What Economic Recovery? Hewlett Packard going down, HP to cut even more jobs in Boise?

“We didn’t make the investments we should have during the past few years to stay ahead of customer expectations and market trends. As a result, we see eroding revenue and profits today.”-Meg Whitman, CEO of HP, February interview

There’s rumors that Hewlett Packard is considering merging its computer production, with its printer production.  Boise, Idaho, is home to a huge HP compound that includes  printer manufacturing.

Analysts say they don’t know what good will come from such a merger, but agree that people are going to lose their jobs: “HP has some massive structural fixes that they need to make, and this doesn’t come close. I don’t see how this changes anything apart from probably giving you an excuse to cut some heads and cut some costs.”-Rob Cihra, Evercore Partners

World War 3: Germany sells more Dolphin Submarines to Israel

March 20, 2012, Germany’s Defense Minister, Thomas de Maiziere, announced that Germany will sell Israel at least one more Dolphin submarine.

The Dolphin submarine is made specially for Israel, and is a smaller version of the 209 class sub.  It can carry SLCM (submarine launched cruise missiles) which can be armed with nuclear warheads.  Oh, but I don’t hear any Western powers complaining about that!

Not only is Germany selling more of these submarines to Israel, but according to an unnamed source in the German government, they’re covering one third of the cost (about $178 million) and providing easy loans to Israel in order to pay for the rest!

Israel has three of the 2,800 mile range submarines, with two on order not counting this latest announcement.

 

Nissan to bring Datsun back to life

Up until the mid 1980s Nissans were sold in the U.S. under the Datsun name.  Now Nissan is reviving that brand, but not for the United States.

Nissan says Datsun vehicles became known as cheap but reliable cars.  They are reviving the brand name for the Indonesian, Indian and Russian car markets.

Datsun started in 1931 as DAT motors. Its smaller cars were called DAT-son, as in son of DAT.  In 1933, Nissan took over the company and changed the name to Datsun, because the Japanese Emperor is considered a descendant of the sun goddess Amaterasu, and because ‘son’ means loss in Japanese.

The cars will be made in factories in those countries.  Indonesia is now the number one car market in South East Asia, 890,000 vehicles were sold there in 2011!

 

 

Oil & Gas Prices: More Hypocrisy; the U.S. exempts EU & Japan from Iran oil sanctions

In a move that is hypocritical, the United States has exempted 10 European Union countries, and Japan, from U.S. imposed Iran oil sanctions.

It also brings up the question: What was the point?

I already showed how, under the Bush jr administration, U.S. corporations were exempted from future sanctions against Iran, back in 2000!

The countries now granted exemptions from the U.S. oil sanctions are Belgium, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Japan.

Again: What was the point of the U.S. imposed sanctions against Iran, if the U.S. is going to grant exemptions to other countries, and, a Republican created law in 2000 already exempts U.S. corporations from having to obey any sanctions anyway?

World War 3: Russia supports UN resolution on Syria, but only if….

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, said Russia will support a resolution on Syria proposed by Kofi Annan, but only if two conditions are met.

One: The details of the resolution are made public.

Two: That it is not an “Ultimatum”, but an on going process of dialog to “…end to violence on all sides…”

World War 3: Afghans torch NATO convoy, violence against women increases, Karzai shuts down 58 private security companies

In Farah Province it seems the “Taliban” have started the Spring Offensive early.

A convoy of U.S./NATO/ISAF fuel tankers has been destroyed, and several people killed.  Also, in a separate incident two militants were detained and accused of plotting to launch an attack on Afghan forces.

The fuel convoy was being escorted by a private security company, two of the security guards were killed.

Speaking of private security companies, the media hasn’t talked about the Afghan President’s mission to shut them down. Turns out that Hamid Karzai ordered an end to privately run security companies.  So far 58 companies have been shut down.  Another 40 have been given an extra three months to get out a town!

In Kandahar yet more attacks.  Afghan National Security (ANS) forces say several of their troops were killed and wounded in the past 24 hours.  They claim it was the result of military operations against anti-government militants.  Although the ANS listed the types of weapons they confiscated, they did not mention any casualties on the militant side.

Afghan police claim that violence against women is on the increase.  In the latest case a Baghlan Province woman was found with her head shaved, made to sit in the snow, was beaten with cables, and was forced into prostitution by her husband.

