Spiegel :
European countries have condemned Israel's storming of an activist flotilla heading for the Gaza Strip early on Monday, which left at least 10 people dead.
German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said he was "deeply concerned" about the Israeli operation. "The initial reports are disconcerting," Westerwelle said Monday in Berlin, adding that the Foreign Ministry was attempting to gain a comprehensive overview of the circumstances of the incident.
Westerwelle's French counterpart, Bernard Kouchner, condemned the incident and called for an immediate inquiry. "I am profoundly shocked by the tragic consequences of the Israeli military operation," Kouchner said in a statement. "Nothing can justify the use of violence such as this, which we condemn. The circumstances of this drama must be fully brought to light and we wish for a thorough inquiry to be put in place without delay."
The European Union has also called for an investigation into the incident. "High Representative Catherine Ashton expresses her deep regret at the news of loss of life and violence and extends her sympathies to families of the dead and wounded," said a spokesperson for Ashton, the EU's foreign policy chief. "On behalf of the European Union she demands a full enquiry about the circumstances in which this happened."
Spain, which currently holds the rotating EU presidency, condemned the storming of the flotilla as "unacceptable" and "very serious." "We have summoned the Israeli ambassador (to Spain) to give us explanations and, of course, we will investigate and will start handling this matter immediately," said Diego Lopez Garrido, a senior Foreign Ministry official responsible for EU affairs.
A TimeLine Of The Israel Flotilla Massacre
The IDF releases its own video of the Gaza flotilla massacre. Did they send their soldiers onto the ship to get footage like this? They knew the reaction would be violent :
.
A Redditer rounds up the immediate fallout from European media :
German foreign minister Guido Westerwelle told that he is "deeply concerned" about the actions of the Israeli Army.
the presidency of the EU-Council labeled the action as "unacceptable" and "very harmful"
Spain's government summoned the Israeli ambassador
France foreign minster Kouchner told that he is "very shocked about the tragic results of the Israeli military operation" and added furthermore "nothing can justify such use of force/violence". He also longed for complete reconnaissance.
there will be a national mourning period for the next three days in Gaza.
some of the ships sailed under Turkish flag, which will lead to even more problem between Israel and Turkey. Additionally at least nine Turkish citizen died.
four soldiers are wounded, one with a bullet wound (from an Israeli weapon)
one reporter stated that the soldiers had shot before they entered the ships.
Israel stated that the passengers attacked the soldiers with iron bars and the soldiers just defended themselves
six ships have been captured
Israel's TV stated that there are 19 dead
several hundred elite soldiers stormed in international waters with helicopters and speed boats ships of the "Solidaritätsflotte"
EU told that the embargo of Gaza strip shall end right now and it's "not acceptable"
the police in Israel is at red alert and security forces started to control the Tempelberg/Temple Mount in Jerusalem
Abbas wants the UN Security Council to convene an emergency meeting
the Arabic league plans to publish an united conduct about the actions at Tuesday
EU wants a complete revelation of all unlawful things and told Israel to stop the embargo "without any conditions"
UN human rights commissioner Pillay told that she is "shocked" that humanitarianaid is stoped by force
the speaker of the German government Wilhem said that: "at first glance, it does not seem like" the proportionality principle was followed
Obviously, this is not over yet.

