Revolt Against Western Banker Takeover of Ukraine Grows


Russian Mayor installed in Sevastopol as backlash intensifies

Russian-speaking Ukrainians in Crimea are resisting the western banker takeover of their country by installing a Russian Mayor in the town of Sevastopol as part of an emerging revolt against the US-backed coup d’état that saw the overthrow of democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych.


“Sevastopol’s city council handed power to Aleksei Chaliy, a Russian citizen, during an extraordinary session on Monday evening while more than a thousand protesters gathered around city hall chanting “Russia, Russia, Russia,” and “A Russian mayor for a Russian city,” reports the Guardian. Former incumbent Vladimir Yatsuba resigned in order to allow Chaliy to take power.


The Russian military has also moved to secure the city against opposition militants by positioning armored personnel carriers in the town’s main square. Yesterday, it was reported that the Russian landing ship Nikolai Filchenko was on its way to Sevastopol with a contingent of 200 armed Russian soldiers.


“The day’s events marked the first stages in the establishment of an anti-Kiev administration amid tumultuous development that will cause headaches for the group of politicians that have replaced the administration of ousted fugitive President Viktor Yanukovych,” reports RIA Novosti.


Meanwhile, in an effort to afford the coup some kind of legitimacy, the Ukrainian parliament voted in favor of trying Yanukovych before the International Criminal Court, a development that came shortly after it was revealed that secretive British investigators are combing central Kiev for evidence that government snipers were used to massacre demonstrators.


While it’s admitted that both sides used firearms during the clashes, the clandestine nature of the investigation suggests that it is merely meant to be a rubber stamp for implicating Yanukovych as being responsible for a massacre.


Indeed, before the investigation even properly began, once of its anonymous members, who spoke to the BBC with his face blurred, had already concluded that the government was responsible for a “bloodbath”.


“The investigators – who do not wish to be identified – say they have already pinpointed four sniper positions, states the report. “The Foreign Office declined to comment on whether the UK government was assisting in the investigation.”


In other words, the British Foreign Office already has its agents in Kiev either manufacturing or planting evidence which will subsequently be used to demonize Yanukovych as a barbarian who ordered the massacre of protesters.


The fact that innumerable images show “protesters” also carrying guns is likely to be overlooked because that doesn’t fit the narrative of an organic and righteous uprising which in fact more closely resembles an externally-backed violent coup.

Comcast takeover of Time Warner Cable to reshape U.S. pay TV

(Reuters) – Comcast Corp’s proposed $ 45.2 billion takeover of Time Warner Cable Inc could face close scrutiny from U.S. antitrust regulators because of the deal’s potential to reshape the country’s pay TV and broadband markets.

GOP Pushes "Red to the Roots" Takeover in South Carolina


South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Matt Moore shares some striking political data when visiting local party meetings: In a state where the GOP holds most statewide offices and congressional and state legislative seats, Democrats still hold the counties. Democrats also outnumber Republicans as sheriffs, coroners and auditors.


But that could change in 2014. Moore says his goal in next year’s elections is to flip the local offices to Republican control, completing a transformation that started nearly 50 years ago when then-Democrat Sen. Strom Thurmond went on statewide television and announced he was switching to the GOP — in a state so heavily Democratic that it didn’t even list party affiliations in its legislative manual.


The same transformation is occurring elsewhere in the South, in places where Republicans often didn’t put up candidates because Democrats had such a lock on the electorate.


Focus on local races is the next logical step, Moore said, because most Republican statewide offices, the two U.S. Senate seats, six of its seven U.S. House members and 106 of the 170 seats in the Legislature appear safely in the GOP control.


That means the party can afford to spend resources further down the ballot on the program it calls “Red to the Roots.”


“Local decisions have more impact than federal decisions or state decisions,” Moore said. “We want to have an impact on things like property taxes and schools.”


In South Carolina, counties have a lot of power. Only 35 percent of the state’s population lives in cities or towns, leaving 65 percent to live in unincorporated areas run by counties. The counties also set property taxes — the revenue generator for schools — and some counties even get a say in who gets on local school boards. Cities have relatively little power.


