Hurricane Ike strengthens to Category 4 storm

MIAMI (AP) – Forecasters say Hurricane Ike has strengthened to a dangerous Category 4 storm in the Atlantic with maximum sustained winds near 135 mph.

Earlier Wednesday, Ike became a Category 3 storm and the third major hurricane of the Atlantic season.

Ike’s center was located about 620 miles northwest of the Leeward Islands and was moving west-northwest at about 17 mph.

Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami say the storm is expected to continue on its current track Thursday before turning more to the west.

The storm is following behind Tropical Storm Hanna, which could threaten the southeastern coast of the U.S. by the weekend. Tropical Storm Josephine is following behind Ike.

WHY is Palin wearing THAT???

I am watching this train wreck right now…

My question is, why is Ms. Palin wearing an ISRAELI FLAG pin? I thought this convention was supposed to be about AMERICA??? Since when was Israel the USA??

That takes A LOT of nerve, especially after they attacked Obama for not wearing an American flag pin. Amazing.

I guess we know who runs things, eh??

Ike strengthens into major Category 3 hurricane

*Wow, cat 3 out of nowhere.*

MIAMI (Reuters) – Hurricane Ike strengthened rapidly into a dangerous Category 3 storm in the Atlantic Ocean with 115 mile per hour (185 km per hour) winds on Wednesday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

The storm was moving west-northwest on a path that would take it north of the Leeward Islands on Friday but it was too early to tell whether it would threaten the United States or the oilfields in the Gulf of Mexico.

Palin says Iraq war is ‘task from God’

*Something tells me that god doesn’t give a flying f**k about pipelines. Why don’t these idiots pray for something more worthwhile??*

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3 (UPI) — Likely Republican U.S. vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin told her church congregation that the Iraq war was part of God’s plan, a videotape revealed.

A 14-minute video of a speech the Alaska governor delivered in June to the Wasilla, Alaska, Assembly of God Church and posted Tuesday on the Huffington Post Web site showed her saying the United States’ involvement in Iraq is “a task that is from God.”

She is seen saying: “Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending (troops) out on a task that is from God. That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God’s plan.”

In the speech, she tells the congregation that building a long-sought, 1,715-mile natural gas pipeline from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Alberta, Canada, is also part of God’s plan.

“I think God’s will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that,” she said.

Biden: Israel will be more protected with Obama

*Why the hell is this even an issue? WHY PROTECT I$RAEL?? Just when you think it cannot get any more ridiculous, it does. At least they are revealing what they are, eh?*

WASHINGTON – Senator Joe Biden, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, appeared Tuesday evening before Jewish voters in south Florida and declared that Israel’s security would be improved if Barack Obama is elected US president.
He further stated that there is no doubt that Obama supports Israel, despite rumors spread by his rivals.

Major ice-shelf loss for Canada

The ice shelves in Canada’s High Arctic have lost a colossal area this year, scientists report.

The floating tongues of ice attached to Ellesmere Island, which have lasted for thousands of years, have seen almost a quarter of their cover break away.

One of them, the 50 sq km (20 sq miles) Markham shelf, has completely broken off to become floating sea-ice.

Researchers say warm air temperatures and reduced sea-ice conditions in the region have assisted the break-up.

“These substantial calving events underscore the rapidity of changes taking place in the Arctic,” said Trent University’s Dr Derek Mueller.

“These changes are irreversible under the present climate.”

Scientists reported in July that substantial slabs of ice had calved from Ward Hunt Ice Shelf, the largest of the Ellesmere shelves.

Similar changes have been seen in the other four shelves.

As well as the complete breakaway of the Markham, the Serson shelf lost two sections totalling an estimated 122 sq km (47 sq miles), and the break-up of the Ward Hunt has continued.

Cold remnants

The shelves themselves are merely remnants of a much larger feature that was once bounded to Ellesmere Island and covered almost 10,000 sq km (3,500 sq miles).

