Legislator feuds with TSA over scanners
[Refuse TSA body scans, state legislator urges in ads (print-edition title)]
NEW DEVICES: Agency says Tuck’s claims are inaccurate.
Alaska state Rep. Chris Tuck is running TV ads telling people they can skip the new body scanners at Alaska airports and should call airport police if the Transportation Security Administration gets too frisky with the resulting pat-downs.
But Tuck is wrong in making the claim that “inappropriate images are taken and stored” with the security scanners, according to the TSA.
[…]
“All we’re doing is creating security theater, giving Americans the belief that they are safer. But the real question is, ‘Are we safer?’ ” he said.
Anchorage travel analyst and TSA critic Scott McMurren applauded Tuck’s effort. McMurren said he believes TSA does store the images.
“They have to store them; how else would they go back and see them if there is an issue?” he said.
But McMurren said that the bigger point is that the body scanners are “invasive, degrading, ineffective and expensive.”
I didn’t know anything about SOPA until a few minutes ago, but apparently this could be a big deal — and the corporations who are largely responsible for starting this mess did this to gain control of the internet?
Sounds like a control issue mixed with the love of money and globalist overtones — maybe globalist maintones.

Dr. Stan is one of my heroes. I consider him ‘a national treasure!’ And I am blessed to have been able to discuss spirituality with him in his living room:
“The true objective of what’s going on today is the establishment of a one-world government, a new-world-economic order, and a new-world spirituality.
And behind everything that is transpiring today are dark and sinister, spiritual forces. Indeed, we are engaged in a spiritual battle.
If you read Ephesians 6:12, you’ll find this reference:
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Ladies and gentlemen, the forces that control the Council of Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, and the Bilderbergers, and the Masonic movement, and the Skull and Bones society, and the Federal Reserve board and the central banks of the world are joined together in a continuity of evil.”
– Dr. Stanley Monteith

[1 of 6] The Best Enemies Money Can Buy – Dr. Antony Sutton
A classic interview by Professor Antony Sutton, who taught economics at California State University, and was a research fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution.
In this talk, Prof. Sutton goes into his impeccable research on how a close-knit group of Western financiers and industrialists (centered around Morgan and Rockefeller in the US, and around Milner and the City financiers, in the UK) created and sustained their three supposed enemies right from the very beginning: Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, and FDR’s Fabian socialism.
Particularly, he goes into how Wall Street/City of London financiers used their banking institutions and their industrial enterprises to:
1) Help finance and sustain the Bolshevik Revolution. Build up Soviet industry during Lenin’s Five-Year Plans, both through finance, technology/industrial transfers and technical assistance. Continue to build the Soviets throughout the entire Cold War, through the same kinds of deals. This included the Korea and the Vietnam eras, during which American troops were being killed by… Western-made Soviet equipment.
2) Build up Nazi Germany, both financially and industrially;
3) Get FDR into power in America as their man, and even draw up the New Deal policies, especially FDR’s National Recovery Act — designed by Gerard Swopes of General Electric and deeply welcomed by Wall Streeters Morgan, Warburg and Rockefeller.
Sutton was not a wild speculator. He was a distinguished academic researcher who documented his conclusions impeccably in his several works. Not being able to counter his research, the establishment (including academia) simply attempts to ignore it, and pretend it isn’t there.
The purpose for these Wall Street policies was very simple: to create, and globalize, what Sutton calls Corporate Socialism. A system under which everything in society is ruled by the state, and the state is, in its stead, controlled by financiers who, hence, get to rule and manage society, to their liking. In other words, to get society to work for the financiers, using a socialist state as an intermediary.
This is what we now know as the globalization economic model. As a result of all the clashes of the 20th century, most notably WWII and the Cold War (fought between powers that were manipulated and controlled by these banker cliques), the world has been ‘globalized’. Meaning that it has been entirely taken over by these financiers, and is ever closer to being completely ruled by them, through not only the national states and national central banking systems, but mainly through supranational agencies and institutions.
Go into Professor Sutton’s books, most notably the Hoover Institute’s series on Western technological/industrial transfers to the Soviets and the ‘Wall Street’ trilogy. If you have a difficulty in purchasing the original books, you’ll find most of them are easily available online, on pdf form.

CNN finally released the full interview. It shows that Ron Paul didn’t “storm off” – the interview was over.
All parts of the interview that make Gloria Borger look ridiculous and provocative were cut out of the heavily edited and misleading version that aired on CNN: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5LtbXG62es
As you can see CNN aired the final segment (starting at 6:00) first, trying to create the false impression that Ron Paul terminated the interview just minutes after it had started. In reality the interview had already lasted a full 8 minutes and was effectively over, with no further questions being asked.
Propagandist Borger ended the interview with an outrageous insinuation and lie: “Some of this stuff was very incendiary, you know… saying that in 1993 the Israelis were responsible for the bombing of the World Trade Center”.
The newsletters, politically incorrect as they might have been, NEVER made such a claim. That’s pure propaganda.
The corporate media will stop at nothing to discredit Ron Paul, but thanks to a growing understanding on part of the public of “how the system works”, the media’s efforts aren’t just not working, they are backfiring.
Ron Paul remains the undisputed frontrunner in Iowa (as documented by five consecutive polls by various organizations). Nationally, Ron Paul gained 5% on both Gingrich and Romney among Republican voters over the past 5 days during the worst phase of the media onslaught.
