What’s next?

01/12/2009 by travellerev

After the last few weeks of intense 911 truth activities with the high light of Richard Gage’s presentations in Wellington and Auckland I needed a couple of days of rest and quiet meditation.

But most of all I needed to think about what’s next. More than 750 people in Wellington alone wanted to hear Richard’s presentation and apart from two sad cases all of those were convinced that all was not as we were told but what does that mean?

If the three towers have been brought down by a controlled demolition and not by two planes hijacked by 8 hijackers than who did it and how to confront those in power in order to find out?

In order to understand what we are headed for perhaps this series of video’s made of a confrontation with one of the 9/11 commission members in America is an example of what we are headed for and what we need to engage in.

And Yes I mean in New Zealand too.

Out with the old and in with the new: More remote control for the State in the UK

30/11/2009 by travellerev

Just imagine you would be able to precisely monitor the use of energy in every single home or apartment. Not only that, you would be able to see on what and when the energy was used.

How interesting would that be. You could see if people were using their energy wasteful or frugal. You could see if they were using unusual gadgets on unusual times, when they used their computers whether the kept u usual hours perhaps even that they used electricity to grow dope. Yep it would be a wealth of information and it’s going to happen in the UK.

Every British home is to be issued with a ‘smart’ meter which calculates how much gas or electricity is used each time an appliance is switched on.

Families will also know how much they are spending minute-by-minute.

Details will be announced by the Energy Secretary Ed Miliband this week.

Old-style meters will be ripped out and replaced with the gadgets, which can be programmed to turn appliances on and off to take advantage of off-peak rates.

electric meterOut with the old: Older-style electric meters will be phased out to make way for new ’smart’ meters

Fridges and freezers could be turned off at peak times to save power – but will automatically be switched back on if the temperature inside rises too high.

The utility companies will pay for the £7billion installation programme, though much of the cost is expected to be recouped later from customers.

Mobile phone technology will be used to transmit information on each family’s energy consumption to a central ‘hub’.

The system, to be introduced over the next ten years, will allow power companies to read meters remotely and mean the end of estimated bills.

 

 

Richard Gage on Close up and in Auckland

Richard Gage AIA will make another presentation in Auckland tonight at the Trades Hall, 147 Great North Rd, Grey Lynn, on Monday, the 30th of November, from 6pm.

 

 

 

 

Blair lied to get the UK to partake in the war in Iraq

30/11/2009 by travellerev

Not that you would know from our MSM but in the UK The Chilcot Inquiry into the war in Iraq is unearthing some pretty disturbing fact. yesterday for example the content of a secret letter was disclosed.

The letter written by Attorney General Lord Goldsmith as early as July 2002 a full eight months before the war in Iraq started informed PM Blair that deposing Sadam would be in blatant breach of international law.

That fact alone should see Tony Blair in the war crimes court in the Hague as far as I’m concerned.

——————————————–

An explosive secret letter that exposes how Tony Blair lied over the legality of the Iraq War can be revealed.

The Chilcot Inquiry into the war will interrogate the former Prime Minister over the devastating ’smoking gun’ memo, which warned him in the starkest terms the war was illegal.

The Mail on Sunday can disclose that Attorney General Lord Goldsmith wrote the letter to Mr Blair in July 2002 – a full eight months before the war – telling him that deposing Saddam Hussein was a blatant breach of international law.

It was intended to make Mr Blair call off the invasion, but he ignored it. Instead, a panicking Mr Blair issued instructions to gag Lord Goldsmith, banned him from attending Cabinet meetings and ordered a cover-up to stop the public finding out.

He even concealed the bombshell information from his own Cabinet, fearing it would spark an anti-war revolt. The only people he told were a handful of cronies who were sworn to secrecy.

Lord Goldsmith was so furious at his treatment he threatened to resign – and lost three stone as Mr Blair and his cronies bullied him into backing down.

Sources close to the peer say he was ‘more or less pinned to the wall’ in a Downing Street showdown with two of Mr Blair’s most loyal aides, Lord Falconer and Baroness Morgan.

The revelations follow a series of testimonies by key figures at the Chilcot Inquiry who have questioned Mr Blair’s judgment and honesty, and the legality of the war.

The Mail on Sunday has learned that the inquiry has been given Lord Goldsmith’s explosive letter, and that Mr Blair and the peer are likely to be interrogated about it when they give evidence in the New Year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The recession is over, it’s now a depression.

30/11/2009 by travellerev

While the NZ MSM are blithering on about New Zealand coming out of the recession, let’s have a bit of a reality check shall we?

Fact: New Zealand’s economy relies solely on export.

From dairy, meat, wood to tourism, New Zealand relies on the global economy to keep its economy from going south. Other than that Real Estate has been a major driving force as real jobs were out sourced to third world countries.

Fact: The Global economy is tanking.

36 million people in the US are on food stamps. One in 8 adults and one in 4 children rely on food stamps to give them basic sustenance. That number is increasing by 20.000 people a day.

