14785 SR 535 - Land Opportunity
US - Orlando, Americas
€4,621,000 | 1.24 ha
JLL is pleased to present this 4.3-acre land development opportunity in Seal Beach, California (the "Property" or "Site"). The Property is a prime opportunity for residential development, located just steps from Seal Beach and overlooking the San Gabriel River. Just across the River lies the Alamitos Bay Marina and the trendy Long Beach community of Belmont Shores featuring a recently renovated small craft harbor, numerous popular restaurants and shops, and Ballast Point Brewing. Strategically located at the border of Los Angeles and Orange Counties, the Site is an attractive offering for workers commuting to the South Bay as well as to Orange County locales.
Premier Oceanfront Location
Situated in the heart of one of California's top leisure
destinations, the Property is just steps from the Seal Beach
Pier and Alamitos Bay Marina. The Property is highly accessible
via highways and five airports in the Greater Los Angeles and
Orange County metropolitan areas, including the John Wayne
Airport with international services.
Large development site with potential for multifamily
The Site is over 187,000 square feet in size (4.3 acres) and the
City of Seal Beach's General Plan specifically identifies the site
for future residential use. The surrounding neighborhood is
already characterized by existing multi-family detached single
family residential.
Outstanding Orange County Location
Orange County's 3,200,000+ population makes it the third most
populated county in California, the sixth most populous in the
United States, and more populous than 21 U.S. States. And yet
Orange County remains renowned for its luxurious suburban
lifestyle and spectacular coastline. Ideally situated between
Los Angeles and San Diego, Orange County is home to many
of California's most highly desirable communities including
Newport Beach, Irvine, Anaheim, Laguna Beach, Laguna
Niguel, San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point, and Mission Viejo.
Supply Constrained Coastal Residential Market
Orange County's near perfect climate, abundant parks and
beaches, and thriving economy make it one of the most
highly desired residential markets in the United States.
Existing homes and new residential developments are quickly
absorbed and developable land is difficult to obtain. The
Orange County coastal submarket experiences the highest
level of demand and contains the most limited supply.
Vibrant Local Economy
Orange County's wealthy population, great schools, and
business-friendly environment, coupled with strict barriersto-
entry, offer a rich quality of life for both its residents and
business community. Orange County serves as headquarters
to seven Fortune 500 companies, including many notable high
tech firms such as Broadcom, Western Digital, and Ingram
Micro, as well as numerous corporations that reflect the
vibrant Orange County lifestyle. Action sports industry leaders
such as Billabong, Hurley, Oakley, O'Neill, Quiksilver, and
Volcom all call Orange County home.

Jurgen Klopp hopes to recreate special memories in Istanbul when Liverpool face Chelsea in the UEFA Super Cup final.
Besiktas Park will witness the first all-English clash in the competition's history tonight, when the Reds will attempt to secure more continental glory in this Turkish metropolis.
Istanbul will always have a special place in the hearts of Liverpool supporters after the Champions League final in 2005, when Rafael Benitez's side came from three goals down to secure a 3-3 draw with AC Milan before winning on penalties.
"I know about the special importance of Istanbul and what a special place it is for every Liverpool supporter," Klopp said on the eve of the game.
"It was 2005 in Istanbul and no one will ever forget that, which is good.
"But we are different people. Unfortunately, we are not the same, we are now in the team 2019-20 and that is a pretty good one as well.
"Istanbul is always a good place for football. I played here once with (Borussia) Dortmund against Galatasaray, and the atmosphere was brilliant until we calmed it down with the result.
"If I am right there is a big community of Liverpool supporters in Istanbul and Turkey as well, so that will make it special for us and it is everything it should be – apart from the flight which was three-and-a-half hours.
"Both teams are here now, we are both fresh, we both want to play and I hope we can make this a special place for ourselves."
Frank Lampard is determined to secure his first win as Chelsea manager and finally lift the Super Cup.
Just days after his first match in charge ended in a galling 4-0 defeat at Manchester United, the Blues' all-time top scorer will attempt to mastermind victory in Istanbul.
Chelsea secured their place in the Turkey showpiece by winning the Europa League under Maurizio Sarri and successor Lampard, drawing on his playing days, said: "It means a lot to the club. I know first-hand because we lost two!
"We lost to Atletico Madrid in poor circumstances (in 2012) and we were far, far off and gave them the Super Cup.
"We were unfortunate to lose to Bayern Munich (in 2013). When you work hard to get into this game between two champions, it is important that at a club like Chelsea we give everything to win it.
"It does mean something. It means something to us as a club because it is another trophy.
"And for me it would be a really nice start for me personally, but more than that a really good feeling for the players with the season coming up that we can compete with Liverpool."

Rink-Amide Linker on TentaGel® Resins
TentaGel® is functionalized with a modified Rink Amide linker and is ideal for the Fmoc SPPS of peptide amides. Peptide amides are released from the resin by treatment with 95% TFA.
TentaGel® resins are grafted copolymers consisting of a low crosslinked polystyrene matrix on which polyethylene glycol (PEG or POE) is grafted. The PEG spacer is attached to the matrix via an ethyl ether group which increases stability towards acid treatment and minimizes PEG-leaching. As PEG is a "chameleon type" polymer with hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, the graft copolymer shows modified physico chemical properties which are highly dominated by the PEG moiety (and no longer by the polystyrene matrix). These graft copolymers are pressure stable and can be used in batch processes as well as under continuous flow conditions. The PEG spacer is in the range of MW 3000 Da.

For as long as they've been banded about, 3D printers were regarded as the path to a new economy, a method of distributed manufacturing, and a revolution for the current consumer culture. With every revolution, a few people need to get angry and the guys at Defense Distributed are doing their part to make that happen. They're designing a handgun able to be printed on a hobbyist-level 3D printer
This isn't the first time we've seen a 3D printable weapon; this 3D printed AR-15 lower receiver is the only part of an AR-15 that contains the ID markings and serial number. Legally, the AR lower is the gun, and requires a background check to purchase (with the footnote that this varies from state to state and country to country – long story short, the BATFE probably isn't happy about a 3D printed AR lower). The one drawback of a 3D printed AR-15 lower is that every other part of the gun must be purchased elsewhere. This is where Defense Distributed comes in: they propose designing a gun that is 100% printable on a hobbist-level 3D printer such as a RepRap or Makerbot.
Right now, Defense Distributed is looking for funding to produce two gun designs. The first design, WikiWep A will serve as a research build, allowing Defense Distributed to answer a few questions on what can be built with a RepRap. WikiWep B will have moving parts for the firing action and very nearly all the parts will be printable on a RepRap or Makerbot.
In the video Defense Distributed put up for their now cancelled IndieGoGo campaign (available after the break), the guys talk about the distribution of a CAD file of completely 3D printable weapon being a threshold of a new economy where laws and regulations cease to apply. We're not sure we agree with that statement; after all, anyone with some metal forming tools can build an excellent weapon to acquire another weapon, but we're interested in seeing what governments and regulators will make of Defense Distributed's project.

