<p>I may be jeopardizing this blog to bring you information that you won&#8217;t read on any government site, so be it! This is important information that we all need to know.</p>
<p><strong>Cannabis Best Medicine </strong></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know of any conspiracy to make Cannabis illegal because it is the best medicine for Swine Flu, if this were the case it must have been known many years ago that flu would be used as a depopulation tool, which doesn&#8217;t  seem plausible. However we know now&#8230;and governments aren&#8217;t interested.</p>
<p><strong>Follow the Recipe </strong></p>
<p>The recipe below for <em>Cayenne Tincture</em> can also be followed using Cannabis plant material. The only way that you will be able to obtain Cannabis tincture at the moment is by prescription, but often this is synthetic and un-helpful, as the plant works synergistically while synthesized drugs do not.</p>
<p><em>Use the two herbs together for an enhanced effect </em>&#8230;</p>
<p>The answer is to <strong>grow it yoursel</strong>f. There are reams of instructions on the web which explain how to grow it. Unfortunately most sites suggest smoking the herb.<em><strong> I do not recommend this</strong></em>. Any inhalation of any smoke includes tar and any tar is carcinogenic to the lungs.</p>
<p>You have time before the virus is mutated to cause death, use it wisely.</p>
<p><strong>Cayenne, Chillies, Bright Red Dried Pods&#8230;.Powder known a Cayenne Pepper</strong></p>
<p>This is the purest and safest stimulant known. It opens up every tissue in the body to an increased supply of oxygenated blood.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Home Tincture </strong></li>
<li>1 oz bruised chillies or other herb</li>
<li>half litre 60% alcohol (Vodka etc.)</li>
<li>Macerate (Leave to soak) 7 days</li>
<li>Shake daily</li>
<li>Decant into smaller bottles</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Dose:</strong></p>
<p>2 or more teaspoons in wineglass of water&#8230;1 -2 drops of the tincture <em><strong>enhances the action </strong></em>of most herbal preparations and may be taken in teas or other beverages for cold hands and feet.</p>

Reports on Prospective Life Saving Treatments for H1N1 Swine Flu and H5N1 Bird Flu in View of the Current Global Threat</strong></p>
<p>SAN FRANCISCO&#8211;(BUSINESS WIRE)&#8211;Cannabis Science Inc. (OTCBB: <a href="http://ca.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GFON.OB">GFON.OB</a>), an emerging pharmaceutical cannabis        company, reported today on the current state of development of its        whole-cannabis lozenge in response to Homeland Security Administration        Secretary Janet Napolitano’s declaration of a public health emergency to        deal with the emerging Swine Flu pandemic. The Company’s non-toxic        lozenge has properties that could alleviate many of the symptoms and        harmful effects of the H5N1 bird flu and H1N1 swine flu viruses, and has        offered its assistance to HSA today in a letter to Secretary Napolitano.</p>
<p>Cannabis Science Inc., President &amp; CEO, Steven W. Kubby said, &#8220;We have        the science and preliminary anecdotal results confirming the        anti-inflammatory properties of our new lozenges and indicating they may        present an effective and non-toxic treatment for minimizing the symptoms        and harm from influenza infections. Our lozenges appear to down-regulate        the body&#8217;s excessive inflammatory response to the influenza virus, which        could reduce the deadly consequences of an infection into something that        is more like a common cold. Because of my cancer and diminished        auto-immune functions, even common influenza is a deadly threat, and        I’ve had incredible symptomatic relief with the lozenge.”</p>
<p>Dr. Robert J. Melamede, Director and Chief Science Officer, stated, &#8220;The        influenza virus has a unique genetic make up that, in combination with        its replicative machinery, has an extraordinary capacity to mutate. As a        result, the high lethality of some strains can be attributed to the        resulting adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ARDS is caused by        an excessive immune inflammatory response driven by Tumor Necrosis        Factor (TNF) that leads to the death of respiratory epithelial cells and        resulting organ failure. Endocannabinoids are nature’s way of        controlling TNF activity. Existing peer reviewed publications have shown        that phytocannabinoids can prevent this cell death by mimicking the        endocannabinoids that nature has selected to prevent excessive        inflammatory immune responses.”</p>
<p>Dr. Melamede, who is also a researcher and past Chairman of the Biology        Department at the University of Colorado Springs (UCCS), cautioned,        “Smoked marijuana will not effectively prevent the excessive        inflammatory response, despite delivering the beneficial pharmacological        agents, due to the irritating, pro-inflammatory nature of smoke. In        fact, I believe it will make things worse and should be avoided by        infected individuals.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr. Kubby added, “If a swine or bird flu pandemic emerges &#8212; and        everyone seems to think that it is just a matter of when, not if &#8211;,        there is simply no time for the usual bureaucratic process. With        emergency government approval, we can legally access the huge supply of        medical cannabis available in California to produce millions of life        saving doses within a relatively short period of time.”</p>
<p>Dr. Melamede furthermore stated, &#8220;Based upon recent discoveries        regarding the role that endocannabinoid system plays in maintaining        human health, we have a unique solution to the looming threat posed by        deadly influenza strains that we believe, if implemented,<em> could save        millions of lives.</em> We will strive for an emergency review of our        cannabis extract-based lozenge because we believe its availability will        prevent many of the deaths associated with the hyper-inflammatory        response associated with known lethal strains of the influenza virus.</p>
<p>Current anti-influenza medications have a demonstrated decreased        effectiveness against some of these lethal variants. Mankind cannot wait        for the emergency situation to materialize. We must be proactive in        gaining the necessary governmental approvals to test, and pending the        outcome of our studies, produce our lozenge.”</p>
<p>Mr. Richard Cowan, Director and CFO, who recently spoke in Mexico City        to a conference sponsored by the Mexican Congress, stated, “I believe        the Mexican Congress recognizes that doctors should be able to prescribe        medical cannabis. We are prepared to work with the government of Mexico        to produce similar medical cannabis products to help fight the outbreak        there. We look forward to working with Government officials, including        Homeland Security, to help advance our treatments for these outbreaks in        Mexico, Canada, the USA, and around the world.”</p>
<p><em><strong>About the H5N1 Bird Flu and H1N1 Swine Flu Strains</strong></em></p>
<p>The H5N1 bird flu currently has 63% lethality. A swine-derived H1N1        strain was responsible for 20,000,000 influenza associated deaths in        1918 (more than killed by World War I). The current lethal outbreak of        swine flu (H1N1) in Mexico has killed over 80 people and infected more        than 1,400 others. There are 20 confirmed cases in the United States,        with reports of infections in Texas, New York, Ohio, California and        Kansas. Additional reports identify possible cases in New Zealand,        Canada, Spain, France and Israel. The H1N1 Swine flu is a porcine        respiratory disease caused by type A flu viruses. Human cases occur in        people who are around pigs, but an infected person can transmit the        disease to another person. Symptoms include a high fever, body aches,        coughing, sore throat and respiratory congestion.</p>

