official statement

Official Statement from Occupy Wall Street - this statement was voted on and approved by the general assembly of protesters at Liberty Square: Declaration of the Occupation of New York City

As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.

As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.

They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage.

They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses.

They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one’s skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation.

They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization.

They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless nonhuman animals, and actively hide these practices.

They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.

They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.

They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers’ healthcare and pay.

They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility.

They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance.

They have sold our privacy as a commodity.

They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press.

They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit.

They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce.

They have donated large sums of money to politicians supposed to be regulating them.

They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil.

They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people’s lives in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantive profit.

They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit.

They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media.

They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt.

They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad.

They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas.

They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts.*

To the people of the world,

We, the New York City General Assembly occupying Wall Street in Liberty Square, urge you to assert your power.

Exercise your right to peaceably assemble; occupy public space; create a process to address the problems we face, and generate solutions accessible to everyone.

To all communities that take action and form groups in the spirit of direct democracy, we offer support, documentation, and all of the resources at our disposal.

Join us and make your voices heard!

when monks burn

buddhist monk thich quang duc self-immolates in downtown saigon - 1963

in the last week, no fewer than three monks have set fire to themselves in protest of the stringent chinese regime incurring loss of religious rights & personal freedoms in tibet. and it's just another awful story in the news... most of which highlight the acceleration of sanctioned tyranny on this planet.

which people are the governments of the world working for exactly?

we are the revolution

this is what the television networks and newspapers are not broadcasting.

NZ sucks NWO cock

there's just no polite way to say it unfortunately.

a history of national pride based on a stalwart nuclear free heritage & fierce independence in the face of american pressure over the ANZUS treaty for over three decades to practically overnight embrace contortionism, bend over & simultaneously suck at the knees of the united states, figurehead of the one world government. oh new zealand, i feel your shame.

just before 53 minutes into the white house briefing below, prior to NZ prime minister, john key's recent meeting with barack obama, the question is raised "whether it's time to end the archaic dispute with new zealand & welcome them back into the ANZUS alliance".

as iconic game show host selwyn toogood said: "the money or the bag?" looks like it's truly in the bag. the rest is paint by numbers. follow the accursed money trail.

amazing what a couple of earthquakes can do. hello HAARP.

or an errant fundamentalist christian in oslo... or a pair of toppled towers. a litany of lies & brutal blackmail. a subversive international campaign of terror. the war on terror conducted by none other than the harbingers of. a self-fulfilling prophecy of colluded funds into a black ops hole budget [14.5 US trillion dollars national debt & counting], with increased limitations of public recourse. what free speech?

smiling assassin, key said in his meeting with obama, "if the situation in norway is an act of global terrorism it shows that no country big or small can fail to learn from that risk which is why new zealand plays its part in afghanistan as we try to join others like the united states to make the world a safer place."

another irrelevant war on the other side of the planet. a fait accompli of money-bending distraction, while the real one is waged in our minds, through whatever consumer-held media device of choice. did mao tse tung burn all history books?

i feel so much safer already... following this trail of dollar crumbs right back into the military industrial complex bank while the common people continue to be raped, mouths wide open. inflatable dolls to be blatantly exploited, waiting to have orifices filled with more new world order cock. and swallow.

apparently there's nothing else on the menu. and we have our mortgages to think of. not to mention the next generation ipad, etc. apple is now bigger than microsoft & intel combined. what great consumers we all are. as the blind lead the blind.

sign of the kiwi: photo by virtual tourist

sceptics in defiance of a report released by the kremlin last week are disputing predictions that there'll be another quake in NZ around the end of this week. the report partially corroborates some of renegade weather predictor ken ring's announcement that there'll be another quake in new zealand around march 20th.

to demonstrate the extent of their disbelief, the sceptics are planning a lunch in one of christchurch's [still standing] oldest stone building's [the sign of the kiwi]. they will be joined by ACC government minister, nick smith in order to expose what they say is popular mythology and "nonsense" due to concern that a large number of people have been taking the predictions seriously. one can only hope if they're wrong they order very dry martinis as extreme aperitifs. james bond would surely approve.

a "super moon" is predicted for this saturday by astronomers. the web is awashed with theories about its connection to earthquakes which is disputed widely by various scientific factions. the moon will be at its perigee, the closest point to earth on its orbit on march 19 as well as being a full moon. it will be the closest the moon has been to earth in almost  two decades.

the sun unleashed a powerful Class X1.5 solar flare on March 9, 2011, a solar storm that could supercharge earth's auroras. The flare was recorded by NASA's solar dynamics observatory and other spacecraft. here, it appears in white at the upper right of the sun as seen by the solar dynamics observatory.