To give you some idea of how fast the unemployment is growing watch this little video:

Given that the US was driving the global economy with 7 trillion in spending every year that is a huge amount of poverty and people who won’t be spending money on what is essentially luxury exported from New Zealand.

Every camping ground a 150 km around Los Angeles is now inhabited by people who lost their homes and jobs in the last year. apart from a tent and some basic facilities they are homeless More than a 100.000 people are out at night on any given night being homeless and that’s in Los Angeles alone.

In the Bronx people earn a meagre $ 10 an hour if they still have a job.

It is now estimated that more than 50 million people in the US alone can not meet their basic requirements at one time or another per year.

The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are absorbing huge amounts of money (How does 3 trillion sound) which is not spend to save the economy.

More than 600 banks in the US alone are “unofficially” in trouble and the debt crippling the US is now estimated at $ 12 trillion.

The UK is hurdling head long into the biggest depression since the “great depression”. and in rich Holland banks are collapsing, more people than ever are incapable of paying back loans etc and the house prices are going down.

And even stinking rich Dubai is on the verge of total financial collapse which spells huge problems world wide because all of Dubai’s holdings world wide will come down with the little kingdom’s demise.

If you think that China is going to be the next superpower think again. China’s wealth depends entirely on the “developed” nations need for crappy gadgets and if those nations don’t buy China doesn’t produce.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Climategate: The debate clearly is not over but we pay Carbon tax anyway.

26/11/2009 by travellerev

A major scandal broke this week. You wouldn’t know it of course what with the Maori party once again selling their soul to National and the new “let’s bail out the polluters over the backs of the taxpayers ETS law” but with the leaking of emails from Climate Change scientists which show clearly that they have been engaging in unsound science to say the least it has become clear that the debate on climate change is not over.

What is more the emails show a clear disregard for the truth and they show that several high profile climate change scientists have engaged in fraud and smear campaign with regards to their more sceptic colleagues. In fact a programmer who helped program the computer program which was used to test weather models has in the code expressed his concern for the dubious results the program would generate.

In fact it seems even NIWA is engaged in massaging the scientific data to match the required result.

tsmithfield who made a comment on The Standard blog gives a succinct list of the behaviour that is emerging:

What is emerging is an orchestrated effort to:

1. Manipulate and distort data that the authors consider poor or conflicting with their hypothesis.
2. Wilfully conceal or destroy data to prevent it being analysed by other researchers.
3. Manipulate computer code by including arbitrary factors to force the programs to produce the desired results.
4. Attempt to force out editors of journals considered to be too accomodating to scientists with opposing points of view; as one of the articles points out, a number of the editors referred to have subsequently resigned from their positions. As pointed out, the scientists who have been trying to manipulate the freedom of journals to publish what they see fit are the very same scientists who have criticised their opponents for not producing enough published work!

But while this might not reflect well on the scientists professional behaviour we would do well to remember what this “Science” is used for.

Just this weekend a law was passed which will see New Zealanders (and citizens world wide) forced to pay for their carbon emissions since it is the carbon emissions which are widely blamed for the “climate changes”.

Not only that, we will be forced to subsidise big companies so they can continue their carbon emissions while we pay for the Carbon credits and to top it all of we will pay for these carbon credits to rich banks and in fact you could say that we are paying tax because we have the audacity to breath CO2 out.

I don’t know about you but if scientists have been lying about climate change and people like Al Gore have been making hundreds of millions of dollars out of the faux science of Climate change doesn’t that make you fell like you have been had and shouldn’t we reinvestigate what these scientists have been telling us and should we not at least have a discussion between the pro and contra climate change scientists?

 

 

 

Obama Says He Intends to ‘Finish the Job’ in Afghanistan

25/11/2009 by travellerev

Excuse me? What job would that be. Getting the troops out ASAP as per promised on the campaign trail? Ah no, Mr Obama is going to send 34.000 more troops into the Quagmire that is Afghanistan.

I guess that mean he is going to try and kill all the Afghanistan people because that is what he will have to do if he want to stop them fighting his troops. And all that while he just won the Nobel price for peace.

WASHINGTON — President Obama said on Tuesday that he will announce his decision on how many more troops to send to Afghanistan next week, and that it is his intention to “finish the job” that began with the overthrow of the Taliban government in the fall of 2001.

Mr. Obama, offering a tantalizing preview of what looms as one of the momentous decisions of his presidency, said he would tell the American people about “a comprehensive strategy” embracing civilian and diplomatic efforts as well as the continuing military campaign.

While he avoided any hints of the new troop levels he foresees in Afghanistan, the president signaled that he will not be talking about a short-term commitment but rather an effort muscular enough to “dismantle and degrade” the enemy and ensure that “Al Qaeda and its extremist allies cannot operate” in the region.

The propagandisation of Andrew Forster

25/11/2009 by travellerev

Let me start by saying that in no way do I want to insult Andrew Foster or his family. I have no doubt that he was a brave man and that his family have lost their pillar but he died in an unfortunate and horrific death in a peaceful Nation trying to clean up explosives used in an exercise in a peaceful nation.

