EARTH'S MAGNETOSPHERE TONIGHT

Have been personally doing some research on what is going on with our planet's magnetosphere - one of the latest and very credible sources explained it (and I will attempt to translate - in my layman's description) as our solar system passing through an area of the galaxy of very high magnetism affecting our sun and its solar system. He referred to what is taking place and will continue perhaps until 2013+ as a type of huge magnetic squeeze coming forth from the Milky Way galaxy. That this will be resulting in a continuing of very strange weather together with increase in solar outbursts and events, earthquakes, tectonic activity and volcanism. Essentially we will need to hold on for the ride and get used to it.

STRIPES' PACIFIC STORM TRACKER BLOG: Updates on Melor
Posted October 6th, 2009

Midnight Japan time Tuesday, Oct. 6: All indications remain the same, except Typhoon Melor's forecast track keeps inching further northwest of the Kanto Plain toward the mountains of Central Honshu known as the Japan Alps. Okinawa getting buffeted by 50-mph gusts and rain bands as I type this; that should end late Wednesday morning. Landfall still forecast by Joint Typhoon Warning Center for 9 a.m. Thursday over Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture more than 200 miles west-southwest of Tokyo, at which point it will still be packing 80-mph sustained winds and 100-mph gusts.

YOKOSUKA NAVAL BASE, Japan — Most of 7th Fleet’s ships and fighter jets have left their bases near Tokyo in advance of Typhoon Melor’s impending arrival, officials said Tuesday.

As of 5 p.m. Tuesday, forecasters predicted Typhoon Melor’s eye to veer about 160 miles west of the Kanto Plain, which includes bases from all four branches of the armed forces. Meteorologists still expected Wednesday and Thursday to come with heavy rains and winds gusting up to 75 mph over inland areas such as Naval Air Facility Atsugi, 30 miles southwest of Tokyo.

The storm’s eye was projected to come ashore at Hamamatsu, packing 98 mph sustained winds and 121 mph gusts, as of Tuesday evening.

“This (typhoon) is one where we felt it prudent to get the ships out to sea for safety,” 7th Fleet spokesman Cmdr. Jeff Davis said.

The USS Shiloh, USS Fitzgerald and USS Lassen each left Yokosuka — about 35 miles south of Tokyo — on Monday. The aircraft carrier USS George Washington, USS Cowpens, USS O’Kane and USS Mustin left Tuesday, he said.

Most of the ships were already scheduled to get under way shortly, Davis said. Only the USS Lassen will return to port following the storm.

The USS John S. McCain, USS Stethem and U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Assateague remained at Yokosuka on Tuesday, as did multiple destroyers on the Japanese side of the harbor.

The USNS Able, a contracted ship owned by the Military Sealift Command, moved from its less-protected berth in Yokohama over to Yokosuka.

Meanwhile, fighter jets based at Atsugi flew out to sea to land on the USS George Washington on Tuesday, said Atsugi base spokesman Tim McGough.

Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light 51’s helicopters and the base’s C-12 airplanes are being secured in hangars, he said.

The military bases surrounding Tokyo are likely to get six to 10 inches of rainfall, Lt. Allan Howard of Naval Aviation Forecast Detachment Atsugi said Tuesday. Howard expects the heaviest rain between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Thursday.

Earlier this week, the storm’s eye appeared to be headed within about 30 miles of Yokosuka. Despite Melor’s turn to the west, the cool, dry air upstream of the storm will likely still mean high winds over the Kanto Plain, Howard said.

War On the Rock!

Nasa figures conditions will be right to bomb the moon on Friday of this week. All of which seems terribly 'me-too'ish" since India has already figured out that there's water on the moon. With all the high powered surveillance technology we have to monitor civilians, why aren't we aiming some antennas and stealing the data from some other countries? Seem like a high payback approach to me...

I don't suppose anyone has asked if there are alien bases on the backside of the moon, how they would take it?

Am not going to talk alot about the economic situation of our nation tonight. Suffice it to say CHINA has NOT DENIED their announcement of a NEW ORDER to London and the US last night through The Independent. Corporate-government news has quieted the sleeping sheeple Americans by all kinds of articles about the Arabs denying they had such a secret meeting with the Chinese, Russians, Japanese and French. But then, lying to Infidels is a highly accept way to deal with Infidels. The War drums are beating - articles just off of the Drudge Report only:

POLITICS: TROOP BUILD-UP IN AFGHANISTAN MAY BE GAINING FAVOR... PUBLIC UNEASE... GALLUP: OBAMA CLINGS TO 50% APPROVAL... MORE WAR...
Israel intercepts plane overflying nuclear reactor... Police bring reinforcements to Jerusalem... ...tensions simmer

The Western banksters need a war to take the pressure off what is happening with their financial system - a banking system that can create US$ out of thin air and then charge taxpayers interest on magically appearing money - their own greed in selling quadrillions of dollars worth of fraudulent derivatives. Treasury bond sales upcoming and bank closures on Friday after market closings - will be ugly facts with the FDIC bankrupt and large sized banks looking more than sick! Well ... we are here for a ride on this planet and things will be getting anything but boring! Learning to live in a 3rd world economy will be just one of our challenges.

