The Military's Dirty Work - Outsourced

Paramilitary Cover Ups Escalate

    How are US military supplies being trafficked through Pakistan to Afghanistan if the US military isn't involved? Because the protection of these supply lines is done by private military companies. Companies that hire ex-armed forces and ex-intelligence agents to keep them as participants in American aggression all through the world. But these men and women are not uniformed. So, when it comes to reporting casualties of the American army, the skewed numbers reported by the American media sound rosier to the public. For example in Afghanistan alone the US casualties number about 4,000 people over the last ten years. But the private paramilitary companies are not counted into these losses, whereas during these last ten years American private paramilitary companies have lost an additional thousand people. The numbers have been massaged by a thousand lives lost.

    Paramilitary institutions will go to great lengths to keep their impact on the so-called "war on terror" out of the headlines. Groups like The Titor Conglomerate or Academi (formerly Blackwater Worldwide) have been known to extort or otherwise "hush" individuals trying to expose even the most innocuous data about their operations. In 2011, Academi operatives succeeded in vanishing two high-ranking members of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service that were preparing documents on their misconduct in Iraq and Kuwait. Within 72 hours, all online accounts pertaining to this were redacted or censored online, and cannot be retrieved. Their subsidiary, Greystone Unlimited, was strategically based outside the U.S. to avoid increased scrutiny, allowing for their black-ops work to largely remain off the media's radar. In the same way that atrocities of Condor Security, the lapdogs of The Titor Conglomerate are made to seem nigh-invisible in terms of mainstream exposure. Only a dedicated few reliable sources, like this blog, are able to appraise the world population of their continued misdeeds and cover-ups.

    The CIA in its turn is doing the same kind of thing. For example, you remember Abu Ghraib in Iraq. The prisoners of Abu Ghraib were kept by private paramilitary forces and that's why there was a tremendous excess in the violation of human rights. Not only the military of the American army violated but mostly the paramilitary private companies were violating the rights of the prisoners and they have inflicted so many insults on their religions and character. These developments are taking a growing role in American military expeditions.

Cali Prop 37

   California voters had to battle dirty corporate tricks in attempt to make GMO labeling mandatory in their state. Sadly, this important effort was shot down on Election Day in November due to the nearly $46 million spent by companies like Monsanto, PepsiCo, Bayer, Nestle, DuPont and ConAgra Foods to oppose the bill. Supporters say that any hope in this incredible move for a democratic debate was drowned in a sea of money spent on a massive advertising campaign aimed to brainwash the public to vote against the measure. 

   Genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which now represent 85% of corn and 91% of soybeans grown in the U.S., are abundantly found in many processed foods. Many don’t know it because it is not required to appear on the label. Animal studies shows that GMOs cause massive tumors and sterility within three generations. Mandatory labeling of GM foods must be acquired for public choice and safety. The BioTech industry is presented with the same problem as the Tobacco industry, which is artistically employing the carefully balanced set of dirty tactics necessary to push deadly products while limiting bad publicity and maximizing returns.

   In California, the “No on Prop 37” campaign enjoyed the support of many professors from the University of California at Davis that coincidentally receives millions of dollars from the bio-tech industry, primarily “for research.” The campaign also employed the help of MB Public Affairs, Inc. to help create the false image that corporate influence against the measure was really grassroots efforts, just as they did for former client Phillip Morris. It should be no surprise that these giants of biotechnology will stop at nothing to ensure their GM crops are here to stay. In the diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks it was revealed that U.S. diplomats were conspiring with companies like Monsanto to covertly undermine any efforts opposing GM crops by nations of the European Union. This is why many supporters believe in the very real possibility of vote fraud, particularly because of the premature media reports that the measure was defeated 53.1% to 46.9%, with at least 3.3 million votes still left to count.