Over the past 100 years, this expanse of ice has retreated by 90%, and at the start of this summer season covered just under 1,000 sq km (400 sq miles).

Much of the area was lost during a warm period in the 1930s and 1940s.

Temperatures in the Arctic are now even higher than they were then, and a period of renewed ice shelf break-up has ensued since 2002.

Unlike much of the floating sea-ice which comes and goes, the shelves contain ice that is up to 4,500 years old.

A rapid sea-ice retreat is being experienced across the Arctic again this year, affecting both the ice attached to the coast and floating in the open ocean.

The floating sea-ice, which would normally keep the shelves hemmed in, has shrunk to just under five million sq km, the second lowest extent recorded since the era of satellite measurement began about 30 years ago.

“Reduced sea-ice conditions and unusually high air temperatures have facilitated the ice shelf losses this summer,” said Dr Luke Copland from the University of Ottawa.

“And extensive new cracks across remaining parts of the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf mean that it will continue to disintegrate in the coming years.”

Loss of ice in the Arctic, and in particular the extensive sea-ice, has global implications. The “white parasol” at the top of the planet reflects energy from the Sun straight back out into space, helping to cool the Earth.

Further loss of Arctic ice will see radiation absorbed by darker seawater and snow-free land, potentially warming the Earth’s climate at an even faster rate than current observational data indicates.

UK-HPV Gardasil Circus Of Death Rolled Out

The British State Media Whore Big Pharma Nexus
By Philip Jones
9-3-8
On the front page of MSN UK this morning is the below article. Please note the happy faces of the three pretty young girls. I’ll wager my house that following the three shot Gardasil vaccine programme being advocated to inoculate against this `killer` virus, they won’t be smiling so heartily. This MSN article is typical of the mainstream media’s whorish slavery to the State/Pharma Nexus. There is barely a word of truth contained in it’s shoddy and poorly researched text, and yet the same rubbish or similar will be reproduced indiscriminately throughout the UK media, and believed without question by the vast majority who read it. Together with what can only be called a `Mass Marketing Campaign` for Gardasil and Merck, the Corporate Beast which produces it, it is difficult to see how one can even make a `dent` in the number of innocent young girls, whose lives will be forever affected by their parents decision to accept the Governments propaganda, and allow their daughters to receive the course of `jabs`.

The nature of HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) and Gardasil has been expertly covered on this site previously by Dr Tim O’Shea (HPV The First Cancer Vaccine 10-6-7) and should be read in conjunction with this article. What I want to try and illustrate here is the stranglehold that the modern Corporate State has on it’s people, and how completely `plugged in` to it’s `Matrix` those people are. So `plugged in` to the point where many parents in the UK for example have totally abdicated responsibility for their children. Handing them over `lock stock and barrel` to the State machine.

Before we proceed, this is what MSN has to say about HPV and the government programme associated with it:

pa.press.net – 03.09.2008 09:01
Cervical cancer jab roll-out starts
“The Government is set to officially roll out its campaign to vaccinate young girls against a virus that causes cervical cancer.
Social networking sites have already been targeted in a bid to encourage girls to have the jab which helps protect against human Papillomavirus (HPV).
HPV is a sexually-transmitted infection that causes most cases of cervical cancer.
Schools across the UK will start vaccinating pupils aged 12 and 13 (Year eight) from this week onwards, with about 300,000 girls receiving the jab in England alone.
By July 2011, more than two million girls will have been offered the vaccine, including those up to the age of 18 as part of a catch-up programme.
The Government’s campaign for England, which is launched later, includes online, press, TV and radio advertising.
A series of `road shows` will also be held in shopping centres across the country.
The Government’s main campaign will run this month and next, with some follow-up advertising in February to remind girls not to miss their third and final injection.
Girls aged 17 and 18, who form part of the catch-up programme, will be the target of a different advertising campaign in October.
The HPV vaccine protects against over 70% of the strains that cause cervical cancer, which accounts for around 1,000 deaths a year in the UK”.

