Peering Into The Muddy Waters of Disclosure
610 comments - Click for Blog
By starshipconstellation
Here is my first disclosure: I have no indisputable answers to any of the big mysteries, none whatsoever. That’s probably no surprise to anyone who has read my postings here at FSHOD. But I have been an observer, a reader of the attempts of others to seek out the answers to the great mysteries of human existence and I find myself left with far more questions than answers. My original title for this blog was going to be Disclosure, Which Disclosure? Is there only One True Disclosure and what is it exactly?
Is it the disclosure that our governments have lied about all Earthly matters?
Is it the disclosure that there is really life after death?
Is it the disclosure that life as we know is really about to end after all?
Is it the disclosure that what we thought we knew about spirituality and religion was either completely right or completely wrong? And which one?
Is it the disclosure that we were never alone in the galaxy and it suited the aliens to keep their visits mostly secret? Why? Where’s the benefit?
And so on. Without a doubt, many more of these kind of questions can be added to this short list but this will suffice for illustrative purposes. All over the Internet are websites, bookstores and libraries that house tomes that purport to address these issues. And maybe some of them do. The problem I’ve developed over the last few months is that there seems to be the same polarisation that has infected the rest of modern life in the whole notion of Disclosure. Agendas are pushed, knives are drawn against the various messengers, others are lauded. We sometimes call them ‘mystery merchants”, what purpose are they serving? Are they bringing the clarity we humans are going to need if we are to survive not only as a physical species but also as spiritual beings? Why are so many games being played with Disclosure? Why not just come out and say it?
Again, which Disclosure?
We have the senses we use to see, hear and speak about the information our minds process about the world around us. I believe there is much more than what we see with these forms of data reception, and sometimes I wonder how many, myself included limit ourselves to only seeing this way? Is it our personal experiences alone that provide a barometer for how we see Disclosure and the Truth About Anything?
I admit that I have read things that really set off every red alert light that warns me that someone is trying to lie to me and profit from it at my expense. There are people who want me to live in fear and I should buy their book, their video to scare myself even more and prepare for this coming doom that never arrives and Doomsday is rescheduled. There are people who want me believe they have the Big Proof but they keep stringing me along with the infamous bread crumbs. You listen to them on the radio, read their websites and maybe even their books which promise something bigger in the next volume that never quite comes because you have to read the next book. I’m not just picking on Richard Hoagland here, I think some of his core ideas still have merit, but he is not the only guilty party in this muddy pool of water. There are so many others, this blog would go on forever trying to recount them all. I actually feel a certain amount of weariness and disillusionment which much of what I read and for all the things that have been proven to me on some level, there is much that I find dubious.
What worries me is that in sorting through all the alarms, I miss the truth when it is right there in front of me. In all the bickering all over the Internet about alternative versus mainstream thought, all the bickering about the material world versus the spiritual world the most critical information we need is lost in the noise.
I believe we live in a multi-verse and that as such, there is no one Disclosure, but many. It would seem that within reason, there should be room for all these trains of thought. Many fantastic ideas are put out there...why are some given credence and others dismissed summarily? Aren’t they all equally fantastic? As a mild example, why is it okay to believe in ruins on Mars or Jesus or alien visitations but not okay to believe in the paranormal? Is it the burden of proof required? I have found that the scientific method has some catching up to do. Speaking only for myself at the usual risk of ridicule, I have had more proof for life after death than of Martian ruins and I believe the ruins exist.
The world has so many layers. Incredibly ancient and lost civilisations whose stories much of the world is still blind to, life outside our tiny planet, the visitors to that planet, the journey of our souls after we shed our bodies, the chemtrails in the skies, the machinations of unseen hands in our daily lives. I used to scoff at chemtrails until I saw them being done. I used to doubt weather modification until I saw the Katrina radar and witnessed the hurricane go around New Orleans. Or the days I look up in the sky and see the boomerang clouds or the cloud with the big precise square punched in the middle. I didn’t scoff at UFO’s because I ended up seeing them with my own eyes as well, just as I at different times have seen the briefest glimpses of those known to me and of strangers who no longer live the corporeal life.
Are these not disclosures? The fact we were awake enough to see any one of these things at all? I wonder sometimes in our most ardent desire to get The Powers That Be to admit to these things they’ve always known and to sort through the disinformation out there, that we have already been disclosed the Truth...and just missed it. That in the effort to decode it all, we made it harder than it is really supposed to be.
Naturally, I could be wrong. But I can’t help wondering…..

Good blog, Starship, and thanks for the contribution. I'll talk more about that later.
Blogger Factoid:
One thing I noticed...I had the 201st post on the last blog...and Blogger now has a new pagination algorithm that puts 200 comments on a page, then starts a new one. So please be cognizant of that.
Sunking, thanks. This has been on my mind for quite awhile.
Starship,
That is well thought out and well said. The truth is out there...(or within).

Most subjects have too much noise to get disclosure. In the last 6 months I have focused on "legal" disclosure. Questions like:
What is our "legal" status?
What jurisdiction are we subject to?
What "law" are we subject to?
Are we Subjects or Sovereigns?
Those questions might seem a bit boring and irrelevant, but quite the contrary! One needs to find answers to questions that directly impact them and that they can have an impact on. Until you understand The Matrix you are subject to, you can't extricate yourself from it. Learn the nuts and bolts of "legality".
And Gort, you are right. The Ultimate Truth is within. We are living on a "shared" material plane, and we have to know "the rules". Knowing that the Ultimate Truth is the Rosetta Stone to deciphering "the rules" of the material plane.
the fool said:
Most subjects have too much noise to get disclosure.
starshipconstellation replies:
I could not agree more. The examination of legal disclosure is not irrelevant because in the United States, this is a disclosure for which the great majority of citizens are asleep. To comment on why they are asleep is a blog unto itself and many have written about it from various perspectives. Why at this time are so many asleep?
Count me among those who feel the truth is as much within as without. Figuring out the filter for separating the noise from the truth is the main challenge I see for myself.
If there can ever be such a thing as the Ultimate Truth, I imagine that it must be a multi-verse truth just to be able to take in its full scope. Or at least it seems that way to me. Your experience may vary, and that variance may well be just be another part of that truth.
Multiple universes/realities created within ourselves that are shared to a certain extent in a material plane. The disclosure is finding the common key that unlocks the rest and because of the noise, I think it's been right there in plain sight for any of us to pick up.
There is probably some truth in it's each person's world and we are in it. Another take on the shared multi-verse, eh?
Nice blog SSC, I feel what you are saying. Hidden in plain sight. You may be right there.
It does seem as if almost everyone is asleep. I have met a few who are not, and I seem to be meeting these folks more regularly. Being in the arts, that may have something to so with it. Go out on the street, and you will see many whose life revolves around the next big game, NASCAR race or what not. It seems as if they are aware of nothing else. You know the type. They make me nuts.
Disclosure, is within and without. It's not just the ruins, although the pics really drive their reality home. The breadcrumb people, more leeches imo. TPTB, whatever. No need to go into that here. I have found more truth within myself, by learning to wake up. To see and connect the dots. I am getting better at it, but still need work. Humility plays a big part. Hubris cannot. It blinds you. I like what I do for a living, that makes life easier even though I am no millionaire. :)
I am afforded the time to explore the arts as well as connecting the dots. Learning at my own pace. Trying to be open minded and discerning. A composer gave me my first Sitchen book four years ago. That led me to TEM and the Captains Blog and ultimately to here today with you. Understanding on the same level what the latest post is saying. I have come a long way.
Wayne
Taking ones blinders off is a process. I feel that with each new "discovery" of something too mind boggling for the masses, that it now takes me a while to filter it and decide what's wheat and what's chaff.
I think the major difference is that i am willing to entertain the absurd as a possibility as opposed to dismissing it out of hand from the get go.
I am happier knowing there are possibilities to entertain-it makes my world a much more interesting place.
EXCELLENT work Starship!
Thanks for such a well reasoned and thought out contribution.
Becareful...there could be full time "work" in it for you.;)
And for what it worth: I agree, much of its hidden in plain sight---you just have to be willing to be open to all possibilities, not just some.
SSC..Definitely one of the best blogs I've read. Since a few have already mentioned their pet peeves, mine would be free energy. From my pov, free energy cracks the riddle of all the rest. I bet others feel the same way about their point of view.
nice article SSC
thanks !
what do you do when the dots have been connected?
The Fool said something about knowing The Matrix where you are and Wayne made a comment about being in the arts that I thought had a common thread. Where I live, the Matrix is known as the University of Kentucky Wildcats basketball and football teams. Worship and blindness are demanded as well as the millions of dollars that is poured into their gaping maw. The tag line on the billboards for the football team is simply "Believe". Fans are referred to as the "UK faithful".My day job is at the library, but I also work in the arts and see the same things Wayne does. If you want to be quickly thought of as a heretic, simply do what I did without thinking when someone said to me "gonna watch the game tonight?" and I replied, "what game?"
With regard to Mars, I had looked at the MarsAnomalyResearch.com site many times and find that the Hale Crater evidence is the best yet. As good as that is, I have to think that there are even higher resolution images out there that have never been put on the internet. Given the current state of spy sat tech, I can't imagine they didn't send that level of image capture to Mars or anywhere else.
Unipax, what do I do when the dots are connected? Good question...
Thanks everyone for the kind words about my blog. I come from the Henry James School of Writing which pretty much means why use five words when five hundred will do!
Scarletm, I'm not sure the overheated vacuum tubes that power my middle-aged brain have much more in them than what I came up with for this, but thanks for the vote of confidence. :-)

The launch of the JAXA Kizuna WINDS satellite is on hold. Was scheduled for yesterday.
NASA wants to get the shuttle Atlantis down before the spy satellite shoot down attempt.
Good idea!
Jaxa claims they had a misfit fueling intake on the second stage, but maybe they got WIND of the shoot down and decided to wait til the debris clears.

Just can't resist...
Check out Goro's "14 degrees" measurements in relation to the Sphinx/pyramids.
Also the fact that a TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE is imminent. (See my latest blog).
Swear to God, I didn't know about either of these beforehand...
Oh, and that was the 14th comment, by the way... :D
We just watched the fluff piece on the spy satellite shoot-down on the NBC news.

Iranian president to visit Iraq on March 2
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-02/14/content_7605309.htm
BAGHDAD, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will visit Iraq on March 2 to meet top Iraqi leaders, a government spokesman told Xinhua on Thursday.
"I can confirm that March 2 will the date for Iranian President Ahmadinejad to visit Iraq," Ali al-Dabbagh said. "The Iranian president will meet Iraqi leaders, including President Jalal Talabani and Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki," he said.
Ahmadinejad's visit to Iraq is the first ever for an Iranian president to the neighboring traditional foe, particularly after the two countries fought a devastating war between 1980 and 1988,in which about million people died from both sides.

Goro mentions an "EXPLODES" on his report in reference to Holmes. Why is it that all space science is conducted by spy satellites? Is there nothing to be accomplished by ..for the...
????
For my money, there is no satellite that needs to be taken care of. It went on it's way..did it thing and whatever you want to think happened didn't..so what will the witnesses in the North West Pacific see when a ghost satellite is taken out? I'll wager NOT MUCH.

