The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced that four cities have applied to host the 1st Winter Youth Olympic Games in 2012. The Candidate Cities, in alphabetical order, are: Harbin (CHN), Innsbruck (AUT), Kuopio (FIN), and Lillehammer (NOR).

The four Candidate Cities now have until 19th June to prepare and submit their Candidature Files by replying to the IOC questionnaire. A panel of Olympic Movement experts will shortlist the Candidate Cities for further assessment by an IOC Evaluation Commission. The IOC members will then elect by postal vote among the candidates recommended by the IOC Executive Board. The host city for the 2012 Winter Youth Olympic Games will be announced in December 2008.

....FOR FREEDOM!!!

 

 “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act. –George Orwell

 

The year is 1913, Woodrow Wilson is president, and powerful banking interests, who have been trying for year, finally achieved their long term goal, of silently taking control of the American government.

     The first thing the did to accomplish their take over was convince secretary of state, Flan Denox, to lie to the American people, and tell them that the 16th amendment [Income Tax Amendment] had been legally ratified by the states when it was not. The bankers knew that this tax would ultimately end up in their pockets.

     Because of this fraud the American people were led to believe there was a tax on their labor. Congress and the President ARE completely aware of this fraud and it was cited in a recent court case:

 

“If you… examined [the 16th amendment] carefully, you would find that a sufficient number of states ratified that amendment.” -U.S. District Court Judge, James C. Fox, 2003

 

That very same year [1913] the bankers committed their second, and by far most diabolical fraud ever perpetrated on the American people, by bribing senators to pass the Federal Reserve Act, without the required Constitutional amendment. They did this during Christmas vacation, when many senators where home celebrating Christmas with their families.

     And that is how the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act came into being. They were very clever, and understood that who ever issued the money for America controlled the government.

 

“Give me control of a nations money supply, and I care not who makes its laws.” -Mayer Rothschild, Private Banker

 

President Wilson, who signed the Federal Reserve Act later said in regret:

“I’m a most unhappy man; I have unwittingly ruined my country a great industrial nation is now controlled by a system of credit. We are no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinions and duress of a small group of dominant men.” -Woodrow Wilson, 1919

 

How did America transform from being a truly free country with a servant government where our individual rights are protected by our Constitution, to being a country that talked about being free but really wasn’t?

     The change started when the Federal Reserve came into existence, and America adopted one of the major planks of the Communist Manifesto by creating for America this central bank.

     The very same people that back the Federal Reserve System also back the graduated income tax, a second plank from the Communist Manifesto.

     And now our Congress so dominated by the banks, is helping them entrap people even further by passing new Bankruptcy Laws making it more difficult for the people to declare bankruptcy and get a fresh start.

 

“Who controls money controls the world.” -Henry Kissinger, Council of Foreign Relations

“The Constitution is just a goddamn piece of paper.” -George W. Bush, Nov. 2005, Capitol Hill Blue

 

During the 1990’s President Clinton monitored millions of private phone calls placed by U.S. citizens. He did this under a secret program code named: Echelon. The wide spread use of wire tapping Americans during the Clinton administration proves that this practice was not started because of 9/11 but is standard procedure.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The new legislation for the national ID card is in and takes three to for pages to describe. It will be connected to our driver’s licenses and Social security numbers. A physical ID such as finger prints or retinal print will be on it.

This law known as the Real ID Act takes effect in May 2008. Anyone with out a card will not be permitted to board an air plain, Amtrak train, open a bank account, or enter a federal building.

The bill mandates that all drivers’ licenses contain “common readable technology. A radio frequency identification (RFID) chip will be used.

 

 

“It is time to wake up America. Those ID cards are NOT about defeating terrorism, they are all about controlling the American people.” -Aaron Russo

 

The latest technology for identifying people when they make purchases is the implantable chip that can be directly imbedded into human flesh. Its tiny glass capsule is about the size if a grain if rice. It contains an RFID computer chip with a coiled antenna.

Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, and others have expressed great interest in being able to more closely monitor the American people. And one way to do that would be to determine who buys what and where they take these things.

     Radio frequency can travel through walls, wood, the things we normally rely on to protect our privacy. For example your backpack, your pocket, anything you’re wearing or carrying.

     They were talking about having reader devices in every airport, on every bus, every train, on every port and every dock.

     One of the most worrisome applications of RFID is proposals to put in cash. Meaning that you’d be able to track every bank note, where it has been, who it has been issued to, and create an essence an audit trail that would essentially take away the anonymity of cash, that we enjoy today.

     The ATM machine itself, as the money came through the roller device, would be reading each number. And it would know who you are; of course you identify yourself at banks or ATMs. And the ATM would tag the number, and transfer the possession name from, say Bank of America to Joe Jones.

     Once every thing you do is tied down to a single number, and there is no longer the option to pay with cash, then all it takes to render you a non citizen is to simply turn you chip off. Then you won’t be able to participate in ant function in society, including buy food.  

     Through the implementation of the Federal Reserve System, the American citizen has gone from being a private individual who had real money, and gold in possession that was private, to a citizen who has no privacy because all money is now being digitized. They can deduct however amount of money they want out of your digits when ever they want, and they can trace you when ever they want. You’ll be at there mercy. God forbid we allow this to happen in America

    

“This is outrageous! I mean your talking about the government looking over your shoulder at absolutely everything you do, every purchase you make, every place you go, every company you interact with, would be recorded back to potentially the government.” -Katherine Albrecht, author of “Spy Chips”

 

Have we become so controlled and ignorant about our rights, that big institution and big governments can do whatever they want with us even with out our approval?

I know for certain that our founding fathers would resist to the death what is happening in America today. And I for one will not accept a national ID card. And if nobody accepts a national ID card, and nobody can board a plain without one, then let the airlines go bankrupt. And if you can’t open an account in a big national bank, then open one in a small local bank. And if we can’t walk into a federal building, I’d personally consider that a blessing.

Don’t allow these institutions to dictate to us how we conduct our lives. This is America, and we have free choice! We the people have the power not the government. The government gets its power from us, not the other way around.

Think of all the men and women that died in all our wars fighting for freedom, not Federal Reserve bankers. Do you think they sacrificed their lives so America could get chipped like a dog, so we can all have homing devices inside us? NO! This ID card is the last step before they implant us, and that is precisely the reason no one should accept one.

And you know what they’re going to do? They’re going to call in the propaganda machine, the media, and try to sell this RFID chip as if it was in everybody’s best interest.

 

“We shall have a world government whether or not we like it. The only question is whether the world government will be achieved by conquest or consent.” -Paul Warburg, architect of the Federal Reserve System, 1950

 

The central bankers of the world are working together to create a one world government. A global police sinister was the only thing George Orwell ever wrote about. Where every person on the planet Earth will have an RFID chip implant, where the bankers and the governments have access to every transaction you make.

A chip in every in everybody would be the universal monitory system, because there would be no escape from it.

Most people don’t have a clue that these unelected private bankers, actually control the governments of the world. They have actually financed and profited from ever war since World War I, without concern for humanity. The war in Iraq is an attempt by the Federal Reserve and their partner the Bank of England to control the middle east, and make it part of the new world order.

 

“Military men are just dumb stupid animals, to be used as pawn in foreign policies.” -Henry Kissinger

 

     The war on terrorism is the war on your freedom.

 

“The bankers own take it away from them but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough money to buy it back again. However, take away the power to create money, and all great fortunes like mine will disappear and ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in.

But if you wish to remain slaves of the bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money.” - Sir Josiah Stamp, former director of the Bank of England

 

“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 40 years.

     It would have been impossible for us to develop our plans for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But now the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march toward a world government. The supra national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto determination, practiced in past centuries.” 

