Pyramid Power - The Minitruth

"Four buildings towered vast and white above the grimy landscape. They were startingly different from any other objects in sight. They were enormous pyramidical sructures of glittering white concrete, soaring up, terrace after terrace, 300 metres into the air. So completely did they dwarf the surrounding architecture that from the roof of VICTORY MANSIONS you could see all four of them simultaneously. They were the homes of the four Ministries between which the entire apparatus of government was divided. The Ministry of Truth, which concerned itself with news, entertainment, education, and the fine arts. The Ministry of Peace, which concerned itself with war. the Ministry of Love, which maintained law and order. And the Ministry of Plenty, which was responsible for economic affairs. Their names in Newspeak: Minitrue, Minipax, Miniluv, and Miniplenty." --George Orwell, "1984"

And yesterday's news:

"North Korea's 'Hotel of Doom' wakes from its coma", By Jon Herskovitz

"SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea's phantom hotel is stirring back to life. Once dubbed by Esquire magazine as "the worst building in the history of mankind", the 105-storey Ryugyong Hotel is back under construction after a 16-year lull in the capital of one of the world's most reclusive and destitute countries.

According to foreign residents in Pyongyang, Egypt's Orascom group has recently begun refurbishing the top floors of the three-sided pyramid-shaped hotel whose 330-metre (1,083 ft) frame dominates the Pyongyang skyline."

I thought that this was such a curious, truly incomprehensible story. Why would North Korea, a country that has been wracked by famine and a disastrous economy take on such an expensive and bizarre project as this? Do they really expect to fill the 3000 room hotel with tourists clamoring see the North Korean Army's Victory Day Parade and "Dear Leader" in his leisure suit waving from the Victory balcony?

And, what can explain the telecommunications tower on the top being build by Orascom Group, an Egyptian company. From Wikipedia:

"In April 2008, foreign residents in Pyongyang noted that Egypt's Orascom Group had started refurbishing the top floors of the hotel, putting in windows and installing telecommunications antennas. The installation of the telecommunications equipment is considered somewhat of an unusual move since owning a mobile phone is illegal in North Korea. The Orascom Telecom subsidiary of the group confirmed involvement in the structure, but no details were available." -- See Ryugyong Hotel

Is Kim Jung Il on drugs? He must be. It seems inconceivable that the communist leader of North Korea, an avowed enemy of the west would want to give such a sensitive job to people who no doubtably will use the technology to spy on his country. What ever happened to Kim's acclaimed paranoia? And, why a pyramid? Not exactly a traditional building style in North Korea.

Speaking of inexplicable pyramids, I also found a number of modern-day pyramid projects, some already built, and others in the planning stages, including one pyramid in Germany that is reported to be 10 times bigger that the Great pyramid of Giza, and the Shimizu Mega-City pyramid to be built in Tokyo Bay in Japan, which will be 12-times bigger! And you thought Kim Jung Il's pyramid is strange, the one in Germany will be a massive cemetery -- that's right, over 578 square meters of dead people.

From CNET:

"Instead of being a monument to only a few individuals, Germany's Great Pyramid would be a communal tomb open to anyone regardless of nationality or denomination. It would offer burial space in the form of a "tomb container with ashes of the deceased" and engraved "memorial stones" with time capsules to store personal memorabilia." -- "Great Pyramid' made in Germany?

brrrrrr,

...and, "The project has been given starter funding by the "Future of Labor" program of the government-backed German Federal Cultural Foundation."

The "Future of Labor" program and a gigantic pyramid for the dead? Sound's like the future works program that Orwell wrote about in "1984":

"War, it will be seen, accomplishes the necessary destruction, but accomplishes it in a psychologically acceptable way. In principle it would be quite simple to waste the surplus labour of the world by building temples and pyramids, by digging holes and filling them up again, or even by producing vast quantities of goods and then setting fire to them. But this would provide only the economic and not the emotional basis for a hierarchical society." (Orwell, Chapter 9, Part II).

Minitrue to the Rescue

But instead of fulfilling our emotional needs with war, maybe our shadowy overlords are not so morbid after all. For example, Minitrue was also about fulfilling our emotional needs with entertainment and the arts. Perhaps our modern day pyramids could be places of worship too, sort of like the Pyramid of Peace in Astana, Kazakhstan. Though not exactly a religious temple it was designed to bring the world's religions together to foster peace and understanding:

"(Foster and Partners) has described it as “dedicated to the renunciation of violence and the promotion of faith and human equality”. As Foster’s fellow director, David Nelson, charged with delivering the pyramid, puts it: “It was one of those things that captures the imagination. We felt that if someone wants to bring together the world’s religions, that is something that’s well worth doing at the moment. As a symbol, the pyramid is not really owned by any of today’s religions." -- See Article

So, with our economic and and spiritual needs now met, what to do for leisure time? How about a game of ball in the Walter Pyramid or Memphis Pyramid or a game of craps at Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas?

Let the games go on.

Winston...hold on tightly to your paperweight.

Olbermann's message to Obama on FISA legislation

Keith Olbermann hits the nail right on the head by pointing out the recent FISA legislation's loophole, legislation that Barack Obama voted for. I turns out that there is no criminal immunity written in the legislation for the "criminals" themselves, i.e., Bush and gang, just liability from civil prosecution.

Will Obama take up the challenge of truly protecting the constitution and our rights by pursuing criminal prosecutions in the future? This is the question Olbermann poses. I think I know that answer to that question... but one can fantasize.

