On the same day the Soviet troops entered their country on December 24, 1979, Afghan locals agreed to talk to their old enemy about the constant struggle, now with the US and NATO operation in routing out terrorists. “Every country changes and times change. The Soviets came because they wanted to change the culture of Islamic Afghanistan to communism. Today, the situation is the same, except that NATO armies have replaced the Soviets,” says Abdul Hadi Hamidzada, former Mujaheddin fighter who fought against the Soviet Union. “Their troops are here because of Iran, China and Russia. They want to change our culture, but we will never abandon Islam.” (Taken from Russia Today News)

It is the above quote siting Iran, China and Russia that made me want to post this. It's bad enough we have been in Afghanistan for almost a decade trying to find Osama Bin Laden and now I am hearing we are there for other vested interest not those of the U.S.?? This is not the first video I post where interviews with Afghans on the ground say things that contradict what we are being told. Maybe this is an error, a mere slip of the tongue made by the Afghan man. Who knows but it really is odd that he would say NATO is there on behalf of Iran, China, and Russia; all three not being members of NATO themselves!! Why does our government not learn from our past mistakes in Vietnam, why don't they learn from the past mistakes of the Russians. Do it right or Don't do it at all!!! We are killing young American Soldiers and countless innocent Afghans! The madness must stop!

Before you get your panties in a bunch, let me start by saying I trully enjoy the Christmas Holiday season. The reason I enjoy it, has more to do with my found family memories of this time of the year and my wanting to recreate that for my children, god children and other friends and relatives. As humanity becomes more and more programmed by the latest gadgets or technology its easy to see the puppet show that these holidays are and have become. Holidays have become more about the bottom line then peace around the world! With that said, read this article written by Jerrico Usher.

The Truth about Christmas and the Real Christmas Theme

I see Christmas as a commercial holiday in fact Christmas as we know it right now was propagated by the Coca Cola company, and the theme of turkey and "feasting" was actually started as a way to get the poor people in town to stop knocking on the wealthy's door asking them to come into the house to warm up.

A wealthy guy decided that he would try something new, be a bit of a philanthropist and resolve the irritating problem at the same time. To put the problem into perspective it is akin to the beggars on the street approaching you at stop lights spraying dirty water on your windshield then asking you to give them money, or worse being bombarded at the shopping centers on your way to your car where the mother sends her cutest youngest kid to panhandle to pull on your heart strings instead of manning up and getting a job to support her young.

I'm not trying to mock the holiday but this is the real deal like it or not. Knowing this you can actually think for yourself.

The rich guy who wanted to stop the poor from showing up in the winter to beg for food decided to give these poor families a turkey, turkey was cheap and could feed an entire family for a week actually, so it was the optimal choice. The deal was if the poor families would stay home on the 25th of December he would have a turkey delivered to their home. If they were not home they missed out.

For years this guy delivered the turkeys and a guy by the name of Chris cringle one of the delivery guys (to put him into perspective he was like the publisher clearing house prize patrol, the delivery guy of the "check" or rather turkey, only to win you just had to be home), decided to bring a spirit to the delivery, much like the PCH prize patrol does with the balloons’ and the big check.

He delivered the turkeys in a sleigh, although the sleigh was pulled by horses not reindeer, he had decorated the sleigh with bells to alert people that the "turkey" was coming, (no pun intended).

He would also dress up a bit but not like we see Santa these days. It was very cold below zero and this was in New York so of course they wore the snug fir coats and such.

They may look like just elaborate models of Christian, Jewish and Islamic holy places, but Al Farrow’s artworks have a much deeper meaning.

Al Farrow’s Religious Trifecta: A Synagogue, a Cathedral and a Mosque tries to reinterpret three of the world’s major religions according to their political, military and cultural history. As you surely know, religion played a major role in some of the greatest conflicts in history and that’s what the artist is trying to emphasize through his models. Built with used gun components, bullets and steel shots, these unusual holy places reveal the violent side of religion. Al Farrow’s steel masterpieces are displayed at the de Young Museum, in San Francisco. Shout to the NeanderthalPost for this one!

Not sure how much truth there is to this but it sure would be funny if there is any truth in this! Here is what Neanderthalpost and truthdig are saying: It’s kind of sweetly dorky, like your grandpa finally figuring out how to use his iPod or something, but the Vatican has apparently discovered the late hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur and has gone so far as to include one of his songs, “Changes,” among a lineup of eight tunes on “The Vatican’s Playlist” (which has its own MySpace page!). —KA

Its creepy looking dudes like this guy that make you want to disregard any of these conspiracy theories. Either way there is to much common sense information floating around to completely ignore some of these stories. Shout to Abovetopsecret for this one.

