Hello Again!

I couldn't resist.  I know I said I wouldn't be writing anymore political blogs, and though I said that half in jest - I watched Obama's press conference tonight and had to write about it...  So here goes.  Enjoy.

Having just watched Obama's rather dull and uninspiring press conference, I have to say I really missed the singing on American Idol... but I certainly got an eye load of political dancing. 

My thoughts?

Obama is extremely arrogant. Here is a man that danced around questions, sometimes avoiding the answer all together and instead would repeat his stock answers over and over to drive home his points.  NONE of the questions were pointed, hard or challenging and at times, I thought even Obama was going to fall asleep as he droned on his
rhetorical answers.  Where were the follow up questions? Why did the reporters let him off the hook?  Why did they let him sidetrack the answers?   Perhaps because they fell asleep, as well.  Note:  He didn't take questions from the NY Times, Time, The Washington Post as well as others... As a friend of mine observed; "At no time did he answer a question directly or indirectly.  His tactics are very evasive to me, why did he chose the ABC correspondent--whom was so utterly  surprised to be called upon  for a question that her composure changed, he stumbled over the fact that race has not come into play at this moment. It's stuck on stupidity."

He took 13 questions!  In a little over 57 minutes he took 13 questions.  He could have taken 25 but instead he decided to boringly drone his repetitive agenda.  Could you take 57 minutes to answer 13 questions?  I don't know if I could do that even if I tried.  I doubt that even if I had a Political Science degree from Columbia University and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law School, I could have done this as well as Obama.  So the question comes to my mind...  Why?  Why did he have this press conference?  This uninspiring, boring press conference?

HERE IS WHY:

In the past 64 days;

1. Obama has tripled our deficit, (see below).

2. Obama had HUGE bad week with the AIG bailout (AIG insurance Company sold thousands of policies to bad lenders, and when the junk mortgage fraud industry crashed, AIG had to pay some of the losses. The Feds
(Obama) throws $173 BILLION at these A**Holes because the company also insures millions of Americans - THEN CEO Edward Liddy says they are going to pay 1.2 Billion of the bailout money to their own Executives for bonuses because they are 'contractually obligated' to do so).)

3.  More on the bailout! - On March 24, 2009 it has been reported "US Bailout Money Landed in India" WHAT!?!?!   What does this mean?  Well, the bailout given to American banks have landed in countries like China, UAE (United Arabs Emirates 7 states in the SE of the Arabian Penninsula- rich in Oil and Natural Gas) and India as the Treasury Department failed to keep track on
the granted funds.  The story goes on to inform us that "these funds that were supposed to go to help the US economy, $8
billion has gone through Citigroup to Dubai; $7 billion through Bank of
America to China; $1 billion through JPMorgan Chase to India,”  That's 16 BILLION of our tax dollars people!

4. Obama decided to give the
Detroit public school system $530 Million of tax payer money (Another 'spend our way out of a problem scenario), Why does he do this? Because only 35% of the students graduate high school and of those, only 5% are ready (read prepared) to do college academic work.  BUT WAIT!  Audits have shown that $54 MILLION tax dollars are missing or been misspent by the Detriot public school officials.  There is no school tax base in Detroit.  which means that almost everyone who has money has moved out. but Obama wants to move $530 Million of tax payers money in...  Hmmm.   People were not happy to hear about this.  (The Detroit schools are violent, in shambles, chaotic.  That is a fact.  BUT Money will not solve the problem.  It is impossible to impose academic skills
especially when there are derelict parents and there is no discipline.  IF Obama keeps throwing money at all the problems that surface, he will
bankrupt the country).

5. Obama started with a 69% Approval rating.  Within the first week of his presidency it dropped to a 68%.  Today it is 61%.  His approval rating is falling fast.  In Obama's first 64 days his rating has gone from 69% to 61%.  (During February 21-23 it was at 59%).

SO, The first thing to do is to buy Obama time.  Get people to believe in him again.  How do we do this?  Get him on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno!  So on March 19, 2009 Obama went on Leno.  How did he do?  Here is an excerpt from a review on EW.com:

"The President's Tonight Show segments featured lots of long,  serious answers to softball questions -- or even non-questions..."

"It's not Leno's job to question the President more closely, you say? Well, then The Tonight Show should have kept the subject matter limited to the choice of
Presidential dog, basketball, and ultra-Leno questions like, "How cool is it to fly in Air Force One?"

"...this was the kind of Presidential appearance that did what it was intended to do, on the President's end, anyway: it aimed to reassure Leno's vast audience, to give comfort, to enable viewers to believe we can come through the present hard times with a leader who seems confident."

That went GREAT!  Lets get Obama laughing on 60 minutes!  Sunday, March 22, 2009 Obama went on 60 minutes and gave the show a ratings jump to 16.2 million viewers.  How'd he do?  Here is the review from EW.Com:

"President Obama was on 60 Minutes last night, in a 20-minute segment mostly about the financial crisis and the Obama administration's plans for economic recovery. The interview was pretty serious and somber, until Obama tried to lighten things up. "The only thing less popular than putting money into banks is putting money into the auto industry," he joked (you can see it at 13:25 in the clip
below).

And then Steve Kroft got angry.  "You're sitting here and you are laughing about some of these problems....Are people going to say, He's sitting there making jokes. ... Explain your mood and laughter. Are you punch drunk?"
-http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/03/obamas-gallows.html

Oh, no!  The ratings are still slipping?  People are still pissed about the government overspending?  Bailouts? Wasted Tax dollars?  We better have a press conference.  This will buy time and at the same time we can SELL A HUGE BUDGET PLAN!!!!

Obama's plan? - Obama wants to deliberately triple the national debt 9.3 trillion to help the economy by "investing in the future". Question.  If we are helping our economy,
wouldn't the deficit get lower?

His "plan" is not based in knowing what will happen.  It is
conjecture.   He believes if he just continues to repeat his
"Economic/Budget plan" that it makes it true.  In truth, it is not based on anything factual other than the fact that it will triple the national debt.

A thought just came to me....  Did Obama bother checking out the rest of California while he was out there sitting on Jay Leno's couch?  ITS BANKRUPT!

Here is that National Debt information I promised you above in point #1.

The National Debt has continued to increase an average of

$3.75 billion per day

U.S. NATIONAL DEBT CLOCK
The Outstanding Public Debt as
of 25 Mar 2009 at 01:00:18 AM GMT is:

$11,045,934,310,367.46 - That's
11.5 trillion!

When Bush left office it was
$482 Billion ( Keep in mind Bush had to spend money to deal with the September 11, 2001 attacks, the resulting war in Afghanistan, the disaster of 2005's Hurricane Katrina, and the costly and unpopular war in Iraq, now nearly
six years old).

In just 64 days Obama has
increased the Public debt $10,563,934,310,367.46

The estimated population of the
United States is 305,876,374

so each citizen's share of this debt is $36,112.41.

A few last points on Obama's calculated public appearances and press conference...

Obama states - Our Government needs help from wall street to help bail out the 400+ financial institutes.  "We're in this together".

then, at the same time he turns around and says;

If you make money or especially if you are with one of the financial institutes and make money - Obama will come after you.  You will be taxed etc...  This takes all incentive away to make money and/or help.

WHY?  Why would he put this
mixed message out?

Obama is smart.  He wants this to fail so he can Nationalize Banks (Along with his plan to Nationalize health care)  Obama is a socialist... and on this line of thinking...

US Safety and Terrorists:

Now that we have a Muslim as a president, lets take a look at the safety nets that have been removed by Obama to put America at risk of another terrorist attack.

"President Obama campaigned against it all across the country, and now he is making some choices that, in my mind, will, in fact, raise the
risk to the American people of another attack"  - Dick Cheney last week.

Since taking office in January, Obama has announced plans to close the U.S. prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to halt the military trials of suspected terrorists there, and to make CIA officers follow the Army field manual's rules on interrogations. Cheney said the administration appears to be returning to the pre-2001 model of treating terrorism as a law enforcement issue, rather than a military problem.

