Gordon Brown on the 'Non-Existent' Global Government

Gordon Brown is talking about what many people are calling global governance, or when they aren't mincing words, global government. Similar calls are made from Council on Foreign Relations members like Fareed Zakaria, a regular contributor for propaganda clearing house "Newsweek" in articles like "Writing the Rules for a New World."

Global problems, they argue, need global solutions. Global problems like the H1N1 Swine Flu pandemic, which later turned out to be over-hyped by industry insiders. Global problems like the current economic melt down perpetrated by the very financial institutions and regulatory organizations seeking additional authority and consolidation with even less oversight than before. Global problems like "terrorism" and "conflict" that the globalists are firmly, undoubtedly behind. Indeed, they are proposing global government to solve these global problems, they themselves are making.

These are immensely powerful people, the remnants of the European empires and the by-product of America's "Manifest Destiny" seeking global consolidation through these "global institutions".'

The Extraordinary Tale of Red Rain, Comets and Extraterrestrials

For years, claims have circulated that red rain which fell in India in 2001, contained cells unlike any found on Earth. Now new evidence that these cells can reproduce is about to set the debate alive.

Panspermia is the idea that life exists throughout the universe in comets, asteroids and interstellar dust clouds and that life of Earth was seeded from one or more of these sources. Panspermia holds that we are all extraterrestrials.'

Tax Blunder Rebellion: Experts Urge 1.4m NOT to Pay Up For the Taxman's Mistake

Around 1.4million Britons are being urged to stage an unprecedented revolt over plans to claw back up to £3.8billion in under-paid tax.

It follows the botched introduction of a new computer system by the taxman which has left millions of bills in chaos.
The first batch of 45,000 letters demanding cash to be repaid will start to arrive on Tuesday - with the rest sent out over the next four months.

But accountants said recipients should act swiftly to use a little-known loophole which forces HM Revenue and Customs to abandon 'out of the blue' demands and effectively write off the money.'

Homeschoolers Interrogated by Secret Police, Face Imprisonment

Four families who reside in Mahalapye, Botswana face an uncertain future due to an increasingly tense standoff over the issue of homeschooling. The families, adherents of the Seventh Day Adventist church, homeschool because of their religious and philosophical convictions. Despite their sincerely-held religious beliefs and the inability of the court to find any social or educational problems with the children, they have nonetheless been ordered by the local court to enroll their children in public school or face unknown consequences.

On September 10, a judge in Botswana is scheduled to decide their fate. Attorneys for the family are seeking an urgent interdict to prevent the magistrate court from taking any action against this family. HSLDA is asking for your help.'

US Troops Forced to Help out Iraqis in Baghdad Firefight

It was the first exchange of fire involving US troops in Baghdad since the Aug. 31 deadline for formally ending the combat mission in Iraq, and it showed that American troops remaining in the country are still being drawn into the fighting.

The attack Sunday also made plain the kind of lapses in security that have left Iraqis wary of the US drawdown and distrustful of the ability of Iraqi forces now taking up ultimate responsibility for protecting the country.'

US Government to Spend Billions to Help Big Pharma Produce Flu Vaccines Faster

Federal health officials are pushing hard this year to convince everyone to get the flu shot, but according to reports, this will only be possible if drug companies are able to produce the vaccines quicker than they did last year. So in order to make this happen, the government is doling out roughly $2 billion in taxpayer funds to Big Pharma to spur faster vaccine roll-out.

The hysteria over last year's supposed swine flu pandemic led to the development of millions of vaccines that were never used. By the time drug companies finished producing the vaccines, flu season was virtually over, leaving millions of leftover doses to rot in warehouses.

So this year, officials are doing everything they can to speed up the production process so the vaccines will be ready when the scare campaigns begin this fall. Except this time, officials are planning to target virtually everyone over the age of six months, including healthy, young adults.'

'Floating Chernobyls' to Hit the High Seas

China and Russia agreed to expand co-operation over nuclear power, specifically on uranium exploration and safer power plants – but also on floating nuclear reactors.

