The US is planning to consolidate its position in Africa with a new drone outpost in Niger, with the stated purpose of providing unarmed surveillance support to French efforts in Mali and keeping tabs on al-Qaeda elements on the continent. The robotic unmanned aircraft would likely be based in Niger, on the eastern border of Mali, where French forces are currently waging a campaign against Al-Qaeda, AFP reported, quoting an anonymous official.
If the plan is approved, up to 300 US military servicemembers and contractors could be sent to the base to operate the drone aircraft, the New York Times reported. US Africa Command is also considering another location as an alternative to the base in Burkina Faso, the official said. However, State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland reiterated that there are no plans to commit US troops to any fighting on the ground.
In the future, the US command does not rule out using the base to conduct military strikes if the situation deteriorates or the extremist threat increases, military officials told The New York Times. In the meantime, the US military’s Africa Command is reviewing the options for the base with other countries in the region, including Burkina Faso.
The Africa Command’s scheme still needs the go-ahead from the Department of Defense, President Barack Obama and Niger. No final decision had been made, but a status-of-forces agreement has been reached between the two governments in Niger on Monday, providing legal protection to American troops in the African country.
“Niger has given the green light to accepting American surveillance drones on its soil to improve the collection of intelligence on Islamist movements,” Reuters quoted its source who asked not to be identified. If the drone base plan goes through, the facility could become home to as many as 300 American military and contractual personnel.
The United States so far has only one permanent base in Africa, in Djibouti. The drone base there is widely used for missions in nearby Yemen and allows access to Somalian and Sudanese airspace. A base in Niger would drastically shorten the response time to developing situations in the region. The ongoing discussions about the installation follow the French military intervention in Mali and the Algerian hostage crisis, which left at least 37 foreigners dead and highlighted the threat from al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.
On Wednesday, outgoing US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton promised not to let northern Mali become a “safe haven” for extremists in the region as al-Qaeda-affiliated insurgents have become a “a very serious, ongoing threat.” Last week, Washington sent approximately 100 military trainers to nations that are prepared to, or have already deployed, troops to Mali – including Nigeria, Niger, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Togo and Ghana.
Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande use the French armies to pander to private or foreign interests. They sent men to their death to plunder Ivory Coast cocoa, Libya’s gold reserves, Syria’s gas, and Mali’s uranium.
The trust has been broken between the military chiefs and the soldiers who are in the army to defend the homeland. At the traditional New Year wishes ceremony, for fear that the military might shoot the President, the Elysée security service deactivated their weapons (Olivet military base, 9 January 2013). The military adventures of Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande in Afghanistan, Ivory Coast, Libya, Syria and now in Mali are hotly discussed in the French army. And the opposition they face is at a critical point. Some examples:
In 2008, when Nicolas Sarkozy had just changed the mission of the French soldiers in Afghanistan to become supplementary forces of the U.S. occupation, the Chief of Staff of the Army, General Bruno Cuche, refused to send in Leclerc tanks. The crisis was so profound that President Sarkozy took advantage of the first opportunity to force General Cuche to resign.
In 2011, it was Admiral Pierre-François Forissier’s turn. The Chief of Naval Staff had publicly expressed his doubts about the operation in Libya which, according to him, took the French forces away from their primary mission of defending the homeland. In 2012, General Jean Fleury, former Chief of Staff of the Air Force, was even more explicit in saying that France has neither the vocation nor the means to attack Syria.
Over the past five years, the senior officers-most often very observant Catholics- have become convinced that the power of the French army has been diverted by presidents Sarkozy and Hollande to serve private or foreign interests, U.S. and Israeli. This is confirmed by the very organization of recent external operations. Since 2010, most of them have escaped the command of Chief of Defence Staff, Admiral Edouard Guillaud, to accrue to the command of General Benedict Puga, from the Elysée. This paratrooper, a specialist of Special Operations and Intelligence, embodies both dependence on Israel and the revival of colonialism. It was he who oversaw, in Egypt, the construction of the steel wall to complete the closure of the Gaza Strip, turning it into a giant ghetto.
We know that Nicolas Sarkozy did not enjoy contact with the military. François Hollande, on his part, flees their company. Thus, when he went to Lebanon to urge President Michel Suleiman to support the secret war in Syria, on November 4, he did not see fit to greet the French contingent of UNIFIL. This affront is not attributable to disdain, but to Hollande’s his fear of coming into contact with them.
The crisis of confidence has reached a point where the security service of the Elysée fears a military attempt on the life of the President of the Republic. Thus, January 9, at the President’s address to the French armed forces, at the 12th regiment of Cuirassiers d’Orléans base, the Elysée required the neutralization of weapons. The firing pins of assault rifles and machine guns were removed, and pistols were also incapacitated. Ammunition was confiscated and stored in sealed bags. Such a measure had not been taken since the Algerian crisis, sixty years prior.
When François Hollande said: “The military community is a family, with the active units and reserves. I know the stability, solidarity and I also appreciate the sense of discipline, cohesion and even of discretion“, the behavior of his security services belied his words. The President is afraid of his armed forces. He distrusts his soldiers because he knows he cannot justify the missions he assigns to them.
This crisis will not fail to deepen if the president continues his commitment to extending covert operations to Algeria. Moreover, since the suspension of conscription and the professionalization of the armed forces, many recruits are drawn from Muslim families from Algeria. They will not fail to react emotionally to the rampant recolonization of their parents’ homeland.
The French Overseas Mining Bureau discovered uranium in Niger in the late 1950s. The uranium deposit is located in the piedmont plains. Two companies, Somaïr and Cominak, were established to operate the mines. Until now, only uranium deposits have only been mined in the Arlit region.
AREVA’s concession covers 360 square kilometers (140 square miles) and the group is planning a major exploration program and submitted 19 new permit applications in 2006. Uranium mining is a
significant share of Niger's income and it has been strategic for French nuclear policy since the beginning, because Niger uranium, unlike Australian or Canadian uranium for example, never had any peaceful end-use conditions attached and thus France was free to use it in its nuclear weapons program. Consequently, the issue is being dealt with on the highest government levels in both countries.
Somaïr (Société des Mines de l’Aïr)
Somair was established in 1968. AREVA owns 63.4% of the capital, with the government of Niger owning the remaining 36.6% through Onarem, the national mining resources agency. Somaïr has operated several mines near Arlit since 1971. The ore is processed in a 2,000 MT mill (5.2 million pounds of U3O8) at the site. Somaïr employs about 600 people.
Cominak (Compagnie Minière d’Akouta)
Cominak was established in 1974 and is operated by AREVA, which owns 34% of the company shares. Other shareholders are Onarem of Niger (31%), Ourd of Japan (25%), and Enusa Industrias Avanzadas S.A. of Spain (10%). Cominak has operated the two main
deposits of Akouta and Akola, near the town of Akokan, since 1978. The on-site mill has a capacity of 2,000 MT of uranium per year (5.2 million lbs of U308). Cominak employs about 1,100 people. In July 2006, AREVA received an exploration permit for Imouraren, 80 kilometers south of Arlit.
