The illusion is getting smaller. It has been perceived worldwide. Now only the insane can miss it. Thirteen millennia of élite-led disinformation and financial fraud on the planet are at last coming to an end.
The Secret Covenant of the Illuminati is a busted flush. The MSM cover story that The Protocols of the Elders of Zion are just an "anti-Semitic" propaganda ploy has been rubbished.
On Monday 1st October 2012, writing from Japan (full text here), the English Language spokesman of the White Dragon Society and its Asian affiliates cited Western intelligence sources in his claim that the old pentagram of corrupt global power, David Rockefeller, George Bush Senior, Queen Elizabeth II,Evelyn de Rothschild and Josef Ratzinger (the Pope) is running out of money and fiddling while Rome burns.
These five confused, dribbling and incontinent geriatrics, whose reptilian clone-lines are becoming exhausted through over-extension, would have been terminated or retired decades ago if they weren't so useful to their corporate handlers and controlling syndicates.
It can be an operational advantage to have an élite boss who is terminally gaga and forgetful. For historical and lineage reasons, his signature retains crucial executive importance. You can get him to sign documents twice because he forgets he has signed them before. But the trick is this: the second document is settled in slightly different terms than the first. So you have two competing documents in circulation, one of which is a calculated fraud.
Such texts can be used to block legitimate capital transfers. Lawyers can brandish the documents for years to obfuscate international fund disbursements. Meanwhile, you divert these funds and use them as collateral in highly leveraged derivatives trading programs.
At present The Pentagram Five are reported to be in deep disarray about what to do with the emerging torrent of disclosures which are laying bare their involvement in global financial theft, Black Magic, human sacrifice, child abduction, ritual paedophilia, gerrymandering interference in Western elections and appointments to international institutions, and the computer-driven rigging of international markets.
The indications are that the management structures of the Illuminati's reptilian bloodlines have fallen apart in deadly acrimony. Elizabeth Windsor (Queen Elizabeth II of England) and Josef Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) are quietly funneling substantial sums of money to Barack Obama and pushing for his fraudulent re-election as US President in November 2012. This move is in direct opposition to the Bush syndicate's promotion of their marionette frontman, Mitt Romney who, it is planned, will eventually be obliged to step aside to allow Jeb Bush to become US President.
The US Nazi-continuum syndicates (the Rockefellers and the Kissinger-Bushes) are struggling to maintain traction in Asia and have lost control of North Korea, the Yakuza and their lucrative Yen carry trade in Japan.
The once great Rothschild dynasty is irrevocably divided, out on a limb and isolated. Their pet plan to start World War III and mayhem in the Middle-East, prior to doubling global oil prices, is starting to look like a seriously maladroit chess move. The laughable lack of credibility of the Rothschild's two leading political puppets in the region, Binyamin Netanyahu (Israel) and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (Iran) has undermined the whole operation.
The G5 media-manufactured conflict between "Israel" and "Iran" has been consigned to the dustbin of history. This was never a conflict between peoples; it was a pre-arranged, theatrical war-clash between two Sabbatean Satanist national leaders who areclose colleagues in a Middle East based global subversion. Ahmadinejad (aka Sabourjian), let us not forget, is "Jewish".
The US Pentagon, now that the Rockefeller and Bush syndicates have split decisively from the Rothschilds, is said to be planning the closure of over forty four US military bases around Iran in order to speed up the collapse of the "attack Iran" Talmudic faction in Zionist Israel. This faction has turned Israel into the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. One of the US bases earmarked for closure is rumoured to be the headquarters of the US Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.
Russia, China and Turkey have seen to it that the Rothschild strategy to force régime change in Syria, followed by more of the same in Jordan and then Saudi Arabia, as a precursor to hiking oil prices and replenishing the Rothschild coffers, will not work. Even if the plan partially succeeds, the financial beneficiaries will not now be the Rothschild banking cartel. Turkey is the rising power in the region. She is beginning to call the shots. She has (benevolent) financial ambitions of her own.
The murderous end-time rivalry between the European-based Rothschilds and the US-based Nazi-continuum received wide coverage recently in Libya. The assassination of US "Ambassador"Christopher Stevens (52), on Tuesday 11th September 2012, at the non-existent US consulate in Benghazi, was the killing of a Bush agent by a Rothschild agent in a proxy battle over Libyan oil and Libyan gold.
Picture: US Ambassador Christopher Stevens assassination. Benghazi, Libya 2012.
The picture of Christopher Stevens' abduction shown above was not allowed to be published in the Western mainstream media, nor were the exact circumstances of his death. Arabic language news outlets were not so coy. Over a period of eight hours, Stevens was raped, slowly tortured to death and raped again. His body was then returned to the remaining US CIA people in Benghazi.
There was never any US consulate in Benghazi. No such official facility was ever listed on the US State Department webpages for Libya. What there was in Benghazi was a clandestine Bush faction CIA "mission" which served as a base for US corporation subversion of Libya. And Christopher Stevens himself was mutton dressed up as lamb. He was not a career diplomat. Stevens was a Nazi-continuum rogue faction CIA fixer.
The Illuminati's Pentagram Five are also facing destructive end-time stresses in Rome. On Monday 24th September 2012, it was noted here that a high level Italian aristocratic source had reported that there were signs of serious strife and change at the Vatican in Rome. Josef Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) was claiming that he was helpless in trying to stop the deadly factional turf wars raging at the top of the Catholic power pyramid between Opus Dei and the Jesuits. The Pope had survived several attempts to poison him and was reduced to sneaking out of the Vatican in disguise in order to find out what was really going on in the fissiparous Church powerplays.
Enormous attempts were made by the Vatican to downplay the Pope's butler case. On Saturday 6th October 2012, Paolo Gabriele (the Pope's former butler) was sentenced to eighteen months in prison for stealing Pope Benedict XVI's private correspondence. It was a lightning-quick internal show trial conducted by the Vatican itself inside Vatican City.
Gabriele, a 46-year-old Italian layman and father of three, was found guilty of "aggravated theft". Sensitive letters to the Pope were leaked to the Italian journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi and published in his bestselling book "Your Holiness: The Secret Papers of Benedict XVI".
On some of the stolen letters, the Pope had written "To be destroyed". These particular documents were not included in Nuzzi's book and have yet to be published. Gabriele said he felt like an "agent of the Holy Spirit." He had leaked the letters to expose the power struggles and corruption which were raging around the Pope in the Vatican.
Further reportage and analysis on the Gabriele case can be foundhere (13.10.12), here (07.10.12), here (05.10.12), here(29.05.12) and here (25.05.12). And there is an instructive piece on Josef Ratzinger by the Catholic theologian Hans Küng here(05.10.12). Küng was a theological mentor of Ratzinger at the University of Tübingen (Germany) in the 1960s, and the pair worked closely together as theological advisers to the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965).
Picture: Second Vatican Council. Rome 1962-1965. Bas-relief.
Hans Küng's view is that the Catholic dogma of Papal Infallibility is theologically unsustainable and that priests and churchgoers should confront the Catholic hierarchy, which is corrupt, lacking credibility and apathetic to the real concerns of the church's members. Küng argues that the modern Roman Catholic Church is an authoritarian system exhibiting telling parallels with the dictatorship of Nazi Germany.
Another less prominent, but more powerful, Roman Catholic is pictured in the centre of the Satanic pentagram at the head of this article. He is Peter Hans Kolvenbach, born in 1928. Kolvenbach, said to be the senior Satanist at the top of Vatican Roman Catholicism, was the Jesuit Superior General (Black Pope) for a quarter of a century from 1983 to 2008.
Kolvenbach has struggled to hold the Pentagram Five alliances together and has now failed. What is left is a maggot broth of seething evil. None of the principals ever believes what any of the others say, lies and deceit dominate their communications, assassinations, sabotage and thefts of each others' funds are attempted every day.
Back in the early 1990s, while still the Jesuit Superior General, Peter Hans Kolvenbach is said to have decisively interfered in British governance. The incident related to his covert control of Elizabeth Windsor (Queen Elizabeth II of England).
The Queen regards herself as a sworn guardian of the historical treasure of the Knights Templar. The Knights Templar are now better known as the Jesuits. The treasure of the Templars is not a particular stash of gold or sequestered riches. The treasure of the Knights Templar is the total financial control of the planet.
In the 1950s, as a young women, and recently enthroned as Queen, Elizabeth Windsor was compelled by her mother,Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, to take the Jesuit Blood Oath. This was an extremely unusual step for a woman – even for one of such notable aristocratic lineage. The oath the Queen took is sometimes referred to as the Jesuit Extreme Oath and Induction. The text of this Satanic rite was placed on the US Congressional record on the 15th February 1913. The page was torn out by a Jesuit agent at a later date. The full text of the Jesuit Blood Oath can be read here.
Elizabeth Windsor took the Jesuit Blood Oath in secret, one August, at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. A related curio, perhaps relevant to that remote location in Aberdeenshire, is that the Jesuits wrote the first 25 degrees of the Scottish Rite Freemasonry in 1754. More background about this can be found here. And Benjamin Fulford has commented on the Satanic goings-on which are conducted under the radar at Balmoral here (23.02.09). Fulford is talking about The Illuminati's Committee of 300 of which Elizabeth Windsor is the Chairman.
On Sunday 1st February 2009, it was interesting to see Adolfo Nicolás Pachón, the current Jesuit Superior General, confronted on camera with a copy of the Jesuit Blood Oath. He denied ever having seen it before, despite having taken the secret oath himself and having officiated at the black rite countless times previously in his own career. He was on a visit to the Church of the Blessed Sacrament in Hollywood, Los Angeles, USA. Members of We Are Change Los Angeles challenged the Black Pope about the Jesuit Blood Oath document. Their YouTube video of the encounter can be found here (10 mins).
Elizabeth Windsor, as the English Monarch, is officially the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. This is a spectacular blind. In the Roman Catholic and Jesuit worldview, the English Reformation Church is an heretical construct. To have a sworn Jesuit in charge of the Church of England for the purposes of covert subversion is very Illuminati and very Jesuitical.
The Illuminati modus operandi has always been to say one thing in public and to prosecute the exact opposite in private.Ignatius Loyola, the founder and first Superior General of the Jesuits, in the Thirteenth Rule (365) in his Spiritual Exercises says: "To be right in everything, we ought always to hold that the white which I see, is black, if the Hierarchical Church so decides it …."
In the early 1990s, for genuine spiritual reasons connected with the influence of one of her (Anglican) chaplains, Elizabeth Windsor began to have qualms of conscience about her Jesuit connection. Foolishly, she confided her concerns to her mother. Shortly afterwards, on the orders of Peter Hans Kolvenbach, she was terminated and cloned. The details of this unremarked regicide may shortly emerge. More about the use of human clones in élite political management can be found here. And there is more about the English House of Windsor Nazi continuum bloodline here.
Another example of Kolvenbach's clandestine machinations came to light more recently in connection with the Japanese Tsunami on Friday 11th March 2011, and the subsequent false flag attack on the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. Kolvenbach, Jay Rockefeller and Binyamin Netanyahu are reported to have been centrally involved in the organisation of this terrorist operation. A telephone intercept of Kolvenbach discussing the atrocity, and laughing and boasting about it, has been circulating among intelligence agencies worldwide for over a year.
The March 2011 Japanese Tsunami was not a natural event. It was caused by micronukes being drilled into the seabed at a geologically significant point and then being exploded in coordination. The deep sea drilling vessel used was the Chikyu Maru. Fourteen of the fifteen Japanese technicians involved on the vessel have since been assassinated. At the time, they were told by the contractors that they were involved in conducting an earthquake survey.
The subsequent meltdown of nuclear reactors at Fukushima was not caused by the tsunami. It was caused by independent sabotage designed to raise the local radioactive pollution to decoy level in order to mask the radioactivity generated by the seabed nuke explosions. In an attempt to increase the local radioactivity since, rogue faction US & Japanese military planes have been seen dumping radioactive Caesium waste over the Fukushima mountains. More here (09.04.12) and here (13.02.12).
The Illuminati's covert control matrix, now visibly crumbling, is not about power; it is about money. Money is all that matters. Without money there is no executive power. Money. Money. Money. The matrix is also about manipulating perceptions of what money actually is. And this is how the corrupt, Satanic, G5 house of cards is about to be brought down.
In the rest of the world, reliable money is no longer seen as debt. It is no longer seen as QE fiat paper such as the Euro, the US Dollar or the Pound. Reliable money is seen, once more, to be precious metals.
Increasingly, members of the 150-nation Monaco Colloquium Group, including the BRICS, are demanding payment in physical gold for their oil, goods and services. They are no longer accepting the G5's fraudulent IOU's for gold; they are demanding deliverable and delivered physical gold. Clinton-era gold-covered tungsten bars will not do.
This is why Dark Pool Gold in Asia and elsewhere is so important. And this is why the G5 NATO war machine had to smash Libya from the inside. Muammar Gaddafi was beginning to demand payment in gold for Libyan oil and, with several other African countries, he was on the point of introducing a gold-backed Dinar for all future trading with everyone, including the West.
It is because the imminent Monaco Accords international currency reset will introduce new precious metals-backed currencies that the Pentagram Five banks, such as JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, are doing everything they possibly can to rig the international gold and silver markets and keep the prices of gold and silver artificially low.
The G5 banksters face conquest by erosion. Day by day, and week by week, it is getting harder and harder for them to pay for anything bought from outside the G5 banking cartel with anything other than delivered gold or silver. The rest of the world sees Euros, Dollars and Pounds as yesterday's rip-offs.
But there is a much older and more esoteric perspective on the collapse of the Pentagram Five's QE fiat casino: The Earth is an abundant planet. Without money we'd all be rich. Money is the mechanism which makes us poor.

