Seattle-area veteran’s suicide reflects troubling trend

Vatic Note:  What an inappropriate Title to an article like this one.  PLEASE, get this one around all over the country!  Its an obscenity and an outrage.  You cannot read this thing and not be both deeply affected by what this man went through and deeply outraged at the treatment these soldiers get for punishment,  its exactly like satanic ritual abuse.  This is obscene, barbaric,  inhumane and downright criminal.   If you can read this and not see that its time for us to take a stand no matter what,  then we are truly lost and deserve to go down.  Sorry but that is how I would see it if we are so desensitized to these kinds of inhumanity. WE ARE NOT ISRAEL AND WE NEVER WILL BE....  No wonder he did what he did.   Is this treatment intentional?  Are they trying to literally destroy our military in this manner???  If so, its time to begin at the top and do what needs to be done there.  They are damn lucky these soldiers are not fragging their officers who appear to be more of an enemy than the enemy they were sent to fight.  How ironic, this just came up on the vatic Quotes and it couldn't be more appropriate:

"The best rulers are scarcely known by their subjects;
The next best are loved and praised;
The next are feared;
The next despised:
They have no faith in their people,
And their people become unfaithful to them.
When the best rulers achieve their purpose
Their subjects claim the achievement as their own."
~ Tao Te Ching, 17 Rulers

Orrin Gorman McClellan is among the war casualties that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has just begun to track — young men and women who served in the post-9/11 military, and killed themselves after struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder and other war wounds

Local veteran’s suicide reflects troubling trend
By Hal Bernton in the Seattle Times
LANGLEY, Island Count

Orrin Gorman McClellan grew up among the alder and cedar that cover his family’s 11-acre homestead on Whidbey Island. He relished painting, music and acting, playing the star role of Toad in a local production of “The Wind in the Willows.”

McClellan seemed an unlikely Army recruit. But in the post-9/11 world, he responded to talk of honor, service and camaraderie. After graduating from high school, without informing his parents, McClellan signed up for three years of active duty.

He served in Afghanistan, where he lost friends to enemy bullets, picked up the body parts of blown-up soldiers and wrestled with the emotions unleashed by combat missions.

New York National Guard Units Scan Vehicles For Gun Confiscations

Vatic Note:  Are they getting ready for the "evacuation" of the Gulf and make sure the weapons do not accompany the evacuees???  Leave them in their homes so Blackwater can take them while your gone?  Who knows.  Just keep Stalin and Hitler in mind when you have to decide.  Does this look like an undeclared Martial law with soldiers on civilian streets in total violation of the posse comitatus law??? It does to me. So what are they getting ready for that is now planned? Another false flag? An extension of the Gulf false flag? Another Mossad operated terrorist dud bombing failure to scare the sheeple?? I know, the Occult dated war on 7/11/10. Could they be considering attacking Iran, then doing a mossad nuke from those missing from Britian that has been traced back to Israel to blame on Iran and then start the war??? Who knows, but this does not bode well for us. People, we better seriously start preparing since they are doing such a good job of preparing themselves for whatever they seem to have planned. Remember, the only terrorists in the country are sitting in the White House, WALL STREET BROKERAGE HOUSES  and congress as we saw from the economic terrorist threat by Paulson back last september. We even got that recorded on video tape and its been downloaded so even they can't hide it from a jury of any kind. Check out the pic and the video. Just thought of something. Maybe we have scared the Wall Street bankers??? Now that would bring us a lot of satisfaction if that were the case. LOL

New “war on drugs” program another alarming sign that America is under martial law





Paul Joseph Watson

Wednesday, July 7, 2010

The New York National Guard is working with local law enforcement authorities to perform sophisticated scans of vehicles entering the New York area looking for guns and drugs in the latest alarming example of how America is under a state of de facto martial law.

Under the umbrella of the “war on drugs” and in complete violation of Posse Comitatus, National Guard units in New York are engaged in a “domestic fight” targeting American citizens with new ionization swabbing technology that enables them to “find drugs or weapons” via undervehicle inspections of cars based on the flimsiest of pretexts.

America, Where Freedom Once Thrived

Vatic Note:  This is not only very  powerful stuff, but its true.  When you read it, you will know it and only we can fix it.  No one else.  Remember, our leaders reflect us, the voters.  We MUST face that which we do not want to see.  Or else all is lost.  These men said it far more powerfully than I could ever dream to do.  Please read it and heed it.  Its that time.  No more delays.

Vatic Contributor Note:  After reading "Where America Once Thrived" I am torn between agreement and disagreement -- the disagreement stemming from the fact that in Jim Kirwan America still thrives. From the bitter comes the sweet. Have either you or I ever loved freeom or America more than in this dark hour?

The country has great need of your eyes. Why am I just now seeing Kirwanesque website for the first time? I have only received your e-mails -- thinking that like me you were "writing on the sand".

Unfortunately all of us are being forced to write in the ever shifting sands of a time that is rapidly slipping through our fingers. Thanks for this, but none of what I've written over the last ten years ought to have been necessary (for anyone to write) if we had been a nation that bears any similarity to what this government claims we are. Here's a two-part article about the missing-in-action silver-bullets that should have prevented what is now commonplace.

Anyway thank you for this essay honoring our country with this call to come out of evil.

With gratitude, admiration and friendship

America, Where Freedom Once Thrived
With modifications from the agenda of the NOW & the NAU
By Jim Kirwan, Rense.com, Contributed to Vatic Project by Dick Eastman
7-7-8

"The Stars and Stripes have changed their spots; Now pentagrams and bars enshrine a mockery of tongues,
And courage shares the darkness, With the corpse of private conscience.  Where dialogue and discourse thundered, Cowardice now crawls across an overcrowded floor.

Doorway's once flung so wide in confidence,  Are now shuttered, bugged and barred, in terror: Of the hunger in the world outside.   The wolf of violence prowls beneath our bolted windows

Watching Justice sell herself on every corner;  While we beneath our private feather-beds of folly,  Mumble condemnations of the 'cancers' in our systems. . .

Observe this kneeling nation, clinging to our 'toys of plenty'  Crying out in darkness for release from all responsibility,  For what has come to pass.  While heedlessly we watch the rape of yesterday's required,
To subsidize the plunder of 'the tomorrow's of our lives.'

Thoughts of war Veterans On Independance Day

Vatic Note:  This had to be done.   Its heartbreaking and important that those of us who have not suffered the affects of war on the aggressor side, need to see, read, and hear.   Please, please read both these mens commentaries.  Thank you and God Bless these men for their contribution and good conscience and undue suffering for having to go into hiding along with all the horrors of war they have experienced that they knew was an unjust war after they got there and then did the right thing when they could.  This was provided to VATIC PROJECT BY CHUCK WILSON, contributor to Snardfarkers Blog.  He is a Viet Nam veteran made ill by Agent Orange, who has suffered 40 years with his illnesses, even more after the war than during, if that is possible.  He is one of the most kind, generous and suffering souls I have ever met, so please feel what these men are going through by themselves since none of us can ever understand until we have been there, thus they are forced to suffer in isolation and loneliness from lack of any understanding both mentally, emotionally, "spiritually" and physically.  Such precious souls have we among us, that we have not appreciated since its become beyond our capacity to relate or empathize.  We must feel these commentaries and achieve understanding that ITS NOW UP TO US, AND NO ONE ELSE, since we have done this to ourselves.  Thus we must fix it.  No one else must pay anymore for our folly. 

First Vets Comment (Anonymous)
Dear chuck ,

The 4th of July is a mixed experience for veterans. While it is often looked at as a day to honor us, we often can be found indoors while civilians are out enjoying the fireworks. In his blogpost below, our friend, Ryan Harvey, reflects on his own experience of this year's 4th of July celebration. Ryan is a musician and an organizer with the Civilian Soldier Alliance, IVAW's main organizing partner in our GI and Veterans Bill of Rights Campaign. He is based in Baltimore, Maryland.

Here is the commentary written by the second Vet:

Is it About Independence, Or Explosions?