Maybe what we need to make it even more interesting is a good alien invasion after NASA bombs the moon on Friday??

Have a good one and behave ... remember this is police state USA.

October 5, 2009 - Mexicans typically must pay smugglers about $1,500 for help in making the trek across a sun-seared landscape that is as dangerous as it is majestic. The fees for Central Americans and South Americans often reach $6,000. A group of bewildered Haitians, intercepted a few years ago in Tucson after three nights spent hiking in circles in a canyon, had coughed up $10,000; another $10,000 was to have been paid upon arrival in the Chicago area.

The Chinese, who come almost exclusively from Fujian province, pay the most. They often have to work off fees of between $30,000 and $70,000 over the course of several years as indentured servants in the sweat shops and kitchens of New York and other cities....

NEWS FROM THE REPUBLIC OF LAKOTA

Republic of Lakota | Blood on the Maple Leaf - Recent killings linked to Canadian Nickel Mine in Guatemala - 2 Qeqchi Leaders Killed & dozen+ wounded

October 4, 2009

RECENT KILLINGS LINKED TO CANADIAN-OWNED NICKEL MINE IN GUATEMALA

Written by Dawn Paley

Source: The Dominion

Two Qeqchi leaders were shot and killed and over a dozen wounded this week near the site of a shuttered nickel mine in Guatemala.

The first shooting took place on Sunday, September 27 on land claimed by the community of Las Nubes, which Compañia Guatemalteca de Niquel (CGN), a subsidiary of Manitoba’s HudBay Minerals, also claims to own.

Early reports indicated CGN’s private security guards opened fire while attempting to remove families from their land. Adolfo Ichi Chamán, a teacher and community leader, was killed by gunshot, at least eight more wounded by bullets fired from an AK-47.

Prensa Libre, Guatemala’s leading newspaper, reported that during Chamán’s funeral service yesterday, thousands of people marched through the streets of El Estor, demanding that the company and the local police chief withdraw from the area within 24 hours.

HudBay released a lengthy statement yesterday claiming that there were no evictions, but instead that “protestors” went on a rampage, attacking government vehicles, a local police station (where they allegedly stole automatic weapons), destroying a hospital built by a coalition of US NGOs, and wounding five employees.

Hudbay goes on to make the absurd claim that the protesters proceeded to open fire on each other.

Liezel Hill of Mining Weekly went on to parrot the company’s version of events, as did the Canadian Press and Reuters.

One day after the murder of Chamán, men armed with machine guns opened fire on a mini-bus carrying Indigenous educators and leaders from the El Estor region to Cobán. One man, Martin Choc, was killed, and at least nine more wounded.

These killings are a flare up in a tense area, where the track record of Canadian mining companies includes forced displacement over multiple generations, co-operation with the army, and the burning of homes belonging to Indigenous people.

Shortly after a series of violent evictions that took place on nearby lands in 2007, Skye Resources (later acquired by Hudbay) representatives went on the record and lied through their teeth to defend their actions.

The English-language corporate media has repeatedly turned a blind eye to recent and past events unfolding in El Estor. This kind of reporting facilitates corporate lies and deceit, plain and simple.

Lies and deceit are just what HudBay needs, not only to avoid an international outcry over the recent killings, but also to spin a mining project that is not likely to produce any nickel at all.

Telegraph.co.uk | Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad revealed to have Jewish past

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's vitriolic attacks on the Jewish world hide an astonishing secret, evidence uncovered by The Daily Telegraph shows.
Published: 7:30AM BST 03 Oct 2009 A photograph of the Iranian president holding up his identity card during elections in March 2008 clearly shows his family has Jewish roots.

A close-up of the document reveals he was previously known as Sabourjian – a Jewish name meaning cloth weaver.

The short note scrawled on the card suggests his family changed its name to Ahmadinejad when they converted to embrace Islam after his birth.

The Sabourjians traditionally hail from Aradan, Mr Ahmadinejad's birthplace, and the name derives from "weaver of the Sabour", the name for the Jewish Tallit shawl in Persia. The name is even on the list of reserved names for Iranian Jews compiled by Iran's Ministry of the Interior.

Experts last night suggested Mr Ahmadinejad's track record for hate-filled attacks on Jews could be an overcompensation to hide his past.

Ali Nourizadeh, of the Centre for Arab and Iranian Studies, said: "This aspect of Mr Ahmadinejad's background explains a lot about him.

"Every family that converts into a different religion takes a new identity by condemning their old faith.

