Jim Cramer’s Guide to Market Manipulation
Link to This
“Mad Money” host Jim Cramer has gained a huge following, and more than a few critics as well, with his explosive stock-picking patter. But in a revealing video interview with TheStreet.com, the financial Web site he cofounded, Mr. Cramer drops some bombshells that go well beyond his usual chair-throwing, ‘Booyah’-shouting routine. In the clip, which has drawn lots of commentary on YouTube, Mr. Cramer brags about his ability as a former hedge-fund manager to game the stock market and offers what amounts to a how-to to aspiring stock manipulators, The New York Post reported Tuesday.
In the December interview with the site’s “Wall Street Confidential” Webcast, Mr. Cramer describes at least two strategies, including a way of driving stock futures up or down that he explicitly said was legal. “A lot of times when I was short, I would create a level of activity beforehand that would drive the futures. … It’s a fun game,” he told TheStreet.com’s executive editor, Aaron Task.
But Mr. Cramer spends most of the interview describing a practice called “fomenting,” where a hedge fund manager essentially creates a false impression about a company in order to drive its stock one way or another — which he says is “blatantly illegal,” but adds that “the Securities and Exchange Commission doesn’t understand it.” While he claims this practice is widespread, he never says he has used it himself.
Here’s how fomenting works, according to Mr. Cramer: Say a hedge fund manager is holding a short position — a bet that a stock will decline — in Research in Motion, which has just announced blockbuster quarterly earnings results. An enterprising fund manager might call several brokerage houses and either feed them bad information or order a slew of short sales. Then he or she could call up a “bozo reporter” with a fake news tip about Resarch in Motion rival Palm.
The result, he says, is a perfect storm of bad news that temporarily lowers R.I.M.’s stock price, long enough for the manager to reap a tidy profit. He recommends a similar procedure with Apple (the video was filmed before the company introduced its iPhone at its annual Macworld convention in January).
“These are all the things that you should be doing on a day-to-day basis and if you’re not doing it, maybe you shouldn’t be in the game,” Mr. Cramer tells Mr. Task.
Mr. Cramer sums up his philosophy this way:
What’s important when you are in that hedge fund mode is to not do anything remotely truthful, because the truth is so against your view, that it’s important to create a new truth, to develop a fiction.
Jim Cramer and his illegal trading tactics
CRAMER REVEALS A BIT TOO MUCH
NY POSTBy RODDY BOYD
March 20, 2007 -- Flamboyant Wall Street trader turned TV host Jim Cramer, not known for being the shy, retiring type, might have said too much in a video interview he did for a financial Web site.
The host of CNBC's daily program "Mad Money" had hedge fund-trading desks buzzing yesterday after he bragged about manipulating stock prices during his days as a trader.
In the video from TheStreet.com's "Wall Street Confidential" Webcast, Cramer boasts about manipulating the price of a high-flying stock down, and even acknowledges that doing so might have been illegal. The video is making the rounds on YouTube.
"A lot of times when I was short, I would create a level of activity beforehand that would drive the futures. . . . It's a fun game," Cramer said in the Webcast, which was moderated by TheStreet.com Executive Editor Aaron Task.
Cramer later said that "no one else in the world would ever admit that, but I don't care."
However, seconds later, he acknowledged, "I'm not going to say that on TV," referring to his show on CNBC.
A remarkably successful money manager when he ran the $450 million Cramer Berkowitz hedge fund, Cramer in the Webcast shared his "tips" on how to drive a stock price down so that a short-position - a bet that a stock price would drop - remains profitable.
He added that the strategy - while illegal - was safe enough because, "the Securities and Exchange Commission never understands this."
A call to Cramer was not returned.

THE PSYCHOPATH
Imagine - if you can - not having a conscience, none at all, no feelings of guilt or remorse no matter what you do, no limiting sense of concern for the well-being of strangers, friends, or even family members. Imagine no struggles with shame, not a single one in your whole life, no matter what kind of selfish, lazy, harmful, or immoral action you had taken.
And pretend that the concept of responsibility is unknown to you, except as a burden others seem to accept without question, like gullible fools.
Now add to this strange fantasy the ability to conceal from other people that your psychological makeup is radically different from theirs. Since everyone simply assumes that conscience is universal among human beings, hiding the fact that you are conscience-free is nearly effortless.
You are not held back from any of your desires by guilt or shame, and you are never confronted by others for your cold-bloodedness. The ice water in your veins is so bizarre, so completely outside of their personal experience, that they seldom even guess at your condition.
In other words, you are completely free of internal restraints, and your unhampered liberty to do just as you please, with no pangs of conscience, is conveniently invisible to the world.
You can do anything at all, and still your strange advantage over the majority of people, who are kept in line by their consciences will most likely remain undiscovered.
How will you live your life?
What will you do with your huge and secret advantage, and with the corresponding handicap of other people (conscience)?
The answer will depend largely on just what your desires happen to be, because people are not all the same. Even the profoundly unscrupulous are not all the same. Some people - whether they have a conscience or not - favor the ease of inertia, while others are filled with dreams and wild ambitions. Some human beings are brilliant and talented, some are dull-witted, and most, conscience or not, are somewhere in between. There are violent people and nonviolent ones, individuals who are motivated by blood lust and those who have no such appetites. [...]
Provided you are not forcibly stopped, you can do anything at all.
If you are born at the right time, with some access to family fortune, and you have a special talent for whipping up other people's hatred and sense of deprivation, you can arrange to kill large numbers of unsuspecting people. With enough money, you can accomplish this from far away, and you can sit back safely and watch in satisfaction. [...]
Crazy and frightening - and real, in about 4 percent of the population....
The prevalence rate for anorexic eating disorders is estimated a 3.43 percent, deemed to be nearly epidemic, and yet this figure is a fraction lower than the rate for antisocial personality. The high-profile disorders classed as schizophrenia occur in only about 1 percent of [the population] - a mere quarter of the rate of antisocial personality - and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that the rate of colon cancer in the United States, considered "alarmingly high," is about 40 per 100,000 - one hundred times lower than the rate of antisocial personality.
The high incidence of sociopathy in human society has a profound effect on the rest of us who must live on this planet, too, even those of us who have not been clinically traumatized. The individuals who constitute this 4 percent drain our relationships, our bank accounts, our accomplishments, our self-esteem, our very peace on earth.
Yet surprisingly, many people know nothing about this disorder, or if they do, they think only in terms of violent psychopathy - murderers, serial killers, mass murderers - people who have conspicuously broken the law many times over, and who, if caught, will be imprisoned, maybe even put to death by our legal system.
We are not commonly aware of, nor do we usually identify, the larger number of nonviolent sociopaths among us, people who often are not blatant lawbreakers, and against whom our formal legal system provides little defense.
Most of us would not imagine any correspondence between conceiving an ethnic genocide and, say, guiltlessly lying to one's boss about a coworker. But the psychological correspondence is not only there; it is chilling. Simple and profound, the link is the absence of the inner mechanism that beats up on us, emotionally speaking, when we make a choice we view as immoral, unethical, neglectful, or selfish.