Thoughts and Analysis on July 4th at 1:16 AM
by Ryan Harvey, Civilian Soldier Alliance

I sat on the stone wall that lines Druid Lake tonight and watched Baltimore destroyed by bombs. I watched tracers light up the sky, followed by the deep pulse of distant explosions.


I watched huge clouds of smoke rise from downtown, escaping from the flaming buildings. I saw explosions as far as Dundalk, Curtis Bay, and Morgan State. I saw light emerging from deep in the West Side, illuminating the trees that line the park.

I saw the Belvedere Hotel hit by a series of missiles, a huge flame bursting out the East wall. I remembered when the bartender there took me and a friend on the roof to see the best 360 degree view I'd ever seen of the city. I wondered if he would survive the attack.

Then a huge bomb fell into the apartment building at Howard and 28th, sending a large cloud of smoke into the air. I could only imagine the horrors inside as elderly residents tried to escape the flames. I watched cars crossing the 29th St. bridge fired on by helicopters that then continued on their way into Remington. I watched mortar fire land in the houses of Reservoir Hill that face the park, and heard the sounds of gunfire from the streets behind them.

It was a total nightmare, something I never wanted to experience. Thankfully, it was mostly in my head. It was the Fourth of July, and celebratory explosions were popping off all over the city.

But I wasn't celebrating, I was mourning. The fireworks reminded me not of 1776 or 1812, but of 2003, when I watched an almost identical scene on the TV news. I thought not of British Redcoats, but of U.S. Soldiers and Marines. I was watching a re-run of Shock And Awe, the massive bombing campaign the U.S. unleashed on Baghdad on March 19th, 2003.

I texted a friend, a former National Guardsman who participated in the initial invasion of Iraq. I told him I was thinking of Baghdad, watching the city light up, and I asked how he was. He said he was "in hiding," not interested in being taken back to that place again, at least, not this year.

GORDON DUFF: BROKEN ARROW, THE MOST DANGEROUS WEAPONS OF ALL

Vatic Note: This is a must read. The missing nukes and the entire scandel over the valerie Plame affair is not what it was presented to be, What was done there was pure treason when you read about why she was outted and what her job was that caused the sabbateans to go after her. I thank God for Gordon Duff, an outstanding and courageous veteren and I applaud his courage in standing up to the biggest enemies of this country who have done more harm and horrors to America than any other nation on earth and they are proud of it. That includes the Gulf as most of us already know. Well, that is about to end after reading this story and I think you will feel the same way too. The Valerie Plame affair is just the tip of the iceberg, there are other such instances of betrayal by our so called friends, that I was speechless to say the least.   I am especially presenting this to all my Veteren friends all over the nation. Please read this since this is exactly what all us vets took the oath to prevent or stop and that is to defend this country/constitution against all enemies BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. With friends like this who the hell needs enemies. My Goodness, I had no idea, it is worse than even I thought and I was pretty doggone close, but this seals it for real. It truly is time to rally.


THE HUNT FOR THE MISSING NUKES AND THOSE THAT COVERED IT UP
http://mycatbirdseat.com/2010/07/gordon-duff-broken-arrow-the-most-dangerous-weapons-of-all/
02. Jul, 2010, Gordon Duff, Veterans Today

There are nuclear weapons out there, maybe in terrorists hands, two or five, as many as seven or more. Iran and North Korea didn’t build them. North Korea’s nuclear program is a sham and Iran may simply be a scapegoat. Iran is not building nuclear weapons, they don’t possess the necessary centrifuges to enrich uranium. Using their available technology, a nuclear weapon could not be produced in a century.

However, the threat of nuclear terrorism is very real, the facts are there but America is sitting on the truth. Remember three names, Valerie Plame and Dr. David Kelly and Mordechai Vanunu. Plame was “burned” as an American spy, burned by the Bush administration. Vice President Cheney’s Chief of Staff, “Scooter” Libby (Liebowitz) was convicted of the crime but received a pardon from President Bush.

Plame wasn’t looking for “yellow cake” uranium from Niger, she was looking for lost nuclear weapons. When she got close, she was destroyed and then silenced by the Justice Department. Dr. David Kelly was a weapons scientist in Britain until his very unexpected suicide while trying to report wrongdoing tied to missing nuclear weapons, wrongdoing he attributed directly to Prime Minister Tony Blair. A secret investigation currently being conducted has ruled his death a murder and top members of government, from Blair downward are being grilled about, not only this, but missing nuclear weapons, a subject newspapers are being threatened to stay silent on daily.

Mordechai Vanunu is a nuclear weapons specialist who worked at the illegal Dimona facility in Israel. When he fled the country and alerted the world about the nuclear program there, he was kidnapped, returned to Israel and put in solitary confinement for 18 years. He has been under house arrest or in solitary confinement after his release. He is currently locked in a small cell in a secret prison in Israel for talking to someone not on his official list of contacts.

These three people and a number of people behind them hold the key to the biggest story in recent years, a massive worldwide coverup so frightening it is treated almost as though it was involved secret UFO landings. Not everyone has all the information. Some key figures are waiting for the results of the investigations going on in London now, the findings of which will be above top secret.

Stories are leaking out and some have been reported over the years, labeled “conspiracy theory” but partially accurate, at least in some of the most frightening facts, but also filled with conjecture and wrong conclusions. The same stories went to all the major news sources along with documents and reliable first hand testimony from people like, well, Dr. David Kelly, murder victim.

There is nothing more dangerous than a journalist in love with their own ideas. Anything can be falsified, as we saw in the videos Israel released after the Mavi Marmara incident showing cheap special effects with people walking through walls. Any piece of paper, using simple technology, can be created with ease and any person interviewed can lie, most do, especially those with political or military careers. What has happened is that journalists in the United Kingdom and around the world have been receiving information, some from highly placed sources, first person testimony and much backed by documentation. The results haven’t been a solid conspiracy but a mosaic of facts, some proven, some very likely and some questionable.

As a reader, a citizen and a person concerned for the safety of family and friends, the information if shocking but incomplete. Let’s start with what we know.

THE STORY UNFOLDS

The story isn’t about politics as much as the international trade in weapons. As weapons, particularly the “mass destruction” kind, can alter history, the politics are sure to follow. We will start with Israel, the first “high threat” small nation to have nuclear weapons. A fact we know is that Britain, in the 1960s, sold a small amount of plutonium to Israel for use in experiments in nuclear weapon design. Prime Minister Harold Macmillan authorized this extremely illegal act. We also know that the CIA informed President Kennedy that Israel was building nuclear weapons at their “peaceful” Dimona reactor. Kennedy demanded to inspect the reactor, a demand refused. By far, the most likely reason for the killings of John and Robert Kennedy was their opposition to these weapons. All other reasons given, when even examined superficially, are simply silly.

What we do know for sure is that people who have held evidence on Israeli involvement in the Kennedy killings have been subjected to decades of well documented assaults, everything from stalking to murder of family members. Documentation on this is extensive and has long been in the hands of federal authorities up to and including the President of the United States.

There is considerable evidence that “Israeli Firsters” in the United States shipped significant amounts of plutonium to Israel. When the information leaked out, cover stories listing 6.5 tons were put out by Israel as part of their “junkyard dog” scare tactics. However, the figures on bomb production given to the British press by Mordechai Vanunu indicate that US produced fissionable material has made up the basis for Israel’s nuclear arsenal.

In addition, the Soviet Union is believed to have delivered tactical nuclear weapons to Israel in return for information supplied by Israeli spy, Jonathan Pollard, information such as launch codes, NATO battle plans, locations of American strategic weapons and the names of every CIA operative in the world. The US admits that 110 CIA agents lost their lives because of Israeli spying in the 1980s.  (VN: Here is a quote that fits right here and appropriately so:  "Once we squeeze all we can out of the United States, it can dry up and blow away." - Benjamin Netanyahu. A comment made by Netanyahu to Jonathan Pollard (convicted traitor and spy) upon exiting Pollard's jail cell.

