Here we will try to show the United States Government and the rest of the world that most Americans are against war and the build-up of our Military Industrial Complex. We are particularly against the notion of WORLD DOMINION by the U.S.A. or any other war-faring nation.
We are Americans Fighting for World Peace, and our fight begins at home.Mz.Many Nameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03024590325712635526noreply@blogger.comBlogger186125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917057628454797149.post-2734943822411653992011-07-25T02:37:00.000-04:002011-07-25T02:37:03.451-04:00Rumsfield: Paving the Way for Torture<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWerXHS893U&feature=related">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWerXHS893U&feature=related</a>Mz.Many Nameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03024590325712635526noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917057628454797149.post-8800232619100124102011-07-24T13:35:00.002-04:002011-07-24T13:35:43.180-04:00Jane Fonda: The Truth about My Trip to Hanoi<a href="http://janefonda.com/the-truth-about-my-trip-to-hanoi/">http://janefonda.com/the-truth-about-my-trip-to-hanoi/</a>Mz.Many Nameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03024590325712635526noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917057628454797149.post-8629538219646620292011-06-25T04:08:00.000-04:002011-06-25T04:08:27.246-04:00The REAL Reason We Attacked Gadaffi's & His Regime<span style="font-size: large;">In the beginning: Before the Invasion; Although this video dosent talk too much about Gadaffi's plan to switch the arab world to a gold standard, it does give some indication that the US was happy with his regime at this point in time,...as it was "Israel Friendly" and provided at least some degree of stability among Israels hostile neighbors . It wasent until Gadaffi's tooks steps to further his "Gold Standard Plan" that the USIsraelis became concered and ordered his regime taken out. For some reason they are finding that more difficult to do than thought,...and "secret" negotiations are being conducted as a way to let Gadaffi possibly stay in (power) somehow.....or at least get some kind of protection from US,...a new place to live and/or identity, a job with our CIA and/or one, both or all three. Thats just the way "we" roll. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Listen carefully as Dr. Franklin Lamb, director of Americans Concerned for Mid-East Peace" tells us a little bit about our history of western expansion and Imperialistic ways and how we came to have 800 bases in over 130 countries . This interview with Dr. Lamb was just prior to the US and UKs decision to invade Lybia for the (alleged) human rights violations that the regime was accused to have been and/or continue to conduct against its citizen rebels.... (stirred up, no doubt, by "foreign interveiner freedom fighters from the west." In other words,...CIA, FBI, Secret Service,...covertly.) As you will see after viewing the string of videos I have compiled for you here,...Gadaffi and his "Gold for Oil" plan DID NOT sit well with US or Israel, and was the string that broke his camels back</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Something else we are doing horribly wrong in Lybia - as we did in Iraq & Afganistan.

<span style="font-size: large;">Something else we are doing terribly wrong in Lybia,...IGNORING REFUGES CALLS FOR HELP: 600 Lybians drown at sea;; <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PssKFiesNyo&feature=relmfu">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PssKFiesNyo&feature=relmfu</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Israel called the shots here, in deciding to attack Lybia,..no doubt about it in anybodies mind. They ALWAYS have the last say regarding our (I mean their) foreign policies of which we "lovingly" embrace; </span><span style="font-size: large;">Senate gives unwavering support to Israel; <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJOvkrfFCXQ&feature=related">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJOvkrfFCXQ&feature=related</a></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The House is "A-ok" with NATO assault on Lybia - on Friday the House rejected a measure to cut funding for offensive operations by U.S. forces in Libya, pulling back from an effort to confront President Obama over the three month-old conflict. The resolution failed by a vote of 180 to 238.</span><br />