So why were John Key and Associate Defence Minister Heather Roy so prominently in view at what should have been a private burial?

I can understand the fact that his colleagues wanted to say goodbye or that they wanted to do a haka to pay their respects I could even understand a message of condolences from the minister of Defence and a possible promise to investigate what should have been a fairly routine operation but no, the burial warranted the visit of the Prime Minister no less and he was amongst other dignitaries it is said.

So a man who did not die in an attack by a menacing enemy or who saved his fellow troops in an act of bravery sacrificing himself in the process warrants a massive “honour” with all the whistles and bells and I’m asking why?

If a man who died in an accident while being in military clothes demands such an honour what will happen when the body bags of those actually serving in Afghanistan are coming back?

Days of National mourning perhaps?

Could it be that we are manipulated into a warrior culture building legends around the military so it would become unpatriotic to criticise the fact that we are involved in an illegal war of aggression? If so how cynical and dishonest to use a man such as Andrew Forster and the grief of his family to whip up that kind of sentiment.

About 1000 people gathered at Ohakea Air Force Base today for the funeral of Flight Sergeant Andrew Forster who died after an artillery shell explosion north of Waiouru last week.

Prime Minister John Key and Associate Defence Minister Heather Roy were among the dignitaries at the service, along with family, friends and Defence Force personnel.

Flight Sergeant Forster had served in the air force 27 years. He was 46.

A private family service was held before the public part of proceedings at the gymnasium at Ohakea.

Flight Sergeant Forster’s father George spoke, reading a passage from the Old Testament of the bible. His widow Karen Langvald-Forster and the pair’s three teenage children, Candice, Mitchell and Ashlee all spoke of a committed family man who worked hard separating his work life from his home life.

The family spoke of how they were blessed to have had the time they had with him.

Colleagues performed a haka as his coffin was taken away for burial.

Open letter to Kim Hill

24/11/2009 by travellerev

Dear Kim,

I only just heard your interview with Richard Gage AIA and I want to thank you.

As I travelled to Wellington on Friday I prepared for a possibly under visited event in te Papa museum.
I was finally going to meet one of my heroes in the 9/11 truth movement and I was looking forward to that but I was also realistic and the total media silence on anybody who questions the official conspiracy theory is well documented and I know full well that we are fighting an uphill struggle.

But then there was you!

Last year you interviewed David Ray Griffin and Saturday you had Richard Gage AIA on your show. Awesome.

I did not hear the interview on that morning but I saw what it did for the 9/11 event in the Papa and it was amazing. Thanks to your interview we had so many people wanting to hear the presentation from the horses mouth that we had to turn people away. In fact with over 600 people (300 in the Sounding theatre and another in the Oceania room) it was the most visited ever presentation Richard gage ever made!

What is more, we are now organising an event in Hamilton and Auckland activists have booked the Trades Hall, Grey Lynn to accommodate another presentation by Richard Gage.

Which goes to show Kim that there are more and more people world wide (the film Zero was watched by more than 20 million people when it aired in Russia for example) who have questions about the events of that day 9/11c and every bit of publicity even your appallingly rude and unprofessional interview technique did nothing to dissuade more and more people to investigate for themselves what actually did take place on that fateful day.

So for this I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

As a final remark I would like to ask you a question: If what we are saying is so easily repudiated than how come that no public TV sender has ever had the courage to show for example  “Zero” and encourage a public discourse over the events of that day and why did you not support the new and independent investigation Richard Gage and every 9/11 truther seeks?

We may have some more activists come over in the next couple of years and I sincerely hope that you will interview them as well and I tell you what your can do it anyway you like because clearly people listen to your show and they want to know.

Kind and grateful regards,

Travellerev

 

22/11/2009 by travellerev

Wow,

Who would have thought? Little old New Zealand.

I’m proud of you.

After the dismal interview with Kim Hill 750 people turned up to hear what Richard Gage really had to say. We only had place for 300 but te Papa installed a screen in the Oceania room to accomodate another 300 people and we “only” had to turn a 150 peope away.

50% came to hear Richard because the were sceptical or unsure but our of those 150 (I don’t have the figures for the upstairs room yet) only 3 remained unconvinced.

This was the most visited presentation Richard Gage has ever done. Little old New Zealand, awesome.

You have another chance to meet with this man in Auckland on the 30th of November.

Be there! Especially the sceptics.

Oh, and a big thanks to Gosman, whom I have to say showed himself for the coward he is by not showing up, did arouse massive interest with his hate campaign against Janette Fitzsimmons online.

Cheers mate.

Bilderberger and closed-door meetings: European Union gets medieval with ultra-secret elections

20/11/2009 by travellerev

If you don’t mind me asking: Who the fuck voted for this man to be the First President of the European Union. Nobody knew him until last week and in a whirl wind of sneaky secret meetings the man who said that every European should pay even more tax than they already do is made President.

By whom?

