“Fraud on Massive Scale” – Pensioners OR Australian government?

Posted on September 26, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

The Australian Labour government have so many things to answer for regarding their own financial mis-management and irresponsibility to the country and its citizens, they make themselves look silly when picking on pensioners. “Fraud on a massive scale” by our elderly, which I believe could be challenged, is an insult and an affront by comparison.

The boot is on the other foot!

Finance Minister Penny Wong has warned elderly pensioners to properly declare their incomes.

Senator Wong said today she had “not been looking under pensioners’ beds lately”.

Just as well Penny, because I am so darn crook, I cannot move my bed right now so the only thing you would find there would be the resident family of dust mites!

“But I would say we have a system of means testing for access to the pension and people are required to declare their assets and their income in order to access them,” she told reporters in Canberra.

Does this mean that our coin jar must be declared too……
hope you enjoy the time consuming habit of counting 5 Cent pieces!

So this is what it is coming to, victimize the pensioners and then bring in a NO CASH (cashless) society, whereby every transaction made with a plastic card in the…

Who’s afraid of Muslim Rage?

Posted on September 25, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

A US magazine cover (below) screams out the general media slant of the last two weeks: the Muslim world is burning with anti-western anger over an Islamophobic film, with hordes of violent protesters on the streets threatening us all … but is it really? Citizens and new media are responding, and Gawker has brilliantly satirised the hype with alternative images of “Muslim Rage”:

When Newsweek asked readers to tweet their own stories about #MuslimRage, many thousands did, hilariously: Linked Here.

Seven things you may have missed in the ‘Rage’:

Like everyone else, many Muslims find the 13 minute Islamophobic video “Innocence of Muslims” trashy and offensive. Protests have spread quickly, tapping into understandable and lasting grievances about neo-colonialist US and western foreign policy in the Middle East, as well as religious sensitivities about depictions of the Prophet Muhammad. But the news coverage often obscures some important points:

1. Early estimates put participation in anti-film protests at between 0.001 and 0.007% of the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims – a tiny fraction of those who marched for democracy in the Arab spring.

2. The vast majority of protesters have been peaceful. The breaches of foreign embassies were almost all organised or fuelled by elements of the Salafist movement, a radical Islamist group that is most concerned with undermining more popular moderate Islamist groups.

3. Top Libyan and US officials are divided over whether the killing of the US ambassador to Libya was likely pre-planned to coincide with 9/11, and therefore not connected to the film.

When Is A Terrorist No Longer A Terrorist?

Posted on September 25, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

Why do I beat my head up against a brick wall? Because it feels good when I stop!

The question is – will I ever stop? It could happen when a suitable majority of Westerners become so aware of the annihilation for which they are responsible that they say enough is enough! It could happen if I eventually concede that this and like blogs are incapable of convincing the general public of the truth. But that would not constitute a feel-good state.

So, here we go again! More craziness by the US that apparently seems meaningless to the public, yet it represents clear proof of the the madness that drives the globalism train, also clearly the direction in which it travels, also the inevitable disaster which will befall the citizens of many countries.

This ‘GlobalResearch’ post by Danny Schechter continues the drama unfolding in, around and about Iran. The terrorist that is the hated enemy of the American people provides the US leaders with the means to convince its citizens that they must sacrifice their sons and daughters lives for the sake of their own “security”, and their own freedom and well-being for the country’s “well-being”, can suddenly become an ally to aid in further destruction elsewhere. Other countries are making the same sacrifices and the public “be damned”.

Question: When is a terrorist a terrorist?

Answer: When the US government says so.

When the Mujhadeen in Afghanistan were assassinating members of their government and the Russian troops dispatched to support it, they were, in Washington’s view, freedom fighters, even as their enemies branded them terrorists.

When they turned against an Afghan government imposed by the United States or revolted against a US invasion, they were once again branded terrorists.

When armed groups battling Gadaffi’s govermment(sic) were supported by NATO, they were called freedom fighters. When some recently and allegedly turned violently against the United States which is now dominating Libyan politics, they are once again castigated as terrorists.

And now, the United States Government through a decision by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has decided that the Iranian group Mujahedeen Khalq, or People’s Mujahedeen, that had been on the US State Department’s terrorist list for years, has now been taken off the list.

“As The War Drums Beat”

Posted on September 24, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

Are there always two sides to any story? Almost always – yes!

In the case of Iran and its claimed threat to the Middle East stability, predominantly a claim by Israel, there is significant evidence and the force of logic to support a reasonable defence of Iran’s relative innocence in the trouble-making area.

On the other hand, Israel and its alliances have a well-documented track record of serious interference in other countries. A record starkly contrasting with Iran, except when Western interference within Iran, together with an Iraqi alliance (with the US), created a war attempting to gain permanent control of Iran.