"By making anti-Israeli statements he is trying to shed any suspicions about his Jewish connections. He feels vulnerable in a radical Shia society."

A London-based expert on Iranian Jewry said that "jian" ending to the name specifically showed the family had been practising Jews.

"He has changed his name for religious reasons, or at least his parents had," said the Iranian-born Jew living in London. "Sabourjian is well known Jewish name in Iran."

A spokesman for the Israeli embassy in London said it would not be drawn on Mr Ahmadinejad's background. "It's not something we'd talk about," said Ron Gidor, a spokesman.

The Iranian leader has not denied his name was changed when his family moved to Tehran in the 1950s. But he has never revealed what it was change from or directly addressed the reason for the switch.

Relatives have previously said a mixture of religious reasons and economic pressures forced his blacksmith father Ahmad to change when Mr Ahmadinejad was aged four. FULL STORY

WE LIVE IN STRANGE TIMES
And they keep getting stranger....

What does a headline like this out of England mean? Hum....

Telegraph.co.uk | World Bank could run out of money 'within 12 months'

Does this mean that the fed's Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) can't borrow money from the World Bank - since FDIC is wanting to borrow from banks to keep their "insurance corporation" going?

There will be alot of third world countries that won't be crying if the World Bank goes down the drain. Since these countries have to sign away their resources to that bank for any help they get - water is a resource to the greedy banksters:

“Industry analysts predict that private water will soon be a capitalized market as precious, and as war-provoking, as oil”.^[50] Goldman continues to argue “These days, an indebted country cannot borrow capital from the World Bank or IMF without a domestic water privatization policy as a precondition”.^[51]

But then (act surprised) where is the World Bank headquartered?

The World Bank headquarters in Washington, D.C.

The President of the World Bank is always a citizen of the United States, nominated by the President of the United States (though subject to the approval of the other member countries).

The federal government (in bed with greedy banksters) have been busy gobbling up the ownership of all water in the United States for a reason. Its a commodity - and as above set out - a valuable commodity. If you're going to pillage and loot our country ... you have to do it right.

Chief Red Cloud (age 90) to Obama: Black Hills are Not For Sale -

There has yet been NO response

Chief Oliver Red Cloud, Lakota, issued a statement to President Obama requesting a meeting more than two weeks ago and is yet to receive a response. Chief Red Cloud, 90, told Obama the Black Hills are not — and have never been — for sale

September 13, 2009
The Honorable Barack H. Obama
President of the United States of America
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

Dear Mr. President:

I am the Itancan (chief) of the Oglala Lakota Band of the Great Sioux Nation and Chairman of the Black Hills Sioux Nation Treaty Council, the traditional governing body of the eight bands of the Lakota Nation.

The Lakota Nation entered into and has always abided by the provisions of the Fort Laramie Treaties of 1851 and 1868. However, the United States of America has repeatedly violated and unilaterally attempted to abrogate the Treaties in violation of accepted international standards and codified international treaty law.

The Black Hills Sioux Nation Treaty Council, acting under the guidelines of Article XI of the U.S. Constitution, reaffirms its declaration of inherent authority as a separate and distinct entity from the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act Government of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the Interior Department of the United States Government. The Black Hills Sioux Nation Treaty Council is committed to upholding the 1851 and 1868 Ft. Laramie Treaties and will employ its’ inherent authority to decision making and leadership to protect the integrity of, and our rights in these treaties.

The I.R.A. Government acts as an extension of the United States and carries out its orders.
Your office has sent a mandate to Lakota Bands to initiate a dialogue concerning the Black Hills Land Claim Settlement. How can the United States Government negotiate with I.R.A. Governments, which is an extension of itself?

It is necessary to issue this statement due to current discussions between I.R.A. Tribal Presidents, regarding the United States Governments’ Supreme Court action to award monies for the illegal taking of the 1851 and 1868 Ft. Laramie Treaty Territory and other Treaty violations.

We forever oppose the acceptance of any money for our sacred lands.

We recently met with U.S. Senator John Thune’s staff to discuss our frustration with the I.R.A. Governments blatant disregard for our inherent authority over treaty issues.

I am 90 years old now. I have spent the better part of my adult life fighting for the return of our sacred He Sapa (Black Hills). I want to create something better for the next seven generations.

I would like to meet with you as soon as possible to address our concerns. Please have your staff contact my administrative assistant, Natalie Hand at (605) 867-5762 (605) 867-5762 , for scheduling.

Sincerely,

Officials declared the area around the city of Messina in north east Sicily a disaster zone after three hours of thunderstorms brought "apocalyptic" scenes of destruction.

Saturday, October 3, 2009 - Roads, rail lines and buildings were submerged in water and engulfed by rocks and trees. Worst hit were mountain villages Giampilieri and Briga, where nine inches of rain swept away cars and homes.

Concetta Auditore, 77, said: "It was like hell. Everything collapsed in on us."
