariffs and protectionist economic policies, sign NAFTA and GAD, and begin exporting jobs and industry to China.

4. Bank of International Settlement Basil 1 Accords raised reserve requirements on Japan causing the "Lost Decade" in the 1990's

5. Bank of International Settlement Basil 2 Accords raised reserve requirements in 2007 triggering the housing collapse.

6. Bank of International Settlement Basil 3 Accords will raise reserve requirements again and will imcrease liquidity requirements that may effect and eliminate the inter-bank REPO lending market. Basil 3 was supposed to be implemented Jan 1, 2013 but has not yet been implimented.

7. ObamaCare greatly ncreases the cost of healthcare which will both decease the money supply and money velocity (circulation) in the economy.

8. FED may begin to decrease Quantitative Easing and begin to increase interest rates.  This will affect the intra-bank REPO interest rate and may cause banks to become insolvent.

9. Banks keep a fractional reserve to handle day-to-day business.  They don't like to hold cash in reserves because of inflation.  So, they usually hold bonds but increasingly credit-default swaps. Banks borror from each other when they need cash using the LIBOR or REPO market.  

10. Banks also borrow cash from each other on the REPO market using US bonds as collateral so they can invest in other more speculative and risky investments that earn more than US bonds.

11. US Banks are also highly invested in credit-default swap derivatives which are Bond insurance policies. Bond Insurance derivatives are paying a better return than US Bonds.  Monthly insurance premiums are divided up and paid out to credit-default swap holders.

12.  If the US ever stops QE printing and cannot sell its bonds to float its deficit spending and cannot pay the interest on its national debt, then the bond insurance holders (US Banks) have to pay.  Instead of a bailout, banks may conduct a Cypress-style bail-in and could confiscate money out of private segregated accounts.

13. Chinese Middle class is forbidden from investing outside their country and are invested in Chinese real estate.  China has been building 12-24 ghost cities each year.  Some see this as a huge housing bubble ready to collapse.  Others say it takes several years to sell the housing but they are selling. 

14. If there were to be a Chinese housing collapse, it would be 10x worse than the US and affect global markets x10.  However, unlike the US, China does have the demographics to keep pace with the building.

15. Or the US could just continue to QE print and China could just continue to build ghost cities until WW3 and we could all just wipe the slate clean and start over.

Safety Society System: Money for Labor

The connection of money being a fungible proxy for labor is a great realization and gets to the heart of how to fix our economic system. Anyone can tell our current Private Central Banking Controlled system is corrupt but not many can say what to replace it with.

Capitalism is NOT free market. Capitalism vs. Communism is a false dichotomy. Satan knows humans love to take sides.  See how easy the Russian Communists party members divided up Russian assets and became Russian Capitalists? Capitalism gives unelected economic power to those with the capital. And NO we did NOT vote with our dollar.  Also, there are no capitalist term limits. 

We need an economic system that is Constitutional and Free Market without the need for the Capitalists to decide what they will invest in or what they will short.  Problem is that the US adopted European Fractional reserve banking and didn't even follow our own Constitution.  Another false dichotomy is that we would rather have the Capitalist decide what to invest in than the government.  How about an economic system that lets the people decide?

Gold is not a viable system by itself because there never is enough gold to grease the economic engine.  This has led countries to attack their neighbors (Rome), to get more gold.  Especially when a country has a trade deficit with China.  In more recent history, countries like Great Britian have flooded other countries with drugs to drain it of its gold reserves (Opium Wars). 

What happens now is the US pays the Private Federal Reserve to print our currency. Every dollar is linked to the sale of a bond.  So, every dollar really is a certificate of debt that must be repaid with interest.  When the FED just prints money without selling a bond it devalues the currency and causes inflation that  is a hidden tax on the value of our savings.  Inflation is just like a Cyprus-style bail-in where the government goes into your private segregated account and takes 15%. In the fiat system we pay either way. If we sell bond we owe interest to the bond holder, if the FED just prints, our dollars are devalued by inflation which is a hidden tax.  It's a lose-lose system.

It is unbelieve how our fiat fractional reserve system works today.  When FED-member banks borrow $100 from the FED at prime interest rate (currently 0%), they can then lend 10 x the money or $1000 out to the people at 6% compounded interest.  After all is repaid, that is the creation of $2000 for $100.  The FED-member bank just repays the original $100 or 200$ if there is some interest.  If the FED loan is more highly leaveraged through derivatives investment, that $100 can create $10,000 in fiat money.  This is called the money multiplier.

You realize if a FED-member bank borrows $100 from the FED for free at 0% and then buys $1000 in US bonds earning 1% interest, to float our national deficit.  That 1% compound interest is free money to them. We are paying people to borrow money from us.  Lenders are supposed to charge interest to lend not pay interest to lend. The US is actually paying to lend right now.  Thats why the Mega-bankers have been giving themselves huge bonuses following TARP and QE. 