-David Rockefeller, private banker, council on foreign relations, June 1991

 

“The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes.” -Felix Frankfuter, U.S. Supreme Court Justice

 

“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” -Henry Ford

 

     Now that you do understand what happened in 1913, and how it is leading to world government, the future depends on you. Will you choose freedom or slavery? Stop living in fear of your government. Government is the servant. We are the masters.

So what are you going to do about it? Join together in civil disobedience. Be willing to take part in nationwide strikes, boycotts, and marches on Washington. Force Congress to use their power to shut down the Federal Reserve. Government has authority to issue money, without paying interest to the bankers. This will take away the power to control our government from the bankers. Only vote for candidates who have signed an affidavit to shut down the Federal Reserve System and stop world government.

If you are in the military or law enforcement, remember you swore an oath to defend the American Constitution. You didn’t swear an oath to promote world government. Honor your Oath.

DONOT accept the national ID card, even if it’s your drivers’ license. We must demand that the American peoples gold be audited, and make certain that it has not been stolen. This asset must be returned to the American people.

Abolish computer voting in the state where you live. Stop being a good Democrat, stop being a good Republican, start being good Americans.

And when the media starts telling you that the country will fall apart if this is done, don’t be fooled. This is just the Federal Reserve trying to save itself. Squash it!

 

“I like the old idea, where you could do what you thought you could do and what you wanted to do as long as you didn’t hurt anyone.”

 -Ron Paul

 

If you believe in civil disobedience and wish to organize with millions of Americans in this battle for liberty, please sign up at freedomtofascism.com, and if you choose not to help, report to Central Services immediately and we will have you fitted for an RFID chip… for you own safety, of course.

 

”We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
-Benjamin Franklin, at the signing of the Declaration of
Independence, July 4, 1776

 Uninted we stand, Divided we fall.

Nearly 1,000 diplomats from around the world are meeting in Bonn Germany this week to draft a new global treaty to control greenhouse gases to replace the Kyoto Protocal which expires in 2012. The conference began on Monday, just days after the U.N.-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued its third major report on global warming. Earlier this year the panel declared that the warming of the earth's climate system in unequivocal and attributable to human activities. On Friday the group of 2,000 scientists said the means and technology to prevent global warming exist but that citizens of the world and governments must quickly take action.

My Journal: france
By: Chandizle


OKKKKKKKKkkk!!!

So I've been talking about moving to France for a year or so now
I totally forget why I initially wanted to move, but the more I think about it the more it makes sense

And I also think waiting until 2012 is SOOOOOOOOOOO Far away.
I mean I'll be 31 by then.
Who knows what kind of shenanigans I'll have gotten myself into

I can't see past France though. I want to spend two years in France. Mostly in the Alps and visit historical sites on my weekends off
I want to go to Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Spain, Austria, Norway, Switzerland....

I just think it would be sooo amazing to live there for a couple of years.
But then what?
I can't decide if I would go to Tofino or back to Whistler. I have a hard time imagining not living in Whistler. I adore living here.
sigh but then I think of Tofino and how I loved it there. Even though I was only there for five days it stole my heart
I'll decide then.

But six years until I go?
WOW!
That's soo far away

And this is probably a big reason why I don't want a relationship
I don't want to be tied down to someone/anyone or anything
I just want to be able to go
Granted if I found someone who would be willing to hop to another continent with me that would be great, but good luck finding that..
I don't want anything to happen that would hold me back
I should be done paying my loans in three years
Then I can store all my stuff for two years while I'm in France

God I can't wait
I'm working to get my loans paid
I'm working to build my resume to go do marketing in France
I want to practice my french while in France
I just want to be a part of mt heritage
I might also go live in Scotland for a couple months afterward
OMG that's such a great idea!!!
Ahhh Scotland.

Anyways.. lots to do.
I'm just excited
I've already started to look into it
YAY!

