Security Consultant Heckles NSA Head: Shouts “Freedom!”; “Read The Constitution!”

***Fundraiser still ongoing! Thanks to all who contributed and brought our fundraisier down to $80 needed by the first of November. That is now only 5 days left, so please, if you benefit from our work and can afford it, please help us over this last hump.  We are almost to a point where we can continue our work since time is getting short.   Thank you all for your support, emails, comments, and encouragement to keep going.  It means a lot, especially when the cyber warriors go on the attack.  

I want to give a special thanks to Seawitch at Rumormills Reading room who has stepped in when the cyber warriors gutt our blogs.  She takes by email the content and saves it for us, puts it up and then the PTB finally let  us post and leaves it up.  Without that assistance, along with your contributions, I doubt we would have been able to continue. Bless you all for your support. 

Vatic Note:  Damn, its nice to know we still have men of courage and integrity still in positions of authority when you need them.  Good for this Jon McCoy, a security consultant.  He chose integrity over money.  Wow, we are on the road to awareness and recovery.   The only terrorists out there are working for the khazar bankers, the US government,  Britain, Saudi's, Israel, and Germany.

So its a lie when this general head of NSA says they stopped 13 terrorist attacks.  What liars.  He must be an illuminati child, since they are usually put in charge of various key depts.  The illums would never trust a goyim in key positions as they have said so many times. That is why Obama purged 9 of them out of the pentagon and notice, General Alexander was not one of them.  That means he has bought the party line.

Gen. Alexander claims “We stand for freedom”

The NSA head General Keith Alexander faced a hostile crowd Wednesday while attempting to defend mass surveillance programs at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas.

Around 30 minutes into his speech, Alexander claimed that the NSA had “stopped thirteen terrorist related activities in the United States,” flashing up a slide that stated the NSA had prevented fifty-four worldwide terrorist events.

“Our nation takes stopping terrorism as one of the most important things.” Alexander stated, prompting a man in the crowd to shout “Freedom!”

“Exactly,” Alexander replied. “We stand for freedom.”

Forbes reports that the security consultant, later identified as 30-year-old Jon McCoy, then fired back “Bullshit!” to smatterings of applause from some of the crowd.

“Not bad,” Alexander responded, adding “But I think what you’re saying is that in these cases, what’s the distinction, where’s the discussion and what tools do we have to stop this.”

“No, I’m saying I don’t trust you!” McCoy shouted back.

Another person in the crowd then joined in, stating “You lied to Congress. Why would people believe you’re not lying to us right now?”

Looking stern and visibly annoyed, Alexander responded “I haven’t lied to Congress.”  (VN: He must have done something right for  the khazar bankers, since he is still on the job, while everyone else has been purged.  At least this tells us that those left are the true and clear traitors to our nation)

(This video  has been gutted by CIA, er, I mean Google.  Gen Alexander, this is exactly why we don't believe any of you anymore.)

“I do think it’s important for us to have this discussion.” he added, “Because in my opinion, what you believe is what’s written in the press without looking at the facts. This is the greatest technical center of gravity in the world. I ask that you all look at those facts.”

Alexander continued the speech, stating “We get all these allegations of what [NSA staff] could be doing. But when people check what the NSA is doing, they’ve found zero times that’s happened,” he said referring to any illegal use of spying powers.

“And that’s no bullshit. Those are the facts.” Alexander stated, asking for the curse word to be stricken from the record.

“Read the Constitution” McCoy fired back in one last heckle.

“I have, so should you.” Alexander responded to loud applause from a crowd that was clearly siding with the NSA head.

According to Forbes reporter Andy Greenberg, McCoy told him afterwards that he felt Alexander’s speech was “pretty canned.” “It’s anything you can see on Fox News any day. We’re in danger, we have to get rid of your freedom to keep you safe.” the security consultant added.

“Everyone’s thinking this, but no one’s saying it in public, so everyone thinks they’re alone,” he said. “Ninety-eight percent of society has issues with this…But no one speaks up.”

Throughout the speech Alexander repeatedly suggested that revealing further details of NSA’s operations would “jeopardize the future of our defense.”

The NSA head also claimed several times that the spy agency is not collecting information on everyone’s internet activities, despite a report Wednesday in the Guardian, via Ed Snowden’s leaks, revealing another previously unknown mass surveillance program.



Documents published by the newspaper detail the NSA program, known as XKeyScore, revealing it to be another tool that allows the broad search of millions of individuals’ emails and browsing history. An NSA slide from the documents, showing the logos of Facebook, Google, Twitter and Yahoo, suggests that the agency is “interested in HTTP… because nearly everything a typical user does on the internet uses HTTP.”

Vatic Note:  The fact that the seed bank accepts all seeds, EXCEPT FOR GMO SEEDS, proves that the owners of the vault are aware of the problems with them and their refusal to accept them is basis enough for us to demand they be terminated all over the planet.   Another issue we can come together on in the billions and make them behave.  It doesn't hurt to give it a try. 

We just discussed in another blog, how they planned for famine globally and have done everything they could to rid this country of our farmers and growing of natural healthy food.  They are going after all country's food independance. Watch them do the same to water.  Remember the bill that made gardening in your own yard, a crime?  Or a massive license fee of $500 to do home gardening.  Then they made it illegal to collect rainwater that belongs to all  of us before it hits the rivers or the ground.

They are certainly doing everything they can to beg us to fight them ON THEIR TERMS, but as Sun  Tsu proved, you can fight them on your terms and not theirs.... and getting a copy of Sun Tsu's "The Art of War" and read it.  He was a genius when it came to war from an underdogs perspective and we are the underdogs with respect to technology and weapons of mass destruction, so we must use those tactics that benefit and give us a leg up.  We have one thing going for us.   Our enemy is soulless and there fore creatively lacking.

We, on the other hand, are creatively endowed big time and have lived through decentralized yet, bonded, community of self interests and we can parlay that into success with no problem.  Its something to think about.  They have deep and hard centralized control with anal retentive war gaming and drills, so they are at a distinct disadvantage.

DISCOVER THE DOOMSDAY SEED VAULT'S SECRETS 
http://www.naturalnews.com/034468_doomsday_seed_vault_secrets.html#
by PF Louis,  Natural News 
                                                     

(NaturalNews) Are you aware of the Arctic Circle Doomsday Seed Vault? Technically it's the Svalbard International Seed Vault. The media has hailed it as an attempt to create a doomsday ark containing a wide variety of seeds to ensure the future of agriculture in the event of widespread crop disasters. A closer look behind the curtains finds some suspicious characters heavily vested in the vault's activity.

The doomsday vault's operation 

The doomsday seed vault is situated on the island of Spitzbergen, Norway, located in the Svalbard island group within the Arctic Circle. It exists in an old copper mine, which is connected by a long steel tunnel from outside of the mine's mountain. It is steel and concrete fortified with all the latest technological innovations for supplying power and maintaining seed security.

It is considered a safety deposit box back up for all other seed banks located throughout the world, of which there are many. Because of its remote but accessible location, entrance at 400 feet above sea level, and the permafrost protection for the vault if there is a power failure. On the surface, the project makes ecological sense.

Norway technically owns the vault, and endows those who place seeds into the vault with absolute ownership and access of the seeds. The Global Crop Diversity Trust based in Rome is the prime coordinating international agency for the doomsday vault, and they have strong Rockefeller connections.
An earlier LA Times article mentioned that all seeds are accepted, except for genetically modified seeds. However, this stipulation wasn't noticed on the vault FAQs web page. The doomsday vault donors listed include the Gates Foundation, Rockefeller, Monsanto, and Syngenta, an international counterpart to Monsanto based in Switzerland (http://www.croptrust.org/main/donors.php).

Suspicions are warranted

International investigative journalist William Engdahl voiced his concerns in a 2007 Global Research article just prior to the vault's opening: "Doomsday Seed Vault in the Arctic - Bill Gates, Rockefeller and the GMO giants know something we don't."