This is how the Petro-Dollar system works.  Britian has a deal with Saudi Arabia to only sell oil in dollars. What's in it for Britian?  The deal is that Saudi Arabia must only deposit their dollars in City of London banks.  If Saudi Arabia earns $1000 in the sale of oil and deposits $1000 in a City of London bank, the western bank then can lend $10,000 and earn back $20,000 or more in principle and interest via fractional reserve lending.  Just imagine what kind of money is created when $1 billion is deposited. Just imagine the economic power.  Remember, Saudi Banks operate under Sharia Law which is prohibited from this kind of fraudulent lending.

Fractional Reserve lending goes back to the Middle Ages and Templar Houses where a crusader or traveler on pilgrimage would deposit his gold. The Templar house would issue gold certificates and found they could issue many more certifucates than the gold they had in deposit.  

This sort of thing was legitimized later by DeMedici banks with double entry ledgers where it was shown if a bank lends $100, the borrower deposits the $100 back in the bank.  So the bank can then lend $90 at 10% fractional reserves.  The $90 goes back into the bank as a deposit.  So the bank lends $78. The $78 is deposited and $65 is lent....  ect ect down to the last $1.  This is the justification for turning $100 into $1000 loan.


Safety Society System (True Democratic Constitutional  Economic System)
The key to the Safety Society System (SSS) is to create a bank that is immune to failure. To do this you have to understand how and why banks fail.  

Banks fail because they operate on fractional reserve principles.  When a bank loses its reserves it becomes insolvent and it cannot lend and it cannot pay its depositors.  Banks lose their reserves in 1. run on bank  2. stock market, derivatives, or bond market crash.  So, to prevent banking failures, SSS must be full reserve and the US Treasury must create all money and control and prevent inflation.

Banks operate by fractional reserves.  They only keep less than %5 in deposit.  All the rest is lent out.  1. If more than %5 come to withdraw their money, the bank is insolvent and fails.  This is a "run" on the bank.  2.  Because of inflation, the bank must keep its %5 reserves in investments and not cash to keep up with inflation.  However, if there is a bond default, derivatives failure or stock market crash, even though the bank has billions in loans, if the bank loses its %5 reserves, the bank can't make new loans, it becomes insolvent and fails.

Again, to prevent banking failures, SSS must be full reserve and the US Treasury must create all money, control and prevent inflation.

The US Constitution says in Article 1 Section 8 that the Congress via the US Treasury should have the power to "coin" or "print" or "create" all the money and regulate its value. This simple statement solves everything. What the US Constitution calls for is a perfect economic system that is full reserve and inflation-less. Right now the FED-member banks create most of the money via fractional reserve lending out-of-thin-air.  Money does grow on trees if you're a FED-member bank.

The only reason we have mega banks in the US is Britian used to manipulate gold and silver triggering panics and crashes and cause small fractional reserve banking failures  in the US and then convinced us we needed to consolidate banking power in big mega-banks and ultimately the FED in 1913. Consolidation of power (giving up liberty) is never the right answer to achieve safety.

The secret to control Inflation is given by the Milton Freidman equation M x V = P x G
M = money supply (printing)
V = velocity (money circulation)
P = price or inflation
G = real growth (GDP)

What we need is an on-demand system where money (M) is created at the precise moment that money is needed (G) . What creates the booms and busts in the US system is periods of not enough money or too much money in the system at any time.

In reality, money creation doesn't begin at the printing press.  In reality, money creation begins with loan origination.

Here is how SSS works:
1. An individual goes to the local SSS for a home loan.  

2. Community SSS bank is non-profit and earns money on loan origination fees and monthly service fees just as your local bank or credit union does now.  SSS just earns enough to pay overhead.

3. If the individual or group (business loan) is credit worthy (skilled employment),  the US Treasury will create money (digital), at the exact time the loan is qualified for and approved. (quality/skilled labor = money).
US Treasury creates %100 of money, and local SSS determines loan qualification (power to the people).

4. The US Treasury charges a fee/tax on all money created.  This fee/tax makes it so savers have an advantage over borrowers. The US government generates most all its revenue on this loan origination fee and tarrifs.  No Income tax.

5. The US Treasury Loan origination fee/tax controls the amount of money supply (M) in the system to control for and prevent inflation.  Too much money in the economy raise fee/tax.  There is NO inflation in this "on-demand" system because (M) never exceeds (G). 

6. SSS bank only loans money for real repossessible assets like land and real estate.  (how banks fail is they are invested in stock or derivatives and the stock crashes, and there is nothing of value to repossess)

7. SSS never loans deposits.  If an individual deposits $1000 in their local SSS, that $1000 stays there on the books forever and is never lent out or invested by the bank and then lost in a bad investment.  If there is no inflation, and the bank is non-profit, the SSS bank can keep your deposits as cash forever.  This Full Reserve Banking makes it impossibke for a run on the bank to crash the bank.