Activist Post
For those unaware what chemtrails are, I will do my best to give you an accurate breakdown of how I found out about them and what I've learned since. I will also include some health remedies that I've come across which may be of some use.
Around October of 2009 I heard that our government was spraying us with chemicals from airplanes. I should have immediately investigated further, but I didn't until many months later.
Why? Many reasons, not least because I was consuming high levels of fluoride and my diet was basically, "eat what comes my way". As this began to change I gained enough sanity to start to notice the chemtrails more and investigate further. I experienced so many synchronicities around this time, typically indicative of change in one's life.
Eventually, what I uncovered baffled and disgusted me. I would like to stress that I do not seek to alarm anyone with the information presented here. Morgellons is downright creepy and exhausting to even think about. I'm really not surprised why I just found out about Morgellons now, despite having researched and filmed chemtrails for over a year. I only seek to encourage much needed-debate and research. Many of you will already be familiar with a lot of this, but if you bear with me it eventually gets more interesting. For the newbies, proceed with caution. This is just a brief overview but there are graphic videos linked in this article. Some of you might not want to be eating when you watch some of these.
If you exhale in the winter you can see your breath because the surrounding air is cold. Planes are closer to space and it's cold up there, so you get these trails coming out of the engines of the planes. However, in the past when the planes would leave contrails (condensation trails), those trails would disappear quickly, within minutes. Now, as a result of government projects around the world many planes are leaving trails which linger, persist, expand and turn into what people then tragically refer to as "clouds."
Tests show gargantuan levels of aluminum, barium, strontium, among other strange ingredients like red blood cells and fungus. This is altering our atmosphere day by day, taking away the sky's deep blue colour, replacing it with an ominous and poisonous, sometimes blindingly fluorescent white haze.
You are being attacked in this "modern" age and that much is certain. Whether you agree that the chemtrails exist or represent this, it is obvious that you are being attacked via your water and food. Personally, I don't think adding air to the list seems far fetched at this point. And that's just for "physical" stuff. I haven't yet reminded you about the bombardment on our minds and souls via school and the soul-sucking mainstream media.
Skeptics would be wise to note that one of the reasons that it's not always just condensation trailing behind the planes is that the spraying often turns off and on. It is very revealing that one can see the planes spray and then stop spraying and then spray again (especially while the plane does not change speed or anything like that). To me that's about as obvious as the demolition of the twin towers and building 7, but I digress.
There are seemingly thousands of other valid points confirming the fact that we're being sprayed. If I wrote this a year ago, I might have included many more of those but the data is out there. The internet abounds with analysis on this subject.
There are many weather-modification programs ravaging this earth. The spraying is happening in at least all of the NATO countries. Even the UN admits that geo-engineering projects are occurring. It's getting coverage in mainstream media now. An NBC-affiliated station called KMIR reported on it.
Zen Gardner succinctly writes, "If this is news to you, see the US Military paper Owning the Weather by 2025. Says it all. Like chemtrails, just the patents for all this technology is a total giveaway."
The denial is very close to being over. This expensive project, in its many various forms, is happening. The ominous programs are supposedly to fight global warming but global warming is a hoax and the chemtrails are making us sicker. Mystery shrouds this branch of knowledge and even for those who've gotten their feet wet the invitation to investigate further is often lost in a gigantic sea of information, wars, protests, chaos, distractions, routine, and an endless bombardment of crisis after crisis.
In a sad and hauntingly effective effort to curtail the truth, we are told that there are simply new types of clouds these days. These new types of clouds just popped up now? Just like this fire tornado and this death ray? Give me a break. This would be laughable if it wasn't disturbing.
As for the meteorologists, they seem to either not care or are ignorant. Them not reporting on this is like a nutritionist or a personal trainer recommending you eat at McDonald's. Meanwhile, television and cute little computer-generated Disney films and other Disney propaganda gets children used to seeing the weather behave in strange ways. Images of chemtrails are being found in many commercials, advertisements, and products just to pacify us. Introduce it to us slowly enough and nobody will notice. Sure, some of it must not be intentional, as there's so many chemtrails it's hard to take a sky shot without them sometimes, but many of them are intentional.
People can barely salvage memory of Osama being a CIA asset or that western powers used to be friendly with Saddam Hussein. One decade Saddam is a friend; the next he's getting hanged medieval-style. Does anybody even remember the West speaking fondly of the Egyptian dictator one week and then not fondly the next? No. Most people have no memory (at our current stage of evolution) and don't care or pay attention. Few remember that the sky didn't always look this freakishly wavy:

Look Up
Many can't even imagine an aerosol project so evil, so they try their best to avoid thinking about it or discussing it with anybody. For many others who are a little less cowardly, all they need to wake up is to look up. I don't know if that's something to be proud of, or if it's a shame that people even have to be told to look up — it's probably both. If you're reading this, go look outside right now. There's a good chance you'll see a plane spraying your sky. I'm not even exaggerating. I used to keep a tally of the days they were spraying until I noticed it was almost every day (even at night). And if you don't see something being sprayed, there's a good chance you'll see lots of bizarre straight lines that we did not used to see in the past.
I eventually took many photos and shot time-lapse videos of the flagrant bio-chemical attack and the associated scalar electromagnetic waves (discussed in more detail later):
Less Sunlight
Discovering the chemtrails proved to reveal a lot more than I originally thought it would. For one thing, it became clear that many people did not care about sunlight. For most people busy resisting the idea that chemtrails even exist, they completely miss out on noticing the fact that our skies have less sunlight. You don't need a study to tell you this.
Whether or not you think the chemicals they're spraying are bad for us, it would really be something else to say that you have no problem with losing your sunlight. Sunlight allows our bodies to produce Vitamin D, after all. Vitamin D deficiency causes a lot of problems. Natural News reports that, "Your risk of developing serious diseases like diabetes and cancer is reduced 50% – 80% through simple, sensible exposure to natural sunlight 2-3 times each week."
If you're going to be talking about throwing microscopic bits of aluminum into our sky to deflect sun rays you better make sure you know the full health implications.
The Anthropogenic Global Warming Hoax
When people finally admit to themselves that this spraying is actually happening there are those that then gravitate towards the assertion that this is an effort to deal with "global warming" / "climate change," and that may indeed be the case with respect to many of these programs.
However, I repeat – human-made global warming is a giant hoax. Look at the geo-engineering section of my website and you'll see lots of data backing up my assertion. Climate Depot is also a good source of info on this.
I don't buy the lies about CO2 being the devil. Studies show plants would love more CO2. I don't want to be a guinea pig. If people are already throwing metals into the air to deal with this, then I'm already a guinea pig. It's quite simple.
This subject deserves as much investigation as possible, and even more courage if one wants to stomach what is uncovered. It's useful to keep in mind that just because you wouldn't harm large masses of populations that doesn't automatically mean that somebody else wouldn't harm large masses of populations. I will expand on the health impacts of these chemtrails later, but for now remember that you're better off knowing about these things. Stick your head in the sand at your own peril.