I feel this must be a serious issue when you consider there is an
unspoken rule that past Presidents and vice-Presidents do not bad mouth or criticize sitting Presidents and Vice presidents.  Cheney feels so strongly that he broke the unspoken rule.  American is in possible
danger again thanks to Obama.

Take Care,

I'm thinking Democrats believe every day is April 15...

Hello All!

2008 was a difficult year in many ways for me, and I assume for many of you as well.    Over the past couple of years I have been posting blogs on this site, blogs that I am sure were controversial or even "flagged" by those in certain areas of power.  I wrote these blogs in hopes to enlighten and educate those who were not too lazy to read in this day of visual over stimulation and soundbites.  THINGS HAVE CHANGED! I have decided I do not want to have yet ANOTHER year like the past few have been, so I thought of a possible solution.  Here is my new blog about my new outlook toward life, our Government and any others I may have offended in the past:

Let's start off on what most people believe to be the primary contrast between the Democrats and the Republicans: their attitude towards war.  Reps wanna blow everything and everyone up who speaks with guttural sounds to smithereens while Dems are all about the olive branches, right?  Hence, Obama must be an Anti-War candidate, right?  Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Yes, Obama is against war.  Specifically he's opposed to the war in Iraq but he's categorically for war in other parts of the world.  As you will find with most of Bama's rhetoric it sounds like one thing but really is the other. 

All you have to do is read his proposed plan on his site about War and it's stated plainly in mulatto and white. 
It's his " Iraq War De-escalation Act of 2007".  In Section 3 of this bogus act he states that he will not have forces exceed the amount of soldiers that were present in Iraq as of January 2007 which were around 130,000.  Okay, so what is it now?  Around 154,000, so there's a 20% reduction with a provision to escalate if it's determined that there's a need.  That's not a proposal from a candidate who's against the war, he's just kinda against it; a teaspoon less here a dash of infantry there.

Now here's where he takes his cue from Bill Clinton and gets all slick on us.  Section 4 of this act is all about Redeployment.  Yippee!  Obama has them redeployed to The US, well, that's awesome, but then he has them going to 'Afghanistan, to enhance US military operations in that country' and also 'elsewhere in the region… to remain engaged in the region and to position troops to strike directly at Al-Qaeda'.  Well, that doesn't sound like someone who's bringing the troops home does it?  Quick quiz.  Name the person behind this quote:

"The danger from Iran is grave, it is real, and my goal will be to eliminate this threat."

Nope that's not McCain, that's Obama speaking to an AIPAC audience recently as he also stated that he will always have the option to attack Iran on the table.  See Obama's not against war at all, he's just sorta against this war but he's all for Iran, Afghanistan and anybody else.  Time to realize these two are cut from the same cloth, they're just dyed differently.  They're both members of the Council on Foreign Relations a terrorist group of Globalists whose sole purpose is a One World Government.  It is this group along with others like it that are the true dictators of policy for this country.  Let's hear it from actual members of the CFR.  Mr. Carroll Quigley, what's the CFR?

"The Council on Foreign Relations is the American branch of a society which originated in England... (and) ...believes national boundaries should be obliterated and one world rule established."

Thanks Carroll.  Hmm, uh, yo Admiral Ward, what's the CFR?

"The main purpose of the (CFR) is promoting the disarmament of US sovereignty and national dependence and submergence into an all powerful, one world government."

Yup, that's Judge Advocate General of the US Navy Admiral Ward to you.  These people act as the bridges between the corporate taskmasters they empower to the marionettes of government whose strings they pull and your denial of their existence does not make it any less so.  These people just sing the same tune but with a different beat behind it, just like every song you might hear in a hip-hop club.

In fact, in researching Obama and his attitude towards the Military it is as every bit as aggressive and expansive as his Neocon counterparts.  If you had a blind taste test on policy you seriously would not be able to tell the difference. 

On his website's page for Foreign Policy his statements for 'Building a 21st century military' shows his desire for more troops as it is stated that "Obama will increase the size of ground forces, adding 65,000 soldiers to the Army and 27,000 Marines".  Then he gets all Newspeak on us in perfect Orwellian fashion.  He pledges that he will "not build any permanent bases in Iraq"; awww, how sweet of him.  Well, see, the Pentagon doesn't call these bases that they're building in Iraq 'Permanent Bases', they call them 'Enduring Bases'.

Please remove the idea from your mind that we have a two party system in this country.  Have we forgotten how pathetic the Democrats have been in stopping this war?  Wasn't there a supposed mandate from the Citizenry back in 2006?  Wasn't there to be immediate change in our handling of this war when Dems were granted power over the House and Senate?  They have been nothing but a bunch of spineless prostrated jellyfish that have fallen right in line with the parade celebrating the deaths of more Americans and Iraqis.  Do you know that when Bush Jr. asked for 107 Billion to further escalate the War in Iraq the Dems said 'No absolutely not, that's too little, take 162 Billion instead'.

"This is unbelievable! This is closing down Iran. Where do we have this authority? Where do we get the moral authority? Where do we get the international legality for this? Where do we get the Constitutional authority for this?" – Ron Paul

"As in the case of Saddam Hussein's "weapons of mass destruction," the conclusion whether or not Iran is making a nuclear weapon will be determined by propaganda and not by fact. Therefore, there is no difference between Bush, McCain, Obama, and the Lobby with regard to the Middle East.  As Israel has several hundred nuclear weapons, and a modern air force and missiles supplied by the US, the idea that Israel needs American protection from Iran is a fantasy."  - Paul Craig Roberts

It would take pages on end to detail how the state of Israel since it's conception has been nothing but a tool for those who wish to manipulate the region to their designs and it pains me to no end.

Suffice it to say, if you have plans on the Presidency then you better be prepared to go to bed with Israel and Obama has been eagerly showing up with packs of condoms, bottles of Manischewitz and pictures of Sammy Davis Jr. to as many Jew events that he can.

What's troubling about this is not his avid excitement to appease the Goldstein's of the world as it is that he used to be a staunch supporter of Arabic rights and the cause of the Palestinians:

Back in the day when he was a state senator, before he had status, before he was a predator, you could see the Bam Bam listenin' to Muslims, now he's trashing 'em which the Verbal finds puzzlin'

(a lil' homage to Low End Theory by 'Tribe Called Quest' for those Old School Hip Hop heads out there)

See, when Barack was just an inconspicuous Illinois Senator his views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict were much different than they are today.  He was critical of the US and their support of Israel and attended many Palestinian and Arab-American events in and around Chicago.  The picture to the right is of him and his wife at a community fundraiser speaking with Edward Said, a pro-Palestinian activist and the keynote speaker of the event.  A witness to Obama's involvement and support of the Palestinian cause, Ali Abunimah of 'The Electronic Intifada' writes of one his encounters with Obama in the winter of 2004:

"Hey, I'm sorry I haven't said more about Palestine right now, but we are in a tough primary race. I'm hoping when things calm down I can be more up front." He referred to my activism, including columns I was contributing to the The Chicago Tribune critical of Israeli and US policy, "Keep up the good work!"

Now Obama's all up in the Bagel & Lox crowd and stroking their egos every chance he gets.  He's already co-sponsored an amendment to the Illinois Pension Code allowing the state of Illinois to lend money to the Israeli government.  For him, it's about power and doing whatever it takes to get himself the title of Corporate Spokesmen for the Elite.  Look, I could give a rats ass what Obama's position is on the conflict with Israel, I look at the bigger picture when it comes to Israel so taking sides is irrelevant to me.  The bottom line is that this guy willfully switched his ideals and values for political gain; all this yakity yak about change, now I know what he means.

Speaking to AIPAC recently (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) Obama made no bones about his vision for the Star-Tetrahedron State:

"We must preserve our total commitment to our unique defense relationship with Israel by fully funding military assistance and continuing work on the Arrow and related missile defense program"

Again, are these words from someone you consider an anti-war candidate?  This could easily have come from McCain or Bush's mouth and it will always be the case with people like this, the sound is coming from the owner of the man whose hand is rammed up their acquiescent slavish anuses.