JP Morgan Blue Book – The Secret Book of Redemption (1934 edition)
Picture: JPMorgan Bank Blue Book. The Secret Book of Redemption 1934.

Picture: JPMorgan Bank Blue Book. The Secret Book of Redemption 1934.
Deep inside the Pandora's Suitcase disclosures are thought to be the various texts of the JPMorgan Bank Blue Book (The Secret Book of Redemption 1934, and its subsequent editions). Some images of the 1934 edition of this book are pictured above.
The top of the first recto page reads as follows: "The Department of Finance, Acting on the Instructions of the SUMMARY REGULATIONS. By Authority of an Act of the JP MORGAN BANK AND COMPANY. Legislature approved by the Secretary of the Treasury."
The JPMorgan Blue Book is said to be the covert world authority text which establishes the human bloodlines to which the entire wealth of the planet ultimately belongs. Some of these self-appointed bloodlines are of "royal" origin; many are not.
Family names which feature prominently in the text are understood to include: Rothschild (Bauer or Bower), Bruce, Cavendish (Kennedy), De Medici, Hanover, Hapsburg (Habsburg), Krupp, Plantagenet, Rockefeller, Romanov, Sinclair (St Clair), Warburg (del Banco) and Windsor (Saxe-Coburg-Gotha).
These élite and exclusive reptilian bloodlines (the "Illuminati" dynasties) have run the hidden finances and slave-systems of the planet for many millennia, way back into what their mainstream controlled historians call "pre-history." Notice the absence of Asian names on the list.
Very little is available (yet) on searchable open-access websites about the JPMorgan Blue Book. The pictures of the 1934 edition above were released by Neil Keenan in an email to Drake Bailey on Saturday 18th August 2012 (text here).
In that email, Keenan notes: "Blue Book established the blood lines. Queen E and Bill C are in it…Most of the Royal Families are in it. They have kept the money amongst the families from the very beginning."
For chronological reasons, the particular 1934 edition of the JPMorgan Blue Book, which Neil Keenan provides images of, cannot explicitly name Queen Elizabeth II of England (Elizabeth Windsor) or US President Bill Clinton. In 1934, Elizabeth Windsor was only eight years old, and the 1936 Edward Windsor / Wallis Simpson abdication crisis had not yet occurred. So, at that stage, Elizabeth Windsor's route to the English throne was far from clear, although her German (Nazi) bloodline was well-established through the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha lineage. And in 1934, Bill Clinton was not born. It must be supposed that both these individuals feature in more recent editions of the JPMorgan Blue Book.
People sometimes ask who Neil Keenan is. Keenan is a 61-year-old American White Hat and patriot working with the Monaco Colloquium group of 150 nations (including the BRICS and the Non Aligned Movement), the Asian Dragon Family, the Swiss Financial Authorities and the estate of President Sukarno of Indonesia. He is assisting them to remove the private Western G5 banking cartel and to change the global financial system from its current, Illuminati-driven, debt-based fiat paper carousel to a more benign, gold-backed currency system which gives fair play to all persons and nations regardless of bloodline.
Neil Francis Keenan was born in Rhode Island, USA, on the 10th September 1951, and is the bearer of Ireland passport No 4066301. An indication of his cabal-perceived importance and effectiveness came at the end of August 2012. An Italian wet team working for the former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi tried to assassinate Neil Keenan at his home in Bulgaria. Among other things, a virus bioweapon was deployed. Keenan and his family survived, but they were hospitalised for several days with a lung infection.
The JP Morgan Bank Blue Book also calls itself "The Secret Book of Redemption." The word "redemption" here has several layers of meaning, some of which are occult. But in the trade vernacular of banking and business, redemption means the repayment of a debt, the purchasing back of something which has been previously sold (or lost), the recovery of something pawned or mortgaged, or the payment of an obligation – as in a sovereign government's payment of the value of its bonds. In 1934, a series of bonds was issued by the JP Morgan Bank. In recent decades, the claimed method of redemption of these bonds has been obfuscated.
The JPMorgan Bank Blue Book is called The Secret Book of Redemption because it details the hidden machinations whereby global debt management can be manipulated to benefit the élite banking bloodlines and disadvantage the goyim (the sheeple).

