CNN: 80% of New Hampshire Residents Who Voted In GOP Primary Say Ron Paul "Is Most Likely To Beat Obama"




Exit polling is often quite accurate, so much so that news organizations will often project a winner based on 5%-10% of the vote coupled with what voters are saying when leaving the polling stations.

If you were watching it live, you would have noticed that this particular graphic was pulled off the screen as fast it was put up. Quite curious that, considering the overwhelming nature of the results presented in the graphic, it wasn't mentioned again.

Considering that the media is owned by the proverbial establishment and Ron Paul is not favored by the status quo, it's actually not surprising at all that the media (or their corporate masters to be more precise) don't want this type of information being given to and digested by the American people.

I bet whoever put this graphic up got fired the next day.

Of course, this is all just my opinion.

SEED: Bombshell! New York Times, Jay Rosen, Clay Shirky Caught on Tape



Elite media -- self-admittedly corrupt and criminally negligent. It is undeniable proof of what we have been accusing the Times and all big media of. How the left is destroying America.
NYT Consultant and NYU Journalism professors of the self-identified media "elite" discuss strategy to legitimize Obama, help Occupy Wall Street, NPR tax loophole, defeating Perry and Bachmann. Jay Rosen says, "We are the one percent."
I've written previously about my views on the correlation between the bought-and-paid-for mainstream media, the corporate media, and the political establishment.
However, I am but one of numerous folks, from all walks of life, who share the same sentiment and understand how the western media is orchestrated and controlled not necessarily by current events taking place but by the financial and political elite.
Incidentally, as a freelance journalist I also attempted to call Mr. Jay Rosen to ask him about some of the comments made in the video, but after repeated attempts could only reach his voice mail.
No matter your view about the notion that the western media is controlled, the comments made by both prominent individuals on the video are suspect and deserve more attention and contemplation.

Time's Making Changes

It's certainly been a year of change for me and, as the coined phrase goes, so much has happened. On the other hand, some other things have been put on the back burner - like this blog.

Quite honestly, when I realized that, before yesterday, my last manual post to this blog happened back in January I was taken back especially considering it's now December. An entire year has passed and, although every now and then I've thought about making time for News Source it simply hasn't happened. I'm thankful for automated content, feeds, and original stories and commentary that remain relevant year round. Conversely and on a more positive note, I have managed to put time into my other online columns, such as my Newsvine column, and social media platforms and, to some extent, that's indirectly kept News Source fairly relevant and updated.

To be fair, this past year has brought a lot of changes into my life with sublime highs and exhausting lows, challenges that, in hindsight, have needed to happen at this stage in my life. Change has come to pass in all aspects of my life; personal, professional, and geographical. Having spent the past 15 years living and working on Canada's west coast in Vancouver, British Columbia, I moved back home to Southern Ontario, with my family, and that alone has been and still is in many respects a huge adjustment. In 2010, we experienced the joy of bringing a new baby daughter into our lives and, after much consideration, we decided that it might be best for her to have more family in her life. We were right in that respect as being around family, interacting with grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins has been immeasurably beneficial to our daughter. However, in a lot of other respects, adjusting has been somewhat more of a challenge.

Upon returning to Southern Ontario, Sarnia to be precise, I decided that, to become more involved with the local and regional scene, I wanted to start and put time into a new blog, with a more local flavor and appeal, and the result is SarniaBuzz. This is probably another reason that I've not focused on News Source. The new blog has already gained a substantial regional following through its multifaceted social media including SarniaBuzz on Twitter, SarniaBuzz on Newsvine, and an official self-titled blog.

Presently, with the current year being in the rear-view mirror and coming to a close, I am looking forward to 2012 and putting more time into all of my online projects, but especially toward this blog. News Source is my primary platform and has been for almost five years and, on that note, I have a lot of new story and commentary ideas that will undoubtedly continue the blog's tradition of providing premium, original content.

I'd like to thank everyone that's followed my work over the years and, more specifically, this blog since its inception. It's my solemn goal to keep those who already like my work in the fold by continuing to provide more interesting, well-written content about many topics and, by the same token, I hope my future efforts will help to attract more people to my work.

Inuit People: "Sun no longer sets in the right spot, the Stars are wrong"


I came across this video recently and found it to be quite intriguing. Apparently, the Inuit people, indigenous to the land and nature, believe that the Sun and Stars are no longer in their proper celestial positions. They believe that the land, sky, and environment have all changed and are no longer reliable when it comes to referencing one's position and travel.

Why is are these changes happening and should these changes indicate a bigger picture that we don't quite yet understand?

A lot of people have also said that these changes taking place are directly related to the end of the Mayan Long Count calendar that will happen on December 21, 2012.

If these evident changes aren't a harbinger of bigger things to unfold, then why are they taking place?

Enough Polarizing Political Speak, Barack Obama Has Affected A Better Economic Recovery Than Anyone Else Could Have, And Here's The Facts, Plain And Simple


"A free America... means just this: individual freedom for all, rich or poor, or else this system of government we call democracy is only an expedient to enslave man to the machine and make him like it." ~Frank Lloyd Wright

As we approach, yet, another major election cycle (well, that cycle has already left the station months ago, such is politics in this very polarized, but still great nonetheless, nation) in America, the pundits are out in droves, polarized speak is the only discussion in most circles, and people are gearing up, on both sides of the political spectrum, to say whatever they need to win whether or not what's being said is the truth. Welcome to politics in America, the great circus on Earth.

I am not going to make this too long, but my only intention, in this forum today, is to present a question that, hopefully, will spur some real debate and force proponents and opponents of Barack Obama alike to do some real soul searching when it comes to question of whether or not another 4 years of Mr. Obama is better for the nation than any of the alternatives currently in the pool.

I posed this same question to people in the comments section of another recent article, posted here by Jim Davis from Veterans For Change, but not one person could refute my argument and provide a solid response.

The problem I see happening at the moment, with a momentum that will surely continue to grow unless logic and reason is injected into the conversation, is that the GOP rank and file is centering a lot of their collective message, leading up to the pivotal election next year, on their view that Barack Obama has not performed adequately and almost anyone could have done a better job.  My response to that notion is that it is complete nonsense, utter hogwash. The GOP is banking on their ability to twist the message, throw folks off with respect to the actual record, and brainwash as many people as possible into believing their off-message, unsupported, unqualified rhetoric.  I believe that the America public is smarter than the Republican's give credit and, as such, putting the facts into perspective is more important than ever considering the critical times in which we all live. America is at another cross roads and the national cannot afford to make a mistake in 2012 by not giving this President another term.

Here it is in a nutshell. In my opinion, to do any better than Mr. Obama has (with respect to the economy among other things) in Washington and, more broadly, America today, it would have taken a magician and an army of wizards or, more realistically, an outright act of God in favor of another candidate.

Sadly but surely, Mr. Bush decimated the economy, among other things, and, believe it or not, we are doing as well as the realm of possibility could provide (at this time, so soon after Bush's devastation) considering how the state the economy was left after the last GOP administration. Categorically in my view, under no other leadership, on either side of the aisle, could we have been in better shape presently with respect to not only the economy, but on several fronts.

There's no question that the Republicans would have continued down the path Mr. Bush blazed and, accordingly, things would have gotten far worse post-election and over the ensuring three years. We would undoubtedly have the same old tax breaks for the wealthy elite, inadequate health care for millions (that now have it) would still exist (GOP would rather cull the population than give people better health care services), we'd not yet be winding down our military missions in the Middle East, and, most importantly to be considered, banks and corporations would still be coming before the people.