<p>Our product, broadly described, is medical cannabis – a term which encompasses a wide variety of products, ranging from plants grown by patients for their own use to pharmaceutical products developed from one or more of the cannabinoid compounds found in the whole cannabis plant.</p>
<p>Cannabinoids are a group of terpenophenolic compounds present in Cannabis (Cannabis sativa L). Currently, 538 natural compounds were identiﬁed from this plant. 43 of these 108 are identiﬁed as cannabinoids, which are C21 compounds uniquely present in Cannabis sativa L. There are ten main types of cannabinoids and fourteen different cannabinoid subtypes. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the principal psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, but it also has other effects. Cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabinol (CBN) are the other two most prevalent natural cannabinoids and have received the most study. All three are listed as ingredients in Sativex®, the only multi-cannabinoid medicine currently approved for marketing (only in Canada.)</p>
<p>Cannabinoids were first discovered in the 1940s, when CBD and CBN were identified. THC was not identified until 1964, but by that time cannabis had been removed from the pharmacopeiae of most countries, making further research on the plant difficult.</p>
<p>There are three general types of cannabinoids:</p>
<p><span class="number">1</span>	Phytocannabinoids occur uniquely in the cannabis plant.</p>
<p><span class="number">2</span>	Endogenous cannabinoids are produced in the bodies of humans and other animals.</p>
<p><span class="number">3</span> Synthetic cannabinoids are similar compounds produced in a laboratory. Forms of synthetic THC are available by prescription in a number of countries, including the US. In the US, synthetic THC is marketed as Marinol®.</p>
<p>Phytocannabinoids, also called natural cannabinoids, herbal cannabinoids, and classical cannabinoids, are only known to occur naturally in significant quantity in the cannabis plant. They are concentrated in a viscous resin that is produced in glandular structures known as trichomes, and are most prevalent in the flowers of the female plants.</p>
<p>Cannabinoid receptors in the human body were not discovered until 1990. CB1 receptors are found primarily in the brain, specifically in the basal ganglia and in the limbic system, including the hippocampus. They are also found in the cerebellum and in both male and female reproductive systems.</p>
<p>CB1 receptors appear to be responsible for the euphoric and anti-convulsive effects of cannabis.</p>
<p>Cannabinoid pharmaceuticals, unlike many other pharmaceutical compounds, do not represent a risk factor for respiratory or cardiovascular failure. Cannabis has been called one of the safest drugs known by Federal Judge Young in 1977. In fact, there is no known lethal dose of cannabis. It has an estimated therapeutic index of 40,000 to one as compared to aspirin with a therapeutic index of 15.</p>
<p>CB2 receptors are found almost exclusively in the immune system, with the greatest density in the spleen. CB2 receptors appear to be responsible for the anti-inflammatory and possibly other therapeutic effects of cannabis.</p>
<p>The endocannabinoid system refers to a group of neuromodulators and receptors involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain sensation, mood, and memory. The system is named for endocannabinoids, the endogenous lipids that bind cannabinoid receptors (the same receptors that mediate the psychoactive effects of cannabis).</p>
<p>Science increasingly recognizes the role that endo-cannabinoids play in almost every major life function in the human body. Cannabinoids act as a bio regulatory mechanism for most life processes, which explains why medical cannabis has been recommended as a treatment for many diseases and ailments in anecdotal reports and scientific literature. Some of these ailments include: Pain, arthritic conditions, migraine headaches, anxiety, epileptic seizures, insomnia, loss of appetite, GERD (chronic heartburn), nausea, glaucoma, AIDS wasting syndrome, depression, bipolar disorder (particularly depression-manic-normal), multiple sclerosis, menstrual cramps, Parkinson&#8217;s, trigeminal neuralgia (tic douloureux), high blood pressure, irritable bowel syndrome, and bladder incontinence.</p>
<p>Cannabis has been used medicinally for thousands of years in China, India and the Middle East. Of course, most traditional medicines were plant-based, but until recently no one knew how or why they worked. Modern science now routinely verifies the efficacy of this “folk medicine” tradition and the door is opening to a more systematic and effective use of cannabinoid therapies.</p>
<p>While cannabis was widely used in the West during the 19th century, the technology was lacking to detect and understand its active ingredients, to standardize dosages of those ingredients, and to effectively deliver those ingredients, owing largely to cannabis&#8217;s non-water-solubility. Consequently, it became less widely used in the early 20th century and was eventually renamed “marijuana” and banned as part of a politically-driven prohibition craze. It was gradually removed from the pharmacopeiae of most advanced countries; research was discouraged, and when beneficial results were discovered, the studies were sometimes suppressed.</p>
<p>For example, when Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) was recently diagnosed recently with a form of brain cancer, malignant glioma, the media largely ignored reports from the medical cannabis community of studies showing that cannabinoids can kill glioma cancer cells.</p>
<p>Nearly a decade ago, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws&#8217; weekly news release for December 31, 1998 reported that “Cell studies performed by researchers at Madrid’s Universidad Complutense demonstrate that THC, one of the active compounds in marijuana, can induce cell death in certain brain tumor cells without affecting the surrounding healthy cells.”</p>
<p>Dr. Franjo Grotenhermen of the German-based Association for Cannabis as Medicine (ACM) proposed that marijuana’s constituents may one day play a role in cancer treatment. &#8220;It is desirable to have a substance that induces programmed cell death in tumor cells but not in health cells for the treatment of cancer,&#8221; he wrote in the December 13 issue of the ACM-Bulletin. &#8220;It has been demonstrated by the Spanish scientists &#8230; that THC could be such a substance.</p>
<p><strong>Known Facts about Tamiflu and Donald Rumsfeld</strong>In October 2005 the Pentagon ordered vaccination of all US military personnel worldwide against what it called Avian Flu, H5N1. Scare stories filled world media. Then, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announced he had budgeted more than $1 billion to stockpile the vaccine, Oseltamivir sold under the name, Tamiflu. President Bush called on Congress to appropriate another $2 billion for Tamiflu stocks.</p>
<p>What Rumsfeld neglected to report at the time was a colossal conflict of interest. Prior to coming to Washington in January 2001, Rumsfeld had been chairman of a California pharmaceutical company, Gilead Sciences.</p>
<p>Gilead Sciences held exclusive world patent rights to Tamiflu, a drug it had developed and whose world marketing rights were sold to the Swiss pharma giant, Roche. Rumsfeld was reportedly the largest stock holder in Gilead which got 10% of every Tamiflu dose Roche sold.<br />
* When it leaked out, the Pentagon issued a curt statement to the effect that Secretary Rumsfeld had decided not to sell but to retain his stock in Gilead, claiming that to sell would have indicated something to hide. That agonizing decision won him reported added millions as the Gilead share price soared more than 700% in weeks.<br />
<strong> Known Side-Effects</strong></p>