The permit includes an ore body, originally discovered in 1969, that AREVA has decided to restart now that market conditions are more favorable. One hundred people are currently employed at the site. In January 2009, AREVA and the Niger government signed a convention that grants AREVA to exploit the Imaouraren deposit. AREVA will hold 66.65% in a joint company that will produce about 5,000 MT of uranium per year. The initial investment is estimated to reach more than €1.2 billion and will be the largest industrial project ever carried out in the country.
AREVA considers that its uranium mines are "providing jobs, the companies offer health, social and educational services to the local populations of this isolated and economically deprived area". The French company stresses that "in all, AREVA is engaged in sustainable development actions in Niger planned over the next five years worth more than €6 million per year." The sum corresponds to 0.5%
of the estimated investment expenditure for the sole Imouraren project. A survey carried out by French independent laboratory CRIIRAD on behalf of Niger environmental
organization AGHIR IN'MAN between 2003 and 2005 identified that:
• Radioactive waste was stored closed to a public road for more than a month;
• Drinking water that exceeds WHO contamination limits;
• Contaminated metals that are available on a public market;
• Mining wastes that are stored for decades without cover.
Areva mines in Niger
AREVA is also facing a long-standing Tuareg rebellion in Northern Niger. A Tuareg leader told AFP in January 2008: "We are going to attack the uranium mines, including those of AREVA, to stop factories functioning, prevent the exploitation of new quarries, and seize the cargo that is en route to the sea". The Tuaregs demand "that parts of the profits of uranium mining are handed back to them, while Tuaregs regularly raise the issue of the ecological impact of these mining operations on the
health of local populations".
AREVA's Vice-President for Protection of Assets and Personnel, former Navy Admiral Thierry d'Arbonneau, has been quoted as stating that the French State would do better to supply the authorities of Niger with the means to put down the rebellion of the Tuareg. The Tuaregs have illustrated in the past that they can seriously threaten AREVA's mining operations in the country. In April 2007, the Tuaregs attacked one of the mines and Dominique Pin, head of AREVA's uranium mining in Niger, admitted that “the attack caused us to stop all our operations for almost a month.”
In July 2007, AREVA took over the uranium company Uramin. Production at the Trekkopje site in Namibia was expected to begin in 2009-2010. Development has begun of the Ryst Kuil project in South Africa and the Bakouma project in the Central African Republic.
1 – Power comes from a 6.5-litre diesel engine that’s fitted with a supercharger to help haul this beast around. Yet despite this mammoth power plant, the top speed is only 60mph and it takes around 15 seconds to reach this.
2 – It is based on a GM truck chassis and weighs a staggering 6,350kg. To put that in context, the Rolls-Royce Phantom, one of the biggest cars on the road, weighs a paltry 2,550kg in comparison. This will be why the Obamamobile only averages 8mpg.
3 – A lot of the weight comes from the Armour protection. The body is made up of steel, aluminum, titanium and ceramic.
4 – The glass is five-inches thick and only the windscreen opens, to allow the driver to talk to secret service running alongside or to pay a toll. It is also hermetically sealed to secure it from chemical attack.
5 – Should the worst happen, The Beast has its own oxygen supply.
6 – The military-grade Armour means the doors are eight-inches thick and weigh as much as a Boeing 747′s.
7 – The doors are so thick that the President can’t hear any outside noise, so speakers are built in to play the ambient sound of the crowd.
8 – The underside is reinforced with a Kevlar mat to protect Caddy One from bomb attacks.
9 – The fuel tank is leak proof and filled with special foam that prevents it from exploding, even in a direct hit.
10 – There are two holes in the front bumper that can emit tear gas and fire smoke grenades.
11 – There is also an infrared video system for the driver to drive through smoke and night vision cameras for driving in darkness without lights.
12 – Cadillac One normally flies two flags, the American flag and the Presidential Standard, which are lit up at night with LEDs. When the President is on a state visit, the Presidential Standard is replaced by the flag of the country he is visiting.
13 – The Beast has a firefighting system located in the boot.
14 – Also in the boot is a bank of the president’s blood that is carried at all times and when he goes out an ambulance always follows close behind.
15 – The President gets a presidential limo built to this specification every four years and the old ones are handed down to vice presidents and visiting heads of state.
16 – This one can seat seven, with two seats up front, three rear-facing ones in the middle, and two at the very back, one for the president and the other for a guest.
17 – Inside, a 10-disc CD player is among the features, as well as sophisticated electronic communications with direct phones to the White House and internal Internet.
18 – Defense systems include a pump-action shotgun in a compartment beside the driver.
19 – The tires are reinforced with Kevlar and can run when flat. If the tires are missing, the steel rims have been designed to allow the car to keep on driving at speed.
20 – Unlike previous presidential cars, Caddy One has no specific model name.
but it is known everywhere as Narcissist One.

Why The West Is Killing and Plundering in Africa: (Part Two) Oppenheimer and The De Beers Family of Companies
Nicky Oppenheimer
De Beers was established in 1888. It is the world’s leading diamond company, with unrivalled expertise in the exploration, mining and marketing of diamonds. 2011 was an exceptional year for De Beers with a 21 percent increase in EBITDA to US$1.7 billion (2010: US$1.4 billion), and free cash flow of US$734 million (2010: US$943 million). Strong DTC price growth of 29 percent from 1 January to 31 December 2011 drove their second highest level of sales ever (US$6.5 billion), a 27 percent increase over 2010 (US$5.08 billion). At the same time, De Beers’ third-party debt reduced to US$1.3 billion (December 2010: US$1.8 billion), and third-party gearing to 20.9 percent (December 2010: 29.5 percent).
De Beers Canada, a wholly-owned subsidiary of De Beers, operates Snap Lake Mine in the Northwest Territories and Victor Mine in northern Ontario, and has a targeted exploration strategy. Both mines opened in July 2008. De Beers Canada is also a
joint venture partner with Mountain Province Diamonds in the Gahcho Kué Project in the Northwest Territories, currently in the permitting phase.
De Beers Consolidated Mines (DBCM) has been an empowered South African company since 2006, with 26 percent owned by broad-based Black Economic Empowerment partner, Ponahalo Holdings. DBCM operates Venetia, Voorspoed and Kimberley diamond mines, owns Namaqualand Mines (completion of sale pending at close of 2011), and undertakes exploration on land and off the Atlantic coastline. DBCM produced 5.44 million carats in 2011 (2010: 7.56 million carats). The sale of Finsch Mine, high rainfall, a skills shortage in South Africa, slope stability at Voorspoed, and the unavailability of earthmoving equipment at both Voorspoed and Venetia, together with 14 days of industrial action, all contributed to the drop in production in 2011.
