Russia: Our Space Program is Being Sabotaged

Russia has, of course, long been a space program powerhouse. Sergei Korolev and his team racked up an impressive lists of “firsts” in the early days of the Cold War and the space race: Russia was the first to orbit a man-made satellite, the Sputnik, Russia was the first to orbit living creatures, and later, a man, and successfully return him to Earth. Russia was the first to put a woman into space. Russian probes stretched out across the heavens to the Moon, to Venus, to Mars. And Russia has maintained, to this day, a reliable stable of “workhorses” of  heavy-lift launch vehicles, and continues – along with the European Space Agency – to be laying the careful steps of manned space missions to the Moon and eventually Mars.

But recent events – such as the recent failure of a Russian Mars probe – have set that country’s space program back. Make no mistake, as President Dmitri Medvedev said a few weeks ago, Russia intends to maintain a vigorous manned and unmanned presence in space as part of its national interest. So setbacks or no, budgetary problems or no, Russia, unlike its short-sighted American counterpart, intends to stay in space.

All that said, the head of Russia’s space program recently suggested that the string of failures that has affected that nation’s space posture might not be entirely accidental:
Russia hints at foul play in its space failures

I hope you caught the implications of those first few lines:

“Roskosmos chief Vladimir Popovkin told the Izvestia daily he could not understand why several launches went awry at precisely the moment the spacecraft were traveling through areas invisible to Russian radar.

“‘It is unclear why our setbacks often occur when the vessels are traveling through what for Russia is the ‘dark’ side of the Earth — in areas where we do not see the craft and do not receive its telemetry readings,’ he said.

“‘I do not want to blame anyone, but today there are some very powerful countermeasures that can be used against spacecraft whose use we cannot exclude,’ Popovkin told the daily.”

Now on the face of it, this seems to me to begging a few questions. First, the idea that there is a “dark side” of the Earth blind to Russia seems on the face of it to be absurd. Russia, like the USA, has laced the globe with a network of spy satellites, and it is inconceivable that the Russian government would not have a similar network of communications satellites simply for defense purposes if nothing else. The idea that Russia would have a space program where its manned and unmanned probes are not able to receive telemetry readings is equally absurd. And Mr. Popovkin is not a stupid man. He knows this.

Man in Palestine 400,000 Years Ago?

Here is an interesting article which, if it bears up under scrutiny, may upset the scientific applecart once again:Homo sapiens lived in Eretz Yisrael 400,000 years ago

400,000 years is, of course, directly contrary to the reigning evolutionary and genetic paradigm that holds that modern homo sapiens sapiens came from Africa, and migrated throughout the world, some 150,000-200,000 years ago. Of course, there are those such as Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson who have presented archaeological evidence of someone in the genus homo being on earth in these times frames – and much older – ad possessed of evident technologies. (See their Forbidden Archeology and The Hidden History of the Human Race).

It is interesting that the teeth are said only to be “similar” to modern man, and this raises an issue: if they are only “similar” to modern man, are we looking at some hitherto unknown species with the genus, or are we looking at some species already known (for example, homo Neanderthalensis) but unspecified in the article?What species then is being talked about? The article indicates, perhaps, some confusion over this precise issue:

“The specimens, date back to the Middle Pleistocene era, include permanent and deciduous teeth. They were thus placed chronologically earlier than the bulk of fossil hominin specimens previously known from southwest Asia. Although none of the Qesem teeth resemble those of pre-Homo sapiens Neanderthals, a few traits may suggest some affinities with members of the Neanderthal evolutionary lineage, but the balance of the evidence suggests a closer similarity with the Skhul-Qafzeh dental material, said Gopher and Barkai.”

The War to Reign In the Internet Has Begun

Dr. Joseph Farrell

Yesterday I blogged about the problems confronting the financial elite seeking to walk the precarious fine line between the breakup of the EU and maintaining it, and implementing middle-class destroying financial policies. The fly in the ointment, of course, is information and its control, i.e., the internet. Once again, The Daily Bell has come forward with a very observant article on this new phase of warfare against the world’s middle class:

Yes, The War for the Internet Has Begun
The problem, as Anthony Wile sees it – and I wholeheartedly concur with his evaluation – is this:

“There is no doubt, in my view, that the elites practiced directed history in the 20th century, setting up wars and economic catastrophes designed to consolidate world government. But in the 21st century, with so many understanding and evaluating the mechanisms of the elites, this is a considerably harder trick to pull off.”

