Prior to COP15 I noted the painfully obvious stargate-Climategate association (on the 13th it was reported that Henrik Svensmark, who studies how changes in our star may affect changes in our climate, collapsed during a debate when his pacemaker tweaked out). On 12/9/09, the day after the LHC’s record-breaking collisions “of more than 10 billion protons per bunch at a total energy of 2.36 trillion electron volts, or TeV, per collision” (2+3+6=11, 2+36=38=11) a mysterious spiral (clockwise in all the photos/footage I’ve seen, like the An Inconvenient Truth spiral) showed up over Norway on the eve of Barakhenaton’s rather less dazzling Nobel War Prize acceptance speech.
The mystery began when a blue light seemed to soar up from behind a mountain in the north of the country. It stopped mid-air, then began to move in circles. Within seconds a giant spiral had covered the entire sky.
Then a green-blue beam of light shot out from its centre – lasting for ten to 12 minutes before disappearing completely.
Onlookers describing it as ‘like a big fireball that went around, with a great light around it’ and ‘a shooting star that spun around and around’.
Yesterday a Norwegian defence spokesman said the display was most likely from a failed Russian test launch.
Dig overviews of spiral speculation from Strange Eye and Freeman. William Henry, Mark Gray and Whitley Strieber bring eschatology and “stargate metaphysics” in Obama’s speech to the table on Henry’s Revelations podcast. Richard Hoagland calls it a “torsion message“. Benjamin Crème, predictably, pins the spiral on Maitreya. The nearby European Incoherent Scatter array is a prime suspect for some, while the MSM proffers a mundane Bulava ICBM malfunction.
This morning I attended the Mass Meditation for Peace on Flagstaff Hill in Oakland. If you haven’t participated in an outdoor mass meditation before, I highly recommend it.
The attendees meditated to the chanting song of two Mayan elders. Later, 15 Burmese monks walked around the people meditating, encircling them and saying prayers.
Sarah Bauer, a therapist from the Pittsburgh Center for Complementary Health and Healing, organized the event with the aid of others associated with the Thomas Merton Center, which helps coordinate the efforts of various activists in Pittsburgh.
She said the message came from a Vietnamese Zen master whose philosophy was “peace in oneself, peace in the world.”
Meditation, she said, allows for people to feel silence and peace within themselves, to pray for change they want to see and then “have it emanate out.”
For all my dilettantish enthusiasm for consciousness studies and all things esoteric, my actual meditation chops, never great to begin with, have been pretty rusty lately. The presence of so many others proficient in the art helped me slough some attention-rust this morning, whether or not the consciences of any nation-state puppet heads or central banker puppeteers kicked in as a result. The synergy, alignment, harmonization and oneness the globalists prattle on about, abusing these terms as euphemisms for centralized control, refer to real processes and states (pardon) of being; you just need to turn down the prattle a bit in order to experience them.
Thanks to everyone present this morning for facilitating this.
Now, with regard to the prattle,
But words are still the principal instruments of control. Suggestions are words. Persuasions are words. Orders are words. No control machine so far devised can operate without words, and any control machine which attempts to do so relying entirely on external force or entirely on physical control of the mind will soon encounter the limits of control.
Burroughs, “The Limits of Control” 1978
I showed up at 5:15 at the August Wilson Center for a 5:30 press conference with Michael Froman, courtesy of G20 Voice. Froman was late, so I ended up watching Barakhenaton address his subjects and the world, an activity I can’t recommend to non-fans of gallows humor. As expected, and as I scribbled onto a Three Rivers Community Foundation G-20 Guide, he patted Himself & co. on the collective back, declaring that, “Our coordinated stimulus plans played an indispensable role in averting catastrophe,” and that, “We can’t wait for a crisis to cooperate,” and that, “… we will continue our stimulus efforts until our people are back to work,” as no-frills serfs, and that, “I’ve called for a new era of engagement that yields real results for our people — an era when nations live up to their responsibilities, and act on behalf of our shared security and prosperity,” which apparently includes “a new World Bank Trust Fund” and throwing the IMF $500 billion more with which to wreak its usual usurious havoc. He also announced that we have, like, a Coalition of the Willing Iran-wise, and that, “… with respect to the military, I’ve always said that we do not rule out any options when it comes to U.S. security interests.” I refrained from giggling throughout the news conference, but admit I nearly lost it when he said, “We went into Afghanistan not because we were interested in entering that country or positioning ourselves regionally, but because al Qaeda yada yada,” then bragged about how, “… the minute I came into office we initiated a review, and even before that review was completed, I ordered 21,000 additional troops into Afghanistan.” Still, not a chuckle from any of the journalists assembled in the August Wilson Center, not even when he said of protesters, “They object to free markets. One of the great things about the United States is, is that you can speak your mind and you can protest; that’s part of our tradition. But I fundamentally disagree with their view that the free market is the source of all ills,” then began his next sentence with the adverb “ironically”. He also reassured those with climate concerns that the fossil fuel subsidy reform maybe kinda hashed out over the past two days will “… help us combat the threat posed by climate change,” and that the G-20 is “… acting to address the threat posed by climate change.” Thanks, guys! Though Obama did use the phrase, “global economic cooperation and governance” once and “new framework” three times, he at least showed restraint in not mentioning “9/11,” “anarchy”, “freedom” and “the planet Krypton”.
