An investigative committee released a report
this week estimating that the US Government has lost as much as $60
billion to waste, fraud and corruption in Iraq and Afghanistan over the
past decade.
The report is the work of the Wartime Contracting Commission,
established by Congress in 2008 to investigate funds and contracts in
support of US military operation. Rather than advocating a reduction in a
ballooning military budget that has nearly doubled since the false flag
terrorist incident of 9/11, however, the report makes the case that
budget cuts to the Department of Defense will actually increase the
wastage and instead argues that massive increases in spending need to be
maintained.
Touted as a team of “independent investigators,”
the report is being hailed as a serious attempt to get a handle on the
budget of the government agency most notorious for waste, fraud and
corruption.
What is not being noted is that the commission includes such members
as Dov Zakheim, the comptroller of the Pentagon under the first George
W. Bush administration when a DOD Inspector General report established that the Pentagon was unable to account for over 2.3 trillion dollars in transactions.
Zakheim was a member of the neocon Project for a New American Century and a signatory to their 2000 document, Rebuiding America’s Defenses, which called for a “new Pearl Harbor” to justify a transformation of the US military.
Prior to taking over the Pentagon’s finances, Zakheim was an executive at System Planning Corporation, a defense contractor which specialized in advanced technologies, including systems for remotely controlling aircraft.
Earlier this summer, Zakheim wrote an op-ed in Foreign Policy
lamenting proposed defense spending cuts and arguing that any such cuts
should be made to veteran’s health benefits and pensions.
Despite the fact that the Pentagon has been unable to account for trillions of dollars, it has not been subject to an audit by the Government Accountability Office in the modern era.
Donald Rumsfeld was asked about the status
of the Pentagon’s missing trillions for the first time this year, not
by a newspaper or television reporter, but by a group of citizen
journalists who post their videos to YouTube.
The new report on the wasted billions blames the problem on
corruption, bribery and profiteering, amongst other factors, and comes
out just as a new investigation from The Center for Public Integrity has revealed that defense spending on no-bid contracts has tripled in the last 10 years. The Pentagon now spends over $140 billion a year on no-bid contracts to private contractors like KBR, compared to $50 billion in 2001.
The modern era of military contracting began in 1992,
when then-Defense Secretary Dick Cheney offered Halliburton subsidiary
KBR $9 million to conduct a study on the use of private companies to
provide civil logistical support to the US military. KBR concluded that
private contracting was in the US’ interest. Cheney awarded the first
contract under the KBR study proposal to KBR itself, and three years
later he became Halliburton’s CEO.
Cheney was also a signatory to the PNAC document calling for a new
Pearl Harbor and was Vice President when that Pearl Harbor incident
occurred on 9/11/2001. Subsequently, KBR was awarded 10s of billions of
dollars in sweeping military contracts to provide civil logistics in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The US government is currently suing KBR for $100 million for fraud and overspending related to these contracts. http://www.corbettreport.com/pentagon-frets-over-wasted-billions-ignores-missing-trillions/

The Australian Greens are concerned that John Singleton and
his long-time friend Gina Rinehart are teaming up to push for a
significant say in Fairfax Media.
Mr Singleton and his partner,
the venture capitalist Mark Carnegie, announced late on Friday that
their Gutenberg Investments had purchased a stake in Fairfax and would
align with fellow shareholder, Gina Rinehart.
However, Greens Acting Leader Adam Bandt said Mr Singleton's move was cause for concern.
"I'm
very, very worried that up until now Gina Rinehart has been unwilling
to sign on to some very basic principles of journalistic independence
and if she's now joining forces with other Australian millionaires in an
attempt to set the Australian media in a different direction, I think
it's of great cause for concern," Mr Bandt told reporters in Melbourne.
"I don't want to wake up every morning and find that my newspaper choice is between Rupert Murdoch and Gina Rinehart.
"I think that will be a bad state of affairs for Australian democracy."
Mr
Singleton said in a statement late on Friday that he had already met
with Ms Rinehart, but discussions are at a "very early stage".
"It was clear to me from the start that there was a mutual interest in working together," he said.
"However
it is important to state that both Gina and I believe that the
lifeblood of Fairfax is the integrity and accuracy of its journalism.
"This
in no way would be compromised if Hancock Prospecting and Gutenberg
Investments had a significant say in the future of Fairfax."
But Mr Singleton said the Fairfax Charter of Independence should be reviewed.
"I
was on the board of Fairfax when Sir Zelman Cowen was chairman of the
board some 20 years ago, when the existing Fairfax Charter of
Independence was drawn," he said.