NSA Video: Vatican, the Nazi continuum, the Knights of Malta, the fall of Rome.Picture: High Mass. Pope. Addressing the parasite called Rome.
On Monday 3rd September 2012, it was reported from Japan (here) that Alexander Romanov (aka Slasha Zaric) and his Gnostic Illuminati powergroup are insistent in their view that a rogue, alien, artificial intelligence is running Rome (Italy).
This rogue AI is said to control and direct the P2 masonic lodge, the Mafia, the Vatican, the Vatican Bank, the Jesuits and Opus Dei. Romanov's group says that the only way to destroy the alien AI parasite is to "eliminate the city of Rome and its surrounding hills."
Alexander Romanov does not appear to be a flaky nut job. He and his group are understood to be serious global players involved in the international drugs trade, the smuggling of stolen nuclear warheads and the kind of covert power plays which occupy much of the time and the resources of the world's intelligence organisations.
At the time of writing, Romanov is reported to be held in protective custody by the Japanese police.
The "seven hills of Rome" lie immediately to the East of the River Tiber. They include the Palatine (Imperial Palace complex), the Quirinal (Temple of Mars; Baths of Constantine), the Capitoline (Temple of Jupiter; site of Tiburtine Sibyl prophesy to Augustus), the Esquiline (Temple of Minerva Medica; Baths of Trajan), the Aventine (Aeneid Cacus myth), the Caelian (five major churches), and the Viminal (Viminal Palace – modern – current Italian Ministry of Interior).
One reason why Romanov's Gnostic Illuminati powergroup argues that the only way to eradicate the alien AI control complex on Earth is to "eliminate the city of Rome and its surrounding hills" is probably because they have evidence that beneath these ancient "sacred" hills there are ancient underground bases with ancient, off-planet, but still functioning, control technologies.
It is difficult to quantify the extraterrestrial presence on Earth, although it seems to have long antedated human arrival and evolution. The best figures we have seen suggest that since the 1980s there have been a minimum of twelve million extraterrestrial space vehicles in, or close to, the Earth's atmosphere at any one time. Some of these craft are miles long, with the biggest being a cigar-shaped mothership said to be 4.2 times the mass of Earth. Vehicles of this size, when visiting, are usually stationed outside the asteroid belt to minimise energetic turbulence around the inner planets.
What all this means is that wherever you are on the surface of Planet Earth, when you look up into the sky, there are at least seventy to one hundred active ET UFOs overhead – either cloaked or in closely adjacent, but physically non-visible, dimensions or realities.
Since the late 1990s, all these ET UFOs have been benevolent. Some of the ET craft have been in place, here, since before the Earth itself arrived from the Sirius water planet system ("Spaceship Earth"). Many of the UFOs are themselves alive; they are sentient, self-contained, self-renewing and self-repairing vehicles. Some have huge forests, oceans, mountain ranges and cities inside. Some of the spheroidal craft have these things on the outside as well. If we know about them, we tend to think of them as "planets".
It should be noted that some UFOs sighted on Earth are of human origin and many of these are certainly not benevolent. They are secret, stealth war machines – including the triangular surveillance command-and-control weapons-platforms – managed by the G5 Western cabal's military-industrial complex. An example of this type of plausibly deniable human "UFO" is the Aurora antigravity USAF TR-3B vehicle. Other pictures here,here and here. More background here, here and here.
The large cigar-shaped ET motherships have sometimes been photographed. For example, one can be seen in this Hubble telescope infrared image here, and this second image here shows some French newspaper reportage of three such craft parked on one of the rings of Saturn. This French report was based on the (suppressed) Hubble data.With regard to the number of active ET bases currently on, or in the Earth, the best estimate is about four hundred thousand (source: downpage here).During the summer after the 911 False Flag attacks on New York City and Washington DC, the pictographic nature of agriglyphs began to change. Agriglyphs are sometimes called crop glyphs or crop circles.
On Thursday 15th August 2002, at Crabwood Farm, Hampshire, UK, the glyph pictured below was manifested overnight. It was too large, too complex and produced too fast to be of human provenance.
Picture: Alien face crop glyph. Crabwood Farm, Hampshire, UK. August 2002.
Other photographs of this agriglyph can be found here and here. And Martin Keitel's artistic reconstruction of the image is here.
An emerging thought following the Romanov group's comments cited above is that this ET-sourced pictograph may have a secondary subtext which refers to Rome and to organised religious deception involving an evil artificial intelligence.
At first sight, the image depicts an alien face holding up a computer disc in its left hand. On the disc, a decipherable 8-bit binary ASCII code says: "Beware the bearers of false gifts and their broken promises. Much pain but still time. Believe. There is good out there. We oppose deception. Conduit closing. Bell sound."
The contemporary analyses of the image are legion, among which the three here, here and here are, perhaps, worth noticing in particular.
Looking at the agriglyph, many sense a strong negativity implied in the physiognomy of the face. This is not the depiction of a positive influence. We are confronted by a shadowy enemy. The large circle, as well as (obviously) representing a computer disc, is also reminiscent of the priest's theatrical display of the elevated host at the Mass. And the ringing of the Sanctus bell at the elevation is signalled in the ASCII code.
Consider the following run of images in this context:
Picture: Addressing the parasite called Rome. High Mass.
Picture: High Mass. Elevation of the host. Priest.
Picture: High Mass. Elevation of the host. Pope.
Picture: High Mass. Elevation of the host. Priest.
In a regular, public Mass the elevated host is usually displayed in the priest's right hand (dextral). In a private, after hours, Black Mass, in a "Christian" church such as the Basilica of St John Lateran (Rome) or Chiesa del Gesù (Rome), the host is often elevated with the left hand (sinistral). And often the "host" in this latter case is not a wafer, but a fresh body part from the sacrificial victim.
So an expanded, secondary reading of the Crabwood crop glyph might be a warning relating to the left hand path elevation of Church evil posing as theatrical good will: "Beware the priestly bearers of false gifts and their broken promises. Much pain but still time. Believe. There is good out there. We oppose the sinistral deceptions of organised religion."
On Tuesday 18th September 2012, the English Language spokesman for The White Dragon Society, writing from Japan, stated: "There is a growing consensus in both Asian and Western intelligence sources that Rome is the location of a rogue ancient artificial intelligence that can only be terminated by deleting Rome. The White Dragon Society is opposed to destroying such a historically valuable city and hopes to prevent such a drastic move." (Source: fifteenth paragraph down page here.)
On Monday 24th September 2012, the same writer in Japan noted (here) that a high level Italian aristocratic source had reported that there were signs of serious strife and change at the Vatican in Rome. Josef Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) was claiming that he was helpless in trying to stop the deadly factional turf wars raging at the top of the Catholic power pyramid between Opus Dei and the Jesuits. The Pope had survived several attempts to poison him and was reduced to sneaking out of the Vatican in disguise in order to find out what was really going on in the end-time Church powerplays.
The same Italian source also claims that the Jesuits have their own laboratories, satellites and observatories in New Mexico (USA) where they believe they can communicate with "aliens". Several senior Freemason P2 lodge members have also long claimed that they and their bloodline ancestors have been in contact with "aliens" for thousands of years. They have referred to these "aliens" as "angels", "demons" or "genies" etc. The P2 Freemasons claim that many of these "aliens" originate from a black sun or black hole which generates new life. It is worth noting that the similarities and differences between Higher Evolution entities thought of as extraterrestrials, aliens, angels, muses and demons can be difficult to determine. More here and here.
Picture: The Ritalin Conspiracy. No love? No parenting skills?
Right across the world, Ritalin is getting a bad press. It is being described as a medical cosh to subdue lively children; a chemical cane to discipline the unruly. But what are the facts? And why are children as young as six said to be addicted to Ritalin?
Known among children by its slang names, Vitamin R or R-ball, the drug Ritalin is methylphenidate, a central nervous system stimulant widely prescribed to treat attention deficit disorder. ADD is also known as "bored to death with school."
Another related condition is called ADHD, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: "bored to death with school and need to go out and play."
Questions are being asked. Does Ritalin help hyperactive and potentially self-injuring children to calm down positively? Or is Ritalin being prescribed to children to give the grown-ups in their lives an easy break?
In making the drug available, are the pharmaceutical firms offering much-needed support to desperate parents sinking under the weight of their care burdens? Or is BigPharma unfairly pressurising parents to abuse their children with Ritalin?
Is the Ritalin phenomenon a philanthropic enterprise writ large? Or are the medics and the major drug companies conspiring against vulnerable children and parents by pushing Ritalin for private and corporate profit?
And what about the effects of this fashionable drug? Does less blood flow to your child's brain if s/he is on Ritalin?
Does your child have a greater chance of dying from a heart stoppage if s/he is on Ritalin?
Does Ritalin make suicide more likely?
Is Ritalin a more powerful drug than cocaine?
What are the facts here? And what are the fantasies? The debate about Ritalin is strangely and strongly polarised. Is this just because children are involved? Or is there a larger hidden agenda within the Ritalin industry itself?
The major players are difficult to identify. The pharmacology of child control seems to be evolving covertly. The Fat Controllers, if they exist, exist invisibly. But involved parents and involved professionals detect the unmistakeable whiff of élite corruption. Who are the angels and who are the demons in this equivocal universe of Ritalin politics?
There is a lot of helpful stuff on the web about Ritalin. Some of the best places are linked from this page here.
Picture: Harvard Law Review 1991 Year Book. Barack Obama's original entry.
The central image above is said to be a photocopy of US President Barack Obama's official entry in the Harvard Law Review 1991 Year Book. The full text reads as follows:
"Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii. The son of an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, he attended Columbia University and worked as a financial journalist and editor for Business International Corporation. He served as project coordinator in Harlem for the New York Public Interest Research Group, and was Executive Director of the Developing Communities Project in Chicago's South Side. His commitment to social and racial issues will be evident in his first book, Journey in Black and White."
Just visible as an under-image, or watermark, beneath the first three lines, and orientated at right angles, the word "BREITBART" is legible, next to a reversed-out capital letter B (enlarged detailhere). This appears to be a Breitbart logo such as the one picturedhere.
Andrew Breitbart was the American researcher, commentator and broadcaster who died suddenly in March 2012, aged 43. He was fit and in good health. In the alternative news community, his death was thought to be highly suspicious. See, for example, here, hereor here.
Breitbart had assembled a lot of advanced new material about Barack Obama's constructed back-histories, not just about his place of birth and parentage, but also some recently discovered Obama college videos which Breitbart was about to release to the web.
The thought was that a wet team working for the Washington DC private corporation must have got to Breitbart and heart-attack-gunned him, in the manner in which they had previously dealt with people such as Kenneth Lay (Enron), Robert Maheu (CMKM Diamonds), David Kelly (British bioweapons inspector in Iraq) and Robin Cook (British Foreign Secretary and opponent of the Iraq War).
If the Obama text in the original Harvard Law Review 1991 Year Book, cited above, is authentic, it will be very difficult for the DC corporation to contain. It records a place of birth outside the USA which disqualifies Obama to be US President, and it has parentage and c.v. details which do not fit his manufactured media and electoral scripts.
Also, there must be scores, or hundreds, of these original Year Books still held in private hands. Anyone in and around Harvard University, its administration or printers in the early nineteen nineties may still have a copy, and hundreds of other copies will be lying in the archives and libraries of universities and law institutions across the world which routinely receive copies of this publication.
If the text is authentic, lawyers acting for the Obama syndicate cannot easily argue that the document is a fake, and run the risk of other identical copies surfacing in non-aligned or BRICS channels beyond their jurisdiction and control.
One thing is becoming clear: well before the US Presidential Election in November 2008, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Democratic National Committee, senior members of Congress, the Supreme Court of the United States and the Pentagon must all have known that either Barack Obama was plainly ineligible, on grounds of birthplace, to run for President, or that important elements within his official curriculum vitae were self-evidently flaky.
Questions must be put. Did these people – the governing élite of America – choose to look the other way? Were they paid to look the other way? Or were they made to look the other way? If either of the latter two questions is answered in the affirmative, the American electorate is entitled to enquire: Who is actually running the United States of America? Who appointed these invisible overlords to executive office? And who are they working for?
Follow-up commentary: (1) There seems to have been an attempt in the American corporate mainstream media to back-edit the contemporary coverage of Barack Obama's election to the Presidency of the Harvard Law School in 1990. An example from the New York Times can be found here (two pages). This "correction" is now dated the 7th February 1990 (see bottom of page) and was made "because of an editing error" the day before.
(2) The New York Times piece was referenced in an anonymous comment downpage here on Thursday 30th August 2012. This post read as follows: "Andrew Breitbart wasn't a birther. The booklet is very real. However, Miriam Goderich, the woman who edited the bio, admitted that the 'born in Kenya' line is the result of a fact checking error on her part and that neither Obama, nor anyone associated with him, made any mention of being born in Kenya. An earlier article in the NY Times about Obama's election to the head of the Law Review states that Obama was born in Hawaii: http://www.nytimes.com/1990/02/06/us/first-black-elected-to-head-harvard-s-law-review.html
Was journalist Fox Butterfield 'in on' the birther coverup 20 years ago? I have my doubts, but I guess it's up to each individual to draw their own conclusions."
(3) The Miriam Goderich involvement, cited above, is of interest. Why should Goderich have put "born in Kenya" in Obama's HLR biography if "neither Obama, nor anyone associated with him, made any mention of (his) being born in Kenya"? How could this Kenyan birthplace datum have arisen from a "fact checking error"? Which fact was Miriam Goderich checking when she wrote "born in Kenya"?