Most of us feel mildly guilty if we eat the last piece of cake in the kitchen, let alone what we would feel if we intentionally and methodically set about to hurt another person.
Those who have no conscience at all are a group unto themselves, whether they be homicidal tyrants or merely ruthless social snipers.
The presence or absence of conscience is a deep human division, arguably more significant than intelligence, race, or even gender.
What differentiates a sociopath who lives off the labors of others from one who occasionally robs convenience stores, or from one who is a contemporary robber baron - or what makes the difference betwen an ordinary bully and a sociopathic murderer - is nothing more than social status, drive, intellect, blood lust, or simple opportunity.
What distinguishes all of these people from the rest of us is an utterly empty hole in the psyche, where there should be the most evolved of all humanizing functions. [Martha Stout, Ph.D., The Sociopath Next Door] (highly recommended)
For those of you who are seeking understanding of psychopathy, Hervey Cleckley's book The Mask of Sanity, the absolutely essential study of the psychopath who is not necessarily of the criminal type. This book is no longer available. We have it scanned and our team of researchers spent two weeks going over the text carefully to eliminate text conversion errors. You may download the entire book FREE as a PDF from the link at left, top. (Read A Sample Chapter of The Mask of Sanity)
"Likeable," "Charming," "Intelligent," "Alert," "Impressive," "Confidence-inspiring," and "A great success with the ladies": These are the sorts of descriptions repeatedly used by Cleckley in his famous case-studies of psychopaths. They are also, of course, "irresponsible," "self-destructive," and the like. These descriptions highlight the great frustrations and puzzles that surround the study of psychopathy.
Psychopaths seem to have in abundance the very traits most desired by normal persons. The untroubled self-confidence of the psychopath seems almost like an impossible dream and is generally what "normal" people seek to acquire when they attend assertiveness training classes. In many instances, the magnetic attraction of the psychopath for members of the opposite sex seems almost supernatural.
Cleckley's seminal hypothesis concerning the psychopath is that he suffers from a very real mental illness indeed: a profound and incurable affective deficit. If he really feels anything at all, they are emotions of only the shallowest kind. He does bizarre and self-destructive things because consequences that would fill the ordinary man with shame, self-loathing, and embarrassment simply do not affect the psychopath at all. What to others would be a disaster is to him merely a fleeting inconvenience.
Cleckley also gives grounds for the view that psychopathy is quite common in the community at large. He has collected some cases of psychopaths who generally function normally in the community as businessmen, doctors, and even psychiatrists. Some researchers see criminal psychopathy - often referred to as anti-social personality disorder - as an extreme of a "normal" personality dimension (or dimensions).
We would characterize criminal psychopaths as "unsuccessful psychopaths." The implication, of course, is that many psychopaths may exist in society who cope better than do those who come to the attention of the judicial and welfare systems.
Harrington goes so far as to say that the psychopath is the new man being produced by the evolutionary pressures of modern life. Other researchers criticize this view, pointing out the real disabilities that the clinical psychopath also suffers.
The study of "ambulatory" psychopaths - what we call "The Garden Variety Psychopath" - has, however, hardly begun. Very little is known about subcriminal psychopathy. However, some researchers have begun to seriously consider the idea that it is important to study psychopathy not as an artificial clinical category but as a general personality trait in the community at large. In other words, psychopathy is being recognized as a more or less a different type of human.
One very interesting aspect of the psychopath is his "hidden life" that is sometimes not too well hidden. It seems that the psychopath has a regular need to take a "vacation into filth and degradation" the same way normal people may take a vacation to a resort where they enjoy beautiful surroundings and culture. To get a full feeling for this strange "need" of the psychopath - a need that seems to be evidence that "acting human" is very stressful to the psychopath - read more of The Mask of Sanity, chapters 25 and 26.
Also, read Cleckley's speculations on what was "really wrong" with these people. He comes very close to suggesting that they are human in every respect - but that they lack a soul. This lack of "soul quality" makes them very efficient "machines." They can be brilliant, write scholarly works, imitate the words of emotion, but over time, it becomes clear that their words do not match their actions. They are the type of person who can claim that they are devastated by grief who then attend a party "to forget." The problem is: they really DO forget.
Being very efficient machines, like a computer, they are able to execute very complex routines designed to elicit from others support for what they want. In this way, many psychopaths are able to reach very high positions in life. It is only over time that their associates become aware of the fact that their climb up the ladder of success is predicated on violating the rights of others."Even when they are indifferent to the rights of their associates, they are often able to inspire feelings of trust and confidence."
The psychopath recognizes no flaw in his psyche, no need for change.
Psychopaths In the New Age
At the present time, there is a veritable explosion of reports from our readers about their experiences with individuals they have encountered in the "alternative research" fields, as well as in general interactions of their lives. What is so shocking is the number of such individuals that must exist, based on these reports. This is not just an occasional event, it seems to be almost a pandemic!
Our research team and egroup have been engaged for some time in researching and analyzing these interactions and the characteristics and the dynamics and the personalities. Our research has led us to identify them with "Psychopaths." They can also be Narcissists since Narcissism seems to be merely a "facet" of the psychopath or a "milder" manifestation. You could say that the Narcissist is a "garden variety psychopath" who, because of his or her "social programming," has less likelihood of running afoul of the law. In this way, they are very efficient "survival machines," living out their lives doing untold damage to their families, friends and business associates.
It is only when a person takes a long and careful look at the full-blown psychopath - a sort of exaggerated Narcissist - that they are able to see the caricature of the traits that then make it easier for them to identify the "garden variety" psychopath - and/or the Narcissist.
Our world seems to have been invaded by individuals whose approach to life and love is so drastically different from what has been the established norm for a very long time that we are ill- prepared to deal with their tactics of what Robert Canup calls "plausible lie." As he demonstrates, this philosophy of the "plausible lie" has overtaken the legal and administrative domains of our world, turning them into machines in which human beings with real emotions are destroyed.
The recent movie, "The Matrix," touched a deep chord in society because it exemplified this mechanistic trap in which so many people find their lives enmeshed, and from which they are unable to extricate themselves because they believe that everyone around them who "looks human" is, in fact, just like them - emotionally, spiritually, and otherwise.
Take, for example, the "legal argument" as explicated by Robert Canup in his work on the "Socially Adept Psychopath." The legal argument seems to be at the foundation of our society. This amounts to little more than con-artistry: the one who is the slickest at using the structure for convincing a group of people of something, is the one who is believed. Because this "legal argument" system has been slowly installed as part of our culture, when it invades our personal lives, we normally do not recognize it immediately.
Human beings have been accustomed to assume that other human beings are - at the very least - trying to "do right" and "be good" and fair and honest. And so, very often, we do not take the time to use due diligence in order to determine if a person who has entered our life is, in fact, a "good person." And when a conflict ensues, we automatically fall into the cultural assumption that in any conflict, one side is partly right one way, and the other is partly right the other, and that we can form opinions about which side is mostly right or wrong. Because of our exposure to the "legal argument" norms, when any dispute arises, we automatically think that the truth will lie somewhere between two extremes. In this case, application of a little mathematical logic to the problem of the legal argument might be helpful.
