Joe Biden 4/5/13: "...Affimative task we have now is to actually create a New World Order"

Vice President Joe Biden states that the 'affirmative task' before us is to 'create a new world order' at the Export Import Bank conference in Washington on April 5, 2013. He also said the U.S. jobs figures for March are "disappointing."

Joe Biden--1992:

In his speech, “On the Threshold of the New World Order: A Rebirth for the United Nations,” Biden called for meddling in the former Soviet Union and China, imposing a “free economy” on these countries — i.e., allowing the international bankers to freely loot and pillage — and expanding NATO and allowing it to operate outside of its territory.

Posted on the University of Delware website, UpDate - Vol. 12, No. 9, Page 1 October 29, 1992.

“...NATO should abandon its anachronistic posture-the defense of allied territory against direct attack-to make a great leap forward and adopt peace-keeping outside NATO territory as a formal alliance mission,” he said.

Backing up Globalization with Military Might
New World Order Onslaught
by Karen Talbot Covert Action Quarterly, Issue 68, Fall 1999

...McDonald's Needs McDonnell Douglas to Flourish

An article by Thomas Friedman in the New York Times entitled "What the World Needs Now" tells it all. Illustrated by an American Flag on a fist it said, among other things: "For globalism to work, America can't be afraid to act like the almighty superpower that it is....The hidden hand of the market will never work without a hidden fist-McDonald's cannot flourish without McDonnell Douglas, the designer of the F-15. And the hidden fist that keeps the world safe for Silicon Valley's technologies is called the United States Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps."

..."The defense secretary is making the case that conflicts in faraway lands such as Bosnia, Korea and Iraq have a direct effect on the U.S. economy. The billions it costs to keep 100,000 American troops in South Korea and Japan, for example, makes Asia more stable—and thus better markets for U.S. goods. The military's success in holding Iraq in check ensures a continued flow of oil from the Persian Gulf," concluded the Associated Press dispatch reporting on Cohen's Seattle appearance

...In today's world, TNCs, and governments running interference for them, are pushing relentlessly for an end to national sovereignty and democratic rights in order to achieve total unimpeded access to acquire investments, cheap labor and consumers in every nook and cranny of the globe. This is being accomplished particularly through mechanisms such as multilateral agreements on investment, NAFTA-type free trade agreements, and the dictates of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank and World Trade Organization (WTO).

...Corporations will stop at nothing

To achieve maximum profits these transnationals will stop at nothing. After all, they are non-human institutions that must expand through ever-greater profits, or go out of business. In so doing they have shown willingness to violate human rights-particularly workers' rights—to throw millions out of work, eliminate unions, use sweat-shops and slave labor, destroy the environment, destabilize governments, install or bolster tyrants who oppress, repress, torture and kill with impunity.

Cinnabon is first U.S. franchise in Libya



NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Cinnabon has opened a bakery-cafe in downtown Tripoli, making it the first U.S. franchise to enter Libya.

Cinnabon, based in Atlanta, is also looking to enter Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco, said Mike Shattuck, president of Focus Brands International, parent company of Cinnabon and other brands.

The new 7,500-square-foot Cinnabon store in Libya is located on a busy street in Tripoli's business district; it opened on July 2. It also sells Carvel Ice Cream, another brand owned by Focus...

..."Ultimately, we think there's an even larger opportunity in the country for us," Shattuck said...

Is the "New World Order" described by Joe Biden any different than the one described by King George I?

Democrats against agenda 21- Rosa Koire is a Gay Democrat- not angry or kookie

it's about sovereignty more than anything else to the Rosa's of the world

http://www.democratsagainstunagenda21.com/

UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development is the action plan implemented worldwide to inventory and control all land, all water, all minerals, all plants, all animals, all construction, all means of production, all energy, all education, all information, and all human beings in the world. INVENTORY AND CONTROL.



