Vatic Note: Pay attention to the late breaking news and you will see why Israel is far more dangerous to us than we had ever imagined because of HOW THEY EXECUTED THOSE UNARMED AID WORKERS INCLUDING THE AMERICAN TEEN. Its in the article below in bold saying BREAKING NEWS.

What we have learned from this experience, which we had known before, but couldn't really grasp, is that Israel is capable of murdering just about anyone, armed, unarmed, etc. We saw them do that live on news reports to the pals, but could not relate to it (some of us could, but such acts are so alien to everything we believe in, that it is hard to grasp) but now this is the final straw that makes this issue visceral and in the gut. Israel is no ones ally and if they are they are dangerous, thus its better to have them as an enemy where you know the rules of the game. As their ally, you do not know the rules of the game. They believe allies are as much available to harm IF IT FURTHERS THEIR POLITICAL AGENDA and they don't care if your an ally as long as you are a goyim. That means "dispensible" for promoting their advancement, somewhat like cattle. Oh, thats right, they have said that on several occasions, haven't they??? This is simply another Rachel corrie where no one in this government did a thing about her "murder" just like they will do now. ITS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE FOREIGNERS RUNNING YOUR GOVERNMENT FOR ANOTHER NATION. We are a colony of Israel and Obama is the governor of this colony for Israel. Well, is that what we want??

Report: Autopsy shows Gaza activists were shot 30 times. Nine Turkish activistskilled in an Israeli raid on a Gaza-bound ship, including one with U.S. citizenship, were shot a total of 30 times and five died of gunshot wounds to the head, Britain’s Guardian newspaper says (Read Original Haaretz Article from Israel)

LATE BREAKING NEWS: ISRAELI “COMMANDOS” EXECUTED PEACE ACTIVISTS, MOSTLY WITH SHOTS TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD AT POINT BLANK RANGE, WHILE PRISONERS WERE KNEELING, ACCORDING TO A REPORT FROM AN ISRAELI PAPER, BASED ON AUTOPOSY RESULTS

An American teenager was murdered by Israel commandos, pirates really, this week. He was shot in the abdomen and, instead of being given medical aid, he was held down on the deck of a ship, probably by multiple pairs of combat boots and shot four times in the back of the head at close range. Reports from the Israeli Knesset have Israeli boats approaching the unarmed flotilla, machine guns pouring lead across the decks. These facts won’ t be in any American or British newspaper or on the television news, not the corporate networks anyway. Israel dictates what is reported, even by the BBC, an organization they control entirely.

This isn’t the first time this has happened, an Israeli military force has gone after a ship in the Mediterranean. The most glaring case is the attack on the USS Liberty in 1967. With President Lyndon Johnson agreeing to support the Israeli invasion of Egypt and Syria, a quick land grab started by a Pearl Harbor type sneak attack, it wasn’t certain that the American military would support this kind of cowardly aggression. Thus, the American monitoring ship, the USS Liberty, had to be sunk and its entire crew wiped out to a man. President Johnson approved, Admiral Sidney McCain agreed to cover it up and Israel sent wave after wave of bombers, torpedo boats and fighter aircraft out but the USS Liberty never went down. 34 Americans were murdered by Israel that day.

The USS Liberty incident should have taken down the Johnson presidency, ended the “special relationship” with Israel and opened the 6 Day War to real scrutiny for what it was, Israeli expansionism. If the United States had reacted then, there would have been no 1974 oil embargo, no Ayatollah in Iran, no “war on terror,” no 9/11 and no world economic collapse. A single act of treason 43 years ago changed the world for the worse, erasing our triumphs in World War 2 and erasing the economic boon the collapse of the Soviet Union should have brought the world.

IS IT STILL TREASON WHEN NOBODY KNOWS?

The current attack against the Freedom Flotilla deeply parallels the USS Liberty attack. The attack on the Liberty was an act of war against the United States. This required retaliation. There was none. What it wasn’t was an “accident.” Israel now calls the murder of an American teenager “

Allowing Israel to get away with this, an attack on a US Navy ship in international waters was one of the worst acts of treason and cowardice in American history but it was also a more significant error. America gave up its sovereignty to Israel. Johnson had been bought and paid for long before, years of sexcapades in Hollywood, arranged by studio heads and, at the time of the USS Liberty attack, bedding an Irgun operative, Matilda Krim. Johnson had seen “the outfit” get rid of President Kennedy and knew he had to ”toe the line.” Another Kennedy would die and, after that, no American leader would oppose Israel again, not without a plane crash, sex scandal or being removed from office through a massive deluge of cash.

MURDER

When an American citizen is murdered anywhere in the world, our embassy is involved, the FBI asks to assist in the investigation and the State Department monitors the case from beginning to end. In 1812, we went to war over the kidnapping of Americans from ships at sea. We entered World War I because of a German attack that killed Americans, an attack on a ship carrying arms during a war.

Were a soldier from any army or police force in the world to shoot an unarmed American on their own territory, an apology would be offered immediately, reparations made and still, they would face military retaliation. Such an incident is state terrorism by definition.

USS Liberty Crew Members Buried at Arlington Cemetery

The idea of a member of a military group murdering an American, not an accidental shooting but an execution, not within their sovereign borders but during an act of piracy in international waters, America would have an obligation to respond militarily to a terrorist attack. However, not only was nothing done, nothing has been said. America is only admitting that it is no longer a sovereign nation. It can’t, it won’t protect its citizens, it won’t even act in concert with the international community. America is a colony of a police state, a colony of a terrorist evildoer.

Vatic Note: This looks like the beginning of a black ops like they are doing in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq. Remember? They pitted the Sunni's against the Shia's by blowing up mosques, killing the members of the other clans and violence. WHY DO YOU THINK THEY PAY BLACKWATER BLACK OPS & OTHER PRIVATE MERCS SO MUCH MONEY? All those contractors have an intel section who works with the CIA and mossad in dressing up like the natives as we have seen and they have gotten caught. So here we are with the same tactic being used on us. More and more race baiting, last week it was muslims, the week before it was the SPLC trying to pit the left against the right and make them afraid of the right. Its all part of their game. If the 3,000 of them can create a civil war between us, then their job is guaranteed to succeed in taking this nation down for the last time. WE MUST NOT LET THAT HAPPEN. No racism, no hate, no division, UNITED WE MUST STAND and when we get our nation back we can fix our own wounds as a country.