The template for Moore’s plan can be found in Lancaster County, a place that after Reconstruction didn’t send a Republican to the Statehouse until 1993 and gave Bill Clinton a nearly 7 percentage point win in the 1996 presidential election. In 2012, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney won Lancaster County by nearly 18 percentage points.


The transformation is part demographics. Since 1990, the county has grown 48 percent to nearly 80,000 people. Much of that growth has spilled over from neighboring Charlotte, N.C., many of them moving to South Carolina looking for lower taxes and receptive to the Republicans’ message.


However, the change was due in part to Lancaster County Republican Party Chairwoman Sandy McGarry’s efforts.


First she identified Democratic office holders who seemed compatible to the Republicans’ platform. She took a computer presentation to them, full of population statistics and voting results down to the precinct level to show the Republican trend. Then she asked them to switch parties, and brandished her stick — a solid Republican challenger in the next election that could take advantage of the trends in her presentation.


It’s more than just numbers, McGarry said.


“They have got to be conservative. We’re just not asking anyone to switch,” she said.


The presentation convinced Sheriff Barry Faile, who switched parties this summer. McGarry’s efforts also helped get three new Republicans elected to the County Council, giving the GOP a majority for the first time in recent memory.


Democrats aren’t ready to give up their last power base. They also plan to emphasize races on the lower end of the ticket, reminding voters that a lot of these Democrats are faithful public servants who do a good job, state Democratic Party Executive Director Amanda Loveday said.


They also are emphasizing that they are a party with a much less rigid ideology that allows disagreement, saying Republicans are much more likely to force their members into taking sides publicly on an issue that they might disagree with privately.


“We’re a big tent party. You don’t have to have a straight-line view on every issue,” said Loveday.


The push to get Republicans in local offices is spreading to other Southern states, especially places like Tennessee.


“The last bastion for the Democrats is at the local level,” Tennessee Republican Party Chairman Chris Devaney said.


Unlike South Carolina, many states in the South elect judges at the polls, which makes it even more important to get Republican control, said Devaney, who is working to Tennessee’s counties to hold primaries that list party affiliation.


“Some of these judicial posts are way down on the ballot. At least if you give them a party label, they will have a general idea what their judicial philosophy is,” he said.


In South Carolina’s Lancaster County, the Republican trailblazer is state Sen. Greg Gregory, who decided to join the GOP in college in the 1980s because of Ronald Reagan. He ran in 1992, recalling how as he went to rural parts of the county, voters would needle him by telling a story that in the 1932 presidential election in the midst of the Great Depression that Democrat Franklin Roosevelt got 10,000 votes and Republican incumbent Herbert Hoover received two votes.


“They joked they were still looking for those two people,” Gregory said.


South Carolina currently has 21 Republican sheriffs and coroners and 19 Republican treasurers in its 46 counties. The GOP also has a majority in 21 of the state’s 45 partisan county councils. They think they can get majorities in all those offices and councils next year, which would end a takeover that started back when Republicans grimly joked they held “defeat parties” on Election Night because that was what was going to happen to their candidates.


“It’s real simple,” Moore said. “Anyone paying attention knows this is a conservative state and is likely to stay that way. It’s a matter of being on the right side.”

SMALL CAP MOVERS: Buoyant technology sector gears up for takeover battles

SMALL CAP MOVERS: Buoyant technology sector gears up for takeover battles
http://thedailynewsreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/5ebdd__article-0-0B5AAD2D00000578-533_634x371.jpg


By Jamie Ashcroft, Proactive Investors

Investors in small cap technology companies can look forward to a new wave of consolidation driven activity, as takeover speculation adds to what has already been a buoyant year for the sector.


Perhaps unsurprisingly, given the volatility in commodity markets, small cap technology shares have generally outperformed their natural resource harvesting peers on AIM.


Throw into the mix a rejuvenated appetite for new technology listings and share sales and it is clear that technology firms big and small are enjoying a renaissance.

On AIM this week, the spotlight was on Belfast-based high-end imaging specialist Andor Technology, which met Oxford Instrument’s £160mln advance with an aloof response.


Andor says it is willing to negotiate takeover proposals, however, it described the publicising of an indicative 500p per share offer as ‘premature and unhelpful’.


