Separate But Equal
Look what Brian Tau of the *WSJ* found when he was at the GOP convention in Cleveland today: You got it: Segregated elevators. Word has it that party bosses are scrambling like hookers on Two-For-One Night taking down these racist signs. They and the Trump campaign are also, as does everyone these days, refusing to comment to the media. We know that a certain white supremacist organization that was responsible for a certain riot in Sacramento had pledged to attend the convention. Perhaps the GOP actually wants them to be there and is just being accommodating to those ... more »
Silent Hell
(By *American Zen*'s @mikeflannigan59, on loan from Ari) *J*ust after midnight last night, Donald Trump was frantically on his phone talking to senior campaign advisors begging for them to give him a way out of his Mike Pence VP pick. Perhaps he didn't like the straw poll results he was getting on Twitter. Pence was even more ridiculed yesterday than Newt Gingrich the day before. Not helping matters was the stupendously stupid, awkward and, frankly, derivative and provocative campaign logo referencing Trump and Pence. Or perhaps, as with John McCain eight years ago, he simply didn't... more »

Apollo Missions Ended Because Extraterrestrials Prevented US Navy Bases on Moon
We are now in the era of death bed testimony and we are picking up a zinger. Legitimate witnesses are confirming that our entry to the moon was met and confronted. Recall that the Navy already had access to gravity technology however primitive which our own work has essentially rediscovered and confirmed. This certainly explains the deliberate development of large gravity control vessels which is an obvious first step as there are less design constraints. This is a development program that has now been afoot since the mid fifties and accelerated with the advent of NASA. ... more »

This whole enterprise is operated at above top secret and without the oversight of the political system, while been funded by the issuance of fiat currency which is easily accounted for and made to disappear from the records.

Ingredient in Cannabis Could help With Alzheimer’s.
Here we actually find a therapeutic application for THC itself. It counteracts the associated toxicity that produces the observed damage. What is then clearly indicated is the ingestion of a THC optimized cannabis juice at a level low enough to avoid actual impairment.

The continuing take home is that cannabis juice in several variations are strongly health supporting and will be part of the human diet. In the end we all need to ingest a da... more »
False Flag Coup: Erdogan's Trick Cost Lives of Thousands, And Empowered ISIS
*An excerpt from, "The "coup" was a fraud?"

Turkey Halts All US Operations Against ISIS From Incirlik Airbase
Movement in and out of the Incirlik airbase in the South of Turkey has been blocked by military authorities following the failed Turkish coup. U.S. military operations out of Turkey’s Incirlik Air Base came to a halt on Saturday afternoon as the Turkish military closed the airspace around the base and suspended all US-led operations targeting ISIS. A message from the the US consulate in Adana said: “Local authorities are denying movements on to and off of Incirlik Air Base. The power there has also been cut” “Please avoid the air base until normal operations have been restored,” it a... more »

ISIS Burns Alive 5 Civilians On Treason Charges
An ISIS village court in the Tal Abta region of Nineveh province in Iraq sentenced five civilians to death on charges of treason. The militant court carried out the sentence using the gruesome execution method of burning alive the convicts into ashes within an iron cage. The militants claim to represent Islam belonging to 1.6 billion Muslims around the world while releasing macabre images of human suffering and death. FNA reports: “The ISIL’s religious court ordered five residents of a village in Tal Abta region in Nineveh province to be burnt alive on spying charges and also for co... more »

"Fake"
I've seen several comments on various sites complaining that the BBC hasn't reported that the killer in Nice shouted "Allahu akbar!" during the massacre. The BBC, however, describes social media reports about the cry as "fake". The article by Rozina Sini of the BBC's UGC and Social News team, ends by saying: The Nice attack provides another example that some people take advantage of tragedy to spread false rumours online. It is an increasing problem for those affected by such events and those searching for the truth.
"But we have to keep an open mind"
Here, for the record, is how BBC news correspondent Christian Fraser reported the latest of the motives of the Nice killer this lunchtime (at 12:08): This is a terrorist act by anyone's definition but it becomes so much more in the eyes of the French people if there is a link with so-called Islamic State. He wasn't known to the intelligence agencies but there were documents and a mobile phone found in the cab of the truck which now form part of the investigation. And he was known to police for theft and for violence against a fellow delivery driver earlier this year. And also ther... more »

Failure of coup: bad news for Turkey, Europe, West
*Coup folks are holding the navy head and frigate, maybe too soon to give up, however* *LHC*: First, a cute excess of the day. In a CMS search for vector-like quarks, there is a 3-sigma \(410\GeV\) top quark excess on page 5, Figure 2d, in decays with electrons. If this bump were real, it's already discovered in the recorded 2016 data. When we woke up in Europe today, we learned about the coup attempt in Turkey. The army, on behalf of the Turkish Peace Council, overtook the country with the immediate goal "to reinstate constitutional order, human rights and freedoms, the rule of la... more »

IS Urged Vehicle-Ramming Attacks In 2014 and they've been used before in France and again and again in Israel - not that you'd know from the BBC coverage of the terrorist attack on Nice
It's interesting, revealing and entirely predictable how the BBC's coverage of the terrorist attack on Nice has minimised coverage of the perpetrator's name and religion but also the precedents for such an attack. It's not that that information isn't well known to those such as I who follow the news impartially. It's also been reported on by Sky News here http://news.sky.com/story/is-urged-vehicle-ramming-attacks-in-2014-10502688 'The so-called Islamic State urged its followers to attack French people with vehicles well before the deadly attack in Nice.