"There is no reason why a group
of eminent and experienced Australians should not review the charter to
ensure and enable its relevance for today, and the current very
challenging times for the media."
He also took a swipe at the board and its effectiveness.
"I
think the current board has struggled to come to terms with the new
environment, which is there for all to see in the share price and the
lack of direction at the company," he said.
Mr Singleton's decision
to buy into Fairfax followed the board's decision to "definitively
closing the door" on a sale or joint venture of their radio assets to
his Macquarie Radio Network. http://au.news.yahoo.com/queensland/a/-/latest/15733123/singo-buys-into-fairfax-sides-with-gina/
Emma Orbach, 58, has shunned society, living in a mudhut she built herself The Oxford graduate named her home Tir Ysbrydol, which means ‘spirit land’ in Welsh, where she has banned technology She fetches water from a stream and keeps three goats, seven chickens and two horses
By
David Wilkes PUBLISHED: 28 December 2012

UPDATED: 28 December 2012
Her straw and mud hut looks more suited to Bilbo Baggins. But unlike the wandering hobbit, Oxford University graduate Emma Orbach is staying firmly put. The
58-year-old has spent the past 13 years living with no electricity in
her self-built roundhouse, generating her own power and growing her own
food.
Enjoying a night in: Oxford graduate Emma Orbach
plays the Celtic harp in her hobbit-style mud and straw roundhouse in
the Welsh mountains
Independent life: Emma collects firewood for her eco-home which lacks electricity and running water
Her daily chores involve tending to
her vegetable plot and collecting fruit, looking after her three goats,
seven chickens and two horses and chopping firewood. She gets her drinking water from a nearby stream and only rarely ventures to the shops for treats like rice and chocolate. Her evenings are spent in the glow of her stove, cooking her dinner and playing music on her Celtic harp. The vegetarian then retires to her wool-stuffed mattress and wool covers at about 7.30pm. Mrs Orbach said: ‘This is how I want to live. This lifestyle makes me feel really happy and at peace and this is my ideal home.’
Unassuming: The hobbit-like roundhouse has been named Tir Ysbrydol which means 'spirit land' in Welsh
Living off the earth: Emma has banned modern technology from her mountain home
The simple life: Emma keeps seven chickens, three goats and two horses at her eco-hut
Nestled in the mountains of West Wales, she named her home Tir Ysbrydol, which means ‘spirit land’ in Welsh. When
her children, who are in their 20s and 30s and live in London, Bristol
and Brighton, visit, they, like all guests at the roundhouse, are
banned from bringing technology such as phones or laptops with them. It
is all a far cry from the conventional trappings of Mrs Orbach’s
background. Her father was a violinist and her mother a librarian. After
graduating from Oxford with a degree in Chinese, she married
architectural historian Julian Orbach.
Together they founded the Brithdir Mawr
eco-community in the Preseli Mountains near Newport, in Pembrokeshire,
round a 180-acre farm in 1993.
Animal care: Emma milks one of her three goats as part of her daily routine
One with nature: Emma gets her water from a
nearby stream, chops her own firewood and only ventures to a shop to buy
special treats such as chocolate
For
five years they enjoyed a simple life, then a survey plane chanced upon
the ‘lost tribe’ and they were plunged into a decade-long battle with
officialdom. Officials
were unable to find any records, let alone planning permission, for the
mystery hillside village surrounded by trees and bushes and insisted
the eight grass-covered buildings should be demolished. The eco-community endured a decade of
inquiries, court cases and a planning hearing before their fight, backed
by more modern support for green issues, finally ended in victory in
2008 when the roundhouses were given planning approval. But
by then Mr and Mrs Orbach had divorced and the commune split into three
entities, including hers. Each community is independent and they
co-exist as neighbours in a more traditional style. Explaining why she
set up her own home just before 2000, Mrs Orbach said she felt a ‘very
strong pull to live life even more simply’.
Teatime: Emma makes a brew on her open fire, adding milk from her own goat
No stress: Emma relaxes in front of the fire in her hut before she heads to bed when it darkens outside at around 7.30 pm
She is
in the process of building a sixth roundhouse there and has permission
from the council to build four more, as well as a sauna, workshop and
community building. She runs a ‘healing and retreat centre’ on the site and usually has about five people living in the other roundhouses. They pay her a donation, which covers her £63-a-month council tax payments, repair costs and supplies of grain. She
said: ‘I don’t miss anything at all about what is normally called
reality. The quality of life, in my view, is decreasing and everything
is speeding up and becoming more stressful. ‘Once
or twice I have joked about getting a takeaway pizza delivered here
when I am tired after a long day. But I don’t think anyone would
deliver a pizza across two fields anyway.’

