Quick Update: Bird Flu - Iraq Style

Bird Flu has been found in Iraq.

The Real Effect
I am concerned that the flu will 'spread' to U.S. soldiers and contractors and supposedly find it's way back home to the United States. Perhaps I will post later about how the flu has been found to be similar to the much dreaded pandemic 1918 Spanish flu.

Oil Price Increase Coming?

The average price of a gallon of gasoline in the Racine, WI area have been about $2.39 for a decent amount of time here, so now is a great time to reevaluate my predictions for gasoline prices in 2006.

June 15, 2005: With the premier of my blog, I stated -

"This (article from Drudge) combined with the information released from this years Bilderberger meeting stating from multiple sources (Henry Kissinger being one) that crude would at least double perhaps triple over the next year."

At the time I started writing, the price of crude was weighing in at $55 a barrel and has recently hit $69 again. This is slightly lower than the $71 price in wake if hurricane Katrina, but represents an increase of 25% with the most aggressive price increases yet to come.

Now, it is hardly a noble feat to predict a continued increase cost in a bullish market, but I must remind the reader that at the time I predicted this many so-called "experts" were stating that oil prices would either hold or decrease. In addition to that, I was not merely predicting that prices would continue upwards, but would double.

The Real Effect
The upcoming war with Iran seems poised to trigger yet another summer push in crude prices like we have seen for the last several years. In order to achieve the stated goal of doubling crude prices, a drastic push will be needed early. I believe that is coming very soon and that we have already seen the precursors to that push. Look for gas prices to rise to roughly $2.70-$2.85 over the next few months to set the pace for $4 gasoline this summer.

Bin Laden Surfaces

Well, well. We have a new tape from Osama bin Laden and just in time to prompt a response for the situation in Iran.

The Real Effect
I totally do not buy this tape as the timing is way too convenient. Condi Rice comes out stating that the United States is through negotiating with Iran and suddenly bin Laden shows up asking for a truce?

Hmmmm...how to view this tape? I think the following is a very real possibility:

1. The so-called conservative talking heads will claim that because bin Laden wants a truce, the 'Global War on Terror' and the initiative on Iraq is working in spades.
2. Because the 'war' is a success, we must push further.
3. This will provoke a response from the CIA asset bin Laden in which he will claim responsibility for another attack on American soil.
4. This will provide the pretext to extend the war on terror into Iran.

Iran Watch - Analyzing the Rhetoric

Upon reading the news this morning, I came across the following article -

Rice: No Point in More Iran Negotiations

Lately I have not been reading the articles surrounding the Iranian standoff because quite frankly they were all saying the same thing. But this is an important article.

Here the U.S. Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, is signaling that the war effort has reached the next step. So I thought it would be important to analyze some of the key phrases and ideas behind the upcoming war with Iran. But before we even begin to understand the situation properly we must first understand the nuances and beliefs behind those making the decisions.

First, in order to conserve space and time we will start with the assumption that the world is being guided into a global(socialist/communist/totalitarian) government by individuals that lead the nations. There is abundant evidence to reinforce this assumption, however that is a separate argument.

Second, these individuals goal is furthered by empowering the vehicles of this One World Order: the United Nations, International Atomic Energy Agency and International Criminal Court.

Lastly, in order to achieve global rule the idea of individualism or sovereignty must be abolished. This will has started with supposed 'rogue' (what are they rogue from?) nations and is now carrying on to other non-rogue states. In regards to Iran, their supposed 'right' to possess nuclear technology is in question.

Our article starts...

"France, with the support of the United States, rejected Iran's request for more negotiations on the Islamic republic's nuclear program, with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice saying Wednesday "there's not much to talk about" after Iran resumed atomic activities.""

...regarding an upcoming meeting of the IAEA....

"French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin said European nations were seeking the "greatest possible consensus" on dealing with Iran, and the upcoming meeting was a "very important moment."

"Rice said Iran must not be allowed to have a nuclear weapons capability or "to pursue activities that might to a nuclear weapons capability."" "Later, during a speech at Georgetown University, Rice said the international community was united in its belief that Iran "stepped over a line when it broke the seals" at its main uranium enrichment facility and resumed reprocessing nuclear fuel."