Let us assume that in a dispute, one side is innocent, honest, and tells the truth. It is obvious that lying does an innocent person no good; what lie can he tell? If he is innocent, the only lie he can tell is to falsely confess "I did it." But lying is nothing but good for the liar. He can declare that "I didn't do it," and accuse another of doing it, all the while the innocent person he has accused is saying "I didn't do it," and is actually telling the truth.
The truth - when twisted by good liars, can always make an innocent person look bad - especially if the innocent person is honest and admits his mistakes.
The basic assumption that the truth lies between the testimony of the two sides always shifts the advantage to the lying side and away from the side telling the truth. Under most circumstances, this shift put together with the fact that the truth is going to also be twisted in such a way as to bring detriment to the innocent person, results in the advantage always resting in the hands of liars - psychopaths. Even the simple act of giving testimony under oath is useless. If a person is a liar, swearing an oath means nothing to that person. However, swearing an oath acts strongly on a serious, truthful witness. Again, the advantage is placed on the side of the liar. [Robert Canup]
This highlights one of the unique things about the psychopath: their seeming inability to conceive of the abstract idea of "the future."
It has often been noted that psychopaths have a distinct advantage over human beings with conscience and feelings because the psychopath does not have conscience and feelings. What seems to be so is that conscience and feelings are related to the abstract concepts of "future" and "others." It is "spatio-temporal." We can feel fear, sympathy, empathy, sadness, and so on because we can IMAGINE in an abstract way, the future based on our own experiences in the past, or even just "concepts of experiences" in myriad variations. We can "predict" how others will react because we are able to "see ourselves" in them even though they are "out there" and the situation is somewhat different externally, though similar in dynamic. In other words, we can not only identify with others spatially - so to say - but also temporally - in time.
The psychopath does not seem to have this capacity.
They are unable to "imagine" in the sense of being able to really connect to images in a direct "self connecting to another self" sort of way.
Oh, indeed, they can imitate feelings, but the only real feelings they seem to have - the thing that drives them and causes them to act out different dramas for effect - is a sort of "predatorial hunger" for what they want. That is to say, they "feel" need/want as love, and not having their needs/wants met is described as "not being loved" by them. What is more, this "need/want" perspective posits that only the "hunger" of the psychopath is valid, and anything and everything "out there," outside of the psychopath, is not real except insofar as it has the capability of being assimilated to the psychopath as a sort of "food." "Can it be used or can it provide something?" is the only issue about which the psychopath seems to be concerned. All else - all activity - is subsumed to this drive.
In short, the psychopath - and the narcissist to a lesser extent - is a predator. If we think about the interactions of predators with their prey in the animal kingdom, we can come to some idea of what is behind the "mask of sanity" of the psychopath. Just as an animal predator will adopt all kinds of stealthy functions in order to stalk their prey, cut them out of the herd, get close to them and reduce their resistance, so does the psychopath construct all kinds of elaborate camoflage composed of words and appearances - lies and manipulations - in order to "assimilate" their prey.
This leads us to an important quesion: what does the psychopath REALLY get from their victims? It's easy to see what they are after when they lie and manipulate for money or material goods or power. But in many instances, such as love relationships or faked friendships, it is not so easy to see what the psychopath is after. Without wandering too far afield into spiritual speculations - a problem Cleckley also faced - we can only say that it seems to be that the psychopath ENJOYS making others suffer. Just as normal humans enjoy seeing other people happy, or doing things that make other people smile, the psychopath enjoys the exact opposite.
Anyone who has ever observed a cat playing with a mouse before killing and eating it has probably explained to themselves that the cat is just "entertained" by the antics of the mouse and is unable to conceive of the terror and pain being experienced by the mouse, and the cat, therefore, is innocent of any evil intent. The mouse dies, the cat is fed, and that is nature. Psychopaths don't generally eat their victims.
Yes, in extreme cases the entire cat and mouse dynamic is carried out and cannibalism has a long history wherein it was assumed that certain powers of the victim could be assimilated by eating some particular part of them. But in ordinary life, psychopaths and narcissists don't go all the way, so to say. This causes us to look at the cat and mouse scenarios again with different eyes. Now we ask: is it too simplistic to think that the innocent cat is merely entertained by the mouse running about and frantically trying to escape? Is there something more to this dynamic than meets the eye? Is there something more than being "entertained" by the antics of the mouse trying to flee? After all, in terms of evolution, why would such behavior be hard-wired into the cat? Is the mouse tastier because of the chemicals of fear that flood his little body? Is a mouse frozen with terror more of a "gourmet" meal?
This suggests that we ought to revisit our ideas about psychopaths with a slightly different perspective. One thing we do know is this: many people who experience interactions with psychopaths and narcissists report feeling "drained" and confused and often subsequently experience deteriorating health. Does this mean that part of the dynamic, part of the explanation for why psychopaths will pursue "love relationships" and "friendships" that ostensibly can result in no observable material gain, is because there is an actual energy consumption?
We do not know the answer to this question. We observe, we theorize, we speculate and hypothesize. But in the end, only the individual victim can determine what they have lost in the dynamic - and it is often far more than material goods. In a certain sense, it seems that psychopaths are soul eaters or "Psychophagic."

"Official Culture" in America:
A Natural State of Psychopathy?
Origins of Sociopathy
montalk.net :: (CC) 14 July 04
Sociopaths or psychopaths are individuals who lack empathy and engage in predatory behavior without remorse or guilt. In general, this lack of conscience may stem from a conditioned lack of emotional identification with the victim, a narcissistic love of self that overrides any concern for others, or the mechanical inability to feel any emotion other than ones which are chemical or hormonal in origin. There are different categories of psychopaths depending on the underlying cause for their condition and how well they blend into society.
Criminal and Successful Psychopaths
Criminal psychopaths are those who are crude enough in their manipulations to be identified and apprehended by legal and medical institutions. They are known as serial killers, con-artists, burglars, mobsters, mad tyrants, rapists, and delinquents. These comprise a small percentage of psychopaths, and only about 1% of the population.
The rest are successful psychopaths who evade detection by optimally conforming to social ideals without compromising their manipulative nature. They are skilled at faking emotions and passing themselves off as charming, caring, and sociable people. Some use their conformity to appear ordinary, others are more ambitious and become symbols of success by using their charm and intellect to rapidly climb the corporate, political, academic, religious, military, or social ladder. Between 20% and 50% of the population is included in this category.
In general, criminal psychopaths consistently violate laws and social norms while successful psychopaths make use of them. The orthodox medical establishment presently recognizes only the first category under the term “Antisocial Personality Disorder.” There is no diagnostic term categorizing successful psychopaths, who continue to remain medically unidentified. This is no surprise considering a significant portion of the medical establishment consists of these individuals. When mainstream media and medical literature use the term “psychopath” or “sociopath,” they are referring to the small minority of criminal psychopaths. In this article, the term encompasses multiple subcategories and applies to all individuals who lack empathy, whether they are criminals or not.