TEXAS CHURCH FOOD BANK UNDER THREAT - IS DHS THREAT OF FAMINE IN THE WORKS?

***Fundraiser still ongoing! Thanks to all who contributed and brought our fundraisier down to $80 needed by the first of November. That is now only 5 days left, so please, if you benefit from our work and can afford it, please help us over this last hump.  We are almost to a point where we can continue our work since time is getting short.   Thank you all for your support, emails, comments, and encouragement to keep going.  It means a lot, especially when the cyber warriors go on the attack.

Bless you all for your support. 

Vatic Note:  Notice in the various news sources how food is becoming the main issue and all leading to shortages or famine as promised by Homeland Security run by Khazars.   They want and need riots, crime etc in order to do their martial law or they won't be legal if they try to do it without justification.  Famine is the tool, riots and crimes are the justification to come and collect our guns and do curfews where you can be arrested if out after a certain time.

Well, resistance needs space and time to meet and plan and execute, so they are clear about quelling that before it can begin and curfews are the way as well as gun confiscation.  It worked in a liberal area of Boston after the bogus  false flag in that bombing that they did to get our guns.  It won't work anywhere else, unless its legal.  If we do not riot then they can't do anything and we are still able to meet and plan.  Since they are speeding everything up, we best begin that planning now instead of when its too late.   WE ARE 380 MILLION AND THEY ARE A LOT LESS EVEN WITH FOREIGN TROOPS.

Attention, soldiers of another country.  What you do here will be what the PTB WILL DO TO YOU WHEN THEY ARE THROUGH WITH US.  Keep that in mind.  We will be on your side if they try it with you and you stood with us.  We, the people are far more trustworthy than the powers that be.  After all, they are Luciferian and lying is perfectly legit in their religion.  Keep that in mind also.  Morality is the key to trust and contracts.

Texas Church Foodbank Under Threat from Within and Without

by Richard Evans, Henry Makow site.

                                                      
During the Depression, the Federal government took on the role formerly served by local church based charities.  Now, 70 years later when church charity has become basically a hobby, the Socialist government is about to pull the plug on all the public services they took over with FDR.

The New Deal worked like this - the government bought up farm surplus as a way to keep food prices stable, and distributed the food to central food banks across the country, and a foreign aid to other countries.

The way this works is the central food banks sell the stock to local non-gov food pantries like my church for 19 cents on the dollar.

Last year, the price suddenly doubled to more like 40 cents, but this August Federal food shipments simply slowed to a trickle here and everywhere else.  Result?  Church food pantries don't have access to sub-wholesale price food, plus, we can't buy wholesale. We're suddenly back to the pre-FDR situation of having to ask the congregation to donate food to pick up the slack. 

Plus - our priest is maneuvering to shut down our food pantry space. Reason?  The new yuppies who place their children in our school think all those poor blacks and Mexicans are 'icky' - so our priest is trying to 'merge' our pantry with a Baptist group a couple of miles away.   Of course, they already have their own operation and volunteers, so the priest is basically killing our food pantry.

This has been brewing for a year, but the kicker is last week, suddenly, the jokers on Capitol Hill cut Federal 'food stamps' program by 24%, effective November 1st.  This of course will drive single mothers and struggling families to the churches, precisely when the cupboard is bare.

Did you know the bread famine that sparked the French Revolution was contrived by a Freemasonic conspiracy in which the Duc d' Orleans bought up the French harvest and sold it to the British?  (See Nesta Webster's French Revolution, a Study in Democracy (thanks to Andrew).

Here's my take on all this.   We've known they've been trying to get public unrest going for several years.

They tried Tea Parties and OWS.  They've tried a series of race-bating ops leading up to the Trayvon Martin thing last year. But America's simply too wealthy.  People don't starve here.  Crime is at an all time LOW.

So I think maybe -- just maybe -- they MUST create 'famine' (unavailability of food for the poor) to kick-start crime waves and riots.

PEOPLE OF THE 7TH FIRE - A SYNOPSIS OF HOW MAN SHOULD LIVE

*** Fundraising time again.  First, we would like to deeply thank those that contributed and brought our deficit down, it has eased our concerns over making it this month, and for that we are grateful.  We are still at $100 needed to make it by the first.  We have 6 days left to meet our goal.  If you have benefited from our research and posting, and you can afford it, we encourage you to donate at the pay pal button to the right.  It's getting closer to the first and now we appeal to you who have read our work, but have not donated in the past, if you can afford it, to do so now.

We need your help in continuing this work, as time is getting much shorter now. We are not like the MSM who have advertising at their fingertips in order to meet their obligations.  We must depend on you, our readers, to ensure  our continuation.  Help us put the deficit above, to bed.

Bless all of you who read our work, comment, distribute it, and donate to our cause, and we ask everyone to donate something, no matter how small, off to the right with the donation button. Its how we stay alive doing this daily. We just cannot do this without you.

Vatic Note:   I had never heard about this tribe mentioned below until I read this.  I am just stunned by how much I did not know in this world.  I get more stunned everyday.   Its funny how so much evil can result in so much good.  I started this blog to expose the truth and the underbelly of the evil  beast we are dealing with in this world, and ended up discovering wonders I had never dreamed existed.   How is that for an  oxymoron?

This entire adventure, and its truly an adventure,  has changed my life, my view of my world and everything in it.  I just hope if I can give a smiggen of what I get out of this to those of you who read here,  than I will feel I have done way more than I expected.   Its one of the reasons I never did ads.  They are a distraction from the information and the journey toward a never ending expose of wonderment and "Truth" that we were never exposed to in all of our history.

I am beginning to reject the artificial world I grew up in somewhat later in my youth, and reverting back to my childhood where I had a daily, hourly, and intense relationship with my environment.   I got to know it intimately and thus could tell when environmental things were not right, like snow and clouds, and other artificially created natural events, that were, in fact, not natural at all.  I am so grateful that was a part of my life.

Its good to revisit those memories as an aging adult. I had to live 2 years in a survival situation in a garage with no bathroom, no kitchen, no drainage, and no running water, so everyday I had to go to the river and collect water, filter it, heat it up for cooking and washing, as well as rinse water, then haul out the dirty water up the ridge to the gravel field up there and dump it.  The gravel acted as a filter of the water before it ran back into the river.  I hauled wood and water every day and I got stronger than I had ever been.  I found out why our bodies were built they way they were.  It was the most spiritual experience of my life.

Maybe there is something to be said for destroying all the artificial elements in our world and reconnecting to that which is natural and part of sun, earth, water, wind and sky.   With the geoengineering going on, its a good idea to introduce your children to the natural world before they take it all away.

Our problem isn't carbon dioxide as our bodies actually have channels for eliminating it from our system.  Our problem is losing the knowledge we once had that helped us to survive to where we are today.

indians_smoking_pipePeople of the Seventh Fire

More than 1,000 years ago the Anishinabeg, lived along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. There were so many and they were so powerful that it is said that one could stand at the top of the highest mountain, look in all directions, and not see to the ends of the nation. They traveled the waterways by canoe and in winter they traveled with dog sled. 

Their life was full of abundance and beauty. The Anishinabeg developed their natural heritage of wisdom and power through dreams and the way of the circle. They followed the path of the spirit, walking in balance, in harmony with all beings. They communicated with the animals and fish that provided them with food. Trees and plants told them of their medicines. They knew the magic and mystery of the spirals. 

Using this knowledge, some of them traveled great distances with ease. Even today, some of the Hopi people of the Southwest desert in the USA still remember the stories of my people appearing in their underground chambers. They would speak with the Hopi people, do ceremony with them, and then disappear through the walls of the kiva.

These people had no need for police, laws, courts, judges, or prisons. It is the way of the circle to help each other and for each to contribute their talents and skills for the well-being of the community. The best hunters and fishers would share the hunt. 

