WELCOME TO THE SMART HOME. Our local newspaper, the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, (some of us call it the Depressed Democrat), ran an article on March 30, 2012 about how Comcast Corporation, the cable provider for the area, is losing market share because people are watching videos online for free or using streaming services. So Comcast is 'looking for new products that can add to the bottom line,' according to their spokesman. What is it? Devices that operate home video cameras that can be viewed remotely, sensors that send a text when a door is opened, automation services that can control appliances remotely, and voices that tell you to take out the trash. Security systems through your cable provider. They say that since they're already in your home they might as well offer the service. You'll have access to that video for a month and then they'll store it for a year on their servers. Sound good to you? You know you'll forget it's there. You know you'll get used to it. You know you'll be conditioned to spy and be spied upon. You know it can be used to surveil you. You know they'll have a voice in your home. Well, maybe not right away, but awfully soon. Why? Because, it says in the article: "People can do so much with their smartphones and we're so used to doing things immediately." Because, they say: "People are really embracing the concept of a fully automated home." Who else is doing it? Time Warner Cable--they call it IntelligentHome. It's so much classier than Smart Home, don't you think? Besides they didn't think of it first. And Xfinity. And ADT. It's nationwide. You'll be clamoring for it. That's how they do it, right? It's just a product and they know you want it, and they just make it available to you. Because you asked for it. You asked for it. Add Comment We talked about IBM's vital connection to the Nazi effort to inventory and control all human beings considered 'inferior' to its master race. Yes, IBM made the machines, and punch cards for those machines, that tabulated the information detailed on the tattoo'd arms of millions of prisoners. Yes, IBM knew what was going on in Germany and regularly sent American maintenance personnel to the Nazi Third Reich to keep those machines running smoothly. Yes, IBM created a fully owned German subsidiary to avoid the 'trading with the enemy' prohibitions by the US Congress. And yes, IBM is still partnering with the enemy. When you read the information below, just think to yourself how easy it will be to cut you off from your assets. Just one click. Here's the latest from their website (thanks to Debra Hamilton, a fantastic researcher, for the tip): http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/36290.wss You will never need a password again. Your biological makeup is the key to your individual identity, and soon, it will become the key to safeguarding it. You will no longer need to create, track or remember multiple passwords for various log-ins. Imagine you will be able to walk up to an ATM machine to securely withdraw money by simply speaking your name or looking into a tiny sensor that can recognize the unique patterns in the retina of your eye. Or by doing the same, you can check your account balance on your mobile phone or tablet. Each person has a unique biological identity and behind all that is data. Biometric data – facial definitions, retinal scans and voice files – will be composited through software to build your DNA unique online password. Referred to as multi-factor biometrics, smarter systems will be able to use this information in real-time to make sure whenever someone is attempting to access your information, it matches your unique biometric profile and the attempt is authorized. To be trusted, such systems should enable you to opt in or out of whatever information you choose to provide. Mind reading is no longer science fiction From Houdini to Skywalker to X-Men, mind reading has merely been "wishful thinking" for science fiction fans for decades, but their wish may soon come true. IBM scientists are among those researching how to link your brain to your devices, such as a computer or a smartphone. If you just need to think about calling someone, it happens. Or you can control the cursor on a computer screen just by thinking about where you want to move it. Scientists in the field of bioinformatics have designed headsets with advanced sensors to read electrical brain activity that can recognize facial expressions, excitement and concentration levels, and thoughts of a person without them physically taking any actions. Within 5 years, we will begin to see early applications of this technology in the gaming and entertainment industry. Furthermore, doctors could use the technology to test brain patterns, possibly even assist in rehabilitation from strokes and to help in understanding brain disorders, such as autism. Note: Everything in Blue and Red on this post is directly copied from the IBM website. Just in case you've been in a cave for the last few years and haven't heard about this let me fill you in. The human genome has been 'mapped.' That