"It's a case of Homer Simpson meets the Titanic," says Ben Ayliffe, a senior climate campaigner at Greenpeace. "The idea is just mind-boggling."

Unsurprisingly, he is appalled by the idea.

U.S. Mercenaries Were Behind Croatian Offensive in Balkan War

As her lawyers see it, during the Balkan War of the 1990s, America began to "outsource" some of the dirty work of war and diplomacy to private contractors. They allege that behind the early morning attack that the Croats dubbed "Operation Storm" was a northern Virginia-based consulting company called MPRI Inc., made up of former high-ranking U.S. military officers that included a chief architect of Operation Desert Storm a few years earlier in Iraq.

What the Mijics and other Serbs in Croatia went through, their lawyers allege, was a proving grounds for the kind of brutal strategy orchestrated later in Iraq by the now infamous Blackwater Worldwide company, another private military contractor whose security guards were charged by the Justice Department in 2008 with killing at least 17 Iraqi civilians during a firefight the year before.'

Obama's Middle East Peace Talks: A Circus to Distract

What a joke. President Obama surely knows there is zero chance that his Middle East peace talks will succeed, even with the deck stacked in his favor. All of the main actors are on the U.S. payroll: Israel, Egypt, and Jordan get billions in foreign aide, while the Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has proven a pliable puppet for the U.S. as he is disdained by his own people.

But even puppets have their limits. If the above governments were to support the type of peace treaty that Israel would agree to, their already oppressed people would revolt.

This is because Israel has been quite clear about what it will and will not "concede.” The basis for all Middle East Peace talks has always been the land that Israel stole during the 1967 six day war: the Golan Heights in Syria must be returned; the West Bank must be un-occupied; East Jerusalem must be returned to the Palestinian people. UN Resolution 242 demands that Israel return these territories. It will not.'

The former Prime Minister, whose new autobiography has already broken sales records, admitted he was “concerned” about the protests at the book signing on Wednesday.

He suggested the event, at the Waterstone’s store in Piccadilly, could be cancelled because he did not want to “put everyone through a lot of cost and hassle” and it “is not as if we need to do it”.

Mr Blair labelled as "sad", people who to disrupt the book signing but indicated he may cancel it amid evidence other hostile groups, including the British National Party, could join protesters.

He said the Metropolitan Police were "fabulous and they will do whatever we ask them to do" but should not be asked to commit resources unnecessarily.'

Dear Tony,

Congratulations on your political memoir becoming an instant bestseller. I'm in Iran and have the only copy in the country. I can tell you, it's so fiercely fought over, it's worth its weight in WMD's. Note to Random House; have 'A Journey' translated into Farsi and Arabic ASAP, it'll fly off the shelves in this part of the world.

Tony, yesterday I went to Al Quds day protest in Tehran. You may have heard of it? It's the rally where Iranians gather to protest against Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine, including the Holy city of Jerusalem (al-Quds).

I'm being sarcastic by asking if you've heard of Al Quds day, because I know you have. It is your very worst nightmare right? After all Tehran is the place where politics and Islam intertwine.'

Johnson & Johnson Being Sued for Drug Conspiracy

Among the charges are allegations that J&J violated federal Medicaid laws with its schemes to maximize profits.

According to the suit, J&J was paying kickbacks to Omnicare to promote its drugs above those of other manufacturers, and convincing doctors that switching to J&J drugs was in their patients' best interests. The arrangement also included whitewashing these kickbacks as "performance rebates" that would be issued as "year-end bonuses".'

Ripping Off Dead War Vets' Beneficiaries

A letter explained. As his beneficiary, she was entitled to $400,000 in death benefits along with something looking like a checkbook. The funds "would be placed in a convenient interest-bearing account, allowing her time to decide how to use" them, the letter saying:

"You can hold the money in the account for safekeeping for as long as you like," plus a disclaimer in easily overlooked fine print, explaining "what it called its Alliance Account," a non-FDIC insured scheme, a ripoff to defraud beneficiaries like Lohman.

