'Be Afraid': Largest Corporations Wealthier Than Most Countries

The power of corporations is so great within our society that they have undermined the idea that there is any other way to run society'

Corporations are running the world, according to new figures released Monday from the U.K.-based Global Justice Now.

The economic and social justice advocacy group discovered (spreadsheet) that the ten largest corporations are wealthier than most countries in the world combined.

Walmart Collapse Spreads!

Vatic Note: This below was no surprise to me at all, for a couple of reasons:  The main one is seriously bad service at the stores.  We just had a Walmart open up in our little podunk town way up in the mountains of Colorado, and with another superstore, only 58 miles away to the west of us in Durango, that had been decided, would work out their customer service problem by making it easier to reach a Walmart in such a rural area.

We had an incident here in Pagosa with someone I know and have known for a long time.  A friend of mine applied for a management job at the new Walmart store here, and she was massively qualified.  She had been in Pagosa for 19 years and ran her own business here in her field of expertise., was well known and loved, and she started from scratch and grew it into one of the largest of its kind companies, because of her customer service mentality.  She retired, and got bored, so she decided to go back to work and applied to Walmart for a management position in the store.

She applied, went through a number of serious interviews, filled out an extensive list of questions with respect to managing staff,  and did so well, that Walmart scheduled her for background check and drug testing.  They do not do that since its expensive to do,  unless they have determined that they would hire her.   Well, one of the questions on the background check was age.  "What year were you born?"

She believes it was either that question that killed her hire, or it was the answers to her management questions.  In either case, Walmart lost an opportunity to hire someone with  a proven record of success in managing a business that was a start up and she grew it to the largest in the area, and all of it through customer satisfaction and trust.

Today, the biggest complaint about Walmart, here in our town, is that they have zero customer service for the shopping public.  Various depts are laid out weirdly, check out is a joke, and no one around to ask questions to by a needy customer.   Since then I noticed just how empty the parking lot is compared to when it first opened.  It appears their "top management" are not aware of just how important customer service is in this part of the country, and they are trying to shift the results/consequences of their ignorance in customer service,  to the suppliers, by shifting profitability from Walmart's poor management, to the suppliers, as you will see below.

I am also wondering just what kind of impact on Walmart shoppers, the exposure that Walmart was acting as a protected supplier for the globalists to protect military supply routes, using Walmart trucks, facilities, and to also act as a holding facility for those patriots willing to resist the New World Order, especially, if there were no FEMA camps in close proximity?  Well, you read and decide.   Keep in mind that Pagosa is the new area 51.

FUND RAISING TIME AGAIN.  This time we are in a bigger bind than we have anticipated, so we are begging you to donate as soon as possible to help us out of it.  I can't go into it right now, but suffice it to say,   We can not do our blogs or fund raising campaign, if we are out of business.

Now we are  asking for donations toward our $190 deficit this month.  If you can afford it, we appeal to you to donate to our cause to keep truth exposed and lies distroyed so we can prepare based on reality.... so help us do that,  please use the pay pal button off to the right of this bog.

Thank you for all your support over these many years.  I am still trying to find a way to fund this deficit without fund raising.  So far, no luck, but I am not giving up, so hang with us until we do.  Thank you again and God bless you and your family.


Walmart Collapse Spreads!
http://beforeitsnews.com/business/2015/10/walmart-collapse-spreads-2760352.html
By Nathan Layne, Reuters,  October 19, 2015

(Reuters) - Suppliers of everything from groceries to sports equipment are already being squeezed for price cuts and cost sharing by Wal-Mart Stores . Now they are bracing for the pressure to ratchet up even more after a shock earnings warning from the retailer last week.
 

The discount store behemoth has always had a reputation for demanding lower prices from vendors but Reuters has learned from interviews with suppliers and consultants, as well as reviewing some contracts, that even by its standards Wal-Mart has been turning up the heat on them this year. 

US launched secret 'space warplane' (See UPDATE in the SOHO section)

UPDATE:  Its taken a whole year for this to get up again. Notice the dates.   Amazing.  Guess they did not like this one at all.   Lets hope it stays up this time.  I honestly believe they intend to use military space weapons on us since they are getting so very desperate right now since they are absolutely losing control over everything.   Even WW III is not going well either.  No one supports it and everyone knows exactly what it is.... a war for profit at the cost to taxpayers in wealth and lives of our children.  NO WAY..... they have a war, we do it against the international bankers, rothschild and Israel.   Every person on this planet becomes allies on one side against those three.   Everywhere on the face of this earth. 