When the US took the Davy Crockett shoulder fired nuclear weapons out of service, some of these were transferred to Israel, though how, we have no idea. These were shown to US military officers on a “top secret” tour a few years ago and some familiar with out dated US weapons recognized them as American. The internet experts who continually rant on about the smallest nuclear weapon weighing three tons or more need to know that “Special Weapons Officers” regularly parachute with “nuclear munitions.”

During the 1970s, Israel and South Africa joined in a program to develop, not only nuclear weapons but biological and chemical weapons as well. Working closely with them were the following countries: Iran, Libya, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union and North Korea.

We know for certain that ten nuclear weapons were built in South Africa, six of which were dismantled, one tested on September 22, 1979. Of the remaining three, one was detonated in North Korea on May 25, 2009. The three weapons, at the time in possession of Great Britain, 1991, were stolen and the whereabouts of the remaining two “Hiroshima sized” nuclear weapons is unknown. We also know, for certain, that Israel informed the Bush administration that these weapons were in the possession of Saddam Hussein, information that led to the invasion of Iraq. This information was totally false. Israel then told the US, while the invasion was on, that the weapons were being moved to Syria. This was also false, proven by US detection devices. Israel has since claimed these remaining nuclear weapons are either in Iran, Syria, Lebanon or Gaza.

A fact, Pakistan has never been involved in nuclear proliferation and Dr. A. Q. Khan is a patsy covering for another group at the demand of the United States. This is not conjecture.

When news services were told that 3 more nuclear weapons, thermonuclear W69 warheads, 3 or as many as 8, had “gone missing” from a damaged B-52 that crashed off Diego Garcia in 1990, few took it seriously, especially after vigorous denials by the United States. These weapons are plutonium based hydrogen bombs, out dated at the time, unstable and requiring regular servicing to replace the tritium gas necessary to trigger the second stage that makes these so much more deadly than simple fission devices.

The stories about these weapons have been reported in one variation or another for years with fact and fancy mixed to the point where no one takes this threat seriously. The stories of these missing American hydrogen bombs has been sent to every major news service in the world. Some don’t believe the stories and others have been threatened if they attempt to publish them. When we were told these weapons, three American hydrogen bombs, were ejected from a B-52 off the coast of Somalia we found the idea unlikely. When the names of those involved in the recovery, shipment and sale came up and we were able to directly verify many of the facts, we began to reconsider.

Aging hydrogen bombs are useless unless “recharged” every seven years, something only a nuclear state is capable of. However, they can be used for weapons such as the August 18, 2006 North Korean plutonium bomb that failed. North Korea is incapable of producing any plutonium, thus a plutonium bomb, especially one that proved ineffective, such as this one with an explosion of less than one kiloton, may have been a “Rube Goldberg” device made from an unserviced American weapon, in fact this is extremely likely. With North Korea exploding one fully verified nuclear weapon build by Israel and South Africa and an earlier failure that was certainly an aging unserviced device from another nuclear power, a pattern emerges. Some country is supplying North Korea with weapons to publicly test, for the purpose of creating political instability in the world.

Four nations are being actively investigated for these violations: South Africa, Pakistan, Israel and Iran.

There is no scientific proof, not available for publishing, that establishes the first plutonium device detonated by North Korea in 2006 as being an American W-69. However, intelligence agencies, since 1990, have scoured the planet offering nuclear triggering devices to any buyer, as part of sting operations. It is believed by many that Dr. A. Q. Khan of Pakistan assisted in this intelligence effort.

With a proper triggering device, even an aging W69 warhead could be converted from its thermonuclear state to a configuration similar to the bomb dropped on Nagasaki, but much more powerful.

CURRENT BRITISH EFFORTS

Britain’s concern is the Israeli/South African weapons, three of which it took into possession in 1990. Current Prime Minister David Cameron, then a member of parliament, was involved in the negotiations and Dr. David Kelly made the arrangements.

Funding authorizations were signed personally by Margaret Thatcher in a classified document referring to the bombs as “cylinders.”

We are told by informants tied to the highest levels of the British security services that the current closed hearings are not just to determine who is responsible for the death of Dr. David Kelley, who we have also been informed was not just ready to inform on Tony Blair falsifying intelligence leading up to the war but on much wider areas.

The David Kelley “suicide” is one of the most famous in British history. Kelley is said to have killed himself after being attacked on the BBC for saying Tony Blair lied about WMD’s. Were people who know Tony Blair to have lied to have killed themselves, all of them, our planet might today be barren of human life entirely. Kelley’s involvement in South Africa was twofold. He investigated relationships between Russia and the Mossad in South Africa tied to, not only the manufacture of illegal germ warfare weapons but their use as well.

The South Africa Truth Commission outlined instances where bio-weapons were deployed in Africa in a program involving Israel, Libya and Russia. The program which also developed a number of crop diseases is said to have relocated, not to Iraq as claimed, but to Israel. In fact, all of the programs said by Bush and Blair to have been in Iraq were, in fact, South African and later relocated in Israel. Iraq had used bio-weapons and gas but had purchased these weapons from brokers involved in Iran-Contra with ties to, not only South Africa and Rhodesia but Israel and the United States as well.

The South African Truth Commission also released in their report that the United States, not only purchased poison gas from South Africa but deployed it in Iraq, gas which may well have indirectly poisoned hundreds of thousands of American soldiers. Invoices for purchases of BZ gas by the United States and evidence of its use in Iraq are currently in the public domain.  (VN:  Killing our soldiers is thus intentional, a betrayal of the worst kind by those whose orders these men followed to their deaths, this is obscene and beyond satanic)

THE KELLY DEATH

The Kelly death, though ruled a suicide despite the fact all forensic evidence indicated otherwise, was actually blamed on Iraq by Ahmed Chalabi, fabricator of much of the false evidence NATO troops followed across Iraq, from one imaginary sight to another in their fruitless search for weapons labs, a story outlined in the recent film, Green Zone. Kelley was found in a wooded area in Oxfordshire, an area 40 some miles outside London. Around the body were packets of harmless arthritis medications and a half filled bottle of Evian spring water. Autopsy results show a minuscule amount of medication in his body and injuries inflicted by a dull kitchen paring knife, injuries not potentially fatal. Kelly had told of being stalked by security services, of a recent break-in and how he had been warned to keep silent or he faced being “found dead in the woods somewhere.”

Informants who tie this murder to weapons of mass destruction, some to Israeli involvement and others to stolen nuclear weapons sold to North Korea, a crime Israel is suspected of, have amazing pedigrees. Nearly all are full fledged “James Bond” types from the highest levels of the intelligence services or directly tied to companies long involved in support of covert operations. This is a group of people who have “royals” on speed dial.

THE “BUSH-BLAIR” FACTOR

The missing nuclear weapons that Dr. David Kelly was directly involved in moving from South African and Israeli hands to British custody are one of the biggest secrets in recent history. That they were stolen and one of the weapons exploded in North Korea, a fact verified by western intelligence services, would be a security concern but is also a serious crime. Britain has a law called The Nuclear Explosions Act. This law states that if any “British resident” has knowledge of a nuclear explosion not involved in a war, they may be imprisoned for life, initially even without trial. The purpose of the law was to punish any British citizen or resident who got involved in trading nuclear weapons or hiding information.

One British citizen is at the center of this enquiry, former Prime Minister Tony Blair, tied to allegations that he had been briefed in 1997 about missing nuclear weapons and failed to act to recover them. Stories coming in list mysterious campaign donations, millions, from foreign arms dealers, not just to Blair but even earlier on, funding John Major’s campaign as well. The British “spooks” pressing stories on the papers, stories still largely suppressed, have much of Britain’s government involved in running interference for these illicit nuclear weapons.  (VN:  Rothschild, the declared King of Israel,  runs the british government as we have proven in previous blogs)

Remember, there are two sets, one heading out of Oman, the “Hiroshima” sized nukes and the other out of Somalia. This is where it gets tricky. Word out of Somalia confirms, not only a possible recovery of nukes, done by a South African diving group claiming to be on a treasure hunt and more confirmations have prominent white South African politicians contacting sources for, not only triggers but special equipment to load and ship the weapons as well, dealing with companies known and backed by reliable testimony.

