With the fallout of the News of the World Hacking scandal still coming down, more damage and criminal behaviour is evidenced By this four year investigation into Pay TV piracy in Australia.. and this is not a big population country, but Murdoch's "monopoly" of the media is exposed for what it is, a criminal organisation  plus a collaboration with an Israeli Shin Bet front company. 
Pay TV piracy hits Murdoch


A secret unit within Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation promoted a wave of high-tech piracy in Australia that damaged Austar, Optus and Foxtel at a time when News was moving to take control of the Australian pay TV industry, 


a four-year investigation by The Australian Financial Review has revealed.

The piracy cost the Australian pay TV companies up to $50 million a year and helped cripple the finances of Austar, which Foxtel is now in the process of acquiring.

The AFR investigation  has revealed a global trail of corporate dirty tricks directed against competitors by a secretive group of former policemen and intelligence officers within News Corp known as Operational Security.
Their actions devastated News's competitors, and the resulting waves of high-tech piracy assisted News to bid for pay TV businesses at reduced prices – including DirecTV in the US, Telepiu in Italy and Austar. These targets each had other commercial weaknesses quite apart from piracy.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is still deliberating on final details before approving Foxtel's $1.9 billion takeover bid for Austar, which will cement Foxtel's position as the dominant pay TV provider in Australia.
News Corp has categorically denied any involvement in promoting piracy and points to a string of court actions by competitors making similar claims, from which it has emerged victorious. In the only case that went to court, in 2008, the plaintiff EchoStar was ordered to pay nearly $19 million in legal costs.
The issue is particularly sensitive because Operational Security, which is headed by Reuven Hasak, a former deputy director of the Israeli domestic secret service, Shin Bet, operates in an area which historically has had close supervision by the Office of the Chairman, Rupert Murdoch.
The security group was initially set up in a News Corp subsidiary, News Datacom Systems (later known as NDS), to battle internal fraud and to target piracy against its own pay TV companies. 
But documents uncovered by the Financial Review reveal that NDS encouraged and facilitated piracy by hackers not only of its competitors but also of companies, such as Foxtel, for whom NDS provided pay TV smart cards. 
The documents show NDS sabotaged business rivals, fabricated legal actions and obtained telephone records illegally.
The actions are documented in an archive of 14,400 emails held by former Metropolitan Police commander Ray Adams who was European chief for Operational Security between 1996 and 2002. 
The Financial Review is publishing thousands of the emails on its website at afr.com.

And, below is some background info on the company NDS, that is involved in this.... read it for yourselves, criminals and spies.

Company Profile and History of NDS


Company Name
The company started out as News Datacom (NDC) in 1989, and later changed its name to News Digital Systems, hence its current name.
ManagementNDS CEO Abe Peled is a former Israeli Army platoon commander who served during the Six Day War between Israel and the Arab states. The head of Security at NDS is Reuven Hasak, the former deputy head of Israel's Shin Bet security service. This role is conducted through Shafran Ltd., a Tel Aviv based `security consultancy' firm headed by Hasak and three other former senior Shin Bet officers.
Canal Plus lawsuitNDS has in the past been accused of breaking other companies' satellite encryption schemes, and was involved in a lawsuit brought by Canal Plus. The lawsuit, filed on July 25 2003 in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, alleged that NDS spent huge sums to break Canal Plus's conditional access technology and published the code on the internet which allowed fraudsters to manufacture counterfeit smart cards. The company filed an amended complaint on October 9; however, this was dismissed. Other legal action by Echostar/NagraStar was being pursued as late as August 2005 accusing NDS of the same wrongdoing.
The Guardian, an independent UK broadsheet newspaper, broke the story with accusations that the NDS laboratory in Haifa, Israel had been working on breaking the France Telecom produced MediaGuard smartcards used by Canal+, ITV Digital and other non-Murdoch owned TV companies throughout Europe. In the front-page story, the Guardian accused NDS of deliberately extracting the UserROM code from the MediaGuard cards and then leaking it onto the internet. The theory was lent credibility by the fact that extraction of the code from the cards would have required extremely specialized knowledge and expensive equipment — specifically, a scanning electron microscope. SEMs are tracked and controlled, and thus obtaining them without leaving a paper trail is difficult.Template:Fact

Tax EvasionNDS was investigated in 1996 for tax evasion in Israel. NDS offices were raided in October 1996 amid allegations of tens of millions of dollars of unpaid tax.

SubsidiariesNDS owns Orbis, a leading provider of online gaming technology and Jungo who provide software for residential gateways." (end snip)

Here's Wikipedia's version as well...

Plus you'll notice that it is mentioned that Information Technology Giant CISCO have made a bid to aquire NDS just this month...

Cisco's relationship with the spooks and deep state government is well known...

UPDATE: Minister recommends the FEDERAL POLICE INVESTIGATE THIS REPORT.

This is obviously blogworthy..
I read this morning that Nth Korea is strategically moving it's targeting of It's Missile defence systems towards South East Asia....Not a good thing, considering the very strange relationship that Our "allies" the USA has with them..

North Korea directs missiles towards Australia


NORTH KOREA'S forthcoming missile launch will be aimed towards South-East Asia and Australia for the first time, the US has warned.


The warning was delivered in person yesterday to the Foreign Affairs Minister, Bob Carr, by a senior official in the Obama Administration, Kurt Campbell, during a visit to Sydney.




North Korea, which claimed to have successfully tested a nuclear weapon in 2009, has for years worked to improve its long-range ballistic missile capability. 
Previous missile tests have been launched east, over Japan. 