Debswana is a 50/50 joint venture partnership between the Government of the Republic of Botswana and De Beers. Debswana operates the Orapa, Letlhakane, Jwaneng and Damtshaa diamond mines, and the Morupule Coal Mine, the only operating coal mine in Botswana. Debswana produced 22.9 million carats in 2011, an increase of 0.7 million carats (2010: 22.2 million carats). Production was, however, hampered due to a number of factors, including a maintenance backlog at Jwaneng Mine incurred during the global recession in 2008.
Namdeb Holdings (Pty) Limited is a 50/50 joint venture partnership between the Government of the Republic of Namibia and De Beers. Namdeb Holdings’ core business is diamond exploration and mining along the south-western coast and inland areas of the
Karas Region. Overall production for the year 2011 nearly equalled 2010 output at 1.3 million carats (2010: 1.5 million) despite land-based production disruptions on a number of occasions, shutdown at all operations for a complete safety review following two fatalities, a breach of the seawall, and a month of industrial action which approximated three months of lost production.
The Diamond Trading Company (DTC) is De Beers’ rough diamond distribution arm and the world’s largest supplier of rough diamonds, by value. With activities in sorting, valuing, sales and diamond beneficiation, the DTC has operations in the UK and South Africa, and 50/50 joint venture operations in Botswana and Namibia with those respective governments. 2011 was a successful year, with the DTC recording its second highest annual rough diamond sales figure ever of US$6.47 billion, despite a volatile and fragile macroeconomic environment.
Diamdel is a global market leader in negotiating spot sales and the pricing of rough diamonds. Competitive sales negotiations involve small, medium and large scale manufacturing, retailing and trading business buyers from around the world, and are conducted using an innovative online auctioning capability. The business is wholly
owned by De Beers with offices in Antwerp, Tel Aviv, Hong Kong and Dubai. In 2011, Diamdel delivered record profits for shareholders. Sales grew by 30 percent to US$405 million – the highest since 2006.
De Beers Société anonyme (the Company, or De Beers) was formally incorporated
in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in November 2000. It is the holding company of all De Beers Group operations. The Company is managed and controlled from its head office in Luxembourg where the board meets to attend to the business of the Group. As of 31 December 2011, the De Beers board consisted of 13 directors, rising to 14 on 8 February 2012.
Baron David de Rothschild
Five directors on the board serve in an executive capacity and are members of the Executive Committee. Each shareholder group is entitled to nominate two persons for appointment to the board. Accordingly, six directors, four of whom are non-executives and two executives (the Chairman, Nicky Oppenheimer, and Jonathan Oppenheimer) are currently appointed under the relevant clauses of the Shareholders’ Agreement. Baron David de Rothschild was appointed to the board on 5 April 2006, he is Group Chairman
of Rothschilds. He is also a director of Casino, Compagnie Financière Martin Maurel, La Compagnie Financière Saint-Honoré and President of the Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah.
Lucinda Saunders argues that De Beers should be held accountable for trading in conflict or blood diamonds. She notes that experts claim political ideologies do not motivate insurgent groups. Instead, they argue that control of diamond production is a root cause behind the war in Sierra Leone. The consensus is insurgents would not have the money to buy arms and commit human rights abuses without the willingness of diamond buyers to trade with them.
Observers note that the conflict diamond trade occurs in regions where diamonds are mined by insurgent groups and then sold for arms or cash. Conflict or blood diamonds are diamonds mined or stolen by insurgent forces in opposition to the legitimate government. Commentators speculate that the conflict diamond trade comprises between four and fifteen percent of the world trade in diamonds. Presently, conflict diamonds come from Angola, Sierra Leone, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The civil wars in Angola and Sierra Leone are examples of insurgent movements using diamonds to finance wars against official governments.
Corporate actors facilitate the conflict diamond trade by buying illicit diamonds directly or indirectly from insurgent groups. De Beers's control of the diamond trade makes its involvement with conflict diamonds particularly relevant. De Beers has set the price of diamonds for the entire diamond industry by acquiring the majority of diamonds before they reach the market. Although De Beers no longer operates any buying activities in Angola or Sierra Leone, it is claimed that the organization acquires diamonds from these areas by buying from outside dealers.
De Beers is a corporation controlled by the Oppenheimer family. De Beers controls about sixty percent of the world's uncut diamond sales. De Beers' involvement with diamonds from Angola and Sierra Leone reflects their old policy of acquiring the majority of diamonds produced world-wide in an effort to keep the diamond supply steady and diamond prices stable. De Beers bought diamonds from Angola in the 1990s when UNITA occupied most diamond mines in the country, in addition, it acquired diamonds from Sierra Leone through outside dealers thereby providing funds to
combatants, who perpetuated strife in the region. The United Nations also reports that De Beers was involved in the Angolan conflict diamond trade.
Matloff claims De Beers bought between US$500,000,000 and US$800,000,000 worth of diamonds from UNITA controlled mines between 1992 and 1993. It has also been stated that De Beers spent US$40,000,000 per month in efforts to buy up UNITA diamonds. These guys fed and sustained wars, and Lucinda Saunders insists they should be held liable under the ATCA.
Lucinda Saunders quite rightly concludes "The trade in conflict diamonds can be stopped, and could have been stopped years ago if De Beers had decided that human life was more important than profits. The threat of litigation would have made De Beers contemplate the results before engaging in this trade. Amending the ATCA and adopting more comprehensive legislation will make this threat a real possibility, thereby forcing multinational corporations to carefully consider the lives at stake in their business choices."

Why The West Is Killing And Plundering In Africa; (Part One) The Randgold Resources
Randgold Resources Limited was incorporated under the laws of Jersey, Channel Islands in August 1995, to engage in the exploration and development of gold deposits in Sub-Saharan Africa. Their principal executive offices are located at 3rd Floor Unity Chambers, 28 Halkett Street, St. Helier, Jersey, JE2 4WJ Channel Islands. Their agent in the United States is CT Corporation System, 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011.
Randgold discovered the Morila deposit during December 1996 and subsequently financed, built and commissioned the Morila mine. During July 2000, they concluded the sale of 50% of their interest in Morila Limited (and also a shareholder loan made by them to Morila Limited) to AngloGold Ashanti for $132 million in cash. They have an 80% controlling interest in Société des Mines de Loulo SA, or Somilo, through a series of transactions culminating in April 2001. The Loulo mine commenced operations in October 2005 and mines the Gara (formerly Loulo) and Yalea deposits. They discovered the Yalea deposit in 1997 and have an 89% controlling interest in Société des Mines de Tongon SA, or Tongon.
In February 2004, they announced they would develop a new mine at Loulo in western Mali. Construction continued through 2005 and the new open pit mine went into production in October 2005. In addition, their board agreed to proceed with the development of the underground mine and, after the award of the development contract, work commenced with the construction of the boxcut at the Yalea mine in August 2006.
They accessed first ore at Yalea in April 2008 with full production beginning in 2010. They commenced development of Loulo’s second underground mine, Gara, in 2010 with first ore scheduled to be delivered to the plant by the second quarter of 2011.