Expanded Model of Human Behavior
To understand psychopathy, one must first understand human behavior. The enigma of human behavior is commonly reduced to a question of nature versus nurture, genetics versus environment. Typical of materialistic determinism, this model is dangerously simplistic because it focuses only upon the physical and causal basis of human behavior, leaving out the metaphysical factors which are equally as important. An expanded model for human behavior would include the following factors:
- environment – physical influences, social conditioning, mind programming, and education;
- genetics – instinctual bias, physical limitations, and neurochemical makeup;
- soul nature – metaphysical composition based upon level of metaphysical evolution, acquired and shaped by the experiences of prior incarnations;
- fate – predestined and synchronistically arranged experiences that improve soul nature and thus change behavior, also the unwitting modification of one’s behavior to accommodate another’s fate;
- freewill – personal action taken out of choice, entirely non-deterministic;
- nonphysical influences – divine inspiration, telepathic persuasion, etheric thought-forms, and various hyperdimensional technologies.
Souled and Nonsouled Psychopaths
The term “soul” may be defined as a nonphysical unit of consciousness whose core individuality survives death and rebirth. By this definition, some people have individualized souls, some do not. The latter incarnate with definite soul energy, but nothing sufficiently individualized to avoid dissolution after death. The individualized consciousness of souled humans affords them the ability to choose what to do with the genetic, environmental, and karmic conditions they acquire upon incarnating. Nonsouled humans lack this choice and are entirely the product of their environment and genetics. Psychopaths exist within both categories.
Souled psychopaths are either environmentally programmed to act against their own conscience, or else have made the consistent choice to behave in a narcissistic and predatory manner. Those who are programmed have chance for recovery, while the attempt to change those who choose psychopathy only reinforces their behavior. Souled psychopaths feel love and hate, but only love for self and hate for others.
This condition is well illustrated by certain Nazis or Zionists who love their own race but feel no guilt about murdering those of another. Souled psychopaths also have empathy and conscience, but these are perverted and reserved for special cases. For example, some mobsters seem to act upon a strong moral code and thus appear as upright heroes to those they protect, but are nevertheless criminal psychopaths. The greatest tyrants in history were souled psychopaths who passionately pursued their twisted goals.
Since love, empathy, and freewill are qualities associated with having a soul, nonsouled humans are psychopaths by definition. This doesn’t mean all act in obviously predatory ways, just that the severity of their manipulative behavior depends mostly upon environmental and genetic factors, which vary greatly from person to person. Those who face adversity during childhood often mature into criminal psychopaths, while those who have more secure upbringings are less maladjusted and become successful psychopaths. No amount of education, medication, or programming can instill genuine empathy and love within them, for they lack the soul nature necessary to exude these qualities.
Both souled and nonsouled psychopaths display disregard for the suffering of others. While the souled psychopath loves himself beyond everyone else and thus feels justified in exploiting them, the nonsouled psychopath freely exploits others because he lacks the ability to love or empathize with anything.
Genetics
Genetic characteristics determine the physical biases, limitations, and capabilities of an individual. A nonsouled person will be at the mercy of these characteristics while a souled person can choose how to utilize them. Souls often select the bodies into which they incarnate, seeking ones which provide the optimal “toolbox” for their metaphysical needs and best serves their learning agenda or mission. Thus, genetics and soul nature tend to correspond. A nonsouled person with a “sharp” set of tools may, in accordance with environmental programming, use his or her intellectual abilities to deceive and manipulate with perfection. For example, the CEO who manipulated his way up the corporate ladder may simply be an nonsouled psychopath who used his genetic gifts to embody the societal norm of material success.
Genetic flaws can also result in brain abnormalities that hinder the balanced expression of emotion, a common condition in criminal psychopaths. Chemical and electromagnetic factors can exacerbate these tendencies.
The Metaphysical Significance of Bloodlines
Because soul nature and genetics are coupled, the metaphysical significance of bloodlines becomes clear. Bloodlines are characterized by concentrations of specific genetic traits passed down through generations. Correspondingly, souled members of that bloodline share common metaphysical characteristics, suggesting that bloodlines provide the physical vehicle for the implementation of metaphysical goals requiring multiple generations to accomplish.
Thus there exist a variety of bloodlines, each with unique metaphysical predispositions. While some are altruistic and noble in nature, others exist to engage in parasitical elitism and are genetically biased toward successful psychopathy. In that case, nonsouled members would have a high probability of being actively psychopathic. Among its souled members, most incarnate to optimally continue their malevolent agendas, while a few deviate and use their acquired abilities for the better. By genealogically tracing bloodlines and correlating them with historical data, one can determine the fundamental destiny of its descendents. For example, it is well known that US presidential candidates with the strongest royal lineage become elected.
Diffusion of Psychopathic Bloodlines
Due to crossbreeding, many bloodlines transcend racial boundaries and are not geographically isolated. An exception would be royal lineages where active measures are taken to keep the bloodline pure and geographically concentrated. Nevertheless, the important point is that branches of bloodlines biased toward psychopathy inevitably diffuse into the general population and exist in all races. This implies several things.
First, it shows that not only is racist prejudice morally repugnant, but it is also logically flawed because its obtuse criteria falsely condemns the innocent among the hated race and excuses the virulent bloodlines within the favored race. For example, the Nazis condemned the entire Jewish people as subhuman psychopaths when only a few non-semitic bloodlines passing themselves off as Jews justified this claim; there were equal concentrations of psychopathic bloodlines within the caucasian race itself, obviously overlooked by the Nazis due to the blind favoritism of their ideology.
Second, unless a bloodline is geographically isolated or physiologically unique, it is impossible to identify psychopaths by these traits alone. The purpose of identification is not to persecute them, but to identify such behavior when it occurs and understand why it happens.
The success of psychopaths depends heavily upon others excusing their action with rationalizations built on false assumptions. For instance, a nonsouled psychopath may abuse his wife and after she leaves him, he may promise change and use sweet words to appear remorseful. The false assumption is that this person is capable and willing to change for the better. In truth, he is incapable of feeling empathy or remorse and fakes these qualities to perpetuate his manipulations. Understanding the physical and metaphysical basis of human behavior allows one to avoid making such false assumptions and see through false guises that would otherwise appear as genuine.
Psychopathy and Negative Control Systems
Psychopaths who are most intelligent and powerful tend to use lesser ones to do their bidding. This forms a web of control, a negative hierarchy of manipulation that spans from elite globalist cabals down to the neighborhood delinquent or psychopathic spouse. This is not to suggest that the global elite are directly commanding local psychopaths, but rather that there exists a hidden element unifying this hierarchy.
This hidden element originates beyond our realm and consists of advanced non-human psychopaths of an alien or demonic nature who use hyperdimensional technology or telepathic influence to direct all lesser psychopaths, most easily nonsouled ones who lack freewill and are thus freely controlled. This hyperdimensional control system may be appropriately termed the “Matrix,” and the lesser psychopaths may be called “Matrix Agents” due to the similarity between their functions and the themes depicted in the movie.
