For those of you interested in earth changes: South Atlantic Anomaly



FOR THOSE OF YOU INTERESTED IN EARTH CHANGES:  SOUTH ATLANTIC ANOMALY


Science lesson for today (multiple articles).  Note the reddish blob over Antarctica (center bottom of graphic) which they don't really show in detail!  Would be interesting to see the South Pole situation!


 
 The anomaly at an altitude of approximately 560 kilometers[1


The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is an area where the Earth's inner Van Allen radiation belt comes closest to the Earth's surface dipping down to an altitude of 200 km (124 mi). This leads to an increased flux of energetic particles in this region and exposes orbiting satellites to higher-than-usual levels of radiation. The effect is caused by the non-concentricity of the Earth and its magnetic dipole, and the SAA is the near-Earth region where the Earth's magnetic field is weakest relative to an idealized Earth-centered dipole field.

Contents

Position and shape


The Van Allen radiation belts are symmetric about the Earth's magnetic axis, which is tilted with respect to the Earth's rotational axis by an angle of approximately 11 degrees. The intersection between the magnetic and rotation axes of the Earth is located not at the Earth's centre, but some 500 kilometres (300 mi) further north. Because of this asymmetry, the inner Van Allen belt is closest to the Earth's surface over the south Atlantic ocean where it dips down to 200 km (124 mi) altitude, and farthest from the Earth's surface over the north Pacific ocean.[2]

noting the point where the South Atlantic Anomaly occurs


One reason for the variation is that if we represent the Earth's magnetism by a bar magnet of small size but strong intensity ("magnetic dipole"), the best description is obtained by placing that magnet not at the center of Earth but some distance away from it, more or less in the direction of Singapore

As a result, over South America and the south Atlantic, near Singapore's antipodal point, the magnetic field is relatively weak, resulting in a lower repulsion to trapped particles of the radiation belts here, and as a result these particles reach deeper into the upper atmosphere than they otherwise would.[3]

The shape of the SAA changes over time. Since its initial discovery in 1958,[4] the southern limits of the SAA have remained roughly constant while a long-term expansion has been measured to the northwest, the north, the northeast, and the east. Additionally, the shape and particle density of the SAA varies on a diurnal basis, with greatest particle density corresponding roughly to local noon

At an altitude of approximately 500 km (300 mi), the SAA spans from −50° to 0° geographic latitude and from −90° to +40° longitude.[5] 

The highest intensity portion of the SAA drifts to the west at a speed of about 0.3 degrees per year, and is noticeable in the references listed below. The drift rate of the SAA is very close to the rotation differential between the Earth's core and its surface, estimated to be between 0.3 and 0.5 degrees per year.

Current literature suggests that a slow weakening of the geomagnetic field is one of several causes for the changes in the borders of the SAA since its discovery. As the geomagnetic field continues to weaken, the inner Van Allen belt gets closer to the Earth, with a commensurate enlargement of the SAA at given altitudes.[citation needed]

Effects

The South Atlantic Anomaly is of great significance to astronomical satellites and other spacecraft that orbit the Earth at several hundred kilometers altitude; these orbits take satellites through the anomaly periodically, exposing them to several minutes of strong radiation, caused by the trapped protons in the inner Van Allen belt. The International Space Station, orbiting with an inclination of 51.6°, requires extra shielding to deal with this problem. The Hubble Space Telescope does not take observations while passing through the SAA.[6] 
Astronauts are also affected by this region which is said to be the cause of peculiar 'shooting stars' (phosphenes) seen in the visual field of astronauts.[7] Passing through the South Atlantic Anomaly is thought[8] to be the reason for the early failures of the Globalstar network's satellites.

The PAMELA experiment, while passing through the SAA, detected antiproton levels that were orders of magnitude higher than expected. This suggests the Van Allen belt confines antiparticles produced by the interaction of the Earth's upper atmosphere with cosmic rays.[9]

NASA has reported that modern laptops have crashed when space shuttle flights passed through the anomaly.[10] In October 2012, the SpaceX CRS-1 Dragon spacecraft attached to the International Space Station experienced a transient problem as it passed through the anomaly.[11]

    U.S. 'GOVERNMENT' PLACED IN CHECKMATE!!  
    NO MORE SLAVERY!!!

