ELEMENTARY EPIDEMIC: 11 Uncovered Videos Show School Children Performing Praises to Obama

Big Hollywood has already posted a couple disturbing videos of young school children singing/speaking praises to President Obama, but when eleven more dropped in our email box it came as quite a shock. What seemed like an aberration now appears to be a troubling pattern.

Maybe “epidemic” is a better word.

Each one of the videos below is creepier than the last because the further down you go, the younger the children — brace yourself for kindergartners – except for the last and most disturbing video, which you have to see to believe.

CIA agents guilty of Italy kidnap

Story from BBC NEWS:

An Italian judge has convicted 23 Americans - all but one of them CIA agents - and two Italian secret agents for the 2003 kidnap of a Muslim cleric.

The agents were accused of abducting Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr, known as Abu Omar, from Milan and sending him to Egypt, where he was allegedly tortured.

The trial, which began in June 2007, is the first involving the CIA's so-called "extraordinary rendition" programme.

The Obama administration has expressed its disappointment at the convictions.

"We are disappointed by the verdicts," state department spokesman Ian Kelly said in Washington.

He declined to comment further pending a written opinion from the judge, but said an appeal was likely.

Three Americans and five Italians were acquitted by the court in Milan.

Symbolic ruling

The Americans were all tried in their absence as they have not been extradited from the US to Italy.

The CIA's Milan station chief at the time, Robert Lady, was given an eight-year term, while the other 22 Americans convicted - one of them a US air force colonel - were sentenced to five years in prison.

Lawyers for the 23 Americans said they would appeal against their convictions.

The two Italian agents, who were convicted as accomplices to kidnapping, were given three-year prison terms.

The court also ruled that those convicted must pay 1m euros ($1.5m) in damages to Abu Omar and 500,000 euros to his wife.

CIA spokesman George Little in Washington declined to comment on the convictions, telling the Associated Press news agency: "The CIA has not commented on any of the allegations surrounding Abu Omar."

Secrecy laws

Italian prosecutors said Abu Omar was taken as part of a series of extraordinary renditions carried out by the CIA - when terror suspects were moved between countries without any public legal process.

Judge Oscar Magi acquitted some of the highest-ranking defendants

They told the court he had been kidnapped in daylight on a Milan street in February 2003 and flown to Germany, and then Cairo, where he was held for years until being released without charge.

Judge Oscar Magi acquitted the CIA chief for Rome, Jeffrey Castelli, saying he was protected by state secrecy rules, as were the former head of Italy's military intelligence agency, Nicolo Pollari, and his deputy, Marco Mancini.

Mr Pollari, who resigned over the affair, told the court earlier this year that documents showing he had no involvement in the kidnapping were classified under secrecy laws.

Prosecutor Armando Spataro rejected the argument that legal provisions could shield those accused from prosecution, saying any agreement to carry out a kidnapping was "absolutely against Italian law".

He had sought a 13-year jail term for Mr Castelli and Mr Pollari and 12 years for Robert Lady.

Activist group Human Rights Watch welcomed the verdict, saying it sent "a strong signal of the crimes committed by the CIA in Europe".

Spokeswoman Joanne Mariner said: "For us, this first case puts the war on terror on trial."

Gabi's and Shannon's Story "Gardasil"

A life forever changed for the worse, unimportant to the general public, but a long and agonizing cry between sobs for those who stop and listen to their desperate clamor, such is the case of vaccine victims.

Vaccine makers spend millions on advertisement and "contributions" to politicians; it is not that the vaccines are so great, but the amount of money behind them is.

But what about those harmed by the vaccinations? Well, sadly, most don't have the money needed for bringing national TV attention to their pain; they may not even have the money to cover their new medical expenses. But if you are willing to look, they are out there for you to find, desperate to share their painful ordeal.

Very Sad: Cheerleader Gets A Flu Shot & Now She Can Only Walk Backwards!

We hear it more and more: Are vaccines safe? What are the chances of something bad happening and what are the benefits of getting them? The following video is so shocking that you will think twice when vaccinating yourself or your children. It clearly shows that dangerous neurotoxins are present in vaccines; although they may be more harmful to others or not affect you right away, when will you know that you have had one shot too many?

The following excerpt is from the user that posted this video to Youtube:

"Experts claim serious side effects of flu shots amount to about one in a million - well this is what that one in a million looks like. This has freaked me out enough to bypass flu shots in the future. But what do I know - to each their own. A 25 year old woman in Ashburn, Virginia has come down with a severe debilitating neurological disorder days after receiving a seasonal flu vaccination. "

Federal Reserve Accountability Act An Unacceptable Compromise

Washington D.C. October 20, 2009 -Today, Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Bob Corker (R-TN) introduced the Federal Reserve Accountability Act, an attempted compromise on the issue of transparency for America's secretive central bank. The bill would permit an audit of the Fed's actions in the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and similar high profile bailouts, but would not allow Congress to review the Fed's inflation of the money supply or the its agreements with foreign central banks.

