Capturing the next generation

The Coming Common Core Disaster
The new national education standards adopted by 45 States and the District of Columbia and now slipping into America’s schools are a collectivist’s dream. Called Common Core, it is an attempt to create a Federally controlled education system designed to turn children into mind-numbed drones devoid of imagination and inculcated with a progressive culture of redistributionist economics, social justice, the mainstreaming of perverted lifestyles, secular humanism and radical environmentalism. 

‘A Little 1940s Germany’: Parents Livid After Middle Schoolers Watch Video of Celebrities Who ‘Pledge’ Support for Obama — and Ask Viewers to Do Likewise
The district wouldn’t disclose whose idea it was to show the “I Pledge” video to students, KMSP reports, but people on the streets weren’t thrilled by offering the video’s message to middle schoolers. “It looks a little 1940s Germany,” says one interviewee, who agrees that its essentially propaganda. Another adds, “It doesn’t seem right.”

NBC Set To Spend The Week As Obama’s Personal Propaganda Machine
If you tune in to NBC News this week, prepare to be dazzled by wall-to-wall Obamacare gush coverage. The network announced Friday that it has scheduled a special series of programs and reports to begin this week to “help Americans get the most out of the Affordable Care Act.” 

Saturday Night Live 'Mocks' Obamacare in Hilarious Skit
Saturday Night Live turned the tables on President Barack Obama and devoted an entire skit last night aimed at mocking his signature healthcare law. The roughly seven-minute skit depicted an actor playing the president delivering a speech dedicated to showcasing the supposed benefits of the healthcare law. However, as individuals were called up one-by-one to testify in favor of Obamacare, they instead delivered some surprising news. 

Might seem great on surface, but is part of propaganda week by mainstream media.   Follows the pattern of getting people to make a joke out of criticism of a serious matter.  Follows same pattern of getting people to accept homosexuality by first mocking it and making jokes about it.

US govt shutdown likely over Obamacare
The US government is on the brink of shutting down after the House of Representatives approved a Republican bill seeking to delay President Barack Obama's health care law. Congress now has less than 48 hours to strike a deal that keeps the government open, but the ping-ponging of legislation is making that unlikely.  

House delays Obamacare as shutdown nears
House Republicans forced through a short-term government funding bill that delays Obamacare and permanently repeals a tax on medical devices, setting up their most dramatic face-off ever with President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats. The vote to delay Obamacare was 231-192, with two Republicans voting against the bill, while two Democrats supported it.

Governments stealing from bank accounts
The questionable practice of “bail-ins” begun by Cyprus a year ago to keep banks solvent is beginning to spread to other nations, and holders of large deposits are starting to see their balances plunge literally overnight. 

Shutdown hype is just part of the propaganda machine.  Eventually some 'compromise' will be heralded as a win by the controlled opposition on both 'sides'.

US sending bankrupt Detroit $300 million. Think 'stimulus,' not 'bailout.'
The Obama administration is pledging nearly $300 million in federal dollars to Detroit to help shore up basic infrastructure priorities, such as improving public transit and police and eradicating blight. Just don’t call it a bailout – a term that's still toxic on Capitol Hill, on both sides of the aisle.  

Gold Climbs Higher as U.S. Government Nears Shutdown
On Friday, gold (NYSEARCA:GLD) futures for December — the most active contract — increased $15.10 to close at $1,339.20 per ounce, while silver (NYSEARCA:SLV) futures edged 7 cents higher to finish at $21.83.

FHA needs $1.7 billion taxpayer subsidy
The Federal Housing Administration plans to tap $1.7 billion in taxpayer money at the end of the month to cover its losses — a first for an agency that has been self-sustaining since its 1934 creation. The FHA has played a pivotal role in propping up the housing market by backing low- down-payment loans for borrowers after the mortgage market unraveled and other lending sources dried up. It accounts for nearly 20 percent of all home-purchase mortgages. 