The market reckons there’s still more to come and that other suitors may yet make a play for the company. Andor shares gained 25 per cent this week.


This could just be the first of many takeover battles, according to Steve Asfour, market maker at FinnCap Securities.


‘I’m surprised we haven’t seen more [deals in the sector] already,’ he said.


‘There are a lot of technology stocks that are trading at big discounts to where we feel they should be. The technology and bio-pharma sector has been very buoyant recently. I’d be very shocked if there is not more activity.’


“Some of these [larger] companies that are sitting on piles of cash – they’re either going to have to use it or give it back to shareholders. So, I would imagine they’ll be trying to use the war chest now.”


The week’s other technology winners included eye-tracking specialist Seeing Machines, which won another safety system deal for mining trucks.


Drug developer GW Pharmaceuticals moved about 20 per cent higher, whilst telecoms innovator Tangent Communications climbed strongly as well.


Standing at 3,666 the FTSE AIM 100 only managed a marginal rise this week, though trading volumes do remain healthy.


In particular, oil and gas junior San Leon has been a busy stock. One trader reckons most of the stock’s recent sellers have now been mopped up and have been bought up by “safe hands”.


In the recent week’s the firm acquired new near-production assets in Turkey, to supplement its high impact exploration, though an accompanying share placing dampened the enthusiasm for some.


The expectation, now, is that a busy period with lots of newsflow will drive a meaningful rally in the share price.


The trader said: ‘It feels like the majority of the sellers are gone – I’ve taken most of them out!’


Ambitious Irish oil explorer Fastnet revealed a double helping of good news for its prospects in Morocco.


First it unveiled a new assessment of the Tendara Lakbir licence, onshore, near the Algerian border, which supports the belief that it could potentially resemble the giant tight gas fields that the neighbouring country is known for.


The crucial issue for this project, however, is recoverability. The company is confident its plan to deploy modern technologies will work. So much so, an ‘in house’ reckoning gives next year’s drill programme a 75 per cent chance of success.


On Thursday, Fastnet revealed its process to sell a portion of its 18.75 per cent stake in the Foum Assaka offshore project – alongside BP and Kosmos Energy – has moved into the final stages.


The bidding process has now ended, with one potential buyer now entering into an exclusivity agreement so that the finer points of the deal can be negotiated. The identity of the thus far un-named buyer, and the terms of the deal are likely to be revealed next month and the deal will be completed in early 2014 ahead a possible Q1 spud date.


Exploration is, of course, a risky business and investors in AIM quoted Wessex were reminded of this painful fact once again this week as a Shell-led drill campaign offshore French Guiana came to an unsuccessful end – all four wells failed to build on the 2011 success of the Zaedyus discovery well.


Having spurned a £71mln takeover from major exploration partner Total, last March, Wessex shares are worth just £3mln and there are doubts over the micro-caps ability to pay its share of any further work on the very large licence block.


A Chinese supply deal was the catalyst for Atlantic Coal shares. Through an agreement with CIC Brancepeth Coal it will supply at least 100,000 tonnes of anthracite coal a year from its mine in Pennsylvania.


Africa-focused gold explorer Alecto Minerals received a welcome surprise as its team of geologists returned to the Kossanto area of Mali to find a mini gold rush, which has sprung up a village of artisanal miners, had unearthed precisely the kind of high grade gold veins that the company was hoping to pursue in the new field season.


It gives the firm a great start and will help the targeting of holes for the next drill programme, which will get underway before the start of the year.


The tetchy story of Nyota Minerals continued this week as the company tries to close a deal to sell two-thirds of the 3mln ounce Tulu Kapi gold project in Ethiopia for £4.5mln.


First the government confirmed the formal extension of the exploration licence for the project, and, on Friday, shareholders voted against Centamin’s bid to oust chief executive Richard Chase.

Televangelist Asks God For Military Takeover Of The U.S. Government


I know the adage goes “let him who is without sin, cast the first stone,” but some people deserve to be written a ticket to damnation…with the greatest sin being utter stupidity. Meet televangelist Rick Joyner (pictured), who recently made headlines for openly praying to God for a military takeover of the U.S. government. While appearing on ”Prophetic Perspective on Current Events,” Joyner claimed that democracy in America has failed and that the nation might not last even to the end of President Barack Obama‘s term.