———————————————–

The EU is coming under fire for shunning democratic principles as candidates for top jobs assemble behind closed doors with secret societies as “selection day” approaches.

What does the ultra-secretive Bilderberger Club, Henry Kissinger, and closed-door meetings made up of anonymous politicians, bankers and industrialists have in common with transparency, democratic procedure and open societies?

If you answered ‘nothing’ you would find yourself in rather cozy company. In fact, the European Union’s secretive election process more resembles a Vatican conclave to elect a new pope than a modern experiment in democratic procedure. Indeed, the only thing the EU needs to do now is build a smokestack in Brussels so that a puff of smoke will tell us when their arcane ritual is complete (Note: a top-ranking EU official will defend the process behind the election process at the end of this article).

“After an introductory round of consultations with his fellow heads of state and government, Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt [who holds the EU rotating presidency] has decided to convene an extra informal summit on 19 November,” the EU confirmed in a statement.

At the “extra informal” summit [Read: 5-course dinner], the heads of state and government from 27 EU member states will appoint the president of the European Council, high representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, and secretary-general for the Council Secretariat.

These are three new top EU posts that have been created by the Lisbon Treaty, which will go into force on Dec. 1, 2009 in an effort to bolster the 27-nation bloc’s influence on the international stage. The high level of secrecy surrounding the elections is especially ironic when we consider that the Lisbon Treaty was ostensibly designed to “make the EU more democratic, transparent, and accountable.”

The EU election announcement sparked a frenzy of political activity across the Continent, as politicians dashed off to promote themselves before the cream of the crop of European society.

The international power elite doesn’t even keep up pretences any more. While in America they still have to buy the elections, in Europe they just go for a 5 course dinner and slap each other on the back and appoint a nobody who will do their bidding.

Lord Ashcroft’s ‘links’ with disgraced PM of British territory hit by corruption scandal

20/11/2009 by travellerev

Ooh oops, the same “Lord” Ashcroft who plays Santa Claus, and crime stoppers goody goody over here gets hit by another scandal. Nice idea that this scoundrel makes secret visits to our Prime minister Eh?

Companies linked to Tory billionaire Lord Ashcroft helped finance the lavish lifestyle of a disgraced leader of a corruption-mired British overseas territory, it was claimed today.

The Conservative Party deputy chairman’s British Caribbean Bank (BCB), run by his son Andrew, allegedly advanced a £3million loan to former Turks and Caicos prime minister Michael Misick.

Mr Misick, whose government on the British territory has been suspended by the Foreign Office amid corruption claims, also reportedly had a beachfront mansion built by a construction company associated with the peer.

Lord Ashcroft
Resigned: Former Turks and Caicos premier Michael Misick failed in the UK Court of Appeal earlier this week

Lord Ashcroft and former Turks and Caicos prime minister Michael Misick (right)

Lord Ashcroft, who has given the Tories more than £10million, is said to have extended loans via BCB of more than £200million to finance a development boom on the islands under Mr Misick’s rule.

Revelations of the links between the Ashcrofts and the former premier come amid a period of turmoil on the Caribbean islands.

The British Government has assumed direct rule in August following a report which found a culture of ‘political amorality’.

U.S. police officer uses 50,000 volt Taser gun to subdue 10-year-old girl

20/11/2009 by travellerev

Looking forward to feeling saver with policemen all having tasers?

A police officer who attempted to calm down a 10-year-old girl during a row with her mother used a Taser gun to subdue her.

The victim’s father has accused police of treating his daughter like ‘a dog’.

He claims the police should have been able to contain her without using the stun gun.

The youngster was hit with a 50,000 volt shock after police officer Dustin Bradshaw fired his Taser gun into her back.

After being felled by the powerful electric jolt she collapsed to the floor where she was arrested and faces charges of assaulting a police officer.

 

Goff to end accord on monetary policy

20/11/2009 by travellerev

Does this mean that Goff will come clean about labours complicity in signing over our monetary independency to the privately owned international banking cartel in 1989 with the Federal Reserve act?

Labour leader Phil Goff is calling an end to the 20-year consensus on monetary policy.

Mr Goff is expected to use a hard-hitting speech to Federated Farmers in Wellington today to declare that the Reserve Bank’s policy targets – which influence interest rates and the dollar – are no longer working.

His speech is expected to call for a lift in New Zealand’s export performance and hit out at New Zealand’s volatile exchange rate as the major stumbling block.

The Reserve Bank uses interest rates to curb consumer demand when inflation threatens to breach the 0-3 per cent target agreed to with the Government under a policy targets agreement.

If you want to know were we’re headed have a look at this

20/11/2009 by travellerev

If you want to know were we’re headed have a look at this interview.

more about “As Wall Street Posts Record Profits a…“, posted with vodpod

50 million Americans are regularly coping with lack of food, a quarter of those are children and all that while the bonuses  of the bankers are going through the roof. That’s right the very bankers who sank their banks to the point of having to be bailed out with billions of dollars.