Violence as in the days of Noah

Nearly two mass shootings per month since 2009, study finds
There have been almost two mass shootings per month in the U.S. for five consecutive years -- yet such cases account for only a tiny fraction of firearm killings, according to a report by a coalition of mayors eager to stave off gun violence in the country.

Louisiana Pastor shot, killed during church service
A pastor was shot and killed during a church service on Friday night in Calcasieu, Louisiana. According to Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kim Myers, it happened around 8:20 p.m. at the Tabernacle of Praise Worship Center at 307 Deshotel Lane in Lake Charles. Myers said Pastor Ronald J. Harris Sr. was shot "as he was preaching."  

Pakistan's Christians fear for their lives
..."Christian children in government schools are not treated well. They call them sweepers and tell them they can't eat with them or drink with them..."Many of our people were once low caste [Hindus] so they're treated as nothing at all. There is a psychological problem with the Christians, they become so timid and scared. They're supposed to be very brave. But we are refugees in our own country ... like flies on the wall."

Islamic militants slaughter 50 sleeping college students in Nigeria
Suspected Islamic extremists attacked an agricultural college in the dead of night, gunning down dozens of students as they slept in dormitories and torching classrooms, the school's provost said, reporting the latest violence in northeastern Nigeria's ongoing Islamic uprising.

At least 22 dead as powerful new earthquake hits Pakistan
A powerful 6.8-magnitude earthquake hit southwest Pakistan on Saturday, killing at least 22 people in a region already devastated by a tremor which left more than 300 people dead this week, local officials said. The new quake struck the remote district of Awaran, at a depth of 14 kilometres at 12:34 pm (0734 GMT) according to the US Geological Survey.

Cognitive Dissonance: "The Fox and the Grapes"

A classic illustration of cognitive dissonance is expressed in the fable "The Fox and the Grapes" by Aesop(ca. 620–564 BCE). 

In the story, a fox sees some high-hanging grapes and wishes to eat them. When the fox is unable to think of a way to reach them, he decides that the grapes are probably not worth eating, with the justification the grapes probably are not ripe or that they are sour (hence the common phrase "sour grapes").

This example follows a pattern: one desires something, finds it unattainable, and reduces one's dissonance by criticizing it. Jon Elster calls this pattern "adaptive preference formation

In psychology, cognitive dissonance is the discomfort experienced when simultaneously holding two or more conflicting cognitions: ideas, beliefs, values or emotional reactions. In a state of dissonance, people may sometimes feel "disequilibrium": frustration, hunger, dread, guilt, anger, embarrassment, anxiety, etc. The phrase was coined by Leon Festinger in his 1956 book When Prophecy Fails, which chronicled the followers of a UFO cult as reality clashed with their fervent belief in an impending apocalypse. Festinger subsequently (1957) published a book called A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance in which he outlines the theory. Cognitive dissonance is one of the most influential and extensively studied theories in social psychology.

The theory of cognitive dissonance in social psychology proposes that people have a motivational drive to reduce dissonance by altering existing cognitions, adding new ones to create a consistent belief system, or alternatively by reducing the importance of any one of the dissonant elements.  Cognitive dissonance is the distressing mental state that people feel when they "find themselves doing things that don't fit with what they know, or having opinions that do not fit with other opinions they hold."  A key assumption is that people want their expectations to meet reality, creating a sense of equilibrium.  Likewise, another assumption is that a person will avoid situations or information sources that give rise to feelings of uneasiness, or dissonance.

Cognitive dissonance theory explains human behavior by positing that people have a bias to seek consonance between their expectations and reality. According to Festinger, people engage in a process he termed "dissonance reduction," which can be achieved in one of three ways: lowering the importance of one of the discordant factors, adding consonant elements, or changing one of the dissonant factors. This bias sheds light on otherwise puzzling, irrational, and even destructive behavior.

