How the Swine Flu Vaccine Will Become Mandatory and Why Most Citizens Will Take It
Below is a hypothesized timeline on how the H1N1 vaccine will become mandatory which will eventually lead to having a RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chip implanted in your hand. If the following events occur, perhaps it will help you to understand how you could be manipulated into taking the vaccine if you are currently undecided or even if you are dead set against taking it.
1. Test lethality of H5N1 (bird flu) virus in injectable form - June 08
In June '08, 21 out of 350 homeless people in Poland died after being injected with the H5N1 (bird flu) vaccine. See link below (1. Vaccine Trial in Poland).
It is my supposition that eugenicists, elites who believe the human race should be depopulated in order to save the planet's ecosystem, were attempting to find the correct dosage of H5N1 (bird flu) virus required to cause death. Google/YouTube elite eugenicists want to depopulate to learn more.
2. Introduce H1N1 (swine flu) virus into the population - March 09
In late April of 2009, the swine flu breaks out in Mexico City. Scientists said the virus combines genetic material from pigs, birds and humans that researchers have not seen before. We are very, very concerned, World Health Organization spokesman Thomas Abraham said. We have what appears to be a novel (new) virus and it has spread from human to human. See link below (2. Swine Flu is Man Made).
3. Declare World Health Organization Level 6 Pandemic - June 09
The purpose of declaring a Level 6 pandemic is to provide vaccines to the 194 countries which are members of the WHO, especially the undeveloped countries who could not develop nor afford the vaccines. The goal of the WHO is to produce 3 billion H1N1 vaccines within the next year.
4. Develop and manufacture the H1N1 vaccine - June09 to Present
The US government ordered 195 million H1N1 vaccines for this years flu season. Since only 195 million vaccines were ordered and the population of the US is 300 million, there will not be enough vaccines for everyone. Couple this fact with the fact that no states have yet signed into law mandatory H1N1 vaccinations, it is unlikely the vaccine will be made mandatory this flu season. However, the number of doses could be increased by mixing the vaccines with a squalene adjuvant, and in the event of a deadly mutation, emergency laws could be passed quickly. For more information on squalene adjuvant, see the message below entitled They Want to Inject Me with the Same Stuff that Caused Gulf War Syndrome?
5. Hype the vaccine - July 09 to Present
As of October 11, 2009, the World Health Organization reports that 3406 people have died from the swine flu virus in the Americas, which includes South, Central and North America. The combined population of these regions is around 960 million people. According the CDC, the common flu kills over 35,000 people per year in the United States alone. So why is there all this media hype about how important it is to have the H1N1 vaccine? See link below (3. Just Get Your Damn Vaccine (excellent video)).
Also, learn how the mainstream media is owned by a handful of people by researching keywords controlled mainstream media. These few people dictate what the "talking heads" read off their teleprompts. Most of the general population simply assumes without question that the information being presented is accurate. See link below (4. The Controlled Media).
6. Introduce live H1N1 virus mist vaccine and spread the virus more - October 5, 2009
The first of the H1N1 vaccines were distributed on October 5. These vaccines were the inhalable mist type which contain live H1N1 virus and are sprayed into the nose. It seems to me that this would make people contagious and spread the virus even more. In fact, some school districts have refused to use this type of vaccine. See link below (5. CDC Admits Nasal Spray is Contagious).
7. Introduce injectable H1N1 vaccines - October 15, 2009
On October 15 the injectable vaccines were released. As previously mentioned, the US government ordered a total of 195 million doses, and since there are over 300 million people in the US, there will not be enough vaccines for everyone. Currently, there is allegedly a delay in vaccine production. I have already seen long lines on television. Long lines for anything create a type of herd hysteria; e.g. movies, concerts, Christmas toys. People think to themselves Wow, look at that long line. Am I missing out on something?
8. President Obama officially declares Swine Flu a National emergency October 23, 2009
Obama wrote in the declaration, "As a nation, we have prepared at all levels of government, and as individuals and communities, taking unprecedented steps to counter the emerging pandemic." Notice the wording the emerging pandemic.
When the president declares a national emergency, two constitutional rights are subject to revocation:
•The right of habeas corpus
•The right to a grand jury for members of the National Guard when in actual service
Habeas corpus is a writ through which a person can seek relief from unlawful detention; i.e. quarantine. It has historically been an important instrument for the safeguarding of individual freedom against arbitrary state action.
9. Deadly pandemic begins in the Ukraine October 30, 2009
There is a deadly pandemic occurring in the Ukraine. It is unknown whether this is a H1N1 mutation or something different. In August, Joseph Moshe called into the Dr True Ott Show on Republic Broadcasting and claiming he was a microbiologist who wanted to hand over evidence to a States Attorney regarding tainted H1N1 vaccines being produced by Baxter International in the Ukraine (the same country that is currently having a deadly pandemic). He claimed that Baxter's lab was actually preparing a bio-weapon disguised as a vaccine. See links below (6. YouTube 205,000 sick in Ukraine Swine Flu Pneumonic Plague; 7. Joseph Moshe Arrested Ukraine New Pandemic ; 8. Has Baxter Released A Bio-Weapon In Ukraine?).
10. Aerial spraying begins in the United States? Nov 09
There have been several reports by US citizens of low flying planes being heard in the early morning going back and forth over towns in Iowa and Wisconsin. Are US citizens are being sprayed with a substance that causes a flu-like disease? See link below (9. Aerial Spraying in Wisconsin; 10. Polk County, Iowa Coroner Were Seeing Hemorrhagic Bloody Lungs; 11. Global Chemtrail Attack 2009 excellent video
11. Insert a fractional percentage of live H5N1 (bird flu) virus into injectable batches of H1N1 vaccines Dec 09
I surmise within several weeks of the initiation of the swine flu vaccine injection, the percentage of people who die after supposedly contracting the virus will rise ever so slightly, such that very few of us will suspect that the vaccines have anything to do with the increase in the mortality rate. But what will really be causing the increase in deaths is that a tiny percentage (less than 1%) of the vaccines will contain the lethal H5N1 (bird flu) virus that was tested on the homeless in Poland.
12. Media mentions that the death rate has increased. Note that the death rate prior to vaccinations was 1.2% Dec 09
The mainstream media will spin this slight increase in deaths by saying the H1N1 virus may have mutated into something more deadly, and that scientist are monitoring the situation very closely. They will also say that it is more important than ever to get the swine flu vaccine, because although the virus may have mutated, the vaccine is still your best bet for protection. However, there will still be a vaccine shortage and the media will be showing long lines throughout the country to hype the herd. See link below (12. H1N1 Mutation Discovered in Norway; 13. China Confirms A/H1N1 Mutations; 14. More than 1,000 deaths in past week from H1N1 World Health Organization on 11/27/09
13. Increase the percentage of live H5N1 (bird flu) virus in vaccines and aerial spraying to increase death rate to 2% - Jan 09
Most likely there will be one or two major cities where the deadly H5N1 vaccine will be given to a higher percentage of the population to create the illusion of a virus that is highly contagious.
14. Media begins to really hype virus mutation Jan 09
This is when the real hype will begin as the media will be covering the swine flu pandemic nonstop stating that the virus continues to mutate into something more deadly. But still, there is a vaccine shortage. Long lines are everywhere. As you can imagine, a shortage of something that can supposedly save your life will be a very high-demand item.
15. Continue to increase the percentage of live H5N1 (bird flu) virus in vaccines and aerial spraying to increase death rate to 3% - Jan-Feb 10