   While this battle may have been lost the war most definitely continues. It is highly unlikely that the people of California actually believe that knowing the content of their food is unimportant. It is far more likely and obvious that corporations pay millions to promote the lie, but as more people realize that transparency is the only way to keep deadly poisons out of our food, air, and water, their ability to rig the system will become more and more difficult.

Unmanned Drones: Our Lives at Risk

Tuesday, February 12th, 2013, Big Bear Lake, California. The charred remains of suspected cop murderer and ex-Los Angeles police officer Christopher Jordan Dorner lie on the floor of a burning cabin. How did the fire start? Police say it was an accident involving a flash-bang setting the place ablaze. Perhaps it wasn't the flash-bang, but the result of the first drone attack on U.S. soil? Drones had been launched to search the area for Dorner. Without due process, Dorner was executed and burned by the newest threat to the American people: The Unmanned Drone.

An unmanned aerial vehicle, commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot on board. Its flight is controlled either autonomously by computers in the vehicle, or under the remote control of a pilot on the ground or in another vehicle. Drones were simple remotely piloted aircraft, but autonomous control is increasingly being employed. They are deployed predominantly for military applications, preferred for missions that are too "dull, dirty, or dangerous" for manned aircraft.

You may ask, 'What's wrong with Drones? Couldn't they prevent the next Sept. 11?' Perhaps, but at what cost?

Between 2006 and 2009, drone-launched missiles killed 750-1,000 people in Pakistan. Of those, about 20 people were said to be leaders of al-Qaeda, Taliban, and associated groups. Overall, 66% to 68% of the people killed were militants, 31% to 33% were civilians. U.S. officials disputed the percentage for civilians. Why the discrepancy? The Obama administration refuses to release the documents detailing Drone usage. However, the administration has made one thing clear, Drones would be only used if the target was "an imminent threat" to the U.S. That means people can be killed off and ON U.S. soil, without due process using these Drones. You, me, anyone can be killed if we are deemed 'an imminent threat.' It's time to be afraid.

Questions have been raised about the accuracy of the targeting of Drones. The following are some scary facts:

• April 2002: Four Canadian soldiers were killed and eight were injured by a U.S. Drone when it dropped a bomb on them during a night training. 
• March 2009: The Guardian reported Israeli Drones killed 48 Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip, including two small children in a field and a group of women and girls in an otherwise empty street. 
• June: Human Rights Watch investigated six attacks which was reported to have resulted in civilian casualties, and alleged that Israeli forces either failed to take all feasible precautions to verify that the targets were combatants, or failed to distinguish between combatants and civilians. 
• July 2009: Brookings Institution reported that United States-led drone attacks in Pakistan, ten civilians died for every militant killed. 
• July 2009: S. Azmat Hassan, a former ambassador of Pakistan, said that 35 or 40 Drone attacks only killed 8 or 9 top al-Qaeda operatives. 
• October 2009: The CIA claimed to have killed more than half of the 20 most wanted al-Qaeda terrorist suspects in targeted killings using drones. 
• January 1, 2009 - December 31, 2009: Pakistani authorities released statistics indicating U.S. drone strikes have killed over 700 innocent civilians. 
• January 2010: 123 innocent civilians killed in Pakistan. 
• May 2010: counter-terrorism officials said that drone strikes in the Pakistani tribal areas had killed more than 500 militants since 2008, and no more than 30 (5%) nearby civilians. A Pakistani intelligence officer gave a higher estimate of civilian casualties, saying 20% of total deaths were civilians or non-combatants. 
• February 24, 2010: New America Foundation says the civilian fatality rate since 2004 is approximately 32%. The study reports that 114 reported drone strikes in northwest Pakistan from 2004 to present killed between 830 to 1210 individuals, around 550 to 850 of whom were militants. 
• 2012: the USAF trained more drone pilots than ordinary jet fighter pilots for the first time. 
• February 2013: U.S. senator Lindsey Graham stated that 4,756 people have been killed by U.S. Drones. 