I am sure that if the victim and perps were exchanged (skin color) we would be hearing from every race baiting outfit in the world how this is a HATE CRIME and demanding the heads of the White perps. But, this is not the case - the victim was/is White and the perps another color so the MSM is keeping a rather low profile and so are the race baiting goons who usually are all over the place. Where is Obama? Why isn't he calling for a BEER SUMMIT to resolve this issue? Where is the ACLU - the SPLC - NAACP - why those folks must be suffering from color blindness and lost their vocal chords in the process.....
Someday it will be discovered that HATE is in the HEART - not the SKIN COLOR.

The father of the teen who was brutally beaten in West Seattle last week is outraged by the investigators' release two men suspected in the case.

Detectives said they collected DNA samples from two men they found roaming the streets in the minutes after the beating of 16-year-old Shane McClellan. They swabbed blood that'd dried on the men's hands to compare the samples with the DNA samples found at the crime scene, detectives said.

With DNA test results pending, police released the two unidentified men due to a lack of a full physical description. But the victim's father, Tim Mcclellan, can't make sense of the investigators' logic.

"I'm furious, because these guys were walking around literally with my son's blood on their hands," said the father. "It seemed like they had enough evidence. They found these guys in minutes. What more do you need, a smoking gun?"

Shane McClellan was found walking near 17th Avenue Southwest and Southwest Kenyon Street, beaten and bloodied, just before 7 a.m. on May 25. The teen had a "broken nose and possibly other internal injuries," according to the police report.

Detectives said McClellan "was dazed, his face and hands and shirt were covered in blood," and "his face, ears, head and back were swollen."

McClellan told investigators he ran into trouble while walking near 14th Avenue Southwest and Southwest Holdent Street around 2 a.m. He said two men in their 20s standing at the top of a nearby set of stairs asked him for a light. When he approached them to oblige, the two men surrounded him and began reaching into his pockets, the teen told investigators.

The teen said he tried to push them off and run, but the pair "began hitting him with their fists and dragging him up the stairs," the police document said.

The attackers took the teen's "Memorex touch screen MP3 player, $27 and change, his black puffy coat and his belt," according to investigators.

McClellan said his attackers then dragged him to an area where 14th Ave.nue Southwest dead-ends just south of Southwest Holden Street and continued to beat him for hours, until approximately 6:15 a.m. when they finally left, the document said.

"They continued to beat him with their fist and feet," "whipped him with his own belt and burned him with lit cigarettes," and "poured energy beer on him" and "urinated on him," McClellan told detectives.

Throughout the assault, the two men made claims like "the white man has kept us down," "how do you like it, white boy," and "this is for enslaving our people."

The two men took turns switching between beating him and taking smoke breaks, McClellan said, and when he made any noise, one of the men "brandished a folding knife toward him and threatened to 'slit his throat if he kept screaming,'" according to the statement. The pair also threatened to kill him several times, McClellan said.

At one point, the men pushed McClellan's head into the ground, kicked him and the teen "felt something hard pressed against the back of his head, and he was told not to look up or they would 'cap' him in the head," he told investigators.

When he was sure his attackers had left, McClellan got up and began walking down the street. He was spotted by passers-by a short time later.

Police responded to the scene and found "blood smears" and several fresh cigarette butts, which they took in as evidence for DNA sampling. They also collected several untarnished coins and an empty can of "FOUR loko" energy beer, detectives said.

While heading to the precinct, a detective ran into two men who men who matched the general description of the attackers. The men had dried blood stains on their face and hands, and were smoking Marlboro Reds, several butts of which were found at the crime scene, detectives said, and the men were also drinking the same brand, size and flavor of beer as the one found at the crime scene.

The suspects, ages 21 and 23, were released after investigators obtained their contact information.
McClellan, who was taken to Harborview Medical Center after his attack, has since been released.
No arrests have been made in the case, and the investigation is ongoing.
Seattle police have referred the case to its bias crimes unit to determine whether it qualifies as a hate crime. Anyone with information on the case is urged to contact police immediately.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Contributors Note:
I do believe this is the FIRST time I have read MSM report that a White male being beaten by those who appeared to be black and the other Asian or Pacific Islander a *HATE CRIME*. I can't recall ever having read a MSM report written in this manner.

Another story on the subject from a different publication. That makes two MSM that have published this, which means the evil ones want this out here, but for what purpose when they have always buried these stories if it was a white person who got ravaged. Is it to generate hate and move into violence?

SEATTLE - A 15-year-old boy from West Seattle says he was held hostage and beaten for hours, all because of the color of his skin.

Shane McClellan says two men kicked and whipped him at gunpoint - and told him they singled him out because he is white. Tim McClellan, Shane's father, says he barely recognized his son after the brutal assault.
"I didn't know if he was alive or dead," Tim McClellan said.

The incident happened as Shane McClellan was walking home from a friend's house Tuesday around 2 a.m.
Shane's father says two men called to Shane from the top of a staircase near the intersection of 14th Avenue SW and SW Holden Street. The men asked for a light, and when Shane walked over to oblige, they knocked him to the ground and started kicking him.

"Apparently one guy got behind him and grabbed him, and the other guy started punching him in the face," says Joseph Cannis, a friend of McClellan. The two men knocked the frightened teen around on the staircase, making racially charged remarks.

"So after they beat him up over here, they started dragging him over and talking stuff, 'We're going to beat you up.' Not letting him go. 'We're going to have some fun with you,'" says another of McClellan's friends, Michael Jackson.

The attackers stripped off McClellan's belt and started whipping his back. One of the men held a gun against the back of his head and burned his neck with cigarettes.

At one point they shoved McClellan's face into a hole with the gun against his head. They also urinated on him and poured beer over him.

Shane told police the suspects said they were whipping and beating him because he is white - and that his ancestors had done the same in the past.

"What he told me, when they were beating him with the belt, they were saying, 'I don't like white people,'" says Tim McClellan. The suspects told Shane they were Bloods gang members and were beating him because he was white.

The boy told police that one of his attackers appeared to be black and the other Asian or Pacific Islander. The victim's father says this was nothing short of hours of torture.

"Put a gun to the back of his head and told him if he said anything they were going to blow his head off while they sat there and burned him with cigarettes on the back of the neck," he says. The two assailants held the victim on the ground for some time, and Shane eventually passed out.

When he regained consciousness, the attackers were gone. They had taken his money, a coat and an MP3 player. Shane waved down a passing car for help and met his family at the hospital. Seattle police have referred the case to their Bias Crimes Unit for review as a possible hate crime.

