Bilderberg Members Discuss Killing Ron Paul

Heated conversation about Congressman dying in plane crash takes place in hotel lobby

Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
Friday, June 1, 2012

During a heated conversation in the lobby of the Westfields Marriott hotel yesterday, Bilderberg members expressed their desire to see Ron Paul die in a plane crash, according to veteran journalist Jim Tucker’s inside source.

The close up shot was necessary to eliminate background noise. A full interview with Jim Tucker (AmericanFreePress.net) will be posted later.

The shocking exchange took place just after Bilderberg attendees started arriving yesterday morning as they were driven through crowds of hundreds of Paul-supporting demonstrators.

Wasting no time to shoot their mouths off, one Bilderberg member expressed his desire to, “Get Ron Paul and all of his supporters on an airplane with a Muslim suicide pilot and take ‘em down,” according to Tucker’s source, which has been proven routinely accurate with Bilderberg information in the past.

“That was the harshest comment made but there were a lot of mean-spirited comments made as the Bilderberg boys gathered in the lobby of the hotel,” added Tucker.

Tucker explained that the Bilderbergers are becoming increasingly irate at the resistance amongst patriotic Americans to their program, with protest figures rising at each annual confab.

“The program planned by Bilderberg has been set back for years and every year it gets worse and every year they get more depressed and every year they get more outraged – we’re winning, they’re losing,” said Tucker.

Bilderberg is furious that Paul is working to stop the full ratification of the Law of the Sea Treaty, which as we documented yesterday is being discussed at this year’s conference. The treaty would hand the United Nations control over all U.S. oceans and force ships to pay a tariff directly to the global body.

This is not the first time Bilderberg members have expressed their desire to see the Texan Congressman and staunch constitutionalist meet his maker.

Back in December 2007, best-selling author and Bilderberg sleuth Daniel Estulin told the Alex Jones Show that the U.S. intelligence establishment was considering assassinating Paul as a means of derailing the Ron Paul Revolution, which later gave rise to the Tea Party and spawned a generation of anti-big government grass roots activists.

Chicago cops threaten to revoke First Amendment rights from journalists

Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of the press, but can cops eliminate that liberty all together? Journalists in America are quickly learning that their own presence is pushing the police to threaten their First Amendment rights.

No, cops in the US cannot actually strip reporters and cameramen of their right to report freely in public space, but more and more often lately journalists in America are learning that the officers in charge of enforcing laws have a very limited understanding of what they have sworn to uphold. While on assignment recently in Chicago, two credentialed members of the media were hauled away in cuffs.

"Your First Amendment rights can be terminated," was the warning issued by a Chicago Police Department officer that was caught on video this March. Two staffers with a local NBC News affiliate were apprehended while on the scene outside of an area hospital to report on the death of a young girl when cops patrolling the premises insisted that journalists walk away from the building; members of the press had already been forced to retreat across the street from the facility when the altercation took place.

When members of the media challenged the officer’s threat, they were told, "Your presence is creating a scene." After arrested two reporters with NBC News, the Chicago PD released them without filing charges and issued a statement explaining their actions:

“We removed two individuals from the hospital at the request of hospital security guards, who asserted that the individuals had tried to go past them into secure and private areas of the hospital. The security guards declined to press charges and the individuals were released,” reads the statement.

Vitamin D and Cancer – Vitamin D Outperforms Pharmaceuticals at Treating Cancer

Mike Barrett

June 1, 2012

Everyone is deathly afraid of coming down with cancer, yet the very lifestyle that promotes cancer is the most popular. Cancer has been one of the leading causes of death in the United States, UK, and many other nations for years. Something is terribly wrong, as the war on cancer is failing miserably. The use of pharmaceutical drugs is not the answer, and the idea of prevention is seldom voiced. Luckily, making some dietary changes can reduce your cancer risk significantly. One example is showcased with research showing that a relationship between vitamin D and cancer exists; raising vitamin D levels can be more effective and much safer than dangerous pharmaceutical drugs and treatments. It costs a whole lot less as well.

