Jesse Ventura talks about Tesla's "Death Ray"

I can attest that this technology is already being used against civilians on a low-level setting. I have experienced (and continue to experience) harassment similar to what the old guy with "splotches" on his back experienced. I think technology like this has been used to cause fast-acting cancers in many activists, including Judi Bari.

Good stuff from the Occupy Movement

There's been so much bad news lately, I'm deliberately turning my back to it and trying to focus on the good. Lots of good stuff from Occupy lately. I've already mentioned the terrific work from "Occupy Sandy" who have been sweeping aside bureaucracy and truly helping people in the Northeast storm affected area.

Here's another innovative development I found out about on NHNE-pulse.

Sandy: Bad LSD Trip for the Middle Class-Abandoned By FEMA- Raw Survival Below Freezing

[Here's a post from Portland Indymedia by a regular contributor called "rAT". This is exactly why I advocate getting prepared for natural/economic disasters. The government isn't on our side, folks. In the end we're going to have to help each other out ourselves.]

Welcome to Nassau County, Long Island. One of the nicest, blue/white collar middle-class areas on the now battered East Coast. This is the original 50's "Leave It To Beaver" land, the beta prototype for every Mall, strip-mall, and cookie-cutter dream-home in America. The fabled land of Betty & Veronica, muscle cars, manicured lawns and good schools. These are the people politicians are always trying to appeal to. Why? Because these are the people that pay the largest burden of taxes in the entire nation. Nassau County taxes people to DEATH for everything. It BLEEDS them everytime they turn around. Just going to the beach can cost you $20. Without lunch. Free parking is a fairytale from long ago. Property taxes are beyond Earth orbit. These are the families that supplied all those kids for Vietnam and didn't whine when so many came home in a box. These are the people who grew up poor in the 1930's, that slaved in boring jobs day after day to pay their mortgages and send their kids through college. Many in defense plants. They're patriotic. They bought a new car every ten years. They loved Elvis and JFK. They were/are the lifeblood of the country in many ways. They are catered to by the media as bright, educated NEW YORKERS. Nobody's fools. They switch party allegiance when they like a candidate. They think for themselves a lot more than the elite give them credit for, and take television "suburbia" shows with a big grain of salt. So you would think that FEMA, Northcom, and The Red Cross would be all over the place restoring power and distributing batteries, food, blankets, and medical assistance to the hundreds of thousands who still have zero electricity in freezing, wet weather. The latest blizzard (and that's what it is, though the MSM plays it down) has crippled the entire area. Huge swaths of Long Island, Staten Island, and New Jersey are just annihilated. Total devastation. Frozen garbage everywhere. The media is not really covering the true crazy story as regular everyday citizens cope with loose power lines, frozen water mains, blocked roads, closed stores,roads, etc. It's beginning to look like the siege of Stalingrad. DHS and FEMA have sucked up hundreds of millions in taxpayer money and poured it into useless "security measures" at airports, etc. feeling up Grannies and kids, and wasteful "continuity of government" construction projects so they can all be comfy when the shit really hits the fan. When the chips are down, even the so-called backbone of the nation is left flailing and fending for themselves in a situation just as scary and dangerous as Katrina's aftermath. Where's the Calvary? Even the TV Magazine shows were asking "Can't we do better?" Donald Trump is ready to give Obama $5 million for charity for some stunt, but his relief efforts amounted to re-opening his ugly casinos. First things first. Obama took political advantage of the situation and Christie fell for being his campaign foil in a brilliant media stunt just days before the election. But you'll never see Obama squishing through the sleet in Bethpage or Farmingdale these days. It's going to take YEARS to put these areas back together again as it is. Forcing the poorer inhabitants to go into raw survival mode while the affluent go camping in Florida is a mean trick. All those celebritocracy types bragging about their telethons and fundraisers, yet only one, Lady Gaga, has donated a cool million for relief. All these TV/Film jerkoffs have BILLIONS and they're patting themselves on the back for asking US for dough. Go figure. The moral of all this is simply that the Middle Class is just as completely expendable to the globalist mind as the dirt poor. It's like a bad acid trip for many people, but even a bad trip can wake you up to some strong truth. We're ALL in New Orleans in the long run.