In my view, the Republican vision and agenda hasn't changed in centuries proverbially being that the rich should get richer, and the poor should get poorer.

Conversely, any other Democratic candidate would have taken a similar approach and path [to the economy] as Mr. Obama (and his advisers who would likely, at least in some significant cases, be part of any potential Democratic administration that might have unfolded in 2008) and, accordingly, we'd be in a similar position to the present - on the road to recovery.

Elect a Republican, Tea Partier, or Independent candidate for President and the nation will indeed reach new lows with diminishing levels of prosperity and prominence. If Mr. Obama is elected again (or a Democrat with similar policies and views), I wholeheartedly believe that the economy, at the very least and among other things, will fully recover by the end of his second term.

One of the central reasons that none of the GOP candidates are resonating with the voters at large (and why Mr. Obama will indeed win a second term and validation of his policies) is because all any of them have managed to succeed at (with their collectively weak message) is bashing the president's policies without ever offering solutions or expressly qualifying their criticisms with how they would have handled matters differently.

To be clear, not only do I believe that no other candidate that presently exists, Republican, Democrat or Independent alike, would have stewarded a better economic recovery (or made more positive all around change for that matter), but I will take my assertion one big step further and challenge anyone here (on Newsvine), or from any politically active person, group or committee, or, wishfully thinking on my part, that is actively a candidate presently running against the policies of Mr. Obama in 2012 (on any government level) to credibly refute these views.

Does anyone here really think things would have been better under Mr. McCain or Mr. Romney? How about Mrs. Clinton (she would have fostered similar policies to what we see presently)?

Let's have a discussion, folks, about this topic without the rhetoric, one-liners, and polarizing speak that never leads to a resolution of concept and ideology. I want to learn more and, if I'm wrong about my opinions, please let me know.

Any intelligent, thoughtful rebuttal should include not only what needs to be done now and going forward (differently from Mr. Obama's policies), but also explain what strikingly different direction should have been taken in 2008, with respect to the economy, that would have seen us in a far better position than at present, with a robust, economy that would have seen more people back to work (than what's been accomplished under Mr. Obama). If anyone can come up with a credible rebuttal, then please convey your ideas in this forum and consider offering your services to a Republican candidate because we all know and it's quite evident that they're struggling with their convoluted message and need the fresh input.

"Meat Glue": The Meat Industry's Repulsive, Dirty Big Secret


This white powder sold by the kilo, is the meat industry's dirty little secret. It's called "meat glue." It makes pieces of beef, lamb, chicken or fish that would normally be thrown out stick together so closely that it looks like a solid piece of meat.

Restaurants and butchers  can now sell their scraps as premium meat. Good way to use them up – and charge premium prices for them too. Best of all, you don’t have to tell the customer. Once the glued meat is cooked, even professional butchers can’t tell the difference.

“Meat glue” is transglutaminase, an enzyme in powder form, derived from beef and pork blood plasma. See the Wikipedia description of it here. Chefs most commonly use the Activa RM brand, which is transglutaminase mixed with maltodextrine and sodium caseinate, a milk protein.  Using enzymes in food isn’t a new technique. Papaya seed is the main ingredient in meat tenderizers, for example. Rennet and yeasts produce enzymes that make cheese and alcohol, too. Natural enzymes. Meat glue is a darker product altogether.

This video has cast yet another negative shadow over an already distrusted, unappetizing industry. This product can apparently can be adapted for use with any type of meat, not just beef. In a world of bio-engineered food, is it really necessary for these companies to do this to our meat, our sustenance, and call it prime cuts, all the while lying to us.

Canadian Federal Election Only Days Away, Shocking Video Surfaces Depicting Incumbent Prime Minister Stephen Harper As A Buffoon Who Doesn't Know His Own Policies


While Canada's federal election is looming and only days away, this video surfaced that, in my view, speaks volumes about the nation's incumbent Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

He comes off as out of touch and incoherent on issues and "sound bites" that he should already have down having been in office for over three long years.

He also appears to have more trouble speaking than G.W. Bush and often trails off into oblivion, repeating the same words over and over almost in classic OCD fashion.

At one point, he mistakenly conveys the truth that he plans to raise taxes before abruptly being corrected by his handlers.

If this video is any indication of the real Stephen Harper, Canadians have a lot to worry about.

The Global Economy, Especially that of the United States, Can Never Recover From The Current Financial Crisis and Here's Precisely Why

According to international investigative journalist Daniel Estulin, the following quote came directly from a high-placed member of the infamous Bilderberg group during their 2009 annual conference held, that year, in Greece. Accordingly, this sentiment was said to represent a broad consensus of those who attended the conference. Estulin's sources, which have been proven accurate in the past, said the group was divided on whether to put into motion, “Either a prolonged, agonizing depression that dooms the world to decades of stagnation, decline and poverty … or an intense-but-shorter depression that paves the way for a new sustainable economic world order, with less sovereignty but more efficiency."

It's been several years since the global economy was considered to be strong, at least in the minds of an unsuspecting public that trusts their government, and the setbacks and misfortunes suffered by, not only the U.S. economy, but essentially the world's doesn't seem to be getting to much better. Sure, it doesn't seem like we're on the brink of fiscal disaster anymore, but make no mistake that, under the circumstances, the global economy will never be strong again in a fashion that truly benefits the people rather than just the government and corporations. That might be skeptical, but consider the facts.