<p>Tamiflu is no mild candy to be taken lightly. It has heavy side effects. It contains matter that could have potentially deadly consequences for a person&#8217;s breathing and often reportedly leads to nausea, dizziness and other flu-like symptoms. (It causes flu symptoms!!!)<br />
Since the outbreak of Swine Flu Panic (not Swine Flu but Swine Flu Panic) sales of Tamiflu as well as any and every possible drug marketed as flu related have exploded. Wall Street firms have rushed to issue buy recommendations for the company.</p>
<p>I will not be persuaded to trust myself with any product associated with this man and his corporation, and now that you have the facts you too have a choice.</p>

<p>There are other easily obtained Immune Enhancing herbs which can be used to boost your immunity so that it is less likely that you will succumb to any of the influenzas. They are the common black Elderberry and some mushrooms found in our native woodland. All can be made into tinctures and taken with other fluids.</p>

Many other countries are suffering too, but we must listen to the BBC because they are impartial and tell it like it is.</p>
<p>They continue to fulfill their roll as  apologists for anthropogenic (human made) global warming.</p>
<p>Those that believe and follow the high priest Al Gore have been dubbed  &#8216;Gorebots&#8217;, they hang on to their programming in an effort to convince themselves that they are right, as it would be too painful to admit that there are governments that might not have their best interests at heart.</p>
<p>Whilst <em>I</em> may agree with the following article, which is succinctly written and factual, follow up with your own research, dig a little deeper and you will soon find out who benefits from persuading huge swathes of population to follow their leaders.</p>

<p><strong>Written by Ed Hiserodt published in &#8216;<a href="http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech-mainmenu-30/environment/759#" title="Watever Happened to Global Warming">The New American</a>&#8216;<br />

<p>Now that record-cold temperatures across the globe are making a mockery of human-caused global warming, we look to see if this is merely a &#8220;weather hiccup.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><em>Judge:</em></strong><em> Counselor, do you have anything to say before I pronounce sentence on the accused?</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Attorney:</strong> Yes, your honor. Might I remind you that the victim my client was accused of murdering showed up earlier and is very much alive, sitting there in the front row?</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Judge:</strong> Sir, this court does not deal in trivialities.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Attorney:</strong> But your honor, I&#8217;d respectfully suggest that since there is no victim, there has been no crime and my client is obviously innocent.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Judge:</strong> Counselor, you are very close to being in contempt of this court. I am the one who determines guilt or innocence here and your client is going to hang.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Attorney:</strong> But judge &#8230;</em></p>
<p>In 1970, I recall New Orleans schoolchildren taking a 185-mile field trip to Jackson, Mississippi, so students might experience something they had never seen before: snow. This year they didn&#8217;t have to bother, as Southern Louisiana was blanketed with four inches of the white stuff, the first major snow in 45 years, and only two inches shy of the all-time record of six inches set in 1895. It was also the earliest snow since record keeping began in 1850.</p>
<p>Not to be outdone, Las Vegas checked in with what local meteorologist Jerome Jacquest said was the most snow since 1979. With no snow removal or de-icing equipment, the airport was closed along with most roads. Gambling, however, was not affected.</p>
<p>Snow wasn&#8217;t the only problem. Freezing temperatures in Denver set a new low of minus 18, eclipsing a record from 1901. White Sulfur Springs, Montana, reported 29 below, shredding the previous record mark of minus 17, set in 1922. For the week of December 15, 2008 alone, HAM Weather Service reports 1,537 record low temperatures in the United States and 1,110 record snowfalls — not exactly what one would expect while on the way to climate catastrophe owing to global warming.</p>
<p>Weather watchers know this isn&#8217;t just an anomaly or freak occurrence. For the past 10 years, the summers have been cooler and the winters more severe. In Little Rock, for example, a chart in the newspaper shows there have been five consecutive months with average temperatures below normal. Since Little Rock is situated near the geographical center of the country, one would suspect that this is not an unusual condition, and indeed, such a suspicion is borne out by satellite measurements that cover the entire globe and are not subject to the &#8220;urban heat island&#8221; effect that has been shown to add as much as 10°F to recording stations in urban areas as compared to rural counterparts. An NBC crew sent out to show the Northwest Passage was ice free had their icebreaker stranded for three weeks because of thick ice.</p>
<p>With such obvious disputations of &#8220;global warming,&#8221; one might also suspect that the convictions of some honest, objective members of the weather establishment would begin to waver — after seeing the victim alive and sitting in the courtroom.</p>
<p><strong>Tip of the Iceberg</strong></p>
<p>And in fact, it is apparent that more than just a few experts are wavering. When the news was reported of a British court announcing that Al Gore&#8217;s <em>An Inconvenient Truth</em> was unfit for school &#8220;because it is politically biased and contains scientific inaccuracies and sentimental mush,&#8221; CNN meteorologist Rob Marciano — who was off-camera preparing to give the weather report — applauded and said, &#8220;Finally, finally!&#8221; He was particularly incensed that Gore blamed Hurricane Katrina on anthropogenic (human-caused) global warming (AGW). During the period of December marked by low temperatures, mentioned above, CNN severe-weather expert Chad Meyer commented during <em>Lou Dobbs Tonight</em>, &#8220;You know, to think we could affect weather all that much is pretty arrogant.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a July 18, 2008 widely circulated article entitled &#8220;No Smoking Hot Spot,&#8221; Australian Greenhouse Office scientist David Evans came out of the global-warming skeptics&#8217; closet. Although having written the carbon accounting model used to measure Australia&#8217;s compliance with the Kyoto Protocol, Evans was wrestling with a problem: <em>the greenhouse-gas signature is missing</em>. If CO<sub>2</sub> is the cause of global warming, then it must be absorbing solar energy and warming the air, which in turn warms the surface. Both alarmists and skeptics agree that all models predict a &#8220;hot spot&#8221; at 10 kilometers above the tropics. But there is no such hot spot. Quoting Evans:</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px">We have been measuring the atmosphere for decades using radiosondes — weather balloons with thermometers that radio back the temperature as the balloon ascends through the atmosphere. They show no hot spot. Whatsoever. If there is no hot spot, then an increased greenhouse effect is not the cause of global warming. So we know for sure that carbon emissions are not a significant cause of the global warming. If we had found the greenhouse signature, then I would be an alarmist again.</p>
<p><strong>The Rest of the Iceberg</strong></p>