The only thing that will suck will be to be away from my hommies
You guys want to come with me?
HA!
probably not, but whatever
I'll miss my family as well
my mom would want to come with me. Maybe I can convince my parents
I doubt it though, they would never leave their grandkids and with good cause
I want to do this adventure on my own
(sort of)
PArt of me always wants to be alone
but I love my crew and fam so much I always want them by my side
it's more fun when you have people you love around you

anyways I'm rambling


xo

hows the quality?

Everyone exposed to the magic of electricity, at some point in their life, is astonished by light being produced by flipping of a light switch.  At the time of putting this marvelous relationship together questions are normally asked.  How does it work?  Where does it come from?  What makes it happen?  These might be some common questions associated with the wonder of electricity. 

            After this initial understanding and personal research, we go on with our lives knowing that the power comes from the power company, and later on, deal with the responsibility of having to pay our electric bills.

            The question is raised however: are we making our electricity in the safest fashion possible for the well being of our fellow man and ultimately our planet?  There are many ways to create electricity, from pulling energy from the thermal heat originating in the core of our earth, to spinning generators with the power of water.  We also use fossil fuel and wind to generate electricity.  Among these methods is the villainous electrical source of nuclear power.

            Nuclear power and the responsibility of its use is an issue I believe every person must consider.  Nuclear power companies would have everyone believe that their method   of producing electricity is the safest most efficient means available, given our current technology.  The claims of this multi billion dollar industry are not only wrong, but should be considered criminal.  I’m not saying that our other methods of creating electricity are perfectly safe, but when you weigh the consequences of this technology and it’s impact on our planet and its occupants with other forms of power generation I believe you will find nuclear power and it’s continued use, to be a mistake of a most grandiose magnitude.

            According to an unknown author in a highly informative website with a positive outlook on the subject “Nuclear power plants have experienced an admirable safety record. About 20% of electricity generated in the U.S. comes from nuclear power, and in the last forty years of this production, not one single fatality has occurred as a result of the operation of a civilian nuclear power plant in the United States”(www.fortliberty.org).

            This is an impeccable record by any standard.  The operators and technicians currently running our nuclear facilities should be praised and awarded for their contributions to our current safety.  However, people aren’t perfect.  We make mistakes on a daily basis, and will continue to make mistakes until we can congratulate the last member of our species for becoming perfect.   

 Taking a look from a global perspective at the deadly elements used in the production of nuclear electricity, we are allowed no faults or mistakes with our current concoction.  Just because America hasn’t had a fatality yet doesn’t mean that we can by any means exonerate ourselves as free of possibility and error.  In addition, just because America as a nation hasn’t had any problems, doesn’t mean that Chernobyl never happened.

Take into consideration the words of the founding president of Physicians for Social Responsibility, Dr. Helen Caldicott:

“From a medical perspective, nuclear waste threatens global health. The toxicity of many elements in this radioactive mess is long-lived”(Dr. Caldicott www.healthandenergy.com).

 

Plutonium is the worst culprit when it comes to nuclear waste.  Less than one quarter pound of this substance, globally dispersed could generate cancer in all of our planets inhabitants.  It lasts for approximately half a million years and infiltrates our body by way of the lungs, where it obviously causes cancer due to its highly carcinogenic properties.  Plutonium also causes bone cancer, leukemia, liver cancer, and causes birth defects in unborn children.  If this isn’t enough information for you, plutonium is like a magnet to the testicles of our planets animals, and causes genetic mutation that is inherited by offspring and passed on to their offspring on down the line(www.healthandenergy.com).

Dr. Caldicott’s information is only a glimpse into the universally enormous possibilities that can arise from exposure to these elements.  The mutagenic possibilities of genetics are endless.  Any Biology teacher can tell you that.  Since these mutations are passed down from generation to generation, no future offspring of anything could escape the wrath of a global exposure.

