9/11

Big book, you must read pages  652- 656 as soon as you get time—you will be shocked beyond words.
 



I just remembered why I couldn’t send as pages—for some reason, the script appears like print size 52!!! Sad smile and I can’t even get it on the pages—I have never seen a pdf do that before--
 
It is about the supersonic hitting the pentagon from a ship off the atlantic.
 
This guy knows a lot of shit—I have to scan most pages because I already knew most of this stuff—I have studied lots and one time spent 2 weeks on researching this.
 
So far I did learn these facts:
*because of the height, thermonuclear was installed under the towers during construction or they weren’t allowed to build (for destruction if needed)
*all residents surrounding the flight 93 wreckage area were ordered to move and under house arrest for 2 weeks
*the object that hit Pentagon had a thermonuclear warhead ‘inactive’ when sent
*32 hard drives were removed minutes before the towers collapsed showing 100 million dollars transferred through credit card transactions to off shore accounts that day(someone that had prior knowledge of attack and thought hard drives would perish)
*4000 Jews did not show for work that day at WTC complex ( I knew this, but not the count)
*insurance companies liable were given money (our tax dollars) from the government to keep them quiet..AKA cancer cases, death cases, injuries, etc
*it is impossible to turn off transponder inside the plane –MUST be turned off before take off by outsider(I did not know this)
*it is presumed 2 planes were sent over atlantic and sunk flown by AWACS system without passengers—I also learned that theory is no passengers in any planes; therefore why no passenger list released even with FOIA law suits??
*all persons below the burning floors were dustified instantly by the thermonuclear underground set off by the perpetrators thinking there were warheads about to detinate in the buildings because they still thought planes had entered; who led this belief, I don’t know yet; possible because the warhead dud in the Pentagon made them think this
*persons above the burning floors were crushed and torn to shreds
*Mr Martini—the on-site construction manager of the towers –perished in the twin towers(or was disappeared ??) he knew too much to stay quiet??
*Rick Gilbey of Fargo, North Dakota shot down flight 93 –no response, no communication, not even any pilots in windows of cock pit(why no passengers in any plane theory and it was flying by AWACS system(which explains why no bodies in Shanksville
*did you know that KAL 007 also had no suitcases, no bodies, no evidence of any passengers when it was discovered, just old rags and cloths inside same as Flight 93???  Why was it flying with no passengers??

3/25/2014 — Cyclone Gillian heading towards “missing” jet search area — 20 RF Plasma Scientists on Board Jet

Leave a comment
Video update here:



_____

A tropical system has formed just Northwest of mainland Australia.

Now becoming “Cyclone Gillian” , this tropical low formed coming out of Indonesia, now heading South by Southwest towards the search area for the “missing” Malaysian Airliner (MH370).

Forecast to grow into at least a Category 2 storm.

As for the jet… I find it highly “ironic” that a jet loaded with 20 people from a company which specializes in Radio Frequency Plasma generation, laser exciters, and HF/VHF/UHF RADAR , would itself “disappear” on RADAR ….

Also, aside from the Radio Frequency aspect of things, lets not forget to mention the company just announced a breakthrough in microprocessors / semiconductors days before the jet went “missing”. (article below)

Now, a tropical system kicks up directly over the search area?  Freak weather maybe has become “FREQ” weather — as in Frequency Weather.

On Feb 25, 2014, just a few days before the jet went missing, Freescale announced its new VERY small microprocessor and semiconductor revolution:

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2453987,00.asp

freescale chip golf ball

Freescale Semiconductor on Tuesday introduced its smallest-ever ARM-based microcontroller unit (MCU) for embedded devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) market, the Kinetsis KL03.

The chip maker is billing the KL03 as “smaller than a golf ball dimple” —the 32-bit MCU with an ARM Cortex-M0+ computing core shrinks the preceding KL02 unit by 15 percent in a package that measures just 1.6-by-2.0 millimeters.

The KL03 is also 35 percent smaller than any competing Cortex-M0+ microcontroller on the market, according to Freescale. The chip maker is showcasing its new MCU at Embedded World in Nuremburg, Germany this week.