"The Iranians want to make this about their rights. It's not about their rights," Rice said. "It's about the ability of the international system to trust them with the capabilities and technologies that could lead to a nuclear weapon."

The Real Effect
Unfortunately Condi, this is about Iran's right to possess nuclear technology. Either a nation possesses this right and is sovereign or it does not. What the globalists are doing is controlling the discussion. By limiting discussion to Iran's compliance to "the international community" they bypass the discussion on the validity of their argument.

Let us suppose that a neighbor of mine was a raging alcoholic that was attempting to purchase a firearm. The neighbor can use the firearm for multiple purposes and his alcoholism has little to do with his right to purchase a firearm. He has committed no crime and it is largely possible that he intends to defend himself with the weapon from a rash of robbers plaguing the neighborhood.

Now, in my quest to deny my neighbor his firearm, I solicit the help of other neighbors and we invoke the mantra of 'safe communities' to justify our desire to deny our neighbor his weapon. Does the presence of more people of like mind justify our position? Do our supposed collective rights and desire for our idealistic 'safe communities' supersede his rights to defend himself? I believe the answer to this is a definitive no.

Under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty that Iran signed, there is no prohibition against nuclear research. Yet, just because Iran might wage war does not justify other countries in their opinion to preempt Iran's sovereign right to engage in peaceful research. Remember, might does not make right. And just as a refresher, let us recall the United States record of so called 'Weapons of Mass Destruction" in Iraq. (Read Devvy Kidd's article Iran, Bush & Communist China)

Consider if you will Bush's call for Global Democracy. He is not speaking of freedom nearly as much as he is speaking of his perception that the majority be able to inflict their will on the minority. Yet in most cases majority is determined not by sheer numbers, but by possession of technology and weapons.

Notice how each successive World War and conflict has increasingly relied on the perceived 'international will'. Bosnia, Kosovo, Serbia, Iraq, the list goes on and on.That my friends is de-facto global government.

In the following months, let us pay attention for an official declaration of war by Congress, I'm assuming that we will not see one but instead will see an informal and unconstitutional (illegal) military action to support the whims of the United Nations.

The Upcoming 'Tagging' Trend

There is disturbing trend in society developing on the back burners of the press and teen 'hip-ness' that should bother all liberty minded individuals. Tagging, chipping, RFID, whatever you might call it, it all boils down to the same basic concept and it communicates to the unwary consumer that 'You are not safe unless you are connected to the system.'

Let's look at just a small section of the compartmentalized programs that are being used to popularize what some could consider 'the mark of the beast' :

• Freemasonry child CHIP program (200,000 ID'd according to MyChip.org)
• U.S. pets including the semi-mandatory Pet Travel Scheme (PETS)
• News from Oakland, CA that in order to own a dog, you are required to have a microchip implanted in your animal. Don't think it's a good idea? "those who donÂ’t comply could be hit with a fine of $100 for a second offense and $1,000 for subsequent infractions."
• Former U.S Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson gets chipped and then joins the Board of Directors
• Tags for Tots
• Sean Hannity stating that he was pro-chipping
• The Mexican Attorney General and 18 of his workers
• US Visit Program
• Hip U.S. trend... (One person's website documenting his chipping)
• Seaworld, Disneyworld, Great America
• Clubs in Baja, Spain

The Real Effect
Does society really want to start tagging people? Are people an asset to manage or do we ...have something to hide (from)? One has only to look at the neighborhood cameras being installed all over in order to realize that for humans it is not a matter of if, but when.

With convenience comes the centralization of power, and with that comes the potential abuse of power. Why do we allow the concentration of so much power into one small resource?
I believe that we are a tad ahead of the curve on this one here and it is difficult to speculate exactly how this will work out, but it would seem that we are about 1 1/2 - 2 years away from a major public relations push to begin to chip EVERYTHING. That would put the push at about late 2007 to 2008. Only time will tell on this one.

New Year Predictions - 2006

Yet another year has passed and we once again find ourselves reviewing what has happened and trying, many times in vain, to predict what will happen in the future. Now the nature of predictions begs that a few things be explained beforehand.

The more specific you are in your prediction, the more likely you will be wrong overall, but gain credibility if you are correct. This causes a bit of a sticky situation for me.

