Over the last few years political and financial leaders in Europe and the United States have implemented policies, regulations and bailouts costing global taxpayers trillions of dollars with the promise that these measures would lead to economic growth and recovery.
What happened in Europe today is yet further proof that nothing they’ve done has fixed the underlying fundamental issues surrounding the events that led to the crash of 2008.
For those who don’t believe the government is prepared to take extreme measures that may include the seizing of retirement accounts, cash savings or even gold, look no further than Cyprus, the latest recipient of bank bailouts.
As of right now, citizens of Cyprus are scrambling to withdraw funds from their bank accounts after the EU, with agreement from the Cypriot government, announced they will decimate funds held in personal bank accounts to the tune of up to 10% of existing deposits. You read that right.
The European Union has made the determination that the people of Cyprus are now responsible for the hundreds of billions of dollars in bad bets made by their government and bank financiers, and they are moving to confiscate money directly from the bank accounts of every citizen in the country.
Restrictions have been imposed to stop people emptying their accounts or moving their money out the country after the Cypriot government announced that up to ten per cent of deposits will be seized and used to bail out the island’s crisis-hit banking system.
The deal with other euro-zone finance ministers is the first time that ordinary citizens’ deposits have been directly raided in this way.
…
One furious expat said: ‘This is plain theft. I’d love to hear someone explain to me why it isn’t.’
…
Under the deal, all bank deposits over €100,000 will be hit with a levy of 9.9 per cent. Those with smaller savings will pay 6.75 per cent.
…
The move sparked panic and violent protests yesterday as crowds desperately tried to withdraw their money at cash machines.
…
‘Why would you risk putting your money in Greek, Spanish or Portuguese banks after this?’
British expats were stunned by the news, with many left high and dry by the restrictions on accounts.
Cash machines had been working, but many ran out of notes because of the panic withdrawals.
…
But financial experts said the raid – designed to stop Cyprus crashing out of the euro, potentially destroying the currency – would send shock waves through the eurozone.
If savers in other troubled nations fear their accounts might be next, they could withdraw their money and spark a catastrophic run on the banks.
If you have the majority of your net worth allocated in bank accounts, money market funds, retirement plans, stock markets or the host of other ‘safe’ assets recommended by your financial adviser, then you are playing Russian roulette.
And in this version there’s a bullet in every chamber. When they come, they will take everything they can.
Several residents report about a UFO surrounded by Helicopters. Even thou the so called News reporters in the video obviously trying to make a joke about it. There are way to many reports about this incident just to joke it away. And it did make National News.
This YouTube uploader has according to him evidence for that a Solar Storm is on it`s way soon. This video was uploaded March 16 2013. And as we all know by now a solar “superstorm” could knock out Earth’s communications satellites, cause dangerous power surges in the national grid and disrupt crucial navigation aids and aircraft avionics, a major report has found. It is inevitable that an extreme solar storm caused by the Sun ejecting billions of tonnes of highly-energetic matter traveling at a million miles an hour – will hit the Earth at some time in the near future, but it is impossible to predict more than about 30 minutes before it actually happens, a team of engineers has warned.
The engineering of consent is the very essence of the democratic process, the freedom to persuade and suggest. Edward Bernays, 1955
In his 1928 book Propaganda, Edward Bernays, the architect of modern day public relations and marketing, argues that manipulation of public opinion is necessary to overcome chaos and conflict in society. It’s a strategy that his been implemented for centuries, but most notably during the last hundred years. Stalin, Hitler, Mao and Hussein found propaganda to be an extremely effective mechanism of control over their populations, as have modern-day governments of the Western world where “freedom of the press” and government transparency are supposed to be a key tenet of an open society.
It’s often a soft-sell strategy, repeating a message hundreds, even thousands of times, so that the consciousness of an entire people can be shifted to accommodate the plans of those in positions of power.
Sometimes, however, the propaganda is so over the top that it leaves you wondering if it’s even real. The following video from notorious ‘Axis of Evil’ member North Korea leaves no doubt that propaganda is alive and well in our modern world.
According to the following documentary, reportedly disseminated to millions of North Koreans, conditions in the United States are so deplorable that Americans are being forced to eat wild birds and drink snow coffee just to survive.