<p>A U.S. Senate minority report entitled <em>More Than 650 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims</em>, subtitled <em>Scientists Continue to Debunk &#8220;Consensus&#8221; in 2008</em>, was released on December 11, 2008. [The U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works has made available a downloadable PDF of the full report at their minority website <a href="http://epw.senate.gov/minority/" target="_blank">http://epw.senate.gov/minority/</a>. Click on "White Papers and Reports"; the PDF is listed as "Senate Minority Report 2."] These 650 dissenting scientists are more than 12 times the 52 government-supported scientists who gave us the 2007 Summary for Policy Makers — the abbreviated version of the climate assessment by the UN&#8217;s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) — to which the major media looks adoringly for news about global warming. (There were, however, diplomats from 115 countries aiding the IPCC, making sure the warnings produced the greatest gloom and fear.)</p>
<p>The Senate report includes names, biographies, academic institutional affiliations, and quotes from hundreds of international scientists who have publicly dissented against man-made climate fears. Here are a few condensed remarks typical of the group as a whole:</p>
<p>• &#8220;I am a skeptic&#8230;. Global warming has become a new religion.&#8221; — Nobel Prize winner for Physics, Ivar Giaever.</p>
<p>• &#8220;Since I am no longer affiliated with any organization nor receiving any funding, I can speak quite frankly&#8230;. As a scientist I remain skeptical&#8230;. The main basis of the claim that man&#8217;s release of greenhouse gases is the cause of the warming is based almost entirely upon climate models. We all know the frailty of models concerning the air-surface system.&#8221; — Atmospheric scientist Dr. Joanne Simpson, the first woman in the world to receive a Ph.D. in meteorology, and formerly of NASA, who has authored more than 190 studies and has been named &#8220;among the most preeminent scientists of the last 100 years.&#8221;</p>
<p>• Warming fears are the &#8220;worst scientific scandal in &#8230; history&#8230;. When people come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists.&#8221; — UN IPCC Japanese scientist Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning Ph.D. environmental physical chemist.</p>
<p>• &#8220;The IPCC has actually become a closed circuit; it doesn&#8217;t listen to others. It doesn&#8217;t have open minds&#8230;. I am really amazed that the Nobel Peace Prize has been given on scientifically incorrect conclusions by people who are not geologists.&#8221; — Indian geologist Dr. Arun D. Ahluwalia of Punjab University, a board member of the UN-supported International Year of the Planet.</p>
<p>• &#8220;So far, real measurements give no ground for concern about a catastrophic future warming.&#8221; — Scientist Dr. Jarl R. Ahlbeck, a chemical engineer at Abo Akademi University in Finland, author of 200 scientific publications, and former Greenpeace member.</p>
<p>• &#8220;Anyone who claims that the debate is over and the conclusions are firm has a fundamentally unscientific approach to one of the most momentous issues of our time.&#8221; — Solar physicist Dr. Pal Brekke, senior adviser to the Norwegian Space Centre in Oslo. Brekke has published more than 40 peer-reviewed scientific articles on the sun and solar interaction with the Earth.</p>
<p>• &#8220;It is a blatant lie put forth in the media that makes it seem there is only a fringe of scientists who don&#8217;t buy into anthropogenic global warming.&#8221; — U.S. Government atmospheric scientist Stanley B. Goldenberg of the Hurricane Research Division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.</p>
<p>• &#8220;For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming? For how many years must cooling go on?&#8221; — Geologist Dr. David Gee, the chairman of the science committee of the 2008 International Geological Congress who has authored 130-plus peer-reviewed papers, and is currently at Uppsala University in Sweden.</p>
<p>• &#8220;The &#8216;global warming scare&#8217; is being used as a political tool to increase government control over American lives, incomes and decision making. It has no place in the Society&#8217;s activities.&#8221; — Award-winning NASA astronaut/geologist and moonwalker Jack Schmitt, who flew on the Apollo 17 mission and is formerly of the Norwegian Geological Survey and the U.S. Geological Survey.</p>
<p><strong>International Panel on Climate Change</strong></p>
<p>The IPCC, the entity that has generated the go-to documents that politicians and most media turn to for global-warming proclamations, doesn&#8217;t have the credibility of the dissenters. The IPCC was formed in 1988 by the United Nations and the World Meteorological Organization. It is a single-purpose, single-interest organization. The entire reason for the IPCC&#8217;s being is to provide evidence for anthropogenic global warming. Had it not been for the IPCC&#8217;s activities, it is unlikely you would have ever heard the terms &#8220;global warming&#8221; or &#8220;climate change.&#8221;</p>
<p>The IPCC has issued four &#8220;assessments&#8221; about the likelihood of AGW — in 1991, 1996, 2001, and 2007 — and the likely effects around the world should catastrophic warming occur. These assessments are typically 800 pages or so in length and (except for the last one) without indices, making them virtually worthless for any but the most dedicated reader. But one might not bother reading them anyway, as the importance of the reports is completely eclipsed by the &#8220;Summary for Policy Makers&#8221; (SPM) — or as some would suggest, Summary <em>by</em> Policy Makers. This document is what is released to the media and, as we shall see, is often quite different from the report itself.</p>
<p>Let us look at how the IPCC &#8220;Summary for Policy Makers&#8221; handled the assessments written by committees of scientists. The following are statements from the original document of the second IPCC report (1996), which had been approved by the scientific writers&#8217; committees. The first statement says: &#8220;None of the studies cited above has shown clear evidence that we can attribute the observed (climate) changes to the specific cause of increases in greenhouse gases.&#8221;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s pretty clear, so how about this one: &#8220;No study to date has positively attributed all or part (of climate change observed to date) to anthropogenic (manmade) causes.&#8221;</p>
<p>There&#8217;s not any waffling there, so let&#8217;s look at one more: &#8220;Any claims of positive change of significant climate change are likely to remain controversial until uncertainties in the total nature variability of the climate system are reduced.&#8221;</p>
<p>As Al Gore would say, that is &#8220;UN-EE-QUIV-o-cal.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yet the three statements above were removed by the political influences, and in their place was substituted: &#8220;The balance of evidence suggests a discernible human influence on global climate.&#8221;</p>
<p>The late Professor Frederick Seitz, the former president of the National Academy of Sciences, in a June 12, 1996 letter to the <em>Wall Street Journal</em>, accused the IPCC of censoring the scientific content of the assessment report to agree with a position favored by bureaucrats, governments, and NGOs. Said Seitz: &#8220;I have never witnessed a more disturbing corruption of the re-review process than the events that led to this IPCC report.&#8221;</p>
<p>The bias of the IPCC was established by the lead editor of the first three IPCC reports, Sir John Houghton, who set the tone for the organization with the statement, &#8220;Unless we announce disaster, no one will listen.&#8221; If you&#8217;ve been hired by the United Nations to provide evidence of global warming, you can&#8217;t be pussyfooting around with statements that suggest it is not only unproven but well might not be happening at all. One is certainly comforted by such objectivity.</p>
<p><strong>The IPCC and the Temperature Record</strong></p>