The world financial system is a total fraud that's been deliberately perpetrated against all the people of the world. It is one huge Ponzi scheme, no better than the one Bernie Madoff used to swindle his friends and neighbors, and thousands of times worse if you add up the total number of victims 'the system' has ripped off over numerous generations. Compared to the international 'banksters', Mr. Madoff is, for all intents and purpose, a people's saint.
The primary difference between the two schemes is that Madoff was acting outside the law while the international banking cartel has persuaded generation after generation of monarchs, presidents and prime ministers to provide legislative protection for their repeated, criminal larceny.
The bank's Ponzi scheme is alarmingly simple, yet immensely effective. They lend the same money to several people or institutions at the same time and collect interest on it from each party. What the banks really lend, however, is their credit, and what they take back in compensation for that privilege is a debt that must be repaid with interest.
The number of times they lend the same money is known as 'leverage'. The practice is as old as religion but for our purposes we can start with when the goldsmiths of Lombard Street in London, England, began accepting deposits for which they issued certificates redeemable on demand. They paid their depositors a nominal interest rate on the understanding that they could lend the money to their customers at much higher interest rates. They soon found that they could lend more than they had in their vaults because only a few depositors came in to redeem their gold or silver at any one time. The scam begins...
Nevertheless they got away with it for a long time and eventually the scam was made legitimate when the Bank of England was chartered to help King William finance his war. The 'wealthy elite' invested £1,200,000 in gold and silver, as seed capital, to found the bank, which then was lent to the government at 8 percent. To show his appreciation, the good King allowed the bank to print £1,200,000 in banknotes and lend them at high interest rates. In essence, the bank was allowed to lend the same money twice – once to the government and once to the people.
Over the years, due to the close-fistedness on the part of the banks and the stark complicity of the willing politicians, their 'leverage' has increased significantly and dramatically. In the early days of the 20th century, federal chartered U.S. banks were required to keep gold reserves of 25 percent. That meant that they were allowed to lend the same money four times. In Canada, there was a time when Canadian banks were required to keep on hand a cash reserve of 8 percent which meant they were allowed to lend the same money a staggering 12 1/2 times.
Today, thanks to Milton Friedman’s drastic change of heart from being a proponent of 100% cash reserves to the opposite extreme of zero reserves, and the adoption of his ideas by the major central banks of the world in 1974, multiples have increased dramatically – in some cases to as much as 20 to 1 or more. Banks only keep enough cash on hand to meet day-today demands for those few customers who go in and request it, and consequently the fraud is virtually total.
Here's an example of how the system actually works nowadays. Consider that you want to borrow $20K to buy a new vehicle. You would proceed to visit your friendly neighborhood banker and request a personal loan. The banker will ask you for collateral, such as stocks, bonds, a second mortgage on your house, or alternatively, if you are unable to put up adequate assurance, a co-signature of a financially stable friend or relative is also a viable option. Once the collateral requirement is met you will then be asked to sign a note for the principal amount with an agreed upon rate of interest. Once the paperwork is completed, and the note signed, your banker will make an entry on the bank’s computer and, out of thin air, a $20K credit will appear in your bank account. The critical point is that just moments earlier the money that was 'loaned' did not exist and was literally created out of thin air with the stroke of a key.
Banking, for all intents and purposes, is a complicated, troubled system of double-entry accounting where your note becomes an asset on the bank’s books, and the new money that was deposited to your account is a liability or instrument of debt. The bank's profit comes from the difference between the lower rate of interest, if any, you would be paid on your deposit if you didn’t spend the borrowed money immediately, and the much higher rate you would be required to pay on your note. Banks call this term 'the spread'.
At some point, however, you have to pay off your loan as well as any interest owing on the debt. Not only you, in fact, but everyone else who has borrowed the same “money” from banks and this roster includes governments which, incidentally, own the exclusive right to print money but that have irresponsibly handed the right over to an elite group of private banksters. Deafult is not an option in this new world of finance. Not even the government is immune to these influences. Accordingly, individuals or entities who default will have their assets pledged as collateral duly seized by the bank. A government that is in danger of defaulting is often forced to borrow from the International Monetary Fund, which will then tell that government how to run its affairs including cutting back on services and selling off public assets to the international vulture capitalists. This is a perfect example of how the saying that 'money controls the world' comes into play.
In reality, then, the banks have turned the world into one giant loan-sharking organization. You pawn your stocks, bonds, house, business, or country, and the banks will give you a loan based on the value of the collateral. A world system where all the money is created as debt is a perpetual catastrophe in the making and can't possibly end on a good note. It is like an protracting balloon that the banks pump full of debt. The balloon gets more and more immense until the debt load becomes too heavy to burden, and the balloon bursts. The financial system crashes and thousands or even millions of innocent people lose their jobs, homes, businesses, and, in some cases, the will to move forward.
The broad damage spurred on from the recent financial calamity has been staggering, relentless, and life-altering to a lot of hard-working people. The U.S. Bureau of Labor estimated that 8.4 million jobs have been lost in the U.S. alone over the past three years. Most countries around the world experienced similar profound losses, some worse and some not quite as bad. The reduction in the value of assets worldwide has been estimated at $25 trillion U.S. dollars or more, yet not one single person has served time, nor has any banks or corporations been held to account. It's astounding that a system so vulnerable to manipulation would ever have come into existence in the first place, but it did. To be sure, the evolution of the global financial crisis did not happen by accident. Many people believe that the entire situation has been engineered by the likes of George Soros and the rarely-visible Rockefeller family. Further, these parties, along with Scottish born Adam Smith, all joined forces in the early 1950s and established the super-secretive, global steering committee that's become known as the Bilderberg group. This is an elitist organization that still meet annually while the mainstream media ignores their existence.
The long term repercussions of the banking cartel is incalculable, but their end game is obvious and exploits every single industrial nation on the planet. The biggest coup perpetrated, to date, by the wealthy elitist banksters was the establishment of the Federal Reserve System in the United States. The existing banking establishment really didn't like the idea of real competition, so a small group held a secret meeting at the private resort of J.P. Morgan on Jekyll Island, off the coast of Georgia, to devise a new deception to shove down the public's throat. Their scheme, subsequently adopted and passed by Congress, amounts to no less than a legal private monopoly of the U.S. money supply operated for the benefit of the few under the guise of protecting and promoting the public interest.
It's even more mind-boggling to consider the skill and tenacity of the international bankers in that they were able to draft a bill, revise it, change its name, and make some final compromises to get it adopted by Congress just before Christmas when many Representatives weren't even in attendance due to the holiday season. At that time, only Charles Lindberg Sr. seemed to understand the essence of what was happening. He said, "To put it frankly, the Congress transferred its sovereign constitutional right to create money to the sole, exclusive custody of a group of private bankers."
Former Democratic whip William Jennings Bryan also once said, after the fact, “In my long political career, the one thing I genuinely regret is my part in getting the banking and currency legislation enacted into law. (Federal Reserve Act of 1913)”
President Woodrow Wilson, just three years after passage of the Federal Reserve Act, also forwarded his opinion and wrote, “A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated (in the Federal Reserve System). The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world.”
Despite the high-level protests, the bill was never repealed and almost 100 years later the sell-out legislation is still the law of the land. It's even more strange that anyone who expresses any dissenting views about the federal reserve is quickly shot down and labelled a 'conspiracy nut'. Not only did these nefarious few pull the proverbial wool over everyone's eyes, but they went one step further by indoctrinating the public into thinking the current system is legitimate.
The people in charge of the original deception were very prolific in their planning. They cleverly realized that when future governments had to borrow from them they would need a constant income stream to pay the interest on the bonds. So they persuaded the government to introduce income taxes, first as a temporary measure, but later permanently, so it would be able to meet its obligations to the bondholders. In fiscal year 2005 total individual income taxes in the U.S. totalled $927 billion. Of that staggering amount $352 billion, or 38%, was required just to pay interest on the federal debt.
The banksters, as they were often labelled, then decided that an independent press might eventually catch on to their surreptitiousness nature. Something had to be done and new plan was hatched. Callaway is reported in the Congressional Record of February 9, 1917, making the following statement:
“In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interests, and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world, and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press of the United States. They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. The 25 papers were agreed upon; emissaries were sent to purchase the policy, national and international, of these papers; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers [and to suppress] everything in opposition to the wishes of the interests served.”
Baron Stamp, a former director of the Bank of England, once gave us a rare snapshot of reality when he said, “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 a flick of the pen they will create enough money to buy it back again. However, take that power 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.”
In the most recent financial downturn of 2007/2008, the Federal Reserve acted fast, shoring up support from both sides of the political spectrum, to prevent the bankster's Ponzi pyramid from disintegrating completely. Their solution was to literally print trillions of dollars to bail out the banks and a few more critical industries that were highly indebted to banks.
But, what did the Federal Reserve do for the taxpayers, the real people, whose money was so uncontrollably adulterated to save the banks and corporations? To most people, the answer is absolutely nothing. The sad truth is that millions of people lost their jobs, their farms, their houses, their businesses, their hopes and dreams, and their dignity as a result of dire circumstances beyond their control. Taxpayers trusted the Fed and rescued the banks but got absolutely nothing in return. The same is true of governments who came so quickly to the rescue in that as a result of the meltdown, revenues were decreased so they were forced to incur or increase their deficits, as well as to start cutting back on essential services. This is no way to manage the economy, but this is exactly what's happening in the present with no end in sight to the madness.
It’s all part of the boom and bust cycle inherent in our infinitely defective, slanted monetary system set up to benefit the few and damn the rest.