8. Skilled/employeed Individual qualifies for takes out a fee-based, no-interest home loan.  Individual repays loan on a monthly basis and earns equity on month 1.  (no amortized mortgage schedule). 

9. If the individual loses his job or becomes ill, monthly payment is deducted from equity.  The home loan becomes an instant "reverse mortgage".  This serves as an immediate mortgage insurance policy.

10. If the individual loses all equity in the property, he is in default and the bank repossesses the property, sells the property and prevents any loses. The SSS bank never loses money because it always has a real asset (land or building) to repossess.

11. Real estate must be insured. Value is placed on quality building, fire-prevention, building in flood-safe areas, fire-resistant materials. 

12. Real Estate should NOT appreciate in value.  This generates inflation. M>G. Real Estate should retain value only.

13. Loan money created by US Treasury is backed by land and real estate it is being used to purchase.  Currency is 100% backed by land and real estate.

14. Value of goods and services is determined by the amount and quality of labor needed to produce the good or service.  House price determined by amount and quality of labor needed to produce all needed materials and labor needed to construct the house itself. 

15. Venture capital business investment must be a separate institution (Restores Glass-Steagall). Still a need for Mitt Romney and Bain Capital but it must be separate from SSS.   SSS can lend for the land and building only. SSS loans can also be made to mine local natural resources.  Federal Lands and mineral rights must be returned to the States (end National Parks Act).

16. Every country on Earth can start their own SSS system.  Every country can educate their people and build homes.  Every country can be first-world.

17. If a community wants an aquarium or museum or hospital.  The community passes a voter referrendum for a 1% sales tax .  With the projected revenue, they qualify for their fee-based no-interest loan.  The money is created.  The building begins.

18. Repaid money (digital)  is returned to the US treasury and retired/cancelled/destroyed.

19. Tarrifs needed to protect prices local manufacturing and industry from slave-produced goods in corrupt foreign countries.  Free Trade is NOT Free.

20. US Revolutionary War was fought over control of credit and currency, NOT taxation without representation. US Civil War was fought over Tarrifs and Protectionism NOT states rights and slavery.  If we don't remember and preserve the purpose they died for, what good is remembering?

Differences Between Male and Female Brains



Women have made and will continue to make important contributions in all areas of human endevor and scholarship.  However, in spite of what some would have us believe, the brains of men and women are created differently. 

Researchers studying the connectivity of the brain have found what most everyone already knows, that the male brain has more connections between his occipital (visual) cortex and temporal cortext (motor).  This front-to-back connectivity generally leads to better performance on spacial-motor tasks. 

On the other side, the female brain has better connectivity between the right and left sides of the brain. This specialization endows women, generally speaking, with better verbal and emotional skills. 

These findings provided additional scientific evidence to support traditional gender roles.  Men tend to do better outside the home performing physical tasks while women excel at nurturing family relationships in the home.  These traditional roles are not just by-products of upbringing and environment but actually hard-wired into our brains.

PDD 60: Abandonment of "Launch on Warning"

In 1997, President Bill Clinton issued Presidential decision directive (PDD) 60.  This directive radically changed US stratigic nuclear policy from "launch on warning" to "retaliate after absorbing a first strike".  President Clinton's justification for this change was based on the false premise that in the so-called "Post-Cold War Era", Russia and China are no longer nuclear threats. 

Robert Bell, senior director for defense policy and arms control at the National Security Council, verified information about PDD 60 in an interview on December 23, 1997.  Bell pointed out that while the United States has always had the "technical capability" to implement a policy of launch on warning, it has chosen not to do so. "Our policy is to confirm that we are under nuclear attack with actual detonations before retaliating".

Hello? Are you serious? The whole strategy that makes nuclear weapons a deterrent is that under a "launch on warning" policy, whichever nation launches first looses and whichever nation launches second wins.  If you take US nuclear missiles off "launch on warning" and switch to a policy of "retaliation after absorbing a nuclear first-strike", there won't be anything left over to retaliate with.  You loose.  Especially since 1. most all US nukes are sitting in vulnerable fixed silos, and 2. the US has been unilaterally downsizing our nuclear arsenal.

"Launch on Warning" means the US would launch its nuclear missiles after it has been varified that a country like Russia and China have premptively launched on the US but before enemy warheads have arrived. Under "Launch on Warning" the US would retaliate while the enemy ICBMs are still in the air, and before they have detonated in the US.

The reason  "Launch on Warning" assures that whomever launches first looses and whomever launches second wins is that a country would likely only launch 50% of its nukes during a first-strike.  Most of the incoming nukes will be targeting our nukes here in the US to prevent a retaliatory counter-attack. However, how "Launch on Warning" works is the launch-second country can simply track the incoming ICBMs and predict which silos are being targeted.  The US would then launch the nukes only in those targeted silos.  The "launch on warning" ICBMs would then target the remaining unlaunched ICBMs back in the attacking nation.  When Russia's ICBMs arrive, those nukes strike empty silos.  When the US nukes arrive on the other end, they target and destroy remaining ICBMs in Russia. 

