Obama Set to Become Most Expensive Ex-'president'

AT $1.2 MILLION, OBAMA SET TO BECOME MOST EXPENSIVE EX-'pRESIDENT'

AND HOW IS IT THAT THIS TRAITOR WITH AT LEAST 22 COUNTS AGAINST HIM IS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO BILL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?  AND TO WALK FREE WITHOUT A TRIAL AND EXECUTION?

By Mark Swanson   |   Thursday, 31 Aug 2017 01:59 P 

Former 'president' Barack Obama's budget request for 2018 came in at $1,153,000, poised to make him the most expensive 'president' to taxpayers, The Washington Times reported.

Obama's official allowance eclipses George W. Bush by $100,000 and Bill Clinton by $200,000, the Times reported, citing a Congressional Research Service memo.

Former president George H.W. Bush will get $942,000  next year, followed by Jimmy Carter at $456,000.

The allowances for an office and expenses — and pension for Obama — originated from a 1958 law, the Former Presidents Act, which provides for presidents when they leave office. It stemmed from Harry Truman's difficulty generating income, the Times reported.

Of course now, Obama and former FOTUS Michelle Obama, left the White House as multi-millionaires, plus he hits the private speaking tour, making $400,000 per speech, minimizing the need for such an allowance, but one he takes anyway.

Michelle Obama commands $200,000 on the speaker's circuit, just as much as Bush 43.

Obama's biggest expense — his D.C. office, costing taxpayers $536,000 next year, nearly $20K more than Clinton's and $40,000 more than Bush 43's in Dallas.

Obama's pension, $236,000, is also the highest?? Clinton's is $231,000 and Bush 43's is $225,000.

Neither Bush 41 nor Carter receive a pension.

Hurricane Harvey: artificial augmentation of the storm’s intensity and movements?

WEATHERWAR101  POSTS  NEW  ANALYSIS  VIDEO  OF  HURRICANE  HARVEY,  APPEARING     TO  SHOW  ARTIFICIAL  AUGMENTATION  OF  THE  STORM'S  INTENSITY  AND  MOVEMENTS

Thursday, August 31, 2017
Mike Adams


(Natural News) Earlier this week, we posted one of the most intriguing articles the internet has seen all week. Entitled “Weather wars” theorists claim Hurricane Harvey was engineered, “steered” toward Houston as a “weather terrorism” weapon, the article has already garnered over 400,000 views (and rising).

The article covered the rising interest in a concept called “weather wars,” which asserts that Hurricane Harvey and other storms are in essence “weaponized” through artificial augmentation, direction control and other factors. The article documented two key U.S. patents which describe advanced weather control technologies. It also shared several videos, including one from WeatherWar101, a website that’s gaining popularity among weather war analysts who say that Harvey was weaponized and directed as a kind of weapon of mass destruction.

WeatherWar101 took issue with some of the statements in our story — pointing out, for example, that they are not “Sofia Smallstorm” — and the founder of WeatherWar101 has contacted Natural News in an effort to get some statements corrected. We are now in the process of inviting WeatherWar101 for a full interview to cover everything they want to cover. This interview can be a written interview, an audio interview or a video interview (their choice), and if they agree to this interview, we hope to ask them lots of questions that readers have also been asking us.
 
As I said in the previous story, I’m no expert in weather modification, so my entire approach to this is with an open (but skeptical) mind. If I made any factual errors in the previous story, those errors were entirely accidental. 

I’d love to get the record corrected and let WeatherWar101 explain their theories about what’s happening. At the same time, as an active laboratory scientist, I will of course ask lots of skeptical questions.

There does seem to be compelling visual evidence that something very strange is happening with these storms. Something is obviously adding a tremendous volume of vapor / clouds to the Harvey storm as it’s strengthening.

Without this augmentation, Hurricane Harvey would have fallen apart on its own. It was the augmentation, we’re told, that added strength to the hurricane and turned it into a weapon.