Vatic Note: I finished this one time and they completely without any warning totally wiped out all the work I had done.  They didn't tell me why they did it, no warning, and my experience with them is they will only do that with a FISA court warrant. So maybe some part of this hit home. I am trying to reconstruct what I wrote and the information I included in this blog and will send it as soon as I finish only by email this time and I suggest you use your emails to get it out to everyone you can as I think this is an indicator something in it was important enough for them to pull it. I will try to put it up again, so we will see.



A coincidence that this "secret space warplane" with a secret weapons testing mission happens days before all the dead birds and fish in the oceans and on land.  Was this a test run of a new secret weapon in space?.  Is this the plan for depopulation?   Are they going to use their aircraft carrier sized space vehicle to deliver the blow?   Is the Iron Mountain report of 1966 recommending ecodisasters and destruction as the mode for globalizing?   They did the same thing with the oil blow out rig in the gulf in testing the weapon.   We had video of the two beams used and later the video was gutted and replaced with a photo shop making it look like a camera anomoly.    In seeing other photos of the same supposed "blow out" on another rig in Australia, that was not even close to what happened on this one. Is this what the oil tragedy was covering up? Who knows until more information can come out. Below this article is also information on SOHO being down for 3 days which is weird, with no explanation and a link from an email I received showing a massive distortion in the suns magnetic field with the distortion facing our planet. AT the same time we are sending this secret launch??? Something is up. I also included another segment on advanced space weaponry and what it could mean for our future, if we end up having one. Keep an eagle eye out on these psycho insane weirdos.  They are absolutely insane.   Read an watch this below as it shows the best proof of what occurred from space on the gulf blowout and now we are hearing that the Space station is going to be evacuated in Nov  and I suspect it will be on 11/11/11.   Now would that be a coincidence???  Three master numbers of the occult????

US to launch secret 'space warplane'


Mon, 19 Apr 2010 23:33:02 GMT   (this is when it was announced, but that doesn't mean its when it was really launched. Anyone with a secret clearance knows these dates are manipulated to avoid spying or sabotage)


The United States Air Force has announced that it will launch a secret space plane that has sparked speculation about the militarization of space.

The Alarming Reason Why More Girls are Starting Puberty Early

Vatic Note:   Add to this the fact that any synthetic hormone added to a womans' body increases the risk of heart attacks and breast cancer and early death.   In fact, these girls will end up with menopause 10 years earlier than normal, which means probably around 35.  This is done without their permission or a doctors perscription.  This is medicating without a license and is a full crime which should be prosecuted.  Only a medical doctor can prescribe such hormonal and antibiotics to a human system.  This is fully and completely INSANE.  Someone needs to be shot.  At the very least they need to be prosecuted.   I bet a few of them thrown in jail will stop this practice.    I would like to see studies on what this is doing to our young boys as well.

U.S. girls are entering puberty at a younger age than in the past. More than 10 percent of white 7-year-old girls have breast changes that signal the start of puberty, according to a study conducted in the mid-2000s. This is up from just 5 percent in the early 1990s.


The average age of a girl's first period also declined, from an average of 14 or 15 years in the past to about 12 years today.

BP accused of 'buying academic silence'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-10731408
By Robyn Bresnahan BBC News

The head of the American Association of University Professors has accused BP of trying to "buy" the best scientists and academics to help it contest litigation after the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

"This is really one huge corporation trying to buy faculty silence in a comprehensive way," said Cary Nelson.
BP faces more than 300 lawsuits so far.

In a statement, BP says it has hired more than a dozen national and local scientists "with expertise in the resources of the Gulf of Mexico".

 

Bob Shipp said BP wanted to hire his entire marine science department 

The BBC has obtained a copy of a contract offered to scientists by BP. It says that scientists cannot publish the research they do for BP or speak about the data for at least three years, or until the government gives the final approval to the company's restoration plan for the whole of the Gulf.

It also states scientists may perform research for other agencies as long as it does not conflict with the work they are doing for BP.

Critical History - The U.S. is a CORPORATION

Critical History - The U.S. is a CORPORATION

Posted by: wacla.org on May 23, 2010

On the Fourth of July 1776,

the American states were united at war with Great Britain and had just declared their Independance.  But what did it mean?  What does it mean now? - Independence.  This nation acted like one of England’s colonies for hundreds of years and in that time had grown to become one of Great Britain’s most productive resources.  Then the French American War began and England came to defend the “colonists” incurring great debts and finally winning the war.  Britain decided that it needed to keep troops here even though it did not have sufficient forts and that it could not afford to build such forts; therefore they decided to compel the people here to quarter the British troops in their homes with room and board; for protection of such troops they confiscated the peoples guns; the King also created a sales tax.  The rights of the colonists became so abused that it became necessary to stand against Great Britain’s abuse over, “the last straw” — though most of the sales taxes were dropped, on a few key imported items like tea and shugar they went from from 3% to 6%.  In response, rather than paying the increased tax, some of the colonists had a party (the Boston Tea Party) and threw a load of tea into the harbor;  while others formed the Declaration of Independence and went to war.