Is truth being buried by the rise of new media ?
He says, " Rather than bringing us closer together, websites and blogs are bringing more hatred, division and misinformation than ever before."
Speaking at a commencement ceremony in Virginia, Obama - a known user of BlackBerry, as well as Twitter and Flickr - singled out Apple's iPods and iPads for criticism. No, he wasn't cheering one item over another; he was trying to make the point that these high-tech gizmos and applications are straining American democracy.
"With iPods and iPads and X-boxes and PlayStations - none of which I know how to work - information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation," Obama said at Hampton University in Virginia. "These are distractions that are putting unnecessary pressure on the country."
It may seem that Obama was being hypocritical, given the fact that he has used such gizmos in his presidential campaign and in his current office. But if we look at his message with an open mind, we can't deny the fact that he has a point.
Obama lamented the spread of social media and blogs, through which "some of the craziest claims can quickly claim traction".
While Obama's message was for American consumption, Thailand and the rest of the world are not immune to this phenomenon.
"We can't stop these changes," he said, "but we can adapt to them. And education is what can allow us to do so. It can fortify you, as it did earlier generations, to meet the tests of your own time."
Thailand has come to know the "changes" that Obama was talking about. However, we can't say wholeheartedly that these changes are for the better. Much of the news about these new technologies, often disseminated through the so-called "new media", are associated with crime, such as theft and pornography, not to mention intrusion into private lives.
Modern telecommunications and Internet technology may make our business transactions faster and allow us access to information at the push of a button - as the makers of these devices claim that they are linking people closer to one another - but in reality they don't make us better people or help us better understand the world we live in.
Too often we confuse information with knowledge. Because we confuse these two very different ideals, there is a tendency to believe almost anything that is posted on the Internet or sent via Twitter. This is a dangerous development.
"With so many voices clamouring for attention on blogs, on cable, on talk radio, it can be difficult at times to sift through it all, to know what to believe, to figure out who's telling the truth and who's not," Obama said.
The users of the so-called "new media" of blogs, Twitter and Websites all operate on "real time" and they cannot and will not wait 24 hours before releasing their information - accurate or not. And so they grab at anything politicians say or do without putting it in a proper context. In other words, it's not hard for the new breed of shameless politicians and others to exploit this reality.
In a traditional newspaper, information is ditched every 24 hours. While this gives the public time to sift out the truth and form considered opinions, it also greatly reduces the free space to spin out lies or half-truths.
While Obama was referring to American society when he said "All of this is not only putting new pressures on you. It is putting new pressures on our country and on our democracy", we cannot deny that the same can be said for many other countries.
In some parts of Asia, where governments are dealing with vicious opposing voices, these new communication platforms have generated more hatred, misinformation and societal division than ever before.
Unfortunately, we can't turn back the clock. We can only, as individuals, employ sound judgement and not be fooled into believing everything that the spin-doctors and bloggers want us to believe.
This should be a lesson to all of us who blog, or communicate on social media, to take this democratic right responsibly, and seriously, to sift the chaff from the wheat, and try to be as accurate as possible in what we write about.
But like everything else in this world, that is easier said than done.

There's plenty more to be said on this, later, but for now the main details from the Irish Examiner :
The United States has "ended its war on drugs" and is now moving its focus to prevention and treatment, the US drugs chief has told top Irish drug officials.The Full Story Is HerePresident Barack Obama’s drugs adviser Gil Kerlikowske held a series of meetings yesterday with Drugs Minister Pat Carey, Garda Commissioner Fachtna Murphy and Department of Justice secretary general Sean Aylward.
The former police chief said the US had formally ended its much heralded – and hugely expensive – "war on drugs".
"We’ve talked about a ‘war on drugs’ for 40 years, since President Nixon. I ended the war," said Mr Kerlikowske, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP).
Dennis Hopper, before the alcoholism and LSD abuse took hold in the late 1960s, was regarded as one of the greatest actors of his generation.
Anyone under 50 knows Hopper better as one of the great portrayers of the unhinged and psychotic. His role as the disturbing gas huffer Frank in Blue Velvet being one of the finest examples, along with the dope-dealing Feck in River's Edge

The point that Jesse makes in this clip is an interesting one. He has footage of George Soros saying that the enemies of the New World Order are the oil producing nations (5:34 on the counter). Jesse speculates that the push toward clean energy draws us away from oil, enabling the globalists to take control with the green movement.
This quote from Soros would make you wonder if we are truly running out of oil. Some believe that oil is a renewable resource, yet others say we are running out. This could be the same type of false information being put out there by the elite controllers, since they are having a difficult time taking control of the oil producing countries.
So Jesse doesn't say that the accident was an inside job, but they are drawing it out in the media to upset the American people.

"...an irony of modern combat: it does extraordinarily violent things to the human body but requires almost dead calm to execute well. Complex motor skills start to diminish at 145 beats per minute, which wouldn't matter much in a swordfight, but could definitely ruin your aim with a rifle. At 170 beats per minute you start to experience tunnel vision, loss of depth perception, and restricted hearing.