Detectives told the family they are working on a photo montage of possible suspects - and will see if the victim is able to identify his attackers from the line-up. Shane is now out of the hospital and recovering at home.

Vatic Note: I am too mad to make any comments about bailouts, thieving from our seniors retirements etc etc etc.... ownership in BP, ownership in toxic oil dispersements, ownership in 96% of the MSM, see? That is why I don't want to comment as its rehashing what we all know, but its outrage to look at their bottom line numbers in profits that we didn't get to share as taxpayers who fronted the bailout for generations to come, and yet Goldman sachs was the biggest beneficiary of the AIG bailouts, all of them under Bush and Obama. So, maybe 300 million people will just say "no" to them when they try to collect. I suggest we give them a bill and tell them to pay our taxes for us until they pay us off. After what Jim Tucker from the Bilderberg meeting just said, about taxing us and making us a welfare state like Europe, I am looking at these figures below and going NO FRIGGEN WAY are we paying any more taxes or allowing anymore taking of our wealth from our hard earned labor to support a bunch of welfare queens at the top of the totem pole. If its to help our people for real that is different, but right now there isn't sole in that congress with one ounce of humanity or compassion for anyone at the bottom. Screw them, we take our money back and they can go fight their wars and use their children and their wealth, NOT OURS ANYMORE. JUST LOOK BELOW AND SEE HOW OBSCENE THAT IS. If that doesn't make you mad nothing will.

Focus hard on this shocking Wall Street reality: The top six bank holding companies earned an aggregate of $51 billion in pretax income in 2009. We're talking about JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup and Wells Fargo.

All of this pretax income can be attributed to their trading revenues of $59.7 billion. The proprietary trading operations of an oligopoly of banks, saved from disaster by Uncle Sam's largesse and subsidized with cheap money from the central bank, was the single driving force behind the restoration of their fortunes and the renewed surge in their stock prices.

For those willing to go long when the outlook was the bleakest, they've banked a double in JPMorgan Chase, scored a quadruple in Citigroup and nearly a quintuple in BofA.

Some of the other 980 bank holding companies--like Bank of New York Mellon, PNC Financial Services, U.S. Bancorp and M&T Bank--lost an aggregate of $19 billion for the 2009 year. Bank of New York Mellon had the seventh-largest trading revenue--it was just 1.6% of the total. By comparison, Goldman Sachs had 36.2%, Bank of America 18.8%, JPMorgan Chase 15.4%, Morgan Stanley 11.3%, Citigroup 6.9% and Wells Fargo 4.2%.

Trading profits--better known in the proposed financial reform legislation as proprietary or "prop"--trading are the target of former Fed chief Paul Volcker's crusade to prohibit or severely limit bank holding companies that have public deposits from this speculative activity.

Wall Street's gravy train is in danger of being hijacked. Investors beware; the Volcker rule is the single biggest threat to the share price of the oligopoly. Another threat is the cap on future growth of the oligopoly.

You can earn yields of 12% and higher on Canadian royalty trusts. Which are safe to buy and which will punish you? Click here for buys and sells from Richard Lehmann in Forbes/Lehmann Income Securities Investor.

The bill requires Federal Reserve approval for bank holding companies with assets over $50 billion before they can acquire a wide range of other nonbank financial companies, like asset managers with more than $10 billion in assets. Just how big a threat is clear from first-quarter 2010 earnings: Trading revenue at Goldman Sachs increased by 61% to $9 billion; Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase saw their trading revenue more than double from 2009.

Even more amazing, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase did not lose money during any single trading session of the 2010 first quarter. This astonishing performance underscores the casino the oligopoly has become. It bears testament to the payoff from the Wall Street bailout of 2008, which resulted in the elimination of competition and the concurrent strengthening of the few giants left standing.

They have taken advantage of their opportunity to grow more powerful by absorbing crippled institutions like Merrill Lynch and Wachovia. JPM's trading revenue is up 127% over a year ago; Morgan Stanley's is up 176%. Citigroup's and Wells Fargo's revenues from trading are down roughly 30% each.

Public policy has benefited the oligopoly at the cost of hurting some of the other 980 bank holding companies in the nation. The financial overhaul bill unfairly penalizes any bank with more than $50 billion--even if it is a retail bank serving Main Street, making loans to small business and mortgages to ordinary people, not billionaire hedge fund managers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's just plain unfair to subsidize the oligopoly while penalizing the regional banks with a tax to prepare for the next too-big-to-fail episode. Because sooner or later a member of the oligopoly is going to climb out on a limb and need rescuing.

Maybe the price-earnings multiple and the premium over book value for this oversized oligopoly should be penalized by the marketplace. Burst the potential bank bubble now.

Vatic Note: Ok, Ok, this is good, we are making progress, the more exposure to the light of day the better our chances of defeating this effort. I genuinely believe they are personally afraid since we know who they are, have their pictures and know where they live, so I believe they are really cowards at heart and their money won't save them from reactions by millions if not billions of people. So this is good news. So now what??? Well, lets listen to the video of Alex interview Tucker who always seems to get the goods on what went on in the meetings even with the high security going on. Then lets discuss options. We still have the nutty Zionist problem, Iran attack for greed, and bankers so we are not out of the woods yet. The big problem we have and needs to be solved is the Gulf, so begin thinking on that next. See ideas and recommended solutions at the end of the article.

The 2010 Bilderberg agenda has been revealed by veteran Bilderberg sleuth Jim Tucker and it paints a picture of crisis for the globalists, who are furious at the increased exposure their gatherings have received in recent years, as well as being dismayed at their failure to rescue both the euro and the failing carbon tax agenda, but more alarmingly according to Tucker, the majority of Bilderberg members are now in favor of military air strikes on Iran.

American Free Press muckraker Tucker has proven routinely accurate with the information he obtains from sources inside Bilderberg, which makes this year’s revelations all the more intriguing.

According to Tucker, Bilderberg luminaries are dismayed at the fact that “many important people” are not attending this year because, due to increasing exposure, invitees are “getting in trouble at home” and constituents are embarrassing them by asking irate questions such as “what are you doing with these monsters?”

“All these people are exposing us, we get all this mail and calls,” Tucker paraphrased Bilderberg members as complaining.

This dovetails with the revelations overheard by Guardian journalist Charlie Skelton at the Hotel Dolce Sitges before the meeting began when he heard conference organizers lamenting the fact that protest numbers are growing at Bilderberg events each year and that they represent a “threat” to Bilderberg’s agenda.