If the US only uses 50% of its nukes to target the remaining Russian nukes, then the US is left with 50% remaining ICBMs and Russia is left with 0% ICBMs.  This is how the "Launch on Warning" strategy assures that whomever initiates a nuclear firstrike looses and why the "Launch on Warning" policy is the only real and effective nuclear deterrence policy.  

The new and current nuclear policy to "Retaliate after Absorbing a First-strike" is an unwinnable policy that does more to invite attack than deter it.

Unfortunately the only thing the public thinks it knows about nuclear stragedy is from the movie "War Games" which equates Global Thermonuclear War with a game of tick-tack-toe.

Drudge Report: Hoover, JFK, Baker

How the media work? think of each news story as a point on a page.  The mainstream media then connects the dots and creates a picture for us by highlighting certain points and disgarding others.  Alternative media sites are able to ofttimes draw a completely different picture by highlighting or including more or different dots.

Drudgereport.com is one of the most popular alernative media websites in America and has been getting a lot of attention by the mainstream media and politicians.  The fascinating thing about Matt Drudge's site is that it is just a news headline aggregator.  There is no original content. 

The Drudge website searches other mainstream and alternative media sites and highlights certain stories that may not get highlighted by by the media sources themselves.   And that right there is the genius of the site.  

In reality, the mainstream media comes out with very honest and revealing news reports all the time.  However, how the media game works is many of these stories get buried and are overlooked.  Drudge paints a very different picture of "the way things are" just by highlighting these different headlines.

However, at this stage of the game, I think disclosure is part of the master plan.  At this point, all these revelations about corruption and the abuse of power are more about causing division and getting American's to loose faith.  

I was watching several documentaries about J Edgar Hoover.  There was that movie recently.  And basically these documentary were saying the head of the FBI was gay and the media covered for him and Hoover covered for the mafia and who knows who else because these organized crime groups blackmailed Hoover.  

I'm not sure people realize the depth of what was going on in the FBI. For several decades Hoover denied the existence of the mafia.  The mob in Hoover's opinion was a fairytail and anyone who brought it up was ignored or labeled like a nutcase. That was until the chance discovery of a mafia summit in Apalachin, NY Nov 14, 1957.  

But even after the media and Hoover were forced to recognize the mafia, little was done about it until after JFK was assassinated in 1963 and Robert Kennedy began a crusade against the mafia as Attorney General  and then State Senator until his own assassination in 1968.

Now we have the revelations by Bobby Baker who was a close political advisor to LBJ. Robert Gene Baker from SC ran the Quorum Club and was investigated in 1963 for bribery and corruption.  This investigation was dropped by Robert Kennedy with the help of Hoover and dirt they had on JFK. The tangled web of corruption and blackmail boggles the mind.  And the free press covering for everyone.

I mean I've been working in Aiken SC, which was home to Strom Thurmond.  If you want to here some salacious rumors, just talk to the old-timers around Edgefield County, SC.  But how come everyone knows all this behavior is going on and these details about who our politicians really are are hidden in plain sight from us?  

Drudge report demonstrates that the truth was always there, but special interest control the media has led to the steady erosion of morality and liberty in America beginning with our leaders. A carefully controlled chief editor can with a few edits change the whole impact of a story or bury another story in the back of the paper. 

However, alternative media aggregation sites like Drudgereport.com are serving to bring some of these stories to the forefront countering the steady drumbeat narrative of the mainstream media.  However, I fear it may be too late and these revelations 50 years after the fact are just serving to cause American's to loose faith in the American system.

CORRUPTION TODAY
Why is what happened 50 years important today? These examples of corruption and scandal are important because these kind of things are still happening.  Chief Justice Roberts was supposed to be a conservative justice, but when it came to ruling on the Obamacare mandate, Roberts suddenly flips sides and then tells us "the Supreme Court should seek to find any reason to judge legislation constitutional."

What we all suspect is that Justice Roberts got a call and got blackmailed and coerced into switching his vote. Bill Mayer isn't the only one who thinks Roberts is gay. In this day and age, who should care, but the unfortunate thing is if you are ashamed enough to be blackmailed over it is the real tragedy.

The consequence of the decision on the individual mandate is now there is SCOTUS precident that the US government can now legislate what is good for you.  And if you dont agree they can fine you, jail you, and take your children away from you.

The Obamacare individual mandate is nothing like states requiring liability car insurance.1. The car insurance requirement is to protect the potential victim. 2. a person can avoid the requirement by choosing not to drive 3. car insurance laws are state laws and not federal laws.

THE SOLUTION
The problem with corrupt politicians and media are the same problems. The world has a concentrated economic elite minority. There are  60 Bank of International settlement- controlled banks.  This means that when the FED issues a bond, the US special interests issue us our own currency with interest. 