Is Mary the Co-redeemer?
Why is this doctrine change important? Not only is it heretical, it would serve as a step toward ecumenism.
UFO Disclosure
The Disclosure Project is an organization started by Steven M. Greer in 1993 that alleges the existence of a US government cover-up of information relating to unidentified flying objects (UFOs). The Project has adopted Greer's contention that UFOs are spacecraft piloted by intelligent extraterrestrial life, and that the United States government is keeping this secret. Greer also uses the project to disseminate his beliefs that the government has concealed advanced energy technologies obtained from the extraterrestrials by suppressing and hiding them in top secret "black projects" in order not to upset the global geo-political power and energy-sector financial status-quo and its oil industry "special interests."
In this clip from YouTube: According to Dr. Rosin, von Braun, who was formerly the head of the Nazi rocket program, gave her one supreme assignment: He said a secretive trans-national power, already in existence, would move to permanently take control of this planet through a hoaxed alien invasion from outer space.
(YouTube link)
As I was trying to locate a good clip on Greer, he mentioned that his uncle designed the first lunar module that landed on the moon, Laurence Rockefeller, who gave him the information on UFOs. After about an hour of research, the only association a Rockefeller had with the lunar projects was funding. His uncle may be the Laurence Rockefeller, the financier, who established the UFO Disclosure Initiative to the Clinton White House. They asked for all UFO information held by the government, including from the CIA and the US Air Force, to be declassified and released to the public. [3]
Within the following two YouTube clips, I believe Greer exposes himself with his agenda...to collapse all religions of the world, and usher in the world government.
On the first clip, Greer exposes his desire to see the religions of the world collapse.

114 years of Red Cross experience

L to R. Jerry Talbot. former head of IFRC Asia and Pacific Dept, Alistair Henley, Director, Asia Pacific Zone, IFRC, and Bob McKerrow Head of delegation IFRC, Indonesia. Photo: Jason Smith
A few weeks back I was in our Asia and Pacific zone office in Kuala Lumpur and met up with Alistair Henley and Jerry Talbot, and at the farewell for Peter Lundberg I spied Jerry and Alistair together. I did some quick calculations and said to Jason Smith our communications expert, "there is at least 114 years experience among the three of us." Jason rushed off and grabbed his camera, and took this shot.
A little more about these two dedicated Red Cross workers.
Alistair Henley has worked with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies since 1981. He is currently Director, Asia Pacific Zone responsible for managing the IFRC’s operations and general activities in the entire Asia Pacific region from the Zone Office set up in July 2007 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Before that he was Head of the East Asia Regional Delegation based in Beijing from 2003 to 2007. He served as Director of the Development Cooperation Department in Geneva from 1995 to 2000 and Head of the Coordination Department from 2000 to 2003. In these 2 posts he worked with donors to build up support for the Federation’s National Society capacity building goals and longer term programme appeals. This is one of many of Alistair's strengths, his ability to inspire confidence in donors and to negotiate long term funding. When I worked in Afghanistan, Alistair did sterling work in promoting our work and ensuring we got adequate funding.
Between 1989 and 1993 he headed the Regional Delegation for Southern Africa in Harare, and worked as a desk officer in the Asia Pacific and Africa departments of the IFRC (1981 to 1989). He started his Red Cross career with the British Red Cross Society in London (1978-1981).
He holds a Master’s degree in East Asian studies from the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. Alistair's grandfather and grandmother were amazing people who worked in what is today's Georgia and Azerbijan from about 1906 up until the collapse of Czarist Russia. He has a stunning collection of his grandparent's photos which is a real treasure.
Alistair has a encylopedic knowledge of the Red Cross and Red Crescent movement and had the unenviable task in decentralising the leadership of our Asia and Pacific department from Geneva, to Kuala Lumpur, a task he has done with great verve and aplomb.
Jerry Talbot retired on Monday, 31 March 2009, after 42 years uninterrupted service to Red Cross. Jerry Talbot the former special representative to the secretary general for the tsunami operation of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, was an outstanding leader, with excellent vision, who took a long-range perspective on the big things and was able to develop concepts. He focused on people and inspired trust in all he met. He was gifted with a strong intellect and made a huge contribution for over 40 years to global humanity.
Bill Clinton with his arm round Jerry Talbot on the far left, when Clinton visited the Maldives.
Jerry comes from a large family who still farm In Onga Onga in the Hawkes Bay.
Not surprisingly with his farming background, his second assignment for the New Zealand Red Cross in 1969 was taking some bulls for breeding in Western Samoa. I often joked with him that he was an impressive bull-shipper. The year before that, he spent one year in Vietnam working on livelihoods programmes for displaced people. For 14 years he was Secretary of the New Zealand Red Cross and under his leadership, it developed into a very well functioning organisation. Next he moved to Geneva in 1990 where he became head of the Asia Pacific Region for the IFRC. Jerry is married to Jen, a very lively and intelligent women, and the have three married sons.
During his Red Cross career he spent time helping his sister run the family farm and when possible, he would slip off to a quiet stream or river, where he indulged in fly fishing. There, like on Thoreau's Walden Pond, Jerry would reflect on the troubled world and come back more motivated to change the world.
In January 2005. Jerry moved to the Maldive Islands where the IFRC built thousands of houses, put in new water supplies, restored livelihoods and assisted many thousands of families. One on the greatest tributes to Jerry Talbot is through his leadership and vision on Dhuvaafaru Island in Raa Atoll, where the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) has created new homes for more than 3,700 people who were displaced from their original island after the Indian ocean tsunami struck in 2004.