But US intelligence suggests the launch announced for mid-April will be aimed south for the first time.
Advertisement: Story continues below"If the missile test proceeds as North Korea has indicated, our judgment is that it will impact in an area roughly between Australia, Indonesia and the Philippines," Dr Campbell, the assistant secretary of state for East Asia and the Pacific, said yesterday.
"We have never seen this trajectory before. We have weighed into each of these countries and asked them to make clear that such a test is provocative and this plan should be discontinued."
After the meeting Mr Carr told the Herald: "The North Korean nuclear and long-range missile plans represent a real and credible threat to the security of the region and to Australia."
The launch would be "in clear violation of UN Security Council resolutions."
Mr Carr said he and Dr Campbell had "shared views on how both the US and Australia could engage our regional partners and allies to encourage North Korea to abandon its plans".
The US President, Barack Obama, will be among some 50 leaders, including Australia's Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, to meet in a summit in the South Korean capital of Seoul on Monday to discuss nuclear disarmament. North Korea's abrupt announcement last week of its missile test is expected to dominate discussion.
The announcement from Pyongyang startled observers because it came less than three weeks after it had sealed a new agreement with the US in return for food aid.
South Korea has called the move a "grave provocation". Its president, Lee Myung-bak, has said he will ask Mr Obama to revise an alliance agreement that limits his country to missiles with a 300-kilometre range.
Japan's Defence Minister, Naoki Tanaka, said yesterday Tokyo was prepared to shoot down the North Korean long-range rocket if it threatened the country. (end snip)
Considering also, that the USA is about to send over the FIRST of it's NEW PERMANENT REVOLVING MARINE BASE personel to Darwin Australia (in the top far north) of Australia...
and this new presence was always going to cause tension within the region...
This reaffirms that WE need the USA to "defend" us...and that we are also a very strategic target, interesting, as the USA seems keen to hold onto this strategic alliance, even though, economically we are being bought out by foreign interests, China is just one country involved in this..
So really, is this just a scare tactic??? or manipulation and posturing?
If this missile test goes ahead, will it be seen as extreme provocation and retaliated against? Is this what is required?

Well, I thought this was quite odd, a few days ago when this story came out in the Media.
That one of Australia's billionaire mining magnates, Clive Palmer, would come out with this...That there is lobbying and "influence" by the CIA in Australian politics.


There have been numerous articles written since, debunking much of this story plus legal action threatened and even Government MP's distancing themselves very publicly..Very interesting:


CIA threatens Australian coal industry: Palmer



Mining magnate Clive Palmer has accused the Australian Greens and Queensland environmental campaigners of "treason" in conspiring with US powers to destroy the nation's coal industry.


Mr Palmer was expected to give his response to the passing of the Gillard government's mining tax at a media conference called this afternoon, but the multi-billionaire was concerned only with perceived collusion between the United States' Central Intelligence Agency and the environmental lobby.

Mr Palmer turned his attention to a report by Greenpeace and other anti-coal groups, titled Stopping the Australian Coal Export Boom, which outlined an environmental campaign designed to disrupt and delay the expansion of the industry.

While brandishing a copy of the report this afternoon, Mr Palmer said it was the result of a CIA conspiracy involving the US-based Rockefeller Foundation.
"This is funded by the CIA," he said.
"You only have to go back and read ... the report to the US Congress that sets up the Rockefeller Foundation as a conduit of CIA funding.
"You only have to look at the secret budget which was passed by Congress last year - bigger than our whole national economy - with the CIA to ensure that.
"You only have to read the reports to US Congress where the CIA reported to the president that their role was to ensure the US competitive advantage - that's how you know it's funded by the CIA."
Mr Palmer argued descendants of US oil magnate John Rockefeller had bankrolled the Greenpeace report, in a bid to disrupt and damage the Australian coal industry.
The author of the report, Greenpeace senior campaigner John Hepburn, strongly refuted the accusations, saying Greenpeace's cause was funded by tens of thousands of individuals across Australia.
‘‘First up, Greenpeace does not accept funding from the CIA, nor from any other secret service for that matter,’’ he said.
‘‘Neither do we accept money from any government or corporation.
‘‘Right now, the scale and speed of the coal export boom are out of control. Clive Palmer's vast proposed 'China First' mine would destroy Bimblebox nature refuge and he is part of a plan to build the world's biggest coal port at Abbot Point, in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.’’
Mr Palmer went on to say that the document confirmed local environmental campaigners, including Lock the Gate Alliance president Drew Hutton and Greens leader Bob Brown, were improperly collaborating with foreign multinationals.
"The Greens have not been providing you with the full information about where their money comes from or what it's about," he said.
"I think the Greens [candidates] in this upcoming state election ... should resign if they're being funded by an offshore political power.
"It's tantamount to treason and something needs to be done about it."
Greens Leader Bob Brown held a press conference in Canberra this evening to refute the allegations.

Clive palmer has also VERY RECENTLY  had a very public spat with Frank LOWY of "westfield shopping centre and 911 world trade centre fame" plus other "activities" involving fighting for the Haganah and Goloni Brigade ...


And for those of you who are interested Frank has his very own "INSTITUTE"...Quaint :) 


Seems to be a sort of a tink thank..

Very interesting..maybe Clive Palmer will have a nasty accident?? 


or something like that? 
But there has been a HUGE back lash against what he said and that gets this Monkey thinking..


I mean who ever believes rich miners? MEGA rich miners at that...


Who believes Politicians? any of them..


Plus the Media,(scrape) of course who are very busily complicitly and uncomfortably laughing it off as the mutterings of a madman..who knows..maybe he's been excluded from the "big boys" ? 