Soylent Brown? McFeces? Scientist Converts 'Human Secretion' and 'Raw Sewage' Into Meat for Human Consumption


I ran across this video today and it completely disgusted me, almost thought it was a joke. It wasn't.

It's common knowledge that population growth along with human-driven environmental stress factors, rising costs of raw materials, labor, transportation and food, and the massive quantity food production (and inherent waste of food) will one day result in global food shortages.

Skyrocketing food prices are hitting pocketbooks worldwide. The world’s poorest countries which have the highest population bases are most at-risk as core food supplies become scarce. Worldwide grain supplies are dropping precipitously. Exporting nations are now themselves running out of grain.

The argument to be made is that food is not as abundant or cost-effective as it once was and, accordingly taking into account all of the given factors, the future of food availability is ambiguous to say the very least. Sure, many solutions have been and are currently being floated by scientists, the government, and media, but unless real, tangible action is taken sooner than later, we may have a real global problem one day.

Having said that, this scientist thinks he has a solution - feces burgers to be exact.

We live on a planet capable of feeding all of its inhabitants, but because of humanity's greed and over consumption we face a future that might include, literally, eating @!$%# (pardon my language but why beat around the bush?).

Watch this video and think about it the next time you order a burger.

Does Thermal Depolymerization Signal the End of Foreign Oil Reliance?

Thermal depolymerization (TDP) is a depolymerization process using hydrous pyrolysis for the reduction of complex organic materials (usually waste products of various sorts, often biomass and plastic) into light crude oil. It mimics the natural geological processes thought to be involved in the production of fossil fuels. Under pressure and heat, long chain polymers of hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon decompose into short-chain petroleum hydrocarbons with a maximum length of around 18 carbons.
The above is an excerpt from Wikipedia. This process caught my attention when I saw the video on YouTube. At the first glance, the process seems amazing and a potential answer to North America's reliance on foreign oil sources. After doing some independent research on the subject, I found that, like with anything new, there's a lot of opinions on this matter both positive and negative. Some opponents of the technology argue that the process isn't cost-effective enough to be the solution we're looking for with respect to Green Energy. However, it would also seem to me that, if this process is a answer to energy needs, the oil companies (and the government being pressured by industry lobbyists) would not want this technology to go mainstream because it would cut into their profits and, ultimately, destroy (or replace) the current oil industry altogether.

25 Adult Principles To Live By

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” -Howard Thurman
Every so often I come across other people's work that, for one reason or another, really strikes a chord with me and, sometimes, I feel that certain works deserve a bit more of spotlight.
One person that I find to have a really interesting take on life and issues, generally speaking, is a writer, musician, and scholar by the name of John Perry Barlow. Quite some years ago, he wrote what he refers to as his 25 adult principles to live by and, without question, these are values that, if they were universally accepted and adhered to, could help humanity achieve a very different world than what we now have.
On that note and since these values have had very little publication (in an organized listed fashion) since they were originally conceived, I have decided to diverge from my normal topics and re-publish this list of values today.
1. Be patient. No matter what.
2. Don't badmouth: Assign responsibility, not blame. Say nothing of another you wouldn't say to them.
3. Never assume that motives of other are, to them, less noble than yours are to you.
4. Expand your sense of what's possible.
5. Don't trouble yourself with matters you truly cannot change.
6. Don't ask more of others than you can deliver yourself.
7. Tolerate ambiguity.
8. Laugh at yourself frequently.
9. Concern yourself with what is right rather than who is right.
10. Try not to forget that, no matter how certain, you might be wrong.
11. Give up blood sports.
12. Remember that your life belongs to other as well. Don't risk it frivolously.
13. Never lie to anyone for any reason. (Lies of omission are sometimes exempt).
14. Learn the needs of those around you and respect them.
15. Avoid the pursuit of happiness. Seek to define your mission and pursue that.
16. Reduce your use of the first personal pronoun.
17. Praise at least as often you disparage.
18. Admit your errors freely and quickly.
19. Become less suspicious of joy.
20. Understand humility.
21. Remember that love forgives everything.
22. Foster dignity.
23. Live memorably.

REPOST: New Facts about Planet X, the Earth's Rotation and Global Warming

As we get closer to 2012 and approach the end of the infamous Mayan calendar, our global society is being inundated with warnings and innuendo from all directions about what might happen on December 21, 2012. Researchers have come forward, movies have been made, and prominent people like Jesse Ventura are making documentaries on the subject. But folks, it's always important to keep things in perspective, especially when you're talking about the end of the world. The truth of the matter is that nobody really knows what's going to happen, but nonetheless reports from the media and expert researchers in the field have successfully managed and continue to fuel the imaginations of millions of people (from around the world) that either the end is near or, at the very least, something terrible is going to happen.

Having said that, I wrote an article in 2007 that, by many accounts, is one of the most well researched papers on the subject and at this time, as we approach the time of prophecy 4 years after my original article, I felt it was time and relevant, now more than ever, to re-post the article as a means to keep things in perspective and separate science fiction from science fact.  This article has been available since that time in its original form on the website Michael Bourne's The Book Of THoTH and right here on News Source (local article link).

This article was first published on my first (and now offline) blog Disinformation Today, then re-posted on this blog Joe Burd's News Source upon its inception.  Currently, you can still see it in its original hypertext form here or on a a recent re-posting of it in my Newsvine column, Xziled, with recent comments and dialogue from the perspective of being in a time-frame that is less than two years away from the infamous date, December 21, 2012.

Did you know that the United States has been bankrupt, its government has ceased to exist since 1933?

"The trade of the petty usurer is hated with most reason: it makes a profit from currency itself, instead of making it from the process which currency was meant to serve. Their common characteristic is obviously their sordid avarice." -- Aristotle

While researching documents for a new story [about what may very well be considered the "bigger picture" to this particular report], it occurred to me that most people don't know it but the United States of America has been financially bankrupt and operating under, what's referred to as, the Emergency Banking Act since March 9, 1933.

Let me repeat myself and be absolutely clear. The United States is a bankrupt nation and the constitutional government has ceased to exist since the Emergency Bankruptcy Act was passed and implemented seven decades ago. Further, the nation's bankruptcy has enslaved it and its people to the international bankers primarily through official bodies that include the IMF, World Bank, Federal Reserve (in the United States), and United Nations. Don't feel too bad though because, essentially, every single member nation of the so-called "free world" has fallen into similar financially insolvent circumstances over the past century. The truth is that this has happened deliberately and by design, and the planning has been underway since the dawn of the 20th century.

This isn't the stuff conspiracies are made of folks, but rather cold, hard facts. And, make no mistake that this information is significant, relevant and, in deed, directly impacts the way people might or should think about their individual sovereignty and the federal government itself. However, and more importantly in these times of global economic turbulence and uncertainty, this information might open a lot of eyes and minds with respect to the world's true state of affairs. If you consider the actual precarious nature of our position as a nation (and that of most nations around the world), it becomes evident that regardless of what governments and political parties promise, undertake, maneuver or implement, there's no real solution to the world's current financial woes. At least not one that won't completely upset and destroy the way of life for millions of people around the world including the world's most wealthiest folks.