When the War was over they formed a new foundational document, The Articles of Confederation, that document recognized this nation as a nation made up of independent sovereign United States, and gave the name “The United States of America” to the new government.  Many of the people of this new nation felt that it was wrong to leave England.  Sure there were rights violations but those were livable and their future was a certainty as an English Colony.  Now that they were on their own nothing at all was sure.

Over the next ten years conditions in this country continually got worse.  The individual States gave little regard to any other State and paid nearly no attention at all to the central government.  After ten years of independence from Great Britain conditions were far worse than they had ever been under Great Britain’s rule and protection.  Many wanted government officials to go back to Great Britain and beg the King to take us back, and they almost did.

BP hires private security contractors to guard ‘black water’

Vatic Note:  Lets be clear here.... its pure unadulterated fascism when "gestapo" privately owned by CORPORATIONS/BANKS, take over law enforcement functions that ignore laws and only enforce CORPORATE POLICY.  Lets start using language for what it was meant to do, COMMUNICATE THE TRUTH in its pure unadulterated form.   FASCISM/NAZISM is finally here in plain site that we are experiencing and is the word that goes with the conditions stated above,  WARFARE is the Chemical attack by a CORP (criminal act) against the American people that is done with IMPUNITY and no response by the "peoples" law enforcement.  ANARCHY is the word that goes with ignoring all criminal laws that allow Corp to murder and kidnap those they decide to murder and kidnap.  Rule of law means governance, but Anarchy is what is prevailing as we speak.  WE NEED TO BEGIN TO USE LANGUAGE TO SPEAK PURE UNADULTERATED TRUTH ABOUT OUR SITUATION, or we will never solve it.

If they had hired Blackwater, the firm would have had a particularly appropriate sounding name for the job: guarding tar-stained beaches. (VN:  thus the title of the article.... guarding "black water")

In their latest eyebrow-raising PR move, multinational oil giant BP has enlisted private security contractors to keep onlookers away from oil cleanup sites. While the firm they hired apparently isn't Blackwater (the private security firm Blackwater changed their name to Xe Services after a spate of killings in Baghdad, and has now put itself up for sale), they certainly seem to have 'black water' in their sights.

You are now paying for the next Three Mile Island

Vatic Note:  This is now an issue due to the new authorization to build many more nuke power stations in the US, (major contributors to the Obama campaign) the uranium mining and its attending pollution in pristine waters and areas of our national parks, and the lack of ready facilities to store the waste.   All of these need to be reassessed in light of this infomation below regarding the history of 3 mile island fiasco and the coverup that accompanied the investigation.   Please read fully.  Its important for determining our future direction that can dramatically impact our health, our very lives and those of our children.   We already are suffering under use of DU weapons by our military in lieu of effective waste storage.  How much more will we have to absorb and can we???  This does not include any accidents in the future such as another 3 mile island.  Is this a dual purpose issue?  Energy, bailout for the nuke industry and depopulation?  Certainly questions that need answering before we irretrievably embark on this course.  Curiously, it begs the question whether nukes are another spike in the depopulation agenda at the billionaire level.  After reading this about three mile island, I am beginning to see the possible intent that accompanies their willingness to have the gov fund such energy projects.   But  then if we build more of them,  Israel might have to invade and attack us.......... oh, thats right, they already have.

As radiation poured from Three Mile Island 31 years ago past weekend, utility executives rested easy.


They knew that no matter how many people their errant nuke killed, and no matter how much property it destroyed, they would not be held liable.

Today, this same class of executives demands untold taxpayer billions to build still more TMIs. No matter how many meltdowns they cause, and how much havoc they visit down on the public, they still believe they’re above the law.

Fueled with more than $600 million public relations slush money, they demand a risk-free “renaissance” financed by you and yours.

AS IF!

In 1980, I reported from central Pennsylvania on the dead and dying one year after. Dozens of interviews documented a horrifying range of radiation-related diseases including cancer, leukemia, birth defects, stillbirths, malformations, sterility, heart attacks, strokes, emphysema, skin lesions, hair loss, a metallic taste and much more. As reported by the Baltimore News-American among others, such ailments also ripped through the animal population.

To this day, no one knows how much radiation was released at the 1979 TMI accident, where it went or whom it harmed. The official line that “no one was killed” is arguably the biggest lie ever told in US industrial history. It is to public health what the promise of power “too cheap to meter” was to public finance.

