[cia-drugs] Illicit drug mud

We use illicit drugs to pay for world nuclear security.  Power corrupted. 
It is falling apart.  Now something hit the Internet that has many going,
"Oh, s**t."
It is accurate.  It blows apart so many areas of 'defense'.  It is hard to
argue with.  If one would start to, as many do, argue against Aegis, some
would counter. You cannot counter this.  Nothing is said.  Quotes because
it came from someplace.  Does not matter where.

(Quote: from someplace knowledgeable)
“…The Problem With Proliferation: Cruise Missile Edition:
March 2011. The still of the pre-dawn darkness is only slightly disturbed
by the passage of a container ship. Like the many thousands of others like
her plying the ocean’s ways, this one’s cargo is neatly stacked on the
deck — ISO shipping containers in a multitude of colors and shippers
markings. As the fog bank thickens, a radar scope is closely scrutinized
on the bridge. Out here, off the shipping lanes no other merchant traffic
is expected and, it would appear, neither were there any signs of fishing
craft or more troubling, naval or coast guard ships. Earlier in the night
a code had been passed via an internet podcast and confirmed via a secure
webpage. Soon, very soon, part of the ship’s cargo would complete the long
journey begun in Sverdlovsk.
Up forward, locks are removed on two of the containers and a pair of
shadowy figures enter each container. A series of muffled noises from the
interior of the boxes is rapidly followed by their tops falling to one
side and a brace of four tubes quickly rise to the vertical. A minute or
two passes and the quiet is shattered by a series of explosions. From each
tube a long, slender figure emerges atop a cloud of gases.
Bright flames suddenly appear and the forms race off to the far horizon,
away from the sun, still hours away from rising.
NAVSTA Norfolk has been home to US naval aviation ever since Eugene Ely
first flew his fragile, kite-like aircraft off a makeshift platform
mounted on the anchored USS Birmingham. From her roadsted, flattops of the
Essex, Midway, Forrestal, Enterprise and now the Nimitz class sortied to
distant spots on the globe to carry out the missions assigned — presence,
deterrence, and when necessary, the fury unleashed from their decks and
the holds of their escorts reinforced the determination of a free people
to remain free.
On this early morning, Pier 12 is brightly lit in floodlights as the two
Nimitz-class carriers, USS Harry S Truman (CVN 75) and USS Theodore
Roosevelt (CVN 72) complete preparations for an emergency sortie on the
tide. Both had pulled into Norfolk one day prior with their full airwing
complement on board to take on one final round of provisions and the
remainder of their embarked airwing personnel and equipment. Tensions have
dramatically risen in the Gulf over the past few weeks following Iran’s
declaration of nuclear capability. There had been no detonation, and some
were saying it was just a boast – that the Iranians were still years away
from really having the capability for even a couple of weapons. Still,
Israel had attempted a long-range strike only to recall it when the US
threatened to expose the mission. A show of force was in order and to
reinforce the two carrier presence in the Gulf (Eisenhower and Washington
were already there) the Vinson was being turned back from a Hong Kong port
visit and TR with Truman would join her outside the Straits of Hormuz.

After launch, the boosters on the eight 3M54TE1 missiles quickly burnout,
fall off and quieter turbojets take over. Guided by GPS coordinates they
sped along at little over 50 ft above the ocean’s surface, their terminal
homing radar units quiet for now. Back on the container ship, a new course
is plotted, away from the launch scene. As the ship steadies up on an
easterly heading, a series of explosions rip through her keel and below
the waterline. The ship breaks in two, the stern section quickly sliding
beneath the waves. As containers break free and plunge into the sea, the
bow slowly rolls over and begins a long slow descent to the bottom. An oil
slick, some debris and a few containers supported by trapped pockets of
air are all that is left. There are no life boats.
Farther to the west, in the operations center of NORTHCOM/NORAD a watch
officer notes a disturbance and places a report.
“Watch supe, DSP1. I have a multiple IR event, western Atlantic off the
North Carolina coast. Position 36-21 north by 74-24 west.”
“OK…initial analysis?”
“It looks like a possible series of explosions, but there isn’t anything
else – whatever it was happened fast.”
“Roger – initiating conference call” Reaching for the intercom panel,
punches up a series of buttons.
“All stations, NMCC, this is NORTHCOM watch with a multiple IR event
report. At 0807Z DSP1 reported a multiple IR event position 36-21 north
and 074-24 west – request by station report”

Dear Group,
Here are some more degusting links on the increasing pedophiliac scandals