This ridiculously blatant example of government manipulation is a must-see, not necessarily because of the irony of it being from North Korea, where Western journalists have reported that hundreds of thousands of people themselves are starving to death, but because it demonstrates how far leaders are willing to go to ensure their narrative is the only one that’s accepted by the masses, rendering all alternative opinions moot or conspiratorial.
Before we start pointing the finger at North Korea’s propaganda machine, however, we must look at our own government, and the manipulations regularly proclaimed as truth to the American people.
One of the most infamous and well known lies perpetrated by our own government has led to a decade’s long war, taken the lives of thousands of Americans, hundreds of thousands of civilians and left our country trillions of dollars in debt.
Watch, as former Secretary of State Colin Powell provides justification for why we must take our country to war, a move he later acknowledged was “one of my most momentous failures, the one with the widest-ranging impact.”
As Colin Powell later realized, the propaganda was so widespread that not even he was aware of it, having been manipulated by his superiors just like the American people.
Lies and half-truths abound, even in a society where the information is purportedly free-flowing.
Make no mistake – if you see it on TV, and the same information is being repeated over and over, you are being fed a line of complete bull.
It’s all theater:
Pushing the envelope:
It should make every one of us question the legitimacy of what we’re being told.
Don’t believe any of it for a second. In today’s day and age we must be our own investigators if we want to know the real truth, because our government and their propaganda alphabet news agencies are doing everything they can to hide what’s really going on.
It is sometimes possible to change the attitudes of millions but impossible to change the attitude of one man. Edward Bernays
Not only did the US troops that arrived to Berlin after the Russians long gone. They made up a story that they found Hitlers and Brauns burned bodies just outside the bunker. A really good performance considering that the Russian army didn’t manage to do this during all the time they spent there looking for Hitlers and Brauns bodies. 1 Month before the American troops arrived.
But here`s another American media thing that really smells musty from this time. It is here reported in more than 10 newspapers, between 1915-1938. That 6 million Jews were killed. Now this is a bit strange? How can 10 newspapers between 1915-1938 report about this, before the holocaust even happened? Also the 6 million figure is mentioned. Now this is exactly the same figure as what was told being killed by the Germans during WW2? My question is: Why haven’t we heard of this? It has been insistently gnawed about for over 70 years now, what the Germans did to the 6 million Jews during WW2. But not a word about these 6 million? Why? And why was it said that 6 million Jews were executed by the Germans, is this really a coincident?
All readers out there should first beware and familiar with the term ‘Hidden In Plain Sight’. And how this applies to the United Nations is simple. Because I believe that the United Nation plays a part in all of this. The United Nations main purpose is probably to be the centerpiece of the coming World Government that will control nearly of aspect of the global population. For years their military strength has grown as they are now increasingly tasked with upholding law and order in conflicts around the world. Just do a simple research into the U.N and prove to yourself that this is or isn’t the case. The U.N. is the governing body of The New World Order and Hidden In Plain Sight. And in all this, for Americans in this case. Fema Camps will play its part.
Because US Fema Camps are no longer just a conspiracy theory! They are now confirmed and also it is confirmed what they are for. The leaked document outlines how military assets will be used to “help local and state authorities to restore and maintain law and order” in the event of mass riots, civil unrest or a declaration of martial law.
The primary function of military assets will be focused around, “breaking up unauthorized gatherings and by patrolling the disturbance area to prevent the commission of lawless acts,” states the document, adding, “during operations to restore order, military forces may present a show of force, establish roadblocks, break up crowds, employ crowd control agents, patrol, serve as security forces or reserves, and perform other operations as required.
The manual also describes how prisoners will be processed through temporary internment camps under the guidance of U.S. Army FM 3-19.40 Internment/Resettlement Operations, which as we reported earlier this year, outlines how internees would be “re-educated” into developing an “appreciation of U.S. policies” while detained in prison camps inside the United States.

A California TV crew is missing since November 2002, and a video they left behind and found by US Navy Seals on a mission are the key elements in a story that claims extensive ancient ruins have been found under the ice of Antarctica. That’s according to archaeologist and adventurer Jonathan Gray of World Education Research Ltd in his free newsletter Archaeology News Flash. A spokesman for the company is reported to have said at the time that “The U.S. government said it will seek to block the airing of a video found by Navy rescuers in Antarctica that purportedly reveals that a massive archaeological dig is underway two miles (3,200 meters) beneath the ice.”