Another story says the US went after these nukes when they were shipping through Kenya and blew up an embassy blaming Osama bin Laden. No hard confirmations but they are expected. If this is true, everything Americans have been told about Al Qaeda is a total fiction, covering a “broken arrow” operation that has been ongoing for well over two decades.

AMERICAN SILENCE, NO INVESTIGATION, NO NEWS, NOTHING BUT COVERUP

When “lost nuke” recovery team leader Valerie Plame was framed by Republicans close to President Bush, was this to cover Bush or Tony Blair or Israel. The Plame “outing” puts the lost nukes in Israel. None of the other possible countries that could be holding the weapons would get White House protection. Plame got too close but couldn’t be murdered like Dr. David Kelly, not with a husband that had the kind of political connections that Plame has.

How many stories in the news have been nothing but cover for one half baked attempt after another to recover nuclear weapons that may be in South Africa, perhaps at the bottom of a mine with the Israeli nuclear arsenal rumored to be stored there? Remember when a B-52 filled with nukes showed up at Barksdale Air Force Base, all by accident, a “bent arrow” misplaced nuke gambit supposedly a mutiny of top Air Force officials who refused to take part in moving these weapons forward to Diego Garcia? Ever wonder why such a story was never made into a movie of the week for the Hallmark Channel?

No, the end of the story isn’t here. Investigations are ongoing, only in Britain. We will never know what they reveal, well, that’s not true. I will get a call. Will I hear the truth?

Tar balls reach Texas -- every Gulf state now touched

Vatic Note: Please go to the link and check out the pictures at the top and the writing "within" the frame that holds  the pictures. The photos are listed inside the box #1, 2, 3. Each has also writing below "within" the box, telling you what you are looking at.  I bring this up because those pics and writing "within" the box cannot be copied or downloaded  like you can with other pics   Its the third one that shows the so called flow from a leak on the floor of the gulf. The "note" "within" the box says it was taken live stream on July 6, and yet if you look at the still of the flow and the writing accross the pic it says May 7, 2010, not July 6. Since they purge their mistakes and this particular way they have everything set up in that picture box with no ability for us to copy or retain the facts, it makes it easy for them to change what we discover or expose, so that is why I asked you to go there first to see for yourself.  Now why change and say the date is recent???  I do not understand the logic behind that?  . What I suspect is this;  if we catch something  we have no copy to prove what it was. That is why I am saying to check out the link before reading the article and see the date discrepancy before they correct it, fix it or change it.


As for the tar balls, We pointed out that on the Pensecola beach only tar balls and no regular oil were shown from visitors pics. We also reported this was a controlled released leak by BP so they could scare us into buying off  using a killer chemical in the gulf in the millions of gallons to justify it. This explains why today they mention the oil tar balls themselves AND why they criminalized taking pictures, since those pics support the leak that came out about their scam. That definitely fits with our Whistleblowers explanation of what happened and how this is a totally controlled leak on purpose to give the impression of a big massive dangerous spill so everyone will become afraid and leave the area. Then Obama's Big multimillion dollar contract to Blackwater can go into effect by them going and collecting the guns house to empty house exactly like they did in New Orleans. I don't care what they "say" the contract is for since he already has a 2 million dollar contract for Afghanistan. They did the same thing in NO, under a different contract that was simply modified to allow payment for taking guns from people.

I consider this article another support proving that tar oil volcanoes are common and less dangerous than regular ones simply because they have organisms that eat the oil and will ensure the recovery of the Gulf once they have complete control of it at the shoreline. More and more is coming out that more and more supports the whistleblowers leak to the alternative press about what was really going on. Do we believe its still dangerous there? yes, Corexit is an intentional chemical weapon being used to do the job they hoped we would believe was the result of some far fetched accident. They always have multiple agendas as we have noticed and this one is a land grab as well as a gun grab and an RFID chipping as we pointed out yesterday with the intentions of Texas to do exactly that and TODAY, HERE IT IS, THE TAR BALLS HAVE REACHED TEXAS NOW RIGHT AFTER OUR STORY ON THEIR EVACUATION PROJECT WITH RFID/GPS tracking. Nice, huh?

Tar balls reach Texas -- every Gulf state now touched
Staff and Wire reports

More than two months after oil from BP's blown-out sea floor well first reached Louisiana, tar balls are now washing onto a Texas beach, meaning the crude has arrived in every Gulf state.

Oil is still on the move, but the fleet of skimmers tapped to clean the worst-hit areas of the Gulf of Mexico is not. A string of storms has made the water too choppy for the boats to operate for more than a week off Florida, Alabama and Mississippi, even though the gusher continues.

Speaking in an interview with CNN this morning, Ret. Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said that a massive Taiwanese oil skimmer -- which has been undergoing testing -- was slow to maneuver in the area crowded with small vessels.

Testing of the ship -- called ``A Whale'' and billed as being capable of sucking up 21 million gallons of oil water a day -- is still ``inconclusive,'' Allen said.

Meanwhile, the number of tar balls discovered in Texas is tiny compared to what has coated beaches in other Gulf states.

``It was just a matter of time that some of the oil would find its way to Texas,'' said Hans Graber, a marine physicist at the University of Miami and co-director of the Center for Southeastern Tropical Advanced Remote Sensing.

Hurricane Alex, which blew through the Gulf last week and made landfall along the border between Texas and Mexico, may have played a small role in bringing the oil ashore in Texas by increasing the westerly current near land, Graber said. But it was more likely due to normal coastal currents and local weather patterns.

NOAA scientists are looking at local weather, Hurricane Alex and Gulf vessels as possible sources for the tar balls, agency spokeswoman Monica Allen said Monday.

The distance between the western reach of the tar balls in Texas and the most eastern reports of oil in Florida is about 550 miles. Oil was first spotted on land near the mouth of the Mississippi River on April 29.

The spill is also reaching deeper into Louisiana. Strings of oil were seen Monday in the Rigolets, one of two waterways that connect the Gulf with Lake Pontchartrain, the large lake north of New Orleans.

The news of the spill's reach comes at a time when most of the offshore skimming operations in the Gulf have been halted by choppy seas and high winds. A tropical system that had been lingering off Louisiana flared up Monday afternoon, bringing heavy rain and winds.

Choppy seas have temporarily foiled attempts to see if the giant oil skimmer can be a silver bullet for cleanup efforts in the Gulf of Mexico.

Bob Grantham, spokesman for Taiwanese shipping firm TMT, says ``A Whale'' will need further testing off the coast of Louisiana.

Grantham says testing will resume as soon as the water is calmer.

Rough seas also kept clean-up vessels idle off the coasts of Florida, Alabama and Mississippi over the holiday weekend, officials said. The current spate of bad weather is likely to last well into this week, according to the National Weather Service.

``A Whale'' had undergone tests in a patch of water close to the wellhead over the weekend as the government tried to determine the vessel's effectiveness. The ship is also awaiting approval from the Environmental Protection Agency.

Miami Herald reporters Jaweed Kaleem, Jim Wyss, Fred Tasker and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Obama Presidency: An Unfolding Disaster

Vatic Note:  Well, add this to the WSJ hit piece on Obama, and I would say something is definitely amiss.  Keep watching, since it means there is infighting going on between elite groups with similar agendas.  Hopefully this results in some relief for us.  What is interesting about this write up, is its pretty honest, direct, and brutal.  He is a black man who is assessing this President and its from a different perspective and I enjoyed reading it from someone elses perspective in time and place.   He is articulate and right about his honest assessment, not one thing he mentions can not be proven true by evidence.   I give this man an ovation for his honesty and integrity.  Having said all that, my next question is what does this mean for us.  He would not have reached print had it not been acceptable and further, "why did he wait til now and why right behind the WSJ hitpiece?"   That means more to me than this giving us,  what we all out here already know. 