16. The media is now stating There is no question, the virus has mutated and if you do not get the H1N1 vaccine, you will be endangering your family, friends, coworkers and anyone else you may come into contact with. Jan-Feb10
There will be reports of rioting at vaccine distribution locations. Perhaps you will even hear about right-wing militia groups stealing the vaccine. This will be a complete fabrication, unless of course the militia group is stealing the vaccine to destroy it. Regardless, it will be the excuse the government will use to get the National Guard and perhaps even the military involved in protecting distribution centers.
17. Continue to increase the percentage of live H5N1 (bird flu) virus in vaccines and aerial spraying to increase death rate to 4% - Feb-Mar 10
18. Flu season ends with H1N1 death rate at 4 to 5% - Mar-Apr 10
19. Media hypes mandatory H1N1 vaccination stating we need to create a herd immunity to protect those who cannot take the vaccines because of compromised immune systems - Spring 10 thru Summer 10
You will begin to see a lot of media hype that the vaccine should become mandatory for the next flu season. The media will tell us that it is important for everyone to take the vaccine so that we can develop a herd immunity. This will not be true because for the flu virus, herd immunity is impossible as it mutates too rapidly.
According to Wikipedia, the following diseases have herd immunity thresholds: diphtheria, measles, mumps, pertussis, polio, rubella and smallpox. Notice there is no mention of influenza. See link below (14. Herd Immunity).
The media will begin stating that if you do not get the H1N1 vaccine, you will be endangering those with suppressed immune systems who cannot be vaccinated (e.g. newborns, HIV infected, organ transplantees, chemotherapy patients, etc). People who claim the vaccine is harmful will be ridiculed by the media as paranoid and will be labeled as a danger to society, i.e. a terrorist. And because habeas corpus will have been suspended by then, they will be detained without due process.
20. States begin to pass legislation making H1N1 vaccination mandatory - Summer 10
The Model State Emergency Health Powers Act, drafted in October of 2001, provides a guideline for states to use when legislating mandatory vaccination laws.
1.Force persons to be vaccinated, treated, or quarantined for infectious diseases.
2.Impose fines and penalties to enforce their orders.
3.Preempt existing state laws, rules and regulations, including those relating to privacy, medical licensure, and property rights (i.e. your property could be seized).
4.Mobilize all or any part of the organized militia into service to the state to help enforce the state's orders.
5.Ration firearms, food, fuel and alcoholic beverages, as well as other commodities.
6.Track and share an individual's personal health information, including genetic information (RFID?).
Massachusetts already has a mandatory vaccination law that has passed both their House and Senate and is awaiting the signature of Governor Deval. The law states that if you do not take the vaccine you can be fined $1000 per day and you could also be quarantined and your property could be seized (the reason for property seizure would be it is contaminated with a deadly virus). Other states will begin to follow the precedence set by Massachusetts. See link below (15. Massachusetts Mandatory Vaccination Law; 16. Iowa Quarantine Order).
21. All states will have mandatory H1N1 vaccination laws in place - September 10
So here we are in the flu season of 2010. The vaccine has been made mandatory in the USA and perhaps even world-wide. The public is panicked, but the government is ready this time. They have enough vaccinations for everyone. Most likely the vaccines will have a squalene adjuvant in them and it will be justified as necessary in order to provide enough vaccines for everyone. For more information on squalene adjuvant, see the message below entitled They Want to Inject Me with the Same Stuff that Caused Gulf War Syndrome?
22. Mandatory vaccinations begin and 90% of population agrees to take the vaccine. You will be identified as having taken the vaccine by an RFID bracelet - October 10 thru January 11
Even if you have had the vaccination last flu season, the government will say you need another one just as you do with the regular flu because the virus has mutated. I am guessing that upwards of 90 percent of Americans will be receptive to taking the vaccine because of the increased death rate and because they believe the herd immunity deception. There will be no religious or philosophical exceptions.
There are several YouTube videos where people, some claiming to be military personnel, are saying the military is practicing road blocks and will give people a choice of being vaccinated or sent to a FEMA quarantine camp. They are also saying that you will be required to wear an RFID bracelet that proves you have taken the vaccine. See links below (17. RFID Bracelet; 18. Military Roadblocks).
23. If you have not taken the vaccine by January 1, 2011, you will be forcefully quarantined January 11 until Complete
I am guessing that about ten percent of US citizens will refuse to take the vaccine and will become outcasts and will be hunted down and quarantined. See links below (19. Fox News Mass Quarantines, 20. FEMA
Camps, 21. FEMA coffins, 22. Mass Graves).
24. RFID Chip will be inserted into your body 2012 until complete
Once all the people who refused to take the vaccine have been rounded up and dealt with and those who took the vaccine have become comfortable wearing their RFID bracelet, there will be a push to have the RFID chips implanted in the hand. By this time, the RFID bracelet will be linked to databases that contain medical records as well as financial information. Without an RFID, it will not be possible to participate in commerce; i.e. one will not be able to buy or sell. There will be many alleged cases of peoples bracelets being stolen and the obvious solution is to implant the RFID chip into the hand. See links below (23. IBM RFID Commercial, 24. RFID Commercial, 25. RFID Implantation).
25. Timeline Conclusion
So there it is. The plan is to reduce world population and chip those who remain. The first culling of the population will begin by forcing vaccines on the people. Naturally, those who refuse to take the vaccine would sure as heck refuse to have a chip implanted in them. So, it would make sense to identify these people and remove them from the population first. Those who remain will think, what a shame, if only they were not so paranoid and had taken the vaccine. But the vaccinations will continue because the virus will allegedly continue to mutate and people will continue to be killed off by vaccination until the world population is deemed to be at an acceptable level by the eugenicists. According to the Georgia Guidestones, that acceptable population will be 500 million people. Currently, there 6.8 billion people, so that would mean 6.3 billion people would have to be eliminated. See link below (26. Georgia Guidestones).
26. We must resist!
I know the way I have described this sequence of events seems bleak, but there is hope! If the vaccines are made mandatory, we must resist. If enough of us stand up and say no to the vaccine, then some of those who lacked the courage to say no will find their strength in numbers. And then, some of those who were pretty much clueless about why anyone would refuse the vaccine will also begin to awaken. And then even more people will rise up until there is a mass awakening and We the People will re-establish our Constitutional Republic and take our country back from the international banking cartels (see link below (27. Money as debt)) and live peacefully as truly free human beings.
So I encourage everyone who reads this to take some kind of action. If you think this is a bunch of nonsense, take the action to research the links I have provided. If you become convinced or are already convinced that these events could happen, spread the word in whatever way you feel works for you. Above all, believe that we will be successful in our resistance because faith can move mountains! But do not wait. Now is the time to act. The government already has plans to limit internet bandwidth to non-essential websites in the event of a pandemic. The rationale is that so many people will be at home due to the pandemic that the internet will be clogged with game players and joy seekers. I am pretty sure YouTube, where the real news can be found, will be considered one of those non-essential websites. See link below (28. SEC and Homeland Security need Web backup).