The women gathered food together and shared it with everyone. They lived by the Original Instructions to love, honor, and respect all beings in the circle of life. This was given to all people at the beginning of the Creation. It's written in the hearts.

Prophecy of the Seven Fires
according to The Mishomis Book by Edward Benton Banai

Seven prophets appeared to the people. The First Prophet told the people that in the time of the First Fire they would leave their homes by the sea and follow the sign of the megis. They were to journey west into strange lands in search of a island in the shape of a turtle. 

INDIA-PAKISTAN BORDER FIRING AMONG WORST IN DECADE: ARMY

Vatic Note:  I am so glad we have been covering the issues of the Sikhs and the Hindu's or this would be alien info to us.   We have enough background to understand what is going on here.  Punjab/Kashmir is right were the fighting is taking place, and that means they are in the middle of this mess.   Now here is my question..... "as far back as 2008, when Obama was running for President,  ZBIG BREZSINZKI WAS THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS ADVISOR TO OBAMA DURING HIS CAMPAIGN".  

It was during one of the debates that it came out that Pakistan would be a target under Obama's administration and this was before he received the Nobel Peace Prize.  So how did he receive that prize  after saying he was going to attack Pakistan???  And so the deception began and has been ongoing ever since.   32 dual Israeli cittizens run the white house along with their communist counter parts who are CLOSET FASCISTS. 

Further, once in office, he began the harassment of Pakistan using drones to kill civilians, saying it was to hunt down and kill muslim terrorists.   Instead, the death  toll included women, children and old people.  In other  words, civilians, which is against international law and considered a crime against humanity.

I also remember, how Bush Jr,  gave India nuke technology and bombs to counter those developed by the Pakistani's.  So, is this how they intend to start WW III?  Further, there are problems between the Sikh's and the Pakistani's and between the Sikh's in Punjab and the Hindu's who hire assassins to kill Sikh leaders.   So what the hell is really going on over there?  Good find, Seawitch.  

I find it a coincidence that all these violent events are going on all over the world.  So, are the globalists coordinating all this?  My suggestion to "the people" of every single nation.  Forget where they are trying to direct your attention and instead focus on those bankers "IN YOUR COUNTRY" doing all this.   If each of us did this,  it might just trigger an avalanche of banker displacement to their homeland of Israel. 

I just ran across an article that we will be posting proving the Hindu's are the nazi's and we also posted a blog where a Rabbi in Israel was telling the Hindu's to come back home to Israel.  It implied and stated that the Hindu's were Khazars that migrated in ancient times to India and the rabbi pointed out all the similarities between their two religions to make his point.  Go back and revisit that one.   

So, given the Khazars historically have been the nazi's everywhere they have invaded, then it makes sense that it would also be here in America through their control of banking and corporations, I also suspect that is the case with the Hindus in India. My final word on it is this:  LET THEM FIGHT IT OUT AND WE STAY HOME AND BRING OUR DRONES BACK HERE.  Mind our own business and save money by letting neighbors solve their own problems.

Srinagar, India (AFP) Oct 23, 2013

                           Vatic Note:  you can see on this map the
                            location of Punjab to Kashmir right next
                            to each other.   Will there be a spill over?
                            One more thought I had.... is this a game
                            by both sides with a globalist agenda? I
                            don't know, but its prudent to ask.                                    

India said Wednesday a soldier was killed during heavy cross-border firing with Pakistan, which the army described as among the worst since a ceasefire agreement a decade ago.
India's paramilitary Border Security Force (BSF), which patrols the internationally recognised border south of the disputed frontier in Kashmir, said one soldier had been killed and six injured in overnight firing.

BSF spokesman Vinod Sharma told AFP that 50 frontier posts were targeted in a further escalation of small arms firing and shelling that has taken place regularly over the last month -- despite public pledges to ease tensions there.

Indian army spokesman Nitin Narhar Joshi told AFP the flare-up is among the worst since 2003, while senior army commanders speaking on condition of anonymity said it was the most serious.

"The situation along the LoC is certainly one of the most serious witnessed since the ceasefire," Joshi said. "Now it is becoming ever worse with the sanctity of the international border also being severely violated by Pakistan."

Firing along the disputed Line of Control (LoC) that separates Kashmir into Indian and Pakistani sectors has taken place sporadically ever since 2003.

But the recent rise in incidents has caused alarm. The subject was taken up by Prime Ministers Manmohan Singh and Nawaz Sharif at the UN in New York last month when they pledged to improve conditions to build trust.

India's defence ministry says it has compiled more than 200 ceasefire violations this year, more than all the other violations since 2003.

Pakistan's military responded on Wednesday blaming Indian troops for the uptick in cross-border firing.

"Indian BSF also targeted 27 Pakistani posts in last two days and fired almost 4000 mortar shells and 59000 rounds of machine guns," it said in a text message sent to AFP, adding that Pakistani troops effectively responded to Indian firing.

"During last two weeks, due to Indian shelling two civilians and a Rangers soldier have embraced Shahadat (martyrdom) and 26 civilian have been injured on working boundary and LoC," it added.

Sharif is currently in Washington and is set to meet President Barack Obama later Wednesday, after angering India by calling for US involvement to help settle the six-decade dispute over Kashmir.

The BSF's operations chief in New Delhi, Raju Krishna, repeated longstanding Indian suspicions that cross-border firing is aimed at helping Islamist militants from Pakistan infiltrate into Kashmir.

"We are giving a befitting reply to prevent the infiltration bid," Krishna told AFP.
The Muslim-majority Himalayan region of Kashmir is divided and administered separately by India and Pakistan but claimed in full by both.

It has triggered two of their three wars since independence from Britain in 1947.
Indian Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid last week described the military flare-up as a "serious matter".

Vatic Note: Oh, my gawd, no wonder I am so damn healthy.  As a kid we did not have TV or any distractions so I used to lay outside on the ground fully clothed and watch the clouds form and dissipate and reform, while chewing a wild spearmint leaves growing wild in the grass.  I did this all the time. It was my favorite pass time.   This fits so much with what we have covered on Vatic project.  Just recently we did a blog on the resonance of the sun,  which affects the resonance of the earth and thus the earth resonance matches our natural resonance.  Knowing as  much as we can about our natural world and how we fit in with it, is our job now.  God gave us everything we need to feed and heal ourselves, so its time to start seriously looking at the validity of that fact. 

Grounding is just another aspect of that 7.82 hertz that they described of the vibration of the earth that matches our vibration of 7.82 hertz, but even more interesting is the fact that the proper and best alkaline numbers for our bodies to keep cancer away, and to put us in proper balance is also 7. something with minor variations for each of us.  

Then we did another blog about the ghuru that had not eaten or taken water in years and was healthy and still alive, and he did sun watching every day for up to 20 minutes or longer and did it barefooted,  and that gave him all he needed to remain alive.  We then published the instructions on how to do what he had done in sun watching.

One of the things listed was to be barefooted, now is that a coincidence, or is grounding part of what he does for the very reasons listed below. Now that does not  mean you should not eat, it just means we have so many natural ways to prevent disease and to keep our health for most of our lives, that drugs and other unnatural substances are proven to be totally unnecessary if not downright harmful.  When you realize that legal drugs kill more people than all car accidents nationwide, then you also realize we must get back to basics and start all over again.

I got rid of my TV, I spend a lot of time barefooted because I like the feel of the earth, but  now I am looking at health as a goal.  Retaining it for as long as I can.  In fact, one day I said outloud to no one..... "I want to live to 150 years old" and I got a voice in my head that said "You are never going to die".   I laughed because I thought I was being silly, but now,  I am going to give this a real serious effort and see how long I live.  That is an ultimate test, don't you think?

Anyway, this was great and I bet that DVD is well worth the money to buy it.  If I had the extra money, I would do so.  If you have it then definitely get it and make it work for you.