It has the stench of some truth about it..sniff sniff..


but then again we ask "to who's benefit?" don't they all eat out of the same trough?

Much can happen in one day can't it?
In the blink of an eye, a decision is made.
In a moment of time something exceptional ceases.

It's enough to make a monkey cry...silly sooky monkey..

Finally this issue is seeing more light in the media.
( UPDATED at the end of post!!
WE have finally been given recognition through the senate enquiry!!!!!)
Many many lives have been destroyed, and many have succumbed to suicide, and despair.
As an adopted person who was illegally stolen off my mother, as a tiny baby, I fully support an inquiry and would like to see those, who,responsible for such anti human actions within this conspiracy be accountable for the suffering of hundreds of thousands of Individuals and Families..
From here we read


Brian Hoolahan could do nothing but watch the joy of childbirth turn to horror for hundreds of young women.
During his days as a medical student at the Crown Street Women's Hospital in Sydney, the Nowra obstetrician repeatedly saw babies taken from their unwed teenage mothers moments after birth.
"I remember the girls calling out 'I just want to touch my baby, please let me see my baby' and they were crying and howling and it was the most horrific thing I've ever seen in my life,"



A Senate inquiry into how tens of thousands of young mothers were forced to give up their children for adoption between the 1940s and 1970s will hand down its findings tomorrow.In the 1971-72 financial year, about 10,000 children were adopted in Australia, compared with 384 last financial year.The inquiry heard harrowing claims that babies were taken against their mothers' will and that women were pressured, deceived or threatened in order to secure signatures on adoption consent forms.

"If a teenage girl got pregnant in those days, as soon as she showed she was whisked out of her family environment, her home town and put in a home in a hospital like the one I spent time at in Sydney," Dr Hoolahan said."They'd be there for maybe 20 weeks of their pregnancy, then have their babies and they went off home as though they'd been away on a trip or holiday and nobody ever knew they were pregnant."That's how it worked."(end snip)
and from here:

"A former social worker has told how she was instructed to actively encourage young unmarried mothers to give up their babies for adoption at a Sydney hospital in the 1970s.


The woman, who wishes to be known only as "Jan", was a trainee social worker at Sydney's Royal Hospital For Women when it was run by the Benevolent Society in 1972.She has told ABC1's Four Corners she has always felt awful about her part in pressuring young unmarried women 40 years ago."Basically my job was to shut them up, stop them crying, get them to realise that giving up their baby was the best thing that they could do and get on with it," she said.Jan says it was made clear to her by her superiors that adoption was the only message to be delivered to unmarried mothers."I was one of the people who was involved with telling the girls that if they kept their baby they were being selfish. They were being selfish to the baby and selfish to the adopting parents who really wanted to have a child," she said.Precise figures are not known, but it has been estimated that up one quarter of a million women gave their children up for adoption in Australia between the 1920s and 1980s.Many of those women now claim they were given no choice but to surrender their babies for adoption in the face of family and social pressure.Some claim they were drugged and restrained before giving adoption consents.A Senate inquiry is due to report on Wednesday after 12 months of gathering evidence from hundreds of relinquishing mothers across Australia.Some mothers claim the signatures on their adoption consents were forged while others allege that they were wrongly told their babies were dead, only to be contacted by grown children years later.(end snip)
and despairingly...NO APOLOGY from any of those involved in this racket will ever ease the pain that is for life..from hereWomen whose babies were taken from them moments after birth through forced adoptions do not believe a formal apology from the federal government will put back the pieces of their lives.

Today the Senate Community Affairs Committee will present the findings of its 18-month inquiry into forced adoptions, in which vulnerable, young unmarried Australian women were coerced into giving up their babies, lied to and brutalised in the hours and days following giving birth.


For adoption campaigner Lily Arthur, whose newborn son was taken from her in 1967, reparations will need to include financial support for counselling and mental health issues suffered by women enduring decades of grief, shame and post-traumatic shock.

Ms Arthur, who is one of 130 women who travelled to Canberra to be present in the Senate for the report to be tabled this afternoon, said an apology would ring hollow.

‘‘When a woman has suffered decades of mental anguish, and had her basic common law and human rights abused, an apology doesn’t change anything.’’

Many women who suffered a forced adoption had gone on to lead lives plagued by mental health issues, drug or alcohol abuse and higher suicide rates.

Ms Arthur, who is the coordinator of Origins : Supporting People Separated through Adoption, said survivors of forced adoption required reparation such as access to counselling, increased Centrelink support and better access to records.(end snip)
For the ABC TV investigation FOUR CORNERS "GIVEN OR TAKEN" that aired Monday night..our household was in tears..if you have any interest in this subject then i suggest you watch it.
What a terrible form of abuse.What legacy did that leave?What effect did that have on the baby that was "taken" or "relinquished"...forcibly abandoned.
They knew back in the 1940's what happens to people when they are abandoned or separated from their mothers as babies..THEY KNEW.


These babies were also placed within abusive and violent homes, with no checks being made into the mental stability of the "adopting Parents" whose motivation to adopt was purely selfish.


What a sick social experiment..creating  whole multi generations of dysfunctional and damaged human beings, who have a heightened risk of suicide and other deep depressive ONGOING mental health problems.


This post is dedicated to Dian Wellfare (RIP) who was an amazing campaigner for Adoption Rights of Birth Mothers and their stolen Children.

Much Love and Healing to those that have been affected by this issue, and by any other trauma, abuse or abandonment.
Peace.