    Jan 28, 2016


    I have researched and dug and worked long hours under conditions of threat, often going hungry, being ridiculed, losing homes, property, automobiles, lifelong savings, suffering imprisonment, assault, battery, emotional and physical abuse, and it is time to show the world exactly what I have discovered and learned. 

    At first I was shocked by what I was uncovering, but as time goes by there is nothing that the 'elite' that think they rule the world do anymore that shocks me. 

    They have no empathy, no morals and no conscience. 

    They are beyond evil and relish in the suffering of innocent living souls.

    I have, however, found the complete and permanent solution of which part of is following in a document that was sent to: 

    Secretary of State – John F. Kerry
    Attorney General – Eric Himpton Holder
    Federal Bureau of Investigation - Director James B. Comey

    IS there a 'good' FBI agent SOME WHERE for REAL?


    BREAKING!  FBI REVEALS THEIR PLAN TO STOP OBAMA IF HE INTERFERES WITH HILLARY INDICTMENT!!!




    The FBI is just about ready to recommend an indictment on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over her private email scandal and is prepared to make the details of its investigation public if the attorney general refuses to pursue the case.

    At least that is the word that unnamed sources in the FBI recently gave to former Republican House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, according to Newsmax. “I have friends that are in the FBI and they tell me they’re ready to indict,” 

    DeLay told the host of “The Steve Malzburg Show” on Monday. “They’re ready to recommend an indictment and they also say that if the attorney general does not indict, they’re going public.”

    The FBI is investigating the possibility that presumptive Democrat presidential nominee’s use of a private email server to conduct official government business led to classified information being stored on an unauthorized and unsecured system.
     
    However, though there appears to be mountains of evidence strongly suggesting wrongdoing on the part of Hillary Clinton and her team, there is nevertheless a fear that the increasingly partisan Obama Justice Department will refuse to indict or pursue a conviction in an effort to cover up their complicit corruption and spare a fellow Democrat from accountability.

    The FBI threat of publicly releasing incriminating evidence appears to be a bid at keeping Obama’s Justice Department honest and in line with the rule of law.  “One way or another, either she’s going to be indicted and that process begins, or we try her in the public eye with her campaign. One way or another she’s going to have to face these charges,” declared DeLay.

    Hopefully the former House majority leader is correct, and the FBI is about to hand down a recommendation for an indictment of Hillary Clinton. As to leaking incriminating information if the DOJ refuses to push forward with the case, let us hope it doesn’t come to that.

    Please share this on Facebook and Twitter to help spread the word that the FBI is reportedly ready to either indict Hillary Clinton or leak incriminating evidence about her to the public, exposing her corruption and lawlessness.

    FLOURIDE, A NEUROTOXIN, IS STILL BEING ADDED TO VARIOUS BOTTLED WATER AND DRINKS!

    WARNING!  FLOURIDE, A NEUROTOXIN, IS STILL BEING ADDED TO VARIOUS BOTTLED WATER AND DRINKS!


    The world is slowly waking up to the fact that fluoride, a by-product of the phosphate fertilizer industry, wreaks havoc on the brain and body. Despite peer-reviewed scientific evidence against it, fluoride is still added to 70 percent of U.S. public drinking water supplies.

    What’s more is that processed beverages and food, tea, and even bottled water contain fluoride. That’s right, many popular brands of bottled water have a known neurotoxin added to them.

     Printable List of Bottled Water Containing Fluoride

     

    It’s no wonder that dental fluorosis has skyrocketed in the U.S. over the past 60 years (image right). Dental fluorosis is a side effect of fluoride ingestion that typically effects children. And it’s awful. Click HERE to see what it looks like, but you might want to take my word for it because it’s not a pretty sight.

    Additionally, the aforementioned peer-reviewed evidence against fluoride includes a recent publication in the world renowned, weekly peer-reviewed Medical Journal, the Lancet. This report classifies fluoride as a neurotoxin and concludes that it notably decreases the IQ of children.