Actually, Obama's policies on the Middle East and Foreign Affairs have nothing to do with his personal beliefs, it's what he's being fed from his appointed advisors and I nearly fell over when I found who his foreign policy advisor was…good ol' Zbigniew Brzezinski.  That's when I knew Obama had sold himself.  This is the same Zbig who was Jimmy Carter's National Security Advisor, um, doesn't change mean new and not recycled?

The Big Z has had his grubby paws in many a power figure through the decades and it is no surprise that Obama, a member of the Globalist mob the CFR would love having a fellow CFR brother whispering their agenda in his ebon ear, take it away Ziggy:

"National sovereignty is no longer a viable concept" - Zbigawig

In other words, time to get rid of the nation states and say hello to the North American Union and the Amero, which I've been yapping about for sometime in my blogs.  They say it isn't so but they're building the Trans-Texas Corridor right now as I pitter patter on this keyboard of mine.  This is not something that's coming down the pike, it's in the pike, out the pike, over the pike you name it.  The signs are all over Texas that it's coming so don't tell me I'm blowing smoke up your ass.  

Our good buddy Ziggy also helped to create the Trilateral Commission with David Rockefeller in 1973. The Trilateral Commission is also dedicated to a World Government dictatorship and is interconnected with the CFR and the Bilderberg Group another Globalist faction.  This guy is no bueno and he's all up in the Obama barrage.  Of course, you won't hear about these names when they speak about the Obama campaign trail and those that travel with him involved in the daily toil of his candidacy.  They don't need to be there, they give him his marching orders and his sides and he follows the script to a tee, there's no Robin Williams extemporaneous banter on this stage.

This jibes with how Obama, a perceived anti-war candidate is all about war, cuz the mosquito in his ear is a frothing at the mouth War-nympho.  Brzezinski's foreign 'policy' during the Carter administration, as he has since admitted without regret, was to entice the Soviet Union to invade Afghanistan in December of 1979. The idea, he said, was to weaken their rival superpower the USSR and that "I wanted to create for them their Vietnam".  The result was a ten-year occupation that cost the lives of an estimated 1.3 million Afghans.  Administrations that followed Carter coordinated with the ISI to train tens of thousands in Pakistan to fight the invasion and to resist it.  This invasion also spawned the Mujahedin, Taliban as well as Osama bin Laden who was hired by us to fight the Ruskies in Afghanistan back in the day.  SOP here, get a stooge to work for you then turn on him when you need him for something else; see: Saddam.

Ziggy views war and the deaths of innocents as a means for global expansion, control and colonization and Obama is chirping his song note for note.  Here's another gem from your savior on the possibility of bombing Pakistan:

"'If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will" – Barack Obama

As for some of Obama's other advisors behind the scenes, well, you don't just have to have Madonna to swing you over to the Jew side, Obama has his personal moyl for that thank you very much.  Another one of his ear chirpers for Middle Eastern policy is Dennis B. Ross, The same Denny who was director for policy planning in the State Department under President Poppa Bush as well as Special Middle East coordinator to President Bill Clinton.  Change?  Ross is also the first chairman of the Jerusalem-based 'think tank', the Jewish People Policy Planning Institute.  The guy bleeds hummus.  Any thought as to how Obama will be dealing with 'Rogue' nations once he gets into office?

There's so much caca being spewed out on this issue and all of it is way off base.  You will not find this info spilling out of any of the neatly buffed talking heads on your hypno-tubes.

In order to understand what's going on now with oil you have to understand what went on in the seventies when there first was a bogus manufactured oil crisis.  It was a calculated result intended to manipulate and consolidate global economies while at the same time controlling people by forcing them into a life of dependency.  Basically the same drama is happening now but with different players and circumstances and with a far more sinister curtain call.

In order to begin turning out the people of the world into raving oil sluts you have to create Artificial Scarcity first, get them thinking that there's not much of it and it's running out; the energy landscape turns into one big sausage party with the only hot chick owned by Big Oil.  Artificial Scarcity is a hoax of lack of resources or abundance.  The truth is that just like in the 70s we're overflowing with oil.  Back in 1995 as reported in the AP the Big 10 oil companies bought up all of the 214 oil refineries in this country and would shut them down at will to create this artificial scarcity and inflate the prices in coordination with market speculation. 

As insane as this may sound Big Oil also conspires with environmental groups to protect lands that are rich in oil.  The game is to hold all of the cards and be the dealer as well, you only get a card when we say so.  It's exactly how the Diamond Industry acts, diamonds are low grade semi-precious stones but after a cute ditty and the manipulation of the market to create the illusion that they are scarce or rare, whammo, you have yourself a profitable lie.  All that's left is to murder or suppress countries or companies that find your cheap glass by the bushel so that you can stay in control of the market.

There was also no lack of oil in the 70s, the US was overflowing with the stuff, it just wasn't being sent to the refineries so that the price could be driven up.

So step one is complete, everyone thinks the world is running out of oil, now it's time to devalue the dollar.  Back in the 70s the value of the dollar also dipped to nasty lows and this was intentional as is the devaluing of the dollar today.  See, oil is traded in dollars since dollars are the reserve currency of the world so the lower the value of the dollar goes the higher the price of oil goes since it becomes vastly cheaper to other countries whose currencies are strong, get it?  Conversely if you look at the price of Gold throughout this mess it has matched the value of oil step for step, just another reason to get rid of this paper monopoly money we use as currency and get back to real money.

At any rate, so you have the dollar valued at poop in the 70s, Step 2 is complete.  Next you have Walter Levy, the US Official Oil Economist at the time proposing a rate hike of 400% for the price of oil at the secret annual Bilderberg meeting in Sweden in May of 1973.  At that meeting were 84 Bigwigs, Royals, Politicos, Oilmen and String Pullers including our good ol' buddy Zbigniew Brzezinski who we have established as one of the main guys behind Obama.  So everyone's on board for more money and more control. 

Now, people aren't that stupid, can't just bend them over and get Medieval on their ass, you need a lil' lube.  Hmmm…Jews!  Get the Jews!   Five months later that year you have Syria and Egypt invading Israel for the Yom Kippur War.  The US then backs Israel and the Arabs get 'outraged' and they inflate the price of oil to astronomical prices never seen before, they cut production and create an embargo with the States.  Here's the thing, the Israelis, my people, handled it, took care of business as it were, fought back the Arabs like they were a JV Squad, there was no need for the States to come out and pick a side.  Technically speaking, if the US said 'Jews Shmews, I'm taking the Arabs in this fight' then they would have been the benefactors of a huge economic boon due to the excess of fuel they would have received from the Middle East.  Instead they pick the Yids and the world consequently goes into chaos.  I'm not saying they should have picked the Arabs, what they should have done is stayed the f*ck out of that whole mess.  Israel was fine, there was no need to pick a side but then oil doesn't go up 400% without the meddling. 

Now you might say coincidence, there are no coincidences whatsoever when it comes to wars and conflicts, they are always manipulated from on high.

You can see the seeds of this price hike taking root in 1972 when the transnational oil companies such as Exxon were drastically cutting back on the supply of domestic crude which was given the OK by Nixon who was simply listening to his aides which included good ol' Henry Kissinger also a member of the CFR which now includes Obama.  Kissinger is then named by Nixon as part of an Energy Triumvirate in February of 1973 thus giving him power to control US energy policy.  Kissinger then gets his buddies in the Middle East all fired up, orchestrates the Yom Kippur War by going back and forth with his Arab friends and his Israeli political lapdog Simcha Dinitz who just happened to be in Washington a few days before the war broke out, everything goes hooey kablooey, finally Kissinger tells his boy the Shah to demand more money and higher prices from OPEC in 1974 and boom!  The landscape of the planet has just been changed and this slimy bastard Kissinger gets a Nobel Peace Prize for his role in changing the landscape of the planet for the worse.

The landscape of the planet you say?  Yup.  See, the Arab countries took all the money they made from the embargoes and invested it right back into Western Banks, that was part of the deal, 'We'll hook you up with large sums of cash but you gotta reinvest with us, cool?'  The Western Banks then go ahead and take that dirty nasty oil money and 'lend' it to the Third World countries who have been making futile desperate attempts trying to pay it back to this day.