In addition, prominent Bilderberg Zbigniew Brzezinski, the man who warned recently that a “global political awakening” was threatening to derail the move towards global government, was expected to be in attendance at this year’s meeting.

Tucker named his source as an international financial consultant who personally knows Bilderberg members and has done business with them for the past 20 years.

Turning to Iran, Tucker said that many Bilderberg members, including Brzezinski, were in favor of U.S. air strikes on Iran and were “leaning towards war,” although 100 per cent of members were not supportive of an attack.

“Some of them in Europe are saying no we shouldn’t do it but most of them are in favor of American air strikes on Iran,” said Tucker, adding, “They’re tilting heavily towards green lighting a U.S. attack on Iran.”

An attack on Iran would provide a welcome distraction to the globalists’ failings in other areas and would also allow them to war profiteer, pointed out Tucker.

On the subject of the euro, Tucker said that the Bilderberg elitists were determined to save the single currency even as it collapsed to a new 4-year-low at $1.19 against the dollar yesterday afternoon. As we have highlighted, the globalists are panicking at the euro’s fall and the ECB keeps intervening to try and hasten its decline. If the euro were to cease to exist, it would all but derail the ultimate agenda for a global currency because the perceived stability of using one currency for a plethora of nations would be discredited.

“The euro is important because it’s part of their world government program, they’re very downbeat because they’ve fallen so far behind,” said Tucker, explaining that the globalists had planned by now to have the European Union, the American Union and the Asia-Pacific Union already up and running.

With regard to the climate change agenda, on which subject Microsoft founder Bill Gates was personally invited to the conference to discuss, Tucker said that Bilderberg were still intent on pushing it in pursuit of a carbon tax despite the fact that the whole move was massively eviscerated in the aftermath of the Climategate scandal.

Tucker quoted one Bilderberg member as all but admitting defeat on the mission to hoodwink the public into paying taxes in the name of fighting global warming.

“On climate change, we’re about whipped,” said one of the elitists in attendance.

However, Tucker said that the globalists were working on putting out more climate change propaganda “even as we speak”.

On the issue of the BP oil spill, the Bilderbergers made it clear that President Obama’s apparent “outrage” at BP and his threat of criminal procedures against the company was an little more than an act and that British Petroleum, who have been represented at Bilderberg meetings in the past by people like Peter Sutherland, former non-executive chairman of BP, were still “one of our brothers,” according to the elitists.

The future of oil prices are always an important topic to Bilderberg and the leaks Tucker and other investigators relayed from previous Bilderberg meetings were proven accurate when oil prices hit $150 a barrel in 2008, which was precisely what Bilderberg had called for.

“Gas prices are going to be nice and cheap this summer,” said Tucker, adding that they would start to rise again to the $4 a gallon level around November when artificial scarcity is created.

On the march towards anti-democratic global government, Bilderberg members stated that America must be “Europeanized” and turned into a giant socialist welfare state with health rationing and higher income taxes.

Tucker said hat Bilderberg were intent on mandating a bank tax paid directly to the IMF to fund global governance and a global treasury department under the IMF, and that this would then merely be passed on to the consumer.

In summary, Tucker said that this year’s conference was the most downbeat and pessimistic Bilderberg meeting in history, with massive exposure of their agenda acting as a roadblock to the ultimate goal of an authoritarian world government run by the elite, for the elite.

Vatic Note: Now is the time to talk about how we can continue to put the pressure on them, so lets look at some serious options by category:

SOLUTIONS:

1. The Bilderberg Itself: Ok, lets keep the pressure on. Lets call these members on our list at Chase bank and Goldman Sachs and politicians from our congress etc. and tell them to prosecute the Bilderbergs when they try to attend any meetings in the US. Call senators, and congressmen and keep pushing, especially Texas where Perry is a big mover for them with the super highway.

2. The Euro: How can we push the Euro down? Someone with more expertise in this area would be welcome to submit suggestions how we as a nation of people can thwart their plans for the Euro. I keep thinking of those countries in Europe who have helped that to happen, so Greece and Germany and Portugal etc are the ones contributing to that lowering, germany has reinstituted its marks instead of the Euro, so something is falling apart there. I just read that Iran traded in billions in Euros from their oil bourse for Gold and that has hurt the Euro tremendously and I suspect that is why some of the GLOBALISTS want to attack Iran and steal that gold from them and take pressure off of the Euro, so lets think on this one.

3. Attacking Iran: When we call our congressmen and senators, lets make sure we tell them NO ATTACK ON IRAN OR WE WILL REFUSE TO FIGHT in any wars anymore. Service families, tell you sons, daughters, spouses, brothers, sisters, DO NOT FIGHT IN THIS WAR they will start. ITS CRITICAL THAT WE DO NOT COOPERATE NOW. We can bring them down by withdrawing our cooperation in these wars. It is something WE CAN DO, as we are always screaming "What can I do, I am just one person", well this is one thing we can and must do, and that will aid in stopping their profiteering through the blood of our children and wealth of our nation. IT MUST BE MADE CLEAR TO OUR REPS THAT WE WILL NOT COOPERATE AT ALL. Israel's children are sitting in jail on principle against fighting and harming anyone else, we must have the same attitude.

4. The Gulf: Lets try to contact some of these companies who say they can fix the problem, like the UAE and ask them to do it and that we will pay them when we take back control of our gov and bill BP for all their costs, and if they don't pay, we confiscate their rigs in the Gulf since they are still pumping oil, and give them to the UAE to continue and as payment for their work. Any better suggestions are welcome, but right now we the people have to assert ourselves in ways that work without resorting to the last resort.

5.Gun Control: You heard tucker, the Bilderbergs want the US to enforce the treaty that Obama signed for gun control globally. We need to tell our senate not to approve the treaty or there will be a revolution since with this group of murderers it would be silly to leave ourselves unable to defend ourselves and our land. Tell them WE WILL NOT GIVE UP ANY GUNS TO ANYONE WITHOUT A FIGHT.

If anyone has any other suggestions please email them to <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_EMAIL_ADDRESS> and I will publish them here on this blog and add to the 5 we have already put up. ITS TIME TO GET ON THE PHONE WITH THESE ITEMS TO YOUR CONGRESS AND PRESSURE, PRESSURE, PRESSURE, PRESSURE AS WELL AS TO THE WHITE HOUSE. LETS ROCK AND ROLL WHILE WE STILL HAVE THE MOMENTUM. Its always been up to us how this goes. Congratulations everyone for even making it this far in slowing them down..... NOW LETS STOP THEM FOR GOOD.The article is reproduced in accordance with Section 107 of title 17 of the Copyright Law of the United States relating to fair-use and is for the purposes of criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Rachel Corrie has been boarded and communications Jammed! (no update since late last night) (Where is the Turkish Navy?)