“The Atlantis TV production crew that shot the video is still missing.” reports Gray.
Attorneys for the Beverly Hills-based Atlantis TV stressed at the time that the company’s primary concern was for the safety and welfare of the crew.
But they stated they would vigorously oppose any attempts to censor material that is clearly in the public interest and public domain. The icy continent of Antarctica, they pointed out, belongs to no nation. The U.S. has no jurisdiction there.”
McMurdo Station Antarctica
“That video is the property of Atlantis TV, said a company spokesman, We shot it. It’s ours. And as soon as it is rightfully restored to us, were going to air it. End of story.”
WATCHED BY NAVY OFFICERS
“Two Navy officers who saw the tape described its contents to National Science Foundation (NSF) researchers upon their return to the Amundsen-Scott Station at the South Pole,” asserts Gray in his recent newsletter.
Amundsen-Scott Station
So reported sources at McMurdo Station, the main American base in Antarctica.”
They said it showed spectacular ruins and other things they couldn’t go into, an NSF scientist reported.
“We chalked it up to some kind of subzero-induced delusion,” he said, “until a helicopter full of Navy SEALs landed and picked them up and took off. Now, were scratching our heads.”
Officials of the U.S. Naval Support Task Force in Antarctica predictably denied the story or the possession of any video shot by the missing Atlantis TV crew.
Navy sources said they found the video in an abandoned supply dump 100 miles (160 kilometers) west of Vokstok Station.

At least four YouTube posters think there just may be a lost city on the continent of Antarctica.
A team of researchers are claiming that they have discovered three ancient pyramids on the ice-covered continent of Antarctica. Exact details are sketchy, but the team have released three intriguing pictures of their discovery. according to Stephen Hannard ADGUK
The international team comprises researchers from the United States, and several other, are from various European countries. Two of the huge pyramid structures were found approximately 10 miles inland, the third one not far from the coastline, clearly visible from ocean.
The team is currently planning an expedition to reach one of the pyramids to find out if it is a natural or an artificial structure. No further Details have been reported from the team as of 29 August 2012. More news is pending. I’m undecided on this one guys until further confirmation, so as always you decide.
Explorer and archaeologist Jonathan Gray discussed discoveries that demonstrate advanced ancient technology with George Noory on Coast To Coast A.M. Because such artifacts don’t match current academic beliefs they are often suppressed, with evidence destroyed or hidden, he said, citing the Smithsonian Institution, and countries such as Peru, America, Israel, New Zealand, France, and Australia as being involved in covering-up evidence.
Some of the suppressed ancient discoveries he highlighted:
A kind of glassware in Egypt and Peru that can be bent like plastic. Screen projectors used in Egyptian temples, with movement and sound simulation. Artifacts and buildings left on the moon– Chinese records speak of trips to the moon. The ‘Black Knight’ satellite– ancient races talked about putting up satellites. An ancient underground complex discovered in Southern California that included star charts on aluminum sheets. Micro-techology found in Russia, with some objects as small as 1/1000th of an inch. Maps of the ancient world that showed Antarctica as free of ice and populated.
Gray also spoke about his challenge to the work of Zecharia Sitchin, who contends that an ET race, the Annunaki, visited Earth from the planet Nibiru. Sitchin’s translations of Sumerian cuneiform does not match the accepted dictionary meanings, he commented.
Biography:
International explorer, archaeologist and author Jonathan Gray has traveled the world to gather data on ancient mysteries. Over the past 37 years, he has penetrated some largely unexplored areas, including parts of the Amazon headwaters. He has also led expeditions to the bottom of the sea and to remote mountain and desert regions of the world.
In the course of his explorations, Jonathan began to uncover evidence of surprising ”out-of-place” artifacts. According to what he was taught at school, these were impossible! They simply should not exist! And these were not just isolated anomalies. There was a global pattern to them, suggesting an ancient worldwide civilization of astonishing proportions.
His book, Dead Men’s Secrets, catalogues more than a thousand pieces of evidence of a lost super science and technology, including dozens of achievements ahead of our day.
