Sorry. One comment left out from Cole's Enemy Aliens: Using the IEEPA of 1977 (International Emergency Economic Powers Act) as amended by USA-PATRIOT, Jr. blocked all transactions w/any organization designated by Executive Order as supporting terrorists ... no criminal conviction, criminal charge or even an administrative hearing necessary, in other words, the executive may unilaterally, and "entirely in secret, using undisclosed criteria ... without substantive standards or meaningful procedural safeguards, "designate" anyone or any organization as a "terrorist supporter, sympathizer, etc." and he/she/they/it becomes immediately subject to the ultimate Beast dictate: "blocking of all of an entity's or person's assets, makes it a crime to engage in any economic transactions with the designated entity or individual ... [via] PATRIOT Act authoriz[ation to] the Treasury Department to freeze assets on the mere assertion that an individual or entity is under investigation for potentially violating IEEPA. [Using that same authorization] the government [can] defend that freeze order in court with secret evidence, presented behind closed doors, and not disclosed to the party whose assets are frozen." Of historic interest: The IEEPA was enhanced in 2007 since Cole wrote this. Enhanced being code for made worse.
Oh, shit, just give us the short take. No one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
What appears to be true is often not true. This is a disconnect. People who want something from you often appear to be what you want. They are not. This is a disconnect. We believe in images projected by smoke and mirrors because the truth frightens us. This is a disconnect. Here are connections exposing your disconnections. Stay connected.

How the atheist Chinese get hooked into the cashless Beast global economy w/forward on economic backwardness by Paul Krugman: Chinese Confusions
The Beast and the ultimate con of the Power of Nightmares -- the cashless society (see The Power Of Nightmares)
Comment on the NYT article from only last week, China's Army of Graduates Is Struggling: "1, [Chinese] econ has hit an interim, maybe long-term peak, unable to handle the grad pipeline output; 2, Chinese military will use [the surplus graduates] as spies after they're hired ... in US/Eurozone"; this is similar to the ongoing push by the US military to become uncomfortably influential in the civilian sector here; see Op-Ed Contributor: Turn In Your Bin Ladens, in today's NYT, which was written by Jonathan Lipow, associate professor of economics at the Defense Resource Management Institute at the Naval Postgraduate School [DRMI]. The DRMI is strictly a military school for advanced military personnel. According the DRMI (see THE DEFENSE RESOURCES MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE), "[A]ll DRMI courses have two overarching goals: to provide an analytical framework for making defense resources allocation decisions and to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas. ... DRMI has been at the forefront of the Expanded International Military Education and Training (E-IMET) initiative" [emphasis added] which is an admission that, of course, DRMI is an arm of the Department of Defense. So, it's actually a lot more than uncomfortable, downright chilling, that Lipow is weighing into civilian politics by asserting that, because "the military has gradually realized that the anonymity of cash makes it easy for terrorists and insurgents to smuggle in money and make purchases without a trace ... for [that reason, in] the past few years the military has been striving to replace its cash transactions with electronic fund transfers and debit card payments in the hopes of achieving a 'cashless battlefield,' in the words of Peter Kunkel, a former assistant secretary of the Army", "why not eliminate the use of physical cash worldwide — not just a 'cashless battlefield' but a “cashless economy”? [emphasis added]
Although that may sound attractive and even doable, as Lipow points out ("From a technical point of view, such an initiative is entirely feasible."), even offering the oh-so-f**king-helpful note that Kenyans can do this, too, the cashless society idea is for those who are, whether surreptitiously or not so surreptitiously in this case, in favor of the final economic "initiative" (in military terms) wherein, in military style, the brutal invasion of the private sector by the Beast economy (where no man or woman can buy or sell without the cashless-society's ultimate currency of no-choice, the 666 biochip, as previously described in the post entitled "If you could read my mind, love ... " of 12/9/10). Furthermore, the leap forward into this mindset, never mind the technological hurdles, was the 9/11 legislative fall-out known as the USA-PATRIOT Act, or Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, which is a typically gag-me-with-a-shovel jingoistic load of bullshit that Jr.'s administration foisted on America, after his Neo-Con pals plotted, planned and executed the entirely treasonous Twin Towers debacle (see, e.g., Crossing the Rubicon by Mike Ruppert). Even liberal commentators have been recruited to entomb the Bush administration's complicity in 9/11 by parroting the 9/11-was-just-what-the-9/11-
Commission-said-it-was line, casting so-called Truthers as conspiracy theorists, as though the criminal statutes, both federal and all States, dealing with conspiracy have never yielded tons of convictions, more than any other area of criminal matters, since most serious crimes involve some measure of conspiracy.
What few Americans realize is that the USA-PATRIOT Act was nearly the full-blown Beast legislation (rushed through a stupified Congress and signed by Jr. on 10/26/01). In attorney David Cole's analysis of the USA-PATRIOT Act, Enemy Aliens (publ. 2003, see, e.g., David Cole – Enemy Aliens & Constitutional Freedoms), he described the effect of this turning point on the complete end of freedom in this country (arrow pointing straight-down and plunging) via the Hydra-headed monster, Operation "Total Information and Protection System" (TIPS) and its operational butt-head "Total Information Awareness" (see, e.g., Total Information Awareness - American Civil Liberties Union), sprouting out of the ass of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA | Home), the mean, nasty version of James Bond's M. Cole: "The project aims to develop technology to collect and search all the computer-accessible information about individuals that currently exists in the public and private sectors." Cole, however, underestimated, by a factor of several zillion, the state of surveillance capabilities even then in 2003; in fact, Cole's pronouncement that "the government lacks the capacity to collect and search [the public and private sectors] on a mass scale for law enforcement ends" was the vic, to put in polite terms, of a classic dodo-lack of sophistication relative to said "capacity", the less charitable view being that Cole fell prey to the disinformation put out by governmental agencies and the even less-charitable, co-conspiratorial view being that Cole was passing on disinformation knowingly ... which I doubt.
After backing off near braggadocio, in 2003, early 2004 found the Beastie Boys of 666 finagling their way into improving their image and sneak back onto the playing field of public awareness (and, thereafter, acceptance by fatigue) of TIPS/TIA (see TIA/ACLU link, above). What Ruppert described (Rubicon, op cit.) was the situation that had been developing since Edwin Meese had first co-opted the PROMIS software (see posted response of 12/12, entitled "The software that's already running the Beast system, the Synagogue of Satan in the Church ... "): That PROMIS had invaded every area of the world's electronically-linked IT system. Interwoven into Ruppert's narrative is the inevitable interweaving, via PROMIS, of all spook agencies and all spooks (FBI, CIA, Defense Intel, IRS, etcetcetc.) via NSA/Google using PROMIS algorithms.
What Ruppert didn't discuss, and apparently will never discuss at this point (if he ever knew), is that the castle-keep of PROMIS is in the bulwark of encryption/decryption of the very closely-held redoubt -- the security algorithms based on the encoding of the nuances of the Navajo language, which cannot be broken and by which other IT systems cannot resist being broken (for dramatization, not the technical aspects, by spook-fellow-traveler Chris Carter, see the Navajo-code-talker episodes of "The X-Files" and John Woo's 2002 roman a clef "Windtalkers"), the only IT system not subject to PROMIS being the divine codes. The Israelis (Sephardic Lubavitcher chapter) have tried to and have not succeeded in using the so-called Bible Codes of the original Hebrew Old Testament to hack the inner sanctum of PROMIS without success. They're not worthy and never will be; Navajo is the original one language, pre-dating that incident at Babel, pre-dating Hebrew, which confuses all languages that post-date Babel, including programming languages.
How the heck did this comment get to this juncture from the Paul Krugman post, link below? Because the Chinese are now in a bigger Chinese box than any they've ever imagined in their wildest Crouching/Hiding dreams. Lured into the global con, spun by the likes of PROMIS-empowered Goldman Sachs and the Queen's special narco-agents (via the Treaty of Paris of 1763), the Chinese under Mao chopped off the tentacles with which the Brits had permeated China ever since the massive and lucrative opium trade had been used to dominate the sleepy, noddy Chinese behemoth.
The fulsome entry of the mainland Chinese into Western commerce via, eek!, capitalism, the sprawling consequences being enjoyed by Trilateral Commission partners, US, Eurozone and Japan, has brought them into the fold that the Rockefellers' Council on Foreign Relations had wanted to bring the world's biggest consumer market, originally via Chiang Kai-Shek; Chiang turned out to be, uh, unattractive compared to the Chairman and was relegated to a relatively tiny island off the coast of mainland China. Chiang's control over the Golden Triangle was also untenable with Mao being ceded that most valuable of commercial franchises, at least at the beginning of Mao's subtle move into the big business of big China; hence, Nixon and Kissinger with Daddy Bush at their service made the unpublished deal that launched a new era in the Opium Wars where the Chinese were in charge ... somewhat. They had watched while the CIA had harvested the Golden Triangle for enormous profits (see, e.g., The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia), laundering the proceeds through the Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank (the HongShang Bank, now HSBC to get away from the shitsmell of 400 years of dope dealing; hmm, sniffsniff, nope, doesn't help), sitting like a carbuncle on their ass in that teeming coastal bastion of Brit colonialism.
Hu Jintao, major mogul of the tea-and-no-crumpets set (no milk?! How barbaric, eh, guv'na?), thinks he's got the US on the hook. As has been said in previous posts and laid out succinctly by Prof. Krugman -- not quite and not nearly. The most stunning and compelling proof of that was only given the glancing-blow treatment in the press -- the little, big dust-up over the hacking of Google by an IT school run by the Chinese military by a former Soviet IT specialist (see Hacking Inquiry Puts China’s Elite in New Light, NYT, 2/22/10, & follow-on articles). What was not reported at any time was the triple-cross of the obscure IT school run by the Chinese military, Lanxiang Vocational School in Shandong Province (officials of which asserted that their high school students "are not capable of sophisticated hacking"), having been used by an apparent pass-through hacker, suspected of being Russian.
Such hackers can leave no fingerprints, although they can leave PROMIS-style uploading bugs in the source code of, e.g., Google (see, e.g., Fearing Hackers Who Leave No Trace, NYT, 1/19/10) ... if they could; however, w/Google, the only code that's hackable is that which is intended to be a reverse Trojan horse, that is, when a hacker opens a portal to code that's strictly "bait" to attempt to hack/bug Google, that code uploads code back through the portal, such code being unhackable (see Navajo-code discussion, above) and, what's muchmuchmuch worse, booby-trapped, that is, should the hacker try to undo the bug, all that will be left of the hacker's code on all systems subsequently interconnected with that bug is ZILCH! All the lights will go out in China. For a word-picture, watch the sequence from the original 1993 episode of Jurassic Park, wherein J-P IT 2nd in command Ray Arnold (played by Samuel L. Jackson) attempts to access system control software and sets off a booby-trap set by the devious IT 1st in command Dennis Nedry (played by Wayne Knight).
Thus, the Chinese, having such an immense corpus to watch w/o having the total-package capabilities of PROMIS or quite the electronic infrastructure as the US and the Eurozone have, haven't been so enthusiastically in with the total-package capabilities of the Beast. Oh, Jintao, you're such a control freak. Guess what? You're in, now, 100%. Confused? Relax, sit back, you're no longer in control, freak.
The DRMI has proposed total financial/commercial control using the same PROMIS-based systems as that which have now executed a clandestine hostile takeover of China, in which the Chinese are said to be the villains. The DARPA genies working the controls of the DRMI-ventriloquist-dummy realize that via the elimination of all currency, all e-roads end in the 666 Beast computer system, front-end by the Mormons (see, e.g., the post entitled "@ The Beast w/shill-in-chief Beck", 10/5/10). As the posts re Beck show, the Mormons think they're going to save the Constitution, apparently, by destroying it (too late!!). What DRMI demand-disguised-as-a-polite- suggestion (think, cop "suggesting" that, "You people, move along now, nothing to see here.") demonstrates, from a constitutional perspective is that the 3rd Amendment, the one with the fewest, by far, Supreme Court rulings pertaining to it than any other (try "none ... ever"), is the most dangerous: No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law. The military is now in-your-face-in-your-house-w/ o-your-consent, intrusion by NSA/Google ... permanently. Orwell's 1984 is so ... uh, 1984.
Previous post of 3/18/10: Internet intercourse - the end of privacy
The advent of the social networking services - e.g., Facebook, Twitter, etc. - represents the final threads that tie together the spidery side of the worldwide web. As described in the NYT article, “How Privacy Vanishes Online” (3/17/10, posted 1:14 pm, nytimes.com, Tech Update), the seemingly harmless tidbits of information voluntarily released into the e-wind can be woven into a rather serious whole cloth of an individual’s life, an intelligence tapestry worthy of a p.i. on retainer.
The recent international dust-up over the hacking of Google via computers located in two schools in China is an iceberg tip to the under-the-surface massive integration of the individual tapestries into the worldwide quilt (wwq?). While the schools in China have been positively I.D.ed by the National Security Agency (NSA) as the site of the computers involved, the source of the problem may have originated elsewhere; i.e., the professor whose charges were sitting at their desks doing their schoolwork was a Russian whose ulterior motive may have been to route KGB/Russian-Mafiya hacking through the teenagers’ systems by infecting those systems with an appropriate virus, unbeknownst to the students. The Chinese government denies hacking Google; maybe, they’re being truthful (but that would be first, wouldn’t it).
The background noise in this echo chamber is the chatter about the Chinese v. the Russians; neither is the major player in this game, even though the Chinese Google-wanna-be, Baidu, has seen its stock rocket since last spring to now being worth more than the pricey Google stock. The central theme to be derived out of the controlled leaks, which culminated in the January threat by Google to pull out of China (jacking BIDU up even more), is that Google and NSA are the Mr. Outside and Mr. Inside of the wwq.
Google didn’t ask NSA to look into the hacking assault in February, when announced, but, rather, NSA knew of the hacking in April when it first was detected … by NSA. It may be that the Google techs knew of the attack simultaneously with NSA, but, since NSA tracks EVERYTHING electronically communicated on Earth, there’s no question NSA knew as soon as it was possible to know. Hence, the scenario was more likely to have been NSA, and perhaps Google, detect the maneuvers, NSA informs Google (the NSA-techs of which may have then said they already knew), NSA/Google work to discover the computers directly responsible, the fact of the hacking is used to buy shares in BIDU in April, shares of GOOG are shorted prior to the public announcement of the attack and the semi-intention by Google to pull out of China if, as and for a cover story, Google will remain on the hook for censoring its Google.CN search engine, the one running solely in China.
Because NSA is the big hound of hell of national security (it’s in its name fer cryin’ out loud), no one in the SEC is going to investigate this particularly egregious perpetration of insider trading, since the SEC would impale itself on the very spiky, though fraudulently wielded, shield of national security that’s up 86,400/1440/24/7/365-6 (on Leap years) at NSA. The “national security” play ploy is trotted out every time spooks want to do anything criminal, which for NSA is 86,400/1440 … blah! blah! blah!
The Chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt, is a close advisor to Prez Obama, as Mr. Outside, the public face of the wwq. The real chairman of NSA is unknown, since anyone whose name appears on the NSA marquee is a no one; nevertheless, that’s Mr. Inside, the guy that used to be referred to as “the man who kept the secrets” originating in the bad old days of CIA Director Richard M. Helms, when the CIA controlled the NSA, not the other way around.
So, the NSA/Google axis has virtual (an appropriate adjective) total tracking control over all communications - whether internet, cell-phone, landline phone, etc. As to voice communications, those are run through a nearly flawless voice recognition system which “listens” for key words in ALL phone conversations; when such words are “heard” the full conversation is made subject to more complete analysis, utilizing the full-bore routine of NSA’s “beast” version of artificial intelligence software, although other factors will also trigger the advanced analysis. The version stolen and sold by former Reagan AG Edwin Meese to foreign intelligence agencies was modified by the so-called “king of the hackers” Michael J. Riconosciuto.
The NSA version of this software has decryption capabilities that cannot presently be defeated, despite claims to the contrary, e.g., the not-clever-by-half Russian cum Chinese (or vice versa) hackers. Potentially successful, even unbreakable, encryption methods that haven’t been tried are known by NSA to be possible, but no one, not the Russians, not the Chinese, nor anyone else currently with the technical expertise/equipment (even NSA), has the multiplexing thought process required to perfect those encryption methods.
This NSA/Google twin-terror is, thus, the reason why putting any information out there on the internet is far more risky than suggested by the NYT article. You could easily say (and probably should) in a fatalistic fashion that it doesn’t matter, that if they really want to get you, they will. NSA/Google are not why you should be careful, just as the super-car-thief is not the reason you lock your car; if a super-car-thief wants your car, he’ll get it, whereas if an ordinary schlep car thief wants your car, the somewhat primitive theft protections installed on your car will likely send him back to the woodshed for more training. Same with the internet; NSA/Google can steal any part of your identity they want - they just have no interest in small fish, except in the ability to capture the data of ALL the small fish. It’s those marginally-skilled internet phishers that you want to foil and can foil by being less generous with your information, made much easier to obtain, as the NYT article correctly proposes; what NYT writer Lohr does not describe is that this ease of loss of privacy has been opened by the NSA/Google genie, a dark eminence, brooding over the wwq, wanting all information to be available 86,400/1440 … blah! blah! blah!
.
These self-inflicted invasions of privacy are, furthermore, implied consent to burrow in even deeper; in e-context, all that’s missing is the RSVP to anyone interested in the person of interest, picked at random off of the increasing harvest of, and easily picked, low fruit. Often, maybe more often than not, the RSVP is explicit to particular individuals, but taken to be so for the general internet public predator.
Previous post: @ The Beast w/shill-in-chief Beck, 10/5/10
Re: my previous e-mail describing Beck as the "tit of the Beast"; the idolization of the constitution is a Mormon/Beast-inspired form of unholy worship. Y'Shua did NOT command worship of a particular governmental system. Rom. 13 commands that you obey the "powers that be", meaning, legitimate governmental power delegated via the Holy Spirit "upon" the designee, eg, Isa. 9:6-7, cf. 11:2, Mat. 3:16. Therefore, above all, including ABOVE the constitution, obey those who have the earnest of the Holy Spirit upon them, eg, Acts 2:1-4, 17-18.
Those who worship the constitution above those who have been ordained with the true government of the Holy Spirit, and are, thus, aligned with the Mormon Beast, will be in danger of being entrapped into accepting the biochip "mark of the beast".
As I've warned, the vast majority of Fundamentalist/Evangelicals are of the Synagogue of Satan, the Rev. 2:9 version, because they are false claimants to being spiritual Jews and will be supporters of the more dangerous SOS group, Rev. 3:9, the radical genocidal Likud Party (+ the ADL/B'nai B'rith), comprised of Sephardim, descendants of the race of Carians of whom Judas Ish'cariot (man of the Carians) was a member.
Finally, as I've written for 15 years, the constitution was taken off the table by the final nail in a coffin 80 years in the making, that nail being the Judicial Revision Act of 1947. Without addressing that final nail and the coffin, the constitution canNOT be resurrected. No one, no one, no one who claims to want to hold those in apparent authority to constitutional restrictions knows what they're doing, proceeding as though it's unnecessary to deconstruct the coffin. This is politics, not miracle-working.
Besides, those who claim to have Holy Spirit authority are so pathetically ignorant of the principles of true Government, their efforts are regularly and rightfully ignored by the source of true Government. Absolute adherence to the divine Laws and Commands by those who are ordained with true Governmental authority is a requirement; see, eg, I Sam. 16:13-14, where the Holy Spirit of government was removed from Saul for ignoring, even once, his duties as King. Almost NO believer has any idea what they're supposed to be doing with respect to this principle from I Samuel - "The king can do no wrong", meaning, any duly delegated earthly king, standing in place of the one true King of kings is not allowed to, is not permitted to, is forbidden from doing a single thing the King would not Himself do.