     

    Fluoride is a toxic waste from the phosphate fertilizer industry


    In the 1950’s it was determined that phosphate factories emitted toxic gases that were destroying the environment. Crops were scorched, destroyed, and cattle became crippled. Chemical and environmental engineers were employed with the task of filtering this toxic waste so that it would not escape into the atmosphere.

    My former chemistry professor was once one of these engineers and would often reminisce of his days developing and designing what the industry later referred to as scrubbers. Scrubbers were installed to filter out this toxic waste thus protecting communities from harmful gases that when leached into the atmosphere would destroy their health and ecosystem. But were citizens ultimately being protected?

    Chances are that you are currently a victim of the industry’s fluoride emissions although you may not live anywhere near a phosphate plant. For you see, when the scrubbers clean these emissions, hydrofluorosilicic acid, a classified hazardous waste is collected and barreled up. It is then sold to communities across America to be added to the public water supply as the primary fluoride chemical for water fluoridation.

    Of course many people know this disturbing fact and avoid drinking from the tap. But what if I told you that the very water you’re spending a pretty penny on to avoid fluoridation, is too fluoridated. You might be surprised which brands contain fluoride, but when you see who owns them it will all make sense.

    The list below contains data provided by the International Bottled Water Association that you can use to make sure you’re not feeding fluoride to yourself and your family.

    IMF recommends governments confiscate citizens’ assets


    IMF  RECOMMENDS  INDEBTED  GOVERNMENTS  TO  CONFISCATE  CITIZENS'  ASSETS 

    The United States has an official national debt of a mind-boggling $18.93+ trillion.  The national debts of other countries are even worse.

    The debt-to-GDP ratio is a measure of a country’s debt compared to its economic output, which is calculated by dividing its national debt by its GDP, which is the total output of all goods and services of a country and is the primary measure of economic growth or the lack thereof. To illustrate, if the national debt is $1.5 million and the GDP is $1 million, then the debt-to-GDP ratio is:
    $1.5m ÷ $1m = 150%

    Here are the top 7 worst countries in debt-as-a-%-of- GDP as of September 2014 (Forbes):
    1. Japan: 227.2%
    2. Greece: 175.1%
    3. Italy: 132.6%
    4. Portugal: 129%
    5. Singapore: 105.5%
    6. USA: 101.5%
    7. Belgium: 101.5%
    As you can see from the table below, all 7 countries got worse in the 10 years since 2004:

    debt-to-GDP-ratio 2004-2014

    When your debt exceeds your GDP, the prospects of ever paying off that debt are near non-existent, unless the country experiences a sudden and enormous burst of economic productivity.

    The debt situation is so dire that in 2013, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) recommended to indebted governments not just higher taxes, but confiscation of citizens’ assets.

    More perversely still, the IMF’s recommendation of assets-seizure is intended merely to make the national debt “sustainable,” not to actually pay off the debt.

    Note: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is an international organization headquartered in Washington, D.C., of “188 countries working to foster global monetary cooperation, secure financial stability, facilitate international trade, promote high employment and sustainable economic growth, and reduce poverty around the world."

    Formed in 1944 at theBretton Woods Conference, it came into formal existence in 1945 with 29 member countries and the goal of reconstructing the international payment system. Countries contribute funds to a pool through a quota system from which countries experiencing balance-of-payments difficulties can borrow money.

    As of 2010, the IMF fund had about US$755.7 billion. Since July 2011, the IMF’s managing director is a French politician named Christine Lagarde.

    Bill Frezza reports for Forbes, Oct. 15, 2013, that in its October Fiscal Monitor report Taxing Times, the IMF paints a dire picture for advanced economies with high debts that fail to aggressively “mobilize domestic revenue."

    The IMF recommends that drastic measures are called for, from increasing income and consumption taxes to the direct confiscation of assets in the form of a “capital levy” — a “one-off tax” of about 10%, not on the super rich, but on all households with “positive net worth,"
    i.e., everyone with retirement savings or home equity.

