UFO At NFL Game: TV Camera Captures Strange Object In Flight During Broadcast

Source: Huffington Post

For many football fans who watched the New Orleans Saints rout the Indianapolis Colts on Oct. 23, the most unusual thing about the game was the lopsided final score of 62-7.

But for UFO aficionados and paranormal experts who tuned in, they may have seen something in the sky that was even more out-of-the-ordinary than the tossing of more touchdowns vs. incompletions.

As NBC’s cameras returned from a commercial break and focused on the historic, triple-steepled St. Louis Cathedral in the city nicknamed the Big Easy, a couple of lit objects seemed to streak across the darkening sky — and they’ve yet to be definitively identified.

Viewed in real-time, it’s hard to see much more than something flashing across the screen. But a frame-by-frame scrutiny of the video reveals a rod-shaped object topped with brightly lit dots.

Israel Considers Pre-Emptive Attack On Iran

Source: Sky News

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to rally support in his cabinet for an attack on Iran, according to government sources.

The country's defence minister Ehud Barak and the foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman are said to be among those backing a pre-emptive strike to neutralise Iran's nuclear ambitions.

But a narrow majority of ministers currently oppose the move, which could trigger a wave of regional retaliation.

The debate over possible Israeli military action has reached fever pitch in recent days with newspaper leader columns discussing the benefits and dangers of hitting Iran.

Mr. Lieberman responded to the reports of a push to gain cabinet approval by saying that "Iran poses the most dangerous threat to world order."

Iran Seeks U.S. Apology Over Saudi Ambassador Murder Plot Claims

TEHRAN -- The Iranian government wrote a letter to Washington seeking an apology for allegations that Iran backed a plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the U.S. on American soil, a spokesman said Tuesday.

"A letter has been sent ... It is our right to seek the official apology of the Americans in protest of this made-up scenario, as these allegations are not true at all," foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said at a news conference, quoted by the IRNA news agency.

Herman Cain: Entering Into A Shooting War with Iran "Perfectly Alright"

Former pizza magnate also unaware China has nukes.

Herman Cain’s foreign policy objectives were on show once again last night as the GOP candidate made some bizarre statements that should have even the most ardent Republican hawks worried.

During a lengthy interview with Bill O’Reilly on Fox News, Cain suggested that he wouldn’t see it as a problem to enter into full on military confrontation with Iran.

When O’Reilly asked “What is the most important foreign policy problem the United States has to deal with today?” Cain attempted to sidestep the issue by giving a generic answer and simply replying “Lack of clarity”.

“No, specifically.” O’Reilly countered, “What area of the world concerns you the most?”

“The Middle East, obviously….” Cain answered, somewhat reticently.

“At the time I become president I will have to evaluate the situation in Iraq, and Iran, and everyone of these countries.” he added.

After failing to convince O’Reilly with more of the same rhetoric about energy independence and pleading “work with me here Bill, work with me,” Cain conceded that in order to deal with Iran he would “maximize the use of our Ballistic missile Defense capabilities.”

"I Would double the use of ballistic missile capable ships," Cain explained, adding “Iran understands only two things, economic pressure and military might.”

“So you’re going to put warships in the Gulf, because they’ll attack them, you know.” O’Reilly hamfistedly countered.

“That would be perfectly alright, because I believe that we have superior capability.” Cain replied.

The Assassination of Gaddafi

The killing of Muammar Gaddafi at the hands of NATO-backed, Al Qaeda-linked forces marks the end of a campaign expressly aimed at the assassination of a head of state and overthrow of a sovereign country in direct violation of international standards that have held sway since the Nuremberg trials at the end of World War II and the establishment of the Geneva Conventions.

The NATO campaign, known as “Operation Unified Protector,” was a continuation of the US-led Operation Odyssey Dawn. It formally began on March 23rd, 2011 and was ostensibly an operation to enforce United Nations Security Council resolution 1973. From the outset, the NATO coalition partners insisted that the aim of the mission was not to assist a rebel insurgency in overthrowing the Gaddafi government, but to “protect civilians” in accordance with UN resolutions.