RUSSIA & OTHER COUNTRIES BAN POULTRY IMPORTS FROM USA DUE TO CHLORINE

Vatic Note:  Gosh, does that mean Russia cares more for the health and safety of their people than our Government does about our people?  We have to address our entire food system again.  At one time we were very good about the safety of our food but since the advent of Corporate Farming, its gone down hill as has the processing of that food by the corporations that convert it into storable products, like canned vegetables and fruits.  Combine that with our Killer drug companies and its a miracle most of us are still alive even if not very healthy.

Title:   RUSSIA & OTHER COUNTRIES BAN POULTRY IMPORTS FROM USA DUE TO CHLORINE

http://www.naturalnews.com/028363_chicken_chlorine.html
By:  Natural News on line,   contributed by Gypsy,  Australia
Date:   03/16/2010

NaturalNews) Beginning on January 1, 2010, Russia has officially

banned imported poultry products from countries that use chlorine in
their processing methods. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin
announced that Russia will no longer allow chicken imports from the
U.S. because the chlorine baths used to sanitize chickens do not meet
Russian food safety standards.

Since it comes from Russia, many may dismiss the ban as being
politically charged with no scientific validity. However many nations
around the world, including all within the European Union, have banned
poultry imports from chlorine-using countries because of the dangers
posed by the chemical. These countries use different methods to
disinfect meat, including air chilling and electrolyzed water
treatments, which do not expose the meat to harmful chemicals.

Putin expressed that Russia is working to become poultry
self-sufficient by the year 2015 but, until then, will import only
from nations that do not use chlorine in meat processing. Each year,
the import quota will be dropped until, eventually, all chicken will
be domestically raised in Russia.

When the issue first surfaced back in 2008, the U.S. Poultry & Egg
Export Council tried to persuade Russia that the chlorine treatment
methods used on chicken are both safe and effective. According to the
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the hypochlorus chemical used,
which is an active form of chlorine, is an effective antimicrobial.

Rather than reconsider the safety of its own treatment methods, U.S.
regulators tried to use rhetoric to convince Russia to accept U.S.
imports and failed miserably. Russia refused to hear any of it, ending
$825 million worth of U.S. chicken imports into its country.

The truth about chlorine chicken baths is that not only are they not
truly effective but they expose people to a steady stream of toxic
chlorine every time they consume chicken. Chlorine is known to
increase cancer risk and cause other serious problems including
respiratory illness and heart disease. Like other environmental
halogens, chlorine contributes to thyroid dysfunction as well.

The levels of chlorine used in chicken baths, which average somewhere
between 20 and 50 parts per million (ppm), do not always kill all the
pathogens present. According to a European Consumers' Organization
study conducted in 2007, 83 percent of U.S. chicken that had been
treated in chlorine baths still contained harmful pathogens. The bath
essentially becomes a pathogen cesspool that contaminates all the
other chickens that are submerged in it.

It is no wonder that Russia, the E.U., and a growing list of nations
around the world are refusing chlorinated U.S. chicken.

Dyncorp and Halliburton Sex Slave Scandal Won't Go Away - Part III

Vatic Note:   Please review all the links in this piece as it gives a history of how far back this all goes.   This is a third in a series of articles leading up to present day to lay the foundation for a history of Sexual & Labor slave trade, internationally with involvement by US Corporations, High government and corporate officials and royalty of Europe. This is foundational work to show just how DEEP THE RABBIT HOLE GOES AND WHAT WE CAN EXPECT IN A GLOBALIZED NON ELECTED GOVERNANCE SYSTEM FOR ALL OF US, NOT JUST THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES.  Its to show the extent not only of Pedophilia, but also the entire scope of this problem and the need for something to be done to stop it.  Its our intent to show just how far up the ladder this scandel goes right up to modern day times with this historical foundation laid first.   This was in 2006, in which congress had told the pentagon "no more contracts" until this all stops,  and the pentagon ignored congress and continued to award contracts to Dynacorp.   More to follow on who at the top are currently & heavily involved in this EVEN TODAY. You may or may not be shocked at who the players are in this contemporary 2010 environment.

Date:   January, 2006

Almost a year after Representative Cynthia McKinney was told by Donald Rumsfeld that it was not the policy of the Bush administration to reward companies that engage in human trafficking with government contracts, the scandal continues to sweep up innocent children who are sold into a life of slavery at the behest of Halliburton subsidiaries , Dyncorp and other transnational corporations with close ties to the establishment elite.

On March 11th 2005, McKinney grilled Secretary Rumsfeld and General Myers on the Dyncorp scandal.