    The IMF counsels that it’s best that such a tax be “implemented before avoidance is possible and there is a belief that it will never be repeated,” never mind the fact that high earners have been forking over more money, a higher percentage of their gross income, and a larger share of aggregate national tax revenue in recent years.

    Amazingly, the IMF regards this confiscation of at least 10% of all private “wealth” to be merely “an exceptional measure to restore debt sustainability,” which means:
    1. The IMF knows there are not enough rich people to fund today’s spend-thrift governments.
    2. Confiscation of private property will not pay off national debts, but will merely “restore debt sustainability,” allowing free-spending politicians to keep borrowing.
    Should politicians fail to muster the courage to engage in this kind of wholesale robbery, the IMF posits public debt repudiation and hyperinflation as the only alternative scenario. In other words, the IMF does not and will not consider structural reforms of the Ponzi-scheme entitlement programs that are bankrupting the United States.

    Forbes opined that “If ever there were a roadmap for prompting massive capital flight and emigration of productive citizens toward capitalism’s nascent frontiers in Asia, this is it.” But the IMF has already anticipated that with a suggestion on how governments can restrict the mobility of the rich:
    “Financial wealth is mobile, and so, ultimately, are people. … There may be a case for taxing different forms of wealth differently according to their mobility … Substantial progress likely requires enhanced international cooperation to make it harder for the very well-off to evade taxation by placing funds elsewhere.“

    ARMED OREGON STANDOFF CONTINUES DESPITE ARRESTS AND MURDER OF UNARMED 'PROTESTOR'   




    BURNS, Ore. — A small group of holdouts continued the tense standoff at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge on Thursday, one day after eight others abandoned the site as federal, state and local authorities tightened their grip on the armed occupation.

    Protester David Fry says he and the four others who remain at the refuge are willing to leave if none are criminally charged.

    Duane Leo Ehmer, 45, of Irrigon, Ore., and Dylan Wade Anderson, 34, of Provo, Utah, and Jason S. Patrick, 43, of Bonaire, Ga., were arrested Wednesday at check points manned by the FBI and Oregon State Police, the FBI said. Five others were not arrested.

    Protest leader Ammon Bundy and seven other 'occupiers' also were arrested earlier this week in the 'standoff' that began Jan. 2 as a protest against 'federal management of local land'.  Each faces one federal felony charge of "conspiracy to impede officers of the United States from discharging their official duties through the use of force, intimidation or threats."

    The maximum penalty for a conviction is six years in prison. Oregon criminal defense lawyer Kevin Sali (a TRAITOR and agent for the BAR, the Vati-CON, the queen of England and the United Nations/NATO/UN/NWO) said 'protesters' could face more charges in the near future.  (Say what??!!  For WHAT reason?)  "This is a comparatively mild charge considering what has happened.

    (What the he*l happened?!  The protestors/militia simply tried several times to negotiate with the FBI and Oregon judge and sheriff based on the Constitution while the criminal cabal planned an ambush and the deliberate murder of at least one and the intention of harming and arresting many other unarmed non- threatening protestors. It is NOT the protestors who committed wrongs - but the U.S.A. corporation via the BLM and the FBI thugs along with Oregon sheriff and judge who should be arrested, tried for treason and hung at the gallows along with Harry Reid and the Clintons.)

    Sali, who is not directly involved in the case, told USA TODAY. "It is fairly common for prosecutors to file a basic charge to get people in the system, in this case in custody, while they gather more evidence and work out legal theories."

    Bruce Huber, a Notre Dame law professor who specializes in natural resources, said the efforts of the protesters are not likely to result in major policy changes for managing the nation's 700 million acres of public land. But the protest may prompt an effort by 'federal land managers' to address frustrations at the local level.

    "Managers .... may feel pressure, in light of the standoff, to avoid imposing grazing restrictions or collecting on overdue fees, for example," Huber said. "Individual managers do have a fair amount of discretion under federal law."


    Bundy, 40, was one of six 'protesters' stopped Tuesday at a roadblock 20 miles from the refuge. 