Story at-a-glance

  • Walking barefoot on the Earth transfers free electrons from the Earth’s surface into your body that spread throughout your tissues providing beneficial effects. This process is called ‘grounding.’
  • Grounding has been shown to relieve chronic pain, reduce inflammation, improve sleep, thin your blood, enhance well-being and much, much more
  • Wearing plastic- or rubber-soled shoes effectively disconnects you from the Earth’s natural electron flow
  • In the Grounded documentary, you’ll hear first-hand accounts from residents of Haines, Alaska who have overcome chronic pain, sleep apnea and much more simply by getting grounded
  • Like eating right, exercising and sleeping, grounding can be described as yet another lifestyle habit that supports optimal health

Vatic Alert: Strange Military Aircraft Across America Being Reported

Vatic Note:  This is my second time putting this one up, they totally gutted it and I thought it was a different blog they gutted, so I went back to my "history" and discovered it was this one.  SO TAKE THIS ONE AS A SERIOUS NOTIFICATON OF THEIR "FALSE FLAG PLANS" USING ISON.  They are already harassing me again.  Damn. If we have a crash by this comet, let me asure you THEY DID IT SINCE THEY ARE MESSING WITH THIS BIG TIME.

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but this Ison comet has been touted by the "powers that be" owned press for weeks now and its  suppose to hit the earth and cause a possible extinction level event.   Well, notice at the same time, there has been testing globally with the space weapons, killing off targeted wild life at various different times, then WE HAVE NEW SEA LIFE DEAD FLOATING UP TO SHORE, AND THEY WERE CREATED AT THE PLUM ISLAND FACILITY AS WE COVERED IN ANOTHER BLOG... then there are weapons, such as the space laser we have been creating,  then we have the HAARP facility in space and 5  across the globe, including in the oceans.

Remember, the mayans say "not to fear" the event, its simply the return of the ancestors and wise men.   So, that is an assurance this is man made.  The suns massive gravitational pull  is far greater than ours and would divert that body away from us like it has always done, except for small asteroids or meteors.  So this is directed or its a "HOLOGRAPH" they intend to use to destroy us and bring in their NWO, since everything else they have tried has failed.  REMEMBER THAT THEY KILLED ALL THE BRITISH SCIENTISTS THAT WORKED ON THE STAR WARS PROGRAM, NOW WHY DID THEY DO THAT?  WHAT WERE THEY HIDING? 

Then we have all those coffins that have been around for over a year now and they have been evenly distributed across the country.  Then we have had massive troop movements and weapons movements by rail,  and now definitely unusual air traffic with drones all over the place and now this below.  Its time to get ready for them.   REMEMBER, WE ARE 380 MILLION STRONG, AND ARMED TO THE TEETH.  WE ARE ALSO AMERICANS AND PASSIONATE ABOUT OUR FREEDOMS...... AS THE SAYING GOES,  BRING IT ON  and get this sh*t over with.  Frankly, I will be glad to have this come to an end.

Think about it, if this were as they say,  then their underground facilities that they are working on completing, are useless for protecting them,  if that is the case than why are they continuing?   Well, if its an attack on us from our space facilities like it was on 9-11, then they are going to be fine underground, while we are told its a cosmic event.  LYING PIECES OF GARBAGE.  If we get through this one, then  we MUST PURGE THESE SICKOS OUT OF OUR NATION FOR SURE.

THIS IS THE JUSTIFICATION FOR GLOBALIZING ALL MILITARY ON OUR SOIL AS THE NWO TAKE OVER OF AMERICA.    

Strange Military Aircraft Across America Being Reported
http://beforeitsnews.com/military/2013/10/strange-military-aircraft-across-america-being-reported-2456060.html
by Live Free and Die,  October  21, 2013
 
Beforeitsnews recently received the following notification from a concerned American who has been noticing some very strange military plane activity near their home and wanted to let us know about it. This is only the most recent report of strange military air activity that we have learned of as several more incidents are also outlined below with source links. 

Is this strange military air activity related to Chinese and Russian troops coming into America? Is this related to United Nations prep here? Has anyone else recently noticed strange military air activity or does anyone have any idea what all of this strange activity is all about? Videos also below.

 

“I live in Jacksonville, Florida. I have been here for over 23 yrs. I lived by Mayport Navy base for 10yrs. And after and since then I have always seen navy planes, ships etc…just bc we are a BIG Military base city, with 4 bases here! I now live in the country but close to our Jax airport….not unusual to see commercial jets and NOT unusual to see navy jets or hear them…they always run practice tactics and so forth. BUT lately and especially TODAY I have seen more Navy planes and UNIDENTIFIED military planes flying so low and so close together in time that I am truly wondering ?

We (my family) are what you would call “Preparers” and even have been accused of being extreme…lol…only bc we listen to the REAL News and we keep our eyes open and most important, we Listen and WATCH and we analyze and scrutinize “TRENDS” …..as I am writing 2 more fighter flights or unidentified planes are flying By!!” 

This message is only the most recent information that we have uncovered of strange military air activity in the last few weeks and months. Off The Grid News reported back in July: BREAKING: Strange Planes Landing At US Air Force Bases. They shared:

There have been multiple civilian sightings of strange planes landing at American Air Force bases, all carrying UN troops and/or having UN markings (or none). My husband, a Vietnam vet, has been back and forth to Overton-Brooks VA Medical Hospital three times a week this month. Barksdale Air Force Base, one of the most secure Strategic Air Command (SAC) bases in the nation, has had unusual C-130s or C-136s fly into Barksdale AFB and land at all hours. 

The interstate runs in front of the side and front of the base and is clearly visible with no restraints. (Barksdale is where President George W. Bush landed on 9/11, it is such a safe, secure, and well-guarded installation.) These flights have been reported by other citizens and several of the military men who work inside the base have reported that the UN troops are given US military clothing and name tags. When our servicemen question this, the soldiers are told they did NOT see what they just saw. Base operations refused to confirm or deny or discuss these sightings.

From Grey Area News we learned:

According to www.skyshipsovercashiers.com, strange things began happening following the closing of GSMNP (Great Smokey Mountain National Park) public roads. Beyond the barricades, residents began reporting loud booming and grinding noises.   (VN:  I just went our local San Juan forest and there is massive trucks going in and out of the forest and they would not allow anyone to go in.  So  I had to come back,  MORE PROOF THEY DO NOT EXPECT AN EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT. )

Several residents who traveled into the park on foot and by ATV were turned away by armed men. One person who walked through the woods to take photos of the Great Smoky Mountains “Masonic Monument” began feeling nauseous, and shortly after heard loud booming noises. No construction has been seen, despite the noise above and from under the ground.

In addition to a sensation of sickness, some residents have found odd residues on their property following an airplane fly-over. It is unknown what “crop dust” or defoliant would be used in these forest-and-residential areas. More than a few residents developed respiratory illnesses following the residue’s discovery.

Several residents and visitors to the park reported unexplained heavy equipment movements and aircraft fly-overs. The equipment included trailers hauling odd structures. The fly-overs included large military aircraft used for containers drops and “crop dusting” aircraft. These activities are near Balsam Mountain.

Vatic Note:  I found it interesting that Britain has become the haven for other countries elite mafia criminals.  I suppose it matches the royalty of Britain, with the Queen and her blatantly racist husband and his handling of their financial affairs without true oversite by the peoples elected reps.

Its amazing what these British royalty get away with on a regular basis and the people turn a blind eye because she is the German Queen ruling a British colony of Germany.  khazar controlled no less.  I keep thinking about how both her and her royal consort, Phillip, killed native American children in Canada and got away with it, when they were the last ones to be with these children.  Their dead bodies were found buried on the school grounds years later.  Nothing was done about it.