this is coupled with an arc of increased solar flare activity which has been shown to have significant impact on our weather and magnetics. the japanese earthquake last week was preceded the day before by a massive solar flare. russian researchers have shown the connection between earthquakes and magnetic storms is about 50%.

there's also been an alleged HAARP connection leading once more back to the european oligarch's and US/NWO powerbrokers... interesting.

ken ring has responded to the traditional media, sceptics and scientific institution that he is not needlesslessly fearmongering and pointed out that the scope of science is immense without much being understood demonstrating that many universities around the world are working on a lunar and/or solar link to earthquakes and then asked "what is science?"

ring also cited additional support to this theory by referring to the national geographic article about a study co-authored by a graduate student from the university of california, showing a correlation between tides and earthquakes, and a report link on the study.

he has produced extra evidential support through links to an article in the journal of geophysical research 'evidence for tidal triggering of earthquakes as revealed from statistical analysis of global data'  with a link to a blog by biologist dr jennifer marohasy which references the moon's position at the time of the tokyo quake.

also included a link to this story which is based on the kremlin's report:

EARTHQUAKE WARNING FROM RUSSIAN INSTITUTE of PHYSICS of the EARTH

First posted by Real News Reporter on March 12, 2011.

A new report released today in the Kremlin prepared for Prime Minister Putin by the Institute of Physics of the Earth, in Moscow, is warning that the America’s are in danger of suffering a mega-quake of catastrophic proportions during the next fortnight (14 days) with a specific emphasis being placed on the United States, Mexico, Central America and South American west coast regions along with the New Madrid Fault Zone region.

This report further warns that catastrophic earthquakes in Asia and the sub-continent are, also, “more than likely to occur” with the 7.3 magnitude quake in Japan today being “one of at least 4 of this intensity” to occur during this same time period.

Raising the concerns of a mega-quake occurring, this report says, are the increasing subtle electromagnetic signals that are being detected in the Earth’s upper atmosphere over many regions of the World, with the most intense being over the US Western coastal and Midwest regions.

Important to note are that Russian and British scientists are at the forefront of predicting earthquakes based on these subtle electromagnetic signals and have joined in an effort to put satellites in space to detect more of them.

More ominously in this report are Russian scientists confirming the independent analysis of New Zealand mathematician and long-range weather forecaster, Ken Ring, who predicted the deadly Christchurch quake and this week issued another warning of a quake to hit on or about March 20th.

Ring explains his methodology for predicting earthquakes as follows:

“The planets very much affect the earth, indirectly, by having an effect on the Sun. Some planets are very large. If the Sun was a basketball the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn would be the size of grapefruits, and the Earth would be, on that scale, the size of a peppercorn.

Jupiter and Saturn cause extra tides on the Sun when they get on either side of the Sun (as with Moon – Earth-Sun when the moon is full) and when these gas giants get on the same side as the Sun, (as with Earth -Moon – Sun when the moon is new). These greater solar tides become sunspot activity and solar flares and can be understood as akin to the increase in tides caused by the Moon when it too gets alongside Earth or opposite Earth.

At the moment we have Jupiter and Saturn on either side of the Sun and creating a tug of war with Earth in the middle. That started last September and will continue until about May. In September the Earth was right in line with Jupiter, Saturn and the Sun too.

That’s why there were several 7+ earthquakes around, it wasn’t just us. For instance there was one in Pakistan on the same day as Christchurch. This Jupiter/Saturn alignment continues until about May, and the Earth comes back into line as well in March. It is why there may be an extreme event, perhaps a large earthquake, around 20 March, which is when the Moon may be again in a trigger position.”

According to this report, however, where Ring is correct in assessing blame for our Earth’s earthquakes on the Sun and Planets, his substituting of Perigean Spring Tides (also known as King Tides) for the low pressure systems associated with them may be incorrect.

The mention in this report of massive low pressure systems being associated with catastrophic earthquakes is especially dire to the United States Midwestern region, which even today is continuing to be pounded by horrific rainfall amounts, and most especially impacting the New Madrid Fault Zone State of Arkansas which has suffered over 800 earthquakes in the past 6 months alone.

Equally in danger, this report continues, is the South American Nation of Bolivia which has, likewise, suffered catastrophic low pressure system storms that in the past week have killed over 52 people.

Most ominous in this report, though, is its warning that the fault-riddled State of California may be about to suffer its most catastrophic earthquake in decades as new reports for this region show the mass death of millions of fish [photo bottom left] is now occurring, and just like the mass stranding of whales on New Zealand beaches days prior to the February 22nd destruction of Christchurch.