They Want to Inject Me With the Same Stuff that Caused Gulf War Syndrome?
A squalene adjuvant was used in anthrax vaccines and is what caused Gulf War Syndrome, an autoimmune disease. Symptoms attributed to Gulf War Syndrome include chronic fatigue, loss of muscle control, headaches, dizziness and loss of balance, memory problems, muscle and joint pain, indigestion, skin problems, shortness of breath, insulin resistance, brain cancer, fibromyalgia, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease).
The purpose of an adjuvant is to increase the effectiveness of a vaccine thereby making it less costly to produce more vaccine. However, a squalene-based adjuvant is detrimental to human health. The human body has natural squalene within it, but when squalene is injected unnaturally into muscle tissue, the body sees it as a foreign substance and creates antibodies to destroy all squalene within the body and this results in an autoimmune disorder.
Once your immune system creates squalene antibodies, these antibodies will continue to attack the natural squalene in your body indefinitely. You will be sick the rest of your life and your life will most definitely be shortened.
Go to US Department of Health and Human Services via this link
http://www.hhs.gov/news/press/2009pres/07/20090713b.html (Humans and Health Services government site)
and see that over $400 million was spent on bulk oil and water adjuvants for the H1N1 vaccine. The bulk oil adjuvant is squalene. Currently, government officials claim that no squalene will be in the H1N1 vaccine, but they say that could change if the virus becomes more deadly and there becomes a need to increase the production of the vaccine. It seems to me that the government must be pretty sure the virus is going mutate; why else would they spend nearly half of a billion dollars on adjuvants?
Listed below are several links which discuss the H1N1 vaccination and the squalene adjuvant.

