The McCain Effect . . .

Remember the Mary Hart seizure complex? Remember the Seinfeld episode where Kramer convulses uncontrollably when hearing her on TV?

Here’s a similar effect. General Petraeus passes out when listening to John McCain.

The Significance Of April 19 & 20 In History

Today is April 20.

So you thought 13 was an unlucky number? April 19th & 20th are fraught with violence and terrorism in history. Here are some examples:

The Columbine High School massacre occurred on April 20, 1999.  Dead: 15; Injured: 24

The Oklahoma City bombing attack on Alfred Murrah Federal Building occurred on April 19, 1995.  Dead: 168; Injured: 680+

The Waco Siege ended in a fire on April 19, 1993.  Dead: 26, 20 of them were children

Nazi invasion of Warsaw Ghetto is often cited to have occurred on April 19th/20th. → source

Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889.

The British attack on Massachusetts colonies occurred on April 19, 1775. That’s how you know about Paul Revere.

I can’t wait for April 21.

The Hijacking of Tea Party ‘Cause’

Tea Parties!

At first, the idea unreservedly appealed to me. I was proud of the Tea Party folks. It was all about people standing up and coming together for what they believed. To me, the cause didn’t matter. Fox News’ involvement didn’t matter. I was ecstatic to see Americans congregating around a common issue and getting involved in mass. I truly believe that kind of action is good for our country – whatever the cause may be.

But now, my respect for Tea Parties is completely evaporated. They’ve been infiltrated by Neo Cons, and the entire idea has become too political. Not only have they shunned Ron Paul (he was one of the original instigators of Tea Parties), they’ve inducted Sarah Palin as the leader. Tea Parties were all about ordinary people, neighbors and friends coming together. There was no clear leader. No more! It is now all about grooming Palin to run for President. Wake up tea party folks! The ’cause’ is no longer yours. You are now sheep following Neo Con directives.

Fortunately, it appears that several grassroots Tea Party organizations have recognized this sneaky infiltration. One example is Dale Robertson, the founder of teaparty.org, who recently posted the following on his website:

“[W]hat I am witnessing is an attempted defilement of the concept of what the Tea Party’s purposes are and where we are going. The bastardization of our message I find bilious and disingenuous on its face.

Tea Party members are being eyed as just another piece of voting meat.”

Oh, one more thing! You may now cough up $500/plate for dinner with leader Sarah Palin in the name of Tea Party fund raising.

Shiva, Protector of CERN!

The news from CERN is that the large Hadron Collider is set to restart (yes, again!) around Feb. 20. → source.

As I was looking for pictures of the collider, I found this photo in front of CERN facility.

I recognized that statue in the background, but couldn’t quite place it at first.  Google to the rescue! It’s the statue of Shiva, which happens to be a destructive deity. In other words, Shiva, God of destruction, is prominently placed and displayed outside of CERN.

Brilliant! I feel better already. No wonder the damn thing doesn’t work.

The ‘Clinton Bush Haiti Foundation’ Scam

A few weeks ago, I posted my skeptical take on this unlikely duo’s plan to help Haiti. → see post

Here are 3 more reasons why I don’t trust the ‘Clinton Bush Foundation’.

First, in a recent public speaking engagement, former President Bush said:

“I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water . . . just send your cash.”

Yes people, just send them your cash. That’s all they want. You have got to watch the video and see the expression on Bush’s face to understand the scam.

Second, let’s look at the second half of this duo. Check out this IRS tax form filed by the Clinton Foundation in 2008.  Look at line 15 under Expenses section. The foundation has “salaries, compensations and employee benefits” greater than $34 million.

$34 million! Why? How many employees do they have and why are their salaries so high? What kind of compensations and benefits are they passing out?

Third, in its charity review of ‘William J. Clinton Foundation’, the Better Business Bureau fails the foundation on 7 out of 20 Standards for Charity Accountability. → source

Apparently, a $34 million payroll is not enough to help them remain compliant with Charity Standards. Perhaps another $34 million of your donations can help with that!

