GM recalls 1.5 million more vehicles, CEO says "terrible things happened"

DETROIT (Reuters) – General Motors Co announced new recalls of 1.5 million cars on Monday and in a virtually unprecedented public admission by a GM CEO, Mary Barra acknowledged the company fell short in catching faulty ignition switches linked to 12 deaths and last month’s recall of 1.6 million cars.

What Just Happened?

“The United States averted economic calamity on Tuesday,” reports Reuters with a straight face. We begin the new year dying to edit this news headline. Here’s our version:

“The United States postponed certain economic calamity on Tuesday.”
Alas, we haven’t understood the term “fiscal cliff” since we first looked up the term anyway. Only in Washington are measures intended to restore fiscal sanity considered a threat. Best we could tell at the time: Fiscal cliff is “a term Democrats apparently wield to scare voters into thinking they’d be better off with higher taxes.”


To no one’s surprise, the White House and Congress did just that. The House signed a version of the Senate’s bill late last night. The president added his John Hancock. And… your taxes will go up.


  In the meantime, as the can clamors down the scree, let’s calculate the damage. Apologies in advance if you’re still suffering a pernicious New Year’s hangover:


  •  The “Bush tax cuts” are now permanent — or as permanent as anything is in Washington — except for…

  •  Couples who make more than $ 450,000 will revert to Clinton-era rates (single $ 400,000). In addition, their tax rate on dividends and long-term capital gains jumps from 15% to 20%

  •  Itemized deductions and the personal exemption start phasing out on couples’ incomes above $ 300,000 (single $ 250,000)

  •  Remarkably, the dreaded alternative minimum tax (AMT) has been patched “permanently”




  •  The estate tax exemption falls from $ 5.2 million to $ 5 million; the rate jumps from 35% to 40%.

  The employee portion of the payroll tax reverts to the pre-2011 rate of 6.2%. That means taxes will rise for 77.1% of U.S. households, according to the Tax Policy Center.

At least the Social Security “trust fund” will get a few more worthless IOUs, so it’s all good, right?


  What about spending cuts, you ask? Heh.


$ 30 billion in spending was added: Extended unemployment benefits — the straight-up welfare program that kicks in after the 26 weeks of insurance runs out — will carry on for another year.


  At least we’re guaranteed a few more political “showdowns” before the first blossoms of spring. Otherwise, what would we do with our time?


The $ 110 billion in automatic spending cuts that were supposed to kick in yesterday — the “sequester” that was part of the summer 2011 debt ceiling deal — have been put off till the end of February.


A “continuing resolution” — quick-fix legislation to cover for the fact lawmakers can’t draw up a real budget — expires on March 27.


If you have an excellent memory — or a government contract — you will recall the last of those items nearly triggered a “partial government shutdown” in the spring of 2011.


We should be so lucky.


  While all this was going on, the government unceremoniously bumped up against the debt ceiling again on Monday.


Or so Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says: Treasury’s own website is updated only through last Friday. It pegged the national debt at $ 16.336 trillion — $ 58 billion below the ceiling of $ 16.394 trillion.


The Treasury is now resorting to borrowing from government pension plans, as they did 18 months ago, to make ends “meet.”


Ha. Ha. Ha.

Are You Absolutely Certain That You Know The Truth About What Happened On 9/11?


9-11 Flight 175 Hits The World Trade Center


Do you believe that you know precisely what happened on 9/11/2001?  Are you absolutely certain that you know the truth?  If so, what you are about to see might shake you up quite a bit.  The events that happened 12 years ago on this day shocked the world and will certainly never be forgotten.  Thousands of innocent people died needlessly, and that day fundamentally changed the course of history.  But what if it could be proven that the “official story” that the government has been telling us about 9/11 is a lie?  Are you willing to use logic and reason to evaluate new evidence that has emerged, or do you have such an emotional attachment to your current beliefs that you are going to blindly believe whatever the government tells you to believe?  In this day and age, it is absolutely imperative that we all learn to think for ourselves.  For the next few minutes, please be very skeptical as you read the rest of this article.  Be skeptical of what I am claiming, be skeptical of what the experts are claiming and be skeptical of what the government is claiming.  Evaluate the evidence for yourself and come to your own conclusions.


More than 2,000 architects and engineers are supporting a massive worldwide advertising campaign entitled ReThink911.  You can find the official website right here.  According to these architects and engineers, the government’s version of what happened on 9/11/2001 is absolutely impossible.