ZetaTalk: Catholic Church
Note: written during the Jul 6, 2002 Live ZetaTalk IRC Session.
The Catholic Church, long in the know about the possibility of the passage, has 
also been making their plans. The Fatima warnings, which they have withheld 
from their flocks, combined with confessions by high level Catholics which were 
relayed to the Pope, have convinced the inner circle around the Pope that this 
is a likely scenario. They have two choices, to:

inform their flocks and go through the distress with their flocks, and 
to save their own skins and emerge as leaders of those left living. 
They have clearly chosen the latter, in that they announced the Fatima warning 
as a planned assassination of the Pope, and are willing to risk the loss of 
membership in the scandals surrounding the priesthood lately, in preference to 
closing the inner circle. Cleansing the church, at this time, would remove too 
many of the inner circle needed for a tight cover-up into the end times. Thus, 
pedophiles are protected, and victims paid off, as the higher priority is 
saving the skins of the inner circle. They will not do this in Rome, likely to 
be a mess of volcanic ash, but will move to a site as yet undecided. Likely 
sites are Africa, in places where the church has dominated the local folk, or 
South America, in countries where they feel an allegiance with the government. 
Their expectations that they will be leaders in the future is of course absurd, 
but arrogance seldom is realistic. They will be on the streets, with those of 
their flock they have abandoned,
 no better off, and not at all able to deal with the situation. Thus, an 
ignominious end, to an ignominious life. 

The Catholic Church is unique in knowledge due to the grip of fear they place 
around those born into the religion. Confession, without which the poor souls 
are told they will burn in hell, is mandatory. Those who state that confessions 
are confidential are lying, as information deemed important to the Pope, to the 
inner circle, to maintaining the wealth of the Catholic church, is passed on. 
Corporate heads, government heads, in confession, are deemed thus, and get 
confession by special priests in many cases. Other religions do not have such 
information inroads. Given the information the Catholic Church gained, who said 
what when, they then had blackmail to learn more, and did gain the information 
they sought. Those giving them the information had their confidence, as they 
had mutual goals:

maintain the wealth, 
maintain control and leadership, 
save their own sorry skins before those they are responsible for, such as the 
flock or the public in the case of governments.

Kissinger cable heightens suspicions about 1976 Operation Condor
killings


   A document suggests the secretary of State rejected warning
South American governments against international terrorism. Five days
later, a bombing linked to Chile killed 2 in Washington.



  By Andrew Zajac  and David S. CloudThe Los Angeles Times






April 11, 2010




  Reporting from Washington












   A newly declassified document has added to long-standing
questions about whether Henry Kissinger, while secretary of State,
halted a U.S. plan to curb a secret program of international
assassinations by South American dictators.

The document, a set
of instructions cabled from Kissinger to his top Latin American deputy,
ended efforts by U.S. diplomats to warn the governments of Chile,
Uruguay and Argentina against involvement in the covert plan known as
Operation Condor, according to Peter Kornbluh, an analyst with the
National Security Archive, a private research organization that
uncovered the document and made it public Saturday.

In the cable,
 dated Sept. 16, 1976, Kissinger rejected delivering a proposed warning
to the government of Uruguay about Condor operations and ordered that
"no further action be taken on this matter" by the State Department.

Five
 days after Kissinger's message, Chilean exile Orlando Letelier and an
American colleague were killed in Washington's Embassy Row in a car
bombing later tied to Chilean secret police working through the Condor
network. The killings are considered one of the most brazen attacks ever
 carried out in the capital.

"The document confirms that it's
Kissinger's complete responsibility for having rescinded a
cease-and-desist order to Condor killers," said Kornbluh, author of a
2004 book on Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.

In a statement,
Kissinger said Kornbluh "distorted" the meaning of the cable and said it
 was intended only to disapprove a specific approach to the Uruguayan
government, not to cancel the plan to issue warnings to other nations in
 the Condor network.

Former State Department officials who
worked under Kissinger during that period now say that his cable did
interrupt the U.S. effort to rein in Operation Condor, not just with
Uruguay but with other countries in the region.

After being told
of the existence of Condor by the CIA in mid-1976, Kissinger initially
ordered U.S. ambassadors in Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and other
countries involved in the network to issue demarches, or formal
diplomatic presentations, warning leaders that "Condor activities would
undermine relations with the United States."

"The instructions
were never rescinded," Kissinger said in his statement.