Making the situation for our Planet even grimmer are the reports that our Sun is continuing to spew forth massive solar flares, the latest warned to hit our Earth today or tomorrow thus prompting the Hermanus Space Weather Warning Centre (SWWC) to issue a Solar Flare warning for the Southern Hemisphere.

Interesting to note in all of these events is the United States Army announcing this week that it is holding a rare training event involving the US Military, the CIA, Canadian officers, US Treasury and State departments, the US Agency for International Development, the Defense Threat Readiness Agency and the International Red Cross between March 21-25 at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and which should the worst happen they will certainly be prepared for it.

As this report concludes, that as of yet, “no firmly reliable” method for predicting earthquakes has been scientifically recognized, it is well worth noting the too many to be ignored anomalous coincidences leading up to catastrophic mega-quakes are breaking out all over the World and should only be ignored at ones peril.

as the clock ticks away, we don't have long to wait to see whether the sceptics can legitimately mock the seers. do they know something we don't? perhaps they've received the HAARP weekly memo already.

new zealand's darkest day [part i]

 copyright: quake catcher network seismic monitoring [QCN]

new zealand is in its first ever national state of emergency. the christchurch/lyttleton earthquake has hit the country hard. about 1g to be precise. according to research program QCN, stations around christchurch registered accelerations up to 1g [9.8m/s/s] equivalent to the force of gravity at the time of the quake.

NZ prime minister, john key said on february 22, 2011, "we could be witnessing new zealand's darkest day". along with fellow countrymen & women joined by people from all around the world, i'm inclined to agree. perhaps for slightly different reasons.

states of emergency are interesting in that for the course of their duration government seizes absolute power. historically they have often been used as a rationale for suspending rights & freedoms under the guise of duty of care. on february 26, 2011 barack obama also issued a national state of emergency over libya imposing immediate sanctions on muammar al qaddafi & his ilk. SOE is SO february 2011.

in actual fact USA is now in its tenth successive year of a national state of emergency since 9/11. it keeps getting extended & the unaccountable war on terror shows no sign of letting up. the military industrial complex hums, and the government works through its agenda unchecked.  the bush/barack partnership lives on. who would have thought they'd have so much in common? but he's still "barackky from the block".

ever notice that "benevolent" dictators are born from civil or natural disasters?

the third reich was essentially in a twelve year long state of national emergency after hitler came to power championing "reichstagsbrandverordnung - the decree for the protection of the people & the state". individual liberties became relegated to grimm brothers faerie tales.

political theorist, carl schmitt's [1888-1985] produced a body of work focused on legally contextualising the state of emergency & illustrated that the historical application of it was the rule rather than the exception, which can transform the political system into an apparatus of death.

we're surrounded by modern day machiavellian princes wearing slippery suits & bleached smiles. in the twentieth century, congress in the united states passed 470 laws alone delegating emergency powers to the president. behind the patriot act is a plague of PR savvy boy scouts.

today, america would be outraged if UN troops entered los angeles to restore order [referring to the 1991 LA riot]. tomorrow they will be grateful! this is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond [i.e., an "extraterrestrial" invasion], whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. it is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. the one thing every man fears is the unknown. when presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the world government. - dr. henry kissinger, bilderberger conference, 1991

new zealand's history is a social experimental playground. seen as a backwater commonwealth colony with a small isolated population base, it has been long used by international voyeurs to monitor the pioneering & implementation of principles & ideas in an unusually ideological & egalitarian scape.

most notably: a founding constitution which recognised the indigenous people's rights, women's suffrage, the welfare-state which encapsulated "having a fair go", anti-nuclear stance, and an iconic "she'll be right" modus operandi which evolved from the golden age of the 50s when NZ once boasted the highest living standards in the world. alas no longer. backflipping to more controversial radical reforms like SOE [state owned enterprise] privatisation, rogernomics, think big, and a deregulated labour market [employment contracts act].

not exactly a success story economically, new zealand has had our international credit rating downgraded twice as foreign debt & inflation soared. i would always hear about that stuff as a kid & have no idea what it meant. the net result was my mother fastidiously tearing out "new world" grocery coupons & and enforcing shorter showers because the rain tanks could run dry. they were always rigidly timed anyway.

while my sister & i would squirm with boredom, the parents would utter nonsensical binary with disturbed faces during the six o'clock news on TV ONE. then my mother would appease our father's brooding form with bags of lollies as if administering to a child. meanwhile outside our 1980s living room, other OECD economies grew by an average 20% through to the early 90s. NZ remained stagnant, shrinking by 1% & went into recession & is still barely sustainable today.