"The Spiritual Hierarchy of the Solar System has concluded that Man has reached that point in his spiritual awakening when a fuller revelation of the closing portion of the Divine Plan for Earth may be revealed to him.
This light is not a new thing. Glimmers have appeared here and there through many at different points in time. Yet broadly speaking, it has not been a known thing either. Or perhaps it has appeared in distorted form. It has not been stressed or particularly emphasized by us until this generation. There are many present, even within the folds of New Age concepts, who will cry that these things must not be spoken of. Yet where will they be when the word is needed to comfort the hearts of millions, when the sky is darkened with spacecraft, come to lift them to safety?
So we must have our nucleus of messengers with the stamina and the courage to dare to get the message to the people of Earth, that this hour will come, and that when it does, there will be help ready in the skies to care for them! We do not involve ourselves with the dogmas of Earth or crystallizations of the doctrines of Men. If our alerting messages or warnings or any portion thereof seems to be at odds with accepted traditional interpretations of things, then let tradition update its information by returning to direct contact with the Celestial Government of this Solar System!
Souls of Divine Illumination will not be overcome with fear because of a foreknowledge of coming events, but will, rather, be filled with a joyous confidence in the Heavenly Father and take refuge in His shadow until these calamities be passed. This, then, is your refuge from the storm, your shadow from the heat. With these revelations we share with you some of the details involved in the Father's Protective Presence and the means with which it will be manifested in the crisis hour for the children of God. It is well to trust in the general principle that, 'come what may, God will take care of me.' It is even more comforting to be apprised of His method and His Plan for doing so. Many have long walked by faith, believing but not seeing. This faith now finds its fruit within this body of practical revelation as it applies to the physical octave.
In the darkest hour that can come for this planet, when its very existence would be destroyed were it not for the intervention of the Father's Hand, the millions who have dared to trust in Him when they had no other evidence other than their own faith, will be rewarded openly by being lifted into His Ark of Safety. As a hen gathereth her chicks under her wings, this Ark provided will be the great armadas of floating cities that orbit the Earth on their Mission of Mercy!
All of the units of Heaven have laboured together on this great Plan, counselled together and served earnestly to bring to consummation the greatest rescue of souls, of all time. The beloved sons and daughters of God will be hidden under our wings until the planet Earth is once more habitable. Then that which has been 'plucked up' shall be 'planted again,' and the Earth shall bring forth beautiful fruit in the Father's Name, within the cleansed and purified vibrations of a new Heaven and a New Earth. Do not despair that others are not telling the story. The world has not been ready to hear. Many, at least, are close to the facts, though they know it not. But once again, through this means, we who guard your World now tell unto Man that which is before him. Let him choose wisely his response to the Plan.
I am Kuthumi, World Teacher of this Solar System under the auspices of the Great Central Sun Government." More from Kuthumi here.
"We have many, many ships that are going through your atmosphere at all times; and now and then, here and there, we are helping more people to experience sightings of the ships, and some are being taken for trips. There is more of this type of activity, but it is just incidental. We are looking forward to the time when we can land in great numbers. We cannot land as long as too many Earth beings have fear. The condition of your feeling world is our test to tell whether or not we should bring in the ships in large numbers and land, before the serious cataclysmic activities on Earth may come about.
We can test the feeling world of Humankind, and judge exactly the level of its development. At the present time the percentage of your people who have more fear than we would want to cause, is about six percent. Now the question is, how low must that percent register before we could take a chance on landing in large numbers? We feel that if it goes down below three percent, we can land in quite large numbers. We would experiment with it, if the number got down to that point. However, the percentage has not been lowering very much, so we hope there will be an improvement.
There are more people in certain areas who would allow fear, and in this regard, your United States is a little bit lower than some of the other places because of experience and more publicity about UFOs, but you are still not down to three percent.
We have been preventing your Earth from going into a flip on its axis, which would change the positions of your polar regions by displacing your equator. Such a displacement cataclysm would practically wipe out most of the life on Planet Earth; and if we needed to do this, we would just withdraw the help which we have been giving, to hold your World in its orbit. Should it become necessary to withdraw our help, your planet would go into the flip on its axis, which in turn would soon end wars of any kind, and wash and cleanse the whole of Earth and begin its final purification.
If that happened, it would only be a matter of minutes – an hour at the most -during which we can pick up the persons to be saved. There are almost 13,000,000 (thirteen million) Space Ships close to your Earth now. Most are still in the finer dimension, so you do not see them. However, we can shift into another dimension which would be closer to your Third Dimension – close enough so we could pick up all of you beloved, precious ones in your physical bodies, and save those of you who would be proper to populate the Earth in the New Age, when you will have 'Heaven on Earth.'
Work on your feeling world so that you are always at peace. Do not become disturbed. A disturbed climate would be dangerous if suddenly this activity of Earth's flip on the axis took place. Do not let anything in to disturb you. If someone started an atomic war, or earthquakes, hurricanes or any violence of that nature appeared, your inner disturbance and fear would endanger you. Without fear, you are protected by the Light which you have drawn about you, and the greater Light which you continue to draw.
Sad to relate, as the energies are stepped up and frequencies increased, the evil forces are more active. They are in their last throes, as it were, and some of them are getting desperate. They feel that they may not be able to accomplish their mission in controlling others to promote undesirable deeds. Their desperation has caused them to step up evil happenings, and the evil is receiving more publicity."

