So…I flipped on cspan.org.  Loretta Lynch is testifying about the Apple case.  Dianne Feinstein was doing her best to couch the breaking of Fourth Amendment rights to get at the phone of the non-terrorists of the *cough*  San Bernardino terrorist non-attack by crisis actors.  While I’m watching, this guy behind her to her left catches my eye.

As I watched him, he is constantly looking around the room.  He’s got an ear piece in, too.  I guess he could be secret service detail, but something just struck me about him and it wasn’t a good feeling.

I mean, we take for granted that he is secret service and go on about our business.

But with all the politicians ending up with black eyes and broken noses…somebody is not protecting them.  What if this guy is an Israeli agent?  Or some other agent there to make sure Lynch doesn’t step out of line?  As I was watching just moments ago, as she was talking, he got this look on his face that he disliked what she was saying…

Again, this is just me talking…but something is not right here.

**edited:  I replaced “First” Amendment with “Fourth” Amendment.  So many violations of the Constitution…so little time…

 

So…I went to check in at the geoengineeringwatch.org site, and found a commenter left a quote by Paul Craig Roberts.  He asserts that the economy is more of a threat than terrorists….so I went to Roberts’ website and found a compelling article on electronic banking.  All of my worst fears of cyber-funds are voiced by Roberts.  Keep in mind that Roberts is not a “libtard” as some uncharitable folks have called them, but a conservative whom has had his eyes opened.

From the report:

The response of depositors to negative interest rates has resulted in neoliberal economists, such as Larry Summers, calling for the elimination of large denomination bank notes in order to make it difficult for people to keep their cash balances outside of banks.

In the electronic world, control of your money is given to banks.  As we saw recently with Dr. Tracy, paypal froze his account for no reason at all.  They claimed the “nature of your activities” was reason enough for them to withhold HIS money.

Electronic money cannot be removed from bank deposits except by spending it. With electronic money as the only money, financial institutions can use negative interest rates in order to steal the savings of their depositors.

…and there we go.  Remember when people used to rob banks?  Now banks robbed people.

What this picture shows is that government, economists, and presstitutes are allied against citizens achieving any financial independence from personal saving.

Exactly.  I explored this with Indiana’s treatment of food stamp recipients.  They would start taking away food stamp dollars for every $100 a person made in A MONTH.  That money would pay for gas to even get to work, for extra food (because believe me, it is not enough money for an entire month of food), for haircuts, for necessary items like soap, detergent, trash bags (I saw folks so poor that they were using the plastic grocery bags for their trash), and for other items needed for every day life.

My blogs on food stamps here — a professor on food stamps,  and here — the faces behind food stamps,  here — war on the poor with a judge’s indifference, and here.

Throughout the Western world the financial system has become an exploiter of the people and a deadweight loss on economies. There are only two possible solutions. One is to break the large banks up into smaller and local entities such as existed prior to the concentration that deregulation fostered. The other is to nationalize them and operate them solely in the interest of the general welfare of the population.

I would say that there is a third and possible fourth option:  1. Bartering.  Doing away with currency altogether.  2. Either continue to use paper currency, or as some communities did during the Depression, they made up their own currency and traded it like dollars until the banks relented.   Doing a quick research, I found this:  Berkshares — a created currency.

I love this:

BerkShares are printed in 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 BerkShare denominations, and feature images of local people.

• The 1 BerkShare note uses a portrait of a Mahican, the original inhabitants of the area.
• The 5 BerkShare note uses a portrait of W. E. B. Du Bois, a civil rights leader born in Great Barrington.
• The 10 BerkShare note uses a portrait of Robyn Van En, co-founder of the community supported agriculture movement at Indian Line Farm in South Egremont, Massachusetts, died in 1997.
• The 20 BerkShare note uses a portrait of Herman Melville, the author of Moby-Dick, written in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
• The 50 BerkShare note uses a portrait of Norman Rockwell, a painter who lived in Stockbridge, Massachusetts

This has more benefits than just being independent as hell, but that it seeks to make a more sustainable economic impact by limiting truck traffic via local purchasing.