Here are just four videos that should get a lot of people thinking, with respect to the hoax (especially the first video):
Randall Carlson interview on Reality Sandwich: Climate Change, Part 1 of 4 from Sacred Geometry International on Vimeo.
Why would governments want to lie to us? There are many reasons, some of the most plausible of which mostly revolve around a de-population agenda and satisfying a cult's thirst for ultimate control of the entire planet, its people, their thoughts, the people's genes, the planet's weather, etc., by means of a newly created world government employed by dark forces and obviously not accountable to the people, the 99%.
Speculating on the reasons behind this assault, Zen Gardner writes:
To reduce the population? Alter our genetic make up? Produce a morphed human race only capable of subservient tasks to please a master race immune or protected from these mutative influences on a deliberately morphed planet?
I know, pretty freaky. But all actually plausible.
Definitely plausible. I'll come back to this explanation, but first let's take a look at some basics that illustrate the true colours of these eco-fascists.

Green Slaughter
The UN recently burned and killed children in Uganda and slaughtered farmers in Honduras. This was all done in the name of fighting global warming. They tell us what we are exhaling is killing polar bears while commercials are put out threatening the lives of children who disagree with the idea that humans have caused global warming (with music donated by Radiohead, might I add, and the X-Files woman narrating).
This is a living joke. If the science behind the theory of man-made global warming was sound, there would be no reason for death-threats and sensationalism. Slippery slope?
We Are So Sick Of This
As the months went by I started to notice bubbles in the rain. There were bubbles in puddles that would form in the streets, in my backyard, on the fence, etc. Where the rain would accumulate at the bottom of the drainage pipe at my home, the bubbles would seem to get 10cm high sometimes.
Ottawa |
Gwen Scott, who I refer to later on as well, mentions (in a 2005 documentary) that mortality from respiratory diseases went from being the 8th most leading cause of death in the USA to being the 3rd in a span of 5 years.
What else do we know? Aluminum is in the mix and has bad effects on your health. It is associated with Alzheimer's disease. Is this why now some people as young as 26 years old are getting Alzheimer's disease?
Barium is also a hallmark of this spraying, and tests mentioned in the documentary, "What In The World Are They Spraying?", reveal very high levels of barium, strontium, and aluminum.
Fungus that is sprayed on us also eats the nutrients our body needs to regenerate our immune system.
Often when I would run out to take pictures I would get instant diarrhea. Sometimes, it would hit me like a wave as soon as I opened the door to my backyard. Nowadays I seem to have developed somewhat of an immunity to it, but when I was first documenting this the diarrhea would be so bad I would sometimes go to the washroom 6 times a day.
Halifax |
Another noteworthy symptom is that I find it harder to breathe these days. Others I know are having more difficulty breathing these days as well. I don't think this is imagined for me and it's probably less likely to be an imagined effect for those who weren't even aware the spraying was going on.
Barium's devastating effects happen to include breathing difficulties, increased blood pressure, heart rhythm changes, stomach irritation, muscle weakness, alterations in nerve reflexes, damage to your brain, liver, kidney and heart.
Around this time I would notice that I would often get too hot, take my shirt off, and then I would be almost instantly too cold and would put it back on again. This happened repeatedly and it seemed as though my body was often confused about whether or not it was too hot or cold. As the winter set in this annoying symptom went away. I had heard that the chemtrails are sprayed less in the winter. I don't know if that's true, but as the winter ended, those strange hot/cold symptoms re-appeared.
Many farmers are also noting the decline in their yields. A farmer I know said that last month was the first time she had ever had greenbeans growing in her own garden in October in her entire life. A woman in landscaping even told me she was seeing certain plants flowering in times of the year that they normally wouldn't. Something is definitely throwing the balance of nature off. The video below features many farmers talking about their experiences with this.
I've taken some photos of trees in Halifax which I thought looked weird. I suspect they're somehow affected by the aerosol operations too.
A few months after beginning to research this spraying, I experienced a 5.0 magnitude earthquake in Ottawa which was felt as far away as Boston. I suspected it had been man-made because only a few hours later there was a tornado in southern Ontario. When this technology is used, a common side effect is that it causes other weather anomalies in the area. Strange coloured lights are also a telltale sign of the earthquake-weapon, and there were, in fact, strange lights like this seen in Toronto three days before the quake. The quake itself was also 3 days before the G20 meeting. There was also a loud high-pitched sound and strange lights in the sky in Victoria, B.C., Canada one day before the quake (and B.C. is right next to Alaska which hosts a couple H.A.A.R.P. facilities which can inflict earthquakes…more on that High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program later).
I took this earthquake as my cue to talk to my neighbours more and subsequently found out that they were having digestive problems, the source of which had remained a mystery for them. They had even been going to the doctor to get blood tests to try to figure it out. They had no idea that the chemtrails existed or might have contributed to their suffering. They were very intrigued at the notion that the chemtrails might have been responsible.
It's not a coincidence that genetically modified seeds are made to resist the aluminum they're spraying our skies with. The social engineers seek to cut off all alternatives. They want us to buy all our food from them. They want to manage every aspect of our lives.
Accurately studying the harmful effects of these metals on us is made more troublesome by the fact that they can have synergistic effects. There are many things being sprayed and it's hard to know how they all mix. Sometimes I see a plane spraying a trail immediately behind another plane's trail, almost like they're trying to cook something up.
Healing Tips
Now that's a lot of doom and gloom, and there's more to come, but let's pause for a moment to examine ways to heal yourself from the toxic effects of this cocktail. Of course, do not take this advice if you are already on a pharmaceutical. Consult your doctor first if you are.
Anyway, Gwen Scott, N.D., seems to have a lot of knowledge on this subject and is featured in a fantastic documentary, Aerosol Crimes, which I highly recommend. If you want, fast forward to 0:56:24 and you will see her say what I'm paraphrasing afterwords:
Some of what she says:
- Essential fatty acids help to push aluminum out through your hair, believe it or not. Omega 3-6-9 oils are essential for brain function. Fatty acids also lower blood pressure. Apparently, good sources of essential fatty acids are flax seed oil, evening primrose oil, and krill oil.
- Fluoride causes you to absorb more aluminum that you come into contact with and that aluminum can cross the blood-brain barrier, causing Alzheimer's and short-term memory loss as mentioned earlier. Studies show a 5-15 point reduction in IQ associated with fluoridation. That might be one of the many reasons to stop drinking fluoride.
- When aluminum ions and magnesium ions combine they clot the blood. A good blood thinner is ginger root (capsules) and ginko biloba, although do not take this if you are already taking a blood thinning medication/pharmaceutical.
- For heavy metal removal you can use diatomaceous clay (make sure it is food grade). This all natural and binds itself to heavy metals to allow release through bowels.
- Things that kill the fungus that is being sprayed on us: garlic, chinese mushrooms (particularly in extract form) like reishi, shiitake, and maitake. Caprylic acid and colloidal silver are also effective. Scott recommends colloidal silver nasal spray for sinus infections.
