Another ghost sighted along notorious Berks road
By Charles J. Adams III
Reading Eagle
Berks County, PA - In the early days of my 36 years of searching for paranormal events and locales in Berks County, I was apprised of the sighting of a ghostly figure along Belleman’s Church Road near its namesake church.
There are those reading this now who may remember the hours spent walking along that road or camped out in cars seeking the senses others had felt there. Several of us spent a fair amount of time waiting for the ghosts that were said to stroll that roadway.In articles written in a now-defunct weekly newspaper, I had established myself as a ghost hunter and received many leads as to where haunted houses — and roads — may be found. Dozens, and then hundreds, of correspondents shared their experiences with me, and I would often venture out to the sites of their sightings.
One of them was a stretch of Belleman’s Church Road where two ghosts had been spotted by at least four individuals who had contacted me.
To this day, it is only speculated that the ghosts may have been that of Adaline Baver and the man who murdered her in Mohrsville in 1845. Adaline is buried in the Belleman’s Church graveyard.
Apparently the road still is haunted, but as related in a recent e-mail from a woman I shall only refer to as "K," the ghost she saw was not Adaline, who was described as a trim, beautiful young girl.
"K" was driving home from her uncle’s house at around 2 a.m. when she had a most unsettling encounter...

Was 2008 The Beginning of Another Great Depression?
By Kevin G. Hall / McClatchy Newspapers
Sunday, December 28, 2008
WASHINGTON — It wasn’t 1929, but like that infamous year, 2008 is sure to be remembered by economic historians as one unlike any other.
"We had a much simpler financial system back then. The number of wild and crazy things that happened this year is completely without precedent in world history," said Alan Blinder, a Princeton University economics professor and a former vice chairman of the Federal Reserve.
Where to begin? In March, there was the overnight collapse of Wall Street titan Bear Stearns, in hindsight the first domino to fall in what would become a meltdown of the global financial markets.
Maybe July’s record oil prices of $147 a barrel, which helped spark inflation and send food and commodities prices spiraling upward worldwide? That gave Americans gasoline at more than $4 a gallon, and everyone said that gas would never be cheap again. On Wednesday, however, crude oil prices fell to just more than $37 a barrel, and gasoline was down to a nationwide average of $1.66 a gallon, thanks in part to the global downturn.
Then there was September’s government seizure of mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which own or back more than half of all U.S. mortgages. Washington, however, let investment giant Lehman Brothers collapse in a shock wave felt around the globe.
Unfortunately, that’s not the half of it. In September, the Federal Reserve also took an ownership stake in insurance behemoth American International Group, followed by the $700 billion Wall Street rescue package that Congress grudgingly passed in October, with little supervision over how the money would be spent.
Then there were the record nationwide home foreclosures and the 13.2 percent year-over-year drop in median home prices nationwide through November, the biggest drop since, yes, the Great Depression.
Capping off the year, December brought the grim-faced chief executive officers of Detroit’s Big Three automakers begging for a lifeline to avoid bankruptcy. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and his colleagues dropped a benchmark lending rate almost to zero — the lowest ever — in an attempt to thaw the deepest freeze ever seen in the credit markets.
Investors were so averse to risk late this year that the yield on short-term Treasury bonds briefly went negative twice. Yet investors were opting to lose money on them, perceiving Treasuries as the safest investment to have; better to lose a little than risk losing more elsewhere.
"I have been around awhile, and I have never seen the economy decline more rapidly than it has in the past few months," said Lyle Gramley, a Fed governor from 1980 to 1985 and an economic forecaster since 1964.
At 81, Gramley offers the long view. A child during the Great Depression, he remembers seeing able-bodied men reduced to begging.
"I remember men standing in a soup line that was three or four blocks long just for a bowl of soup," he recalled. "People don’t remember how bad things can get."
Back then, federal cluelessness allowed the U.S. economy to slide into the Great Depression. That’s a mistake that Bernanke, a scholar of the Depression, isn’t repeating: He took unprecedented steps — many of them increasingly at odds with the Bush administration’s laissez-faire economic philosophy — throughout the turbulent year.
In March, the Fed began emergency lending to investment banks that it didn’t regulate, later expanding to a wider range of Wall Street players. In a failed bid to arrest declining home prices, the Fed also began buying the complex mortgage bonds that investors didn’t want. No wonder: The bonds were backed by bundles of mortgages whose risk was impossible to assess.
When the broader credit market froze and banks stopped purchasing commercial paper — short-term promissory notes that major U.S. corporations issue to fund their cash-flow needs, such as payroll — the Fed stepped in and began buying them, too.