So that's a bit of a ramble about Alistair and Jerry, (pictured above) two guys I have come to admire greatly over the years.

Haunting memories from Vietnam

Hòa thượng Thích Quảng Đức was a Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhist monk who burned himself to death at a busy Saigon road intersection on 11 June 1963. Thích Quảng Đức was protesting against the persecution of Buddhists by South Vietnam's Ngô Đình Diệm administration. Photos of his self-immolation were circulated widely across the world and brought attention to the policies of the Diệm regime. Malcolm Browne won a Pulitzer Prize for his iconic photo of the monk's death, as did David Halberstam for his written account. After his death, his body was re-cremated, but his heart remained intact. This was interpreted as a symbol of compassion and led Buddhists to revere him as a bodhisattva, heightening the impact of his death on the public psyche.
I worked in Vietnam throughout 1971 with a Red Cross refugee welfare team in Binh Dinh province, and came back in 1973-74 for a further year working for New Zealand Red Cross IDP team in Pleiku, and saw a huge amount of war, suffering and hardship. Then in 1975, a huge tragedy occured when my best friend, Mac Riding, who replaced me as leader of a New Zealand Red Cross team, was killed when an Air Vietnam was shot down by North Vietnames troops in Pleiku. I travelled from Geneva to Saigon to try and locate the body and left a few days before the fall or liberation of Saigon. Death, destruction, exploitation, maiming, napalm, defoliants such as Agent Orange, are images that stick in my mind.
But of all the images taken during the Vietnam war, two I will never forget. The one of Hòa thượng Thích Quảng Đức, The Buddhist monk who set fire to himself. and Kim Phoc the young Vietnames girl running naked screaming with pain as napalm