Campbell vs. the US: Comprehensive Federal Lawsuit Against Forced Vaccinations
http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/government/judicial_and_courts/news.php?q=1256406141
Excerpt: There presently exists a bank-based transnational corporate criminal conspiracy to violate the fundamental constitutional rights and wellbeing of the American people, including those of the plaintiff, through fraudulent political, legal and financial contracts in the form of surreptitiously signed/enacted international treaties and federal laws/executive orders enabling the mandated imposition of bio-weaponized H1N1 influenza vaccinations and quarantines/detentions through martial law. The aforementioned measures, being fraudulent, are therefore null and void, with no legitimate power to be enforced by any government, national or international, upon the American people.

The Decade Of Tyrrany
The Decade Of Tyranny
Loss of basic freedoms has spurred a mass awakening, next decade will be defined by restoration of liberties
Alex Jones, Steve Watson and Paul Watson
Prisonplanet.com
Tuesday, Dec 29, 2009
During the first nine years of the new millennium we have been witness to a rapid erosion of freedom. Our basic liberties have been systematically denigrated and diluted by a vast expansion of coordinated global tyranny.
The decade is not over yet, there is still another year to go, however, given that the mainstream media is obsessively compiling it’s own decade lists, we felt it necessary to draw up our own to highlight the major events that have shaped the world we now live in and the future we face.
It is important to stress the fact that while we have indeed experienced a decade of tyranny, we have also seen a mass awakening, an expansion of knowledge and an exponential increase in opposition to the agenda we have come to know as the new world order.
Here in chronological order, follow’s Prisonplanet.com’s defining moments of the decade.
2001 – 9/11
9/11 was the precursor for everything that followed during the decade of tyranny. The immediate invasion of Afghanistan saw the U.S. go to war without a formal declaration.
The passage of the USA PATRIOT Act overnight, with members of Congress not even being afforded time to read it, paved the way for a decade of freedom stripping government legislation.
The expansion of the phony war on terror as justification for big government, a domestic police state and an interventionist foreign policy also stemmed directly from 9/11.
Over the past decade we have ceaselessly exposed the lies behind 9/11. We have seen the 9/11 truth movement blossom from the efforts of a select few individuals to encompass the work of thousands.
While there is no doubt 9/11 is the decade of tyranny’s defining moment, exposing the truth behind it has also led to to an equally influential awakening that is still ongoing.
2002 – Creation Of The Department of Homeland Security
The fallout of 9/11 led to a re-alignment of power in the U.S., with the shadow government stepping out into the open and implementing elements of a long term agenda to subvert Constitutional freedom.
After the passage of the PATRIOT Act in late 2001, the next major step toward tyranny came with the expansion of the federal government through the creation of the DHS.
The DHS has played the role of the domestic police state enforcer agency, encompassing every major law enforcement agency in the nation under one single office.
With multiple subsequent reports and video productions fingering the American people as potential terrorists, the Orwellian titled agency has proven it has nothing to do with security and everything to do with limiting the freedoms of people all over the country.
2003 – Invasion Of Iraq
The March 2003 invasion of Iraq was a war based on a mountain of lies and deceit, and yet at the time the public swallowed the propaganda with wanton bloodlust. The constant invocation of a link between 9/11 and Saddam Hussein was repeatedly debunked both before and after the invasion, but the course for war was set.
The invasion was an illegal attack based on a wholly contrived pretext and the war was not approved by Congress. This set the precedent for unconstitutional global pre-emptive strikes in the name of the war on terror. Conservative estimates put the death told as a result of the invasion at around 655,000, but this number is far higher when the previous years sanctions are taken into account. Upon U.S. occupation of the country, Iraq was turned into one giant gulag, with hundreds of thousands detained and held in internment camps for the most menial offenses.
The occupation of Iraq provided the opportunity to build hundreds of military bases to be used as launch pads for future pre-emptive wars in the key geopolitical region of the Middle East.
2004 – The Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal
The Abu Ghraib torture scandal was shocking for two primary reasons. The first being the treatment of the prisoners themselves, the vast majority of whom were innocents caught up in random sweeps who had nothing to do with insurgents or terrorism whatsoever. However, the photographs that were broadcast around the world only scratched the surface of the the true horror of what happened not just at Abu Ghraib, but what happened and continues to occur at dozens of U.S. torture camps around the world where suspects are illegally kidnapped and imprisoned on a whim via a process euphemistically labeled “rendition”.
The second most disturbing aspect to the story was how the media covered it and how the public’s reaction was carefully manipulated. By only showing the most mild examples of torture, which in reality were disgusting but to a public immersed in violent movies and television were seen as tame, the true depth of the scandal, as revealed in the Taguba military report, was disguised. Abu Ghraib was also about inoculating the public against the idea that torture was something only history’s despotic regimes engaged in. To many who have been completely brainwashed by this tyranny – torture is now as American as Mom and apple pie.
Low-level culprits in the scandal were burned while their superiors who ordered them to torture in complete violation of both the U.S. constitution and the Geneva Conventions were protected by the Bush administration and continue to be protected by Obama who has failed to fulfil his election promise that they would be prosecuted and that similar detention sites like Guantanamo Bay would be closed.
2005 – Hurricane Katrina Fallout
The disaster in New Orleans provided the federal government with the perfect opportunity to wargame a martial law takeover.
Emergency preparedness legislation and FEMA executive orders that have been in effect for decades, were suddenly put into use at the expense of basic freedoms.
The Posse Comitatus Act was overturned as active duty military paraded the streets and aided police in confiscating firearms and implementing mandatory evacuation orders.
The precedent has now been set for natural disasters to constitute broad sweeping changes to ancient laws and rights, overturning and replacing basic liberties with repressive mechanisms of government control.
2006 – Liquid Bombing Scam
The biggest story of 2006 was undoubtedly the staged liquid bomb plot, which led to tighter restrictions on carrying fluids aboard airliners and heralded a new wave of invasive technologies to be implemented in airports and eventually introduced on a day-to-day basis.
Despite the fact that the alleged terrorists involved in the plot to explode multiple airliners were closely tracked for months beforehand, added to the fact that they didn’t have flight tickets or even passports, it was announced on August 10th that authorities had busted the plot amidst a wave of propaganda about continuing the war on terror, similar to what we are hearing in the aftermath of the Christmas Day bombing attempt.
According to news reports the British government and MI5 wanted to wait at least a week before busting the liquid terror cell that their agents had fully infiltrated, including planting a mole within the bomb squad. From the acknowledged timeline and admission that the real attack was scheduled for August 16th – little else can be deduced but the shocking fact that MI5 wanted the bombings to go forward – arresting the perpetrators only after the attack.
A deluge of fearmongering and paranoia ensued, with ridiculous measures hastily enforced in airports which remain with us to this day, such as mothers being forced to drink their own bottled breast milk to prove it is not an explosive liquid.
2007 – Ron Paul Revolution, The Rise Of The Resistance
After years of endless war, economic decline and suppression of basic freedoms, 2007 saw a mobilization of resistance amid a clamor for change.
With a presidential election looming, Congressman Ron Paul, a public representative with an immaculate record, emerged as an icon of counteraction against the growth of big government and the erosion of liberty.
Beginning as an underground phenomenon driven by grassroots activists, the Ron Paul Revolution soon became a mainstream talking point and the Congressman was propelled to the forefront of the debate over America’s future.
Of course, big money and the monopoly of power eventually won out, so the 2008 election saw a new new world order puppet installed in the shape of Barack Obama.
However, Ron Paul’s incredible efforts throughout 2007 and 2008 during his presidential campaign provided a platform for the restoration of liberty and proved that the electoral process has not been completely usurped by those who have shown they have no allegiance to we the people.
2008 – The Bailout Heist
In October 2008, the central banks that own the U.S. government set the course for the most egregious looting of the American public in history with the passage of the TARP “bailout” legislation.
The bailout merely increased the severity of the financial downturn and allowed the same elite to exploit the crisis as a pretext for centralizing control of the world economic system and creating a new world order and a single global currency.
Henry Paulson, one of the chief architects of the bailout and the man who committed financial terrorism by threatening the Congress with martial law and food riots if they didn’t pass the initial TARP package, brazenly pocketed $200 million in Goldman Sachs profits tax free while handing out billions in ill-gotten gains to his bankster buddies, all this after he pulled a bait and switch by changing the entire focus of the bailout from buying up toxic debt to giving money directly to financial institutions.
Following the election of Barack Obama in November 2008, the new President’s actions made it abundantly clear that he would pick up where the Bush administration left off, increasing the looting exponentially to a figure well over $24 trillion by the latest estimates, which don’t even account for the last 6 months.
2009 – Acceleration of World Government
2009 represents the year that the agenda for a world government was both openly announced and the acceleration of its implementation reached breakneck speed as globalists exploited both the engineered financial crisis and the contrived global warming scam to move to finalize total dictatorial control over the planet.
In an October New York Times editorial entitled “We Can Do It,” Ki-moon wrote that efforts to impose restrictions on CO2 emissions “Must include an equitable global governance structure.”
New EU President Herman Van Rompuy said in a December press conference that the Copenhagen conference was, “The first step towards the global management of our planet.”
Similarly, Al Gore said in a speech earlier this year that attempts to regulate CO2 emissions would be driven through “global governance and global agreements.”
Although it failed to ram through a large portion of the global government agenda, the Copenhagen agreement laid the foundation for the introduction of a global transaction tax which would be paid to the World Bank, representing a massive transfer of wealth to the new world government now being primed for total takeover.
Ten years ago, people who warned about a coming new world order bossed by a global government were called paranoid conspiracy theorists. Is the march towards a one world government still a conspiracy theory, even as its architects openly announce its implementation?
The Decade of Freedom?
The battle between tyranny and freedom is a long term game of brinkmanship, however, as we move into 2010, we are reaching a crucial time in modern history. Humanity must decide whether to engage in a battle for freedom or accept a future under the rule of tyranny.