- Barium is carcinogenic and knocks out all the potassium from your body, causing muscle weakness and heart palpitations (potassium supplements could be considered).
- Gwen Scott wears a mask when she goes outside to block out the toxic soup we're all walking in. She finds it dramatically reduces her symptoms.
I tried to confirm if barium was actually "carcinogenic", as many trolls at online message boards were quick to refute that, and I came across this:
The Department of Health and Human Services, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have not classified barium as to its human carcinogenicity.
Barium has not been classified because there are no studies in people and the two available animal studies were inadequate to determine whether or not barium causes cancer.
What I outlined here only scratches the surface. Here is a very informative article that Gwen Scott wrote which expands on ways you can defend yourself from this crap.
Possibly related — recently, on October 9th I witnessed something which I had been meaning to do more research on, but that I had not had a chance to look into yet. I had heard that they were related to the chemtrails. That was these "chemtrail web things". I didn't have my camera with me at the time, but what I saw was like a web, but much thicker than a spider's web. It looked like glossy or shiny silly string with some parts that were slightly blueish. It looked almost melted like in this screenshot on the right, which I took from this person's YouTube video.
As in that video, what I witnessed was also on the tip of the tree branch and also looked as though it could have been thrown on there. The person also said that this stuff would kill the trees it came into contact with and that insects would avoid it.
As I dug deeper I found something that shocked me. Many people were suffering from something called Morgellons. Unfortunately, doctors would turn these people away, telling them they weren't suffering anything and that they were delusional, more or less, and that this disease did not exist.
Really? Tell that to these people:
Two years ago Natural News reported,
The third theory is that Morgellons is an infection of nanotechnology. Several independent studies on Morgellons fibers taken from patients have shown that the fibers consist of both inorganic and unidentifiable materials. One group of fibers was sent to a forensic scientist at the Tulsa Police Crime Lab in Oklahoma for analysis. After analyzing and cross-referencing the morgellons fiber with the FBI`s national database, it was found that it did not match any known fiber within the database. Other studies claim that fibers can withstand temperatures of up to 1400 degrees Fahrenheit.
This "disease" is strange, to say the least. This is where the transhumanism comes in. The President of the Morgellons Research Group, Kandy Griffin writes,
Morgellons is not a disease. It is a process. It is a form of forced/directed evolution of the human genome. It is the fetal stage of transhumanism, and it is upon us.
This stealth project is being carried out with the use of the daily chemtrail operations, which are happening globally. There is no escape. The chemtrail operations are terraforming the earth and everything on it, including you.
Many have died. While the CDC and Kaiser Permanente drag their heels with its so-called study, humans are perishing, suffering "unbelievable" symptoms and are left alone with nowhere to turn.
Countless patients have been improperly diagnosed with "Delusions of Parasitosis."
Just before the "explosion" of Morgellons here in the United States, the CDC sent letters out to physicians across the country stating that they were seeing an increase of patients with DOP. Coincidence? I think not. They were covering their tracks, so to speak.
Last I knew, delusions do not cause oozing skin lesions, flying insects, worms, fungus, molds, plants, colored fibers and fiber bundles, polka-dotted, multi-colored plaques or crystals of different shapes/colors. These are just a few of the symptoms associated with this mutation process, based on one's genetic pre-disposition.
Depending on their size, these things can hurt when they come out and can feel like a small razor blade being pulled out of you.
The description for the next YouTube video mentions:
Is aerosol spraying only about experimenting with weather? What do the self-replicating fibres found in Morgellons patients signify? Why are engineered materials being found in airborne environmental samples?
All this suggests a planetary engineering program that is affecting and targeting all living things. Synthetic biology is science's most exciting new frontier, combining genetics, robotics and nano-technology with artificial intelligence, hybridizing natural forms and engineering tissues beyond our wildest dreams. The technology explosion is skyrocketing, and artificial intelligence will soon surpass our own capabilities.
How will our world be organized then? Will we turn ourselves over to machines? Or will we have become technological hybrids ourselves?
I implore you to watch this in-depth presentation that goes into Morgellons in great detail. If you watch nothing else here, watch the video below titled "From Chemtrails to Pseudo-Life: The Dark Agenda of Synthetic Biology". The woman presenting it, Sofia Smallstorm, is an expert on chemtrails, weather control and synthetic biology.
The video even shows "crystals with embedded hexagons" and "strands that glitter". She calls attention to how some people have hair that glows and skin that strangely shimmers. As mentioned, there are also strange coloured plaques coming out of peoples' bodies. Some of them have fibers coming out of them. She mentions that one of the hexagons found once grew a fiber in 20 seconds while someone was looking at it under a microscope.
Particularly creepy, we apparently are all infected with this, but only some people show outward symptoms and are not able to fight it, typically due to genetic predisposition and a variety of other factors including the strength of one's immune system.
Watch it this fascinating presentation:
Near the end of the presentation (at 0:53:20), Smallstorm says:
You have seen, today, the deposition and active presence of artificial materials in the sky, environment, and in living things. Nano-technology has arrived at our personal doorstep without our permission. It isn't that this will happen in 2045 – it's already here.
Human enhancement is being sold to us as leaping tall buildings in a single bound and having better thought, faster, higher intelligence, perfect health, but all of that is the sales pitch.
Enhancement may in fact be degradation – our being devolved to someone else's specifications. While nano-biotechnology promises, in headlines, to make our world better, it may in fact be busy taking us over so it can tailor us to the plan for the hive.
Already transhumanists are looking forward to the creation of the 'post-human', an 'improved' human that will have no gender, will not reproduce, will be a better performer in the workplace, will not be distracted by love or lust, will be free of disease thanks to these nano-bots keeping it healthy, but all this is part of the fantasy.
In reality, thanks to stressers on our physiology, infertility is soaring, our sexuality is diversifying and the nuclear family is falling apart. Biotech is an exploding frontier. It is clever enough and small enough to enter and change our very cells.
New forms of DNA have been invented. There's GNA, as I told you about, and PNA – a hybrid of protein and DNA – that will add to our double helix a third strand. When nano-biotech has a firm footing in us, it will be easy to upgrade and downgrade anyone and anything in any way. Oliver Curry an evolutionist at the London School of Economics predicted in 2007, 'The human race will one day split into two separate species – an attractive intelligent ruling elite and an underclass of dimwitted, ugly, goblin-like creatures'…
Transhumans will presumably be involved in this process, the process of transformation, the process of renovation – remaking us into what someone considers "improved". We are transhumans now. "Improved" is only what fits certain specifications.
For instance, a specimen that can work 18 hours a day, a specimen that is sterile, that will never have the responsibility of caring for others, a specimen that is even tempered, with a narrow, predictable range of expression – all this is 'enhanced', 'improved'.
Better performance is just that, the ability to produce a better result. It does not mean a specimen with greater skills. It may mean a specimen with narrower skills and the ability to repeat a task.