A team from Governors State University partnered with their counterparts at Prairie State College to explore the possibility of expanding our Dual Degree Program partnership to link the Male Success Initiatives on both campuses to multiply their impact. Our collaborative efforts culminated in the creation of the Dual Degree Program-Male Success Initiative. The DDP-MSI goals are:
Team members conducted research on effective strategies to enhance the success of men of color in college and embraced the work of Dr. Shaun Harper, Executive Director of the Center for the Study of Race and Equity in Education at the University of Pennsylvania and a leader in research and practice in this field. As we began developing a comprehensive DDP-MSI Strategic Plan, we were guided by his "Eight Standards for Black Male Campus Initiatives."
The GSU-PSC Core Team for the DDP-Male Success Initiative represents faculty and student development leaders on both campuses:
We were delighted that Dr. Harper was present at the Dual Degree
Program-Male Success Initiative Summit on October 1st, 2015, in the
Center for the Performing Arts at Governors State University. The event
included a keynote address by Dr. Shaun Harper, a ceremonial signing of
the GSU-PSC MSI Agreement, and an engaging special student panel.
more information about the Male Success Initiative call 708.534.4551, or email email@example.com.
The Male Success Initiative (MSI) is an intergenerational
enrichment program designed to help male students, particular men of color,
create a game plan for their success at GSU and beyond. On April, 12th, 2016 Governors
State University held the Male Success Initiative Symposium to discuss
strategies to assist in the retention and graduation of male students of
color. Drs. Frank Harris III and Luke
Wood, from San Diego State University were invited to GSU's campus to discuss
their premier research on men of color: who they are, the challenges they face
while in college and strategies that university personnel can implement on
their campuses to help them succeed.
Drs. Harris and Wood implored faculty, staff and students to
delve further into the research and take the opportunity to expand on their
learning to assist men of color on college campuses. For those that wish to
continue to develop in this area, an all online certificate training program,
"Teaching Men of Color in the Community College" is being offered through the
Center for Organizational Responsibility and Advancement.
Formed GSU-PSC Core Team for the DDP-Male Success Initiative, representing faculty and student development leaders on both campuses:
Sent a delegation (DDP Transfer Specialist from GSU and an advisor from PSC, led by Dr. Greg Thomas), to the Black, Brown, and College Bound conference to study and report back on men of color initiatives throughout the country.
Conducted research on effective strategies to enhance the success of men of color in college; identified the Center for the Study of Race and Equity in Education at the University of Pennsylvania (Dr. Shaun R. Harper, Executive Director) as the leader in research and practice in this field.
Initiated "Strengths Finder" training for DDP staff to enable them to utilize this positive tool in advising, particularly when advising men of color.
Four Core Team members attended the Penn Summit on Black Male College Student Success, hosted by the Center for the Study of Race and Equity in Education at the University of Pennsylvania.
President Terri Winfree, PSC, hosted the Core Team at a webinar entitled "Aspirations to Achievement: Men of Color and Community Colleges," based upon the CCCSE report of the same name.
Core Team members presented their preliminary plans and received approval from the GSU and community college presidents at the Fall 2014 meeting of the Chicagoland Alliance for Degree Completion.
Two Core Team members attended the White House Summit on Educational Excellence for African Americans, hosted by the Center for the Study of Race and Equity in Education at the University of Pennsylvania.
Core Team began developing a comprehensive DDP-MSI Strategic Plan, guided by "Eight Standards forBlack Male Campus Initiatives" (Harper and Kuykendall, 2012) to achieve our goals by:

Schools for Physically Disabled Children
When a child's health problems cause physical disabilities, his parents might consider placing him in a school for the physically disabled. While traditional school districts do provide as many services as they can for these students, some students might benefit from a more specialized learning experience.
Schools for the physically disabled provide educational and health services for students with physical impairments. A physical disability could include, but is not limited to, visual, auditory, mobility, speaking or manipulation problems.
A 1998 UNICEF study found that most traditional schools lack special facilities and services to provide for the educational and health needs of students with physical disabilities. The study also found that 89 percent of schools claimed that they didn't have admissions criteria for students with disabilities.
According to the Disabled Schools Guide, schools for the physically disabled can provide specialized help for those with more challenging conditions, or those who might also have sensory or cognitive difficulties. In addition, the teachers at a school for the physically disabled have specialized knowledge and can tailor the student's educational experience to his needs. These schools also have other personnel, such as psychologists and medical doctors, who are a part of the student's care.
Schools for the physically disabled are more likely than traditional schools to have the latest technologies and equipment to assist students. Some schools even have residential facilities. Boarding at school can encourage independence and confidence, according to the Disabled Schools Guide.
To attend a school for the physically disabled, students must have a referral from their school district. The referral verifies that the child with physical disabilities can't receive adequate services at his local public school. The Montana School for the Deaf and Blind, for instance, requires documentation of the child's medical and education history. After receiving this information, the schools review the child's file to see if he is eligible for services.
School districts are encouraged to mainstream students with both physical and cognitive disabilities. Mainstreaming allows children with special needs to remain a part of a typical educational environment. Schools make accommodations to allow students to be in traditional classrooms. For instance, a school might install an elevator if it has a student who uses a wheelchair.

Beware of Scare E-Mails From Friends
A former colleague reported to us recently of a scam that was attempted on her. It's a variation of a scam we wrote about in June: A fake, panicked note from a friend who needs money fast. That one involved Facebook accounts and chats. This one is simpler. She received this e-mail (the name of the sender has been changed):
From: Jane Doe [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Friday, October 09, 2009 1:12 PM Subject: URGENT !!
I'm sorry for this odd request because it might get to you too urgent but it's because of the situation of things right now, i'm stuck in London with family right now. I came down here on vacation, i was robbed, worse of it is that bags, cash and cards and my cell phone was stolen at GUN POINT, it's such a crazy experience for me, i need help flying back home, the authorities are not being 100% supportive but the good thing is i still have my passport but don't have enough money to get my flight ticket back home, please i need you to loan me some money, will refund you as soon as i'm back home, i promise.
Thank you
When our colleague went to reply, the destination was not the gmail.com address that she knew was correct for Jane Doe, but firstname.lastname@example.com. The message appears to have had Jane's real address spoofed as the from: address and the Reply-To: address, a separate mail header, set to the operamail.com address.
The idea of this scam is to get the victim into a conversation where they will be asked for money to be wired, probably by Western Union.
Our former colleague reported that other friends of theirs had gotten the same scam, indicating to me that Jane's Gmail account has been compromised. The scammers are sending this to everyone in her address book. This is yet another bad thing that can happen if your mail account gets phished.
The answer for you is to be skeptical and observant of e-mails you receive, and this is tough advice to get. Few people really scrutinize their e-mails in this way. But all you have to protect you is your common sense.

3D Platform Large Format 3D Printer, Sparks Students Imagination
After a week of designing catapults, jewelry, and other small trinkets as part of a 3D software design institute, young Digital NEST students witnessed one of the largest commercial 3D printers in the country easily transform thin ropes of plastic into a fluted vase. Digital NEST, which provides free high-tech and professional skills for people aged 12-24, has filled the summer with digital workshops. Digital NEST is all about getting these youth the skills they need to compete for good-paying jobs locally and globally, said Jacob Martinez, founding executive director. There's a huge opportunity for 3D modeling careers. The open house was hosted by the Applied Motion Products in Watsonville, California. "It is a great opportunity for the students to see a machine that they would not normally have access to", said Don Macleod, chief executive officer, and president of the Applied Motion. "You can see how it sparks their imagination." 3D Platform and Applied Motion Products both advocate for the cultivation of youth's interest in science, technology, engineering, and math, or STEM, pursuits. 3DP believes that 3D printing should have a place in the classroom and will continue to have a significant impact on education. 3DP looks forward to seeing more young talents join the world of additive manufacturing.

