This is the beginning of the butcher's bill Japan is going to have to pay as result of Fukushima. It is a slow motion human disaster, to match the environmental one.
Why are young people in America so frustrated these days? You are about to find out. Most young adults started out having faith in the system. They worked hard, they got good grades, they stayed out of trouble and many of them went on to college. But when their educations where over, they discovered that the good jobs that they had been promised were not waiting for them at the end of the rainbow. Even in the midst of this so-called “economic recovery”, the full-time employment rate for Americans under the age of 30 continues to fall. And incomes for that age group continue to fall as well. At the same time, young adults are dealing with record levels of student loan debt. As a result, more young Americans than ever are putting off getting married and having families, and more of them than ever are moving back in with their parents.
It can be absolutely soul crushing when you discover that the “bright future” that the system had been promising you for so many years turns out to be a lie. A lot of young people ultimately give up on the system and many of them end up just kind of drifting aimlessly through life. The following is an example from a recent Wall Street Journal article…
Yesterday, I was asked to comment on the DC shooting rampage by Russia Today and Press TV. Reports told of a “terrorist” jumping out of a car and holding a raging gun battle with beleaguered unpaid defenders of America.
Now we find that a dental hygienist who never had a parking ticket, unarmed, baby in the back seat, was gunned down by dozens of heavily armed counter-terrorism groups from around the nation, in Washington on a “training exercise.” YouTube – Veterans Today –
I just can’t take this anymore.
Wasn’t it a few days ago another African America, this one a Buddhist, DOD contractor, the “perp” in the Navy Yard incident?
I keep going back to Sandy Hook:
Mom was a teacher…then she wasn’t.
Mom was found dead in the school, then she wasn’t
Suspect killed his brother in New Jersey, then didn’t.
The shooter was a student at the school, then he wasn’t.
He drove his car, then it turned out to belong to someone else.
School psychologist “looked in his eyes,” then only “saw his shoes”
FBI agents onsite spoke to each other in Hebrew
Original suspect was dressed as a nun, then no longer existed
Other suspects arrested in video “chase”
They then they disappeared, unnamed, no arrest records, no police reports
Invisible “nun” fled in a van to a safehouse in New York
Safehouse was watched for days, then found to be home for two Israeli’s publishing white supremacist literature
Safehouse had weapons magazines (clips) but no weapons
Suspect shooter bought guns, trained on ranges but no records nor videos exist and all gun stores and ranges video EVERYTHING
Full forensic report was promised in 30 days, then 6 months now “when hell freezes over”
Hell has frozen over and still no report

We don’t even want to begin with the Gifford’s shooting. I stopped believing 9/11 when the F 15′s tasked with shooting down airliners that could have been hijacked and crashed into stadiums with over 100,000 dead, flew around aimlessly, untrained pilots, even landed and took off again, then crashed into buildings.
Two of them had no wreckage or bodies, one of them actually flew 15 feet underground, crossing the Potomac River through the sewer system it seems.
The Gifford’s fiasco, police arrived in 45 minutes though twelve police were scheduled to be “onsite” including 3 mounted units for crowd control. All had “blue flu” that day. This is one of about 300 “inconsistencies.
The shooter? He had belonged to a special military “pre-enlistment program” for mentally deficient prospects that offered free psychiatric care and medication.
He was the only one to belong to this program, though we suspect others, Dr. Hassan for instance, perhaps a few more. Guess who they were?
A criminal jury in Britain viewed this film at the trial of John Anthony Hill and deemed the information contained as both reasonable and true.
What does this mean?
Well, riddle me this:
You are holding a terror drill. You hire an Israeli company. Not unreasonable. They do these things.
The Israeli company hires young Muslims to carry backpacks filled with simulated explosives, actors to participate in the “drill.”
The underground/metro/subway cars the “actors” were riding in were destroyed by bombs, later to have been found to have been buried under the tracks though police still claim they were in the actors backpacks.
Read that one twice.
Other evidence strongly suggests that at least one other “actor” found his backpack had real explosives in it. Watch the film.
Prettymuch every recent terror attack is similar.
Where the hell are the real terrorists and crazed lone gunmen?
The August chemical weapons attack in the Syrian capital’s suburbs was done by a Saudi Arabian black operations team, Russian diplomatic sources have told a Russian news agency.