It seems to me that Big Brother is watching, listening, and speaking about how what is happenning is nothing more than a figment of your imagination.. I know for FACT that although I have absolutely NO alqaida or other terroris ties that the DoD is indeed monitoring my system as the DoD using 2 totally private corporations has already taken control of my ROUTER which connects 3 different computers into the internet I cannot be certain that all the data on my systems hasn’t already been stolen.. need proof? here is the trace results that I did when I noticed that an OFF Network IP Address was the address logged into and controlling my Router:
I will mask the corporation names just in case they are unwitting co-conspirators:

The trace reported it was a DoD computerthat was in control of my router.. therefore any who are so positive that the gov’t won’t monitor them, need to wake up and smell the cofee.. I also happen to be a retired military veteran with an impeccable military record J F Y I all

OK, time to tweak the colors on the computer...but that IS a Phoenix like bird on the flag right?
It's a bird. Probably some kind of Eagle.
see Albania
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albania
As early as the 16th century, a new name for their home evolved among Albanian people: Shqipëria, "Land of the Eagles", hence the two-headed bird on the national flag.[8] The name probably has its origins in the Skanderbeg family crest.[citation needed]

One could almost do a blog on the double-headed eagle.
see Double-headed eagle
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-headed_eagle
Use in Masonry
The Double-Headed Eagle of Lagash is used as emblem by the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry[1]. While there are many meanings attached to this symbol, [2] author M. P. Hall who wrote many works on the subject, suggested it an alchemical symbol of the union between the masculine and feminine principles in the individual.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Morals_and_Dogma_eagle.jpg
(16 stars under each wing =32, with the number 33 in the triangle at the top)
see also all the different examples of double-headed eagle at the bottom of the double-headed eagle article.
My personal take: the big talons represent power. The double head could be awareness (seing to the right and to the left at the same time...as in a double exposure picture, or as in "look both ways before crossing") or maybe even a "Janus" thing of looking to the past and to the future. Maybe Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient.
A bird can also represent a thought or thoughts, a higher thought, one's higher self, and a messenger....

Nests - The shape of the eagle nest or aerie is determined mainly by the branch point where it's built. Sticks placed in tree forks result in cylindrical or conical shaped nests. Disk shaped nests are built on the ground or a tree branch which is nearly level. Bowl shaped nests occur where the tree trunk branches off into smaller upright branches.
UN employee found dead at UN headquarters
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-02/18/content_7620357.htm
UNITED NATIONS, Feb. 17 (Xinhua) -- A UN employee was found dead Sunday at the United Nations Headquarters, according to a UN statement.
"A UN agency staff member died after falling from the 19th floor of the UN Secretariat building," the statement said.
New York police and UN security guards are investigating the incident, it said.
"At this time there is no suspicion of foul play," it added. "Pending notification of next of kin, the staff member's identity will not be made available."
Local media reports quoted police as saying the victim was white and 44 years old.

Len Horowitz Warns About
Satellite Shootdown Dangers
Satellite Explosion Could Cause
Chemical And Hydrosonic Toxicity
Dr. Len Horowitz
2-17-8
HILO HI -- Dr. Len Horowitz, an internationally known public health expert and consumer protection activist, will discuss the Bush administration's plan to explode the USA 193 spy satellite by Navy missile attack this week. He warns of likely toxicity to humanity administered chemically and vibrationally.
"The experimental plan to explode USA 193 as it reenters the atmosphere seems tremendously risky to me since we know what to expect from, and how to best manage, terrestrial fuel spills, but not hydrazine space experiments. Since it is unreasonable to conduct such an unprecedented experiment risking the public's health, we must consider the possibility that this is likely a covert operation. One that will clearly alter the toxicity and resonance frequencies of our atmosphere, even resonate throughout space. To me, this is grossly negligent, outrageously risky, and potentially deadly to people everywhere."
Dr. Horowitz assertively argues vaccinations accumulating mercury in people's neurology, especially children's brains, far exceeding the Environmental Protection Agency's toxic dosage limits, have been scientifically linked to skyrocketing rates of autism. He believes the Navy missile experiment may likewise neurologically intoxicate populations worldwide at a time when many people are awakening to untrustworthy military maneuvers. Increasingly, people are awakening to, and becoming concerned about, the global depopulation agenda and the use of military operations and civilian intoxications to effect population reduction.
"At this time we see chemtrails poisoning the air we breathe, and man-made, laboratory created germs producing emerging diseases such as Morgellons," Dr. Horowitz heralds. "At the same time we are witnessing an unprecedented Spiritual Renaissance pitting good against evil in our efforts to awaken civilization to a better way of living and co-existing with nature and each other. This runs contrary to geopolitical controllers and military prostitutes promoting this Navy experiment."
The Navy has always been at the forefront of covert operations, population control, and advancing attacks on civilian populations. Dr. Horowitz detailed these connections in Death in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism & Toxic Warfare," one of sixteen books he has authored since 1978.
Many government watchdogs claim global depopulation, the targeted reduction of the world's population by two-thirds, is secretly and effectively advancing using petrochemical-pharmaceutical toxicity. The controllers of the military-medical-petrochemical-pharmaceutical cartel fear the permacultural revolution featuring free-energy systems, decentralized community banking, and sustainability with the protection of earth's resources versus unbridled consumption. Decision makers in the Bush administration, their financiers and global bankers, care more about profits than people. "They direct the ongoing biocide, global genocide, and war against nature and people," Dr. Horowitz explains.
Chemically poisoning the atmosphere for disease induction and population reduction is in accordance with officially published population control objectives, Dr. Horowitz posits. This agenda was established by an oligarchy of global industrialists who now feel threatened their grip on enslaving systems is being eroded by mass Internet communications and a revolution/evolution of human consciousness. Mechanisms such as fiat currency banking, free energy research restriction, fraudulent taxation, and medical-pharmaceutical cult indoctrination, are increasingly coming under attack. Fearing termination of their restrictive control, population managers are advancing new ways of killing people covertly and most profitably. This spy satellite experiment, said to be the best way to deal with a Central Intelligence Agency disaster, Dr. Horowitz, concludes, is "a wolf in sheep's clothing."
James Oberg, who spent 22 years at NASA's Johnson Space Center as a Mission Control operator and an orbital designer, wrote for MSNBC:
"The force of a missile hitting an orbiting object is much more violent than the force of a bullet striking a target, or even an anti-aircraft missile hitting an airplane. In the space case, the tremendous speed of the impact carries so much kinetic energy that both vehicles literally explode due to the hypersonic shock waves sweeping through their structures.
"If the missile strike leads to such a disintegration, sharp observers should be able to spot the ice fragments from the fuel tank. As the fragments evaporate in direct sunlight, they could create mini-comets visible from Earth's surface, lasting for hours before dispersing."
Dr. Horowitz concludes the hypersonic shock waves noted by Dr. Osberg are expected to radiate throughout earth's atmosphere as well as space, since both are well hydrated according to NASA's determinations eight years ago.
In 2000, scientists working for the government identified frozen water in crystalline and gaseous forms throughout space. Much like a stone thrown at the center of a pond generates circular water waves transmitted to the farthest shores, this hydrosonic space explosion could conceivably resonate hydrazine toxicity throughout earth's atmosphere as well as space.
Dr. Horowitz believes toxicity could be carried hydrosonically much like a homeopathic carries potent resonance frequencies of specific substances through water. People who use homeopathics clearly benefit. But the world's population about to receive hydrosonically-transmitted hydrazine vibrations from the missile hitting the satellite are likely to be energetically and spiritually intoxicated.
Rev. Roxanne Hampton will be interviewing Dr. Horowitz, sound researcher and talk show host Don Nicoloff, and other special guests on Sunday night at 9PM Pacific Time on http://www.BBSRadio.com http://www.BBSRadio.com. The show, produced by Rev. Hampton, is called "Mission Possible." It will be archived for later listening and circulating.

Hey Y'all. We have been speculating for some time that comet Holmes was a military experiment to see the effects of a nuclear blast in outer space. Holmes ended up with enough material spread throughout the immediate vicinity to be 8X the size of the sun and growing.
In some kind of bizarre twist of fate, the delivery system we (sword bloggers) speculated is the same satellite that is about to light up our lives.
Horowitz is not just whistling past the graveyard. I hope someone catches the radio broadcast. This really fits with some of the speculation at Sword's.
Sunking asked me to post this for him:
Gort,
Interesting article re: CIA closing Black stations. I cannot but wonder that there is some connection her with the Sibil Edmonds 'dislosures'...so much easier to shove things under the table when the 'big guy' can say 'there is no operation like that currently in progress'.
Here's a link to the story wih more info, from the LA Times.
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-intel17feb17,0,3935942.story
The UN employee appears to have been a woman. Funny, the article I read from the Gothamist uses the words 'fallen or jumped'...then goes on to mention a factoid that the last suicide at the UN Secretatiat Building was in 1982. Why not the equally likely chance that she was 'thrown' from the building? Definitely, "hmmmmmm".
Interesting link of the double-headed eagle of Lagash. Curious about what Lagash was, Wiki says "Lagash (Akkadian laga¹) or Sirpurla (Sumerian ©IR.BUR.LAKI; modern Tell al-Hiba), northwest of the junction of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers and east of Uruk, was one of the oldest cities of Sumer and later Babylonia. Nearby Girsu (modern Telloh) was the religious center of the Lagash state"
LOL re: the 'neighbor' song.
Re: India and DEFEXPO....next time your poliotical leaders claim they want peace, demand they make the sales of arms and weapons systems illegal, and instead of bombing civilians, bomb munitions and weapons factories!
Ericswan,
Well, re: that Scott fellow, who claims the DoD has taken over his router, was talking about..there are sites you can go to to track an IP address, even one's own. Now what made Scott think to check his own IP address, I don't know. Maybe not a bad idea.
Now, what an OFF Network IP address is, not sure of the either. Kinda like a non-digestive system related stomach, lol. Just doing a quick Google, seems it relates to Oracle-based systems, but am sure it's not limited to that. If Jas were here, perhaps he could explain better than I....I'm a mainframe programmer, not a network weenie. ;)
If you find one of those IP address tracers, plug in the IP addresses Scott gives and maybe you can see the names of the companies that he didn't list.
RE: FDA beef recall---I heard about this over a week ago in my nutrition class b/c they had "temporarily" stopped serving hamburger in the Escambia county schools. They have known about this for a rather long time but its just now hitting the "news Cycle"
What they aren't telling you----this slaughterhouse has repeatedly been putting "downer cows" into the food supply.
Someone finally caught them on video tape--but these animals were not just sick, they were considered "downer cows" as in mad cow downer cows.
FDA says the beef has already been consumed....
JAXA Kizuna/WINDS satellite to launch Feb 23 at the earliest, but no firm date/time yet.
Gort
Another question from the "Our impending doom" file---
So they have decided that Thursday
is the day they are going to shoot this "rouge" satellite out of orbit.
Now fitting in with Goro's timeline, and all the astrology I have been reading--either Atlantis is going to meet a disasterous demise--OR--this missile meets satellite and satellite goes *poof* is going to go terribly wrong.
This eclipse is supposed to be a biggie---major major biggie--all kind of hell is supposed to break loose in the next three days b/c of it, and we are still in merc rx.
None of this bodes well for any of it.(or us)
I have to admit, I'm getting a tad nervous.
Any thoughts here? Eric?

The painting was actually a 'brothers Hildebrandt' piece.