Now thay the bankers have all the money, thess special interests can buy up and control the media as well as politicians. 

The only hope is to create a more equitable monetary system based on real assets and full reserve banking.  Older posts illustrate this system called the "The Safety Society System". Our problem is that America instituted European banking.  The Safety Society System actually better follows the Constitution where the Congress via the Treasury creates 100% currency and not the banks via the money multiplier which is the sourse of their power.

Claire's Invention: trash bag rain pants

My daughter Claire has been demonstrating innovative thinking.  Here is her latest invention: Trash bag poncho rain-proof suspender pants.  Every good boy scout knows how to make a poncho out of a trash bag.  However, I liked this idea for pants.

China and US Drilling in Hawaii

I am heartened that just after China reported that its new balliatic missiles can now target US cites in the northeast and west coast that China and the US are strengthening relations by participating in joint humanitarian military exercizes in Hawaii today.  I also hope these efforts can then be focused on the Phillipines who are suffering after the terrible Super Typhoon.

China has reportedly purchased 300 tons of gold this year.  Economics claim that China has a goal of 10,000 tons in order to launch a gold-backed Yuan to rival the USD.  However, the Yuan is already a respectable rival among the BRICS nations. These countries swap currencies and then settle end-of-year deficits and surpluses with gold.

I think if China really wanted to replace and not just rival the USD with a gold-backed Yuan, they would need the 170,000 tons of gold Karen Hudes says is in the Bank of Hawaii. 

Thinking about the numbers optimistically; if China had say 200,000 tons of gold, that could equal approaching 10 Trillion dollars. Using standard fractional reserve principles, that 10 Trillion could be leveraged to 100 Trillion and then be able to do the kind of work needed to run the global economy.

To give you some perspective on the global economy.  World GDP is about 50 Trillion USD and the world derivatives market is about 20 x GDP = 1.2 quadrillion. The immense size of these numbers is why I question economic reports about China and such relatively small amounts if gold.  These small amounts would serve to keep the current BRICS dollar exclusion zone going.

Gold Rumors

There has been a string of rumors about gold that rise up from time to time in the media. I have no idea of their truth except, I expect that there is much more gold than the myth that 'all the gold ever mined in the history of the Earth could fit in one olympic-sized pool.'

So, the rumor begins with the "protocols of Zion" saying the illuminati have taken gold out of circulation in the economy.  The consequence of this is that in a world with gold-backed currency, this put a cramp on world economies. 

Anyways. When Commodore Matthew C Perry went to Japan with his backwards US flag and forceably opened up Japan to trade with the West, the corruption of Japanese youth led to the Meiji Revolution and overthrow of the Shogunate. Japan was then used by the British to attack China.  Why?  The Western bankers were looking for Roman Gold.  Rome had been sending gold East for hundreds of years in exchange for spices and drugs. The Bankers wanted that gold back.

Then sometime during WW2, Chinese gold was transferred to the Philippines for safe keeping.  The Philippines have been controlled by the US since the Spanish-American war in 1898. Then following WW2, gold was transferred to the US following the Bretton-Woods agreement establishing the US Dollar as the world reserve currency.  China trusted the US promise that the US would help China and the 3rd World develop. 

Instead what happened is the IMF and World Bank gave out loans to private corporations to exploit and mine 3rd-world resources.  Private multinational corporations enslaved third-world populations to mine their resources polluted those countries and left the people with impossible debt.  

When the World Bank forgave these 3rd-world countries debt, they only did so in exchange for perminent control over the countries mineral resources.  Juat recently, Greece had to put up its Islands as collateral for its most recent bailout.  What did you get in your Christmas stocking this year? If it wasn't a Greek Island then your not part of the "in crowd".

David Wilcox, Ben Fulford and now Karen Hudes is the rumor spreaders.  Karen Hudes claims to have been a lawyer for the IMF turned whistleblower who is on a crusade to prosecute the world bankers, and the 60 Bank of International Settlement banks for corruption.  

None of these rumor spreaders are reliable.  Hudes has been showing up on RT talking about the corruption of private central banks but giving no specifics other than saying countries should be paying private central banks interest to print our own money.  This I agree with. However, Hudes has been pointing people to the Bank of North Dakota as a solution. I do agree when she says that money can be backed by not just gold.

I do not think the Bank of North Dakota is the answer.  All Money creation needs to done by US Treasury but loan approval needs to be local and private and non-profit.  The North Dakota system doesn't do enough to solve the problem of fractional reserve banking and lending that leads to banking failures.

Anyways, Wilcox and Fulford had been saying that when China gave the US gold it was given US Treasury Certificates.  Some of these certifucates for billions of dollars have surfaced on several occasions.  Each time these certifucates surface they are called fraudulent.  But who in their right mind would try to pass off million-dollar US Treasury Certificates except the US itself?  If I was a counterfeiter, it wouldn't be the first thing I'd think to do.