Dana Milbank: Mormon Prophecy Behind Glenn Beck's Message
October 5, 2010 08:58:08

In one of his first appearances on Fox News, Glenn Beck sent a coded message to the nation's six million Mormons -- or at least those Mormons who believe in what the Latter-day Saints call "the White Horse Prophecy."
"We are at the place where the Constitution hangs in the balance," Beck told Bill O'Reilly on November 14, 2008, just after President Obama's election. "I feel the Constitution is hanging in the balance right now, hanging by a thread unless the good Americans wake up."
The Constitution is hanging by a thread.
Most Americans would have heard this as just another bit of overblown commentary and thought nothing more of it. But to those familiar with the White Horse Prophecy, it was an unmistakable signal.
The phrase is often attributed to the Prophet Joseph Smith, founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormon Church. Smith is believed to have said in 1840 that when the Constitution hangs by a thread, elders of the Mormon Church will step in -- on the proverbial white horse -- to save the country.
"When the Constitution of the United States hangs, as it were, upon a single thread, they will have to call for the 'Mormon' Elders to save it from utter destruction; and they will step forth and do it," Brigham Young, Smith's successor as head of the church, wrote in 1855.
Was it just a coincidence in wording, or was Beck, a 1999 Mormon convert, speaking in coded language about the need to fulfill the Mormon prophecy? A conversation on Beck's radio show ten days earlier would seem to rule out coincidence. Beck was interviewing Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, also a Mormon, when he said: "I heard Barack Obama talk about the Constitution and I thought, we are at the point or we are very near the point where our Constitution is hanging by a thread."
"Well, let me tell you something," Hatch responded. "I believe the Constitution is hanging by a thread."
Days after Beck's Fox show started in January 2009, he had Hatch on, and again prompted him: "I believe our Constitution hangs by a thread."
Large numbers of Mormons watch Beck, but likely an even larger number of his viewers and radio listeners are evangelical Protestants who have no idea that Beck is preaching to them an obscure prophecy of the Latter-day Saints -- a faith many conservative Christians malign as a cult. In addition to the coded allusions to the White Horse Prophecy, he often brings Mormon theology into his broadcasts (he touts the thinking of late church president Ezra Taft Benson and he frequently promotes the work Mormon conspiracy theorist Cleon Skousen) but without identifying them with the LDS church.
Before the Mormons went west, Smith traveled to Washington seeking help for his oppressed followers and received nothing but frustration. Rather than turning on the government, however, "They considered themselves the last Real Americans, the legitimate heirs of the pilgrims and Founding Fathers," Pat Bagley wrote in the Salt Lake Tribune. "And, they believed, the very survival of the Constitution depended on the Saints. From Smith on, LDS leaders prophesied the Constitution would one day hang by a thread, only to be saved by Mormons."
A compilation of church leaders' statements over the years by the journal BYU Studies shows this strain of thinking. Though there are doubts about whether Smith actually wrote the phrase "hang by a thread," his successors left no doubt about the theology behind it. Orson Hyde, a Smith contemporary, wrote that Smith believed that "the time would come when the Constitution and the country would be in danger of an overthrow; and said [Smith]: 'If the Constitution be saved at all, it will be by the elders of this Church.'"
The church's fifth leader, Charles Nibley, believed that "the day would come when there would be so much of disorder, of secret combinations taking the law into their own hands, tramping upon Constitutional rights and the liberties of the people, that the Constitution would hang as by a thread. Yes, but it will still hang, and there will be enough of good people, many who may not belong to our Church at all, people who have respect for law and for order, and for Constitutional rights, who will rally around with us and save the Constitution."
The prophecy was renewed with each generation of church leadership. "The prophet Joseph Smith said the time will come when, through secret organizations taking the law into their own hands . . . the Constitution of the United States would be so torn and rent asunder, and life and property and peace and security would be held of so little value, that the Constitution would, as it were, hang by a thread," church apostle Melvin Ballard said in 1928. "This Constitution will be preserved, but it will be preserved very largely in consequence of what the Lord has revealed and what this people, through listening to the Lord and being obedient, will help to bring about, to stabilize and give permanency and effect to the Constitution itself. That also is our mission."
And now it is Beck's mission. Secret organizations? Tramping on liberties? Breakdown of law and order? Shredding the Constitution? Betraying the Founders? This is the core of Beck's message, in his own words: "Some people in the government seem to have a problem, you know, shredding the Constitution." And: "You're trying to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, friends. It's in trouble." And: "He" -- that would be Obama -- "is going to bring us to the verge of shredding the Constitution, of massive socialism."
But there is a Beckian twist in his version of the prophecy. Unlike the church leaders' versions, Beck's vision carries the possibility of a bloody end. On the night of Feb. 24, 2009, Beck outlined this prospect for his viewers. People who "don't trust the government," he said, would "see the government as violating the Constitution, and they will see themselves as defenders of the Constitution. Not a good mix. Then they take matters into their own hands."
It was Glenn Beck in a nutshell: White Horse Prophecy meets horsemen of the apocalypse.