Hey Scarletm.. Have you noticed the jetstream for this week? A North American size U from Alaska and straight down to Texas than back up to Nova Scotia. If you don't think that MIC is making that happen, then you prolly won't think that comet Holmes was a test to see what effects a nuclear explosion would have on bodies in deep space.
They must know exactly what is to be expeced in the human population should hydrazine be thrown into the toxic soup we call the atmosphere. It may only be slightly toxic but easily tested per source as the stuff hasn't been spewing out of smokestacks or car exhausts so they may be "tracking" for some future bio.chemical warfare. Thus my interest in the jetstream.
Sunking asked me to post this for him:
Ericswan,
A couple of questions, please...
How is it you think the MIC would be controlling the jetstream, and on such a grand scale?
I don't recall, but how far away was Holmes when this explosion occurred?
And if it was far away when that occurred, then what delivery system do we think was used and how far in advance would it have had to have been launched?
Are you saying that they would use this event as a means to test a bio/chem warfare weapon, even tho this means testing it on it's own citizens in such a public manner? (i.e.usually they trat us a guinea pigs withOUT our knowledge, eh?)
I'm not clear as to whether the hydrazine tank will be demolished by the SM3 missile or if it's just hoped for that the satellite will land in the ocean. See these two links.

Don't forget the potential for problems with ISS. There was work done on it recently...could there be a problem from that as a result of faulty engineering, repair or outright sabatoge? hmmmmm

US War Leaders Flee America During Most Dangerous Week
By: Sorcha Faal
Russian Military Analysts are reporting today on their growing concerns over some of the United States top war leaders ‘fleeing’ their Nation this week, and which these reports state could very well be the ‘most pivotal week for our [Russias] future’.
President Bush is being reported in the Western media to be on an ‘extended’ tour of African Nations while his Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, is reported to be traveling to Kenya, South Korea and Japan. Vice President Cheney, and as is the custom in the US when their President leaves their Nation, is reported to be in ‘hiding’ as concerns mount over the February 8th Pentagon ‘attack’ on US Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
[To that February 8th attack against the US Defense Secretary, and as these reports state, a dissident Neocon led putsch had targeted him at his Pentagon headquarters, and which Western media reports state was ‘evacuated’ due to smoke and Defense Secretary Gates injuries, fractured right shoulder, were due to his ‘falling on ice’.]
Of the greatest concerns about this week to Russia, according to these reports, is the ‘illegal’, Western backed, breaking away of the Serbian province of Kosovo and the United States planned space weapon test targeting one of their own spy satellites, both of these events occurring ‘under the influence’ and between the ‘esoteric bookends’ of the Annual Solar Eclipse of February 7, 2008 and the Total Lunar Eclipse on February 20/21 which ‘targets’ North America and Western Europe, and which will be the last Total Eclipse of our moon until December 21, 2010.
Russian Scientific Astronomers have long noted how the power elite in the United States ‘schedule’ their most horrific events between adjoining Solar and/or Lunar eclipses, to include: The November 22, 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy (set between the Total Solar Eclipse of July 20, 1963 and Total Lunar Eclipse of December 30, 1963), and the September 11, 2001 attacks upon the United States (set between the Total Solar Eclipse of June 21, 2001 and the Annual Solar Eclipse of December 14, 2001).
Though Russia has warned the US and European Union against creating a “serious precedent” by recognizing Kosovo, these warnings have fallen upon deaf ears as the United Kingdom has rushed its last remaining 1,000 Soldiers to the Balkans and the American President has stated that his Nation will recognize Serbia’s breakaway region.
However, Russian warnings on Kosovo do, indeed, appear to be coming true as the breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia in Western backed Georgia are now calling for their independence along with the Chechen peoples in Russia.
Not being understood by the Western peoples is that a Russian recognition of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, or a Western recognition of Chechnya, as independent Nations would trigger Total War between the East and the West.
In their knowing of this brutal reality, as these reports continue, the United States War Leaders have ‘created’ a false story about one of their spy satellites being out of control and falling to Earth and to be ‘shot down’ by their Naval Forces upon the Space Shuttle Atlantis returning from its mission this week.
Russia has warned that this shoot down by the United States of its spy satellite is, in fact, a ‘veiled’ test of the US’s secretive space weapons programme and that the Americans have failed to provide to the World sufficient evidence of their claims. China has, likewise, made its concerns known to the US about this space missile test, and is reported to be ‘greatly dismayed’ that the actions of the US War Leaders are a direct defiance to this past weeks Chinese-Russian proposal for the banning of all weapons in space.
Russian Military Analysts are stating that this test of their space based missile systems is a ‘necessity’ for the Americans prior to the launching of Total War, of which they state Iran and Syria will be the first target of and to be followed by strikes on Russia and China.
Driving the West in their frenzy to engulf the World in Total Warfare, say Russian Economists, is the rapid disintegration of their economic system, of which, they state, the ‘worst is yet to come’ as their ‘obscure’ credit default swaps are nearing collapse, and which the International Herald Tribune News Service estimates to be over $45 Trillion, nearly ‘twice the size of the entire United States stock market’.
To the American people themselves, however, and who live in a Nation where the rabbits from their Great Yellowstone National Park have ‘disappeared’, as reported by ScienceDaily.Com, where the bats in their Northeastern regions ‘are mysteriously dying by the thousands’, as reported by the Associated Press News Service, and where ‘tens of billions of their honeybees have mysteriously died off’, as reported by the Star-Gazette News Service, to all of these, and more, it remains the sad fact that no warning, about anything, issued by anyone, even to their own senses, even to nature, even to the signs of the stars, can awaken them to the true state of the catastrophic dangers they are facing.

Sunking asked me to post this for him:
hmmm...I see space shuttle Atlantis landed safely.
Eric,
I usually take Sorcha Faal with a whole shaker full of salt grains, but that post had a kind of 'rings true' feel to it. I don't recall hearing some of the 'signs of nature' she was referring to (e.g. rabbits in Yellowstone disappearing). Anyway..............
Huh! I DO take Lipitor. Gee, you made my day!
Oh and good video package deal. WOW! re: the Seattle meteor!

Looks like the satellite shootdown is still on for tonight.
Lots of speculation.
I guess we'll find out when the dust settles.
The impact will probably be at 03:33 UTC, 10:33 pm EST, 9:33 pm CST, 8:33 pm MST, and 19:33 PST.

Hummm.....
I was just watching CNN and 2 f-15's from Eglin have collided near Panama City. Both pilots alive or at least rescued from Gulf of Mexico.
AND
also they showed the path that the satellite takes as it goes around the planet....
Naturally it goes RIGHT over me. I assume so Eglin can keep tabs on it???
Dunno-----but I find that a little scary. The sky really is (almost) falling.
Enjoy the eclipse if you can see it. I plan on watching and dodging falling satellite debris ;)
Speaking of Hawaii..this story about two sleeping pilots is a coverup.. They were abducted, probed and chipped.
I tried to track the satellite through a few of the links that claimed they were doing so including Goro's but ..I'm not finding anything. Any help out there?
After reading what you just wrote maybe I'm in the clear for that debris...
Eric and Ion and Taco better be on the look out however.
I'll keep my eye out for the F-15s.
True to the eclipse theme of tonight of "unveiling's" looks like the NYT is reporting a decade old dalliance between McCain and some lobbyist....heard this via my boyfriend Kieth Olbermann.(I wish)

Coming Soon! at Project Camelot. The interview should prove interesting once the editing is done!
f you need a bodyguard, it's too late. You have to make them not want to kill you.
Benjamin Fulford
The son of a Canadian diplomat, Benjamin Fulford rebelled against his upbringing and at the age of 17 made his way by boat into the heart of the Amazon to live with a tribe of former cannibals. Continuing to seek answers and better understand Western society, he spent time in a self-sufficient community in Argentina before heading to attend university in Japan.
Principled, brave, and still a diehard idealist after all these years, he resigned as Asia-Pacific Bureau Chief of Forbes Magazine after investigating a scandal which the editor refused to report. As he researched global affairs further in his own time, he uncovered for himself the complex web which is global financial control at the hands of the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds - and also the existence of racially targeted bioweapons such as SARS.
It was these plans for global depopulation that upset some important and powerful factions in Japan, Taiwan and China. After being approached by a real-life, present-day Ninja, matters came to a head in 2007 when Benjamin became the first Westerner for 500 years to be admitted into the ranks of the Eastern Secret Societies, a vast group with six million members. Acting as their spokesman, he stepped up to the plate to deliver a simple message to the Illuminati:
Recognize that your time is over, step down without a fight, and allow the world to thrive as it should - or face the consequences from up to 100,000 professional assassins for whom no love is lost towards the self-styled ruling elite of the planet.
This was first communicated through Dr Henry Makow and Jeff Rense in July 2007. Project Camelot has now traveled to Japan to meet with Benjamin Fulford personally. Our two hour video interview will present the far-reaching and literally incredible background story - and will also enable the Illuminati, who we have every confidence watch our videos carefully, to be reminded that the ultimatum is real, serious, and still in force.
Armed also with a contagiously optimistic vision of the future, Benjamin is fully prepared to be the next Finance Minister for Japan. His plans for how he would spend Japan's $5 trillion of foreign reserves to eliminate global poverty are plausible and inspiring as practical steps, way beyond rhetoric, to repair the generations of damage done by a ruthless ruling elite. This is a man with a deep understanding of both East and West, a global economic historian who thinks way outside of the box, a lover of peace who is unafraid to speak warrior words.
Sunking asked me to post this for him:
The link below is something I found while searching 'Burnt Frost', the USG "hazardous materials teams" operation to respond to any satellite debris issues. (Haz mat teams my ass!)
This OASD (Office of the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense) (hmmph! just the 'assistant'?)document is a testament to thorough pre-emptive CYA (ass coverage), ensuring that all parties say the same thing. If nothing else, read the first 4 pages.
http://www.homelandsecurity.wi.gov/docview.asp?docid=13180&locid=129
In the chart on page 4, look for the term 'Echo Chamber'. Look under the column "Target" and ponder on the term "Opinion Influencers". (i.e. information/dyzinformatzya dissemination)
Also, there seems to be some stand-offish yet persistent effort to make it clear that "extensive modifications were required" to the SM-3. Why dat?, I wonder.
Anyway, this is a fair idea of 'how it's done'. 'Course, RCH would say "this may be just one level of the lie". And he may be right!

We care about you. We care about the environment. We care about human populations on earth.
We'll make sure the debris only affects low population land masses like western Africa and northern Canada.
I also note they mention the titanium tank, but did not mention the beryllium lining on the inside.
Every debris cloud has a beryllium lining :)

Gates and the other Gates' seed bank on an island near Svalgard was visited by a 6.2 earthquake during the eclipse last night. That's 77 degrees N. lat and 18 degrees E long. You just have to wonder about the alignment with Holmes on that one.
How good your weather report may be could well hinge on whether or not the chemtrails are sprayed on schedule. I was supposed to have a couple inches of snow but got clear skies instead. The chemtrailing started just before sundown, now we're getting an ice storm. Lovely. Not.
My Nutrition teacher is just a little hipper than I ever would have given her credit for. Not only did she give us the heads up on that downer cow a week + before it hit the news (and quickly got buried), But today she says--
"That eclipse last night has screwed up the life of everyone I know. Everyone's life is suddenly gone haywire and I swear it has to do with that eclipse."
I'm thinking Mrs. Merril secretly has it going on.
Hey Gort...To repeat my comments at Dark Mission, the object shown on CNN that was taken out by the missile was stationary relative to the speed of the missile which was estimated to be travelling at one third the speed. All the graphics were computer generated that showed a moving satellite and the real time vid of the explosion showed a stationary object. My conclusion is that the spy satellite shoot down was a cover story for the spy satellite that went to Holmes to test space based weapons. End of story for the spy satellite and a re-write of history just in case anyone ever wondered what happened to that satellite. I'm having trouble believing that all of the technology in the world with all the resources that they have couldn't launch a satellite by now. The story stinks from day one. They only had 150 miles straight up to get the satellite into space. How can you screw that up?
Just for the record, I'm saying that the shoot down was pure fiction.