UPDATE:
WE GET OUR APOLOGY!!! BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH...SO WE HAVE MORE WORK TO DO!!

http://www.smh.com.au/national/say-sorry-cheers-and-tears-as-inquiry-ends-on-forced-adoption-20120229-1u2sr.html

Australian governments must formally apologise to mothers and children who were victims of past forced adoption practices, a parliamentary inquiry has recommended.

Between the 1950s and 1970s, about 150,000 Australian unwed mothers had their babies taken against their will by churches and adoption agencies.

The report by a Senate inquiry investigating the Commonwealth government's involvement in past forced adoption practices was tabled in the upper house today with 20 recommendations.The committee recommended a formal Commonwealth government apology, as well as similar statements from state and territory governments and non-government institutions involved."
(end snip)

Well done and Kudos to all who persevered through this trauma..

Well it's been an interesting week down here politically wise.
The media pundits have been frothing at the  mouth like rabid dogs, and the lackeys of the installed Gillard government have been cornered like screetching cats, hissing, spitting and vitriolic against our ex prime minister who was deposed, funilly enough on the feast day of John the Baptist,back in 2010 (june 24th) who "lost his head" as our country also lost it's head..


Now our country has lost it's mind...
Or has it ?
Our ex PM, Kevin Rudd, wants his job back
 (i don't blame him)
after being deposed by a bunch of zionist, incompetents.
This is after he had critisised Israel on the Dubai Hit involving "forged passports"  and Support for a two state solution in Palestine plus a couple of other obvious screw ups..the right wing labor faction in this country has quite a few zionists so, of course they got pee'd off and got the B'nai Brith into "damage" mode through their media mates..Business as usual.
Divide and conquer..all that stuff.

We have many zionists in Govt and public service here so there seems to be a divide..the right wing of the Australian Labor Party is enmeshed with them IMO...So vile and so obvious.,

So are the freemasons and the vatican boys with the jesuit brainwashed opposition  party, the so called Liberals ...what a situation.

Unbelievable and nowhere else or otherwise "serious" and representative  political party to resort to..all parties under control, or out of control, now that is.

That's not all...Rudd also pee'd off the big mining companies just before he was disposed of, with an attempt to Tax them, on behalf of the Australian people...but no, they/the mining giants put on a major / huge media campaign and this was definatley part of the crush that screwed him...vested interest with,,and without..

By a diabolical bloodless coup, they, the back room manipulators and the interests they serve, in the infiltrated labor party orchestrated this deposition of our PM back then in June 2010 (Rudd) that went against the majority of Aussies wishes and of course OUR votes.

Their agenda was/is obvious..but then again, with Washingtons approval onsite , so is Rudds..obviously..
What a mind screw within mind screws this is..

Not sure what the outcome agenda is on this yet, but we are being driven to some end, by the local media, and talking heads, and the vested interests of these politicians..of course.

Maybe this will lead to a "tea party" style break away third group, that still is under the control of our "masters" financial and otherwiswe as Kevin Rudd was the current Foreign Minister, but resigned his post on Wednesday, just a couple of days ago (Ash Wednesday mind you!) whilst on a ministerial visit in Washington, resigned there and held a press conference,
AT the "Willard" Hotel...Apocolypse now Aussie political style..
I wonder who is  Colonel  Kurtz??
And Who will rise again..Perhaps on Easter Sunday..that would be a miracle!

Well..On Monday we will know who our Prime Minister will be..whether it be the Puppet Gillard or will it be "Willard" Rudd??

There to slay the bloated half dead corpse of the Australian Labor party??
That's the colonel Kurtz here. The party it's self...
Maybe we need that.
We know that our country is not sovereign..so what "side" will prevail?
And will us Aussies EVER have a real say as to who is our Prime Minister?
Or what our policies in democratic so called Goverment will be determined?

The amount of brainwashing has been staggering to say the least by the comments i've been reading in the media posted by the "public" parroting and spewing forth the "exactly" and "absolutley"words in  moronic agreement speak with political talking heads..believing everything that is written or said by both parties to this destabilisation..AND that is what it is..

Friggin Morons..All of them

This is written only as opinion..I'm not including links  for all statements and opinions cause i can't be stuffed and the situation of this challenge is deep and diabolical in nature, as our present Government and choice of oppostions are too...
And because the media is so caustic, so arse licking, so totally controlled it's embarrassing...really effing embarrassing actually..shudder.
The media is orchestrating and having a field day with this...and the old question arises yet again..
To WHO"S BENEFIT!

As for the grace of God we go.....

The precariat is you and me



Forty years ago, it was widely predicted that by now everybody would be working for income for about 20 hours a week, living in security and in professional positions of some kind. Instead, we have experienced the growth of a new and dangerously angry class, the precariat.

Millions of people across the world, including many Australians, are living and working in economic and social insecurity, many in casual or short-term, low-paid jobs, with contracts they worry about. Their incomes fluctuate unpredictably, they lack benefits that most people used to take for granted.

No paid holidays, no sick leave, no subsidised training, no worthwhile pension to look forward to, and no assurance that if they lose their job they will be able to rely on state benefits or other assistance.

The precariat is a global phenomenon. It is not just a matter of economic insecurity. As bad is the fact that many people have no dignifying occupational identity. They do not feel they are becoming somebody, or doing the types of work they would like or what they had been led to expect when they pursued all those years of schooling. They feel cheated. And what helps define the precariat is a feeling that they must do a lot of work that is not remunerated.

Our labour and economic statistics do not reveal the realities of the precariat. They were designed for another age, and conceal an enormous amount of work that is not treated as of economic value.