This time around it's the same script except China and India are the supposed culprits now since their oil is subsidized by their governments which keeps the price of oil for them ridiculously low as compared to the rest of the world.  As those economies are artificially inflated and said to be 'emerging markets' the rest of the world gets screwed out of jobs.  The jobs in China and India are still crap along with the working and living conditions so everybody suffers.  I'd also like to point out how China is being groomed to eliminate the US as the Super Power of the world which would pave the way for a One World Government but that's for a whole other diatribe .

So the US gets smacked around economically in the 70s and the images of those infamous car lines are burned into our retinas while in the UK they reduce the work week to three days to preserve fuel thereby throwing millions of citizens out of work.  Everyone is living in fear and meagerly scraping by looking for solutions in all the wrong places.  Congratulations, your Earth Yahtzee Game is complete for Round 1 in the 70s, now they're playing out the sequel.

Yet this time around it isn't just going to be about oil, water is next.  Did you know that water supplies, along with local municipalities, are being bought up by foreign interests at this moment?  Get ready for the price of water to soar soon and for that to become a precious resource as well. Just last year the UN had an international water conference.  Not only that, I constantly read articles of food prices and food supplies being major issues in other countries where food riots are happening at this moment. 

This is where all this nonsense is heading, and it's all a big scam people!!!  It's not real!  It's a lie!

Yes food, I know this is a nasty long tangent but it underscores how everything is interconnected in a way to relieve you of your power and security so that you can look to those entities outside of yourself for answers, hence the Obama phenomenon since so many are just starving for something positive.  Anyway, did you also know that about a handful of corporations control all of the grains and all the seeds in the world and that in the process of getting to this control they have eliminated millions of food strains?  Why?  Well…

What they want is to create a dependency on Genetically Modified crops that they will say is the answer to the food crisis.  Why?  Because companies like the purely evil Monsanto basically own all the seed patents in the world, that's right, we've come to the point where a corporate body can own a seed.   Did you know that 97% of the vegetables that were grown at the beginning of the 20th century are now extinct?  Did you know that there used to be 5,000 types of potatoes and now there's only four varieties grown on a major scale? 

Anyway, thanks to the funding given to these companies by the Reagan/Bush administration in the early eighties these biotech/seed companies have created seeds that are called 'terminator' seeds or 'suicide' seeds.  These seeds die after one harvest so they cannot be used again thus causing farmers or nations to have to get seeds or food from a corporation or starve in the process.  Here's what Willard Phelps, spokesman of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, says of why the suicide seed research was created ''to increase the value of proprietary seed owned by U.S. seed companies and to open up new markets in Second and Third World countries'.

Simply put, they want to own your right to eat.

The seed companies were actually bought up in the mid nineties by pesticide and chemical producers Dow and Monsanto so that they could not only control the seeds but to control the dependency on the crap you'll need to get the seeds to grow and survive.  Brilliant strategy if it weren't so downright diabolical.

The ultimate monstrosity of this whole scheme are the Genetically Modified crops which, unless you're subsisting on purely organic foods, you're eating them right now.  Approximately 80% of all prepared and processed foods in this country contain GM foods.  See, the FDA made it so that they don't have to tell you that you're eating it because the people don't want them but that's never stopped them before.  Last month in Calgary at The Codex Alimentarius people were fighting for the mandatory labeling of GM foods whereas the US was contending that it doesn't have to and that these foods are safe as provided under a 1992 George H. W. Bush Executive Order. 

Did you also know that 20% of the genes in your cells right now are owned by corporations? No joke. The U.S. Patent Office has granted patents on your genes, which means technically if you have a child and reproduce those genes you are in violation of U.S. Patent Law and some day they could potentially start charging you for having children; that's how sick it's getting. 

Control, fear and dependency, it's what it's all about, just like the global warming hoax.  That's all about control of third world nations and taxation and fines for industrialized ones.  Look, since we're talking oil, the haughty green prophet of poop Al Gore is an oil man.  His father was an oil man and he's the majority stock holder in Occidental Petroleum and that's the incontinent truth people.

I know I said I'd stop bashing Global Warming fanatics but three top scientists have just released a paper showing how Co2 emissions actually cool the atmosphere rather than heat it up.  Read their informative intelligent study here:

http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~content=a788582859~db=all

Also, the Physics and Society Journal has just published new evidence as to how the IPCC 2007 paper which Gore based his entire deception on "overstated CO2's impact on temperature by 500-2000%", and that the reason they got the numbers that they did was because "Computer models used by the UN's climate panel (IPCC) were pre-programmed with overstated values for the three variables whose product is "climate sensitivity".  It's called Junk Science people, read about it here.

Of course, Obama is all for carbon taxing and the global corporate control that will come with the standards attached to the fictitious theory of a melting planet.  In countries like England and Canada as well as cities around US there's already the groundwork for carbon credits.  In California laws are being put into motion where you will be forced to have a sticker on your car detailing what your emissions are for your car.  Lower emission vehicles will be allowed to park closer to stores and establishments while higher will not.  How apropos since it is the handicapped mind that believes in the fraudulent science that is Global Warming.  So while the duped masses will be treated like royalty the informed citizenry will be treated as the untouchables, how wonderful

Let's dial back to the Oil Crisis again, there's no oil in the world right?  Hmmm…

Petrobras, an enormous oil company in Brazil just found what is considered to be the third largest oil field in the world this past April with over 33 million barrels of oil "enough to supply every refinery in the U.S. for six years"

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601086&sid=aUWwKQhtYbbM&refer=news

Too intimidated by Brazilians and their overt sexuality?  Up for some eccentric cold weathered Slavs?  How about 1.4 billion barrels of oil in Kosovo:

Oh yeah there's some right under our noses in the North Dakota oil patch:

I'm gonna stop on oil now and get back to Obama's  persona but it's important to program this code into your internal hard drive before we go on:

You are an abundant being living in an abundant universe that overflows with anything your heart can conceive or desire…period.

Don't buy into their game, just don't play it.  The whole crunch over lack of basic needs like food water and transportation stresses you out and when you're stressed in this way you get put into survival mode.  When you're in survival mode you're toast, they have you.  See, you're not thinking outside of yourself, contemplating world events or the big picture, putting together the pieces or questioning authority or newspeak or anything, you're just trying to live and get by. 

Survival mode disconnects you from others, you're all about you, your ego, "I must survive, hustle, get through this, win" it's a primal low frequency and a low energy field, you get sucked into the mindset of these hyper-reality shows which are all about elimination and doing what it takes to win.  Not only are you operating from a space of lack and doing a disservice to your infinite divinity but you are in a highly manipulated state.  Now the two rails of design dovetail into one another whereby you are bombarded by false flag terrorism and financial and economic collapse attacking you from all directions to put you into high states of fear and doubt.  You're not thinking about your spirituality, you're not visualizing yourself in the space which you dream of, you're scrambling around like a cockroach.

So when they come along to bail you out or to propose their solution, which is what they wanted from the get-go, you crumble before their majestic rule, obeying, heeling and sucking at their wicked teat.  And if one were to stand up and expose the truth you would yell for them to sit down for you're just trying to survive and get by, there's no room for troublemakers when you're just trying to eat and get to work.  Capish?

'Control the oil and you can control entire continents. Control food and you control people ...' – Henry Kissinger

To think that Obama will be bringing economic prosperity to this country thus freeing you from this glut of dependency would be an ill-conceived thought.  There will be no hope on the economic front once he's in office, it'll just be more of the same.  Obama has appointed two leading apologists for the offshoring of our jobs as his economic advisors- Bill Clinton's Secretary of the Treasury Robert Rubin and Rubin associate Jason Furman. These two are notorious for their justifications of policies that benefit Wall Street, CEOs, and large Corporations that demand high returns to their ravenous shareholders.  This insistence on big paychecks for Wall Street pressures corporations to move their operations abroad. This is why Wal-Mart is telling their American suppliers to "meet the Chinese price" or else.  Retailers are forced to slash everything at the expense of the economic well-being and careers of millions of Americans. Every job and product that is offshored increases the US trade deficit and lowers the US GDP. By enlarging the trade deficit this erodes the reserve currency role of the dollar, the real basis of US power.