Empathy is antithetical to control, which is why control systems demand psychopathy as the standard mode of function. Society is best manipulated through an abundant distribution of psychopaths among the lower and upper ranks of society. Toward this end, certain bloodlines have been created or tweaked by negative alien forces to assist the incarnation of malevolently souled individuals, and thus some instances of psychopathy can be said to have alien origins. Those not genetically biased toward psychopathic behavior are nevertheless easily programmed into supporting or idolizing such behavior, especially if they lack the freewill and discernment associated with having a well developed soul.
The Human Condition
The problem of psychopathy rests upon the fact that only the minority of souled psychopaths who have been programmed against their conscience are capable of changing for the better. The other two categories, nonsouled psychopaths and those who choose the path of predation, are in the majority, diffused among the population, and beyond rehabilitation. Their emulation of social ideals and lack of guilt allows them to rise high in society and exploit the masses at large. Our culture’s idolization of psychopathic qualities such as ego-centrism, ruthless ambition, and superficiality provides warm waters for these sharks. Thus, lack of knowledge among people concerning the prevalence, subtlety, and guile of psychopaths only perpetuates their behavior.
Because of ignorance of metaphysical factors, it is commonly assumed that all psychopaths are treatable. In truth, souled psychopaths who choose their path and nonsouled psychopaths are beyond hope—any energy invested toward “changing them” will be wasted, or worse, serve to reinforce their predatory behavior. In short, they abuse your respect, exploit your empathy, and feed upon what energy you put into them. They are best avoided.

Blogger Finds Y2K Bug in NASA Climate Data
Daily Tech
Saturday Aug 11, 2007
Years of bad data corrected; 1998 no longer the warmest year on record
My earlier column this week detailed the work of a volunteer team to assess problems with US temperature data used for climate modeling. One of these people is Steve McIntyre, who operates the site climateaudit.org. While inspecting historical temperature graphs, he noticed a strange discontinuity, or "jump" in many locations, all occurring around the time of January, 2000.
These graphs were created by NASA's Reto Ruedy and James Hansen (who shot to fame when he accused the administration of trying to censor his views on climate change). Hansen refused to provide McKintyre with the algorithm used to generate graph data, so McKintyre reverse-engineered it. The result appeared to be a Y2K bug in the handling of the raw data.
McKintyre notified the pair of the bug; Ruedy replied and acknowledged the problem as an "oversight" that would be fixed in the next data refresh.
NASA has now silently released corrected figures, and the changes are truly astounding. The warmest year on record is now 1934. 1998 (long trumpeted by the media as record-breaking) moves to second place. 1921 takes third. In fact, 5 of the 10 warmest years on record now all occur before World War II. Anthony Watts has put the new data in chart form, along with a more detailed summary of the events.
The effect of the correction on global temperatures is minor (some 1-2% less warming than originally thought), but the effect on the U.S. global warming propaganda machine could be huge.
Then again -- maybe not. I strongly suspect this story will receive little to no attention from the mainstream media.

Homeland Security To Covertly Scan Behavior
Infowars.net | August 9, 2007 
Steve Watson
Scientists and engineers have been asked to devise ways of analysing people's behaviour and physiology from afar, in the hope they may reveal clues about their mental state and even their future intentions, reports the London Guardian .
A program named Project Hostile Intent (PHI) is aiming by 2010 to develop technology that can scan the bodily functions of citizens without them knowing and uncover any possible hostile intent or deception.
Testimony by the American Psychological Association ( PDF link ) states that "Project Hostile Intent aims to detect and model the behavioral cues that indicate an individual's intent to carry out acts of terrorism." The testimony continues:
The cues examined in PHI are those that can be assessed remotely and in real time, and the procedures and technologies required to collect these cues are non-invasive and amenable to integration into busy operational contexts.In other words the technology will be covertly placed in public and will operate just like CCTV, with DHS officials able to remotely access it and apply its use to anyone in the area.
The DHS offers a further brief explanation of Project Hostile Intent here .
The Guardian reports that the DHS has revealed to New Scientist that technology to be used for PHI includes lasers, cameras, eye trackers, microphones and heart rate and breathing sensors. The DHS has also stated that it wishes to develop a lie detector-type test that can be used remotely which is described as "an advantage because it would not interfere with the flow of a crowd and it could be used without the target's knowledge."
The report also states that the Project represents an enhancement of technology already in use to scan faces in crowds, details of which we have previously covered .
Infowars has posted hundreds of articles over the years detailing the involvement of DARPA and the Defense Department in mandating that the States adopt uniform biometrics on state licenses and ID cards, RFID tracker chips to replace the bar-code, and cameras that recognize individuals by their faces, walk, vehicle type or license plate number. Now the DHS is taking America all the way down the line towards the big brother state.
Peter McOwan, a computer scientist who is developing sensors to detect people's moods at Queen Mary, University of London, told the Guardian: "It's just like something from Minority Report. They have been watching too many Tom Cruise movies."
Indeed, the use of this technology for crime prevention and social control is beyond anything Orwell predicted, and is directly lifted from Phillip K Dick's Minority Report, which was recently made into a feature film. See below:
Is this the kind of society we want to live in? Clearly not. Is there even a debate about that?
Once again however, those detached from any kind of moral reality will say "If you've got nothing to hide then what is the problem with being scanned for pre-crime? If it keeps us all safe from terrorists I'm all for it". How far towards a literal technological police state can America slip before its people wake up to the fact?
We have also previously covered reports out of Britain that detail how teams of neuroscientists have developed technology that allowing them to look deep inside a person's brain and read their intentions before they act.
The technology is no longer science fiction. The London Guardian report on the developments earlier this year debated whether a 'Minority Report' era, where judgments are handed down before the law is broken on the strength of an incriminating brain scan, is ethical or not.
And what will be the punishment for pre-crime? With moves to "chemically castrate" sex offenders by eliminating their sexual desires, seriously being considered now, how far fetched is it to imagine a future thought criminal's brain being "corrected" by eliminating the relevant desires or emotions picked up by a brain scan?
It is not beyond reason to expect this technology to be implemented without debate. Can anyone remember a real meaningful debate occurring concerning surveillance cameras before four million of them went up in London?
We have also previously reported on documents leaked from the Home Office in London revealing that the British government is looking into using X-ray technology cameras by concealing them in lamp posts to "trap terror suspects".
With the Bush administration's new ability to implement any surveillance programs it now wishes without oversight, and rabid neocon lapdogs calling for the heads of anyone who questions them, a pandora's box has been opened that threatens to turn America into a big brother panopticon state.
So get it straight, you are helping the terrorists by resisting having your behaviour scanned. Plus, if you have anti-big brother government feelings Project Hostile Intent will certainly expose you for he terrorist you are.

Security firms working on devices to spot would-be terrorists in crowd
Counter-terrorism experts have drawn up plans to develop an array of advanced technologies capable of spotting would-be terrorists in a crowd before they have time to strike.
Scientists and engineers have been asked to devise ways of analysing people's behaviour and physiology from afar, in the hope they may reveal clues about their mental state and even their future intentions.