growing up i didn't really notice the direness of the eighties. it had always been that way, although i knew we weren't rich. i was a marmite & weetbix kid. mum drove my grandfather's old ford cortina instead of her fantasy trans am & my father a mitsibishi celeste: a yellow shark with tinted windows. i let him drop me off in front of the movie theatre to see "raiders of the lost ark".

government enforced carless days were a problem-solving adventure & it was pre-playstation era so the lack of shininess in my rough & ready hand-me-down semi-rural life went largely unnoticed. our mother handmade a lot of clothes; the sewing machine whirring at night or the clacking of knitting needles would accompany BBC programmes [which we were allowed to watch, just "not american rubbish"], but on my thirteenth birthday we went shopping for a pair of to-die-for "matches" jeans to awkwardly frame long toothpick legs with customised nomad shoes. 'twas a memorable day.

a romantic era; i dreamed of being katherine mansfield at the bay, pined for william marshall who could run faster than me, played with my chemistry set, soaked stamps off envelopes to be dried, delicately filed and hinged in albums. we were healthy, grew untampered veggies in the garden where the bulrush & the living was easy. 

what tourist brochures don't show is the number of new zealanders still living in poverty which is estimated to have increased at least 35% during the recession years.

kiwis hit australian shores in droves during this era seeking employment & a higher standard of living. grossly underpopulated & needing a cash injection the NZ government relaxed immigration policy & flung our  doors open wide.

wealthy hongkongers arrived to dodge racial discrimination like flying squash balls [conservative locals took time to adjust to the sudden influx]. in the first five years of the 1990s the total asian population more than doubled [NZ census 1996]. an uneasy equilibrium was met.

our 2010 GNI is $12,639.40 per person putting us at #29 worldwide & that position right now seems precarious.

i believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. the issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs. 
- thomas jefferson, US president

those NZers that remain below the yellow line today are increasingly vulnerable to globalization & further right wing guiding principles, as the country moves into banana republic territory.

the beneficiaries of the old welfare state, casualties of shifting radical change which has failed to deliver the trickle-down effect promised in elections when voters agreed to sell off public services & assets. could new zealand be the new mexico?

if so, alarm bells should be ringing now, for with NZ's increased financial dependence on the "generosity" of outside agencies offering "aid & recovery deals" post earthquake, the usual suspects will move in. not paranoia just pragmatism.

biotech agent monsanto will probably soon be after our pristine water. this much documented, money-making predator machine has diversified beyond patenting the world seed supplies & then genetically engineering crop dependence on toxic chemical cocktails to threaten any remaining open pollinated heirloom varieties. the people who made 245T & agent orange are now implementing phase three:

the corporate water market is estimated at 600 billion USD worldwide, the less there is, the more it's worth. think diamonds & the de beers. sheiks & their oil fields. except our slavery to water is much more immediate & tenuous. drink up now... because of all the groups to put a twist on "there's something in the water" monsanto are the ones we want least to be involved. don't worry, the world bank is all over it. there could be a few jobs in it for us.

in the maquiladora zone of mexico, drinking water is so scarce that babies & children drink coca-cola or pepsi. this obviously drives corporate profits.

"all of us in the coca-cola family wake up each morning knowing that every single one of the world's 5.6 billion people will get thirsty that day. if we make it impossible for these 5.6 billion people to escape coca-cola, then we assure our future success for many years to come." - coca-cola annual report 1993

coca cola have since expanded into the water market & predicts that eventually the H2O line will surpass the soft drinks. how refreshing.

"there will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. and this seems to be the final revolution." - aldous huxley  1961

there was a 2 minute silence earlier today when it was still march 01, for the christchurch earthquake. i sat here at my computer with blue edward de bono hat on & thought about the situation & felt ill. it hasn't passed. my country has been raped & i fear it's just the beginning. the invisible gang will undoubtedly move in & cement their hold.

we are grateful to the washington post, the new york times, time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. it would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. but, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. the supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries. 

