Dave Hodges ~ Who Had Foreknowledge Of The Gulf Oil Spill?

Activist Post March 16 2013

Between March 22nd and 24th of 2010, the Department of Homeland Security and the US Coast Guard conducted drills that they called “Oil Spills of National Significance”. What an amazing stroke of luck that DHS and our Coast Guard was so well prepared in proximity to the April 20, 2010 BP oil spill event.

It kind of reminds one of the drill simulating 9/11 when we prepared for terrorists who might fly planes into tall buildings while effecting a communications blackout during the drill which prevented a shoot down of the four planes hijacked on 9/11.

This oil spill drill also reminds one of the London subway bombers drill scheduled for the same day as the alleged “terrorist event.”

This is a story about an amazing set of coincidences regarding good luck and great timing in relation to the BP oil spill.

There are individuals and corporations which greatly benefited because they coincidentally moved money in the few short weeks prior to the Gulf oil spill. Of course, these are only coincidences. How do we know that these are only coincidences? Because the mainstream media (MSM) told us that was the case.

Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs sold 44% of its BP Stock three weeks before the Oil Rig disaster. Of course this is only a coincidence, isn’t it, and anyone that prints anything to the contrary is just a conspiracy theorist, aren’t they? If this is your belief, then please answer this question. How did Goldman Sachs do such an effective job of keeping these money movements out of the media?

Actually, the fact that Goldman Sachs sold 44% did not escape the media outlet MSN Money. They ran this same story, with the exact same facts, in June of 2010. Click on the link to the story now, and this is what you get in yet another example of MSM cover ups with regard to a false flag event.

How Did Goldman Sachs Exercise Control of the Media?

Tony Isaacs ~ Think Before Going Pink: Many Breast Cancer Awareness Sponsors Profit From Cancer

Natural News | October 4 2012 | Thanks, Minty

As we find ourselves once again awash in a sea of pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM), few people who participate, donate or buy pink-themed products are aware that BCAM has always been a deliberate deception – a “pinkwash” which helps “do-gooder” sponsors hide their own culpability while promoting products which cause cancer.

In the beginning

Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) was launched in 1987 by Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), a British chemical company which has been a world leader in manufacturing cancer-causing pesticides, plastics and other products. From day one, ICI and later spin-off Zeneca have used BCAM to direct research and prevention efforts away from chemical carcinogens.

To this day, not a word can be found in any of the BCAM literature suggesting that decreasing exposure to chemical carcinogens or dietary changes can help play a role in cancer prevention.

Examples of BCAM sponsors who promote cancer causing products:

General Electric (GE)

GE, a major polluter of carcinogenic PCBs in a 200 mile stretch of the Hudson River, sells upwards of $100 million annually in mammography machines. BCAM emphasizes encouraging yearly mammograms. The trademark slogan is “Early Detection is Your Best Prevention.” Though it is too late to prevent cancer once it has been detected, 37 percent of American women believe that mammograms somehow prevent breast cancer.

Lucid Dreamer ~ Pray (Intend) The June 20 2012 Typhoon Away

Lucid Dreamer writes ~ I’m sure you heard about the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan. Multiple tsunamis hit and badly damaged 6 nuclear reactor buildings at the Fukushima reactor sights in Daiichi Japan in 2011.

Here is a small quote “The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster is a series of equipment failures, nuclear meltdowns, and releases of radioactive materials at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, following the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011. It is the largest nuclear disaster since the Chernobyl disaster of 1986.”

The plant comprises six separate boiling water reactors originally designed by General Electric (GE), and maintained by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). At the time of the quake, Reactor 4 had been de-fuelled while 5 and 6 were in cold shutdown for planned maintenance. The remaining reactors shut down automatically after the
earthquake, and emergency generators came online to control electronics and coolant systems. The tsunami broke the reactors’ connection to the power grid and also resulted in flooding of the rooms containing the emergency generators.

Consequently those generators ceased working and the pumps that circulate coolant water in the reactor ceased to work, causing the reactors to begin to overheat. The flooding and earthquake damage hindered external assistance.

In the hours and days that followed, reactors 1, 2 and 3 experienced full meltdown. As workers struggled to cool and shut down the reactors, several hydrogen explosions occurred. The government ordered that seawater be used to attempt to cool the reactors—this had the effect of ruining the reactors entirely. [12] As the water levels in the fuel rods pools dropped, they began to overheat. Fears of radioactivity releases led to a 20 km (12 mi)-radius evacuation around the plant. During the early days of the accident workers were temporarily evacuated at various times for radiation.