Since it takes less than a quarter of a pound of plutonium to globally dose the population with carcinogenic radiation; I bring up two questions: How much plutonium have we accumulated thus far and how long does it actually last?  According to Carl Hoffman,

“ 70,000 metric tons of highly radioactive nuclear waste for 10 millennia… and  America's 103 operating nuclear powerplants are generating another 3,000 metric tons a year. … The half-life of plutonium is 24,000 years, which means it'll actually take 240,000 years before you can hold a chunk in your hand without being poisoned by radiation”(Carl Hoffman 58).

In my opinion one millionth of a gram of plutonium is too much.  It’s found nowhere in nature, and quite frankly has no place there either.  Nuclear power plants continue and will continue to make plutonium as a byproduct of power generation as long as billions of dollars worth of currency fund this growing buisness. 

Consider the information you’ve just received and ask yourself: “is the continued production of plutonium acceptable from any standard, whether it’s the byproduct of power generation or nuclear weapons?”  I think you’ll find that anything that aids in the production of such a potentially catastrophic substance is just as bad as the production of atomic weapons.

I have one more point to make about my opposition toward this “light switch wizard”.  We currently have no safer place than nuclear power plants to store this waste.  According to Carl Hoffman over 20 years ago Americas scientists had located a spot to place all this waste in the desert of Las Vegas.  This location is known as Yucca  Mountain and is owned by Americas government.  The problem with Yucca Mountain is that, after spending billions of dollars to investigate the structure and hydrology of the mountain our scientists found that there is a possibility of more water located there, than our initial calculations could account for.  The issue with water is that it has the potential to corrode the casks all of this waste will be stored in, and allow nuclear radiation to penetrate our water table( 58).

Mr. Hoffman goes on to say,

“If the Nuclear Regulatory Commission licenses Yucca Mountain in 2009, the first stage of a 300-year project will commence in 2010: the boring of 60 miles of access and emplacement tunnels 250 feet apart and up to 25 feet in diameter, 1,000 feet underground” (Carl Hoffman 58).

 

Carl includes a description of how the inner workings of Yucca mountain will function.  They include packaging the waste in 19x7ft. cylindrical containers that weigh 80 tons a piece.  The temperature of these containers will be close to 180 degrees Fahrenheit.  With waste this hot and so radioactive, movement will have to be conducted by a machine run, entirely computerized network of train like vehicles and cranes, similar to the ones you can win stuffed animals in at the bowling alley( 58).

 

This is our best solution we as a nation can look forward to thus far, toward the disposal of this waste with our current technology.  Yucca Mountain’s future repository sounds to me like something out of a science fiction novel.  An entirely computerized system of monitoring and moving tons of nuclear waste in close proximity to more nuclear waste, and its safety for 300 years can be allowed no error; just like the imaginary perfect people of the future.

It turns out however, that Yucca Mountain is receiving more opposition than the Nuclear Regulatory Commission expected.  According to the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management

 ”…the DOE is likely to push back its planned opening for the proposed Yucca Mountain spent fuel repository from 2010 to 2012… U.S. Representative Shelley Berkley (D-NV), commented that even a 2012 goal is unlikely to be met.

"I think Margaret Chu and the administration can say 2010, 2012, but I suggest they start looking at 20-never," said Berkley. "They will never be able to make Yucca Mountain the appropriate site"(Nuclear Power Today).

 

Plutonium is created as a byproduct of nuclear power.  Plutonium is deadly and remains deadly for thousands of years no matter where we send it, other than directly to our sun.  We already have far too much plutonium on the planet to deal with, and generating more of this man made substance should be globally banned for all nations including America.

From the information gathered here I question the integrity, morality, and humanity of every person that created and continues production of nuclear power.  I believe nuclear power should be cut out of our society like the tumors’ it has the potential to create; before the light reflected off the eyes of our young species, admiring the magic of the light switch, becomes permanently dulled.