- david rockefeller, in an address to a meeting of the trilateral commission, june 1991

as much as i'd like to believe the recent earthquake eventuated because papatuanuku [earth mother/gaia] in well-rehearsed motions tossed & turned restlessly writhing ecstatically to reach up & meet her lover ranginui [sky father] up above, before rolling back over in her tomb into spent slumber, i don't think so. intuition says the answer does not lie in the old stories. at least not the traditional ones of our people.

my grandmother is now out of christchurch. despite not having water, power or the ability to flush her toilet for what could be months, she was reluctant to leave. bonded to the disaster & the house she built with my grandfather in the 1950s building boom, it is an indelible part of her identity.

 copyright: AP/mark baker

she is one of the lucky rational peasants. her house in south brighton still has a roof & walls, & none of her immediate family or friends are dead. but still the horror hangs like a heavy cloud above the increased activity which quietly buzzes beneath.

despite the basic conditions with many residents denied luxuries the west takes for granted [and they too until a week ago], the cream rises to the top of the liquefied mud. people are so incredibly resilient, beautiful in the face of travesty. there are heroes at every turn. the smiles still come easily enough. they are the happy poor people on the streets one sees on the news from our couches & marvels at. in third world countries.

we know what major corporations think of local cultures. there is no respect, only profits. i watch those documentaries.

globalization rhetoric exists for a reason. a few collaborators get paid off & the majority suffer. later to demonstrate the injustice, there might be another documentary long after the untouchable corporation has polluted the environment, subjugated the people, usually introduced a couple of never seen before lab-engineered diseases, exhausted the resources & the money is in the bank. being poor white trash won't help, corporate profits are not particularly discerning. the intent is single-minded. speaking english actually makes it easier.

my uncle reported from christchurch being amazed at the friendliness & warmth of my reclusive nana's neighbours whom there wasn't much of a pre-existing relationship with. their helpfulness & genuine concern brought tears to his eyes. this incredible disaster phenomena sees people unselfishly break through the barriers of segregation & fear far beyond the rolling TV cameras. it's a wonderful social experiment. for some more wonderful than others.

with a long post earthquake recovery ahead, hushed questions are starting to gather momentum: how could this have happened again? with all our science & technology why was this deadly quake not predicted? that was an aftershock? how can i feed & clothe my family now...

 NZ prime minster, john key with christchurch mayor, bob parker - copyright: zimbio

will there be enough insurance money? how will the country deal with the inevitable debt? where does the money come from? did john key sell out the nation aided by his perfectly delivered TV host mayor as they maxed media bang for buck with high rating backdrops in the best televised reality show yet [hang on bob, i just want to go in for your close-up]?

if this is NZ's 9/11, have we been somehow ingratiated into the farcical war of terror campaign? has the system failed us? or is it all going according to plan? just not ours. may we wake up now please! the internet frenzy builds as we gaze deeper into the test tube.

aggressive expansionists, the US with the UN were quick to jump to haiti's aid last year when severe disaster struck. the unprecedented 7.0 quake struck only 25 kms west of port-au-prince, haiti's capital. the resulting damage was incredibly immense because the earthquake also had a shallow depth. over 300,000 people died & 1,000,000 made homeless. hundreds of thousands of buildings completely collapsed. so horrific.

a few days after the event the US built a serious military presence in haiti following the shattered nation's request for help. because of the extent of their force, french minister, alain joyandet called on the UN to clarify the american role in the impoverished country which had previously been colonised by both countries. "this is about helping haiti, not about occupying haiti" he said.

then the aid came: USAID -the development agency arm of the US government has been implicated in engineering industrial contract kickbacks worth over 1 billion dollars overseas, OTT interference with local politics [remember their coup attempt of hugo chavez in venezuela in 2002, cuba, then bolivia under the auspices of providing help (in partnership with monsanto)], in the 70s they employed torture specialist, dan anthony mitrone to train special ops in uruguay whose target were left-wing latin american groups. with friends like these who needs enemies?

USAID's conditional love is a self-seeking double edged sword. a conduit for subversive CIA funding & front for intelligence gathering overseas. it was set up by JFK in the 1960s as a military propaganda adjunct to the puppet south vietnamese government & was closely involved with civil & military ties there until the end of the war.

there are no free lunches for third world nations. new zealand needs to sit up & pay attention. especially if the country has already been sold out.

if we stay focused on our own shores where does the money trail lead? new zealand is a young fertile country with lush alluvial soils, pasture, water, minerals and petroleum. a great candidate for further controlled tests. we're a globalist's wet dream.

oh they'll come. actually they're already here... FEMA deputy chief, admiral thad allen was coincidentally in christchurch as were many other US delegates when the earthquake struck. several congressmen also flew out just before the quake struck.

the admiral interviewed on TV shortly after, described the earthquake in military speak as if launching into a brief for a controlled field exercise before the interviewer abruptly cuts him off:

"..this is a very small and targeted in the area right around christchurch.."

as for the strange earthquake itself, there are a number of possible theories how it eventuated including the arguable cover-up shielded by expertise and uncertainty. could the unthinkable have happened: could the earthquake have been predicted and/or pre-empted? or even controlled?