Let us not overlook the glaring fact that Obama is basically being financed by convicted inside-trader and multi-billionaire George Soros, the man behind the whiny moveon.org website.  Through this movement Georgie has pumped around 200 million dollars into the Obama campaign while working his magic on the campaign finance laws that would allow the Barack of Love show to receive such a hefty sum.  Soros is all about 'speculation' on currencies and foreign markets so you know he's making a killing on these oil prices, what do you think the main financier of Obama will ask of him with regards to our jobs and the value of our dollar once he gets into office?

Where is the Hope when Obama endorses a foreign policy that feeds into our imperialistic territorial expansion and an economic policy that benefits only multimillionaires and billionaires?  Anyone?  Bueller?

As for taxes there will be plenty more with Obama around.  That's what Socialists do, they tax the living bejeezus out of everyone because you can't create needless federal programs without money from the people. 

Maria Bartiromo of CNBC reported that if Obama wins he'll "take the capital gains tax at 15 percent right now all the way up to 25 to 28 percent…sell anything, like a home or stocks, and make a profit . . . 30 percent of the profit will go to the government instead of 15."  The income tax will also be almost doubled under Obama.  The dividend tax will also increase from 15% to around 40% under Obama and he's planning on reinstating the Inheritance Tax a tax that was actually repealed by Bush. 

Obama, can your government rape my wallet with a smile on their face while saying it's for my own good?  

The siphoning of funds from your fragile bank accounts will also come under the guise of taking care of you via our corruptible healthcare system.  I really chuckled and shook my head at the bickering that Hilary and Obama engaged one another in over the debate of our healthcare. 

The only difference between the two of them is that Obama wants to mandate coverage for children and to fine parents for not covering them while Hilary was insisting on mandating coverage for all and fining everyone who did not comply.  How would mandatory compliance be achieved you ask?  Why the same way they violate you for your Socialism Security contributions, the same contributions that are going to a fund that does not exist in the black anymore and that is impossible to remove yourself from.  A piece of everyone's paycheck would go to paying for healthcare in the same way that Illegal Federal Taxation is taken from you.  I love how Hilary's plan was touted as including everyone.  Yeah man, she's got an AK at every employer's head, courtesy of your big bloated government, forcing them to cough up the dillies so that the ever benevolent D.C. can take care of you from cradle to grave.

Bashlock also wants to force employers to offer insurance by giving them a 'pay or play' option for healthcare which means you either offer insurance based on a debilitating healthcare apparatus or you contribute to it, either way we get your money.  He also wants to create a 'National Health Insurance Exchange' which essentially will be a Federal marketing program to con more people into dying faster by accepting coverage by a system that treats people to disease rather than health.

Bama's plan is going to cost around 50-70 billion a year to get everybody into or access to the system with the operative word being 'system'.

Can we wrap our brains around that one please, they will fine you if you're not a part of their 'system', is that not the practice of a tyrannical rule?  This is a system that does not give a rats ass about getting you healthier.  This is a system that thrives off of your sickness, that looks to keep you under their thumb through drugs that do not work or that work long enough to get you addicted to using them on a regular basis.  This is a system that makes up imaginary conditions like ADHD and works with legislators to force children to take drugs to cure them of these imaginary diseases. 

One out of every five dollars spent in this country goes to disease or to finding a cure for it, what a pathetic joke.  Has anyone found anything in the past half century besides more creepy crawlies on our favorite fun parts?  Well, they have but any intelligence that would eliminate disease completely is immediately suppressed.  I've written about Breast Cancer research and how all these walks and ribbons actually increase the amount of women who get this cancer due to the screening process that radiates their chests.

50% of all bankruptcies in this country are due to medical costs.  If you're looking to defend the Medical Establishment here's a lil' curveball for you, did you know that Medicare has paid out 478,500 claims to doctors or suppliers of health services who were deceased?  You read that right, dead doctors are getting hooked up by Medicare.  Ludicrous? Fictional?  Read it about it here:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/09/washington/09fraud.html?_r=2&ref=us&oref=slogin&oref=slogin

It's just a-symptomatic of a system that cannot regulate itself nor perform adequately; sounds like the marketing team behind Edie Murphy's recent flop, awww, poor Eddie.  For every dollar the government takes from you for federal programs you get 34 cents back.  Now how do you feel about them taking your cash for health and deciding who gets care and how they get it; cutting their deals and kowtowing to moral and ethical syllogisms which have no business in health unless of course it is a business, which it is.

"My plan begins by covering every American" – Obama

Sure does, it guarantees eligibility for everyone to pay to be sick.  You will not be turned away to have deadly chemicals and big pharma drugs enter your body.  Obama is not talking at all about eliminating subsidies for the sugar and corn industries that exist in this country and that are literally killing our children.  Our government is paying to have these ingredients in almost everything that you eat and the effects have been catastrophic.  Now we just don't have diabetes we've had to create 'adult-onset diabetes' to label all the kids that eat these foods hourly which are eroding their bodies and fattening them up like cows to the slaughter.

There is no talk from Mr. Hope Change Yes We Can for subsidizing organic farming and replenishing our soils with minerals.  No talk about releasing farmers from the shackles of debt or corporate ownership.  No talk about eliminating the poisoning of our foods with FDA approved Aspartames and the like.  No talk of eliminating the fluoride from our water or the chemicals that spray our skies every day. 

Nope, just talk of taking your money from you so you can pay more money to get into a door that you paid for.  Gotta love it.

Bring out the experts that the people will listen to!!! So, of course the idiot slew of uninformed celes aren't just jumping on the bandwagon, they're having a veritable orgy on it.  Take it away people…

For the first time in my life I am inspired by a leader who puts principles ahead of polls and unites all of us around a common purpose – Chris Rock

I think that by simply electing Obama our country is going to get more respect around the world – Common

Yes, when we're screwing them over with our aggressive military and interfering in their affairs they may not feel good about it at night…but they'll respect us in the morning.

When I hear Obama speak it brings to mind Kennedy and King in one person – Stevie Wonder

My favorite yutz for the celeb quote machine had a coupla doozies also:

The most important qualifications a candidate can possess is being able to inspire people to want to do things for the country.  He makes me feel like it's possible to change the world.

I certainly think there's a musical quality to how Obama speaks…that ability to make people want to listen.  That alone, to me, makes him the most qualified. – Dave Matthews

Am I to think that I should succumb to the lilting dulcet tones of Obama and allow him to lead me along with this country to its demise simply because…he's easy on the ears?!?!?! We don't need an inspirational poem for this country.  We need a plumber; someone to come in and fix the pipes to flush away all of the waste that's been building up for decades.  The US needs a colonic, stat! 

He speaks to the America I've envisioned in my music…a citizenry willing to tackle the nuanced and complex problems, a country that's interested in its collective destiny and in the potential of its gathered spirit  - Bruce Springsteen

Let's leave Nuance, Destiny and Spirit to the strip clubs and out of our political discussions, okay Bruce?  At least one celeb's got it right:

"Phenomenally inhuman and unconstitutional" -----Sean Penn's comments about Barack Obama's voting record.

You go Sean!  You need to put a whupping on Barack the way you gave Esai Morales a beatdown in Bad Boys.  Woo Hoo!

You look at Barack and you can't help but feeling hopeful – David Crosby

Hope shmope.  Have we forgotten that Slick Willie also came in on a wave of Bowie's refrain ch ch ch changes and also espoused the virtues of Hope and how he came from a town called Hope and how he blew a load in Hope and how Hope swallowed, cut to 8 years of hell.  Courage to Change, jeez people, that's the exact same load of malarkey that Clinton said back in his campaign in 92…did I just use the word malarkey in a sentence?  Note to self.