    Robert "LaVoy" Finicum, 55, a soft-spoken but defiant - standing up for the people's Constitutional rights - and a Arizona rancher, UNARMED, was AMBUSHED AND MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD IN FRONT OF WITNESSES - INCLUDING ONE OF HIS DAUGHTERS - SHOT 3 TIMES IN THE FACE AND AT LEAST AN ADDITIONAL 6 TIMES IN HIS BODY AND KILLED. 



    'Officials' - THE MURDERERS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT WITNESSES  - refused to provide details, but his identity was confirmed by his family (daughter?). Bundy and the other four 'protesters' were taken into custody.

    FBI agents are not generally equipped with body cameras, but video of the incident involving Finicum was captured by accompanying law enforcement, an official familiar with the matter said Thursday. The official was not authorized to comment publicly.

    'Authorities' were debating late Thursday whether to provide more details about the confrontation that led to Finicum’s fatal shooting. (Reportedly there was NO CONFRONTATION on the part of the 'protestors'; the FBI et al carried out the outright ambush and MURDER of FINICUM) 
     
    On Wednesday, Bundy urged his followers to leave the refuge, saying the fight "is ours for now in the courts. Please go home."

    Those arrested Tuesday included the Bundy of Emmett, Idaho, and his brother Ryan, 43, of Bunkerville, Nev., along with Brian Cavalier, 44, of Bunkerville;  Shawna Cox, 59, of Kanab, Utah; and Ryan Waylen Payne, 32, of Anaconda, Mont. 

    Also arrested at separate locations in Burns, Ore. near the refuge were Pete Santilli, host of a conservative online radio show and Joseph Donald O'Shaughnessy, 45, of Cottonwood, Ariz.

    Jon Eric Ritzheimer, 32, was arrested after turning himself into police in Peoria, Ariz.


    Three weeks after a group of 'armed protestors' occupied a wildlife refuge in Oregon, the FBI and Oregon State Police moved in to arrest them. VPC

    Bundy is the son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who was involved in a high-profile 2014 standoff with the 'government' over grazing rights. The elder Bundy said the fatal shooting of Finicum and the arrests should be a "wake-up call to America."

    "This is a total disaster to be happening in America, where we have federal people killing innocent people," he told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "My sons were there to do good."

    New Lens Detects Invisible Entities

    New Lens Detects Invisible Entities

    THUNDER ENERGIES CORPORATION


    FKTV.IS - Alexandra Bruce - January 28, 2016


    Thunder Energies Corp (TNRG:OTC) has recently announced that it's detected invisible entities in the terrestrial environment with their new concave-lens Santilli telescope.


    Previously, Thunder Energies Corporation presented evidence for the apparent existence of antimatter galaxies, antimatter asteroids and antimatter cosmic rays. In this new breakthrough, Thunder Energies has presented evidence for Invisible Terrestrial Entities (ITE) of the dark and bright type.
    This is an exciting discovery. We do not know what these entities are; they’re completely invisible to our eyes, our binoculars, or traditional Galileo telescopes, but these objects are fully visible in cameras attached to our Santilli telescope,” stated Dr. Ruggero Santilli, CEO Thunder Energies Corporation.
    Dr. Santilli is the author of the “Apparent Detection via New Telescopes with Concave Lenses of Otherwise Invisible Terrestrial Entities (ITE),” published by the American Journal of Modern Physics.
    Dr. Santilli is a member of CERN, is the author of hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific papers and has been a professor of mathematics and of physics at MIT and at Harvard University, besides being nominated for the Nobel Prize and other prestigious awards.
    Today, he is the CEO and Chief Science Officer of Thunder Energies Corporation, in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. Thunder Energies develops technologies in optics, nuclear physics and alternative fuel.

    Comment by Groundlocked Thursday, Jan 28 2016, 05:24PM  -  Very interesting, yet not surprising if you've participated in Indigenous ceremonies, where there is engagement with these non-physical entities. The fact that they're hanging out around human installations shows that they are aware of our existence, or attracted to something we give off. According to medicine people, the dark entities are like vampires, feeding off negative emotions, and the light entities are like angels, providing inspiration and energy to people doing positive work. Some people have seen these things, under certain conditions. If we go to ET lore, the telescope may be picking up on another dimension or phase shift of our reality, in which case there are stories of lizard beings working through "Grey aliens" and humans to instigate negative emotions. Perhaps they, like humans, require positive and negative energy sources (think Matrix) and we're just the renewable resource they've been using to fuel their societies...ironic, or just desserts? 
     