How the Beck Bawl makes wet fools of Fundamentalist-Evangelicals & all others similarly situated
Recently, Liberty University, the school founded by noted Evangelical Jerry Falwell, dropped an honorary degree on Glenn Beck who hosts one of the more spectacularly fraudulent shows available for viewing anywhere at anytime ... with the possible exception of network news. Although it may be known to his dwindling coterie of sycophants (his viewership numbers are down drastically over past few months, a genuine reason to do the Beck Bawl), Beck is a Mormon, so, the LU raising up the name of Beck should seem unseemly to the Evangelical with a brain, also a dwindling number, rapidly trending to ZERO.
If the LU has any clue about Mormons, their organization sometimes pretentiously referred to as the Church of the Latter Day Saints of Jesus Christ (LDS), then that bastion of "liberty in Christ" has made a precipitous descent to bastard libertine in crisis. Tolerance for the piecemeal religiosity of the Fundamentalist-Evangelicals is a requirement of the 1st Amendment of the Constitution, a document that no longer exists in practical terms (a very long subject for another day). However, toleration does NOT, thanks be to God, require adherence to, or even the slightest modicum of admiration for, what the Fund-Evies have become - the foremost promoters of Satanically-inspired claptrap on Earth, which goes that extra mile in explaining what the €¥»%&÷^={]#@~¤£!$?!!!! LU is doing bowing before Beck, offering up an honor-ararium.
The short form of the Mormon organization's monstrosities is: it's the Beast - you know, that entity to which the Revelation of John assigned the basest number, 666. Well, more specifically, the Mormons are the primary administrators of the Beast System (BS), which, under the law of agency, makes them the Beast (for those of you who missed the self-taught webinar, the law of agency dictates the relationship of God to His servants, that is, His agents).
So, how the €¥»%&÷^={]#@~¤£!$?!!!! did THAT happen? ... you might well ask. OK. Short form? Short form.
How the €¥»%&÷^={]#@~¤£!$?!!!! the Mormons became the Beast
When, in the fulness of time, Howard Robard Hughes was crowned the richest man on the surface of the planet, he also became the 800-gazillion# gorilla in the Department of Defense, the various Hughes companies having glommed onto ~75% of the DoD contracts stuffed into their overstuffed bag of goodies (baddies?). This was accomplished because of HRH's stunning good looks. Alright, minus a couple for stupid.
Actually, no surprise, he acquired his Global OverLord status via his daddy's legacy controlling the most valuable of tools - the patent on the oil-well drill bit, the foundation asset for Hughes Tool Company. That alone would have set HRH up for a life of beautiful women and 24/7 par-tay, of which, according to the society-types, he was a zealous par-tayker; but, Howie wasn't satisfied w/the lush life (perhaps due to his inability to sire lil' HRH).
Instead, he carved out way-way-WAY more than his share of our nation's National Security pie, using the immense drill-bit bite of the Hughes Tool as his jaws of Death. The overwhelming consequences of that overwhelmingly corrupt influence is being painted w/broad oily strokes in the Gulf right now (the main history-lesson reason as to why the US Coast Guard, headed up by Santa Claus' cousin, Adm. Thad Allen, is irrelevant w/respect to the Oilies, unless for flak's sake & the pressure on stock prices; it's National Security & the CIA - over which LDS-controlled Intertel is a dominant influence - chief protector of oil, stupid; plus one for me).
Of course, w/all that DoD clout, HRH had security clearance in the uppermost wazoo, over and above that of any 2-bit President (that IS redundant, isn't it). But, then, he died ... around 1958, the year from which his last wife, Jean Peters, couldn’t say whether he was in the Pepsi Generation or not (come alive, you’re in the Pepsi Generation). Not 1976, as widely accepted? No. 1976 is the date for suckers for the Mormon Mafia’s iron-fisted chokehold on the private life of HRH; that's the date the Mormon Mafia's substitute-HRH, Brooks Randall, an actor w/a penchant for long straggly hair, even longer fingernails and w/a rather comical case of the obsessive-compulsive heebie-jeebies, complete w/constant hand-washing & an odd wrinkle - wearing empty tissue boxes as slippers - left his narcotics-induced mental hell, all of his personalities captive to the ruthless Mormon Mafia, and went to a much better place. The rumors, widely disseminated, that the real HRH was also given to strange o-c tics in private, were amply confirmed by his public displays of milder versions of the habits that became the stuff of legend after Randall became the HRH hermit, to whom the Mafia allowed virtually no access and into whom they generously injected his dream-state narcotics.
HRH hired Mormons to be his bodyguards and sole gatekeepers into his personal fortress, during the 1940s prior to his actual death in or around the late 1950s (interview w/confidential source). During the early 1950s, because the Hughes gorilla held such a stranglehold on DoD stuff of the most beyond-state-of-the-art variety, his techs began to develop such beyond-beyond devices (thanks to technology gleaned from the 75% of the remains from the wreckage at Roswell, NM; cf. The Day After Roswell, Col. Philip J. Corso), not theoretical ruminations, that those inventions ("inventions" is kinda weak compared to what they were doing) were mostly kept out of the patenting process, although the more "mundane" stuff (which has triggered the tech explosion since the 1960s) was the basis for the start-up of ARPA, now DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. (Note: the internet began as ARPAnet since the super-techs weren't all located in proximity, requiring a rapid, secure means of sharing voluminous research across any and all geographical/political obstacles).
Impossible to keep all that SuperNova Wars (that's Star Wars w/a laser cannon bullet) action completely out of the public domain, the DoD can't even use disinformation since even movie special FX can't ace the actual technology. For instance, when "Independence Day" debuted in 1996, only a handful of viewers knew that the immense white-light laser in the belly of the mother-ships had already been developed, just not quite THAT big ... at least, not as of that particular yet (Corso, 1st ed. only, ibid). And, not patented, except for the rather pedestrian patents on artifical photosynthesis (authored by Dr. Francis Fong), reverse engineered into the white-light laser.
To overcome his, uh, fertility issues, HRH tapped into his nonpareil technological prowess to attempt to live forever. During the 1950s, Hughes’ techies developed memory devices which weren’t solid-state based, that which we’re still using today; instead, they perfected crystals that were able to act as computer storage and memory components. The incredible advantage the crystals had (and have) is that they can grow to accommodate the requirements of the entire computing entity, just like a living entity, a real-live brain, uncramped by that annoying human inhibition - a skull.
Rather than allow that fantastically and seemingly unlimited kind of basis for computers to get into the normal commercial venues, Hughes kept it … for himself, specifically, for himself. In a phantasm worthy of the, of, of, well, of Brooks Randall, HRH obsessively/compulsively decided he would use the crystal memory/storage technology to impute his life, his thoughts, into posterity via that very special computer. Gathering together a medical team to figure out the biotechnological obstacles of everlasting life through modern appliances, HRH initiated the 666 project - HOWARD ROBARD HUGHES.
That team, originally headed up by Dr. Christiaan Barnard (he of the original heart transplant, funded, as a reward, by Hughes, post-mortem), later morphed into the Howard Hughes Medical Research Institute (HHMRI), the evil twin of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, founded in 1953, with Hughes Aircraft stock as its endowment (when the HA stock was sold for $6 billion, it was overseen by the close surgical associate of Barnard, Dr. Donald Frederickson, who was the President, CEO and Trustee of the HHMI, which had been under the iron-fisted control of the Mormon Mafia for about 25 years); actually, “morphed” in this context is totally creepy. Creepy aside, yech!, or not, the most secretive facility of HHMRI, located in an underground facility , went on to fabricate the world’s most lifelike robots, courtesy of the Disney engineers who worked on the robotics exhibit in the U.S. Pavilion at DisneyWorld’s Epcot Center (interview w/confidential source). Walt Disney was a Jack Mormon, a Mormon who wasn’t particularly devout, at least, not publicly. The HHMRI compound, 7 stories of creep-you-out shit, straight down, with the big-shots’ offices at the lowest level, was where Henry the K went to pick up the infamous Nixon bribe - both parcels of $250K apiece, not $50K as reported - in plain manila envelopes (interview w/confidential source), hand each over to Maheu and/or Richard Danner which was then delivered to Charles “Bebe” Rebozo. The alleged purposes of which were to gain political influence for the HRH gambling interests and his post-TWA airline interests, but, also, for the little-discussed purpose of stopping the nuclear tests in Nevada which had the unsettling effect of interfering with delicate robotics experiments and fabrication, especially of the development of more advanced super-crystal devices.
Put those crazy Mormons all together, they spell MU-U-UTHER … and not of God. They do, however, fit nicely into that most mysterious of Biblical riddles, the Beast who was, is not and yet is (Rev. 17:8). HRH, the final 666 frontier, was alive, is not alive and yet is alive.
And now, for something completely and awfully different. IT is in control of all the electronically-transmitted transactions on Earth and above the Earth, for that matter. The Mormons, over the past several decades, have managed to gain control of virtually all credit card transactions. One of the hallmarks of the Mormons is their obsessive-compulsive thing about heraldry, everybody’s off aunt, your ancestry. That’s why your credit apps have that odd question about your mother’s maiden name; along with the Eurasian-Afro-Oceania leg up that they acquired with the help of their ex-FBI RC (Roman Catholic) associate, Robert Aime Maheu, the Mormons presently know more about everybody’s lineage than just about anybody typically knows about their lineage.
Maheu pried loose (maybe “pried” makes it sound more difficult than it was) the birth records stored in RC storehouses wheresoever RCs have roamed, which, as you undoubtedly know, is everywhere a Jesuit has ever boldly gone where no Earthling has gone before, or, in many instances, would care to go.
And, those really, really swell deals the cell phone industry has been throwing out there for years? Part of the overall techno-strategy of testing out and perfecting the worldwide telecom network, yes, but, that successful strategy has also made possible the so-called Beast system, tied together with the you-can-run-but-you-sure-as- hell-can’t-hide capabilities of HRH (using the super-artificial-intelligence system known as PROMIS to gather, collate and analyze all the information available electronically and otherwise anywhere on Earth).
The magical crystal HRH brain (growing but also self-maximizing via uber-tech crystals - developed in the no-nukes stillness of HHMRI - that crunch themselves for more efficiency and space utilization) crammed into the titanium-alloy skull of the best, most lifelike robot HRH money could buy, the fulfillment of the, the, uh, well, no one’s ever had these kinds of nightmares, so it’s a nearly actual quantum leap past the worst nightmares of any student of Biblical prophecy.
All of this with the world’s ninniest Mormon, Glenn Beck, at the titular head. The LU honors the tit of the Beast. Lo, how the semi-mighty have fallen.
Betcha didn’t see that coming.
More later.
Comment on the NYT article from only last week, China's Army of Graduates Is Struggling: "1, [Chinese] econ has hit an interim, maybe long-term peak, unable to handle the grad pipeline output; 2, Chinese military will use [the surplus graduates] as spies after they're hired ... in US/Eurozone"; this is similar to the ongoing push by the US military to become uncomfortably influential in the civilian sector here; see Op-Ed Contributor: Turn In Your Bin Ladens, in today's NYT, which was written by Jonathan Lipow, associate professor of economics at the Defense Resource Management Institute at the Naval Postgraduate School [DRMI]. The DRMI is strictly a military school for advanced military personnel. According the DRMI (see THE DEFENSE RESOURCES MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE), "[A]ll DRMI courses have two overarching goals: to provide an analytical framework for making defense resources allocation decisions and to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas. ... DRMI has been at the forefront of the Expanded International Military Education and Training (E-IMET) initiative" [emphasis added] which is an admission that, of course, DRMI is an arm of the Department of Defense. So, it's actually a lot more than uncomfortable, downright chilling, that Lipow is weighing into civilian politics by asserting that, because "the military has gradually realized that the anonymity of cash makes it easy for terrorists and insurgents to smuggle in money and make purchases without a trace ... for [that reason, in] the past few years the military has been striving to replace its cash transactions with electronic fund transfers and debit card payments in the hopes of achieving a 'cashless battlefield,' in the words of Peter Kunkel, a former assistant secretary of the Army", "why not eliminate the use of physical cash worldwide — not just a 'cashless battlefield' but a “cashless economy”? [emphasis added]
Although that may sound attractive and even doable, as Lipow points out ("From a technical point of view, such an initiative is entirely feasible."), even offering the oh-so-f**king-helpful note that Kenyans can do this, too, the cashless society idea is for those who are, whether surreptitiously or not so surreptitiously in this case, in favor of the final economic "initiative" (in military terms) wherein, in military style, the brutal invasion of the private sector by the Beast economy (where no man or woman can buy or sell without the cashless-society's ultimate currency of no-choice, the 666 biochip, as previously described in the post entitled "If you could read my mind, love ... " of 12/9/10). Furthermore, the leap forward into this mindset, never mind the technological hurdles, was the 9/11 legislative fall-out known as the USA-PATRIOT Act, or Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, which is a typically gag-me-with-a-shovel jingoistic load of bullshit that Jr.'s administration foisted on America, after his Neo-Con pals plotted, planned and executed the entirely treasonous Twin Towers debacle (see, e.g., Crossing the Rubicon by Mike Ruppert). Even liberal commentators have been recruited to entomb the Bush administration's complicity in 9/11 by parroting the 9/11-was-just-what-the-9/11-
What few Americans realize is that the USA-PATRIOT Act was nearly the full-blown Beast legislation (rushed through a stupified Congress and signed by Jr. on 10/26/01). In attorney David Cole's analysis of the USA-PATRIOT Act, Enemy Aliens (publ. 2003, see, e.g., David Cole – Enemy Aliens & Constitutional Freedoms), he described the effect of this turning point on the complete end of freedom in this country (arrow pointing straight-down and plunging) via the Hydra-headed monster, Operation "Total Information and Protection System" (TIPS) and its operational butt-head "Total Information Awareness" (see, e.g., Total Information Awareness - American Civil Liberties Union), sprouting out of the ass of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA | Home), the mean, nasty version of James Bond's M. Cole: "The project aims to develop technology to collect and search all the computer-accessible information about individuals that currently exists in the public and private sectors." Cole, however, underestimated, by a factor of several zillion, the state of surveillance capabilities even then in 2003; in fact, Cole's pronouncement that "the government lacks the capacity to collect and search [the public and private sectors] on a mass scale for law enforcement ends" was the vic, to put in polite terms, of a classic dodo-lack of sophistication relative to said "capacity", the less charitable view being that Cole fell prey to the disinformation put out by governmental agencies and the even less-charitable, co-conspiratorial view being that Cole was passing on disinformation knowingly ... which I doubt.
After backing off near braggadocio, in 2003, early 2004 found the Beastie Boys of 666 finagling their way into improving their image and sneak back onto the playing field of public awareness (and, thereafter, acceptance by fatigue) of TIPS/TIA (see TIA/ACLU link, above). What Ruppert described (Rubicon, op cit.) was the situation that had been developing since Edwin Meese had first co-opted the PROMIS software (see posted response of 12/12, entitled "The software that's already running the Beast system, the Synagogue of Satan in the Church ... "): That PROMIS had invaded every area of the world's electronically-linked IT system. Interwoven into Ruppert's narrative is the inevitable interweaving, via PROMIS, of all spook agencies and all spooks (FBI, CIA, Defense Intel, IRS, etcetcetc.) via NSA/Google using PROMIS algorithms.
What Ruppert didn't discuss, and apparently will never discuss at this point (if he ever knew), is that the castle-keep of PROMIS is in the bulwark of encryption/decryption of the very closely-held redoubt -- the security algorithms based on the encoding of the nuances of the Navajo language, which cannot be broken and by which other IT systems cannot resist being broken (for dramatization, not the technical aspects, by spook-fellow-traveler Chris Carter, see the Navajo-code-talker episodes of "The X-Files" and John Woo's 2002 roman a clef "Windtalkers"), the only IT system not subject to PROMIS being the divine codes. The Israelis (Sephardic Lubavitcher chapter) have tried to and have not succeeded in using the so-called Bible Codes of the original Hebrew Old Testament to hack the inner sanctum of PROMIS without success. They're not worthy and never will be; Navajo is the original one language, pre-dating that incident at Babel, pre-dating Hebrew, which confuses all languages that post-date Babel, including programming languages.
How the heck did this comment get to this juncture from the Paul Krugman post, link below? Because the Chinese are now in a bigger Chinese box than any they've ever imagined in their wildest Crouching/Hiding dreams. Lured into the global con, spun by the likes of PROMIS-empowered Goldman Sachs and the Queen's special narco-agents (via the Treaty of Paris of 1763), the Chinese under Mao chopped off the tentacles with which the Brits had permeated China ever since the massive and lucrative opium trade had been used to dominate the sleepy, noddy Chinese behemoth.
The fulsome entry of the mainland Chinese into Western commerce via, eek!, capitalism, the sprawling consequences being enjoyed by Trilateral Commission partners, US, Eurozone and Japan, has brought them into the fold that the Rockefellers' Council on Foreign Relations had wanted to bring the world's biggest consumer market, originally via Chiang Kai-Shek; Chiang turned out to be, uh, unattractive compared to the Chairman and was relegated to a relatively tiny island off the coast of mainland China. Chiang's control over the Golden Triangle was also untenable with Mao being ceded that most valuable of commercial franchises, at least at the beginning of Mao's subtle move into the big business of big China; hence, Nixon and Kissinger with Daddy Bush at their service made the unpublished deal that launched a new era in the Opium Wars where the Chinese were in charge ... somewhat. They had watched while the CIA had harvested the Golden Triangle for enormous profits (see, e.g., The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia), laundering the proceeds through the Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank (the HongShang Bank, now HSBC to get away from the shitsmell of 400 years of dope dealing; hmm, sniffsniff, nope, doesn't help), sitting like a carbuncle on their ass in that teeming coastal bastion of Brit colonialism.
Hu Jintao, major mogul of the tea-and-no-crumpets set (no milk?! How barbaric, eh, guv'na?), thinks he's got the US on the hook. As has been said in previous posts and laid out succinctly by Prof. Krugman -- not quite and not nearly. The most stunning and compelling proof of that was only given the glancing-blow treatment in the press -- the little, big dust-up over the hacking of Google by an IT school run by the Chinese military by a former Soviet IT specialist (see Hacking Inquiry Puts China’s Elite in New Light, NYT, 2/22/10, & follow-on articles). What was not reported at any time was the triple-cross of the obscure IT school run by the Chinese military, Lanxiang Vocational School in Shandong Province (officials of which asserted that their high school students "are not capable of sophisticated hacking"), having been used by an apparent pass-through hacker, suspected of being Russian.
Such hackers can leave no fingerprints, although they can leave PROMIS-style uploading bugs in the source code of, e.g., Google (see, e.g., Fearing Hackers Who Leave No Trace, NYT, 1/19/10) ... if they could; however, w/Google, the only code that's hackable is that which is intended to be a reverse Trojan horse, that is, when a hacker opens a portal to code that's strictly "bait" to attempt to hack/bug Google, that code uploads code back through the portal, such code being unhackable (see Navajo-code discussion, above) and, what's muchmuchmuch worse, booby-trapped, that is, should the hacker try to undo the bug, all that will be left of the hacker's code on all systems subsequently interconnected with that bug is ZILCH! All the lights will go out in China. For a word-picture, watch the sequence from the original 1993 episode of Jurassic Park, wherein J-P IT 2nd in command Ray Arnold (played by Samuel L. Jackson) attempts to access system control software and sets off a booby-trap set by the devious IT 1st in command Dennis Nedry (played by Wayne Knight).
Thus, the Chinese, having such an immense corpus to watch w/o having the total-package capabilities of PROMIS or quite the electronic infrastructure as the US and the Eurozone have, haven't been so enthusiastically in with the total-package capabilities of the Beast. Oh, Jintao, you're such a control freak. Guess what? You're in, now, 100%. Confused? Relax, sit back, you're no longer in control, freak.
The DRMI has proposed total financial/commercial control using the same PROMIS-based systems as that which have now executed a clandestine hostile takeover of China, in which the Chinese are said to be the villains. The DARPA genies working the controls of the DRMI-ventriloquist-dummy realize that via the elimination of all currency, all e-roads end in the 666 Beast computer system, front-end by the Mormons (see, e.g., the post entitled "@ The Beast w/shill-in-chief Beck", 10/5/10). As the posts re Beck show, the Mormons think they're going to save the Constitution, apparently, by destroying it (too late!!). What DRMI demand-disguised-as-a-polite-
Previous post of 3/18/10: Internet intercourse - the end of privacy
The advent of the social networking services - e.g., Facebook, Twitter, etc. - represents the final threads that tie together the spidery side of the worldwide web. As described in the NYT article, “How Privacy Vanishes Online” (3/17/10, posted 1:14 pm, nytimes.com, Tech Update), the seemingly harmless tidbits of information voluntarily released into the e-wind can be woven into a rather serious whole cloth of an individual’s life, an intelligence tapestry worthy of a p.i. on retainer.
The recent international dust-up over the hacking of Google via computers located in two schools in China is an iceberg tip to the under-the-surface massive integration of the individual tapestries into the worldwide quilt (wwq?). While the schools in China have been positively I.D.ed by the National Security Agency (NSA) as the site of the computers involved, the source of the problem may have originated elsewhere; i.e., the professor whose charges were sitting at their desks doing their schoolwork was a Russian whose ulterior motive may have been to route KGB/Russian-Mafiya hacking through the teenagers’ systems by infecting those systems with an appropriate virus, unbeknownst to the students. The Chinese government denies hacking Google; maybe, they’re being truthful (but that would be first, wouldn’t it).
The background noise in this echo chamber is the chatter about the Chinese v. the Russians; neither is the major player in this game, even though the Chinese Google-wanna-be, Baidu, has seen its stock rocket since last spring to now being worth more than the pricey Google stock. The central theme to be derived out of the controlled leaks, which culminated in the January threat by Google to pull out of China (jacking BIDU up even more), is that Google and NSA are the Mr. Outside and Mr. Inside of the wwq.
Google didn’t ask NSA to look into the hacking assault in February, when announced, but, rather, NSA knew of the hacking in April when it first was detected … by NSA. It may be that the Google techs knew of the attack simultaneously with NSA, but, since NSA tracks EVERYTHING electronically communicated on Earth, there’s no question NSA knew as soon as it was possible to know. Hence, the scenario was more likely to have been NSA, and perhaps Google, detect the maneuvers, NSA informs Google (the NSA-techs of which may have then said they already knew), NSA/Google work to discover the computers directly responsible, the fact of the hacking is used to buy shares in BIDU in April, shares of GOOG are shorted prior to the public announcement of the attack and the semi-intention by Google to pull out of China if, as and for a cover story, Google will remain on the hook for censoring its Google.CN search engine, the one running solely in China.
Because NSA is the big hound of hell of national security (it’s in its name fer cryin’ out loud), no one in the SEC is going to investigate this particularly egregious perpetration of insider trading, since the SEC would impale itself on the very spiky, though fraudulently wielded, shield of national security that’s up 86,400/1440/24/7/365-6 (on Leap years) at NSA. The “national security” play ploy is trotted out every time spooks want to do anything criminal, which for NSA is 86,400/1440 … blah! blah! blah!
The Chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt, is a close advisor to Prez Obama, as Mr. Outside, the public face of the wwq. The real chairman of NSA is unknown, since anyone whose name appears on the NSA marquee is a no one; nevertheless, that’s Mr. Inside, the guy that used to be referred to as “the man who kept the secrets” originating in the bad old days of CIA Director Richard M. Helms, when the CIA controlled the NSA, not the other way around.
So, the NSA/Google axis has virtual (an appropriate adjective) total tracking control over all communications - whether internet, cell-phone, landline phone, etc. As to voice communications, those are run through a nearly flawless voice recognition system which “listens” for key words in ALL phone conversations; when such words are “heard” the full conversation is made subject to more complete analysis, utilizing the full-bore routine of NSA’s “beast” version of artificial intelligence software, although other factors will also trigger the advanced analysis. The version stolen and sold by former Reagan AG Edwin Meese to foreign intelligence agencies was modified by the so-called “king of the hackers” Michael J. Riconosciuto.
The NSA version of this software has decryption capabilities that cannot presently be defeated, despite claims to the contrary, e.g., the not-clever-by-half Russian cum Chinese (or vice versa) hackers. Potentially successful, even unbreakable, encryption methods that haven’t been tried are known by NSA to be possible, but no one, not the Russians, not the Chinese, nor anyone else currently with the technical expertise/equipment (even NSA), has the multiplexing thought process required to perfect those encryption methods.
This NSA/Google twin-terror is, thus, the reason why putting any information out there on the internet is far more risky than suggested by the NYT article. You could easily say (and probably should) in a fatalistic fashion that it doesn’t matter, that if they really want to get you, they will. NSA/Google are not why you should be careful, just as the super-car-thief is not the reason you lock your car; if a super-car-thief wants your car, he’ll get it, whereas if an ordinary schlep car thief wants your car, the somewhat primitive theft protections installed on your car will likely send him back to the woodshed for more training. Same with the internet; NSA/Google can steal any part of your identity they want - they just have no interest in small fish, except in the ability to capture the data of ALL the small fish. It’s those marginally-skilled internet phishers that you want to foil and can foil by being less generous with your information, made much easier to obtain, as the NYT article correctly proposes; what NYT writer Lohr does not describe is that this ease of loss of privacy has been opened by the NSA/Google genie, a dark eminence, brooding over the wwq, wanting all information to be available 86,400/1440 … blah! blah! blah!
.
These self-inflicted invasions of privacy are, furthermore, implied consent to burrow in even deeper; in e-context, all that’s missing is the RSVP to anyone interested in the person of interest, picked at random off of the increasing harvest of, and easily picked, low fruit. Often, maybe more often than not, the RSVP is explicit to particular individuals, but taken to be so for the general internet public predator.
Previous post: @ The Beast w/shill-in-chief Beck, 10/5/10
Re: my previous e-mail describing Beck as the "tit of the Beast"; the idolization of the constitution is a Mormon/Beast-inspired form of unholy worship. Y'Shua did NOT command worship of a particular governmental system. Rom. 13 commands that you obey the "powers that be", meaning, legitimate governmental power delegated via the Holy Spirit "upon" the designee, eg, Isa. 9:6-7, cf. 11:2, Mat. 3:16. Therefore, above all, including ABOVE the constitution, obey those who have the earnest of the Holy Spirit upon them, eg, Acts 2:1-4, 17-18.
Those who worship the constitution above those who have been ordained with the true government of the Holy Spirit, and are, thus, aligned with the Mormon Beast, will be in danger of being entrapped into accepting the biochip "mark of the beast".
As I've warned, the vast majority of Fundamentalist/Evangelicals are of the Synagogue of Satan, the Rev. 2:9 version, because they are false claimants to being spiritual Jews and will be supporters of the more dangerous SOS group, Rev. 3:9, the radical genocidal Likud Party (+ the ADL/B'nai B'rith), comprised of Sephardim, descendants of the race of Carians of whom Judas Ish'cariot (man of the Carians) was a member.
Finally, as I've written for 15 years, the constitution was taken off the table by the final nail in a coffin 80 years in the making, that nail being the Judicial Revision Act of 1947. Without addressing that final nail and the coffin, the constitution canNOT be resurrected. No one, no one, no one who claims to want to hold those in apparent authority to constitutional restrictions knows what they're doing, proceeding as though it's unnecessary to deconstruct the coffin. This is politics, not miracle-working.
Besides, those who claim to have Holy Spirit authority are so pathetically ignorant of the principles of true Government, their efforts are regularly and rightfully ignored by the source of true Government. Absolute adherence to the divine Laws and Commands by those who are ordained with true Governmental authority is a requirement; see, eg, I Sam. 16:13-14, where the Holy Spirit of government was removed from Saul for ignoring, even once, his duties as King. Almost NO believer has any idea what they're supposed to be doing with respect to this principle from I Samuel - "The king can do no wrong", meaning, any duly delegated earthly king, standing in place of the one true King of kings is not allowed to, is not permitted to, is forbidden from doing a single thing the King would not Himself do.

