100,000 Wells About to Go Dry: NASA Finds California Drought Removing 4 Trillion Gallons of Water Each Year

As of October 4, the State of California had entered its 4th year of a raging drought that shows no sign of abating. A drought that a growing number of studies are linking to human-caused climate change. A drought that appears to be readying to level a terrible blow at residents, communities and farmers living in the increasingly dessicated Central Valley region.

State reservoirs, despite ever-heightening restrictions on water use, were 43 percent lower than is typical for this time of year. And the state’s largest reservoir — Lake Oroville — had declined to 30% of capacity by early October (record lowest level is 27 percent capacity set in 1977).

Failure Is Success: How American Intelligence Works in the Twenty-First Century

“While taxpayer dollars flowed into your coffers, no one considered it a problem that the country lacked 17 overlapping outfits bent on preventing approximately 400,000 deaths by firearms in the same years; nor 17 interlocked agencies dedicated to safety on our roads, where more than 450,000 Americans have died since 9/11”

MintPressNews, October 2, 2014

What are the odds? You put about $68 billion annually into a maze of 17 major intelligence outfits. You build them glorious headquarters. You create a global surveillance state for the ages. You listen in on your citizenry and gather their communications in staggering quantities. Your employees even morph into avatars and enter video-game landscapes, lest any Americans betray a penchant for evil deeds while in entertainment mode. You collect information on visits to porn sites just in case, one day, blackmail might be useful. You pass around naked photos of them just for… well, the salacious hell of it. Your employees even use aspects of the system you’ve created to stalk former lovers and, within your arcane world, that act of “spycraft” gains its own name: LOVEINT.

Stephen E. Arnold: EU Concludes Google is Hurting the Internet

Commerce, Corruption, Idiocy, Ineptitude, IO Impotency

Quote to Note: Users Want Relevant Results

October 6, 2014

I highlighted this remarkable, earth shaking statement from “Google+ Is Hurting the Internet.” Here’s the passage:

…they [users] prefer to get the most relevant results.

The information appears in a Web page presenting “objective study results” conducted for a European group.

The target is poor, old Google. The company has to pump up revenues and margins. Amazon and Facebook are embracing online advertising. The Google X moonshots have not delivered big bucks to the Mountain View redoubt. Mobile search behaves differently from the old fashioned pay to play content inspired by the GoTo, Overture, and Yahoo approach.

What to do?

Berto Jongman: Pedophilia at the Highest Levels Including Law Enforcement — The “Untouchables”

06 Family, 07 Other Atrocities, 09 Justice, 11 Society

Operation Yewtree: New Sex Abuse Suspects are ‘Untouchable’ Senior Policemen and Politicians

The names of at least 12 public figures, including policemen and politicians, have been passed on to police investigating claims of historic sexual abuse.

Investigative reporter Mark Williams Thomas passed on the names to officers working under Operation Yewtree, the Metropolitan Police inquiry investigating sex abuse allegations in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal.

Thomas, who two years ago helped expose Savile as one of the most prolific paedophiles in British history by presenting a documentary first highlighting his abuse, said the new claims involve some “very powerful” people who are alleged to have committed sex abuse crimes between the 1950s and 1980s.

Robert Steele: Ebola Today – Alex Jones Today UPDATE: Vaccines, Earth Healing

02 Infectious Disease, 07 Health, 07 Other Atrocities, 08 Wild Cards, 10 Security, Corruption, DHS, Director of National Intelligence et al (IC), Government, Ineptitude, IO Deeds of War, Officers Call

UPDATE 7 OCT 14 to add vaccines and vitamin c, infection and mutation rate, additional references from Berto Jongman, Marcus Aurelius, and Owl.

From where I sit, there are four threads to be explored in relation to Ebola; I will be discussing these with Alex Jones at 1 pm EST tomorrow.

01 CDC incompetence and outright treason — malicious deception and misinformation

02 Saudi importation of Ebola via diplomatic pouch and the infection of 20 Saudi students hidden among the 100,000 or so that are already in the US, entrenched, and invisible to US counterintelligence and what passes for homeland security

03 False flag treason by rogue elements of the US Government perhaps funded covertly by rogue private sector elements, NOT approved by the White House or the Cabinet level — possibly the same people that could have unleashed Ebola in Africa as a test of the new weaponized variations for which vaccines exist in short supply for the favored few. The Nazi hydra could be buried in here someplace.

Chuck Spinney: Vladimir Putin on Spiritual, Cultural, and National Self-Determination

Cultural Intelligence, Peace Intelligence

The mass media and political elite has been demonizing Russian President Vladimir Putin for resisting the events flowing from the US inspired coup in Ukraine. Attached is a speech that reveals Putin’s view the Russian idea, and by extension of himself, or at least how he would like people to think of him. No doubt, there are parts of this speech readers will disagree with — but it is well worth reading and thinking about.

‘It is impossible to move forward without spiritual, cultural and national self-determination'

Vladimir Putin spoke before the final plenary meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club, outlining Russia’s urgent need for a united national idea in order to succeed in a global environment. [Official translation]

Berto Jongman: German Universities Now Free — To International Students as Well as German Students

04 Education

German Universities Ditch Fees

Even international students can now study anywhere in Germany for free, as Britain’s youth continues to be angered over the issue.

Lower Saxony has become the last of Germany’s states to abolish fees for university students.

Announcing the decision, science and culture minister Gabrielle Heinen-Kjajic was quoted by germanpulse.com as saying in a statement the decision was taken “because we do not want higher education which depends on the wealth of the parents”.