Is it different over here? No.

This article appeared this morning about the financial gamblers luring small time investors into investments into the very financial products our Prime Minister pushed while running the bonds and derivatives department of Merrill Lynch.

Funny how the Bio doesn’t mention that he actually had an office in the Wall street head quarters in New York. Funny that I would have thought that it would merit a mention in a Bio.

You need the ETS, Key warns farmers

19/11/2009 by travellerev

In a classic case of blunt manipulation John Key implements the international Banking carbon tax scam.

We need the ETS because if we don’t accept it it will cost us our reputation as “green” (Blackmail). It is not as much as under labour (Trust us) and besides we just found  $ 60 billion worth of oil so what’s the problem (dangling carrot).

How convenient that we have oil all of a sudden to cover the added Carbon tax debt or are we going to pay ETS tax to extract that too?

Prime Minister John Key warned farmers yesterday that they rejected a response to climate change at their peril – endangering their reputations, future incomes and the economy at the hands of powerful global consumers.

He gave a hard-hitting speech yesterday in Wellington to the Federated Farmers’ National Council.

“Our international reputation with our overseas consumers is at stake,” he said.

“As a trading nation we simply cannot afford to get it wrong.”

While the Government had some sway over access to overseas markets, it could not force consumers to buy New Zealand products if they did not think they measured up to their environmental standards.

“But we can help protect against that possibility. That’s what we believe our emissions trading scheme does and I hope you will see it in that light.”

Richard Gage AIA is coming to New Zealand

19/11/2009 by travellerev

Update: I have just been notified that Richard Gage will also do a presentation in Auckland on Monday 30th of November 6:00 p.m. at the Trades Hall, Grey Lynn. I will post again as soon as I know more.

We are also in the process of organising a meeting in Hamilton.

Here Richard Gage AIA, of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, talks to architect Jan Utzon, son of Joern Utzon, the architect of the Sydney Opera House. Like his father Jan Utzon is and architect and one of the 966 professional architects and engineers who have signed the pettition for a new and independent investigation of the events of 9/11.

Richard Gage AIA is coming to New Zealand this weekend and he will make a presentation of the scientific proof that the three buildings which collapsed on 9/11 2001 did not come down as the result of two planes flying into the Twin towers.

He will also present irrefutable evidence that Nano thermite was used to bring down the three buildings.

For those of you not able to make it to Wellington on Saturday 21th, Kim Hill will be interviewing Richard Gage on her radio program on Saturday 8:10 a.m or maybe hearing Richard’s arguments will convince you to meet the man in the real world. There are 300 places in the soundings theatre and 200 of them have already been pre booked so you will have to be quick to get in.

One degree of separation or how small the bankster world really is

18/11/2009 by travellerev

It's a little old world

In the next couple of weeks  with the help of this map I will uncover more in depth how all these men relate to each other but right from the start you can see that John Key has  some pretty close connections to the bankers who are ruling the US with Obama as their sock puppet. More so than anyone in New Zealand other than perhaps Don Brash.

For starters two names jump out; one is Stephen Belotti, the man who was John Key’s boss from 1996 when John Key started at Merrill Lynch and Robert Rubin who was a high flyer at AIG and at the same time was a member of the foreign exchange committee and “advisory” committee to the Federal Reserve of New York. He was a member of this committee at the same time Stephen Belotti was a member. This is the same committee that selected John Key to become a member in 1999. The only year mentioned on the list is the year of selection but generally members serve three years which would place both of them as leaving the committee at the same time John Key was selected to serve. John Key left the committee in May 2001 when he returned to New Zealand to take up politics.

Robert Rubin was named as on of the 10 most unethical business people in January 2009 by Market watch and is widely recognised as one of Timothy Geithners two mentors. The other is an equally disreputable character, Larry Summers who currently serves as one of Obama’s advisors

Banker meets banker to discuss trade?

Robert Rubin was also involved in an attempt to stop the Enron Bonds from being down graded. Oh oops, Merrill Lynch was involved in an attempt to help Enron to cover up and lie about the state of their company.

Any way back to Timothy Geithner. That would be the same Timothy Geithner John Key met with last week discussing a free trade deal. The same Timothy Geithner who was the Federal Reserve of New York director when the bubbles started to burst.

The same Timothy Geithner who evaded paying tax and the same Timothy Geithner who as the secretary of treasurygives the biggest banker crooks most access to himself and Obama.

And while we’re at it why did the John Key and Timothy Geithner discuss free trade should that not have been with Hillary Clinton who after all is the secretary of foreign affairs?

And doesn’t make you feel somewhat nervous to see our Prime Minister so close to what are arguably the biggest Ponzi schemers and crooks of our time?

9/11 Terrorists get their day in court in New York

18/11/2009 by travellerev

Five alleged 9/11 terrorists are on their way to be tried in New York for their alleged part in the organisation of the events of 9/11.

After eight years in Guantanamo and exposure to torture  which finally made them “confess” to their roles in the attacks we will finally see them in court.

