Wow, one amazing dude. Big brains, indeed.. His advance in mathematics has been applied to a great number of science and engineering applications.

And how much elegant simplicity God has wrought in the universe to weave such an amazing complex of phenomena.

Occasionally, he lets us see a bit more of it…

Mother agnes mariam el-salib, nun

Mother Agnes Mariam: ‘Footage of Syria Chemical Attack is a Fraud’

Daniel McAdamsat 02:30 am EDT on September 10, 2013

http://www.lewrockwell.com/lrc-blog/mother-agnes-mariam-footage-of-syria-chemical-attack-is-a-fraud/

Mother Agnes Mariam el-Salib, mother superior of St. James Monastery in Qara, Syria, told RT today that she has evidence that the video footage currently being shopped around by Sen. Feinstein and the Obama administration as proof that the Syrian president used gas on his own people is a fraud. Part of the problem with the videos is that they were all taken nearly at the same time as the alleged attack itself. How to gather all the bodies in one place and begin videotaping in some cases before the attack had even taken place?

Mother Agnes Mariam is a Catholic nun who has lived and worked in Syria for the past 20 years. She has been particularly outspoken about the atrocities committed by the US-backed Syrian rebels against Christians and other minorities. Her reputation is impeccable, though she is routinely slandered in Western media.

Said Mother Agnes Mariam of the events on the morning of August 21:

I am not saying that no chemical agent was used in the area – it certainly was. But I insist that the footage that is now being peddled as evidence had been fabricated in advance. I have studied it meticulously, and I will submit my report to the UN Human Rights Commission based in Geneva.

Also new today, Belgian teacher and former Free Syrian Army supporter Pierre Piccinin, who was kidnapped by the Syrian insurgents and just released, vehemently denied that the Syrian government was behind the chemical attack.

Piccinin stated to RTL as he landed back in Belgium after his release:

It is a moral duty to say this. It is not the government of Bashar Al-Assad which used sarin gas or another combat gas in the suburbs of Damascus. We are certain of this following a conversation that we had. It hurts me to say this because I have been a fervent supporter of the Free Syrian Army since May 2012 in its just struggle for democracy.

He promised to submit the proof of his assertions to the authorities. But will anyone listen?

Mother Agnes Mariam also pointed out the double standards among Western governments and the Western media. On August 5, US-backed insurgents went on a murderous rampage in several Alawite villages, killing more than 500 innocent civilians. Western governments pretended it did not happen. Western media obliged their governments in a conspiracy of silence.

Said Mother Agnes Mariam to RT today:

[H]ow [can] the international community can ignore the brutal killing spree in Latakia on Laylat al-Qadr early in the morning of August 5, an attack that affected more than 500 people, including children, women and the elderly. They were all slaughtered. The atrocities committed exceed any scale. But there was close to nothing about it in the international mass media. There was only one small article in “The Independent”, I believe.

We sent our delegation to these villages, and our people had a look at the situation on-site, talked to the locals, and most importantly – talked to the survivors of the massacre.

I don’t understand why the Western media apply double standards in this case – they talk about mass murder that the use of chemical weapons resulted in non-stop, but they keep quiet about the Latakia massacre….

A total of twelve Alawite villages were subjected to this horrendous attack. That was a true slaughterhouse. People were mutilated and beheaded. There is even a video that shows a girl being dismembered alive – alive! – by a frame saw. The final death toll exceeded 400, with 150 to 200 people taken hostage. Later some of the hostages were killed, their deaths filmed.

Asked about the persecution of Christians in Syria, Mother Agnes Mariam was quick to point out that not only Christians, but also many Muslims are being murdered by the Western-supported insurgents in Syria. She said that the insurgents are emboldened to commit even more gruesome atrocities because they feel they have the backing of Western powers:

I would like to say that if these butchers didn’t have international support, no one would have dared to cross the line. But today, unfortunately, the violation of human rights and genocide in Syria is covered up on the international level. I demand the international community stops assessing the situation in Syria in accordance with the interests of a certain group of great powers. The Syrian people are being killed. They fall victim to contractors, who are provided with weapons and sent to Syria to kill as many people as possible. The truth is, everywhere in Syria people are being kidnapped, tortured, raped and robbed.