The photo of Kim Phoc in the centre, has haunted me for many years.
An article on a BBC website this week brought back a flood of memories of my years in South Vietnam.
In 1971 I worked for the Red Cross for the first time and was right in middle of the South Vietnamese Army and the US forces dropping napalm and agent orange and other defoliants. Scorched jungles and villages fried by napalm and agent orange, are some of the memories that come back to me when I am sleeping.
Kim Phuc, the Vietnamese girl in one of the unforgettable images of the Vietnam War , has been reunited by the BBC with Christopher Wain, the ITN correspondent who helped save her life 38 years ago.
When Chris last saw Kim, she was lying on a hospital bed with first-degree burns to more than half of her body, after a South Vietnamese napalm bomb attack.
It was 8 June 1972 and Chris and his crew had been in Vietnam for seven weeks, covering the conflict for ITN.
I found our reunion much more moving than I'd anticipated... Kim was quite emotionally charged, and that's catching
Christopher Wain
He remembers the day clearly: "That morning we'd arrived at the village of Trang Bang, which had been infiltrated by the North Vietnamese two days earlier. They were dug in, awaiting a counter-attack.
"In the late morning, two vintage Vietnamese bombers started to circle overhead - this wasn't anything unusual, but because we had been into the village we knew something was going wrong."
Many of the villagers had already fled to the shelter of a temple, among them nine-year-old Kim.
"We thought this would be a safe place - but then I saw the plane - it got so close," she remembers.
"I heard the noise of the bombs then suddenly I saw the fire everywhere around me.
"I was terrified and I ran out of the fire. I saw my brother and my cousin. We just kept running. My clothes were burnt off by the fire."
Chris and his crew were about 400m from the point where the four canisters of napalm had exploded.
"There was a blast of heat which felt like someone had opened the door of an oven. Then we saw Kim and the rest of the children. None of them were making any sound at all - until they saw the adults. Then they started to scream."
Lasting memory
A Vietnamese photographer, Nick Ut, was also covering events in South Vietnam that day.
As Kim ran down the road, her arms outstretched and screaming for help, he took what is now seen as one of the most memorable images of the Vietnam War.
She was still running when Chris stopped her and poured water over her, while directing his crew to record the terrible scenes.
Chris helps Kim as the horrific scenes are captured on film
"We were short of film and my cameraman, the late, great Alan Downes, was worried that I was asking him to waste precious film shooting horrific pictures which were too awful to use. My attitude was that we needed to show what it was like, and to their lasting credit, ITN ran the shots."
Nick took Kim to the nearest hospital, the US-run Saigon First Children's Hospital. Shortly afterwards, his photograph and the film footage appeared all over the Western media.
One result was that everyone wanted to know what had happened to the little girl.
It was Chris who found Kim the following Sunday, in a small room at the British hospital.
"I asked a nurse how she was and she said she would die tomorrow," he says. So he got her moved to a specialist plastic surgery hospital, for life-saving treatment.
Kim stayed in hospital for 14 months and went through 17 operations, remaining in constant pain to this day.
Her image became a lasting memory for a generation - but the little girl herself disappeared from public view.
Powerful gift
Then, 10 years later, a journalist from Germany tracked Kim down.
She was at university studying medicine but the Vietnamese government cut short her studies and ordered her back to her village to be filmed and interviewed. She was now a propaganda tool.
Even when she succeeded in resuming her studies, this time in Cuba, she was still expected to fulfil her duties as a "symbol of war".I realised I have a powerful gift... now that I have freedom I can control that picture
Kim Phuc
It was at Havana University that she met Toan, a fellow student from Vietnam. They married and took a honeymoon in Russia, which provided them with a unique opportunity to flee to Canada.
"I heard rumours that a lot of Cuban students stay in Canada on the way back from Moscow, when the plane stops to refuel. By doing this I was finally able to gain my freedom."
Kim settled down to a peaceful and anonymous life in Canada with her husband and two children, but in 1995 she was traced by another journalist and the picture was splashed across the front page of the Toronto Sun.
"I wanted to escape the picture because the more famous it got, the more it cost me my private life. It seemed to me that my picture would not let me go," she says.
However, the realisation came to her she did not have to remain an unwilling victim. The photo was, in fact, a powerful gift that she could use to help promote peace.
"I realised that now that I have freedom and am in a free country, I can take control of that picture," she says.
'Impressive woman'
This idea led her to establish the Kim Phuc Foundation, which provides medical and psychological assistance to child victims of war.
Chris continued with ITN for another three years as defence correspondent, covering amongst other things the Yom Kippur War and the invasion of Cyprus. Later he moved to the BBC.
He retired in 1999 and never expected to see Kim again.
"At the time, it was just another story, though an appalling one. It was certainly the worst thing I ever saw.
"Later, when interest was rekindled, I felt that Kim was being used. That was why 10 years ago I declined a proposed on-screen reunion with her on the Oprah Winfrey Show - it sounded exploitative."
Now, having met Kim, he's changed his mind, and no longer thinks of her as a victim of that picture.
"Despite everything that has happened to her, and all she's endured, she's become a very impressive woman."
Thanks to the BBC for permission to reproduce the story on Kim Phuc and Christopher Wain.

It's "Piss Poor !" and "I am Dirt Poor."
Here are some facts starting about 1500 AD.
They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot and; then once a day it was taken and sold to the tannery....... if you had to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor".
But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot...........they "didn't have a pot to piss in" and were the lowest of the low.
Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by June.
However,since they were starting to smell . .. .brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.
Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it.
Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water!"
Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no ceiling underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof.
When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."
There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house.
This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed.
Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some
protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.
The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt.
Hence the saying, "Dirt poor."
The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing.
As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way.
Hence: a thresh hold.
(Getting quite an education, aren't you?)
In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire.
Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day.
Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while.
Hence the rhyme: Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old.
Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special.
When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It
was a sign of wealth that a man could, "bring home the bacon."
They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and chew the fat.
Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.
Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the
upper crust.
Lead cups were used to drink ale or whiskey. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial.
They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up.
Hence the custom of holding a wake.
England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people.
So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffinswere found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell.
Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, saved by the bell or was considered a dead ringer...
And that's the truth...
OK, you may thing it's a piss poor attempt but I tried.
Now, whoever said History was boring ! ! !