In April 2004, Resolute Mining Limited, or Resolute, acquired the Syama mine from Randgold. Resolute has subsequently paid them $6 million in cash and assumed liabilities of $7 million, of which $4 million owing to Randgold has been settled. The agreement entered into in June 2004 between the parties provides for the payment of a production royalty by Resolute to Randgold, relating to Syama’s production, equal to $10 per ounce on the first million ounces produced by Syama and $5 per ounce on the next three million ounces produced by Syama. This royalty payment is capped at $25 million. Randgold received their first royalties in 2009.
On November 1, 2005, Randgold completed a public offering of 8,125,000 of their ordinary shares, including ADSs (American Depositary Shares), resulting in gross proceeds to them of $109.7 million. The new shares were allocated to institutional shareholders in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada ad others.
On December 6, 2007, Randgold completed a public offering of 6,821,000 of their ordinary shares, including ADSs, resulting in gross proceeds to them of $240 million. A portion of the proceeds from the offering were used for the development of the Tongon project, and all remaining proceeds used for such organic and corporate opportunities, including possible acquisitions, as might arise.
During 2007, peace initiatives in Côte d’Ivoire continued and Randgold completed a feasibility study which allowed their board to approve the development of the new mine at Tongon subject to the approval of the mining convention by the Côte d’Ivoire Minister of Mines and Energy. Construction of the mine started at the end of 2008 and its first gold was produced in November 2010.
On August 4, 2009, Randgold completed a public offering of 5,750,000 of their ordinary shares, including ADSs, resulting in gross proceeds to them of $341.8 million. The proceeds from the offering are being used to fund the feasibility studies for the Gounkoto and Massawa projects, to develop the Gounkoto, Massawa and Kibali projects, and for other organic and corporate opportunities, including possible acquisitions.
On October 15, 2009, Randgold completed the acquisition of 50% of Moto Goldmines Limited (“Moto Goldmines”), in conjunction with AngloGold Ashanti, which resulted in a 50:50 joint venture control of the Kibali project in the DRC. On December 22, 2009 they completed a further acquisition of a 20% interest, on behalf of the joint venture, from Société des Mines d’Or de Kilo-Moto (“Sokimo”), the parastatal
mining company of the DRC, resulting in an effective interest in the Kibali project of 45%.
During 2010, Randgold completed the feasibility study for the Gounkoto project. The feasibility study is based on a toll treat project whereby the ore is mined and fed through an onsite fixed crusher. The crushed ore is then loaded onto dedicated haul trucks and trucked approximately 25 kilometers to Loulo and fed directly into the Loulo plant. Mining at Gounkoto commenced in January 2011 and processing was anticipated to commence by mid-year 2011.
During November 2009, Randgold completed the sale of their Kiaka gold project to Volta Resources Inc., for $2 million in cash and 20 million Volta Resources Inc. shares. During 2010, they sold 15.5 million Volta Resources Inc. shares for a net profit of $19.3 million. Randgold Resources is reputed to be the most active explorer of gold in sub-Saharan Africa.
“On December 20, 2012, a vaccination tragedy hit the small village of Gouro, located in northern Chad, Africa.
According to the newspaper La Voix, out of five hundred children who received the new meningitis vaccine MenAfriVac, at least 40 of them between the ages of 7 and 18 have become paralyzed.
Those children also suffered hallucinations and convulsions. Since this report, the true extent of this tragedy is coming to light, as parents of these vaccinated children have reported yet more injuries.
The authorities in the area are shaken, as citizens set fire to a sanitary administration vehicle in a demonstration of their frustration and anger at the government’s negligence.”
This is just the most recent situation where the vaccine programs in Africa have been exposed as dangerous and counter productive.
It is also evident that this is a part of a greater eugenics effort which is specifically targeted at developing countries. Most often it is shown that these vaccines are filled with toxic chemicals that have sterilizing effects.
Various tax exempt foundations waste billions of dollars every year on untested vaccinations, genetically modified food projects, and birth control, instead of spending that money on improving water systems and infrastructure.
If a child gets vaccinated and is still forced to survive on contaminated water every day, they really aren’t much better off at all, even if the vaccines were safe, which they are not.
Sterilizing vaccinations are not just hearsay. In fact, in 1995, UNICEF’s anti-tetanus vaccinations were contaminated with B-hCG, a pregnancy hormone that can permanently sterilize women.
The cost of improving basic public services would actually be much less than the vaccination projects and would greatly improve health, but it wouldn’t reduce the population, so that option is not considered.
Today most eugenics projects are filtered through tax exempt foundations and international organizations like the United Nations, Club Of Rome, Rockefeller Foundation, Ford Foundation, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation just to name a few.
Interestingly enough, this new vaccine also has ties to the Gates foundation. The article sourced earlier also mentioned that:
MenAfriVac is a new vaccine manufactured by Serum Institute of India Limited. According to The Meningitis Vaccine Project (MVP), it is the first vaccine to gain approval to travel outside the cold chain, meaning that the vaccine can be transported without refrigeration or ice packs for up to four days:
“The meningitis A vaccine known as MenAfriVac®, created to meet the needs of Africa’s meningitis belt, can now be kept in a controlled temperature chain (CTC) at temperatures of up to 40°C for up to four days, a decision that could help increase campaign efficiency and coverage and save funds normally spent maintaining the challenging cold chain during the “last mile” of vaccine delivery.”
The data on the MenAfriVac vaccine is further backed by the World Health Organization’s website and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation website.
So, why does this information differ vastly from the information given on the manufacturer’s website? Serum Institute of India Ltd. stated under the section marked STORAGE:
“MenAfriVac should be stored and transported between 2-8ºC. Protect from light. The diluent should be stored at 25°C. It is recommended to protect the reconstituted vaccine from direct sunlight. Do not exceed the expiry date stated on the external packaging.”
Since this has occurred there has been no media attention whatsoever and the Gates Foundation, as well as the World Health Organization and other involved agencies, have been completely silent.
Easing into my 40s, I’m finally starting to understand the urgency of time, and the appeal of leaving a lasting legacy. What will I leave behind to my daughters, and my nieces and nephews? What can I do for my grandchildren before they’re even born, so that they have an opportunity for a life as blessed as mine has been? What is worth building, protecting, and passing on?
I, for one, cannot stand the thought of bowing my head for decades more, only to look back from the twilight of my life at my gathered children and grandchildren, knowing that I failed to act to protect their most precious liberty.
Then it struck me; do I love my children any less now, that I would not sacrifice all that I am for them at this moment, if that is what liberty demands?
Politicians in Illinois, New York, and Washington, DC are incapable of grasping the true meaning of that word, sacrifice.
To them, “sacrifice” is what someone else must give up in order for them to have their way. At best, “sacrifice” to them is having to delay their desires, of having to steal away what they would take from us in partial-measures, buried in massive bills that we have to pass to find out whats in them.
Word has come down in recent days that the President of the United States may attempt to gut the Second Amendment via an executive order, reclassifying popular self-loading firearms as Title II weapons the same as hand grenades, rocket launchers, and crew-served machine guns. In doing so, he would force you to register your firearms with the Federal government, pay a draconian tax for merely keeping what you already own, and shred your right to privacy, allowing the federal government into your home unannounced to “check up” on or confiscate your guns at any moment they see fit.
