Bangkok, Thailand: Mass Mobilization Against Wall Street-Backed Regime

Tony Cartalucci
Activist Post

For the second time during recent anti-regime protests, a mass mobilization is planned to begin this Monday, December 9, 2013 at 9:39am at Democracy Monument. Universities across Bangkok are setting times and locations for pre-rally staging. Protesters who individually attended the last mobilization, the largest in modern history, are better organized for this coming Monday - gathering their own smaller groups to join larger staging areas for a mass march across the city.

According to even the Western press, who has thus far attempted to shelter the Wall Street-backed regime, at least 200,000 protesters filled the streets last month, dwarfing entirely anything the regime has ever accomplished even at the height of its popularity. Since then, the regime has used excessive force, made draconian threats, and even unleashed armed militants to create bloodshed - further alienating itself, and galvanizing the Thai people.

Many of the individual pre-mobilizations will be as large as a typical pro-regime rally. These will then march across the city and merge. The last mass mobilization was peaceful, even festive.

This Monday, the message is a non-violent one, for the regime to see and hear the voices of the people who reject it wholly and will no longer comply with its entrenched, abusive power.

105 Scientists Slam GMO-Rat-Study Retraction

Catherine J. Frompovich
Activist Post

What kind of hornet’s nest was opened up for the GM industry in view of the retraction of the two year "Long term toxicity of a Roundup herbicide and a Roundup-tolerant genetically modified maize", by G E Séralini et al, published in Food and Chemical Toxicology 2012, 50(11), 4221-31?

According to the article published December 5, 2013 in the Ecologist,

This arbitrary, groundless retraction of a published, thoroughly peer-reviewed paper is without precedent in the history of scientific publishing, and raises grave concerns over the integrity and impartiality of science. These concerns are heightened by a sequence of events surrounding the retraction: 

• the appointment of ex-Monsanto employee Richard Goodman to the newly created post of associate editor for biotechnology at FCT 
• the retraction of another study finding potentially harmful effects from GMOs (which almost immediately appeared in another journal) 
• the failure to retract a paper published by Monsanto scientists in the same journal in 2004, for which a gross error has been identified. [1]

The first bulleted item apparently speaks volumes as to Monsanto’s tactics in gaining corporate-style control over many segments of society, commerce, and government. Shouldn’t someone question the revolving door policy Monsanto’s former chief lobbyist Michael Taylor [2] has enjoyed at federal agencies, and now as FDA Deputy Commissioner for Foods? Can that be why we have FDA-mandated “No GMO Labeling of Foods”?

New California Pot Legalization Initiative Filed

Phillip Smith
Activist Post

The initiative, The Control, Regulate, and Tax Marijuana Act, would legalize the possession of up to an ounce by persons 21 or over and allow people to grow up to four plants. It would leave the rest of the state's marijuana laws and its medical marijuana laws unchanged, but would create statewide regulation of adult sales and commercial cultivation, with a 25% retail sales tax.

The initiative is backed by the Drug Policy Alliance, which says that, given impressive recent poll numbers, it wanted to have something ready for 2014 just in case.

U.S. Air Force Testing New Stealth Drone at Area 51

Update on the global drone arms race.

It has been predicted that the development of drone surveillance by the U.S. would spark a global race to develop new drone capabilities, leading to a potentially dystopian future of drone wars where combat and even assassinations can be performed by fleets of insect-like microbots. The Washington Post reported in July, 2011:

More than 50 countries have purchased surveillance drones, and many have started in-country development programs for armed versions because no nation is exporting weaponized drones beyond a handful of sales between the United States and its closest allies. (Source)

The number of countries has now risen toward 90 as Pakistan recently entered into the market, plus the United Nations itself has launched its own fleet of surveillance drones.  It was also recently announced that China had successfully tested their first combat stealth drone, which is detailed in updates below.

Now, just a short while following the announcement from China, the U.S. Air Force has stated that a "top secret" large stealth drone is in development at the hotbed of all things mysterious -- Area 51.

Check Out Mayor Bloomberg’s New Sandy Hook Gun Control Commercial

Melissa Melton
Activist Post

This new piece of fearmongering propaganda titled “No More Silence” is hitting cable TV just ahead of the one-year anniversary of the Newtown shooting.

A clock ticks as people in a drab, desaturated world observe a moment of silence for the victims, then a camera follows a guy with a duffel bag in slow motion as he tosses the bag to the ground and heads into a school, presumably to shoot the place up. A dramatic female voice says, “But with 26 more school shootings since that day, ask yourself: Is silence what America needs right now?” alluding that what America needs is even more gun control laws.



The fact that Sandy Hook was already a gun-free zone and criminals are criminals because they don’t follow laws to begin with (that’s what makes them criminals by definition) apparently doesn’t factor in.

Android to settle with FTC over flashlight app that sent location data to advertisers

Madison Ruppert
Activist Post

An Android developer is going to settle charges with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over their free application masquerading as an innocent flashlight application that actually transmitted the “precise location” data of millions of users to third-party advertisers.