Under Project Hostile Intent, scientists will aim to build devices that can pick up tell-tale signs of hostile intent or deception from people's heart rates, perspiration and tiny shifts in facial expressions. The project was launched by the US department of homeland security with a call to security companies and government laboratories for assistance.
According to the timetable set out, the new devices are expected to be trialled at a handful of airports, borders and ports of entry by 2012.
The plans describe how systems based on video cameras, laserlight, infra-red, audio recordings and eye tracking technology are expected to scour crowds looking for unusual behaviour, with the aim of identifying people who should be approached and quizzed by security staff, New Scientist magazine reports. The project hopes to advance a security system already employed by the US transportation security administration that monitors people for unintentional facial twitches, called "micro-expressions", that can suggest someone is lying or trying to conceal information.
Studies by Paul Ekman, a psychologist at the University of California, San Francisco, have revealed that involuntary expressions can often betray someone's true intentions. If you flash your teeth, lower your eyebrows and wrinkle your nose for a fraction of a second while trying to smile, you have just demonstrated the micro-expression for disgust.
A major hurdle will be developing technology that can make correct decisions quickly. "Right now, screeners have typically less than one minute to examine a traveller's documents and assess whether they are a threat," said Larry Orluskie, of the department of homeland security.
The project is also expected to investigate developing a lie detector-type test that can be used remotely - an advantage because it would not interfere with the flow of a crowd and it could be used without the target's knowledge.
Experts yesterday were sceptical that today's technology will be able to predict hostile intent accurately enough to be useful. Dr Ekman said a terrorist might confound security measures by showing a range of expressions from fear of being caught to distress at the possibility of dying. "I don't know. No one knows," he told New Scientist.
Anthony Richards, a counter-terrorism expert at St Andrews University who has worked on Britain's ability to pre-empt a major terrorist attack, agreed that the project faced substantial hurdles.
"There could be all kinds of reasons that might make people behave in certain ways that have nothing to do with terrorism. If you have heightened security and there are a lot of police around, it could be possible that you can feel and look guilty even when you haven't done anything wrong. "We need to reduce the motivation for people doing these kinds of things. We shouldn't just accept that terrorism will remain as it is or worsen over the next 20 or 30 years and then just put all the technological solutions in place. Technology is certainly important in the fight against terrorism but that shouldn't detract from the crucially important challenge of finding out what is driving terrorism. We need to have a sensible and honest appraisal as to what is radicalising young people."
Peter McOwan, a computer scientist who is developing sensors to detect people's moods at Queen Mary, University of London, said: "It's just like something from Minority Report. They have been watching too many Tom Cruise movies."

The Matrix Reloaded: Revelation of the Method
Alex Jones May 23 2003The first "Matrix" was obviously new age in its overall presentation: that you've got to believe in yourself and then you can change the
parameters of reality from within. And it had the overall message that there is anotherreality, that we are in a false reality. It covered and explained denial, how some people want to remain inside the lie and don't want to know the truth, don't want to remember the truth, want to be reinserted into the fraud at the cost of their sovereignty, their liberty, their freedom, their creativity.
And it had, of course, a lot of violence in it but it was a fight against machines so it wasn't real human beings that were dying. And there were a lot of young people who were affected by the powerful and dark overtones of the film - and were obviously already unstable. Whether it was because of government programming or the general culture and (they) went out and shot people inside of the film.
And so I was ambiguous. I am certainly a Christian and didn't follow the New Age, Hindu or Buddhist line but I was still overall not sure if the film was a production of the globalists. Well, now I am sure that The Matrix I and The Matrix II: "Matrix Reloaded," are in the most pure sense Illuminati productions.
The film begins obviously with a group of trailers and there is a wide screen shot that has been squeezed down and distorted as an authority figure-type man in black sits behind a table with flickering subliminals being splashed on the screen, talking about power-aid. This is before the film begins. And he talks down to you and says you are not even going to understand what I'm saying to you - you pathetic mindless, hive-minded units. You are units that power the Matrix. Drink your power-aid. Do as you are ordered to do.
So that's how the film begins. And then it launches into the world of the Matrix - that is the real physical world of the underground base of Zion. Yes, Zion. And you have the marauding forces that surface through the wrecked cities above and transmit the minds or the souls in a type of digital, astral projection into the machine world or the Matrix. And you are told that both of these are reality because perception is reality. And the whole film is basically Illuminati characters - dark masonic overtones with a dark occult leader. And he says that we are the occult, we're the vampires, we're the werewolves, we're the demons, telling them that ... And, of course, he called them Merovingian or the Merovingian bloodline. This is what the Satanists, based in France, believe that they are descendants of Jesus and his brothers, with Satan. This is deep occult, Illuminati stuff. And he tells them how pathetic and little they are and how they are controlled by their instincts, how he manipulates those. It's kind of like the speech you see Al Pacino give in "Devil's Advocate" and how they can't control these impulses. And how they really need the Illuminati. And he, of course, stays in a French castle.
By the way, our royal leaders just met in a French castle in the very countryside they represent in the movie. Of course, the Merovingian is French. And, again, I'm just telling you about small tidbits of this. I've got to go back and take notes, which I will do. I've never seen a more powerful, overtly soul-twisting, mind-control film.
There is lesbian and homosexual scenes in the film - mass orgies, similar to what the Greeks engaged in. There also is - everyone has chip implants and chip plug-ins - and this is a good thing. They have a little speech in there where if the machines aren't bad, we can fight them with all of this. So it is making the new fashion statement. Probably one of the strongest cultural movements we've seen in modern history is "The Matrix." The video games and the cartoons now and the bunch of spin-off cartoons for the big screen and DVD. They are conditioning the children that it's normal to have plug-ins into your mind - wireheads, as they were called decades ago. It's fashionable to have in-plant points all over your body.
Also, it gets into the Satanic view of 'Do as thou wilt.' You have people within the Matrix, different programs, fighting with each other for control and domination but at the end of it, you are face-to-face with the architect. And again, this is the masonic, 33 degree and above view that they are shaping our world and even if the Matrix is defeated, it still wins because it replicates itself. It is in time and space. It can go back in time and restart itself.
And the architect is old man Sigmund Freud, Obe Won Kenobe- archtype who sits there and tells Neo that they have allowed people to leave the Matrix. That they discovered that suppressing an exodus from the Matrix actually causes a shutdown and a degradation of the 99% that remain inside their exoluthal (sp) tanks as human batteries for the power grid. And, again, you find out that basically the computers are disembodied spirits or angels or devils and have all the same carnal desires as humans but with an added viciousness, like Greek Gods.
It is an Illuminati film through and through. They tell you we are the Illuminati, we are throwing this in your face. They look right at you on the screen and say we are taking over. There is no way to defeat us. We are going to dominate you. We are going to bring you into the evermind - the hive mind. And it's not just Wired Magazine and Silicon Weekly and many other publications, including Salon Today, that are warning you of the takeover. Last year a new Army War College report, in 2000, came out and said within 25 years we will all be in a hive mind, that the Pentagon will oversee the insertion of the public into a control grid. That we will all be mounted in our homes, wired into a global government mind-control computer. It actually said this. The Sunday Morning Herald got the federal document. We called the head(garbled). The head scientist, a woman, said how did you learn of this, and freaked out and hung the phone up. These idiots, of course, release this stuff and don't even know what they are up to - or perhaps that was an act, we're not sure.