From NFA ’34, to GCA ’68, to FOPA ’86, and the ’94 Crime Bill, the federal government has chipped away at the rights of gun owners in the name of “public safety.” Tellingly, the safety they’ve sought to protect in each and every one of those laws has been their own, attempting to defang the people so that when the people finally realize they have been cornered by their would-be masters, they have nothing left with which to strike back in their own defense.
Not one step more. That is what I pledge to my children.
I will accept no executive orders that reclassifies the most common and popular sporting rifle in America into a de facto “machine gun” just because a narcissist son of a drunken communist claims it is his right to do so.
I will not accept a ban on any firearms, or magazines from a self-absorbed Congress or any other imagined superior.
I will not give up one more cartridge, one more inch, or one more right so that statists in either party can constrict our liberties yet again in the false claim of safety, a claim that only serves their desire for absolute power without consequence.
Captain John Parker was a veteran of the French and Indian War when he ordered his troops of the Lexington Militia—not Minutemen, mind you, but the normal regular militia—to muster on Lexington Green. Parker was dying of advanced tuberculosis; he’d be dead within six months. His orders to his men as he faced 700 approaching regulars with less than 70 men are recorded for posterity. “Stand your ground. Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.”
I can chart the path forward for no other man, but I will contest to their last breaths the desires of petty tyrants and their co-conspirators if they cross this red line that determines that the soap box, ballot box, and jury box have failed, and that the cartridge box is our last resort.
I will go to my death if this time comes to pass, orphaning and widowing those I hold most dear. For that I am truly regretful, just as I regret the lives I must attempt to cut short so that my children will breathe free. I know that in my sights will be another mother’s son or daughter, likely with children of their own. But they will have made their choice of whom to serve, and I have made mine.
There is no desire for bloodshed in my heart, but if they want a war, let it begin here.
JFK2 - The sequel to Oliver Stone's JFK, you won't see in the cinema. A thoroughly documented criminal indictment establishing beyond a reasonable doubt the guilt of George H.W. Bush as a supervisor in the conspiracy to assassinate John Kennedy. The evidence relies primarily on government documents and public records. The center piece of the evidence is a memo entitled "Assassination of President John F. Kennedy", signed by J Edgar Hoover, head of the FBI, 5 days after the assassination, which names Bush as a supervisor of CIA-trained assassins. Another FBI memo establishes Bush's presence in the Dallas area at the time of the assassination. These memos are corroborated extensively with details from Bush's own official history of his life (also known as JFK 2 Part 1).
It (AFRICOM) involved, J. Peter Pham said, “protecting access to hydrocarbons and other strategic resources which Africa has in abundance, a task which includes ensuring against the vulnerability of those natural riches and ensuring that no other interested third parties, such as China, India, Japan, or Russia, obtain monopolies or preferential treatment.”

The US military has announced that it is dedicating a US Army brigade to carry out continuous operations on the African continent. According to the Associated Press report on the decision, it is “part of an intensifying Pentagon effort to train countries to battle extremists and give the United States a ready and trained force to dispatch to Africa if crises requiring the US military emerge.”
Tapped to serve as Washington’s version of the Afrika Corps is the 2nd Brigade, First Infantry Division, known as the “Dagger Brigade,” which includes approximately 3,500 troops. According to the Pentagon, it has already scheduled 104 separate missions beginning next March, deploying units ranging from small training teams to 800-member battalions to as many as 35 countries across Africa.
The re-assignment of this brigade is only part of an effort to beef up the Pentagon’s Africa Command, or AFRICOM, which was created in 2007 but remains headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, with, until now, no African government willing to provide it with a base of operations on the continent.
Since then, AFRICOM has drawn blood in Libya, where it coordinated the US-NATO war for regime-change that toppled the government of Col. Muammar Gaddafi in October of last year, It has deployed over 100 troops in central Africa, supposedly to track down the guerrillas of the Lord’s Resistance Army, and provided training to a number of countries’ armies, which Washington hopes to use as proxy forces, or cannon fodder, in pursuit of US interests.
Army Chief of Staff Gen. Raymond Odierno told the right-wing daily Washington Times this week that the buildup of AFRICOM was part of a new global military strategy known as “Regionally Aligned Forces,” which the Pentagon is attempting to implement as it continues drawing down occupation forces from Afghanistan, after being compelled to pull out of Iraq.
“It’s about us moving toward a scalable, tailorable capability that helps them to shape the environment they’re working in, doing a variety of tasks from building partner capability to engagement, to multilateral training to bilateral training to actual deployment of forces, if necessary,” said Odierno.
In other words, any number of US military operations, ranging from disaster relief to so-called humanitarian assistance, as well as training African troops, all serve as a means of “shaping the environment,” i.e., preparing the ground for direct US armed intervention.
In 2007, J. Peter Pham, a State Department advisor who has been a permanent member of the advisory board of AFRICOM since its creation, testified as to the core mission of the new Pentagon command, which he spelled out in fairly blunt terms. It involved, he said, “protecting access to hydrocarbons and other strategic resources which Africa has in abundance, a task which includes ensuring against the vulnerability of those natural riches and ensuring that no other interested third parties, such as China, India, Japan, or Russia, obtain monopolies or preferential treatment.” This last consideration has become increasingly decisive. In a real sense, the buildup of AFRICOM is a corollary of the Obama administration’s strategic “pivot” to the Pacific. Just as it is seeking to employ military encirclement as a means of offsetting China’s growing economic domination of that crucial region and its rising challenge to US capitalism’s global position, so in Africa, Washington is attempting to use US military strength to counter China’s increasing influence on the continent.
China has outstripped both the US and the European Union as Africa’s leading trade partner. Bilateral trade, which amounted to barely $11 billion in 2000, topped $160 billion in 2011 and is expected to reach $200 billion this year.
Under conditions where the US is expected soon to count on West Africa for 25 percent of its petroleum imports, not to mention a variety of strategic minerals and other raw materials, the competition with China as well as economic rivals in Europe amounts to a new scramble for Africa, every bit as violent and exploitative as the original colonial conquest.
The preparations for predatory acts of militarism in Africa, however, are being made under the pretext of combating “terrorism” and the threat of “extremism” on the continent.
AFRICOM’s commander, Gen. Carter Ham, has made a series of speeches in both the US and Africa on this theme, claiming that widely disparate groups ranging from the Islamist Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb in Mali and Libya to al-Shabab in Somalia and the Boko Haram group in Nigeria are threatening to link up and coordinate their activities, posing a serious threat to the US “homeland.” Neither he nor anyone else has presented any evidence of such collaboration between movements that have shown no ambitions outside of their own national spheres.