It's not usually my style to digress so early in a piece, but it wouldn't be fair to mention the "bigger picture" without giving a little bit more detail. What could be bigger than finding out your country is bankrupt and your federal government hasn't been a Constitutional, financially functional government for almost 70 years? How about the fact that, since the implementation of the Emergency Banking Act and then the subsequent suspension of using gold as a monetary standard on June 5, 1933, every single one of us has been sold into economic slavery by our own federal government and, obviously, without our knowledge, individual consent, or complicity in any way, shape or form.

In short, the moment we entered into bankruptcy as a nation and had to begin operating on borrowed time and money from international coffers and lenders, the United States fell under the thumb of the international bankers and, from that point onward, people were considered nothing more than monetized instruments or tradable commodities on the world financial stage. Upon registration at birth, our birth certificate and social security number applications are essentially monetized and used to create two different implied or constructive trusts that are then traded going forward as security interests for international commerce as if they were money or negotiable instruments. Having made the aforesaid assertions with respect to the use of people as commodities connected to tangible international trust fund accounts, it's my intention to provide the evidence, practical information, and due diligence resources necessary for people to thoroughly understand the issues and investigate the prospect of ultimately taking back control of these personal trusts. Obviously and for good reason (from their perspective), the government doesn't want people to know about this history or take steps to better understand the issues. That's why much of this information includes some very new concepts to a lot of people including many of those that hold legal positions such as judges, lawyers, and even many constitutional scholars.

However, and although the latter topic has probably peaked the interest of most people reading, it's important to understand some of the events that led to our economic slavery including the topic at hand being the bankruptcy of the United States, the dissolution of the constitutional government, and what specifically led to the greatest nation on the planet having to declare bankruptcy less than 150 years after becoming a sovereign country.

First and foremost, let's firmly and indisputably establish the fact that the United States entered into bankruptcy and gave up its rights as a sovereign nation in 1933. On March 1, 1993 (Congressional record VOL. 33, page H-1303) Rep. James Traficant, Jr. (Ohio) reported on the Bankruptcy of the United States to the House of Representatives without prejudice the following:

"Mr. Speaker, we are now in chapter 11.. Members of Congress are official trustees presiding over the greatest reorganization of any Bankrupt entity in world history, the U.S. Government. We are setting forth hopefully, a blueprint for our future. There are some who say it is a coroner's report that will lead to our demise.

It is an established fact that the United States Federal Government has been dissolved by the Emergency Banking Act, March 9, 1933, 48 Stat. 1, Public Law 89-719; Declared by President Roosevelt, being bankrupt and insolvent. H. J. R. 192, 73rd Congress in session June 5, 1933, Joint Resolution to Suspend The Gold Standard and Abrogate The Gold Clause dissolved the Sovereign Authority of the United States and the official capacities of all United State Federal Government exists today in name only.

The receivers of the Untied States Bankruptcy are the International Bankers, via the United Nations, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund. All United States Offices, Officials, and Departments are now operating within a defacto status in name only under Emergency War Powers. With the Constitutional Republican form of Government now dissolved, the receivers of the Bankruptcy have adopted a new form of government for the United States. This new form of government is known as a Democracy, being an established Socialist/Communist order under a new governor of America. This act was instituted and established by transferring and/or placing the Office of the Secretary of Treasury to that of the Governor for the International Monetary Fund.
"

These are some pretty strong words that go against most people's very understanding of government and, just like modern day libertarians like Ron Paul, Rep. Traficant was often shunned by his peers for speaking the truth and putting the nation before the bankers and special interests. Despite the against-the-grain nature of this Representative's remarks on record, everything that he said and asserted is not only absolutely true but can easily be checked, referenced, and verified in today's society of easily available information.

It was a lot easier when everything was based on a nation's tangible holdings of gold and silver, but that system didn't work for the bankers who had, just a few decades earlier, established the Federal Reserve.  Gold and silver were very powerful financial instruments during the founding of the United States of America and, for that reason, the founding fathers declared that only gold and silver coins can be money in America.  However, since gold and silver coinage was heavy and inconvenient for many transactions, they were stored in banks and a claim check was issued as a money substitute.  People traded their coupons as "currency".  Currency is not money, but a money substitute.  Redeemable currency must promise to pay a dollar equivalent in gold or silver.  Since 1933, Federal Reserve Notes (FRN's) make no such promises, and are not "money".  A Federal Reserve Note is a debt obligation of the federal United States government, not currency.  The federal United States government and the U.S. Congress are not and have never been authorized by the Constitution of the United States of America to issue currency of any kind, but only lawful money based on gold and silver.

It's very important and critical to understand the difference between the pre-1933 and post-1933 financial systems, or more accurately the difference between real money and paper money substitutes.  A person can no longer get rich by accumulating money substitutes; one can only get deeper into debt.  Money no longer exists.  Most Americans haven't been paid any real money in almost seven decades and, having said that, it's no mystery why people always feel broke and financially destitute.

Essentially, Federal Reserve Notes are unsigned checks written on a closed account.  FRN's are an inflatable paper system designed to create debt through inflation or the devaluation of currency.  Whenever there's an increase in the supply of money substitute in the economy without a corresponding increase in the gold and silver backing, inflation occurs.  This is why so many people are afraid that, in the long run, the recent stimulus bills will only contribute to a possible collapse of the current financial system, at home and abroad.

Inflation is actually an invisible form of taxation that misguided governments inflict on their people.  The Federal Reserve Bank who controls the supply and movement of FRN's has everybody fooled.  The Federal Reserve has access to an unlimited supply of FRN's, paying only for printing costs.  The FRN's are nothing more than promissory notes for U.S. Treasury securities that promise to pay a given debt to the Federal Reserve Bank.

It's also important to note that there's a significant, fundamental difference between "paying" and "discharging" a debt.  To pay a debt, you must pay with value or substance, but with FRN's you only discharge a debt.  You can't pay a debt with a debt currency system in place and that's exactly what we've had since 1933.

A fair question is to ask simply, why?  Why would our government deliberately force the nation into it's current insolvent position and what's the real implications.  The Federal Reserve Bank, the Emergency Banking Act, and the suspension of the gold standard, were all orchestrated to achieve the greater goal of absolute control of the masses by money.

Now, when you're contemplating the world's state of affairs, keep the real facts in clear sight and mind.  Our leaders have to be honest with us before a real solution can be found.  Ultimately, there's no question that we need to return to a monetary standard that involves tangible assets and commodities, but until that happens our leaders will continue lying to us, implementing band-aid solutions, and destroying the global economy.  The only way to start making a difference is to learn more about these topics and, through better understanding, we can all start demanding better from our government and holding them accountable.

Joe Burd's Xziled Newsvine Column

I just wanted to leave a quick note about my new column on Newsvine.com.  I have been an author on Newsvine for almost four years, but recently due to a difference in views between the news site and myself they decided to rescind my original, more established account.

As I result, I've had to start from scratch again with my column.

On that note, since Newsvine reaches so many people I've decided to ignore the setback for my original column and make my new one even better and busier.  Two little things that really help with respect to making a Newsvine column broadly successful are votes and comments.  If you like my stories and want to support my work, please register an account at Newsvine and make sure that you at least vote for the stories you enjoy and, whenever possible, leave some comments!

As much as I love investigative journalism and, more broadly, writing, I also really love and appreciate my readers, those of you that always follow my work and enjoy what I do.  As long as people keep reading my stories, I'll keep writing them.

Thank you so much for all of your interest and support.