Anyways, Wilcox and Fulford had been saying that China wants its gold back frim the US and they aren't happy about not getting it and not being able to cash in their Treasuries.  Germany holds much of its gold in the US as well and was told it couldn't have its gold back either and that is no rumor.

Well the newest gold rumor is that Karen Hudes said on RT that the Bank of Hawaii had 170,000 tons of gold in deposit. 170,000 tons is 6 billion ounces worth 8 trillion dollars.  170,000 tons of gold is more gold than anyone was led to believe existed on the Earth and more than all the gold reserves of all the nations on Earth.  

So, why is all that gold in Hawaii? Hawaii is not an easily defended location to keep gold.

Mathematics of Music

My daughter Faith asked me to tune her guitar. While looking up the correct reference tone, I realized that the customary tuning of "Concert A" at 440 Hz, was different than the tuning of medical tuning forks based on octaves of C at 128 Hz, 256 Hz, 512 Hz, 1024 Hz, and 2048 Hz.  

In the West, we divide up octaves into 12 proportional semitones. The way the chromatic scale is divided is called "Temperament." There are many temperaments which have been put forth over the years, such as Pythagorean, Werckmeister, Just, Mean, Well (Bach,  "The Well-Tempered Clavier") and Even.


F(n) = EXP ( LN (2) * n / 12 )
F(n) = e ^ ( LN  (2) * n / 12 )
F(n) = e ^ ( 0.057762265... * n )
F(n) = 2 ^ ( n / 12 ) * 256 Hz
n = steps or semitones away from the fundamental frequency beginning at n = 0.

Why do physicians use tuning forks? We use them to test hearing and vibration sense. A physician may rest the base of a ringing tuning fork on the patient's forehead, behind the ear or next to the ear to test hearing.  He may also place the base of a ringing tuning fork on a toe to test vibration sense. 

Why are medical and scientific tuning based on C4 = 256 Hz?  Scientific tuning is based on octaves of C beginning at 1 Hz and then doubling to 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048 Hz.

So, why is nearly all modern music tuned to the A4 = 440 Hz standard? An international body got together and made an arbitrary decision. Why focus on A4 and not C4?  I suppose it is because most string instruments have an A string.  Historically, early Western musicians tuned to the fundamental pitch of the organ where they were performing. Ultimately, the organ tuning determined the tuning of the orchestra. 

That said, A4 = 440 Hz is a bit sharp for my taste.  Many musicians and composers still experiment with alternative tunings and temperaments.  A4 = 432 Hz is a popular alternative tuning.  And according to Even temperament based on C4 = 256 Hz, A4 would work out to be 430.5 Hz.

Scientific Equal Temperament Tuning:



C2 = 64.0 Hz
C#2 = 67.8 Hz
D2 = 71.8 Hz
D#2 = 76.1 Hz
E2 = 80.6 Hz
F2 = 85.4 Hz
F#2 = 90.5 Hz
G2 = 95.9 Hz
G#2 = 101.6 Hz
A2 = 107.6 Hz 
A#2 = 114.0 Hz
B2 = 120.8 Hz
-------------------
C3 = 128.0 Hz
C#3 = 135.6 Hz
D3 = 143.7 Hz
D#3 = 152.2 Hz
E3 = 161.3 Hz
F3 = 170.9 Hz
F#3 = 181.0 Hz
G3 = 191.8 Hz
G#3 = 203.2 Hz
A3 = 215.3 Hz 
A#3 = 228.1 Hz
B3 = 241.6 Hz
-------------------
C4 = 256.0 Hz
C#4 = 271.2 Hz
D4 = 287.3 Hz
D#4 = 304.4 Hz
E4 = 322.5 Hz
F4 = 341.7 Hz
F#4 = 362.0 Hz
G4 = 383.6 Hz
G#4 = 406.4 Hz
A4 = 430.5 Hz  **********
A#4 = 456.1 Hz
B4 = 483.3 Hz
C5 = 512.0 Hz

National Review:Who is Valerie Jarrett?

Jofi Joseph, the point man on nuclear nonproliferation at the National Security Council used his anonymous Twitter handle #natlsecwonk to criticize Valerie Jarrett influence over President Obama and was promptly fired.

"I’m a fan of Obama, but his continuing reliance and dependence upon a vacuous cipher like Valerie Jarrett concerns me"

Who is Valeri Jarrett? According to the "National Review Online": Jarrett, an old Chicago friend of both Barack and Michelle Obama, appears to exercise such extraordinary influence she is sometimes quietly referred to as “Rasputin” on Capitol Hill, a reference to the mystical monk who held sway over Russia’s Czar Nicholas as he increasingly lost touch with reality during World War I.

Valeri Jarrett is President Obama's national security advisor who has no national security, economic, or foreign policy experience. Simply put, Jarrett is President Obama's fabian globalist handler.