But it
has been known for many years that U.S. ambassadors to Chile and Uruguay
 balked at delivering the demarches, stalling the effort to head off
Condor. The Uruguayan envoy feared for his own safety, previously
disclosed documents have shown, and U.S. officials were devising a new
way to deliver the U.S. warning to Montevideo.

Kissinger said his
 cable was intended only to delay the delivery of the demarche to
Uruguay, because of "very special circumstances." He apparently was
referring to the Uruguayan ambassador's fears.

However, shortly
after Kissinger's order that "no further action be taken," his top Latin
 America deputies moved to cancel U.S. warnings to other countries as
well. On Sept. 20, then-Assistant Secretary of State for Western
Hemisphere Affairs Harry Shlaudeman told his deputy, William Luers, to
inform U.S. ambassadors in countries involved in Condor not to convey
Washington's concerns about the operation.

The Letelier bombing
occurred the next day.

There is no evidence that Kissinger knew
of the Letelier plot or the specifics of any other assassination plans.
But the delays in issuing the demarches meant Chile apparently received
no high-level U.S. warning about Condor before the bombing.

Shlaudeman
 said in an interview that he had no memory of the cable from Kissinger
or of his own subsequent message to Luers rescinding the orders to make
demarches about Condor. But he acknowledged that the timing and the
similar wording of the two documents were strong evidence that he had
acted on Kissinger's orders.

"I must have sent it because I got
the cable from Henry," he said. "I was carrying out my instructions."

Luers
 acknowledged that the demarches "were not carried out in Chile, Uruguay
 and Argentina before Orlando Letelier's murder."

Letelier served
 as Chilean ambassador to the U.S. and foreign minister in the
administration of Salvador Allende, a democratically elected socialist
president who was deposed by Pinochet in a 1973 coup. At the time of his
 death, Letelier worked at the Institute for Policy Studies, a

[cia-drugs] EXAMINER: Exopolitics researcher develops evidence-based typology of extraterrestrial civilizations

2010-04-12 Thread EXOPOLITICS.COM
Exopolitics researcher develops evidence-based typology of extraterrestrial
civilizations
April 12, 2:23 AMSeattle Exopolitics
ExaminerAlfred
Lambremont Webre



FIG. A Jon Kelly: Chart - Hyperdimensional vehicle vs Perseid meteor

Recent whistleblower, direct witness and documentary evidence have led to
the development of new typology of extraterrestrial civilizations.  The new
typology establishes the following types for extraterrestrial civilizations
and extraterrestrial governance bodies as concerns extraterrestrial law.
The new typology for extraterrestrial civilizations was developed by
Exopolitics author and researcher Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD,
MEdin response to a request by
Oxford
University Press , a department of the University of
Oxford, U.K.

The new evidence-based typological model divides extraterrestrial
civilizations into (A) Extraterrestrial civilizations (3rd dimension), that
is (1) Solar system civilizations (3rd dimension) based in the third
dimension in our solar system, such as the intelligent human civilization
living under the surface of Mars that reportedly enjoys a strategic
relationship with the United States government; and (2) Deep space
civilizations (3rd dimension), that is, intelligent extraterrestrial
civilizations that are based in the third dimension and on a planet, solar
system, or space station in our or another galaxy or in some other location
in this known physical, third dimension universe. (B) Hyper-dimensional
civilizations, that is intelligent civilizations that are based in
dimensions or universes parallel or encompassing our own dimension and that
may use technologically advanced physical form and/or transport when
entering our known dimension or universe.  With regard to extraterrestrial
law and governance, the new extraterrestrial civilizations typology
identifies (C) Extraterrestrial governance authorities: Legally constituted
extraterrestrial governance authorities with jurisdiction over a defined
territory, such as the Milky Way Galactic Federation, which has been
empirically located in replicable research.

Conventional typology  is “the study
of types”, in anthropology a typology is “the division of culture by races,”
in archaeology a typology is “the classification of things according to
their characteristics,” and in psychology a typology is “the classification
of things according to personality types.”

Existing typologies of extraterrestrial civilizations are limited and do not
reflect the manner in which extraterrestrial civilizations exist and are
self-governed in the multi-verse.  The Kardashev scale
typologythat Nikolai
Kardashev and Dr. Michio Kaku have developed is based on “ a
civilization's level of technological advancement,” rather than on the
multi-verse dimension in which the civilization exists, which is a more
fundamental typological, locational and developmental criterion.  The
extraterrestrial
typologydeveloped
by Dr. Michael E. Salla, classifying extraterrestrial
civilizations by race or approximate location and whether they are
“cooperating with or outside earth's Military-Industrial-Extraterrestrial
Complex,” again neglects the dimensional anchoring of extraterrestrial
civilizations. This specific typology appears to be too anthropocentric and
subjective for universal application.