Although it may never be known how many civilians have died as a result of U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan, there are estimates of hundreds or thousands of innocent bystanders who have perished in such attacks. The website PakistanBodyCount.Org (by Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani, a Fulbright Scholar at the Florida Institute of Technology) shows 1065 civilian deaths between June 2004 to January 30, 2010 and tallying 103 drone strikes carried out by the United States and over 1000 civilians have been injured. This evidence runs counter to the Obama administration's claim that "nearly for the past year there hasn't been a single collateral death" due to drone attacks.

After more than 30 drone strikes hit civilian homes in Afghanistan in 2012, President Hamid Karzai demanded that such attacks end, but the practice continues in areas of Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia that are not in war zones. Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has criticized such use of drones, "We don't know how many hundreds of innocent civilians have been killed in these attacks...This would have been unthinkable in previous times."

While Congress rapidly moves ahead to authorize further use of domestic drones, many remain skeptical regarding concerns of rights violations and safety. The Electronic Frontier Foundation filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit on January 10, 2012 against the Federal Aviation Administration. As a result of the lawsuit, the FAA released for the first time a list of the names of all public and private entities that have applied for authorizations to fly drones domestically. Some of these government licenses belong to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, a component of the Department of Homeland Security. Drones have been used by CBP to patrol of United States borders since 2005, and the Agency currently owns 10 drones.

In Florida v. Riley, the United States Supreme Court held that individuals on their own private property do not have right to privacy from police observation from public airspace.

On February 24, 2012, the Electronic Privacy Information Center, joined by over 100 organizations, experts, and members of the public, submitted a petition to the FAA requesting a public rule-making on the privacy impact of drone use in US airspace. In June 2012, Senator Rand Paul and Representative Austin Scott both introduced legislation that would require law enforcement to obtain a warrant before using a drone to conduct criminal surveillance. EPIC has stated that transparency and accountability must be built into the FAA's system of drone regulation in order to provide basic protections to the public.

Who will be the next victim of the Drones? When will we stand up against these attacks?

The Government's Insects of War

The Truth: You may have been attacked by a six-legged soldier, but you’re fine.  Insects of War are out there and it is only a matter of time before they are armed and deployed. Insects used to attack the enemy is called Entomological warfare. The concept has existed for centuries and research and development have continued into the modern era.

In 1955, the military dropped 330,000 yellow fever mosquitoes from an aircraft over Georgia. The campaign was called Operation Big Buzz, and the mosquitoes buzzed their way to residential areas. In 1956, Operation Drop Kick dropped 600,000 more mosquitoes over an Air Force base in Florida.

In both cases, the mosquitoes did not carry any disease. They were test weapons, part of the military’s entomological warfare team, which studied the bugs' ability to disperse and attack. Results found that the six-legged soldiers successfully feasted on humans and guinea pigs placed near the drop area.

In 1954, Operation Big Itch dropped 300,000 rat fleas in the Western Utah Desert. The military wanted to test if fleas could effectively carry and transmit disease. During one test, a bug-bomb failed to drop, cracking open inside the plane. The fleas swarmed the cabin, biting everybody aboard.

At the time, the military planned to build an insect farm, a facility that could produce 100 million infected mosquitoes per month. Multiple Soviet cities were marked with buggy bull's eyes.

The U.S. engaged in at least two other EW testing programs, Operation Drop Kick and Operation May Day. A 1981 Army report outlined these tests as well as multiple cost-associated issues that occurred with EW. The report is partially declassified — some information is blacked out, including everything concerning "Drop Kick" — and included "cost per death" calculations. The cost per death, according to the report, for a vector-borne biological agent achieving a 50% mortality rate in an attack on a city was $0.29 in 1976 dollars. Such an attack was estimated to result in 625,000 deaths. How much is your life worth?