<p>There is general agreement that the last ice age ended about 12,000 years ago. With the temperature some 20°F below today&#8217;s norms and continuing that way for about 100,000 years, some 400 feet of the oceans&#8217; depth evaporated, fell as snow, was compressed into ice and covered the Northern United States to an estimated depth of one mile. With intermittent backslides and pauses, the Earth has generally been warming since that time. Yet the warming alarmists would have us believe that the warming that we have experienced recently is unprecedented, human-caused, and likely catastrophic. Oh really?</p>
<p>About 7,000 years ago, a warm period known as the Holocene Optimum coincided with the time that agriculture arose worldwide that, in turn, ushered in the Bronze Age. It is a period the IPCC simply ignores, as temperatures then were much warmer than their worst predictions under CO2-generated warming, yet catastrophe did not ensue. Polar bears had been around for the previous 190,000 years and survived the Holocene Optimum quite nicely, thank you very much.</p>
<p>After a few ups and downs, another warm period called the Roman Optimum is considered by historians to be a large factor in the rise of the Roman civilization, as society had the ability to produce more food than required to sustain the farmers, thus allowing others to construct the infrastructure of roads, buildings, and aqueducts upon which the empire was built. The Dark Ages, on the other hand, may not have been dark, but they were cold.</p>
<p>Then warmth came back in the form of what we call the Medieval Warm Period in about 950 A.D., known by historians as the Age of the Cathedrals. The Medieval Warm Period presents problems for alarmists because it can&#8217;t be simply ignored. It is easy to prove that it was warmer than today. Not only do temperature proxies such as ice cores show it, but the flourishing Viking civilization on Greenland confirms it. Land that today is frozen solid then supported cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats for the &#8220;settlers.&#8221;</p>
<p>Existence of the Greenland civilization is a source of embarrassment to the global warmers as it leads to a logical inconsistency:</p>
<p>Q. Was Greenland warmer during the period 950 A.D. to 1450 A.D. than it is today?</p>
<p>A. Without question. Crops and pastures were grown where today is permanently frozen ground.</p>
<p>Q. Could this be a localized temperature anomaly?</p>
<p>A. Only if such an anomaly can stay around for approximately 500 years.</p>
<p>Q. Were port cities such as London and Venice flooded by high sea levels during this period of high temperatures — temperatures several degrees higher than today?</p>
<p>A. No. [The Tower of London was built in 1078 A.D. on the north bank of the River Thames, a few feet above the high tide mark. Today it remains a few feet above the high tide mark.]</p>
<p>Q. So why would one expect them to be flooded today if temperatures rose considerably, to the level that would allow agriculture again in Greenland?</p>
<p>A. Duh. Because Al Gore said so?</p>
<p>Sadly for our ancestors, the warm climate didn&#8217;t last. Europe experienced a prolonged cold, wet spell, causing crop failures and famine. Always being on the verge of starvation resulted in a general weakness that is thought to have prolonged and exacerbated the &#8220;black death,&#8221; which killed approximately half of Europe&#8217;s population. This cool period — from which many climatologists consider the Earth to be still emerging — is known as the Little Ice Age. It too is a difficult period to explain away, as there are records of &#8220;frost fairs&#8221; on the Thames in London from the early 1600s to 1814, with ice on the order of 11 inches thick supporting tents, wagons, and even a visiting elephant. Since temperatures obviously have been increasing for several hundred years, is it so unusual for them to still be increasing? (Except that they&#8217;re not.)</p>
<p>In North America the weather was cold enough for New York harbor to freeze so that one could walk from Manhattan to Staten Island. During the Civil War, army reports indicated that in Little Rock, for several weeks each year, wagon teams could cross the iced-over Arkansas River, something no one alive today has ever seen.</p>
<p>The period between about 1645 and 1715 was particularly cold and coincides with the Maunder Minimum, where only about 50 sunspots appeared, compared to an expectation of from 40,000 to 50,000. (More sunspots mean greater solar activity. See sidebar on page 16.)</p>
<p>Summing up, the Medieval Warm Period was far warmer than the temperatures global-warming alarmists expect us to reach, without any of the catastrophes predicted by alarmists, and the Little Ice Age clearly shows that Earth had a cold spell from which it has been warming for some 200 years, benefiting plant, animal, and human existence on Earth. Enter the &#8220;hockey stick.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>The Hockey Stick</strong></p>
<p>The term &#8220;hockey stick&#8221; refers to the shape of a 1998 graph of temperature versus time as displayed by global warmers Michael Mann, Raymond Bradley, and Malcom Hughes. It performs several amazing functions for the alarmists, namely:</p>
<p>• Eliminates the Medieval Warm Period;</p>
<p>• Eliminates the Little Ice Age; and</p>
<p>• Shows recent temperatures to be rising catastrophically.</p>
<p>It was a blessing for the IPCC and, according to Christopher Monckton — writer and producer of the informative and entertaining video <em>Apocalypse? NO!</em> [<em>Apocalypse? NO!</em> is available from the Science &amp; Public Policy Institute, <a href="http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/" target="_blank">http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/</a>.] — the hockey stick was used in full color no fewer than six times in the 2001 IPCC assessment report.</p>
<p>Unfortunately for Mann et al., two Canadians were suspicious of their results and finally were able to obtain sufficient information to challenge the methodology that produced the &#8220;convenient&#8221; graph. Businessman Steven McIntyre and economist Ross McKitrick examined the construction and use of the data set of proxies for past climate that Mann had used to estimate the temperature from 1400 to 1980 and found collation errors, unjustified truncation and extrapolation, use of obsolete data, and calculation mistakes.</p>
<p>Global alarmists challenged the challengers, and the matter was taken to the Academy of Sciences and to a panel headed by Edward Wegman of George Mason University, commissioned by the U.S. Congress. Both referees found in favor of McIntyre over Mann. The Wegman panel fully endorsed the findings of McIntyre and McKitrick. &#8220;The NAS panel,&#8221; as Christopher Horner puts it in <em>The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming</em>, &#8220;specifically repudiated three-fourths of Mann&#8217;s record, specifically accused the IPCC of misrepresentation, and specifically accused the Mann team of down-playing historical uncertainties.&#8221; Nonetheless, the once-proud and respected <em>Nature</em> magazine brazenly opined, &#8220;Academy affirms hockey-stick graph.&#8221;</p>
<p>All of these investigations had been completed and were well known by early summer of 2006. Nonetheless, Gore&#8217;s <em>An Inconvenient Truth</em>, not released until late November 2006, used the hockey stick as the centerpiece of his argument.</p>
<p><strong>Goodbye Free-market Capitalism</strong></p>
<p>If the IPCC and internationalists everywhere were content to let global warming remain an object of discussion and monitoring, its pronouncements would likely inspire the same type of humor as that elicited by an eccentric old uncle who tells about inventing the light bulb and sailing on the <em>Titanic</em>, but such is not the case. They want (demand) worldwide changes &#8211; decreasing levels of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions through a worldwide cap-and-trade system for CO<sub>2</sub>. It is difficult to imagine any policy more destructive to our economy than &#8220;cap and trade.&#8221; Today&#8217;s bailouts are horrid and give government an equity stake in businesses — about as socialist as you can get. But &#8220;cap and trade&#8221; would gut the very system that has made the United States the wealthiest country in the world.</p>