The Wall Street Journal earlier this month put forward the same thesis in a front-page article entitled “Terror Fight shifts to Africa.” According to the Journal, the Obama administration “is considering asking Congress to approve expanded authority” to carry out military actions against alleged terrorists in Africa. Such an authorization of the use of military force was the basis for the more than decade-long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This new authorization “would be aimed at allowing US military operations in Mali, Nigeria, Libya and possibly other countries where militants have loose or nonexistent ties to al Qaeda’s Pakistan headquarters,” administration officials told the Journal .
In reality, while exploiting Al Qaeda—and organizations with “loose or nonexistent ties” to it—as a pretext for US militarist intervention, Washington has armed and directly supported Al Qaeda-linked elements, first in Libya and now in Syria, as proxy forces in its wars for regime-change.
Following last week’s UN Security Council vote authorizing intervention, Mali appears to be the most immediate target for US action, with AFRICOM openly preparing to support an intervention that is to be conducted with troops drawn from the Economic Community of West African States.
While Washington poses as Mali’s savior, the situation in that impoverished, landlocked West African country is overwhelmingly a creation of US imperialism itself. It was its intervention in Libya which sent heavily armed forces spilling over the border, and it was the US military that trained Capt. Amadou Haya Sanogo, the leader of the coup that overthrew the country’s government last March. The Pentagon put him through courses at US military bases in Georgia, Virginia and Texas.
The buildup of AFRICOM and the preparation of new wars on the continent make clear that the interventions in Libya and Syria are only the beginning of what amounts to a global offensive aimed at re-dividing and re-colonizing much of the world. This eruption of American militarism, the byproduct of the historic crisis of US and world capitalism, goes hand in hand with ever more savage attacks on the social conditions and democratic rights of the working class at home.

Merry Christmas?
Merry Christmas? I would hope so... to you and loved ones. But please remember those less fortunate than you are. Say a little prayer for all Syrians and Palestinians that they may find the joy we share this season and the peace that affords us that joy. Merry Christmas.
"If circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude, that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little if at all inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their rights and those of their fellow citizens." -- The Federalist, No. 29 -- Alexander Hamilton
"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. . . Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them." -- Thoughts On Defensive War, 1775 - Thomas Paine
"What, sir, is the use of militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty. . . Whenever Government means to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise a standing army upon its ruins." -- Debate, U.S. House of Representatives, August 17, 1789 -- Elbridge Gerry
"The great object is, that every man be armed." -- Patrick Henry
"That the people have a Right to mass and to bear arms; that a well regulated militia composed of the Body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper natural and safe defense of a free State..." -- George Mason
"Are we at last brought to such an humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our own defense? Where is the difference between having our arms under our own possesion and under our own direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?" -- Patrick Henry
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined.... O sir, we should have fine times, indeed, if to punish tyrants, it were only sufficient to assemble the people!" -- Patrick Henry
"No free government was ever founded or ever preserved its liberty, without uniting the characters of the citizen and soldier in those destined for the defense of the state.... Such are a well regulated militia, composed of the freeholders, citizen and husbandman, who take up arms to preserve their property, as individuals, and their rights as freemen." -- State Gazette (Charleston), September 8, 1788
"While the people have property, arms in their hands, and only a spark of noble spirit, the most corrupt Congress must be mad to form any project of tyranny." -- Rev. Nicholas Collin, Fayetteville Gazette (N.C.), October 12, 1789
"Another source of power in government is a military force. But this, to be efficient, must be superior to any force that axists among the people, or which they can command; for otherwise this force would be annihilated, on the first exercise of acts of oppression. Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive." -- Noah Webster An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, Philadelphia, 1787
"And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press, or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States, who are peacable citizens, from keeping their own arms; or to raise standing armies, unless necessary for the defense of the United States, or of some one or more of them; or to prevent the people from petitioning, in a peacable and orderly manner, the federal legislature, for a redress of grievances; or to subject the people to unreasonable searches and seizures of their persons, papers or possesions." -- Samuel Adams, Debates of the Massachusetts Convention of 1788
"A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves . . . and include all men capable of bearing arms. . . To preserve liberty it is essential that the whole body of people always possess arms... The mind that aims at a select militia, must be influenced by a truly anti-republican principle."
"... whereas, to preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them..." -- Richard H. Lee, Additional Letters from the Federal Farmer 53, 1788
"... the loyalists in the beginning of the late war, who objected to associating, arming and fighting, in defense of our liberties, because these measures were not constitutional. A free people should always be left... with every possible power to promote their own happiness." -- Pennsylvania Gazette, April 23, 1788
"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.... And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.... The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." -- Thomas Jefferson, in letter to William S. Smith, 1787
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." (Thomas Jefferson Papers p. 334, 1950)
My long-distance interest in the Sandy Hook events is based on ongoing work with a team of anti-pedophile journalists and activists who for over a decade have tracked and exposed American pedophile rings from Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam) to Beijing, China.
In all cases so far, our team discovered that these frontline pedophiles supply children for sexual services to VIPs traveling in Asia, including diplomats from the highest levels of the White House and State Department, top executives of major corporations, and heads of universities and aid agencies. Nearly all the patrons involved in this cruel pastime have backgrounds in US intelligence the CIA, NSA or State Department intelligence. The individuals are from diverse religious backgrounds Catholic, Jewish and Orthodox - while the core facilitators are often priests with Jesuit order, and to a lesser degree Franciscans and Benedictines.
At an orphanage in Cambodia, it took three years for our multinational team against death threats from armed policemen and undisguised hostility from NGOs to realize the expulsion of a pedophile coven, which included a former US ambassador to the United Nations, the celebrated head of a new media program at an Ivy League campus and a renowned correspondent based at the Tokyo American Club. When the police shut down their strong-encryption computer center and satellite uplink, used for sweetheart messaging and exporting child-porn videos, the American pedophiles stripped out all the programs, rendering a room of Apple computers inoperable. Later, at a celebration for the “liberation” of the orphans from the grip of these abusive men and their compliant wives, the teachers told me that the average age of the boys and girls who had been invited to sleep over at weekend parties was “10 years old.”
One member of our team who resided in Cambodia suffered an “accident” in a cowardly act of retaliation by that viscous coven with all the fingers on both hands broken and bleeding from his ears as he lay unconscious along a highway. It’s taken our brave friend three years to regain his formidable intellectual powers as a former political speechwriter. I use the term “coven” because these predators work as families parents, children and grandchildren indoctrinated from infancy that inflicting trauma on helpless children is life's greatest pleasure.
Pedophilia is a psychiatric illness that is spreading worldwide because the globalist elite, much like a deranged fraternity from hazing hell, use it to control their peers and underlings through the commission of shameful and often lethal crimes. The photos are enough to prevent defection, informing to the police or sending leaks to the media.
The American power elite’s predilection for young boys has always been a privilege as shown in past scandals involving White House pages. One of the first postwar American ambassadors to Tokyo was a voracious pursuer of teenage boys inside gay bath houses frequented by rightwing Japanese militarists, the very same war criminals who had committed unspeakable atrocities against civilians for example converting Christian boys schools into male brothels. The shared lust of the former soldiers from both sides corrupted and ultimately reversed the attempt by a victorious Allied Supreme Command to transform Japan into a peaceful democracy. Authoritarian perversion remains in command.