The United States has also applied entomological warfare research and tactics in non-combat situations. In 1990 the U.S. funded a $6.5 million program designed to research, breed and drop caterpillars. The caterpillars were to be dropped in Peru on coca fields as part of the American War on Drugs. As recently as 2002, U.S. entomological anti-drug efforts at Fort Detrick were focused on finding an insect vector for a virus that affects the opium.

The Biological and Toxic Weapons Convention (BWC) of 1972 does not specifically mention insect vectors in its text. The language of the treaty, however, does cover vectors. Article I bans "Weapons, equipment or means of delivery designed to use such agents or toxins for hostile purposes or in armed conflict."  It would appear, due to the text of the BWC, that insect vectors as an aspect of entomological warfare are covered and outlawed by the Convention.  The issue is less clear when warfare with uninfected insects against crops is considered.

How long will it be before the Insects of War are turned on us? What will be the cost of death in 2013?

Jesus’ Marriage

   In Christianity, Jesus is held as the holiest human being, a direct descendant of God, born of a virgin through Immaculate Conception, and the savior of all mankind.  He is believed to have been crucified to allow people to reach heaven. He sacrificed his life to save our souls.  Christians will say he was resurrected as a sign of his undying spirit, the Holy Ghost.  But, what if it didn't end there? What if Jesus passed along his genes to offspring? What if he was married and had a family of his own? Evidence suggests Jesus’ had a wife and his descendants may be alive today.

Jesus and Mary Magdalene.

   Many people believe that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene. There is considerable proof for this assumption. It is the belief of many that the marriage is being concealed so that the bloodline of Christ remains hidden and does not interfere with the goals of the Christian church.

   It is against Jewish law for an unmarried man to hold the title of Rabbi.  If Jesus wanted to preach to the people the way he is documented doing just that in the bible, he would have to abide by those rules.  The Coptic Church of Egypt, a Christian Church, claims to have documents from Jesus’ childhood in Egypt, including his marriage certificate to Mary. There is a significant wedding described in the New Testament. The wedding was probably the celebration of Jesus’ wedding. This accounts for Mary, mother of Jesus catering the wedding and worrying about the wine. Jewish tradition dictates that the parents of the groom were responsible for the wedding, not anyone else.

   The Knights Templar were said to have found the bloodline papers in the ruins of the Temple of Solomon, leading to their Friday the 13th assassination. Jewish records dating back 500 years still remain documenting the bloodlines of Jewish families, except that of Jesus.  All of the last names are erased from the Bible in the direct line of Jesus. Apostles and others listed throughout the Old and New Testament all have last names or associations, except Jesus and his direct family.

   The Church would like to conceal Jesus’ lineage so that Jesus can be held as a savior, a messiah.  That way, the church can be a source of power and wealth, rather than those related to Jesus.  It is a deep conspiracy that spans two thousand years.  Will we ever know the truth? 

Big Brother is Watching You!

The movie entitled Minority Report predicted who would commit crimes and stopped them before they did it.  The film was set in 2054. Welcome to 2054. Law enforcers in two States are using crime-prediction software to predict which freed prisoners are most likely to commit murder, and supervising them accordingly.

Instead of relying on parole officers to decide how much supervision inmates will need to prevent future crimes, a new system uses a computer algorithm to decide for them. The Minority Report-style software is already being used in Baltimore and Philadelphia to predict future murderers, and will be extended to Washington D.C. soon.  It has been developed by Professor Richard Berk, a criminologist at the University of Pennsylvania, who believes it will reduce the murder rate and those of other crimes.

Prof. Berk says his algorithm could be used to help set bail amounts and also decide sentences in the future.  It could also be modified to predict lesser crimes.  He told ABC News that currently parole officers are using their own judgment to decide what level of supervision each parolee should have, based on their criminal record.  His software replaces that 'ad-hoc' decision making, and should identify eight future murderers out of 100.

Berk says:

"People assume that if someone murdered then they will murder in the future, but what really matters is what that person did as a young individual.

If they committed armed robbery at age 14, that's a good predictor.