"He just seems like an honest person.  And I really feel like that's what we need right now" - Ludacris

He just 'seems' Luda?  Are we basing the direction of our country on 'seems'.  I'm sure the cinematic flop Space Chimps 'seemed' like a good idea at the time.  It definitely 'seemed' like Brett Favre was fully retired didn't it? 

Last but not least…

The Kennedys put out a message of hope and John Kennedy was able to bring the country together, I have a feeling Obama might be able to do that as well" – Bob Weir

That is it!  I have had enough of this yammering that Obama in some way represents JFK or is somehow a new and improved version of JFK.   This is such an insult to one of the greatest men this country ever experienced and it needs to stop immediately.  Thinking the thought of Obama in conjunction with JFK should send the Catholics to the Confessionals.

If anything, the only similarities between the two will be the attempt on Obama's life as a black president.  Yet while Obama's detractors will hinge solely on his skin tone JFK's murder by the power structure of this country and globe was due to his heroic stance of daring to break America free from the entanglements and deceit brought on by the Federal Reserve and its international cartel of bankers that have owned this country for the past 95 years. 

Executive Order 11110 signed by JFK on June 4 of 1963 actually stripped the Reserve of its power and allowed our Government to issue Silver Certificates circumventing the Reserve's illusory worthless notes that are paralyzing our country to this day.    4.3 billion dollars of real currency backed by real money went into circulation during the final months of JFK.  This threatened the Reserve and its fat cats who were ravenously feeding off of the American people with their fiat currency backed by nothing but faith and illusion.  Five months later Kennedy was murdered as a warning to anyone who was silly enough to challenge their rule.  Since then six trillion dollars of debt has amounted on this country and is the real reason why our economy and dollar are sinking.

You can talk all you want about race and moral ca ca, as far as I'm concerned that is a cultural issue and not a political one.  If we had a real economy backed by real money that brought true prosperity to all people then race and all that hoo-ha would take a back seat to a lot of ills.  Kennedy was all about removing the profit centers of war and a rocketing rate of interest created by a Private Bank, had he lived to see his vision through we'd be living in a much different world.

Kennedy was also brave enough to stand up in resistance to the war in Vietnam and to see the role of this country as a society that leads by example rather than by force alone:

"We must reject oversimplified theories of international life — the theory that American power is unlimited, or that the American mission is to remake the world in the American image. We must seize the vision of a free and diverse world — and shape our policies to speed progress toward a more flexible world order." - JFK

If you want a comparison to Kennedy then Dr. Ron Paul has done nothing but speak of ending the Federal Reserve and bringing our troops home from all over the world, not just from Iraq.  So invoking the holy initials of Kennedy is really only appropriate with him and not Obama.

Obama may be charismatic and intelligent but visionary and courageous…

This country does not need hope and superficial ideals.  The general populace has become a big fat lazy stupid broke diseased half-breed sitting on a couch sizzling their peptides while slurping up the latest slop from Reality TV Land.  They don't need a speech on hope and race, they need to be kicked out the house and put on a treadmill.  Hope, American Dream, whatever, put that nonsense to bed and that's where it truly belongs because the people of this country have been asleep for too long 'dreaming' and 'hoping'. 

The systematic overthrow of the middle class along with the disintegration of the Super Power status of this nation through blind imperialism, a glut of free trade agreements and a Machiavellian Diplomacy is gnawing a hole through what made this country great and this ninny you are resting your hope and optimism on will not put out once you get him undressed and elected.  Expect more of the same BS, you are changing the symbolic face plate of this country's cellphone from one old coot to one slick sable neon doo-wah-diddy, it is a change of screen saver, a new pair of shoes, but the machinery which makes this nation go and is bleeding it dry from within is going nowhere.

I daresay Mr. Obama would even think about standing up to this beast or would consider eliminating the CIA as JFK was on his way to doing.  Make no mistake, Obama is a company man, an adept politico who by his continued subservience to the elite has positioned himself for a seat of power.  While his speeches may overflow with poetic sincerity and vision his actions are on the opposite side of the spectrum.

If you want to get an idea as to how Obama will be communicating wit his constituency once elected you need look no further than his recent stance on the FISA bill.  This legislation that was just approved granted complete legal immunity to the telecommunications companies that had cooperated and will continue to cooperate with our government's current program of wiretapping and eavesdropping on your calls and e-mails without the need for a warrant.

Many of Obama's supporters were up in arms when they found out that he supported this bill and even went so far as to mobilize large numbers of Obama heads to make their feelings known through his campaign's website.

Obama's reaction?

"Some of you may decide that my FISA position is a deal breaker. That's OK. But I think it is worth pointing out that our agreement on the vast majority of issues that matter outweighs the differences we may have." – Barack Obama

Ouch.  Yeah, good to hear from you but piss off.  Your privacy and your freedom doesn't matter to me but Jigga just endorsed me!  That matters so much more!

Know this my beautiful friends, a vote for Obama means a vote for:

1. More War
2. Socialism
3. Higher Taxes including bogus Warming Carbon Taxes
4. Warrantless wiretaps and searches
5. North American Union/Dissolution of American Sovereignty
6. More sickness, less health
7. More jobs exported overseas placating Wall Street fat cats

Yeah, you get a good lookin' brotha but if you're looking for a fairytale then pop in 'The Princess Bride' on your DVD player instead.  We are witnessing the destruction of everything that makes this country one of the greatest experiments in the history of this planet.  They needed a unique distraction to lull you to sleep while this was going on; they have found the perfect foil. 

I suppose it won't be all that bad especially with Oprah as Secretary of Education.  Getting mandated book-reads will be one of the least intrusive tentacles of the Government; I've never actually read a Toni Morrison book so being forced to read one is not as awful as it sounds.

If anything we must be galvanized by the fact that the people truly affected the outcome of this Presidential Election for the first time in decades.  The elite wanted nothing more than for Hilary to be crowned in November while defeating fear monger Giuliani in a landslide.  Thanks to people actually caring about the direction of this country they have spoken up and rejected the old guard in favor of what they believe to be the fix needed for our redemption.  On the left, Hilary was replaced by Obama and on the right Rudy Ghouliani was replaced by McCain thanks to the Ron Paul Revolution obliterating his campaign with sense.

I understand the landmark implications of having Obama become our president but perhaps we should heed the words of one of the greatest Black leaders that there ever was before we get too excited about him.  Shouldn't we judge people "not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character"?

Whether it's the smooth brother, the crippled songbird or the chick with the strap-on all of these compromised candidates are fittin' to bend you over one way or another.  McCain wants to pound away at you while calling you 'My Friend' every couple of minutes while Obama's got the candles, aromatherapy and the Quiet Storm on in the background; whatever rigged electronic voting machine you cast your deleted vote on in November…you're gonna get screwed.

McCain or Obama, it doesn't matter.

"There really is no choice there, they all belong to the same group, they are beholden to the military industrial complex and the medical industry, the media industry, the whole works, the banking industry. The rhetoric is different but they're all after power and there is not going to be a lot of difference." – Ron Paul

You argue that Obama is the most palatable alternative to John McCain.  I cue up the scene from 'Meatballs' where Bill Murray is exhorting Camp Northstar to rise up against the rich kids from Camp Mohawk.  Take it away Bill:

It just doesn't matter!  It just doesn't matter!

Everybody say it now!  On to the egg tossing contest!

What does matter is that we stay vigilant, continue to speak up and stay informed.  Now is not the time to fall back to sleep because you think that you've achieved something with the coronation of Obama.  We must Restore the Republic!  The financial system is collapsing, let it I say, it is an illusion!  Money printed out of thin air by an International Cartel of bankers who have no allegiance to this country…It's time for y'all to go!

"You are a den of vipers. I intend to rout you out and by the Eternal God I will rout you out. If the people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking system, there would be a revolution before morning." --Andrew Jackson,

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered" – Thomas Jefferson

THE DIAMOND CONSPIRACY ...

SPELT ... D.E.B.E.E.R.S ...

Hello all ...

There's been a lot of publicity in the last few weeks about a movie called Blood Diamond with Leonardo DiCaprio and it has triggered much debate about the selling of diamonds to finance wars in Africa.