This is old footage of an interview with Benazir Bhutto before she was assassinated. There seems to be a lot of controversy around this video clip due to the fact that she nonchalantly mentions Osama Bin Laden as being murdered. Many are saying she mistakenly said Bin Ladens name but the interviewer (David Frost which is the same David Frost from the recent movie Frost Nixon) did not correct her or question her about it. This is just another example of floating information that makes you question everything we are being told and more so what we arent being told!

I know that across the United States today is a day of eating turkey, being with your family and giving thanks but lets not ignore the reality of this day we call Thanksgiving. I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade or be "non-patriotic" like I'm sure some right wingers would call me but there is a historic fact that most people don't know or don't think about. For most Native Americans Thanksgiving represents the beginning of the end for their people and their way of life. Thanksgiving is a sorrowful day full of death and persecution. I'm not telling you not to enjoy this day off from work, I'm not telling you not to enjoy your family and give thanks for the good things in life. All I'm saying is know the history behind this day and lets pay our respects to a great people that tended to this land before us and all they went through and sacrificed for this country to be here right now. I'm not going to sit here and tell you I'm the worlds foremost expert on history so by all means do some research on the origins of Thanksgiving and the story of our native people. I want to give credit to radio host Kay Slay for talking about this last night on his Siruis / Xm radio show. Check out the following article about the "Real Thanksgiving".

Came across this interesting article on theNeanderthalPost.com and you know how I love conspiracies, Gov. tactics and mass trickery! lol

At the height of the Cold War, the Central Intelligence Agency paid $3,000 to renowned magician John Mulholland to write a manual on misdirection, concealment, and stagecraft. All known copies of the document — and a related paper, on conveying hidden signals — were believed to be destroyed in 1973. But recently, the manuals resurfaced, and have now been published as “The Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception.” Topics include working a clandestine partner, slipping a pill into the drink of the unsuspecting, and “surreptitious removal of objects by women.”

This wasn’t the first time a magician worked for a western government. Harry Houdini snooped on the German and the Russian militiaries for Scotland Yard. English illusionist Jasper Maskelyne is reported to created dummy submarines and fake tanks to distract Rommel’s army during World War II. Some reports even credit him with employing flashing lights to “hide” the Suez Canal.

But Mulholland’s contributions were far different, because they were part of a larger CIA effort, called MK-ULTRA, to control people’s minds. Which lead to the Agency’s infatuation with LSD, as David Hambling recounted here a few weeks ago:

In the infamous Operation Midnight Climax, unwitting clients at CIA brothels in New York and San Francisco were slipped LSD and then monitored through one-way mirrors to see how they reacted. They even killed an elephant with LSD. Colleagues were also considered fair game for secret testing, to the point where a memo was issued instructing that the punch bowls at office Christmas parties were not to be spiked.

The Boston Globe has put together a great visual summary of some of Mulholland’s best tricks for the CIA: the shoelace pattern that means “follow me”; the hidden compartment to smuggle in an agent; the best ways to appear dumb and non-threatening. Because there’s no better misdirection than appearing to be a fool. For more info also check out Wired.com.

What is money? You think you know but do we really understand it. We are slaves to this thing called money. Its the cause of most of the suffering in the world. In time I will post more clips and articles on this subject. This clip is of the infamous David Icke. David Icke might have some radical conspiracy theories that most people can't get down with but his take on money basic common sense. The problem is most of us would rather live in the bliss of ignorance instead of seeing things for what they really are.

Climate sceptics claim leaked emails are evidence of collusion among scientists.

Hundreds of emails and documents exchanged between world's leading climate scientists stolen by hackers and leaked onlin.

Hundreds of private emails and documents allegedly exchanged between some of the world's leading climate scientists during the past 13 years have been stolen by hackers and leaked online, it emerged today.

The computer files were apparently accessed earlier this week from servers at the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit, a world-renowned centre focused on the study of natural and anthropogenic climate change.

Climate change sceptics who have studied the emails allege they provide "smoking gun" evidence that some of the climatologists colluded in manipulating data to support the widely held view that climate change is real, and is being largely caused by the actions of mankind.

The veracity of the emails has not been confirmed and the scientists involved have declined to comment on the story, which broke on a blog called The Air Vent.

The files, which in total amount to 160MbB of data, were first uploaded on to a Russian server, before being widely mirrored across the internet. The emails were accompanied by the anonymous statement: "We feel that climate science is, in the current situation, too important to be kept under wraps. We hereby release a random selection of correspondence, code and documents. Hopefully it will give some insight into the science and the people behind it." CONTINUE READING......