Here they go again.

(received this by an email from a viewer)The Rachel Corrie has been boarded and the radio communications jammed. This is the kind of stuff you see in war. (VN: they got caught lying last time because of the live streaming videos both inside and outside, so now they are jamming so any story they decide to fabricate they can control, make videos or do whatever they feel like, remember once someone lies to you, you can never trust them again, here that Obama?)

Vatic Note: Ok, now its time for all of us to write to our members of congress and tell them if they stand now, we will forgive all transgressions and take away the israeli's ability to threaten or blackmail our congressmen and Canada should do the same thing. ITS TIME TO TAKE IT BACK and we need our congress to free themselves of this deep blackmail that is binding them to these satanic barbaric uncivilized so called "nation". Its anything but a nation and hopefully we can finally quit calling it one and quit treating it like one SINCE THEY DON'T "ACT' LIKE ONE. This is accurate, we are slaves, and they do control and own us, but that is because we didn't know it, but we do now, so its no longer true. Wait and see.

I used to falsely believe that I lived in one of the most free nations on the planet. There was a belief in all nations that with the fall of the United States to Zionist Jewish control, that Canada would be pictured as the great beacon of freedom for all nations to model themselves after. However, Now the real truth comes out that Canada is just another in a long list of Zionist Jewish occupied territories.

You want proof as to how Canada is Zionist Jewish controlled, and the Canadian people are nothing more than slaves? Here is an article from www.thepopulist.net, where one of the major controllers of the entire planet, Adam Rothschild, comes out and calls the Canadian Prime Minister a slave, and says clearly that the Canadian Jewish Public Affairs Committee, which is just an arm of Zionist Jewish world power just like the American AIPAC, controls Canada! Here is that article:

Adam Rothschild calls the Prime Minister of Canada a slave!

June 1, 2010 in

If you read the series of posts below, taken from Facebook, you will see several comments from Adam Rothschild. In response to the post from Eric Issac, Rothschild declares;

“CJPAC owns your country; Stephen harper is like a slave”.

CJPAC is the Canadian Jewish Political Affairs Committee, and Stephen Harper is the Prime Minister of Canada. At the bottom of the screenshot Adam Rothschild makes another post:

“May Yahweh bless the CJPAC with control of the Canadian Government just like the AIPAC controls the United States

AM YISRAEL CHAI!!

This is the second dispatch from Charlie Skelton's Bilderblog. Read part one here.
"Congratulations!" grinned the man in charge of this year's Bilderberg conference, mustering as much sarcasm as a Dutchman could muster.

"You are the last guests here! You should have a banner!" he whooped, punching the air, wanting us gone. It's true – we had been dragging our heels as we left the Hotel Dolce Sitges. The folding tables were already being set up in the courtyard for participant lanyards and orientation packs. It was well past the midday "lockdown" of the hotel.

"Lockdown" at Bilderberg means that security is snapped securely shut – it means an unbreachable, Pentagon-like security cordon is tightened around this seaside hotel. (VN: They will get LOCKDOWN soon if they keep this up and it won't be near as pleasant, remind them of the Nuremberg trials, if they are lucky)

It means that hundreds (and I mean hundreds) of police, in various states of riot readiness, position themselves at every junction, every roundabout, along every road, layby and dirt track within a mile of the building. And every 15 minutes or so, ruining everyone's poolside naps, police choppers circle in the perfect sky above.

The helicopters started yesterday. The day before, as we were checking in, a couple of tourists in microlights came buzzing over the hotel before buzzing off towards the beach. For about two seconds, I thought: "Brilliant! That's how we're going to get photos! From the air!" Then I thought: "CIA snipers! Not so brilliant!".

Vatic Note: I can see why BP doesn't want videos or pictures of the intentional destruction they have caused because then they would need those swat teams the President has sent to protect BP and their precious earth destroying assets. What is worse, is you can see the REAL DAMAGE they intended to cause and since they have no souls or spirits, they have no concept of what they have done nor do they care. Its not just the oil that is the problem, ITS THE TOXIC DISBURSANTS THAT ARE KILLING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT AS IT WAS MEANT TO DO, to ensure no living thing survives in order to get to us, humans. To do what they intended requires they deprive us of any food in that gulf. Remember, they had an option for cleaning up the oil itself THAT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THISfrom reaching this level of destruction and STILL NO ONE HAS ACTED ON IT...Spare me, Obama supporters your rationalizations, since this is a"PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN BP AND THE US GOVERNMENT"as the military spokesperson has said. So I guess our government is colluding with BP to destroy our food and water. Makes you wonder exactly where this is all suppose to lead once the full contaminationof these waters, marsh lands, and inland waters are done. I read that the objective is to make it impossible to breath with that combination of oil and toxic disbursements and that was the reason they used them. If so, this is beyond crimes against humanity, its literally undescribable what we would call this kind of intentional work.
There is another post coming up here on how Campbell offered their expertise in the underwater robots at that depth, and it was ignored by both the White House and the BP people. That is when I KNEW this was intended and the only ones that can fix that are us.... we the people and now we find out if we want to do that. I do, anyone else?

Here's what President Obama didn't see when he visited the Gulf Coast: a dead dolphin rotting in the shore weeds.

"When we found this dolphin it was filled with oil. Oil was just pouring out of it. It was the saddest darn thing to look at," said a BP contract worker who took the Daily News on a surreptitious tour of the wildlife disaster unfolding in Louisiana.

The police in El Salvador have begun an investigation into whether a man suspected of leading a trafficking ring involving Central American and Caribbean women and girls is also a legal adviser to the Americans charged with trying to take 33 children out of Haiti without permission.

When the judge presiding over the Haitian case learned on Thursday of the investigation in El Salvador, he said he would begin his own inquiry of the adviser, a Dominican man who was in the judge’s chambers days before.

The inquiries are the latest twist in a politically charged case that is unfolding in the middle of an earthquake disaster zone. A lawyer for the group has already been dismissed after being accused of trying to offer bribes to get the 10 Americans out of jail.