Aquarius: The Age of Evil
The movie is long, so you may want to view it over a few days time. This is disturbing.
(YouTube link) (Part 1/14)
The Future New World - The Zeitgeist Venus Project
There is a utopia being produced by the Zeitgeist (New Age) movement that is being sold as the way of the future, and it will be the solution to save the environment, prevent wars, and make a generally advanced way to live on this planet. In this Brave New World, it will have everything any human would ever want.
(YouTube link) (Part 6/14) Please view the first 1 1/2 minutes of this YouTube)
There is an architectural plan and program that is taking place right now. They try to convince the viewer that a resource-based economy, instead of a consumer-driven (profit-driven) economy, is a more superior and practical way to go. They try to convince you that it will be a better way to live on this planet - but the plan isn't what it proposes to be. Note the lies that are being mixed in with the truth. This is purely propaganda.
(YouTube link)(Part 3/4)
(YouTube link) (Part 4/4)
The year 2012 will be the start of a new New Age era - the Age of Aquarius one-world system. The people of the world will be asked to think differently and be accepting of the New World Order. It will be hard to determine what the world powers have planned to help us be convinced of this new way of life,but I assure you that Jesus Christ is part of what will be left behind as being part of the old ways.
For more info on the project, watch this.

Vlad the Impaler - Illuminati Bloodlines
A while ago, I viewed a CBS report on George Bush's genealogy, and how he was related to Vlad the Impaler. I never knew who Vlad the Impaler was, so I never looked into it. After watching a program devoted to Vlad featured on "Cities of the Underground," it confirms a lot of the talk bloodline talk the conspiracy people are talking about.
(YouTube link Part 1)
It seems that old Vlad was a blood-thirsty killer, who loved to torture and was responsible for mass murder. He was also known as Dracula, and was born in Romania, in the year 1431. Dracula got his name from his father, who was the member of an elite society called "Order of the Dragon." It was an illusive society founded by the Holy Roman emperor. [1] [2]
The name Dracula literally means "Son of the Devil."(07:15 on the counter)
The ironic thing is that Bush and Obama are also a relatives of Princess Diana, and in other records they are related to Prince Charles. Princess Diana was not a commoner as some would lead you to believe. Her ancestors were also elitists who were also Rosicrucian. It was the home of her ancestor that Sir Francis Bacon and his buddies would plan The New Atlantis, which was a vision of a new world order. The possibilities of young Prince William being the Antichrist appears to be strengthening!
As a side-note, Infowars.com had a breakdown of President Bush's genealogy, and Sarah Palin was in it. She may want to give the impression that she's a fresh sweet-face of the little town of Wasilla, but she's no different than the rest of the elites.
It's hard to believe that pretty face was morphed from a reptile!" Sarah Palin’s pedigree “shares ancestor John Lathrop with presidents Ulysses S. Grant, Franklin D. Roosevelt and both Bush presidents…Revolutionary War traitor Benedict Arnold, (and) the list (also) includes Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon religion, poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Dr. Benjamin Spock, financier John Pierpoint Morgan and the original fuller brush man, Alfred Fuller…Tumbling out of the list of politicians who descend from Lathrop are Adlai Stevenson, John Foster Dulles, Thomas Dewey and presidential hopeful Mitt Romney.”Sarah Palin, according to Rosemary E. Bachelor, is also “a 12th cousin of John McCain and descends from Simon Newcomb of Edgarton, MA and Lebanon, CT, as do both Bush presidents …President Bush, Barack Obama and Sarah Palin all descend from Samuel and Sarah (Soule) Hinckley, (whose) son Thomas Hinckley (1618-1706), held several governmental posts in the Plymouth Colony and served as its last governor from 1681 to 1692.” [3]
From Agence Global :
Rand Paul says, "I would have voted no on the Iraq War." He also says, in a video posted prominently on his campaign website, that he'll push for formal declarations, with House and Senate votes, before the launch even of wars he might favor. He says that while national defense is the top responsibility of government, conservatives who are serious about reducing waste must be wary of the excesses of the military-industrial complex. Add on criticisms of the Patriot Act and a willingness to cross partisan lines, and you can see why Rand Paul gets Cheney's goat.The NeoCon-controlled Republicans are terrified now of The Tea Party, and they're decidedly nervous that Ron Paul could become the movement's leader. Sarah Palin as a leader of the Tea Party, they could handle her, and through her, most of the movement. But Rand Paul is something else altogether, and much closer to the roots of the Tea Party.