And it turns out that an increasing percentage of the American population is agreeing with them.  The following is an excerpt from a ReThink911 press release about new polling that has just been released…


—–


On the 12th anniversary of 9/11, a new national survey by the polling firm YouGov reveals that one in two Americans have doubts about the government’s account of 9/11, and after viewing video footage of World Trade Center Building 7’s collapse, 46% suspect that it was caused by a controlled demolition. Building 7, a 47-story skyscraper, collapsed into its own footprint late in the afternoon on 9/11.


The poll was sponsored by ReThink911, a global public awareness campaign launched on September 1. The campaign includes a 54-foot billboard in Times Square and a variety of transit and outdoor advertising in 11 other cities, all posing the question, “Did you know a third tower fell on 9/11?


Among the poll’s findings:


  • 38% of Americans have some doubts about the official account of 9/11, 10% do not believe it at all, and 12% are unsure about it;

  • 46%, nearly one in two, are not aware that a third tower collapsed on 9/11. Of those who are aware of Building 7’s collapse, only 19% know the building’s name;

  • After seeing video footage of Building 7′s collapse:
    • 46% are sure or suspect it was caused by controlled demolition, compared to 28% who are sure or suspect fires caused it, and 27% who don’t know;

    • By a margin of nearly two to one, 41% support a new investigation of Building 7′s collapse, compared to 21% who oppose it.


—–


Even though Americans have been hearing about 9/11 endlessly for the past 12 years, nearly half of them still don’t know that a third building fell on that day.  A 47-story building named “Building 7″ collapsed perfectly into its own footprint at freefall speed, but no plane ever hit it.


So why did it fall?


The following is the official ReThink911 video about Building 7…


And of course the collapse of the other two World Trade Center towers would have been impossible as well without the help of controlled demolition.


But for many Americans, the implications of accepting that reality would just be too painful to accept.  It would mean that someone wired those buildings for controlled demolition ahead of time, and for many very patriotic Americans such a notion is absolutely unthinkable.


However, we owe it to future generations of Americans to put our emotions aside and to search out the truth.  Whoever was responsible for the events of 9/11 needs to be brought to justice, no matter who they might be.


And the families of those that were killed on that day deserve to know exactly what happened and why it happened.  The following is an excerpt from a great editorial by Dennis Maley in the Bradenton Times


For too long, government officials have been able to successfully leverage the emotional components of the tragedy to deflect questions they painted as either disrespectful to the victims and their families or crackpot conspiracies. But with over 2,000 architects and engineers having signed the 9/11 truth petition, most of whom have offered credible and detailed reasons why their expertise has left them at odds with root elements of the official version of events, there remain too many unanswered questions for us to continue to ignore those raising them.


Perhaps the most noted event of that day, in terms of skepticism, is the implausible “collapse” of building seven, the third tower to fall, which reached free-fall speeds and fell in its own footprint in the way that a controlled demolition does – despite the fact that it was not hit by a plane. Building seven’s improbable collapse was not explained by the 9/11 Commission and has been routinely described by demolition experts as something which could have only occurred through a well-planned, coordinated demolition, aided by pre-placed explosives.


The two main towers also fell at near free-fall speeds, with concrete floors being pulverized to dust almost immediately (before the required force would be present) while the necessary deceleration that would be needed to generate the force to continuously penetrate each floor below was obviously absent. Quite simply, a building of that size and structural integrity would not seem capable of falling at such speed, while simultaneously expelling such tremendous energy in obliterating each floor  which was nearly 4-ft. thick and topped with 4 inches of poured concrete above and lined with interlocking steel trusses beneath.


The documented phenomenon of extreme-high temperatures at the twin tower sites, which inexplicably reached levels capable of melting iron and structural steel when a normal open air fire is not capable of reaching such ranges, also warrants a closer look, as does eyewitness accounts of “molten metal.” Iron-laden spheres in residual dust at the site that suggest temperatures had to reach more than 2,700 degrees fahrenheit (the melting point of iron and structural steel) is also suspect. The use of thermite would be one possible explanation, though the pyrotechnic compound was not tested for at the site, a standard protocol when investigating such an explosion.



Why are so many Americans still so resistant to asking such hard questions?


Shouldn’t we allow the evidence to lead us to the truth instead of allowing the government to define what the truth is for us?


Posted below is video from investigative reporter Ben Swann asking some more questions about the collapse of Building 7…


Why aren’t there more reporters out there like Ben Swann?


Today, we live in a society where certain kinds of questions are considered to be “off limits”.  But that should not be the case.  As Americans, we should all be “truth seekers”.