After leaving the funds untouched for months, she tried unsuccessfully using one of the "checks," then failed a second time. She was "shocked," saying she thought the money was FDIC insured, in a bank, to be used freely.

Not so. The "checks" were drafts or IOUs. "That money - like $28 billion in 1 million death-benefit accounts managed by (130 insurers like Prudential) wasn't actually sitting in a bank." It was in Prudential's general corporate account earning income - around 4.8% for insurers, 1% or less for survivors. This summer it was 0.5%, less than half what some banks pay on jumbo CDs, and way less than insurers yield on their investments.'

Iraq: End of Combat Yields Surge of Contractors

Even as President Obama claimed this week that the end of combat operations in Iraq "completes’’ a transition in which Iraqis have taken responsibility for their own security, he knows that the US pullout is not as thorough as he let on. The American presence takes the form not just of uniformed personnel — tens of thousands of whom will remain — but also of largely unaccountable private security contractors, whose numbers are likely to grow.

The number of US troops in Iraq peaked at 169,000 in 2007, and by following through on a planned withdrawal Obama has at least signficantly lowered America’s official exposure. This is no small step in a war that President Bush began under false pretenses and that has cost the lives of more than 4,400 American soldiers, 10,000 members of Iraq’s security forces, and at least 100,000 Iraqi civilians.

But while Obama talked about the 50,000 troops that will stay in "advising and assisting’’ roles, he made no mention of our shadow private military. With our troops leaving, the State Department confirmed (after it was brought to light by the New York Times) that it will increase its private security contractors to protect diplomats from its current 2,700 to between 6,000 and 7,000 people. In keeping mum about private security contractors, Obama is following in Bush’s murky tradition.'

Help Needed Urgently

Hi everyone.

Well the time has come to ask you all to dig deep into your pockets and see if you can spare any hard earned money to keep this going. I am currently in the process of trying to move the site away from Blogger ( I don't want to be dependent on Google, would you?) and into an independent website, I have bought the domain name http://www.dotconnector.co.uk/ and have got the web hosting sorted although it is going to cost a lot more than I originally anticipated as the hits on the site keeps growing and growing so the hosting I have got is just enough to set the thing up but with the increased traffic to the site as it stands now and the amount of content that is added both daily and my plans for the new site mean that the costs are going to expand dramatically.

I envisage that I am going to need somewhere in the region of about £700 per month to cover all the costs both direct and indirect.

I know that times are tough for us all but with 1000+ visitors per day on the site it would mean that if only a days worth of visitors each donated £0.70 then we will have achieved our goal.

Anyway thanks for taking the time to read this and if you cant afford to donate just send other people to the site .

Many Thanks

What Is 'Dark Ecstasy' And How Is It Used To Control Us?

A lot of people wonder what makes humans capable of astonishing violence and savagery. Why is human history littered with war, violence, and brutality in so many forms? How come when we turn on the news we hear tales of serial killers, war, government insanity, rapists, arsonists, pedophiles, nuclear weaponry, vaccines and any other number of atrocities? Why is it that horror movies, violent and dark music, violent video games and other media is so powerful and popular? There is an eternal force that has corrupted and obsessed mankind since the beginning of time and that force is called Dark Ecstasy.'

Canada-Israel Public Security Agreement. Canada involving Israel in the Americas, Despite Blatant Human Rights Violations

Guilty After Six-Year Trial, Portugal's High-Society Paedophile Ring

To most people Portugal's state-run orphanages seemed like a safe haven for thousands of children who had been robbed of their parents. They were called the Casa Pia, or Houses of the Pious.

But for an elite paedophile ring, which included a former ambassador and a prominent television celebrity, Casa Pia orphanages were something entirely different. They were supermarkets stocked with children to abuse. Yesterday, at the conclusion of the longest trial in Portugal's history, seven defendants were convicted of using the orphanages to rape and abuse scores of teenage boys in a case that has sent shockwaves through the country's political elite and raised serious concerns over the efficiency of Portugal's judiciary.