So while the current ethical debate is about whether or not we should upload computers into our brains and how human we will be when that happens there is something happening on the nano-scale right now. What it is, exactly, is unknown to us as attempts by lay-people to communicate with scientists about Morgellons-type materials are going nowhere. There is a blackout on this subject. Its victims are dismissed as having a psychological problem that is called 'delusional parasitosis'.
The presence of patented creations in our bodies gives rise to intellectual property issues.
We know what has been done to small farmers into whose fields the winds have brought genetically engineered strains. They are sued by the powerful agricultural companies who own the patents. Will the day come when we are subjected to the jurisdiction of corporations whose patented materials we are carrying in our bodies? It doesn't matter how it got there. The fault is your if it is simply in your possession.
This is a forced partnership between us and them. This is how we will be eternally owned by them. This is how they can push our biology from homo sapiens to homo evolutis without our having a say in it. For now, engineered technology in all living things is a secret, but one day we may be charged with unlawful possession of something that has become a part of us that we cannot get rid of.
The nature of biology is to adapt. As more unnatural elements enter our bodies, if we cannot reject them, we will find ways to accommodate them…
We are living, walking laboratories for powerful science in a society of increasing control. We are being altered. The future being spoken of is happening now.
The next video shows more close-ups that seem to show numbers and letters actually written on these specimens and strange hexagons. At 10m:44s into the film the filmmaker asks, "Was this hexagon (a large multiplex array sensor) used in a clandestine experiment on people who were unaware they were part of a clinical antibiotics trial?":
Electromagnetic Waves and HAARP
There is a man discussed in a Voltaire Net article who may have been involved in the creation of Morgellons "or a rare, mutated form of Morgellons disease". The article states that it is alleged that this Israeli scientist named Moshe has connections to the Mossad.
Interestingly enough, the article mentions that at one point he was being chased by the, "LA police department and SWAT team, assisted by the FBI, Secret Service, CIA, U.S. Army and several unidentified federal officials."
What? Knocked out his car with an electromagnetic pulse? Hopefully that didn't cause the same kinds of problems that it recently did in Spain:
…the local police force used some high tech device from the police station that caused most all electronic items within 500 meters of the police station to be knocked out for about one hour. The Police told the locals it was a safety wave. This safety wave effect lasted for about one hour in the early morning times while the Helicopter flew in and about one hour later flew out. The effects were no mobile phones in that 500 meter radius of the police station would work. No cars within that field effect could be made to start their engines. All other cars outside the region were not allowed to enter this safety wave region so it's not known if they can knock out engines that were running at the time of the safety wave event.
All satellite TV and cable TV devices in the safety wave region were knocked out also. We are talking a region festooned with multi story apartment blocks with hundreds if not thousands of normal Spanish going about their normal lives unaware that there was some sort of test of a safety wave device about to be given to them.
There seems to have been other unconfirmed issues suggesting pace makers and other medical devices were effected both within the safety wave region and possibly further than the safety wave field. There seemed to have been a local spike in death rates that day and for several days it was rumoured that the local funeral homes had a spike in burials.
This would be a great time to start talking about the earthquake weapon. You see, not only would there be planes leaving these heavy metals, salts, and strange fibers, etc., but i noticed that the clouds and/or "clouds" would exhibit a strange sand-like wavy effect like in this video.
I've since tried to document as much of this type of thing as possible on video. This next video features a bunch of this shot in time-lapse mode but also included is one of the most intense electrical storms I've ever seen. There was no rainfall and almost no thunder during this storm. Perhaps there are more electrical storms due to aluminum being able to conduct electricity:
I saw this strange halo formation in 2010:
Looking into this I found out the phenomenon is called scalar electromagnetic waves. My research into chemtrails naturally led me to discover HAARP, a "research project" that the US military conducts involving concentrating energy into a beam used to heat the ionosphere. Chemtrails can be used in conjunction with this as a way to bounce energy off of the ionosphere, using it as a mirror of sorts.
Prior to that, Dr. Brooks Agnew was using this technology on a smaller scale to search for oil and gas, a process called earth tomography. This technology would even be able to tell you the quality of the oil found.
I've since discovered that at present, many countries around the world have this technology. Its applications include weather-modification, mind-control, causing earthquakes, detecting oil or underground bunkers, over-the-horizon radar, projecting holograms, beaming sound into your head, giving you diarrhea, targeting specific organs, affecting your mood or giving you insomnia, etc. All this was impressive and chilling, to say the least.
There is information out there which strongly suggests that HAARP or technologies like it are directly responsible for the malicious infliction of an earthquake on Haiti, China (lights 30 min prior to earthquake, 10 min prior), New Zealand, Chile, and Japan's recent mega-disaster as strange rainbow-ish tinges, almost like northern lights, are seen preceding those earthquakes and are generally associated with this negligent tampering. Hurricane Katrina is also a good candidate.
Here's a documentary on the subject, titled Holes In Heaven:
The Dark Side
Unfortunately, the military applications of this technology seem wholeheartedly reckless or sinister or both.
The father of this technology, Nikola Tesla, warned that if you hit the earth with enough energy at a certain point, it will split in two. This shouldn't be surprising, considering martial artists can kill by applying pressure at specific points on the human body, and also considering that the Earth is an organism.
We should be brave regarding the challenges that await us. Yes, a solar flare might cause 200 Fukushima-style meltdowns if we are short-sighted and nothing is done to humor alternative and more sane ways of harvesting nuclear energy – ways which might not kiss the weapon industry's behind – and yes, Morgellons is frightening… but at least we know about this and other threats. It's better than not knowing and at least the Internet is not dead yet.
Let's get back to barium at this point. This video below explains that barium also happens to be an ingredient used in Project Bluebeam, which is a government program that intends to project holographic images of deities descending down to major cities around the world, all of this coinciding with audio being beamed into the heads of the populations in a massive theatrical psy-op. An alien invasion hoax scenario has also been considered. This sounds crazy but watch the video below:
Recent sightings/footage of a "mirage" in China might indicate further experimentation in this field. Yes, you read that correctly – footage. They actually took pictures and video of this "mirage" and it looks like a picture-perfect city floating on water, all highly detailed.
The Bright Side
Interestingly enough, I knew someone who monitored the weather and solar flares intensely. One time he told me and my girlfriend, "In three days there's going to be a massive solar flare so watch out for your dreams to get vivid and crazy", and sure enough, the dreams we both had were intensely vivid.
If the arrangements of planets in our solar system affects our minds, moods, and psychology, then why shouldn't the arrangement of some other "physical" stuff, like a star spitting at us, do the same? Some people like Dieter Broers even go so far as to say:
I am convinced that we are currently in the midst of a process involving the restructuring of our neuronal networks, and that the catalyst of this process is the high solar-geomagnetic activity whose consequences are feared by so many people today. However, all facts and findings add up to the undeniable conclusion that this evolution will for the first time in human history enable us human beings to use the enormous potential of our brains.
He goes on to say:
The events the cosmos has in store for us in 2012 can be compared to the effect of being handed a glass of juice into which someone has slipped some LSD without our knowledge.