means that lots of DNA has been collected from humans and identified. So what? According to the Council for Responsible Genetics: More likely, however, even broader monopolies may be given to those who have already patented genes or will do so soon. The human genome project has made clear that corporations that have already claimed genes as their own have, in fact, laid claim to a higher percentage of the entire human genome than they at first realized. Looking at the four leading private companies who patent genes, about 750 human genes have been patented by them so far and applications for about 20,000 more are pending. In the case that the pending patents are all awarded (which is unlikely, as many will prove to be redundant), those four private companies could own half of the human genome. OK, so what? you ask. Well, the latest thing is to spit into a cup and send it off to be analyzed at a lab---23 AND ME---so that you can find out your ancestry. It sucks at that. For instance it can tell you that you have Eastern European ancestry, maybe drop a little bomb in your life if you turn out to have had a Jewish ancestor and that surprises you for some reason. But so what? Oh, you want to know if you're going to die of heart disease at a young age? You want to know if you have a genetic disease and shouldn't breed? Now, this post goes real well with one I did a couple of days ago--one about the Nazis. The Nazis did experiments with human beings and also were terribly concerned, obsessed, with eugenics. Eugenics was the study of race and involved identification of different racial characteristics in order to purge the world of the inferior races. Back to today. When all of this focus on ancestry started up in the 90's I was very concerned about it. Suddenly everyone was on-line posting their family tree and researching their history. Very nice. And convenient. The Nazis had to do all of that work on their own. Now you're doing it for them. Who owns 23 AND ME? Anne Wojcicki. Who? The wife of Sergey Brin. Who? The founder and owner of GOOGLE. Google is heavily invested in 23 AND ME. What does 23 AND ME do with your data? They keep it. Store it. Analyze it. Inventory and control. Remember? What is UN Agenda 21? It inventories and controls everything. Including you. What will they do with it? Whatever they want. This morning on CSPAN's Washington Journal interview and call-in program the guest was discussing the economic situation in the US and Europe. A caller called in and asked the guest about UN Agenda 21. The caller asked what the US was going to do about it, and how we are going to fight it. He talked about the Republican National Committee's resolution against UN Agenda 21 and the fact that the RNC had acknowledged the existence of and danger of UN Agenda 21. The host asked the guest if he was up on the topic, the guest said no, and they moved on. This is exactly what you should be doing. CALL IN to every talk show. SPEAK OUT. Encourage your fellow free people to speak the truth and demand renunciation of UN Agenda 21 from your elected officials. Let's get this in front of every American. TODAY. DID THE NAZI'S LOSE THE WAR? What companies survived the war, thrived during the war, and participate in UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development now? Here are just a few. Siemens is a big one. Nearly bankrupt right before World War II, Siemens profited by Hitler's generous offer of slave labor from the concentration camps. What do they do now? Siemens makes solar panels, renewables as biofuel, algae, and other alternatives. Did Siemens make your solar panels? IBM--International Business Machines, an American company, was forbidden by US law to trade with the enemy during WWII. That didn't stop them though, they created a wholly owned subsidiary in Germany and proceeded to create the punch card system that correlated with the numbers tattooed on prisoners' arms. Those numbers were keyed to whether the person was to be shot immediately (after being tattooed), sent to a number-coded prison labor camp, or sent for medical experimentation. IBM knew exactly what was happening to those prisoners, and regularly sent American employees to service the machines and bring American-made punch cards. BAYER. Yes, kindly Bayer, maker of your aspirin, is a Nazi company. They still deny that a Jew, Arthur Eichengrun, first synthesized aspirin. Krupp (Thysssen-Krupp), the Nazi munitions maker now makes your coffee pots, elevators, knives and, well, look around your house. Hmmm, energy efficient! General Electric--GE, part owner of Krupp (purchased before WWII) during the war, manipulated prices of raw minerals used in making munitions so that it could benefit from higher costs to the allies. What do they own now? Energy, healthcare, and media are their primary assets. What don't they own? Not much. What about that propaganda machine? Pretty powerful. FORD/GM, owned Opel Motor Cars and built the trucks and jeeps for the Nazis during the war. General Motors built the engines for the fighter jets and bombers used by the Luftwaffe. Where did the Nazis go? They