In a new book, I have tried to map out the characteristics of the growing precariat. Since writing it, I have been inundated by emails from people identifying themselves as part of the precariat, and have been invited to over 80 venues around the world. Everywhere, people come up to say that they, their children, their relatives or their neighbours are part of it or feel they could be there any day.

The precariat consists of three main groups - those falling out of working-class jobs and communities, those who accept insecurity because they have never had any better, and those who are educated and are experiencing status frustration. The first group tends to want the past back, without any prospect of all those stable jobs returning; the second group, made up mainly of migrants, the disabled, minorities and so on, tends to drift into the margins of society; the third group is what exploded into the streets and squares of great cities last year, in the Occupy movement, in EuroMayDay parades across Europe, in the indignados in Madrid, in Athens and in the Middle East.

Politicians must wake up to the realities of the precariat. Why should they care? First, we are all at risk. Nobody should be smug. Second, anybody in the precariat is vulnerable to recurrent poverty, leading to a loss of capacity to sustain a life of dignity, drifting into debt, in and out of meaningless jobs.

Third, the precariat suffer from the four "A's" . They are anxious, because they face risks everywhere they turn. The biggest source of anxiety is uncertainty. Economists know you cannot insure against uncertainty, because one cannot work out the probability of an adverse event. When one's fate is determined by ecological shocks or by decisions taken on the other side of the world, who is hurt is largely a matter of luck. But we make society worse by spreading fear. We fear being uncompetitive, we fear not being able to meet targets that are unrealistic or unnecessary, we fear being inadequate and being unable to change fast enough.
The precariat also suffer from what sociologists call anomie, a feeling of despair of escape from the insecurities and meaninglessness.

This goes with what I have called the precariatised mind, a fancy term for a pressurised feeling that we must do a lot of activities merely to keep in touch, in order to minimise our chances of disaster. We flit, doing a little of this and a little of that, checking emails in a vain hope, talking to friends online who are just names to give us a feeling of relevance. We look for instant stimulation and gratification. We try to keep options open. All this comes together in what psychologists call an attention deficit syndrome. If we are not careful, we lose the capacity to concentrate.

Then there is the sense of alienation. The precariat tends to think they are not doing what they would like to do, or what they are capable of doing, while having to do a lot of what they do not want to do. They feel underemployed and overemployed, without being in control of their time. Alienation feeds into a lack of empathy with others.

Finally, the anxiety, anomie and alienation are leading to a rising sense of anger. The precariat sees winners on screens, billboards and newspapers, celebrities and absurdly affluent rogues striding the globe with their millions and billions. Meanwhile, they are stressed, and become intolerant towards others - strangers - unless they have the education to see the futility and inappropriateness of that reaction.

The anger is feeding a growing protest movement. Last year was a harbinger of more days of rage. This year and going forward we will see the precariat taking shape as a political force, demanding political parties and governments respond to the insecurities and to their aspirations for a better working identity, through having greater control of their time and more access to the wealth that currently goes to a tiny minority. The anger will surely translate into a progressive agenda for a better society. Watch it grow.

We read that the US military is downsizing and reconfiguring it's self into more of an "underground" terror type "gladio" set up..This has been, on a smaller scale obvious with their covert participation in deep events..external, and internal..with the use of increased robotics, drones, mind control, propaganda, political fronts, nano tech,the whole military industrial complex, the militarization of police forces worldwide, mixed with other support industries including prisons, emergency response, medical, pharma , FEMA, DHS, attached parasitic corporates etc etc.
Plus the highly creepy DARPA and their projects...

Morphing into one demonic beast and hell bent on destroyng the peace and security of the world, the sovereignty of Nations  and all the people.


"According to Stars and Stripes, a U.S. Defense Department media outlet, the Pentagon is preparing to “unleash special operations troops worldwide as traditional military operations are cut back.”
The initiatve is presented as a cost-cutting endeavor.

With this new strategy, the U.S. switches from large scale theater operations to smaller "cost effective" covert military ops. The latter inevitably result in the violation of the national sovereignty of the targeted country.  
U.S. Special Operations Command chief Adm. Bill McRaven, who led the 2011 Bin Laden raid in Pakistan, has proposed that troops leaving the war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan be redeployed in areas “somewhat neglected during the decade-long focus on al-Qaida”.

This would be carried out with a view to easing the launching of raids by Special Forces, such as the one which allegedly killed bin Laden, namely a covert operation which violated Pakistan’s sovereignty.
The deployment of commandos “closer to new crisis zones” will, according to AP, replace “land invasions [like] Iraq and Afghanistan […] by fast and light special operations raids that leave little trace, or better yet, raids by friendly local forces the U.S. has trained, helping fight mutual enemies side by side.”
Those troops could carry out raids or, more likely, work with local allies to teach them how to target regional enemies, as well as fostering long-term relationships, soldier to soldier, that can help defuse a crisis or coup years later.(Kimberly Dozier, Special operations expanding as wars recede, Associated Press, January 27, 2012)

Will that “help defuse a crisis or coup years later” or rather help foment coups?
The goal, according to a Defense official, is to “increase cooperation with foreign armies, working with them to defeat local threats instead of the U.S. shouldering the bulk of such fights”.
AP also reports that “funding for special operations and intelligence-gathering will increase - both emerging as the Obama White House's preferred way to confront many global threats after a decade of costly land invasions in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
Basically the U.S. army is going underground. Worldwide.

AP further notes that “the far-flung special operations commands could also serve as a framework for boosted U.S. interagency cooperation, fusing not just regional allies, but U.S. agencies like the CIA, FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration.”