So while the Obama administration is obsessed with a few suspiciously timed YouTube videos that purport to show a few hundred killed in some sort of chemical attack — but even they have no proof the government was responsible — they remain criminally silent about the thousands of atrocities committed by their allies, the insurgents. Even as indisputable evidence of the insurgents’ Nazi-like violence continues to surface, the US and its tiny group of supporters (Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Israel) continues to stand by their men. Never again? Well it is happening again and no one in power seems to give a damn.

Investigative journalism DOES live on!

DAVOS, SWITZERLAND, 27JAN10 – George Soros, Chairman, Soros Fund Management, of the World Economic Forum (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Statist Propaganda Media is fading, and some of the voices of lament from Old Media are that investigative journalism is going with it.

Not really. True that Old Media has left off doing much of it where it matters because they don’t want to step on their sister institutions in the government-media complex, or their dearly held statist doctrines learned in Journalism schools across the country. True, there are a few of the ones that fit Statist Media doctrines, but they don’t get much readership. People are getting wise to it.

I have a couple of examples.

Ben Swann Full Disclosure

One of the best is Ben Swann‘s presentations from Cincinnati, where he narrated the program “Reality Check”. He now has his own Internet channel. His flagship web site is Ben Swann Full Disclosure: http://benswann.com/  It’s not exactly just investigative journalism, but I mention it because he spreads the word on less-known but very important facts left out of news sources elsewhere, plus shares some significant insights into current events also not found elsewhere. In this way if fulfills what we expect from journalistic research, the digging up of facts that a few interests might want to otherwise keep a lid on.

FrackNation

http://fracknation.com/

In FrackNation journalist Phelim McAleer faces threats, cops and bogus lawsuits questioning green extremists for the truth about fracking. McAleer uncovers fracking facts suppressed by environmental activists, and he talks with rural Americans whose livelihoods are at risk if fracking is banned. Emotions run high but the truth runs deep.

FrackNation was made after Phelim McAleer confronted Gasland filmmaker

Josh Fox at a Q&A in Chicago. McAleer asked Fox about instances of water being lit on fire well before fracking occurred in America and why he didn’t include that information in Gasland. Fox said the information “wasn’t relevant.” McAleer disagreed and put their exchange on YouTube. Fox sued to have it removed. That’s when McAleer realized there was more to the story of fracking than Josh Fox was letting on.

FrackNation was funded by 3,305 backers on Kickstarter who generously donated $212,265 to have us investigate the truth about fracking. All funds from oil and gas companies or their executives were explicitly rejected. FrackNation is a film by the people, for the people.

This film FrackNation, supported by nickel-and-dime donations from “the little guy”, exposed the statist control-freak propaganda film “Gasland“, which did not need to go to Kickstarter for financing.  Big giant corporate-financed non-profits with multi-billionaire hustlers like George Soros have plenty of funding for all kinds of central-planning propaganda.

(By the way, even environmentalism-loving science are saying Gasland is “science denial” and criticizing its content and the big-money connections of its maker Josh Fox is shown here:

Project Veritas

Another group that has done investigative reporting documentaries is Project Veritas, for which James O’Keefe has made works about Planned Parenthood and Acorn.
http://www.theprojectveritas.org/

He exposed the hypocrisy of the New York-area newspaper that published the names and addresses of gun owners in one of the counties that offered up the list without thinking.

No one has reason to distrust our government? Nobody?

Dennis Kucinich, member of the U.S. House of Representatives (D-Ohio) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Camp FEMA: American Lockdown – FULL MOVIE – 86 min – YouTube:

Nobody has any reason to think the USSA government may become tyrannical….except…

Except for black folks born and raised in earlier America, the victims of the first gun control laws in the United States.

Except for the Japanese-Americans born and raised in America who were rounded up and sent to concentration camps set up by military forces. (But today’s dissidents in 2013 are paranoid when they talk about concentration camps?)

Except for black folks in Memphis that were intentionally infected with syphilis, added to the Guatemalans that were also infected for the same kind of studies with human “subjects”.

Except for the people who were secretly poisoned with varying levels of LSD by the CIA to study psychological war strategies. And the millions of hippies and students and other youth that were enticed to take lots of LSD and other drugs by cheerleaders like CIA agent (or “ex-agent”?) Timothy Leary, and other unwitting influences like rock stars. I had friends whose brains were damaged by those drugs.