Afghan officials are praising their increased efforts to end violence against women, but the woman in the latest case says she had been tortured for the past three years of marriage, and had asked for help from the police several times!!!

Because the Afghan officials are finally doing something about violence against women, it might seem like there’s an increase in the violence.  But like the woman said, in her case it had been going on for three years, and she told the authorities several times.

World War 3: Obama issues National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order. The closest thing to Martial Law yet! Controls food supply! Preps for Total War!

Very quietly, on March 16, 2012, Nobel prize winning U.S. President Barack Obama issued a new Executive Order: National Defense Resources Preparedness.

If you think the military industrial complex is big now, guess what!

The bulk of the Order focuses on creating a full blown Total War military industry.  Obama stresses the need to “improve the efficiency and responsiveness of the domestic industrial base to support national defense requirements” and “to foster cooperation between the defense and commercial sectors for research and development and for acquisition of materials, services, components, and equipment to enhance industrial base efficiency and responsiveness.”

The Order establishes the officials who will lead the Defense Production Act Committee, and orders the Secretary of Commerce to co-operate with the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of Homeland Security!

It also orders six Departments to begin prioritizing and allocating resources respective to food, health care, transportation, resources for industries, and even water supply (assigned to the Department of Defense)!

“The Secretary of each agency delegated authority under subsection (a) of this section (resource departments) shall plan for and issue regulations to prioritize and allocate resources and establish standards and procedures by which the authority shall be used to promote the national defense, under both emergency and non-emergency conditions.”

The Order even gets into the details of providing loans to companies involved with providing for National Defense!

It makes the Secretary of Defense the go to man for funding, as he is now acting  Defense Production Act Fund Manager.

The Order places the Secretary of Homeland Security in charge of the National Defense Executive Reserve (NDER), including the “…establishment, recruitment, training, monitoring, and activation of NDER units…”

The Secretary of Labor, and the Secretary of Defense, will “…collect and maintain data necessary to make a continuing appraisal of the Nation’s workforce…”  and develop “…policies regulating the induction and deferment of persons for duty in the armed services…”

“Executive Order 12919 of June 3, 1994, and sections 401(3) (4) of Executive Order 12656 of November 18, 1988, are revoked.”

Executive Order 12919 deals with national defense industrial resource policies and programs.   Executive Order 12656 deals with emergency preparedness responsibilities.

The major differences between this National Defense Resources Preparedness, and those made in the past, is the use of the term “non-emergencies”, several times in the order.  Also, the desire to control food & water supplies as well as health care and transportation.

From Section 201: “…to promote the national defense over performance of any other contracts or orders, and to allocate materials, services, and facilities as deemed necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense…”

This is for real people! This is basically an order that puts the United States in a Total War stance. “Total war is the practice of war where nearly all the resources of a society are employed to defeat an opponent.”Silvapages

 

 

 

 

 

 

More proof of Nibiru: Sumerians were right, there is such a thing as deadly nuclear wind, declassified Manhattan Project documents prove it!

“Will the Earthlings the Anunnaki emulate, will Earth relive Nibiru?”-14th Tablet, Lost Book of Enki

In an ancient Sumerian myth the whole of what we call the Middle East was destroyed by what they called an “Evil Wind”, many thousands of years before the Sumerian civilization began.

Documents relating to the nuclear Manhattan Project reveal that 20th Century scientists knew of such evil wind.  The nuclear wind is created by microscopic uranium dust particles, which are spread by nuclear explosions, melt downs of reactors using uranium fuel or the use of depleted uranium (DU) weapons.

(the same can be said of Plutonium)

On October 30, 1943, Brigadier General L. R. Groves wrote a long memo suggesting the involvement of Chemical Warfare experts in the then on going Manhattan Project.  The reason is that microscopic radioactive dust particles were proving to be deadly, and he thought they could be used “As a gas warfare instrument… “

The memo went on to say “…the material would be ground into particles of microscopic size to form dust and smoke and be distributed by ground-fired projectile, land vehicles, or aerial bombs.”

General Groves stressed: “The amount necessary to cause death to a person inhaling the material is extremely small…..one millionth of a gram….would be fatal.” 

Groves is talking about uranium dust.  This memo proves that veterans of the 1991 Gulf War, both U.S. and Iraqi veterans, are correct when they say they are suffering strange illnesses (many having died) caused by DU rounds.