This new paradigm was obviously showcased during Obama's State of the Union Speech when rather coincidently "Seal Team 6" (the trained seals...) just happened to "rescue" two "aid" workers from somalian pirates...

Overtly and covertly the ongoing infiltration into MANY Soverign COUNTRIES plus the gladio network deep events that are occuring on a regular basis.


We also see that the new changes are not limited, by way of  modifying existing "resources"

The Pentagon is wasting no time in modifying its forces to meet the needs of a more specialized and commando-based military.

The Washington Post reports the Pentagon is fast-tracking the conversion of the 1960s warship USS Ponce to use as a "commando mothership" base for special forces teams in the Middle East.
The re-christened Ponce will hold small Combat Rubber Raiding Craft (Zodiac style boats), and helicopters routinely employed by the SEAL teams that are now becoming famous for their successful clandestine operations."
KNOW what  a PONCE IS ?
 according to the Oxford Dictonary:
Pronunciation: /pɒns/British informal noun

• 1 derogatory an effeminate man.

• 2 a man who lives off a prostitute’s earnings. pimp

 live off a prostitute’s earnings: he was arrested for poncing on the girl

• [with object] seek to obtain (something) without paying for it or doing anything in return:

We think that's about right.
A bunch of PONCES..Poncing all over the world...

The Syrian Embassy in Canberra, Australia's capital was severly damaged and trashed on Saturday, and it was obvious to those who are aware of the situation in Syria that is was not disgruntled ex pat Syrians to blame..It also seemed like the embassy had no "protection" during this time either..as the police/ securtiy took their time to secure the area.


"A spokesman for the Australian Federal Police said the security presence in and around the embassy was increased when it became aware of the heightened risk.

"The incident at the embassy occurred within five to 10 minutes of a mobile patrol being in the area of the embassy,'' the spokesman said."



Interesting, you would think that since there were concerted attacks at Syrian embassies in quite a few countries, the security would be tight in the first place..that is TO HAVE security present at the embassy.

The Canberra attack coincided with similar attacks on embassies in London, Berlin, Athens, Tripoli, Cairo and Kuwait by members of groups opposing the Syrian government, all on the same weekend..so it was an INTERNATIONAL effort. 
Concerted.

NO DOUBT, to me it's the usual suspects...and HERE

Coinciding with this attack, as Canberra is about a 5 hour drive from Sydney, there were also "protests" in Sydney..the next day.

The attack on the Canberra embassy was followed on Sunday by a protest in Sydney's Hyde Park in which about 100 demonstrators loudly condemned Russia and China for their veto of a UN resolution condemning violence in Syria.
"Down, down to China ... Down, down to Russia," one protester yelled at Hyde Park.

So, despite this RENT A CROWD... like many others before it..

'Sydney extremists' behind Canberra embassy attack

The Syrian embassy believes "extremists from Sydney" who are not Syrian were behind the attacks at the weekend and has called on the Australian government to take the investigation into the incident seriously.

Embassy charge d'affaires Jawdat Ali said he believed the men that trashed the embassy at the weekend were not locals.

"We think they are from Sydney, they are extremists. We heard their slogans, extremist slogans. This is why we expect that majority of them are not Syrians, they are from different nationalities," he told the ABC.
The Syrian embassy was attacked about 9.30pm on Saturday. About 30 men forced their way into the embassy while three staff members hid in the basement.

According to ACT Policing, the attackers caused "extensive damage" to the ground floor of the embassy. Documents and computers were also stolen in the raid, Mr Ali said.

Mr Ali has labelled the attacks "a terrorising action, a brutal action, a barbarian action".

"I am expecting that the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Australian government, responds seriously to this issue," Mr Ali said.

"This act isn't just against the Syrian government, it is against the Australian government, it is against Australian law, against international law too."

Yesterday, Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd expressed "deep concern" about the disturbance at the Syrian embassy.

"The government is fully mindful of its obligations under the Vienna Convention and the proper protection of diplomatic consular personnel and property," he said in a statement. "Such behaviour has no place in Australia."

Yesterday, the Australian Federal Police said that it had been aware of the heightened security risk to the embassy and that a mobile patrol unit was at the scene within five to 10 minutes of the attack.

ACT Policing is reviewing CCTV footage of the embassy raid in a joint investigation with the AFP.
Superintendent Mick Calatzis said a number of people in the local area were helping police with their inquiries.

Both the ACT's Syrian Arab Expatriate Association and the Sydney-based Australian Syrian Association have condemned the Canberra attack." (end snip)

SO, the Expats and the Australian Syrian Assosciation have condemmed the attacks..
because, it probably was not them..

I wonder WHO it was then?

EVAN: Time PredatorThis is:  (1) Omega man(2) waiting for a haircut       (3) Homeland Security Official(4) Hillary after meeting with Bebe(5) Pentagon invisible asset(6) Our worst nightmare on angel dust The Electromagnetic visual audio network Can I say you look a mess?

Chasing Grease Devils is dirty business.

Sri Lanka?  I thought you were in Manilla.

Yes but it got too hot so I stripped down to run with the lil’ devils.

India’s got some big devils to contend with this year. Are the devils in Sri Lanka, a premier?
Not sure but you have got one here running around an oval asylum.

Ha, don’t we know. Insanity comes to those in the committee at some point.

You’d be surprised at the fear right now. It’s a multi dimensional heuristic approach to solving the problems and they never know if they are the problem or the solution. It’s dangerous to be in the conformity vector when the management is running algorithms.

In other words there’s always a chance of power flux and energy shift and you may find yourself shut down?