<p>While there are a number of plans under discussion, most have the same basic elements:</p>
<p>• The government, or governments, would issue &#8220;carbon certificates&#8221; allowing a commercial or industrial user to consume a specified amount of carbon-based fuel. [Programs to extend this to individuals are already well underway in EU countries.] The total amount would be <em>less than the currently used amount</em>, making these instruments instantly valuable. If, for example, a manufacturer desired to expand or continue production (since the number of existing credits would be continually reduced to meet some Kyoto-type protocol), he would be required to purchase them from another manufacturer or on &#8220;the open market.&#8221;</p>
<p>• The &#8220;open market&#8221; — the reason Ken Lay and Enron were such fans of global-warming alarmism — could be anywhere in the world. A self-coronated potentate from Cowabunga, Africa, might sell the credits he is given by an international body for <em>not</em> destroying a rain forest (formerly known as a jungle) to an American entrepreneur who wanted to open a shoestring repair business. Or an up-and-coming corporate executive might see a huge profit from moving his manufacturing plant to a Third World country (with no carbon certificate requirements), benefiting nicely from sales of the carbon credits obtained by closing his U.S.-based manufacturing plant.</p>
<p>The possibilities for corruption are endless. It would make all U.S. enterprises beggars to controllers of the carbon-credit apparatus. Carbon producers would become de jure criminals, and de facto criminals would become rich and powerful. Competition for the ever-decreasing credits would increase their value and the power the issuers had over our entire energy-dependent economy.</p>
<p><strong>But in Our Arsenal &#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Saving the day may be a new organization, the NIPCC — the NON-Governmental International Panel on Climate Change. It has hundreds of scientists with varying backgrounds to show its objectivity. With bulldog Dr. S. Fred Singer at the helm, one should feel confident that the position of skeptics to climatic catastrophe will be well upheld.</p>
<p>Underpinning the global realism rebellion is the Petition Project of the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine. Now with signed petitions from over 31,000 scientists with a minimum of a bachelor&#8217;s degree, but including over 9,000 Ph.D.s, it is a force to be reckoned with now and in the future as the battle lines are drawn between skeptics and alarmists.

<p>If you want to hear from the finest minds on the subject of climate change, you should hurry to make reservations for the 2009 International Conference on Climate Change sponsored by the Heartland Institute in New York City on March 8-10.

<p><strong>Humor: Bane of the Absurd</strong></p>
<p>More and more people worldwide are asking, &#8220;Hey, I&#8217;m freezing my buns off and the weather is getting cooler every year. But I&#8217;m going to have to change my lifestyle and reduce my standard of living because 52 scientist-lackeys say that carbon dioxide is causing global warming? Give me a break.&#8221; The emperor has no clothes, and it&#8217;s up to us to reinforce what is already known. Let us take every opportunity to ask, &#8220;Whatever Happened to Global Warming?&#8221; and at the same time point out that it&#8217;s not a sin against the planet to drive an SUV or burn a peat bog. And — one last fact — in geologic time, our present level of CO<sub>2</sub> is relatively low compared to earlier levels that were some 12 times the amount of concern to alarmists. Plants were very happy then, and oceans didn&#8217;t boil away. Remember, plants thrive on CO<sub>2</sub> — &#8220;Trees Love SUVs.&#8221;</p>
<hr /><big><strong>Not So Fun in the Sun</strong></big><span style="font-style: italic">How</span><em> Solar Activity Affects Temperatures</em><em> on Earth</em>If CO<sub>2</sub> didn&#8217;t cause the warming we experienced through the 1990s, what did cause it? In 1801 astronomer William Herschel, discoverer of the planet Uranus and of infrared radiation, is said to have predicted the price of grain from counting the number of observable sunspots. When the sunspots increased, the weather warmed and the price of grain came down. During periods of low activity, the weather cooled, crops diminished, and the price rose. The relationship between solar activity and temperature has been noted for years, but the increase in solar irradiance can be shown to be too small to account for significant changes in temperature. However, the correlation was far too close to be coincidental and is a far better correlation to Earth&#8217;s temperature record than CO<sub>2</sub> as a climate forcing agent. It seems we were looking in the wrong direction. In 2004, Nir Shaviv and Jan Vetzer of the Hebrew University showed empirical evidence that &#8220;cosmic ray flux&#8221; had an impact on climate variability.Though increases and decreases in solar irradiance wouldn&#8217;t directly produce Earth&#8217;s measured temperature changes, solar activity appears to have an indirect effect. A supernova sends out swarms of cosmic rays (mostly protons and electrons) that cause small particles in our atmosphere to attract one another, becoming nuclei for cloud formations high in the atmosphere. During periods of high solar activity, solar winds and magnetic fields act to block these cosmic intruders and prevent the formation of clouds. As high clouds reflect sunlight, preventing their formation increases the radiation reaching the surface and increases the global temperature. In other words, high solar activity, evidenced by sunspots, disrupts cloud formation, thus allowing more solar heating of the Earth.The &#8217;90s were a period of high solar activity, but this has slowed down. In fact, it has virtually stopped. The total solar irradiance, as reported by NASA&#8217;s David Hathaway, is at the lowest point on record — although the record is only a few decades long. Furthermore, sunspots migrate across the sun as the sunspot (solar) cycle matures. Usually a new sunspot cycle would have already been active by this time — but it hasn&#8217;t started. This is very bad news for the global-warming alarmists, as the data show this is the precursor of a cooling trend. Actually, it is not such good news for skeptics either, as colder weather is much more dangerous and uncomfortable than warmer weather for many reasons. Personally, I&#8217;m not a big fan of driving a team of horses across a frozen Arkansas River.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Follow the Instructions On the Tin<br />
</strong></em></p>
<p>I received an email today, another one promising me anything that my heart desires, as long as I follow the instructions which will be given for a: <em>small fee.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.hiddenknowledge.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/rembrandt_harmensz_van_rijn_moses.jpg" title="rembrandt_harmensz_van_rijn_moses.jpg"><img src="http://www.hiddenknowledge.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/rembrandt_harmensz_van_rijn_moses.thumbnail.jpg" title="rembrandt_harmensz_van_rijn_moses.jpg" alt="rembrandt_harmensz_van_rijn_moses.jpg" align="left" border="0" height="138" width="147" /></a>This comes on the tail of the movie, &#8216;The Moses Code&#8217;, which also promises everything that my heart could desire, as long as I follow instructions, and there will be a: <em>small fee.</em></p>
<p>If you are getting heartily fed up with being promised peace on  Earth and good will to all, for a <em>small fee</em>, as long as you follow instructions from luminaries like: Jack Canfield, Joe Vitalie, James Twyman, Neal Donald Walsh, Debbie Ford, Doctor Michael Beckwith et al., so am I!</p>