The Obama Presidency: An Unfolding Disaster

“You must be the historians who keep this lesson alive because this story isn’t about one day, one event, one person, or even one lifetime… Pass this knowledge. Don’t forget. Not ever.”
- Leonard Peltier

A vast amount of this nation’s populace is as addicted to media hype as they are to oil. In this instance however, it is the government and the corporate media who are the kingpin pushers and the U.S. populace who are their hooked junkies.

Corporate government media spin, subterfuge, diversion, and outright lies are the continuing hallmarks of this nation’s institutions and of this present dishonest and insidiously pathetic Barack Obama presidency of unmitigated disaster. The Government and corporate media would not tell the truth even if their lives depended on it. Unfortunately, it is not their lives but those of everyday Black, Red, Brown, White, and Yellow peoples in this nation and throughout the world, who daily are being sacrificed on the bloody alter of chicanery and political expediency, on behalf of the wealthy elite.

Pertaining to the election and installment of Barack Obama as U.S. president almost a year and a half ago, a recent article disingenuously lamented that “we voted for a [hybrid Toyota] Prius but instead got a tank.” However, the fact is that the instant that virtually the entire U.S. corporate media and corporate / military establishment began throwing their support behind the then U.S. presidential candidacy of Barack Obama, even a dead man could have smelled a rat. In yet another recent article, a so-called ‘progressive’ bemoaned the lack of serious coverage of the U.S. Social Forum in Detroit, Michigan, by the “mainstream” media, totally disregarding the obvious reality that this nation does not have a “mainstream” media. It has an embedded corporate-stream one.

As this Nobel “Peace” Prize holding conjurer, Barack Obama, has intensified the corporate empire’s war in Afghanistan, heightened the war in Pakistan [complete with unmanned killer drone missiles], and continued the war in and occupation of Iraq; corporate media pundits endlessly spin their webs of deceit. Even as Obama’s smug arrogance, his lack of governmental regulation and oversight of avaricious corporations, and his de facto servitude to the corporate elite has spawned the largest environmental, ecological, and concomitant economic oil-volcano (Gulf of Mexico) disaster in the history of this nation, corporate media pundits continue spinning their webs of diversion, omission, and deceit.

It was not enough that as president, Obama fully supported the criminal bail-out of the Wall Street elite, but he then went on to torpedo much needed single payer universal health care for the everyday populace of this nation - at the behest of the massive corporate insurance industry’s elite. If the Bush / Cheney regime was the inarticulate ‘Ivan the Terrible,’ then the Obama / Biden regime is assuredly a very articulate ‘Attila the Hun’ dipped in noxious perfume, which translates into more pain and blood of everyday people in this nation and around the world.

Think about it! Our schools, libraries, transportation, and public & private sector jobs, etc. are being eliminated while billions upon endless billions of dollars are spent on U.S. wars abroad which do not stop “terrorists” - but in fact enhances and gives birth to “terrorism.” This of course, is notwithstanding the fact that U.S. actions in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and elsewhere are in themselves state sponsored terrorism, with everyday people as the corporate / military cannon fodder; and terrorism begets terrorism. This is nothing more than cynically calculated disaster against the poor and what there is left of the U.S. middle class. Continuing the economic horrors of his predecessor in all but name, Obama is steadily in the process of wiping out the middle class in this nation - all in the very name [and rhetoric] of protecting it. As the gap rapidly widens between rich and poor in this nation, Obama, grinning like an articulate, cunning, Cheshire cat lauds his fake accomplishments, as if he has actually brought about some kind of “change we can believe in.” What rubbish! This is just more of the same - only worse.

Moreover, in the fairly recent debacle with U.S. General Stanley McChrystal, Obama did not simply ‘miss’ the opportunity to change the course of the war and begin a withdrawal of the U.S. military and corporate mercenaries from Afghanistan. He flagrantly and studiously ignored and avoided it! Obama knew precisely what he was doing.

To add insult to injury, Obama and the corporate media are now telling us that we did not really hear that which we know Obama said concerning beginning a military withdrawal from Afghanistan in July 2011. In typical Obama obfuscated, double-speak fashion, he now disavows his statement that the U.S. would begin to “start the pull out” in July of 2011. [Reference ‘Obama Disavows July 2011 Afghan Drawdown Date’ ]

This is of course reminiscent of May, 2009, when Obama reneged on and reversed his pledge to release photos depicting the torture of prisoners by the U.S. military in Iraq. Had Barack Obama actually had real concern for the safety and well being of U.S. men and women military personnel, which concern he claimed prompted him to reverse his pledge to the ‘American’ people, he would have at bare minimum, begun the withdrawal of U.S. troops, instead of continuing the war and occupation of Iraq, and increasing U.S. troops in Afghanistan. Clearly, Obama is a shrewd, calculating, pathological liar - albeit an articulate one. Make no mistake about it! Iran is the next military target for U.S. imperialism and Israeli apartheid-Zionism, further opening the gates of hell.

A manufactured pretext will be conveniently provided, and a military attack will ensue against Iran sooner or later. Does anyone remember the U.S. manufactured ‘Gulf of Tonkin’ incident pertaining to the bloody, undeclared war against the people of Vietnam?! Does anyone remember the fabricated ‘weapons of mass destruction’ pretext for bloody war against and occupation of Iraq?! Does anyone remember just a few short weeks ago, when the Obama / Biden regime fabricated details surrounding the sinking of the South Korean warship ‘Cheonan’ as a pretext and an attempt to intimidate and provoke conflict with both North Korea and China?! Remember these things well. As wrongfully imprisoned American Indian Movement [AIM] Leonard Peltier so poignantly said it: “Don’t forget. Not ever.”

Yet, White liberals, phony so-called ‘progressives, and biologically Black misleaders continue to be apologists for, and collaborators with, the Obama / Biden regime, stoically ignoring the ongoing and increased human, economic, and ecological disasters that said regime is heaping upon the peoples of this nation and world as it reeks unholy havoc upon us.

Barack Obama is in fact, shrewdly facilitating and overseeing the dismantling, not of the U.S. corporate / military empire, but rather of the economic and political human rights and legitimate needs of everyday Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow peoples in this nation. It is for this purpose that the corporate / military establishment and the corporate media ensured that Barack Obama was installed in the White House. This is an increasingly obvious disaster not for the wealthy elite who already have homes, villas, gated mansions, yachts, and cushioned financial holdings all over the world. It is however, a horrible disaster for everyday common folks in this nation and around this planet.

The July 4th, 2010, U.S. “Independence” Day celebration, is unfortunately and in reality, a macabre and equally blissful celebration of the successful corporate enslavement of everyday people of all colors in this nation. It is the theater of the absurd. Even as Barack Obama articulates hollow praises to the greatness of everyday common folks in this nation, he is busily furthering the political, economic, and ecological demise of them / us. Yes, it is the theater of the absurd and sad on so very many levels. We everyday people have yet to gain “independence” and freedom from the elite corporate / military masters of this nation.

So-called liberals, like their right-wing counterparts, have no stomach for addressing reality and struggling to bring about real systemic change. The war criminals remain embedded in the White House and Congress, and U.S. corporate / military wars are not only being waged upon people of other nations, but also upon the ‘American’ people themselves / ourselves. Wake up while there may still be time!

This nation has been subverted from bad to worse by Barack Obama, and his allies of the corporate elite who, in fact, financially own the corporate media.

Unhook yourselves from this government and its constant corporate media spin. Stop absorbing, believing in, and being diverted by the hype. Behold! Disaster has already been brought upon us, but there may yet be time to change the course of this nation and at lease minimize, mitigate, and ultimately reverse these unfolding catastrophes. It is our duty and right as humans to do this.

In the words of Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara, “feel the pain” of the everyday people (your sisters and brothers) and act accordingly; for soon that pain will be at your door and upon you and your family, if it is not already. Act now, for real systemic change, while there may yet be time! We must be both pragmatic and optimistic: Pragmatic enough to recognize the dire situation we are in, and optimistic enough to set out seriously to address and change it! This cannot and will not come about by osmosis. It must be brought about by the unrelenting struggle of everyday people!