In Wake of Coup Fail In Turkey, Erdogan And His ISIS Gang Will Gain New Confidence
People celebrating Erdogan's hold on power obviously don't know that he has been supporting ISIS in Syria or don't care. Either way it is very sad to see so many people defend a leader with his track record, elected though he may be. It was very telling that the people who came to the streets in response to his call were flashing the fascist Grey Wolves symbol and shouting AllahuAkbar. Clearly, these were highly motivated and trained people, not average citizens. Some of the more absurd commentary on social media even praise this turn of events as a victory for democracy.

From Joe's Vault, May 2011: Bin Laden Isn't Qualified To Be Dead Until Donald Trump Sees The Death Certificate
By Manifesto Joe This May 2, 2011, blog post came to mind recently, as Republicans prepare to anoint birther-in-chief Donald Rump (er, Trump) as their presidential nominee. The question I would ask is: With so much horror happening in the world now, can the U.S. afford to have a neo-fascist buffoon like this man as president? Oh well, here goes, from over five years ago: The problem is, how would we know that it wasn't a fake?

Is "Lesser Of Two Evils" Going To Be Good Enough In November? What Does The Democratic Party Claim To Be Offering?
A new poll from AP/GfK indicates that 33% of Americans would feel afraid if Trump gets elected and 25% would feel afraid if Hillary gets elected. The worse news is that 23% say they will feel afraid if *either* of these two awful candidates gets elected. In other words, just 3 and a half months before election day over half the population would be afraid to wake up and find a President Hillary in the White House and not many more than that would be afraid of waking up and finding a President Trumpy-the-Clown in the White House.

Never mind how often well-meaning people tweet supportive hashtags or candles are lit or British PMs offer to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the French or the First Night of the Proms opens in tribute with *La Marseillaise*, here we are yet again. What are we to do? Meanwhile, this morning's *Today *on Radio 4 laid out the case (through its interviews with a socialist MP, a liberal MP and two security expert... more »
Lorries
Mark Mardell began today's *The World at One *by saying that "a lorry deliberately drove into a crowd". Meanwhile, the changing headline on the main BBC News website report of the latest atrocity in France didn't shy away from pointing the finger of blame firmly where it belongs either (with lorries). Here's how that headline evolved over the course of last night and this morning and early afternoon (in chronological order): Panic in Nice as 'lorry hits crowd' 'Many dead' as lorry hits crowd in Nice Many dead as lorry hits crowd in Nice Nice attack: Many dead as lorry hits crowd A... more »
The Attack In France
Importing the Wahhabiyyah doctrine from Saudi Arabia, invading secular Arab nations based on fabrications, arming terrorist groups like ISIS to wreak havoc in the Middle East, recruiting figures like Bin Laden to create a cult following among naive Muslims, and allowing uncontrolled mass migration have produced disastrous effects for Western countries. But the corrupt governments and sick leaders don't seem to mind at all. They are fine with this situation because it gives them more power and authority. They even encourage, and occasionally stage terror attacks to justify their il... more »
Military Coup Underway In Turkey
There are reports that a military coup is currently underway in Turkey. The Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said that Turkish soldiers have blocked both bridges on the Bosphorus in Istanbul while gunfire has been heard and jets and helicopters are reportedly flying low in the country’s capital Ankara.