Where ObamaCare is Going?

Everyone knows that ObamaCare is a boondoggle . Its not going to work.  Most people  dislike it.  Now with the website failures, not enough people will enroll.  Result? the program will declared a failure and come March the government will claim that its forced to pass a single-payer program.  Single-payer was where they were headed all along. 

Second.  We have witnessed the epic fail of the Obamacare website.  The success of Obamacare depends on getting young healthy people enrolled so they can pay for everyone else.  Now we have a situation where noone can sign up.  

The media reports that one of Michelle Obama's Chicago college friends won the contract to do the failed website and database. Now Oracle, Google and Redhat have been called up to fix the Obamacare website.  However, I will tell you, there is no fixing a broken and insecure database.  Oracle will need to start over from scratch. I will be very surprised if Oracle and Google and Redhat can get this job done by January.   The Obamacare database is supposed to be the most extensive US database in our history.  Makes you wonder why the President didn't call in the Database Major Leaguers from the start.

Biolet Composting Toilet

As Hurricane Katrina taught us, dealing with human waste is a big problem in a disaster. Historically, because of poor sanitation, more people have tended to die with the epidemic of disease following the disaster than in the disaster itself.

While smaller regional disasters may not affect plumbing, a catastrophic event disabling the US power grid  would likely affect water sanitation and availability.  

So if indoor plumbing is disabled and availible water must be conserved for drinking and not flushing, how should one best deal with human solid waste?

If the plumbing is going to be out for months, everyone will eventually run out of logs to squat over.  A great alternative to the odoriferous outhouse is the composting toilet or "biolet".

The principles behind a composting toilet are several.  
1. It is very difficult and expensive to clean fecal bacteria from water so DON'T poop in your water. Biolets keep liquid and solid human wastes separate.  
2. Because fresh human urine is sterile, it can be diluted and used as fertilizer immediately.  Urine must be collected and kept  separate from solids.
3. 90% of the volume of human solid fecal waste is water and air. So the action of a composting toilet works to dry human waste, shrinking it down to a small fraction of its original volume.
4. Bacteria and odors are eliminated by aerating and drying the waste. Usually the collection container is partially filled with some sort of absorbant waste biomass (peat moss, dry grass, shreaded news paper, ect).  The biomass serves to absorb moister and increase aeration and surface area.
5. The enemy to bacteria is dryness.  Bacteria cannot survive long without water.  Biomass also introduces fungus in the compost which inhibits bacterial growth and suppoerts further natural decomposition. 
6. Biolets are easy to plumb as the simplest designs just require an exhaust pipe. Modern designs are fitted with exhaust fans and heaters however these are not absolutely necessary if built correctly.  Simple Biolets will create their own air circulation and heat through spontaneous exothermic reactions.
7. Good Composting toilet design has a mechanism to turn the waste allowing for good aeration.  Foul odors are usually caused by anerobic bacterial growth so good earation will limit the worst orders.
8. Natural Heat production during the composting process will also kill bacteria and limit growth.
9.  Adding lime will increase the pH and aid in inhibiting bacterial growth and  odors.  Bacteria tend to prefer an acidic low pH over a basic high pH.
10. Basically, a Biolet composting toilet deals with human solid waste not unlike kitty litter. 
11. Finished waste is sterile and can be burried. Some people add it to soil around flower gardens but I personally wouldn't use it in my veggie garden especially because when you empty the Biolet there will always be the newer waste mixed with the older decomposed waste.
12. Some designs have 3 chambers that are rotated to make sure waste that is emptied is all decomposed and sterile. Other designs empty to an outdoor compost pile to finish the decomposition process.

Fake FunVax: Vaccine against Religious Feeling Hoax


The following fraudulent document is meant to fool people into think that some scientists have discovered a gene (VMAT2) expressed in the brain that seems to be associated with strong religious feelings.  The media has been calling it "the God gene". Likely a hoax, this possible fake white paper suggests that some scientists have been doing fMRI scans on religious extremists in Afghanistan and they have found that those tested produce more MVAT2 in their brains then the nonreligious.  So, these researchers want to cure religious extremism by vaccination and "knockout" or at least "knockdown" VMAT2 expression. 

Obviously, these hypotheses and tests would not be without controversy. #1 you can't reduce something as complex as religious feeling and the existence of God down to the expression of a single gene. #2 correlation does not equal causation. 
#3 Scientists argue this gene likely is not tied specifically to religion but any social involvement which could affect feelings of loyalty associate with identity including nationalism, patriotism, and paternalism.
#4  How do you ethically perform human experiments? does the government think it can get informed consent to test such a vaccine?  "Hey, want to be cured of your religious feelings?" #5 How do you control dose response in a vaccine?  Monkeys with VMAT2 knocked out loose the will to live, refuse to eat, and die from starvation.

I am not sure if the vaccine affects negative feelings of guilt or just positive social feelings, identity, loyalty and nationalism. Therefore, I don't think individuals with same-gender attraction would be cured of their religious guilt. 