Android apps have been notorious for their invasions of privacy. Reports earlier this year revealed that the Facebook application for Android stole users’ phone numbers without their consent and in early 2012 the Facebook application was shown to spy on users’ text messages. An early 2013 report also showed that Google sent personal information to app developers without the knowledge or consent of users.

In this case, the application called “Brightest Flashlight Free,” downloaded between 50 and 100 million times, was shown to send location data to advertisers along with the unique device identifier, all without the user having any clue it was going on.

The app description on the Google Play store makes no mention of this practice.

Army Officer Wants You Disarmed: “We Will Pry Your Gun from Your Cold, Dead Fingers”

Within the upper echelons of our military there still remain men and women who are committed to the fundamental laws of the land. But assuming that all members of our military will be there to support the Constitution of the United States when our nation needs them most would be a mistake.

Understand this: There are those within their ranks who would turn on their oaths and forcibly seize the very rights our Founders fought so hard to preserve without giving it a second thought.

The following opinion piece, penned by Lt. Col. Robert Bateman, shows in stark detail exactly what we’re dealing with and argues in no uncertain terms that the American public must be disarmed in order for the United States to survive.

The ideas proposed by Lt. Col. Bateman in It’s Time to Talk About Guns and the Supreme Court are nothing short of shocking.

Obamacare System Issues Mean “Enrollees” May Not Actually be Covered

Lily Dane
Activist Post

Can you imagine going through all the trouble to get enrolled in Obamacare, only to find out you aren’t actually covered when you try to use your shiny new insurance?

Consumers who made it through the crashes and glitches of the perpetually broken Obamacare enrollment site and were able to sign up for insurance may be in for a rude awakening next month due to a significant problem with the “back end” of the site.

The information that insurance companies are receiving through the website is often jumbled or incomplete – and in some cases, it isn’t going through at all. Some insurers have reported that they have tested the site using John Doe applications and the information they submitted did not make it through the back end.

Man Says Cops Threatened to Raid His Home and Kill His Dogs

Lily Dane
Activist Post

A Kansas City man had an unpleasant visit from the police last week.

Eric Crinnian heard loud banging at his door. Still on alert after a neighbor was robbed a few weeks ago, he grabbed a crowbar on his way to answer.

“I open the door a little bit wider and he sees that I have something in my hand, so he pulls his gun, tells me to put down whatever I’ve got and then come out with my hands up, so I do,” Crinnian said.

Crinnian said the three officers at his door were looking for two men he’d never heard of. He told them he didn’t know the men, and the cops asked to come in and look around. Crinnian, a lawyer, told them they’d need a warrant for that.

That’s when he said one officer threatened him:

Obama Claims His New Reforms Will…Wait for It…Give Americans ‘More Confidence’ in NSA

Melissa Melton
Activist Post

During an interview Thursday with Chris Matthews of MSNBC (the outlet that officially changed its tagline to “what progressives have been waiting for”), President Obama said he will propose new reforms that will give Americans “more confidence” in the National Security Administration (NSA).

Considering the majority of Americans paying attention for longer than five seconds to ex-NSA contractor Edward Snowden’s continual ocean of leaks already have zero-to-less-than-zero confidence in the NSA’s respect for our rights at this point, all the president would have to do is say people will have more confidence and if one halfwit regains even a glimmer of hope that we aren’t all living in a dystopic Orwellian big brother nightmare for even a moment, the president will have fulfilled his promise.

Smart plan for a fail-proof confidence booster, right?

Whistleblower John Kiriakou Talks to Aljazeera America

Recently, my former CIA-agent, whistleblower-pen-pal, John Kiriakou, gave Aljazeera America an interview - read here. That article talks about how the Obama administration is going after whistleblowers and prosecuting them under the Espionage Act of 1917. [1]

In the interview, John tells what his average day is like—rather boring, especially for a person who lived such an exciting and full life before imprisonment. He mentions his cell mates. I guess having so much ‘free time’ on one’s hands allows one to do some introspective thinking. John, apparently, has come to a resolve about speaking out regarding government when he is released from prison. This is how he put it in his letter interview with Aljazeera America:

It seem like lampooning season is in full swing on the Internet. I can’t tell you how many forwards come across my computer email that seriously diss Barack Hussein Obama, the 44th President of the United States of America. Below are some of the remarks that come with those forwards.

What concerns this writer is this: Why such lampooning? After all, wasn’t Obama supposed to be a shoo-in president? Weren’t the masses enthralled with him? What’s happened? Where’s hope; is it hiding?

Perhaps, these cartoons tell the story more insightfully about how voters feel now than the U.S. media, TV talking heads, or even history will.

7 Ways to Drain BPA From the Body

How to eliminate endocrine-disruptors from your system

Heather Callaghan
Activist Post

Why should someone care about endocrine-disruptors? The effort to walk away from damaging chemicals becomes easier when one sees what happens when disrupted hormones lead to major life-altering consequences.