Dana Milbank: Mormon Prophecy Behind Glenn Beck's Message
October 5, 2010 08:58:08

In one of his first appearances on Fox News, Glenn Beck sent a coded message to the nation's six million Mormons -- or at least those Mormons who believe in what the Latter-day Saints call "the White Horse Prophecy."
"We are at the place where the Constitution hangs in the balance," Beck told Bill O'Reilly on November 14, 2008, just after President Obama's election. "I feel the Constitution is hanging in the balance right now, hanging by a thread unless the good Americans wake up."
The Constitution is hanging by a thread.
Most Americans would have heard this as just another bit of overblown commentary and thought nothing more of it. But to those familiar with the White Horse Prophecy, it was an unmistakable signal.
The phrase is often attributed to the Prophet Joseph Smith, founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormon Church. Smith is believed to have said in 1840 that when the Constitution hangs by a thread, elders of the Mormon Church will step in -- on the proverbial white horse -- to save the country.
"When the Constitution of the United States hangs, as it were, upon a single thread, they will have to call for the 'Mormon' Elders to save it from utter destruction; and they will step forth and do it," Brigham Young, Smith's successor as head of the church, wrote in 1855.
Was it just a coincidence in wording, or was Beck, a 1999 Mormon convert, speaking in coded language about the need to fulfill the Mormon prophecy? A conversation on Beck's radio show ten days earlier would seem to rule out coincidence. Beck was interviewing Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, also a Mormon, when he said: "I heard Barack Obama talk about the Constitution and I thought, we are at the point or we are very near the point where our Constitution is hanging by a thread."
"Well, let me tell you something," Hatch responded. "I believe the Constitution is hanging by a thread."
Days after Beck's Fox show started in January 2009, he had Hatch on, and again prompted him: "I believe our Constitution hangs by a thread."
Large numbers of Mormons watch Beck, but likely an even larger number of his viewers and radio listeners are evangelical Protestants who have no idea that Beck is preaching to them an obscure prophecy of the Latter-day Saints -- a faith many conservative Christians malign as a cult. In addition to the coded allusions to the White Horse Prophecy, he often brings Mormon theology into his broadcasts (he touts the thinking of late church president Ezra Taft Benson and he frequently promotes the work Mormon conspiracy theorist Cleon Skousen) but without identifying them with the LDS church.
Before the Mormons went west, Smith traveled to Washington seeking help for his oppressed followers and received nothing but frustration. Rather than turning on the government, however, "They considered themselves the last Real Americans, the legitimate heirs of the pilgrims and Founding Fathers," Pat Bagley wrote in the Salt Lake Tribune. "And, they believed, the very survival of the Constitution depended on the Saints. From Smith on, LDS leaders prophesied the Constitution would one day hang by a thread, only to be saved by Mormons."
A compilation of church leaders' statements over the years by the journal BYU Studies shows this strain of thinking. Though there are doubts about whether Smith actually wrote the phrase "hang by a thread," his successors left no doubt about the theology behind it. Orson Hyde, a Smith contemporary, wrote that Smith believed that "the time would come when the Constitution and the country would be in danger of an overthrow; and said [Smith]: 'If the Constitution be saved at all, it will be by the elders of this Church.'"
The church's fifth leader, Charles Nibley, believed that "the day would come when there would be so much of disorder, of secret combinations taking the law into their own hands, tramping upon Constitutional rights and the liberties of the people, that the Constitution would hang as by a thread. Yes, but it will still hang, and there will be enough of good people, many who may not belong to our Church at all, people who have respect for law and for order, and for Constitutional rights, who will rally around with us and save the Constitution."
The prophecy was renewed with each generation of church leadership. "The prophet Joseph Smith said the time will come when, through secret organizations taking the law into their own hands . . . the Constitution of the United States would be so torn and rent asunder, and life and property and peace and security would be held of so little value, that the Constitution would, as it were, hang by a thread," church apostle Melvin Ballard said in 1928. "This Constitution will be preserved, but it will be preserved very largely in consequence of what the Lord has revealed and what this people, through listening to the Lord and being obedient, will help to bring about, to stabilize and give permanency and effect to the Constitution itself. That also is our mission."
And now it is Beck's mission. Secret organizations? Tramping on liberties? Breakdown of law and order? Shredding the Constitution? Betraying the Founders? This is the core of Beck's message, in his own words: "Some people in the government seem to have a problem, you know, shredding the Constitution." And: "You're trying to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, friends. It's in trouble." And: "He" -- that would be Obama -- "is going to bring us to the verge of shredding the Constitution, of massive socialism."
But there is a Beckian twist in his version of the prophecy. Unlike the church leaders' versions, Beck's vision carries the possibility of a bloody end. On the night of Feb. 24, 2009, Beck outlined this prospect for his viewers. People who "don't trust the government," he said, would "see the government as violating the Constitution, and they will see themselves as defenders of the Constitution. Not a good mix. Then they take matters into their own hands."
It was Glenn Beck in a nutshell: White Horse Prophecy meets horsemen of the apocalypse.