It also accounts for the high number of grossly mutated infants born to mothers who live in war zones were DU ammo is being used.

Groves also pointed out that microscopic uranium dust is not detectible “…by the senses…” and that gas masks were of no use because “…it will permeate a standard gas mask filter in quantities large enough to be extremely damaging.”

The following is from the 13th Tablet, Lost Book of Enki and pre-dates ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon and the ancient Hebrews:

“Then the first terror weapon [nuclear weapon] from the skies Ninurta [legal heir to Enlil. Co-founder of gold mines and spaceports in the Americas] let loose: The top of Mount Mashu [Har Sinai in Hebrew, Jabal Musa in standard Arabic, Mount Sinai] with a flash it sliced off, the mount’s innards in an instant it melted.

Above the Place of the Celestial Chariots [base for spacecraft, Sinai Peninsula] the second weapon he unleashed, with a brilliance of seven suns the plain’s rocks into a gushing wound were made.     

The Earth shook and crumbled, the heavens after the brilliance were darkened:
With burnt and crushed stones was the plain of the chariots covered, of all the forests that the plain had surrounded, only tree stems were left standing.

‘It is done!’ Ninurta from the skyship, his Black Divine Bird, words shouted.”

“Over the five cities, one after the other, Erra [title given to Nergal, after this ancient nuke war, which means Annihilator] upon each from the skies a terror weapon sent.

The five cities of the valley he finished off, to desolation they were overturned.

With fire and brimstones were they upheavaled, all that lived there to vapor was turned.”

“By a darkening of the skies were the brilliances followed, then a storm to blow began.

Swirling within a dark cloud, gloom from the skies an Evil Wind [uranium dust] carried…..

The dark brown cloud eastward it directed, toward the settled lands did the cloud spread: Wherever it reached, death to all that lives mercilessly it delivered.”

“Let the people disperse, let the people hide!

From their cities the gods did flee, like frightened birds from their nests [spaceports] escaping they were.

The people of the lands by the Evil Storm’s hand were clutched; futile was the running.

Stealthy was the death, like a ghost the fields and cities it attacked.

The highest walls, the thickest walls, like floodwaters it passed, no door could shut it out, no bolt could turn it back.

Those who behind locked doors hid inside their houses like flies were felled.

Those who to the streets fled, in the streets were their corpses piled up.

Cough and phlegm the chests filled, the mouths with spittle and foam filled up.

As the Evil Wind the people unseen engulfed, their mouths were drenched with blood.

Slowly over the lands the Evil Wind blew, from west to east over plains and mountains it traveled.

Everything that lived, behind it was dead and dying, people and cattle, all alike perished.

The waters were poisoned, in the fields all vegetation withered.

From Eridu [Enki’s Earthly homebase] in the south to Sippar [a spaceport possibly in Turkey] in the north did the Evil Wind the land overwhelm.

Bab-Ili [‘Gatweay of the Gods’, became Babylon], where Marduk [legal heir of Enki, god of Babylon, called Ra in Egypt] supremacy declared, by the Evil Wind was spared.”

Oil & Gas Prices: U.S. oil sanctions have actually increased Iranian oil sales! Saudi oil sales increase! Algeria oil increase! Ecuador oil increase! Iraq planning to avoid Strait of Hormuz

According to the Joint Organization Data Initiative (JODI), Iranian oil sales have gone up since the United States started their sanctions games last year!

In January 2012, Iran exported 2.265 million barrels per day. The highest since December 2008!

Of course part of the increase is from customers stocking up now, ’cause they’re afraid the Iranian oil supply will end due to new sanctions and a possible war (again, no thanks to the United States, European Union and Israel).

Those same sanctions, and threats of war, have also increased Saudi Arabian oil sales to the United States.  U.S. officials managed to get Saudi officials to change their minds about not increasing oil production, at a recent IEF meeting.

Canadian media reporting that Saudi oil exports to the U.S. have already increased by 25%.

Algeria and Ecuador have also increased oil production.  Algeria by 18%, Ecuador by 41%!

All this comes at a time when oil industry leaders say there is plenty of oil in the system. It could be a sign of stockpiling before the Third World War gets going full throttle.