“When size is no longer a barrier to incorporating microcontrollers into edge node devices, we can start to redefine what’s possible for the Internet of Things,” said Rajeev Kumar, director of worldwide marketing and business development for Freescale’s Microcontrollers business. “We see the miniaturization of MCUs as a key driver of IoT evolution. With the groundbreaking form factors of the new Kinetis KL03, systems designers for edge node products now have the technology they need to develop entirely new product categories capable, quite literally, of changing the world.”

Possible uses for the new MCU in the burgeoning IoT space range from placement in embedded smart home systems, wearable tech products, and industrial devices to exotic applications like pairing the KL03 with a simple sensor array in a small pill that could be swallowed and provide health data to doctors, Kumar said.

The Kinetis KL03 will be sampling to Freescale partners in March for testing with the FRDM-KL03Z Freescale Freedom development board with assorted developer tools. The MCU will be made available at volume for $0.75 per unit in 100,000-unit quantities beginning in June, the company said.

The KL03′s 48MHz ARM Cortex-MO+ has a bit manipulation engine for “faster, more code-efficient handling of peripheral registers,” according to Freescale. The tiny MCU has 32KB of flash memory, 2KB of RAM, and 8K of ROM with an on-chip boot loader, with high-speed 12-bit ADC and a high-speed analog comparator. It operates on a 1.71-3.6-volt charge and utilizes low-power wake up and other low-power modes for different tasks.

3/25/2014 — Yellowstone Magma Chamber Earthquake Swarm — USGS Censoring Activity

Leave a comment
Over the past week, several reports have been coming in from viewers, telling me to check the charts in Yellowstone.   People saying the charts are showing UNREPORTED activity on multiple stations across the famous Supervolcano (national park).

Indeed, activity was occurring this past week, but NOT being counted on the USGS public feeds as earthquakes.

Earthquakes at Yellowstone not being reported?  What is this madness?

After checking the actual charts, indeed it is confirmed, there has been earthquake movement GREATER than 2.5M across the area, the charts do not lie……

Here are a couple examples of the activity NOT showing on public feeds as “earthquakes”.. yet clearly some actual movement is occurring : (censored?)

________

Move forward a few days, now currently March 25, 2014 — after the flurry of UNREPORTED activity — and now the USGS is showing THREE 3.0M+ events over the past 24 hours.

Coming from the Western edge of the Yellowstone Magma Chamber (click to view full size) :

yellowstone swarm march 25 2014



The magma chamber for the supervolcano has been found to extend further West than originally thought.  Confirmed now via subterranean “soundings” taken via ground penetrating RADAR, the chamber extends as far West as the Oregon State Line.

________

Compare the “reported” 3.0M+ events shown on the charts below, to the charts over the past few days, shown above.

The charts above show similar sized activity.  However no earthquakes were reported at Yellowstone corresponding to the charts above.

This means censorship is occurring at some point.   The earthquakes on the charts earlier this week, were not reported as earthquakes to the public.

Move forward 2-3 days… March 24, 2014 .. THREE earthquakes, greater than 3.0M, now showing on the Yellowstone charts, and also being publicly admitted on the USGS feeds.

Forecast earthquakes briefly covered here:





_____

On March 20 2014 (130am CT), I issued this earthquake forecast / watch video:



_______

In the above video, I name several earthquake “watch” areas to monitor for possible noticeable movement in the near term (7 days or less).

Several areas were named across the globe, internationally , and nationally (in the US).  A few of the specific areas named:  Indonesia, Southern California / Baja Mexico, and Oklahoma.

Since issuing the forecast, within 48 hours of issuing the watch, we’ve now seen a 6.5M occur in Northern Indonesia…  Also, a 5.2M , 4.9M, and 4.7M occur in Baja, and a 4.0M occur in Oklahoma.

Mysteriously, the 5.2M earthquake originally recorded East of Los Angeles, was wiped from the map as a “computer glitch” from the USGS.