These royals, are truly Pond Scum for doing to those children what they did and ended their short lives before they had a chance to grow and live their lives.  But then the Canadian gov is fully ruled by the racist khazar Queen and thus reflects her abomination in all things human.  This is exactly why we should fight to the death any attempt by them to bring us back into their commonwealth empire. As for this ex banker, I will wait and see.

MOSCOW, March 1 (RIA Novosti) - Self-exiled former Bank of Moscow chief executive Andrei Borodin has been granted political asylum in Britain, his lawyer said on Friday.

“Yes, he got political asylum in Britain. This status is not time-limited,” Borodin’s lawyer in Russia Dmitry Kharitonov told RAPSI legal new agency, confirming Friday media reports.

In an interview with Vedomosti business daily published on Friday, Borodin said that in his appeal for asylum he maintained the criminal case against him in Russia was politically motivated.

The British authorities could not be immediately reached for comment.
Moscow will seek Borodin’s extradition regardless of his status in the UK, the Russian Interior Ministry said on Friday.

“Russian law enforcement agencies will continue to demand Borodin’s extradition, as he has been charged in absentia with fraud and is on an international wanted list,” the Ministry said.

Russian investigators launched a criminal case against Borodin and his former first deputy Dmitry Akulinin in late 2010 on charges of large-scale fraud involving state funds at Bank of Moscow, which functioned as the capital's chief investment vehicle under former Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov.

Vatic Note: Update:  THEY ARE REALLY MESSING WITH THIS BAD.   iTS THE SECTIONS BELOW WHERE I CAN'T PUT UP PARAGRAPHS, AND ITS ABOUT THE ACTUAL MASSACRES THAT OCCURRED AND MURDERS OF THE SIKHS THAT THEY DO NOT WANT US TO KNOW ABOUT.  PLEASE READ THROUGH IT ALL,  AS I HAVE FIXED IT 3 TIMES NOW AND IT ALWAYS ENDS UP AS YOU SEE IT NOW, SINCE i REALIZE THEY INTEND TO CONTINUE TO MESS WITH THIS.   I BELIEVE THEY INTEND TO USE INDIA AND PAKISTAN TO START WW III SINCE BOTH HAVE NUKES, WITH US ON THE SIDE OF THE FASCIST INDIANS.   As I have said before, I know as much as you about this subject, but enjoyed the journey into a completely different culture, so much that I decided to learn as much as I could about the background and length of time of this conflict, that would justify one side genociding another side.

After reading all this below, I decided for myself, that as usual, there is no justification for genocide under any conditions, unless its the bankers in every nation. Just kidding, but ridding our nations of them is a must, so kicking them out should be done.

Anyway, this is to help us understand why the Sikhs want that designation for the 1984 massacre/genocide, from the United nations. Lets help them get it, since there, but for the grace of God, go all of us.

We present a very informative article by Khushwant Singh - taken with courtesy from 'Punjab Story'
Sikhism was born out of Hinduism. All the ten Sikh gurus were Hindus till they became Sikhs. The Granth Sahib which Sikhs regard as the 'Living Light' of their gurus can be described as the essence of Vedanta.

Nevertheless like other reformist movements Sikhism broke away from its parent Hindu body and evolved its own distinct rites of worship and ritual, its own code of ethics, its separate traditions which cumulatively gave it a distinct religious personality

The founder of the Sikh faith, Guru Nanak (ad 1469-1539) was a Kshatriya of the Bedi (those who know the vedas) sub-caste. When he was 30 years old he had a mystic experience after which he announced his mission with the simple statement: ‘there is no Hindu, there is no Mussalman.'

The statement could be interpreted in different ways. It could mean that there were no basic differences between Hinduism and Islam. Or that followers of neither religion were true to their faiths. Or that all human beings were the same and dividing them into different religions was pointless.

However, during the same mystic experience, Guru Nanak is said to have received orders from God to preach a new faith: 'Nanak, I am with thee. Through thee will My Name be magnified. Go into the world and teach mankind how to pray. Be not sullied by the ways of the world, let your life be one of praise of the word (naam), charity (daan), ablution (ishnaan), service (seva) and prayer (simran).'

Guru Nanak spent the remaining years of his life travelling to different parts of India and West Asia. His last years were spent in village Kartarpur where he set up a dharamsala (place of religion). Large numbers of peasants became his shishyas (disciples) from which the word Sikh is derived. For his rustic followers  he  summed  up  his  message  in  three  simple commandments: kirt karo (work), naam japo (worship) and wand chako (share what you earn).

The way of life Guru Nanak recommended was somewhat different from that of the Hindus and Muslims. He emphasized the role of truthful companionship (satsangi) which was interpreted as the company of those who accepted Nanak's teaching. The breakaway from Hinduism began by having different places and modes of worship.

Sikhs did not chant Sanskrit shlokas to stone idols but sang hymns composed by Nanak in his own mother tongue, Punjabi. Sikhs broke bread in the guru's kitchen (guru ka langar) where men and women of different castes including Harijans sat alongside and ate together. They did not use Hindu greetings like namaskar or jai Ram ji ki but their guru's Sat Kartar (True Creator). All this resulted in building a community of people who had more in common with each other than to other communities to which they had belonged.

It is still disputed whether Guru Nanak intended to reform Hinduism, form a third community or bring Hindus and Muslims together. It would appear that in his earlier career he tried to bring the two communities closer to each other. Being himself a Hindu he was at the same time equally concerned with reforming Hinduism. But as the years went by and his message caught on among the masses, he decided to give his teachings permanency through a sect of his own.

The process of separation was carried a step further by Guru Nanak's chief disciple, Angad, who succeeded him as the second guru. He evolved a new script, Gurmukhi, in which he compiled his mentor's and his own compositions. The third Guru, Amar Das, introduced many innovations which tended to break the close affiliations of the Sikhs with the Hindus. He fixed the first of Baisakh as a day of general assembly for the Sikhs, introduced new forms of ceremonies for births, deaths and marriages and selected hymns to be chanted on these occasions.

He abolished the practice of purdah, advocated monogamy, encouraged inter-caste alliances, remarriage of widows and forbade sati. Guru Amar Das's son-in-law, Ram Das, who succeeded him as the fourth guru, acquired the site of the present city of Amritsar and had a tank dug around which bazaars went up. His son and successor, Guru Arjun, raised the Harmandir in the midst of this tank. It was Arjun who made the first clear statement that Sikhs were an independent community:

"I do not keep the Hindu fast, nor the Muslim Ramadan;
I serve Him alone who is my refuge.
I serve the one Master who is also Allah.
I have broken with the Hindu and the Muslim.
I will not worship with the Hindu, nor like the Muslim go to
Mecca, 

I shall serve Him and no other. I will not pray to idols nor say the Muslim prayer. I shall put my heart at the feet of the One Supreme Being; For we are neither Hindus nor Mussalmans. "

Guru Arjun gave the Sikhs a place of pilgrimage of their own. They no longer had to go to Varanasi or Hardwar to wash away their sins in the Ganga, they would go to Amritsar and bathe in the pool surrounding the Harmandir. He gave them a scripture of their own, the Adi-granth which they could read and understand because it was in their mother tongue and did not need services of Brahmins to read out Sanskrit texts from the vedas or the upanishads which neither of them understood. With his execution in ad 1606 he also gave them their first martyr.

"With the death of Guru Arjun a new dimension was added to the Sikhs' separate identity. Arjun's son, the sixth Guru Hargovind (1595-1644), decided to arm his followers and proclaimed himself both spiritual and temporal head of the community Mere peers da maalik.

Facing the Harmandir he built the Akal Takht (Throne of the Timeless God) where, instead of . chanting hymns of peace, the congregation heard ballads extolling deeds of heroism, and instead of listening to sermons, they discussed plans of military campaigns. He asked his followers to make offerings of horses and arms and enroll as soldiers.