Vitamin D and Cancer
Angus Dalgleish, a consultant medical oncologist residing in a city known as Tooting in south-west London, tests all of his patients for vitamin D levels and prescribes supplements for when the levels are low. Dalgleish noticed that patients at his clinic at St Georges suffering from melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, almost all were vitamin D deficient. Not only does the medical oncologist prescribe vitamin D for his melanoma patients, but he also prescribes the vitamin for other patients who are stricken with other types of cancer.

“If we supplement people who are low they may do better than expected. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if vitamin D turns out to be more useful in improving outcomes in cases of early relapse than drugs costing £10,000 a year,” said Professor Dalgleish. “I spent a decade studying interferon for which the NHS paid £10,000 annually per patient for years for very little benefit. Vitamin D is much more likely to give a benefit in my view.”

Other research from the University of Leeds showed similar connections between vitamin D and cancer, specifically melanoma. Patients with the lowest vitamin D levels had the gloomiest outlook and were also 30 percent more likely to suffer from the disease in the future than those with higher vitamin D levels.

At Creighton University in Nebraska, Joan Lappe, a professor of medicine, also noticed a strong link between vitamin D and cancer. He took note of the vitamin d and cancer relationship when cancer patients who received vitamin d and calcium supplementation increased their survival rates significantly. Although the trial was originally meant to evaluate the effects of supplements on osteoporosis, this accidental finding led Lappe to examine the effects of supplements on cancer.

You May Not Be Getting the Vitamin D You Think You Are
Of course, none of this matters if you aren’t giving your body the necessary amount of vitamin D to work with. Foods fortified with vitamin d contain a synthetic, potentially harmful type of vitamin D called vitamin D2. Vitamin D2 is both inferior and could be harmful, so you may not want to search for fortified foods like milk and cereal just yet. Instead of chomping down on fortified foods, consume foods that naturally possess vitamin D such as cod liver oil, eggs, and seafood such as salmon, oysters, catfish, sardines, or shrimp. However, be careful when consuming fish, as most fish is toxic due to contaminates and chemicals residing in the water.

The best source of vitamin D is the sun, but the amount of vitamin D produced from sun exposure can vary greatly. Getting sun exposure in the summer when the rays are very strong can produce a lot of vitamin D – as much as 10,000 IU’s in just 20-30 minutes (a bit longer for dark skin). But soaking up the rays in winter months will not produce the same amount as the sun is less powerful.

One last thing to remember is to avoid using sunscreen if possible. Not only does research show that sunscreen causes cancer, but lathering on sunscreen also compromises your body’s ability to produce vitamin D from UV rays.

Cops gun down man for legally carrying firearm

Cops gun down man for legally carrying firearm

Jeff Knox explains how irrational fear led to police-sanctioned murder

Erik Scott was a West Point graduate who went on to serve honorably in the Army, get his MBA from Duke and establish a lucrative career in real estate and as a sales rep for a medical device company. He was 38 years old when he was gunned down in portico of a Las Vegas area Costco store by officers from the Las Vegas Metro Police Department. While it was 7 bullets from the only people we’re supposed to trust with guns that snuffed out Erik Scott’s life, what really killed him was an irrational fear of firearms – hoplophobia.

Scott and his girlfriend had been shopping in the Costco, but had been asked to leave when an employee spotted Scott’s lawfully carried handgun. Scott had inadvertently exposed the gun when he squatted down to inspect some merchandise. He informed the employee that he was legally carrying the gun and was in possession of a valid Nevada concealed weapons permit, but was informed that Costco has a policy against carrying firearms in their stores.

National Guard Magazine Cover Story Specifies Americans as Greatest Terror Threat

Adan Salazar
Infowars.com
June 1, 2012

photoThis is the front cover of the May/June 2012 issue of GX Magazine.

The latest edition of The Guard Experience, the National Guard’s official magazine, features a cover story titled, “The Threat at Home.”

While the title itself is quite shocking, the ideas presented are definitely meant to desensitize guard member readers to the idea of pursuing and capturing Americans on American soil, thus finalizing the end of posse comitatus.