"Mr. Secretary, I watched President Bush deliver a moving speech at the United Nations in September 2003, in which he mentioned the crisis of the sex trade. The President called for the punishment of those involved in this horrible business. But at the very moment of that speech, DynCorp was exposed for having been involved in the buying and selling of young women and children. While all of this was going on, DynCorp kept the Pentagon contract to administer the smallpox and anthrax vaccines, and is now working on a plague vaccine through the Joint Vaccine Acquisition Program. Mr. Secretary, is it [the] policy of the U.S. Government to reward companies that traffic in women and little girls?"

The response and McKinney's comeback was as follows.

Rumsfeld: "Thank you, Representative. First, the answer to your first question is, is, no, absolutely not, the policy of the United States Government is clear, unambiguous, and opposed to the activities that you described. The second question."

Records Show Upper Big Branch Mine Amassed Scores of Safety Citations, Thousands in Fines

The West Virginia coal mine where an explosion killed 25 workers and left another four unaccounted for in the worst mining disaster since 1984 had amassed scores of citations from mining safety officials, including 57 infractions just last month for violations that included repeatedly failing to develop and follow a ventilation plan.


Coal Boss Don Blankenship: If you take photos, "you're liable to get shot."

The federal records catalog the problems at the Upper Big Branch mine, operated by the Performance Coal Company. They show the company was fighting many of the steepest fines, or simply refusing to pay them. Performance is a subsidiary of Massey Energy. Another Massey subsidiary agreed to pay $4.2 million in criminal and civil fines last year and admitted to willfully violating mandatory safety standards that led to the deaths of two miners. The fine was the largest penalty in the history of the coal industry.

The nation's sixth biggest mining company by production, Massey Energy took in $24 million in net income in the fourth quarter of 2009. The company paid what was then the largest financial settlement in the history of the coal industry for the 2006 fire at the Aracoma mine, also in West Virginia. The fire trapped 12 miners. Two suffocated as they looked for a way to escape. Aracoma later admitted in a plea agreement that two permanent ventilation controls had been removed in 2005 and not replaced, according to published reports.

The two widows of the miners killed in Aracoma were unsatisfied by the plea agreement, telling the judge they believed the company cared more about profits then safety. After the deal, the Massey subsidiary pledged a renewed focus on safety after the fines were levied.

U.S. military goes hungry in Afghanistan - (Crime against humanity)

Vatic Note:  Excuse me?  Logistics, supply services, food & water etc did not match the increase of troops???  I simply do not believe it. So how much did the tax payer have to pay Kellogg, Root, and Brown for not feeding and watering our people???    Having been in the military, it just doesn't happen that way UNLESS its intentional.   Here is my guess.  The US is suppose to lose whatever real war we get into against either Russia or China.  I never talked about this because I could not find a supportive source to confirm, but actions the military has engaged in since during Bush until now, simply shows an intent here that is inhumane and for some purpose, thus I am now taking it as a confirmation by their behavior, these people know what they are doing.  I can only guess at the purpose, but the facts are clear.  They did this to our troops in Iraq with no flack jackets that are standard in war zones,  no armoured humvees when road side bombs were the weapons of choice,  then when the military did armour them, they did not do the floor of the cab, which is as bad as no armour since the bombs are on the road.   Finally the new amoured vehicles arrived in Kuwait and sat there for six months before being distributed to our fighting men and women and now no food and water???   In these past 9 years of war, we have lost 78,000 men in all three theatres, and over 1 million permanently maimed.   What does that sound like to anybody???  Depopulation or destruction of our military capability for a reason.  I suggest its a bit of both.  What in the world are we going to do about this???  We simply have to decide what we can do to help our people who are stranded over there without food or water.   This is High treason.   A death penalty offense.

Date:  April 5, 2010

The United States Military is in the midst of a troop surge in Afghanistan, but the surge has caused the ratio of resources to troops to widen. Many American Forward Operating Bases are experiencing food and water shortages.


Sgt. Hill, whose name has been changed to protect his identity, has been in Afghanistan only a few months as part of the new troop surge into the country. The troops are mainly focused on training and promoting the Afghanistan army and police force. The training is the United States' attempt to "teach a man to fish," in the security department of the ever turbulent country, a country which is still undecided if it wants to break free from Taliban influence. With these larger issues at hand the need for proper amounts of food and water have fallen by the wayside.

Initially it was expected that resources for surging troops would be low, as many bases were unprepared for the push ordered by the Obama administration. The surge, it is argued, was far too swift and did not give the military time to lay the proper infrastructure and provide housing and other amenities for the troops. The reality of the lack of preparation has been felt by Sgt. Hill and other troops currently in Afghanistan.

