"Fresh off of the 2008 Bilderberg Meeting, it looks as if New York Federal Reserve president Timothy Geithner is set to push a new agenda in the world of central banking that was likely decided upon at Bilderberg. Geithner yesterday, wrote an article in the Financial Times calling for a global regulatory banking framework. In addition, Geithner called for the Federal Reserve to have an instrumental role in this new framework. Geithner cites all of the problems that were actually created by the central bankers in the first place as the rationale for having greater centralized power. It is interesting...

NATIONAL MILITARY ESTABLISHMENT OFFICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION Washington 25, D. C. MEMORANDUM TO THE PRESS NO. M 26 - 49 IMMEDIATE RELEASE APRIL 27, 1949 RE 6700 Ext. 3201 The following report is a digest of preliminary studies made by the Air Material Command, Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, on "Flying Saucers." PROJECT "SAUCER" On Tuesday, June 24, 1947, a Boise, Idaho businessman named Kenneth Arnold looked from his private plane and spotted a chain of nine saucer-like objects playing tag with the jagged peaks of Washington's Mt. Ranier at what he described as a "fantastic speed." Arnold's report set off...

This Barack Obama condescending chin raise exists thanks to The Ave. magazine via The Republic blog.

There is a curse upon the White House. God speaks in the Bible about curses and blessings. Those who obey Him, putting Him first, are blessed. Those who disobey Him come under His curse. It is a matter of free will action. Being obedient is a conscious decision to do what God wants. Being disobedient is consciously deciding to go against God. We are accountable for our free will actions. The White House has a curse upon it. It is real. It is powerful. It will not go away until a particular act takes place. The curse came upon the...

According to Ron Paul Henchman and alleged erstwhile ghostwriter Lew Rockwell (broke link, Lew Rockwell not welcome on Free Republic), you can blame Dicky Flatt’s buddy, Phil Gramm: …I was involved in that campaign, when Reagan broke his moronic “11th Commandment� to speak ill of fellow Republican Ron Paul, and such figures as Karl Rove and Paul Weyrich conspired to wage a very nasty campaign against Ron. In true Republican dirty-tricks fashion, Ron’s campaign office was even burglarized and his mailing list and other documents stolen. The power-elite had annointed (sic) the Philster, and would brook no grassroots opposition. Ron,...

As one might have predicted, O-Beasts reacting to my previous post presumed that I consider Larry Sinclair credible, even though I had used such phrases as "nuttier than a Snickers bar" and "One would be hard-pressed to conceive of a less credible source of information." (The O-folk see only the reality they want to see. That's why and how they formed delusions of Messiah-hood around a crooked Chicago pol.) At any rate, I've found out a bit more about Paramjit Multani, the driver who allegedly hooked Sinclair up with Barack Obama. Although Sinclair said that he was divulging the name...

(full title) The GOP Mark On This Beast Gross Animal Abuse; PETA Notified; I Am Not A Republican!; And Am Having No July 4th Party… The email message begins with an insulting slander — a strange way to solicit a donation. It is from Sue Gazdo, Director, RNC Membership Services, Republican National Committee. She even ends it “Sincerely� which, I fear, she, alas, is. The insulting, slanderous greeting? The email begins with these words: “Dear Republican.� Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Say what?! But, I am not a Republican! I am a recovering Republican - meaning not that I am a Republican who’s “recovering�...

Remember the recent farce when the Guardian's George Monbiot made a spectacle of himself by pretending he was going to subject John Bolton to a citizen's arrest for being a "war criminal"? If the kooks at Democratic Underground have their way, we'll be subjected to more tasteless entertainment along the same lines. DUmmies are advised not to announce they're coming before pouncing on their quarry, and to refer to convictbushcheney.org for information as to when suitable victims might show up in their towns. There follows a long list of "war criminals," along with their alleged crimes, mostly having to do...

The unidentified flying object is NOT believed to be a plane as none have been reported missing in the area. Investigators are working on the theory the explosion happened five miles above the ground. A search of Phu Quoc island off southern Vietnam uncovered shards of grey “metal” up to four feet long. Unexplained explosion ... map showing island Soldiers combed the area for clues yesterday as airlines in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand insisted none of their aircraft were missing in the area. Villagers in the nearby Cambodian province of Kampot said on Tuesday that they had heard a...

My hobby is Secrets. I am fascinated by secrets — the bigger the secret, the better I like it. Over the years, I have spent many hours and lots of money digging through mildewed stacks of forgotten government documents in libraries, reading reams of self-published zines and newsletters and pamphlets by crazy, semi-literate po' buckra, and going from link to link on the Tubes trying to glean tidbits of verifiable (or at the very least entertaining) information from various websites, all in an effort to discover the hidden truths that I crave. To this end I spent several years doing...

“Intelligent Design” is of no scientific value in determining the origins of life in the universe. A designer would have to be supernatural (i.e. not subject to the laws of physics) or natural and subject to those laws. If the designer is natural in origin, then it would have to have been designed by another designer –again supernatural or natural. Ultimately come to an original designer that either evolved from a lower state of matter, or was created by a supernatural being. You will note that this is back to where we started. Science does not deal with supernatural phenomena...