Legislation that would bring a full audit of the Fed, Congressman Ron Paul's H.R. 1207 and its Senate companion S. 604, has gained strong grassroots support and built tremendous pressure on banking special interests.

Opponents of Fed Transparency argue that a full audit of the Federal Reserve would damage the central bank's "independence" and allow Congress to dictate monetary policy.

"Claims that transparency at the Federal Reserve would leave Congress in charge of monetary policy are simply bogus," said Jesse Benton, Senior Vice President of Campaign for Liberty. "There is absolutely no reason why The American People should not be able to review the minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee after a reasonable amount of time has passed."

"The Federal Reserve Accountability Act does not audit the monetary policy functions which have been responsible for our deteriorating dollar and so many of our current economic problems, and it is not an acceptable piece of legislation. Campaign for Liberty will continue to push for a full audit of the Fed."

The announcement of the new legislation comes after the number of cosponsors in the House of Representatives for H.R. 1207 recently climbed to 303, and S. 604 gained 30 senate cosponsors. Campaign for Liberty has been leading the grassroots effort on H.R .1207, getting it to its current point with 75% of Americans showing support for a thorough audit of the Federal Reserve.

This is clearly a political strategy to have people abandon HR 1207 and S604 which have gained so much popular support. Those ruining this country would have it no other way; they must prevent a full audit of the Federal Reserve at all costs. We must call every representative and senator urging them to oppose the Federal Reserve Accountability Act, and call it what it is, a distraction from truth, a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Contact your congressmen today and demand support for HR1207 and S604.

Sign the petitions supporting HR1207 and S604 and find your representative's contact information here. Help spread the word; we are so close to have it all come crashing down.

Business Card Designs by AartDept

Here is a recent job from Aart Dept located in Del Rio Tx. If you are following this blog you may already know that Aart Dept Printing and Design specializes in business card design and production. It offers some of the lowest prices and only the highest quality when printing professionally designed business cards to make your business stand out from the rest.

The following business card was designed for a Del Rio local business that rents out Port-a-potties. The logo was created first using Illustrator CS2. The artist wanted it to look "clean and fresh". The sphere and arrow are characteristic of businesses that have to do with recycling, waste disposal, clean energy, and such. The colors were chosen with cleanliness in mind. A light "minty" green seemed very appropriate and contrasts well with the orange.

Contact information was blurred out for privacy

Once the logo was done the business card was put together in photoshop cs2. A business card template was not used but sizes for business cards are pretty much the same everywhere. The finished printed card should measure 3.5 x 2 inches when trimmed. Therefore, a new document was created that measured 3.75 x 2.25 inches to allow 1/8" bleed on each side. Some companies require less bleed. The imprint area, or safe area, is normally 1/8" away from the product edge. The imprint area will measure 3.25 x 1.75 inches.

Next, the image of an old outhouse was used as the customer requested. The image was chosen because the outhouse is situated in a peaceful, green area and that seemed perfect for the overall look being sought. Photo was cropped and faded with a gradient on the outside edges. Afterward, the logo was placed. A dropshadow was added to the logo in order to make it stand out. The background was given lesser opacity to make the text more readable and the card less busy. Colors from the logo were used for the text.

The other side of the business card was created with the idea of stressing business identity since the company did not have a logo prior to this. It seemed adequate to bring greater attention to the logo as it is the one thing customers usually remember aside from the company name. For this reason the logo was enlarged and placed where it would be noticed. Inner glow, dropshadows and inner bevel effects were used in making it contrast with the flat, almost grayscale, image of the port-a-potty to the left. The port-a-potty image was then faded in the background to make the black text on top more legible.

The business cards were printed full color on both sides on 14pt gloss cover stock and UV coated for a sleek appearance and durability.

All this was provided for the low cost of $69.99. The price includes art services and shipping. Pretty good deal for the troubling economic times we are living don't you think? For your next printing project think Aart Dept Printing & Design and leave your email address as a comment to this post.

Russia to Broaden Nuclear Strike Options

The article headline out of Russia Today reads, "Russia to Broaden Nuclear Strike Options".

Russia is seeking to revise it's nuclear strike policy to allow for the use of nuclear attacks even in smaller conflicts as well as preemptively. The new proposed doctrine was announced during the visit of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to Moscow; oddly enough, nuclear non-proliferation was among the top issues of the agenda.

Although Clinton expressed that the US military doctrine does not allow for preemptive attacks using nuclear weapons, analysts claim that the US has demonstrated the opposite.

The article further states, "Russia’s revised military doctrine will be submitted to the president by the end of this year. If adopted, it will be a strong change from the military doctrine now in force."

Clearly, Russia is sending out a message in view of growing tensions around the world.

What is even more striking is that pastor Lindsey Williams may have been right when he spoke of a coming new Cold War with Russia back in 2008. Some time after his interview with Alex Jones the Georgian conflict with South Ossetia began, the original US missile shield plan was being worked out, Russian subs were patrolling off the US east coast and now this. You will find a link to an interview he did in one of our earlier posts.
