Owl: Will Elite Sacrifice Clinton (Pun Intended) to Focus Pedophilia Hunt on Him? – PBI Way Bigger than Monica Update 2

06 Family, 07 Other Atrocities, 09 Justice, 10 Transnational Crime, 11 Society, Civil Society, Corruption, Government, Law Enforcement, Officers Call

To paraphrase a line from a famous American novel, “The rich are different from you and me. They are practicing pederasts.”

That's what I think of in reading the articles below of the pederast scandal involving billionaire Jeffrey Epstein and the very rich and powerful people who may have used his pedo pimping services, as seen in the articles below, may blow over (especially if Epstein is “suicided”) or expanded if more salacious details emerge. Too soon to say, but one could hope it will expand.

SchwartzReport: $14M an HOUR “War on Terror”

03 Economy, 07 Other Atrocities, 10 Transnational Crime, 11 Society, Commerce, Corruption, Government, IO Deeds of War, Military, Officers Call, Peace Intelligence

I don't know when I have been as angered by a story as I have been by this one. Fourteen million dollars an hour for 13 years. Imagine what could have been done with that money to ease the lives of the 17 million minor children who experience hunger each year, or the 2.5 million children who are homeless each year, or the destitute elderly living on dog food. What could have been done with that money to rebuild our failing infrastructure, or our crumbling schools, or to improve our poor healthcare system. And that money is independent of the over $400 billion spent on the grotesque F-35 project I reported on yesterday. All of this made possible by phony-patriot war criminals beginning with Bush and Cheney, and passed by a Congress of cretins, too weak and pusillanimous to serve the people who elected them. A government “by the people for the people,” not in anyway I can measure.

Sepp Hasslberger: Vaccines are Harmful…Period

07 Health, 07 Other Atrocities, Commerce, Corruption, Earth Intelligence, Government, Idiocy

Dr. Moulden said it clearly, that vaccines are first and foremost harmful. He was hounded to death for it…

Moulden – A Search for Life and Truth

Canadian physician Dr. Andrew Moulden provided clear scientific evidence to prove that every dose of vaccine given to a child or an adult produces harm. The truth that he uncovered was rejected by the conventional medical system and the pharmaceutical industry. Nevertheless, his warning and his message to America remains as a solid legacy of the man who stood up against big pharma and their program to vaccinate every person on the Earth. Dr Moulden died unexpectedly in November of 2013 at age 49. Read more.

Chuck Spinney: Marisa Taylor on Criminally Dysfunctional Intelligence and Defense “Whistleblower” System — Screw the Truth, Kill the Messenger

Corruption, Government, Military

Below is superb piece of reportage by Marisa Taylor of the Washington McClatchy bureau. By a meticulous compilation of facts, Ms. Taylor has painted a detailed portrait of how this homeostatic control system protects normalcy in bureaucratic cultures. The only point I would disagree with is her characterization of this system as being “broken.” To my thinking, the system is working perfectly, and the use of the label whistleblower oils its gears.

Intelligence, defense whistleblowers remain mired in broken system

Chuck Spinney's lengthy comment below the line.

07 Other Atrocities, Corruption, Government, IO Impotency, Military

Here is what the American Surveillance State looks like (publicly) to Europe. This is a German assessment published in one of Europe's leading publications. I confess I don't like my country being thought of in this way.