Scam!!!

Haiti’s Earthquake – The Conspiracy Continues . . .

On January 23, I posted a conspiracy theory about Haiti’s earthquake. I received some comments, lots of personal emails and a whole lot of face-to-face conversations about it.

At this point, having nothing to lose since everyone thinks I’m already crazy, I’ll just keep going with those conspiracy theories. Here’s the latest:

Israel’s Earthquake Machine

So, you still believe earthquake machines couldn’t possibly exist? Here’s more proof from our BFF in the Middle East. Even Israel is getting in on the game, and they are publicly admitting it according to Israel National News. → source

Cloaked as “part of a scientific project intended to improve seismological and acoustic readings in Israel”, this earthquake machine is capable of creating “an earthquake of Magnitude 3″. Can we not extrapolate from there and assume that the US could posses a better, more powerful version of this toy?

Unlikely Allies

Still not satisfied? Here’s another crazy theory. Countless charities and foundations are now taking your donations for Haiti. One of those happens to be the ‘Clinton Bush Foundation’. Seriously? When did these two Presidents get together and create a foundation? They have nothing in common. Don’t try to convince yourself that, irrespective of their differing philosophies, they have joined forces for a worthy cause. That makes a nice Disney story, but it should scream conspiracy.

But wait, it gets better! Go to ‘Clinton Bush Foundation’ website: https://re.clintonbushhaitifund.org. Stop! Check out the SSL encryption certificate on this site. It’s from Equifax. EQUIFAX! The company that tracks your credit reports. Coincidence? Yeah, go ahead. I dare you to use this site to donate money.

Donate your money to Doctors Without Borders.

And Now The Case Against Airport Body Scanners

Damn the underwear bomber!

First, he ruins airport security lines. And I love how the government refers to them as ‘check points’. Yup, we are now officially slaves. The old Soviet Union had check points. Iraq and Afghanistan have check points. Go to TSA’s website, and you’ll see the word ‘check point’ all over their pages. And while I’m on my rant, why the hell is it that http://tsa.gov doesn’t work? You actually have to include the www. Could they not fix their DNS record?

But most importantly, he has ruined our culinary experiences. According to the Wall Street Journal, the increased use of body scanners at airports has resulted in an alarming discovery. It turns out that many chefs smuggle quality salami, prosciutto and headcheese in their pants as they travel from Europe to the US. → source

Yum!

I think I’ll have a prosciutto and brie sandwich for lunch tomorrow. Email or comment if you want to join me.

One last side-note. Have you noticed that recent pictures of terrorists resemble those prepared for Social Networking sites? They all have new-age poses and slight sideway alignment. When did that trend start?

Haiti – The Tragedy & The Conspiracy Theory

I was looking around Fox News’ website the other day when I noticed an interesting article: Hugo Chavez Mouthpiece Says U.S. Hit Haiti With ‘Earthquake Weapon’ → source

I’m the first to admit Chavez is crazy, but I’ve always felt crazy people view the world from different lenses. And different does not necessarily equate to false. Remember in the movie Men in Black when they checked the ‘hot sheets’ (tabloid)? That kind of ‘different’!

So I looked around. Here’s what I found. You’ll like this.

The Earthquake Machine

In a Department of Defense (DoD) briefing on Monday, April 28, 1997, the then Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen said:

. . . some countries . . . are designing some sort of engineering, some sort of insects that can destroy specific crops. Others are engaging even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves.

Yes, earthquakes! Don’t bother looking for that information on DoD’s website. It’s not there. You’ll find it on web archive site → here.

It’s not too far-fetched to think that governments, including our own, are working on top-secret and unthinkable weapons that we, normal people, don’t consider within the realm of possibilities. Don’t assume something is impossible just because you think it is.

The Plan

OK, so what if we possess an earth-quake weapon? Where’s the proof we might have used it? Consider this. One day before the earthquake, US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) in Miami was testing an emergency response system. The scenario? Providing relief to Haiti in the wake of a fictional hurricane. After the earthquake hit on Tuesday, SOUTHCOM decided to go live with the system immediately. How convenient! Check it out for yourself here.