Three years ago in 2000, the Army War College said the army's main job will be, through peer pressure, convincing the public to take brain chips by 2024, the same year number in the new report last year. They are preparing you for your journey into the real matrix.
Now if you are shocked by this, I've been warning you long before "The Matrix" came out that this was their plan. The elite, of course, will not be implanted. And most of you are going to be killed after they release mass plagues. This is if they get you herded into the larger cities. And yesterday, I read from Wired News, out of the newest DARPA document where they say everything you do will be tracked and traced and you will be plugged into that system. I'm sure you saw all the newscasts in same exact words, in the same order, showing implantation of members of the public. I have promotionals where the family that took the chips is called "wonderous, genius, cool", "everybody wants it." "Everybody is going to get it." As the Pentagon says, they are going to use hype to drive and push this.
This is real. Truth is stranger than fiction. And to have the Illuminati shout at me for two hours was very, very painful. I was nauseated during the first 30 minutes of the film. I will have to, of course, when it's on DVD get a copy and try to free frame it. There was a continual flickering through the screen which they admit is for hypnosis. There are subliminals in the film both overtly in the tapestry in the buildings, in the background in what the people say. And, also just like with the "The Exorcist," which they now admit was written by the former deputy director of the CIA, they put flash frames, a primitive form of subliminal, in that film, which is now admitted - blood and guts and then Satan. There were other subliminals here. I'm not sure exactly what the covert sublimanals were but they were definitely there in the front of the film at higher levels and then saturated in emotional scenes when your conscious mind is diverted. In the primitive combat function, mammalian activity structure. So this is what we are facing.
I recommend that you do not see the film. I know with the reverse psychology, you will probably see it. Curiosity killed the cat. I felt like walking out of the film. It was the most gripping experience of overt mind control I have ever experienced. You can see what the new science of film is going to be.
So this is a warning to everyone. Definitely do not let your children see it. It is a preparation to go into the literal matrix being built by the Pentagon. In fact, just in case you are doubting me, let me re-read from Wired News yesterday, "A Spy Machine of DARPA's Dreams." This is not a spy machine. This is a cashless society control grid. Once you are buying and selling on the system, they will then launch attacks that are one-thousand times larger than 9/11, at least. You will then be herded into cities, tracked and traced with cameras in your homes. Your children, who have already been conditioned, the Washington Post admitted, to body modification and piercing, to condition them to accept implantation. The films that are flooding out are conditioning them as well. The children's shows in Canada, like Spy TV, and the movies here, like Spy Kids, are all part of this preparation. It will be made a status symbol to be implanted and this is what the Pentagon says.
So this is a tracking matrix grid that's being built by Sun Microsystems and Oracle and others. Oracle, got to go see the oracle. Yes, the Delphi technique.
"A Spy Machine of DARPA's Dreams - http://www.wired.com/news/print/0,1294,58909,00.html: "It's a memory aid! A robotic assistant! An epidemic detector! An all-seeing, ultra-intrusive spying program!"
"The Pentagon is about to embark on a stunningly ambitious research project"
Okay, DARPA had microphones in Austin by the hundreds, five years ago. They announced it after it was already in place.
"The Pentagon is about to embark on a stunningly ambitious research project designed to gather every conceivable bit of information about a person's life, index" it and "and make it searchable"
"What national security experts and civil libertarians want to know is, why would the Defense Department want to do such a thing?"
"The embryonic LifeLog program would dump everything an individual does into a giant database: every e-mail sent or received, every picture taken, every Web page surfed, every phone call made, every TV show watched, every magazine read."
"All of this -- and more -- would combine with information gleaned from a variety of sources: a GPS transmitter to keep tabs on where that person went, audio-visual sensors to capture what he or she sees or says, and biomedical monitors to keep track of the individual's health."
"This gigantic amalgamation of personal information could then be used to "trace the 'threads' of an individual's life," to see exactly how a relationship or events developed, according to a briefing from the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency, LifeLog's sponsor."
That's total information awareness now changed to LifeLog. And they meant to call it LifeLog all along, my friends. They already have these systems set up. Bill Clinton gave speeches about homeland security in 1993. I've seen policy papers from twenty years ago calling it homeland security. Lifelog is a life log of everything you've done in your life, a recording of it and a digital psychological algorithm to be set up to tailor advertising the brainwashing systems.
It's very serious. This is the end of the species if Satan wins. We must resist. But just be informed that "The Matrix" is a military industrial complex production in every way and as you go deeper down the rabbit hole, each trip until you are in a brain-scrambled position, not even able to resist the New World Order. Of course, the Tavistock Institute and other mind-control facilities have published studies and we have talked about them on air, where if you terrorize a mammal for a certain period, it will become docile and accepting. And they tell you in the film and explain the matrix to you and the New World Order and the Illuminati, so you can be more accepting of it. That you need that choice. That it is something they've got to do due to the rules of God's programming that they are converting and manipulating with their counterfeits.
The oldest form of mind control is superstition. The witch doctor knew when the solar or lunar eclipse was coming and he was generally part of a hereditary guild, or kind of your first masonic lodge. And he didn't know why there was an eclipse but he knew when it was coming. And it happened so infrequently that people would forget about it. And he would use that knowledge to shock and amaze members of the tribe - and then get special favors: the best hut, the best women, the best food. And then later, you've got strong men over larger tribes that settled in agrarian societies, that is farming societies. The kings would learn how to have top witch doctors to manipulate and control the public. And
that's what you have happening.
The globalists know that you are waking up to the fact that there is a New World Order. So they are playing up the psychics and the new age and all these other religions - the establishment Christians, as well. All putting out their propaganda. All putting out their false doctrines. And when you see a society in decline, the empires always use superstition and gladiatorial diversions to divert and distract them. And that is exactly what I saw in "The Matrix." And overall, the globalists in your face submitting its revelation of the method, Illuminati terms, homosexual orgies, and much, much more. This is a corrupting film. And if you tell your kids they can't go because they are too young or the
movie is too cool for them, you ought to explain to them that it is something that can degradate them and to suck them into fad system and to control them. It is, my friends, overtly a mind control film. I can authoritatively say that to you here today. And that's all I'm going to say about it.
You see we can defeat the New World Order on the basis of the information, on the basis of hard facts with God's help and direction. If they get us off into la-la land and get us off into delusional stuff, we are never going anywhere, my friends.
Another Firefighter Testifies On Explosions Inside WTC
BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Firefighter John Schroeder, assigned to Engine Company 10 directly across the street from the World Trade Center complex, holds back tears and describes his first-hand experience on Sept. 11th. His story directly contradicts many aspect of the National Commission on Terrorist attacks though corroborates many other eyewitness testimony.
“Standing outside the firehouse with my buddies, we were talking about how beautiful the day was. Then just like that, our lives changed forever. Some of those guys I would never see again.”