US director Oliver Stone (AFP Photo / Tizina Fabi)
(116.9Mb)embed video
Americans are living in an Orwellian state argue Academy
Award-winning director Oliver Stone and historian Peter Kuznick, as they
sit down with RT to discuss US foreign policy and the Obama
administration’s disregard for the rule of law.
Both argue that Obama is a wolf in sheep’s clothing and that people
have forgiven him a lot because of the “nightmare of the Bush presidency
that preceded him.” “He has taken all the Bush changes he basically put them into the establishment, he has codified them,” Stone told RT. “It
is an Orwellian state. It might not be oppressive on the surface, but
there is no place to hide. Some part of you is going to end up in the
database somewhere.”
According to Kuznick, American citizens
live in a fish tank where their government intercepts more than 1.7
billion messages a day. “That is email, telephone calls, other forms of
communication.”
RT’s Abby Martin in the program Breaking the Set
discusses the Showtime film series and book titled The Untold History of
the United States co-authored by Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick.
"Obama was a great hope for change"
RT: It
took both of you almost five years to produce this series. And in it
you have a chapter called Obama: Management of a Wounded Empire. You
give a harsh critique of the Obama administration. What in your eyes has
been the most troubling aspect of his presidency, Oliver? Oliver Stone:
I think under the disguise of sheep’s clothing he has been a wolf. That
because of the nightmare of the Bush presidency that preceded him,
people forgave him a lot. He was a great hope for change. The color of
his skin, the upbringing, the internationalism, the globalism, seemed
all evident. And he is an intelligent man. He has taken all the Bush
changes he basically put them into the establishment, he has codified
them. That is what is sad. So we are going into the second
administration that is living outside the law and does not respect the
law and foundations of our system and he is a constitutional lawyer, you
know. Without the law, it is the law of the jungle. Nuremburg existed
for a reason and there was a reason to have trials, there is a reason
for due process – ‘habeas corpus’ as they call it in the United States. RT: Do you agree Peter? Peter Kuznick:
I agree, if you look at his domestic policy, he did not break with the
Bush administration’s policies. If you look at his transparency – he
claimed to be the transparency president when he was running for office.
There has not been transparency. We have been actually classifying more
documents under Obama than we did under Bush. All previous presidents
between 1970 and 2008 indicted three people total under Espionage Act.
Obama has already indicted six people under the Espionage Act. The
surveillance has not stopped, the incarceration without bringing people
to trial has not stopped. So those policies have continued.
Then
there are war policies, militarization policies. We are maintaining
that. We are fighting wars now in Yemen, Afghanistan, we are keeping
troops in Afghanistan. We have not cut back the things that we all found
so odious about the Bush administration and Obama added some of his
own. The drones policy – Obama had more drone attack in the first eight
months than Bush had his entire presidency. And these have very dubious
international legality. OS: Peter was
hopeful that the in the second term there will be some more flexibility,
we hope so. But, there is a system in place, which is enormous – the
Pentagon system. RT: It almost seems that
they took the odious CIA policies and just branded them, so it is now
acceptable – the assassinations, the extrajudicial executioner without
the due process. It is fascinating.
"We are all ultimately watching ourselves"
PK: We
complained during Bush years that Bush was actually conducting
surveillance without judiciary review. Obama is killing people, targeted
assassinations without judiciary review. That to us is obviously much
more serious. RT: You also cover Pearl
Harbor, which of course led to the internment of Japanese American
citizens. I do not think a lot of people acknowledge that once again
underreported aspect of really what that meant. When you look at the
surveillance grid in America today it almost seems like it is an
open-air internment camp, where they do not need to intern people
anymore because we have this grid set up in place. What do you guys
think about that? PK: The US government now
intercepts more than 1.7 billion messages a day from American citizens.
That is email, telephone calls, other forms of communication. Can you
imagine: 1.7 billion? We’ve got this apparatus set up now with hundreds
of thousands of people, over a million of people with top security
clearances in this kind of nightmarish state, this 1984 kind of state. OS: One
million top security clearances. That is a pretty heavy number. In
other words, we are living in a fish pond and I think the sad part is
that the younger people accept that. They are used to the invasion. And
that is true, how can we follow the lives of everybody? But the truth is
that we are all ultimately watching ourselves. It is an Orwellian
state. It might not be oppressive on the surface, but there is no place
to hide. Some part of you is going to end up in the database somewhere.