Except for the native American Indian tribes whose people were harassed, exploited, moved from state to state, pushed around, oppressed, and hit by broken treaties, and became the subject of abominable caricatures. These caricatures continue today in the justifications that governments give for the “help” that has not “helped” them at all.

Except for the Mormons, who were harassed and persecuted and thrown in prisons and chased from state to state until finally they went to where they thought nobody would bother them, in the West, and even there, the federal government sent the Army to make threats to them.

Except for the people that belong to a list of categories of “terrorists” that include pro-lifers, end-time prophecies, traditional marriage advocates, constitutionalists, Ron Paul supporters, one million names on the FBI terror watch list, secretly compiled.

Except for a peaceful community of a small religious community in the town of Waco, Texas, who were cleared of any arms violations in three inspections by local law enforcement, and attacked in a raid planned during the first Bush administration and carried out under Bill Clinton and Janet Reno.

Except for “new left” organizations in the 1960s and 1970s into the 1980s, investigated and spied upon by the FBI.

Except for other peaceful religious groups of the turbulent period, one of whom was infiltrated by a young agent for the FBI, who lived with the group for about three months. One day she went back to the FBI, told them they were peaceful and non-violent, turned in her credentials, and returned to the group to join the much falsely slandered Family of Love.

Except for the Muslim-Americans who were rounded up in the year 2001, held incognito without charges, and without access to lawyers, habeas corpus, or other recourse, under indefinite detention.

Except for the people in the 1999 “report” the FBI issued for law enforcement (“Project Megiddo”?) that listed “new threats to law enforcement”. These included supporters of gun ownership rights, property rights, home schooling, U.S. Constitution, and of course those who think elections are rigged, opponents of the New World Order, and others who think old military bases are planned for future concentration camps.

Except the people who are the indefinite targets of future “government continuity” plans that some people say are included in a project named Rex84 suggesting a FEMA cover for a continuity of government plan in case of rebellion by countrymen.

Think back to your science fiction movies. Remember “Deep Impact”? Not everybody got a place in the underground refuges. Who can doubt that with so many scenarios played out in popular fiction and in popular discussions around the nation and the globe, that anybody with enough influence in Washington DC would be assured protection from mad crowds in the event of disasters or protests? In exchange for keeping quiet so as to “not to cause a panic”. 😉

Isn’t it funny, that every time some “terrorist” or madman does something, or another “terrorist plot” hatched by the FBI is stopped again by the FBI, voices of government trust demand that government do even more to watch the peaceful citizens, do more to make Mr. and Mrs. America less dangerous?

Oh yea, to continue…

Except for the wives and children of peaceful people in living in remote area of Idaho known as Ruby Ridge.

Except for people who send out emails or post blog pages that have some of the above keywords.

Except for protestors of the “anarchist movement”.

Except for private clubs of gun sportsmen that call themselves “patriots” or “militia”.

Except for sheriffs who sign off to pledges that they will not enforce violations of the constitution.

Except for Ron Paul supporters who are

Except for Constitution Party members, including black members, who are slandered falsely (and knowingly so) by the Southern Poverty Law Center of racism in code language. But the federal watch lists are almost copies straight out of SPLC lists.

Except for even people like those who support Dennis Kucinich.

Except for people who get shot by gun smugglers and Mexican cartels that were protected by the Obama Justice Department itself?

Except for groups of people around the world who want the means to defend themselves against mass murderers like in Southern Sudan and Dafar and other places where minorities are in danger.

Oh, right, nobody has anything to fear.

Try to tell Japanese-Americans they have nothing to fear:
1942 “military relocation camps”
1944 Supreme Court upheld constitutionality
1945 interns finally released with $25 and ticket home (if they still had one) 1988 Ronald Reagan signed a formal apology and granted reparations to survivors
The bill named three failures: Racial prejudice, wartime hysteria, and lack of leadership
2001: Roundup of 1000s of US citizens and residents, saying they used “immigration violations”.

Not that I’m going to vote for Romney, especially after their attempt to prove the Dems right about wanting to suppress votes with their treatment of Ron Paul delegates and Ron-Paul majority delegations and Ron Paul himself!