Ireland Goes Cashless

National Irish moves to cashless banking
PAUL CULLEN Consumer Affairs Correspondent
IT MIGHT sound like a contradiction in terms, but for the first time one of the main Irish consumer banks is moving to cashless banking in all its branches.
National Irish Bank has written to thousands of its customers this month informing them of a “new style of banking” in which branches will not handle over-the-counter cash transactions.
The letter says branches will no longer handle cash withdrawals and lodgements, night safe lodgements and foreign currency cash. Branches will continue to lodge cheques, drafts and postal orders and issue drafts.
Customers are advised to obtain cash from “ATMs nationwide” or to seek “cash-back” on their debit cards.
A spokesman confirmed that cashless banking was being introduced across the entire NIB branch network over the next 18 months, and had already been introduced successfully in a number of branches. He said the feedback from customers was positive with few complaints.
“These branches provide better security for staff and allow us to spend more time, in a better setting, with our customers . . . Customers like them, as our staff have more time to discuss customers’ overall needs.”
However, NIB customer Frank Barry from Malahide described the change as hilarious and ridiculous: “A bank refusing to accept cash . . . I thought that’s what they are for?”
Mr Barry contacted The Irish Times after his wife Catherine Gralton received two letters informing her that the local branch would stop handling cash from next February.
“If I did have a cash lodgement, I would have to go to another bank, buy a bank draft and then go to NIB to lodge it,” he said.
An NIB spokesman said the changes followed the model used by NIB’s parent, Danish-owned Danske Bank. Cashless banking is far more common in Scandinavia. while Irish dependence on cash is among the highest in Europe.
The spokesman said it recognised that some business customers may need to lodge and withdraw cash and it would offer these a number of options.
However, he declined to say what these options were, citing security reasons.
NIB announced earlier this month it was cutting 150 jobs and closing 25 of the bank’s 58 branches because of the recession and changes in the banking sector.
ACC Bank, which specialises in business lending, has also moved to cashless operations.
The Irish Banking Federation said it was not aware of any other main banks introducing cashless banking at this stage, though a spokesman added that “they would all love to”.
Handling cash is more expensive than the non-cash alternatives such as internet banking or debit and credit cards.
Cash also poses greater security threats for the banks, whereas consumers bear many of the risks associated with non-cash transactions.
NIB in particular has suffered a number of high-profile robberies and one of the branches it has already converted to cashless banking, on Dublin’s Howth Road, was the scene of a so-called tiger robbery in 2006
2010 Global War
2010: U.S. To Wage War Throughout The World
by Rick Rozoff
http://www.uruknet.de/index.php?p=m61673&hd=&size=1&l=e
Stop Nato, December 31, 2009
January 1 will usher in the last year of the first decade of a new millennium and ten consecutive years of the United States conducting war in the Greater Middle East.
Beginning with the October 7, 2001 missile and bomb attacks on Afghanistan, American combat operations abroad have not ceased for a year, a month, a week or a day in the 21st century.
The Afghan war, the U.S.'s first air and ground conflict in Asia since the disastrous wars in Vietnam and Cambodia in the 1960s and early 1970s and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's first land war and Asian campaign, began during the end of the 2001 war in Macedonia launched from NATO-occupied Kosovo, one in which the role of U.S. military personnel is still to be properly exposed [1] and addressed and which led to the displacement of almost 10 percent of the nation's population.
In the first case Washington invaded a nation in the name of combating terrorism; in the second it abetted cross-border terrorism. Similarly, in 1991 the U.S. and its Western allies attacked Iraqi forces in Kuwait and launched devastating and deadly cruise missile attacks and bombing sorties inside Iraq in the name of preserving the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of Kuwait, and in 1999 waged a 78-day bombing assault against Yugoslavia to override and fatally undermine the principles of territorial integrity and national sovereignty in the name of the casus belli of the day, so-called humanitarian intervention.
Two years later humanitarian war, as abhorrent an oxymoron as the world has ever witnessed, gave way to the global war on terror(ism), with the U.S. and its NATO allies again reversing course but continuing to wage wars of aggression and "wars of opportunity" as they saw fit, contradictions and logic, precedents and international law notwithstanding.
Several never fully acknowledged counterinsurgency campaigns, some ongoing - Colombia - and some new - Yemen - later, the U.S. invaded Iraq in March of 2003 with a "coalition of the willing" comprised mainly of Eastern European NATO candidate nations (now almost all full members of the world's only military bloc as a result of their service).
The Pentagon has also deployed special forces and other troops to the Philippines and launched naval, helicopter and missile attacks inside Somalia as well as assisting the Ethiopian invasion of that nation in 2006. Washington also arms, trains and supports the armed forces of Djibouti in their border war with Eritrea. In fact Djibouti hosts the U.S.'s only permanent military installation in Africa to date [2], Camp Lemonier, a United States Naval Expeditionary Base and home to the Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA), placed under the new U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) when it was launched on October 1, 2008. The area of responsibility of the Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa takes in the nations of Djibouti, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya, Seychelles, Somalia, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Yemen and as "areas of interest" the Comoros, Mauritius and Madagascar.
That is, much of the western shores of the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean, among the most geostrategically important parts of the world. [3]
U.S. troops, aerial drones, warships, planes and helicopters are active throughout that vast tract of land and water.