Seymour Hersh on Obama, NSA and the 'pathetic' American media
Seymour Hersh has got some extreme ideas on how to fix journalism – close down the news bureaus of NBC and ABC, sack 90% of editors in publishing and get back to the fundamental job of journalists which, he says, is to be an outsider. It doesn't take much to fire up Hersh, the investigative journalist who has been the nemesis of US presidents since the 1960s and who was once described by the Republican party as "the closest thing American journalism has to a terrorist".  

Top MIT scientist: Newest UN climate report is ‘hilariously’ flawed
A top climate scientist from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology lambasted a new report by the UN’s climate bureaucracy... “I think that the latest IPCC report has truly sunk to level of hilarious incoherence,” Dr. Richard Lindzen told Climate Depot, a global warming skeptic news site. “They are proclaiming increased confidence in their models as the discrepancies between their models and observations increase.” 

NOAA Pushes Humberto To Hurricane Status Without Proof To Fulfill Global Warming Agenda
Hurricane Humberto, or so they say, has formed out in the Eastern Atlantic. TheWeatherSpace.com will not recognize this as a Hurricane due to the methods used by NOAA to upgrade it. A scale called the Dvorak Scale was used, which measures satellite patterns to determine the strength of the system. On the day of the record break for no Hurricanes, NOAA ruined this without hard evidence. The method is basically downright ludicrous being that it only measures structure and intensity on infrared. It does not have hard evidence from boats, buoys, or recon data to support any decision to upgrade this from a Tropical Storm to an 80 mph Hurricane. 

Report: NSA maps out a person's social connections
For almost three years the National Security Agency has been tapping the data it collects to map out some Americans' social connections, allowing the government to identify their associates, their locations at certain times, their traveling companions and other personal information, The New York Times reported. 

N.S.A. Gathers Data on Social Connections of U.S. Citizens
Since 2010, the National Security Agency has been exploiting its huge collections of data to create sophisticated graphs of some Americans’ social connections that can identify their associates, their locations at certain times, their traveling companions and other personal information, according to newly disclosed documents and interviews with officials.  

NSA maps some Americans’ social connections, says report
National Security Agency dips into its database of phone and e-mail info to create complex "social graphs" for foreign intelligence purposes, says a report. Some American citizens get swept up in the effort. 

Notice the use of the word "some" in this news article...  This leads people to think "well, it probably isn't me they are targeting, so it is really ok".  The thing is, while you may not think you are actively engaged in questionable activities, you are linked to someone who is linked to someone who is... making you a person of interest...

Extreme Space Weather Storms Spark Satellite Failures, Study Suggests
Most of the glitches, from 1996 to 2012, coincided with high-energy electron activity during declining phases of the solar cycle, the study found. Over an extended mission, the researchers warn that this phenomenon could also cause the satellites' backup amplifiers to fail. 

Obama waives ban on arming terrorists to allow aid to Syrian opposition
President Obama waived a provision of federal law designed to prevent the supply of arms to terrorist groups to clear the way for the U.S. to provide military assistance to "vetted" opposition groups fighting Syrian dictator Bashar Assad. Some elements of the Syrian opposition are associated with radical Islamic terrorist groups, including al Qaeda...Assad's regime is backed by Iran and Hezbollah.

Senate Panel Votes For State Run Media
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved the so-called media shield bill with a vote of 13-5 and sent it to the Senate floor. ... this bill protects the government shills in the mainstream media, but not the people doing the real reporting, the people who have dragged the mainstream media kicking and screaming into reporting the truth about issues such as Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the brutality of the Obama backed Syrian rebels. It won't protect the very people that pushed back against the puppet media to stop Barack Obama from starting World War 3. 

AP Reported Navy Attack Day Before It Happened!
The Associated Press, as shown in this screenshot of an ABC story, reported the DC Navy Yard shooting on September 15th, a day before it actually happened. Nearly identical to an incident that happened at Sandy Hook, is there any explanation for this? Notice the headline; then notice the date right below it. The commenters on this story picked this right up as shown in the 2nd screenshot down below. Conspiracy theory forums are having a blast with this one….what’s going on? Is this still more proof of another false flag unfolding before our eyes?  