The Reason

So, let’s review. It’s possible that we possess an earthquake machine and it’s also possible that we deployed it in Haiti. The question is why. Well, oil – possibly. Google oil in Haiti, and you’ll find many sources suggesting the possibility.

The Proof

According to bloggers monitoring flightaware.com (a site that records tail number of airplanes landing at most airports), at least one of the planes landing in Port-au-Prince since the earthquake has the following registration: N419AR  → source.  Who owns this plane? Mar-Don, Inc. What kind of company is that? An oil reclamation service → source

One more thing.  Somehow, much of our relief efforts for Haiti has ‘reform’ connotation attached to them. Here’s one example from a CNN headline: “Ex-envoy: Earthquake gives opportunity to reform Haiti”. Why reform? Why now? And that brings us back to oil.

Even Ron Paul said the following about the Haitian relief efforts: “There’s been a coup – have you heard?” → source

My heart goes out to those affected by this earthquake – whatever the cause may have been: God, tectonic plate geology, or earthquake machine.

The War On Terror – An Un-winnable Strategy

The war on Terror . . .

Once again, news stories about our war strategy in Afghanistan are dominating headlines. And the recent icing on the cake is President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize and how that may affect Afghanistan’s military direction.

Have you ever really paused to reflect on how our current strategy of ‘war on terror’ began? I’ve had this conversation numerous times and, almost regardless of political affiliation, the conversation resembles the following:

Q: Why are we in Afghanistan?
A: Because al-Qaeda attacked us, and the Taliban helped them.

Q: Why did they attack us?
A: Because they hate us.

Q: Why do they hate us?
A1: They hate our freedoms.
A2: They detest our wasteful lifestyle.

This is about the point where I shake my head in utter disbelief. How naive and stupid can we be as a nation? Terrorists don’t give a damn about our freedoms or how much of it we have. They couldn’t care less about our lifestyle either. They don’t have time for this non-sense. Grow up people. Jealousy is not their motivation. They attacked us because they detest our presence in the Middle East and our meddling in their affairs.

The conversation continues:

Q: Why are we in the Middle East?
A: To protect our interests.

Q: What are our interests?
A: Peace, democracy, Israel, ensuring 9/11 never happens again.

How small-minded! Most Republicans I speak to do not even cite oil as a top reason for our presence in the Middle East. Democrats jump all over the oil issue, but are unable to see the big picture.

The only reason we are in and care about the Middle East is oil. If you’re unable to see this truth, you live in a fantasy world. As a nation, we don’t care about democracy in other parts of the world. We are not interested in human rights. We are not able to control terrorism abroad. Don’t be fooled by what the government is telling us.

Democracy

Who’s our best friend in the Middle East despite the fact that they produced 19 of the 20 9/11 hijackers? Saudis, of course. Do they have a democracy? Far from it. When was the last time we threatened them with UN sanctions? Never. Why? Oil! I rest my case.

Who’s our other best friend in the Middle East? Israel. Do they have a democracy? Yes. Has that helped us in any decipherable way in the past few decades? I, as a member of the American public, am not aware of any. Are you?

Human Rights

Where was the last Olympics held? In China. Did we force them to confront their human rights violations in return for awarding them the Olympics? No. Why? They own our currency.

Terrorism and Spread of Democracy in the Middle East

The war on terror is not winnable. There, I said it. It is so un-impressively naive to believe that a democratically-elected government in Afghanistan is going to bury terrorism for us. Even if that was the case, then what? Pakistan is next, and we’ll have no choice but to invade them as well. At some point, we’ll have to deal with a nuclear face-off between India and Pakistan. In the mean time, Saudis will produce generation after generation of terrorists.

Democracy does not stop terrorism in the Middle East. In fact, there’s evidence that it will increase it. Israel is a democracy. Has any of that rubbed off on their neighbors in Palestine?

So much for protecting our interests in the Middle East.
