“Truth? You can't handle the truth!”

Speaking of engineered events, Project Bluebeam (a faked alien threat to the Earth designed to legitimize a security-focussed global government/economy/security force) seems to be causing ripples again: Michio Kaku and Paul Krugman agree, we need the aliens to save the world. (The first little vid on that page is quite amusing.)

First I find that Star Trek video and now this... Strange how themed my surfing gets, sometimes.

Well Project Blue Beam is lifted from Star Trek, so it isn't such a huge leap:

What always gets me about PBB is that it is so incredibly over-complicated - you just don't need that level of complexity. The intelligence agencies have been manipulating the UFO phenomena for their own ends (and faking them? See the Pentacle Memorandum) since 1947 with no need to rely on vast schemes that would involve thousands of people and all aspects working perfectly.

Good link there - I was very amused by the description of Michio Kaku as "renowned physicist, author and the apparent mouth piece for the scientific dictatorship that is the NWO," but I'm a big fan of his.

I guess that without knowing what the mission actually was, all this is moot. If it was just a supply mission or something then yeah, a Chinook - why not? But what's so vital a delivery that it needs an escort of elite troops? If an attack, again - why not a Chinook. But, do attacks come with only one chopper or would there generally be more than one for stuff like pincer movements, diversions, reserve forces etc? And would you have all your high-value elite troops all on one of those choppers? I dunno', to be honest.

It smells a bit off to me, is all I can say.

[COMMANDO FORCES]

Yes you would have them all on one chopper, remember the one that went down in Scotland years ago, wiped out loads of high ranking anti terrorist bods in one go!

Anyway, I've done training missions when we used to go out to the rigs in the North Sea and we all crammed into one Chinook and it had the long range fuel tank fitted inside, let me say it was 'very' cramped. Once I spotted oil dropping on one of the lads legs on the rear door and managed to point this out to the rear loader.
The next thing that happened was that we had to stow all our weapons, ditch the body armour and prepare for a sea ditch in case we crashed out in the middle of nowhere. Having done helicopter dunking drills, there would have probably been no survivors if we had gone down but we didn't. The engines still had sand in from the Gulf War and that Chinook was then VOR, the next one was the same but the third one was okay so we went and attacked Maureen Alpha and it was GREAT FUN!

It all depends on the mission. Other resources would be deployed to get you on target as safely as possible. You have to rely on the teamwork of the joint forces involved. Missions fail for numerous reasons including weather, mechanical (see above), tactical, human error, etc...
Also not everyone has the aptitude for certain parts of the miltary, look at snipers! You can't let people pass an elite course just because your numbers are down, this means that these resources are finite!

As you say, it all depends on the mission and what other vital missions troops are deployed on around the world at the same time.

Good stuff, CF - it's good to read the opinions of someone who actually knows a thing or two!

Going back to the "alien threat" idea, I just found that the NSA (a cryptologic intelligence agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the collection and analysis of foreign communications and foreign signals intelligence, as well as protecting U.S. government communications and information systems, which involves cryptanalysis and cryptography) has released a document claiming to have received 29 extraterrestrial messages. The pdf can be read on the NSA's website here. Haven't properly read through it myself, yet, but it seems intriguing that a) this information has been released in the first place and that b) the media isn't all over this.

Panic over. I've just found that the last NSA article key_to_et_messages.pdf follows on from the NSA article Extraterrestrial_Intelligence.pdf which in itself is a response to the NSA article Communication_With_Extraterrestrial_Intelligence.pdf which is just a hypothetical investigation of what a detected alien message might look like.

Dammit, I thought I was on to something there...

Which itself was the target of conspiracy theories for a long time (if I remember correctly the idea was they all had to be shuffled out of the way to make the Northern Ireland peace accord go more smoothly or some such), not helped by everyone trying to blame the pilots.

Another candidate for the conspiracy industry is the Chinook helicopter crash into the Mull of Kintyre in June 1994. The Ministry of Defence inquiry into the crash, which killed 25 top security personnel and four RAF crew, blamed the pilots for "breaching safe flying rules".

...

But dark rumours abound. The loss of ten senior RUC intelligence officers, nine army intelligence officers and six MI5 officers on the eve of the 1994 IRA cessation was, for some, propitious.

"The loss of such senior intelligence personalities probably ensured the political case for a peace process to go ahead despite the recent successes against PIRA [Provisional IRA] and loyalist paramilitaries," wrote academic Sydney Elliott in the most recent edition of the Northern Ireland Political Directory.

The diaries on one of the RUC officers killed in the crash, Ian Phoenix, were published in 1996, and showed the mindset of a dedicated anti-terrorist operator who believed that the IRA could be militarily defeated, if the authorities let them "do their job".

Some of those killed were certainly involved in contentious episodes, such as the "Shoot to Kill" operations on the early 80s, in which six alleged republicans were shot dead in circumstances which themselves have been the subject of call for a new inquiry.

Some loyalists believe that the intelligence officers were deliberately "taken out" for "knowing too much" about the people the government would have to deal with in a post-conflict Ulster.