'Tis The Season To Arrest Christians
Pictured: The demolition of a Christian Church in China in 2006.
December 27, 2008
.
'Tis the season in China to crack down on Christians in house churches, according to a new report from China Aid Association, which says nine Christians were arrested during the Christmas season while re-enacting a nativity play.
.
The organization, which directs its work to helping Christians in the fast-growing faith community inside the communist nation, said in a Christmas Day report that attacks in just the past few days have included those arrests, the threats of house church building demolition and bans on house church meetings.
.
The arrests and threats come just a week after authorities demolished a building used by a Christian church group, leaving nearly a dozen church participants who tried to defend their facility beaten.
.
The government's Christmas attacks were confirmed in two different provinces and another region, the organization said.
.
In Henan province, an eyewitness told China Aid officers from the Public Security Bureau raided a house church Christmas party in the middle of the day on Christmas Eve and detained nine Christian woman.
.
They had been re-enacting the nativity, and police charged the women with "organizing illegal religious activities," the China Aid source reported. The women were being held at the Yucheng County Detention Center, and authorities were demanding fines from family members before they could be released,
.
Authorities in Anhui province were a lot more thorough in their attacks, the organization reported.
.
It started on Dec. 22 when authorities conducted a raid on a Shepherd Fellowship Bible training class linked to a house church in Dongzhi County. The attack force included officers from the Domestic Defense Protection Squad Branch of Chizhou Municipal Public Security Bureau of Anhui Province, the Domestic Defense Protection Squad of Dongzhi County Public Security Bureau, the Yanghu Township Police Station and the Dongzhi County Bureau of Religion.
.
"The Bible training class of 19 students was jointly founded by pastors from house churches in several local counties to train young Christians. More than 10 uniformed police raided the training class and searched its facilities for two hours. Officials showed only their police identification certificates and did not present a search warrant when they searched the rooms," China Aid's report said.
.
That evening, the students and two house church leaders, Zhu Jianguo and Cheng Donglai, were taken to the Public Security Bureau for investigation where they were photographed and videotaped, the report said.
.
"During the interrogation, the Public Security cadres pounded on the desk to scare the Christians and lectured the students with political propaganda in an effort to force the students to say that the church lured them to participate in the study. At about 10 p.m., the students were released, but the two church leaders were not released until about 12 a.m.," China Aid said.
.
The next day police called the church leaders and warned hem to send the students home before government officials arrived at the site of the training, and authorities sealed the house church building, stating that it was an illegal school and the building would be demolished or sold.
.
And in Xinjiang Autonomous Region, China Aid reported, a house church pastor said the church members were forbidden from gathering and he was threatened with arrest and detention in a situation that continued to develop.
.
The ministry organization said expressions of concern over the attacks on Christians at Christmas should be directed to:

Dr. Walter Vieth: The Tower of Babel, Sadam Hussein dead in 1999
Dr Walter J. Veith, B.Sc. (Hons), M.Sc. (cum laude), Ph.D., is a (full) Professor at the University of the Western Cape (Republic of South Africa) where he holds the chair of Zoology.
He is a former athiest, turned Christian.
When we asked how he became a Christian, he said:
Walter Vieth: ‘It’s a long story, but I was an evolutionist, and an atheist. I started to get interested in the subject of Biblical prophecy—for example, prophecies in the book of Daniel, chapter two. They were written long before the events portrayed there, and the kingdoms came in succession just as it says. And the Dead Sea Scrolls seemed to confirm the authenticity and antiquity of the Book of Daniel. So I started to get interested in the rest of Scripture, including Genesis.’

Angel caught in Hospital?
Photo captures image of an 'angel' in hospital hallway
In dark time, mom of Mint Hill teen sees light of hope
By Jane Duckwall
Special Correspondent

Posted: Tuesday, Dec. 23, 2008
When Chelsea Banton was born five weeks prematurely, doctors predicted she had 36 hours to live.
.
Proving them wrong was the first miracle for Chelsea, now an Independence High School freshman.
.
“She spent the first four months in a neonatal intensive care unit,” recalls her mother, Colleen Banton of Mint Hill.
.
Before Chelsea was 2, she was admitted to the hospital for pneumonia, the first of several dangerous run-ins with the illness that have made her a familiar face in Presbyterian's pediatric intensive care unit.
.
Among other health problems in her medical history: hydrocephalus, requiring a shunt in her skull and, later, several shunt revisions; life-threatening viruses; and, this past July, fluid retention that required more than a week's hospitalization and three liters of liquid to be drawn from her body.
.
Prayer has helped sustain the whole family.
.
“We had been praying every day, my oldest daughter and I and Chelsea,” Colleen Banton said. “…Praying for a miracle.”
.
That miracle, Colleen believes, came Nov. 5 – seven weeks after Chelsea was admitted to the hospital for pneumonia.
.
What originally seemed like a bad cold nearly killed her.
.
“She was on life-support from the moment she got there,” her mother said.
.
That was Sept. 21. Over the next six weeks in the hospital, Chelsea faced one threat after another: pneumonia in her left lung, then her right lung, then sepsis, blood clots, staph infections, E. coli, a collapsed lung and feeding problems.
.
In late October, doctors met with the family to discuss “a plan of action,” Colleen said. One of the decisions she had to make was whether she would take Chelsea off the ventilator. Earlier, doctors had removed Chelsea from the ventilator several times, but had replaced it when the struggle to breathe became too difficult for the teen.
.
But a family meeting Oct. 31 was a turning point.
.
“At that point, the family… agreed that when she did come off the ventilator again, (they) weren't putting it back in,” Colleen said. “Whatever happened, would happen.”
.
On Saturday, Nov. 1, “they took her off the ventilator and she did good,” her mother said. “She was breathing on her own.”
.
The next day, “her stats went down,” and doctors put her in an oxygen mask.
.
But over the next few days, Colleen noticed her daughter “wasn't getting better. Things were kind of lingering.”