Academy Award-winning director Oliver Stone (right) and historian Peter Kuznick
"US fears things,we fear the rest of the world"
PK: And
it can be oppressive on the surface. One of the things we feared after
9/11 was that if there was a second serious attack like 9/11 then the
constitution would be gone. The crackdown would be so outrageous at that
point. And there is still this obsessive fear. The US fears things, we
fear the rest of the world. We spend as much money on our military
security intelligence as the rest of the world combined. Do we have
enemies that we feel so threatened by? Do we really need this anymore?
Is this what our priorities should be? No we think not, we want to turn
that around. RT: The evisceration of the
rule of law, especially the National Defense Authorization Act, which
eradicates due process – our basic fundamental freedom in this country. I
wanted to bring up another interesting point that really struck me in
the film series, which are the kamikaze pilots. They were brave, that
was the bravest act that you could do and then I can’t help but think of
suicide bombers today and Bill Maher, he goes out and loses his show
for saying these people are brave. And you have people like Ron Paul get
up there and talk about blowback as a reality and he is ridiculed. How
did we get here, where the discourse is just so tongued down when we
can’t even acknowledge the truths such as that? OS:
Primitive of course. There has been a blind worship of the military and
patriotism. I strongly believe in the strong military, but to defend
our country, not to invade other countries and to conquer the world. I
think there is a huge difference that has been forgotten: morality. Once
you take the laws away, as Einstein once said famously, the country
does not obey its laws, the laws would be disrespected. So it seems that
the fundamental morality has been lost on us somewhere on the way
recently and now it is what is effective. Can we kill Bin Laden without
having to bring him to trial, can we just get it done? And that ‘get it
down’ mentality justifies the ends and that is where countries go wrong,
and people go wrong. All of our lives are moral equations. Does the end
justify the means? No, it never did. PK: And
the other side of what you are asking is about the constraints upon
political discourse in this country. Why are people so uninformed? That
is what we are to deal with in the series. If people don’t understand
their history, then they don’t have any vision of the future and what is
possible. If they think what exists now – the tyranny of now – is all
that is possible, then they can’t dream about the future. They can’t
imagine the future that is different from the present. That is what I am
saying – people have to understand the past because if you study the
past then you can envision a future that is very different.
We
came really close on many occasions to going into very different
direction in the future. We came very close in 1944-1945 to avoiding
atomic bombing and potentially not having the kind of Cold War that we
had. We came very close in 1953 upon Stalin’s death to ending the Cold
War. We came close in 1963 when Kennedy was assassinated to ending the
war in Vietnam, to ending the Cold War, to heading into a very different
direction. Then there were the Carter years, again a possibility of a
different direction. And at the end of the Cold War in 1989 Gorbachev
was reaching out to Bush. Did Bush take that olive branch that Gorbachev
was giving him? No, very much different. What did we do instead? We
applaud the Soviets for not invading when countries were liberating
themselves from the Soviet Union and then we immediately go and invade
Panama and then we invade Iraq.
So we are saying that “it is
great that you are showing restraint, but we are not going to because we
are the hegemon.” As Madeline Albright, Secretary of State under {Bill]
Clinton, says “if the US uses force it’s because we are the United
States of America; we are the indispensable nation. We see further and
stand taller than other nations.” That is the attitude that Oliver and I
are challenging. This sense of American exceptionalism that the US is a
city on the hill, God’s gift to humanity, if we do it, it is right. And
that is not acceptable.
"We want the country to begin thinking about the big questions again"
OS:
It is very funny because the book has been out a few weeks, series have
been playing for the fifth week now. We go to TV shows, we sit in these
beautiful sets and they are always rushing and rushing. They got news
in Gaza, they got Obama. And they ask us what are you talking about?
History? What does it have to do with today? What is your point? We sit
there very patiently and it is very bizarre to me that they say the past
is prologue, that is all happened before and if we are smart you will
see it more calmly and won’t overreact. We also argue that this kind of
media is driven by dollars, the greed. You have a show and it is really
not a news show, it is about rating and how you can get that – with a
lot of speed, a lot of zoom and a lot of fancy sets and people watch.