“These in-place circular sudden bursts of water vapor are ‘rapid evaporation.”  More than that, it irrefutably illustrates that not only is it man made, the inflicted misery is far beyond intentional. Even after the first night of Harvey’s landfall, the complete destruction of Rockport, and two feet of flooding is Houston, the perpetrators were far from satisfied with the devastation they caused. If the perpetrators had any semblance of mercy or human decency, they simply would have allowed Harvey to dissipate as it was already doing (illustrated in the first satellite series in this video), and allowed the victims of this disaster to begin trying to recover their lives. Instead, they deliberately refueled this storm system with massive On-Land Water Vapor Generation (illustrated and proven by the tell-tale Raid Evaporation Bursts which are uncontestably man made), causing the worst night of flooding in Houston for the entire event.

It does appear to show many examples of “rapid evaporation” that seem to be adding significant water vapor to the storm system. According to WeatherWar101, the 50 inches of rain that devastated the region were at least partially augmented in a deliberate effort to worsen and “weaponize” the storm.

Personally, I’m intrigued by all this just like most of you. We already know that, in the 1940s, scientists harnessed the power of the atom to turn high-density elements into weapons of mass destruction. It’s called the “atomic bomb.” We also know that weather control and modification technology does exist at some scale.  That’s been widely documented and even covered in media reports (such as the rain generating technology near Dubai).

We also know that Hurricane Harvey exhibited some highly unusual tracking behavior, such as heading inland at high speed, stalling, reversing course, then hanging out at precisely the worse location to allow a catastrophic downpour to hover over Houston for days on end.

Still, observation of a catastrophe is not proof that it was engineered. The idea that such storms could be augmented, controlled or weaponized is, of course, an extraordinary claim. And extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence as a general rule. Yet, people like WeatherWar101 and Dane Wigington at Geoengineering Watch seem to be offering increasingly compelling pieces of evidence that support their claims.

So we’re inviting WeatherWar101 for an interview to tell his story and share what he knows. We’ll share the interview with you so that you can decide whether you think his theories have merit or not. 

In the mean time, here’s another new video from Dane Wigington from Geoengineering Watch called “Engineered Climate Cataclysm.” We’re also open to interviewing Wigington if he wants to join us for a chat. 

This issue of weather weaponization needs to be thoroughly discussed in a more open forum, I believe. After all, Al Gore says we control the weather all the time. He calls it “climate change.” So why can’t we openly discuss deliberate weather control technologies, too?

Houston: the National Guard has been mobilized from multiple states to help

BREAKING: Trump Sends In The Feds…

August 30, 2017 Ben Baker

Flooding continues to ravage Houston in the wake of Hurricane Harvey and it’s expected to continue throughout the week.

An article on Military.com reports that the National Guard has been mobilized from multiple states to help in the effort. Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX), said that the assistance from President Trump and the White House has been amazing. “We’ve made multiple requests and we’re getting absolutely everything we need. The White House is being very responsive.”

To assist in rescue efforts, a number of states in the area have sent in National Guard members to provide air and ground assistance. Fire Department rescue units have also arrived in Texas, along with Coast Guard members, as seemingly everyone is pouring in to provide aid.
Boats are patrolling the streets to rescue and transport people, helicopters are snatching people stranded on rooftops, and the Coast Guard is sweeping through the Gulf of Mexico looking for fisherman and freighters stranded by the storms.

Governor Abbot thanked the states that have lent aid, such as New York, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Florida saying, “This is something where everybody is pitching in to help out.”

Andrew Cuomo, Democrat Governor of New York, has sent in more than 100 National Guardsmen along with various aircraft, watercraft, and trained personnel to assist in the effort. “As Hurricane Harvey continues to devastate the Gulf Coast, I am deploying emergency personnel and equipment to help mitigate damage and aid in the recovery effort,” he stated.

Bill de Blasio, Mayor of New York City, released a tweet saying they would send 120 personnel to assist with medical aid and rescue efforts. “After Superstorm Sandy, so many cities stepped up to help our people. We’ll do all we can to help those affected by this storm.”

New York City is sending 120 emergency personnel to Texas to assist in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey.

5:25 AM - 27 Aug 2017

President Trump has been working hard to see that Texas receives the necessary aid and relief it needs. 