“I am absolutely convinced that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will be subject to the most exacting demands of justice,” President Obama said in Tokyo. “The American people will insist on it and my administration will insist on it.”

 

But what happens if KSM or any of the other 9/11 defendants the Obama administration is bringing to New York for criminal prosecutions — including Ramzi Bin al-Shibh, Walid bin Attash, Ali Abdul Aziz Ali and Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi — are somehow found not guilty?

 

Attorney General Eric Holder brushed off the question, saying, “I would not have authorized the bringing of these prosecutions unless I thought that the outcome — in the outcome we would ultimately be successful.  I will say that I have access to information that has not been publicly released that gives me great confidence that we will be successful in the prosecution of these cases in federal court.”

Not everyone is so confident, of course. KSM, for instance, was subjected to “enhanced interrogation techniques” that many consider torture. This includes being waterboarded 183 times in a month.

Just some New Zealand headlines

18/11/2009 by travellerev

This morning as I do every morning I connected to the Stuff page and the NZH page and read the main news articles.

Today I thought I’d mention some of them.

Like this one: The SIS gives the universities guidelines on how to find students who might be involved with developing Weapons of mass destruction through “illicit science“. What the f*&k?
They even admit that no such thing has ever happened but now teachers and professors have to spy on their students and alert the SIS if they even so much as suspect something.

And what the hell is illicit science?

Here is another one: NZ is the least corrupt country in the world.

I’m sure that is a great relieve to us. Bill double Dipton English and Rodney “I can’t live without my squeeze by my side” Hide weren’t deliberately rorting us, that was not corruption. That was just politicians using their perks.

And what about this one: Ministers take another look at the motorbike levies. Funny that.

It’s apparently one thing to victimise rape victims again by making them go through a humiliating “are you really traumatised by having been violently taken against your will by a total stranger who threatened to kill you if you tried to get away” procedure but to charge a levy from big burly motorbike riders who show up by the thousands when asked to pay a levy for the fact that they wilfully take more risks with their transport than other road users is another.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be rich and we’ll grant you an immediate permanent residency

18/11/2009 by travellerev

I have been married to a Kiwi for 22 years and we have lived together for all that time and just bought a house together. I have lived here for four years never taken a cent from the community and been for all intends and purposes a solid and positive member of my community and I still don’t have a permanent residency .

Now all you have to do is be rich and create three jobs and you’re in like Flynn. Well we all know that rich people need a butler, chauffeur and a full time gardener so that should not be a problem. Especially when you consider that with the recession there are a lot of unemployed in need of a subservient low paying job.

So while the US and with that the worlds economy is collapsing we are to be the “save” islands far away from possible social unrest when the great unwashed are finally waking up to the grand robbery that has been perpetrated upon then while the perpetrators hide out here.

Thousands of wealthy foreigners are lining up to move here, just weeks out from the introduction of business migration laws that will grant them residency almost immediately.

Under a new Entrepreneur Plus immigration category – effective on November 30 – entrepreneurial migrants who create at least three fulltime jobs and invest $500,000 in their business will be offered a fast track to residency.

Currently, entrepreneur migrants are issued with a long-term business permit and can apply for residency only after two years.

Although there is no minimum investment capital required, neither is there a guarantee their residency application will be approved.

The new scheme will grant conditional residence virtually as soon as an application is made.

“There is no time requirement that you must have operated your business for to be successful under this category,” the Immigration New Zealand website says.

Goldman Sachs does God’s work. Heuh?

12/11/2009 by travellerev

For your consideration: trading that does not produce goods and services is a euphemism for gambling.(quote main article)

“The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender” — Proverbs 22:7

“The whole profit of the issuance of money has provided the capital of the great banking business as it exists today. Starting with nothing whatever of their own, they have got the whole world into their debt irredeemably, by a trick.

“This money comes into existence every time the banks ‘lend’ and disappears every time the debt is repaid to them. So that if industry tries to repay, the money of the nation disappears. This is what makes prosperity so ‘dangerous’ as it destroys money just when it is most needed and precipitates a slump.

“There is nothing left now for us but to get ever deeper and deeper into debt to the banking system in order to provide the increasing amounts of money the nation requires for its expansion and growth. An honest money system is the only alternative.” — Frederick Soddy, M.A., F.R.S., Nobel Prize Winner, 1921.

You’ve got to give it to these guys. They are totally awesome in their arrogance.

Bank executives are cashing-in with bonuses from stock options at record rates (again), with the chair and CEO of Goldman Sachs literally claiming that they are doing God’s work (yes, really). Goldman Sachs makes money through “trading.” For analogy, I suggest reviewing the history of another record-setting company for profits that “traded”: Enron. In the two-minute trailer to the documentary, “The smartest guys in the room,” CEO Jeffrey Skilling also says, “We are the good guys. We are on the side of angels.”

About that ship build from “9/11″ Steel or how cynical can you get?

12/11/2009 by travellerev

In my previous post I mention the ship partly build from the steel salvaged from the steel from the collapsed twin towers.