Thus far though the Sikhs had established a communal identity of their own, they continued to be regarded as the militant arm of Hinduism. This was reaffirmed in the martyrdom of ninth guru, Tegh Bahadur, known popularly as Hind di chaadar- Protector of India in ad 1678.

The guru had appeared before the Mughal court as a representative of the Hindus of northern India to resist forcible conversion to Islam. His son, Guru Gobind Singh, described his father's martyrdom in the following words: 'To protect their right to wear their caste marks and sacred threads, did he in the dark age, perform the supreme sacrifice... He suffered martyrdom for the sake of his faith, he lost his head but revealed not his secret.' 

Guru Gobind Singh (ad 1666-1708) brought about the final transformation of a pacificist Sikh community to a fraternity of the Khalsa Panth (Community of the Pure). From his writings it appears that he drew inspiration from martial deities like Goddesses Chandi, Sri and Bhagwati.

At the same time he ordered his followers to wear their hair and beards unshorn, / have one name 'Singh' and carry other symbols of the Khalsa including a kirpan. Thereafter a real Sikh was a Kesadhari Khalsa: he who did not subscribe to the Khalsa was either a Sahajdhari (slow adopters) or a Hindu believing in Sikhism.

For many generations the transition from Hindu to Kesadhari Khalsa remained an easy one as was evident in the almost overnight conversion of Lakshman Das, a Rajput of Poonch, and his assumption of the leadership of the Khalsa with the title Banda Bairagi or Banda Singh Bahadur (ad 1670-1710). It was under Banda's leadership that Khalsa armies won their earliest victories over the Mughals, Banda struck coins in the name of the Panth. The inscriptions on the coins were significant:

Coins struck for the two worlds with the sword of Nanak And victory granted by the grace of Gobind Singh.

Banda and several hundred of his Khalsa soldiers were captured and executed in Mehrauli, near Delhi, in March 1710. Their blood created fertile soil for the sprouting of Sikh political power.

The relationship between the Hindus and the Khalsa remained extremely close as long as they were confronting the Mughals, Persian and Afghan invaders. Hindu youths coming to join the Khalsa simply let their hair and beards grow, accepted pahul (baptism) without breaking their family ties, it was during this period that the custom of bringing up one son as a Sikh grew amongst many Punjabi Hindu families.
                                                         
                                            Koh-i-Noor diamond

When Sikhs assumed power in Punjab under Maharaja Ranjit Singh (ad 1780-1839), Punjabi Hindus had even more reason to turn to the Khalsa. The Maharaja, though a devout Sikh, would also revere Brahmins, worship in Hindu temples and bathe in the Ganga. He made killing of cows a criminal offence punishable by death. Although he rebuilt the Harmandir in Amritsar in marble and gold leaf, when it came to disposing the Koh-i-Noor diamond his first preference was to gift it to the temple at Jaganathpuri.

The Sikh kingdom collapsed within ten years of Ranjit Singh's death. The British annexed Punjab in 1849. With an alien neutral party set up as arbiter of their destinies the relationships between Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs underwent a complete change.

This had dramatic consequences on the close affinity between the Punjabi Hindus and Sikhs. They had been like one people, some bearded, others clean shaven but together forming   a   united   front   against   Muslim   onslaught   or domination and equal partners during the years of triumphs under Ranjit Singh. With both the Muslim threat and the Sikh kingdom gone, external pressures that had kept them together disappeared.

They had to redefine their mutual relationship. At the same time the British realized the advantages to them in keeping the Sikh identity separate from the Hindu. Assured of Sikh loyalty during the Mutiny of 1857 they rewarded Sikh princes and zamindars with grants of land and recruited Sikh soldiers in large numbers into their army provided they had taken the pahul and were orthodox Khalsa. An economic incentive was thus added to Sikh separatism.

The first blow to the Hindu-Sikh unity was struck by Arya Samaj. In 1877 Swami Dayanand Saraswati visited Punjab (oddly enough at the invitation of Sikh organizations) and opened a branch of the Samaj at Lahore. He launched his shudhi (purification) movement to bring breakaway Hindus including Sikhs back into the Hindu fold. Swamiji was intemperate in his speech; he described Guru Nanak as a dambhi (hypocrite) and the Granth Sahib as a book of secondary importance. The Arya Samachar published from Lahore lampooned Sikhism in the following verse:

Nanak Shah Fakeer ne naya chalaaya panth Idhar udhar sejor karlikh mara ikgranth;

Pehley cheley kar liye, pichhey badla bhes Sir par saafa bandh kar, rakh leeney sab kes.

Sikh organizations retaliated with anger. Singh sabhas were set up in Amritsar and Lahore to counteract Arya Samaj propaganda. They had the blessings of the British government. A spate of books on Sikhism were published in Gurmukhi and English including the definitive six volumes by M.A. Macauliffe, The Sikh Religion. Amongst these was Kahan Singh's booklet, Ham Hindu Nahi Hain, 'We are not Hindus.'

The process of separatism was carried a step further by the Akali movement launched in the 1920s to wrest control of Sikh gurdwaras from hereditary mahants (priests) who had for generations been with non-kesadhari Sikhs or Hindus. The most significant outcome of the four years of intense Akali agitation in which the Hindus had supported the mahants was equivocally stated by Mahtab Singh in a speech in Punjab Legislative Council in April 1921. He said: 'I, for one, say that if the Sikhs do not wish to remain in the fold of Hinduism, why should the Hindus seek to force them to do so? What benefit can they obtain by keeping on unwilling people as partners in their community? Why not let them go?' 