came here. Through the Rat Lines, provided by the Vatican, they were given safe passage to the United States. Many of them were scientists. Nuclear scientists, jet propulsion engineers, medical researchers, biologists, chemists, physicists. So what? UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development is implemented worldwide to inventory and control all land, all water, all minerals, all plants, all construction, all animals, all human beings, and all means of production. In the world. Oh no, they wouldn't do a thing like that, would they? YES. How do I know? On March 16, 2012, President Obama signed an Executive Order allowing the Federal Government to confiscate all food, water, transportation, means of production, and labor in the United States. In PEACE time as well as in time of WAR. Read it yourself---click above. MARTIAL LAW. Is it hot in here or is it just me? Why I'm Against Property Rights Councils 03/14/2012
You may have been hearing about Property Rights Councils lately---these are the supposed answer to UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development intrusions into private property rights. I am against them. Property Rights Councils are being pushed as a way to 'help' the property owner assert her/his property rights before an elected board by having the property owner first state their 'case' before an unelected board: the Property Rights Council. As if we hadn't learned our lesson with other unelected boards and commissions designed to push us further and further away from elected officials who have to answer to us, this Property Rights Council is supposed to magically represent us and defend our rights to our city council or county board of supervisors. A sort of priesthood interceding between the common man (you) and the holy board (elected officials). Yes, the idea is that your board of supervisors, the one that won't listen to you now, will appoint this group of learned property rights advocates who will listen to your tale of woe, about how you're being ripped off by your city or county or state or feds, and will opine on your rights. They will solicit an opinion from the Cato Institute or some other 'think tank' and then pass that along to your council or commissioners. WHERE DO I START? First of all, if your elected officials would be willing to appoint such a board IT WOULDN'T BE NECESSARY. Because if your elected officials were listening to you and respecting your private property rights they wouldn't need a board to tell them to listen to you and respect your private property rights. Right? And this unelected board---they're going to get an opinion from whom? The Cato Institute? Says who? What about 6 months from now when the council changes and they go to the Natural Resources Defense Council for the opinion on your rights? Oh, you think it's going to be a requirement that some particular group give the opinions on your property rights? NO WAY. And what about the Constitution, anyway? And the body of law? Why would you want to run through the gauntlet of yet another unelected board that's going to play favorites, winners and losers, with your rights? Who will be picked to be on this board? How much is it going to cost you in time and 'white papers' to get your rights? Who says you'll get them from this unelected board? Who are the big-money corporate interests behind the Property Rights Councils? Are they the big property owners in Idaho who don't want fishermen walking the streams (a right that is granted to all fishermen regardless of whose property they are on)? Is it just another game where you end up losing and the fight to stop UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development is sidetracked? What is wrong with us? Why do we look to someone else to 'fix things' for us? THERE IS NO SILVER BULLET. Your government is being run by planning departments whose staff has been trained by the American Planning Association. Demand your rights. Demand that planning consultants be de-funded. Demand that your elected officials purge your General/Comprehensive Plans of ICLEI's influence and the Sustainable Development policies pushed by the American Planning Association. Don't expect this to be easy. 'These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from service to his country. But he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.' Thomas Paine, American Crisis, 1776 Stand strong. Support each other. Withdraw your financial support from non-profits, corporations, and individuals who advance UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development. Educate yourself and others. Kick ICLEI Out. Dump elected officials who ignore your concerns and violate your rights. Don't expect someone else to do this for you. You are in service to your country. STEP UP. I just received this in my email and it's wonderful to see citizens empowering themselves to assist their elected officials in resisting UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development. Click here to see their resolution, which is a variation on the resolution passed by the Republican National Committee a couple of months ago. Here's the email: ***Date: Tuesday, March 13, 2012, 11:25 PM I went to my Town Council meeting tonight and presented them with a copy of the Ocean County New Jersey Freeholders Resolution to oppose Agenda 21. Our new Republican Mayor was taken back by it. He said to me..."I know exactly what Agenda 21 is. I can't believe I didn't hear about this." I handed him a copy. He immediately told the Council he wants to pass the same thing for our town and he proceeded to ask for a roll call for those in favor. 