The Shameful Pence Episode The Beltway Media Isn't Talking About
There's a dark, ugly chapter in Mike Pence's life that the Beltway media has helped him coverup. I bet Trump doesn't even know about it. Movement conservatives and Hoosiers know who he is but 86% of American voters pretty much never heard of Mike Pence, or at least haven't heard enough about him to have formed an opinion. Starting in 1994 he was a small town Indiana hate talk radio host who referred to himself as "Rush Limbaugh on decaf," which is how he gained visibility and how in 2000, he won a congressional seat after two previous tries. By 2006, the ambitious ideologue was run... more »
The Occult History of the Saturn Death Cult
I stripped the graphics from the text. they can be found through the link. The four ages of man does make some sense. The golden Age likely meant from about 45,000 BC through to the Pleisticene Nonconformity around 11,000 BC or 13000 BP. This took place under management and not independently. Thus the silver age would describe the restoration and implementation of global agriculture again under management from about 10,000 Bc through 5,000 BC. This was then followed by the Bronze Age from around 5,000 BC through 1000 BC. and then followed by our so called Iron age to the pres... more »
The highly advanced and mysterious ancient civilization of the Nok
Do these so called antique civilizations actually fail? The population merely went back to doing what they usually did. what really happens is that the big man no longer orders up statues and other benefits to his greatness. The Big Man role in all complex antique cultures has been hugely underestimated. Yet the evidence is everywhere that it all happens because of one man's wishes. His court then rushes about to execute and be rewarded for doing so. Such societies ends when a new broom sweeps away the old family and the Big Man. A few parasites die and all goes on as be... more »
Germany Slams NATO 'Warmongering'
What the hell is going on here. The absolute last Agency that should be projecting any form of bellicosity is NATO. Yet that appears to be what we are all been promoted into. Stop it already. . There is scant reason to portray Russia as a threat. Promoting just that invites a nasty response all of which promote massive defense spending for no good or sane reason. Strategically NATO needs to create a center of military mass in Romania in order to support activity in Iraq, Syria and the Iranian border while shoring up the Ukraine. Then ladies we need a international border comm... more »
Make the World a Better Place by Completing the Inner Journey
. The Sufi way and the spiritual way are one and the same and can only be perceived internally. Religions actually fail for the most part to share this understanding as it gets in the way of secular influence. It also always seemed too hard to do. Because our spirit bodies are physically real second tier entities operating our third tier bodies this spirituality becomes difficult to be emotionally accepted by our physical cognitive brain through which we interact with our physical environment. Curiously our cognition at the spirit level is essentially machine like while our... more »

"Butterflies..."
"I think humans might be like butterflies; people die every day without many other people knowing about them, seeing their colors, hearing their stories... and when humans are broken, they're like broken butterfly wings; suddenly there are so many beauties that are seen in different ways, so many thoughts and visions and possibilities that form, which couldn't form when the person wasn't broken! So it is not a very sad thing to be broken, after all! It's during the times of being broken, that you have all the opportunities to become things unforgettable! Just like the broken butter... more »

"A Prayer for the World" "Let the rain come and wash away the ancient grudges, the bitter hatreds held and nurtured over generations. Let the rain wash away the memory of the hurt, the neglect. Then let the sun come out and fill the sky with rainbows. Let the warmth of the sun heal us wherever we are broken. Let it burn away the fog so that we can see each other clearly, So that we can see beyond labels, beyond accents, gender or skin color.

"How It Really Is, May God Help Us..."
"I clenched my teeth against the stars. I closed my eyes. I surrendered to sleep. One of the reasons why we crave love, and seek it so desperately, is that love is the only cure for loneliness, and shame, and sorrow. But some feelings sink so deep into the heart that only loneliness can help you find them again. Some truths about yourself are so painful that only shame can help you live with them. And some things are just so sad that only your soul can do the crying for you.” - Gregory David Roberts, "Shantaram" "Hell is empty, and all the devils are here." - William Shalkespeare
"The Darkest Hours..."
"I know the world seems terrifying right now and the future seems bleak. Just remember human beings have always managed to find the greatest strength within themselves during the darkest hours. When faced with the worst horrors the world has to offer, a person either cracks and succumbs to ugliness, or they salvage the inner core of who they are and fight to right wrongs. Never Let hatred, fear, and ignorance get the best of you. Keep bettering yourself so you can make the world around you better, for nothing can improve without the brightest, bravest, kindest, and most imaginative... more »

Theresa May Warns That Terror Attack In UK Is ‘Highly Likely’
Theresa May, Britain’s new Prime Minister, has called an urgent meeting of the government’s emergency COBRA committee. She said that a terror attack in the UK is “highly likely” following Thursdays attack in the French city of Nice which left 84 people dead. RT reports: May says Britain should not expect attacks like those in Belgium, France, and elsewhere could not occur in the UK. “The threat level here in the United Kingdom is already at severe, which means a terrorist attack is highly likely,” she said.

Snake in Grass Offers Russia a Great Deal
*Known Prevaricator Gives 8 Page "Deal" to Russia* Hidden amidst all the media frenzy over the latest false flag initiative...this time in France...is a geopolitical bombshell. The US, with Kerry travelling to Moscow, has presented Russia with an 8 page "deal" to settle the Syrian War. No cc was given to Syria...mind you. Some would call the proposal an ultimatum, given that Kerry has threatened unknown consequences after August 1, 2016 if Syria's democratically elected (by a massive majority) President, Dr. Bashar al-Assad, is not "transitioned" out of power. Of course it is n... more »

Civilian Lives Matter
Will people ever learn to not trust the state and blindly follow its dictates? No matter where you look on the planet the state is the biggest sponsor of terrorism. It is true both in the West and the East, in rich countries and poor countries, in so-called Christian countries and so-called Muslim countries, in so-called democratic free societies like Israel and in closed societies and dictatorships like Iran, Egypt, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia.