[Note at the bottom of the discussion comments "rAT" talks about "Occupy Sandy" and posts a photo of this new group. Check it out!]

You have to ask the central questions.

A lot of freaky stuff is coming out these days, and I'm starting to see a pattern in how the media is dealing with these "revelations." They take these potentially very revealing events, isolate them from everything else by building obfuscating fences around them, ever after talking endlessly in circles (most recent example: the Petraeus resignation). They want you to get lost in the forest for the trees. Instead of climbing up to high ground to get a view of the whole forest, they want you to focus on an insect crawling around in the bark.

It's true that everything is connected -- some things more than others. Some things are like threads to a homemade sweater -- if you keep pulling, eventually the whole thing comes unraveled. I remember the Jeff Gannon story was a lot like that. It was a strange and seemingly inconsequential thing, until you started pulling at it. And pulling at it. The scandal was just getting hot and juicy when the MSM slammed the lid on it, because it very quickly started delving into forbidden territory. Like the Franklin child sex ring scandal. An eye-witness to a "plane" crashing in the Pentagon. Torture at Abu Ghraib. I can closely connect Gannon to all these things. Late night trysts at the White House? Sleepovers with Tony Blair? Why didn't the media do its job???

One thing I like about the Twelfth Bough is that A. Peasant thinks to ask the big questions, like, "How is it possible, in this age of no privacy, for a super famous guy over the course of decades to get away with what Jimmy Savile has done?" Of couse the answer is Savile is not alone, the entire BBC and Scotland Yard and the British Government -- hell, the World Government, is crawling with slime balls just like him. It's a horrifying thing to contemplate, so people allow their focus to be contained. But we'll never get out of the forest that way. It's time to see the bigger picture.

Well, was it worth it?

Yesterday's election was the most expensive in US history. It's estimated that the amount of money spent on TV ads alone exceeded $1 billion dollars.

I always find it hard to wrap my head around numbers like that, so I looked up this website and found that, if you gave people a twenty dollar bill to feed themselves for a day, you could feed 50 million people that way. I bet there's a lot of cold, hungry people on Staten Island that could use that money right now.

I wonder how the cost of ads exploiting the Big Bird "flap" compare to the actual amount of money the government sets aside for PBS -- a paltry $445 million. Imagine how much $1 billion could have been used for educating people instead of spinning lies and spreading pointless propaganda.

But I guess money *can* buy elections. California just voted to keep themselves in ignorance about whether or not they're eating genetically modified foods. I think that's pretty sick, but they were easily persuaded by the finest lies money can buy.

There oughta be a law -- big money out of elections. But how do you change things when big money already owns our government?

One billion dollars in hundred dollar bills. All spent on the boob tube for this election.

Jesse Ventura's "Conspiracy Theory"

I was glad to hear that the long-awaited 3rd season of former governor Jesse Ventura's investigative television show is returning to Tru TV this coming Wednesday at 10pm. I must say there hasn't been a lot of hype about it, considering how popular his show has been in the past.

Jesse once did a program about HAARP. If you haven't heard about it, HAARP has been long thought by "conspiracy theorists" to be capable of weather modification, including the manipulation of hurricanes. Skip ahead to about 11:30 min. in the following video to see a physical demonstration of this principle. BTW, I noticed Noor over at "Snippits and Snappits" just posted an article that touches on this theme.

You've got to wonder, if we possess the technology (HAARP) that the inventor's own son says is capable of weather modification, and Hurricane Sandy alone has cost the country billions of dollars, why isn't the study of this technology a national discussion right now??? Why aren't they sinking billions into this research? Maybe the answer is, they already have, and just aren't telling us ...