    Comment by John D. Thursday, Jan 28 2016, 12:05PM  - TOTALLY possible I think. We didn't know about cells before microscopes, x-rays before "readers", radio waves before radios, DNA and/or RNA and all that goes along with them before we "knew of their existence" and in fact we STILL do not know all there is to know about these structures, activities, interactions, etc., atomic activity before we had geiger counters and the list goes on and on. Remember that at one time in the past, "we" thought the Earth was flat!!!! To think that we "know all there is to know" today is totally crazy,,,,,,,,, just look at history. Just because "IT" doesn't make sense to us, with in our current knowledge base, doesn't preclude that "IT" is real. The link worked for me but I did have to klick it twice.

    Hillary Clinton’s Nightmare - The FBI investigation and her e-mails


    HILLARY CLINTON'S NIGHTMARE 
     
     
    January 28, 2016


    Hillary Clinton’s nightmare is not the sudden resurgence of Bernie Sanders. It is the fidelity to the rule of law of the FBI.

    The recent revelations of the receipt by Clinton of a Special Access Program email, as well as cut and pasted summaries of state secrets on her server and on her BlackBerry nearly guarantee that the FBI will recommend that the Department of Justice convene a grand jury and seek her indictment for espionage. Here is the backstory.

    It seems that every week, more information comes to light about Clinton’s grave legal woes. Her worries are in two broad categories: One is her well-documented failure to safeguard state secrets and the other is her probable use of her position as secretary of state to advance financially her husband’s charitable foundation. 

    FBI is currently and aggressively investigating both. What I will describe below is in the state secrets category. It is apparently not new to the FBI, but it is new to the public.

    Among the data that the FBI either found on the Clinton server or acquired from the State Department via its responses to Freedom of Information Act requests is a top-secret email that has been denominated Special Access Program. Top secret is the highest category of state secrets (the other categories are confidential and secret), and of the sub-parts of top secret, SAP is the most sensitive.

    SAP is clothed in such secrecy that it cannot be received or opened accidentally. Clinton – who ensured all of her governmental emails came to her through her husband’s server, a nonsecure nongovernmental venue – could only have received or viewed it from that server after inputting certain codes. Those codes change at unscheduled times, such that she would need to inquire of them before inputting them.

    The presence of the SAP-denominated email on her husband’s server, whether opened or not, shows a criminal indifference to her lawful obligation to maintain safely all state secrets entrusted to her care. Yet, Clinton has suggested that she is hopelessly digitally inept and may not have known what she was doing. 

    This constitutes an attempted plausible deniability to the charge of failing to safeguard state secrets.  But in this sensitive area of the law, plausible deniability is not an available defense; no judge would permit the assertion of it in legal filings or in a courtroom, and no lawyer would permit a client to make the assertion.

    This is so for two reasons. First, failure to safeguard state secrets is a crime for which the government need not prove intent. The failure can be done negligently. Thus, plausible deniability is actually an admission of negligence and, hence in this case, an admission of guilt, not a denial.

    Second, Clinton signed an oath under penalty of perjury on Jan. 22, 2009, her first full day as secretary of state. In that oath, she acknowledged that she had received a full FBI briefing on the lawfully required care and keeping of state secrets. Her briefing and her oath specified that the obligation to safeguard state secrets is absolute – it cannot be avoided or evaded by forgetfulness or any other form of negligence, and that negligence can bring prosecution.

    What type of data is typically protected by the SAP denomination? The most sensitive under the sun – such as the names of moles (spies working for more than one government) and their American handlers, the existence of black ops (illegal programs that the U.S. government carries out, of which it will deny knowledge if exposed), codes needed to access state secrets and ongoing intelligence gathering projects.

    The crime here occurs when SAPs are exposed by residing in a nonsecure venue; it does not matter for prosecution purposes whether they fell into the wrong hands.

