Verified Warnings From Former U.S. Presidents About the “Invisible Government” Running the U.S. With “No Allegiance To the People” “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”- George Santayana Past presidents of the United States and other high profile political leaders have repeatedly issued warnings over the last 214 years that the U.S. government is under the control of an “invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.” According to six of our former presidents, one vice-president, and a myriad of other high profile political leaders, an invisible government that is “incredibly evil in intent” has been in control of the U.S. government “ever since the days of Andrew Jackson” (since at least 1836). They “virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both parties… It operates under cover of a self-created screen [and] seizes our executive officers, legislative bodies, schools, courts, newspapers and every agency created for the public protection.”

“Mr. The Federal Reserve Bernanke: “No” The Government Is Spying On ALL Americans’ Digital and Old-Fashioned Communications. Even now – after all of the revelations by Edward Snowden and other whistleblowers – spying apologists say that the reports are “exaggerated” or “overblown”, and that the government only spies on potential bad guys. In reality, the government is spying on everyone’s digital and old-fashioned communications. For example, the government is photographing the outside information on every piece of snail mail. The government is spying on you through your phone … and may even remotely turn on your camera and microphone when your phone is off. As one example, the NSA has inserted its code into Android’s operating system … bugging three-quarters of the world’s smartphones. Cell towers track where your phone is at any moment, and the major cell carriers, including Verizon and AT&T, responded to at least 1.3 million law enforcement requests for cell phone locations and other data in 2011.

The government might be spying on you through your computer’s webcam or microphone. CBS News points out: War is a Racket! - Looking Glass News. War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about.

It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses. I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we'll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag. I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There isn't a trick in the racketeering bag that the military gang is blind to.

It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison. I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. War Is A Racket WAR is a racket. You Are a Guinea Pig. A chemical fire in Des Moines, Iowa, October 2007.

In A Nutshell: Corporatocracy Has Replaced Capitalism Capitalism Fixes Problems & Preserves Democracy: Capitalism is what we should be relying on to fix our problems. Capitalism has it's own ecosystem, just like biology's ecosystem.

An economic ecosystem that weeds out the weak, has parasites that eat the failures and new bacteria that evolves and grows replacements for that which failed. A system that keeps everything in balance. The problem is we are no longer a capitalistic society. As outlined in "It's Not A Financial Crisis - It's A Stupidity Crisis", we created two back to back bubbles.

Now, after the second Stupidity Crisis there isn't a third bubble to inflate. But that isn't what happened. In a very anti-capitalistic move the government decided that stupidity and criminal activity should be rewarded. That is unequivocally immoral. They gave that borrowed money to a bunch of morons as a reward for stupidity.

Then it all blew up. Big surprise. Click image to enlarge. Terribly! Dr. Can we stop the seas from rising? Yes, but less than you think. We can hold back some of the tide, but not all of it. (Amanda Lucier/The Washington Post) And the oceans are likely to keep creeping up. Scientists project that if we keep warming the planet at our current pace, sea levels could rise between two and seven feet by 2100, particularly as the world's glaciers and ice caps melt. So that raises the question: Is there anything we can do to stop sea-level rise? As it turns out, reducing our emissions would help slow the rate of sea-level rise — but at this point, it's unlikely that we could stop further rises altogether.

As NCAR's Gerald Meehl, a co-author of the study, explained to me by e-mail, it's a lot easier to stabilize global temperatures by cutting carbon emissions than it is to stabilize sea-level rise. There are two ways that global warming causes sea levels to rise. In both scenarios, sea-levels continue to rise through 2300, though at very different rates. A few takeaways from these studies: Further reading: SEARCH : Study of Environmental Arctic Change. About the Sea Ice Outlook Fractured Sea Ice The SEARCH Sea Ice Outlook is an international effort to provide a community-wide summary of the expected September arctic sea ice minimum. Monthly reports released throughout the summer synthesize community estimates of the current state and expected minimum of sea ice—at both a pan-arctic and regional scale. The intent of the SEARCH Sea Ice Outlook effort is not to issue predictions, but rather to summarize all available data and observations to provide the scientific community, stakeholders, and the public the best available information on the evolution of arctic sea ice.