Mind Control Symbolism in Russian Pop: Vintage’s 'Mikkie'

As seen in previous articles on The Vigilant Citizen, mind control symbolism is often found in the videos of young sexy pop stars who are on the rise. In most cases, the stars take on the role of the mind control victim in the videos, making the symbolism relating to it seem cool, sexy and desirable, while the idea of mind control is unconsciously planted in the minds of young people. Many videos depict rather vividly the harsh reality of being “puppets of the industry”, to a point that it is all out in the open, but most viewers remain clueless because they can’t see past the thin veil of symbolism found in the videos. This phenomenon is not only found in America, but in all parts of the world: in this case, the Russian pop group Vintage (Винтаж).

The group—Anna Pletnev, singer and composer Aleksey Romanov and dancer Svetlana Ivanov—released a single titled Mikkie, containing all of the aspects of the Illuminati agenda. The themes of mind control, alter-personas, abuse, sexualization, and dehumanization can all be found in this video, as well as in some of their previous works. So, before we get to Mikkie, we will quickly look at two previous videos.'

Former Senator Simpson: Veterans Should Voluntarily Give Up Their Disability Benefits to Help Reduce the Deficit.

John Pilger — Flying the Flag, Faking the News

Edward Bernays, the American nephew of Sigmund Freud, is said to have invented modern propaganda. During the First World War, he was one of a group of influential liberals who mounted a secret government campaign to persuade reluctant Americans to send an army to the bloodbath in Europe. In his book Propaganda, published in 1928, Bernays wrote that the “intelligent manipulation of the organised habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society”, and that the manipulators “constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power in our country”. Instead of propaganda, he coined the euphemism “public relations”.

The American tobacco industry hired Bernays to convince women that they should smoke in public. By associating smoking with women’s liberation, he made cigarettes “torches of freedom.” In 1954, he conjured a communist menace in Guatemala as an excuse for overthrowing the democratically elected government, whose social reforms were threatening the United Fruit Company’s monopoly of the banana trade. He called it a “liberation”.

Bernays was no rabid right-winger. He was an elitist liberal who believed that “engineering public consent” was for the greater good. This could be achieved by the creation of “false realities” which then became “news events”. Here are examples of how it is done these days.'

Urge Waterstone's to Cancel Tony Blair Book-Signing Event

Tony Blair is due to launch his memoirs with a book-signing at Waterstone's in Piccadilly on Wednesday 8 September.

He has announced that all proceeds from his book will be donated to a charity for helping rehabilitate seriously injured soldiers. This is very welcome but Mr Blair should be left in no doubt that donating a small fraction of the £20 million he is estimated to have earned since he left office in 2007 cannot absolve him for the war crimes he committed as prime minister.

It is reprehensible that Waterstone's bookshop is hosting Mr Blair's book-signing. As a number of authors, artists and campaigners wrote to The Guardian:

"This event will be deeply offensive to most people in Britain. A large majority of the British public say Mr Blair told lies and fabricated evidence to take Britain into a war with Iraq that he knew to be illegal under international law... The consequences for the Iraqi people has been hundreds of thousands of killed, 4 million more driven from their homes and the destruction of their country... Tony Blair's memoirs will be an attempt to justify the crimes he committed when prime minister. We believe Waterstone's will seriously harm its own reputation as a respectable bookseller by helping him promote his book."

Please send an email to Waterstone's urging them not to host Blair's memoir launch on Wednesday 8 September. Use the model letter below or delete this and write your own. Personal letters are more effective.'

Why Does Disney Hate Parents? Ever Noticed Your Favourite Films Always Kill off Mum and Dad

But later, I realised something else that binds Disney films, other than good old nostalgic charm: an absence of parents.

Bambi, abandoned by his father before birth, experiences the hunting and subsequent shooting of his mummy. A tragedy that still reduces me to uncontrollable sobs four decades after I first saw it with my own mother.

That's not all. In the Lion King, Simba is implicated in the death of his father and runs away in a vain attempt to escape his misery.