And Chelsea, who had been having anxiety attacks and crying throughout her hospital stay, was having more of them.
.
“I said, ‘She's been through enough,'” Colleen remembers. “I said, ‘Can we just take her mask off? She's been through enough.'
.
“I wanted to do what the Lord wanted me to do. And I really felt like I've had her for 14 years, and if it's time for her to go to heaven, then I know she'll be healed.”
.
The mask didn't come off immediately, though. They waited until family members had a chance to come to see Chelsea – perhaps for the last time.
.
On the afternoon of Nov. 5, as family and friends prayed about the decision, a nurse practitioner called Colleen's attention to a monitor showing the door to the pediatric intensive care unit.
.
“On the monitor, there was this bright light,” Colleen recalls. “And I looked at it and I said, ‘Oh my goodness! It looks like an angel!”
.
Colleen pointed her digital camera at the monitor to take a photo of the image, but the “first picture wouldn't take.”
.
She tried again and succeeded. The image gave her a peace that stayed with her when hospital staff removed Chelsea's oxygen mask.

.
“Her color was good, and the doctors and nurses were amazed,” Colleen said. “The nurse practitioner who saw the image in the monitor said, ‘I've worked here 15 years, and I've never seen anything like it.'”
.
Chelsea was removed from intensive care on Nov. 14 and went home three days later.
.
Her mother believes it was a miracle – attended by a very real angel bathed in light at the door to the pediatric intensive care unit.
.
“What was so ironic… is it was a rainy day,” Colleen said. “It had been overcast all day. And the sun only came out at that point.”

To those who doubt her story and photograph, Colleen Banton says: “If they doubt it, that's fine. … But I know what I saw, and the picture's untouched. I didn't make it up. That's just something that I believe.

“I believe that more people have changed since this happened. I know I have. I look at things differently than I used to – because I know God is in control.”
.
On Christmas Day, Chelsea will turn 15 – another miracle considering all of the medical trials she's faced, according to her mother.

Food Distribution Takeover In Place Ready Now
I find this odd to say the least from a conspiratorial stand point. When a company is this huge and has a world wide data base like they do, why then has no one heard of them? With all of the products they handle we should know their name like our own.
On their new profile page it states that they are a young Logistics provider, but then several paragraphs down they also claim decades of professional experience.
elitelogistics.org...
www.elitelogisticsgroup.com...
They claim that Elite Logistics 'group' has over 100 years experience in transportation, but was founded in 2003. Now my ex was working for the Food Distribution warehouse in 2003, but they were an already existing business of many years.
However I suppose now that they placed 'group' at the end of Elite, it is a new company, you suppose? I do not believe that for an instant. As a matter of fact my ex is suing Elite for an on the job injury, so I know it's the same company. Just the name has changed to protect the secrecy I mean innocents.
What is confusing to me is that back in 2003 when I googled their company, I got some very interesting information on them which I find no trace of now. They went from claiming everything from diapers to space technology, to a straight transportation company.
In the past I knew they were into pharmaceuticals, paint, clothing, rubber, the materials for space station and satellites, you name it. I find nothing to substantiate this claim. I do remember clearly being floored at what this company had their hands into, and I knew that they were connected to the FBI.
Elite Announces Late Filing of 10-Q for Period Ending February 28, 2003.
Company Profits Elite Announces Late Filing of 10-Q for Period Ending February 28, 2003.
For a company that claims the highest of ability and is shooting for nothing less than a total global market takeover, this is not a good sign...
They can make claims to be the most innovative and technologically advanced Logistic system yet have trouble getting their taxes done on time? I have to add that it is frustrating to 'see' information on a company only to be unable to find that information 6 years later. I will be continuing below how I have put this all together to make the assumption that all the ducks are in a row and we are headed into dangerous and threatning waters in the near future when it comes to the entire Food Distribution Network.

EU space official supports UFO disclosure – says NASA can’t be trusted
Dr. Peter Creola, a retired Swiss chief delegate at the European Space Agency (ESA) and head of the Swiss office for space policies, has joined forces with those who demand the truth about UFOs. ESA is the European version of NASA. On the topic of disclosing the truth about UFOs, Dr. Creola said “…you cannot unconditionally trust NASA.”
Robert Fleischer, Coordinator of Exopolitics Germany praised Dr. Creola by stating “There are not many European high officials who dare to step forward when it comes to the reality of the UFO phenomenon… As chairman of the ‘Ariane Programme Board’, he played a key role in launching the first European carrier missile ‘Ariane’ and has been involved in numerous key projects of ESA.”