After a meeting with Vice President Mike Pence and various Cabinet officials, the White House released an official statement detailing Trump’s expectations.

The statement read, “President Trump continued to stress his expectation that all departments and agencies stay fully committed to supporting the Governors of Texas and Louisiana, and his number one priority of saving lives.”

After visiting Texas, Trump released the following tweet about the tragedy he saw there. “After witnessing first hand the horror & devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey, my heart goes out even more so to the great people of Texas!”




Even with the incredible support and effort of various men and women, there are still many thousands of people stranded and needed rescue. According to Brock Long, Director of FEMA, Texas will require years of federal aid in order to fully recover. “This is a storm the U.S. has not seen yet. We’re setting up for the next several years,” he told CNN.

Texas Governor said that the assistance from President Trump and the White House has been amazing.

While the hurricane and subsequent storms have been a tragedy, there has been some good to come from it. In a rare form of solidarity and cooperation, men and women have put aside their differences to come to each other’s aid. 

During a time of ideological infighting and hostilities, the humanitarian efforts in Texas serve as a reminder that underneath the squabbling, everyone is American, and united together when needed the most.

GEOMAGNETIC STORM UNDERWAY

 GEOMAGNETIC STORM UNDERWAY

Feeling out of sorts, logy, extremely sleepy? Cranky, short tempered?  Cranky family members or friends?  It could be exacerbated by Geomagnetic Storms. (Oh!  So THAT'S what it is!! Geezzzz!  How long will THIS last?! Do these storms last 24 X 7 for months or years?!)

Of course, our own Planet Earth's magnetic core fluctuations, Schumann Resonance spikes, etc. add to the bio-electronic stew the human body was not designed for. 

Watch for ever more sky phenomena that 'no one has ever witnessed before'! All these effects and more will cause the weak-minded to break down. 

Dangerous people behavior will be ever more common and UNANTICIPATED! Handle your daily affairs accordingly.

GEOMAGNETIC STORM UNDERWAY:  

A G1-class geomagnetic storm is underway on Aug. 31st as Earth enters a stream of fast moving solar wind.  

First contact with the stream sparked bright auroras over Alaska. Forecasters expect the solar wind around Earth to blow faster than 600 km/s for at least the next 24 hours, so more high-latitude auroras are possible on Sept.1st. Free: Aurora Alerts

A NEW KIND OF SPRITE? Barely 30 years ago, many researchers did not believe that upper atmospheric lightning existed—until 1989 when researchers from the University of Minnesota captured them on video tape. Now there is a menagerie of accepted forms: sprites, elves, gigantic jets, gnomes. These "transient luminous events" (TLEs) appear above thunderclouds, reaching toward space rather than lancing down to the ground like regular lightning.

On Aug.14th, Thomas Ashcraft may have spotted a new kind of sprite. "I was photographing a cluster of sprites over a thunderstorm in western Oklahoma when something curved snaked up behind the main cluster." 

This frame from his video of the event shows the strange form:

What was it? Experts aren't sure.

Lightning researcher Oscar van der Velde at the Technical University of Catalonia says it could be a troll—a type of TLE that sometimes appears underneath sprites, crawling up tendrils dangling beneath the luminous clusters. "I have recorded many trolls," says van der Velde, "but never such weird curving ones. This is a really exceptional display."

Jozsef Bo'r of the Geodetic and Geophysical Research Institute in Hungary thinks it might be a type of gigantic jet. Gigantic jets are like sprites on steroids—powerful and bright. "A working hypothesis is that the red sprites in the photo occurred first and deposited a cloud of positive charge above the thundercloud. A subsequent gigantic jet was itself rich in positive charge and had to bend around the positive cloud on its way up."

Or it could be something unprecedented. "Even after almost 30 years of sprite observations, we are still seeing new things," says Walter Lyons, past president of the American Meteorological Society and a longtime observer of sprites. "Over the years I have seen thousands of sprites, but only a few curved structures like this -- so this is pretty rare."

"I don't know what to call them," says Ashcraft, who regularly monitors the sky around his private observatory in New Mexico for strange phenomena, "but I am going to keep my eyes open for more."