Why not?


Well, according to Rev. Crazy Town, America is teetering toward tyranny. You know, that rascally Black in the White House won’t let go of power because he’s like Hitler or something.


Enter Joyner’s prayer, which pleads to God to save us — or well, those who look like him –  from dark ”forces” that are “at work right now to undermine and destroy the republic.”  If you let him tell it, ”our only hope is a military takeover; martial law.”


I’ve wasted God’s time praying for many a silly thing. Say, that one day Beyoncé  and I will sit in a hotel suite, eat Popeye’s, and sip wealthy people’s liquor as we discuss her starring in a movie of my creation. I imagine God gives me a side-eye whenever this prayer enters the universe, but thanks to Joyner, I now realize there are far more annoying heathens.


What exactly is going on that is so terrible in Washington that you pray to God for a government takeover? A health care plan that looks like one drafted by Republicans more than a decade ago?


RELATED: Need Health Insurance? Here’s How You Can Get Affordable Coverage Starting Oct. 1


I mean, I could see forming a prayer circle to send Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) to the Spike Channel and out of the Senate, but other than that, I’m a bit lost.


The initial clip was taken down from YouTube, but things on the Internet never truly go away. So Joyner was forced to address his controversial statements, “I did not plan for that program to be aired just as a government shutdown began.” Still, he claims, America is now sailing deeper and deeper in to these most-treacherous seas. “Also, after his prayers are answered, “Not only will our Republic be restored, but even more importantly, America will turn back to the Lord and fulfill our destiny and purpose.”


Exploiting indigenous people and African slaves in the name of greed and power? Can Rick Joyner get an amen? No? Okay, let’s move on.


Joyner ended the statement by repeating the declaration that caused all of the drama to begin with:




That being said, without a soon and very radical turn back to what we were called to be as a nation, we are going to pass through a time of martial law in America. The crucial issue is who the martial [sic] is going to be. This could be a very difficult time, much darker than we can probably imagine, or it could be a time when peace and stability is restored, and the Republic is restored to its Constitutional moorings. That choice is up to Americans.



As much as I’d love to dismiss the likes of Rick Joyner as some kooky, overly religious, fringe element of the Christian right, the reality is there are plenty of people in the Republican Party who share the fears that President Obama won’t let go of power. In fact, they are the majority.


From an October 2013 Public Policy Polling report:

One in four Americans say that President Obama is secretly trying to figure out a way to stay in office beyond 2017 – including almost half of Republicans (44 percent). And 26 percent of Americans think that Muslims are covertly implementing Sharia Law in American court systems, while 55 percent don’t think so and another 19 percent aren’t sure. There’s a huge partisan breakdown on this one as well – 42 percent of Republicans fear Sharia Law making its way into America’s courts while just 12 percent of Democrats agree.



Looks like I’ll be praying for the nation too.

Power Takeover: What’s Wrong With “Smart” Meters?


“Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket”


Josh del Sol
Infowars.com
Sept. 28, 2013


On January 17, 2008, President Obama famously said, “Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.” It’s now becoming evident that the new so-called “smart” meter your utility is attempting to force on you, is the culprit technology for the government-sponsored extortion that Obama was referring to. But this is just the beginning of a hornet’s nest of alarming details unveiled in our new documentary, Take Back Your Power (now available at the Infowars shop).
takeback
Billions of tax dollars… no benefits?


In a time of economic crisis, the US government allocated $ 11B of taxpayer funds from the 2009 bailout package to develop a “smart” grid, including “smart” meters for every home’s electricity, gas and water.  And recently, the European Union has announced plans to blow a mind-numbing $ 700B on building out this centralized control grid. The ostensible reasons for “smart” metering and grid technology:
a) to save energy and thus aid the environment;
b) to increase power reliability; and
c) to give you more control of energy use in your own home.


It is now easily demonstrated that all three of these claims are patently false. ”Smart” meters and grids typically use more energy, they are extremely hackable (making the entire power grid vulnerable), and customers suffer increased utility bills virtually across the board immediately following a “smart” meter installation – a fact even acknowledged now by some utilities.