How the Beck Bawl makes wet fools of Fundamentalist-Evangelicals & all others similarly situated
Recently, Liberty University, the school founded by noted Evangelical Jerry Falwell, dropped an honorary degree on Glenn Beck who hosts one of the more spectacularly fraudulent shows available for viewing anywhere at anytime ... with the possible exception of network news. Although it may be known to his dwindling coterie of sycophants (his viewership numbers are down drastically over past few months, a genuine reason to do the Beck Bawl), Beck is a Mormon, so, the LU raising up the name of Beck should seem unseemly to the Evangelical with a brain, also a dwindling number, rapidly trending to ZERO.
If the LU has any clue about Mormons, their organization sometimes pretentiously referred to as the Church of the Latter Day Saints of Jesus Christ (LDS), then that bastion of "liberty in Christ" has made a precipitous descent to bastard libertine in crisis. Tolerance for the piecemeal religiosity of the Fundamentalist-Evangelicals is a requirement of the 1st Amendment of the Constitution, a document that no longer exists in practical terms (a very long subject for another day). However, toleration does NOT, thanks be to God, require adherence to, or even the slightest modicum of admiration for, what the Fund-Evies have become - the foremost promoters of Satanically-inspired claptrap on Earth, which goes that extra mile in explaining what the €¥»%&÷^={]#@~¤£!$?!!!! LU is doing bowing before Beck, offering up an honor-ararium.
The short form of the Mormon organization's monstrosities is: it's the Beast - you know, that entity to which the Revelation of John assigned the basest number, 666. Well, more specifically, the Mormons are the primary administrators of the Beast System (BS), which, under the law of agency, makes them the Beast (for those of you who missed the self-taught webinar, the law of agency dictates the relationship of God to His servants, that is, His agents).
So, how the €¥»%&÷^={]#@~¤£!$?!!!! did THAT happen? ... you might well ask. OK. Short form? Short form.
How the €¥»%&÷^={]#@~¤£!$?!!!! the Mormons became the Beast
When, in the fulness of time, Howard Robard Hughes was crowned the richest man on the surface of the planet, he also became the 800-gazillion# gorilla in the Department of Defense, the various Hughes companies having glommed onto ~75% of the DoD contracts stuffed into their overstuffed bag of goodies (baddies?). This was accomplished because of HRH's stunning good looks. Alright, minus a couple for stupid.
Actually, no surprise, he acquired his Global OverLord status via his daddy's legacy controlling the most valuable of tools - the patent on the oil-well drill bit, the foundation asset for Hughes Tool Company. That alone would have set HRH up for a life of beautiful women and 24/7 par-tay, of which, according to the society-types, he was a zealous par-tayker; but, Howie wasn't satisfied w/the lush life (perhaps due to his inability to sire lil' HRH).
Instead, he carved out way-way-WAY more than his share of our nation's National Security pie, using the immense drill-bit bite of the Hughes Tool as his jaws of Death. The overwhelming consequences of that overwhelmingly corrupt influence is being painted w/broad oily strokes in the Gulf right now (the main history-lesson reason as to why the US Coast Guard, headed up by Santa Claus' cousin, Adm. Thad Allen, is irrelevant w/respect to the Oilies, unless for flak's sake & the pressure on stock prices; it's National Security & the CIA - over which LDS-controlled Intertel is a dominant influence - chief protector of oil, stupid; plus one for me).
Of course, w/all that DoD clout, HRH had security clearance in the uppermost wazoo, over and above that of any 2-bit President (that IS redundant, isn't it). But, then, he died ... around 1958, the year from which his last wife, Jean Peters, couldn’t say whether he was in the Pepsi Generation or not (come alive, you’re in the Pepsi Generation). Not 1976, as widely accepted? No. 1976 is the date for suckers for the Mormon Mafia’s iron-fisted chokehold on the private life of HRH; that's the date the Mormon Mafia's substitute-HRH, Brooks Randall, an actor w/a penchant for long straggly hair, even longer fingernails and w/a rather comical case of the obsessive-compulsive heebie-jeebies, complete w/constant hand-washing & an odd wrinkle - wearing empty tissue boxes as slippers - left his narcotics-induced mental hell, all of his personalities captive to the ruthless Mormon Mafia, and went to a much better place. The rumors, widely disseminated, that the real HRH was also given to strange o-c tics in private, were amply confirmed by his public displays of milder versions of the habits that became the stuff of legend after Randall became the HRH hermit, to whom the Mafia allowed virtually no access and into whom they generously injected his dream-state narcotics.
HRH hired Mormons to be his bodyguards and sole gatekeepers into his personal fortress, during the 1940s prior to his actual death in or around the late 1950s (interview w/confidential source). During the early 1950s, because the Hughes gorilla held such a stranglehold on DoD stuff of the most beyond-state-of-the-art variety, his techs began to develop such beyond-beyond devices (thanks to technology gleaned from the 75% of the remains from the wreckage at Roswell, NM; cf. The Day After Roswell, Col. Philip J. Corso), not theoretical ruminations, that those inventions ("inventions" is kinda weak compared to what they were doing) were mostly kept out of the patenting process, although the more "mundane" stuff (which has triggered the tech explosion since the 1960s) was the basis for the start-up of ARPA, now DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. (Note: the internet began as ARPAnet since the super-techs weren't all located in proximity, requiring a rapid, secure means of sharing voluminous research across any and all geographical/political obstacles).
Impossible to keep all that SuperNova Wars (that's Star Wars w/a laser cannon bullet) action completely out of the public domain, the DoD can't even use disinformation since even movie special FX can't ace the actual technology. For instance, when "Independence Day" debuted in 1996, only a handful of viewers knew that the immense white-light laser in the belly of the mother-ships had already been developed, just not quite THAT big ... at least, not as of that particular yet (Corso, 1st ed. only, ibid). And, not patented, except for the rather pedestrian patents on artifical photosynthesis (authored by Dr. Francis Fong), reverse engineered into the white-light laser.
To overcome his, uh, fertility issues, HRH tapped into his nonpareil technological prowess to attempt to live forever. During the 1950s, Hughes’ techies developed memory devices which weren’t solid-state based, that which we’re still using today; instead, they perfected crystals that were able to act as computer storage and memory components. The incredible advantage the crystals had (and have) is that they can grow to accommodate the requirements of the entire computing entity, just like a living entity, a real-live brain, uncramped by that annoying human inhibition - a skull.
Rather than allow that fantastically and seemingly unlimited kind of basis for computers to get into the normal commercial venues, Hughes kept it … for himself, specifically, for himself. In a phantasm worthy of the, of, of, well, of Brooks Randall, HRH obsessively/compulsively decided he would use the crystal memory/storage technology to impute his life, his thoughts, into posterity via that very special computer. Gathering together a medical team to figure out the biotechnological obstacles of everlasting life through modern appliances, HRH initiated the 666 project - HOWARD ROBARD HUGHES.
That team, originally headed up by Dr. Christiaan Barnard (he of the original heart transplant, funded, as a reward, by Hughes, post-mortem), later morphed into the Howard Hughes Medical Research Institute (HHMRI), the evil twin of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, founded in 1953, with Hughes Aircraft stock as its endowment (when the HA stock was sold for $6 billion, it was overseen by the close surgical associate of Barnard, Dr. Donald Frederickson, who was the President, CEO and Trustee of the HHMI, which had been under the iron-fisted control of the Mormon Mafia for about 25 years); actually, “morphed” in this context is totally creepy. Creepy aside, yech!, or not, the most secretive facility of HHMRI, located in an underground facility , went on to fabricate the world’s most lifelike robots, courtesy of the Disney engineers who worked on the robotics exhibit in the U.S. Pavilion at DisneyWorld’s Epcot Center (interview w/confidential source). Walt Disney was a Jack Mormon, a Mormon who wasn’t particularly devout, at least, not publicly. The HHMRI compound, 7 stories of creep-you-out shit, straight down, with the big-shots’ offices at the lowest level, was where Henry the K went to pick up the infamous Nixon bribe - both parcels of $250K apiece, not $50K as reported - in plain manila envelopes (interview w/confidential source), hand each over to Maheu and/or Richard Danner which was then delivered to Charles “Bebe” Rebozo. The alleged purposes of which were to gain political influence for the HRH gambling interests and his post-TWA airline interests, but, also, for the little-discussed purpose of stopping the nuclear tests in Nevada which had the unsettling effect of interfering with delicate robotics experiments and fabrication, especially of the development of more advanced super-crystal devices.
Put those crazy Mormons all together, they spell MU-U-UTHER … and not of God. They do, however, fit nicely into that most mysterious of Biblical riddles, the Beast who was, is not and yet is (Rev. 17:8). HRH, the final 666 frontier, was alive, is not alive and yet is alive.
And now, for something completely and awfully different. IT is in control of all the electronically-transmitted transactions on Earth and above the Earth, for that matter. The Mormons, over the past several decades, have managed to gain control of virtually all credit card transactions. One of the hallmarks of the Mormons is their obsessive-compulsive thing about heraldry, everybody’s off aunt, your ancestry. That’s why your credit apps have that odd question about your mother’s maiden name; along with the Eurasian-Afro-Oceania leg up that they acquired with the help of their ex-FBI RC (Roman Catholic) associate, Robert Aime Maheu, the Mormons presently know more about everybody’s lineage than just about anybody typically knows about their lineage.
Maheu pried loose (maybe “pried” makes it sound more difficult than it was) the birth records stored in RC storehouses wheresoever RCs have roamed, which, as you undoubtedly know, is everywhere a Jesuit has ever boldly gone where no Earthling has gone before, or, in many instances, would care to go.
And, those really, really swell deals the cell phone industry has been throwing out there for years? Part of the overall techno-strategy of testing out and perfecting the worldwide telecom network, yes, but, that successful strategy has also made possible the so-called Beast system, tied together with the you-can-run-but-you-sure-as-
The magical crystal HRH brain (growing but also self-maximizing via uber-tech crystals - developed in the no-nukes stillness of HHMRI - that crunch themselves for more efficiency and space utilization) crammed into the titanium-alloy skull of the best, most lifelike robot HRH money could buy, the fulfillment of the, the, uh, well, no one’s ever had these kinds of nightmares, so it’s a nearly actual quantum leap past the worst nightmares of any student of Biblical prophecy.
All of this with the world’s ninniest Mormon, Glenn Beck, at the titular head. The LU honors the tit of the Beast. Lo, how the semi-mighty have fallen.
Betcha didn’t see that coming.
More later.
Sorry, Rudolph. You're gonna need a muchmuch bigger nose!
The previous post re: What appeared to be a modification of the usual winter weather attack on BosWash (the Northeastern Corridor, NEC), that is, an Alberta Clipper headed south, enhanced and directed straight south by the Fermilab/Argonne axis, caught by Huntsville/Oak-Ridge and turned around up into and along the Appalachians packing extra moisture from the Southeast, ultimately dumped on the NEC. The modification appeared to be the impossible kinking of the jetstream, evident on the CWRS Jetstream Map, on December 14 (see CRWS Jet Stream Map Menu), which looked like the eastern half of that kink, being pulled out of the warm waters off the Mid-Atlantic Coast by the Princeton Propulsion Lab, was being diverted over the NEC to dump a pile of snow that would endanger the NEC's infrastructure. That's not gonna happen ... but that's not really good news for the NEC.
The subsequent jetstream path has, since the 14th, expanded enormously into what the Weather Channel (TWC) calls a "Record Breaking Pattern" (RBP) because there is NO precedent for what the jetstream is doing (there is, quoting, "nothing to compare it to") and, therefore, no computer model for what might happen as a consequence. The TWC meteorologist spent some time explaining why they don't know what's going on with the respect to the enormous system pushing Pacific moisture over almost all of the West Coast. Weak. He then went on to the RBP which, shown by the animated map behind him, was taking a U-turn several hundred miles in width, veering northward into Canada, as far north as the northernmost Hudson Bay coast of Quebec (Map of Canada), and, then, turning straight west ... the RBP and the shuck/jive about how much meteorologists rely on computer models of past patterns should be heard as being TWC-speak for "We don't know WTF is going on, because this shit is just impossible."
Stepping into it (the shit, that is), the jetstream folded over on itself is the huge tail on the end of the equally historic rain-making system being supplied w/cold, wet air driven north from Alaska by Elmendorf AFB, then turned by a tight counter-clockwise system off the Vancouver coast, directed by the Pacific Northwest National Lab. The super-severe-weather-geek of TWC, Dr. Greg Forbes, showed a satellite image of this confluence which looked exactly like what it was (and as of this moment, is), a paddle wheel propelling the stream of moisture off the Pacific onto the entire West Coast, carried by the jetstream blowing straight eastward, as of yesterday, the 16th, and enhanced by Area 51, pushing through as a width WC footprint (the entire West Coast), and predicted to drop 15 FEET of snow on parts of the Rockies. TWC believes that wave after wave of similar systems a waiting their turn off the Pacific in a series of storms that will last through next Wednesday, the 23rd; meaning, if the weather bombers are able to keep this jetstream pattern in place, the NEC will be targeted for a series of snow emergencies w/multiple feet of snow through X-Eve and X-Day.
Today, the jetstream was bent south, apparently to mass the Pacific moisture and combine that with the significant rainfall pattern in the Southeast, as well as the continuing "lake effect" snowfall of the past week over Western NY. The huge U-turn over Canada could become the 4th stream of moisture if the normal Coriolis Effect takes hold over Hudson Bay and turns the jetstream again, only in the southward portion of a great counter-clockwise pattern over the cold water of the Hudson, driving it into the same confluence of the eastward jetstream, another paddle wheel, with the moisture from the rainy system in the Southeast and that of the lake effect snow system.
If the weather bombers' aim and control are spot on, all 4 moisture-laden systems will converge on the NEC. At that point, that ultra-wet-train-wreck is, a few days out, going to be rumbling straight into a collision with the big jetstream U-turn, called by the TWC, "a blocking pattern." Blocking pattern for the east, widowmaker out of the west. These are trix that were tried out successfully during the summer (see the previous weather-bomber posts), resulting in weeks of record heat, four direct hits by tornadoes (3 on NYC, 1 on Phillie), and a near miss by Earl. The melting run-off from these veritable mountains of snow which will gush this spring into the Schoharie Reservoir, tenuously held back by the Gilboa Dam, that supplies NYC w/over half of its water, are going to majorly stress the NYC aqueduct system, back to front, just when it doesn't need a climate migraine (like the dump-out of snow at the Minneapolis Metrodome, only reallyreallyreallywayway bigger). See the post "Pearl Harbor under the Hudson" for the way-too-wet=way-too-dry scenario.