With senator and once almost vice president Joseph Lieberman's threat on December 27 that "Yemen will be tomorrow's war" [4] and former Southern Command chief and NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe Wesley Clark's two days later that "Maybe we need to put some boots on the ground there," [5] it is evident that America's new war for the new year has already been identified. In fact in mid-December U.S. warplanes participated in the bombing of a village in northern Yemen that cost the lives of 120 civilians as well as wounding 44 more [6] and a week later "A US fighter jet...carried out multiple airstrikes on the home of a senior official in Yemen's northern rugged province of Sa'ada...." [7]
The pretext for undertaking a war in Yemen in earnest is currently the serio-comic "attempted terrorist attack" by a young Nigerian national on a passenger airliner outside of Detroit on Christmas Day. The deadly U.S. bombing of the Yemeni village mentioned above occurred ten days earlier and moreover was in the north of the nation, although Washington claims al-Qaeda cells are operating in the other end of the country. [8]
Asia, Africa and the Middle East are not the only battlegrounds where the Pentagon is active. On October 30 of 2009 the U.S. signed an agreement with the government of Colombia to acquire the essentially unlimited and unrestricted use of seven new military bases in the South American nation, including sites within immediate striking distance of both Venezuela and Ecuador. [9] American intelligence, special forces and other personnel will be complicit in ongoing counterinsurgency operations against the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in the nation's south as well as in rendering assistance to Washington's Colombian proxy for attacks inside Ecuador and Venezuela that will be portrayed as aimed at FARC forces in the two states.
Targeting two linchpins of and ultimately the entire Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA), Washington is laying the groundwork for a potential military conflagration in South and Central America and the Caribbean. After the U.S.-supported coup in Honduras on June 28, that nation has announced it will be the first ALBA member state to ever withdraw from the Alliance and the Pentagon will retain, perhaps expand, its military presence at the Soto Cano Air Base there.
A few days ago "The Colombian government...announced it is building a new military base on its border with Venezuela and has activated six new airborne battalions" [10] and shortly afterward Dutch member of parliament Harry van Bommel "claimed that US spy planes are using an airbase on the Netherlands Antilles island of Curaçao" [11] off the Venezuelan coast.
In October a U.S. armed forces publication revealed that the Pentagon will spend $110 million to modernize and expand seven new military bases in Bulgaria and Romania, across the Black Sea from Russia, where it will station initial contingents of over 4,000 troops. [12]
In early December the U.S. signed a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) with Poland, which borders the Russian Kaliningrad territory, that "allows for the United States military to station American troops and military equipment on Polish territory." [13] The U.S. military forces will operate Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) and Standard Missile 3 (SM-3) batteries as part of the Pentagon's global interceptor missile system.
At approximately the same time President Obama pressured Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to base missile shield components in his country. "We discussed the continuing role that we can play as NATO allies in strengthening Turkey's profile within NATO and coordinating more effectively on critical issues like missile defense," [14] in the American leader's words.
"Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has hinted his government does not view Tehran [Iran] as a potential missile threat for Turkey at this point. But analysts say if a joint NATO missile shield is developed, such a move could force Ankara to join the mechanism." [15]
2010 will see the first foreign troops deployed to Poland since the breakup of the Warsaw Pact in 1991 and the installation of the U.S's "stronger, swifter and smarter" (also Obama's words) interceptor missiles and radar facilities in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and the South Caucasus. [16]
U.S. troop strength in Afghanistan, site of the longest and most wide-scale war in the world, will top 100,000 early in 2010 and with another 50,000 plus troops from other NATO nations and assorted "vassals and tributaries" (Zbigniew Brzezinski) will represent the largest military deployment in any war zone in the world.
American and NATO drone missile and helicopter gunship attacks in Pakistan will also increase, as will U.S. counterinsurgency operations in the Philippines and Somalia along with those in Yemen where CIA and Army special forces are already involved.
U.S. military websites recently announced that there have been 3.3 million deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq since 2001 with 2 million U.S. service members sent to the two war zones. [17]
In this still young millennium American soldiers have also deployed in the hundreds of thousands to new bases and conflict and post-conflict zones in Albania, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Colombia, Djibouti, Georgia, Israel, Jordan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia, Mali, the Philippines, Romania, Uganda and Uzbekistan.
In 2010 they will be sent abroad in even larger numbers to man airbases and missile sites, supervise and participate in counterinsurgency operations throughout the world against disparate rebel groups, many of them secular, and wage combat operations in South Asia and elsewhere. They will be stationed on warships and submarines equipped with cruise and long-range nuclear missiles and with aircraft carrier strike groups prowling the world's seas and oceans.
They will construct and expand bases from Europe to Central and South Asia, Africa to South America, the Middle East to Oceania. With the exception of Guam and Vicenza in Italy, where the Pentagon is massively expanding existing installations, all the facilities in question are in nations and even regions of the world where the U.S. military has never before ensconced itself. Practically all the new encampments will be forward bases used for operations "down range," generally to the east and south of NATO-dominated Europe.
U.S. military personnel will be assigned to the new Global Strike Command and for expanded patrols and war games in the Arctic Circle. They will serve under the Missile Defense Agency to consolidate a worldwide interceptor missile network that will facilitate a nuclear first strike capability and will extend that system into space, the final frontier in the drive to achieve military full spectrum dominance.
American troops will continue to fan out to most all parts of the world. Everywhere, that is, except to their own nation's borders.