While Nemo - the rebellious fish - is the sole survivor of a violent barracuda attack on his mother and siblings and spends much of the story estranged from his father.

The realisation that these three films all drew on a parent-less theme made me reel. Surely it was only coincidence?

Apparently not. For Disney, that most child-friendly of organisations, appears to have something of a parent problem.

Since its formation in the Twenties, Disney's output has featured a steady supply of dysfunctional and broken families.

Let's Send British Petroleum Into the Fires of Hell.

When you talk about British Petroleum you have to talk about the Bride of Dracula, the original noxious, bat cave, the Queen of England, also the head of the Black Nobility; or close enough. My favorite picture of this slithering reptile is when she goes around on Christmas Day or New Years and dispenses season’s greetings to the junkies and homeless on the street. After a heartfelt, “Merry Christmas!” and a brisk handshake, it’s on to the next affair of state, which usually involves a senior cabinet member porking his chauffeur.

When you talk about British Petroleum, you also have to talk about the true vampire elite, The Rothschilds. They employ the Chinese Boxes style of accounting and operations fronting. I remember that photo of Warren Buffet, the mere piker of an investment entrepreneur from America, standing with Schwarzenegger and Jacob Rothschild prior to his investiture as Governor of California.

Not a day goes by when I don’t hear about British Petroleum doing something they are not supposed to do, denying it, being caught at it and… not a damn thing being done. They continue to pour Corexit into The Gulf at night, to keep the oil from the surface, or whatever the intricacies are, in order to avoid having to pay for their evil actions, which will inevitably lead to the deaths of thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands; who knows?'

Fluoride: Direct Engagement to Incite Public Inquiry

All things relative and the timing of things shouldn’t go un-noticed. Some things just can’t be dismissed as coincidence because not everyone was born yesterday – some were born the day before…

On August 28th, an almost overlooked article by Karen Shideler of The Wichita Eagle was caught by one of our fellow activists and forwarded to me, covering a meeting by the Visioneering Health Alliance, here in Wichita. Consisting of about a hundred members chiming in on issues such as, “…obesity and diabetes, mental health, oral health, and health disparities”, near its conclusion the author quotes a number of participants seeking a renewed call for fluoridating (i.e. sedating) the citizens of Wichita under the guise of oral health.'

Analysis: The Zionist Lobbys in Britain

The investigative journalist Janine Robert rightfully believes that the Israeli lobby in Britain has been more successful than its counterparts in the United States.

She argues that in the US, the voting patterns of most of the 14 Jewish Senators in the Senate and 30 Jewish Congressmen and Congresswomen in the House of Representatives appear to be Pro-Israeli, while in the UK, where we have a Jewish community 20 times smaller, there appears to be 18 Pro-Israeli MPs in the House of Commons and 41 Pro-Israeli Lords in the House of Lords. This is the highest Pro-Israeli representation in the West.

She also believes that this achievement is due in part to Tony Blair's patronage. One of Blair's first acts on becoming an MP in 1983 was to join Labour Friends of Israel. But the major change only occurred after he became Prime Minister.'

'IAEA Can Not Check Israeli Nuclear Sites'

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) acknowledges that the nuclear watchdog can not monitor and assess Israel's undisclosed nuclear sites.

The IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano said on Friday that Tel Aviv had restricted the agency in examining its nuclear potentials.

Amano's comments were made public in a report to the Vienna-based watchdog's Board of Governors.

In his visit to Israel last month, Amano called on Israel to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).'

Quake Damage Could Hit $2 Billion in New Zealand

A 7.0 magnitude earthquake has rattled New Zealand's South Island, causing widespread damage which could reach $2 billion, officials say.

"The cost will be easily into the hundreds of millions of dollars just for (the commission), for the residential property... It could reach between one and two billion dollars," Earthquake Commission chief executive, Ian Simpson, said on Saturday.

According to the US Geological Survey, the epicenter of the earthquake was 45 kilometers west of New Zealand's second largest city of Christchurch, AFP reports.'