The State Worker: Cal Fire's hinky hiring habits
More trouble at Cal Fire.
This time a new report from the State Personnel Board says Cal Fire gave "inconsistent and contradictory information" during a probe into how two academy fire captains who cheated to gain promotions got demoted – and then quickly regained their lost rank.
"Given the lack of documentation and the inconsistent and contradictory information provided by Cal Fire, (investigators) cannot verify that either appointment was based on fitness or merit," the State Personnel Board report says.
Cal Fire says it has demoted the two employees again. It is retraining management. It launched a new watchdog unit on hiring.
"We acknowledge there have been lapses in documentation in our hiring processes," Cal Fire spokeswoman Janet Upton said. "In light of this, we have implemented new policies and procedures and have increased training for our hiring staff."
During a sweeping Cal Fire academy investigation last year, Capts. James Michels and Frank Schonig admitted that they won their jobs as instructors after receiving text-messaged interview questions and answers. The investigation also found that employees drank on duty, misused state time, stored and shared inappropriate photos on state cellphones and, in one instance, used state property to hook up with prostitutes, among other things.
The department demoted Michels and Schonig one rank, but specifically kept them eligible to repromote because of their "honesty" during the investigation. Within weeks, that's exactly what they did. Embarrassed, Cal Fire Director Ken Pimlott withdrew their single-rank demotions from the academy, then demoted both men two ranks. They and their union are fighting the second punishments.
Now Personnel Board investigators say Cal Fire can't explain how hiring managers decided the self-confessed cheaters were better suited for promotions and new jobs than other candidates. One was hired and promoted on the first day of interviews, the report says, while dozens of applicants were still weeks away from their interviews. Cal Fire kept shoddy records on paper instead of using the state's electronic system that flags unqualified applicants, so it's not clear how many candidates were qualified.
Simple counting stymied Cal Fire. For one of the two jobs, the department said it received 103 applications and that 43 people were interviewed. Then it said 105 applied and 47 people were "invited to interview," but it provided limited documentation for just 36. Candidate scoring, a key to hiring impartially, was apparently ignored. For example, an applicant with a score of 27 out of 100 was interviewed while a candidate with a score of 60 was not.
There's history here. In 2009, the state for two years took over Cal Fire's authority to administer civil service exams because of irregularities. Then there's the academy scandal. Last month, a Bee investigation exposed allegations of institutionalized cheating and score padding at the academy.
And now this. What's next?

HYDRO-LIFT T (Temperature)
The Temperature-Compensated Gas Spring
The force required to operate a lid is also affected by the ambient temperature. In cool weather it may not stay open safely despite high force application, while very high temperatures make closing it more difficult; the lid will then barely close.
The HYDRO-LIFT T from Stabilus significantly reduces the temperature influence on the lid function. The additional piston valve ensures that the application will stay open safely and close easily in extremely low temperatures.
The function of the HYDRO-LIFT T is similar to that of the standard HYDRO-LIFT; in addition, the piston valve is equipped with a bimetallic element. If the temperature falls below a limit of +10˚C, the valve closes and the hold function is activated automatically.
This allows designing the extension force much lower; the safe holding force at low temperatures down to -30˚C remains the same.
The overall lower force level spells relief for the articulation joints of the application. This will make the closing operation at higher temperatures much more comfortable.
- Holding function is added depending on the temperature
- Trunks and tailgates

NEW YORK – (Staff report from Official news release) – Grabyo, a technology company backed by Tony Parker, the San Antonio Spurs' all-star point guard, that is venturing into the live sports social video streaming landscape in Europe and now the United States, today announced the launch of Grabyo Cloud Producer. The improved technology is a browser-based production suite for professional-quality live streams. The announcement comes as the European and US-based sports business community convenes in New York for the Leaders sports conference, beginning March 21 at The Times Center in Manhattan.
Tony Parker
"Rights owners and publishers want to reduce their dependency on costly broadcast production platforms, but the reality is they're bound by the limitations of their fixed infrastructure," said Gareth Capon, CEO at Grabyo. "By launching Grabyo Cloud Producer, we're now giving content owners a versatile, digital platform for all their social video editing, distribution and live stream production needs."
The competition for social media streaking in the sports world is increasing by the day as Facebook live and Twitter enter the sports programming industry with daily additions in the pro and collegiate coverage of live events, previously relegated to ESPN3 or collegiate conference networks.
Cloud Producer is a major undertaking for Grabyo and puts it well ahead of the competition, making it easy for rights owners to produce high-end TV-like shows without expensive production teams/hardware. With Grabyo Cloud Producer, content creators can deliver high-end live shows with multiple streams, live feed switching, live mobile video inputs, rich graphics overlays and animations, VOD insertion and instant highlights. The live production environment is also tightly integrated with social platforms, allowing easy insertion of user comments, questions and polls. The launch comes amid growing interest in Facebook Live, Periscope, & YouTube and other livestreaming platforms among rights owners.
Grabyo, backed by San Antonio's Parker and soccer stars Robin van Persie, Cesc Fabregas and Thierry Henry, empowers rights holders and publishers such as the English Premier League, Wimbledon and beIN Sports to be first to market with content, activate vast digital audiences and generate complementary new revenue streams. Furthermore, Grabyo has forged strong partnerships with the world's preeminent media and technology companies, including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Periscope and Snapchat.

Gates replaces top U.S. commander
Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced on Monday that he was replacing the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan with Lt. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who'll now be in charge of expanding the U.S. military mission there.
Gates said he was removing Gen. David McKiernan after only 11 months in command after deciding that "fresh thinking" and "fresh eyes" were needed to implement the expanded counterinsurgency strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan ordered by President Barack Obama.
Story Continued Below
In announcing the change at a Pentagon news conference, Gates would not go into detail about why he had lost confidence in McKiernan. "Nothing went wrong, and there was nothing specific," Gates said.
But for months, Pentagon officials have hinted there was dissatisfaction among some senior civilian and military officials over whether McKiernan, the top ground commander in the 2003 invasion of Iraq, was the right commander to carry out the new strategy now being implemented in Afghanistan.
Gates noted he made the decision after consulting with Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and with Gen. David Petraeus, head of U.S. Central Command, which oversees military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
McChrystal was responsible for the highly successful special operations effort in Iraq and is close to Petraeus, who was the top U.S. commander in Iraq when McChrystal was there.
Gates also announced that Lt. Gen. David Rodriguez, the former commander of the 101st Airborne Division, was being sent to Afghanistan to serve as the day-to-day ground commander under McChrystal.
Gates just returned from Afghanistan, during which he said he had informed McKiernan of the switch.
McKiernan, who is now expected to retire from the Army, would normally have stayed in command for 18 to 24 months.
The president has ordered 21,000 additional U.S. troops to Afghanistan, many of which will be sent to the southern part of the country, where the Taliban insurgency has gained strength over the past year.
Mullen said Monday that the additional forces enable the United States and its allies to hold areas after they have been cleared of Taliban fighters, which they have often not been able to do.
Since returning from Iraq, McChrystal has been head of the Pentagon's Joint Staff for less than a year. In recent weeks, he has been preparing a far-reaching plan to create special military teams that would deploy to Afghanistan on repeat tours in order to build up expertise on specialized counterinsurgency missions.