The real intention of the operation was revealed shortly thereafter, however, in a joint op-ed in the pages of the International Herald Tribune penned by Obama, Cameron and Sarkozy:

“Our duty and our mandate under U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973 is to protect civilians, and we are doing that. It is not to remove Qaddafi by force,” they wrote in their editorial. “But it is impossible to imagine a future for Libya with Qaddafi in power.[...]It is unthinkable that someone who has tried to massacre his own people can play a part in their future government.”

Within a month, the true aim of the intervention to assassinate Gaddafi was confirmed when NATO forces bombed the personal residence of Saif Al-Arab Gaddafi, Muammar’s youngest son in an admitted attempt to kill the Libyan leader himself. While Gaddafi himself was not caught in the strike, his son and three of his grandchildren were killed in the bombing.

Cameron: Internet Crackdown Ahead

On Monday, David Cameron went before an international cyberspace conference in London and said it was “essential to strike a balance between the needs of online security and the right to free expression.” 

“We cannot leave cyberspace open to the criminals and the terrorists that threaten our security and our prosperity but at the same time we cannot just go down the heavy-handed route,” he said. 

John Kampfner, the chief executive of the Index on Censorship, clarified Cameron’s comments: 

“It’s very easy to defend the case of black and white – human rights against dictatorships around the world. But as soon as our own Western-style stability of the state is called into question, well then freedom of expression is expendable. There should be one rule for all including Western governments.”

Cameron’s comments are viewed as a response to China and Russia. Both countries have pushed for tighter regulation of the internet through binding international treaties.

In the United States, the government has used a mostly phantom cyber threat to call for draconian legislation to control the internet. In January, Sens. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) renewed their call for an “internet kill switch” that would allow the president to shut down the internet in response to a national emergency. 

The effort came as the Egyptian government shut down the internet in response to demonstrations calling for the removal of president Hosni Mubarak. The move demonstrated that governments have the ability and technical capacity to shut down the internet in response to political crises.

Globalist Using London Cyberspace Summit to Push for Global Internet Treaty

For the next two days, leaders from around the globe will collude with tech giants to discuss how to respond to the challenges and opportunities of the Internet. Translation: they'll be negotiating a global Internet treaty.

It's reported that officials from 60 countries will join Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Tudou.com (Chinese video sharing site), as well as cyber crime agencies, and computer security firms at the London Conference on Cyberspace.

The London summit is hosted by Foreign Secretary, William Hague, who said the purpose is to "discuss ideas and expected behavior in cyberspace".

To which he claims the goal is bring together major players to determine how "collectively, we should respond to the challenges and opportunities which the development of cyberspace presents."

A few days before the conference, Council on Foreign Relations members Adam Segal and Matthew Waxman wrote that the conference presents those calling for a global Internet treaty with "a step in that direction."

They also pointed out that NATO allies have already essentially agreed to a treaty; "June 2011, NATO defense ministers agreed to a collective vision of cyber defense, and the United States and Australia recently announced that their mutual defense treaty extends to cyberspace."

Federally-Funded Street Lights Capable of "Recording Conversations"

Paul Joseph Watson

Orwellian ‘Intellistreets’ system now being installed in major cities.

Federally-funded high-tech street lights now being installed in American cities are not only set to aid the DHS in making “security announcements” and acting as talking surveillance cameras, they are also capable of “recording conversations,” bringing the potential privacy threat posed by ‘Intellistreets’ to a whole new level.

In the days after we first brought attention to the privacy concerns surrounding the new street lights, with our story featuring prominently on the Drudge Report website, the company behind them, Illuminating Concepts, went on the defensive, issuing a press release claiming the devices didn’t represent a “big brother” intrusion.

However, as you can see from the video above, ‘Intellistreets’ is big brother on steroids. George Orwell himself would probably have considered the concept too far-fetched to appear in the dystopian classic 1984.

Not only can the street lights, now being rolled out in Detroit, Chicago and Pittsburgh with Department of Energy backing, act as surveillance cameras, Minority Report-style advertising hubs, and Homeland Security alert systems, they are “also capable of recording conversations,” reports ABC 7.