W. Va. teen allegedly killed by "friends"
Skylar Neese, a 16-year-old honors student, vanished July 6, 2012 after slipping out of the bedroom of her Star City, W. Va. home, but few believed she'd run away. The truth emerged on Jan. 3, 2013 when one of Neese's friends admitted plotting with another teenage girl to kill her, a revelation that shocked even police. Two girls that Skylar considered among her best friends, had carried out a plot to stab her to death then bury her in the Pennsylvania woods some 30 miles away. 

How America morphed into 'Bizarro World'

Compared with the vibrant nation it once was, today’s America has become a different country. Divided, angry, squabbling, the world’s largest debtor nation, with rampant divorce, family breakdown and unprecedented sexual anarchy, 1 in 7 on food stamps, 1 in 9 on antidepressants – on so many levels America is disintegrating.

In [government] schools throughout California, thanks to a brand new bill signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown, boys can now use girls’ locker rooms and restrooms and play on their sports teams, as long as they feel more comfortable thinking of themselves as girls. Same thing with a girl who feels more emotionally comfortable thinking of herself as a boy; she now can use the boys’ restrooms, dress and undress in the boys’ locker room and play on their team.If that’s not bizarre, nothing is bizarre, and we should just retire the term from our dictionaries and save a tree.

Of course, this latest transgender-rights madness was inevitable in a society where homosexual behavior – which just a generation ago was considered aberrant, immoral and criminal – is glorified and glamorized, its practitioners afforded special privileges and benefits denied other Americans. Meanwhile, those who still champion Judeo-Christian morality and the traditional definition of marriage – you know, the one the entire world held to steadfastly, at all times and all places for the last 5,000 years – are now suddenly regarded as closed-minded, mean-spirited bigots or drooling, backwoods religious fanatics.

Moreover, according to today’s “Bizarro logic,” it’s cruel, unscientific and unenlightened to think a homosexual man could possibly become, through therapy, a heterosexual man, or a lesbian become a heterosexual woman. Indeed, reparative therapy – counseling for people troubled by homosexual feelings and gender confusion – is increasingly disparaged and even, in some areas, outlawed for minors, even if they and their parents desire it! On the other hand, amputating healthy breasts and sex organs, as well as loading up on sex hormones for the rest of one’s life while play-acting in the clothes of the opposite sex – this is considered enlightened “therapy” for those who believe they can alter their own gender.

Let me restate that: It’s unscientific and cruel to even talk about changing from gay to straight, but it’s enlightened and normal to attempt to change a man into a woman and vice versa.

Yes I know. Totally Bizarro.

The Fort Hood shooter, U.S. Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, was finally convicted of his crimes by a military court and sentenced to death. Thank goodness. But let’s look at how the Obama administration dealt with the massacre for the past almost-four years. Hasan, who shouted “Allahu Akbar” before shooting 14 people to death (including an unborn baby) and wounding more than 30 others, openly admitted he was, is, and ever shall be, an Islamic jihad warrior. Yet the Obama administration refused to call what he did “terrorism,” categorizing it instead as “workplace violence.” Until his recent conviction, taxpayers continued to pay Hasan’s salary as a military psychiatrist of $80,000 a year (more than $278,000 since the Nov. 5, 2009, terror attack).But during the same period, the Obama administration refused to pay to have the remaining bullets removed from the back of a soldier who was shot multiple times by Hasan. In fact, the Army garnished the soldier’s pay when he sought counseling for PTSD after the attack. Likewise, the soldiers victimized by Hasan will not receive Purple Hearts or combat-related benefits intended for victims. When the families of soldiers shot by Hasan complained about all this, the Obama administration slapped a gag order on them.

That’s not just wrong; that’s Bizarro wrong.