At 6pm, Obama’s old college chum, former President and CEO of CitiInsurance,
Senior Council on Foreign Relations Fellow and now Deputy Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Adviser for International Economic Affairs, Michael Froman dropped by to take bloggers’ questions, all of which were climate-related (and answered with the same vague commitments to do something somehow, at some point, moving forward, but cautiously), save mine, which pertained to central bank and G-20 secrecy. Froman basically responded there was no time for the G-20 to discuss trifles like central banks submitting to audits and “coming clean”, as Obama insisted Iran do about their nuke program, and that the G-20 isn’t secret because, look, I’m here talking to you, Obama just said a bunch of stuff, and a lovely Leaders’ Statement was issued summarizing all the stuff the G-20 discussed in secret. There were many cameras in the room, and I was assured the press conference was being recorded, so I decided to save batteries on my mp3 recorder and not take any notes. Of course, now the only media I can find of this thing are some flickr photos and a blog post about his responses to some of the climate questions. Until video or audio corroboration surfaces, you’ll just have to take my word, or not, that Froman conveyed what I said he conveyed, much as we’re asked to take on faith what was and was not discussed in the sanctum sanctorum of the Convention Center. As above, so below, I suppose.
Awful stuff went down in Oakland yesterday after I hightailed it to Fe Gallery,
but, as of 11:11 Friday, far as I know, no one in this city has been directly killed by either the G-20 or their Starship Troopers. Obviously, that’s not saying much.
Just glad I can say it.
Abide in loving awareness, get your story out there and cuídate.
UPDATE 9-26-01
Jessica Silver dropped by today with the footage and photos she shot and which currently inhabit this and the previous post. If you liberate them, please give her credit.
The Secret Service will take the lead in securing the city when world leaders come to Pittsburgh for the G-20 summit in September, city Public Safety Director Mike Huss said Friday.
Preparations for the summit, hailed by Mayor Luke Ravenstahl as perhaps the highest-profile event ever to take place in Pittsburgh, quickly accelerated. Hotels are filling, public safety plans are beginning to form and local leaders are deciding how best to take advantage of the international attention the region will receive Sept. 24 and 25.
The Secret Service will coordinate law enforcement and security efforts of the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, Pennsylvania State Police, city police and others, Huss said.
***
Control and security were topics of the first clandestine meetings between the Secret Service and Huss early this month. David Agnew, White House deputy director of intergovernmental affairs, called Ravenstahl then, during the final weeks of his primary election campaign, to tell him Pittsburgh was at the top of a short list of potential host cities.
Agnew told Ravenstahl the White House advance team needed to assess security, find enough hotel rooms and make sure local leaders could keep a secret.
“I had a tough time over the last couple of weeks having the news bottled up because we were so excited and really thrilled about the opportunity,” Ravenstahl said.
VisitPittsburgh called hotels to see whether they could secure as many as 6,500 rooms on Sept. 24, and did so without telling hotel managers who would be coming. Huss met with the Secret Service at “off-site” locations, and Ravenstahl and Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato stayed away for fear of being noticed.
Agnew called Ravenstahl on Tuesday to confirm President Obama chose Pittsburgh.
“It’s been my experience as mayor that once somebody comes here and experiences the city, they have nothing but good things to say about it,” Ravenstahl said. “Our challenge, oftentimes, is to get them to come here. Well, now we’ve got them coming here.”
At least six prominent hotels were booked solid within 24 hours of Thursday’s announcement. According to their Web sites, no rooms are available Sept. 24 at the Omni William Penn, Westin Convention Center Hotel and Hilton, Downtown, or at two Hyatts and one Marriott near Pittsburgh International Airport.