Snatch the narrative from the corporate media! Tell your own stories, and organize locally and nationally to bring about real systemic change! You / we can do this. Indeed, we must do this for ourselves and the planet - Mother Earth - as a whole.

Onward my sisters and brothers! There is so very much work to be done. Onward!

Sticking the public with the bill for the bankers’ crisis G8/G20

Vatic Note:   Well, if the bankers don't have to pay taxes than neither should we.  Naomi does a good job of highlighting the G-20 meeting with the nazi Harper from Canada taking the lead to exempt the banks from the austerity program that is going to come down on everyone else so they can continue thier scam on the citizens of the globe.  As I have mentioned before if these criminals start a world war for profit, then they are already the enemy and at war with us,  we should simply go ahead and fight back for a change.  We certainly know who the "real" enemy is  who keeps working this cycle of perversion every 70 years or so whenever our seniors have their retirement built up and are ready to retire, the greedy bankers simply steal it from them through the Wall Street brokerage houses,  well, we must finally say NO MORE.  We do not have an FDR to do it for us this time around.   This time we have to do it. 

Sticking the public with the bill for the bankers’ crisis G8/G20

Naomi Klein, From Monday's Globe and Mail Published
on Sunday, Jun. 27, 2010 7:11PM EDT Last updated on Monday, Jun. 28, 2010 7:33AM EDT

My city feels like a crime scene and the criminals are all melting into the night, fleeing the scene. No, I’m not talking about the kids in black who smashed windows and burned cop cars on Saturday.

I’m talking about the heads of state who, on Sunday night, smashed social safety nets and burned good jobs in the middle of a recession. Faced with the effects of a crisis created by the world’s wealthiest and most privileged strata, they decided to stick the poorest and most vulnerable people in their countries with the bill.

How else can we interpret the G20’s final communiquĂ©, which includes not even a measly tax on banks or financial transactions, yet instructs governments to slash their deficits in half by 2013. This is a huge and shocking cut, and we should be very clear who will pay the price: students who will see their public educations further deteriorate as their fees go up; pensioners who will lose hard-earned benefits; public-sector workers whose jobs will be eliminated. And the list goes on. These types of cuts have already begun in many G20 countries including Canada, and they are about to get a lot worse.

They are happening for a simple reason. When the G20 met in London in 2009, at the height of the financial crisis, the leaders failed to band together to regulate the financial sector so that this type of crisis would never happen again. All we got was empty rhetoric, and an agreement to put trillions of dollars in public monies on the table to shore up the banks around the world. Meanwhile the U.S. government did little to keep people in their homes and jobs, so in addition to hemorrhaging public money to save the banks, the tax base collapsed, creating an entirely predictable debt and deficit crisis.

At this weekend’s summit, Prime Minister Stephen Harper convinced his fellow leaders that it simply wouldn’t be fair to punish those banks that behaved well and did not create the crisis (despite the fact that Canada’s highly protected banks are consistently profitable and could easily absorb a tax). Yet somehow these leaders had no such concerns about fairness when they decided to punish blameless individuals for a crisis created by derivative traders and absentee regulators.

Last week, The Globe and Mail published a fascinating article about the origins of the G20. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/g8-g20/news/how-canada-made-the-g20-happen/article1609690/  It turns out the entire concept was conceived in a meeting back in 1999 between then finance minister Paul Martin and his U.S. counterpart Lawrence Summers (itself interesting since Mr. Summers was at that time playing a central role in creating the conditions for this financial crisis – allowing a wave of bank consolidation and refusing to regulate derivatives).

The two men wanted to expand the G7, but only to countries they considered strategic and safe. They needed to make a list but apparently they didn’t have paper handy. So, according to reporters John Ibbitson and Tara Perkins, “the two men grabbed a brown manila envelope, put it on the table between them, and began sketching the framework of a new world order.” Thus was born the G20.

The story is a good reminder that history is shaped by human decisions, not natural laws. Mr. Summers and Mr. Martin changed the world with the decisions they scrawled on the back of that envelope. But there is nothing to say that citizens of G20 countries need to take orders from this hand-picked club.

Already, workers, pensioners and students have taken to the streets against austerity measures in Italy, Germany, France, Spain and Greece, often marching under the slogan: “We won’t pay for your crisis.” And they have plenty of suggestions for how to raise revenues to meet their respective budget shortfalls.

Many are calling for a financial transaction tax that would slow down hot money and raise new money for social programs and climate change. Others are calling for steep taxes on polluters that would underwrite the cost of dealing with the effects of climate change and moving away from fossil fuels. And ending losing wars is always a good cost-saver.

The G20 is an ad hoc institution with none of the legitimacy of the United Nations. Since it just tried to stick us with a huge bill for a crisis most of us had no hand in creating, I say we take a cue from Mr. Martin and Mr. Summers. Flip it over, and write on the back of the envelope: Return to sender.

Elite German troops leap into Tennessee skies, lifestyle

Vatic Note:  I was ok with this story until the Commander said "no names" can be shared, so then I began to wonder if this is just another day at work, or are they getting ready to take us on.   We are certainly not their enemy, so why would they be willing to do anything that requires you hide your name?  For now, its just a suspicious story, but it bears watching and keeping an eye open.  Also note the elite nature of these troops somewhat comparable to our seals or special ops.   That bears keeping in mind as well. 

Elite German troops leap into Tennessee skies, lifestyle

A hearse sits on the grounds of West Tennessee Skydiving in rural Fayette County with an advertisement on the side that says, "If It Can't Kill You It Ain't A Real Sport."

Overhead, 14 Germans are jumping from a two-engine plane at 23,000 feet, aiming for an 80-foot bed of pea gravel in the center's front yard.

The yard is like a pasture along a rural stretch off U.S. 64 near Somerville. Surrounded by cotton and soybean fields, the skydiving center has become part of annual training for some of the world's elite military special forces.

"It's like you have to inspect your car every year," says a chief master sergeant for Germany's version of the U.S. Navy SEALs.

His swimmers, the Kampfschwimmers or "combat swimmers," are trained for underwater operations, jungle and desert warfare. Like fictional special agent James Bond, the swimmers are known for stealth and clandestine operations.

"No names," says the sergeant, a training commander for the Germans.  (VN:  why not if its just a simple normal training session?)

Their two weeks of skydiving in Somerville are followed by two more weeks at the Mid-South Institute of Self-Defense Shooting in Lake Cormorant, Miss. It is a shooting range devoted exclusively to military, police and government agencies.

The Kampfschwimmers receive the same parachute training as Navy SEALs, says West Tennessee Skydiving owner Mike Mullins, a FedEx pilot and former Army helicopter pilot. The Germans have trained in Somerville for five years.

At altitudes higher than 15,000 feet, the jumpers use oxygen masks. From that height, they can glide 5 miles, but a 40,000-foot jump can mean silently gliding for up to 40 miles across borders to precise landing targets in enemy territory.

Unlike their home base on the Baltic Sea, Fayette County has "good and stable weather," says the sergeant. And there is little wasted time. Mullins' plane, a King Air B90, can climb to 14,000 feet in just seven minutes.

The Germans' landings are so gentle that the soldiers look like they are nimbly stepping from a car onto a grocery store parking lot.

Their parachutes are 300 to 400 square feet. Each is shaped like an airplane wing and guided by pulls that tilt the chute to provide last-minute lift and soft landings.  Each chute has numbers printed on the bottom so the sergeant can easily identify a soldier who needs coaching.

"See, he is turning too sharply," says the sergeant, pointing skyward. "If you turn too sharp, you can go into a dive."  Modern chutes have speed and altitude sensors that cause them to open automatically within about 700 feet of the ground.  "If that happens, you may have a bad landing," says the sergeant.

Between jumps, most of the Germans speak English with British accents. They share more than training with their American counterparts. Serving in Afghanistan, they are away from home for long stretches.

"The worst part is that guys are separated from their families," says their commanding officer.  On weekends, they visit tourist attractions such as Beale Street.  "The Germans haven't met a beer they didn't like," says West Tennessee Skydiving instructor Chris Welker.