High Tech Next-Generation Muffler Cuts Toxic Emissions 97%, Improves Gas Mileage 20%

An innovative U.S. green technology company, with its main office located in Vancouver, Canada, has developed and owns the world-wide patents to, including Canada, United States, and Taiwan, a sophisticated new automotive muffler system that looks like a regular muffler, has no additional material or automobile-related installation costs, reduces vehicle emissions by an incredible 97% and remarkably, according to the inventor, improves gasoline mileage by 20%.

If society wants cleaner air and better gas mileage at a time of record highs in both respects, there's no choice then but to search out solutions and shine a spotlight on what we find.

There's absolutely no question that hot-button issues like pollution and, more specifically, the environment are major concerns that have captured major attention in recent decades and require significant, proactive next-generation solutions. Government bodies and environmental institutions all over the world are addressing these problems every day in principle and, more frequently in recent years, through legislation and international agreements.

In 1968 when John J. Mooney and Carl D. Keith invented the catalytic converter perhaps not even they could imagine that today their eco-invention would be not only standard, but also mandated in automobiles across the planet. This new muffler technology is the next logical step and the only tangible, cost-effective solution to solving the problem of pollution produced by internal combustion engines. It's also a sophisticated tool in fighting rising gas prices because this muffler will directly improve fuel mileage by 20%.

Millions of dollars have already been spent on research, development and testing, by the parent company, and the result is a 4th-generation end-user product, called the Auto Emissions Post Regulator. It’s passed rigid feasibility and effectiveness tests by government bodies and other relevant organizations in North America, costs no more to install than an industrial-era muffler, ongoing maintenance is about the same as a typical oil change, and the unit cuts toxic emissions from the internal combustion engine by 97% while increasing oxygen by several percentage points.

In Canada, numerous politicians and leaders, from Premiers to Members of Legislative Assembly and leaders of industry, have already shown significant interest in this new muffler technology as an important tool to reducing toxic emissions globally. Senior U.S. Senators' Dick Durban and Chris Dodd, both with reputations of supporting environmental initiatives, have also studied the technology and provided AD Capital U.S., Inc., the parent company, with letters of support. In 2005, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger commented that this technology and others like it must be implemented if California's smog problem is to be solved. The Governor also provided the company with a written letter reinforcing his personal interest in any type of feasible emissions-reduction technology.

Personally, this technology struck me so much that I wanted to learn more it and find out what this company is all about and what other types of technologies it might also be concocting in their coastal laboratories. Since I'm largely based in Vancouver and the company's main office is located in nearby Burnaby, Canada, I was fortunate enough to spend some time with the people that make everything tick and, frankly, what I learned was nothing less than outstanding.

The presentation of the muffler technology captivated me from the first moment and continued to make an impression as the demonstration proceeded. The exterior of the unit is the same size and has the same basic dimensions as a standard automotive muffler and it attaches to a vehicle also in an identical manner. However, its uniqueness becomes evident by its pioneering sleek body design that smoothly integrates standard architecture with a clip-on/clip-off easy-maintenance chamber that filters and stores the toxic carbon emissions. Similarly to changing your car's oil a couple times a year, a driver using this muffler technology would have its filter changed twice a year (depending on make and type of vehicle) and, since units will all be proprietorially recycled, the driver's filter-change cost could cost less than an oil change. The demonstration model used at the company's state-of-the-art facility on Canada's beautiful west coast has been modified to allow the shell itself to open so that the inside can be viewed in action.

The muffler has three separate, distinct chambers that all serve a separate function. The first reduces noise like a regular muffler, the second uses a patented purple-luminous ultra-violet laser to literally separate the toxic gases from oxygen content, and the third is the actual storage chamber that needs bi-annual maintenance.

Another astounding aspect of the AEPR technology is that it efficiently harnesses heat coming from the engine and converts it into usable energy that's used to power the muffler's filtering system. When asked if this technology will work in the winters months, especially in places that reach -40 degrees Celsius, Mr. Golic explained that as long as the engine can start the heat-energy transfer system will function properly. Apparently, the 5th-generation model of this eco-friendly muffler, currently in the final phases of pre-production development, will improve this heat-energy transfer process to allow the muffler to provide the vehicle's critical systems with emergency power if necessary.

AD Capital's President and chief decision-maker, Ady Golic, is a successful businessman with entrepreneurial experience in many countries around the world including Europe, Australia, United States and Canada. Through his many successful endeavors, Mr. Golic has gained invaluable business and marketing contacts in the United States, Indonesia and Australia. Mr. Golic brings crucial strategic planning skills and corporate direction expertise to AD Capital and, through his leadership, exemplifies a subtle guarantee that this company is going places.

Tom Tary, a former engineer for the U.S. Navy Civil Engineering Corps graduated from the British Columbia Institute of Technology in 1973. His commitment to environmental protection and energy efficiency led to his invention of the Energy Sourcing Power Supply, a patented technology useful for improving the efficiency of electrical distribution systems. Mr. Tary, a pioneering inventor that's made a habit of making history, collaborated with Mr. Golic in the invention process of the AEPR technology. He has more then 30-years of technical and innovative product development experience and possesses expertise in materials, processes, chemistry and physics. Mr. Tary is responsible for all of the R&D of AD Capital and is instrumental in developing the proprietary processes that comprise the AEPR. He spends 100% of his available work time on the affairs of the company.

In a candid conversation with Mr. Golic, he hinted at some of the additional technologies that are currently being prepared for production and open market and, in his usual compelling, very dead-pan manner, described as a patented Perpetual Battery System.

Mr. Golic quietly explained that this innovative technology utilizes two separate batteries that work in conjunction with an innovative mechanical charging system that is used to provide a constant and perpetual source of portable energy. A mobile phone, laptop, digital camera or any other portable electronic device (PED) that is equipped with this technology operates under the power of the first battery until it's drained, and then the sophisticated regulatory functions of the charging system switches the source of power seamlessly to the second battery. This proprietary process also triggers the proprietary internal generator and this is, according to Mr. Golic, the key to this patented, pioneering technology. Amazingly, this symbiotic-charging system is capable of recharging the first battery well before the second is exhausted, then once back on the power of the first battery the entire process begins in reverse, providing a virtually permanent, uninterrupted source of power. Mr. Golic stressed that, despite the amazing properties of this battery system, it is not "perpetual motion" or something that is beyond today's capabilities, but rather a new way of creating renewable energy.

Nonetheless and the battery system aside, it's my firm belief as a journalist and technology buff that this innovative company is on track to becoming an international phenom and market leader in the world-wide fight to reduce toxic emissions from automobiles. Further, and unlike a lot of green technologies that never make it to market because of proactive resistance from the establishment, this emissions reduction technology compliments existing architecture and fuel commodities and should be welcomed and embraced by today's contemporary political and industry leaders.

Lastly, not only is this technology cost-effective but it will save consumers and industry a substantial amount of money in the short and long term because it also, according to some test results, helps improves mileage by a significant 20%. Apparently, according to the inventor and some third-party field tests, the muffler's heat-exchange technology reduces engine heat significantly enough to make a difference in fuel consumption.