US ‘Bending’ Of Atmosphere In Satellite Shootdown Raises Russia-China Concerns
By: Sorcha Faal
A most frightening report is circulating in the Kremlin today that states that the ongoing swarm of earthquakes occurring near the giant US Naval Base in San Diego, California, and the giant 7.6 magnitude earthquake hitting in Indonesia today, are ‘direct consequences’ of the United States effort to ‘bend’ our Earth’s atmosphere in an effort to destroy one of their spy satellites.
According to these reports from the Russian Academy of Sciences Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics in Siberia, and where Russian and Chinese scientists monitor the activities of the United States The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) in Alaska the American’s intend upon their becoming the first Nation in the World to use the abilities of the potentially catastrophic quantum particle beam accelerators now being developed, but never tested, in ‘real-time’ experiments.
The exact ‘plan’ of the United States, these reports state, is to use what is termed as a ‘triangulation’ of quantum particle beams originating from their HARRP facility in Alaska, their vast Naval Base in California, and their secretive Indian Ocean base on the Diego Garcia atoll, to ‘alter the space-time continuum’ of our Earth’s electro plasma sheathing in order to ‘lift’ the magnetosphere into the orbit of their orbiting spy satellite so that it will cease its space orbiting and be destroyed.
It is also interesting to note that the exact timing of this quantum weapons test, by the Americans, is coinciding with the last Total Lunar Eclipse until 2010, and which these reports state the US is dependent upon in their belief that the ‘pull’ being exerted upon our Earth from the Moon during this eclipse will ‘mitigate’ any potentially catastrophic effects that may occur.
It is also being reported in the United States that their Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has issued to all of their local police and fire departments, Nationwide, a "First Responder Guide for Space Object Re-Entry”, though these reports state that the ‘most likely’ catastrophic effects of this quantum weapons test would be earthquakes, volcanic activity and strange storms.
21 Feb 2008 UPDATE: It is interesting to note that immediately after the US fired their quantum weapon system at their satellite, Norway experienced their worst earthquake in history in their Svalbard archipelago, and which happens to be the location of what is termed the Doomsday seed vault.

I may be the only one out here that thinks Holmes was "exploded" by the "spy satellite" but then, I'm the only one talking about Compton and it's gamma ray space investigations being co-opted by black ops.
Eric....
I have to admit I don't buy a single bit of the spy satellite story. Or the "Official" one anyway.
There was also a srong quake in NW Nevada today. Now, was that the eclipse/full moon? I don't know.
I also think it was mighty convienient of Bushy to hightail it to Africa just now. Since when in 7 years has he givven a good god damn about Africa?
What? Huh? Darfur? genocide???
What Somali pirates that damn near killed a few American (and my Mom)???
The whole thing stinks to high heaven. Literally.
Eric,
I haven't seen the video(s) yet of the "shootdown," but it is likely that the camera was tracking the spy satellite (panning along the known track of the satellite, thus making the satellite appear to be stationary in the frame.)
If you used a telephoto lens or telescopic lens, you would not have a real wide field of view and would want to focus on one object or the other. In people's minds the missile hits the satellite, not the other way around. in 'reality' (based on what I've read and heard about what was supposed to happen) both objects were supposed to be moving toward each other at high speed, thus giving the impact based on the combined speeds of both objects.
Ideally you would frame the impact site (which is harder to know ahead of time) and show both objects moving into that same spot.
Things moving across your field of vision look slower the farther away they are.
I did find it surprising that all week they were talking about the satellite being 150 miles up, and the reports after the fact said it was hit at 130 miles up.
Also reports said the missile was launced at 10:26 EST, which just happens to be the precise time of the middle of the eclipse.
HU? :)
Gort
Gort,
I noticed the timing of that too.
And felt it was just a little toooo
coincidental considering they had a huge window in which to do this.
And furthermore---
On one of the last shuttle missions they were complaining about all the space junk and how it was such a threat to all the other satellites and the ISS and the shuttle. Ummm....I know I'm not always the sharpest knife in the drawer, but didn't they just as about a gazillion more little bits of space crap into the area???
None of this is adding up for me.
The first part of the story of the Satellite shootdown is now on TEM.
It reads very similar to the blog on Dark Mission, but it has better graphics. ANd a "stay tuned..."
The blog on Dark Mission has an update about weird happenings at White Sands the evening of the shootdown.
The 150 miles/130 miles discrepency MAY be caused by the Military reporting the altitude of the collision at 130 Nautical miles, which are slightly longer than statute miles.
Sunking: Good eye on the "Echo Chamber" = "Opinion Influencers."
would that be Paul Harvey, Oprah, Rush, Jay Leno, Faux News, etc. :)
Isn't there something in the British government called the "star chamber" ?
If there isn't, there should be.
Looks like the Serbians are not a bunch of happy campers.

USS Lake Erie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
USS Lake Erie has been the name of two ships in the United States Navy, both are named for the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812:
USS Lake Erie (1917), a former cargo ship for the Navy from 1917 until she was sunk during an accident in 1919.
USS Lake Erie (CG-70), a Ticonderoga-class cruiser currently serving in the United States Navy as of 2008.
[end excerpt]
USS Lake Erie (CG-70) fired the 'shot heard round the world' to kill the dead spy satellite (to avoid a toxic fuel HAZARD).
The Battle of Lake Erie was won by
American naval forces commanded by
Oliver HAZARD Perry, known for the Perry Battleflag: DONT GIVE UP THE SHIP. The battle took place in 1813.
This concludes your OLD NAVY factoid. :)

Thursday, February 21, 2008 10:05:00 PM
I wonder about the satelite story further too. Just a projectile...shades of Tempel1....certain speeds required. I keep getting flash ideas of specific locations or 'ritual points' requiring a vibratory pulse. My old metaphor was "get up and bar the door!". Studies I had done in the past suggested this was a time that the 'veils thinned' and the boundaries between the layers of the Mandala or vibratory layers of dimension are lessened.
If that is so, then I am caused to wonder about all these key 'events' that make a deep impact at key points? A shoring up of the hyperdimensional triangulations here.
Its great "for us" to move upward in the vibratory levels but what about what is 'below us' that may want to do the same by an opportunistic moment like this at 'end time-first time'?
The 'hit' at the Pentagon for me was very telling,
amongst a number of other 'places' that have experienced 'an impact'.
(can't finish this thought for now....baby calls) ;)
A stabilization technique...a pulse wave point clearing banging of a gong.
I don't speak necessarily of a species, but of vibratory levels themselves. Mind/Consciousness is just that too.
Is there a need to re-enforce the sphere? ...as the field is weakened in this time, magnetically and in other ways. Is there actions required that do more than just re-enforcing the at-mosphere?
Locations, ritual points, something like the knowledge of Lagrange(the three body problem)...triangulation.....all designed to create a stable place.....and so it whirled with out end...a World Without End....devotional exercises of the highest order....to tune the domain specifically at this testing point of ancient knowing. A time of the knowl.edge.
The World Trade Center, The Pentagon, Tempel1...all were locations/points of known sacred geometries and alignments.
Beyond Crypto/C.C.'s political conspiracy preference, some of the this speaks to his specialty of how places were aligned and nodes are chosen in the mapping of ALL.
Time...for me to go to the other 'stable' place..... and turn out...the horses.
(how interesting...we walk to the east every morning at sunrise to the pastures...hmmmmm)
This is the official vid for the satellite takedown. I'm not impressed. Typical propaganda from the ground up. Note the speed of the missile as it leaves the ship. It should be going faster by the time it gets where it's going..
Note the lack of evidence..The missile from this video could have been a big firecracker.
http://www.breitbart.tv/html/50894.html
Follow up.
With all due respect, I intend no disrespect to those who died in 911 or people who lost loved ones.
My contemplation was merely to speak to the idea of bigger motives that might serve existence itself on the grandest scale here. Which ones and what 'locations' are most relevant is outside my full knowledge.
Ion, this one's for you.

Ion:
The comments about the vibrations gave me a lot to ponder.
In 1492/93 Columbus was able to convince the natives in Jamaica that his God could make the moon disapear. Of course he had an almanac and knew when the total lunar eclipse would occur.
In 2008 we had the technology to create an artificial meteor shower during a total lunar eclipse, with a French Astronaut (Priory of Sion?) at the controls of the "Columbus" laboratory module on the International Space Station.

WINDS to Launch at 5:55 (p.m.) JST (3:55am EST)
Gort
Looks like it was a good launch.
Looks like its flight path took it over the North Pacific Test Area just South of Hawaii. Good thing they delayed the lift-off. :)
The live broadcast was mostly in Japanese, with a little English.
I think the WINDS satellite will be placed in a Geo-Synchronous orbit over the Equator and South of Japan. It may take a couple of orbits to get to the final position.
The WINDS is also about the size of a bus...
Well, now that I feel like a part of the global community of space cadets, I'm going to sleep, perchance to dream of warmer weather and Baseball!
Gort
Eric,
It is a three stage rocket and it starts out slow and accererates until it is going really fast.
In the beginning it is lifting the weight of the entire rocket including almost all the unburned fuel. As more fuel is burned the weight is less so the same force of thrust will provide more speed.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that out. :)
Gort
Good point Gort.. I looked at the live feed on CNN again today. I wonder if 130 miles out is in the vacuum. The concussion produced very similar poofs to Holmes with a large poof to the left of the screen. The object being contacted, did look like it exploded.
Ion..I was impressed with your comments of a couple of days ago concerning the eclipse and sympathetic vibration raising the earth by way of a couple of earthquakes. Sounds like a reasonable conclusion and could easily be assimilated by anyone who believes that the universe is moving based on electric universe functions. Good points.
According to one report I read on
Xinhua the satellite hit occurred at 133 nautical miles altitude.
That's 100 + 33 nm
at 03:30 Universal Time
Love those 3's (where's Jas????)

Did you know the President, the First Lady, and the Secretary of State were in Accra, Ghana the evening of the lunar eclipse and spy satellite shootdown (actually wee hours of the morning there, the launch being at 03:26 UTC/GMT Feb. 21, and Ghana's local time being the same as GMT--year around).
Did you know the first orbital path of the debris cloud was over Northern Canada and then southward over the Atlantic and the Western tip of Africa? And Ghana is in the western tip of Africa.
Ghana has a long history as a major deposit of Gold. Does this have something to do with Zechariah Sitchen's Smerian legends and the Anunaki?