In this post I would like to elucidate on some of the troubling aspects of how this ship came about and how being able to build this ship and use it as a war ship flies in the face of the new physics rules set on that day.

In the weeks after the attacks of 9/11 something remarkable happened. Something that perhaps one day will be recognised for what it really was: The destruction of the biggest crime scene the city of New York had ever seen.

Three, amongst which the two highest towers ever build, had collapsed in freefall speed after having been attacked by two Boeing 727’s flown by 8 young Saudi hijackers who had captuered the planes with nothing more than a couple of box cutters. They had done so because another Saudi lining in a cave in Afhganistan had told them to do so.

The steel from those buildings which had “miraculously” snapped all welds simultaneously to facilitate the free fall speed of 10, 11 and 6 seconds. The length of the steel parts which fell to the ground had equally simultaneously been approximately the same length and was amazingly of the length needed to load them on big trucks to cart them of to China.

In a spontaneously patriotic gesture it was suggested the steel be used to build a warship to fight the enemy over there so the Americans did not have to fight it at home and so it happened.

A magnificent warship only last week entered the harbour of New York to be Christened the MS New York. Grey, Sleek and Invincible and of next year it will travel to far away places to fight “terrorism”.

But something troubles me with all this.

This is after all the steel which did not hold together when a plane build from aluminium filled with a puny amount of kerosene, most of which burned of outside of the buildings within an hour of impact completely lost all its strength!

Within seconds!

Not only that the concrete in which it had been embedded was equally weak in the face of a lightweight aluminium structure hitting it. Even though as the engineers had claimed it had been reinforced and designed to handle just that!

And now this same mysteriously weak steel has been used to build a warship.

A war ship which is supposed to withstand the impacts of explosives, bombs and other ordinance. This ship who will operate in war zones in which it will undoubtedly be attacked with all those young, patriotic souls on it.

Don’t they understand that if all it takes is for two Boeing 727’s loaded with Kerosene to collapse three huge steel framed buildings in freefall speed. the ship build from that same steel won’t stand a chance if a 500 ton Depleted Uranium bomb is dropped on it.

If it responds in the same way it did when embedded in the concrete of the twin towers when hit by planes the parts of the ship build from the twin tower steel will vaporise within seconds upon impact. Imagine; the entire bow of the ship will disappear in seconds. A ship without a bow will sink in seconds. Doesn’t that strike you as incredibly irresponsible to use steel that has a proven track record of disobeying the laws of Physics as we have known them for ever?

Am I alone in observing that there is something either miraculous or something very cynical going on?

 

 

 

 

Remember the Cross found in the “Pile”?

12/11/2009 by travellerev

“The Cross is not about religion, it’s about faith. About faith, love and hope”. Frank Silecchia. (The man who found the cross in the Pile)

Do you remember the cross found in the “pile”? Frank Sileccia, one of the first responders found a cross in the pile in the days after the events of 9/11. It became a symbol of hope and for many the sign that God responded to their prayers.

The cross was formed as two pieces of steel melted together in the intense heat which caused the buildings to collapse into their own footprint within 10 and 11 seconds. Heuh?

The pieces which had not been part of an original structure had melted together as they fell down to the ground and the piece of metal draped over one of the arms was another piece of melted steel caught over the arm as it fell.

So this cross  is a witness to the heat and the speed with which the heat was generated. It was hot enough to weld steel. How in heavens name can an entire building become so hot so quick that it can melt two steel beams together in seconds while thundering to the ground at freefall speed.

Especially since most of the steel was transported to China and had to be melted in special super hot ovens in order to be prepared to be used in a US battleship.

Frank Silecchia would like those questions answered too.

Thank you Frank, for being out there with us.

 

I like Hone and why he should stay.

11/11/2009 by travellerev

I don’t know the man personally but hope to one day shake his hand. I like his stance, his total disregard for political speak and his brutal honesty.

Which is funny since I am as white and middle class as it comes and my ancestors were responsible for the word “apartheid”.

But compared to the glib, hypocritical, disingenuous demeanour of your average National minister and our not so esteemed Bankster Prime Minister he is an absolute breath of fresh air.

I say you go Hone and oh, offer to pay back what you spend on a tiki tour to Paris (beautiful city Eh?) only and only if Double Dipton English pays back the hundreds of thousands of NZ’s tax dollars he falsely claimed for his house in Wellington and all those other piggies (thanks for that list Standard) at the trough do the same.

As for the white mother fucker thing: If my husband got a dollar for every utterance of discrimination against Maori by many of the Pakeha workers he has met in the last four years we could have travelled a fair amount of times to Paris and back. So be my guest if it makes you feel better and if and when we meet I’ll shout you beer, that is if you’ll have it with a white middle class female toa iwi. LOL.

Freedom the cry as leaders vow to fight other walls

11/11/2009 by travellerev

Good to know that “our” leaders have integrity. As far as I’m aware there is only one wall left in the whole wide world: the wall around the Gaza strip. Let’s fight that fucker!!!