Birth Of Christ And The Birth Of America Are Linked
Birth Of Christ And The Birth Of America Are Linked
by Chuck Baldwin
December 23, 2008
NewsWithViews.com
As we approach the celebration of Christ's birth, I am reminded of the words of John Quincy Adams. On July 4, 1837, he spoke these words:
"Why is it that, next to the birthday of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day? ... Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's mission upon earth. That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity, and gave to the world the first irrevocable pledge of the fulfillment of the prophecies announced directly from Heaven at the birth of the Savior and predicted by the greatest of the Hebrew prophets six hundred years before?"
Adams was exactly right: America's birth is directly linked to the birth of our Savior. In fact, the United States of America is the only nation established by Christian people, upon Biblical principles, and dedicated to the purpose of religious liberty. This truth is easily observed within America's earliest history.
America's forebears first established a written covenant with God as early as November 11, 1620, when they penned The Mayflower Compact. It states in part:
"In the name of God, Amen. ... Having undertaken, for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith, and the Honour of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia; do by these presents, solemnly and mutually in the Presence of God and one of another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil Body Politick, for our better Ordering and Preservation, and Furtherance of the Ends aforesaid; And by Virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions and Offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the General good of the Colony; unto which we promise all due submission and obedience."
The sentiments and statements of America's founders make it clear that this nation has enjoyed a love and appreciation for the rights and freedoms recognized in Natural Law that is unique in the annals of human history. No other people have such a heritage.

As we approach the celebration of Christ's birth, I am reminded of the words of John Quincy Adams. On July 4, 1837, he spoke these words:
"Why is it that, next to the birthday of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day? ... Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's mission upon earth. That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity, and gave to the world the first irrevocable pledge of the fulfillment of the prophecies announced directly from Heaven at the birth of the Savior and predicted by the greatest of the Hebrew prophets six hundred years before?"

One thing America's founders could not envision was--after they had paid so terrible a price to purchase our liberties--that the time would come when their posterity would be denied the basic freedoms to publicly express their reverence for God. Never could they have imagined that the day would come when citizens of the sovereign states (each with a state constitution protecting religious liberty) would be denied their right to pray in school, or place Nativity scenes on public property, or hang copies of the Ten Commandments on courthouse walls.

General George S. Patton was assassinated to silence his criticism of allied war leaders claims new book
George S. Patton, America's greatest combat general of the Second World War, was assassinated after the conflict with the connivance of US leaders, according to a new book.
By Tim Shipman in Washington
Last Updated: 5:09PM GMT 21 Dec 2008
The newly unearthed diaries of a colourful assassin for the wartime Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the forerunner of the CIA, reveal that American spy chiefs wanted Patton dead because he was threatening to expose allied collusion with the Russians that cost American lives.
.
The death of General Patton in December 1945, is one of the enduring mysteries of the war era. Although he had suffered serious injuries in a car crash in Manheim, he was thought to be recovering and was on the verge of flying home.
.
But after a decade-long investigation, military historian Robert Wilcox claims that OSS head General "Wild Bill" Donovan ordered a highly decorated marksman called Douglas Bazata to silence Patton, who gloried in the nickname "Old Blood and Guts".
.
His book, "Target Patton", contains interviews with Mr Bazata, who died in 1999, and extracts from his diaries, detailing how he staged the car crash by getting a troop truck to plough into Patton's Cadillac and then shot the general with a low-velocity projectile, which broke his neck while his fellow passengers escaped without a scratch.
.
Mr Bazata also suggested that when Patton began to recover from his injuries, US officials turned a blind eye as agents of the NKVD, the forerunner of the KGB, poisoned the general.
Mr Wilcox told The Sunday Telegraph that when he spoke to Mr Bazata: "He was struggling with himself, all these killings he had done. He confessed to me that he had caused the accident, that he was ordered to do so by Wild Bill Donovan.
.
"Donovan told him: 'We've got a terrible situation with this great patriot, he's out of control and we must save him from himself and from ruining everything the allies have done.' I believe Douglas Bazata. He's a sterling guy."
.
Mr Bazata led an extraordinary life. He was a member of the Jedburghs, the elite unit who parachuted into France to help organise the Resistance in the run up to D-Day in 1944. He earned four purple hearts, a Distinguished Service Cross and the French Croix de Guerre three times over for his efforts.
.
After the war he became a celebrated artist who enjoyed the patronage of Princess Grace of Monaco and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
.
He was friends with Salvador Dali, who painted a portrait of Bazata as Don Quixote.
He ended his career as an aide to President Ronald Reagan's Navy Secretary John Lehman, a member of the 9/11 Commission and adviser to John McCain's presidential campaign.
.
Mr Wilcox also tracked down and interviewed Stephen Skubik, an officer in the Counter-Intelligence Corps of the US Army, who said he learnt that Patton was on Stalin's death list. Skubik repeatedly alerted Donovan, who simply had him sent back to the US.
.
"You have two strong witnesses here," Mr Wilcox said. "The evidence is that the Russians finished the job."
.
The scenario sounds far fetched but Mr Wilcox has assembled a compelling case that US officials had something to hide. At least five documents relating to the car accident have been removed from US archives.