Good point, and sometimes I find we can become myoptic with the focus on 'hard' technology itself and the demonstrations of it via examples like NASA.
A while back I referred to a few examples of people who formerly worked for Nasa who moved on to other specialties of the much more 'spiritual/healing' nature. ie Barbara Brennan.
The Barbara Brennan School of Healing is dedicated to the evolution of the human spirit. A global healing institute with graduates worldwide, BBSH® has more than 500 students from all over the world.
Dr. Barbara Brennan, the School's founder, is a world-renowned healer, teacher and former NASA physicist, and the best-selling author of Hands of Light®, Light Emerging and the Seeds of the Spirit® book series. She has devoted the last 30 years to research and exploration of the Human Energy Field.
Dr. Brennan draws on scientific and metaphysical sources to bring together many aspects of human experience which describe and explain the healing process.
http://www.barbarabrennan.com/welcome/introduction.html
What I find people like Hoagland are kind of pointing to is that so-called hyperdimensional physics is just another name for sacred knowledge/spiritual technology. The more hard examples like orbitors and ships and classic science themes are but one expression of their real knowledge that they are acting on or through.
I used to study 'Pwang Guy Noon'(aka Ouchi Ryu Karate Do' which means half hard half soft. As Sword showed some time ago with a Masonic science comic cover there are two means or methods that are of the one bigger understanding.
Mystic studies I had done years ago clearly pointed to the Pentagon 'building' being placed most specifically at that point on the planet for powerful reasons. In mysticism there is the tuning of the Earth through what are called 'Dolmans' which are spherical stones again placed on key points. Further to that though there is the Science of Manhirs, which is more specifically wedge or more angled slab rocks stuck vertically in the ground very much like an acupuncture needle and used in exactly the same manner on the planet.
So, on one hand, the story of something will appear one way....of course be tailored for we the mushroom people, yet be a critical event for the stabilization of this lopsided of balanced planet. Obviously the whole arrangement here seems to need direct 'maintenance' of a sort.
I really found that with the Hurricane Katrina event, and I note that Hoagland was emphatic about the data from the Deep Impact at Temple1(of all names!)
Some truth of that story as I found was that the more intriguing object of two was in fact Patheon which was the parent of the Perseid's meteor storm. Alas it was considered 'dead' and they found they could get a much better fly by and viewing time of Comet9P Tempel1.
But was hardly noted was that their intent with the impactor of very specific metals and required exact velocity was to attempt to 'reactivate' the comet. In clear theory, they claimed in a pdf that they already new pretty much how to 'de-activate' one but this test was to attempt to 'trigger' it out of 'dormancy'.
When Alvin Toffler talked in his book about Lagrange points L4/L5 being the 'High Ground' of the 21st Century War and Anti War, I wonder if indeed those points are much more? As Sword told his Three Wise Men story a few Xmas's back, and I chimed in about the Three Wise Horses that carried to the famous "Stable" place that Jesus was born, there are also other examples appearing that point to this nuance of 'stable places'. Points that have exponential leverage over everything else.
L4/L5 are points in the Lagrange triangulation that are called "stable". They are saddle like or bowl like ...kind of like a grail cup and as Toffler called them....the High Ground.
I know I am jumping around here on the fly, but one starts to look more closely at the layout of all as well the actions taking place in our current time as meaningful.
Questions: Why does the colossal opening on Mar's moon Phobos always face the sun? Always, and it has a constant temperature actually near 0C. Why was the first object found at a Lagrange point, in this case for Mars, called Eureka! ? ....and it was at Mar's L5. Why does Cruithne3753 an Earth moonlet trace a near perfect 1:1 ratio orbit with us yet not be gravitationally bound to us at all? A spiraling pattern that is most oddly floral shaped and seen no where else?
Anyway I could on, but we are seeing tiny disclosures, that are really showing that Humanity is working at much higher levels and serving issues far beyond the notions we have down here in the 'denser' place on the ground.
Intentional Sacred Geometries are everywhere and have been for millenia....and of course they're kept secret for obvious reasons.
Remember Sword's reference to Janus. In that, he basically told a story of their thinking that the Moon is a 'companion 'ship' to Iapetus, but if you go further in the thoughts about Janus itself, one discovers it refers to the GOD of All Gods or the GOD Before All Gods, and in fact January itself, the first month of our year is named after Janus.
So much more on that topic but it does to me indicate again this analogy of "two sides of the same coin"....the two faces of Janus.
clarification: Janus is a Saturnian 'Moon' orbiting right next to Iapetus.
Sunking asked me to post this for him:
Gort,

Hey Ya'll---
Meber the 2 f15 fighters that collided over the Gulf the same night of the eclipse/satellite shootdown?
Well take a wild stab at what the number of that fighter wing was???

Ion, the saturnian moon Janus shares a very close orbit with the moon Epimetheus (hindsight or literally hind thought) Every 4 years (earth years) Epimetheus and Janus trade orbits. (see wikipedia)
Epimetheus and Prometheus are Titans and sons of Iapetus.
Gort
Interesting Gort. tks.
Further to that thought about Janus, I had found there was also a key hill called The Hill of Janus in ancient Rome which had a variation called Janiculum in Latin. But alternatively it was also called "Ianiculensis". They refer to the Hill in some works as "Arx Janiculensis" or "Arx Ianiculensis".....which means essentially "original fortress' or "first fortress".
Might this also mean 'an original or first stable place"?
Interestingly it was called the City of Janus too, but I did find this small secondary reference to it sometimes had a meaning apparently as the "Gate".
http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Gazetteer/Places/Europe/Italy/Lazio/Roma/Rome/_Texts/PLATOP*/Janiculum.html
Almost unnoticed in the article, I find that an interesting term. hmmmm (The Gate)
My thought thread here is that once our higher spiritual Orders understood directly what this place really is here , then they started to directly participate in its stability in various ways. Order Making practices intended to shore up the domain and maintain.
I have studied a number of true spatial masters who work on problem regions or places in the world where energy lines have been disrupted or corrupted(ie Nazi alterations). It seems only logical that there would be those who are active on the next larger scales, be it global or local solar system.
Gardening at its finest!
Ion,
I was also struck by the description of Janus in wikipedia as the "Roman god of gates,doors, doorways,beginnings and endings."
And that "namesakes [include] 'January'-- the beginning of the year, and caretaker of doors and halls --'janitor.'"
Interesting coincidence that the Secretary of Defense is named Robert Gates and he was ceremonially the person giving the order to shoot the missile at the satellite.
Was he acting as a 'janitor' in the common sense of cleaning up the satellite corridor, or taking out the trash (useless spy satellite) ?
Or was he closing or opening a gate?
The other thing that struck me when you mentioned Janus as a moon of Saturn is that Saturn and Regulus were in play in the lunar eclipse drama.. The moon was the star and Regulus and Saturn were the co-stars.
If you get into the star position ritual thingy, for the eclipse and shootdown scenario, where you see the position of Saturn you may substitute Janus-- an inner moon, an understudy.
here is a clue: one of the acts takes place in Rio de Janeiro....

"Martian imaging software
Posted by: "Kevin" vk3ukf@hotmail.com vk3ukf
Tue Feb 26, 2008 5:51 am (PST)
Hello people,
I've written a program that might interest those that follow the
NASA, MER rovers Spirit
and Opportunity. It uses the JPG images from the NASA site as well
as the Exploratorium website.
I called it MERDAT. It creaes colour true and false, RGB or MER2RGB,
AVI movies,
3D anaglyphs and X-eye 3D. The AVI function will make AVI using BMP
or JPG sources.
It displays the exact time on Earth that the image was made and the
Martian Sol and time.
This info. can also be tagged onto the image, and individual frames
of movie sequences.
Also, the camera, (Fwd HAZCAM, Rr HAZCAM, PANCAM, Microscopic
Imager, NAVCAM)
Left and Right eye, Optical Filter in use.
This all just happens whenever an image is selected in the filelist
box.
I am playing around with other languages on the image date tag
function.
I am not quite there yet in that regards, but I'll get there.
This is apparent in the current download, which is the same as what
is on my
hard drive at the moment. The language selection area on the tag
page are looking a
bit experimental, because they are.
It will look for pics taken on your birthday and if they are not
there on your hard drive,
allow you to connect to the page at NASA where they are.
This is what I call free license.
I can't help myself.
There is probably a few things in the program that might fall under
that category.
I tried to cater for all ? The language selection will allow for
Klingon, if the BernyKlingon font
is already present on your machine or in the same directory.
I am thinking once the language bits are done that's it.
Any suggestions?
I do have to think about porting it to Apple machines.
I have been asked by a rover person if that could be done.
If you know anyone that might know about how to port
delphi code for windows to apple machines, just one pointer would
be invaluable.
I'll finish it in the windows version first though.
You can search for references for me, using my amateur radio
callsign on Google.

I had a very strange thing happen to me last night and whether it fits into this blog or not, I'll leave it up to you.
I'm a receiver. I unload trucks for a grocery store. We work graveyards. My last trailer was leaving the yard at 1 AM PT. I could relax. As the truck pulled away, I take that quality time thing to look up into the heavens. That near full moon just recently eclipsed, was worth a moment of contemplation. A cloud was rolling up toward it and I wanted to see if the cloud would reveal itself as one of those chemical soup deals from a chemtrail. This is detected by a rainbow hue to the cloud. It wasn't conclusively a chemspew but as I took notice, it had a square spaped black hole directly in the middle of it. The wind was driving the cloud between me and the moon and the square black hole was going to line up perfectly to frame the moon. The moon didn't show. The black hole was a black object above the cloud. There was another "hole" more to the edge of the cloud. I watched the moon through the cloud approach the second irregularly shaped hole and sure enough the moon shone brightly through

Japan Launches Internet Satellite Martyn Williams, IDG News Service
Mon Feb 25, 10:35 AM ET
Japan has launched a satellite that is able to provide high-speed Internet connections to homes and offices at speeds rivaling those of today's fiber optic connections.
The satellite launched Saturday, called Kizuna, is part of the government's e-Japan project and its modest aim is the creation of the world's most advanced information and telecommunications network.
It will be able to provide broadband Internet connections to homes with download speeds of up to 155M bps (bits per second) and upload speeds of 6M bps. The services will be delivered via 45-centimeter dish antennas, which are about the same size as those used for digital direct-to-home (DTH) satellite TV services in many countries.
Even faster connections at download speeds of around 1.2G bps will be offered to commercial users via 5 meter antennas.
There are two antennas on the satellite, one serving Japan and one aimed at the Asia Pacific region as a whole. These multibeam antennas efficiently divide up the satellite's signal into multiple beams so the limited frequencies available can be reused in many different areas.
To help route signals between beams the satellite carries an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switch onboard.
The domestic Internet services will be primarily aimed at rural areas that are not served by fiber-optic Internet services.
Fiber Internet connections are pervasive in built-up areas of Japan and a 100M bps connection costs around $40 per month, but in rural areas slower DSL (digital subscriber line) connections are typically as fast as the Internet gets.
The satellite will also serve as an Internet back-up network should terrestrial communications be disrupted by a major earthquake.
The satellite's Asian beam will be used to provide high-speed Internet connections between Japan and other nations in the region, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology said in a joint statement.
The launch from Japan's Tanegashima Space Center, delayed from earlier in February, took place at 5:55 p.m. local time (8:55 a.m. GMT) on Saturday
Eric,
The Kizuna is also WINDS.
Actually the project is called WINDS and the satellite that launched saturday, Feb. 23, at 5:55 pm JST is nicknamed "Kizuna" which means "ties or bonds."
WINDS stands for "Wideband InterNetworking engineering test and Demonstration Satellite."
Speaking of winds, there are currently no tropical storms aound the world and have not been for several days. In fact I think the last tropical storm action was Nicholas on Feb. 18.
We're coming up on the spring equinox in March and the switchover from southern hemisphere tropical storms to northern hemisphere tropical storms. Of course it takes awhile for the northern hemisphere waters to heat up, so there may be a lull for awhile.

