US Software Writer Tells How He Wrote Election-Rigging System

Mr Curtis (Clinton Eugene) a Software programmer who worked for NASA, Exxon Mobil & the US Department of Transportation in a sworn-oath deposition testifies that US elections are rigged by inserting software into the voting system. The timing of this deposition was just after George W Bush being re-elected president of the United States. We are not surprised that this never made it into the main stream media.

Mr Curtis goes on to name US Representatives who attempted to pay him to rig their election vote counts.

He says that it is easy to install a small software program into the voting system that will flip the count 51 to 49 to whoever you wanted to win an election. He goes on to say that these small programs are undetectable utilising no more than 100 lines of code, which is minimal. Mr Curtis stated “No one would ever see it, unless you have access to the source code or you were able to count the hard copy votes and compare them to the electronic count”

How to Grow and Raise 100% of Your Food

Gaye Levy, Contributing Writer
Activist Post

At one time or another, every prepper will ask him or herself: could I become 100% self-reliant in terms of proving food for myself and my family? And most of us will say, no, that is not possible.

Today I would like you to re-think that proposition because, with time, planning, and a bit of luck, it is possible if not always practical. But let me start at the beginning.

Food Production Systems for A Backyard or Small Farm

A few weeks ago I invited some like-minded friends over for a survival meal made from my items in my food storage and a viewing of the DVD: Food Production Systems for a Backyard or Small Farm The four of us watched the DVD from start to finish with many pauses for discussion points and to take notes. So what did we think?

Well first of all, let me say that this is a pretty amazing DVD in that it covers so much in just a couple of hours. And while the DVD itself does not go in to extensive detail about the various topics, the included resource DVD does. Perhaps it is best to start with an outline of the DVD itself plus a 3-minute trailer.

As you look through these topics, you will see that almost every aspect of food production is covered. From figuring our your water needs, to selecting chickens and your coop, to determining the correct type of fruit trees for your orchard, there are practical tips that every one can embrace. (Personally, though, I did fast forward through the butchering section.)

More Mass Resignations Hit Banks In February 2012

The numbers are accelerating.

February Fever: Why are Major Bank Executives Resigning Left and Right?

23rd February 2012

By Madison Ruppert

Contributing Writer for Wake Up World PDF D/L in this Link

This month has seen a rash of top level resignations across some of the most major banking institutions across the globe.

There has also been news of potential upcoming resignations which could have a considerable impact as well, not the least of which is the potential resignation of Lloyd Blankfein, chief executive officer (CEO) of Goldman Sachs.

According to Fortune, this could occur as early as this summer, although this is still merely a possibility and far from set in stone.

However, there are many very real and quite perplexing instances of bank heads quitting across major institutions like the World Bank, the Nicaraguan Central Bank, Kuwait’s Central Bank, two of Slovenia’s biggest banks and more.

t appears this trend began some time early this month, perhaps with the resign of Amitabh Chaturvedi, the CEO of Dhanlaxmi Bank Ltd on February 6.

This was supposedly due to Chaturvedi having “serious differences with the board regarding the strategies of the bank. He had different views on several issues. It was coming,” an anonymous bank official told Mint.

Chaturvedi’s resignation was just the beginning. On February 10, Business Standard reported that A K Jagannathan, the managing director and chief executive of Tamilnad Mercantile Bank resigned, citing personal reasons.

Then, on February 13, the Washington Post reported via the official Kuwait News Agency that Sheik Salem Abdulaziz Al Sabah, a member of the Kuwaiti royal family, resigned after 25 years heading up the nation’s central bank.

While the brief announcement gave no immediate reason for the move, internal speculation surrounds his opposition to increased domestic spending, including wage increases.

Just the next day, the head of the Nicaraguan Central Bank, Bloomberg reported that Antenor Rosales quit, apparently over disagreements with Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, however an official statement claimed that the resignation was “normal government procedure” and not the result of a disagreement.

The following day brought reports of the CEOs of Slovenia’s two largest banks stepping down along with theplanned resignation of World Bank President Robert Zoellick, who will leave the bank on June 30.

Then the next day, February 16, the chief financial officer of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd (ANZ Bank) resigned after 15 years as the bank’s CFO. Also on that day, it was announced that Andrew Check would lead the Royal Bank of Scotland’s Australian arm after Stephen Williams resigns in the next three to six months.

On the February 17 the news broke of Blankfein’s possible future resignation along with Bloomberg reporting that Credit Suisse Group AG’s private bank in Signapore’s chief Asian economist, Joseph Tan, resigned.