I totally agree with this post - I'm as surprised that it hasn't CHAMPIONED AN AWAKENING of the planet to the evils of CORPORATE WAR FOR PROFIT, which is all the last century has been. CONGLOMERATION. RESTRUCTURING. CONSOLIDATION of the plan to rule the world from a central hub interface that You The People willingly subscribe to. The simple fact is, "They can't be tyrants if we don't let them."
It's that easy.
We need to stop thinking this is a safe and sane and stable world. It's not.

"There are some plain common-sense considerations applicable to all these attempts at world planning. They can be briefly stated: 1. To talk of blueprints for the future or building a world order is, if properly understood, suggestive, but it is also dangerous. Societies grow far more truly than they are built. A constitution for a new world order is never like a blueprint for a skyscraper."
Norman Thomas, in his book What Is Our Destiny? (1944)

"The United Nations, he told an audience at Harvard University, 'has not been able--nor can it be able--to shape a new world order which events so compellingly demand.' ... The new world order that will answer economic, military, and political problems, he said, 'urgently requires, I believe, that the United States take the leadership among all free peoples to make the underlying concepts and aspirations of national sovereignty truly meaningful through the federal approach."

"He [President Nixon] spoke of the talks as a beginning, saying nothing more about the prospects for future contacts and merely reiterating the belief he brought to China that both nations share an interest in peace and building 'a new world order."
Excerpt from an article in The New York Times (February 1972)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If instant world government, Charter review, and a greatly strengthened International Court do not provide the answers, what hope for progress is there? The answer will not satisfy those who seek simple solutions to complex problems, but it comes down essentially to this: The hope for the foreseeable lies, not in building up a few ambitious central institutions of universal membership and general jurisdiction as was envisaged at the end of the last war, but rather in the much more decentralized, disorderly and pragmatic process of inventing or adapting institutions of limited jurisdiction and selected membership to deal with specific problems on a case-by-case basis ... In short, the 'house of world order' will have to be built from the bottom up rather than f rom the top down. It will look like a great 'booming, buzzing confusion,' to use William James' famous description of reality, but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault."
Richard N. Gardner, in Foreign Affairs (April 1974)

"To keep global resource use within prudent limits while the poor raise their living standards, affluent societies need to consume less.
Population, consumption, technology, development, and the environment are linked in complex relationships that bear closely on human welfare in the global neighbourhood. Their effective and equitable management calls for a systemic, long-term, global approach guided by the principle of sustainable development, which has been the central lesson from the mounting ecological dangers of recent times. Its universal application is a priority among the tasks of global governance."

"[E]ducation should aim not so much at acquisition of knowledge. . . [today] there is less need to know the content of information. . . . [There should be a] transformation of life in totality . . .