After all, the truth will set us free, right?


I want to share another video with you, but this one doesn’t have anything to do with Building 7.  Instead, it shows well-known footage of Flight 175 hitting one of the World Trade Center towers.  The incredible thing about this video is that it apparently shows a very obvious “CGI glitch” that I have absolutely no explanation for.  Watch this video for yourself and see what you think…


Can you explain that very blatant CGI glitch?


I can’t.


Perhaps there is a rational explanation.  If so, I would love to hear it.


But wait a minute, wasn’t al-Qaeda supposed to be behind 9/11?  Wasn’t that the reason why we have been chasing them around the Middle East for over a decade?


Well, these days the U.S. government is actually allied with al-Qaeda.  The Obama administration has been supplying Syrian rebel groups that are openly affiliated with al-Qaeda with weapons and supplies even though they are slaughtering Christians, using chemical weapons and dismembering little girls.


And now Obama is telling us that we need the U.S. military to get directly involved in the civil war in Syria so that we can help al-Qaeda take over Syria and set up a radical jihadist Sunni government in that nation.  The following is an excerpt from a recent article by Paul Joseph Watson


The Obama administration’s insistence that the United States intervene militarily on the side of Syrian rebels, who are being led by Al-Qaeda affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra, which the report states is the “most effective fighting force in Syria,” has led to charges by the likes of Senator Ted Cruz that the White House is acting as “Al-Qaeda’s Air Force.”


The BPC report also warns that chemical weapons falling into the hands of jihadists in Syria could subsequently be used against the west.


“Potential jihadi access to the vast stockpile of chemical weapons assembled by the Assad regime and scattered across Syria is a potential game-changer though—not only because they could be used there, but because they could be smuggled out of the country as well,” states the report.


The report highlights how Jabhat al-Nusra is under the control of Al-Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri, who “personally intervened to settle a dispute between Jabhat al-Nusra and al-Qaeda in Iraq….and declared the Syrian group to be under his direction.”



If you doubt any of this, just watch the video posted below.  It shows Syrian rebels singing a victory song about the destruction of the World Trade Center towers, praising Osama bin Laden, and calling him their leader…


Does that video make you angry?


It should.


12 years after 9/11, the U.S. government is allied with the very forces that supposedly conducted the terror attacks in the first place.


Something does not add up here.


For much more on all of this, and especially if you are new to this information about 9/11, I encourage you to watch the award-winning documentary Loose Change which is posted below…

Laser Time Cloak Hides The Fact That An Event Ever Happened


This is the first almost-practical application of temporal cloaking … but it might work too well.



Temporal Cloaking

Temporal Cloaking In the middle of the image, the light intensity goes to zero, creating a cloaking effect. Lukens et al.



Electrical engineers at Purdue University have found a way to make your data disappear completely–into holes in time. The technique, described in a paper published online in Nature yesterday, uses pulses of light to create “time holes” that allow communication across optic fibers to disappear completely.


The idea of a data cloak, a way to hide the transfer of data in “time pockets,” has existed for a few years, but until now the effect didn’t last long and wasn’t consistent enough to be of any practical use. This is the first temporal cloak that can work quickly enough to hide data streams in telecommunications systems. It can work to hide up to 46 percent of the window of time it takes to transfer data (one of the first temporal cloaking techniques worked less than one percent of the time, according to a Purdue release).


This cloak works using a wave phenomenon called the Talbot effect. Manipulating the timing of light pulses so that the crest of one light wave interacts with the trough of another creates a zero light intensity–where the two signals cancel each other out–in which data can be hidden.


Hidden Data

Hidden Data: The cloak flattens the wave, making it invisible to an observer.  Lukens et al.



Right now, author Joseph Lukens, a Purdue graduate student, says the cloaking effect is almost too efficient. “We erased the data-adding event entirely from history, so there’s no way that data could be sent as a useful message to anyone, even a genuine recipient,” he told Nature. Future tweaking might solve this problem to allow super-secret messages to pass through undetected and still make it to the intended recipient. But maybe they can use the current version to destroy embarrassing emails mid-send?

What Happened to ‘Prisoner X’?

Israel has been captivated by the story of Ben Zygier, who hanged himself in 2010 in an Israeli prison after several months of solitary confinement. For the two years since his death, Zygier’s case has been kept under wraps, a silence enforced by Israel’s military censor. Finally, thanks to a report by Australia’s ABC station, it seems the story is starting to come to light.