Of course, the perverse way the government dealt with the Fort Hood terror attack – and continues to disrespect its victims – is merely a reflection of how it relates to the larger issue of Islam, which is still officially regarded in Obama’s Bizarro World as a “religion of peace.” As everyone on Earth knows, Islam hasn’t been a religion of peace for the past 14 centuries and shows no signs of beginning now. Meanwhile, Christianity, the moral and spiritual foundation of Western civilization and the basis of its laws, culture and values – not to mention, the explicit reason for the founding of America – is increasingly denigrated, marginalized and demonized here.

Let’s quickly survey a few more Bizarro World hot spots:

Illegal aliens: Although their presence is hurting America’s economy, bankrupting border states, injecting many criminals and gangs into the population, permanently harming our culture, taking jobs away from Americans and threatening (once they get amnesty) to create a permanent Democrat voting majority, illegal aliens are rarely prosecuted and deported and, in fact, increasingly are being treated as a protected class! Meanwhile, those opposed to illegal immigration – which is still a crime – are maligned as bigoted, heartless, “anti-immigrant” and, of course, racist.

Voter fraud: The “Department of Justice” is working overtime to block states from passing legislation requiring that voters identify themselves before voting. So, even though you need a photo ID to get on an airplane, cash a check, check out a library book or purchase Sudafed, the Obama DOJ now considers it discriminatory (and, of course, racist) to require people to identify themselves before exercising the most important civic right Americans have, which alone permits them to determine the direction and destiny of their country.

Socialized medicine: The greatest health-care system in world history – America’s – is currently being torn down and replaced with a socialist model that has led, everywhere it has ever been implemented, to inferior care, tremendous loss of freedom, increased costs, bureaucratic care rationing (aka “death panels”) and vastly expanded government control in every area of life. And yet, if you oppose Obamacare, you’re vilified for hating poor children. And you’re a racist.

Guns: Virtually all of the serious, scholarly research done for the past three decades on the relationship between firearms and crime shows that more guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens (especially concealed-carry handguns) results in less crime. And yet, there is a never-ending push to take firearms out of the hands of law-abiding citizens – to “stop the violence.”

Energy: America, which like all modern industrialized nations is heavily dependent on oil, is blessed with more oil reserves than Saudi Arabia. However, the Obama administration has done everything possible to restrict and hobble domestic production, leaving America dependent for her energy needs on adversaries that turn around and use our petrodollars to fund terrorism.

Bizarro government: Although Marxism (or socialism, communism, collectivism, progressivism, statism, “the far left” or whatever name you prefer) has been, over the past century, by far the world’s single greatest scourge, causing more death and suffering than any other force on earth, we are elevating these types to the highest levels of government. Meanwhile, the biggest political devil in modern American history is the late Sen. Joe McCarthy, who claimed the U.S. government was full of communists and Soviet agents. However, the U.S. government was full of communists and Soviet agents. Yet to this day, it is not insane Marxist ideology and practice, but rather, those who criticizethe “radical left” and “progressives” (as Marxists prefer to be called) that are maligned in the press, popular culture and education.For the same reason, free-market capitalism, proven to result in a higher quality of life and greater degree of prosperity and liberty for a larger number of people than any other system in world history, is maligned, while socialistic, all-powerful nanny government, which has proven always to deliver misery, corruption and serfdom throughout history, is celebrated.

Abortion: After the Kermit Gosnell trial – in which the Philadelphia abortionist was convicted of first degree murder and sent to prison for life – many in America, even those who consider themselves “pro-choice,” were forced to confront the grisly reality that late-term abortions are virtually indistinguishable from criminal infanticide. And yet, just a few weeks later, Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis filibustered for 12 hours to block a law restricting abortions after 20 weeks – in other words, late-term abortions at the same age Gosnell killed. Davis later called her stand on abortion “sacred ground.”So, what was universally condemned as barbaric murder in May became “sacred” in June.