In their press release, the company behind the street lights also denied that they had received DHS funding for the system. In the aftermath of the controversy generated last week, ABC 7 reports that owner Ron Harwood is now “working with Homeland Security” to implement the high tech network, which is connected via a ubiquitous wi-fi system.

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!

World's Most Powerful Laser to Tear Apart the Vacuum of Space

A laser powerful enough to tear apart the fabric of space could be built in Britain as part major new scientific project that aims to answer some of the most fundamental questions about our universe. 

Due to follow in the footsteps of the Large Hadron Collider, the latest "big science" experiment being proposed by physicists will see the world's most powerful laser being constructed.

Capable of producing a beam of light so intense that it would be equivalent to the power received by the Earth from the sun focused onto a speck smaller than a tip of a pin, scientists claim it could allow them boil the very fabric of space – the vacuum. 

Contrary to popular belief, a vacuum is not devoid of material but in fact fizzles with tiny mysterious particles that pop in and out of existence, but at speeds so fast that no one has been able to prove they exist. 

The Extreme Light Infrastructure Ultra-High Field Facility would produce a laser so intense that scientists say it would allow them to reveal these particles for the first time by pulling this vacuum "fabric" apart.

They also believe it could even allow them to prove whether extra-dimensions exist.

US Pulls Unesco Funding After Palestine is Granted Full Membership

The United States has cut off funds to Unesco as a punitive action after the Palestinian Authority was accepted into the UN agency as a full member in defiance of American, Israeli and European pressure.

The overwhelming backing for the Palestinians' bid to join the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation was a huge boost for their campaign for international recognition of an independent state, and a blow to Israel and the US, who had opposed the move.

Members voted by 107 votes to 14 to accept Palestine as a full member state to loud cheers from delegates in Paris. Fifty-two countries, including the UK, abstained.

Within hours, the US announced it would withhold its huge contribution to Unesco's budget as a result of the vote. State department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the US had no choice due to a 21-year-old law prohibiting the payment of funds to any UN body accepting the Palestinians as full members.

A $60m (£38m) transfer that was due later this month would be halted in a move that will have serious consequences for Unesco activities. The US contributes 22% of the agency's annual budget.

Imran Khan Leads 100,000 Rally Against Pakistan's US Alliance

Khan, 58, entered politics 15 years ago when he founded Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, or the Movement for Justice Party, but up to now he has struggled to translate his fame into votes.

The rally in the eastern city of Lahore indicated his message may have found new resonance at a time when Pakistanis are fed up with the country's chronic insecurity and economic malaise.

"I have come here to register my hatred against this corrupt system," said 29-year-old Nadeem Iqbal, who attended the rally.

A poll conducted by the U.S.-based Pew Research Center in June found Khan, the captain of Pakistan's 1992 world champion cricket team, to be the most popular political figure in the country.

He has been especially critical of U.S. drone strikes targeting militants in Pakistan's rugged tribal region along the Afghan border. The latest suspected strike killed six alleged militants on Sunday. Khan has argued that Pakistan's alliance with the U.S. is the main reason Pakistan is facing a home-grown Taliban insurgency.

"Our leaders owned this war on terror for the sake of dollars," Khan told the crowd assembled around the country's most important national monument, the Minar-e-Pakistan. "Let me curse you. You sold out the blood of innocent people."

The Occupy movement is not complaining about the economic downturn it is complaining about the economic system itself, it's the money that's the problem it is not the economic downturn, the problems that we face in the planet are because of the central banking system which has been imposed around the planet by the crown Corporation which is created by the Vatican. The Vatican controls all these central banks anyway and now their answer to the problem is to further centralize the power and give more power to the Vatican.

China-US Energy Geopolitics: The Battle for Oil in the South China Sea

A new area of potential confrontation is developing between China and the U.S. According to reports, Exxon Mobil which has acquired exploration and production rights from Vietnam has discovered substantial gas reserves in the South China Sea  off the coast of North Vietnam.