“We were told to prepare for an onslaught,” said Craig Davis, vice president of sales and marketing at VisitPittsburgh.
The Sept. 24 to 25 conference will put Pittsburgh on the international stage as the heads of state of the world’s leading economic powers gather here for an update on the world economic crisis.
Moira Mack, a White House spokeswoman, said Mr. Obama became familiar with the region’s rebirth during many campaign visits and developed “an affinity” for the city.
“After spending quite a bit of time in Pennsylvania … the president has seen the region embrace green technology, and new industries, and that’s what we want to highlight at the summit,” she said.
In an exclusive interview with Pittsburgh Α to Ω, Obama confessed, “Not only do I love the Steelers and Pamela’s pancakes and Jamil’s Global Village’s fine selection of conspiracy lit and shea butter, but CMU’s outstanding contributions to the ongoing robotic and atmospheric war efforts, the city’s proximity to Iron Mountain and the Meadowcroft site, and the Point’s isomorphism to the Mayan Tree of Life made Pittsburgh the obvious choice for the summit,” and, “Who needs FEMA camps when Pittsburgh has magnificent green structures like the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Heinz Field and PNC Park, which could easily serve as detention facilities in the event of, you know, whatever?”
At an April 4 news conference in Strasbourg, France (White House transcript here), President Obama referred to a language that doesn’t exist (bold is mine; HT to DrewM at Ace of Spades):
It was also interesting to see that political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate. There’s a lot of — I don’t know what the term is in Austrian — wheeling and dealing — and, you know, people are pursuing their interests, and everybody has their own particular issues and their own particular politics.
Apparently none of Obama’s 12 teleprompters (their existence was cited a week ago at the UK’s Evening Standard, and noted yesterday at NewsBusters and BizzyBlog) were able to guide Obama’s dialect-challenged utterance in time.
Amazingly, Tom Raum of the Associated Press in effect made the same mistake (HT to an e-mailer) when he cited the above Obama quote and failed to note that there isn’t an Austrian language. Raum and who knows how many editors surely had several hours to get it right, and didn’t.
For the record, Austria’s languages, according to Wikipedia, are “German, locally also Slovene, Croatian and Hungarian.”
This is either an example of the lengths to which the press will go to cover for their dear President ‘Prompter, or an example of how ignorant the press covering Barack Obama really is. Or a bit of both.
Does anyone think that the establishment media would have let this slide if George Bush had been the one who made this mistake?
In a court action that names not only Yale and the society, but also Barack Obama and Robert Gates, his defence secretary, 20 descendants of the famous American Indian leader are seeking to recover his remains so his spirit can be laid to rest in his tribal homeland.
Their legal action, filed this week in a federal-district court in Washington DC on the 100th anniversary of his death, will seek to determine the truth of rumours that Geronimo’s burial at Fort Sill in Oklahoma was not his final resting place.
***
The remains would be returned to Geronimo’s birthplace in the Gila Mountains of New Mexico for a traditional Apache burial, said his great-grandson, Harlyn.
He stressed that such a burial was one of the most important sacred rites in his tribe’s culture.
“It’s been 100 years since the death of my great-grandfather in 1909. It’s been 100 years of imprisonment,” Mr Geronimo said outside court.
“The spirit is wandering until a proper burial has been performed. The only way to put this into closure is to release the remains, his spirit, so that he can be taken back to his homeland in the Gila Mountains, at the head of the Gila River.” The suit contends that Geronimo’s descendants are entitled to his remains and funerary possessions under the 1990 American Indian Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.
With Goolsbeehaunting the Obama White House and “bailing out” his Bilderberg/banker brothers to the tune of hundreds of billions of bones, you’d think they could afford to throw just a coupleHarlyn Geronimo’s way. They won’t, of course, but the louder the plaintiffs kvetch, the more public awareness of this “secret society” spreads, and that’s all to the good.
Can’t bust a ghost if you don’t even know it’s there!
UPDATE, 2-24-09
Prescott Bush says he’s really, really sorry.
UPDATE, 3-11-09
WNPR interviewed Marc Wortman, Ramsey Clark, Morning Star Institute president Suzan Shown Harjo, Fort Sill Apache chairman Jeff Houser and Alexandra Robbins about the Mystery of the Bones. Thanks to Lylmyrycle for cluing me in to this one.