Psychiatric drugs: Antidepressant drugs like Prozac, Paxil and Effexor are given to tens of millions of Americans – in fact, 11 percent of everyone in the country over 12 years of age, according to the most recent stats from the CDC. Yet the most well-known side effect of these drugs is that they cause suicidal thoughts. Mind you, antidepressant-induced feelings of “suicidality” are not so-called “rare adverse events” (i.e., occurring in less than 1 in 1,000 people using the drug) – but rather, are serious side effects for the average user, warned about on a “black box warning label,” the FDA’s strongest possible warning, included on every antidepressant sold in America.Repeat: We are giving depressed people drugs that literally make them want to kill themselves.

Pope Francis assures atheists: You don’t have to believe in God to go to heaven
In comments likely to enhance his progressive reputation, Pope Francis has written a long, open letter to the founder of La Repubblica newspaper, Eugenio Scalfari, stating that non-believers would be forgiven by God if they followed their consciences. Responding to a list of questions published in the paper by Mr Scalfari, who is not a Roman Catholic, Francis wrote: “You ask me if the God of the Christians forgives those who don’t believe and who don’t seek the faith. I start by saying – and this is the fundamental thing – that God’s mercy has no limits if you go to him with a sincere and contrite heart. The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscience. 


Pope needs to read Bible: 

Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14;6

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.  For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."  For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:9-13

Pope will be held accountable:

“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea."  Mark 9:42 



Peter warned about such as these:

There will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.  

And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed.  

And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. 

Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell[a] and committed them to chains[b] of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; 

if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; 

if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;[c] 

and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked 8 (for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard); 

then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, and especially those who indulge[e] in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority.

Bold and willful, they do not tremble as they blaspheme the glorious ones, 

whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord. 

But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheming about matters of which they are ignorant, will also be destroyed in their destruction, suffering wrong as the wage for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, while they feast with you. 

They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children! 

Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved gain from wrongdoing, but was rebuked for his own transgression; a speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet's madness.

These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. For them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved. 

For, speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely escaping from those who live in error.

They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves[g] of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. 

For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. 

For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. 

What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”

Charles Krauthammer: ‘Obama Has Been Played’
“Here is the president of the greatest democracy on Earth, being lectured — insultingly, really — in an American newspaper about human rights, about international law, about the protection of the elderly and children in wartime.” Krauthammer said. “What we are seeing here is Putin so confident of himself…that he could actually engage in this,” Krauthammer added. “It’s an index of how, sort of, Obama has been played and continues to be right now in Geneva.”

Survey Surprise: Many Americans See Syria as Sign of Bible's End Times
Should the United States bomb Syria? Your answer might depend on your eschatology (whether Christian or Muslim). LifeWay Research noticed how the Syrian conflict has prompted discussion of the End Times (i.e. dispensationalism) unlike previous debates over American intervention in foreign affairs. So it did a survey and found some surprising results: Almost one in three Americans see Syria's recent conflict as part of the Bible's plan for the end times.

ALL QUIET ALERT  

With the Sun's disk almost completely devoid of sunspots, solar flare activity has come to a halt. Measurements by NOAA's GOES 15 Ssatellite show that the sun's global x-ray emission, a key metric of solar activity, has flatlined. The quiet spell is a bit strange because 2013 is supposed to be a year of solar maximum, with lots of flares and sunspots. upporting this view are data from NASA-supported observatories which show that the sun's magnetic field is poised to flip--a long-held sign that Solar Max has arrived. Nevertheless, solar activity is low.

New Police Toy Resembling ‘Ray Gun’ Can Disable Threatening Vehicles Via EMP
A new gadget built by Diehl Defense, much like a portable Electro-Magnetic Pulse ray gun, can disable a vehicles electronic circuitry rendering it useless in battlefield or pursuit conditions. This technology was put to the test on the battlefield of Afghanistan in 2011, while police departments and militaries around the world will likely grovel over the device. Deihl Defense is also a maker of guided missiles and other weaponry.

“We did start calling our customers prior to taking them down and asking them to turn off air conditioners, but they weren’t responding as fast as we would like them to so we had to send them a strong message by turning the power off.”

JUDGEMENT IS HERE

Will the international banking cartel orchestrate a false flag attack on the US, using a US military action against Syria as a cover excuse so that it can be blamed on Syria?