Some Hindu leaders tried to retrieve the situation. 'I look upon Sikhism as higher Hinduism,' said Raja Narindra Nath. Sir Gokul Chand Narang described them as 'the flesh of our flesh and the bone of our bones.' It was too late. The Sikh Gurdwara Act of 1925 which passed the control of Sikh temples to an elected body called the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) defined a Sikh as one who believed in the ten gurus and the Granth Sahib and did not believe in any other religion. Separate electorates with reservations of seats gave the Sikhs their own constituencies from which they elected their own ^ikh representatives. Reservations of proportions in civil and military services further ensured them that their privileges could only be enjoyed by the Khalsa. The British gave the Sikhs a vested interest in retaining the Khalsa identity distinct from the Hindu. Relations between the two communities remained cordial, even intimate, as much as matrimonial alliances between members of the same caste living in urban areas continued as before. As Muslim pressure for a separate state mounted and Hindu-Muslim riots broke out in many parts of northern India, Hindus and Sikhs once again formed a united front the same way their forefathers had done to face Muslim invaders and tyrants. When Partition of the country became a reality both Hindus and Sikhs living in the part of western Punjab which went to Pakistan left their lands, hearths and homes and emigrated to India. Partition of Punjab and Independence once again brought about a change in Hindu-Sikh relationship. Numbers had always been the chief problem of the Sikh community. At the time of Partition they formed no more than thirteen per cent of the population of the undivided Punjab and a bare one per cent of the population of India. Of the five million Sikhs, the prosperous half had their lands and homes in the part that went to Pakistan. They were the worst losers in the division of the country. This had serious impact on their fortunes as well as on their psyche. The two-and-a-half million that were expelled from Pakistan had been the richest peasantry of India owning large estates in the canal colonies. They changed places with the largely landless Muslim peasantry of east Punjab and had to take whatever little land that was made available to them as Muslims evacuee property. Besides losing their land and properties Sikhs had to come to terms with secular India. Privileges they had enjoyed under the British rule by way of reservation of seats in legislatures and preferential treatment in the recruitment to the armed forces and civil services were abolished and they had to compete with other communities on the basis of merit. Sikhs who had observed the Khalsa symbols of unshaven hair and beards only for the economic advantages that accrued began to give them up. Their numbers began to dwindle. The abolition of separate electorate and the introduction of a joint one made the Sikhs, who were in a minority in all but a few districts of Indian Punjab, subservient to the Hindu majority. The Sikh community's point of view came to be expressed in purely communal organizations like the SGPC and local gurdwara committees. However, since the Sikh migration was halted at certain points, for the first time in their history Sikhs came to form a majority of the population in some districts of Malwa. The deprivation combined with the fact that they had some regions where they predominated gave birth to the idea of an autonomous Sikh state. The sentiment was expressed in a single query: Hindus got Hindustan. Muslims got Pakistan. What did the Sikhs get out of Partition and Independence? The notion of an autonomous Sikh state started taking shape with the announcement that boundaries of state would be drawn along linguistic lines. This was done for all the 14 major languages spoken in India except Punjabi. The Sikh rightly construed this as discrimination against the community and began to agitate for a Punjabi-speaking suba. Their task was made easier for them by the Punjabi Hindus who, sensing what the Sikhs were really after was a Sikh majority state, allowed themselves to be persuaded to declare to the census commissioners that their mother tongue was Hindi. The battle over language in effect became a confrontation between Punjabi Hindus and Punjabi Sikhs. The antagonism continued fitfully with passive resistance movements launched by the Akalis and lasts and threats of immolation by their leaders. Ultimately on the conclusion of the Indo-Pak War of 1965 in which the Sikh peasantry played a notable role helping Indian troops on the front line, a commission was appointed to demarcate Punjabi speaking areas from the Hindi-speaking. Thus, in 1966 Punjab was split into three states: Haryana, Himachal and Punjabi-speaking Punjab in which Sikhs formed about 60 per cent of the population. The story of the new Indian Punjab since its inception has been one of political instability against the background of spectacular advances made in agriculture. On the political front, governments came and went - sometimes of the Congress, at others of Akalis allied with the BJP interspersed with president's rule. At the same time Sikh peasants took to modernizing their farming methods by using tractors, introducing new varieties of hybrid seeds developed in the Ludhiana Agricultural University, using fertilizers, insecticides and harvesters. The yield per acre was doubled and then trebled. The Green Revolution in wheat was followed by similar increase in the production of rice and sugarcane. There were not enough flour, rice or sugar mills in the state to process the produce. Prosperity brought its own problems. At harvest time labourers from UP and Bihar began to come in thousands to Punjab to work as farm-hands on daily wages. Many decided to settle there and were enrolled on the voters lists. At the same time large number of Sikhs began to migrate to Western countries. Thus, the proportion of Sikhs began to decline. The Akali party also discovered to its dismay that although it had been the chief instrument in getting the suba, when it came to wielding power it was more often than not that the Congress party won at the polls and grasped the sceptre. A sense of disillusionment crept in. By the middle of the 1970s the Green Revolution had reached a plateau state with bumper harvests levelling out. At the same time the already small land-holdings became even smaller as families multiplied. Employment opportunities abroad were seriously curtailed by stringent visa regulations imposed by foreign governments. This, combined with the absence of industries in the state, resulted in a rapid and alarming increase in the number of educated unemployed. Thus, volatile human material was created for politicians to exploit. In April 1973 the Akalis took another step which they thought would ensure Sikh hegemony in Punjab's affairs. This was the passing of the Anandpur Sahib Resolution. In this controversial resolution (at least three different versions are in circulation) the Sikhs were described as a separate nation. It also demanded greater autonomy for the state, readjustment of the states' boundaries including Punjabi-speaking areas which had been given to Himachal, Haryana and Rajasthan. Not much notice was taken of the Anandpur Sahib Resolution at the time it was passed and later ratified by the Akali Dal. Even during the time the Akalis formed governments in Punjab, they took scant notice of it. However, it was to the credit of the Akali party that when Mrs Gandhi declared the state of Emergency on 26 June 1975, the Akalis not only opposed it but continued to agitate against it by sending batches of volunteers to offer themselves for arrest. Most Akali leaders spent the Emergency years in jail. It paid them handsome dividends. In the elections that followed the lifting of the Emergency, the Akalis carried the electorate with them and in alliance with the Janata formed a government on 27 March 1977 under the chief ministership of Prakash Singh Badal. The Akali-Janata government lasted barely two years. As the Janata government at the centre fell and Mrs Gandhi returned as prime minister, she dissolved the states' legislatures including that of Punjab and called for new elections. The Congress party routed the Akali-Janata combine and Darbara Singh was elected chief minister. The Congress party government under Darbara Singh proved disastrous for the state. For one, Darbara Singh and his Predecessor Giani Zail Singh who had been inducted into the central cabinet as home minister, were forever throwing spanners in each other's works. For another, Akalis, now out of Power and with little prospect of regaining it through the electoral process, decided to destabilize the Congress government through agitation. They hauled the Anandpur Sahib Resolution out of the archives and proclaimed it as a charter of Sikh demands. To this they tagged another 45 ranging from the substantial ones like readjustment of the state's boundaries and a fairer allocation of waters of Rivers Sutlej and Beas to which it was the only riparian state, to the utterly trivial ones like renaming a train as the Golden Temple Express and banning sale of cigarettes, liquor and meat in the vicinity of the Golden Temple. They followed it up with a series of agitations: nahar roko (blocking the canal meant to link Punjab's river waters with the Yamuna), rasta roko (block road traffic), kam roko (stop work). And finally declared a dharamyudh (righteous war) from Amritsar against the government by sending over a thousand volunteers a day to court arrest. Alongside this passive resistance movement a parallel Sikh fundamentalist movement began to build up under the leadership of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale (1947-84). It had begun with the confrontation between orthodox Khalsa and Nirankaris in Amritsar on 13 April 1978 in which 13 lives were lost, mainly of Bhindranwale's followers. The Nirankaris put on trial were acquitted by a judge who found that they had acted in self-defence. Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale swore vengeance. The Akalis lent their support to him. From the Akal Takht the Nirankaris were proclaimed as enemies of the Khalsa Panth. On 24 April 1980, Baba Gurbachan Singh, the Nirankari guru, was assassinated in Delhi by Bhindranwale followers. This was followed by the killings of many Nirankaris in different parts of Punjab. Nevertheless, Bhindranwale was allowed to go about freely, toured Bombay and Delhi and when arrested was let off. He became a formidable force and gathered round him groups of terrorists mainly from unemployed youths belonging to the All India Sikh Students Federation. From slaying Nirankaris, terrorists expanded their 'hit lists' to include Nirankari sympathizers, dissident Akalis and Congress party members. Their chief target was the Hindu-owned Jullundur based chain f papers. On 9 September 1981, Lala Jagat Narain, chief editor of Punjab Kesari, was shot dead. A year later Jagat Narain's son, Ramesh Chander, fell to their bullets. Amongst those killed were H.S. Manchanda, president of the Delhi Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee, DIG of Police A.S. Atwal, Dr V.N. Tiwari, nominated member of parliament and Gyani Pratap Singh, a retired priest. Many Hindu temples were desecrated and innocent Hindu and Sikhs killed in cold blood. It was obvious that the terrorists' ranks had been infiltrated by Pakistani agents, smugglers, Naxalites and common dacoits. The police were rarely able to identify or arrest the culprits. Its only method of dealing with the menace was to organize fake encounters and kill anyone they supported. And while the morcha continued, no Akali leader condemned these senseless killings in the language they deserved to be condemned nor had the courage to denounce Bhindranwale. The administration was totally paralysed. Meanwhile many meetings took place between Akali leaders and government representatives - issues were narrowed down and on at least two occasions agreement was within easy grasp when the talks had to be called off. It is difficult to say who was at fault, the Akalis or the government. Undoubtedly both. When Bhindranwale sensed that the government had at long last decided to arrest him he first took shelter in the Golden Temple, then occupied and fortified portions of the Akal Takht. In full view of hundreds of armed constables, sophisticated arms including light machine guns and hand grenades were smuggled in. Killings which had so far been carried out beyond the precincts of the temple spread to the sacred precincts as rival gangs slew members of the other. By the spring of 1984 it was clear that the day of reckoning between the authorities and Bhindranwale could not be put off for long. Akali leaders out of fear were unwilling or unable to order Bhindranwale out of the temple complex. The administration could not make up its mind about how and when to act. Mrs Gandhi's advisers were unable to arrive at any settlement with Akalis and on a number of occasions when virtually all points of dispute had been resolved, they withdrew from their commitments, fearing that an agreement with the Akalis might be construed as yielding to pressure and might have adverse reaction on the numerically much larger Hindu vote in northern India. There were times when a force of commandos in plain clothes would have easily overpowered Bhindranwale and his men, who did not exceed a couple of hundred men spread out over the temple complex, and taken them alive or dead. Nor was it considered feasible to occupy the Guru ka Langar by force, or deprive Bhindranwale and his men of food and fuel and force them out of their entrenchment to come out and fight. On the contrary, the situation was allowed to develop to an explosive point and the worst possible time was chosen for action. On 3 June 1984 was the anniversary of the martyrdom of Guru Arjun Dev. Thousands of pilgrims who had come from neighbouring villages were staying in the temple Sarai and the Parikrama. On 1 June, the army took over the state, cut off all communications with the outside world and imposed curfew in the city of Amritsar. Sporadic exchange of fire began on 1 June and continued for the next three days. On the evening of 5 June, the army entered the temple complex with tanks and armoured personnel carrier and blasted the Akal Takht. No one will ever know the final figure of casualties except that it was well over a thousand (three times more than Jallianwala Bagh in 1919) and hundreds of innocent men, women and children were killed. The Akal Takht including some priceless relics was in shambles. The temple archives which contained hundreds of handwritten copies of Granth Sahib and scores of Hukumnamas bearing signatures of the gurus went up in flames. Contrary to the government's contention that the Harmandir had been untouched, scores of bullet marks were later found piercing its marble and wooden windows. The premises were subjected to extensive looting. Gurdwara golaks (money-pitchers) were emptied. Cash and office equipment in the SGPC and Akali Dal offices were taken. To destroy all evidences, entire buildings with all their records were set on fire. The most damning judgment of Operation Bluestar is that the government did not foresee what the reaction of the Sikh community numbering 14 million would be to the storming of their holiest of holy shrines. The vast majority of Sikhs had no sympathy for Bhindranwale and were indeed nauseated by his venomous utterances and the senseless killings by his gun-men. Some who had submitted to Akali politics were disillusioned by their leaders lack of foresight. Most had no interest in politics of any sort. And it was they who felt that the government had used Bhindranwale as an excuse to give the entire Sikh community a bloody punch in their nose. With the strict censorship imposed in Punjab, all we know of Operation Bluestar is the army-cum-government version of the action. It may be quite some time before we get to know the other side of the story. It is therefore only fair that readers should have some idea of what people who were present and witnessed the entire episode have to say. Of the hundreds of accounts received by me - with forgivable exaggerations by people who went through the ordeal - I have chosen one by Brian Singh, secretary of the Akali Dal because it is a factual narration of incidents that took place. This is what he has to say: 'On the morning of 1 June 1984, CRPF began to fire on the Golden Temple from different directions. The firing continued all day. As a result of this firing one Kulwant Singh was killed in Baba Atal Gurdwara and five men were killed in the Akal Takht. One firing was reckless and 32 bullet marks were seen on the "alls of the Harmandir. On 3 June, curfew was imposed on the entire state; all manner of traffic was stopped and communication including telephones were cut off. Sunday, 3 June was the anniversary of the martyrdom of Guru Arjun. Because of the relaxation in the curfew pilgrims had been able to enter the Parikrama. A large number of them slept the night in the Parikrama. So did many sevadars, paathis (scripture readers) and the devout who voluntarily clean temple premises at night. Volunteers numbering between 1800 to 1900 who had come to participate in the dharamyudh morcha to offer themselves for arrest were in Teja Singh Samundari Hall and Guru Ram Das Niwas. Amongst them were 1300 Akali workers under the leadership of Jathedar Nacchattar Singh including 200 women and 18 children. 'On the morning of 4 June at 4.40 a.m. army cannons and machine-guns began to fire. There was no kind of notice or warning given. The firing went on all day into the night. I spent the night in my office in Teja Singh Samundari Hall. Most of the shells fell on the Akal Takht, Baba Atal, the Water Tower, Guru Nanak Niwas, Guru Ram Das Langar, and buildings behind the Akal Takht. Firing continued till five o'clock of the evening of 5 June. At 5.15 p.m. two Sikhs came from the Baghwali Gali which runs behind Guru Ram Das Niwas with the message that Sardar Abhashi Singh was wanted outside by Sardar Apar Singh Bajwa, DSP with the news that the army would stop firing from 4 to 5.30 p.m., so that anyone who wanted to come out could do so. I and Abhashi Singh conveyed the information to Sant Longowal and Sardar Gurucharan Singh Tohra. They asked me, S. Balwant Singh Ramoowalia and Abhashi Singh to go out and persuade the DSP to extend the time by an hour so that women, children and other helpless people could get out. However, while we were still at the gali, the firing was resumed with even greater intensity. During the interval about 40 to 50 armed Sikhs came from the Parikrama to Guru Ram Das Niwas, took positions on the rooftop and began to return the army's fire. With this the army bombardment came to be directed towards Guru Ram Das Niwas, Teja Singh Samundari Hall and rooms of the Dharam Prachar Committee. We sat down in the middleof Teja Singh Samundari Hall while Sant Longowal and T hra along with ten Sikhs went into the president's room. We spent the entire night awake because of the firing. 'On the morning of 6 June, the army came inside Guru Ram Das Niwas and entered Teja Singh Samundari Hall. Sant Longowal, Tohra, Bibi Amarjit Kaur and other Sikhs with them were taken into custody by the jawans led by two officers and escorted away. We followed them from Teja Singh Samundari Hall towards Ram Das Niwas. In this time about 200 to 250 Sikhs collected, of which many sat down in the courtyard of the niwas. From the upper storey of the niwas a grenade fell on them. Jatheder Bagga Singh, a soldier and some Sikhs were killed. Nacchattar Singh's leg was blown off. He did not receive medical attention and succumbed to his injuries after four hours. When the grenade fell it was still somewhat dark. Soldiers lost their temper and began to fire wildly killing between 30 to 35 people including women, children and aged people. Amongst the many who were injured were committee employees, Raj Singh, Dayal Singh and Gurubachan Singh. The injured men came to me and asked for medical help. I spoke to a subedarwho sent a soldier to escort me to his major. When I got to the major I saw about 35 or 36 young Sikhs lined up with their hands raised above their heads and the major was about to order them to be shot. When I asked him for medical help he got into a rage, tore my turban off my head and ordered his men to shoot me. I turned back and fled jumping over bodies of the dead and injured and saved my life by crawling along the walls. I got to the room where Tohra and Sant Longowal were sitting and told them of what I had seen. S. Karnail Singh Nag who had followed me also narrated what he had seen as well as the killing of 35 to 36 young Sikhs by cannon fire. All these young rnen were villagers of which about 20 to 21 wore long darhi and others were mona. All of them had been hauled of the Guru Ram Das Sarai. This incident took place about 8.30 p.m. 'We had nothing to eat or drink the day earlier. This day also we went hungry and thirsty. At about 4 o'clock, Tohra, Sant Longowal and their companions were taken out. People were crying for water. Some slaked their thirst with dirty water which had run down the damaged water tank and was mixed with blood and dirt of the courtyard. Of them nearly 120 were injured. There was no Red Cross or medical aid of any kind available for them. At 7 o'clock they began to remove the corpses and by 9 we were taken to military camps. I reached there at 9.30.1 and my companions were released on 23 June 1984.' Signed BHAN SINGH 23 June 1984