For instance, I can claim that there will be hurricanes in '06, but it hardly takes a genius to figure that out and barely is worth putting finger to keyboard to author. Yet if I claim the stock market will crash on January 22nd and it crashes on the 23rd, I am incorrect, at least to the nature of the timing.

So it is in this framework in which I will strive to be as accurate as possible in my prediction while striving to communicate the nature of what I believe is happening.

YEAR OF THE PHOENIX - Year 2006
While the year 2000 marked the suppose birth of the "Age of Aquarius", I believe that 2006 will be the year that sees the birth of the 'Global Conscience' in the "Year of the Phoenix". In ancient Egypt, the phoenix was a mystical bird that destroyed itself by fire every 500 years in order to rise from the ashes anew. 2005 has seen many images and concepts portraying this concept and I believe it will continue if not culminate in 2006.

It is important to understand why the phoenix is important to attain a "New World Order". Critical to this concept is the idea of sacrifice as nothing important can be obtained without first having one. For instance, in order to usher in the 'Age of Aquarius' of the new millennia a sacrifice needed to be offered.

When you consider the following murders for the past 100 years, their intent becomes disturbingly clear:

• US Abortion (1973-1999) - 40 million
• Chinese Abortion - (1990-1999) 100 million
• Mao Zedong 'Great Leap Forward' - 30 million
• Ottoman Empire Armenian Genocide (1915) - 1.5 million
• Khmer Rouge genocide - 1 million
• World War I - 15 million
• World War II - 50 Million
• Russian Civil War - 5 million
• Soviet Union purges under Lenin - 4 million
• Soviet Union purges under Stalin - 8 million
• Sino-Japanese war (1931-1942) - 10 million
• Afghanistan war (1974-1991) - 1 million
• Sudanese war (1983-2002) - 1 million
• Congo war (1998-2004) - 3.8 million

Just dealing with a bare scraping of some of the major conflicts of the last 100 years gives us a net result of 270 million dead. Somewhere along the line someone forgot to tell these yahoos what the true God of this world wants is self sacrifice. Starting to get the picture?

But in order to truly bring in the "New World Order" a sacrifice of a greater scale is going to be needed. I believe that we have yet to see the global war that will create the supposed level of sacrifice needed to attain this and that a much larger one will be required. However, there is definitely a time table for this and it is running short.

The movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets featured a savior that was a phoenix and the next movie is entitled Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Undoubtedly one of 2006 biggest movies will be X-Men 3 which will feature the savior from X-Men 2, Jean Grey, as the reincarnated Dark Phoenix. It would seem that the populace's mass psyche is being prepared for something. But what?


INTRODUCTION OF 'THE PRINCE' - June 2006
A date that I am sure is getting to get much poo-pooing by the mass media is the quickly approaching 6-6-6 date, June(6), 6, 2006. The reference that is obviously being made here is to St. John's penning of Revelation 13:18 referring to the mark of the beast being 666. Note the movie release planned called "The Beast".

*** The Real Prediction - At this point I believe that much of this is designed to distract and dupe normal people into believing the Christian rhetoric about "the Beast", that is to say the anti-Christ, is nothing more than movie-induced fantasy. Never mind the fact that the prediction was made 2000 years ago.

I believe that if we get the awaited 'Phoenix Transformation' we will catch at least a high profile glimpse of new and an upcoming world leader who will stun the world with his seeming courage, morality and amazing solutions to the world's problems, specifically the issue of what to do with the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

ISRAELI NATIONAL ELECTIONS - March 2006
For those of you that missed it earlier this year, Ariel Sharon (Israel's Prime Minister) formed a new political party named Kadima. This is forcing a new public election that will be held in March.

*** The Real Prediction - This is a difficult nut to crack. I believe that if Sharon runs for the position, he will win. Why? Who knows. The man sold his people out to a group of terrorist thugs in order to achieve peace.

But perhaps the bigger question is will he run if he is having the reported heart problems as a result of his minor stroke? I believe the answer is yes.

THE DOWNFALL OF RELIGION - Winter 2006-2007
The supposed problem behind the terrorist movement is being portrayed as radical 'fundamentalism'. With former Pope John Paul II and now current Pope Benedict XVI calling for a "New World Order"

*** The Real Prediction - With 'radicals' being blamed for most if not all of the terrorist acts in the world, Look for a start of a clarion call to 'harmonize' and 'unite' the world in their common belief in a creator. The problem? It's a set-up for a one-world religion that defies Satan and man.