Such unanticipated altered states of consciousness have certainly occurred at other junctures in human history. For example, sudden outbreaks of hysteria provoked by hallucinations occurred regularly during the Middle Ages. Those affected were unaware that the bread they were eating contained ergot, whose active ingredient Albert Hofmann used to make LSD many years later. Inasmuch as the hallucinogenic effects of bread containing ergot were unknown at the time, those affected could only conclude that their altered mental state was a serious illness.
I can only speculate as to whether or not the aerosol campaigns and diminishing sunlight represent, at least in part, an effort to suppress this incoming flood of consciousness expanding space-stuff.
Far from simply waiting for the sun to give us a nice trip and insights, Broers uses this understanding for good:
…so-called hopeless patients have been successfully treated using the effects of solar-geomagnetic fields on the mind, perception and consciousness. This megawave therapy, as it is called, consists in the administration of electromagnetic fields that are identical to those found in nature. This therapy has achieved exceptionally high cure rates by virtue of the fact that for the first time the patients understand the cause of their disorder. Hence this therapy is closely bound up with a catalyzed process of consciousness, and does not at all involve a crude mechanistic procedure.
Dieter Broers is definitely not oblivious to the harmful effects of this technology when used in a bad way. Nor is Nick Begich – the expert who has brought so many of the crucial points of caution to light – going to resist mentioning that HAARP could have the ability to cause chemical reactions in the atmosphere and thus replenish ozone, if indeed that is a problem up there:
An application developed by Dr. Bernard Eastlund, the inventor of the original HAARP technology, is the combination HAARP technology with a fusion torch, which can be used for burning low-level radioactive waste and neutralizing that waste while producing energy from it. That's an interesting environmental technology. He thought about the HAARP technology being used for replenishing ozone in the upper atmosphere and for decreasing pollutants by accessing the resident frequencies that would generate and create chemical reactions in the upper atmosphere. Getting rid of air pollution by using this kind of system is an incredible application!
Finally, Daniel Pinchbeck's book, 2012: The Return Of Quetzalcoatl (2006, p.103) touches upon an interesting perspective with respect to all this. Writing about Terrence McKenna, Pinchbeck notes,
He supported 'the siren song of Pythagoras–that the mind is more powerful than any imaginable particle accelerator, more sensitive than any radio receiver or the largest optical telescope, more complete in its grasp of information than any computer: that the human body–its organs, its voice, its power of locomotion, and its imagination–is a more-than-sufficient means for the exploration of any place, time, or energy level in the universe.'
I must admit that I tend to agree with Terrence on this one.

With water pipes or hookahs gaining popularity in the United States and other countries, scientists today described a step toward establishing the health risks of what has been termed "the first new tobacco trend of the 21st century."
In a study that they said provides no support for the popular notion that hookahs are safer than cigarettes, they reported that hookah tobacco and smoke contain lower levels of four toxic metals than cigarette tobacco and smoke. It was part of the 246th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS).
"Any form of smoking is dangerous, and our studies on toxic metals in hookah smoke are taking the first steps toward the necessary animal and human studies that will establish a clearer picture of the relative dangers of hookah and cigarette smoking," said Joseph Caruso, Ph.D., who led the study. "It is very difficult to compare hookah smoking with cigarette smoking because they are done so differently."
He explained that water pipes use specially prepared tobacco, sometimes called shisha -- a moist, gooey concoction that may include molasses, honey and flavoring agents. Burning embers or charcoal heat the shisha, producing smoke that bubbles down through a container of water and into a long hose-like tube with a mouthpiece for inhaling.
Caruso and colleagues, who are with the University of Cincinnati, think that the lower levels of arsenic, lead, cadmium and chromium they detected in hookah smoke are not due to filtering of the smoke through water. That's part of the basis for the popular belief -- disputed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Lung Association and other authorities -- that hookah smoking is safer than cigarettes. Rather, it seems that shisha itself may contain lower levels of those metals, since Caruso's team did not detect excess amounts of those metals in the hookah water.
Other differences in hookah vs. cigarette smoking complicate any interpretation of the health implications of the lower levels of toxic metals in hookah smoke, noted Caruso and graduate student Ryan Saadawi, who presented on the research at the meeting.
Studies have shown, for instance, that a typical hour-long hookah smoking session involves 200 puffs, while an average cigarette is 20 puffs. The World Health Organization estimates that an hour-long hookah session is equivalent to smoking 5-10 packs of cigarettes. However, many people who smoke shisha smoke less frequently than cigarette smokers.
"All of these things make hookah smoking different from cigarette smoking, and it also makes it difficult to compare the two, which is partly the reason why there are so few studies on the topic," said Saadawi.
Caruso and Saadawi studied unsmoked shisha, as well as shisha smoke, with a sensitive instrument called an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer. They also removed the additives from the shisha and found little difference before and after, thus the tobacco is the likely source of the metals, they said. Whether the smoke went through the water in the hookah also didn't affect the metal levels.
The scientists acknowledged funding from the University of Cincinnati. Saadawi has a fellowship from the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission. An abstract of the presentation appears below.

EVH has unveiled the EVH Wolfgang Relic Custom USA, Wolfgang Custom Deluxe USA and 5150III 100S head, cabinet and half stack.
First up is the Relic Custom, a looker of a guitar that reatures a '50s style neck profile, a triple A maple top and a pair of Wolfgang Zebra humbuckers. We're sure that Eddie approved of the thorough going over the relicing team have given it, too.
The Custom Deluxe USA is, essentially, the same guitar but without the beating. Both are available in black, gold and vintage burst gloss finishes.
Finally comes the limited edition EVH 5150 III 100S head and 4x12 cabinet, which is an exact replica of the set up that Eddie himself has been taking on the road of late. The head features three channels, each with a rear panel-accessed resonance control knob, with eight JJ ECC83 preamp tubes, four Wing C 6L6 power tubes and switchable output impedance.
All of which is very impressive and exactly the sort of thing we'd expect EVH himself to be rocking.
For more information visit the official EVH website.
EVH press release
EVH is proud to announce the new Wolfgang Custom Relic USA, Wolfgang Custom Deluxe USA and 5150III 100S Head, Cabinet and Half Stack special run.
EVH presents the Wolfgang Custom Relic U.S.A.—a perfect combination of vintage-style, modern design elements and heavy-relic simulated wear and tear destined to become a "future classic" instrument. In a first for a Wolfgang guitar model, its mahogany set neck is crafted with a vintage style '50s-era neck profile that imparts a classically comfortable playing feel. The neck also features a hand-oiled heavy-relic finish that evokes countless battle-hardened hours of play.
The distinctive Wolfgang body has a 1.5"-thick mahogany core with a half-inch-thick arched maple top (AAA maple on Vintage Burst model) and aged black-and-white binding. The compound-radius ebony fingerboard (12"-16") has 22 vintage-style stainless steel frets, elegant mother-of-pearl block inlays and aged white binding. Other features include two direct-mount Wolfgang Zebra humbucking pickups with three way toggle switching, two Bourns 500k low friction volume potentiometers, two Bourns 250k high-friction tone potentiometers, dual graphite neck reinforcement rods, Floyd Rose® R2 locking nut, truss rod adjustment wheel at the butt end of the neck, TonePros® adjustable Tune-o-matic-style bridge and Schaller® fine tuning tailpiece and Schaller chrome string retainer bar on headstock. Available in Black, Gold and Vintage Burst gloss relic finishes.