Celebrity auctions hit a new low this week as actress Scarlett Johansson sells her used tissue on eBay. She appeared on NBC's "Tonight" show on Wednesday to promote her new movie, "The Spirit." While chatting with Jay Leno she revealed she had caught a cold from co-star Samuel L. Jackson. When Leno handed her a tissue she said she would sell it on eBay to raise money for the hunger relief charity USA Harvest. A lot of people want to catch her cold, last time I checked the auction had over 70 bids and the tissue was up to nearly $3,500. The auction ends on Monday.

The Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE: KO) is expected to launch a drink this week with an ingredient that has not yet received Food & Drug Administration approval, according to The Wall Street Journal. The new drink is a non-carbonated juice containing a natural, calorie-free sweetener made from the herb stevia.
The FDA has approved stevia only as a dietary supplement, but labeled it an "unsafe food additive" in 1991 because some studies suggested adverse health effects from stevia-based products.

Barack Obama's Stealth Socialism
During his NAACP speech earlier this month, Sen. Obama repeated the term at least four times. "I've been working my entire adult life to help build an America where economic justice is being served," he said at the group's 99th annual convention in Cincinnati.
And as president, "we'll ensure that economic justice is served," he asserted. "That's what this election is about." Obama never spelled out the meaning of the term, but he didn't have to. His audience knew what he meant, judging from its thumping approval.
It's the rest of the public that remains in the dark, which is why we're launching this special educational series.

Under the Radar of Most Americans: A Con-Con Call From Virginia? State Senator Plans to Introduce Constitutional Convention Resolution in 2009
Written by Larry Greenley
Wednesday, 17 December 2008 14:08
Last week multitudes of concerned constitutionalists in Ohio killed a balanced budget amendment (bba) constitutional convention (con-con) resolution in their state legislature. Already this week we can see the early signs of a possible bba con-con call in Virginia in 2009.
The reason for widespread concern over state con-con calls is that 32 of the necessary 34 (two-thirds) states have already approved resolutions asking Congress to call a constitutional convention for the purpose of adding a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution (View the "Beware Article V" video below for reasons why this is a bad idea). Although ten states have already rescinded their bba and other con-con calls in the last 20 years, which means only 22 states should still be considered to have live bba con-con calls, pro con-con forces will almost certainly claim that these rescissions are not valid. Even though the 10th Amendment should guarantee the right of states to rescind their con-con calls, the prudent course is to work to stop any further bba con-con calls.
Yesteday morning local state legislators and business leaders met in Harrisonburg, Virginia at a forum sponsored by the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Independent Business. The four Republican lawmakers in attendance listened to concerns from the business community and outlined steps they would take to protect businesses in the current dangerous economy.
Republican State Senator Emmett Hanger revealed that he plans to sponsor a bill in the 2009 Virginia General Assembly that will "cause a few eyebrows to raise." According to a report on the forum posted today on DNRonline.com (The Daily News Record, Harrisonburg, Va.), Sen. Hanger "wants to get the states to call a constitutional convention to add an amendment to the U.S. Constitution requiring the federal government to balance its budget each year."
So there it is. Virginia state senator Hanger plans to introduce a bba con-con resolution in 2009. Many of the readers of this article have just gone through the con-con scare in Ohio last week, and therefore know what the reasons are for alarm at this new revelation of a planned con-con resolution in Virginia. If you don't already know why a con-con is a very dangerous proposal, then please take at look at this video, "Beware Article V."
U.S. Treasury and Fed Determined to Destroy Dollar and Force Savers to Spend: Investing in a Government Hoping for a U.S. Dollar Collapse.
Tuesday’s action by the Federal Reserve has placed us into the history books. The Fed cut the federal funds rate to an unprecedented 0.25% and gave a rather firm statement that they are prepared to keep the rate at this low level as long as the markets deem it necessary. When asked why they didn’t cut rates down to 0 a Fed official replied that it would help the credit markets run more smoothly. The markets don’t believe that. In fact, the markets have been trading near the zero percent mark for some time now.