<p><em><strong> A Murdering Jealous &#8216;God&#8217;</strong></em></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve no doubt that these people are well meaning, but eventually they are all going to be found out. They follow a mean spirited, murdering, jealous individual, who thinks nothing of slaughtering a few innocents to get his own way.</p>
<p>They call this person God, and hey presto, just do what it says on the tin and you will have peace in your time and riches galore.</p>
<p><em><strong>Love Yourself, Love the World </strong></em></p>
<p>There are real ways to achieving an abundant life, but blindly believing in something outside of yourself isn&#8217;t one of them.</p>
<p><em><strong>Dr Who: The Man Who Never Would</strong></em></p>
<p>This is where Dr. Who comes in. This Saturday&#8217;s episode involved two waring races who both believed that they new the truth when it comes to salvation, and they were prepared to die to find that truth, which wasn&#8217;t truth at all, it was a myth.</p>
<p>Individually they were great human beings, open to discussion and willing to give their lives for a friend, but under the influence of a religious zealot, they murdered and hated themselves to the eve of extinction.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hiddenknowledge.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/drwho.png" title="drwho.png"><img src="http://www.hiddenknowledge.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/drwho.thumbnail.png" title="drwho.png" alt="drwho.png" align="left" border="0" height="113" width="190" /></a></p>
<p><strong><em> The Gun that Wasn&#8217;t Fired</em></strong></p>
<p>The chief murdering general, did what he did best, and murdered the cloned daughter of the good doctor. A distraught Doctor Who would have been able to kill this maniac easily,  but chose not to, even though he suffered great pain at the loss of a &#8216;child&#8217;.</p>
<p><em><strong>Peace When All Opposition Is Gone </strong></em></p>
<p>Both of these factions claimed that they wanted peace, but only when all the other opponents on the race for the source were dead.<em> Now where have we heard this before?</em></p>
<p><em><strong>The Moses Code Book </strong></em></p>
<p>The book that James Twyman wrote called, &#8216;The Moses Code&#8217; is a small offering of 30 A4 pages, and this spawned a movie&#8230;<a href="http://http://www.themosescode.com/index.php?p=Journey" title="link to Moses Code Movie">which you may purchase for $19.95</a></p>
<p>Before the movie hit the headlines I was able to download the book for free, now you have to purchase from Amazon.</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong> 30 Pages Became:</strong></em></p>
<p><em>New York Times</em> Bestselling author James Twyman presents the most exciting manifestation process in history. Thirty-five hundred years ago this technology was used to create some of the most incredible miracles the world has ever seen. Now you can use it to help manifest a new world.</p>
<p>Drew Heriot, the director of <strong>THE SECRET</strong> presents <strong>THE MOSES CODE</strong> film. This is the movie that the world has been waiting for. Learn how to use the Law of Attraction to do more than attract goods into your life, but goodness into the world.</p></blockquote>
<p><em><strong>The Moses Myth?</strong></em></p>
<p>Peace depends on you believing that &#8216;Moses&#8217; actually existed, which a short search on Google will tell you, is hotly disputed. Moses was probably a manufactured myth, but a great excuse for killing people.</p>
<p>Twyman tells us in his book that:</p>
<p>Pharaoh let his Hebrew slaves go because Moses was able to perpetrate miracles with the help of God. The miracles were:</p>
<ul>
<li>Turn his walking stick into a serpent</li>
<li>Turn the Nile into blood</li>
<li>Create plagues of: frogs, lice, flies, locust and other terrible things</li>
<li>KILL the first born of every Egyptian</li>
<li>Part the Red Sea and KILL the pursuing Egyptian army</li>
</ul>
<p>Would you trust this God to create peace, harmony, and a beautiful Heaven where the Angels worship him without ceasing?</p>
<p><strong><em>Megalomaniac Too! </em></strong></p>
<p>I tend to believe the bit that says all believers must bow down and worship, that&#8217;s basically what most megalomaniac dictators tend to want.</p>
<p><em><strong> It Is NEVER Right to Kill to Get Your Own Way</strong></em><br />
My loyalties would lie with the man who had the chance to kill, but never would. But I&#8217;d best not eulogize about Dr Who unless someone wants to start a new religion to worship him, he has, after all been around for some time!</p>
<p><em><strong>Peace At Any Cost? </strong></em></p>
<p>I believe that these peace mongers are Illuminati pawns, and perhaps some know it, but others don&#8217;t. They are being used to bring us into a world religion, where of course, there will be peace and some will have their heart&#8217;s desire, because all the dissenters will have been annihilated.</p>
<p>If you are willing to bow down and worship the all encompassing &#8216;GOD&#8217;, then you&#8217;ll be fine. Your family will be fine&#8230;you will have no freedom, but you will survive to be slaves of the state.</p>
<p><em><strong>Karpman&#8217;s Drama Triangle </strong></em></p>
<p>On the way you can do good by giving a little money to the children of Africa, who are in need of control too. To understand this logic look at <a href="http://www.carolwebb.co.uk" title="link to carol webb">Karpman&#8217;s Drama Triangle.</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Join us today in building <em><strong>The Children’s Academy for the Global Heart</strong></em> in Kiwanula, Uganda, a rural community of thousands of people located deep in the central part of the country. Just $150,000 will build a 7-room school house, pay 7 teachers for a year, build housing for the teachers, and pay for all initial supplies!</p></blockquote>
<p><em><strong>Help and Control</strong></em></p>
<p>It all looks so humanitarian doesn&#8217;t it. There are children starving in the USA too, many homeless and millions without medical insurance. If the Moses code is so good why hasn&#8217;t it been utilized to create plenty for these people? As far as I know peace hasn&#8217;t broken out in Iraq or Afghanistan, why would that be?</p>
<blockquote><p>Hundreds of thousands of people joined together for a &#8220;virtual hug&#8221; Peace Vigil of Jerusalem on April 6th, using the Moses Code to awaken the destiny of the &#8220;City of Peace.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.hiddenknowledge.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/haarp.jpg" title="haarp.jpg"><img src="http://www.hiddenknowledge.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/haarp.thumbnail.jpg" title="haarp.jpg" alt="haarp.jpg" align="left" border="0" height="139" width="141" /></a><em><strong>I haven&#8217;t heard a murmur about it not working!</strong></em></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at the Hidden picture here, war is necessary, famine is necessary and I&#8217;m very suspicious about the sudden weather disasters, when we know that <a href="http://www.earthpulse.com/src/category.asp?catid=1" title="link to HAARP">HAARP</a> is able to generate earthquakes and cyclones at will.</p>
<p>Before you are coerced into believing in a world of lack, famine and murder, remember that your consciousness is more than powerful enough to repel these electronic suggestions. You can learn how to defeat the enemy without using a weapon, without killing a soul and without loss of self-respect. Start by visiting my <a href="http://www.carolwebb.co.uk" title="link to carol webb">web site </a></p>
<p>I promise I won&#8217;t charge you a &#8216;small fee&#8217;, but I do want you to think for yourself. It is  &#8216;never&#8217; right to kill to get your own way.</p>
<p>I never would, would you?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.hiddenknowledge.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/chip2.jpg" title="chip2.jpg"><img src="http://www.hiddenknowledge.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/chip2.thumbnail.jpg" title="chip2.jpg" alt="chip2.jpg" align="left" border="0" /></a><em><strong> Metropolitan Police To Be Micro-Chipped</strong></em></p>