The film highlights the trade in these blood or 'conflict diamonds' in Sierra Leone to fund the civil war there in the late 1990s and there has been a similar situation in Angola, Liberia, and the Congo, formerly Zaire. The Ivory Coast was implicated in exporting these diamonds for Liberia and Sierra Leone. 

But hold on a second here. All that glitters is not gold and all that sparkles is not rare and valuable. Not without gross manipulation, anyway. There is a lot more to know about the diamond trade and the 'blood' variety are only part of the story. I am not defending the sale of diamonds to finance war, for I do not defend war itself whatever the source of funding. But I keep hearing about the 'illegal' and 'illicit' trade in diamonds in the wake of this movie when virtually the entire diamond industry is a corrupt and contemptible con.

Massive marketing campaigns over many decades have sold the myth that diamonds are rare and therefore must be expensive. This is a lie. Diamonds are crystals of carbon and they can be found in great quantities all over the world. They are produced by heat and pressure some 1,200 miles below ground and they have been brought to the surface by volcanoes to be mined, most famously in Africa. But they are found in extinct volcanoes throughout Asia, America, Russia and Australia, and along riverbeds and shorelines are the 'alluvial diamonds', as they are called. Everywhere there is carbon there are diamonds.

The number one fact to know about them is that they are not rare and therefore should be a fraction of the cost that people and industry pay for them. They are so expensive, not because they are rare, but because one family, controlled by another family, manipulates the market on a scale, and through methods, that beggar belief. Well, unless you understand the mentality of those involved, that is. Then it's not even a surprise. As Edward Epstein, author of The Rise and Fall of Diamonds, said: 

'What I learned was that the diamond business wasn't a business of extracting, as I originally expected, something of enormous value and then simply seeing how much of this object you could get out of the ground and selling it. That was what the business appeared to be when I started my venture.

'But their real business was restricting what came out of the ground, restricting what was discovered, restricting what got cut, restricting what actually found its way into the retail market and, at the same time, through movies, through advertising, through Hollywood, through the manipulation of perceptions, creating the idea that there was this enormous demand for these shiny little objects that they seemed to have in abundant supply.

'So I wound up on this voyage of discovery starting off with the idea that there was this object of great value, and it was just a question of how many could you get out, and I wound up discovering it was just the opposite.'

The family that controls and callously manipulates the diamond trade is called Oppenheimer and the family that controls them is called Rothschild. Their vehicle is the name synonymous with diamonds ... De Beers.

It all began in Kimberley, South Africa, in 1871 when a huge quantity of diamonds was found. Before that they had indeed been rare in the sense that comparatively few had been brought to market, mostly from India and Brazil. According to the records of the British East India Company, Jewish traders controlled virtually the entire world diamond traffic by the end of the eighteenth century. The Brazilian fields, however, were almost depleted of diamonds, and no more diamonds were coming out of India.  But the find at Kimberly changed all that and the infamous Rothschild agent, Cecil Rhodes, seized the opportunity. His biggest coup was to pay £6,000 to a farmer called De Beer for his diamond-rich land and Rhodes set about bringing together all claim holders in the area into his company, which he called De Beers Consolidated Mines, formed in 1888. It was nothing short of a diamond cartel.

Then, in 1914, along came a German-born diamond dealer called Ernest Oppenheimer who discovered enormous qualities of diamonds in what was then called German South West Africa, now Namibia. It was the biggest diamond mine in history at that time and so abundant that black people were deployed with a tin can around their necks to simply go around on hands and knees and pick them up. Oppenheimer secured control of the land, but his report on the find was kept hidden from the public to keep secret the number of diamonds available. He called his company the Anglo American Corporation because of his investors in England (primarily the Rothschilds) and in America (the J.P. Morgan operation controlled by the Rothschilds).

In the 1920s Oppenheimer, supported by the Rothschilds, made his move on De Beers. He told them that if they did not make him chairman of the company he would flood the market with diamonds and crash the price. He became chairman in 1929 and the takeover of the global diamond trade was complete. It wasn't even truly a cartel because it was controlled by one family, the Oppenheimers, fronting for another, the Rothschilds. De Beers was owned by Anglo American and, through creative bookkeeping and management, Anglo American was owned by De Beers.

With diamonds so common throughout the world the entire trade is based on convincing people they are rare. To do this has involved indoctrination of the public, especially through television and Hollywood, and ensuring that the number of diamonds cut and available for sale is strictly limited. Marketing consultant Herbert Chao Gunther, said:  

'Nobody's aware that diamonds and all the associations we have with diamonds is a product of a marketing strategy. It's completely invisible, transparent. If you measure it in terms of how all the myths associated with this advertising campaign have been deeply inculcated in people -- it's reached deeply into the popular imagination -- this is probably the most successful campaign in history.'

The Oppenheimers opened a Hollywood office that gave diamonds to film producers who would promote them in their movies. The aim was to associate diamonds as a token of true love and something that is given by the man as a surprise (so the woman is not in on the decision and chooses something else).  Claudette Colbert and Merle Oberon were given special scenes to show off their De Beers diamonds and the film Diamonds Are Dangerous was retitled Adventure in Diamonds to suit the De Beers campaign. The song Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend, performed by Marilyn Monroe in the 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, has been listed as the 12^th most important movie song of all time. Jane Russell sang it in the same film and it has been endlessly performed by others since, including Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge in 2001.

The Oppenheimers also came to an arrangement with the British Royal Family to wear their diamonds at the expense of other gems and the whole marketing campaign peddled the blatant untruth that diamonds were rare and thus had to be expensive. Gifts to the already filthy rich Windsors included caskets embossed with coronets that contained a six-carat stone for Princess Elizabeth and a four-and-a-half-carat diamond for Princess Margaret.

Another De Beers marketing strategy was to say 'a diamond is forever' and should not be resold. This was designed to suppress the market in second hand diamonds to protect the price of the new ones. These guys don't miss a trick.

But selling the lie to the public is only one part of the Oppenheimer/De Beers strategy. They also have to stop the market being flooded with all the diamonds that really exist, in fact and potentially. This they have done coldly and ruthlessly. Fewer than 200 merchants are allowed to buy from De Beers. These are the so-called 'sightholders' who can hold and see the rough diamonds that De Beers is prepared to market from its headquarters at 17 Charterhouse Street in East London. Everyone else must buy from the sightholder.

Through this system De Beers controls how many diamonds are released for sale and this is vital to stop their scam collapsing. They distribute to the cutters what is in short supply on the market and horde what is abundant, a technique that fixes the price through supply and demand and keeps it artificially high. The sightholders can make requests for what they want, but De Beers decides if they get it. One of them, William Goldberg, said: 'I've been very angry and cussed a lot and been very upset, but that's - that's how the cookie crumbles. I have no - I have no options ...'

The Oppenheimers are constantly targeting new supplies of diamonds that they don't control and, big or small, their owners are bought out or threatened with consequences. Fouad Kamil, a former 'diamond detective' with the Anglo-American Corporation, said that competition did not suit his former employers. 'They wanted the whole plate for themselves', he said and this involved violence and intimidation against those operating outside the cartel:

'Diamonds going out of Sierra Leone and other African diamond markets were going to what Anglo American described as black markets, that is, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Germany, some parts of the United States and Israel. Now, these people were labelled black markets by Anglo American, but in their own countries, they were respectable diamond dealers.

'... those that had diamonds, I took them as prisoners. I interrogated them, got the information from them. I kept them as long as I wanted, week to week, some of them months, and released them when I wanted. There was beatings. There was punishments without food. We did everything we could to extort the information from them. There was a stage when no one dared to pass from there, diamonds or no diamonds. So to put it bluntly, we were a terrorist group. That's what it amounts to.'