But then we all know the Democratic Party bosses would have treated him the same way. Look how they made all the pro-life Democrats fall on their own swords for their pet medical industry nationalization project!

Just the facts here, Ma’m. Just the facts

WORDS MATTER: An Un-narrated Obama Documentary/Review (The Original) – YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8R5GvwUFU8&feature=player_embedded

Obama said before he started campaigning to a small group that he wouldn’t “immediately” be able to change the medical industry to a “single payer” system (meaning government-run). The qualifier and significant word is “immediately”.

Then he said it was a lie that the medical industry control legislation (misnamed “Affordable”) was a Trojan horse to get the country to a national health care system.

He said no family with an income less than $250,000 a year would see ANY taxes go up. And now the Supreme Court has ruled that his nationalized-control medical industry control regime rides on the BIGGEST TAX INCREASE IN U.S. HISTORY!

He promised the medicine central planning bill negotiations would be broadcast on CSPAN. They refused CSPAN’s requests for access to them, held behind closed doors and with only Dem Party leaders present with the president.

He said he was against presidential kill orders, and now we hear leaks (from somebody) bragging about them.

He said if he didn’t cure unemployment and have the country back on the road to prosperity in three years, he should only be a one-term president.

“If you have insurance that you like, you will be able to keep that insurance. If you have a doctor you like, you can keep your doctor.” “…This law will just make that more affordable”.

He promised to guarantee Medicare, then took a HALF TRILLION dollars out of the Medicare budget to move it to the new centrally planned system.

The Unaffordable Obamacare regime has 21 NEW TAXES!

The IRS is in charge of its enforcement.

During his debates with Hillary Clinton a narrator posed the question of why raise the capital gains tax, which he had said he would “consider”, since when Clinton reduced them and Bush reduced them the revenues collected from those taxes went UP. His response was that he was considering raising them not for those reasons, but “for the purposes of fairness”.

In other words, he wants to raise capital gains taxes NOT to raise revenues, but for FAIRNESS.

Kill the golden goose that lays the golden eggs, NOT to get the gold but because it’s FAIR???!!!

What is fair about GM getting a $500 BILLION bailout? AIG? What’s fair about CLAIMING he wants corporations to pay more in taxes and complaining about corporations gaming the system to pay less taxes or no taxes, and appointing GE’s CEO as a “jobs czar”, after GE paid ZERO corporate taxes.

He promised to cut the deficit, called Bush “unpatriotic” for adding $4 trillion to the national debt. In eight years. In four years, under Obama’s patronage, debt has increased by $FIVE trillion.

Now Romney is a big-government big-spending politician who himself has flip-flopped his positions depending the office he’s campaigning for and which state he’s running in or speaking in.

Romney supported the TARP bailouts, which Americans HATED and still hate. (So did Obama). Romney supported Obama’s early “stimulus” spending, which only stimulated more federal debt. Romneycare had so many similarities to Obamacare that Obama was able to claim that he based his government health care takeover on Romney’s model.

Obama said he supported the cap and trade legislation while saying also that it would cause drastic increases in the price to the consumer of anything produced or delivered that required any use of coal or oil or gas.

It just keeps coming!

He promised to close Guantanamo, it’s still there.

He promised to bring the troops home from Afghanistan and Iraq within 18 months. Three years later he announced all combat roles for U.S. troops in Iraq were done and the withdrawal was complete now, but what do you call 18,000 American troops still there, and an embassy compound of 44,000 square meters that employes 15,000 people? And is there any noise about Afghanistan?

So he still has troops in both countries, in full combat operations in one of them, and not only that, he waged a war against Libya and is an ally in another with the Yemen government, and has “all options” on the table for Syria and Iran! Following the same lead-up pattern as Bush did with the other two countries.

And remember the “new relationship” he said he wanted with Latin America?

What did he do when Honduras stopped a caudillo president-for-life dictatorship from taking over in Honduras? He tried to bully them into putting the piti-Chavez (“mini-Chavez”) back in power to continue his takeover, and had Hillary enlist Oscar Arias to help them do it. Yes, “respected” Oscar Arias, who violated his own constitution to get another term in office….