In the article, author Susan Katz Keating stakes the claim that the American people, and their military, can never let their guard(s) down due to advancing internal terrorist threats that constantly plague us.

Right from the git-go we know exactly what type of propaganda we’re in for. The article will attempt, through the telling of various narratives, to paint the picture that the few Americans that have orchestrated terrorist events inside the U.S. in the past are the norm.

The article introduction begins as follows: “The mission to prevent terrorism on U.S. Soil starts with al-Qaeda, but it doesn’t end there. Homegrown terrorists, hostile nations, and lone radicals present perils, too. And the methods of destruction are vast. Ask homeland security experts about the dangers, and you’ll get a range of answers. But one thing is clear: The hunt can never stop.” (emphasis Keating’s)

Before reading further, the introductory excerpt tells us it’ll hold the terrorist pretext that 9/11 provided as the basis for the never-ending war against the American public. Al-Qaeda will, yet again, serve as the boogeyman by which our rights will be stripped away, in our own country no less:

“And what threatens us most here at home, within our borders? A number of actors come to mind, but the primary “who” is clear, experts say. Most officials, including Sen. Susan Collins from the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, point to al-Qaeda or al-Qaeda-inspired adversaries.”

The article’s layout can be predicted prior to even reading. It’ll begin by describing a terrorist event in which a crazed U.S. citizen plots a terror attack against Americans.

It will then be followed by a brief glance over the 9/11 attacks, using them as the basis for required military intervention against citizens. This has worked in the past and there’s no point in changing it up now: “With so many threats hovering, the question remains: Who, specifically, is likeliest to carry them out? The 9/11 style infiltrator from abroad still remains a threat.”

photo

The article also dutifully pays homage to the disseminated fable of the bin Laden raid: “Following the American takedown of Osama bin Laden last year, the Pentagon worried that families of the SEALs and Air Force special operatives would be targeted.”

It doesn’t take a psychology major to realize that the avenue of constant fear will be the road this article takes to justify a militarily policed public.

Interestingly Senator Collins, who in the past has co-sponsored overreaching cybersecurity bills and is in the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, tells the author that the next terrorist could be “someone you went to school with:” “Over the past two years, we have seen a sharp escalation in the number of homegrown terrorist plots.”

Glaringly, one detail in the article stands out: “In the years since the 9/11 attacks, investigators have thwarted dozens of plots against the U.S.” (emphasis added)

Have 36? or 48? terror plots been foiled by investigators treating us all like criminals since 9/11? The U.S. population is 311 million and counting. The odds of finding, let alone identifying, a terrorist most closely resemble the odds of finding a needle in a…you know what I mean. It makes no sense to target every American, as is the current practice.

While the article does not specifically call for increased internet security measures, one section does pander the fear of a terrorist using the internet to carry out large-scale cyber attacks.

On the topic of increased vulnerability to an EMP-style cyber-attack, Eric Hannis, executive director of Etherton and Associates, a Northern Virginia-based defense consulting firm, had this to say: “How much food do you have? It could plunge us back to the 18th century…Unless you have an old vehicle, your car won’t work. Even if you could get to the store, the refrigerated food would not be [edible]. You couldn’t use a phone. No computers. No communication.” In other words mass hysteria and panic will ensue unless, of course, we have Etherton and Associates on the case.

This is just one instance in which the military is being conditioned to accept policing of the public. In the past Alex Jones has made numerous movies documenting military police state takeover exemplified through army simulation drills being conducted in public places, beginning with his Police State series.

With magazines and other publications spinning this type of propaganda to our service members, it’ll take guard members of extreme character and will not to succumb and ultimately be used as instruments to usher in martial law.

The National Guard’s motto is “Always ready, always there;” let’s hope that doesn’t mean, necessarily, everywhere.

With any luck, GX Magazine subscribers will be smart enough to see through the propaganda, and realize that if this police state comes into fruition, it will be their children, as well as ours, that will pay the price.