Have you wondered where these terms 'sustainability' and 'smart growth' and 'high density urban mixed use development' came from? Doesn't it seem like about 10 years ago you'd never heard of them and now everything seems to include these concepts? Is that just a coincidence? That every town and county and state and nation in the world would be changing their land use/planning codes and government policies to align themselves with...what?

First, before I get going, I want to say that yes, I know it's a small world and it takes a village and we're all one planet etc. I also know that we have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, and that as cumbersome as that can be sometimes (Donald Rumsfeld said that the Chinese have it easy; they don't have to ask their people if they agree. And Bush Junior said that it would be great to have a dictator as long as he was the dictator), we have a three branch government and the Bill of Rights, Constitution, and self-determination. This is one of the reasons why people want to come to the US, right? We don't have Tiananmen Square here, generally speaking (yes, I remember Kent State--not the same, and yes, an outrage.) So I'm not against making certain issues a priority, such as mindful energy use, alternative energy sponsorship, recycling/reuse, and sensitivity to all living creatures.

But then you have UN Agenda 21. What is it? See our videos and radio shows at the bottom of this page, on our video page (or search YouTube for Rosa Koire) or

Let's send this guy too-

Here's a rare video taken the morning of 911

Porter Goss (the co sponsor of the patriot act) had breakfast with the person the FBI called the "money man" behind Atta, the hijacker of Flt 77 ON 911!.

On the morning of Sept. 11, Goss and Graham were having breakfast with a Pakistani general named Mahmud Ahmed -- the soon-to-be-sacked head of Pakistan's intelligence service. Ahmed ran a spy agency notoriously close to Osama bin Laden and the Taliban
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A36091-2002May17_4.html
.


Here's Porter giving a mini press conference outside the capitol after the first plane hit--as Porter speaks, there's an explosion. An explosion before the airplane hit the pentagon.



Porter Goss has an interesting history, especially in light of his breakfast meeting.

Oh, one more thing, Porter Goss was also co-chair of the Joint 9/11 Intelligence Inquiry

"GMO's themselves are harmless.".... only if you think 5 yrs of testing is "long term"

I guess 5 yrs sounds like a long time when most people are living for next quarter.

and by the way, if something goes wrong and these bio engineered mutant foods end up making people like you sick don't expect people like me to help with a single thing. You wanna play guinea pig? go ahead.

ooohh look! It's a fish that glows! Pretty!

unbelievable.

yet *another* case of anti depressant violence

The Sheriff released a comprehensive update on this case and guess what- like the over 4000+ cases documented here, it's another person who was taking antidepressants.

The report: (PDF) 3/29/13
http://sheriff.co.calaveras.ca.us/Portals/sheriff/Press/2013/Update_Marshall_Investigation.pdf

from the report:

Phillip Marshal's blood sample contained .08 mg/L
hydrocodone (pain reliever/narcotic), .02 mg/L morphine (pain reliever/narcotic), and .80mg/L hydroxybupropion (anti-depressant). Alcoholic beverages, including a bottle of whiskey and an open l2-pack of beer, were found inside the Marshall home.

• According to records obtained, Marshall was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder. Additionally, the reports stated that he suffered periods of depression and mania, which led to his dismissal, or "grounding," as a pilot in September 2006.


The antidepressant: bupropion

the mandated black box warning that comes with all antidepressants was quoted in an alert about this particular bupropion drug:

FDA NEWS RELEASE

For Immediate Release: July 1, 2009
Media Inquiries: Karen Riley, 301-796-4674
Consumer Inquiries: 888-INFO-FDA
FDA: Boxed Warning on Serious Mental Health Events to be Required for Chantix and Zyban

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today announced that it is requiring manufacturers to put a Boxed Warning on the prescribing information for the smoking cessation drugs Chantix (varenicline) and Zyban (bupropion). The warning will highlight the risk of serious mental health events including changes in behavior, depressed mood, hostility, and suicidal thoughts when taking these drugs.