Goal is to keep it moving, don’t think, just keep it moving. PK: A show like this, we can actually discuss the issues at a little more depth, a little more critically. RT:
If both of you are to make a film about this generation right now, what
is one facet that you think is the most underreported or
misrepresented? OS: I don’t know about the
younger generation, I have three children. I think it is an eternal
story in some degree. People no matter what have a similar morality and
consciousness, patterns re-emerge again and again. The young men and
young women want to make their way into the world. And it is not that
far off from what we went through. So I believe in cyclical history and I
think my children are going through what I and my father and mother
went through. I always look for those patterns first beyond the
superficiality. PK: I find that my students care
very passionately about what is going on in the world. They are all
doing lots of volunteer work. But what I find in this generation, like
Oliver’s and my generation, is that they treat the symptoms. They are
not asking the questions about the root cause of all of these problems.
They care, they try to change things, but it is more superficial.
What
we are challenging them to do is look at the patterns. Look at what has
happened from the 1890s all the way through to today. Look at the
consistency of the wars, interventions, the military expenditures, the
paranoia, they fear of outsiders, the oppression. And get it to the
root, what is making the system as a whole sick in a certain ways and
how can we root out those deeper causes.
Now that we
understand that, we can begin to change that. The Occupy movement did
some of that there have been times in the 1930s, 1970-80s, 1960s when
people were challenging on that scale. We want the country to begin
thinking about these big questions again. What is our past, how did we
get here, what are the possibilities for the future, what have we done
wrong and what can we get right? RT: Do you
think these superficialities in the conventional wisdom that we hear are
perpetuated to keep us in a perpetual state of war? PK:
I don’t know if it is quite so deliberate, but that seems to be the
effect – dumbing down the population to the point where they cannot
think critically and then you can pull anything over their eyes. They
have a five-minute attention span and a five-minute memory of what
happened in the past. We are saying learn your history, study it and
think about what the alternatives are, think in utopian ways how
different the world could be, how better it could be if we start to
organize it rationally in the interest of people, not in the interest of
profit, not in the interest of Wall Street, not in the interest of
military, in the interest of our common humanity, the six billion of us
who occupy this planet. OS: The model of the
series of The World at War, which was made by the BBC in the 1970s about
WWII. Ours are 10 feature films, cut with care, an hour each, pure
narration, music, and sometimes clips of films that make our point or
don’t make our point. Either way we try to keep it flowing like a young
person could enjoy it like a movie, I am glad you did. http://rt.com/news/oliver-stone-us-orwellian-022/

Massive act of censorship sees alternative media pages disappeared Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
December 27, 2012 Editor’s note: Infowars.com editor Kurt Nimmo also had his account suspended by Facebook early today.
Facebook is purging accounts that carry pro-second amendment and
pro-liberty information in a censorship purge that has accelerated over
the past few hours, with innumerable pages being disappeared merely for
posting legitimate political content.
NaturalNews.com’s Mike Adams contacted us to alert us to the fact
that “Facebook banned our account for posting this,” with an attached
image of a Gandhi quote about how the British disarmed the citizenry
during their rule in India.
The following is a list of Facebook accounts operated by individuals
in the alternative media that have been shut down by Facebook staff
over the past 24 hours. Infowars writer Aaron Dykes and political
dissident Brandon J. Raub have also had their accounts deleted. Raub was
snatched by police and forcibly imprisoned in a psychiatric ward earlier this year for posting political content on Facebook. Infowars editor Kurt Nimmo also had his account suspended this morning.

Peter Dale Scott (account inactive)
Jason Infowars (account inactive)
Mike Skuthan (account inactive)
Packy Savvenas (account inactive)
Sean Wright (account inactive)
Katherine Albrect (account inactive)
It is important to stress that most of these accounts have not simply
been temporarily suspended, they have been shut down completely.
A 24 hour suspension was also placed on the Alex Jones Facebook
account due to an image that another user had posted in which Alex Jones
was tagged.
One of the messages being received by users having their accounts
suspended is displayed below. In most cases, users are not even being
informed of why their page was suspended or deleted, with Facebook
merely referring them to the company’s guidelines. Last week, we reported on how Facebook was suspending user accounts that questioned the official narrative behind the Sandy Hook school massacre. As we have previously highlighted,
Facebook occasionally deletes images and posts that it claims violate
“Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities,” yet constitute
little more than political conjecture or a healthy skepticism of
official narratives on current events.
In September 2011, Infowars reporter Darrin McBreen was told by Facebook staff not to voice his political opinion on the social networking website.
Responding to comments McBreen had made about off-grid preppers being
treated as criminals, the “Facebook Team” wrote, “Be careful making
about making political statements on facebook,” adding, “Facebook is
about building relationships not a platform for your political
viewpoint. Don’t antagonize your base. Be careful and congnizat (sic) of
what you are preaching.”