In recent years with the rise of Internet file-sharing, a major shift in pedophile profiles has appeared in the increasingly lower age of pedophiles. It is shocking that college-age men, who should be involved in same-age affairs (with either sex we are not being judgmental about preference) are instead eager to abduct kids who are barely out of infancy and videotape brutal rape scenes to share with their online fellows. Today, young men of college age serve as procurers, pimps and producers of child porn for their sugar daddies.
These younger pedophiles, at least while in Asia, are often studying abroad on US government fellowships, CIA grants or working for Soros-funded NGOs. In Beijing, I had a verbal sparring match with a young American video producer who was making a documentary on child abductions by Chinese adoption rings. He had no intention of saving kids from these criminals, since his stated ambition was to launch a pornography industry in China. This was the son of a leading faculty member at a Connecticut prep school, which sponsors troubled boys and prepares them for a life of male prostitution with dormitory screenings of videos showing the gang rape of preteen girls with the knowledge and sometimes approval of teachers, according to testimony submitted to court.
After first being a victim of sexual assault and then acting as a perpetrator against younger boys or girls, many of these young men develop passive-aggressive personalities. When challenged, they tend react with suppressed rage under a blank expression and then get their revenge with a strange prank against their accusers.
Many women might nod in agreement that men are awful creatures, but from our experience in Southeast Asia, there are also many female predators. On an early-morning visit to a Peace Corps camp on the Laotian border, a friend in the U.S. Army was stunned to discover that every American women all graduates of elite East Coast colleges was asleep with a 12-to-14 girl tucked inside her bed. Americans are not alone in this sickness of mind and body Europeans, Australians and Japanese are among the notorious child molesters. Sexual domination of weaker individuals, especially children who cannot defend their rights, is a hallmark of imperialism.
There is one more element involved in the pedophile industry: the organized crime groups that finance the purchase or kidnapping of children. These gangsters are not just low-life elements but also include professional gangsters - “businessmen” with connections to politicians and bankers.
A point that needs mentioning is that during youth, I spent a summer at a prep school in Connecticut on a National Science Foundation program but it had nothing to do with MK-ULTRA.
Mind Control in Connecticut: Catcher in the Rye
In 1942, at the start of World War II, the Jesuit order opened Fairfield University in southern Connecticut. The new Catholic college was erected on the country estate of Brewster Jennings, then chairman of the Socony Mobil Oil Company, which after a series of mergers became ExxonMobil. After serving as a naval officer in World War I, the Hartford-born oil executive graduated from Yale and became closely associated with the OSS and CIA. He founded the Avalon Foundation, since renamed the Mellon Foundation, which has funded pacification programs inside American society. (Outed spy Valerie Plame worked under cover at the Brewster Jennings “brass plate” company, which acted as the CIA’s counter-proliferation department.) Although the information remains classified, it had to be OSS chief Bill Donovan who prompted the formation of Fairfield University as an intelligence training center for potential CIA recruits vetted from the elite preparatory schools in Connecticut.
During the war in Europe, a noncommissioned office of Russian Jewish descent assigned to U.S. Defense Intelligence worked on Operation Paperclip (the transport of Nazi scientists to U.S. laboratories) and Project Artichoke (smuggling German Jews into Palestine in support of a Zionist state). His name was J.D. “Jerry” Salinger. Later, he served in the Counter-Intelligence Corps, debriefing and reassigning Nazi officers, including those who had conducted psychiatric experiments on prisoners of war.
At war’s end, Salinger lived in Tarrytown, New York, but was soon ordered to move across the state border to Stamford, Connecticut, close to Fairfield University. He resided in a converted barn, out of public view, presumably to continue his special area of intelligence work, the field testing of the MK-ULTRA methods refined by the sadistically clinical Dr. Sidney Gottlieb (the pseudonym of Joseph Schieder), who ran the main mind-control lab at Jesuit-run Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., which is also a finishing school for diplomats in the State Department.
In the Connecticut countryside during his “lost years”, Salinger penned “The Catcher in the Rye”, which contains the command code-words for MK-ULTRA assassins. The protagonist Holden Caulfield is a study of a paranoiac passive-aggressive character, whose favorite expression is: “You’re killing me.”
CIA Partners with Organized Crime in New England
Around 1950, while Salinger was in Stamford, the CIA recruited a South Boston convict nicknamed “Whitey” Bulger to supply young runaways for mind-control experiments under the fast-expanding MK-ULTRA programs being set up at 44 universities across the United States. The centers for the New England drug experiments were probably the Whiting Forensic Facility at the Connecticut Valley Hospital in Middleford, Connecticut, and Bridgewater Hospital in Massachusetts, the region’s psychiatric facilities for the criminally insane.
With CIA backing, Bulger built up his Winter Hill Gang, composed mainly of Irishmen, who strong-armed their way to control over the Boston’s gambling scene and drug trafficking. While little is known about the political activities of the Bulger gang, its rise to crime dominance coincided with the expansion of weapons smuggling into Northern Ireland in support of the IRA. A parallel cross-Atlantic traffic in drugs (and illegal immigration in the reverse direction) began at the same time. The predominantly Irish political machine of Boston from the Prohibition Era smuggling tycoon Joseph Kennedy Sr, to House Majority Leader Tip O’Neill gave their blessings to the flourishing organized crime network and voiced support for the patriotic IRA “freedom fighters,” who returned the favor to Washington with murderous attacks on American-loathing British figures such as Lord Montbatten.
Connecticut, under control of the Patriciarca crime family, was off-limits to Bulger. The day-to-day operations of the Sicilian immigrants were run by Bill Grasso, head of the clan that later produced Connecticut’s first female governor.
Starting in the 1980s, the DOJ, FBI and CIA launched an all-out war against the Patriciarca mob in order to install their puppet Whitey Bulger as crime boss of New England. FBI agent John Connelly took credit for infiltrating and busting up the Patriarca clan, but later he was exposed as a mole for Bulger. By the early 1990s, Bulger set up his Jai Alai Associates, a betting syndicate based in Connecticut and Florida. Finally, all of New England was safe for CIA smuggling, support for terrorism, money-laundering and mind-control operations.
In 2011, Bulger made headlines with his arrest in Malibu, California, where he had lived for more than a decade “undetected” despite being on the FBI “most wanted” list - on a long vacation thanks to his relationship with the CIA. If there was one point of irritation, however, between the Irish mobster and his controllers, it was his opposition to drug use by teenagers. After seeing first-hand how MK-ULTRA had destroyed the minds of his young recruits, Bulger ordered his gang members never to sell drugs to teenagers. Even a ruthless mobster has more decency that the self-styled “patriots” who run the intelligence services.