Also, in this video Olbermann spells out the lie that the administration protected us from terrorism by reminding us just who was in charge on 9/11. By stating the forbidden truth and giving Americans real news and commentary, Olbermann is showing himself to be one of the most courageous voices in broadcast news. Peabody anyone?

Weather by design

Regarding the bizarre weather that has been devastating some of the most agriculturally productive areas in the world in the last few months we might want to consider that perhaps the strange weather is not just the result of: 1. "Global warming," the most popular explanation for almost all bad weather; 2. God's wrath against his disobedient, insolent children, a favorite of Pat Robertson and Louis Farrahkan and their ilk; or even; 3. a bout of inclement weather no particular fault of anybody, divine or otherwise.

I know what your saying, but what else can explain the strange, destructive weather if not for one of these three things?

How about environmental modification, or ENMOD for short?

I bring this up because about two months ago I got an email from award-winning journalist Keith Harmon Snow on this topic. His email came shortly after Myanmar (Burma) was hit by a massive cyclone that devastated a huge swath of its rice bowl region and killed an estimated 25,000 people. He was responding to others who had written to him asking him if he had thought that weather modification had somehow played a role in the catastrophe. Here's what he wrote:

"[I] Just want to share that I believe the "cyclone" that hit Burma (Myanmar) was quite likely a product of U.S. military programs in weather warfare. I would assign the likelihood of that a 75 to 90% probability -- that the Pentagon "modified" the storm center (as they clearly know how to do)."

Now, that's quite a statement, and we may want to ask why we should give any credence to Mr. Snow's comments. Well, for one thing Snow has researched and written extensively about weather modification for many years. He was one of the earliest journalist to tackle this hidden technology, and, most importantly, he was once also an insider. In the 80's he worked on classified programs for the Strategic Defense Initiative program at GE Aerospace Electronics Laboratories. You will find his research carefully documented and cited. You can read his very comprehensive articles on weather modification on his website: www.allthingspass.com

Snow writes in Out of the Blue: The invisible U.S. military offensives in weather as a weapon":

"Adherents of weather warfare prefer to call it “environmental modification” – or ENMOD. The corporate media has reported almost nothing about these aerospace and defense programs. Global climatic mayhem is here, and it is happening now. On top of all this is the permanent state of war perpetuated by multinational corporations and their agents in western governments. Behind this threshold of climate chaos the military is manipulating our weather."

So, you might be asking, is there any evidence that the military really is manipulating the weather? Well, we have the militaries' own documents that prove they are working on such projects and have actually used them in the field. Recently this document "Non Lethal Warfare Proposal" surfaced from a FOI request and was reported in Wired magazine. It describes a proposal from the Navy's China Lake Research Center for more ENMOD research and development. Under the subhead "Capability & Uses" the Navy advocates using weather modification for these stated purposes:

1: To impede or deny the movement of personnel and material because of rains - floods, snow-blizzards, etc. and

2: To disrupt economy due to the effect of floods, droughts, etc.

And, here the document spells out the success of the militaries' weather modification program going way back to the Vietnam era:

"By way of background, weather modification was used successfully in Viet Nam to (among other things) hinder and impede the movement of personnel and material from North Viet Nam to South Viet Nam."

So, here the military acknowledges that weather modification is part of military strategy and that they have used it successful in the field of operation.

But besides military applications, could there be other possible motives behind this program? Here Snow postulates:

"Destabilization and access are the motives. High profits for the AID (misery) industry. Access BY the misery industry allows the intelligence apparatus to penetrate deeper and with this the defense apparatus. Destabilization promotes popular disconent and offers countless opportunities for the WEST to manipulate and benefit from popular discontent (with the "regime"). More leverage against CHINA. And then there is a really simple one: The military gets to see its technologies in use, to prove and further refine and validate them.

I would also like to submit that besides these motives there are a great deal of profits to be made in the world's trading floors from such technology. Ever hear of weather and commodities derivatives? These speculative trading schemes could only be possible in the Vegas-like system that we call western capitalism. When one plays in derivatives, traders can take a position that corn or rice, or even rainfall levels, will be below or above a certain "strike" price at some specified time in the future. Depending on whether the stock goes down or up on that date (the "put" or "call" option) the trader can profit mightily as it is only required that he put up only 10% on the value of the option. You might recall that a great deal of put options were placed around 9/11 betting that certain airline stock would fall, making some individuals very rich.

Could the elite be gaming the system by using this quiet warfare on us all for strategic purposes and for profits? Oh, I know, I am are going down the rabbit hole again with this one, but this blog isn't called Redpill 8 for no reason. (If you consider yourself a respectable person who worries about their perceived reputation you shouldn't linger around these pages for fear of getting called a nutcase, or worse.)

Today's technology has advanced at such and astonishing rate that one wonders how far ENMOD has evolved since Operation Popeye days. If it is anything like the recent advances in biotechnology and nanotechnology we should be very aware and leery of this technology. In the wrong hands it is anything but "non-lethal," and if it is being used we need some whistle blowers brave enough to expose it.

The fact that the media won't talk about this technology but would rather focus on Britney Spear's drinking binges and Obama's ministers doesn't make ENMOD any less unreal, it just means it is much more effectively covered up.

Progressive organizations are also missing the boat on this and refuse to acknowledge the existence of such programs, preferring once again to parrot the official narrative -- that global warming is due to man's carbon omissions and we are all to blame. But are we all?

I think Snow says it best later in his email:

"What the military learned long ago was that global climate mayhem offers the perfect camouflage, the perfect cover for militrary adventuraism (devastation) in weather warfare. As long as people are complaining about how we need to address global climate change and not talking about weather warfare technologies and weather as a weapon programs we are involved in an exercise in futility."