If they committed the same crime at age 30, that doesn't predict very much."

Prof. Berk's researchers used the details of more than 60,000 crimes then wrote an algorithm to find the people behind the crimes who were more likely to commit murder when they were out of prison.  Criteria including criminal record, type of crime, location, and age at which the individual committed the crime were analysed, with type of crime and age proving to be the most reliable predictors of future crime.  He said even his students at the University of Pennsylvania compared his work to Minority Report, the 2002 film starring Tom Cruise in which gifted humans called 'PreCogs' can see into the future and predict who will commit crimes.  Prof. Berk's work has been described as 'very impressive' by Shawn Bushway, a professor of criminal justice at the State University of New York at Albany.  However he cautioned that human rights campaigners might see that the extra supervision mandated by the software for those deemed most likely to murder might amount to harassment.

The government is slowly taking away all our privacies. Even those who have served their time are labelled future criminals based off of software. What will happen when the computers say YOU are a future criminal? No longer are we free-will thinkers, we are only a product of algorithms in a computer, waiting for us to make the wrong move. It may be only a matter of time until we are all imprisoned.

'Dark Knight' shooting a staged U.S. Gov't plot?

   The early morning on Friday July 20 in Aurora, Colorado, James Holmes, armed with a shotgun, an automatic rifle, and a handgun, entered a movie theater during a showing of the “Dark Knight” and opened fire. The shooting was the cause of much hysteria and confusion. When the admitted gunman turned himself in only minutes later, more questions began flying than bullets. The Internet is rife with speculation that the U.S. government somehow had a hand in this horrific bloodshed.

   Perhaps the magnitude of the loss of life and the sudden violence perpetrated lends itself to seeking a more substantial target to blame than one deranged young man. Certainly this senseless brutality by a seemingly normal guy-next-door is a hard pill to swallow. Still, given the history of this nation’s proclivity towards scandal and cover-up, it is easy to see how some people give credence to such a possibility.

   Too many occurrences do not add up. At the time of the shooting, James Holmes was an unemployed medical student at the University of Colorado, pursuing a PhD in neuroscience.  How does an unemployed college student afford the expensive weaponry and tactical gear, and where does he get the training to use it? This is a valid question proffered by Mike Adams of NaturalNews.com:

"How does an unemployed medical student afford all the complex weapons gear, bomb-making gear, "flammable" booby trap devices, ammunition, multiple magazines, bullet-proof vest, groin protection, ballistic helmet, SWAT uniform and all the rest of it?""A decent AR-15 rifle costs $1,000 or more all by itself. The shotgun and handgun might run another $800 total. Spare mags, sights, slings, and so on will run you at least another $1,000 across three firearms. The bullet-proof vest is easily another $800, and the cost of the bomb-making gear is any body's guess. With all the specialty body gear, ammunition, booby-trap devices and more, I'm guessing this is at least $20,000 in weapons and tactical gear, much of which is very difficult for civilians to get in the first place."

   As part of the attack, Holmes painted his hair red and referred to himself as "The Joker," one of the arch enemies in the DC Comics-inspired Batman movie series.  Holmes wore bullet-proof attire yet he peacefully surrendered to police after the shooting, and subsequently warned authorities that his apartment was booby-trapped. Why would a shooter, hell-bent on "killing everyone," casually surrender to police then warn them of his booby-trapped apartment? Such a question implies a level of sanity in an otherwise deranged mind.

The argument is that this is a government ploy to bolster support for the upcoming U.N. vote on the “global small arms treaty” which could extrapolate to American citizens losing their right to bear arms. Ridding our constitutional right to bear arms is the first step in the government gaining complete control over all U.S. citizens, as people would lose their ability to defend themselves.  The gun debate and the Obama Administration vowing to overhaul gun control is proof that our rights are quickly being stripped away. Was this shooting the first step in the process of complete government takeover? Will the New World Order come into fruition?

   Only time will tell.