But there is an additional problem for the elite, and I hope you caught it:

Dr. Joseph Farrell's Thoughts on the US Drone that Crashed in Iran

Well, I depart from my usual practice of talking about a particular article or video today, to present some thoughts about the drone that recently “crashed” in Iran. Let’s back up to the story via the context. First we had the death of Osama Bin Laden, whose body, let us recall, was quickly buried at sea. That’s called tampering with the evidence. We are simply asked to take the government’s word for it, not to mention there were stories in the media long before that he may have died. Then there was the matter of the Iranian used car salesman plotting with the Iranian government to commit acts of terrorism. Well, that one was in my opinion designed to beat the war drums for a strike on Iran. Don’t get me wrong here. The government of Iran is nuts. What other country has as a component of its very national constitution the mandate to export jihad and to annihilate an entire nation? But the car salesman story was a non starter. It quickly fizzled in its utility for hyping the war fever.

Then came the drone, which let us recall was first reported as having crashed, until the Iranian government showed off its “crashed drone” which looked to be in pretty fine condition. Then we were fed the cock-and-bull story that it had a malfunction and “glided” to a landing.

Now, I am having difficulty with all this and I hope you are too. It seems silly to me that such advanced technology would not have some sort of self-destruct mechanism. Now maybe it doesn’t. I don’t know. The military has done stupid things before, and it wouldn’t surprise me. Maybe it does, and it “malfunctioned.”

But all this is merely prelude, for however the drone got there, the fact of the matter is that it is there, and there under circumstances that are all too suspicious, in my humble opinion. The question is, why, and who is behind it, for it seems to me that someone wanted Iran to have this drone. So, working with that hypothesis, the question is, who and why?

German Intelligence Service Slammed for Destroying Files on Nazi Past

The after-effects of World War Two linger on, this time, in a news story about the German Bundesnachrichtendienst, Germany’s CIA/KGB/Mossad/MI-6(I am grateful to Mr. V.T. for sharing this news item with me):

German intelligence service slammed for destroying files on Nazi past

As the article points out, files on employees of the BND – successor to Nazi General Reinhard Gehlen’s Fremde Heere Ost or Foreign Armies East – who had Nazi pasts were shredded by the BND in 2007. Well, if we, and for that matter, the German Bundestag committee overseeing the BND, are to believe the BND’s story, the whole matter was simply due to the BND getting rid of documents that were no longer needed in its archives.  True enough, we might think; intelligence agencies acquire reams of information of all kinds and quickly fill their archives and periodically do such “dumps” of their excess archives. No big surprise there.

Except in this case, the files were of BND agents that were Nazis. Nazis in the service of the same Nazi general who became the first head of the BND after its informal status was “normalized” after West Germany was created. Let’s note the date of the article: Nov 30, 2011. IN other words, it was reported while Europe is in a financial meltdown, and while Germany itself seems to be the only viable economy on that otherwise financially besieged continent.

So the timing makes me extraordinarily suspicious, for the only other reason that could possibly justify such document shredding is simply because there was still, to this very day, something about the BND’s history and connection with Nazism that makes it sensitive, and necessary to destroy. True enough, the shredding was done in 2007, but the story comes out now.

I have long maintained the suspicion, and it’s only that, a suspicion, that the current European meltdown seems a bit oddly coincidental, that the only country thus far not engulfed in the debt conflagration is…Germany. It behooves us to remember that Martin Bormann’s “postwar plan” included the idea of a European Federation that Germany would be able to dominate by “elastic political” means, means which, in the financially-gifted Bormann’s view, included finance.It’s all purely coincidental, of course, that it seems to be Berlin that is calling the shots in Europe…for the moment….