“The risk of serious adverse events while taking these products must be weighed against the significant health benefits of quitting smoking,” said Janet Woodcock, M.D., director, the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “Smoking is the leading cause of preventable disease, disability, and death in the United States and we know these products are effective aids in helping people quit.”

Similar information on mental health events will be required for bupropion marketed as the antidepressant Wellbutrin and for generic versions of bupropion. These drugs already carry a Boxed Warning for suicidal behavior in treating psychiatric disorders.

Woodcock said health care professionals who prescribe Chantix and Zyban should monitor their patients for any unusual changes in mood or behavior after starting these drugs. She added that patients should immediately contact their health care professional if they experience such changes...>More
http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm170100.htm


This behavior is fully documented at the US NIH as well-
US National Institutes of Health:
Antidepressants and Violence-problems at the Interface of Medicine & Law
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1564177/

"...Both clinical trial and pharmacovigilance data point to possible links between these drugs and violent behaviours...


Annex: The Illustrative Medico-Legal Cases
...In 1998, a new family doctor, unaware of this adverse reaction to fluoxetine, prescribed paroxetine 20 mg to DS, for what was diagnosed as an anxiety disorder. Two days later having had, it is believed, two doses of medication, DS using a gun put three bullets each through the heads of his wife, his daughter who was visiting, and his nine-month-old granddaughter before killing himself...


For some reason, even though these drugs come with a mandated warning of possible violent behavior and/or suicide, the US National media cannot bring themselves to ask if these drugs are causing this gun violence. But they used to:



The drugs come with a warning. The media has all kinds of time to question whether the cause is video games or bad parenting or bullying yet cannot find 30 seconds to talk about the actual warning of possible violent or suicidal behavior that comes with the drugs. This is a crime against our society, to keep something like this out of the debate.

all the guns in the world can be banned but if the cause of this violence is indeed the antidepressants then it won't make a bit of difference because there will always be another way.

Lowest Cost Raspberry Pi Microcomputer Now On Sale In The U.S. — $25 Model A

Suited For Battery/Solar Powered Projects

Raspberry Pi is HERE!

The Raspberry Pi microcomputer prides itself on being affordable, with its tiny $35 price-tag for the original Model B Pi. But now its lowest cost board — the $25 Model A — has gone on sale in the U.S. The Raspberry Pi Foundation confirmed to TechCrunch that Model A can now be purchased in the U.S. via reseller Allied Electronics (which currently appears to have 70 units in stock).

What does $25 buy you? Enough processing power to use it to run a home media centre if you so desire, according to the Foundation. But the Model A was conceived with lower power consumption projects in mind, perhaps battery or solar powered, as Model A consumes around a third less power than Model B. It also has half the RAM of the second revision Model B, plus only one USB port and no Ethernet connection — to keep costs down.


actual size of Raspberry Pi computer

Model A sales kicked off in Europe in early February, with Asia coming on stream last week. Eben Upton, Raspberry Pi founder, said today that sales of the Model A Pi have been amounting to “a few thousand a week” thus far.

“We burned through the first 20,000 units quite quickly, and are building a few thousand a week at the moment, but we don’t have good visibility of sell through yet,” he told TechCrunch when asked about early sales data, adding: “I’d expect us to dip in and out of availability for the next month or so until we reach a steady state.”...

The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It’s a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays high-definition video. We want to see it being used by kids all over the world to learn programming. The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a UK registered charity (Registration Number 1129409) which builds and develops the Raspberry Pi.

Pharmageddon by David Healy-- check out the reviews

The system is broken. If it isn't fixed- well won't that be a legacy. Historians in 300 years will marvel at the $2000 per SECOND this insane empire spent on their war toys but left bridges to fall down and schools to be taken over by for profit entities.

March 31, 2013

Of course, you're absolutely correct. I'd be worried if there weren't so many jobs now

wait

In September 2016, Democrats will again bring up "Fixing NAFTA"

Same song, different deal.