Why the Twin Towers both fell ... just kidding.
"Since quantum mechanics was first formulated, a string of physicists including Albert Einstein have been uncomfortable with the idea of entanglement – whereby a group of quantum particles have a closer relationship than allowed by classical physics." [emphasis added] Quantum theory survives latest challenge, physicworld.com, 12/15/10.
"[U]ncomfortable"? Let's see. What on Earth could make a self-satisfied scientist uncomfortable? Something that discomfits them, perplexes, confuses, puts them ill at ease? What does that do to so great an intellect as Einstein along with the "string" of other physicists similarly situated. The uncertainty of not knowing, especially being ignorant of how something could possibly work when the genius-mind-wrap can't get itself all the way around what indisputably does work? The problem, as with entanglement, is that the reality, oops, the, uh, existential, yet inexplicable, nature of the phenomenon is, to the scientist mentality, runs counter to reality. Expressed in the linked article as "Quantum theory ... seems to call for entities that can instantly react to an event occurring elsewhere – apparently defying the principle of locality, which forbids communication faster than the speed of light."
Although the linked article doesn't use the term, entanglement was deemed by Einstein to be "spooky action at a distance" which actually sounds better in Einstein's native tongue, "spukhafte Fernwirkung" -- jawohl? The spookiness comes in because entanglement is the phenomenon, attributed to quantum effects, observed in repeated experiments (actually, just demonstrations now), wherein two particles, having emanated from the same source, respond instantaneously to external stimuli applied to either independently, responding in the same fashion at no matter how great a distance that they're apart. This is, to many with a stubborn streak born of the maddening inscrutability of this mystery, a Chinese box that can be solved, a Gordian Knot that can be untied, a Bermuda triangle that can be rounded off, a Lay's potato chip that can be eaten ... alone.
Here we have the latest attempt to put enough of a wrinkle in the usual process to put quantum sinners at ease about their unbelief. Nope. Same old, Same old, Same old, Same old ... with more of the Same in a slightly different shade of Same. A 2003 proposal attempted to isolate two separate theoretical features of entangled particles wherein entanglement would be shown to be based in reality, rather a strictly quantum affair; an experiment designed to test this idea was conducted in 2007, but the results concluded that proposing "instantaneous communication [between two separated photons, units of light energy, was the fundamental basis for observed entanglement] is not enough to explain entanglement and[, therefore,] realism must also be abandoned [as having any basis for truly giving us delirious scientists an out]." The latest iteration of this scratching at the quantum cathedral, uses the measurement of a separate characteristic of photons, orbital angular momentum, the momentum going around an axis in circular fashion, such as the theoretical manner that an electron orbits around a nucleus, in effect, measuring a phantom quality of units of light, since electrons don't actually spin around a nucleus like a satellite, but are considered to be quantumly irresistible to being pinned down to an exact location, such as in a regular orbit). Nevertheless, huffpuff, just recently, this latest go-around, way around, has merely made entanglement the king of you-can't-touch-this-stuff of quantum effects. As one of the researchers said, "The main outcome is really a philosophical result." Philosophical? Exactly. Sort of.
Wake me when they admit that entanglement is just one of the very provable ways that the Deity interacts with His Creation and that it's how, e.g., so many identical twins, anecdotally (there having been, surprisingly, no clinical trials of these rather well known dual responses), have instantaneous reactions to their genetic doppelganger's experiences (due to the genetic particles of each being from the identical DNA molecules) and, e.g., how prayer works (all the particles of every human having an origin in the Creator Who hears prayers).

Late update on "The Wrath of Global Scorching w/trailer from Russia w/NO love": NASA spies storm stretching across the Sun
Early Christmas ... for NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the twin STEREO COR1 telescope satellites which have transmitted images that allow for the 1st time, the enabling of the capacity to analyze 12 significant events over a 28-hour period spanning 180 degrees of solar longitude (NASA spies storm stretching across the Sun, 12/15/10). Whoopee? Although solar activity has been ramping up for months (see, e.g., NASA/Goddard, Cosmic rays at space age high, 9/9/09), August 1st of this year marked the date of this eye-opening event, eye-opening for astrophysicists anyway. The rest of you ... try to keep those eyelids from flapping shut.
According to an astrophysicist with top Defense Department contractor, Lockheed-Martin, "We can [now] see that solar storms can be global events, playing out on scales we scarcely imagined before." These researchers can detect, via the capabilities of SDO/STEREO-COR (lit up after the February orbiting of SDO), the interconnectivity between solar flares as a complex interweaving of magnetic fault zones (sort of like Earth's plate tectonics fault zones), dubbed "separatrices". So. 1 small step for an SDO/STEREO-COR, 1, uh, small step closer to finding that the same fundamental energy that brought the Earth to life, also makes the Sun the hottest thing in the neighborhood.
Because the Sun is essentially a giant ball of fuel that makes everything in the Solar System go round in gravitationally-bound circles, emitting the heat which potentiates life on an Earth with a molten core, the fact making itself evident, as of August 1, is that the Sun's intense clouds of energetic radiation, the byproducts of the giant ball of fuel belching on occasion, when launched into space, do so en masse, such that the possible havoc to be wreaked on, say, little ol' Earth, is enhanced greatly. Of course, as noted in "The Wrath ... [etc.]", the magnetic field of the Earth cranks way down on the damage the Sun's blasts of energetic radiation (in solar flares and coronal mass ejections, i.e., belching).
Since the surveillance of the rather angry old Sol with these advanced tools has been available for only a very short time, astrophysicists have no way of knowing whether what they saw as of August 1st had been going on for multi-millenia, or whether it was a virginal kind of a thing; the magnetic shield normally soaking up the exceedingly adverse effects that would, for instance, pose a serious threat to astronauts and satellites, being mostly outside the invisible magnetic field/shield, would have been unavailing had this happened during the current space age and, therefore, a known previous occurrence. In the obverse support of this proposed dynamic, scientists who spend their days looking at the dirt wouldn't be able to tell whether such an event ("when almost the entire Earth-facing side of the Sun erupted in a tumult of activity") had ever happened within space age memory either, and for the same reasons provided by the vigilance of the ever-present magnetic guardian. Of course, downward-gazing scientists might be able to tell if the Earth had been swept by a longlonglongago coronal mass ejection striking the Earth w/its magnetic pants down, but wouldn't be able to determine the strength of that flare.
Astrophysicists are well aware of the dangers of solar radiation because smaller versions of what was observed in August have taken place; it's already known that "[s]olar flares can be particularly hazardous as they disturb high-frequency radio communications and GPS and the disruptions occur very quickly as the dangerous X-rays travel at the speed of light"; however, seeing "entire Earth-facing side of the Sun [erupt] in a tumult of activity" has never happened before. The point is, relative to the ongoing flipping of the magnetic pole of the Earth (which can last for thousands of years or be more sudden) and the concurrent loss of the magnetic shield, the current spate of flares and coronal mass ejections represents what scientists who dwell on such morbid, worldwide scenarios refer to as "slate-wipers".
Global scorching of the 2nd Kind.

[etc.]", the magnetic field of the Earth cranks way down on the damage the Sun's blasts of energetic radiation (in solar flares and coronal mass ejections, i.e., belching).
Since the surveillance of the rather angry old Sol with these advanced tools has been available for only a very short time, astrophysicists have no way of knowing whether what they saw as of August 1st had been going on for multi-millenia, or whether it was a virginal kind of a thing; the magnetic shield normally soaking up the exceedingly adverse effects that would, for instance, pose a serious threat to astronauts and satellites, being mostly outside the invisible magnetic field/shield, would have been unavailing had this happened during the current space age and, therefore, a known previous occurrence. In the obverse support of this proposed dynamic, scientists who spend their days looking at the dirt wouldn't be able to tell whether such an event ("when almost the entire Earth-facing side of the Sun erupted in a tumult of activity") had ever happened within space age memory either, and for the same reasons provided by the vigilance of the ever-present magnetic guardian. Of course, downward-gazing scientists might be able to tell if the Earth had been swept by a longlonglongago coronal mass ejection striking the Earth w/its magnetic pants down, but wouldn't be able to determine the strength of that flare.
Astrophysicists are well aware of the dangers of solar radiation because smaller versions of what was observed in August have taken place; it's already known that "[s]olar flares can be particularly hazardous as they disturb high-frequency radio communications and GPS and the disruptions occur very quickly as the dangerous X-rays travel at the speed of light"; however, seeing "entire Earth-facing side of the Sun [erupt] in a tumult of activity" has never happened before. The point is, relative to the ongoing flipping of the magnetic pole of the Earth (which can last for thousands of years or be more sudden) and the concurrent loss of the magnetic shield, the current spate of flares and coronal mass ejections represents what scientists who dwell on such morbid, worldwide scenarios refer to as "slate-wipers".
Of course, the folks at Lockheed-Martin aren't just squinting at the Sun for grins/giggles. Lockheed Martin is involved in the Space Fence (Lockheed Martin, click on Lockheed Martin Submits Bid for Space Fence), a program that will revamp the way the U.S. Air Force identifies and tracks objects in space which will use advanced ground-based radars to provide the Air Force with the capability to track objects, primarily in low-earth orbit, including teeny-tiny satellites (microsatellites) as well as space junk. L-M's new Space Fence tech is projected to "significantly improve the timeliness with which operators can detect space events which could present potential threats to GPS satellites or the International Space Station." Or, good ol' mommy Earth. Space Fence is scheduled to replace the existing Air Force Space Surveillance System, or VHF Fence, which has been in service since the early 1960s. Betcha didn't know about all that stuff was floating over your head w/much, much more to come, didya? The L-M website provides an illustration of just how much of their shit's going to be up there soon.
Unfortunately, if the magnetic shield is down (think Capt. James T. Kirk, "Deflector shields up, Mr. Sulu."), the Klingons, uh, the Sun will be able to easily penetrate the Earth's natural defenses (forget the artificial fences) with a once-in-a-Creation coronal mass ejection.

What everyone should understand about the present state of litigation in the US
This is commentary that was FWDed to someone seeking assistance in his contentious litigation in which the "judge" gave advice to his adversary's attorney. My references to "judge" and "court" are based upon the fact that, under the Judicial Revision Act of 1947 (JRA), the last and final nail in the coffin of the constitution of the United States as originally ratified, all trial courts in the country, both federal and State (under the rule of the Supremacy Clause, where federally-mandated rules governing behavior of arbiters, whether judges or "judges", must still be observed), have been converted to municipal corporate tribunals where the constitution does not bind the behavior of the officer sitting and hearing the matter. Hence, the term judge has become meaningless, as well as the term court. The only instrument that can be used to control the conduct of these "judges" under the present circumstances are the rules promulgated as binding on these officers, irrespective of the character of the tribunal.
The petition to remove would be based on a Petition for a Writ of Mandamus (to compel the "judge" to obey the federal rule concerning disqualification of "judges") filed in a UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT (the term applied to a district court of the United States by the JRA) pursuant to the following provisions set forth at Fraud-upon-the-court by an Officer of the Court, concerning, obviously, fraud upon the court. This commentary is very good as to the underlying nature of intrinsic fraud upon the court (fraud committed by the "judge" him/herself as, e.g., by showing partiality, e.g., in giving specific legal advice to one side). Note that the opinions cited are, effectively, rules themselves, in addition to the overarching rule of 28 USC 455(a). The bold type is in the original, but I've further highlighted interesting points by underlining them with additional comments in [] brackets. As you've already experienced, these "court" fights are not based upon the facts or the law; however, fighting with a "judge" without these kinds of rules weapons, which must always be assumed to be appropriate in every matter, you've got both hands tied behind your back.