It's Coming... Hyperinflation
Federal Reserve sets stage for Weimar-style Hyperinflation
F. William Engdahl
Dec 15, 2008
The Federal Reserve has bluntly refused a request by a major US financial news service to disclose the recipients of more than $2 trillion of emergency loans from US taxpayers and to reveal the assets the central bank is accepting as collateral. Their lawyers resorted to the bizarre argument that they did so to protect 'trade secrets.' Is the secret that the US financial system is de facto bankrupt? The latest Fed move is further indication of the degree of panic and lack of clear strategy within the highest ranks of the US financial institutions. Unprecedented Federal Reserve expansion of the Monetary Base in recent weeks sets the stage for a future Weimar-style hyperinflation perhaps before 2010.
On November 7 Bloomberg filed suit under the US Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requesting details about the terms of eleven new Federal Reserve lending programs created during the deepening financial crisis.
The Fed responded on December 8 claiming it's allowed to withhold internal memos as well as information about 'trade secrets' and 'commercial information.' The central bank did confirm that a records search found 231 pages of documents pertaining to the requests.
The Bernanke Fed in recent weeks has stepped in to take a role that was the original purpose of the Treasury's $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). The difference between a Fed bailout of troubled financial institutions and a Treasury bailout is that central bank loans do not have the oversight safeguards that Congress imposed upon the TARP. Perhaps those are the 'trade secrets the hapless Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke, is so jealously guarding from the public.
Coming hyperinflation?
The total of such emergency Fed lending exceeded $2 trillion on Nov. 6. It had risen by an astonishing 138 percent, or $1.23 trillion, in the 12 weeks since Sept. 14, when central bank governors relaxed collateral standards to accept securities that weren't rated AAA. They did so knowing that on the following day a dramatic shock to the financial system would occur because they, in concert with the Bush Administration, had decided to let it occur.
On September 15 Bernanke, New York Federal Reserve President, Tim Geithner, the new Obama Treasury Secretary-designate, along with the Bush Administration, agreed to let the fourth largest investment bank, Lehman Brothers, go bankrupt, defaulting on untold billions worth of derivatives and other obligations held by investors around the world. That event, as is now widely accepted, triggered a global systemic financial panic as it was no longer clear to anyone what standards the US Government was using to decide which institutions were 'too big to fail' and which were not. Since then the US Treasury Secretary has reversed his policies on bank bailouts repeatedly leading many to believe Henry Paulson and the Washington Administration along with the Fed have lost control.
In response to the deepening crisis, the Bernanke Fed has decided to expand what is technically called the Monetary Base, defined as total bank reserves plus cash in circulation, the basis for potential further high-powered bank lending into the economy. Since the Lehman Bros. default, this money expansion rose dramatically by end October at a year-year rate of growth of 38%, has been without precedent in the 95 year history of the Federal Reserve since its creation in 1913. The previous high growth rate, according to US Federal Reserve data, was 28% in September 1939, as the US was building up industry for the evolving war in Europe.
By the first week of December, that expansion of the monetary base had jumped to a staggering 76% rate in just 3 months. It has gone from $836 billion in December 2007 when the crisis appeared contained, to $1,479 billion in December 2008, an explosion of 76% year-on-year. Moreover, until September 2008, the month of the Lehman Brothers collapse, the Federal Reserve had held the expansion of the Monetary Base virtually flat. The 76% expansion has almost entirely taken place within the past three months, which implies an annualized expansion rate of more than 300%.
Despite this, banks do not lend further, meaning the US economy is in a depression free-fall of a scale not seen since the 1930's. Banks do not lend in large part because under Basle BIS lending rules, they must set aside 8% of their capital against the value of any new commercial loans. Yet the banks have no idea how much of the mortgage and other troubled securities they own are likely to default in the coming months, forcing them to raise huge new sums of capital to remain solvent. It's far 'safer' as they reason to pass on their toxic waste assets to the Fed in return for earning interest on the acquired Treasury paper they now hold. Bank lending is risky in a depression.
Hence the banks exchange $2 trillion of presumed toxic waste securities consisting of Asset-Backed Securities in sub-prime mortgages, stocks and other high-risk credits in exchange for Federal Reserve cash and US Treasury bonds or other Government securities rated (still) AAA, i.e. risk-free. The result is that the Federal Reserve is holding some $2 trillion in largely junk paper from the financial system. Borrowers include Lehman Brothers, Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase, the US's largest bank by assets. Banks oppose any release of information because that might signal 'weakness' and spur short-selling or a run by depositors.
Making the situation even more drastic is the banking model used first by US banks beginning in the late 1970's for raising deposits, namely the acquiring of 'wholesale deposits' by borrowing from other banks on the overnight interbank market. The collapse in confidence since the Lehman Bros. default is so extreme that no bank anywhere, dares trust any other bank enough to borrow. That leaves only traditional retail deposits from private and corporate savings or checking accounts.
To replace wholesale deposits with retail deposits is a process that in the best of times will take years, not weeks. Understandably, the Federal Reserve does not want to discuss this. That is clearly also behind their blunt refusal to reveal the nature of their $2 trillion assets acquired from member banks and other financial institutions. Simply put, were the Fed to reveal to the public precisely what 'collateral' they held from the banks, the public would know the potential losses that the government may take.
Congress is demanding more transparency from the Federal Reserve and US Treasury on its bailout lending. On December 10 in Congressional hearings by the House Financial Services Committee, Representative David Scott, a Georgia Democrat, said Americans had 'been bamboozled,' slang for defrauded.