ALLEGED CRIMES OF THE FED

Source: Giza Death Star
Dr. Joseph P. Farrell

Someone sent me the following link about recent leaked papers from the Federal Reserve, and the comments they evoked from a sitting US Senator:

The Wall Street Pentagon Papers

OK…beyond the stupid picture of Bernanke with the camera looking up at him…a typical ploy of propagandists to deify their subjects … what the article states is, to me, quite interesting. First, we note that it was an independent US Senator, Bernie Sanders, that had the guts to point out Federal Reserve corruption. We hear little about it from Republithugs or Dummycrooks, other than Ron Paul. The same Senator Sanders also asks the significant question: has the Fed become the central bank of the world?

But I suggest, the honorable Mr. Sanders’ comments notwithstanding, that the real shockers – for most people anyway – are three statements that the author of the post, David DeGraw, makes:

(1)”All the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations got their cut;” and let’s not forget

(2) “People throughout the world who keep using the dollar are either A) Part of the scam; B) Oblivious to reality; C) Believe that US military power will be able to maintain the value of an otherwise worthless currency; D) All of the above.”

OK…true enough. What Mr DeGraw is getting at here is something I’ve commented on myself, namely, that in the ponzi scheme of central banks issuing monetized debt as a nation’s currency, i.e., issuing the facsimile of money, is that the ultimate collateral on the debt is the nation and its people itself. The racketeering and corruption are thus inherent to the system, and Mr. DeGraw is right in implying that the RICO act comes into play here, for “crony capitalism” resembles nothing so much as the ‘business’ of organized crime.

I point out that in this system, especially when a nation like the US has shipped most of its manufacturing overseas – and both the Dummycrooks and Republithugs have been complicit in this “free market” nonsense, the result is that the backing of the dollar as a reserve currency comes down to force…. the “backing” in other words, is the US military, and this we have seen ample evidence of in the past few months and years.  It means inevitably that unless we can get a handle on this runaway corruption, and put our monetary and fiscal house in order, that a geopolitical clash is inevitable.

(3) “The Progressive’s Matthew Rothschild has a good quote: ‘The financial bailout was a giant boondoggle, undemocratic and kleptocratic to its core.’”

This is the statement I found to be the most interesting in the whole article. I have no idea if Matthew Rothschild is a member of the far-flung banking clan or not, but I rather suspect, given its size, that he is. I have previously blogged about another Rothschild bankster who also called for the end of the Eurozone or at least a massive restructuing of it. Well, that has happened. What intrigues me is that the statements of Matthew Rothschild indicate more than just a bit of a fissure between the Rockefeller group and the Rothschild group, for as I pointed out in Babylon’s Banksters, the primary target of the Gaussian copula formula of David Li were Rothschild interests and secondarily the Rockefeller interests.

I suspect that these banking moves by the Fed are signals that there is a real struggle occurring for who will influence Europe the most: the Fed, or, as we saw this week with the quiet Chinese support of the new bailout package announced by Chancellorin Merkel are her French counterpart, a new role for China in Europe.  It’s getting interesting folks!

THE CHOICE: RENAISSANCE, REFORMATION, OR REVOLUTION

Dr. Joseph P. Farrell

We face a choice…we’re at a fork in the road with three branches: Renaissance, Reformation, or Revolution. We stand, in other words, at the same crossroads we stood at about half a millennium ago, and for similar reasons.

Consider only the parallels. Then an elite prevailed that had been in power for well over a millennium. It was an elite that controlled the mechanisms of bureaucracy, of money, and most importantly, of information and general culture. It could and did depose kings, and arrange the fates of nations. It launched – on its pretended divine authority – massive invasions of the Middle East and a “clash of civilizations.”It launched one of the bloodiest internal purges in history against the Cathars. It enforced its own version of political correctness and hate speech legislation, burning people alive who dared disagree with it, and hypocritically washing its hands of the deed by making “the secular authority” perform the executions. Its institutional claims, in spite of its modern face of gentility, have not changed. Nor has it repented and disavowed many of those deeds.