Iraq is preparing by planning oil shipment routes that will avoid the Strait of Hormuz. They plan to build new pipelines to Turkey: “Short and mid-term plans will be through boosting crude pumping and upgrading export capacity via Ceyhan port in Turkey. Also to increase the number of trucks that are shipping crude.”-Iraqi government statement

 

World War 3: More than one year later people still uprising in U.S. puppet Bahrain, Saudi Arabia killing hundreds, U.S. police chief advising evil government

“We have clear demands: An elected government, a parliament with power, an end to sectarian discrimination, a clear redistribution of wealth and power and all demands guaranteed by the international convention on human rights!”-Nabeel Rajab, Bahrain Center for Human Rights

The people of Bahrain began protesting the extreme minority U.S. puppet government in February 2011.  Since then Saudi Arabia invaded with the help of Kuwait and UAE.

“Thousands of people are marching in the streets, demanding the removal of the regime, police fired tear gas and bird shot, using excessive force, that is why people got hurt.”-Maryam Alkhawaja, Bahrain Center for Human Rights, February 15, 2011

The U.S. Navy’s main port of call in the Persian gulf, is in Bahrain, and the Obama administration welcomed the Saudi led invasion: “The discussions highlighted the importance of the U.S. Saudi partnership rooted in strong historical ties and shared interests.”-statement U.S. Department of State

There was also news that Saudi Arabia was building a base to augment the USN 5th Fleet HQ, in preparations for war with Iran.

Today, March 19, 2012, protesters are shouting “Death to Al Saud! Death to Al Kahlifah!”  Referencing the royal families of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.

On March 11, 2012, Bahraini officials said they were investigating the deaths of at least 107 protestors.  Observers say the death toll is much higher.

Bahrainis say that at least 3,000 people have been arrested since last year, with hundreds reporting torture, and dozens of women reporting rape.

Bahrainis also reported that the Salafi/Wahab Saudi invaders have destroyed at least 28 Shi’a Mosques.

Ever notice how little information is being reported by western media concerning the uprisings in Bahrain, Yemen and Saudi Arabia?  Yet the Western governments are able to come up with instantaneous number concerning deaths in Syria. As if they literally pulled them out of their asses!

By the way, at least half the number of deaths in Syria, reported by the UN and other pro-U.S. groups, are Syrian military and police personnel. Something the Western media doesn’t point out!

As another example of Western media hypocrisy and ignorance concerning the on going uprising in Bahrain, a recent Wall Street Journal article referred to it as “…Bahrain’s unrest last year…”, as if the uprising was finished!

What’s also been ignored by the Western media is that the Bahraini government arrested, and sentenced to 15 years in prison, at least 20 doctors and medical personnel.  They were charged with being traitors for providing medical help to protestors who were wounded by police and Saudi forces!

On March 10, 2012, the Bahraini government said they would consider reducing sentences of five of the 20 doctors, if it would help start talks between the government and opposition parties.

The thing is they never asked the opposition parties: “We haven’t heard officially from them yet.”-Abduljalil Khalil, Wefaq political party

Several people have been killed by Saudi forces since last week.  Those deaths are being caused by excessive use of tear gas. Some people have died after being hit in the head by tear gas grenades fired from grenade launchers.

But most people are dying after their homes are flooded with tear gas.  That’s right, the Saudi forces are firing tear gas into houses, not just at protestors in the street: “Government forces not only assault unarmed street protesters with tear gas during the day, they also attack innocent women, children, and the elderly with tear gas in their homes at night.-Physicians for Human Rights

The Bahraini government has made it a crime for doctors to list tear gas as the cause of death: “…authorities also reportedly prohibit doctors from listing tear gas as a cause of death. Instead, coerced doctors have reportedly cited natural or unknown causes of death for some tear gas related casualties.”-Physicians for Human Rights

These changes in reporting causes of death come after a former U.S. police chief started advising the evil government. John Timoney, the controversial former Miami police chief well known for orchestrating brutal crackdowns on protests in Miami and Philadelphia, is now working hand in hand with former Scotland Yard copper, John Yates, advising the Bahraini security forces. 

The latest death involved a 41 year old man who died on March 16, 2012, after his house was flooded with tear gas.  He wasn’t even on the street protesting!

 

Tens of thousands of Bahrainis have been protesting in their capital Manama, since March 10, 2012.  One observer said: “It is the biggest demonstration in the past year. I would say it could be over 100,000!”-Reuters’ photographer