    Understanding Ukraine: The Problems Today and Some Historical Context







    MY COMMENTS ON THIS VIDEO

    You left out a vey important part- the part about Crimea declaring its independence in 1992 and writing its own Constitution that Ukraine would not 'accept' It has tried to get the governing body of Crimea to make its laws be within the Ukrainian Constitutional boundaries but Crimea has never accepted such a thing and has done what it wants in that respect....Both Ukraine  and Russia have (had) naval headquarters in Sevastopol, a special status municipality of Ukraine within the Crimean borders . All 3 have unofficially governed their own things in this city  and basically coexisted peacefully since the Peace and Friendship Treaty.  AND Don't forget  that Russia is ALLOWED to have 25,000 troops there!!!
    Ukraine had several official languages including Russian. However , since the ousting, Russian is immediately banned ,a deliberate provocative move which would be pure stupidity unless it is to serve an underlying purpose which would be the same purpose of the whole mess- which was supposedly a spontaneous uprising of Ukrainians-NOT. And suddenly this 'new' govt wants to take over  as the 'official' governing policy states, though this has not been enforced since 1992........could it be possible that Crimea saw this coming? They did not want to be forced to do it the 'offcial ' way (as stated by Ukraine but that Crimea has never accepted or abided by).
    And perhaps they actually DID ask Russia for help?????
    Geez, is there ANYWHERE to go to find a completely objective statement of facts????  Maybe not because each fact in this quagmire history has so many perceptual angles....sigh...
    Oh, and Alaska cannot be part of Canada precisely BECAUSE it borders Russia and we want to encircle Russia...which is also a major reason that we- US, NATO, EU(add specific fingers grabbing at this piece of pie)- want Crimea with its Russian Naval HQ 2 miles off the coast of Russia and its underground submarine base....RUSSIA is not only defending Crimea but in essence Russia is defending itself....This ain't about free elections for Ukraine  or their people ...this is about  global power jockeying and the western powers are not the innocent ones here....regardless of what you may think of Russia.... they have not instigated this  ---the west has, and it is basically a move against Russia---bottom line
     
     
     No one ever mentions the fact that the  Russian troops are allowed to be there And that they were already there before all of this started....not only is this 'technically not an invasion' ..To me,.
    It is a purposeful, provocative, pernicious piece of propaganda by western media that is
    deliberately distorting reality  and specifically designed to elicit an emotional response. 
    This type of propaganda is usually a prelude to 'the next step' in a preplanned agenda.
    ...so many wars have been based on  deliberate lies...
    For me, this makes the western media look like guilty accomplices to a western agenda in what has been and whatever is to come...and all that is before I would even start to research facts....
    I hate that sort of  propaganda crap  but this seems to be the only type of news in the whole world these days....the news does not report facts,,,
    it is difficult to find truth anymore...

    'F**k the EU': Tape Reveals US Runs Ukraine Opposition

    Written by Daniel McAdams
    Thursday February 6, 2014
    Nuland Tape

    In the latest debacle for the US State Department and the Obama Administration, US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland was caught on tape micro-managing Ukraine opposition party strategies with US Ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt. That the Ukraine regime-change operation is to some degree being directed from Washington can no longer be denied.

    The tape (listen below) was released today, on the eve of Nuland's second trip to meet with Ukrainian protestors and opposition leaders in the past two months -- last time she passed out cookies to protestors.

    The taped conversation demonstrates in clear detail that while Secretary of State John Kerry decries any foreign meddling in Ukraine's internal affairs, his State Department is virtually managing the entire process. The "F**k the EU" part is her expressing anger that the EU is not moving fast enough with regime change in Ukraine and her plan is to get the UN involved in the process.

    As the Kyiv Post reports:
    In a conversation leaked online and posted to YouTube on Feb. 6, voices closely resembling those of U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt and U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland discuss loosely the roles of Ukrainian opposition leaders and the United Nations, and frustration over inaction and indecision by the European Union in solving Ukraine’s political crisis.
    ...
    The voice allegedly of Nuland adds that [Ukrainian opposition leader Vitali] Klitschko should not be given a role in government.

    “I don’t think it’s necessary, I don’t think it’s a good idea,” she says.

    “Yeah… I guess… in terms of him not going into the government, just let him sort of stay out and do his political homework and stuff,” Pyatt says.
    ...
    Before the call ends, Nuland tells Pyatt she has “one more wrinkle” for him.

    Commenting on European pressure put on Yanukovych – or lack thereof – she explains that she has spoken to the United Nations and has gotten an official there who said that Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary general, agreed to send someone to Ukraine to “help glue this thing and to have the UN glue it.”

    She adds: “And you know, fuck the EU.”