Total Solar Eclipse of 2008 August 01
http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/SEmono/TSE2008/TSE2008.html
"On Friday, 2008 August 01, a total eclipse of the Sun is visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses half the Earth. The path of the Moon's umbral shadow begins in Canada and extends across northern Greenland, the Arctic, central Russia, Mongolia, and China. A partial eclipse is seen within the much broader path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which includes northeastern North America, most of Europe and Asia."
August 1 is anniversary of opening ceremonies Berlin "Nazi" Olympics.
Eclipse path ends in China a week before the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics 08-08-08.
Path also passes near Svalbard, Norway, were the "Doomsday Vault" for seeds is located, (opened Feb. 25, 2008, four days after Total Lunar Eclipse.)
Seed Vault near town of Longyearbyen. 78*13' N 15*33' East well above the Arctic Circle.
Their Polar Night runs from mid- October to mid-February.
Their Polar Day mid-April to mid-August.

I saw a cloud like this in broad daylight one Sunday afternoon and I couldn't get anyone from my family to come outside and look at it before it was too late to see it. You couldn't see the sky through the hole. The hole in the cloud looked as though it had to be at least a couple of miles across.

For the first time in the nation's history, more than one in 100 American adults is behind bars, according to a new report.
Nationwide, the prison population grew by 25,000 last year, bringing it to almost 1.6 million. Another 723,000 people are in local jails. The number of American adults is about 230 million, meaning that one in every 99.1 adults is behind bars.
Incarceration rates are even higher for some groups. One in 36 Hispanic adults is behind bars, based on Justice Department figures for 2006. One in 15 black adults is, too, as is one in nine black men between the ages of 20 and 34.
The report, from the Pew Center on the States, also found that only one in 355 white women between the ages of 35 and 39 are behind bars but that one in 100 black women are.

Hurricane Emma kills nine in central Europe
At least nine people have lost their lives in Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic as Hurricane Emma struck central Europe.
One of Germany's high speed trains was taken out of action and several rail lines were closed as winds reached 190 kilometres an hour. Three people died in Germany.
In some areas, heavy rainfall caused flooding as well.
In Austria the death toll reached four, including two German tourists, with at least two of the people killed by trees blown down by high winds.
Some 10,000 households in the north of the country have been left without electricity.
Skiers in the Alps were warned to take extra care after a metre of snow fell and a Bundesliga football match was cancelled.
Across the countries hit by Emma, the damage is estimated to be worth tens of millions of euros. Weather experts say winds are likely to pick up again on Sunday morning.
In the Czech Republic, two people died - an 11-year-old girl who was crushed by a falling tree and a man, 80, who was hit by a piece of metal. Around 100,000 people are without electricity and transport has been disrupted throughout the country.
High waves hit the Belgian coast and across the country power cables and roofs were damaged by the storm

I wish I had seen Orlin on 60 minutes.
How was it ?
Very interesting article about ruins discovered near Tiahuanaco.
http://www.officialdisclosure.com/giants.htm
What I found most intriguing is the satellite images are very very much like the various shots from Mars I have seen being discussed by Keith Laney and Robert and others.
'get well scarletm!'
I think it was at least 10 years ago. Orlin jerked Morely around a bit and was wearing a wig two feet long. The basic premise of the 60 minutes schtick was that Grabbe was the Matt Drudge of the internet before there was a Matt Drudge. I wonder if there is an archive of the film somewhere?
I've had a week to mull this over and have a bit more information to pass on. The cloud only took 30 seconds to pass by the moon. The black square hole took about 5-7 seconds of that time. This cloud wasn't very big and not very far away. The wind moving the cloud was moving the flags in the same direction as the cloud. The moon was totally visible through the cloud except when it went behind the square black hole. I saw a glint of the moon at the bottom left edge of the square black hole so this may have been a triangular object above the cloud. When the moon showed up perfectly behind the second smaller hole near the edge of the cloud, I simply spun around and headed indoors not looking back at any time to see what the cloud or moon were doing. I had one of those "plausible deniability" brain infarcts.
Anyway, the title is linked to an article about Jesus coming in the clouds. Of course, I'm not sure if that means that Jesus is coming back on an alien craft or whatever. The fact that the moon could not be seen through the black hole suggests something physical not something spiritual. This kind of thing can leave one to wonder for a long time. I know something happened but no one else was standing in my shoes and no one else could have seen that particular allignment of viewer, square black hole and cloud. No witnesses. Being of sound mind, etc. etc. WTF.?..comes to mind.

Gort is right, what a stupid idea. Saying this body slam to the moon is "economical" to me is on a par with mountaintop removal coal mining. Sure, it doesn't cost much, but it's the ultimate in crapping in your own nest regardless of what coal companies tell you. What are they going to do when they find the water they need is already polluted by their little experiment?
Scarletm, hope you feel better!

Greetings, all. All well here, WX has been beautiful, but chemtrail laden. I just took possession of my wife's old digital camera (she got a Nikon DX40 for Xmas) and I'm gonna start taking pics and posting for ya to see the remarkable stuff I see here in Jax.

Took a look at the officialdisclosure.com link and saw the sat pics. Sometimes I wonder if these things we see are not just artefacts of the imaging process??? But they DO resemble the stuff from Mars.

Interesting, the link to Strieber. Some of the BS he's suffered is his own fault, since he DID go out on the limb a few times and his predictions (given to him by the 'beings' who comuunicated with him) were proven wrong. But at first, some were right. He does make a good point, about any 'study' being focused 'away' from where true disclosure is most needed. We'll keep our eyes open for that.

Well the Doc says I have had the chance to get up close and personal with a norovirus. Been a really rough 2 days. Trust me, you do not want this nasty bug. Nice little bout of bronchitis on top of THAT, and I still have managed to avoid the actual influenza that's going around, however she didn't seem optimistic about me NOT getting it now that my immune system is in the potty with the rest of my GI tract.
I have been taking high doses of C and E hoping to boost it, but the antibiotics I'm on may not help with that so much. I'm down to prayer for hope at this point. We shall see. Still not feeling great, but at least I have been able to leave the bathroom for more than 5 seconds.

The storm "Emma" in Europe was not on my "radar," as it is not "tropical weather."
I wonder if it really was a hurricane, or if it was just a really big storm with hurricane force winds?
Parts of China have had freezing temperatures and snow cover since October (areas that generally don't get that much snow) and millions of people there have had frost bite and snow blindness.
Some rural populations of farmers and peasants are having to be relocated because there's literally nothing there for them to do to subsist.

Just finished browsing an article about "astrological ages" on wikpedia.
Interesting take on the meaning of some of the zodiac symbols.
The meat of the info starts with the Great Month of Leo (Leo-Aquarius) ca. 10,500 BC to 8,000 BC
(because we don't know much about "human" history before that.)

Does anyone have a source of research about the Sphinx being a representation of the zodiac constellations Leo and Virgo?

Re: satellite pics
Good point, but I often wondered how Laney and Hoagland and the others were so 'familiar' in their reviews of details from the Mars images etc. I guess there is a well developed criteria of analysis for earthly satellite imaging of ancient ruins etc.
Crazy weather. We jumped up to 47F yesterday and I heard rumblings all day (far distant, kind of like thunder).
No no! Really.... please don't order me one of them hurricanes or a British earthquake! I'll take the freezing rain and 20 degree temperature swings. lol ;)

re: satellite pics. At least on Earth you can often have on-the-site verification (ground truth).
Mostly on Mars so far we can't do that. One of the main points of "Monuments on Mars" is that we go there and see in person.
I have seen aerial pics of the Nazca plains glyphs but had not seen anything about these new geometric apparitions near Lake Titicaca. The new ones look to me like they may be some kind of hologram like thingy.
I have a friend who works with satellite imaging and went on an expedition to Guatemala and Mexico to explore some newly discovered ruins, such as mentioned in the recent news. He said the picture on line where you see parts of ruins is not what the story is about. The ones they were exploring were completely hidden by the jungle, the only way to spot them was subtle differences in the spectrum of the vegetation which can be detected by the satellite imaging and enhanced by the special software.
The vegetation over the ruins gives off a different vibe. :)

Looked up the "Lernaean Hydra"
Hercules went looking for it to slay as one of his 12 Labors.
Hercules fires a flaming arrow into the swamp to draw out the Hydra. The Hydra has poisonous breath and poisonous blood.
The U.S. Navy fired a flaming missile from a ship in the ocean into the very edge of space to destoy the rogue spy satellite, and prevent possible death to civilians who might encounter the dangerous Hydrazine fuel if the fuel tank had survived re-entry through the atmospere. Similar in effects to Chrorine, hydrazine fumes are irritating in small quantiies, but are deadly in higher consentrations. The fuel tank contained frozen hydrazine in space, and the hydrazine when it hit the ground would have been liquid or gas depending on the temperature. So you have either a highly toxic liquid or vapors, and you can compare the hydrazine to the "poisonous breath" or "poisonous blood" of the Hydra.
At the time of the middle of the total lunar eclipse, when the moon was just one minute past the meridian at Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, the constellation Hydra was at the Zenith, while at the same time in Giza, Egypt, the constellation Hydra was setting on the western horizon.
Meanwhile, at the the Royal Greenwich Observatory, Regulus is at 33 degrees above the western horizon and Saturn is at 36 degrees while the eclipsed moon is at 32 degrees. Sirius is at -19.5,
(19.5 degrees below the western horizon) at Greenwich.
Anyway, something like that.

On the news this week I hear open talk now about the coming regularity of more severe weather events.(CBC).
Events for Ontario/Quebec like the 98 Ice Storm.
They are also saying outright now, the expectation of fresh water shortages world wide. This includes a country like Canada where it would seem has an abundance of such.
Last night we had a huge storm with major snow fall(Well over a foot). The odd thing is we had thunder and lightening. ??
Thought I am having this morning is contemplating the shortages of fresh water. Wouldn't it make sense if you had scalar technology, to perhaps 'store up' or 'stock pile' water for the coming growing season if you were able? Up here Winter typically produces a lot of precipitation which we also know can 'be helped'. ;)
Wouldn't it make sense on the edge of Spring to 'blanket' a region with something lasting like snow?
What a way to infuse the water table just prior to a growing season or to fill reservoirs in advance of Summer.
This strategy of 'a blanket effect' seems so plausible considering this storm we just had. It was just too unusual.
Remember our prior discussions on scalar and how Sword disclosed it has a 'sucking in action' more than a repulsive idea? So one could consider how this weather system was 'drawn in' and the region blanketed with a thick coating of snow as an end result or perhaps a side effect to some other purpose.
And you thought you needed to be worried about the flouride in the water...
ppftt. That AIN't NOHIN according to the AP who did a major study on muncipal water from dozens of cities.
A very scary article. Take note that NYC has trace amts of diazapam-aka Xanax/Ativan etc...
I always wondered what happened to meds that get flushed into the system....