Or converted. Or worse. It’s not a healthy approach to move outside your boundary. Iranian scientists might not want to deviate right now but the same goes everywhere the rapid operations assessments are indicated.

That’s the best explanation for the Navy Seals from the 6th DEVGRU don’t you think?

Yes. I think you can see the same ROA in the Black Team CIA and the Secret Service.
The Secret Service has the license to kill. Kill anyone. Grease Devils for certain. These boys and a few girls have the Omega designation. When the call comes in it’s a initiated murder-suicide and the agent or in this case the targeted individual is without fear for self but see’s the target as the abuser or their nemesis. Quite an elaborate program as explained by a Phd I met in Thailand.

JFK was possibly shot by one of these Omega men? Like Greer or someone else?

Maybe but there’s more evidence it was a dashboard mounted gun and one of these Special Agents was not required. Sirhan was only Delta so there is some indication that Omega was not perfected at that time. But there are cases, I was told, that happen in small town news where the murder-suicide is done and there is really no explanation for both in the psychology world or any reason based upon family and friends. You either do one or the other but both is very questionable.

Funny his anesthesiologist, Dr. Giesecke died early this year. I love the numbers… Born 1932 and died 2012.

He died 1/2/12. I read the predictions “in 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue” and I did the numbers from there. Amazing. So you see assassination this year?

Yes 1492 + (40×13) =2012 for an illuminati it lights like a Christmas tree. And India is the key this year. Columbus was looking for India as we know.

I said it was a quite energetic new years eve.

My sources say the CIA is quickening for an event. Tensions with this OBL staged murder and that CIA farce are straddled with the CIA expulsions and Pakistan’s hard-line  on Multan. There’s a al-CIAda cell going into Punjab. The Wagah gate closing ceremony you saw new years was a beginner of another tension like in 2001. December 13, 2001 at Gate 12. I can’t help it. It’s all about numbers and nothing about the media frequencies.

You’re right. You’ll have to learn how to zero in on the right frequencies and then you can quit the math. It’s just a matter of degrees Dunne. That’s when you can walk into the fray without fear and without confusion.  It’s coming whether you like it or not. You can embrace it or self destruct. The tension wasn’t there on New Years but China is packing missiles at India’s border. This is a direct result of Western interference in Iran and Pakistan, China knows India’s assistance to the Western Gladio NATO agenda.

I predict there may be a fertilizer factory terror attack or some other event there soon or at least this year. I isolated the top dates for this year and that took about six weeks. Where were you exactly on new years?

Attari.

Did you smell anything?

Goats.

Never mind.

You focused on the leap years. They leap, you leap. That’s how the game works. Many of the elite rich learned and used it to make their millions and billions. 9/11/01 was a bonanza for many. Why don’t you it. You know the Superbowl winner. You could have made serious money on the Houston and the 49ers loss you posted.

Yeah, but I’ve been there done that and it was toxic. You know that.

Yes I  do. You don’t have to look to far to see what the results may be. Do you want to end up like Mitt or Newt? You want some money from Bain or Freddie?

Not anymore. I had the gambling bug when I was younger. Card counting, sports book and I liked geometry so much I made a living on the Snooker tables.

Snooker? Another Indian British invention huh?

Yep. And I gambled days away in the Bahamas. Never met Chris Columbus though.

What happened?

I lost my soul, my compass, my fiance and a large piece of my mind. I’ve had all the addictions and chaos associated at some time.

Yeah, it’s a pandemic with purpose. It’s the forces of the minority’s focus, especially for the Americans and West,  but they are trying to bring this slavery in democracy cloaking to the entire planet. They will soon open gambling to the world via your Ipad and your bank will oblige.

This stupid poker craze like others has really made church bingo look like small potatoes. The lotteries are addicting the poor who are forced to shoplift to eat. Makes me sick.

So your colleague posted Adelson as a major backer for Newt. Do you know him?

No but I took a few bucks from him in the seventies. I made the Sands and Aladdin Hotels my base of operations during the lost years. I became aware of him when looking into Jack Abramoff and his benefactor Tom Delay during the Bush crime spree. We at COTO have to laugh when he and his wife are presented with the Woodrow Wilson Corporate Citizen Award. That’s like Dick Cheney getting the Adolph Hitler Humanitarian Award. After Adelson took a multi billion dollar beating in 2008, George Bush took him to Jerusalem where they spent time at the wailing wall. Justice isn’t perfect but it does happen.

Well you have picked up some very interesting numbers here and we will see what the summer games hold this year. I will certainly be tracking that. What are your coordinates?

Well due to the Maya Giza 2012 connection, new calendar, new time, I have focused on the Prime numbers and the arbitrary conventions for the Meridian.  Zero plus one or minus one. It’s zero point until you send me other messages. So I look to these;

Greenwich
Washington, D.C. (77° 3′ 2.3” W)
Philadelphia (75° 10′ 12” W)
Rio de Janeiro (43° 10′ 19” W)
El Hierro (Ferro), Canary Islands (18° 03′ W)
Paris (2° 20′ 14.025” E),
Rome (12° 27′ 08.4” E), meridian of Monte Mario
Alexandria (29° 53′ E)

and staged events for antipodal coordinates and may be some sinusoidal astral anomalies on the moon, Titan or Mars. I’ll do more research and keep tabs on the NASA clock. I think CONPLAN 3501 and 3502 will get exercised this year and expect it to happen in Chicago. The US military has sold half a billion dollars worth of hardware to police departments in 2011. Tanks, Big guns, Terror outfits from the middle east and they will be recruiting returning vets who need jobs. Scary transition going on here.