What I will now do is debunk this piece of `hokum`, quoting real experts in the field who are in no doubt whatsoever about what the true purpose of this pernicious campaign is all about.

The Lie : HPV is a sexually transmitted disease that causes most cases of Cervical Cancer. The HPV vaccine protects against over 70% of the strains that cause Cervical Cancer.

There are over 100 strains of HPV, only 30 of which are theoretically linked to Cervical Cancer. HPV is present naturally in at least half the population without ever causing any disease whatsoever. HPV has never been proved as a pathogen for any disease. Merck, the marketers of HPV are making the ludicrous claim that the virus just happened along and attacked some healthy cells causing them to mutate and begin replicating out of control, and that is now happening on a mass scale, even though it has only recently been discovered, and that a vaccine can somehow neutralise that attack on normal cervix cells. We are in the realms here of `Junk Science`.

Merck the said Pharmaceutical Industry giant originally claimed that ” There was a strong connection between HPV and cervical cancer” . Somewhere along the way, that became “is the cause of” without any medical evidence to support this claim. This is clearly more about sales and marketing than science. The vaccine itself `Gardasil` has no competition in the field and consists of `virus like ` particles from four strains of HPV. With no clinical studies whatsoever, two of these `strains` are now being touted by Merck as being responsible for 70% of all cervical cancer cases, as so erroneously quoted in the above MSN text. The insert for Gardasil makes the unproven claim, ” HPV cause squamus cell, cervical cancer”.

The market demographic Merck chose was pre teen 12 year old girls. But wait a minute, the average age of women who contract cervical cancer is 50 years, so why target 12 year olds. And even Merck themselves openly state that the efficacy of the vaccine is only 5 years, making it worthless by the time the subject needs the immunity, I.e. around her fiftieth birthday. Any claimed protection will have worn off long ago.. An established risk factor with cervical cancer is the number of sexual partners a woman has had. So who do you imagine will have had more, a 12 year old or a 50 year old. There is something seriously amiss with anyone who selects the former. So why are they so intent of giving it to 12 year olds, rather than what would be the correct target age if the vaccine did have any protective vale, namely women in their forties? Merck say it’s because the vaccine hasn’t been `safety proved` for women above 26 years of age. So as Dr O’Shea sardonically puts it `better give it to young girls then`.

The number of vicious and painful side affects to this vaccine programme are little short of frightening, and include fever, nausea, pharyngitus, dizziness, gastroenteritis, appendicitis, bronco spasm and many more. In other words, real side effects in exchange for unproven immunity (Please see the Google Videos on the link provided below).
There is even a strong probability that this under tested and unproven drug might be carcogenic in it’s own right. We are dealing here with a vaccine which claims to prevent cancer by imitating a pathogen which causes cancer. Merck say about this,
“Gardasil has not been evaluated for carcogenicity or impairment to fertility”.

The Reasons For The Lie :

It is in the above statement that I believe the true motives behind this programme lie. To cause sterility and or cancer in young females thereby enabling a massive advance in the Illuminati’s depopulation agenda. It can be the only logical reason as to why governments in the service of the `hidden masters` would either encourage, coerce or mandate such an unsubstantiated vaccination regime and apply it to 12 year old girls when the risk group are women in their fifties, who for the most part are well past the age of conception. Furthermore, the Pharmaceuticals will once again make a fortune off the back of human suffering.

What is so worrying is that with all the mainstream avenues of information secured, and with the huge financial recourses of `Big Pharma` to drive it along, and the seemingly limitless ability of the mass of the population to just comply, comply, comply, it is difficult to how this exercise in evil can be thwarted.

“The Matrix is a system, and that system is our enemy. When you are inside it, you look around and what do you see? Businessmen, Teachers, Lawyers, Carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are part of that system and that makes them our enemies. You have to understand that most of these people are not ready to be `unplugged`. And many are so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to defend it”.