Raids on Seeds (LIFE, itself) ... by Monsanto
by Linn Cohen-Cole
MONSANTO'S DESTRUCTION OF SEED CLEANERS AND THE IMMENSE THREAT TO HUMAN ACCESS TO SEEDS
I have been reporting on the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture's raids on Mennonite dairy farmers, on the recent Ohio Department of Agriculture SWAT team raid on an organic coop, on the USDA's terrible weapon against all farmers with animals (NAIS - the National Animal Identification System) - trying to give an idea of the destructive forces being used intentionally against non-corporate farming.
But unless one sees what is happening to seeds themselves, one misses the scope of things.
Life itself depends on seeds.
Multinational biotech corporations such as Monsanto have been genetically engineering them, promoting GE-seeds as producing better yields, helping the starving of the world, using less pesticides and as a boon to small farmers.
Independent studies already show crop failures
http://www.i-sis.org.uk/IBTCF.php
http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/July06/Bt.cotton.China.ssl.htmland
and a link between GE-crops and organ damage and various
diseases
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=LEN20080222&articleId=8148
and it's clear they are designed to require petroleum-based pesticides and the use of pesticides has gone up with their use.
http://www.pan-international.org/panint/files/WG2%20Genetic%20Engineering%20and%20Pesticides.pdf
But even if the GE-seeds were wonderful and all that was promised, the real problem with them are the patents they come with. The biotech companies are monopolizing seeds themselves, actually privatizing the DNA of life. They sell the GE-seeds at many times the price of normal seeds. In India, where Bt-cotton farmers have been committing suicide in huge numbers because of debt, Monsanto sells Bt-cotton seed at 1000% higher than normal seeds. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1082559/The-GM-genocide-Thousands-Indian-farmers-committing-suicide-using-genetically-modified-crops.html.
And the seeds come with a contract that must be signed, preventing farmers from collecting seeds off their own land at the end of the season - an historic rupture of humankind's free access to natural growth. For it is important to notice that the biotech multinationals are not just claiming a patent on their process of altering the seeds but claim to own growth itself.
As astounding a move as that is on human resources of survival, they are doing more. They are removing actively and aggressively and thoroughly removing access to normal "open pollinated" seeds, the ones we have known since the beginning of time, that farmers have collected and saved and shared among each other.
In the Midwest, where Monsanto sells GE-corn and GE-soy and now owns most of it, it also bought up the "normal seed" companies so farmers no longer have places to go for normal corn or soy. And though GE-corn cross pollinates over miles and miles with normal corn so maintaining organic corn is nearly impossible now, if its GE-crop is found on a farmer's land, Monsanto sues. It's a rare farmer who can stand up them, even if the farmer has done nothing wrong.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Schmeiser
Having bought up the normal seed companies, having locked farmers in the Midwest (only an example, it is true worldwide) into patent contracts that remove their right to collect seeds anymore, having set loose a biotechnology that contaminates normal seeds of farmers who do not buy into the patented seeds, having made plain it will sue if even a volunteer plant comes up, Monsanto is now working to eliminate the last man standing between humans and corporate privatized seeds - the seed cleaner.

They are removing actively and aggressively and thoroughly removing access to normal "open pollinated" seeds, the ones we have known since the beginning of time, that farmers have collected and saved and shared among each other.
In the Midwest, where Monsanto sells GE-corn and GE-soy and now owns most of it, it also bought up the "normal seed" companies so farmers no longer have places to go for normal corn or soy. And though GE-corn cross pollinates over miles and miles with normal corn so maintaining organic corn is nearly impossible now, if its GE-crop is found on a farmer's land, Monsanto sues. It's a rare farmer who can stand up them, even if the farmer has done nothing wrong.

Having bought up the normal seed companies, having locked farmers in the Midwest (only an example, it is true worldwide) into patent contracts that remove their right to collect seeds anymore, having set loose a biotechnology that contaminates normal seeds of farmers who do not buy into the patented seeds, having made plain it will sue if even a volunteer plant comes up, Monsanto is now working to eliminate the last man standing between humans and corporate privatized seeds - the seed cleaner.

Amero to become USA’s new currency when dollar collapses
.
Pictures of the new currency that will supposedly replace the US dollar have appeared on the Russian Internet. The United States is reportedly working on the new currency, the amero, which will be common for the USA, Mexico and Canada. The unstable financial situation in the world, the collapsing oil prices and the growing foreign debt of the United States may eventually crush the US dollar as the world’s major currency. Needless to say that the US authorities reject the rumors and promise to keep the dollar afloat.
.
Amero notes have no portraits of US presidents on them and resemble the Belarusian rubles. For example, there is an image of a deer depicted on a 50-amero note, whereas a picture of a pyramid of Mexican Indians can be seen on a 100-amero note.
.
The amero follows the model of the European Union and its euro. It brings up the idea that the new currency can be adopted by the USA, Canada and Mexico within the scope of the North American Union, which the Bush administration established in 2005 under the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP).
.
On April 6, 2005, the US Treasury announced the formation of the Financial Services Working Group to assist in the SPP’s ‘prosperity’ plans. According to its own press release, the US Treasury’s Financial Services Working Group said it “will play a critical role in the SPP.”
Conspiracy theorists contend that the governments of the United States, Canada, and Mexico are already taking steps to implement such a currency, as part of a “North American Union (NAU)” No current members of any country’s government have officially stated a desire to create such a body, nor introduce a common currency.
.
The idea for a North American currency union was first proposed in 1999 by Canadian economist Herbert G. Grubel. A senior fellow of the conservative Fraser Institute think-tank, he published a book titled The Case for the Amero in September 1999, the year that the euro became a virtual currency. Another Canadian think-tank, the C.D. Howe Institute, advocates the creation of a shared currency between Canada and the United States .
.
After the report came out, center-left nationalist groups in Canada expressed their opposition to any currency union because they view it as an attempt by American businesses to gain access to Canada ’s extensive natural resources while dismantling the nation’s social services. The 100,000 member strong Council of Canadians, a progressive advocacy group, has declared one of its central issues to be the threat of “deep integration”.
.
Dr. Robert Pastor, in a 2001 book, suggested a common currency should be a foundation of “macro economic cooperation” among the three NAFTA countries. However, the 2005 Independent Task Force on North America, which he chaired, did not recommend a common currency, nor does Pastor in the section for additional and dissenting views suggest a common currency should be a goal.