The German officer says his men also have become fond of a Chinese buffet in the food court at Wolfchase Galleria in Memphis. In Somerville, The Hut, known for its barbecue, is a favorite along with the Huddle House.  "They eat a lot of eggs," says the officer.

From motels in Somerville and Oakland, the soldiers arise as early as 4a.m. and run all or part of the 12 miles from U.S. 64 to the skydiving center. They do at least four jumps each day and, at night, go to a gym in Oakland for weight training.

After repacking their 60-pound chutes, the soldiers relax between jumps. They are among the world's best swimmers, but their current service is in a land-locked country with no major bodies of water. They are like fish out of water, but their commanding officer says they are committed to the mission.  "The reason we are fighting is that Afghanistan has long been a haven for terrorists," he says. (VN:  Looks like propoganda is alive and well in Germany, just like here, they think we are in Afghanistan becuase of bogus terrorists that work for the CIA/Mossad, LOL, its nice to know Germany has unthinking soldiers like we do, that gives civilians a leg up.)

The Germans -- always reminded by history of Nazi aggression -- are careful of their international image, but NATO forces play for keeps.  "NATO requires that soldiers be willing to shoot people. They expect us to be aggressive," says another officer.

One of his young soldiers discovers a unicycle leaning against the side of the main building. It belongs to one of Mullins' sons.  The soldier tries to balance himself, but soon discovers that a unicycle may be one of those devices that can kill you.  "No more," he says, abandoning the unicycle to prepare for his next jump.

Millions of birds set to fly into Gulf oil mess

Vatic Note: If there is a crime that needs to be answered for, this is the one. If heads do not roll with this event should it occur, then we, the people must obtain justice with these people. Lets look at who we should hold accountable.  Now here are their pictures, copy them before they are taken down. Read their biographies.   They best get the corexit out of the water because they will be held liable.  Once we see the system doesn't work, we will discover ways to obtain justice, its just we aren't convinced yet, that the system is completely lost.  Once we do, then we must get creative and do what Salduchi is talking about which is a second republic.  Notice the comments about the seriousness of this spill by non BP or government interviewees.   This spill occurred 3.5 months ago and they say the spill is not as serious as the Exxon Valdez?  Does anyone else find this very interesting????  After these many months??  After the hype about how death threatening this was to everything and everyone???   Stay observant and don't respond to anymore fear mongering until we get info from those we can trust. 


Millions of birds set to fly into Gulf oil mess
'They won't be safe on their fall passage,' says Audubon official
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38037033/ns/us_news-environment/

LOS ANGELES/FORT JACKSON, La. — Despite the images of oil-soaked pelicans flooding the media in recent weeks, wildlife experts say the toll on sea birds from BP's Gulf Coast oil spill is smaller than was anticipated, so far.  That is expected to change drastically for the worse.

Scientists warn that as shifting weather and sea conditions conspire with the dynamics of avian life cycles, a tremendous number of birds will soon be put in jeopardy.

In the coming weeks, millions of waterfowl and other birds that flock to the Gulf Coast on their annual fall migration will arrive in the region either to roost for the winter or to make brief stopovers en route farther south.

With toxic crude still gushing from the floor of the Gulf of Mexico and streaks of the slick creeping inexorably farther inland, many more birds and other wildlife that nest, feed and find shelter on shore are likely to become casualties.  

"To this point, we haven't seen a lot of oiled wildlife based on the size of the spill," U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist Catherine Berg said. "(But) there's still a lot of oil out there. There's still a lot of wildlife in the area."

Birds migrating through the Gulf largely dodged a bullet in the spring when newly escaped oil from the ruptured BP wellhead took longer than expected to wash ashore.

"A lot of those birds were safe on their spring passage, but they won't be safe on their fall passage," said Greg Butcher, bird conservation director for the National Audubon Society.

Wildlife officials are taking various steps to minimize the risks, cordoning off rookeries with containment booms, paying farmers to flood fields that could serve as temporary bird-friendly wetlands, and considering new duck hunting restrictions.

Authorities are even weighing the possibility of capturing baby pelicans to move them out of harm's way, said Jay Holcomb, head of the International Bird Rescue Research Center.  Rehabilitation centers in the Gulf have treated over 800 oil-impaired birds and released at least 250 back to the wild.

The birds are tagged, and some have come through twice, said Holcomb, who oversees rescue operations out of the main treatment facility in Fort Jackson, Louisiana.  "A lot of these birds ... want to come back to their nest," Holcomb said. "Most spills are over really quick, but this is like a new spill every day. It's really discouraging."

Drop box and body counts

A container labeled "Bird Carcass Collection Drop Box" in a corner of the Fort Jackson center is a grim reminder of the difficulties the rehab teams face. Over 100 oiled birds brought there have died or been euthanized, Holcomb said.

To date, more than 2,000 dead and debilitated birds have been counted along the entire Gulf Coast — quadruple the number reported a month ago when the government first began posting its daily tallies.

But Holcomb said partial or skeletal remains with no visible signs of oil exposure account for most of the 1,165 dead specimens found so far and unlikely were spill victims.

The high proportion of older remains from birds that died of natural causes can probably be attributed to the intense efforts to find and catalog every animal that may have been killed or injured in the disaster.

Those counts are more than just academic. They ultimately will help determine how much BP will be expected to pay into a compensation fund for wildlife damages.

Dr. Michael Ziccardi of the Oiled Wildlife Care Network at the University of California at Davis, said dollar figures attached to birds counted as casualties of past spills have ranged from $500 to $20,000 per individual. Factors include whether the bird was an endangered species and whether any economic or commercial value could be ascribed to the animal.

Exxon Valdez much worse, so far

As disturbing as pictures of oiled wildlife have been, the 850 oil-fouled birds found alive to date and hundreds more known to have died pale in comparison to the 250,000 seabirds estimated to have perished from the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska's Prince William Sound.   "That may change as time goes on because more and more birds are probably going to be oiled," Holcomb said.

Experts say high winds and seas from any number of storms, including Hurricane Alex, could push more oil into the fragile patchwork of salt marshes, beaches, islands and inlets composing the Gulf's ragged shoreline. The 2010 Atlantic hurricane season that officially began last month is expected to be one of the more active in recent years.

Moreover, the Mississippi River's drainage into the Gulf is starting to dissipate after a robust spring outflow — fed by heavy rains and Tennessee floodwaters upstream — that helped keep oil away from shore in the early days of the spill.

As the river levels fall, the Gulf's waters will be drawn back up toward the mouth of the Mississippi and farther into the delta, along with more of the oil on the surface.

Pelicans, gannets and other plunge-diving species were among the hardest-hit at the spill's outset because they feed in open water — where the oil was then most present.  Shorebirds such as sandpipers, and wading species like egrets and herons, are next in line.

"We have a lot of birds on rookeries. We have a lot of birds in the marshes, just roosting locally. Pretty soon, we're going to get an influx of waterfowl as they come in here to molt post breeding season," Berg said.

After mating and nesting in freshwater inland areas, many ducks and geese venture to the coast to molt, losing their worn summer feathers, then growing winter plumage, before continuing their fall migration. In between, they are flightless.   "Think about it. A whole bunch of ducks that can't fly, on the water," Berg said.

Billion birds pass through

The Gulf Coast straddles the Mississippi Flyway, one of the world's major bird migration corridors and one that brings about 1 billion birds from more than 300 species through the region each year.

Tens of millions of sandpipers and plovers from Alaska and Canada will be arriving within days on their way to Latin America, Butcher said. Most roost in the uplands away from shore but venture down to the beaches, mudflats and sand bars to feed at low tide.

Herons and egrets that have stayed fairly stationary while nesting are now on the move with their young, potentially becoming more exposed to oil in the marshes, he said.

Hoping to create safe, clean rest stops for migrating birds as alternatives to wetlands fouled by oil, a land conservation agency of the U.S. Agriculture Department announced this week it would pay growers to convert cropland to bird habitat by flooding rice fields.  Gulf authorities have had success here and there in keeping oil out of some prime bird real estate.