The adviser, Jorge Puello, said in a telephone interview on Thursday that he had not engaged in any illegal activity in El Salvador and that he had never been in the country. He called it a case of mistaken identity. “I don’t have anything to do with El Salvador,” he said, suggesting that his name was as common in Latin America as John Smith is in the United States.

“There’s a Colombian drug dealer who was arrested with 25 IDs, and one of them had my name,” he said, not elaborating.

Jim Kirwan Note: Turkey (a NATO member state) has called for a meeting of NATO to discuss the attack by Israel upon them. As a NATO member state: The US is OBLIGATED, by treaty, to come to the defense of any NATO country that is attacked: Will this lead to global war against The Apartheid Zionist State of Israel?

Could WWIII actually consist of the World versus Israel?

Vatic Note: McKinney: 'Israel bought the executive branch'. This is what "Presidential material" looks like, courage, integrity, brains, humanitarian principles, etc etc. She represents what WE USED TO BE ALL ABOUT. Not any longer. Now we are about Treason, torture and terrorism which are our new morals under the leadership of the past 20 years in both parties and branches of government.

Worldwide condemnation has been flooding in since Monday when Israeli Defense Forces boarded a ship in the Medit...

RTAmerica — June 02, 2010 — Worldwide condemnation has been flooding in since Monday when Israeli Defense Forces boarded a ship in the Mediterranean, setting off a melee that left nine activist's dead and dozens wounded.The Pro-Palestinian activists intended on breaking a three year blockade of the Hamas ran Gaza strip. Cynthia Mckinney a former US Presidential candidate says that Pro-Israel lobbying has bought congress and the executive branch, which is why the US will not take action

VN: Since its been so long since we have had any one of her calibur as President of our nation, its time we saw what Presidential material looks like. Thank God there are still some out there, althought getting increasingly rare, you might say even an "Endangered Species", almost extinct.

Vatic Note: This truly was historic, in that Bilderberg was exposed by Daniel at a press conference attended by reps from the European Parliament and that is a huge move toward transparency to the globe. He did a very good job of building an argument that if we do not stop this globally, we will revert to another dark ages and population reduction as has happened in the past. Daniel is calling for a "NEW AGE OF REASON" which is exactly what we need and a new Age of Spirituality for the moral constraints that are always needed in most human endeavors. Please watch the videos and if not, then read the transcript or visit the link and do it from there. I say, is there hope? Yes, but hopefully not too late if someone can take control of that gulf away from the co-conspirators occupying the White House, such as Rahm doing someone elses dirty work. We need damage control as soon as possible. I now understand why Rahm put swat teams on the rigs, so that we would not be able to take control of the damage and fix it. That became evident when more emphasis was placed on MILITARY SOLUTIONS rather than damage control and fixing it since BP has the technology to do so and we already saw on here, that safer and cleaner alternatives exist for cleaning up the oil itself, and they are refusing to use them. Why??? What is the real agenda? LETS FIND OUT WHAT THE BILDERBERG MEETING DECIDES about that since they give the orders. Rothschild carries them out through his Israeli Khazars who are the bankers and corp board of directors.

The historic speech - denouncing Daniel Estulin's Bilderberg Group in the European Parliament

The researcher Daniel Estulin delivered a speech to the politicians in Brussels, revealing the intention of the financial elite to collapse the global economy and make the world a corporation, of which only they benefit. Traducción en español del discurso y videos de la conferencia de prensa en la sede del Parlamento Europeo y las preguntas posteriores. Spanish translation of the speech and video of the press conference at the headquarters of the European Parliament and the subsequent questions. Watch videos - transcript provided afterwards.

We are now in a position to change history. . Finally I believe that humanity has a future. A population at a demoralized and without purpose is emerging from a long sleep. In this general awakening, people are starting to ask the right questions. It is not, "what I gain from this?" But "what is right?". It is an international phenomenon of response and reaction to an outstanding perception that the world is destined for disaster at least we, people, do something about it.

I have written a book about the Bilderberg group. The book, in some ways, has become the catalyst for a movement around the world. Now, you do not have much time, so I would like to explain what is Bilderberg and why it must be stopped.

In the international financial world, there are those who lead and those events that react to events. While the latter are better known, more numerous and more powerful in appearance, the real power lies in the former. In the center of the global financial system is the financial oligarchy represented by the Bilderberg group.

The Bilderberg organizción is dynamic, meaning that changes over time, absorb and create new parts while disposing of the parties in decline. Its members come and go, but the system itself has not changed. It is a system that is self-replicating, a virtual web intertwined with financial, political, economic and industrial.

However, Bilderberg is a secret society. It is an all-seeing evil eye. There is no conspiracy but many people with their childhood fantasies see it that way. There is no conspiracy but many people with their childhood fantasies see it that way. Ningún grupo de personas, y no me importa que tan poderosas sean, se sientan alrededor de una mesa en la oscuridad, tomándose de las manos, observando una bola de cristal, planeando el futuro del mundo. No group of people, and I do not care how powerful they are, sit around a table in the dark, holding hands, having a crystal ball, planning the future of the world.

It is a reunion of people who represent a certain ideology.

It is not a global government or New World Order, as many people mistakenly believe. However, ideology is that of a global company LTD. In 1968, during a Bilderberg meeting in Canada, George Ball, Undersecretary of Economic Affairs of JFK and Johnson said: "Where do you find a legitimate basis for the power of corporate management to take decisions that may profoundly affect the economic life of nations whose governments have only a limited liability. "

The idea behind each of the Bilderberg meetings is to create what they called the aristocracy of purpose on how best to manage the planet between the elites of Europe and North America. In other words, the creation of a huge network of cartels, more powerful than any nation on Earth, destined to control the vital needs of the rest of humanity, obviously from his vantage point, for our own good and benefit. We, the lower classes (" The Great Unwashed "as they relate to us.)

However, the reason why people do not believe in the Bilderberg and other organizations working together and exercising such control on the world stage is that theirs is a Cartesian fantasy, in which isolated the intentions of some individuals, and not dynamic social processes shape the course of history as the movement of the evolution of ideas and some items over several generations and even centuries.

Bilderberg group is the medium of financial institutions that represent the most powerful and predatory financial interests. And right now, this combination is the worst enemy of humanity.

We can congratulate Bilderberg that today has become the subject of the corporate media. Not because the corporate media have suddenly remembered their responsibility to us, but because we have forced this awkward position to be aware that the presidents and prime ministers and kings and queens are tiny puppets of powerful forces operating behind the scenes .