2 new Council members said they would have to abstain because they were unfamiliar with the details of Agenda 21. Meanwhile the Mayor was shaking his head yes, yes...this is good...we need to pass it. Then he told the Town Clerk to read the Freeholders Resolution out loud. She did...and all the time the Mayor and 4 other Council members are shaking their head in approval. Then they voted again. It passed with ALL in favor....and now Berkeley Township is now officially OPPOSING AGENDA 21. I, of course will get a written copy of that. I was blown away. I thanked every one of them. I'm not even sure what this FULLY means...I mean...how far can they push this? Every single thing related to Agenda 21 is opposed? I'm sure they will specify in their own Resolution. Too Cool!!! I'm a happy camper this evening! Ocean County CITIZENS For FREEDOM Moving Forward!! *** See that? It's your fellow citizens fighting back against UN Agenda 21 by educating themselves and their elected officials. You can do it too. Take this on---it's up to YOU! Is UN Agenda 21 in Canada? 03/13/2012
You bet it is. Here's an excerpt from the Canadian government's own website ENVIRONMENT CANADA Sustainable Development: Sustainable development is about meeting the needs of today without compromising the needs of future generations. It is about improving standard of living by protecting human health, conserving the environment, using resources efficiently and advancing long-term economic competitiveness. It requires the integration of environmental, economic and social priorities into policies and programs and requires action at all levels - citizens, industry, and governments. Environment Canada released the first Progress Report on the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS) on June 16, 2011. This first Progress Report describes actions taken to implement the requirements under the Federal Sustainable Development Act since the tabling of the FSDSin October 2010. It focuses on progress made on setting up the systems needed to implement the FSDS and lays the foundation for future reporting by outlining how results will be measured and shared using the Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators. Like the FSDS itself, progress reports are part of a long-term 'plan, do, check, and improve' management approach geared to making environmental decision-making more transparent and accountable over time. The FSDS was tabled on October 6th, 2010. For the first time, Canadians will see, all in one place, the Government of Canada’s environmental sustainability priorities and our progress in achieving them. The FSDS presents a detailed description of federal government activities to achieve environmental sustainability. The Strategy also commits to strengthening the guidelines for strategic environmental assessments by federal departments which help integrate environmental considerations related to economic and social decision-making. The Office of Greening Government Operations provides a series of guidelines to help departments and agencies implement and report progress on the Greening Government Operations targets for Theme IV of the Strategy. The FSDS is mandated by the Federal Sustainable Development Act (the Act), which received Royal Assent on June 26, 2008. The Act responds to a number of international commitments Canada has made to produce such a strategy, including at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992 and at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa. The purpose of the Act is "to provide the legal framework for developing and implementing a Federal Sustainable Development Strategy that will make environmental decision-making more transparent and accountable to Parliament". Public consultations were undertaken by the Sustainable Development Office at Environment Canada from March 15, 2010 to July 12, 2010. Find information here regarding the Public Consultation on the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (PDF; 29 KB). I'll bet those 'public consultations' were Delphi meetings where the public was invited to 'give their opinion' on FSDS. Yep, Canadians are caught in the same miserable trap as everyone else. But Canadians are fighting back. Stop UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development in Calgary, Vancouver, Ottawa, Edmonton, Montreal, Toronto, in all of the provinces. KICK ICLEI OUT OF CANADA. From ICLEI Canada's website: ICLEI's growing membership is comprised of over 1200 cities, towns, counties and their associations, there are currently 33 Members in Canada:
Our funders include national and subnational governments, international organizations, foundations and associations, and municipal governments including: Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) - ICLEI is partnered with FCM to deliver the Partners for Climate Protection Campaign. FCM leads the fund raising activities under this partnership. Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN) - ICLEI has worked in collaboration with NRCan on a variety of projects. Canadian Municipalities - ICLEI Canada has worked under contract with many local governments from across Canada, large or small and urban or rural:
Associations of Local Governments - ICLEI Canada also work with local government associations, such as:
Environment Canada - ICLEI has worked in collaboration with the federal government on a variety of projects. Sheriffs Used To Intimidate Citizens 02/28/2012
Just got this email from a friend in the Houston area. I am so PISSED tonight…we went to another regional planning meeting and since they now are worried about us they had sheriffs there and would only let county residents speak even though their plan covers 13 counties…UGH They stacked the meeting tonight with officials from H-GAC, Political Figures and Facilitators…it was a complete sham…UGH Yes, more and more often you will see police and sheriffs in the room when you go to speak. Are they so afraid that this largely middle aged, middle class group of citizens will get crazy, or are they there to intimidate us and let us know that we shouldn't dare to speak out? At the meeting in San Carlos, CA that some of us attended recently (a KICK ICLEI OUT meeting) there was a K-9 officer. Yes, he had a dog in the car---just in case. Still having trouble convincing your friends and neighbors that there's a problem? Tell them that your town council and other government agencies are bringing in armed men to keep you in line in case you SPEAK UP. IS THIS THE WAR ON TERROR OR THE TERRORIZING WAR? THE WAR ON TERROR IS A WAR ON YOU. The National Defense Authorization Act has identified most of us as the enemy. Use your liberty while you have it. STOP UN AGENDA 21/SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. Oooh baby. America2050.org here we come. High-speed rail owned and operated by the Chinese throughout the US. "Win-win" according to our government. Roads, sewer systems, and water systems will be owned by the Chinese. Remember Debt for Nature? Debt for infrastructure. Take a look at these blog posts http://www.democratsagainstunagenda21.com/1/post/2011/11/this-just-inchinese-takeover-of-our-telecom-grid.html and http://www.democratsagainstunagenda21.com/1/post/2011/11/did-i-say-that.html I can see it now. We lose our rural roads--pulverized to gravel. Our private vehicle usage is limited, restricted, and taxed. Our bus service will be declared insolvent and not cost effective. High-speed rail will be the only way to travel. Fully owned and operated by the Chinese. In our country. Airport-style searches. Restricted use tickets. Overcrowding. Limited line service. Why? Because we can't maintain our own infrastructure? Can we maintain our sovereignty? Just wondering. From China Daily: Yuan Ning, president of China Construction America, a wholly owned subsidiary of China State Construction Engineering Corporation, said the perfect way for China and the US to collaborate is through public-private partnership for infrastructure projects. PPP is a government service or private business venture that is funded and operated through a partnership between the government and one or more private sector companies. Yuan said Chinese companies working through PPP with the US government and private sectors is a "win-win solution". Robert Hormats, US Under Secretary of State for economic, energy and agricultural affairs, agrees that PPP is a good way to work with Chinese companies on infrastructure projects. "Chinese investment can be really helpful. We would love to have more of that and we will be pursuing that dialogue with the Chinese," Hormats told China Daily after a business event in New York. Chinese companies not only see the opportunity but also have shown a commitment to be a part of this development. China State Construction Engineering Corporation recently said it will invest $2 billion in the next few years in the US market for PPP infrastructure projects, mergers and acquisitions and residential projects. Joe Catapano, a project manager with China Construction America, said the expertise and capital Chinese companies can provide are important. "The key issue is money. It doesn't seem the United States government is willing to spend money (on building infrastructure)," said Catapano, who has 12 years of engineering experience in New York and California. "High-speed rail is definitely something we can learn from China. We don't have any of that in the US, anywhere," he added. This is the source article: China "partnering" with US and giving money to build infrastructure projects in the US: http://usa.chinadaily.com.cn/business/2012-02/15/content_14614219.htm | And the winner is...