Read first blog on detoxing from radiation.<br /><br />Blog: The Vatic Project - Daily Summary - March 13, 2011<br /><br />I. Post: How to Detox Your Body of Depleted Uranium Residues, the Effects of Radiation, and Radioactive Contamination; <a href="http://vaticproject.blogspot.com/2011/03/how-to-detox-your-body-of-depleted.html">http://vaticproject.blogspot.com/2011/03/how-to-detox-your-body-of-depleted.html</a><br /><br />Vatic Note: I have no way of verifying the accuracy these articles, or if radiation detoxification is possible, but I am including all that I have found about radiation detoxification over the past 7 years that I have been collecting this info, so it comes from many different sources and experiences including Japan from WW II experience, and I did so in the hopes that it may be helpful to all those exposed to it.<br /><br />Please send me additional information that you may have, or results of using these methods, so that I can share it with others. since we won't have a lot of time, its important to get going on this below first thing, they do have recommendations below on how to prepare you body and self for the eventuality that it will come over head. THEN WE GO AFTER THEM BIG TIME, FULL TIME, AND EVERYONE DOES IT. Are you sick of this attack against us yet??? Read and STUDY THIS BELOW AND BUY WHAT YOU NEED. you must understand that this goes in stages..... first you have to detox your skin, clothes etc...... this is contained below, then bath for detoxing 20% of what is within you out that way. Then you have to do internal detoxing and while you are doing that you have to eat.... right??? So those are two different things and they are also covered below. The map shows the first early radiation and lightest should hit us tomorrow which is the third day. After that in the 6th day we get another batch and final is 9th day which is suppose to be the worst. We can all survive this. We just have to do what it takes. Click above link to read more.<br /><br /><br />II. Post: JAPAN EARTHQUAKE - HAARP OR TOP SECRET MILITARY SPACE MISSION? OR BOTH?<br /><a href="http://vaticproject.blogspot.com/2011/03/japan-earthquake-haarp-or-top-secret.html">http://vaticproject.blogspot.com/2011/03/japan-earthquake-haarp-or-top-secret.html</a><br /><br />Vatic Note: Remember Harp needs water heated for it to work on earthquakes. So is that why the secret military space mission just before the earthquake? Another question, Fulford said that the attack came from either NM or Nevada. Now how did he know that? We have a video below on the fact that there is a facility in Nevada. We also have an article about the space mission below. So check all of this out and see if you put it together the way I am beginning to see it. I am not sure about Fulford, but for now, the evidence "appears" to be there. Although graphics manipulation has turned into a real art form. Laser tech to heat the water? This video also answers any questions some doubting thomases may have about the source of the earthquake. He simply furthers the understanding about who did this and now with radiation on the way to the states, there goes the weapon of mass destruction they have wanted to use on us.<br /><br />REMEMBER, ITS NOT THE US, ITS ISRAEL AND BRITAIN, remember, the Queen is to Uranium what DeBeers is to diamonds. She is the largest private land owner in the world with massive amounts of uranium on the land she owns. I guess she will be selling alot of it after this.<br /><br />There are two articles, the first are two videos explaining what may well have happened, and the second is an article ON THE TOP SECRET SPACE MISSION GOING UP JUST BEFORE THE EARTHQUAKE WITH TOP SECRET WEAPONS THAT MAY WELL BE SPACE LASERS THAT CAN HEAT THAT WATER AS NEEDED TO CREATE THE EARTHQUAKE USING HARP.