    Clinton’s persistent mocking of the seriousness of all this is the moral equivalent of taunting alligators before crossing a stream. SAPs are so sensitive that most of the FBI agents who are investigating Clinton lack the security clearances needed to view the SAP found among her emails. Most FBI agents have never seen a SAP.

    Shortly after the presence of the SAP-denominated email was made known, the State Department released another email Clinton failed to erase wherein she instructed her subordinates to take state secrets from a secure venue, to cut and paste and summarize them, and send them to her on her nonsecure venue. Such an endeavor, if carried out, is a felony – masking and then not safeguarding state secrets. Such a command to subordinates can only come from a criminal mind.

    Equally as telling is a little-known 2013 speech that recently surfaced given by one of Clinton’s former subordinates. The aide revealed that Clinton and her staff regularly engaged in digital conversations about state secrets on their BlackBerries. This is not criminal if the BlackBerries were government-issued and secured. Clinton’s was neither. It was purchased at her instructions off the shelf by one of her staff.

    Can anyone doubt that Clinton has failed to safeguard state secrets? 

    If her name were Hillary Rodham instead of Hillary Rodham Clinton, she’d have been indicted months ago.

    What remains of the rule of law in America? 

    The FBI will soon tell us.

    Pentagon on Afghanistan: US ‘Can’t Really Leave’


    Pentagon on Afghanistan: US ‘Can’t Really Leave’

    15-Year Occupation to Last Multiple Generations More

    by Jason Ditz, January 26, 2016
    While presenting it as a shift in President Obama’s mindset, Pentagon officials are talking up the idea that the US occupation of Afghanistan, which began in late 2001, is not just extended for a couple of additional years but will continue for several more decades, and for all intents and purposes may as well be permanent.

    “What we’ve learned is that you can’t really leave,” one Pentagon official was quoted in the Washington Post as insisting, while other officials openly talked about a “generational approach,” in which the US stays for generations more to create an entire new Afghanistan.

    Despite making some statements of aversion to “endless war,” Obama has never really appeared all that eager to end the Afghanistan occupation, and the end dates were always speculative dates set by NATO to give the impression the war was winding down.

    Yet all along, these end dates were based on the assumption of a nigh-miraculous improvement in the Afghan military that hasn’t happened yet, and it was always more or less assumed the date would just keep getting punted down the road until victory just sort of happens.

    The change isn’t that the US is staying, but that the Pentagon is doing away with the pretense of leaving in any measurable timeframe. 

    From the Afghan military’s widespread corruption to the growth of ISIS in the nation’s southeast, all the military talking points are now that the Afghans aren’t ready, but that these Afghans likely never will be.

    Instead, the shift toward “generational war” means measuring success a few decades down the road to see if the Pentagon can successfully rear the Afghan children being born today into the sort of pro-US warrior state that they’d feel comfortable turning back over to its population. If not, we just roll the dice on the next generation, and so on.

    Keep sharp in retirement!


    Keep sharp in retirement!
      As we slowly move through (or into) retirement, we need to keep ourselves occupied with small projects 
    like this guy

    I know, I know....    
    I saw it right away,  too

    No safety glasses or hearing protection
    And I caught something else that is really important.

    I might be up in age
    but I am still sharp as a tack!

    Cover letter to Pope Francis from Judge Anna Von Reitz...

    We are indeed calling upon you in your Extraordinary role as Trustee of the Unam Sanctum Trust and the Jurisdiction of the Air to act in our behalf in this matter addressed to the Board of Directors and Boards of Governors of the World Bank/IBRD/IMF.  Hard copy with seals is in the mail to you and HRM Elizabeth and those directly addressed. 
     
    The Great Fraud that the Holy See and your predecessors participated in is fully known and exposed to millions of people worldwide.  Whatever the circumstances and reasons for this participation they are not important now. 
     
    What remains is a prompt removal of false claims and improper administration of the Global Estate and especially our part of it.   We suggest that you access the Emergency Stabilization Funds and pay the American Armed Forces without respect to Jacob Rothschild.  His offer to operate the UNITED STATES under new management as a Successor has been rebuffed as just more of the same destructive and dishonest fraud. 
     