The key countries in the Cold War pledged yesterday to fight division and meet the new challenges of the 21st century as Europe marked the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall

In emotional addresses delivered at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate, the leaders of the United States, Russia and Britain joined German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Mikhail Gorbachev, Lech Walesa and envoys from across the 27-nation European Union in saluting the event that changed history.

A crowd of more than 100,000 came to the “Festival of Freedom”, featuring concerts by the city’s classical orchestra and Bon Jovi and saw the toppling of a thousand giant dominoes symbolising the end of Berlin’s 28-year division.

Message to John Key: “These people just want to be left alone’.

11/11/2009 by travellerev

While hundreds of “Taliban” fighters are killed and “president” Karzai claims that mystery planes fly “Taliban” warriors all over the place  and rumours are abound that his brother is a paid CIA stooge, involved in the opium trade the reality is simple; the Afghan people just want to be left alone.

 

Swedish Member Of Parliament: Leading Politicians Support 9/11 Truth Movement

10/11/2009 by travellerev

A Swedish Member of Parliament has pledged support for a new investigation into the events of 9/11, adding that prominent political figures support the view that elements of the U.S. government were involved in staging the attacks.

An article headlined “The U.S. was part of the attack” in the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, highlights comments made by MP Egon Frid of the country’s “Left Party”.

“The U.S. administration knew of the terrorist attack before and was a part of it,” Frid said in an interview with Swedish TV network TV4 on it’s “Kalla Facts” (Hard Facts) programme.

“My curiosity has once again led me in new ways and to top it all, I have new theories about what really happened 9/11″ Frid writes on his blog.

Farmers jump for joy as milk prices go up but are they out of the woods yet?

10/11/2009 by travellerev

Let me start by saying that I’m sincerely happy for those farmers who rely on the price of milk  for their survival. This year at least they won’t go under if the prices hold.

But what if they don’t.

Our mainstream media tell us that we are over the recession. Fonterra’s forecast for the price of milk solids is up and the Consumers confidence is up as are the house prices in Auckland but is this justified?

I’m not an economist but I’m not stupid either so let’s have a look at the news we don’t get in our MSM.

Who is still our biggest customer?

As for most countries the US is our biggest customer and it is important for us that this continue to be so. Why?
the US spend 9 trillion last year. That is phenomenal. Compare that with China the other biggest spender which spend only a paltry 1.3 trillion last year and the third biggest spender India which only spend 645 billion and you get the picture.

We have been told that the US is over it’s recession. The GDP has grown and that so they tell us means that the economy is growing.

But it isn’t. The GDP only stands for the expansion of the gross total money lump to keep it simple but where that money is created is not explained in the figures.

The economy, the real economy, that is the one in which people make stuff that other people need is shrinking and when that happens people stop buying.

The reality is that in the US millions of people are losing their jobs, their houses and their future.
The reality is that in the US millions of people are relying on benefits, have no insurance and medical care and that number is rising dramatically every month.
The reality is that all those people will loose their jobs, not until they have found another job but for years and years because all manufacturing jobs have been “outsourced”.
The reality is that all those countries with those jobs outsourced to them relied on Americans to buy their product and with the American economy collapsing that is not going to happen.

In order to understand the magnitude of the above let’s support that with some figures.

According to the official unemployment figures as many as 10% of the American workforce is unemployed but these figures do not take into account the people who are unemployed for more than three months and those who’ve stopped looking for work. Bloomberg predicts that this figure will grow to more than 13%.

The real unemployment figures are more than 17.5% which means that in the near future the real unemployment will be more like 20%. This means that we are not looking at a mere recession but at a full blown Depression of “Great depression” magnitude with some very important differences.

How many real human beings are we talking about?

We are talking about 16 million people in the US alone. 16 million people with even if they were one of two bread winners have dependants which means that you can easily double that figure of people in dire problems.

Over 7 million jobs have been lost since 2007 and the number is growing with about 300.000 a month.

Those people are all going to loose their benefits after a short period of time and foreclosure numbers are shooting through the roof.

We are talking about millions and millions of people with no future, no means of supporting themselves or their families losing their homes.

One in every 6 workers is now unemployed. That is the reality and it’s only going to get worse.

All those people relying on people to spend money in their little shops or in their expensive shopping mall outlets are going to find that more and more people are going to stay home and not spend money which means a new wave of mass layoffs.

And it gets worse

While in the era of the great depression 80% were living on small family farms and produced their own food now 80% live in urban areas with no access to home grown i.e. free food.

While at the time of the great depression the industrial era was in it’s infancy and the huge range of manufacturing jobs was yet to be developed and the resources seemed endless and cars were only for the rich and everybody wanted one now our resources are depleted, cars are everywhere and manufacturing is gone abroad.

So even with the upward glitch because we are now selling our products to Malaysia I hope that dairy farmer will realise that they need to consolidate and keep out of depth because in the long haul we ain’t seen nothing yet.