Stories That Will Give You Hope for America

10 Hurricane Harvey Stories That Will Give You Hope for America
 
August 30, 2017 
 
While it’s true there are a lot of stories about division and heartlessness, there are many stories coming out of storm-torn Texas that will give you hope for humanity again. Kindness and love for our neighbors isn’t dead, despite a politically divided country. This is proof that we can work together and give selflessly.

This isn’t to underplay the death and destruction, but to highlight our humanity in the face of disaster.

Below, you can find 10 of my favorite heart-warming stories so far. 

1.  Four teenage boys rescued more than 50 people in Houston.  After waking up to discover his beloved truck was under water, a 17-year-old Texas boy enlisted his younger brother and two other teens to get on a fishing boat and rescue more than 50 people – and their pets – and bring them to the safety of a local shelter. (source)
 
2.  Members of the Cajun Navy resuscitated an elderly woman found floating face-down in the flood water. As they were guiding their boat down a waterway that was formerly a road, three volunteers realized that what they initially thought was debris was an elderly woman. They jumped in and began resuscitating her in the water, saving her life. They were able to reunite her with her family and say she is doing well. This isn’t the first time that the Cajun Navy has thrown themselves whole heartedly into a rescue effort, and Houston is welcoming their contributions. (source)
 
3. When a stranded woman went into labor, a human chain, a fire department, and a dump truck got her to the hospital. Luckily for a woman who went into labor early, the neighborhood worked together to get her to the hospital in time to give birth. As her new baby girl required intensive care immediately after she was born, it was a good thing that she was not born at home. (source)  https://twitter.com/calliecalliejo/status/901850416115322882
 
4.  Some employees who were stranded at a bakery by the flood made bread for hungry survivors. The bakers were stuck at the bakery for two days, but instead of being idle, they worked all night long to make hundreds of loaves of pan dulce bread to help nourish fellow flood victims. (source)

5. Bass Pro provided 80 boats for search and rescue efforts. When Houston officials ran out of boats, they asked for volunteers with boats to come and help out. Bass Pro answered the call with the use of 80 of their boats and $40,000 in emergency supplies. (source)

6. Two furniture stores turned their locations into pet-friendly shelters. Mattress Mac welcomed displaced residents, their children, and their pets into their stores to provide them with a comfortable place to stay. (source)

7. A storm chaser rescued a lost dog. A storm chaser stopping for gas on his way home was surprised when a bedraggled dog hopped into his Jeep. After he posted a photo on social media, he was able to connect with the dog’s owner and return him. (source)

8. A reporter and camera crew in a boat rescued a stranded family shouting for help. As the crew went past a home, they heard people calling for a help. The family’s home was being flooded with waist-high water. Their elderly mother suffered from Alzheimer’s. They were helped onto the boat and taken to shelter. (source)

9. Not one to let a disaster get him down, this man caught a fish in his living room. Watch these three videos.  https://www.facebook.com/vivvy.saldana/videos/1536927239700173/

10. Anheiser Busch stopped producing beer to can water. The Georgia brewery stopped production to provide 155,000 cans of safe drinking water for flood victims.  https://twitter.com/AnheuserBusch/status/902564457334718464/photo/1

 
These stories go to show you that we can all look past race, politics, and religious disagreements to help our neighbors, keep our spirits up, and perform acts of kindness. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could continue acting like neighbors after the disaster has passed?

What They’re NOT Telling You About Hurricane Harvey!!!!

THE REAL TRUTH About Hurricane Harvey 

And What They are NOT telling you!!!! 

Aug 30, 2017

Published on Aug 30, 2017

WHAT YOUR MAINSTREAM MEDIA DOESN’T WANT YOU TO KNOW!!! (WHAT THE MSM MOST LIKELY DOES NOT KNOW - LET'S GET REAL - THEIR REPORTS ARE SCRIPTED0

On the morning of Thurs., Aug. 24th, 2017, the National Hurricane Center had been tracking Harvey as a then-tropical storm… However, within a 48-hour time span, this now-hurricane would become the strongest hurricane to hit the United States in more than a decade and inundating the nation’s fourth-largest city, Houston, Texas.