Will the attack be against multiple (ie: 10 to 20) major US cities simultaneously or within days/weeks of each other?

Will the nature of the attack be a mix of something akin to suitcase nuclear or dirty bombs?

Are recent undocumented movements of nuclear material related?

A RITUAL ABUSE SURVIVAL STORY

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) – It's something out of a nightmare - satanic rituals and human sacrifices, but this nightmare is real for Jenny Hill. It's a secret that's been burning inside her since she was a little girl.

Jenny Hill explained, "Naked, tied to a cross, when you're young. I was six years old and I qualified."

Jenny's story of satanic ritual abuse is documented in Judy Byington's new book “Twenty Two Faces.” 

Byington explained, "She had been sexually abused and ritually abused as a very young child so she had these multiple personalities that anytime she got into a stressful situation they would take over her mind and body."

Jenny’s first alter personality was born at the age of 4. That's when jenny says her father, a devout Mormon, began doing the unthinkable. 

Hill said, "He told me he loved me over my mother. There's your secret."

It was just a couple of years later when the satanic ritual abuse began and that created more personalities to help her deal with the sexual abuse and torture.

Byington explained, "It's like she knows she's being abused but she can't feel the abuse because these alters are holding the pain."

Jenny didn't remember the abuse; all she knew is that she would lose time until one day she woke up in a Utah psychiatric hospital confused. Dr. Weston Whatcott treated her.

"If this was not real with her, she deserves 17 academy awards,” said Whatcott.

Whatcott says he witnessed several of Jenny's alter personalities.

"Entirely different voice,” explained Whatcott. “I mean voice changes, accents, body language, totally changed."

He also noticed those personalities come out in her writings. Much like her childhood diaries, her adult journals allowed the personalities to speak out and reveal what really happened to little Jenny. Still jenny wasn't convinced that she actually had 22 different personalities until one day Whatcott video taped a session and played it back to her.

"She was so fascinated by that,” said Whatcott. “It was like she was a teeny kid. She got down on her hands and knees and climbed up and her face was about this close to the screen. She couldn't believe that that was her."

Whatcott says that was a real turning point for Jenny. She finally felt safe to tell her story, and with that, even more horrors came to surface including the time, she claims, she witnessed a human sacrifice.

Hill still relives that day. "I was tied up and they would do the same thing to her then to me and when it got to a certain part of the ceremony the pain was so extreme she cried hysterically,” explained Hill. “I didn't cry, I didn't moan, I didn't make a noise like I was trained to."

Jenny says on that day June 21st, 1965 she saw that little girl who cried out killed. She would have been next, but says she was saved by divine intervention.

Byington told ABC 4 News, "Jenny said she saw the feet of a man in the white light cause she was lying on the alter and it was right above her and it broke up the ceremony."

Jenny thought she was all alone in those memories, but before Jenny's mother, Mercy Hill, passed away she admitted in a secretly recorded conversation she was involved in the satanic rituals and saw the same light that saved Jenny.

Byington asked Mercy Hill, "You talked a little bit about the white light. Is there anything about that that you can tell me?

Mercy Hill responded, “Well, I don't know. I can't remember too much about anything but it seemed like there was a white light and it was kind of away from us and it shown down."

"And did you see anything in the light?” asked Byington.

Mercy Hill replied, "Nuh uh. It was so brilliant you know? It was blinding."

The realization that her parents may have been involved with the satanic group was a shock to Jenny, but not many others. In most documented cases, it's often close relatives who perform the ritual abuse. In a study commissioned by the LDS church in 1990, 60 church members said they were victims of ritual abuse and 45 claimed to have witnessed or participated in a human sacrifice.

Hours before this story was to make air, Jenny Hill's sister contacted ABC 4 to refute Jenny's story. Susan Bradford says her sister is a very mentally ill person who is being taken advantage of by Judy Byington. Bradford says Jenny's alleged abuse never happened and that her parents were not satanists.