Treehugger also has a piece up on local currency.

With all the dire news on the economic collapse, I think it’s important to realize all is not lost and there are options …don’t give in to fear, but see it as an opportunity to break away from the Big Banks’ chokehold on the economy.  If they don’t have any power, they no longer can rule.  We need to learn to take back our power.

Personally, of all of these, I like bartering the best.  I think money no longer holds a true value of the hours of labor it took to earn that dollar.  Bartering has that quality…BUT I recall that when this was done, there are those that were taken advantage of and so that could also mean not getting the true value of one’s labor.  As I write that, I’m thinking of women’s efforts…like sewing and knitting.  Today, as well as then, women were not given the true value of their labor.  Without machines, it took much longer to create a garment.  Even now, a machine cannot create. It cannot put pieces of material together without a human doing the actual physical act of putting piece A with piece B, and so on.  It’s always been valued less than men’s work.

So…unless economies and creation of currency have women’s input — and by saying that, I mean women who would do the actual work –then there won’t be a true representation of labor efforts.  Women need to be a part of the discussion.

 

 

 

I’ve mentioned before that I had this terrible feeling that the extended school days were a way to pull kids away from their parents — keeping kids in school until 5:00, a very long day for them — and essentially breaking up families.  They no sooner get home, and have to do homework.  If they are involved in after school sports, with the added time for homework, they essentially have no down time with their parents.  No time to just sit and think.

The child would be on a bus two hours before school.  No time for breakfast….so the school would provide one.  This also applies for smaller communities that don’t have that bus time, but nevertheless, the parents are poor and cannot afford to feed their own children healthy, nutritious breakfasts.  This was one of my pet peeves when working as a substitute — kids would be sooo hungry by 10:00 a.m. that they could not concentrate on their schoolwork.  It upset me that parents were either too poor to feed them, or they were so rushed because they had jobs to get to that the child went without breakfast.

And when I see programs for breakfasts for kids…I think “why aren’t they paying parents enough so they can afford to feed their children…?

In the 60s and 70s, with a stay-at-home Mom, kids got breakfast and most households could afford the basics.  The importance of this becomes more and more apparent as I see the fabric of society tearing.  I see the kids being put in childcare before they can even speak.  They are handed over to adults whose only connection is the paycheck they get each week from the parent.  This is not their child, so their involvement stops at there.  Nobody is going to care for one’s child more than a parent. I’ve seen horror stories of childcare workers bullying children and even pitting children against one another for their own entertainment.

The stay-at-home Moms also have a chance to really get to know their child.  I wonder now at young Moms who are rushed in the mornings to get to a job, rushed at night to get dinner on (or worse, pop something in the microwave that is not nutritious and introducing radiation into the home); and not really having a chance to understand their child and the child’s unique pace of development.

So…this morning, I’m watching the Weather Channel, which sidesteps chemtrails/geoengineering, but will go on and on about tornadoes, floods, and earthquakes.  During this segment, they were talking about whether a child should be sent home during a tornado warning.

Now, that in itself seems pretty normal.

But what was not normal was how they were talking –my Communications ears perked up at the language.

They said things like “perhaps the child does not have a safe home to go to…”

Say what?

They also said things like the school should determine whether the school was safer than the child’s home.

They insinuated that they knew better than the child’s parents.  And that they were construction engineers that would determine the safety of the child’s home.  Yep.

And the school that was flattened in Oklahoma a few years ago flashed in my head.

There is no way that they could tell whether a child is safer at home or at the school.  A tornado is so powerful and so unpredictable that there are countless stories of tornadoes flattening one building while leaving the one right next to it untouched.  One cannot say with certainty that a person is safer in one building than another.  And the Weather Channel itself glorifies those storm chasers who will be right next to a tornado, out in the open…and survive.  Hmmm…

So…that begs the question of why they are now trying to say a school will determine whether a child is safer at school than at home.  That is a parent’s right to decide.  I got that sick feeling in my gut about this…

 

I went looking for any updates to Dr. Jeffrey Bradstreet’s murder.  Nothing from his family’s personal investigation…and *crickets* from the police regarding their investigation.