In the words of Dr. Timothy Schoechle, a leading digital technology engineer and author of “Getting Smarter About The Smart Grid:”


“The smart meter is a canard—a story or a hoax based on specious and grandiose claims about energy benefits ostensibly derived from the promise of “two-way” communication with the customer…  There is essentially no possibility that most smart meters or meter networks will lead to greater sustainability.”



Clear evidence of health damage


Tens of thousands of individuals are reporting officially, to governments and utilities, that they are experiencing illness or functional impairments following the installation of “smart” meters. Reported symptoms include headaches, sleep problems, ear ringing, focus difficulties, fatigue, heart palpitations, nausea and statistically abnormal recurrences of cancer. According to court-ordered documentation, and independent testing, utilities have been proven to be lying about how often “smart” meters transmit bursts of microwave radiation.  Depending on the utility their claim is typically something like “4-6 times per day” (Pepco), or “45-60 seconds per day” (PG&E) — whereas courts and independent testing reveal that meters are transmitting in the range of 10,000 to 190,000 pulsed microwave transmissions per day.


The amount of transmitted microwave radiation has been measured up to 200 times greater (if one is standing next to the meter) than the Building Biology standard threshold for “extreme concern.”  The radiation standards set by national agencies such as the FCC are literally thousands of times higher than science-based levels, because they actually assume that harm can only be done from electromagnetic radiation (EMR) if cells heat up by a certain amount.  This is called a “thermal effect”.  The reality is that more than 6,000 peer-reviewed, published studies have indicated functional impairment, symptoms of illness or disease (ie. “non-thermal effects”) from levels of EMR as much as 10,000 times lower than “safety” standards set by organizations such as the FCC, Health Canada, ICNIRP, etc.


But the health effects don’t end with the pulsed microwave radiation – from the meters and all future “smart” appliances – under this multinational plan of total control. Every “smart” digital electric meter has what’s known as a “switching mode power supply”, which is proven to directly create large amounts of dirty electricity – or high-frequency energy radiating throughout your home’s electric circuits, essentially creating an antenna cage. The levels of DE caused by “smart” meters can be several hundred times higher than some international safety standards. When confronted, one government agent would not talk about this on his work phone, but confirmed the awareness and concern of the DE health hazard on a private call.


As stated by Dr. De-Kun Li, a respected Kaiser Permanente scientist whom I interviewed, utilities and industry simply haven’t done any studies to show that “smart” meters are safe. Not one. In this complete void of responsibility or conscience, independent research is now starting to clearly show negative biological effects. One such example is demonstrated in our film – the effects of a single “smart” meter on live human blood – and the visual results are staggering, to say the least.


Additionally, by many reports there are now well over a thousand home fires linked to “smart” meters, and tens of thousands have experienced other appliance breakages in their home.  Incredulously, almost none of these meters, made mostly in China, have been tested or approved by UL or an equivalent standards body.  Thus, the homeowner has no guarantee of coverage, and is often left to deal with the damage and expense to repair.


“Smart” spy state


As if all this is not enough, “smart” meters – in combination of “smart” appliances also chronically transmitting low-level microwave radiation – are functionally designed to collect swaths of in-home private data on everyone.


According to a US Congressional Research Service report,
“Police will have access to data that might be used to track residents’ daily lives and routines while in their homes, including their eating, sleeping, and showering habits, what appliances they use and when, and whether they prefer the television to the treadmill, among a host of other details.”


But it gets worse.


Utilities and public utilities commissions (such as California’s PUC) are actually encouraging the sale of this private data – everything you do in your own home – to 3rd-party corporate interests, for a profit.


And incredulously, even former CIA Director David Patraeus boasted (in Wired, March 2012) that government will be routinely spying on through their “smart” appliances.  Thus, with CISPA’s focus on legalizing private data transfer deals for corporations to government agencies, the primary motivation behind the push for such legislation starts to become clear.


And not only would every detail of your life be tracked, but your access to electricity would be totally controlled: your appliances or entire home could be shut down at any time – without notice – by any utility, or government agency, or as former CIA director James Woolsey states, “a hacker on a cellphone in China.”


Newsflash: the NSA phone spying scandal is just the tip of the globalist iceberg.