The EVH Wolfgang Custom Deluxe U.S.A. has the same features as the EVH Wolfgang Relic Custom U.S.A. without the wear and tear and aged black-and-white binding, and with a TonePros adjustable Tune-o-matic-style bridge with stop tailpiece. Available in Black, Gold and Vintage Burst gloss finishes.
The limited edition hand-customized EVH 5150 III 100S head and 4x12 cabinet combination is identical to the setup Eddie Van Halen has recently toured with, and features the exact same custom modifications. The head and cabinet are available individually, or together as a complete half stack.
The 100-watt head features a single input and three channels (clean, crunch, lead), each with versatile controls (volume, gain, presence, low, mid, high). Channel two features increased gain for greater sustain and is re-voiced for improved low-mid frequency definition; channel three also features increased gain and improved range for the "low" control. Further, each channel has a rear-panel resonance control knob that dials in fine-tuned low-end response. The amp boasts eight JJ ECC83 preamp tubes, four Wing C 6L6 power tubes, switchable output impedance (4, 8 and 16 ohms) and adjustable bias control. Other features include vintage-style "chicken head" control knobs, red jewel, dual speaker jacks, effects loop, direct out and molded plastic handle.
The cabinet features rock-solid birch construction, four Celestion® EVH G-12 speakers, EVH casters and recessed metal handles. Head and cabinet come in a special black "Stealth" aesthetic; and a seven-pin, four-button footswitch is included (controls each channel and the effects loop). Optional EVH fitted cover also available.

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Pacers expect Paul George to make a full recovery from his gruesome injury — they're just not planning on having him in the lineup next season.
Eleven days after George sustained a compound fracture in his right leg during a USA Basketball scrimmage, president of basketball operations Larry Bird and coach Frank Vogel spoke for the first time about their star's prognosis. They said team doctors believe George eventually can be his old self on the court.
George underwent surgery and is recovering at his suburban Indianapolis home. Vogel says George is wearing a splint and using crutches. He cannot drive.
Bird says Indiana has asked the league for a roster adjustment, but the NBA has not yet granted the provision known as the "disabled player exception."

Snowden on the run, seeks asylum in Ecuador
MOSCOW (CNN) -- The computer contractor who exposed details of U.S. surveillance programs was on the run late Sunday, seeking asylum in Ecuador with the aid of the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks, the organization and Ecuador's Foreign Ministry announced.
Edward Snowden left Hong Kong after Washington sought his extradition on espionage charges, according to WikiLeaks, which facilitates the publication of classified information.
"He is bound for the Republic of Ecuador via a safe route for the purposes of asylum and is being escorted by diplomats and legal advisers from WikiLeaks," the group said. Ecuador's foreign ministry said it had received a request for asylum from Snowden, and a CNN crew spotted a car with diplomatic plates and an Ecuadorian flag at the Russian capital's international airport.
Ecuador has already given WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange refuge in its embassy in London for a year after he unsuccessfully fought extradition to Sweden in British courts.
In Washington, the response was swift. The Obama administration asked Ecuador, Cuba and Venezuela, not to admit Snowden or to expel him if they do, a senior Obama administration official told CNN on Sunday. It also urged countries through which he might pass not to accept him.
The Justice Department said it was "disappointed" in the decision by Hong Kong authorities to allow Snowden to leave the semi-autonomous Chinese territory, arguing it had followed the proper legal steps to have him held and sent back to the United States. U.S. and Hong Kong officials had "repeated engagements" over the case, and Attorney General Eric Holder discussed the matter with his counterpart in Hong Kong last week, the department said.
"At no point, in all of our discussions through Friday, did the authorities in Hong Kong raise any issues regarding the sufficiency of the U.S.'s provisional arrest request," a statement from the department said. "In light of this, we find their decision to be particularly troubling."
And a source familiar with the matter told CNN that the U.S. government has revoked Snowden's passport.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said it was routine to revoke the passports of people charged with felonies. She would not comment specifically on the status of Snowden's passport but said anyone wanted on a felony charge, "such as Mr. Snowden," should be stopped from "any further international travel, other than is necessary to return him to the United States."
Among those accompanying Snowden is former Spanish judge Baltasar Garzon, now the lawyer for WikiLeaks and Assange, according to a statement from the organization.
"The WikiLeaks legal team and I are interested in preserving Mr. Snowden's rights and protecting him as a person," Garzon said. "What is being done to Mr. Snowden and to Mr. Julian Assange -- for making or facilitating disclosures in the public interest -- is an assault against the people."
Assange sought asylum in June 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning over allegations that he raped one woman and sexually molested another. He has repeatedly said the allegations are politically motivated and that he fears Sweden would transfer him to the United States.
There are no charges pending against Assange in the United States. But a U.S. Army private who military prosecutors say leaked a vast cache of classified documents to WikiLeaks is now being court-martialed on charges of aiding the enemy, and he faces life in prison if convicted.
Snowden has admitted he was the source who leaked classified documents about the NSA's surveillance programs to the British newspaper the Guardian and to The Washington Post. The documents revealed the existence of programs that collect records of domestic telephone calls in the United States and monitor the Internet activity of overseas residents.
NSA chief: Snowden 'betrayed' our trust
Snowden gave up a comfortable life "in order to bring to light what he believed was serious wrongdoing on the part of our political officials," said Glenn Greenwald, the Guardian columnist who co-authored the stories. "And he's now at best going to spend the rest of his life on the run from the most powerful government on Earth."
The disclosures rocked the Obama administration and U.S. intelligence, raising questions about whether the NSA was infringing on American civil liberties. Snowden told the Guardian that he exposed the surveillance programs because they posed a threat to democracy, but administration officials said the programs are vital to preventing terrorist attacks and are overseen by all three branches of government.
"We have not in a single case had a place where a government official engaged in willful effort to circumvent or violate the law. Zero times have we done that," Gen. Keith Alexander, the NSA's director, told ABC's "This Week."
Snowden was a Hawaii-based computer network administrator for Booz Allen Hamilton, an NSA contractor. Alexander said Snowden "betrayed the trust and confidence we had in him" and is "not acting, in my opinion, with noble intent."
"This was an individual with top-secret clearance, whose duty it was to administer these networks," Alexander said. "He betrayed that confidence and stole some of our secrets."
He said the super-secret communications intelligence agency has changed passwords and procedures since Snowden's disclosures -- "But at the end of the day, we have to trust that our people are going to do the right thing."
Greenwald said Snowden has been extremely judicious about what he has revealed.
"I know that he has in his possession thousands of documents which if published would impose crippling damage on the United States' surveillance capabilities and systems around the world. He has never done any of that," Greenwald told CNN. "If his goal were to harm the United States, there were all sorts of things he could have done, from uploading those documents on the Internet to selling them to a foreign intelligence service."