Sea Ice Outlook activities are supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and through the volunteer efforts of contributors.

Some even fear that global warming may be able to trigger the type of abrupt massive temperature shifts which occurred during the last glacial period: a series of Dansgaard-Oeschger events – rapid climate fluctuations – may be attributed to freshwater forcing at high latitude interrupting the THC.

The Younger Dryas event may have been of this sort, too.

Ten Charts That Make Clear The Planet Just Keeps Warming. By Joe Romm on October 15, 2012 at 6:46 pm "Ten Charts That Make Clear The Planet Just Keeps Warming" Perhaps you thought that the whole “planet isn’t warming” meme was killed by this summer’s bombshell Koch-funded study.

After all, it found ”global warming is real,” “on the high end” and “essentially all” due to carbon pollution. Sadly, denial springs eternal. The piece is so misleading, even the UK Met Office felt a need to instantly debunk it with a blog post that included this chart. UK Met Office graph showing years ranked in order of global temperature. Since Rose managed to find one misleading chart to push his myth, I thought I would dig up ten serious ones that show the reverse, including the top chart from Skeptical Science, the great Australian blog, which is derived from the data in the Koch-funded study. Note: “Skeptics” is an Aussie word for denier or disinformer. As we’ve stressed before, choosing a starting or end point on short-term scales can be very misleading. 19 Facts About The Deindustrialization Of America That Will Blow Your Mind. The United States is rapidly becoming the very first "post-industrial" nation on the globe. All great economic empires eventually become fat and lazy and squander the great wealth that their forefathers have left them, but the pace at which America is accomplishing this is absolutely amazing.

It was America that was at the forefront of the industrial revolution. It was America that showed the world how to mass produce everything from automobiles to televisions to airplanes. It was the great American manufacturing base that crushed Germany and Japan in World War II. But now we are witnessing the deindustrialization of America. Any great nation throughout history has been great at making things. So what happens when the debt bubble pops? The deindustrialization of the United States should be a top concern for every man, woman and child in the country. For people like that, take this article and print it out and hand it to them. . #4 In 2008, 1.2 billion cellphones were sold worldwide.

Hemp. HempCoverups uncovered www.davidicke.net/tellthetruth/coverups/hiddenus1.html The building of early American colonies as well as the American Revolution would not have been possible if it were not for a very special plant. The Cannabis / Hemp plant was used throughout the world since the beginning of time for just about everything that mankind needed. Paper made from hemp was used for books, bibles, maps, and money. You can produce 4 times as much paper from an acre of hemp as you can from an acre of trees at 1/4 the cost, 1/5 the pollution, it is 10 times stronger and lasts up to 1000 years instead of only 50. The Constitution was printed on hemp paper as well as the first 3 drafts of the Declaration of Independence. Hemp is the STRONGEST natural fiber on the planet. Henry Ford built his Ford Model-T using hemp to line the side panels.

Russian officials have announced a temporary ban on the import and sale of any of Monsanto’s genetically modified corn into the country as a result of a French study released last week connecting the corn with an increased risk of cancer. Rospotrebnadzor, the Russian consumer-rights regulating agency, forwarded the study out of France’s University of Caen to its Institute of Nutrition for further review. The agency also contacted the European Commission’s Directorate General for Health and Consumers to get a better understanding of the EU’s position on genetically modified organisms.

It was the longest study of its kind conducted on GMOs and companion pesticides. This study specifically looked at the effects of Monsanto’s genetically modified corn, designed to resist heavy applications of glyphosate (marketed as Monsanto’s Roundup). The corn was fed to rats over a two-year period. Monsanto responded to the study’s results by saying the research did not meet “acceptable standards.” Profits Before People: 7 of the World’s Most Irresponsible Companies.