"John Sidney McCain III entered the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland in 1954. Young McCain wanted to become an admiral. He planned to be the "first son and grandson of four star admirals" to achieve such a distinction. But that was not to be. McCain III possessed none of the innate character and discipline traits that helped mold his father and grandfather into great military leaders .. At the Academy, aside being known as a "rowdy, raunchy, underachiever" who resented authority, Cadet McCain became infamous as a leader among his fellow midshipmen for organizing "off-Yard activities" and hard drinking parties .. McCain's grades were "marginal." He drew so many demerits for breaking curfew and other discipline issues that he graduated fifth from the bottom of the class of 1958. Despite his low "class standing," and no doubt because of the influence of his family of famous Admirals, McCain was leap-frogged ahead of more qualified applicants and granted a coveted slot to be trained as a navy pilot .. He spent the next two and a half years as a "naval aviator in training" at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida and Naval Air Station Corpus Christi in Texas, flying A-1 Skyraiders .. McCain "learned to fly at Pensacola, though his performance was below par, at best good enough to get by. He liked flying, but didn't love it." .. McCain, the "below par" pilot, eventually lost 5 military aircraft, the first during a training flight in 1958 when he plunged into Corpus Christi Bay while trying to land. The Navy ignored the crash and graduated McCain in 1960. While deployed in the Mediterranean, the hard partying McCain lost a second aircraft. Timberg described the crash: "Flying too low over the Iberian Peninsula, he took out some power lines which led to a spate of newspaper stories in which he was predictably identified as the son of an admiral." Unscathed, McCain returned to Pensacola Station where he was promoted to
flight instructor for Naval Air Station Meridian in Mississippi .. Flight instructor McCain lost a third aircraft while flying a Navy trainer solo to Philadelphia for an Army-Navy football game. Timberg wrote that McCain radioed, "I've got a flameout" before ejecting at one thousand feet. McCain parachuted onto a beach moments before his plane slammed into a clump of trees. The Navy dismissed the crash as "unavoidable" and assigned McCain to the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal in December 1966, which was patrolling the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. In Spring 1967, the Forrestal was assigned to join the Operation Rolling Thunder bombing campaign against North Vietnam. McCain lost his fourth plane on board the Forrestal on July 29, 1967 when a rocket inadvertently slammed into his bomb laden jet. McCain escaped, but the explosions that followed killed 134 sailors. McCain was transferred from the badly damaged Forrestal to the USS Oriskany. Shortly afterwards, on Oct. 26, 1967, he was shot down and captured by the Vietnamese .. Still yearning to become an admiral, McCain enrolled in the National War College at Fort McNair in Washington, D.C. and underwent physical therapy in order to fly again. The Navy excused his permanent disabilities and reinstated him to flight status, effectively positioning him for promotion. Timberg described McCain's advancement: "in the fall of 1974, McCain was transferred to Jacksonville as the executive officer of Replacement Air Group 174, the long-sought flying billet at last a reality. A few months later, he assumed command of the RAG, which trained pilots and crews for carrier deployments. The assignment was controversial, some calling it favoritism, a sop to the famous son of a famous father and grandfather, since he had not first commanded a squadron, the usual career path." While Executive Officer and later as Squadron Commander McCain used his authority to arrange frequent flights that allowed him to carouse with subordinates and "engage in extra-marital affairs." .. In early 1977, Admiral Jim Holloway, Chief of Naval Operations promoted McCain to captain and transferred him from his command position "to Washington as the number-two man in the Navy's Senate liaison office. McCain was promptly given total control of the office. It wasn't long before the "fun loving and irreverent" McCain had turned the liaison office into a "late-afternoon gathering spot where senators and staffers, usually from the Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees, would drop in for a drink and the chance to unwind." .. He resigned from the Navy in 1981 and went to work for his father-in-law in Phoenix; where he used the opportunity to make powerful and wealthy friends in Arizona including banker Charles Keating and Duke Tully, the editor-in-chief of the Arizona Republic. Keating was later convicted of fraud, racketeering, and conspiracy and Tully was disgraced for concocting a phony military record of combat in Korea and Vietnam including medals for heroism. McCain ran for Arizona's First Congressional District in 1982. McCain won the congressional seat. In 1987 McCain was elected to the US Senate." http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1961665/posts

Sunking asked me to post this for him:
Ion,
Had not heard about water shortage...what I did hear yesterday was that we in the US can expect serious flooding with the spring thaw...i.e. too MUCH water!
Big controversy here in Florida...TPTB in Orlando are trying to seek permission to pump water from the St. Johns river...like 30 millions gallons/day! Folks up here in Jax are questioning the advisability of this...but the developers keep building more homes, and worse...large apartment complexes. I personally not sure I want to drink from the St. Johns...but then....
Scarlet,
I heard the report this morning about the water in the muninciple water study and all you can say is WTF? Where are these 'trace amounts' ("nothing to see here, move along") coming from? Pretty damned shocking. I expect we'll hear more about this and soon. DJBarney is no doubt sagely nodding his head.

The problem with "taking or dealing in [illegal] drugs," is the crime associated with the illegal drug trade. Certainly different substances effect indivuals differently, and no one should take something that they know will harm them, nor force someone else to take a harmful substance. Unless you're the big pharma industry, then that's a different story. NOT!
I just paid under 3 dollars for a factory sealed package of one ounce (28 g) of organic catnip for my cats. They love their wacky weed! But it seems like a good wholesome plant like cannabis should not cost any more than that, counting shipping and handling. It's the fact that it is illegal and overpriced that is a sin!
Someone (Jesus ?) said something like, "Don't worry about the impurities that enter your mouth: it's the impurities that come out of your mouth that are harmful."
I also just paid over 3 dollars a gallon for gasoline. Thank you, George W. Bush. (attitude of gratitude) It is the highest it has ever been both in terms of current dollars and in terms of adjusted for inflation highest price ever.
The reason gas prices in Europe are so much higher is they have added taxes, which are used to discourage automobile traffic and encourage (and subsidize) mass transit and railroads.
That was an interesting piece about "McSame as Bush's" military career. At least he, McSame, showed up for duty.

Gosh if they seem like they might be going broke its because they are so busy paying off the almost uncountable cases against their nest of gay pedophile priests.
SLAM!!
Don't worry scarletm, they can recolor and repackage but the truth of their unDivine ways is still going to bubble up and be rudely revealed. (as we are seeing more and more every day). ;)
So very much of the suffering and horrors of this world are exclusively and only from religion, and these most notable groups who perpetrate it in the name of Godliness.
Just saw the movie "September Dawn". Again a story of truth, that the Mormon's continue to refuse to atone for or even acknowledge.
Oh sure, someone(an individual) had a good Divine insight and Revelation moment at various points in history, but after people organize around them in recognition of it, the Ego's take over and turn it all to garbage over time.
Cultish affliction: its in surely almost every single group I have looked at.

Tuesday 11am - MORE people have been in touch to say they saw
mysterious light as the earthquake hit on February 27.
Zoe Pope, 28, of Manby, said she was not sure what she had seen
until she read the Leader last week.
As reported, Jean Howard of Tathwell and a Sleaford couple
reported seeing flashes of light as the earthquake - with its
epicentre in Market Rasen - rumbled across the country.
Elvira Witney saw an even stranger phenomenon known as ball
lightning in her Westgate home.
Zoe said the flashes were like someone flicking their car
headlights at her window.
She said: "I woke up to the shaking and this bright light. My
friend and my sister thought I'd gone mad when I told them. It's
baffled me ever since then I saw The Leader."
David Cudworth, from Sutton in Ashfield in Nottinghamshire, saw
the story on our website.
He said: "I clearly remember three lightning flashes a few
minutes after the recent earthquake. My neighbours thought it was
torch lights but I remained 100 per cent convinced it was
lightning."
For centuries people have reported seeing flashes of light during
earthquakes but these were not taken seriously until the 1960s
when they were photographed.
Via: ipsnews:
At a mid-February meeting of top civilian officials over which Secretary of Defence Gates presided, there was an extensive discussion of a strategy of intimidating Tehran’s leaders, according to an account by a Pentagon official who attended the meeting given to a source outside the Pentagon. The plan involved a series of steps that would appear to Tehran to be preparations for war, in a manner similar to the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
But Fallon, who was scheduled to become the CENTCOM chief Mar. 16, responded to the proposed plan by sending a strongly-worded message to the Defence Department in mid-February opposing any further U.S. naval buildup in the Persian Gulf as unwarranted.
“He asked why another aircraft carrier was needed in the Gulf and insisted there was no military requirement for it,” says the source, who obtained the gist of Fallon’s message from a Pentagon official who had read it.
Fallon’s refusal to support a further naval buildup in the Gulf reflected his firm opposition to an attack on Iran and an apparent readiness to put his career on the line to prevent it. A source who met privately with Fallon around the time of his confirmation hearing and who insists on anonymity quoted Fallon as saying that an attack on Iran “will not happen on my watch”.
Asked how he could be sure, the source says, Fallon replied, “You know what choices I have. I’m a professional.” Fallon said that he was not alone, according to the source, adding, “There are several of us trying to put the crazies back in the box.”
Fallon’s opposition to adding a third carrier strike group to the two already in the Gulf represented a major obstacle to the plan. The decision to send a second carrier task group to the Gulf had been officially requested by Fallon’s predecessor at CENTCOM, Gen. John Abizaid, according to a Dec. 20 report by the Washington Post’s Peter Baker. But as Baker reported, the circumstances left little doubt that Abizaid was doing so because the White House wanted it as part of a strategy of sending “pointed messages” to Iran.
CENTCOM commander Fallon’s refusal to request the deployment of a third carrier strike group meant that proceeding with that option would carry political risks. The administration chose not to go ahead with the plan. Two days before the Nimitz sailed out of San Diego for the Gulf on Apr. 1, a Navy spokesman confirmed that it would replace the Eisenhower, adding, “There is no plan to overlap them at all.”
The defeat of the plan for a third carrier task group in the Gulf appears to have weakened the position of Cheney and other hawks in the administration who had succeeded in selling Bush on the idea of a strategy of coercive threat against Iran.
I heard the noise around 10:00am give or take a bit. Weather here was partly cloudy, not cold, low 40's or so. Sound definitely came from the west. My assistant heard it also. Funny thing there, I asked him about it and he immediately lit up as he remembered it. But, he had forgotten about it until I brought it up. Hmmmm. I wonder how many other people around here just forgot about it.
That weather is really weird ion. What is blue lightning? An oddity of a winter storm? I don't think I've ever heard of it.
Still got 600km/hr solar winds. Hang in there scarlet. :)

Sunking saked me to post this for him:
ericswan,
Interesting military news, re: Fallon and a 3rd carrier task force. Would be nice to think it's about common sense returning. But then, there's only so much room in the Persian Gulf and that would be putting a lot of 'eggs' in one basket...a real juicy target. But then that could be Cheney WANTING another 'Pearl Harbor'? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...... Some lawyer needs to accidently nail him in a 'hunting accident'.
re: Spitzer and 'honey trapping". I just find it questionable that the IRS & the FBI were both investigating him. TV tries to imply it was because they saw these large amounts of money being transferred. I find that somewhat....well, questionable.

If the US decided to legalize marijuana, they could grow it on government-owned farms and it would only cost about $1 a pack.

Scarlet,
In that 'haarpicane' article you posted, go to the bottom and see the satellite pic of the storm. Tell me you don't see a almost-skeleton-like 'face', looking off to the right, the face in torment, and the 'hair' blowing upwards. Eerie. If y'all can't see it, let me know, I'll post a pic and highlight it for you. Some tremendous pics from the Cornwall are there. And looks like 'trailers' everywhere are targets for the storm...not just in the south. (You remember that old saw? What's a tornado and a red-neck divorce got in common? Somebody's gonna lose a trailer!)

Sean David Morton was on Coast Tuesday night (wed morning) and talked about Admiral Fallon stepping down and the neocon plans to destroy Iran's infrastructure by pre-emptive attack either in the last part of March or the last part of October, under the guise of taking out Iran's alledged nuclear weapons program.
He also said his inside sources say Hillary is the chosen replacement for Bush by TPTB, and all the continuity of government executive orders set up by Bush are for Hillary to enact when the dollar tanks and food riots break out...
He also said the Ameros are already being printed in Denver as part of the plan to bring about the North American Union.