"U.S. oil company ExxonMobil is reporting a "potentially significant" gas discovery off the coast of Vietnam, stating in a press release, "We can confirm ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Vietnam Limited drilled its second exploration well offshore Danang in August 2011 and encountered hydrocarbons." (See John C.K. Daly, Apocalypse Redux? U.S. Natural Gas Find off Vietnam Could Raise Tensions with China,  http://oilprice.com )

It is important to note that  these off-shore reserves are located between the North Vietnam coastline and China's Hainan island in area of disputed jurisdiction between Vietnam and China. The contested area is made up of blocks 117, 118 and 119, which according to Hanoi falls well within the 200-mile exclusive economic zone under international maritime law (Ibid).

In recent days Chile’s Hudson Volcano has been very active.

An excerpt from The Washington Post reads;

SANTIAGO, Chile — Chile’s Hudson Volcano released three huge columns of steam and ash that combined in a cloud more than 3 miles (5 kilometers) high on Friday, threatening a much larger eruption that had authorities in Chile and Argentina on red alert.

Chilean officials evacuated 119 people from the immediate area, and other nearby residents prepared to flee as melting snow and ice caused the Aysen river to overflow its banks.

Experts fear a large scale eruption in the near future.

As promised, here’s the first installment of our closer review of the massive piece of job-killing Internet regulation that is the Stop Online Piracy Act. We’ll start with how it could impact Twitter, Tumblr, and the next innovative social network, cloud computing, or web hosting service that some smart kid is designing in her garage right now.

Let’s make one thing clear from the get-go: despite all the talk about this bill being directed only toward “rogue” foreign sites, there is no question that it targets US companies as well. The bill sets up a system to punish sites allegedly “dedicated to the theft of US property.”  How do you get that label?  Doesn’t take much: Some portion of your site (even a single page) must  

1. be directed toward the US, and either
2. allegedly “engage in, enable or facilitate” infringement or
3. allegedly be taking or have taken steps to “avoid confirming a high probability” of infringement.

If an IP rightsholder (vaguely defined – could be Justin Bieber worried about his publicity rights) thinks you meet the criteria and that it is in some way harmed, it can send a notice claiming as much to the payment processors (Visa, Mastercard, Paypal etc.) and ad services you rely on. 

Washington's Black Ops Against Iran

The US secret agenda for tightening its vice-like grip on the Islamic Republic of Iran has taken on an apparently new form after the anti-Iran alleged assassination plot against the Saudi ambassador to the United States, Adel al-Jubeir, raised many eyebrows among experts and analysts around the world. 

With a strong penchant for pushing for tougher action on Iran, the Obama administration has already imposed a series of sanctions against the Islamic Republic. However, a Republican-controlled congressional committee has recently heard testimony demanding an extensive range of covert operations against the country. 

The operations, which range from cyber attacks to political assassinations, are speculated to be conducted under the feeble excuse that Iran was the alleged architect of an assassination plot against the Saudi envoy to the United States. By political assassination, the US congressmen unconsciously mean the liquidation of the Iranian nuclear scientists, an act they actually started long ago. 

Retired Army Gen. John Keane told a hearing of two key subcommittees of the House Committee on Homeland Security on Wednesday, "We've got to put our hand around their throat now. Why don't we kill them? We kill other people who kill others." 

Building a Pretext to Wage War on Syria: Hidden Agenda Behind UN Security Council Resolution

Source: Global Research.ca
Ronda Hauben 

I – Introduction 

On Tuesday, October 4, the UN Security Council announced it would take up a draft resolution on Syria. This meeting was to be an instance, when the lessons some Security Council members had drawn from the experience with the resolutions on Libya could be reflected in their action on a draft resolution against Syria.

Several weeks earlier, journalists had been told that there were two different draft resolutions about Syria tabled at the Security Council.

One draft resolution on Syria had been proposed by Russia and China. Russia and China said their resolution had been designed to encourage a peaceful process to help the Syrian government deal both with its stated desire for reforms and with the extremist violence against the Syrian government that was making such reform difficult.

The other draft resolution was tabled by four of the European members of the Security Council - France, UK, Germany and Portugal. (1) This draft condemned the actions of the Syrian government. It did not oppose foreign intervention into Syria’s domestic affairs. The European draft called on all states to deny the Syrian government arms, but made no such call to deny weapons to the armed opposition.

The European draft framed the problem as the Syrian government, similar to how Resolution 1973 framed the problem in Libya as being due to the government guided by Muammar Gaddafi.