Week 26 Devotion
This week marks the halfway point in the year and the halfway point in our journey of reading through the Bible in 2017. So if you have made it this far then congratulations you are halfway to your goal.
Now, this week we will continue to read about the steady downward decline of the nation of Israel and Judah. It really is depressing to read how King after king does what is evil in the sight of the Lord. The same nation that once stood before Moses and declared their allegiance to Yahweh, the same people who stood before Joshua and renewed their devotion to Yahweh, the same tribes that once rallied around David to worship the Lord are now eagerly wandering away from God to worship and serve idols in the high places. And their new Kings are leading them into this idolatry.
At this time, even the prophets suffer because of the lack of integrity and honesty in the people. It is truly a sad state of affairs to see just how quickly and how thoroughly the people abandon their God and watch their society fall into wickedness. But we do see a few high points along the way.
We meet the prophet Elijah and we get to see God flex His power a little bit in the battle between Yahweh and the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel. We see God's judgment on the wicked King Ahab and his wife Jezebel. The book ends with Jehoshaphat reigning in Judah and surprisingly he does what is right in the sight of the Lord, but the high places housing idols temples still remain and will come into play later as we read 2 Kings.
We will also be reading the book of Obadiah which is the shortest book in the Old Testament, but it is still a very important book. Through this prophet, God brings accusations against the nation of Edom and He promises to bring judgment down upon them for their sin. But this book also brings up the history of Israel so it causes us to look back in time to the early days before Israel was a nation. This book also looks forward to the time of God's future blessing on Jerusalem and all the nations of the World.
Here is something to Meditate on…
Some battles never seem to end. The battle of the sexes that began in the Garden of Eden is still going on today. The battle between brothers that began with Esau and Jacob, well that one is what we are going to read about in 2 Chronicles 21 and in the book of Obadiah.
Way back before Israel was a nation, even before Jacob was named Israel, there was a conflict between two brothers that are still playing out in Judea. Jacob and Esau were the sons of Isaac and one day Esau came home from hunting in the fields and he was so hungry that he thought he might die. So he made a bargain with his brother Jacob, "my birthright for a bowl of bean soup." I didn't say it was a good bargain, but a deals a deal. Jacob accepted the deal, gave him a bowl of soup and that's how the conflict began.
Some time after this, Jacob deceived their father into blessing him in Esau's place and then Jacob ran away with his brother's birthright and his blessing. Years later these two brothers were able to reconcile, for the most part, but their descendants never forgot what happened between them. Israel was descended from Jacob and Edom was descended from Esau and here in 2 Chronicles 21:8-10 we see that old conflict rise up again.
But there is even more to it. In the book, of Obadiah we see God pronounce judgment upon Edom for the way they treated the people of Israel. The backstory to this book is that when Babylon came and took Israel into captivity, Edom was there to take advantage of God's people. During that time, Edom plunders their cities and abused the people excessively. So this book is about how God plans to bring judgment on Edom for their treatment of God's people.
Now here's the first thing we can meditate on: Israel going into captivity was God's was of judging them for their sin but even in the midst of them getting what they deserved, God still cares about His people. He still loves them and He still vows to protect them from their enemies…amazing.
But the second thing we can meditate on about this book is that even though God plans to bring judgment on Edom and all nations, there is also a day of hope. The fire of God's judgment will come but a Savior will also come and go up to Mt. Zion. God will deal with the evil in the world but He will also establish his Kingdom of Peace to rule over all the nations. So judgment will come but after it will come a time of peace where God's Savior reigns and that's not just the point of the book of Obadiah, that's the point of the whole Bible.
Here is something to Discuss…
The battle between God and the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings 18 is one of the greatest stories in the Bible. It starts out with the reality that the people of Israel have begun to worship idols instead of Yahweh but the whole scene comes together when Elijah the prophet confronts King Ahab for leading God's people into idolatry. Ahab calls Elijah, "the troubler of Israel" because it was Elijah who prayed for the rain to cease and ushered in 3 and half years of drought.
But Elijah responds, "I'm not the one causing trouble in Israel, you are because you have abandoned the commandments of God and have followed the Baals." So it's a challenge. One man serves God while the other serves Baal and the time has come to see whose is the one true God.
But try as they might the prophets of Baal can't get their god to respond to their prayers. They set up an altar and a sacrifice but when they pray for Baal to show himself he does nothing. And Elijah takes advantage of the situation. He starts mocking not only the prophets but also their false god. He tells the prophets, "Maybe Baal is asleep and you just need to shout a little bit louder. Or maybe he is in the bathroom and you just need to wait until he is done…" it's all rather humorous.
But when Elijah's time comes he is all business. He rebuilds the altar, places the sacrifice upon it, has the servants douse the altar with water 3 times and then he comes near to the altar calling out for God to show Himself and let these people know that He is the only God in Israel. And that's exactly what God does.
God consumes the sacrifice, the water, even the alter itself with fire. The prophets of Baal were revealed to be false prophets and Baal was shown to be a false god. When the people saw this they all bowed down and declared, "The Lord, He is God; The Lord, He is God."
Here's what I want you to discuss…God changed the hearts of His people by answering Elijah's prayer and by demonstrating His power. God worked that day to do something that the false prophets couldn't do and He answered His servant's prayers and the result was that the people believed. This is a picture of what happens each time someone believes the gospel.
It is not man's power that brings about salvation but God's power. Salvation is a work of God accomplished by Christ on the cross. And this salvation is applied when God changes a man's heart often in response to the prayers of those who love him. Even here in 1 Kings, we see a picture of the gospel. We see a picture of God's coming salvation not just for Israel but for all who repent and believe in Christ.
Here is something to pray about…
James 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months, it did not rain on the earth. 18 Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit.
Elijah was a man with a nature like ours…let that sink in. Elijah was just a man, but he was a faithful man and he cried out to God and God heard his prayer and gave him what he asked for.
There are needs that each of us has in our minds right now and we need to pray that God would meet those needs. There are people in our lives that we long to see come to saving faith in Christ and we need to pray for them today. There are struggles that we face each day and we need to confess our sins to God, to one another and pray that God would hear our prayer for victory over sin.
Take some time to read over and meditate on James 5:16-18 then slow down and pray to God about the things in your life and on your heart.

AT&T Drops ESPN 3D From U-Verse Service
New York - More bad news came for 3DTV fence-sitters Sunday night when
dropped the nascent ESPN 3D channel from its U-verse channel lineup, citing high cost and low demand.
In a statement explaining the decision, AT&T said: "We're always listening to customers and working to make sure we're delivering the channels they want, while keeping costs down. The price tag for ESPN 3D was too high, especially considering the low demand we've seen from customers. We've decided not to renew our agreement for ESPN 3D. For our customers who subscribe to the U-verse 3D Technology package, it will be automatically removed from their bills and any charges after the channel has been removed will be credited.
"We continue to add new channels and content that our customers want. We offer several 3D titles today in our U-verse movies library, and we'll look to deliver more 3D channels and content, at a reasonable cost, as more of our customers purchase 3DTVs and tell us they want it."
AT&T added ESPN 3D to its lineup last June, asking a $10 extra fee for the 3D sports channel. AT&T continues to offer its U-verse subs 3D video-on-demand movies.

Residents picking through homes destroyed by Australia's worst wildfires in more than two decades yesterday said they feared looters could target their properties.
The fires, which started on Monday, ripped across South Australia state's Eyre Peninsula -- about 400km west of Adelaide, killing nine people. More than 110 people were injured, and as many as 30,000 head of livestock perished in the flames, which were contained on Thursday.
The deadly fires also destroyed about 83,000 hectares of grass and farmland. Early estimates put the damage at more than A$15 million (US$11.4 million).
Shirley Tucknott managed to flee her home in the tiny community of White Flat just moments before the fire engulfed her property, killing 400 sheep and other livestock. Of the 12 homes in White Flat, only three were spared.
Tucknott returned with her children after the fires were contained late on Thursday to sift through the rubble. As the family sorted through their charred possessions, a suspicious car drove onto the property but turned and sped away once the driver noticed people were there, she said.
"I don't have an enemy in the world," Tucknott said yesterday. "But for strangers to come through, trying to grab what they could -- I could murder the buggers."
Tucknott planned to sleep in a trailer on her property to deter thieves.

While looking forward to a prosperous 2010, the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday also looked back on 2009 and recognized the many businesses, groups and individuals who helped make the past year a success.
Hundreds of Chamber members gathered at the Inn at Church Landing for the annual luncheon and membership meeting, which included the re-election of the current slate of officers and the presentation of several awards for service to the chamber and the greater Laconia-Franklin community.
Sandy Marshall, who is the new head of the Chamber's Board of Directors, said last year the organization introduced a new event to its calendar, Cool Bikes and Hot Wings, launched the Lakes Region Traveler, a monthly electronic newsletter that goes out to persons who are interested in visiting the Lakes Region, and also launched an interactive online brochure, hosted a meeting of the Executive Council; and moved the Chamber's Franklin office.
This year, Marshall, who is director of volunteer and community services for LRGHealthcare, said the Chamber plans to distribute 75,000 travel/information brochures in the Boston and Montreal areas as well as throughout New Hampshire.
An online auction will replace the Chamber's silent auction at the annual Business Showcase, she continued, and there's a new, full-color quarterly newsletter, "Connect." Also, the chamber is working on a network for young professionals and "Chamber Mail," a direct-mail marketing piece.
Marshall thanked outgoing board members Norm Paquette, Mike Seymour and Jim Adams for their service and welcomed new members Barry Leonard, Christine Harris and David McGreevy.
Earlier during the luncheon, the Chamber presented Golden Trowel awards for renovations and Golden Hammer awards for new construction.
Golden Trowel recipients were Eased Edges for transforming an existing building on Court Street "into a wonderful addition to the entryway into Laconia;" the Naswa Resort for replacing a foundation and upgrading balconies and its waterfront appearance; the Wolfeboro Inn for its interior and exterior renovations; the City of Laconia for improvements to Robbie Mills Field in order to accommodate a collegiate-league baseball team; and Lakes Region Community College for its $2 million investment in the Robert H. Turner building.
Golden Hammer recipients were CVS Pharmacy for its new store in Franklin; TownePlace Suites by Marriott in Gilford; Laconia Middle School; YDC Precision Machine in Franklin and the Gilford Community Church for its new 10,000-square-foot community center.
The Laconia Area Community Land Trust received the chamber's Community Vision Award, which is presented to a group "demonstrating community involvement for the betterment of its residents." In 2009, the LACLT opened Pinecrest Apartments and the Frances Court Manufactured Housing Park, located off Boynton Road in Meredith.
Gunstock Mountain Resort received the chamber's Environmental Award for upgrades to its snowmaking equipment, which is five times more efficient than what it replaced while using less energy.
The J. Bart Conners Award for service to the chamber was presented to John Malm, who is vice president of relationship banking at Meredith Village Savings Bank, while Darcy Peary was named the Chamber's Ambassador of the Year Award.
Marshall said Malm was "someone who values community and is recognized as someone who sets a goal, decides to become part of an organization and then commits 110 percent to meeting the goal." Although Malm doesn't seek the "limelight," he nonetheless stands out in a crowd, Marshal continued, "because of the warm smile and bright personality."
Malm was instrumental in helping the Chamber move into its new headquarters on South Main Street in Laconia, Marshall said, and was also involved in the merger of the Laconia and Franklin chambers.
"John's accomplishments are many and the Lakes Region is lucky to have someone like John who gives back so much," Marshall said.
Chamber Ambassador Elaine Blinn of the Belknap Point Motel said Peary "has been a part of many of our event committees, working almost all of our Business after Hours and showing up for numerous events always with a smile."
Peary, said Blinn, "has become a go-to ambassador for the chamber. No task is too small or too large."
The 91st Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce Awards and Membership Meeting ended with the election of the chamber officers, who, in addition to Marshall, are Mark Edelstein of Lakes Region Community College, first vice chairman; Travis Cole of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, second vice chairman; Penny Raby, of Malone, Dirubbo & Co. P.C., treasurer; and Karmen Gifford, of Lakes Region Community Services, secretary.
Chamber talks of successes, honors those who strived
While looking forward to a prosperous 2010, the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday also looked back on 2009 and recognized the many businesses, groups and individuals who helped make the past year a success.