1. Who is an "officer of the court"?
A judge is an officer of the court, as well as are all attorneys. A state judge is a state judicial officer, paid by the State to act impartially and lawfully. A federal judge is a federal judicial officer, paid by the federal government to act impartially and lawfully. State and federal attorneys fall into the same general category and must meet the same requirements. A judge is not the court. People v. Zajic, 88 Ill.App.3d 477, 410 N.E.2d 626 (1980).
Whenever any officer of the court commits fraud during a proceeding in the court, he/she is engaged in "fraud upon the court". In Bulloch v. United States, 763 F.2d 1115, 1121 (10th Cir. 1985), the court stated "Fraud upon the court is fraud which is directed to the judicial machinery itself and is not fraud between the parties or fraudulent documents, false statements or perjury. ... It is where the court or a member is corrupted or influenced or influence is attempted or where the judge has not performed his judicial function --- thus where the impartial functions of the court have been directly corrupted."
"Fraud upon the court" has been defined by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals [and, thus, the rule, as applied pursuant to the Supremacy Clause, in the geographical area of the 7th CIRCUIT, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana] to "embrace that species of fraud which does, or attempts to [i.e., doesn't even have to succeed], defile the court itself, or is a fraud perpetrated by officers of the court so that the judicial machinery can not perform in the usual manner its impartial task of adjudging cases that are presented for adjudication." Kenner v. C.I.R., 387 F.3d 689 (1968); 7 Moore's Federal Practice, 2d ed., p. 512, ¶ 60.23. The 7th Circuit further stated "a decision produced by fraud upon the court is not in essence a decision at all, and never becomes final."[see par. 3, 1st line]

"Fraud upon the court" makes void the orders and judgments of that court.
It is also clear and well-settled Illinois law that any attempt to commit "fraud upon the court" vitiates [erases] the entire proceeding. The People of the State of Illinois v. Fred E. Sterling, 357 Ill. 354; 192 N.E. 229 (1934) [being published in the N.E. reporter gives relative geographical proximity some weight to Illinois decisions in Wisconsin] ("The maxim that fraud vitiates every transaction into which it enters applies to judgments as well as to contracts and other transactions."); Allen F. Moore v. Stanley F. Sievers, 336 Ill. 316; 168 N.E. 259 (1929) ("The maxim that fraud vitiates every transaction into which it enters ..."); In re Village of Willowbrook, 37 Ill.App.2d 393 (1962) ("It is axiomatic that fraud vitiates everything."); Dunham v. Dunham, 57 Ill.App. 475 (1894), affirmed 162 Ill. 589 (1896); Skelly Oil Co. v. Universal Oil Products Co., 338 Ill.App. 79, 86 N.E.2d 875, 883-4 (1949); Thomas Stasel v. The American Home Security Corporation, 362 Ill. 350; 199 N.E. 798 (1935).
Under Illinois and Federal law [cf. the Supremacy Clause], when any officer of the court has committed "fraud upon the court", the orders and judgment of that court are void, of no legal force or effect.

Federal law requires the automatic disqualification of a Federal judge under certain circumstances.
In 1994, the U.S. Supreme Court held that "Disqualification is required if an objective observer would entertain reasonable questions about the judge's impartiality. If a judge's attitude or state of mind leads a detached observer to conclude that a fair and impartial hearing is unlikely, the judge must be disqualified." [Emphasis added]. Liteky v. U.S., 114 S.Ct. 1147, 1162 (1994).
Courts have repeatedly held that positive proof of the partiality of a judge is not a requirement, only the appearance of partiality. Liljeberg v. Health Services Acquisition Corp., 486 U.S. 847, 108 S.Ct. 2194 (1988) (what matters is not the reality of bias or prejudice but its appearance); United States v. Balistrieri, 779 F.2d 1191 (7th Cir. 1985) (Section 455(a) "is directed against the appearance of partiality, whether or not the judge is actually biased.") ("Section 455(a) of the Judicial Code, 28 U.S.C. §455(a), is not intended to protect litigants from actual bias in their judge but rather to promote public confidence in the impartiality of the judicial process.").
That Court also stated that Section 455(a) "requires a judge to recuse himself in any proceeding in which her impartiality might reasonably be questioned." Taylor v. O'Grady, 888 F.2d 1189 (7th Cir. 1989). In Pfizer Inc. v. Lord, 456 F.2d 532 (8th Cir. 1972), the Court stated that "It is important that the litigant not only actually receive justice, but that he believes that he has received justice."
The Supreme Court has ruled and has reaffirmed the principle that "justice must satisfy the appearance of justice", Levine v. United States, 362 U.S. 610, 80 S.Ct. 1038 (1960), citing Offutt v. United States, 348 U.S. 11, 14, 75 S.Ct. 11, 13 (1954). A judge receiving a bribe from an interested party over which he is presiding, does not give the appearance of justice.
"Recusal under Section 455 is self-executing; a party need not file affidavits in support of recusal and the judge is obligated to recuse herself sua sponte under the stated circumstances." Taylor v. O'Grady, 888 F.2d 1189 (7th Cir. 1989).
Further, the judge has a legal duty to disqualify himself even if there is no motion asking for his disqualification. The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals further stated that "We think that this language [455(a)] imposes a duty on the judge to act sua sponte, even if no motion or affidavit is filed." Balistrieri, at 1202.
Judges do not have discretion not to disqualify themselves. [The alleged theory of absolute judicial immunity only applies in areas where a "judge" is acting pursuant to the ability to rule with discretion; without discretion, the "judge", even by the standard of alleged judicial immunity, becomes subject to lawsuit; see 2 paragraphs down, the underlined portion] By law, they are bound to follow the law. Should a judge not disqualify himself as required by law, then the judge has given another example of his "appearance of partiality" which, possibly, further disqualifies the judge. Should another judge not accept the disqualification of the judge, then the second judge has evidenced an "appearance of partiality" and has possibly disqualified himself/herself. None of the orders issued by any judge who has been disqualified by law would appear to be valid. It would appear that they are void as a matter of law, and are of no legal force or effect. [The charge of barratry goes to this point where, when the "judge" has "poisoned the well of justice" everything that proceeds from that well, thereafter, is also poisoned, also comparable to the fruit of the poisoned tree which knocks out convictions, trials, sentences, indictments, etc., in criminal cases which are founded upon processes in violation of, e.g., Miranda warning requirements.]
Should a judge not disqualify himself, then the judge is violation of the Due Process Clause of the U.S. Constitution. United States v. Sciuto, 521 F.2d 842, 845 (7th Cir. 1996) ("The right to a tribunal free from bias or prejudice is based, not on section 144[the motion for recusal provision], but on the Due Process Clause.").
Should a judge issue any order after he has been disqualified by law, and if the party has been denied of any of his / her property, then the judge may have been engaged in the Federal Crime of "interference with interstate commerce". The judge has acted in the judge's personal capacity and not in the judge's judicial capacity. It has been said that this judge, acting in this manner, has no more lawful authority than someone's next-door neighbor (provided that he is not a judge). However some judges may not follow the law.
If you were a non-represented litigant, and should the court not follow the law as to non-represented litigants, then the judge has expressed an "appearance of partiality" and, under the law, it would seem that he/she has disqualified him/herself.
However, since not all judges keep up to date in the law, and since not all judges follow the law, it is possible that a judge may not know the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court and the other courts on this subject. Notice that it states "disqualification is required" and that a judge "must be disqualified" under certain circumstances. [This paragraph ignores the presumption, in all areas, that judges, as well as attorneys, know the law and are required to act in pursuance thereof]
[The following are theoretically correct, but stay away!!] The Supreme Court has also held that if a judge wars against the Constitution, or if he acts without jurisdiction, he has engaged in treason to the Constitution. If a judge acts after he has been automatically disqualified by law, then he is acting without jurisdiction, and that suggest that he is then engaging in criminal acts of treason, and may be engaged in extortion and the interference with interstate commerce.
Courts have repeatedly ruled that judges have no immunity for their criminal acts [true, but barratry is a much softer approach which has the advantage of being considered obsolete but can be the opening wedge to a much more serious charge if that becomes a legitimate possibility; this is my sneaky Jap side at work]. Since both treason and the interference with interstate commerce are criminal acts, no judge has immunity to engage in such acts.
In 1994, the U.S. Supreme Court held that "Disqualification is required if an objective observer would entertain reasonable questions about the judge's impartiality. If a judge's attitude or state of mind leads a detached observer to conclude that a fair and impartial hearing is unlikely, the judge must be disqualified." [Emphasis added]. Liteky v.

Finally, during arguments before the US SUPREME COURT "JUSTICES" made their decision in Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal Company, Inc., et al., the Conference of Chief Justices filed a friend-of-the-court brief, or amicus curiae, in which they said, “The Conference takes the position that, under certain circumstances, the Constitution may require the disqualification of a judge in a particular matter because of extraordinarily out-of-line campaign support from a source that has a substantial stake in the proceedings.” [Caperton v. Massey | Brennan Center for Justice] Actually, there's nothing mandating that the "stake" be "substantial." See, also, the recent decision by a Virginia DISTRICT COURT "judge" who purported to strike down a provision of the recent healthcare reform act, despite having been involved financially and personally with the AG of VA (who brought the suit) in a political group lobbying against that act. While USAG Holder will almost certainly not attempt to "vitiate" this decision based upon the "judge"'s absolute duty to disqualify himself (whiffed on that one already), nevertheless, the decision IS void. Eagerly awaiting the Conference of Chief Justices amicus when this matter gets to the SUPREMEs.
The usage of the word “disqualification” was provocative since, in reading the Federal Rules, the language of the disqualification provision, 28 USC 455 (28 U.S.C. § 455 : US Code - Section 455, is "directed to the judge, rather than the parties, and is self enforcing on the part of the judge." US v Sibla, 624 F.2d 864, (9th Cir 1980)), provides that the act of disqualification is to be self-enforcing, that is, a motion for recusal shouldn’t even be necessary where the prejudicial factor is “extraordinarily out-of-line” as in, “Hey, dumbo, see that Exit sign … need we say more?!!” There isn’t any necessity for this “move the court” stuff. The alleged scholars who panned this decision did so on the basis of the recusal provision, a typical bait-and-switch when the party moving for recusal does so before a "judge" who knows which side of the “versus” his bread has been buttered. So, rather than getting down on your hands and knees in a pretty-pretty-please recuse yourself, serve the "judge" with a Notice of Disqualifying Circumstances and, then, be prepared for an amusing demonstration how to try to wriggle out of the tyranny of the rules. A Notice of Disqualifying Circumstances (in cases where I was the, uh, notifying party) always brings, out of the subject "judge"’s mouth, the verbal dodge-ball, “We’re here today on your motion to recuse me.” Duh. No. We’re not!