    As we discussed with Pope Benedict in 2008 and as we have kept you advised since then, the entire mechanism and basis of this fraud--- including the Medieval misinterpretation of the Afterbirth as a deformed dying child and the establishment of an infant decedant estate in their behalf---has been fully exposed.  The Holy See's culpability is evident in the Summa Theologica and manifest in the current circumstance.  
     
    The role of the Bar Associations, the Middle Temple especially in this instance, and the banks also is self-evident.  The privateers unleashed upon our trusting shores have wrecked their havoc and siphoned off our wealth for over a hundred years.  In those same hundred years Americans have loyally paid off immense sums of debt not their own and have preserved by industry and force of arms both the Papacy and the Monarchy; we are the Creditors in this situation and will not be obliged to accept any other role. 
     
    We would also appreciate your correction of the ongoing false arrest and imprisonment of millions of Americans who have been incarcerated for profit  by the UN Corp dba IMF dba UNITED STATES and the FEDERAL RESERVE and their respective "STATE" and "COUNTY" franchises. We request the immediate and unconditional release of all people born on our soil who are being held for victimless crimes, including all those Americans being held for failure to file paperwork and pay taxes they don't owe. 
     
    We request the end of the Foreclosure Fraud wrecking our country and its people, and the end of the use of private commercial mercenaries disguised as legitimate government employees on our soil--such as the ongoing situation in Burns, Oregon, where FBI Agents are threatening the people they are obligated to serve.  
     
    We request the prompt liquidation of those banks and Bar Associations found to be operating as crime syndicates throughout the world and the transfer of their assets to new management dedicated to upholding the actual Law of Our Father.  
     
    We note that the Roman Curia is responsible for the existence of all incorporated legal personas and that the Office of the Pope has retained both the right and the responsibility to repeal all statutory laws which are repugnant to justice and morality and to liquidate all corporations that are operating unlawfully and in violation of their charters. 
     
    We request your assistance and the assistance of all your appointed administrators, Cardinals, Archbishops, Priests and Lay Brothers to re-educate and inform people everywhere concerning the nature of the Great Fraud and the justice of our actions as Children of God and beneficiaries of the Global Estate Trust.  
     
    We wish an end to toleration of usury and idolatry in our midst and the adoption of a system of international cooperation to deliver credit, assistance, and relief to all people on this planet.  We have already suggested both an appropriate rationale and technology to deliver credit owed to every living man, woman, and child as well as a means for them and their countries to receive investment funding for all necessary and good purposes--- which shall no longer include making war and no longer include any necessity for defense of their lawful prerogatives.  
     
    All that is happening has been long foretold and should come as no surprise to anyone concerned.  The true Kingdom of God is come.  When what is true comes, the false must pass away.  When the actual government stands up, that which merely represents it must stand down. When the actual people are present all "persons" must be dissolved. 
     
    He is come and we are come.  This is the end of the world as people have known it and the transfer of power from Lucifer to the Lamb of God.  
     
    We have established a lawful Commercial Obligation Lien in the amount of $279 trillion United States Dollars defined as one ounce of fine silver against the American Bar Association (ABA) and the International Bar Association (IBA) and the mis-named DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE for their part in these nefarious, long-lived, and pernicious acts of fraud and theft against the American People and our lawful government.   We request the immediate assistance of the Universal Postal Union and the Federal Marshals to aid in collection and enforcement of this debt from the offenders and their employers, the Federal Reserve Banks and the International Monetary Fund. 
     
    A reward of 20% of all assets recovered is set aside as part of the lien provisions.  
     
    These and all other such symbols of value are to be used only as a means to secure an orderly transition. These and other forms of idols must be recognized for what they are and ultimately relegated to the dustbin of history. When we were children we thought as children. Now we must think and act and be as Sons of the True and Living God.
     
    You have chosen St. Francis as your patron and namesake and that claim upon his Spirit is upon One who was and is a true Lover of Man and Our Father in Heaven, so let it be that you act promptly in favor of the beneficiaries of the Earth and in accordance with the Will of all those who love the Only and True I Am.