for HAARP skeptics, there's already a history of man triggering earthquakes through magnanimous intervention. tried and tested methods include nuclear tests, mine blasts AND ELF waves.

in order to implement a desired solution, one needs only to architect the problem transporting it from the theoretical realm to shift into our paradigm. the technology undoubtedly exists to engineer earthquakes. is it possible that the NZ & haiti earthquake[s] are the product of something much larger than the magnetic cycles of the earth causing unfortunately located shallow strike slip epicentres? bottomline: is there motive?

further is the question of what opportunities are created and/or reforms it brings? the why/wherefore?

denver international airport NWO mural: copyright-dmountain.com

the countries all over the map who fall onto the other side of the colour wheel [and enable us to have cheap holidays] will tell us that globalization is no boogeyman. famine, cancer and a myriad of other unnecessary afflictions perpetuate not because they can't be fixed [they are all manufactured] but because not only are they hugely profitable, they also manifest incredible control over large populations to whatever required long-term end [of the philanthropic overlords].

sometimes it's better to work backwards & understand possible objectives to comprehend the related actions, including activation and/or management of such an event. theoretically it's still early days yet UNLESS this is the deployment of a well executed master plan. will the anticipated US led corporate invasion kill NZ with kindness, and if they do would anyone notice or believe?

all warfare is based on deception. hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. hold out baits to entice the enemy. feign disorder, and crush him.

whether this globalization gift to the corporate pack was artificially created or not it won't be passed up. one thing which is certain, nothing will ever be the same again. new zealand's naive years draw to a close. i've no doubt that sooner rather than later our colour code on the hierarchical world map will change. the 50s are dead, long live the 50s.

there's so much we don't know. but we can find out, each and everyone of us. on the flipside there's also an incredible amount of [often overlooked/ridiculed] multi-disciplinary information past & present which together draw a more balanced perspective than any one vehicle. the 20th century scientific age which supplanted one monotheistic view for another has not offered holistic development for humans or our planet. in many ways our worldview has shrunk into a pre-columbus mindset.

"all religion, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree" - albert einstein

we have not been encouraged to think. some who ask questions and strive for knowledge or balance are allegedly being punished. & quietly disappearing. right now. welcome to the police state.

afterword: as i go to "publish post" i see that new zealand's civil defence minister, john carter, has just announced the extension of the national state of emergency & that it is "likely to remain for several more weeks":

"this declaration ensures coordination and cooperation between central and local resources, and international assistance. due to the scale of this disaster, the civil defence response is beyond the resources of the local authority," 

the extent of the damage & the continued aftershocks are the attributed reason for the extension. prime minster, john key assures the public that the national emergency state will allow the greatest coordination of local, national and international resources to work on the recovery and rescue efforts.

according to chinese newspaper reports the civil defence emergency management act requires the declaration to be renewed every seven days. it's something worth waiting for.

the final death toll estimate for the february 22, 2011 earthquake will be about 240 the police say.

and the band played on

the titanic's maiden voyage, 1912. with the tragedy of the ocean liner sinking, the mythology of human omnipotence over the natural world was dealt a savage blow. ultimately the titanic was seen as an impenetrable symbol of man's domain. of the superiority of the west. the inheritance of the disaster was an increased cynicism & ability of the masses to question the status quo & what lay previously in the untouchable realm. despite where they fell in the socio-economic class system.

and the band played on... under the direction of lead violinist wallace hartley following orders from the captain to maintain calm the band in what is now legend, continued to play rousing tunes on deck designed to dissolve panic.

"alexander's ragtime band", and "nearer god to thee" are remembered by survivors. it is still debated what the last song was that the band stalwartly performed before the atlantic ocean swallowed them up. an eerie theme song of death & survival as these heroes played instruments with their last breaths as others surrendered, sliding off the increasingly acute deck & the lucky rest watched on in disbelief from adjacent bobbing lifeboats.

the question i am confronted with now is, were they indeed heroes? did the captain make the best decision in how to crowd control the situation. obviously in hindsight wisdom is cheap & although i have no desire to disrespect their memories, what would have happened if the band had not played on? there are at least two obvious scenarios:

1. absolute mayhem could have occurred & if so, probably less people would have survived in the bedlam which would have occurred to scramble onto the insufficient number of lifeboats which were available. collective panic as evidenced in crushes has often been attributed to deaths in public spaces.

this is a very popular belief which carries across most crowd control models. there's a strong argument for any leader to maintain order in a time of chaos. through whatever means or channels available.

artificial systems break down we are told when there is transparency. but what of natural systems: we are part of the animal kingdom after all, aren't we [we can have this debate later]? do instincts at a time like this prevail? the subconscious can breakthrough social conditioning to enable what we conceive to be superhuman endeavor when uncaged.

scientific research on human behavior & the mass psychology of disasters & emergency evacuations yields often conflicting results. hypotheses of crowd panic have been disproved from case studies including the london bombings which demonstrated that crowd behavior in emergencies is both socially structured and mutual co-operation is the norm rather than exception.