The good news: this master plan of control and order-out-of-chaos cannot be achieved if enough people simply refuse to participate in this federally-sponsored voluntary microwave and surveillance program.


The rising tide of awakening


This is the first time in known history that either governments or corporations are attempting to force a device (on entire populations) which has been openly proven to cause direct harm to health, rights, security and property. And this agenda rips apart the 4th, 5th and 10th Constitutional Amendments.


The installation of “smart” meters is either underway or planned in virtually all western countries, despite existing foundational laws which have heretofore served as protection for the people. It does, in fact, appear that the corrupted powers-that-be truly are going for broke on this one folks.


However, as documented in Take Back Your Power, there is a growing widespread awareness and resistance to this anti-freedom, anti-life program.  Hundreds of local governments have issued a moratorium on the installation of “smart” meters, and in California alone, 15 councils have criminalized the installations.  Several such as Sebastopol have additionally issued an ordinance fining PG&E $ 500 fine per installed meter in their city.


But PG&E and other utilities around the world still are not backing down.  In almost all regions where people are beginning to rise to their feet, utilities are moving toward an extortive “opt-out” program, charging customers through the nose for the privilege of not being microwaved and surveilled in their home. Last week the rogue British Colombian government floated the idea to more than 60,000 hold-outs, to pay them an initial fee of $ 100, and then pay them an ongoing fee of $ 35 per month, just to keep their analog meter.


According to some legal experts we interviewed, the trick is to realize that it’s just a poker game.


There is no law requiring you to accept a so-called “smart” meter on your home, or to participate in extortion, even though utilities and governments are intimidating people into believing they have no choice. Strangely enough, paying criminals to minimize the harm they are doing does not sit well with most people.


Legal actions and claim-of-right processes against installations are sprouting up and becoming almost ubiquitous. In many local governments that are still not listening to the people, individual councilors and mayors are now beginning to be on the receiving end of civil and criminal litigation, and processes based in contract law. As one rights group put it,


“No longer can a department head say they were just following orders. No longer can a mayor or city council member say they didn’t know, especially when an avalanche of information is presented to them indicating their position on an issue is detrimental to the health their constituency.”



Because virtually all of us have utility meters, we all now have direct leverage against a central pillar of the planetary control system, perhaps for the first time in any social movement, ever.


This is why we made Take Back Your Power. This is why we put up with two years of corporate witchcraft and BS. To let people know – in a highly credible, inspiring and hugely entertaining way – that you no longer have to be silenced by a faceless, soulless enemy. And to provide a tool that can be used like a light saber of awakening on personal networks – or entire regions.


The curtain’s pulled back. Time to connect-the-dots and turn the tables. Let’s start by reaching the 20% who are more-or-less already awake.


High stakes, big opportunity


What’s at stake is nothing less than our basic rights to life, health, choice and freedom itself.  When finally understood, this situation is a crisis, but it is also a truly momentous opportunity to claim power back into the hands of the people, by decentralizing energy production within the community, and vetoing the old dinosaurs of leechlike extraction.  The insanity of these systems is becoming evident, no matter how well-trained the oligarchy’s PR department.


What helps to make sense of this whole thing, is coming to the understanding that governments have become corporate puppets and have been systematically suppressing any tangible solution for decades. The Federation of American Scientists acknowledges that more than 5,000 technology patent applications have been “secretized.” And the US Patent Office actually has a publicly-visible internal law for the suppression of inventions. With 6 of the 7 world’s richest companies in the oil/gas/energy industry, should it be surprising that corporate governments have (in Spain) actually passed laws to prohibit the “illegal use of sunlight for energy generation,” setting a fine of $ 30M Euros for violating homeowners?


The fact is, in order for human civilization to make it through this time of terrible corruption – and to realize a world of decentralized power and restoration of rights to health, privacy and life itself – we are now required to transition to higher awareness of our situation.  We are being asked to confront our existential fear of authority; to go through the proverbial eye of the needle. This requires a realization of the tremendous magnitude of fraud that has been perpetrated by the corporate-government power centers – and then a willingness to take a stand and move our innate Creative force through this awareness. To commit to a solution that burns off the parasite, and benefits the living.


In the end, there is no other way but to stand against corruption, and reveal who we are.