The Book
Archaeologist Jonathan Gray stumbled upon something that shocked him: a whole cache of “out-of-place” items that should not exist. And they weren’t just in one place. There was a global pattern to them. This pattern showed a lost science and technology. This content was of tremendous value.
MACHINERY: Did you know that the Egyptians bored into granite rock with drills that turned 500 times faster than modern power drills?
ANCIENT AMERICA: Did you know that a Chinese mapping survey of North America in 2200 BC described a sunrise over the Grand Canyon, black opals and gold nuggets in Nevada, and seals frolicking in San Francisco Bay?
Dead Men’s Secrets is an assemblage of astonishing discoveries… A lost super science emerges from the sea floor, jungle and desert sands of our planet… over 1,000 forgotten secrets. See this world as you’ve never seen it before.
One might think that the lame mainstream media might have kept an eye on this particular headline from August 2011. Since CNN has not redacted the story as a mistake, one would have to infer that that the story simply fell off their radar, or that the US Government has a forced media blackout on the subject. Either way, could explain the increasing number of comets, asteroids and meteors lately in 2013?
Unfortunately the video has be cut into very late missing the intro, making it appear that the “disclosure” could have been part of another story actually poking fun at an alternative news paper “The Independent” who had released the story days prior. Watch the video and decide for yourself. Purveyors of doom often look to the heavens for their protagonists. During the 1980s, we were briefly captivated by Nemesis, a supposed companion of the Sun that triggered a death-dealing rain of comets every 26 million years. During the 1990s we endured wild speculations about Nibiru, which managed somehow not to destroy Earth in 2003. But the WebBots predicted this Brown Dwarf Star already and it`s flyby. It`s estimated maximal Earth impact date of June-July 2013.
According to futurist Alfred Lambremont Webre, both Clif High’s Web Bots predictions and Dr. Courtney Brown’s remote viewing probes of 2013 are referring to the impact of the 2013 flyby of a brown dwarf star twin to our Sun, commonly called the “Lost Star of Time and Myth”, “Nibiru” or “Planet X”. Neither Clif High nor Dr. Brown mention the Nibiru flyby as a specific cause of the predicted June-July, 2013 global coastal event.
Apparently a joint mission between Europe and the US is about to take place as they together is working on a project to slam a spacecraft into an asteroid in 2022, in a bid to prove that incoming objects from space can be knocked off path and stopped from colliding with earth. Didymos is a ‘binary’, with two asteroids orbiting each other – one is roughly 800 m across, the other about 150 m.
This joint mission between Europe and the US is now in an intensive face, as they working on a project to slam a spacecraft into an asteroid in 2022, in a bid to prove that incoming objects from space can be knocked off path and stopped from colliding with earth. The Joint European/US Asteroid impact and Deflection Assessment mission (AIDA) is preparing to intercept the asteroid Didymos in 2022, when it is about 6.5 million miles (11 million kilometers) from earth. European Space Agency (ESA) Officials announced the plans in a press release on Friday.
“AIDA is not just an asteroid mission, it is also meant as a research platform open to all different mission users,” said Andrés Gálvez, ESA studies manager.
The AIDA researchers are working with scientists from Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory, who are involved in the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART, a $350 million project that has been in development for a decade.
“There is a science aspect to it and a planetary defense aspect to it,” said Andy Cheng, the chief scientist at the Laurel physics laboratory and one of the key brains behind the project.
The target Didymos is actually a binary system, in which an 800 meter wide asteroid and a smaller 150 meter space rock orbit each other. Didymos does not pose a threat to earth in the foreseeable future. The AIDA mission will aim to send a space rocket smashing into the smaller asteroid at about 14,000 mph (22,539 km/h) while another spacecraft records the collision. High powered earth based telescopes will also observe the encounter. Cheng expects the collision to knock the smaller asteroid from its established path around the larger one. This would produce an orbital deflection which is both larger and easier to measure than if the space probe targeted an asteroid circling the sun, according to a preliminary report into the mission released by the European Space Agency (ESA) last year. NASA and ESA jointly published an initial plan for the project last May. NASA has said that if the project goes ahead, they will help the AIDA mission launch ‘the impactor’ – the space vehicle that will blast the asteroid – while the ESA would launch a second spacecraft to assess the impact and observe its effects.