2. george bernard shaw publicly argued after the titanic sinking whether the band playing on gave the people on board a false sense of security ultimately creating an artificial surreality to the scenario. thereby reducing urgency. perhaps more could have survived.

there were arguments at the time over vilified bernard shaw's apparent tastelessness questioning the romantacised vision of leaders' heroism when there were gross oversights in executive decisions which had inevitably led to the disaster.

"Though all the men must be heroes, the Captain must be a super-hero, a magnificent seaman, cool, brave, delighting in death and danger, and a living guarantee that the wreck was nobody's fault, but, on the contrary, a triumph of British navigation." - george bernard shaw, 1912

  
mass panic is potentially a myth. could the common proliferation of such a belief be a subversive method of mind control?

if there's a risk, should the people know? and who makes this decision. we see this moral dilemma increasingly introduced as the hollywood mafia leak these vital themes through disaster/invasion films in the last few years. there's a visible trend. 

let's take 2012.. do the people have a right to know once the few & powerful have scrambled about in order to preserve themselves & in turn what they deem valuable? what if it potentially jeopardises the survival of the species... what would/did noah do?

let's think about this logically. say the world is going to end in 2012: and everyone knows, not just some shadow government types. what do you think that's going to do to the inherent structure of society? not even then when disaster is nigh, what about now?

noone's going to go to work anymore, forget buying the latest gucci sunglasses or upgrading your whiteware... this is going to really hurt the people who sit at the top of the money tree [banks/royals]. mass consumerism of non-essentials will fall into a shallow grave where it rightly belongs & focus will be redirected, en masse. right now the banks theoretically need our money & our fragmented distraction more than ever. for their exit/entry strategy. they're like mercenary, dairy farmers, milking out every last drop.

not only that, the government that you think you voted for will have a revolution on its hands. the illusion of choice will falter. not all of us are going to go & get perpetually stoned or suicidal. although there will be a significant percentage. if you breakdown the control mantra of "conform, obey, consume" something terrible could occur beyond the projected hysteria. people will start to think, and independently work together. who does this NOT benefit?

george orwell's much cited novel, 1984 described a totalitarian society in which government had almost total control over the people. this commentary has become a prophetic bible of benchmark as increasingly our society under the guise of increased freedoms reminiscent of orwellian party slogans "freedom is slavery" is a mirror for that world which we now live in.


in order to cement absolute control, order can be created by the few from chaos. in fact chaos is an effective vehicle in order to exact change & control. david rockefeller apparent author of the new world blueprint is the champion of such a mentality. as is zorg [the fifth element]. personally i prefer both. nataraj is my personal icon. but then i love to dance.


there are many questions & anomalies in this world. a lot does not add up. far-fetched science fiction or not? there is a galactic sized black hole known as black ops in the immense US budget which transcends international boundaries. and that's only the beginning. the rabbit hole runs so very deep into the very fabric of history & our collective concept of news-fed/text book reality forcing us to question everything we think we know.

for example does an organisation like wikileaks actually promote transparency? as it appears to. or is it too an agent of intended chaos creating order to ultimately benefit those we think it is decrying. is it all a well choreographed farce? could julian assange be the puppet of a much more insidious marionette? could my pin-up boy be a wolf in sheep's clothing. or an unwitting pawn...

wikileaks has been connected to globalist george soros, 35th richest man in the world according to forbes list of billionaires. that's quite a patron. a controversial billionaire whose path is one of polarity. is it because he's an atheist, apparently left wing, promotes a war against fox news? we could potentially be best friends & i could certainly use a sugar daddy *cutely waves*. 

so the red flag is that he wants a global financial economy. i've barely got two cents to rub together, so i'm not sure i know what that really means [my uni education is in philosophy, political science & marketing not economics & i never keep receipts] but i can deduce some negative ramifications easily enough. perhaps there are positives for the people too? we know the spin doctors will assure us so. 

the deal breaker would be if he is in bed with the rothschilds & rockefellers sometime figureheads of the so-called 13 families. soros is rumored as being an anti-semitic jew but post world war rumours are cheap & plentiful. if true that would certainly put him in the same ballpark of his filthy rich brethren exploiting their own people with some insidious possibly shared goal. like a new world order. but without scratching the surface there's not enough to surmise. and then the bilderberg connection comes up. oh oh... can you say illuminati without a tom hanks accent?