Hundreds of pelicans and other birds remain safe for now on Grand Terre Island, a major roosting ground in Louisiana's Barataria Bay that has been encircled with soft and hard boom.

Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser and other local officials made the island's protection a top priority, though they acknowledge that a large storm could tear through the artificial barrier. Some of the surrounding marshes already have been fouled as oil continues to creep farther, especially during morning and evening tides.

"God forbid if we have another Katrina, we'll be picking oil off Bourbon Street," Nungesser said.

HIDDEN FACTS ABOUT RITALIN

Vatic Note:  When you read this and combine it with our research on Satanic Ritual Abuse used on Children and pedophilia, and the mind control resulting from such combinations, it becomes clear why Bush was pushing the mental health testing of children in school and then the school deciding, NOT THE PARENTS, the school..... whether drugs will be used on the children.   Add to that, the write up we did on Senator Shaffers investigations in the Child Protective Services role in taking children from homes at will, and those same children finding their way into illegal drug studies as experimental guinie pigs and into the sex and pedophilia world at the highest levels of gov, then it becomes clear why all this may have been done.  Read it and decide for yourself, but there appears to be no other explanation that would fit those facts and circumstances occuring at the same time.   Remember this is also going on with adults in the torture prisons that we are engaging in now.   Read and see what you think and let us know. 

HIDDEN FACTS ABOUT RITALIN

In 1986, The International Journal of the Addictions published a very important literature review by Richard Scarnati. It was called “An Outline of Hazardous Side Effects of Ritalin (Methylphenidate)” [v.21(7), pp. 837-841].

Scarnati listed a large number of adverse affects of Ritalin and cited published journal articles which reported each of these symptoms.

For every one of the following Ritalin effects, there is at least one confirming source in the medical literature:

• Paranoid delusions
• Paranoid psychosis
• Hypomanic and manic symptoms, amphetamine-like psychosis
• Activation of psychotic symptoms
• Toxic psychosis
• Visual hallucinations
• Auditory hallucinations
• Can surpass LSD in producing bizarre experiences
• Effects pathological thought processes
• Extreme withdrawal
• Terrified affect
• Started screaming
• Aggressiveness
• Insomnia
• Since Ritalin is considered an amphetamine-type drug, expect amphetamine-like effects
• Psychic dependence
• High-abuse potential DEA Schedule II Drug
• Decreased REM sleep
• When used with antidepressants one may see dangerous reactions including hypertension, seizures and
hypothermia
• Convulsions
• Brain damage may be seen with amphetamine abuse.

Many parents around the country have discovered that Ritalin has become a condition for their children continuing in school. There are even reports, by parents, of threats from social agencies: “If you don't allow us to prescribe Ritalin for your ADHD child, we may decide that you are an unfit parent. We may decide to take your child away.”

This mind-boggling state of affairs is fueled by teachers, principals, and school counselors, none of whom have medical training. Yet even if they did…

The very existence of the “illnesses” for which Ritalin would be prescribed is unproven. It is merely assumed.

In commenting on Dr. Lawrence Diller's book, Running on Ritalin, Dr. William Carey, Director of Behavioral Pediatrics, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, has written, “Dr. Diller has correctly described... the disturbing trend of blaming children's social, behavioral, and academic performance problems entirely on an unproven brain deficit...”

On November 16-18, 1998, the National Institute of Mental Health held the prestigious “NIH Consensus Development Conference on Diagnosis and Treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder [ADHD].” The conference was explicitly aimed at ending all debate about the diagnoses of ADD, ADHD, and about the prescription of Ritalin. It was hoped that at the highest levels of medical research and bureaucracy, a clear position would be taken: this is what ADHD is, this is where it comes from, and these are the drugs it should be treated with. That didn't happen, amazingly. Instead, the official panel responsible for drawing conclusions from the conference threw cold water on the whole attempt to reach a comfortable consensus.

Panel member Mark Vonnegut, a Massachusetts pediatrician, said, “The diagnosis [of ADHD] is a mess.”

The quite conventional and orthodox panel essentially said it was not sure ADHD was even a valid diagnosis. In other words, it virtually admitted that ADD and ADHD might be nothing more than attempts to categorize certain children's behaviors---with no organic cause, no clear-cut biological basis, no provable reason for even using the ADD or ADHD labels. The panel found “no data to indicate that ADHD is due to a brain malfunction [which malfunction had been the whole psychiatric assumption].”

The panel found that Ritalin has not been shown to have long-term benefits. In fact, the panel stated that Ritalin has resulted in “little improvement on academic achievement or social skills.”

Panel chairman, David Kupfer, professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh, said, “There is no current validated diagnostic test [for ADHD].”

Yet at every level of public education in America, there remains what can only be called a voracious desire to give children Ritalin (or other similar drugs) for so-called ADD or ADHD.

The 1994 Textbook of Psychiatry, published by the American Psychiatric Press, contains this review (Popper and Steingard): “Stimulants [such as Ritalin] do not produce lasting improvements in aggressivity, conduct disorder, criminality, education achievement, job functioning, marital relationships, or long-term adjustment.”

Parents should also wake up to the fact that, in the aftermath of the Littleton, Colorado, school-shooting tragedy, pundits and doctors began urging much more extensive “mental health” services for children. Whether you have noticed it or not, this no longer means, for the most part, therapy with a caring professional. It means drugs. Drugs like Ritalin.

In December 1996, the US Drug Enforcement Agency held a conference on ADHD and Ritalin. Surprisingly, it issued a sensible statement about drugs being a bad substitute for the presence of caring parents: “[T]he use of stimulants [such as Ritalin] for the short-term improvement of behavior and underachievement may be thwarting efforts to address the children's real issues, both on an individual and societal level. The lack of long-term positive results with the use of stimulants and the specter of previous and potential stimulant abuse epidemics, give cause to worry about the future. The dramatic increase in the use of methylphenidate [Ritalin] in the 1990s should be viewed as a marker or warning to society about the problems children are having and how we view and address them.”

In his book, Talking Back to Ritalin, Dr. Peter Breggin expands on the drug's effects: “Stimulants such as Ritalin and amphetamine... have grossly harmful impacts on the brain -- reducing overall blood flow, disturbing glucose metabolism, and possibly causing permanent shrinkage or atrophy of the brain.”

In the American press, although many articles have appeared covering “the debate” about Ritalin and ADHD, no newspaper or TV network has taken it upon itself to hammer on all the lies, day after day, month after month. That kind of campaign could turn around the whole nation on this vital subject---but of course, pharmaceutical advertising is a more powerful force.

And one should not forget that Ritalin came out of a Swiss drug giant called Ciba Geigy (now Novartis) fifty years ago. That company once had very close business ties with the infamous Nazi cartel, IG Farben. Farben stood for inhuman experiments on human beings. Read the adverse effects of Ritalin again, and consider that millions of children take those pills every day.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, contributed to Vatic Project by Robert DeBeero

The Atlantic Partnership is an NGO, which seeks to continue the strong influence of America in the development of the European Union, through the agency of the United Kingdom as the spokesman for American interest. This strategy represents a continuation of the policy of America towards Europe established during the Second World War and the Cold War.

The Atlantic Partnership was founded immediately after the September 11 attacks in the United States. The founding of the organization was timed to ensure that America and Europe did not drift apart as the former pursued the “War on Terror” and the latter pursued monetary and political unification and expansion. Lord Powell of Bayswater (the Chairman of the Atlantic Partnership) opines this strategy clearly in the “Aims and Objectives” section of the organization’s website; when he says

“Partnership’s role is to argue the case for setting major policy decisions in the context of their impact on transatlantic relations. That should apply as much to the way America pursues the global war against terrorism as to the European Union’s ambition to build stronger, Europe-wide institutions.”

Until the time of writing of this article, the Atlantic Partnership and its work have been widely ignored by the media and the public, however its impact since inception in 2002 has been enormous.