<br /><br />Remember the gulf: The top secret military space mission went up just before the gulf blow out and then after we mention the lasers that day, and showed the video with two laser beams on the gulf and they matched the position of the holes in the top of the platform of the rig, they then changed the story to say it went up after the gulf blow out. Also remember the contract awarded for a second laser development since the first one performed so well. We had the blog on that here. I am with Fulford, NO WORLD WAR EXCEPT WITH THE ROTHSCHILD INTERNATIONAL BANKERS. .Click link above to read the rest<br /><br /><br />III. Post: THE 'HISTORIC ANTI-CORRUPTION RALLY (INDIA)' - THAT WENT 'UNREPORTED IN THE PRESS - Part I - The Speech<br /><br /><a href="http://vaticproject.blogspot.com/2011/03/historic-anti-corruption-rally-that.html">http://vaticproject.blogspot.com/2011/03/historic-anti-corruption-rally-that.html</a><br /><br />Vatic Note: Every where that the Khazars have inserted themselves into the heart and core of a government is abject and obscene corruption at a level unprecedented. While corruption is always with us, its never been at a level that costs the nation and their people such a high price as to border on high treason and the potential overthrow of that government. This is simply another example, only this time its not in some arab or muslim nation, its with a much different society and culture. Remember, the culture is a caste system and that makes it easier to get away with it. Also we just proved that is not necessary for success. We have lost our nation to Israel and the Rothschild internationalist bankers without that caste system, but then we are voluntaryily ignorant and that is why we lost our country. Indians are educated and knowledgeable as we see here. Its good to see what is going on in other countries. Its the glue that binds us since we are all suffering under the yoke of Rothschild International Khazar banking mafia which gives me hope that a world revolution against these bankers is possible. Its more than just corruption that is the problem, its the blackmailing and threats to family and life of our elected officials. Knowing that has helped me focus on the true perps until we can free up our politicians to do what is right for us without costing them their lives..... then we can figure out who was bought off and who was blackmailed and threatened and take care of it from there. NO WORLD WAR AND NO REVOLUTION AGAINST THE GOV, BUT INSTEAD AGAINST THE INTERNATIONAL BIS ROTHSCHILD BANKING ZIONIST FASCIST MAFIA.<br />Click on link above to read the rest<br /><br /><br />IV. Post: THE 'HISTORIC ANTI-CORRUPTION RALLY' - THAT WENT 'UNREPORTED IN THE PRESS - Part II - The corruption listed<br /><br /><a href="http://vaticproject.blogspot.com/2011/03/historic-anti-corruption-rally-that_13.html">http://vaticproject.blogspot.com/2011/03/historic-anti-corruption-rally-that_13.html</a><br /><br />Vatic Note : AS we can see, this rebellion is occurring world wide even within our most precious allies, India for one. Remember, Mossad/Israel have an unusually close relationship with India, its intelligence depts and her leaders. Remember also that India has a heavy caste system that is almost unbreakable. You cannot over come the caste you were born into through any mechanisms that are socially available. Keeping this in mind, you can see why the Khazar Israeli's have an affinity to the leadership of India, since they see the rest of the world the same way compared to them. We are cattle to be used as fodder for wars and slave labor. That is the main reason I support those unions in Wisconsin because that is the message being sent, WE ARE NOT FODDER FOR ANYTHING FOR ANYONE. It needs to be shouted loud and clear. Read this section part II about the specifics of the corruption and see the parallel to what we are experiencing right here. Part I deals with the unreporting of this rally and part II deals with the specifics of the reasons for it. These are not arabs, so this is not a MUSLIM ISSUE, THIS IS AN INTERNATIONAL KHAZAR BANKING ISSUE controlled by the ROTHSCHILDS that are destroying every single country on the planet with a few exceptions like Denmark, etc Bilderbergs and Khazar owned Royalty.