“It is important to note that the target Didymos is not an earth-crossing asteroid, and there is no prospect that the deflection experiment would create an impact hazard,” the report stated.
ESA has asked scientists to propose experiments that could be carried out by the AIDA mission in space, or that could increase the scientific return from the mission on the ground. The defense of the earth against asteroids, which has long been a focus of former astronauts, astronomers and amateur space hobbyists, became dramatically relevant when the largest meteor to hit the planet in a century hurtled towards a lake in Chelyabinsk in the Russian Urals on February 15th, which caused structural damage to buildings and blew glass from windows, injuring 1,500 people.
The largest impact previously recorded took place in 1908, when the Tunguska meteorite flattened more than 800 square miles of forest in Siberia.
This is a short clip of scenes which depict scenarios of the happenings that might take place on April 13, 2036. The asteroid Apophis will come very close to the Earth in 2029, but is predicted to miss. Even so, such a close encounter will apparently still trigger a collision in 2036.
What are they hiding at the coast of long island New York? “Things” have been washed up on shore from there. Strange looking hybrids etc. But this time it’s not some sort of dead animal washing up on the beach down the road from the Plum Island Animal Disease Center. No! this time it’s a human body, found being washed ashore from the facility. This must be investigated more thoroughly, some have tried before but gotten nowhere. Here Jesse Ventura takes a look at it. The center, which began as a bio-warfare lab run by former Nazi scientists, has been blamed among other things for spreading diseases and viruses throughout the mainland, including African swine flu and Lyme disease.
The Washington Post reported Fri, January 15, 2010 the discovery of a clothed male body by a security guard on foot patrol at Plum Island. The body is said to be 6’2″ in length, male, Caucasian, and partially decomposed. Police said there were no obvious signs of trauma, according to the Washington Post. This body looks nothing like the Montauk Monster which like the undetermined species earlier, was the size of a raccoons. Neither do media reports indicate any resemblance between the human body washed ashore at Plum Island and any of the barnyard animals used in the facility’s research. Nevertheless, conspiracy theorists can be counted on to conjure up a link between what they suspect Plum Island researchers do at the tightly secured government facility and the dead body washed ashore at its premises.
Another creature that washed up on the beach..allegedly a mutated rat?
Just the very name (Plum Island) of the place conjures up images from H.G. Wells or Dean Koontz, like strange hybrid creatures creeping through the island’s greenery at night. Popular urban legends tell of carcasses of freakish unknown beasts washing ashore on nearby beaches. And the armed guards pacing the secure facility seem to confirm just about any nefarious rumor you might hear about Plum Island, a government research facility off the shore of New York that intrigues monster hunters, conspiracy theorists, and the merely curious alike. When the corpse of the strange-looking “Montauk Monster” washed ashore in Montauk, NY in 2008, the media’s first speculation was that it could have been a genetic experiment that somehow escaped from Plum Island. More recently, conspiracy theory promoter Jesse Ventura hyped up Plum Island on his television show as some kind of secret biological weapons research lab, that’s not only illegally producing biological weapons, but that also poses an imminent threat to the region should any of these pathogenic compounds be released accidentally. Plum Island seems to have all we need to warrant a close examination with our skeptical eye. What do they actually do at Plum Island, and are there really strange mutant creatures being produced there?
Plum Island’s association with the United States government goes all the way back to the 18th century, when General George Washington recognized its strategic importance. The island is located squarely in the narrow mouth of Long Island Sound, which contains most of New York state’s important harbors. It’s home to the Plum Gut Lighthouse and Fort Terry, constructed in 1897, and used through World War I as an artillery base to protect New York from invading ships. Geographically the island is unimpressive; largely flat, a few low dunes and bluffs, a well wooded strip of island less than 5 kilometers long, and about 840 acres. After World War II, Plum Island’s handy combination of safe isolation from shore plus convenient access made it attractive to the US Army Chemical Corps, which planned and began construction of a facility there. However, those plans were ultimately canceled before construction was complete, and the new buildings were taken over in 1954 by the United States Department of Agriculture to study foot and mouth disease, at what became the Plum Island Animal Disease Center. The strange things that surrounds the Island is still very current today. So the mystery continues.