It also needs to be noted and, for all intents and purposes, should go without saying, that this review of technology and, more broadly speaking, the company AD Capital, has been compiled from and based on my own first-hand experiences, hours of painstaking due diligence, a review of public records and relevant patents and, most remarkably, through contact and exploratory correspondence with the company's robust legal advisory in British Columbia, Nevada and Texas. Sure this company has went through its share of ups and downs, changes in management and direction, but evolution and growing pains are common in any business, especially when it comes to emerging new technology sectors. Accordingly, AD Capital U.S., Inc., is the current official conduit, proprietor and only vendor of this amazing technology and, essentially, the rebirth of several prior incarnations that have, cumulatively speaking, paved the road for everything successful that's happening today. Today, the company has an amazing leadership at the helm, no financial encumbrances and full legal ownership of all of the technologies under its umbrella.

It should also be said that, as a professional journalist, this company and technology review has been written from a completely neutral, research-based point-of-view. Further, my only intention in writing about this important topic is because we need environmental solutions and these people can deliver the goods.

According to Mr. Golic, the company is presently negotiating and lobbying for legislation in 28 countries including Canada, US and Europe. Officials on both continents are actively testing the new mufflers on vehicles and AD Capital, using its own in-house lobbyists, is proactively pushing for legislative mandates throughout North America that support this patented technology's inevitable deployment in, at the very least, new automobiles coming off the line. Since this muffler is scalable, we might also see older cars with the technology as time passes.


The company also has a beautifully designed, superbly user-friendly and highly informative website to represent their interests on the internet. The company's flash-enabled site includes full animated and video sequences that demonstrate and thoroughly explain the technology, previous emission test results, letters of interest and, in some cases, endorsement from political leaders, the company's audited financial history and current business plan, history of previous generations of the muffler and a preview into what's next for the 5th-generation models.

Two proverbial thumbs up to this company and the technology it's developing that will undoubtedly improve life on our planet, generate new jobs around the world, and have an incredible, significant impact on consumers and industry.

If you're interested in learning more about the company first-hand or getting involved in helping bring this technology to the world, friendly representatives from AD Capital can easily be reached through their website.

New Facts about Planet X, the Earth's Rotation & Global Warming

Interestingly enough, although I'm quite interested in numerous issues and topics including this particular subject, the idea to write this article came while researching my next major editorial series on Jean Keating's Prison Treatise and certificated monetary birth rights inherent to people all over the world, especially those in North America and Europe. Aside from being touted as one of the greatest legal minds of the past century in broad circles, Jean Keating was also an accomplished, respected researcher and scientist that spent a lot of his scientific career working on scalar weapon technologies.

During a 2004 seminar that I was reviewing, in the middle of the seminar Mr. Keating suddenly digressed from the main point and brought up the controversial topic of Planet X. He went on further to talk about how this elusive, but still officially unrecognized in the eyes of the scientific community as a whole, planetoid or Nemesis star is traveling toward Earth's sun, situated in the core of our solar system, and when this interaction happens, scheduled to occur in 2012, it could cause substantial problems for our little blue planet.

Howbeit his rant was short, his insight intrigued me so much that, recently, I went back through my notes and decided to research all of the topics and issues related to Planet X in more detail. It should also be noted, though, that given all of the evidence, pro and con, on this subject, I personally still haven't formed a definitive opinion. However, the pool of evidence presented, that implies the existence of some type of massive Trans-Neptune object with dangerous potential for humanity, is compelling and worth looking at with a serious, open mind.

According to a fringe, rapidly growing aspect of today's contemporary scientific establishment, the media's been blatantly lying to the public, at the request of major governments around the world, since September 10, 1984 by many accounts, but most certainly since 1992.

Whenever Planet X enters the conversation, one almost always encounters this automatic rejectionist orate, "If Planet X really did exist, our government would tell us about it."

Notwithstanding such denial, experts have come to expect this type of conflicting reaction when it comes to this particular topic, but instead of becoming frustrated those that know the real facts have been advancing their research and spreading the word.

For those that don't know what this is all about yet, Planet X is a large hypothetical planet with an orbit beyond that of Neptune. A hypothetical planetary object is a planet, natural satellite or similar body whose existence is not known, but has been inferred from observational scientific evidence. Folks, in this case to say there's been "observational scientific evidence" would be an out-and-out understatement.

The notion of Planet X was first proposed over a century ago by the scientific community, and accepted as a significant, distinct possibility by the beginning of the 20th century. Originally, speculation came about when astronomers first postulated that there's a defined plausibility of massive objects beyond the charted solar system in a region referred to as the Kuiper belt.

In the early 20th century, astronomer Percival Lowell's observation of apparent irregularities in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune led him to conclude that a distant planet, which he called Planet X, must lie beyond Neptune. The Lowell Observatory's long search for this planet ultimately led to the discovery of Pluto in 1930. However, Pluto's mass was found to be too small to disturb the other planets' orbits significantly. If you compare the size and mass of Pluto to Earth, the math becomes self-evident and, in fact, it is only 60% of the size of Earth's moon.

It should also be noted that astronomers, as early as the late 18th century, developed a fairly accurate, peer accepted mathematical formula that was used, by different parties until after the mid-20th century, to find other notable planets including, but not limited to, Saturn's perturber, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Since the dawn of the modern space age, new technologies have been employed to assist in the search for astrometric bodies.

Zecharia Sitchin is a respected author, researcher and scientist that, for decades through books, statements and other published documents, has been a staunch proponent of Planet X's existence since his early days. In a 1992 video, Zecharia Sitchin first offered a revealng citation from a 1992 NASA press release.

"Unexplained deviations in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune point to a large outer solar system body of 4 to 8 Earth masses, on a highly tilted orbit, beyond 7 billion miles from the sun.", stated NASA's official release according to Sitchin.

In 2003, the website YOWUSA.com's Steve Russell interviewed Mr. Sitchin, and in that interview it was stated that, "Some ten years ago the US Government itself, through its Naval Observatory, led the search for Planet X and the team's leader, Dr. Harrington, agreed with my ancient evidence. At that time even The New York Times wrote that all that is left regarding the existence of such a post-Plutonian planet is to name it."On January 26, 1983, NASA launched the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS), a new telescope touted as a modern astrometric breakthrough. Numerous Planet X researchers have long held the idea that the IRAS satellite imaged Planet X during its sky survey.

On September 10, 1984, U.S. News & World Report published a groundbreaking article in its respected magazine called "Planet X - Is It Really Out There?". This particular article is widely considered by many observers to be the last genuine article about the hypothetical planet by a aristocratic publication.

Excertps from the U.S. News & World Report article include:

Shrouded from the sun's light, mysteriously tugging at the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, is an unseen force that astronomers suspect may be Planet X — a 10th resident of the Earth's celestial neighborhood.

Last year, the infrared astronomical satellite (IRAS), circling in a polar orbit 560 miles from the Earth, detected heat from an object about 50 billion miles away that is now the subject of intense speculation.

"All I can say is that we don't know what it is yet," says Gerry Neugenbaur, director of the
Palomar Observatory for the California Institute of Technology. Scientists are hopeful that the one-way journeys of the Pioneer 10 and 11 space probes may help to locate the nameless body.

Some astronomers say the heat-emitting object is an unseen collapsed star or possibly a "brown dwarf" — a proto-star that never got hot enough to become a star. However, a growing number of astronomers insist that the object is a large, gaseous mass that is slowly evolving into a planet.

For decades, astronomers have noted that the orbits of two huge, distant planets — Neptune and Uranus — deviate slightly from what they should be according to the laws of physics. Gravitational pull from Planet X would explain that deviation.