    “Exactly,” Pyatt replies. “And I think we got to do something to make it stick together, because you can be sure that if it does start to gain altitude the Russians will be working behind the scenes to torpedo it. Let me work on Klitschko, and I think we should get a Western personality to come out here (to Ukraine) and midwife this thing,’’ he adds.
    The call is concrete confirmation of what we have been writing here at RPI for some time. This is a cruder and more violent version of the US-sponsored Orange Revolution.

    Particularly interesting from the recording is the treatment of UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon as some sort of junior errand boy for Washington. That explains his cowardly move to rescind Iran's invitation to participate in the Geneva II talks as soon as Secretary Kerry demanded it.

    One can only wonder why the government of Ukraine does not rescind Nuland's visa and send her packing back to Washington, along with the US ambassador. No normal country on earth would allow foreign officials to actively plot inside the country with those seeking to overthrow the government.

    A final bit of irony in the US government reaction to the bombshell tape is State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki directly accusing the Russian government of being behind the tape and expressing shock -- shock! -- that a foreign government might be spying on the US. "A new low," she called it. It's only OK if we do it!

    Top REPUBLICAN Leaders Say Iraq War Was Really about Oil

    Posted on March 19, 2013 by WashingtonsBlog


    Forget What Liberals Say … Listen to What Republican Leaders Themselves Say

    Many rank and file Republicans assume that only liberals claim the Iraq war was for oil.

    In reality, the top Republican leaders say the same thing.

    For example, U.S. Secretary of Defense – and former 12-year Republican Senator – Chuck Hagel said of the Iraq war in 2007:

    People say we’re not fighting for oil. Of course we are. They talk about America’s national interest. What the hell do you think they’re talking about? We’re not there for figs.
    4 Star General John Abizaid – the former commander of CENTCOM with responsibility for Iraq – said:

    Of course it’s about oil, it’s very much about oil, and we can’t really deny that.

    Former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan – a long-time Republican – said in 2007:

    I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil
    President George W. Bush said in 2005 that keeping Iraqi oil away from the bad guys was a key motive for the Iraq war:

    ‘If Zarqawi and [Osama] bin Laden gain control of Iraq, they would create a new training ground for future terrorist attacks,” Bush said. ”They’d seize oil fields to fund their ambitions.”
    John McCain said in 2008:

    My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East that will — that will then prevent us — that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East.
    Sarah Palin said in 2008:

    Better to start that drilling [for oil within the U.S.] today than wait and continue relying on foreign sources of energy. We are a nation at war and in many [ways] the reasons for war are fights over energy sources, which is nonsensical when you consider that domestically we have the supplies ready to go.
    Former Bush speechwriter David Frum – author of the infamous “Axis of Evil” claim in Bush’s 2002 State of the Union address – writes in Newsweek this week:

    In 2002, Chalabi [the Iraqi politician and oil minister who the Bush Administration favored to lead Iraq after the war] joined the annual summer retreat of the American Enterprise Institute near Vail, Colorado. He and Cheney spent long hours together, contemplating the possibilities of a Western-oriented Iraq: an additional source of oil, an alternative to U.S. dependency on an unstable-looking Saudi Arabia.
    Key war architect – and Under Secretary of State – John Bolton said:

    The critical oil and natural gas producing region that we fought so many wars to try and protectour economy from the adverse impact of losing that supply or having it available only at very high prices.

    A high-level National Security Council officer strongly implied that Cheney and the U.S. oil chiefs planned the Iraq war before 9/11 in order to get control of its oil.
    The Sunday Herald reported:

    It is a document that fundamentally questions the motives behind the Bush administration’s desire to take out Saddam Hussein and go to war with Iraq.

    Strategic Energy Policy Challenges For The 21st Century describes how America is facing the biggest energy crisis in its history. It targets Saddam as a threat to American interests because of his control of Iraqi oilfields and recommends the use of ‘military intervention’ as a means to fix the US energy crisis.

    The report is linked to a veritable who’s who of US hawks, oilmen and corporate bigwigs. It was commissioned by James Baker, the former US Secretary of State under George Bush Snr, and submitted to Vice-President Dick Cheney in April 2001 — a full five months before September 11. Yet it advocates a policy of using military force against an enemy such as Iraq to secure US access to, and control of, Middle Eastern oil fields.