What really troubles Cheney and his circle, according to the Cato Institute's David Boaz, is the prospect that a Paul win would begin to crack the false facade of party unity on military intervention. "That's an issue the GOP establishment doesn't want an open debate on," says Boaz, who suggests the neocons "desperately fear that [electing] a conservative anti-interventionist leader on foreign policy just might reveal that a lot of Republicans and conservatives...don't buy the world-policeman foreign policy the Bush/Cheney administration imposed on the GOP."
Sharia Law & Catholic Canon Law - Part 2
The Sharia extends beyond what Westerners consider law. Sharia deals with many topics addressed by secular law, including crime, politics and economics, as well as personal matters such as sexuality, hygiene, diet, prayer and fasting, dietary matters, games, marriage and divorce, customs and behavior, and dress codes. It is applied by Islamic judges. [1]
Canon law is the body of laws and regulations made by or adopted by ecclesiastical authority, for the government of the Christian organization and its members. It is the internal ecclesiastical law governing the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches, and the Anglican Communion of churches. The way that such church law is legislated, interpreted and at times adjudicated varies widely among these three bodies of churches. In all three traditions, a canon was initially a rule adopted by an early ecumenical council; these canons formed the foundation of canon law.
In the Orthodox Church, these laws are to be obeyed rather than to be treated as guidelines, since they are essential for the Church's unity. However under other mainline U.S. denominations, they still function under their own private systems of canon law. Each establishes its own system of church order and discipline. [2]
At the heart of the American legal system, it is fundamentally different than that of Muslim countries. Since we have separation of church and state, we are considered a secular state. However, a theocracy is a form of government in which a God or a deity is recognized as the supreme civil ruler, such as Muslim countries and their legal system.
Canon Law Unleashed
In a Socialist or Communist country, a state religion (or established church) is religious body officially endorsed by the state. In some jurisdictions, this means that they operate legal systems of their own or play a part in the legal system of those governments. Canon is one such sort of legal system; it was administered in ecclesiastical courts. Unlike courts of common law tradition, ecclesiastical tribunals do not follow the adversarial system. Based on the same Roman civil law that is behind much European law, the procedure of a canonical court is more akin to the inquisitorial system, with the judges leading the investigation. [3]
There is also a difference between a "state church" and "state religion." A "state church" is created by the state, as in the cases of the Anglican Church, created by Henry VIII. An example of "state religion" is Argentina's acceptance of Roman Catholicism as its religion. In the case of the state church, the state has absolute control over the church, but in the case of the state religion, the Vatican has control over the church. As for the final one-world religion, I suggest that it will be a state church. [4]
The Archbishop of Canterbury's decision to announce the feasibility of functioning under Sharia Law is radical, and it gets the wheels moving for government control of the one-world religion. Some may think that I'm blowing this out of perspective, but it is a foot in the door.

JOHN FIRE LAME DEER COMMENTING ON THE ELECTION RESULTS.

"Before our white brothers arrived to make us civilized men, we didn't have any kind of prison. Because of this, we had no delinquents. Without a prison, there can be no delinquents. We had no locks or keys and therefore among us there were no thieves.
When someone was so poor that he couldn't afford a horse, a tent or a blanket, he would, in that case, receive it all as a gift. We were too uncivilized to give great importance to private property.
We didn't know any kind of money and consequently, the value of a human being was not determined by his wealth. We had no written laws laid down, no lawyers, no politicians, therefore we were not able to cheat and swindle one another.
We were really in bad shape before the white men arrived, and I don't know how to explain how we were able to manage without these fundamental things that....so they tell us....are so necessary for a civilized society."
Last August, was a cartoon joke :

Not anymore, now The Weekly Standard portrays President Obama as a looming, threatening overseer.