BILL CLINTON, U.N. CHIEF - February or July 2006
*** The Real Prediction - Despite growing anti-American sentiment worldwide, Clinton's Tsunani and Hurricane relief work help peg him as a 'great humanitarian' and what more fitting a post than the head of the United Nations?

ESCALATING WARS - 2006
*** The Real Prediction - As Iraq-weariness begins to set in, Bush shifts strategy to going after Iran and/or Syria as another 'theater' in the global struggle on terror.

Another possibility is that a total surprise retaliation/attack, Russia attacks Israel but is totally defeated.

Yet on the horizon still looms North Korea and most likely China. Perhaps 2009?

TERRORISM - 2006
*** The Real Prediction - 2005 saw the 777 UK rail bombings and many small terrorist attacks in Bali, Jordan and Iraq. Potential targets include: The Dome on the Rock, Al Aqsa mosque, the Vatican, Chicago's Sears Tower, Italy's 2006 Winter Olympics and Superbowl XV.

AMERICAN DECLINE - 2006
With wars waging at home and abroad, America's global defeat seems imminent.

*** The Real Prediction -
* Economy - A further decline as the housing market continues to cool.

* Government - (Elections in November) - The Republicans will begin to pay for their outspoken arrogance. In representative seats. Watch for fallout from Republican scandal, oil prices, overspending, Constitutional encroachment, war fatigue, and Democratic whining to give the Dems control of the House.

* Immigration - New border wall gets defunded or stalled. Border violence escalates.

* Natural Disasters - Perhaps California will be hit by an earthquake, or the super-volcano will blow. Not so sure about this one. If another disaster happens, you can rest assured FEMA will serve some sort of critical role. (Namely spending money)

* Police State - A continuation of the denegration of the Constitution. RealID is integrated into RFID, CCTV nationwide as we begin to 'not tolerate' a lack of identification. Checkpoints begin to solidify into border controls/anti-terrorism measures.

* Terrorism - With 5 years since 9/11 and 6 years between 9/11 and OKC, the number 11 (years) seems to suggest this could be the year for 'The big one' that we have been hearing about since 9/11.

GAS & CRUDE PRICES - April 2006

*** The Real Prediction - Look for the trend that has been established over the last few years to continue. Gas starts to head upwards as it looks for equalization with overseas markets. Overseas, the price starts heading up to with $6 a gallon in the U.K. and much of Europe and close to if not just over $4 a gallon here in the U.S.

Total Traffic Surveillance in the UK, Coming to the US

Back in 1998, I was trying to convince many of my friends and family that this nation was headed towards a police state. One of the instances that I cited in my continued evidence in this trend was the continual build-up of government closed-circuit television in the United Kingdom that will lead to the same here in the United States. However, it is difficult to connect the dots when all you can see is one, solitary mark, regardless of it's size.

I argued eloquently, yet my comrades refused to see that perhaps these cameras were part of a larger agenda.

"Yes", I argued, "they want to spy on you. They want to follow every movement: your cars, your transactions and yes, even you."
"Suuuuuure" was the response.
"That's not all, they want to put you in camps."

Boy, that was met with an even more conclusive and condemning proclamations.

Well, well. It appears that the tinfoil hat that was ordered for me was a tad bit premature, don't you think? Consider this:

Earlier this year, I reported how the EU was setting up spy satellites for crime. And now comes the news that ALL TRAFFIC will be monitored and recorded in the U.K. Yes, yes friends here are some of the quotes:

"A new national surveillance system will hold the records for at least two years."

"Using a network of cameras that can automatically read every passing number plate, the plan is to build a huge database of vehicle movements so that the police and security services can analyze any journey a driver has made over several years."

"The network will incorporate thousands of existing CCTV cameras which are being converted to read number plates automatically night and day to provide 24/7 coverage of all motorways and main roads, as well as towns, cities, ports and petrol-station forecourts."

Getting the idea? The following is from another article and I think makes a very important point.

"If the police and security services can show that a national surveillance operation based on recording car movements can protect the public against criminals and terrorists, there will be a strong political will to do the same with street cameras designed to monitor the flow of human traffic."