Or:

a third explanation for the crash has now come to light: that a top secret hypersonic US plane, codenamed Aurora and which is reportedly capable of flying at up to 20 times the speed of sound, created a massive jet wake into which the helicopter flew, causing the crew to lose control.

As the US dollar seems on the verge of being abandoned as the global oil trading currency, Americans will have to start paying the same for petrol as the rest of us. If the US also loses out on having their dollar as the global reserve currency any countries, banks, institutions, people etc. still holding dollars after this will get burned as their "value" plummets. (It's all paper anyway - not worth a fart.)

Gold and silver haven't finished appreciating yet. If you have any spare paper money (I haven't    ), then I suggest you look into swapping it for some real money:

[Definitely Not Mister Pops]

Well there's that old nugget about how money made from paper is worth more than money made from metal. Sometimes the copper in a penny is worth more than a penny. But it's illegal to take money out of circulation. Banking and Economics are dark arts to me.

[The Legendary Shark]

Dark arts is precisely what they are.

Money is simply a way to turn cabbages into shoes or an hour's labour into petrol. It's just one step up from barter and that's all it needs to be. Money, like water, is a public resource - something we all need fair access to in order to function in society. It's the grease of trade, that's all.

Once it was discovered that one could make money out of money (by lending at interest, for example), all bets were off. Now you can make money through buying futures and stocks and bonds and gilts and a thousand and one other bits of paper that aren't really worth anything but can make you more worthless paper out of thin air. It all sounds great but this financial alchemy affects prices of real things in the real world. Things like wheat and rubber and oil and water. The stock, bond and money markets have become one huge great ball of meaningless figures kept in the air by nothing more than perception. Everyone believes that it's working and so it works. They pump billions upon billions more worthless numbers into it not only to keep it working but to demonstrate that it is still working. It's like one huge magic trick or illusion - The Amazing Working Economy by Paul Daniels. We like it - but not a lot.

The ancients saw that allowing people to make money out of money was supremely dangerous. Christians called it usury and made it a sin, as did the Muslims. The Muslim faith still imposes a ban on usury. The Pope and the Archbishop of Canterbury have let things slide in that regard. Making money out of money is like making water out of water (if such a thing were possible) - eventually, the whole world will drown in cheap, worthless water. Jesus threw the moneychangers out of the temple for this reason.

Fast forward to the present day and we are indeed beginning to drown as the tide of worthless paper rises like a once in a lifetime rip-tide. I think it's time to take a leaf out of Jesus' book (as it were) and throw the moneychangers out of our governments. Until we do this, the paralysis of society can only get worse.

So... American politicians are calling for a new 'super congress' of 12 lawmakers tasked with saving America from financial ruin. These 12 will be essentially in charge of the US government's purse strings and, by extension, in charge of the government itself.

So... France and Germany are calling for a new 'economic government' tasked with saving Europe from financial ruin. This economic government will be essentially in charge of all the European governments' purse strings and, by extension, in charge of the governments themselves.

So... Vladimir Putin is calling for a new Eurasion economic union tasked with saving the former Soviet states from financial ruin. This economic union will be essentially in charge of all the former Soviet states' purse strings and, by extension, in charge of the former Soviet states themselves.

So... Jean Ping is happy that new unions and banks are to come into being to exploit more Africans lend money to Africans, enslaving benefiting them with debt just like the rest of us.

Is it just me, or does this look like some kind of strategy? The power of the world is being distilled and concentrated into smaller and smaller groups of people. It's like somebody's turning our whole planet into a prison - or a workhouse.

You know I don't like agreeing with you in this thread, TLS, but yes, I agree, this really does look like a strategy.  It's one that requires little beyond a common reading of what's good for elites, no giant sinister conspiracy that would require secrecy and a high level of competence, just gross opportunism on the behalf of the haves.  So I'm in agreement on this one.

I must admit I had a quiet chuckle to myself when I saw the European financial developments mentioned as I knew: a) sharky's head would revolve and his eyes flash b) he might be right to be concerned.

That said the European plan will be partly funded by a Tobin tax, which isn't the kind of thing the NWO would tend to encourage. Or is this misdirection? The shiny gewgaw to distract us from the sinister developments in order to get everyone to agree to go along with this, only for it to quietly disappear from the plans later on? Hmmm the lights have just dimmed, somewhere up the Southport Line a shark's head has slowly started revolving...

Some leaders seem to understand what's going down: Chavez to nationalize Venezuelan gold industry. (There may be war over this, see if the UN starts twitching, egged on by the USA and the IMF...)

And where's the smart money going? The same place it always does: Gold hits new record near $1,830 an ounce. I wish I could've afforded to take my own advice months ago 

As for the Tobin tax, all taxes are theft and this tax on spot currency conversions is most likely a unifying mechanism. It will be touted as a Good Thing but will transpire to have Unforeseen Consequences which would be easily solved by the adoption of a global currency. A global currency issued and controlled by private banks.

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money."  – Sir Josiah Stamp, Director of the Bank of England (appointed 1928). Reputed to be the 2nd wealthiest man in England at that time.

all taxes are theft

Then how does the government pay for stuff?