Possible risks of vaccine: 
1. Production of a self-centered sociopath with no social allegiances or concept of the common good.
2. Attenuation of  human motivation, ambition and creativity.
3. Severe depression.
4. Christian targeted as religious extremist. 
5. Accidental or surreptitious release.

The pdf document is designed to be alarming.  This document suggests VMAT2 researchers are using the VSV (vesicular stomatitis virus).  This virus is very stable outside the body and it looks like they are hoping this VMAT2 immunization could be spread by ground aerosolization, disbursement at high altitudes, and even spread person-to-person.   

Just the suggestion of high altitude and ground dispersal demonstrates that this kind of vaccine research to change brain function is a hoax.  This kind of research would never be approved.  It is also unlikely that communications in a treatment area could be monitored for vaccine effectiveness.

Deal or Default?

With the US Government divided, gridlocked over the debt ceiling and Obamacare, and part of the Federal Government shut down; no one is really sure what is going to happen.  Here are some possibilities.

1. Last-minute deal and business as usual, kicking the national debt can further down the road.

2. Obama declares martial law and assumes dictatorial powers to prevent a default.

3. No deal and default (over the fiscal cliff) resulting in a Cyprus-style bail-in which means banks holding credit default swap (bond insurance derivatives) are stuck with the responsibility of paying off US bonds. Banks could then seize money out of personal segregated accounts. 

4. No deal and Greek-style debt restructuring.  Austerity measures put in place to balance budget.  Federal lands, mineral rights and utilities used to pay off debts.

5. No deal and business as usual with continued QE printing but no more bond sales.

6. Deal where we balance the budget, raise tariffs, end the FED, start a fair national monetary system, give back all federal lands and mineral rights to states, and make states and religion responsible for welfare.

7. Something else?????

Sad, my wife thinks #6 is the most improbable.  

Also, what was with the EBT (Federal Food Stamps) shutting down for 1 hour and the over-reporting of sporadic Walmart looting? Some people think that shutdown was a test or maybe just a scare tactic to get Congess to raise the debt ceiling.

TB Drugs Treat Parkinson's

The cause of Parkinson's is still a mystery but recent studies may be narrowing the cause to few candidates.  Some researcher felt it possible that Parkinson's was caused by a TB-like bacteria.  The reason its hard to verify this is that TB-like bacteria do not grow  out in culture.  However, some researchers have known that certain TB drugs improve symptoms if not cure it.  

More recently, another mechanism for Parkinson's has come up associated with chronic Manganese poisoning.   

Well it so happens there may be an interesting treatment that covers both bases. An aspirin-like drug called sodium para-aminosalicylic acid used to treat TB also is believed to cross the blood brain barrier and chelate with excess manganese in the brain.

I am interested in following this more closely as research narrows in on a possible cure for this terrible and debilitating disease.  I have heard of other TB drugs being effective for Parkinson's as well.

Autonomous Kill Drones

http://www.defenseone.com/technology/2013/10/ready-lethal-autonomous-robot-drones/71492/

http://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/may/29/killer-robots-ban-un-warning

The US Government is now wanting to create drones that can target and kill automatically and autonomously without human oversight.  Lethal autonomous robots (LAR's) will be enabled to target and fire their weapons without a human reviewing or checking the result.  HELLO, ARE YOU SERIOUS??!!!  

With the NSA reviewing all voice and data communications and then storing "meta-data".  The end result of this meta-data is the profiling and creation of lists. 

Now in the chance of martial law being declared during some future event or national catastrophe, we might expect an armada of LAR's kill drones to be unleashed over the US.  

Whose to say these autonomous kill drones couldn't be suddenly uploaded with a kill list and a certain segment of the population deemed a threat or undesirable could be automatically targeted using our GPS-enabled smart phones.

This scenario would be Star Wars Order 66 being carried out by drones instead of clones.  Even though critics hate the plot of the newer Star Wars movies, Lucus said the newer films were meant to be a warning. Lucus said that he produced the first 3 Star Wars movies so he could gain enough money and be independent enough to produce the prequels. 

So, do you think there is a warning there about the Order 66 and the Jedi Purge? Who will be the "force sensate" who will possibly be targeted and purged?

Maybe the NWO will collect "meta-data", profile and make kill lists of conspiracy theorists and constitutionalists. The NWO has aleady used the power of the IRS, HHS, EPA etc to target certain groups. Whose to say they won't one day target these groups with drones?

Do you think the same sociopaths who ruthlessly audit you, tax you, penalize you and revoke your business or non-profit licenses have some sort of moral conscious keeping them from crossing a certain line?

Don't project your values onto sociopaths.  Sociopaths have no conscience or empathy at all. I'm not sayimg any particular person is one.  What I'm saying is that a sociopath will do whatever they think will benefit them that they can get away with without punishment.