[cia-drugs] bishops fight sex abuse bill, implicated in coverup, complaints 'unpunished'

2010-04-12 Thread smartnews


Connecticut bishops fight sex abuse bill Jamie Guzzardo, CNN April  11, 
2010 Hartford, Connecticut (CNN) -- A bill in Connecticut's legislature that  
would remove the statute of limitations on child sexual abuse cases has 
sparked  a fervent response from the state's Roman Catholic bishops, who 
released 
a  letter to parishioners Saturday imploring them to oppose the  measure.

Under current Connecticut law, sexual abuse victims have 30  years past 
their 18th birthday to file a lawsuit. The proposed change to the law  would 
rescind that statute of limitations.

The proposed change to the law  would put "all Church institutions, 
including your parish, at risk," says the  letter, which was signed by 
Connecticut's three Roman Catholic  bishops.

The letter is posted on the Web site of the Connecticut Catholic  Public 
Affairs Conference, the public policy and advocacy office of  Connecticut's 
Catholic bishops. It asks parishioners to contact their  legislators in 
opposition of the bill.

Ex-St. Catharines bishop implicated in coverup By GRANT LAFLECHE, QMI  
AGENCY 4/12/10 As local Catholics puzzle Friday over the sudden resignation of  
their bishop, his predecessor was implicated in the coverup of sexual abuse 
by a  priest in Pembroke. Former St. Catharines bishop John O'Mara was named 
by former  Pembroke bishop Joseph Windle in a 1993 letter to the Vatican's 
ambassador in  Ottawa. O'Mara was named as part of a group of Ontario 
bishops who backed  Windle's recommendation that the abuse of minors by a 
Pembroke 
priest be kept  silent. The priest in question, Father Bernard Prince, had 
been shipped off to  Rome and became a friend of then Pope John Paul II. 

In his letter,  Windle was deeply concerned that if the Vatican graced the 
priest with any  attention or honours, it would expose the abuse and create 
a scandalPrince  was convicted in 2008 of sexually molesting 13 boys 
between 1964 and 1984, and  was formally defrocked by Pope Benedict XVI last 
year. He was sent to Rome and  became a Vatican official in 1991 after church 
officials in Canada first heard  from a victim of his crimes. In his letter, 
which became public Friday as part  of a civil case against the Pembroke 
Diocese and Prince, Windle supported the  move even in light of the 
seriousness of the allegations. "I would not object to  him being given another 
chance 
since it would remove him from the Canadian  scene," Windle wrote. By 1993, 
further allegations against Prince surfaced.  Windle explained in his 
letter there were four or five known victims and at  least one of them was 
asking 
pointed questions about how the church was handling  the situation. Still, 
Windle believed the Church could keep the situation secret  because the 
victims were unlikely to go to the police or the press.

Paedophilia  complaints 'unpunished' April 13, 2010 BELGIAN bishops have 
failed to punish any  clergy over 300 complaints of paedophilia brought to 
their attention in the  1990s, claims a priest who helped many victims. ''We 
brought forward between  1992 and 1998 more than 300 complaints from victims 
of abuse committed by  priests, but only 15 ended up with admissions'' of 
guilt, Father Rick Deville  told the Flemish dailies De Standaard and Het 
Nieuwsblad yesterday. 

''A  priest accused would most often be moved, but was never punished,'' he 
 complained. Founder of the group Human Rights in the Church, which defends 
 victims of abuse, the 65-year-old Father Deville deplored the lack of 
support  from the Belgian Catholic hierarchy. ''Very few bishops helped us,'' 
he 
said. In  most cases the victims were told that their actions were 
''unfortunately  banned''. In some cases the victims themselves were accused of 
defamation, he  said. AFP

Vatican  Clarifies Its Policy on Reporting Abuse VATICAN CITY (AP) - The 
Vatican on  Monday responded to allegations it long concealed clerical sex 
abuse by making  it clear for the first time that bishops and clerics worldwide 
should report  such crimes to police if they are required to by law.
The policy, spelled out  in a guide for laymen and posted on the Vatican's 
Web site, matches the policy  worked out by U.S. bishops after an explosion 
of sex abuse cases in  2002.

Unlike the American norms, however, the Vatican guide contains no  call for 
''zero toler