Why aren’t you looking at Iran-Israel? Isn’t it the casus belli opportunity for the committee?

Yes and No. It’s too important as a focus for deflecting the real agenda in Pakistan and now with the emergence of Russia’s Cold Shoulder it’s the perfect tandem with CIA Gladio operations in Africa and the major genocide to the continent. Plus Iran has clearly shown me that they are and have been in the pocket of the elite since the Shah. Ahmadinejad is a polished and professional stooge like Obama. It’s great theatre.

Well I’ll stop by when I get back. I’m going to get a haircut.

Financial?

No, just a haircut. Got something to read?

Here something from Wired Magazine. Something to look forward to?

I think this article should explain it..

Interest rate watchers see omens from Israel


COULD Israel hold the key to next week's Australian decision on interest rates?

Martin Whetton, an interest rate strategist at Nomura Group, thinks so. He says Australia's Reserve Bank has followed Israel's central bank on 16 of the past 19 occasions it moved rates.

The Bank of Israel has just cut rates for the third consecutive meeting. If Australia's Reserve Bank cuts on Tuesday week it will be the third consecutive occasion.

Asked why the two should move in unison and why he and some of his colleagues take the relationship seriously, he is momentarily stumped."It can't be because we both have masses of resources," he says. "But we are both small, open economies, able to navigate our own ways in the world.

"And there are the backgrounds of the people involved. Israel's Stanley Fischer got his doctorate in economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Two of the assistant governors under Australia's Glenn Stevens got their doctorates from MIT.

"People from MIT seem prepared to go against the consensus. Both Australia and Israel reacted extremely quickly to the global financial crisis. Each moved from tightening rates to pushing them down in a matter of months.

"Fischer and Stevens are each conservative in that they manage the economy in a conservative way, but they are not bound by conventional wisdom. They are prepared to run their own race."
Mr Whetton says traders in the US look to each of them for guidance on what a forward-thinking bank governor would do.

"It is a case of each being independently ahead of the game. I don't know what relationship they have personally; I couldn't begin to speculate. I doubt if they phone each other before meetings," he said.

Mr Fischer is a former World Bank chief economist and deputy managing director of the International Monetary Fund. Last week he denied reports he was interested in seeking Israel's presidency after Shimon Peres steps down in 2014.

''As an economist for many years I believe the career and personal track that I have chosen does not necessarily train me to serve as president," he said.

Mr Stevens's term of governor of the Reserve Bank expires in September 2013. Next month the assistant governor Philip Lowe moves into the No.2 spot as his deputy governor, traditionally a staging post for the top job. He received his doctorate from MIT. (end snip)

Positioning...positioning.

Those that have been following the situation in Syria know the lies the media are instructed to tell.
In a recent interview here in Australia , a past ambassador to Syria has even stated that it is "outside" forces perpetrating the violence, and that Assad is popular and well liked.
This is a totally manufactured "uprising" with imported snipers that KILL civilians and children.
We read this morning that the head of the Syrian red crescent has been assassinated.
This is an obvious job done by those who are set on the destabilisation of Syria..like the recent assassinations in Iran, this is just the continuation of the plan.

Syrian Red Crescent boss shot dead

Posted January 26, 2012 09:35:16

The secretary-general of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent was shot dead as he drove in a clearly marked car outside the capital Damascus, the International Committee of the Red Cross said.Doctor Abd-al-Razzaq Jbeiro was on the highway to the northern town of Idlib from Damascus after attending meetings at Red Crescent headquarters, the agency said in a statement.
It is not clear if his death is related to a crackdown on anti-government demonstrators by Syrian security forces.
"Regardless of the circumstances, the ICRC condemns this very severely," said Beatrice Megevand-Roggo, head of ICRC operations for the Middle East.
She added that the "lack of respect for medical services" remained a major issue in Syria.
Syrian state television blamed "terrorists" for the incident, saying the doctor had been "assassinated".(end snip)

Please watch the video link BELOW and hear it for yourselves, that the AUSTRALIAN EX AMBASSADOR to SYRIA,(Ross Burns) criticises the MEDIA lies, But is very carefull with his words..a very interesting interview with someone who knows Syria intimately on a diplomatic level..
The interview starts around the 35.50 minute mark on the video

Please keep in mind the ABC is PRO zionist and Pro Israel plus the interviewers are zionist supporters and also pro Israel. (watch their reactions and faces)

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-01-11/the-drum-wednesday-11-january/3768670

we also hear some semblance of truth at the 47.45 Mark as well when the speaker talks about the Wolfowitz doctrine of 1992, and the "7 countries in 5 Years" plan by General Wesley Clark.

Plus we read from HERE

"the report of the Arab League (AL) observers confirmed the existence of armed gangs and also the false media propaganda against the Syrian government and army.
This report of the Arab League observers also confirmed the presence of armed gangs in Syria. These groups of armed criminals and religious fanatics use acts of sabotage and terrorism to destabilize the country and terrorize the population. These armed gangs not only attack police men and soldiers but also Syrian civilians.

The Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem also stated that this Arab League report of the observers confirmed that the so-called “Free Syrian Army” (FSA) has murdered the French journalist."
All this evidence was presented to the Arab League (AL) already, but the Arab League has chosen to turn against the report of their observers. Therefore, the Arab League (AL) plan is not in line with the report of the observers who have been in Syria" (end snip)

we also remember from 2008 that Syria suspects Israel in the assassination of one of Assad's Aids.
So, there have been recent past events that point to direct involvement by Israel at least.