However, I found the video below that opened more avenues of people apparently being bumped off…including bankers.  Stories on that here with a dead banker found dead in a bathtub with a slashed throat, here with comments on economies around the world collapsing, and here with a list of all of them. Another webpage view here.

There was a young banker who died a year ago in a plane crash.  I cannot remember his name, only that he was young and again, was a banker who died under circumstances that should warrant an investigation.  I vaguely remember that his plane did a nose dive.  And that it was carried on the financial channel, but not on the nightly nooz.

The other death that should raise a hundred red flags is the nurse practitioner Paige Adams who actually told others that if she died, not to assume anything.  She was associated with Dr. Jeffrey Bradstreet — another huge flag.

—————————

They also mention biologists associated with biowarfare.  Bruce Ivins popped into my head.  John “Jack” Wheeler.  God only knows who else….

 

Lenny P. Ozner…? I certainly hope the police are taking this seriously. It is unsettling that some of the people involved in this cover-up ARE the police…can you say Nazi Germany? I knew that you could.

The non-threat of Zika virus and the lame media creating hysteria where there is nothing there. Rappaport states that Zika has been around for thousands of years…that would mean that we mostly have immunity to it. And he also states that the virus is mild…one hardly knows they have it. The biggest part of the story is the failure by the health *authorities* to link it to small head development. As Rappaport states, it is more likely the result of a) aggressive vaccination programs; b) the dumping of huge amounts of pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers into the soil, and water, and toxins in the air that have direct correlation to the infants’ small head. But you won’t hear about that from the media…

You know, when Jimmy Fallon badly injured his hand, I didn’t quite buy what the reason was…and now as I saw him on TV, the injury flashed in my head.  I had the feeling at the time that there was more to it — like it was a mob hit.  Or rather, a mob “warning”.  I don’t have anything to back that up with–just something that popped in my head.

Other injuries under curious circumstances were John Kerry.

Jim Fetzer and Kevin Barrett talk about the suspicious circumstances here (a side note that Kevin makes the statement that they “are following the law so that they will leave us alone and not jam us…”   Just want to say that going along to get along is not going to save you — the Cherokees tried that.  They adopted many white ways and they were still pushed out of the Carolinas.  Barrett and Fetzer go on to explain — talking about when the British PM made the statement that even if folks are following the law, the authorities can still pick them up.  Just wanted to note that.):

 

——————

(Again, I don’t agree with Jim Fetzer’s take on the Holocaust.  )

 

John Kerry is mentioned around 27:00, if you want to skip the first part.  I would recommend all of it, however, because of the context and variety of topics covered.

A report here, on the suspicious circumstances of Kerry’s disappearance.

More details here.

John Kerry suffers black eyes and a broken nose, three years prior…and it’s attributed to a hockey game.  I am really having a hard time believing our Secretary of State has had so many mishaps while playing sports.  And TWO black eyes?

When I was in high school, I got slammed in the face with large ball while playing dodge ball.  My nose bled for a half hour.  You would think I would have ended up with black eyes, too, after the trauma to the nose, but I did not.  So, yeah, I’m having a hard time believing this story –especially when combined with the other “accidents”.

And then there’s Harry Reid...more here.

And George W. Bush’s “pretzel” accident…

Again, I had doubts about the  official version of why Bush had a black eye.  Some speculated he was drinking and fell.  I suppose that could be true, but it still just doesn’t ring true for me.  And the fact that there were only a handful of pictures of the incident when there were pages of Reid’s and Kerry’s black eyes….it looks a little too much like it was hushed up.  Perhaps he was tipsy and fell — but will all of these political leaders ending up looking like they got the sh*t beat out of them, it concerns me.

If what I am seeing is true…the question then is….who is doing this…?