Ever since the category-4 storm dissipated into a tropical storm, record flooding devastated the entire southern-Texas region — with rainfalls totaling up to more than 50 inches in certain areas. More than a quarter million were left without power due to the storm, and up to 450,000 Harvey disaster victims are expected to file for assistance, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). However, Brock Long, who is the current FEMA administrator, has also said that FEMA is expected to remain in Texas for years now… And Michael Brown, former FEMA director, has called Hurricane Harvey “worse than Katrina.”

Now that the entire National Guard has been called, curfews are enforced in Houston, FEMA is involved, and a ton of other Alphabet Soup organizations along with Walmart are teaming up — there is more to this storm than what the mainstream media wants you to know…

Because on the exact same week as Hurricane Harvey, Attorney General Jeff Sessions met with the Fraternal Order of Police… where the Trump administration quietly lifted the ban on military gear to local police forces, allowing for the militarization of police… and, House Joint Resolution 76 was also recently passed and quietly signed into law as of Tue. Aug. 22nd, 2017... allowing for the warrantless searches of homes, where only 1% opposed. Just in time for the National Guard and local police force to raid the flooded streets of Texas…

And mind you, the storm formed only DAYS before the FEMA National Preparedness Month, and DAYS following the international EarthEx 2017 drill that took place as of Wed., Aug. 23rd, 2017… barely DAYS following the total solar eclipse over America on Mon., Aug. 21st, 2017. EarthEx 2017, short for Emergency All-Sector Response Transnational Hazard Exercise, is, according to host Electric Infrastructure Security Council (EIS), “designed to improve community resilience to large scale, long duration power outages through multi-sector exercises.” Other organizations involved were the usual Alphabet Soups such as FEMA, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Department of Energy (DOE)…

However, their main focus is on the impact of long-duration power outages… They also address severe hazards to critical societal infrastructures against uniquely severe Black Sky Hazards, defined as “catastrophic event that severely disrupts the normal functioning of our critical infrastructures in multiple regions for long durations.”

Considering the power outages due to Hurricane Harvey AND the power outage in Taiwan affecting MILLIONS only a week before this event took place, we can see that none of this is a mere surprise or coincidence whatsoever…

Couple that with all the mudslides in Sierra Leone, and major flooding in regions such as Nepal, Bangladesh, and India (where over 40 MILLION people have been affected worldwide, according to the United Nations) — one begins to wonder if Hurricane Harvey is really even a “natural disaster,” and if “global warming” is the one to blame for this storm.

What’s The REAL TRUTH About Hurricane Harvey?!?!

THE TRUTH REVEALED!!!

AS YOU SEE, EVENTS ARE INTENSIFYING LIKE NEVER BEFORE! PLEASE SEEK YAHUAH AND HIS TRUE SON YAHUSHA — FOR TIME IS RUNNING SHORT!!!!!!!

WHAT CHINA'S LEADERSHIP RESHUFFLE MEANS

MARKETS ARE ABOUT TO FIND OUT WHAT CHINA'S LEADERSHIP RESHUFFLE MEANS

• Twice-a-decade meeting, leadership reshuffle set for Oct. 18
• Personnel moves and work report key for China market-watchers

 

Bloomberg News

‎August‎ ‎31‎, ‎2017‎ ‎5‎:‎25‎ ‎AM

 
For most of the year, there’s been an oft-repeated refrain among China-watchers. Whispered in private meetings with clients or loudly spoken by confident brokers, it goes something like this: “Don’t worry about the economy or markets in 2017 -- Beijing won’t let anything bad happen ahead of the Communist Party Congress.”

Much less clear is what happens after the gathering, a once-in-five years conclave now scheduled to convene on Oct. 18 in Beijing. Now that the dates -- a secret until late Thursday -- are known, the narrative will need to evolve, with what takes place at the meeting of some 2,300 delegates key to determining China’s course over the next five years.

“There are two big concerns among overseas investors who are interested in China -- the yuan and the uncertainties around the party congress,” said Han Tongli, chief investment officer at DeepBlue Global Investment Ltd. in Hong Kong, which oversees $200 million. “Once the dust has settled and the uncertainties have gone post-congress, investors will re-evaluate market pricing.”