The ostensible aim has been to warn the international community that the lengthy 'cold peace' between the two countries is on the verge of collapse.<br /><br />In reality, the peace treaty signed three decades ago is in no danger for the forseeable future. The Egyptian and Israeli armies have too much of a vested interest in its continuation, whatever political reforms occur in Egypt.<br /><br />And if the Egyptian political system really does open up, which is still far from sure, the Israeli military may actually be a beneficiary -- if for all the wrong reasons.<br /><br />The main value of the 1979 Camp David treaty to the Israeli leadership has been three decades of calm on Israel’s south-western flank. That, in turn, has freed the army to concentrate on more pressing goals, such as its intermittent forays north to sow sectarian discord in Lebanon, its belligerent posturing towards first Iraq and now Iran in the east, and its campaign to contain and dispossess the Palestinians under its rule.<br /><br />But since Mubarak’s ousting on February 11, Israeli politicians and generals have warned that democracy for Egypt is bound to empower the country’s Islamists, supposedly bent on Israel’s destruction.<br /><br />Last week, Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister, compared a post-Mubarak Egypt with Iran, saying Israel was “preparing for the worst”. Likewise, Gabi Ashkenazi, the departing chief of staff, stated that Israel was braced for the peace treaty’s cancellation as the “moderate camp” weakened.<br /><br />Officially, Tel Aviv’s concern is that, should the treaty be revoked, Israel will have to redirect much of its martial energy to preparing for potential hostilties with its neighbour, the most populous Arab state. Israel’s anxious declarations about the peace treaty, however, are largely self-serving.<br /><br />Peace has reigned between Israel and Egypt because it is so strongly in the interests of both militaries. That is not about to change while the Egyptian and Israeli general staffs maintain their pre-eminent roles as the praetorian guards of their countries’ respective political systems.<br /><br />Today’s close ties between the Israeli and Egyptian armies are a far cry from the earlier era of Gamal Abdel Nasser, who galvanised Arab nationalism in an attempt to defeat Israel, or his successor, Anwar Sadat, who almost led the Arab world to victory against the Israeli army in 1973.<br /><br />Since the signing of the 1979 agreement, Washington has bought off the hawks on each side with massive military subsidies underwritten by the American taxpayer. The US has been happy to bankroll an accord that strengthens Israel, its useful Middle Eastern ally, and buys the acquiesence of Egypt, the Arab state best placed to resist the current regional order.<br /><br />The Egyptian army receives $1.3 billion in annual military aid, making it the second largest recipient after Israel, which gets more than twice as much. In addition, military hardware has been lavished on the Israeli army, making it possibly the fourth strongest in the world -- an astonishing situation for a country of only seven million.<br /><br />The munificence has continued despite the US financial crisis, and includes Washington’s effective donation last year to Israel of two dozen of the next-generation F-35 stealth fighter jet as part of its pledge to maintain Israel’s “technological edge” over its rivals in the region.<br /><br />Three decades of American money thrown at the two armies have made each a key player in their respective economies -- as well as encouraging a culture of corruption in the senior ranks.<br /><br />In Egypt’s case, large sections of the economy are controlled by retired generals, from electrical goods and construction companies to the production of olive oil and medicines. The army is reported to own about a third of the country’s assets.<br /><br />The Israeli army’s economic stake is less ostentatious but no less significant. Its officers retire in their early forties on full pensions, and then cash in on their “security know-how”. Second careers in arms dealing, military consultancies or sinecures in Israel’s booming homeland security exports are all but guaranteed. Ehud Barak, a former chief of staff and the current defence minister, made millions of dollars from his security consultancy in a few years out of politics, for example.<br /><br />Corruption, endemic in Israel’s political culture, has rapidly seeped into the military. Some of it is visible, as demonstrated this month with the passing over of a series of candidates for the vacant post of chief of staff because of the skeletons in their closets. Some is not: current investigations into dubious activities by Mr Ashkenazi and his family are subject to heavy reporting restrictions.<br /><br />Nonetheless, both armies are revered by their countrymen. Even should that change in Egypt over coming months, the army is too strong -- thanks to the US -- to be effectively challenged by the protesters.<br /><br />Israeli hawks, however, are right to be concerned -- on other grounds -- about the “threat” of political reform in Egypt. Although greater democracy will not undermine the peace agreement, it may liberate Egyptians to press for a proper regional peace deal, one that takes account of Palestinian interests as the Camp David accord was supposed to do.<br /><br />Not least, in a freer Egypt, the army will no longer be in a position to play Robin to Israel’s Batman in Gaza. Its continuing role in the strangulation of the tiny enclave would likely come to an end.<br /><br />But in such a climate, the Israeli military still has much to gain. As Israeli analyst Aluf Benn has observed, Israel will use the Middle East’s upheavals to highlight to the US that it is Washington’s only reliable ally -- the so-called “villa in the jungle”. Its show of anxiety is also designed to remind the US that a jittery Israel is more likely to engage in unpredictable military adventures.<br /><br />The remedy, of course, is even greater American largesse. And for that reason, if no other, the fear-mongering from Tel Aviv is not about to end.<br /><br />- Jonathan Cook is a writer and journalist based in Nazareth, Israel.