In this exclusive interview, Firefighter Schroeder recollects in great detail how he was one of the first firefighters to rush to the complex. “We first assembled on West Street, where we saw someone burnt beyond recognition. We were like ‘What is going on here?’ and then went straight into the Marriot building” From there, Firefighter Schroeder made his way to the lobby of the North Tower. “It looked like a bomb went off, and we started making our way up the stairs to rescue as many people as we could.”
As they were making there way up the floors, Firefighter Schroeder heard a huge explosion. “The elevators just blew right out. We couldn’t believe it. The plane hits 80 floors up but the elevators explode at least five minutes later? It was unreal.”
Firefighter Schroeder made it all the way up to the 23rd floor before barely hearing on the failing radios that another plane was coming in. That plane would hit the South Tower though for some reason “We were tossed like a rag doll by another explosion in our building. People were making there way down the stairwells burnt like you couldn’t believe. We were all shocked because it seemed as if there was fire everywhere, on so many floors. It just didn’t make sense”.
The stairwells were black, and at that point, firefighters were making the decision to head back down stairs. In making there way down to the third floor, they were not able to find an exit. “The lobby was like a war zone. We could not find our way out. Then, all of a sudden, one of the maintenance workers had a key that opened a back door that got us out of there. He saved my life.” That worker was Willie Rodriguez. “I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart.
Firefighter Schroeder today has lost 40% of his lung capacity. “We haven’t been treated properly at all. From the day of the attack, our physical and mental health has deteriorated and it seems as if no one cares. To lose friends, to have to recover their bodies in the days after, to be offered no protections against that horrific-smelling dust that was everywhere even though the government said the air was OK to breathe is just not right.” Some of Firefighter’s Schroeder’s best friends have gotten out of the FDNY altogether while others accepted money and trips to help. “I stayed right here and did the right thing and now it feels as if I’m suffering the most. Where is our government to help the one’s with the toughest jobs on that day and the days after?”
John Schroeder, we want to thank you for being as brave as your job requires in speaking out about your experiences on Sept/ 11th. You have set the historical record straight by explaining your story. This Nation is forever greatful to you as your account will help to save and protect many more lives.
Today, tens of thousands of such 9/11 first responders are in dire need of medical care due to the environmental conditions after the 3 towers imploded at Ground Zero. Diagnosed with cancers and debilitating respiratory illnesses, these true American heroes have been denied the financial benefits required to save their lives. While suffering and deteriorating, their health crisis has been ignored by state and federal policy. Many have already died.
Composed of family members, friends and fellow Americans of individuals who perished on that fateful day, We are Change will fight to raise awareness and consciousness to the first responder's illnesses and hardships. We are determined to put a face to the thousands of forgotten victims of the 9/11 attacks 6 years later.
Terrorists Win: Americans Living In Perpetual Fear
Poll numbers confirm majority of Americans feel less safe than before 9/11 as more globalist figureheads promise huge attacksThe poll commissioned by Hart/Newhouse and released by The Wall Street Journal and NBC News finds that 37 per cent of respondents feel the U.S. is more vulnerable to an attack today than it was six years ago, that is a significant rise of 14 points since last September.
Over a thousand people were asked "Do you think that, as a country, we are more safe, about as safe, or less safe than we were before the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001?". The results are summarized in the table below.
Jul. 2007

It should comes as no surprise to learn that more people feel less safe given that they have been subjected to a vastly increased daily dose of terror fearmongering for over a year now.
A whole host of government officials and neocon talking heads are literally promising that major attacks are on the way while more and more freedom stripping legislation is being passed by a whimpering Congress who have now proven that they hold no sway whatsoever over the neocon cabal inside the White House.The latest globalist choir boy to chirp into action is former CIA Director James Woolsey who has asserted that terrorists could strike the America with a weapon of mass destruction this summer or early fall. Woolsey even hinted that an upcoming terror attack may be nuclear:
Certainly the Soviets had atomic demolition munitions that were relatively small — ours were smaller, I think. But each of us had ADMS that could easily be carried by one man. That was also true of some of the smaller nuclear artillery shells that existed. So it's not impossible that a terrorist group could try to get hold of a former Soviet relatively small nuclear warhead.
In the same breath Woolsey also warned that if Iran fails to comply with international efforts to stop its nuclear weapons program, the U.S. will have no other option than to bomb it. He answered in response to ridiculous questioning from Neocon rag Newsmax which asked "Is Iran preparing military action against the U.S.?"Of course, Woolsey's suggestion for what Americans can do in the face of this perpetual imminent attack is to pressure their representatives into not restricting the president's push to exert total authority over Congress and implement whatever big brother surveillance programs and martial law directives he sees fit:
Well, the thing that we can do in the short order that is most important is not to cut back on our intelligence capabilities, whether it's through restricting the president's ability to intercept communications or otherwise. We know how to do that reasonably well and don't want to shoot ourselves in the foot by cutting back on it.
Woolsey has repeated this same mantra over and over since 9/11, perhaps not surprisingly given that he is a director of the Washington-based private equity firm Paladin Capital, a company which, as the London Observer reported in 2003, was set up three months after 9/11 as a business opportunity which 'offer[s] substantial promise for homeland security investment'.
Woolsey's remarks come on the back of the same type of endless warnings from The director of national Intelligence, Mike McConnell, FBI Director Robert Mueller, Homeland Security director Michael Chertoff all of whom have recently stated that a huge attack is imminent without giving any specific or credible evidence, instead referring to "gut feelings" and "imaginations"
The fear poll figures represent the fallout of these government figureheads dropping crude hints and hunches in addition to the mainstream media's completely inability to analyze and debate the facts rather than simply spewing out segment after segment of fearmongering terror repetition.
Take a look at this article from the so called conservative Editors of FamilySecurityMatters.org which echoes Woolsey's call for Americans to quietly accept the government's attempts to abolish the fourth amendment in the name of a "gut feeling":
A prime example of what not to do is the spectacle that transpired in the Senate just this past week with liberals insisting that court orders be obtained under the FISA program to intercept suspected terrorist conversations occurring between foreign countries! What are they smoking?
Citizens take note: whatever Senators wanted to enforce FISA restrictions on the president in these circumstances should, in our humble opinion, be kicked out of office. We are not playing paddycake with terrorists who lust for our deaths. This is all out war and our “leaders” need to get serious but fast about winning it. Note: Every Republican who voted was in favor of the amendments to FISA. They were joined by seventeen Democrats: Bayh, Carper, Casey, Conrad, Feinstein, Inouye, Klobuchar, Landrieu, Lieberman, Lincoln, McCaskill, Mikulski, Nelson (Fla.), Nelson (Neb.), Pryor, Salazar, and Webb. Twenty-eight Democrats, amazingly, voted against this vital measure.
Those vicious American people who actually want to hold onto their rights and freedoms, the very things they have repeatedly been told are the reason the terrorists hate them and attacked them in the first place, what ARE they smoking?

FDR said "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself - nameless, unreasoning, unjustified, terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."

If this is true then congratulations must go to the terrorists for they have won. However, it was not the "terrorists" we were warned about that took away our rights.