Stand your ground when the "judge" tries to evade the absolute requirement of self-disqualification upon due notice given of his/her being disabled from proceeding an inch further.
The Wrath of Global Scorching w/trailer from Russia w/NO love
DK if Dr. Halter is reading from the same Biblical script that I am, but "Wrath" is more than appropriate; global warming is the warning from the heavenlies that we're abusing the living entity otherwise known as Earth, created as the densest planet in the Solar System (What? You thought it was the gas-bag Jupiter?), i.e., the most packed with life-giving necessities, such as a molten core, loaded w/iron (to keep the dark side warm until break of dawn) which generates a magnetic field (which protects us relatively thin-skinned humans from nasty solar winds). May 16, the following "Brain Squeeze" post was sent out, relating seismic activity to this whole global warming/scorching dynamic:
A sub-chapter from a yet unpublished book (in which a straight-line is drawn from the climate problems literally percolating up from the bottom of the ocean to the end of that game in which the 4th Angel of the vials triggers the Wrath of the Father) is called "Global Scorching". It's the ultimate penalty for global warming (see Rev. 16:8-9). In the blog below, Dr. Halter lays out some of most dire circumstances, e.g.:
So, Brain asks, “Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?” And Pinky dutifully responds, “Why, I think so, Brain.” Unfortunately, no one has pondered this stuff before. I am, thus, a genetically-altered mouse without a Sancho Pinky, or, maybe, even a brain.
My pondering, since the Christmas Tsunami of 2004, has focused, however often mice can focus, on the possibility that global warming might be a factor in the increasingly dangerous seismic world in which we all, mice and men, live. In response to my pondering, my nephew, a science guy teacher, sent me a text that read, “U better get to work on that ark.” Not exactly, “I think so, Brain.” My unenthusiastic response, “Don’t have enuf animals.”
However, more encouraging to my theory is the web article “Earth's magnetic field gathers momentum” (http://physicsworld.com/cws/ article/news/42580), which doesn’t give my postulation any credence, but does admit that seismologists, stuck on the very outer skin of the Earth’s crust (which is proportionately to the volume of the Earth as the thickness of an eggshell is to its egg), really don’t know much about the particulars of what generates our planet’s magnetic field; they are pretty sure that the action of the molten metal regurgitating inside Earth’s guts is the gaussian-motor. To the extent that what’s inner is constantly spilling into the outer, in the form of lava flows ranging from mini to volcanic maxi, there is undeniable evidence that the gaussian-motor isn’t very far beneath our feet, eggshell-wise.
What French physicists, led by Nicholas Gillet, have discovered is that “subtle variations in the length of day [are linked] with conditions in the Earth's core”, that is, variations to magma-in-motion in the outer core (from whom all volcanic blastings flow) impacts angular momentum, the measure of the Earth’s rotation. Clearly, however, because magma is fluid, these variations aren’t the same in all areas of the outer core … at least, that’s what my mousy intellect is guessing. Therefore, variations in the angular momentum of the outer core with respect to the crust, which causes plate tectonics, results in variations in the torque applied to the crust by the outer core, which causes, according to this French kiss, variations in the length of a day, and, yyyyeeeesss, nasty plate tectonics, you know, earthquakes. Are you pondering what I’m pondering? And, all the chil’n say, “Naarf.”
Now, the geniuses who pass themselves off as experts on the Earth’s core don’t have much ego-boosting stuff available to avail themselves. This is where I, Brain, have the advantage, since it’s been widely reported that animals react to impending giant temblors as much as 10 hours before their onset. True. I, myself, have experienced such early-warning rumblings, like the urge to run away from Acme Labs … but, I digress. A giant temblor would almost certainly have some relationship to a giant variation in the angular momentum of the magma, at least, giant enough relative to the plate boundaries to make two adjacent plates want to play wrecking ball.
Bringing us to the original question of whether the increase in surface temperatures due to global warming, or even just plain old hot spells with seemingly endless cloudless days, contributes to unusually hot plates. First, let’s give a tip of the hat to the Pentagon as to one of the most secretly authoritative reports on global warming - the Pentagon-commissioned Global Business Network analysis, authored by Peter Schwartz and Doug Randall and published in the fall of 2003, gauging the potential for global conflict resulting from radical temperature change, due to start in … OMG! Due to start this year.
Second, since Animaniacs was cancelled, I no longer have access to the complex computing devices I invented at Acme Labs and, thus, cannot calculate the amount of heat that reaches the surface of the plates of the Earth with my normal unerring aplomb, but, now, of course, there’s the internet. So, a few clicks of my human and ...
Solar radiation cooks the surface of the Earth at a mean temperature of 350 W/sq-m, which means that, according to the angle at which the Sun’s rays strike the surface (varying according to the time of year) and other factors, eggs may fry or they may simply sit there, runny and pretty much disinterested in the proceedings.
Although there are magma disturbances that pass for earthquakes, the really bad boys are the ones that are, in a geological sense, right on the outside of the crust, think eggshell. So, is it reason to worry that the increase in caloric absorption, most of it on the outside of the crust, due to global temperature increase, especially concentrated at nearly perpendicular sun exposure (and, thus, making the night-time cool-down that much more exaggerated and prone to exacerbate plate boundary jostling), seismologically speaking? Zort.
Furthermore, could global warming have an effect on the ongoing shift in the magnetic poles of the Earth and, thereby, generate a disastrous feedback loop? Although there are magnetic-pole-shift deniers, just like there are global-warming deniers, the heat in the pole-pot hasn’t yet even begun to get the frogs discomfited. The current wisdom (remember, this is essentially the same area of expertise as any other field related to the way the Earth’s magnetic field works, that is, there are no real experts) is that a pole shift is thousands of years away and that it takes hundreds of generations for a shift to be completed. I, Brain, putting my mousy moxie to work, have determined that this is pure mouse poop.
For all those who aren’t aware (and, don’t be embarrassed, this ain’t one of those tip-of-your-tongue topics), the Earth’s magnetic poles have flipped many times over the course of the life of the planet, i.e., North becomes South and vice versa, so a pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-historic explorer with trusty compass would become completely disoriented upon the re-orientation of the magnetic orientation. When the poles do flip, any lava flows that occur before and after the shift exhibit magnetic effects that correspond to the Earth’s magnetic field before and after the shift, simply because lava is so hot, that the superheat erases whatever magnetic orientation iron in the lava may have had prior to being superheated and acquires magnetic orientation consistent with Earth’s magnetic field when the lava cools down sufficiently to allow its iron content to once again become magnetized.
According to some satellite observations, blotchy magnetic anomalies have already appeared around the globe and they’re not small, e.g., the South Atlantic anomalous zone which acts like a junior North Pole. What happens when a flip takes place, besides trusty compasses turning treacherous? The surface is temporarily subjected to the vagaries of solar wind, for one thing, since a pole-reversal isn’t exactly like flipping a coin or a burger; it takes awhile, in some cases, 3000 years, a mere blip in geological terms, but not so in mousy longevity.
And, what does exposure to solar wind do? Nothing good, my mousy sense tells me. In fact, it’s said to be almost a certainty that Mars no longer has water or atmosphere because, in some distant bad air day on the Red Planet, its magnetic field, called the magnetosphere, lowered its guard and all the good parts that make life possible was, then as now, “ripped” off the Martian landscape.
Computer simulations of the strength of the Earth’s magnetosphere show that pole-flipping is preceded by substantial weakening (10% in the last 150 years), the symptoms of which are … anomalous zones. When the magnetosphere is behaving, the solar wind (and all the nasty cosmic and UV rays that blow in with it) gets deflected around the atmosphere because of the dipole effect, that is, the electromagnetic nasties get attracted to the North/South polar axis and are effectively catapulted harmlessly past us otherwise unshielded citizens of the planet. When poles go rogue (shall I refer to them as Sarah-poles?), the random, sometimes wandering Sarah-poles pull the solar wind into those areas, much the same way that a magnifying glass focuses light and with the same searing effects. And, all this on top of the beginning of the 11-year solar flare cycle starting … this year.
The effect that solar wind, amped up due to solar flares, focused on random anomalous zones, might have on seismic activity (because the focal point(s) might have a significant effect on plate boundaries via, at least, expansion of the plate because of the extra extreme heat on plates containing anomalous zones) must be viewed in light of the high degree of probability that such anomalous zones bear some fairly strong relationship to the underlying torque of the outer core’s molten gaussian-motor.
All of which, cutting to a different chase, would ultimately contribute to the full thawing of the 10 trillion TONS of methane gas currently frozen at the bottom of the Earth’s oceans, the ultimate in greenhouse gases (as in about 10 times the greenhouse effect of CO2); an increase of 25+ deg in global temperature could be expected based upon the previous methane blitz experienced by the Mother planet (when the North Pole experienced balmy 70 deg temps). Now, THAT, no supposing about it, would have an effect on seismic activity.
Perfect.
What are we going to do tonight, Brain? Same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world … what’s left of it.

A sub-chapter from a yet unpublished book (in which a straight-line is drawn from the climate problems literally percolating up from the bottom of the ocean to the end of that game in which the 4th Angel of the vials triggers the Wrath of the Father) is called "Global Scorching". It's the ultimate penalty for global warming (see Rev. 16:8-9). In the blog below, Dr. Halter lays out some of most dire circumstances, e.g.:
Canada experienced its warmest and driest winter on record. Abnormally dry conditions in British Columbia combined with higher temperatures resulted in poor snow conditions for some events at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver/Whistler. Winter temperatures on average across the nation were 8 degrees F above normal. Springtime temperatures were also 5 degrees F above average.
Canada experienced the largest spring Arctic sea ice retreat ever recorded as well as registering the largest missing summer sea ice. To experience the warmest winter and spring, back to back, is extraordinary. The year 2010 will go on record as the hottest year ever recorded in Canada.
In Moscow the July mean temperatures were almost 10 degrees F above normal; and the heat wave that gripped the nation killed in excess of 11,000 people in Moscow alone.
Japan and China had their hottest summers ever recorded.
Extreme heat affected northern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula during the summer of 2010 with temperatures of 126 degrees F measured in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) and 123 degrees F at Doha (Qatar).
Of course, the unpretty picture of even a milder version of the hell-on-earth prophesied in Rev. 16:8-9 was graphically displayed by the never-before-seen wildfires that enveloped Moscow in a thick smoke in August; see, e.g., Climate 'linked to Moscow fires' - BBC;
| Moscow Fires: Hell on Earth. |
.
The full-blown global scorching of the 4th-Angel-kind will bring to a full boil what is now only just simmering -- the complete thawing of the methane gas currently mostly frozen at the bottom of the oceans, all 10 trillion tons of it, i.e., 20 quadrillion pounds of gas. Think about how much volume at normal atmospheric pressure that ordinary air occupies. 12 cubic feet. Now, compare that to the 0.04476085 pound of methane gas that occupies 1 cubic foot; let's see, if I still had the Brain here. Uh, oh, that's 446,819,000,000,000,000 cubic feet of methane available to melt all the ice on Earth in a matter of minutes, give or take ... oh, take your pick. Consider that the volume of the Earth's atmosphere is only about 183,636,266,951,740 cubic feet, meaning, that the methane would overwhelm the breathable stuff by a factor of over 2000. So, the 4th Angel only has to thaw out a small fraction of that ocean-hugging frozen methane to get a very nasty rise out its global scorching capabilities ... putting those very current Saudi Arabian temps into a category of relative balminess.
And bringing the full-length feature of Moscow Fires: Hell on Earth to a broiler near you.
Last week the Republicans in the House of Representatives decided to eliminate a global warming committee created by Democrats. Apparently some politicians continue to deny that human beings are leaving an indelible footprint around the globe.
Vicious hate-mailers which frequent my inbox on the subject of global warming seem also to be in denial, yet a recent survey published in July 2010 in The Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences found that of 1,372 scientists involved in climate research 97 to 98 percent supported anthropogenic (or human-induced) climate change (ACC).
Twenty-four climate models including Japan's Earth Simulator super-computer predict that if a carbon-cap is not firmly in place by 2020 Earth's temperature will rise by at least 5.5 degrees F and perhaps as high as 10 degrees F by the end of this century.
And while the delegates for 193 nations meet at the U.N. climate summit in Cancun and argue for who pays for what; this year (2010) will go down as a record year for the amount of coal burned in one year on our planet. It will easily exceed 6.25 billion tons and China's galloping economy will have contributed at 54 percent of the global emissions.
Each of their coal-fired power plants is consuming 2.2 billion gallons of fresh water and worldwide burning coal is adding as much as 7,500 tons of mercury vapor -- a potent neurotoxin -- to our stratosphere. It's winding up in our food chain and drinking water here in America.
Let's take a look at what Earth's ecosystems are telling scientists about rising temperatures, acidifying oceans, droughts, intense rainfalls, dying forests and melting ice caps.
Rising temperatures have significantly impacted Hawaii. Surface temperatures are rising, rainfall and stream flow has generally declined, rain intensity has increased, sea level and sea surface temperatures have increased, and the ocean is acidifying.
Around the world jellyfish populations are on the rise as the oceans acidify. Shellfish, on the other hand, like mussels, shrimp, or lobsters are at risk since they will find it considerably more difficult to build their protective shells.
Oceans are naturally alkaline and had a pH level of about 8.2 in 1750. Since the Industrial Revolution, the acidity has increased by 30 percent. Earth's oceans absorb about 25 percent of the global CO2 emissions. In this process, CO2 is converted into carbonic acid. Rising CO2 levels are unequivocally causing the oceans to become more acidic.
Canada experienced its warmest and driest winter on record. Abnormally dry conditions in British Columbia combined with higher temperatures resulted in poor snow conditions for some events at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver/Whistler. Winter temperatures on average across the nation were 8 degrees F above normal. Springtime temperatures were also 5 degrees F above average.
Canada experienced the largest spring Arctic sea ice retreat ever recorded as well as registering the largest missing summer sea ice. To experience the warmest winter and spring, back to back, is extraordinary. The year 2010 will go on record as the hottest year ever recorded in Canada.
In Moscow the July mean temperatures were almost 10 degrees F above normal; and the heat wave that gripped the nation killed in excess of 11,000 people in Moscow alone.
Japan and China had their hottest summers ever recorded.
Extreme heat affected northern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula during the summer of 2010 with temperatures of 126 degrees F measured in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) and 123 degrees F at Doha (Qatar).
After 13 years of being parched the drought in Australia (except for the southwest) broke. Rainfall arrived, farmers rejoiced, grain crops grew and then the rain kept on falling.
A bumper grain crop of 45 tons was predicted. It was the wettest September since the inception of record keeping in the 1850s in Australia. So far at least 15 tons of grain have rotted on the fields. Global grain prices, already at a two-year high after a drought in Russia, have soared again due to persistent rainfall ruining Australian crops and fueling fears of a global shortage.
October was the driest month in Mexico since 1941. November was the driest month in Israel since 1950 and its just suffered the worst-ever forest fire incinerating about 13,000 acres or 60 percent of the Carmel forest, killing 42 people and destroying over 250 homes.
Droughts have been relentless in the Amazon. In 2005 the northwest jungle experienced a one in 100 year drought. In concert with an intense storm 620 miles long by 124 miles wide at least 500 million trees were killed.
Usually the Amazon can absorb about 2 billion tons of CO2 a year. In 2005 the massive die-off of trees released 3 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, therefore an additional 5 billion tons of heat-trapping gases accumulated that year - more than the combined annual emissions of Europe and Japan.
In 2009 extreme flooding occurred in the Amazon jungle.
This year the drought in the northwest Amazon is forecasted to be more lethal than that of 2005. The mighty Negro River -- a tributary of the Amazon River -- is at its lowest since records began in 1902. Over 60,000 people are now without food and fresh water.
Almost 900 miles southwest of the Negro River over 36,600 fires are alight in the forest over four times the number burning at this time last year.
Unless we reduce our global greenhouse gases around the globe researchers from Carnegie Institution for Sciences predict rising temperatures will alter rainfall in the Amazon by at least 37 percent; many plants and animals now living there with either move but more likely die. Let me remind you that the Amazon accounts for about a fifth of Earth's annual oxygen output.
Droughts, wild fires and a plague of indigenous bark beetles have leveled the western forests of the United States. Instead of Arizona, Idaho, Colorado and Wyoming forests absorbing CO2 they too are now emitters of CO2.
In the last 60 years the northwestern Antarctic Peninsula has warmed faster than perhaps any place on Earth. Winter temperatures have soared by 11 degrees F, and 90 percent of the 244 glaciers are in retreat. The ice-dependant Antarctica krill which feeds millions sea birds and marine mammals has declined in some cases by as much as 80 percent.
The natural world is in a tailspin from the speed of rising temperatures; there is no debate about human-induced global warming amongst field scientists working in marine or terrestrial ecosystems. Global warming is a citizen's issue therefore we all are required to lend a helping hand -- the time is now.