China’s policy makers have stressed the need for stability and order in financial markets in the lead-up to what will be the 19th congress, even as they persist with a campaign against leverage endorsed by the country’s top leaders. Investors have taken comfort in the strengthened yuan and buoyant stocks, betting officials will act swiftly to quash any signs of speculation or upheaval that could distract from the party’s message of prosperity and control.

Swings Afterward 
 
But the ‘Congress Put’ keeping markets calm won’t last, with the gathering a vehicle to dispense key messages about the party’s vision for China’s future. That could unleash a flurry of policy and regulatory activity once the agenda has been set and the delegates have returned home. Markets typically see volatility in the wake of party congresses, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

President Xi Jinping, who also serves as general secretary of the party, has been continuously solidifying his power base since his ascension at the 2012 congress, and a key metric for China watchers will be how successful he is in influencing key personnel appointments.

The second critical aspect of the meeting will be the work report delivered on the first day, which sets the priorities for government policy in China for the next half decade. The importance of this document “can’t be stressed enough,” say analysts at Trivium, a research group co-founded by former Conference Board economist Andrew Polk.

“We are genuinely curious to see what happens here,” they wrote in a preview of the gathering. “Xi has changed tack several times and the debate over economic policy is still raging with no obvious conclusion -- stay tuned.”

While the Communist Party pledged early in Xi’s term to give markets a “decisive” role in shaping the economy, his leadership has seen the party’s control deepened in a broad range of areas, from state-owned enterprises to social media and the military.

Yuan Shock

Xi’s first term has seen periods of tumult in the markets, with individual investors encouraged to buy into stocks that went from boom to bust in a matter of weeks in mid-2015. Then came the shock devaluation of the yuan, which rattled global markets and exacerbated depreciation pressures on the currency just as China was trying to internationalize it.

Since then, policy makers have been trying to insulate the yuan, first using reserves, then stricter capital controls and monetary tightening to stem its drop. Donald Trump’s election, and his threat to label China a currency manipulator, brought with it a fresh imperative to stem weakness, and the yuan has chartered a steady, strengthening course through 2017.

“The guidance won’t come in the form of specific policies, but represent the party consensus on longer-term strategies going forward,” said Aidan Yao, a senior economist at AXA Investment Asia Ltd. in Hong Kong.

Another key point is language surrounding China’s growth objectives. For market watchers, it’s key that the party strike the right balance. Abandoning an explicit target for the economy without some new pledge to sustain a steady pace of expansion could cast doubt over the outlook for a continuation of the 6-percent-plus pace of gross domestic product gains. Still, too aggressive a target may fuel worries about excessive debt.

Similarly, observers will be watching for language on reining in financial risks, where again a balance between pledging to avoid a buildup in leverage while averting a contraction in credit that damages growth may be needed.

On personnel, the reshuffled membership of the Communist Party’s top body, the standing committee of the Politburo, will be all-important. Among the key markers to watch:

• Whether Xi ally Wang Qishan, who has led the anti-corruption drive, stays for another five-year term, despite being beyond the informal retirement age of 68. That could indicate whether Xi stays in power beyond 2022, breaking a recent precedent for party leaders to step down after a decade.
• How many allies Xi gets on the seven-member panel, and whether the group shrinks -- giving Xi greater influence.
• Whether a clear potential successor is appointed to the panel. In recent history, the mid-term party congress typically sees the leader-in-waiting established, as Xi himself was in 2007. One man to watch is Chen Miner, a Xi protege recently elevated to party boss of megapolis Chongqing.

Also key, whether People’s Bank of China Governor Zhou Xiaochuan stays on, along with Premier Li Keqiang. Li is considered a proponent of market reforms, but has been marginalized by Xi as the president set up competing bodies overseeing economic and financial policy.

“The past five years has seen growth largely driven by spending and an increase in leverage,” said DeepBlue Global’s Han. “It’s understandable that Xi spent the first five years focusing on creating an environment that discouraged corruption, but now the market is looking for more.”