[whereas capitalism] lays the foundation of rivalry and aggression and encourages exaggerated consumption, [making] man a slave of ambition and social status symbols. . . [lifelong learning promotes] equality of end result, and not merely of opportunity . . . [and] fosters equality in terms of opinions, aspirations, motivation, and so on. . . . There is a dilemma -- if lifelong education were to be based on the aim of increasing the yield of business enterprises and economic growth, it would merely serve to establish a totalitarian, one-dimension society."

"There does exist and has existed for a generation, an international . . . network which operates, to some extent, in the way the radical right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups and frequently does so. I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies . . . but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known."

"The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self created screen....At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties."

"We need a program of psychosurgery for political control of our society. The purpose is physical control of the mind. Everyone who deviates from the given norm can be surgically mutilated. The individual may think that the most important reality is his own existence, but this is only his personal point of view. . . Man does not have the right to develop his own mind. . . . We must electronically control the brain. Someday armies and generals will be controlled by electronic stimulation of the brain."

"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."
Hermann Goering, President of the Reichstag, Nazi Party, and Luftwaffe Commander in Chief

Reported by Deutsche Press Agentur (DPA), August, 1988.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I just wonder what it would be like to be reincarnated in an animal whose species had been so reduced in numbers than it was in danger of extinction. What would be its feelings toward the human species whose population explosion had denied it somewhere to exist....

"We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."
David Rockefeller, Baden-Baden, Germany 1991

"We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations a new world order, a world where the rule of law, not the rule of the jungle, governs the conduct of nations. When we are successful, and we will be, we have a real chance at this new world order, an order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the U.N.'s founders."
President George Bush, 1991

"Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government."

"In total, during the first eighty-eight years of this century, almost 170 million men, women, and children have been shot, beaten, tortured, knifed, burned, starved, frozen, crushed, or worked to death; buried alive, drowned, hung, bombed, or killed in any other of the myriad ways governments have inflicted death on unarmed, helpless citizens and foreigners.

"There are some plain common-sense considerations applicable to all these attempts at world planning. They can be briefly stated: 1. To talk of blueprints for the future or building a world order is, if properly understood, suggestive, but it is also dangerous. Societies grow far more truly than they are built. A constitution for a new world order is never like a blueprint for a skyscraper."

"The United Nations, he told an audience at Harvard University, 'has not been able--nor can it be able--to shape a new world order which events so compellingly demand.' ... The new world order that will answer economic, military, and political problems, he said, 'urgently requires, I believe, that the United States take the leadership among all free peoples to make the underlying concepts and aspirations of national sovereignty truly meaningful through the federal approach."

Excerpt from an article in The New York Times (February 1972)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If instant world government, Charter review, and a greatly strengthened International Court do not provide the answers, what hope for progress is there? The answer will not satisfy those who seek simple solutions to complex problems, but it comes down essentially to this: The hope for the foreseeable lies, not in building up a few ambitious central institutions of universal membership and general jurisdiction as was envisaged at the end of the last war, but rather in the much more decentralized, disorderly and pragmatic process of inventing or adapting institutions of limited jurisdiction and selected membership to deal with specific problems on a case-by-case basis ... In short, the 'house of world order' will have to be built from the bottom up rather than f rom the top down. It will look like a great 'booming, buzzing confusion,' to use William James' famous description of reality, but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault."

"There does exist and has existed for a generation, an international . . . network which operates, to some extent, in the way the radical right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups and frequently does so. I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies . . . but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known."

Judge dismisses Blackwater shooting charges
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34645192/ns/world_news-mideastn_africa/
WASHINGTON - A federal judge dismissed all charges Thursday against five Blackwater Worldwide security guards accused of killing unarmed Iraqi civilians in a crowded Baghdad intersection in 2007.
U.S. District Judge Ricardo Urbina said Justice Department prosecutors improperly built their case on sworn statements that had been given under a promise of immunity. Urbina said the government's explanations were "contradictory, unbelievable and lacking in credibility."
The decision throws out a case steeped in international politics. The September 2007 shooting in busy Nisoor Square left 17 Iraqis dead and inflamed anti-American sentiment abroad. The Iraqi government wanted the guards to face trial in Iraq and officials there said they would closely watch how the U.S. judicial system handled the case.
"We're obviously disappointed by the decision," Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd said. "We're still in the process of reviewing the opinion and considering our options."
Prosecutors can appeal the 90-page ruling.
Company has since changed name
Blackwater contractors had been hired to guard U.S. diplomats in Iraq. The shooting led to the unraveling of the North Carolina-based company, which since has changed its management and changed its name to Xe Services.
The five guards are Donald Ball, a former Marine from West Valley City, Utah; Dustin Heard, a former Marine from Knoxville, Tenn.; Evan Liberty, a former Marine from Rochester, N.H.; Nick Slatten, a former Army sergeant from Sparta, Tenn., and Paul Slough, an Army veteran from Keller, Texas.
Defense attorneys said the guards were thrilled by the ruling after more than two years of scrutiny.
"It's tremendously gratifying to see the court allow us to celebrate the new year the way it has," said attorney Bill Coffield, who represents Liberty. "It really invigorates your belief in our court system."
"It's indescribable," said Ball's attorney, Steven McCool. "It feels like the weight of the world has been lifted off his shoulders. Here's a guy that's a decorated war hero who we maintain should never have been charged in the first place."
Ruling says nothing on shooting
Urbina's ruling does not say whether the shooting was proper, only that the government improperly used evidence to build the case. After the shooting, the State Department ordered the guards to explain what happened.
Investigators promised the men that their statements were to be used only for the internal inquiry and would not be used in a criminal case. Such limited immunity deals are common in police departments so officers involved in shootings cannot hold up internal investigations by refusing to cooperate.