Something has happened in the midst of general economic collapse. People are largely subject to something that does not always understand. But that leads them to act a certain way, in their own interest. That's what they are doing in Greece. That's what they are doing in the U.S..It's called the anthropic principle. It's like a tidal wave came and took our fears. The people, realizing that their existence is threatened, have lost their fear, and others perceive Bilderberg.

Maybe that's why in a recent speech at the Council on Foreign Relations in Montreal, Zbigniew Brzezinski, one of the founders of the Trilateral Commission, adivirtió that "global political awakening" in combination with internal struggles within the elite, threatened to divert the movement towards global governance.

You can see that people at this table come from different political and ideological past. What unites us, however, is that we are all patriots. And those who oppose us, those who work for secret societies, who have sold their nation for a piece of meat, are traitors. Not only traitors to their people and their nations, but of humanity as a whole.

Now, the subject of this press conference is Bilderberg: Towards a Global Company LT.

It's been about six and a half centuries, Europe's economy had collapsed in what is known as the "New Dark Ages" of Europe, the largest European economic and demographic decline since the fall of the Roman Empire. Then in the middle of the 14th century, much of the power of the oligarchy abruptly disintegrated. This decay chain erupted as the sudden collapse of the financial bubble of speculation worst debt in history (so far), when houses Brady and Peruzzi bank collapsed. The disintegration and collapse of the Lombard debt bubble collapse caused a power within families oligarchs.

What has this to do with Bilderberg?

The modern history replaced the medieval history at the time in which the institutions singularly distinguish the modern history of medieval history were put in place. What were these new institutions?

1) The conception of the modern nation-state republics under the rule of natural law
2) The central role of promoting scientific and technological progress as the mandate given to the republic.

These two ideals represent a crucial point: its existence as an institution in every part of Europe, changed everything in Europe because these institutional changes the pace of development increased per-capita and per square kilometer of mankind over nature. So no nation will not progress reached and not developed by the fear of being left hopelessly behind.

The first event occurred under the France of Louis XI, which doubled the per-capita income of France and defeated all the enemies of their nation. Louis XI's success generated a chain reaction of efforts to establish a nation-state model with the England of Henry VII.

Another key idea that came from the Council of Florence, who later was implemented in the United States, is the universal principle of general welfare, in which the entire modern society is based.

Now, welfare does not mean anything good for sitting on a couch eating pizza, drooling, watching TV, waiting to get the unemployment check.

It is a question of immortality. What is the intention of the existence of man and the government? Is to provide for the welfare of future generations of man. To ensure our survival as a species. The very beginning of the General Welfare, as expressed in the compendium in the preamble of the Federal Constitution is the fundamental law.

So how does this relate to today? These people want an empire. That is what is globalization. And too many people believe that to have an empire, you need money. They have heard the phrase: the Elite Money. But money is not a determinant of wealth and the economy. The money does not lap over the world. Money has no intrinsic value.

The human mind affects the development of the planet. This is how humanity is measured. This is the meaning of immortality. What separates us from animals is our ability to discover universal physical very beginning. It allows us to innovate, which subsequently improves people's lives by increasing the power of man over nature.

You see, they are destroying the world economy on purpose. Nor is it the first time. This was done in the 14th century in the New Dark Ages: finished with 30% of the population.

Empire: stupid people down. They want to destroy the creative powers of reason.

Growth 0, 0 progress. Club of Rome (Limits to Growth, 1973)

1980 Draft Council on Foreign Relations, promote controlled disintegration of the global economy.

Bilderberg 1995: Demand destruction. How? By destroying the world economy on purpose.

The Great Depression, "Transfer of Wealth. The Great Depression was not an event that wiped out U.S. capitalists. It was an event that made even richer by transferring wealth from people at the hands of those who were already rich. This is how the Bank of America made billions through foreclosures from 1929 to 1937. Do not think for one second that the richest of the rich will be hurt by the collapse is coming. The only ones hurt will be us.

Look at Greece. What they're trying to do is collapse the sisema, instead of allowing Greece reorganized its monetary system, are imposing that Greece is used, the Greek debt is financed by Europe. But that debt is worthless. It's garbage money monopoly. So ask him to Europe, which in turn is going through its own financial meltdown, which absorbs an unpayable debt, which the Greeks, indeed, may never pay, that will surely destroy signifcant Europe. And this is being done on purpose, because nobody, not even Barroso, who, with all respect to him, is absolutely intellectually impaired or Trichet is so stupid.

Let's get rid of the bureaucracy in Brussels. Despidámoslos everyone. All are beggars. They are useless. These people have never done anything useful in their lives. Let's get rid of Barroso. He flunked history in school. Let's get rid of Van Rumpey hypocrite, not because it is useless but because it is mailgno and very dangerous. It is not the first time a malignant little guy wins his way through the darkness toward the depths of power.

Look, it's a leadership issue and a question of immortality. All leaders of society, especially in times of crisis, are leaders because they are measured against this standard approach. People like Barroso, Van Rumpey, the European Union President Jean Claude Juncket, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, can hardly be considered leaders. In fact humans can hardly be considered under the perspective of human representation for the greater good of humanity.

Now, what I'm talking about is not a scientific issue but a moral problem. A question of immortality. "We as a nation state, as people on the planet believe in the future of mankind? And what kind of future we will have 100 or 200 years. Or what will become of us in 10,000 years? Do we have the right to dream? If we can not have a sense of purpose for being here, then the bad guys can win.

For example, we were told that the euro must be saved. That the failure of the euro will bring the downfall of the European Union. That is a lie. Instead of a weak and dysfunctional European monetary union be returned to independent nation-state republics. The Europe of our ancestors.

"Cultural diversity is not only the hallmark of progress but an insurance policy against human extinction." Once born, the concept of state nation never dies, just wait for the brave and sane human beings in their defense, and refine the concept. So we have to be a fraternity of nations, sovereign nations, united by the common purpose of humanity. Until we can bring humanity to an Age of Reason, the story will actually be formed not by the will of the bulk of humanity but for the few that, good or bad intentions, leading the destiny of man as a herd of cows is driven back and forth through the fields and occasionally also to the slaughter.

Vatic Note: The Georgia Guidestone in Georgia out east. Then the Egyption God Anubis, in the center of the country and finally is there something for out west? Does anyone remember about these illuminati and their connections to the Egyptian special rites they performed and their training and the plans for the world under such special rites??? Just wondering because I had not studied this, yet had heard somethings about it and its connection all these years later to the illuminati currently ruining our planet and our lives. Wonder if this is a symbol of that happening? Or maybe its as this article says. I keep going back to the guidestone and the Blow out in the Gulf. Hard not to make these connections isn't it? The question is, "Is it staying in Denver or moving on with the exhibit. I guess that will clear up many things.