Hong Kong: Extradition request didn't comply with requirements
Snowden left Hong Kong "through a lawful and normal channel," the government of the semi-autonomous Chinese territory said Sunday. The U.S. government announced Friday that it was charging Snowden with espionage and theft of government property and asked Hong Kong to hold him for extradition proceedings.
In a statement Sunday, Justice Department spokeswoman Nanda Chitre said Hong Kong authorities had informed U.S. officials of Snowden's departure.
"We will continue to discuss this matter with Hong Kong and pursue relevant law enforcement cooperation with other countries where Mr. Snowden may be attempting to travel," she said.
Hong Kong said the American request for a provisional arrest warrant "did not fully comply with the legal requirements under Hong Kong law" so it asked for additional information. Because Hong Kong didn't have enough information, "there is no legal basis to restrict Mr. Snowden from leaving Hong Kong," the government said.
But a Justice Department official said Sunday that the United States had met requirements and disputed the assertion from Hong Kong's government.
"They came back to us with a few questions late Friday and we were in the process of answering those questions," the official said. "We believe we were meeting those requirements. As far as the relationship with Hong Kong goes, this raises questions and we will continue to discuss with authorities there."
Hong Kong's lack of intervention came after Snowden told the South China Morning Post that U.S. intelligence agents have been hacking computer networks in Hong Kong and mainland China for years. The territory's government said it has requested "clarification" about that in order "to protect the legal rights of the people of Hong Kong."
Snowden 'told the truth in the name of privacy,' Paul says
President Barack Obama, top legislators and national security officials defend the surveillance programs Snowden detailed as necessary to combat terrorism and argue that some privacy must be sacrificed in a balanced approach. In a chat session moderated by the Guardian last week, Snowden said he went ahead with the leak because Obama worsened "abusive" practices instead of curtailing them as he promised as a candidate.
Obama has been receiving updates on the Snowden case from national security aides, a senior administration official told CNN.
But Snowden's revelations also sparked criticism from U.S. spy chief James Clapper, who told the Senate Intelligence Committee in March that the NSA didn't "wittingly" collect data on millions of Americans. After Snowden's revelations, Clapper told NBC that he answered "in what I thought was the most truthful, or least untruthful manner" to the question from Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon.
Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky told CNN's State of the Union that both Clapper and Snowden will be judged by history.
"Mr. Clapper lied in Congress, in defiance of the law, in the name of security. Mr. Snowden told the truth in the name of privacy," said Paul, the son of former Libertarian-turned-Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul.
Paul said that unlike civil rights protesters who broke the law and submitted to the courts to make a statement, Snowden faces a "disproportionate" penalty. But he added that Snowden's actions may be judged more harshly if he "cozies up" to an oppressive government overseas.
"If he goes to an independent third country like Iceland and if he refuses to talk to any sort of formal government about this, I think there's a chance that he'll be seen as an advocate of privacy," Paul said. "If he cozies up to either the Russian government, the Chinese government, or any of these governments that are perceived still as enemies of ours, I think that that will be a real problem for him in history."

A new report Friday cites news from component suppliers in claiming Apple's next-generation iPad tablet will include front and rear-facing cameras. The report reaffirms rumors that have existed since the summer, shortly after Apple introduced FaceTime alongside the iPhone 4. FaceTime, which is now supported by the iPhone 4 and Apple's most recent iPod touch model, is a video chat service usable only by Apple products. It makes sense, of course, that Apple would want to expand the service to include the iPad, which continues to sell extremely well. Apple reportedly chose a camera supplier for the iPad last month, selecting Largan Precision, which also supplies cameras for the iPhone 4. Apple is expected to begin manufacturing its next iPad, commonly referred to as the "iPad 2," early next year. A launch is expected in March or April.
Front, rear iPad 2 cameras reaffirmed by new report

We are pleased to announce improvements to the Power BI Q&A user experience and the start of the public preview for Power BI Q&A for enterprise gateway connected data sources – starting with support for SQL Server 2016 Analysis Services tabular models. The improved Power BI Q&A experience makes it even easier to ask questions and get answers – and can now be used directly with on premise data.
Public Preview of Power BI Q&A for Enterprise Gateway Connected Data Sources
Using Q&A with on premise data sources has been a top community ask from the very first time we introduced the Q&A feature. To begin the rollout of this capability, Q&A now works with SQL Server 2016 Analysis Services tabular models being access in Power BI via an enterprise gateway. In the coming weeks we'll be adding additional data sources and capabilities to the public preview – and we're looking forward to getting your feedback to help us refine Power BI's Q&A support for enterprise gateway connected data sources.
To use the Q&A experience with your enterprise gateway connected data source, simply enable the "turn on Q&A for this dataset" option in the "Q&A and Cortana" settings for your dataset.
Once enabled, the full Q&A experience becomes available on dashboards using the dataset. As you ask questions in Power BI, Q&A determines the best visual to construct or report sheet to use to answer your question using an index of text and schema values from your dataset. Power BI then fetches live data from your data source via the enterprise gateway. This enables Power BI to provide a seamless experience for asking questions with Q&A, without the need to host data values or the entire dataset in the Power BI service. Additionally, Power BI integration with Cortana can also access these sources.
Power BI's goal is to provide the best experiences for getting insight from any data. Extending our natural language query experience from the cloud directly to your on premise data is another great step to achieving this. We're excited to get your feedback to tune this capability and continue adding additional supported data sources.
Improvements to the Power BI Q&A Experience
Whether your data has been published to Power BI, or is being accessed via the enterprise gateway, we've updated the Power BI Q&A experience to make getting answers a faster and more intuitive process. Q&A now provides improved auto-complete while typing questions, more intuitive visual cues to help you navigate and adjust your question, and more control to deal with complex or ambiguous data. In addition to this, the overall Q&A experience has been updated to have a cleaner look and feel. Here are some examples of the new capabilities.
Here for example, when asking a question containing "SEA" with an airline flight metrics data set I might be referring to origin airports, destinations airports, or even flight routes starting in "SEA". Q&A now does a better job helping you see these various options and getting the specific answer you want.
Further, after asking a question, adjusting my question to compare different answers is also more intuitive. Switching filters or values in a question is a simple as selecting the value and picking from suggested alternatives.
These new experiences also work with the ability to ask for report sheets as part of a question. This provides a great way to quickly filter a report to specific data using Q&A capabilities such as relative date references like "this year".
Finally, in case you missed it in the last Power BI Desktop update, the ability to add synonyms to your model in Power BI desktop is also now available. Adding synonyms lets you include alternate names for tables, columns and measures, that Q&A will use to make it easier to find data when asking questions.
We're excited for you to try out Q&A with all these new improvements. Between enterprise gateway data source support, improved user experiences, and adding synonyms in Power BI Desktop we've made some essential improvements to Q&A – and we're looking forward making it even easier to use natural language to interact with data and find insights.