When you buy Microsoft products, you are now promoting the pharmaceutical industry and its global vaccine agenda. That’s the new reality in which we live, where the world’s largest software company is “in bed” with the world’s largest vaccine pusher.
How so? In 2009, Microsoft purchased a key piece of technology from the drug company Merck, the world’s largest maker of vaccines (which Bill Gates says can help “reduce the global population” by 10 to 15 percent). That technology, as you’ll see below, can conceivably be used to develop eugenics vaccines that target specific races and nationalities with infertility-inducing pharmaceuticals — something that is entirely consistent with Bill Gates’ openly-admitted goal of reducing world population through the use of vaccines (see link to video below).
This gene-targeting vaccine research technology purchased by Microsoft was developed by the company known as Rosetta Biosciences, formerly owned by Merck. Their software is described as a way to “figure out how genes interact with each other, analyze peptides and metabolites, and determine how they relate to gene expression.” (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/microsoft/2009288622_rosetta020…)
An announcement on the Rosetta Biosoftware web site explains, “The deal allows Microsoft to incorporate genetic, genomic, metabolomic and proteomics data management software into the Microsoft Amalga Life Sciences platform for enhanced translational research capabilities.” (http://www.rosettabio.com/company/news/rosetta_microsoft)
This same announcement goes on to say that vaccine maker Merck will “provide strategic input to Microsoft” as a part of the deal. Merck’s strategy, of course, is to make money by pimping vaccines and pharmaceuticals, including the now-infamous Gardasil vaccine.
Rupert Vessey, the vice president of Merck Research Laboratories, openly admits this deal puts Microsoft in the role of being a drug developer. He says, “We look forward to collaborating with Microsoft to develop new bioinformatic solutions to enable and expedite drug discovery and development…”
This is a key statement to understand, because the term “bioinformatic” can only mean one thing. What stores information in biology? These is only one digital storage system in human biology, and that system is, of course, DNA. Therefore, the idea of developing “bioinformatic solutions” really means to develop “gene-targeting drugs and vaccines.”
This is fully consistent with Bill Gates’ admitted agenda of reducing world population with the help of drug company technologies. At a TED conference, he announced in front of a live audience:“…if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower [global population] by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.”(http://www.naturalnews.com/029911_vaccines_Bill_Gates.html)
What’s clear from all this is that Bill Gates is pursuing an agenda of human depopulation. This is a similar agenda of those who pursue eugenics efforts around the globe, including Adolf Hitler and a long list of former FDA Commissioners in the United States. One of the most common ambitions of those in the highest positions of power, it seems, is to cull the human population and eliminate “the little people,” leaving only a “master race” of supreme beings.
Even major universities around the globe are now teaching students that human beings are evil for merely being alive and exhaling carbon dioxide, and that killing off humans is “green” for the planet.
In order to kill off large swaths of human beings, the most efficient mechanism to use is a self-replicating, gene-targeted bio-weapon. Microsoft’s Amalga Life Sciences technology, purchased from vaccine developer March, theoretically provides a viable platform to develop precisely such bio-weapons. It is interesting that no announcements from the company appear to have been made since being acquired by Microsoft in 2009, indicating that their work is now being conducted in total secrecy, behind closed doors.
U.S. government admits developing weaponized, deadly flu strains
Recent headlines reveal that the United States government has also secretly funded bioweapons research that resulted in the development of super-deadly flu strains that could wipe out far more than just 15 percent of the human population. As revealed in recent news headlines:
“Scientists agreed Friday to a 60-day moratorium on research into a modified avian flu virus that has been demonstrated to be more transmissible among mammals. Although the investigators believe their research has a public health benefit, they acknowledge the fear of some governments and others that the genetically altered virus could escape from labs and infect people.”(http://www.philly.com/philly/health/news/HealthDay660965_20120120_Res…)
That may be precisely the point, it turns out. There is no better way to promote the vaccine profits of the pharmaceutical industry than to actually release an engineered bioweapon virus into the wild. And there is no faster way to reduce the world population than to engineer either a vaccine or a weaponized flu virus that burns through the human population, targeting those of an “undesirable” genetic profile who need to be “cleansed” from the human gene pool.
This about this the next time you think about purchasing Microsoft Office, Windows or some other Microsoft product. By doing so, you are funding what could very well be a global eugenics agenda with the ultimate goal of wiping out a significant proportion of the human race. http://worldtruth.tv/microsoft-buys-eugenics-technology-from-merck/