The Real Effect
Well, the global police state is getting close to fully operational. All we are waiting is for another cataclysmic event in the spirit of another 9/11 to supposedly justify the suspension of all rights. Of course the movement will be disguised as an act to protect humanity, but in truth, it will be to further enslave it.

Giant Free Speech Zone In Crawford, TX?

Infowars.com is splashing this breaking news.

"Infowars.com just spoke with Karen Bernal, Volunteer Coordinator at the the Crawford Peace House who confirmed that the arrests began at around 9:30 AM this morning. Hadi Jawad co-founder of the Peace House tells us that 15 people were arrested, including Daniel Ellsberg and Dede Miller, Cindy Sheehan's sister.

Three months ago, McLennan County Texas passed an unconstitutional ordinance banning parking or standing on hundreds of miles of rural roadway. This is the equivalent of a giant free speech ban, mirroring similar freedom destroying free speech zones used across the country to stop protestors from getting information to the media."

The Real Effect
To early to say exactly what is happening, but when former diplomats are being arrested for protesting on a rural public road paid for with our tax dollars, something isn't right.

EU to Set Up Spy Satellites

For your edification, I submit the following.

Earlier this week it was announced that the European Union is setting up it's own set satellites to be used

"in guiding relief work after disasters or providing real time images of forest fires or oil spills."

Riiiiiiight, a multi-billion dollar system to help with forest fires and oil spills. Can we get the truth please?

Known as the "Global Monitoring for Environment and Security" (GMES)" , "...a commission memo also acknowledged that GMES would play a key role in the "implementation, review and monitoring of EU policies", including watching for agriculture and fisheries fraud and boosting "internal security".

The Real Effect
Wow, they aren't hiding their final objectives anymore are they? The GLOBAL Monitoring for Environment and Security. Watch for an increase in centralization of power shifting from the United States to Brussels and the European Union, setting up the scene for the forth-coming global prince. There is a strong chance that we will get a glimpse of him in June of next year, but more on that, later.

Regarding Democracies

Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; have in general been as short in their lives as they are violent in their deaths. ~ James Madison, Federalist Papers (# 10) 4th president of US (1751 - 1836)

FTAA and Paris

The weekend has come, gone and with it, much of the world's sanity and common sense.

In France, the 10th day of rioting by French Muslims has gone by resulting in thousands of cars being torched and massive civil uprising. It would appear that having a large (10%) population that is not being 'melted' into the culture has resulted in a level of "jihad".

In Brazil this weekend to push the American Union, err...I mean free trade, was President Bush.

The Washinton Post, reports the following -

"President Bush challenged Latin American leaders on Sunday to choose between competing visions, one that would ensure social justice through democracy and free enterprise and another that would reverse progress by eroding democratic institutions and heightening fear."

Soooooo, it's the old speech from 9/11, 'if you're not with me, than you're against me.' In addition, by directing the comments at the supposed Venezuela dictator Hugo Chavez, it further polarizes the argument. Why, if you're not with Bush, then you're with Chavez and Fidel Castro.

Now let's do something that we rarely like to do in this sound bite, media driven country. Think.

According to the Post's version of Bush's rhetoric, we get the following:

• There are ONLY two options, that, surprise, surprise are in diametric opposition to one another.
• HIS vision ensures social justice and democracy. (I am reminded of a bumper sticker that I recently saw, "It's a REPUBLIC, George!")
• Not accepting his vision 'heightens FEAR' and erodes democratic institutions.

The Real Effect
Now follow me here.

With regards to immigration and the border, many conservatives talking heads have good takes on much of this information. However, I believe they come up short of realizing the total intent of those that push these machinations of supposed "free trade" upon us.

They view the open American border as a result of spineless inaction on the part of Republicans and cold calculation on the part of Democrats.

I believe the truth is far more insidious. BOTH sides want the border wide open because they create a base/incentive for creating an American Union. This creates the instability needed to usher in 'regulations' needed to control all peoples in all nations. I believe we are starting to see a culmination of this practice taking place in France right now. And we are seeing the same thing occurring in the so-called border war here at home.

This leaves all observers to basically come to a few possible conclusions -

1. Our leaders are inept, if not incapable of doing their constitutional and elected duties and as such should be removed. Immediately.
2. Their intent is less than honorable and they stand benefit financially and politically. They fully intend to sell us out in order to sell us their 'solution'.