Ajinkya Rahane joined the bandwagon of Indian players who have attributed Team Director Ravi Shastri's technical inputs for bringing about a turnaround in team's fortunes in the ongoing ODI series after the dismal show in the Test matches in England.
Suresh Raina, Shikhar Dhawan had already paid glowing tributes to the former India all-rounder for his contribution in helping the struggling team; now Rahane is the latest batsman to say how Shastri's tips helped him in converting a good start into a hundred in the last match.
"It hurt the team's chances that I was not converting my starts. Ravi Shastri was very helpful during this phase. He asked me to play the way I was playing and just asked for a little extra focus between 40 and 50.
"He said, "Once you cross 50, your instinct will take over," Rahane said on Thursday.
'It hurt that I was not converting my starts'
"My focus in the third ODI was to focus that bit harder once I crossed 40, at least for those 10 next runs. After that I backed my instincts," he added, crediting the team's newly-appointed Director of Cricket.
"I was batting well in the first two matches (at Cardiff and Nottingham), but got out on 45 and 41. That hurt me a lot, because if you are batting so well in good conditions against this attack, if you get a big score it is good for my confidence and team morale," Rahane said.
Talking about his maiden ODI hundred, scored at Edgbaston, Rahane said, "It was really special. After two 40s in the first two ODIs and the way I got out, I was really hurt. I couldn't sleep after the Cardiff game because of the way I got out stumped. It was a really silly mistake of mine. I was really determined in the third ODI. Once I crossed the next 10 runs after 40, my natural game took over," the soft-spoken Mumbaikar said.
'Once I crossed 50, I backed my natural game'
Rahane said he was confident that a substantial knock was just round the corner.
"I knew deep inside that a big innings was around the corner. When you are batting well, you don't think too much. All I had to think about was how to focus that bit extra between 40 and 50, and how I prepare for that phase before the match. It was just a mind game.
"As I said, Ravi told me the next 10 runs after I reach will be important. When I reached the 40s, my whole aim was to concentrate harder. Once I crossed 50, I backed my natural game," he added.
The advice seemed to have worked because Rahane not only progressed to a high score but also helped a team-mate out.
'I backed my game, and that allowed Shikhar some time to settle in'
His opening partner, Shikhar Dhawan, reeling under a string of low scores, was able to concentrate that much harder on his game while Rahane upped the scoring ante at the other end.
"When we went out to bat, the ball seamed around for the first five-six overs. I told Shikhar, I will remain positive, and if I see a ball I can hit I will go after it. In that over itself, I hit four boundaries, and the momentum switched towards us.
"Then he (Shikhar) asked me to continue playing that way. I backed my game, and that allowed Shikhar some time to settle in. Once he got in, it was a joy to watch him bat from the non-striker's end," said the centurion about their 183-run opening stand.
It gives an added option to skipper Mahendra SIngh Dhoni in the build-up to the 2015 ODI World Cup. Rahane had batted at number four in the Cardiff ODI and is the designated middle-order batsman for some time now.
Change of mindset
But after Rohit Sharma was ruled out of the remainder of the series with a broken finger, he was asked to open and he did so with some joy.
"The captain asked me if I would open and I responded in the positive. I was ready for the challenge. When your captain shows that confidence in you, you also must be prepared mentally to take that challenge on," Rahane said.
"Technique doesn't change. You just have to change your mindset moving up from number four to open the innings. The way you handle the new ball, how you can dominate the new ball is important. When we spoke during that partnership, all we discussed was we need to dominate the bowlers. We can't let them bowl where they want to," he added.
Asked if he will continue to open when Rohit returns to the team eventually, he replied, "I haven't thought of it yet. We always want to play for each other. We want to enjoy each other's performance. A good team is one that plays for each other."

Over the past 2 years, I've slowly been studying advanced mathematical equations and formulas along with Sacred Geometry. The two go hand in hand and Lately, I've been learning musical notes and music theory. It's unbelievable the intricate mathematical formulas that are needed to make perfect harmony. Studying the 12 sided Chord range is mind blowing including the diminishing 7th and the Flattened 5th chords and how music is tied to architecture, to astronomy, to chemistry and science and of course religion. The tempo, the pace, the minors and the majors I'm still learning but this is helping me better understand the human and crate better paintings.
I'm reading 3 books, Quadrivium, Sciencia, and Designa. - they are loaded with increadible factual data that clearly demonstrates that the humans of old are just as smart or smarter today than the average person. I've never liked math, but if you remember the question every kid asks...."When will we ever use math or need history?" Everyday it seem now.

HVAC Air Duct Cleaning
Did you know ducts trap contaminants that can put your family in danger? Through your central air conditioning system, things like pollen, mold, and spores get stuck in the ducts. As they build up, these contaminants begin to clog. As your family breathes in this buildup, it can cause respiratory problems. This buildup also decreases the airflow through the ducts. Your system has to work harder to move polluted air. Our air duct cleaning service will save you money by making your HVAC system more efficient. It will also ensure a healthy indoor environment for you and your family.
Because air ducts guide air through your house from your central air conditioning, you should have them inspected. Truth be told, air ducts attract problems. Because they are out of sight behind walls or above ceilings, air duct cleaning can be easy to ignore. We want you to understand that neglect can lead to long term air quality issues. It is important to perform air duct cleaning to keep your air clean and healthy. There are also things you can look out for. Have you noticed dust deposits on your furniture?

Dryer Vent Cleaning
While air duct cleaning service is attending your ducts, we can also clean your dryer vents. We offer this service as part of your air duct cleaning. Dryer vents are an important and often overlooked maintenance item. If your dryer vent is not clean, it will hinder the dryer's ability to dry clothes. When those vents get dirty enough, you may have to use multiple cycles to dry your clothes. When you use more cycles, you use more energy and force your dryer work harder. When a dryer vent is clogged, it reduces airflow and forces the dryer to work harder. If you continue to use your dryer under these conditions, the internal temperature of the dryer will begin to increase dramatically. You will soon experience thermostat failure. In addition to higher energy consumption, you will greatly reduce the lifespan of your dryer. If your dryer is taking too long to dry your clothes let us know.
Comfort Experts provides air duct cleaning services in Ocala, Dunnellon, Lady Lake, and surrounding cities.

Policy Brief: Small-scale farmer innovation
This policy brief consolidates lessons learned from two sources:
- An in-depth literature review on small-scale farmer (SSF) innovation systems, and
- A two-day expert consultation on the same topic that QUNO hosted in May 2015. (http://quno.org/timeline/2015/5/quno-holds-first-expert-consultation-sma...)
The key message arising from both is that small-scale farmer innovation systems are unique relative to more 'formal' agricultural innovation systems. For this reason, the types of policies that are put in place to encourage innovation in agriculture require a fundamental reconsideration.

The Medical Letter
Call us sentimental, but we're quite proud to help position, redesign and reintroduce the only 100% independent medical publication on the planet.
Throwing the clock back to 1959, a doctor and a businessman understood together that unbiased medical information pertaining to pharmaceuticals and treatments was scarce. Ahead of their time, they guessed that drug companies would start manipulating publications through pressure or by sponsoring research.
Thus, the Medical Letter was born.
The Medical Letter is a non-profit newsletter that – yes – still exists in that old-school, classic printed form. We're slingshotting this small publication into the 21st century by digitizing the paper newsletter and reintroducing them to today's generation of tech-savvy doctors and medical students.