Over weeks of correspondence Sgt. Hill has informed Digital Journal of the conditions the logistics of just being able to eat. General McChrystal announced that fast food places like Burger King and Pizza Hut were going to be shut down and moved to make more room for essentials the troops will need for war.

As reported on Digital Journal:

"Supplying non-essential luxuries to big bases like Bagram and Kandahar makes it harder to get essential items to combat outposts and forward operating bases, where troops fighting every day need to be resupplied with ammunition, food and water." (non believable comment)

Ex-IBM Employee reveals TV Abandoned Analog Band to Make Room for RFID Chips

Vatic Note:   The People-to-People initiative will be address this in their strategy and tactics so watch for them when they come out.   There are many good ideas for avoiding the chip on your person, but more importantly how to either extract the chip from products or make them unuseable.   These will be coming out a few at a time since its a horrific job but must be started now in preparation for hte Health care bill which is where the chips are reqiured by law to be implanted in everyone for "supposedly" medical records.  

Ex-IBM Employee reveals TV Abandoned Analog Band to Make Room for RFID Chips

http://dprogram.net/2009/07/12/ex-ibm-employee-reveals-tv-abandoned-analog-band-to-make-room-for-rfid-chips/

Date:  04/05/2010

What I’m going to do is give you an introduction to three technologies that are becoming more and more important. The first is RFID chips, the second genetic engineering, and the third synthetic biology. This will give you an understanding of what is happening and where science is going.

We will start with RFID chips:

So what are they? They are Radio Frequency Identification Devices. An RFID is a microchip with an attached antenna. The microchip contains stored information which can be transmitted to a reader and then to a computer.

RFID’s can be passive, semi-passive or active. Active RFID’s have an internal power source such as a battery. This allows the tag to send signals back to the reader, so if I have a RFID on me and it has a battery, I can just send a signal to a reader wherever it is. They can receive and store data, and be read at a further distance than the passive RFID’s. The batteries can only last a short while. But the current batteries in the RFID’s can last for over a hundred years, because of their self-generating power. Ultrawideband (UWB) allows the small battery operated RFID tag to be sensed over fairly wide areas. For instance, GE Aircraft Engines in Ohio has installed five readers in the factory and it covers over 30,000 square feet so they can track everything within that area with only the five readers. That gives you an idea of the distance that can be covered by an RFID tag that might be on you or on equipment.

An RFID held by a pair of tweezers

The readers can transmit over telephone or by internet to computers and they use satellites as well. For example, Digital Angel has signed contracts with satellite providers to transmit their data for military personnel location beacons (PLBs). These beacons use the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system. This system has some 400,000 digital beacons around the world and it’s rising to some 900,000. By the year 2009 they plan to have a GL stationary satellite system that will enable them to find the location and details of any beacon. You may sometimes see these at night; the GO stationary systemscan track any beacon. Skiers sometimes use them so that they can be identified, and sailors as well, if they become lost at sea they will be able to be tracked. Anything that has an RFID tag can be tracked by a reader or a computer.

An example of such transmission is a chip sold by Zarlink. This chip is implanted in a person; it tracks problems and if one is detected, it alerts the doctor who uses a two way RF link to interrogate and adjust the implanted device. Semi-passive RFIDs have an internal power source that let them monitor environmental conditions, such as temperature and shock, but they still require RF energy from the reader to respond.

Passive RFID’s do not have a power source but use a signal sent by the scanner to power the microchip circuit to transmit back their stored information. Passive RFID’s are getting very small. Hitachi a few years ago produced a chip (called the mu chip) that was the size of a pencil point; if you take a pencil and put it on a piece of paper you get a little dot. That’s how small they’re getting. In 2007 Hitachi came out with a chip that was even smaller, they call it RFID powder. They are just like the talcum powder you would put on a baby.

Somark Innovations in Jan 10, 2007 announced an invisible RFID ink. This can be applied to cattle, prime cuts of meat, military personnel and it can be read through hair.

I brought along a couple of the larger size chips, and this particular chip I got from Gillette fusion blades. I bought one of the blades and you can see that on one side what looks like a bar code and if you open it up you can see parts of a RFID chip on the back. This one here is from the Gap. One of my daughters went to the Gap; they put the tag directly on the clothing and the instructions just say to remove before washing and wearing. If you put it up to the light you will see the RFID chip inside it. These chips are quite small and can be put on the back of labels. They would not be noticeable in badges or ID cards; they could even be put in the eye of a person, they are that small.

In order for chips to be useful, they have to have a unique product number and because of this, MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) started developing some standards. It’s called the AutoID Center. They then passed it on to the AutoID Group within the Uniform Clothes Council. It will assign codes and publish specifications, so if you have a company, government agency, or church you can contact these people and they will give you a set of numbers.