Hey Gort...You got the handle and it's not the big dipper.
Sunking..The article I posted was a year old. My bad. I was trying to present the case that Fallon was on the outside with the Bush admin as of Feb. 2007 when he opposed Cheney's move of another big boat into the Persian Gulf. The fact is Morton is right on the amero. Bush, Calderon, and Harper are doing a meet in N.O. in April as posted here, our mutual governments have signed on as of Feb. 14, to use each others military to solve domestic issues a.k.a. food shortages and no gas.
The fact that the American military can now enter Canada to solve our domestic issues for us and there is no mention or opposition from the other parties, tells me that we are going where no man has gone before.
That's all folks!

I firmly believe what was stated about Hillary. Many precedents were set under the Clinton 1st Dynasty that had to do with suppression of citizen revolt and out rights (remember the 'white militia' crisis?). The Glass-Stegall act of 1933 was revoked by Clinton, which allowed banks to become full-service financial institutions and, IMHO have led to the current mortgage issues.
Etc, etc, etc................

Brazilian protesters destroy GM crops: group
5 days ago
SAO PAULO (AFP) — Around 300 women rural residents in Brazil burst into a property owned by the US company Monsanto and destroyed a plant nursery and crops containing genetically modified corn, their organization said.
The women were protesting what they saw as environmental damage by the crops.
They trashed the plants within 30 minutes and left before police arrived at the site in the southern state of Sao Paulo, a member of the Landless Workers' Movement, Igor Foride, told AFP.
The Brazilian government had "caved in to pressure from agrobusinesses" by recently allowing tinkered crops to be grown in the country, he said.
In Brasilia, a protest by another 400 women from an umbrella group, Via Campesina (the Rural Way), was held in front of the Swiss embassy against Syngenta, a Swiss company that is selling genetically modified seeds in Brazil.
The demonstrators called attention to an October 2007 incident in which private guards working for Syngenta killed a protester taking part in an occupation of land owned by the company.
Via Campesina said in a statement that "no scientific studies exist that guarantee that genetically modified crops won't have negative effects on human health and on nature."
It added that on Tuesday, another 900 of its members had entered a property owned by the Swedish-Finnish paper giant Stora Enso and ripped out non-modified eucalyptus saplings they claimed were illegally planted

9 or 10 seconds into flight the nosecone of the shuttle apparently hit a bird!
That probably fell into the shuttle flames and was instantly falme broiled.
A true Phoenix moment!

That should read: "flame broiled."

BTW, one of the uses of hydrazine is as an antioxident.
So next time you're having some dark chocolate and Omega-3 fish oil, add a few drops of hydrazine, because one never has red wine with fish oil.

Sean David Morton. Sigh. This is the sort of person my blog is about in the fear mongering category. I've listened to him on C2C enough times that if his name popped up as a guest, I'd turn the radio off. This is just my opinion and people are free to disagree, but I think he's nothing but a fraud. He set up a huge red flag in my mind when he claimed involvement with Gene Roddenberry in some of the Star Trek movies. Having been a fan since 1966, I can recall no mention of him in anything related to the history of Star Trek. Looked through many books I have on the subject, no mention. Watched the end credits on video and don't see him there either.
This guy sets off every b.s. alarm in my head. To me, he's right up there with Sorcha Faal. (sorry ericswan)
He makes all of these predictions that George Noory always promises to grill him over, and they cut to a commercial and when they come back have changed the subject completely.

TAMPA — U.S. Central Command is slashing the staff of its Tampa headquarters by a third — about 1,100 personnel — even as it coordinates two wars in the Middle East, CentCom confirmed on Wednesday.
The move comes as a surprise to some Tampa Bay leaders who had received no notice of the decision by Adm. William Fallon, the CentCom chief who abruptly announced his resignation on Tuesday.
It is probably one of the largest staff reductions in the command's 25-year history and is a striking cut seldom seen in crucial military commands at a time of war.
A CentCom spokesman said the cuts have been under way for months and could be completed by May. They are part of a staff reassessment ordered by Fallon last June, three months after he took the CentCom helm.
They were not ordered by the Pentagon and are not the result of any budget shortfall, CentCom said.
"The boss asked us to look for ways to ensure we were using our human resources to the best efficiency," said Navy Capt. James Graybeal, a CentCom spokesman. "The reductions do not hamper the ability to do our jobs" or the war effort.
Some leading military analysts applauded Fallon's reductions, saying military commands have been top heavy since the days of Ulysses S. Grant.
"It's less interference for tactical units in the field," said Winslow Wheeler, director of the Straus Military Reform Project at the Center for Defense Information, a Washington think tank.
"The bozos 10,000 miles away pushing pins in a map that have nothing to do with reality — the fewer of those, the better," he said.
Some Tampa leaders were caught off guard. Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio has dined with Fallon. But the mayor said she had no idea CentCom, headquartered at MacDill Air Force Base, was trimming staff.
"If they have a need to cut back, I can't fault them for that," Iorio said. "Every organization needs to occasionally look at its structure and revenue. If they need to cut back, I can certainly relate to that."
Rep. C.W. Bill Young, R-Indian Shores, who has played a key role in bringing funding to MacDill, said he, too, hadn't heard, despite two conversations with Fallon last week.
"I'd rather look into this whole issue than make any snap judgments," Young said, declining to comment further. "This is news to me."

Fallon falls: Iran should worry
By Gareth Porter
WASHINGTON - Admiral William Fallon's request to quit his position as head of the US Central Command (CENTCOM) and to retire from the military was apparently the result of a George W Bush administration decision to pressure him to resign.
Announcing the resignation, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he believed it was "the right thing to do", thus indicating the administration wanted it. Gates added that it would be "ridiculous" to suggest that Fallon's resignation signaled that the US planned to go to war with Iran.
Gates said Fallon's position would be filled by his top deputy, Army Lieutenant General Martin Dempsey, until a permanent replacement was confirmed by the Senate.
On Monday, Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell, asked whether Gates still had full confidence in Fallon, would only say that Fallon "still enjoys a working - a good working relationship with the secretary of defense", and then added, "Admiral Fallon serves at the pleasure of the president."
The resignation came a few days after the publication of an Esquire magazine article profiling Fallon in which he was described as being "in hot water" with the White House and justified public comments departing from the Bush administration's policy toward Iran. The publicity that followed the article - titled The Man Between War and Peace - accelerated the pressure on Fallon to resign.
But "Fox" Fallon almost certainly knew that he would be fired when he agreed to cooperate with the Esquire magazine profile.
On Tuesday, Fallon issued a statement, "Recent press reports suggesting a disconnect between my views and the president's policy objectives have become a distraction at a critical time and hamper efforts in the CENTCOM region."
The resignation brings to an end a year during which Fallon clashed with the White House over policy toward Iran and with General David Petraeus and the White House over whether Iraq should continue to be given priority over Afghanistan and Pakistan in US policy.
Fallon's greatest concern appears to have been preventing war with Iran. He was one of a group of senior military officers, apparently including most of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who were alarmed in late 2006 and early 2007 by indications that Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney were contemplating a possible attack on Iran.
Gates chose Fallon to replace General John P Abizaid as CENTCOM chief shortly after a December 13, 2006 meeting between Bush and the Joint Chiefs at which Bush reportedly asked their views on a possible strike against Iran.
Colonel W Patrick Lang, a former intelligence officer on the Middle East for the Defense Intelligence Agency, told the Washington Post last week that Fallon had said privately at the time of his confirmation that an attack on Iran "isn't going to happen on my watch". When asked how he could avoid such a conflict, Fallon reportedly responded, "I have options, you know." Lang said he interpreted that comment as implying Fallon would step down rather than follow orders to carry out such an attack.
As Inter Press Service (IPS) reported last May, Fallon was also quoted as saying privately at that time, "There are several of us trying to put the crazies back in the box." That was an apparent reference to the opposition by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to an aggressive war against Iran.
Even before assuming his new post at CENTCOM, Fallon expressed strong opposition in mid-February to a proposal for sending a third US aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf, to overlap with two other carriers, according to knowledgeable sources. The addition of a third carrier was to be part of a broader strategy then being discussed at the Pentagon to intimidate Iran by making a series of military moves suggesting preparations for a military strike. The plan for a third carrier task force in the Gulf was dropped after Fallon made his views known.
Fallon reportedly made his opposition to a strike against Iran known to the White House early on in his tenure, and his role as CENTCOM commander would have made it very difficult for the Bush administration to carry out a strike against Iran, because he controlled all ground, air and naval military access to the region.
But Fallon's role in regional diplomacy proved to be an even greater source of friction with the White House than his position on military policy toward Iran. Personal relations with military and political leaders in the Middle East had already become nearly as important as military planning under Fallon's predecessors at CENTCOM.
Fallon clearly relished his diplomatic role and did not hesitate to express views on diplomacy that were at odds with those of the administration. Last summer, as Cheney was maneuvering within the administration to shift US policy toward an attack on bases in Iran allegedly connected to anti-US Shi'ite forces in Iraq, Fallon declared in an interview, "We have to figure out a way to come to an arrangement [with Iran]."
When Sunni Arab regimes in the Middle East became alarmed about the possibility of a US war with Iran, Fallon made statements on three occasions in September and November ruling out a US attack on Iran. Those statements contradicted the Bush administration's policy of keeping the military option "on the table" and soured relations with the White House.
Fallon also antagonized administration officials by pushing for a faster exit from Iraq than the White House and Petraeus wanted. Fallon had a highly-publicized personal and policy clash with Petraeus, for whom he reportedly expressed a visceral dislike. Sources familiar with reports of his meetings with Petraeus in Baghdad last March told IPS last spring that he called him an "ass-kissing little chickenshit" in their first meeting.
Fallon later denied that he had used such language, suggesting to Esquire that the sources of the report were probably army officers who were indulging in inter-service rivalry with the navy. In fact, however, the sources of the report were supporters of Fallon.
Fallon's quarrel with Petraeus was also related to the latter's insistence on keeping US troops in Iraq, even while the North Atlantic Treaty Organization position in Afghanistan was growing more tenuous. Fallon was strongly committed to a strategy that gave priority to Afghanistan and Pakistan as the central security challenges to the United States in the Middle East and Asia.
Fallon made his distaste for a long war in Iraq very clear from the beginning. He ordered subordinates to stop using the term "long war", which had been favored by the Bush administration. He was reported to be concerned that the concept would alienate people across the Middle East by suggesting a US intention to maintain troops indefinitely in Muslim countries.
Fallon's policy positions made him unpopular among neo-conservative supporters of the administration. One neo-conservative pundit, military specialist Max Boot, criticized Fallon last November for his public comment ruling out a strike against Iran and then suggested in January that Petraeus should replace the "unimpressive" Fallon at CENTCOM.
Fallon was playing a complex political game at CENTCOM by crossing the White House on the two most politically sensitive issues in Middle East policy. As a veteran bureaucratic infighter, he knew that he was politically vulnerable. Nevertheless, he chose late last year not to lower his profile but to raise it by cooperating fully with the Esquire article.
IPS has learned that Fallon agreed to sit for celebrity photographer Peter Yang at CENTCOM headquarters in Tampa on December 26 for the Esquire spread, despite the near-certainty that it would exacerbate his relations with the White House. That may have been a signal that he already knew that he would not be able to continue to play the game much longer and was ready to bring his stormy tenure at CENTCOM to an end.

I might as well go for post 200. So it just goes to show at the Bush White House that if you have the courage of your convictions you are most unwelcome. We'll probably never know to the extent Admiral Fallon may have saved all our lives by preventing war with Iran.
So, tell me again, what happens when you post the 201st comment?