Child Porn Hub for New York and Washington
Whatever its genteel image of colonial homes and autumnal foliage, Connecticut has a sleazy underside embedded in its servant pool, welfare households and the chronic unemployed. Bridgeport, with its low-income Puerto Rican population, is a major center for prostitution and recruitment of prostitutes for VIP clients in New York and the nation’s capital.
The pedophile rings have a social-economic hierarchy at the top are the VIP clients, then the intermediaries, often Catholic priests or social-services managers, further down the ladder the operatives losers recruited from prep schools and college campuses - and finally the supply itself - money-hungry willing parents and the unwillingly abducted children.
Newtown, like Fairfield and Stamford, is part of the Diocese of Bridgeport, which got into legal trouble in 2001 due to lawsuits by 23 victims of pedophilia committed by priests. Bishop Edward Egan, then diocese head, was a protector of sexual offender priests, sending them to other areas when parental complaints reached the ears of the police. After the plaintiffs won an out-of-court settlement, the Diocese petitioned the US Supreme Court to quash the thousands of documents detailing the beastly sex crimes. In 2009 Opus Dei honcho Justice Antonin Scalia determined that the court records should not be made public.
In this past year’s pedophile scandal at Penn State, another Opus Dei leader, former FBI director Louis Freeh, was hired as a consultant by the Nittany Lions football team. His whitewash report put most of the blame on head coach Joe Paterno, while suppressing the names and backgrounds of the wealthy and powerful boosters who were provided sexual services from the young football players.
In Connecticut, the Vatican had an interest in wiping the slate clean, and so did the CIA. The clean slate turned out to be a bloody mess.
Agency-Spawned Pedophiles
The MK-ULTRA program that reached into campuses across Connecticut quickly created a human garbage heap of wrecked minds and twisted souls. The child abuse and drugs routinely administered to young trainees led to a permanent social fixture of sadism and sexual abuse throughout New England from the gutter up to the governing class.
In 2011, a Newtown resident named Edwin Wilson was arrested for having a months-long sexual relationship with a 4-year-old girl and producing child-porn videos of their sexual encounters. The arrest was a part of a wide crackdown order the state attorney general, Richard Blumenthal which boosted his successful campaign in the U.S. Senate race. Other cases included: a 24-year-old Hispanic male in Hartford who shot videos of sex with a pre-teen girl; a DJ in Plainfield arraigned on similar charges, an older theater and film teacher accused of using Taft school’s equipment to make kiddie porn the list goes on in sickening detail. Fairfield University, where MK-ULTRA was implanted into New England, recently saw two staffers implicated in the rape of 23 Haitian boys during the earthquake relief effort.
Adam Lanza fits the profile of a pedophile-ring recruit young enough to approach children at the local schools and in the churches, possessing the computer skills to produce child-porn videos and typically passive-aggressive in personality. The Lanzas attended the Saint Rosa of Lima Church, where eight child parishioners were among the shooting victims. Santa Rosa is the very same order that sponsors the western-state hospital that employed Michael Jackson’s physician Dr. Conrad Murray. As in the case of Jackson’s Neverland, after a child-sex experiment blossoms, it must be shut down.
The Lone Gun-Boy Theory
Nancy Lanza kept an arsenal of firearms, and ordered her son to be constantly under watch by older boys. She must have had good reason for being armed to the teeth. Judging from her hoard of rifles and hand guns, she was expecting an all-out assault from a coven of pedophiles, not an attack by a single shooter. The lone gun-boy theory is sheer nonsense her son may have been an accomplice in giving the assailants access to his home but ended up murdered as a patsy.
The coven is larger and more powerful than Mrs. Lanza could ever have imagined. Sexual violation is the key to creating intelligence agents and assassins who are impervious to reason and mercy, lacking any original thoughts or moral qualms. Plus a supply of children is needed in Congress and the White House to entertain the satraps and moguls from Colombian drug lords to Israeli weapons dealers and French money launderers, not to mention America’s own homegrown pervs.
The Motive: Payback for a Double-Cross
If the culprits had been Adam Lanza and his pals, then their response to grounding would have been something like posting photos and address of naked children. The method of the shooting point-blank execution-style gun shots indicate that the assailants were professional hit men, probably allied with the Winter Hill Gang.
The Sandy Hook assault happened probably because of a split between competing institutions and diverging policies. On one hand, the gangland figures who cooperated with CIA mind-control program that promoted child-sex as a means of ensuring obedience and secrecy were being challenged by politicians playing up parental demands to clean up the scandalous child-sex problem in Connecticut.
The dirty FBI agent John Connelly was more of a double agent and go-between for the Feds and not simply a Winter Hill mole as portraying at his sentencing. The arrest of Whitey Bulger was a pure-and-simple double-cross by the FBI and CIA, who had used him as an ally in MK-ULTRA and informant for more than a half-century. In his ambitious drive to win a U.S. senatorial seat, state attorney general and now Senator Blumenthal broke the basic rules of mob cooperation. And now that has led to a war on the streets and in the schools.
Unlike the Sicilian crime families who went down easy, the fighting Irish criminals can be counted on to put up a street battle with the same flair as in the movie “The Gangs of New York.” The gangsters have no shortage of allies in the pimps, drug dealers, pedophiles, punks and deranged freaks who have been caught up in the sudden dragnet. The police are outnumbered and easily outgunned. It’s happened before, as in Fort Apache in the South Bronx. Sandy Hook is just the first installment of a payback. If the Feds push any harder, then Bridgeport and Boston will soon be looking like Belfast during the troubles or Beirut in the bad old days.
Stop Drugging the Kids
The mass media is under pressure to cover up the incident with sympathetic blather instead of a sustained probe. Forensic evidence is being literally buried. America is moving on where to, nobody knows. The politicians and cops are now silent and glum. Relying on arrests and wiretapping, they have forgotten that the fight against crime begins with addressing social justice, economic fairness and education and in some unfortunate cases, psychiatric care.
Was a Senate seat worth the lives of all those children and teachers? Blumenthal, who paints himself as a clone of the erstwhile New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, will have to live with that question for the remainder of his life. Is the CIA satisfied that its mind-control techniques that have created hordes of homicidal monsters from Iraq to Libya and now Connecticut?
The lesson of Sandy Hook is that mind-control cannot itself be controlled. Programmed killers are like robots without power-off switches. The process of transforming innocent children into robots through sexual abuse is inhumane and a crime. Whatever MK-ULTRA is called today - since we know it still exists after seeing the Abu Ghraib Prison photos - it must be shut down forever or the murderous nightmare will go on and on. And mind-altering drugs are not just for sinister purposes, since at least 60 percent of U.S. children are on a pharmaceutical dosages long before they can learn how to think. Even parents act as mind-controllers against their own kids.
Now, with the investigation terminated, comes the diversionary exercise of “gun control”, a national effort led by Joe Biden, a member of the Knights of Malta, a politician with an intelligence background who is sworn to protect the interests of the Vatican. Say it ain't so, Joe. Leave intact the right of armed self-defense or the gangsters will take over everything, but get rid of the drugs and end the mind control and America will be a safer place, especially for its children.