Lets watch this video first and then read what they want us to think about it all. Then see the remaining videos about the denver airport at the end of the article.

Ever since it was first installed at Denver International Airport, the 32-foot-tall blue "Mustang" has been the talk of the town, but a new addition is sure to get plenty of attention.

A crew is installing a seven-ton, 26-foot-tall concrete sculpture of an Egyptian god at the airport. Anubis, a statue with a jackal-head, will be built south of the Jeppesen Terminal.

Although part of the lore of the 9,000-pound "Mustang" is that its creator, Luis Jiménez, was tragically killed while making the piece, Anubis may be even more notorious. He's the Egyptian god of death and the afterlife. It's being put in to preview the Denver Art Museum's King Tut exhibit. The exhibit runs June 29 through Jan. 9, 2011, and Anubis will be standing guard during that time.

First Piece Of King Tut Exhibit On Display At DIA

The big King Tut exhibit doesn't open at the Denver Art Museum until the end of the month, but the first piece is already on display, standing tall outside Denver International Airport. It is an exhibition of royal artifacts thousands of years in the making and it's never been seen in Denver before and will never be again --

"Tutankhamun the Golden King and the Great Pharaoh."

One of the biggest sculptures from a new exhibit of ancient Egypt was unveiled Wednesday at the airport to kickoff the event. In a mere 27 days Denver will go Tut crazy. The installation of the 7-ton, 26-foot tall statue of Anubis took place at the south end of the DIA terminal. Anubis was the ancient Egyptian god of the afterlife.

"It's an exhibition of about 100 objects, both from King Tut's tomb, and 2,000 years of ancient Egyptian history. And it really walks people through what pharaohs' life was like, what families' life was like; and then you'll actually go down some stairs and into a space that's basically a replicated tomb of King Tutankhamun and see about 50 or so objects from the King's tomb," Kristy Bassuener with the Denver Art Museum said.

The polyurethane and steel structure took some time and effort to build. The wind blew it around and a crane got stuck in the gravel, but Anubis would not be denied. "These objects are incredibly important. They very rarely travel outside of Egypt. They are priceless treasures from long ago," Bassuener said. "This is the first time King Tut's treasures have ever been to the Rocky Mountain region."

And now with Anubis in place the countdown begins toward a 6-month, once-in-a-lifetime exhibit filled with treasures never before seen and never to be seen again. The statue of Anubis is right in front of the windows at the south end of the main terminal at DIA. The exhibit opens on June 29 and runs through Jan. 9.

Vatic Note: I have put this one up for a much different reason than in the past. Its to show the pervasiveness and the PATTERN of the pedophilia in this world now especially with Israeli Khazars. I believe the evidence support that at the very highest levels of these professions, the people exist based on recruitment as children themselves, thus mind controlled and owned. Remember our various research projects on Satanism, pedophilia and mind control shows that those who are pedophiles in adult life were abused as children. Normally we would not notice any systemic pattern to this, but now that so many at the high levels of Gov, NGO's, Science, etc have been caught, and they are in key positions to be blackmailed, then I believe they may have been selected and prepared early on through their own parents.
Also note that Israel has the biggest problem in this area of all. We have been watching arrests after arrests not only in Israel, but here, and in many Hasidic communities all over the world. Remember, Lithuania and we just covered one in the Dominican Republic. Remember Sarkovsky in France freed pedophiles arrested in France for child slave trade and he freed them. We speculated but did not cover it at the time as we did not have this pattern yet established by the research.

The former director of B'nai Brith Quebec has pleaded guilty to child pornography charges after agreeing to a plea bargain.

The former director of B’nai Brith Quebec, Bill Surkis, has pleaded guilty to child pornography charges after agreeing to a plea bargain.

Surkis and his wife made a brief appearance at the Montreal courthouse Wednesday morning

In return for a guilty plea to charges of possessing and accessing child pornography, the Crown dropped a charge of distributing child pornography, said prosecutor Cynthia Gyenizse.

Explicit files were discovered on Surkis’ computer when he brought it in for repairs in 2008.

The technician contacted police after 86 videos and 153 photos were found, including images of girls aged six to 12 years.

Surkis’s lawyer had previously said he would argue the videos were downloaded as part of research Surkis was undertaking.

“The purpose of his viewing the child pornography material [was] to educate himself on the topic of child pornography,” lawyer Steven Slimovitch told CBC News outside court in November 2009. “Then he would go into schools and give lectures on people abusing people.”

But, prosecutors said there was no evidence of that. Surkis had not been hired anywhere to research child pornography and had not begun work on a study, they said.

Surkis’s admission of guilt came as a surpise to those who knew the man who also served as the Academic Dean at John Abbott College for 22 years. He had also served as the executive director of the Holocaust Centre in Montreal.

“Shocking a person like that you hold in high esteem,” said one woman who attended proceedings at the Montreal courthouse.

“The shock is how come it was in the closet for so long,” said another man.

Surkis now faces a minimum sentence of three months behind bars.

He is due back in court Sept. 27.

In the meantime, Surkis remains free on very strict conditions. The father and grandfather was ordered to stay away from anyone under the age of 18 in private locations unless another adult, who was aware of the charges against him, was present.

He was also forbidden from accessing the Internet unless it was for work. In such cases, he was prohibited from erasing the web history from his computer. Surkis was also barred from leaving the province while he awaits sentencing.

Vatic Note: This is the problem when a nation does not play fair within the international community. If SA had not rejected the ownership of those nukes, who knows what Mugbe type leaders might have done by now with such power. Its literally a risk the world cannot take. As it is with Israel we are still dealing with the "Sampson Option" and the gulf is just a small sample of what that could do to us if done on a global scale. Right now, we still have not absorbed the impact, as a nation of what BP did and the serious harm to our country. Once that is realized, it will hit us hard the consequences of our silence, ignorance and the life threatening ability of these foreign corporations to destroy us with just one explosion on a strategic level. They are now acting and becoming full fledged "countries" with their own weapons of mass destruction and their own foreign policy, their own private armies now, like Blackwater, and they are being shoved down everyones throat. That is the results of too much power concentrated in the hands of too few people. Time to take that power back again, until we can get some "humans" running those companies with a sense of serious responsibility.