The endocrine system is a huge deal - when in balance, everything is wonderful. When slightly out of whack, life is Hades. We didn't need a thousand individual studies to list off all the symptoms Bisphenol-A can cause; like ADHD-type symptoms, obesity, devastating sex/reproductive changes, brain impairment and so much more. It passes the blood brain barrier, accumulates and is way more dangerous at lower levels than previously thought. When the endocrine glands get messed with, it's dethroning the regulator of all those hormonal functions.

No one specifically asked for hormone-scramblers on the consumer market, like decades of heavy pesticide dousing, plastics, cleaning chemicals, fragrance, cosmetics, dental sealants, body care, processed food and its packaging. For many reasons, it's here...

Harvard: Eating Healthy Costs $1.50 More Per Day

Activist Post

The healthiest diets cost about $1.50 more per day than the least healthy diets, according to new research from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH). The finding is based on the most comprehensive examination to date comparing prices of healthy foods and diet patterns vs. less healthy ones.

The study will be published online December 5, 2013 in BMJ (British Medical Journal) Open.

"People often say that healthier foods are more expensive, and that such costs strongly limit better diet habits," said lead author Mayuree Rao, a junior research fellow in the Department of Epidemiology at HSPH. "But, until now, the scientific evidence for this idea has not been systematically evaluated, nor have the actual differences in cost been characterized."

Fighting in Ancient Syrian City, Nuns Taken Hostage

In yet another example of the religious fanaticism and intentional targeting of civilians by the foreign-backed death squads operating in Syria, a recent offensive push by the killers into the Christian village of Maaloula has resulted in widespread destruction, vandalism, and even the kidnapping of 12 nuns and others from a local Christian monastery.

On December 2, 2013, death squads invaded the ancient city of Maaloula which sits just north of Damascus and close to the Damascus highway, a strategic supply route for the Syrian government forces and the Western-backed death squads. After overtaking the government forces which had themselves retaken the town only months ago, the death squads began instituting oppressive policies and terrorizing the inhabitants.

Indeed, shortly after the invasion, the terrorists kidnapped 12 Syrian and Lebanese Orthodox Christian nuns who had been residing in the Mar Thecla convent, located in the middle of the city. In addition, Febronia Nabhan, the mother superior of another convent in Maaloula, stated that three “young maids” were also kidnapped. According to Mario Zenari, a spokesman for the Vatican, the women were seen being forced to follow the death squads toward Yabroud.

The Chinese Want To Spend Billions Constructing A 600 Acre “China City” In New York State

Michael Snyder
Activist Post

The Chinese have made trillions of dollars flooding our shores with super cheap products, and now they are using some of that money to buy land and property all over America.  For example, there is now a proposal to construct a multibillion dollar “China City” that would span approximately 600 acres in a remote area of New York state.

This “China City” (that is actually what it would be called) would be located on Yankee Lake in Sullivan County, New York.  The plans anticipate large numbers of Chinese businesses, plenty of homes for Chinese immigrants, a Chinese high school, a college, a casino and even a theme park.  And the first 600 acres is only for “phase one” of the plan.  Ultimately, the goal is for “China City” to cover more than 2,000 acres.  Those promoting this plan say that it will be a great way for New Yorkers to learn to appreciate Chinese culture.

So should we be concerned that the Chinese want to place a little slice of communist China right in the heart of New York state?

Big Banks Are Being Hit With Cyberattacks “Every Minute Of Every Day”

Michael Snyder
Activist Post

What would you do if you logged in to your bank account one day and it showed that you had a zero balance and that your bank had absolutely no record that you ever had any money in your account at all? What would you do if hackers shut down all online banking and all ATM machines for an extended period of time? What would you do if you requested a credit report and discovered that there were suddenly 50 different versions of "you" all using the same Social Security number?  Don't think that these things can't happen.

According to Symantec, there was a 42 percent increase in cyberattacks against U.S. businesses last year.  And according to a recent report in the Telegraph, big banks are being hit with cyberattacks "every minute of every day".  These attacks are becoming more powerful and more sophisticated with each passing year.  Most of the time the general public never hears much about the cyberattacks that are actually successful because authorities are determined to maintain confidence in the banking system.

But if people actually knew the truth about what was going on, they would not have much confidence at all.

International Law Encourages Use of Geoengineering Weather Modification

According to a new study due to be published in 2014, Geoengineering field research is not only allowed, it is encouraged.

The study was authored by Jesse Reynolds at Tilburg Law School in the Netherlands. Reynolds researched the legal status of geoengineering research by analyzing international documents and treaties.

Geo-engineering is the science of manipulating the climate for the stated purpose of fighting mad made climate change. These include Solar Radiation Management (SRM), the practice of spraying aerosols into the sky in an attempt to deflect the Sun’s rays and combat climate change.