So let’s say there are three or five people in this room wearing the same white hat and each one of them has a chip on it with a different number. We could differentiate everything even if you’re all wearing the same clothes, it doesn’t really matter because everything has a unique number. MIT has the architecture of participation called EPC Global so if you go on Google and type in EPC Global and you will come up with the website they will give you instructions on how to apply and get chips. So if you want to chip yourself, your family, relatives, company or anything like that; you can do it.

It works with people who want to use this technology. One of many companies who sell the chip is called, Technic Imitations. If you have a company and you go to one of their presentations, they will give you books like this that tell you what the chips look like, how they work, the types that are sold, and what the readers look like. They will help you install chips in your company. It’s a very big business and it’s spreading very quickly.

Child Snatching By The State - Conference – 10th April - Part II

VATIC NOTE: International child snatching is becoming a major problem globally. It has always been a problem for the third world countries, but now its moved into the westernized developed countries and with the aid and abetting of various governments. Pedophilia has reached the highest levels of the elite and the scandels have touched the highest levels of Government. The USA had theirs in the 80's with the Bush White House and the Franklin CU scandel if you all remember. Back when the Washington Post actually did their job, it broke the whole scandel with credit card receipts, names of perps, and the unlimited access to the white house at all hours of the day and night. Also remember Seymour Hersh's account in the New Yorker of videos he saw of sexual abuse of children in Abu Ghraib and how heart breaking it was for him to hear their horrible screams and the damage this must have done to those children.   This is a growing problem and worth the read to keep abreast of it. This is what we can expect with Fascist Global rule. Remember, this was a problem under Hitler back then. Just recently a state senator and her husband was murdered and coincidentially she had been very active internationally on this issue and especially the role of social services in taking these children with impunity. Now she is dead. See this link

Child Snatching By The State Conference – 10th April

Article by Brian Gerrish , March 25th, 2010

In recent years, there has been a steady increase in media reports concerning Mothers and Fathers, Grandparents and Families reporting the taking of children from their parents and homes by Social Services. Most significantly, many children are taken using false evidence, psychiatric reports and false accusations by Social Services, in collusion with Local Authorities, Police, Judiciary and other agencies. The ‘snatching’ of the child or children is further facilitated by the secretive system of the Courts, where the parents are gagged from telling the truth about what is happening to them and their child. Perjury in Court to assist the ‘snatch’ is commonplace.

In many cases, evidence collected at the time, or emerging later, shows that the children snatched by the state are often subject to neglect or abuse within the care protection system. Some children are also drugged. Parents of either sex, who try and fight to keep their children, are frequently subjected to psychological pressure and intimidation to undermine their efforts, drive a wedge between them and their partner, and in a number of cases silence them by incarceration in psychiatric institutions and / or ‘forced’ prescription of psychotropic drugs.

Federal Judge Finds N.S.A. Wiretapping Program Illegal

Title:   Federal Judge Finds N.S.A. Wiretapping Program Illegal

WASHINGTON — A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the National Security Agency’s program of surveillance without warrants was illegal, rejecting the Obama administration’s effort to keep shrouded in secrecy one of the most disputed counterterrorism policies of former President George W. Bush.

In a 45-page opinion, Judge Vaughn R. Walker ruled that the government had violated a 1978 federal statute requiring court approval for domestic surveillance when it intercepted phone calls of Al Haramain, a now-defunct Islamic charity in Oregon, and of two lawyers representing it in 2004. Declaring that the plaintiffs had been “subjected to unlawful surveillance,” the judge said the government was liable to pay them damages.

The ruling delivered a blow to the Bush administration’s claims that its surveillance program, which Mr. Bush secretly authorized shortly after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, was lawful. Under the program, the National Security Agency monitored Americans’ international e-mail messages and phone calls without court approval, even though the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, required warrants.

The Justice Department said it was reviewing the decision and had made no decision about whether to appeal.

The ruling by Judge Walker, the chief judge of the Federal District Court in San Francisco, rejected the Justice Department’s claim — first asserted by the Bush administration and continued under President Obama — that the charity’s lawsuit should be dismissed without a ruling on the merits because allowing it to go forward could reveal state secrets.

The judge characterized that expansive use of the so-called state-secrets privilege as amounting to “unfettered executive-branch discretion” that had “obvious potential for governmental abuse and overreaching.”

That position, he said, would enable government officials to flout the warrant law, even though Congress had enacted it “specifically to rein in and create a judicial check for executive-branch abuses of surveillance authority.”