    One of the most telling passages in the document reads: ‘Iraq remains a destabilising influence to … the flow of oil to international markets from the Middle East. Saddam Hussein has also demonstrated a willingness to threaten to use the oil weapon and to use his own export programme to manipulate oil markets.

    ‘This would display his personal power, enhance his image as a pan-Arab leader … and pressure others for a lifting of economic sanctions against his regime. The United States should conduct an immediate policy review toward Iraq including military, energy, economic and political/diplomatic assessments.

    ***

    ‘Military intervention’ is supported …

    ***

    The document also points out that ‘the United States remains a prisoner of its energy dilemma’, and that one of the ‘consequences’ of this is a ‘need for military intervention’.

    At the heart of the decision to target Iraq over oil lies dire mismanagement of the US energy policy over decades by consecutive administrations. The report refers to the huge power cuts that have affected California in recent years and warns of ‘more Californias’ ahead.

    It says the ‘central dilemma’ for the US administration is that ‘the American people continue to demand plentiful and cheap energy without sacrifice or inconvenience’. With the ‘energy sector in critical condition, a crisis could erupt at any time [which] could have potentially enormous impact on the US … and would affect US national security and foreign policy in dramatic ways.”

    ***

    The response is to put oil at the heart of the administration — ‘a reassessment of the role of energy in American foreign policy’.

    ***

    Iraq is described as the world’s ‘key swing producer … turning its taps on and off when it has felt such action was in its strategic interest”. The report also says there is a ‘possibility that Saddam may remove Iraqi oil from the market for an extended period of time’, creating a volatile market.

    ***

    Halliburton is one of the firms thought by analysts to be in line to make a killing in any clean-up operation after another US-led war on Iraq.

    All five permanent members of the UN Security Council — the UK, France, China, Russia and the US — have international oil companies that would benefit from huge windfalls in the event of regime change in Baghdad. The best chance for US firms to make billions would come if Bush installed a pro-US Iraqi opposition member as the head of a new government.

    Representatives of foreign oil firms have already met with leaders of the Iraqi opposition. Ahmed Chalabi, the London-based leader of the Iraqi National Congress, said: ‘American companies will have a big shot at Iraqi oil.’
    Postscript 1: Again, it is not only American politicians and oil companies.  As the Independent reported in 2011:

    Plans to exploit Iraq’s oil reserves were discussed by government ministers and the world’s largest oil companies the year before Britain took a leading role in invading Iraq, government documents show.

    ***

    The minutes of a series of meetings between ministers and senior oil executives are at odds with the public denials of self-interest from oil companies and Western governments at the time.

    ***

    Minutes of a meeting with BP, Shell and BG (formerly British Gas) on 31 October 2002 read: “Baroness Symons agreed that it would be difficult to justify British companies losing out in Iraq in that way if the UK had itself been a conspicuous supporter of the US government throughout the crisis.”

    The minister then promised to “report back to the companies before Christmas” on her lobbying efforts.

    The Foreign Office invited BP in on 6 November 2002 to talk about opportunities in Iraq “post regime change”. Its minutes state: “Iraq is the big oil prospect. BP is desperate to get in there and anxious that political deals should not deny them the opportunity.”

    After another meeting, this one in October 2002, the Foreign Office’s Middle East director at the time, Edward Chaplin, noted: “Shell and BP could not afford not to have a stake in [Iraq] for the sake of their long-term future… We were determined to get a fair slice of the action for UK companies in a post-Saddam Iraq.”

    Whereas BP was insisting in public that it had “no strategic interest” in Iraq, in private it told the Foreign Office that Iraq was “more important than anything we’ve seen for a long time”.

    BP was concerned that if Washington allowed TotalFinaElf’s existing contact with Saddam Hussein to stand after the invasion it would make the French conglomerate the world’s leading oil company. BP told the Government it was willing to take “big risks” to get a share of the Iraqi reserves, the second largest in the world.

    Over 1,000 documents were obtained under Freedom of Information over five years by the oil campaigner Greg Muttitt. They reveal that at least five meetings were held between civil servants, ministers and BP and Shell in late 2002.

    The 20-year contracts signed in the wake of the invasion were the largest in the history of the oil industry. They covered half of Iraq’s reserves – 60 billion barrels of oil …
    Postscript 2: Oil was not the only reason for the war.