On February 18 the British Daily Mail reported that Germany’s president, Christian Wulff, resigned over a scandal involving an attempt to gag a press investigation into political favors and possible bribes. While this obviously isn’t a bank executive, it is noteworthy nonetheless as it is still part of the trend of prominent individuals resigning, quitting and otherwise stepping down from their position of power.

The reasons behind this trend are unknown as of yet and indeed they could not be connected in any way, yet I think that is highly doubtful. I am not yet prepared to speculate as to why this is happening with such frequency right now, however I will say that I hope it is due to some serious changes being made in the financial system – hopefully for the good of us all.

It appears that all the rats are being cleaned out of the banks. One wonders if it is to escape angry citizens or because they are being ferried off to some underground bunker? Add to this list Germany’s President. .. Netanyahu’s Bureau chief – Natan Eschel ….. Las Vegas State Senator Elizabeth Halseth … and more.

That’s 9 resignations in eleven days, we have not included the other resignations from the likes of the head of the central bank in Switzerland a month ago, and the talk of the head of Goldman Sachs leaving. Why are the heads of very large financial instutitions resigning? Corporate governance experts would say that people resign to make room for new policies, and way of doing things, but this is a peculiar situation of contagion amongst those with key exposure.
The first to see the flame, usually leave the building, maybe this is not the case, nonetheless, such events with obvious patterns should be taken note of.

Corrupt Banking at the highest levels

I want to thank a good friend for an article she sent over that led me on this rabbit trail. Jill Thanks! It will boggle the minds of most of you but everyone should see it and make themselves read and understand it.

I am going to go over this piece that will leave one with a greater understanding of why so many CEO’s of banks or financial institutions are resigning. This is but one story of who knows how many that are or have gone on out there either in the past or currently. Most importantly we have to ask – where is all the money going?

This will not be a short piece but I assure you I will make it fun and very easy to understand. It is a true labyrinth in the creation of monetary instruments and shenanigans that the elite go through to make it and use it. While you may not think this is important or that you can do anything about it, understand that just us understanding what they are doing exposes the corruption and that alone will cause the end game. Soo with out further ado, I will start.

I would like you all to watch this 11 minute video. It is a man in parliment in London bringing the scheme to the attention of the chamber and asking for a delegation to be set up to look into it. It appears that 15 Trillion is in a void of non compliance and England or two of its banks are on the hook for it. He is genuinly concerned – He is the whistleblower if you will. Here is the piece but please watch the chamber fill until it starts (about two minutes) and then fast forward the thing to 17:20 where Lord Blackheath speaks and notice the attendance then and listen then for the next 11 minutes. This is important but I will talk about attendance later. I am going to ask you to read the transcript of this after you watch it. If you have the ability of two screens, you can watch and read the transcript below at the same time.

Link: http://www.parliamentlive.tv/Main/Player.aspx?meetingId=10093&wfs=true&player=smooth

I would like you take the time to read the transcript now of that same speech verbatim. There is not trickery here but the more you digest the facts, the more it will come together. When you are done reading this, I will then go over it with my edits or notes and it will all come home.

the Oldest Profession - redux

Everyone knows that one of the big factors that drove the Internet's exponential explosion over the past 15 years was its less wholesome side. Those who cruise the Web's seedier alleys often are watching slaves at work. Unfree people engage in forced labour for the surfer's online pleasures. This is one not-so-secret, hideous fact on which the Web is built: slaves are never further away from us than a couple of mouse clicks. One Google search makes the global virtual world more decadent than ancient Rome. This is another great Millennial disconnect between the hype about our reality - and our actual reality. The Internet is supposedly the high tech bastion of the shiny, seamless, progressive, Singularity-ridden future. Even more ironically, the Web is home to hackers and Cyber freedom fighters who are fixated on the free sharing of information and oppose what they characterize as evil capitalist copyright enforcers.

But down in its basements and not-so-secluded corners, the Internet has been a medium built by the slavery. One glance at today's virtual reality is that not much has changed over 2,500 years: when they defined the oldest profession, the Greeks classed the lowest stratum of slaves as pornai.

Contemporary slavery is now predicted to outstrip illegal drug trafficking. This year, CNN is publishing articles to raise awareness that slavery is not a lost, purely historical phenomenon. In fact, seemingly abolished slavery never disappeared at all. It is integral to global manufacturing, especially performed by children, in the clothing industry, the production of chocolate, and many other foods and household goods, from women's underwear, to rugs, to designer running shoes. In addition, the myth that life was cheap in the past, but now - after decades of politicking and progressive legislation - we are more humane, is not true. When it comes to slavery, human life is cheaper than it was two hundred years ago. A human being can now be bought for under USD $100; in 1809, a slave cost the equivalent of $40,000 in today's US dollars. Life is cheap, and the Internet is free.