<p>One of the U.K.&#8217;s major tabloids headlined with the story that London&#8217;s police force are all to be micro-chipped. The police themselves should be pleased about this, as they will now never be outside of observation range, and will be instantly traceable  should they be targeted by terrorists.</p>
<p><em><strong> Stop And Find</strong></em></p>
<p>Alzheimer patients will also be chipped, as will all new babies, and children whose mother&#8217;s believe that they will be attacked by terrorists. All blandly repeated by hypnotized news-readers during the Illuminati News broadcasts.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hiddenknowledge.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/chip1.jpg" title="chip1.jpg"><img src="http://www.hiddenknowledge.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/chip1.thumbnail.jpg" title="chip1.jpg" alt="chip1.jpg" align="left" border="0" /></a><em><strong>Religion Paves The Way </strong></em></p>
<p>The population accepts this devious trick because they have been softened up for the process by religion. As you can read below, this intelligent man, who was once a police officer himself, accepts because he already believes. Hasn&#8217;t it been prophesied? Then it must be true, and we accept it.</p>
<p><em><strong>Needed For Survival </strong></em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.hiddenknowledge.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/chip3.jpg" title="chip3.jpg"><img src="http://www.hiddenknowledge.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/chip3.thumbnail.jpg" title="chip3.jpg" alt="chip3.jpg" align="left" border="0" /></a>I have no answer to the chip. If the chip is rendered useless then that person won&#8217;t be able to buy the rationed food that will soon be upon us.</p>
<p><em><strong>Human Brain More Powerful Than Chip </strong></em></p>
<p>I know that our brain is infinitely more powerful than the chip, and that consciousness will neutralize the effects of it&#8217;s radiation. In other words, we will be able to stay well and live well. There will however, always be a need to work with our consciousness because the chip will keep us constantly bombarded with harmful radio waves. We will never be able to rest with the chip in our body.</p>
<p><em><strong>Guilty Misery </strong></em></p>
<p>However, all those Christians who believe that they are letting god down by allowing themselves to be chipped, are being pragmatic about the situation and need to let go of their guilt. If they don&#8217;t survive they can&#8217;t be freed from Christian slavery, and giving up their lives on this wonderful planet for the sake of an Illuminati program would be a tragedy.</p>
<p>I shall be very unhappy about accepting a chip in the back of my hand, because it will be the end of my life as I know it. But unless I can find a way of avoiding the thing, <em>resistance is futile</em>, as the Borg would say.</p>
<p><em><strong> Phil Jones&#8217;s Article</strong></em></p>
<p>As a former Metropolitan Police Officer, it was with great concern that I read yesterday&#8217;s announcement by Sir Ian Blair, The Police Commissioner of London, that every one of the 31,000 serving officers will be `Microchipped` so that their `movements` can be monitored more effectively. The new device called the `Automated Personal Location System` or APLS will mean that Officers will `never` be out of range of supervisors. This massive invasion of the `last frontier` of human privacy (a person&#8217;s self) is being sold as a means by which better protection can be afforded patrol units. What nobody, including the Police Federation seems to understand, is that once `embedded` into a person, the potential of this `chip` goes much further than merely being used as a tracking device.</p>
<p>The `Personal Microchip` is the Illuminati&#8217;s `icing on the cake` where social control is concerned, and the key to the global control of the planet&#8217;s population. If this `mandatory` chipping of London Police Officers goes ahead, the precedent will be set, and how long will it be before the `Armed Forces`, and other `Emergency Services` follow suit ? Furthermore, with the Police already `fitted out` with this new `wonder chip`, it won&#8217;t be too difficult to `sell` the `APLS` to parents already whipped into a state of `terror` by sensationalised reporting by the Mass Media of every new child abduction case. &#8216;If it&#8217;s alright for the Police, well it must be a good thing then&#8217;, will be the likely consensus.</p>
<p>It is an accepted fact that the UK is the surveillance capitol of the world, and it&#8217;s people are sleepwalking headlong into a `Big Brother` Totalitarian State, the monstrous proportions of which even George Orwell could not have imagined.</p>
<p>As mentioned above, the `tracking` ability of the APLS is only a minor aspect of it&#8217;s sinister potential for human control. Over the past twenty years or so, Credit and Debit cards have largely replaced cash transactions on the high street. The imminent introduction of the national ID card system in both the UK and US would facilitate the `phasing` out of Credit/Charge cards as personal information and financial details are embedded onto the ID card&#8217;s `chip`. This in due course would accelerate the disappearance of `cash` altogether. The question begs to be asked; If there&#8217;s no cash alternative, and the chip in your card has been switched off because you wouldn&#8217;t `conform` to their new World Order, what are you going to do? There you have `their` recipe for the complete economic and social enslavement of mankind.</p>
<p>This is even more the case with personal microchips, and the with speed technology in this field is now advancing, the introduction of the APLS could literally `leapfrog` over the National ID card, and the trickle of public acquiescence would become an avalanche, as more and more employers insist on their workforce accepting `voluntary` chipping as a precondition of employment. Information stored within the `Chip` could be easily accessed via a Central Computer, and sold to private companies by government agencies. So, they&#8217;ll decide whether you work or not, and whether you will have the capacity to purchase food and everything else needed to live, or not.</p>
<p>The Book of Revelations foretold of these developments long ago, &#8216; And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond to receive a mark on their foreheads, or upon their right hand. That no man might buy or sell, save he had that mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who hath understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666&#8242;.</p>
<p>The chip placed in the back of your hand will be the mark of the beast.</p>
<p>With everyone&#8217;s complete personal `portfolio` registered on a National database (to be transferred to the Global Computer when the time is right), the dignity of human kind and the concept of the individual will disappear. I recall watching an episode of `Star Trek, The Next Generation` a few years back, and an Alien Race known as the `Borg`. The Borg were part organic, part cyborg, and were all linked to each other via their central computer. Unless we wake up and stop this relentless march towards totalitarianism, there is your picture of the future.</p>
<p>In the words of George Orwell, &#8216;If you want to know what the future looks like. Imagine a boot, stamping down onto a human face forever&#8217;.</p>
<p>The British Police Service is a ready made `easy target` for this pernicious and ominous attack on personal liberty, thinly disguised as being a means of safeguarding patrol officers. They have weak representation and no trade union. Unless their members stand firm and refuse this grim proposal, the above scenario becoming a reality is almost inevitable.</p>
<p>As CS Lewis put it, &#8216;When the Round Table is broken. Men must choose galahad or Mordred. Middle things are gone</p>
<p>Philip Jones.</p>