Big names hit by Madoff case losses
U.S. homes lose $2 trillion in value in '08
New York manufacturing index plunges
In spite of all the propaganda aimed at discrediting me and my theory of gold backwardation, what we are hearing is the shrill sound of the fire-alarm indicating that the house of the international monetary system is on fire. For many a year I have been warning all those who cared to listen that such a fire-alarm was coming sooner or later, and the consequences of ignoring it would be disastrous. Well, it is sounding loud and clear now, and guess what. Fire-fighters brazenly ignore it. Yet you can ignore it at your own peril.

Ok, thought the headline would grab your attention.
Where was the Secret Service? If he had a third shoe, he probably could have thrown that one too! Amazing.

The Great Physician
Man believes prayers revived him
By Erin McKeon

ANGLETON — After Alfred Thane suffered a heart attack and passed out, he awoke smiling and surrounded by angels.
“When I woke up, I was feeling perfectly well, no pains or anything,” the 74-year-old Thane said. “The first thing in my mind was, ‘If this is the way the Lord wants me to go, this is the way I want to go,’ because I had no pain.”
Thane believes God was looking after him that day a week before Thanksgiving at Ginger’s Salon in Angleton, where a blocked artery caused him to slump in his chair while getting a haircut. He knows for sure the people in the shop saw to it the Lord was at hand.
A mix of salon employees and customers encircled Thane and prayed over him while waiting for an ambulance to arrive, salon owner Ginger Cooksey said. An unusual calm filled the normally bustling shop.
“There were like eight women that were surrounding him when I arrived, and I told them to back off of him so I could get to him,” said Angleton police officer Janet Heckler, one of the first people to respond to the 911 call from the salon. “I lost him. He was dead. I couldn’t get his pulse.”
Just after they got him moved from the chair to the floor so Heckler could start CPR, Thane’s eyes opened. Heckler said she hadn’t started compressions yet and has never seen a recovery from a heart attack like Thane experienced.
“I can’t even explain it because whenever he came to, he said, ‘I’m fine, I’m not hurting,’” Heckler said. “You would think that after you lost your heartbeat, you’d feel weak or something. It wasn’t me at all because I didn’t do anything. I’ve never seen anything like that in my life.”
Thane fully believes the prayer of those eight God-fearing women saved his life, something not doubted by those who were there.
“I saw a miracle,” Cooksey said. “I saw corporate prayer in action. We didn’t do anything. The Lord worked through us, and it was unbelievable — the power of the Lord.”
Cooksey said every day the phone rings endlessly, but during Thane’s attack it didn’t ring once. That calm reinforces her belief there was a higher power at work.
“Our telephone rings every five minutes in that salon,” Cooksey said. “We’re a busy salon, but our phone didn’t ring for 30 minutes, and no one’s cell phone went off.”
Thane was taken to the hospital by ambulance, and a visit to his cardiologist proved he’d had a heart attack, he said. Doctors put a stent in his artery to clear up the blockage, Thane said.
A few days later, he was released from the hospital and says he feels fine now.

Peter the Great’s lost ship found?
Archaeologists from St Petersburg have discovered a ship in the Gulf of Finland that probably belonged to the fleet of Russian Emperor, Peter the Great. Meanwhile, the ship is lying right on the route of the Nord Stream pipeline, which is currently under construction.

Are they getting sloppy?
Are the globalist elite getting sloppy or do they feel that the media has a 'de-sensitizing' ability to cloak their actions?
First, we had the 'virtues' of Masonry on display in the National Treasure movie franchise. In fact, in the second movie, Ed Harris played the descendant of Albert Pike. Pike, one of the fathers of Freemasonry, wrote in his book Morals & Dogma (any Mason can tell you that this is the 'bible' of Masonry):
LUCIFER, the Light-bearer! Strange
and mysterious name to give to the
Spirit of Darknesss! Lucifer, the Son
of the Morning! Is it he who
bears the Light, and with its
splendors intolerable blinds feeble,
sensual or selfish Souls ? Doubt it
not!

Now, we have the new Tom Hanks movie, Angels & Demons, that talks about the Illuminati.

I believe the latter is true. I believe that they think that these types of propaganda movies will cause people to throw truth into the garbage. After all, wasn't it the first movie in this series, The Da Vinci Code, that tried to cast doubt on Jesus Christ?
Something to think about, isn't it?
Something to think about for those who think!