This article posted by SOTT presents an impressive picture of the other side of the publicly propagated propaganda. From Merlin Miller, Veterans Today:

I contemplate my recent trip to the Islamic Republic of Iran and ask myself who wants war between America and Iran. I quickly surmise that it is not the American people, nor the Iranian people, but globalists (international bankers and their multinational beneficiaries). They control Israel, the American media and most of our politicians…and by extension our foreign policy.

My journey to this exotic and little understood land began with an invitation to “New Horizon – The First International Independent Filmmakers Festival”. It was a conference and festival held in Tehran from September 2nd through September 7th. Filmmakers and intellectuals from around the world attended. It was one of the most stimulating experiences that I have ever had and an effective bridge between diverse cultures and perspectives – with the purpose of promoting truth, justice, liberty, and peace.

This initiative was undertaken, not by America or other world leaders, but by a country unfairly besieged with sanctions and threats of war. My observations were in stark contrast to the perceptions of most Americans. What I experienced was a devout country with a love of God, family, and nation – and an uncompromising respect for the noblest of human endeavors.

West Attempts to Trigger Clash of Civilizations

Posted on September 24, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

This ‘Land Destroyer’ article adds to the convincing arguments that the “West”, France, Israel and others including the Saudi’s are complicit in the Middle East atrocities, as well as the deliberate inflaming of the anti-Islam feeling and the resulting rioting.

Al Qaeda & Islamophobic bigots working in tandem exploiting fear and ignorance. by Tony Cartalucci .

September 19, 2012 – In France where people are sent to jail for “Holocaust denial,” considered by law a religious hate crime, it seems strange then that well timed, raunchy cartoons designed solely to insult and inflame hate against and amongst Muslims worldwide would be defended vigorously by French politicians who claim, according to the Christian Science Monitor, that “freedom of the press should not be infringed.”

With Neo-Conservative warmongers behind a recent inflammatory film titled, “The Innocence of Muslims,” and their counterparts amongst radical sectarian extremists leading violent protests across the Middle East and North Africa, it would almost seem as if the publication of insulting cartoons by a French paper, “Charlie Hebdo,” was part of a grander strategy to create a manufactured conflict between Islam and the West, setting the stage for more overt military operations to take over faltering covert operations in Syria and beyond.

France (and the West) Are Playing Both Sides

It is a fact that France itself has provided state sponsorship of terrorism from Libya to Syria, arming, funding, and politically backing the very groups taking to the streets, burning Western consulates, and killing bystanders, diplomats, and security forces alike. France had armed, trained, funded, and provided air support for the UN-listed terrorist outfit, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) last year in Libya, in their bid to overthrow the government of Muammar Qaddafi

Image: Libyan Mahdi al-Harati of the US State Department, United Nations, and the UK Home Office (page 5, .pdf)-listed terrorist organization, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), addressing fellow terrorists in Syria. Harati is now commanding a Libyan brigade operating inside of Syria attempting to destroy the Syrian government and subjugate the Syrian population. Traditionally, this is known as “foreign invasion.” France is one of a handful of nations currently leading state-sponsorship of terrorist groups like LIFG in Syria.

LIFG had merged officially with Al Qaeda, according to a US Army West Point Combating Terrorism Center report in 2007, long before the French knowingly aided and abetted these terrorists in their bid to overthrow and overrun Libya. Currently, the government of France is funding and arming these very same terrorists, who promptly transferred weapons, cash, and fighters to Syria to begin terror operations there.

New Mandate for Healthcare Workers — Get Vaccinated or Lose Your Job

Posted on September 24, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

The reason for publishing this ‘VacTruth’ article is not the loss of ‘civil liberties’, ‘private rights’ aspects, although that is reason enough to so do. It is mainly to add further scientific evidence for the unjust promotion of vaccinations as being essential for your well-being and their claimed efficacy and safety. The article by Jennifer Hutchinson:

From nurses, lab techs, and students, to clerical, security, and volunteer personnel, you may be given an ultimatum anytime now: get a flu vaccine or lose your job. A new federal working group, Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) Increasing Influenza Vaccination Coverage Among Health Care Personnel (“the group”), has recommended that hospitals around the country implement a program to increase flu immunization rates to 90 percent by 2020. [1]

Before exploring this new mandate—and your options—let’s ask some questions about the flu vaccine.

HOW EFFECTIVE IS IT?