Where 'alluvial diamonds' were being found washed up on riverbanks, De Beers sent out Oxford graduates into the jungle to buy them in the local currency, anything to stop them getting on the market. The Oppenheimers also secured their monopoly by doing deals with the colonial powers and, after 'independence', with the corrupt African leaders installed by the colonial powers. Those who were critical of the colonial mining system, like the Congo's first democratically elected leader, Patrice Lumumba, ended up dead in a coup backed by the CIA. The intelligence agency network connects with the transnational corporations like Anglo American and De Beers through the bloodline secret society nexus.

Others like Mobutu Sese Seko, the dictator when the Congo became Zaire, accrued immense riches after selling out his people to De Beers. A deal was struck by a De Beers middleman, an American called Maurice Tempelsman, as revealed in some declassified documents from the U.S. State Department. Tempelsman met with the State Department, the U.S. Embassy in Kinshasa, Mobutu and De Beers and what emerged was an exclusive contract for all Zaire's diamonds to be shipped to De Beers in London.

Mobutu and wife ...soul sellersAt least most of the coups, wars and slaughter in Africa have been manipulated by the Brotherhood cartels to direct power and events for their own benefit and there is an endless supply of 'Mobutus' to help them in return for a substantial commission. On one occasion the secretary of Mobutu's wife was found at an airport to be carrying diamonds worth $6 million. Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe is a perfect example today of the depth of sickness available for exploitation by these global corporations. Edward Epstein, author of The Rise and Fall of Diamonds, said of De Beers:

'Each time diamonds are found in an inconvenient place, they begin, the diamond cartel, through intermediaries, through law firms they hire, ways to think, how can we prevent these diamonds from reaching the market? And declaring something a national park, tying things up in litigation -- these are just the methods and there's an infinite number of different methods you could use, once you understand what the objective is. The objective is to prevent mines from being developed that are outside their control.'

According to Justice Department records, America's only diamond mine, at Murfreesboro in south west Arkansas, was closed after J.P. Morgan and Sir Ernest Oppenheimer from Anglo American/De Beers met with Sam Rayburn and other principals of the Arkansas Diamond Corporation. The mine has never reopened even though geological surveys showed it had great promise.

Even during the Second World War, the Oppenheimers would not release industrial diamonds for use in the American war effort until a deal was struck to ensure that De Beers controlled them at all times and they could not be sold when the conflict was over. Even then, it was later established that De Beers had overcharged the Americans for this supply while running an advertising campaign in the United States urging people to buy De Beer gems because they paid for the industrial diamonds that America needed to win the war. These characters simply have no shame.

But when it came to the Nazis there seemed to be no problem. They were being supplied with industrial diamonds 'smuggled' from an Oppenheimer-controlled mine in the Congo. One method was to load Belgian Red Cross parcels with the diamonds and send them to Nazi-occupied Belgium via Switzerland.  The allies knew that without the Congo stones, Hitler would run out within eight months, but the Oppenheimers refused to do anything to stop this supply and a U.S. intelligence investigation into their actions was mysteriously terminated before its conclusion.

In the 1950s when diamonds were found in Siberia that threatened the cartel's control, De Beers could not directly do business with the Soviet Union. So they simply set up a separate operation owned by a U.K. merchant bank across the street from their offices and the Russian diamonds quietly found their way into the De Beers central selling system. Harry Oppenheimer's son-in-law was seen at the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow when, given that he came from apartheid South Africa, he could not have had an entry visa. But all that stuff is for the people, not the elite.

A massive diamond find at the Ashton mine in Australia in 1979 was met with the usual Oppenheimer ruthlessness. They threatened to reduce diamond prices in the categories of stones the new mine would produce while at the same time the Oppenheimers bought stock in key Australian companies. Australian journalists were invited to South Africa, sponsored by De Beers, to promote the company and the pathetic Australian media began to support a De Beers takeover of the Ashton project. In the end, the cartel won and the Australian diamonds headed for the De Beers central selling system in London. Corporate Investigator Thomas Helsby said: 

'The De Beers operation is essentially the control of the production of diamonds. They control the chain of supply of diamonds and that's the way in which they control the diamond market. If somebody were to try to go around the cartel, the concern that they would have to have is how long it would last, because of course, De Beers, in the past, has been very successful at bringing all the producers into the cartel.'

The Oppenheimers are so arrogant about their power and use such intimidation that when the U.S. Justice Department tried to serve an anti-trust notice on De Beers it took a long time to find a South African lawyer who would hand it over. When one eventually did a De Beers representative ripped the paper into shreds, stamped on it and then basically threw the guy out.

So the scandal of diamonds is far from confined to the 'blood diamonds' highlighted in the DiCaprio movie. In fact, keeping such diamonds off the market would suit the aims of the De Beers cartel in suppressing all sales that it doesn't control - unless, of course, it is making money out of them.

Down in Kimberley, the home of Harry Oppenheimer House, the main De Beers diamond sorting centre in southern Africa, some strange events were reported from around 2002. The diamond reserves in the area are supposed to be virtually worked out, but suddenly there was a renaissance. From a few carats a month, diggers began arriving with what was described as 'a small mine's production'. This made no sense and officials from the South African government diamond valuator (a company appointed by the government to value and monitor diamond exports) said they suspected that diamonds from countries to the north were being laundered through the small mining operations around Kimberley and sold through the De Beers sorting centre.

The conclusion is highly credible and if that is what has been going on the De Beers cartel would certainly know about it - but be sure they won't be telling anyone else.

Ten Reasons Why You Should Never Accept a Diamond Ring

1. You've Been Psychologically Conditioned To Want a Diamond
The diamond engagement ring is a 63-year-old invention of N.W. Ayer advertising agency. The De Beers diamond cartel contracted N.W. Ayer to create a demand for what are, essentially, useless hunks of rock.

2. Diamonds are Priced Well Above Their Value
The De Beers cartel has systematically held diamond prices at levels far greater than their abundance would generate under anything even remotely resembling perfect competition. All diamonds not already under its control are bought by the cartel, and then the De Beers cartel carefully managed world diamond supply in order to keep prices steadily high.

3. Diamonds Have No Resale or Investment Value
Any diamond that you buy or receive will indeed be yours forever: De Beers' advertising deliberately brain-washed women not to sell; the steady price is a tool to prevent speculation in diamonds; and no dealer will buy a diamond from you. You can only sell it at a diamond purchasing center or a pawn shop where you will receive a tiny fraction of its original "value."

4. Diamond Miners are Disproportionately Exposed to HIV/AIDS
Many diamond mining camps enforce all-male, no-family rules. Men contract HIV/AIDS from camp sex-workers, while women married to miners have no access to employment, no income outside of their husbands and no bargaining power for negotiating safe sex, and thus are at extremely high risk of contracting HIV.

5. Open-Pit Diamond Mines Pose Environmental Threats
Diamond mines are open pits where salts, heavy minerals, organisms, oil, and chemicals from mining equipment freely leach into ground-water, endangering people in nearby mining camps and villages, as well as downstream plants and animals.

6. Diamond Mine-Owners Violate Indigenous People's Rights
Diamond mines in Australia, Canada, India and many countries in Africa are situated on lands traditionally associated with indigenous peoples. Many of these communities have been displaced, while others remain, often at great cost to their health, livelihoods and traditional cultures.

7. Slave Laborers Cut and Polish Diamonds
More than one-half of the world's diamonds are processed in India where many of the cutters and polishers are bonded child laborers. Bonded children work to pay off the debts of their relatives, often unsuccessfully. When they reach adulthood their debt is passed on to their younger siblings or to their own children.

8. Conflict Diamonds Fund Civil Wars in Africa
There is no reliable way to insure that your diamond was not mined or stolen by government or rebel military forces in order to finance civil conflict. Conflict diamonds are traded either for guns or for cash to pay and feed soldiers.

9. Diamond Wars are Fought Using Child Warriors
Many diamond producing governments and rebel forces use children as soldiers, laborers in military camps, and sex slaves. Child soldiers are given drugs to overcome their fear and reluctance to participate in atrocities.

10. Small Arms Trade is Intimately Related to Diamond Smuggling
Illicit diamonds inflame the clandestine trade of small arms. There are 500 million small arms in the world today which are used to kill 500,000 people annually, the vast majority of whom are non-combatants.