Since this damage has occurred, untold amounts of radiation have leaked from broken radiation rods found inside each reactor and has spread rapidly to the rest of the world. Unsafe levels of radiation have already been found in water and food samples on the western coast of the U.S. So much so that the government has raised the level of radiation considered to be harmful just to not cause alarm to world populace, which only made the
situation worse. The scary part is that the last reactor building (reactor 4), which contains enough radiated fuel rods to kill all life on the planet a couple of times over, is in a very bad shape. A 4.0 or greater earthquake could cause the building to collapse causing the fuel rods to, like I said, release enough radiation to kill the world a couple of times over.

But the situation is even more delicate than this. Right now, a super typhoon off the southern coast of Japan with 150 mph winds is apparently on a path straight to Daiichi Japan, where the 4th reactor is barely holding itself together. It is expected to reach the reactor’s area by the 20th of June 2012. 2 days. And that’s if you’re reading this on the 18th, when this was made.

Over Last 10 Years, General Electric’s Effective Tax Rate was 2.3 Percent

Travis Waldron | Nation Of Change | February 28 2012

The Obama administration unveiled its corporate tax reform plan last week, which would lower the top rate from 35 percent to 28 percent, billing it as an effort to help make the American corporate tax code more competitive. Republicans have long crowed for corporate tax reform, saying America’s high marginal rate stifles competition, but they have blocked efforts (including Obama’s) to close many of the loopholes and schemes corporations use to avoid paying taxes.

General Electric, one of the nation’s largest corporations, found itself at the center of the corporate tax debate last year when the New York Times discovered that it paid nothing in taxes, despite billions of dollars in profits. GE responded to the outcry by promising that its 2011 rate was “slated to return to more normal levels” because of the recovery of GE Capital, its financial arm. But according to an analysis from Citizens for Tax Justice, the company’s 2011 effective tax rate was just 11.3 percent. Even worse, over a 10-year period from 2002-2011, the company paid $1.9 billion in taxes on $81.2 billion in profits, giving it an effective tax rate of just 2.3 percent for the decade:

– From 2006 to 2011, GE’s net federal income taxes have been negative $2.7 billion, despite $39.2 billion in pretax U.S. profits over the six years.

– Over the past decade, GE’s effective federal income tax rate on its $81.2 billion in pretax U.S. profits has been at most 2.3 percent.

Confirmed: Fukushima Disaster Contaminated Ocean With 50 Million Times Normal Radiation, Leaks Still Ongoing

NaturalNews | December 13 2011

Things are suddenly heating up again with Fukushima. As we reported yesterday, the southern wall of Fukushima reactor #4 apparently collapsed over the past few days, calling into question the structural integrity of the remainder of the containment building.

The mainstream media has said absolutely nothing about this development, continuing its pattern of downplaying news involving Fukushima, radiation or the flawed structure of nuclear power plants. This is hardly surprising, given that many of the largest media outlets (such as NBC and MSNBC) are owned by corporations such as General Electric, the designer of many of the world’s nuclear power plants.

Photos of the failed structure have emerged on Enenews.com, where a report explains that a once-intact wall is now essentially “missing” and that further degradation of the structure could lead to mass evacuations in Japan. As this report is still not confirmed by other sources, we continue to take this with a sense of caution here at NaturalNews. We will continue to monitor the situation and report any relevant developments.

50 million times higher radiation levels

What has hit the mainstream media, however, is a report entitled Impacts of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plants on Marine Radioactivity, authored by Ken Buesseler, Michio Aoyama, and Masao Fukasawa.

This report, published in Environmental Science & Technology, reveals that levels of radioactive cesium reached 50 million times normal levels in the ocean water off the coast of the Fukushima Dai-ichi facility. Even more concerning, the abstract of this paper concludes, “…the concentrations through the end of July remain higher than expected implying continued releases from the reactors or other contaminated sources, such as groundwater or coastal sediments.”

This, of course, contradicts mainstream media reports which for the most part stated that the radiation was “contained” and was not leaking directly into the environment. Only the alternative press has covered the real story on Fukushima, which has now become the worst radiological accident in the history of human civilization.