According to an article published in The Lancet earlier this year, the vaccine prevents influenza in approximately 60 of every 100 people. [2] Michael Osterholm, lead author of the new report and director of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research & Policy, says “it’s not nearly the vaccine that we need for the future.” [3]

The meta-analysis of 5,707 articles published from 1967 to 2011 turned up 31 “eligible” studies. That means 5,676 studies were NOT eligible. Why? Were they not true randomized controlled trials? And/or did they show that the flu vaccine wasn’t effective?

Read the next two sentences carefully. Approximately 60 percent of doctors and nurses get a flu shot. Among other healthcare personnel, the rate is less than 50 percent. [4] Why? These are educated people who have devoted their lives to helping the sick and injured. Do they know something we don’t know?

Here’s another red flag. The University of Pittsburgh and Sanofi Pasteur are collaborating to create a universal flu vaccine that protects against all strains of influenza. This new shot is the result of a discovery of how the immune system reacts to the flu virus and generates antibodies. [5]

Dr. Beatrice Fontoura (UT Southwestern) explains that the reason so many people who receive the current shot still get the flu is because the virus can mutate, making the vaccine ineffective. “What we are doing is something different,” she says. “We are actually stimulating our own response which is already there—boost it—to fight an infection.” [6]

Hmmm … Sounds like an admission that the current shot isn’t working. [tgr emphasis]

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE STATISTICS?

Louis Armstrong had it right – What a Wonderful World!

Posted on September 22, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

About time we had some really human, as distinct from animalistic behaviour to publish.

Hmmmm! I think I am confused. Is it possible that human behaviour is “animalistic’ and animal behaviour is what we would like humans to follow?

Stop the slaughter of wildlife [Stop the slaughter of humans (tgr)]

What a wonderful world indeed – now let’s protect it. Sign the Avaaz petition to stop the killing of lions in South Africa, and then share this film with everyone you know.

It would be a lot more wonderful IF the majority of the world’s population were free and could enjoy it!

The reason why people don’t accept that our own government has turned on us

The reason why it’s so hard for people to accept that our own governments have turned on us, is because we haven’t done anything. But, if you think about it, that is the exact reason they have turned on us. When you give someone absolute power, they abuse that power, taking more and more and more. It has gotten to to the point where the globalists have convinced our politicians that killing us in large numbers is not only acceptable, but desirable. There is no other way to look at it.

With GMOs poisoning our food, the fluoride that poisons our water, the chemtrails poisoning our air and the vaccinations poisoning our bodies, they are pushing more and more poison on us than ever before, and they don’t stop even after we catch them red handed. The mass of the population calls all these…

Neurosurgeon Shows How Low Levels of Radiation Such As Wi-Fi, Smart Meters And Cell Phones Cause The Blood Brain Barrier To Leak

Posted on September 22, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

From Sott.net, an interesting article by Marco Torres, PreventDisease.com.

It seems that we should not be complacent about low level EM radiation, the safety assurances provided by authorities may not be adequate.

© PreventDisease.com

Neurosurgeon and researcher Dr. Leif Salford has conducted many studies on radio frequency radiation and its effects on the brain. Dr. Salford called the potential implications of some of his research “terrifying.” Some of the most concerning conclusions result from the fact that the weakest exposure levels to wireless radiation caused the greatest effect in causing the blood brain barrier to leak.

Since he began his line of research in 1988, Dr. Leif Salford and his colleagues at Lund University Hospital in Sweden has exposed over 1,600 experimental animals to low-level radiation. Their results were consistent and worrisome: radiation, including that from cell phones, caused the blood-brain barrier–the brain’s first line of
defense against infections and toxic chemicals–to leak.

Researchers in 13 other laboratories in 6 different countries had reported the same effect, but no one had proven whether it would lead to any damage in the long term. In a study published June 2003 in Environmental Health Perspectives, Salford’s team repeated the experiment on 32 additional animals, but this time waited eight weeks before sacrificing them and examining their brains. In those animals that had been exposed to a cell phone, up to two percent of the neurons in all areas of the brain were shrunken and degenerated.

Salford, chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at his institution, called the potential implications “terrifying.” “We have good reason to believe,” he said, “that what happens in rats’ brains also happens in humans.” Referring to today’s teenagers, the study’s authors wrote that “a whole generation of users may suffer negative effects, perhaps as early as in middle age.”

Dr. Devra Davis, author of “Disconnect” explains the science of cell phone radiation in a very comprehensive way. For example she shows photos of two cells, one whose DNA has been damaged by “gamma” radiation (which is what was emitted in Hiroshima) and another cell damaged by low level pulsing non ionizing radiation (from a cell phone). Both cells look very damaged compared to a normal cell; but she even goes on to say the DNA from the cell exposed to the cell phone radiation looks worse. She also discusses the campaign to discredit reputable scientists and their studies–some of these reputable studies having been around since 1972 (Frey).