a likely outcome of the progression of chaos to anarchy through to an eventual reformation of new government systems [perhaps just one] is typically more not less post-governmental control & complete loss of individual liberties. with so many possible agendas & rampant disinformation who can you believe? certainly not politicians. at least we know that much.

if there were answers which would change your reality in an unpleasant way would you want to know or would you prefer to go on eyes wide shut kubrick style & be gently dehumanised [as long as it doesn't hurt]? do you prefer to stay sleeping & not follow neo by taking the red pill & wander into the dark expanse of wonderland. sleep is nice. which colour pill would you take?

this is a serious philosophical question as i consider complete redirection. i've been warned by a close friend that despite a shared belief of our distorted reality, that we make ourselves unnecessary targets in doing so. thereby directly impacting the quality of our lives. 

but only if it's real right? otherwise i'm just another crazy freak. that's OK, i like egg. but if it is real... WHOA, isn't there a compulsion, a moral obligation to do something real in response? at least to investigate what all the fuss is about...

this is an underground conundrum which has affected thousands all over the globe. the zeitgeist speaks despite many of us not being especially expertly qualified to field & spar with skeptics or the establishment. but still there is an increasing sense of urgency, and the need to lend voice. like neo in the matrix we can feel something is not right. regardless of evolutionary opinion, we are animals & our instincts although smothered have been repeatedly demonstrated to have life-saving merit.

what if it were possible to galvanise people to find truth, even a series of truths to break through the enveloping blanket of fear? to bring the many folds into this crowd-sourced cause to uncover perhaps not one truth because like the world there are many which bind us all. in mono-culturism, in one world order: new or old only the hierarchy benefits, before they too ultimately fall. what is mightier than the sword? both the pen AND the sword. words & action rule.

the 2000 cochabamba water wars were an inspiration to people all over the world, not just bolivians, in that seemingly impenetrable corporate greed could be fought & vanquished when the people come together. the world bank still maintains that free access to "a public service like water leads to an abuse of the resource".

a recurrent theme in alien & disaster films is a cause which brings about the unification of people in order to overthrow an oppressor be it a catastrophe natural or otherwise: government, an invader, an idea if its very nature threatens our survival.

can it happen outside of the movies? or a random assortment of web pages on the internet from a mishmash of unlikely satellite characters... is conspiracy theory real?

the greatest attack strategy for the debunkers of conspiracy theory is what it is by definition. and so theoretically the most outlandish & unbelievable is possibly existing right before our very noses, marching proudly in der führer's inherited socks. we don't see the pulsing billboard's fine-print. the message between the lines. what lines?

propaganda really works. ask leni riefenstahl. we love big brother. the system protects us, the lambs' shepherd. yes, i would like fries with that, thanks for asking.


can purpose-filled revolution have the longevity & ability to maintain controlled focus outside of a burgeoning mob mentality after the initial shock subsides. to then perhaps supplant old leaders with new wolves in sheep's clothing or otherwise become once more corrupted by an archaic system in a hopeless cycle of rinse repeat? do the people ever really win?

ten years on, the people of cochabamba are still hungry, thirsty and poor. the infrastructure, or the lack of it afterwards failed them & the disparity between the haves & have nots continues.

they were not equipped to follow through. they did successfully demonstrate the ability to organise themselves, effectively resist oppression & to overcome fear and in doing so offer a beacon of hope to those still trapped within the status quo. but was it only allowed to happen because the big long-term picture was apparent to the power brokers? is anything as it seems?


sounds pretty hard. would we rather stick our heads back into the liquefied sand & numbly follow the signs, fix the fence, work for the man, pay the mortgage, gleefully take that three week holiday once a year, eventually succumbing to profitable [for some] pharmaceutically & engineered cancers whilst ignoring the underlying meaning of it all.

if any of this was even true how could it possibly be combated? all that power controlling flow of communications, money, information in the world. a david & goliath scenario with much worse stacked odds. i only hope that right now the NSA are sorting out my accounts [you might want to keep that IOU -- it's for a ferrari].

what kind of heroes does this world need? isn't the greater good as deemed by aristotle still greater than the individual, the common good, the polis, or was he being pimped out too... could all our voices together bleed into one super-sized spandex suit? service to others not self: is this too a programmable trait or closer to what could be the beauty or the essence of humanity, if we can even know who or what we truly are. 

or should we just mindlessly keep dancing to the beat of "nearer god to thee" & let the ship slowly sink?