“Based on data from a number of sources a picture can be pieced together. The criminal provocation in Eastern Ghouta was done by a black op team that the Saudi’s sent through Jordan and which acted with support of the Liwa Al-Islam group,” a source in the diplomatic circles told Interfax.
The attack and its consequences had a huge impact on the Syrian situation, another source said.
“Syrians of various political views, including some opposition fighters, are seeking to inform diplomats and members of international organizations working in Syria what they know about the crime and the forces which inspired it,” he told the agency.
Liwa Al-Islam is an Islamist armed group operating near Damascus headed by the son of a Saudi-based Salafi cleric. The group claimed responsibility for the bombing of a secret governmental meeting in Damascus in July 2012 that killed a number of top Syrian officials, including Defense Minister Dawoud Rajiha, his deputy Asef Shawkat, and Assistant Vice President Hassan Turkmani.
The allegations mirror a number of earlier reports, which pointed to Saudi Arabia as the mastermind behind the sarin gas attack, which almost led to US military action against Syrian government. Proponents of this scenario say intelligence services in Riyadh needed a false flag operation to provoke an American attack in Syria, which would tip the balance in favor of the armed opposition supported by Saudi Arabia.
It is the nature of fundamentalist religion, of whatever stripe, to be authoritarian, sexually repressive, and patriarchal. But beneath that there is also the lingering stench of sex abuse — human nature will not be denied, and when healthy sexual expression is not supported its dark side pedophilia emerges. I have done many pieces on the Roman! Catholic Church, and several on the Ultra-orthodox Jews. Now comes a report from inside the Evangelical Protestant world about what is going on there.
AUSTIN, Texas (RNS) The Christian mission field is a ‘magnet” for sexual abusers, Boz Tchividjian, a Liberty University law professor who investigates abuse said Thursday (Sept. 26) to a room of journalists.
While comparing evangelicals to Catholics on abuse response, ”I think we are worse,” he said at the Religion Newswriters Association conference, saying too many evangelicals had ‘sacrificed the souls” of young victims.
NEW YORK, 3 October 2013 (IRIN) – Organized environmental crime is known to pose a multi-layered threat to human security, yet it has long been treated as a low priority by law enforcers, seen as a fluffy “green” issue that belongs in the domain of environmentalists.
But due to a variety of factors – including its escalation over the past decade, its links to terrorist activities, the rising value of environmental contraband and the clear lack of success among those trying to stem the tide – these crimes are inching their way up the to-do lists of law enforcers, politicians and policymakers.
The recent terror attack on the popular Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya, has placed environmental crimes like the ivory and rhino horn trade under increased scrutiny. Al-Shabab, the Islamist militant group that has taken credit for the attack, is widely believed to fund as much as 40 percent of its activities from elephant poaching, or the “blood ivory” trade. The Lord’s Resistance Army, a brutal rebel group active in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Central African Republic, is also known to be funded through elephant poaching.
Rising incomes in Asia have stimulated demand for ivory and rhino horn, leading to skyrocketing levels of poaching. Over the past five years, the rate of rhino horn poaching in South Africa has increased sevenfold as demand in Vietnam and other Asian countries for the horn – used as cancer treatments, aphrodisiacs and status symbols – grows.
“Drop in the ocean”
On the international stage, politicians – alarmed by increasing evidence of links between terrorist organizations and organized environmental crime – are taking a more visible stand against wildlife trafficking. In July, US President Barack Obama set up a taskforce on wildlife trafficking and pledged US$10 million to fight it.
“If developing countries really want to assist, they need to put up quite a bit of cash,” he added.
Funded by the governments of Norway and Switzerland, the Global Initiative is a network of leading experts in the field of organized crime, which aims to bring together a wide range of players in government and civil society to find ways to combat illicit trafficking and trade.
At the Global Initiative conference, Gosling presented a draft of The Global Response to Transnational Organized Environmental Crime, a report documenting environmental crimes around the world. Such crimes are on the rise in terms of “variety, volume and value”, the report says, and their impact is far greater than the simple destruction of natural resources and habitats. “They affect human security in the form of conflict, rule of law and access to essentials such as safe drinking water, food sources and shelter,” the report says.
The crimes documented range from illicit trade in plants and animals and illegal logging, fishing and mineral extraction to production and trade of ozone-depleting substances, toxic dumping, and “grey areas” such as large-scale natural resource extraction.