Rotarix rotavirus vaccine contaminated, officials say - PART II

Rotarix rotavirus vaccine contaminated, officials say - PART II

About 1 million children in the United States and about 30 million worldwide have gotten Rotarix vaccine, the FDA says.


STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Doctors have been advised to suspend use of Rotarix rotavirus vaccine
Another vaccine, RotaTeq, is still OK to use, officials say
GlaxoSmithKline, maker of Rotarix, says the contamination is not harmful

(CNN) -- Federal health authorities recommended Monday that doctors suspend using Rotarix, one of two vaccines licensed in the United States against rotavirus, saying the vaccine is contaminated with material from a pig virus.

"There is no evidence at this time that this material poses a safety risk," Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg told reporters in a conference call.

Rotarix, made by GlaxoSmithKline, was approved by the FDA in 2008. The contaminant material is DNA from porcine circovirus 1, a virus from pigs that is not known to cause disease in humans or animals, Hamburg said.

About 1 million children in the United States and about 30 million worldwide have gotten Rotarix vaccine, she said.

Rotavirus disease kills more than 500,000 infants around the world each year, primarily in low- and middle-income countries, she said. Before rotavirus vaccine became available, the disease was blamed for more than 50,000 hospitalizations and several dozen deaths per year in the United States, she said.

The FDA learned about the contamination after an academic research team using a novel technique to look for viruses in a range of vaccines found the material in GlaxoSmithKline's product and told the company, Hamburg said. The drug maker confirmed its presence in both the cell bank and the seed from which the vaccine is derived, suggesting its presence from the early stages of vaccine development, she said. The FDA then confirmed the drug maker's findings.

GlaxoSmithKline emphasized Monday that the pig virus is not known to cause illness in humans, saying "it is found in everyday meat products and is frequently eaten with no resulting disease or illness."

"No safety issue has been identified by external agencies or GSK," Thomas Breuer, the drug maker's chief medical officer, said in a written statement. "GSK is committed to patient safety and to the highest manufacturing standards for all our vaccines and medicines. We are already working closely and discussing this finding with regulatory agencies around the world."

Another vaccine, RotaTeq, is made by Merck and was approved in 2006. There is no evidence that the Merck product is affected, Hamburg said. Both vaccines are given by mouth to infants to prevent rotavirus disease, which is marked by severe diarrhea and dehydration.

Revealed: health fears over secret study into GM food Rats fed GM corn due for sale in Britain developed abnormalities in blood and kidneys

Vatic Note:  This is part of our daily articles on some form of food, water, chemical poisoning,  or air issues that affect us all globally and threaten our very life sustaining requirements through any of the above.   Right now we are on the issue of GMO products and their impact on our food and thus our bodies and health.   To get perspective, this issue today is one of an historical perspective.  This article dates to 2005 and that shows just how little either government, monsanto or anyone in any country has responded to  changing the way Monsanto does business.   Read this and keep it for tacking since we are building a record for Nuremberg trials in the future for crimes against humanity and this sure fits the bill.

Rats fed on a diet rich in genetically modified corn developed abnormalities to internal organs and changes to their blood, raising fears that human health could be affected by eating GM food.


The Independent on Sunday can today reveal details of secret research carried out by Monsanto, the GM food giant, which shows that rats fed the modified corn had smaller kidneys and variations in the composition of their blood.

According to the confidential 1,139-page report, these health problems were absent from another batch of rodents fed non-GM food as part of the research project.

The disclosures come as European countries, including Britain, prepare to vote on whether the GM-modified corn should go on sale to the public. A vote last week by the European Union failed to secure agreement over whether the product should be sold here, after Britain and nine other countries voted in favour.

The Off-Shored Economy : The Ruins of Detroit

The Off-Shored Economy
By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS  - 03-17-2010

In the 20th century, Detroit, Michigan, symbolized American industrial might. Today it symbolizes the offshored economy.


Detroit’s population has declined by half. A quarter of the city--35 square miles--is desolate with only a few houses still standing on largely abandoned streets. If the local government can get the money from Washington, urban planners are going to shrink the city and establish rural areas or green zones where neighborhoods used to be.

President Obama and economists provide platitudes about recovery. But how does an economy recover when its economic leaders have spent more than a decade moving high productivity, high value-added middle class jobs offshore along with the Gross Domestic Product associated with them?

Some very discouraging reports have been issued this month from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. There have been record declines in both jobs and hours worked. At the end of last year, the U.S. economy had fewer jobs than at the end of 1997, 12 years ago. Hours worked at the end of last year were less than at the end of 1995, 14 years ago.

The average work week is falling and currently stands at 33.1 hours for non-supervisory workers.