Moreover, says Neugebaur, "if we can show that our own solar system is still creating planets, we'll know that it's happening around other stars, too."
Prior to the publishing of this pertinent article in 1984, numerous additional persuasive articles had also been written on the subject by sources including, but not limited to, Astronomy Magazine, The New York Times and Newsweek, between December 1981 and September 10, 1984. Subsequent to the release of U.S. News & World Report's article in 1984, the mainstream media suddenly and subtlety stopped reporting on this subject altogether — until 1992.

Privately and to be expected, NASA continued its important search, likely fueled by its findings in the early 1980s, for the elusive Planet X. In 1992, the space agency released its landmark statement regarding the object being approximately 7 billion miles from the star system's core.

Since that infamous 1992 press release, there's been absolute silence, dismissal, and public ignorance on the issue, more than after 1984, almost as if a "media blackout" had been imposed by government officials. The space agency itself will no longer publicly comment on issue, including their own previous comments, and no explanation is given for the agency's silence.

Since 1992, although the public has been led to believe that this hypothetical planet or brown dwarf does not exist, the evidence for this possibility has continued increasing and, in recent years, is becoming more and more difficult to dismiss. In terms of the math, the situation is becoming quite alarming in light of how quickly this mysterious object seems to be moving across our solar system toward its core, closer and closer to our own sun. Considering that, according to IRAS and NASA's official statements, this massive object was 50 billion miles away from the system's core in 1983, and only 7 billion miles away from the same point in 1992, it won't be too long before the object actually reaches its predicted destination.

Some scientists and astronomers believe that the object will reach our system's core before, but certainly no later than, 2012. Zecharia Sitchin had slightly more conservative estimates, predicting that the object's slowing down as it approaches its destination and won't arrive at the core until 2085.

According to experts, as this massive celestial object moves closer to its destination at the center of our solar system it will cause more and more astronomical turbulence, and serious problems for Earth in the form of violent solar and electromagnetic storms, mega-tsunamis, relentless heatwaves, and colossal earthquakes. In fact, a large number of astronomers and scientists feel that the Planet X phenomenon is evidently responsible for global warming. In recent years, experts have cited the 2004 Sumatra superquake, Thailand's mega-tsunami as a result of the superquake, farm lands burning all over the world, and severe droughts as evidence of their claims. Furthermore, these same experts also support global warming assertions and say that those who deny it or attempt to debunk the claims are either outright lying or not doing their homework altogether. However, if astronomical influences are indeed contributing to the global warming phenomenon, that means that humanity is only part of the problem.

In reality, the approaching planet or dwarf star could essentially be a key factor not only in global warming, but also in causing major seismic changes world-wide. Numerous events that can't adequately be scientifically explained, that we might even perceive as "freak accidents", such as the recent New York City steam pipe explosion, countless mining disasters on the rapid increase, and the Minnesota bridge collapse that happened on August 1, 2007. Statistically speaking, there's been more natural and freak accidents occurring over the past two decades than at any earlier point in modern times. The increased number of structural failure issues are a result of three major factors including a declining global infrastructure, Earth's interaction with other seen and unseen heavenly objects, and frequent low level seismic activity all world.

Commonly, experts will compare the Earth's declining structural integrity and infrastructure to its weakened, eroding biosphere. Scientists claim that infrastructural disasters related to seismic activity are partly due to humanity itself, but also because the Earth's orbit is being increasingly perturbed by the approaching Planet X.

Historically speaking, many astronomers claim that Planet X has approached and past the core of the system several times previously, over the course of thousands of years, as part of a natural, regular rotation around the solar system. However, in order for this to be true, you would have to accept three assumptions about a potential massive approaching object. First, it would need to have a long elliptical orbit around the sun, exactly like other planets in our solar system. Second, if it's a brown dwarf it must also be an evolving binary star because we live in a binary star system. Third, its now in the process, as it gets closer, of returning and passing through the core of our solar system. Considering these assumptions, it would only be logical to conclude that Planet X is already causing solar violence, global warming, and additional ongoing Earth changes.

Supposedly, this natural phenomenon could actually be responsible for previous global disasters and extinctions, Biblical accounts of the flood that are corroborated by other faiths and historical texts but referred to as The Deluge, the ancient account of Exodus, the Ten Plagues of Egypt, and the massive extinction of dinosaurs. While the Hebrews were writing the about the events of Exodus and the great plagues attributing their victories to God, the Egyptians had other ideas and sought explanations more secular in nature. Egyptians aspired to record their accounts, history, and deliberations in a massive anthology called The Great Book. It was the estimated to be the size of a modern encyclopedia and be more scientific than more faith-based scriptures of the time. Additionally, its common knowledge that the ancient Egyptians were exceptionally proficient in the areas of architecture, astronomy, and mathematics.

Essentially, the ancient Egyptians may have actually postulated the existence of Planet X and further determined that this mysterious heavenly object could possibly be responsible for some of the events that were also attributed to God at the time. Recorded accounts by Egyptians, from that time period, describe many catastrophic events with compelling detail, and these descriptions are reaffirmed by accounts in the Hebrew Torah, the Qur'an, and another ancient Bible-era compilation of texts, also originally written by the Hebrew, called the Kolbrin. In fact, one similarity among all of these ancient texts is that all of them refer to the events, that happen when Planet X passes, as "The Destroyer". In the Book of Jeremiah, it warns that, in chapters 25:32 and 48:8, The Destroyer will come and the entire Earth would suffer its wrath. It further says that, "Disasters will soon spread from nation to nation. They will come like a powerful storm to all the faraway places on earth" and "The Destroyer will come against every town, not one town will escape. The Lord said this will happen."

The Kolbrin Bible, as its commonly referred to by scholars and experts, has even more detailed accounts of this "Destroyer", it reinforces all of Jeremiah's prophecies, and describes everything in much more detail than any other account (almost as if the accounts were eye-witnessed). In fact, a lot of the natural events that the Kolbrin says will occur as
The Destroyer approaches have arguably been happening, especially over the past two decades.

Many scientists and astronomers related to this research believe that, due to the overwhelming evidence, the governments of the world are already quite aware of what's happening concerning the approach of this massive object, preparations are well underway, and the official denials and media blackouts are due to the significant notion of not wanting to cause global panic about what might happen when the event comes to pass. Speculation, on the basis of global trends over the past twenty years and reasoned scientific postulation, is that such an event would, as the object draws closer, increasingly affect the Earth's magnetic field adversely and cause a continuance of seismic, structural and natural disasters across the globe.

According to experts, when Planet X makes its final approach, a violent cosmic duel could begin and last for several months, affecting the Earth in profound ways while the planet will be bombarded with solar flare storms and cosmic lightning.

Furthermore, experts point out that the world governments are already preparing and, through a series of 12 satellites, situated over the North Pole and Europe respectively, have recently detected a huge crack in Earth's electromagnetic field. Further evidence of preparations by the government include a clandestine NASA project to launch numerous new satellites for the purposes of detection and warning, older satellites and even the Hubble telescope have been given project extensions, and a construction of a brand new infrared telescope observatory that's located inside a U.S. installation at the South Pole.

It clear that, whether this massive object arrives by 2012 or it takes another century, when it does happens it could quite possibly mean a major problem for the Earth. It's difficult to discount all of the evidence, and it's certainly not hard to believe that humanity would be kept in the dark by its leaders.

However, many people seem to find it much easier to ignore the issue and dismiss all of the evidence, but if there's not really a problem, how can all of the previous documentation and scientific proof, NASA's previous research and telescope findings, and ancient accounts of similar activities be otherwise explained?