Although the Stephenville, Texas, UFO sightings are getting a lot of attention now, it is only one of many, many such incidents reported by Americans and people around the world. Like the Stephenville case, other similar sightings have involved reliable witnesses such as pilots, peace officers, former military personnel and other "trained observers." Hundreds of such sightings have multiple witnesses of these kinds. In some cases, several aircraft crew members or several peace officers responding to reports observe the same thing. Incidents involving military personnel have also included multiple reliable witnesses. And of course, average people have also had these...

An unsubstantiated story alleging an illicit affair between Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) and a lobbyist has sparked a surge of support for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Conservative radio talk-show hosts who just a week ago were severely critical of McCain have, to a man, rallied to his defense. McCain’s campaign has also reported significant increase in cash donations. Given these positive results, the McCain campaign sees value in keeping the battle with the Times alive. Consequently, Senator McCain has attempted to goad the Times into further attacks by denigrating the paper’s staff as “a bunch of simpering pantywaists” and...

...now have Cynthia McKinney, running for the Green Party Presidential nomination. Marc Cooper is decidedly unimpressed: Here's some news you might use about Barack Obama. Did you know he was, in reality, a government plant, a sort of Manchurian Candidate activated by Big Brother to confuse black people? That’s the political gospel according to the recently self-proclaimed Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney as she launched her national campaign this week from Houston. When asked by someone in the small audience at Texas Southern University about Obama, McKinney responded: “Look at the Colin Powells, the Condoleezza Rices, the Ward Connerlys......

OK. From what I am gathering, Ron Paul loony toons are NOT going to vote for any Republican candidate if their lord Paul doesn't win. RP himself said he could not guarantee support for the GOP Nominee should he lose. Furthermore, I do not believe most of the core RP supporters are even Republicans to begin with. They constantly despise and disparage anyone but RP. With such an inability to support a party, how can they expect the party to support them should they win? I believe the core of the RP support is Libertarian, with a healthy does of...

(WASHINGTON, DC) Astronaut Scott Parazynski did more than perform emergency surgery on a torn solar panel on the International Space Station today. At the end of his spacewalk, almost as an afterthought, he reached out with a 90-foot robotic arm and boom extension, and deftly snagged a strand of twine dangling from a mysterious bundle of space debris. “Yee haw,” was all that earthbound controllers could hear Parazynsky say into his space helmet at that moment. However, Col. Douglas H. Wheelock, giving visual cues to Parazynsky during what officials have termed the most dangerous spacewalk in history, shouted something else:...

Cattle mutilations are back and Idaho is once again ground zero. Monteview rancher Kyle Stoddard reported the deaths of two bulls to Clark County Sheriff Craig King Oct. 16. And it wasn’t wolves that killed the $2,000 animals. The two bulls had apparently been tranquilized and their sex organs had been removed. Stoddard told the Idaho Falls Post Register he suspected some kind of ritual was behind the odd deaths. It’s been a few years since Idahoans reported the strange practice in their backyard. Cattle mutilations have been attributed to everything from satanic cults to aliens or the long-haired hippies...

No, this isn't (see video below) the new clip of Randy Crawford's song 'One Day I'll Fly Away'. Nor is it the new Super-, Spider- or He-Man. This is exclusive footage of an Al-Qaeda inspired terrorist getting directly hit by a Lebanese army mortar. But that isn't the end, it is basically the beginning. Immediately after the mortar hits the building, the militant is - literally - catapulted 40 meters into the air. Eventually he falls back to earth and disappears in the smoke of the explosion. This little clip, to me at least, shows the madness of war. I...

Ooparts ? What are Ooparts? That stands for Out of Place Artifacts. Things that show up where they shouldn't, a piece of gold chain found in a coal seam, what appears to be a sparkplug embedded in rock that is thousands of years old and what appears to be a bullet hole in the skull of a mastodon. These things are ooparts. A Gold Thread Workmen quarrying stone near the River Tweed below Rutherford, Scotland in 1844, found a piece of gold thread embedded in the rock of the quarry eight feet below ground level. A small piece of the...

In one of the labs captured during the war, claims Redfern, was evidence of ghastly Japanese experiments using human guinea pigs, especially the handicapped, in what was known as Unit 731. Among the handicapped were those suffering from conditions such as progeria, or premature aging, in which a person appears far older than he is, has little or no hair, a large head, and bulging eyes -- like the "aliens" spotted on the desert. The handicap is far more prevalent in Japan (where cousins marry) than the West, occurring in one of 800 births in the 1940s and unfortunately, says...

Yet another busy news week. As I write this, Fox News is breaking (ahead of CNN, ABC and USA Today) the news that Bobby Cutts has been taken into custody for the murder of Jessie Davis. The man who lost his family in a violent Illinois shooting has been charged with their murder. A pair of naked twenty-somethings plummeted to their deaths from a roof top. The US and North Korea are again engaged in talks regarding North Korea's nuclear program. Iran still has a president who fancies himself the Bringer of the Apocalypse and Syria is still his willing...

Ok, so imagine you live in Portugal and your moving your house. You find a lovely farm house set in a decent plot of land. The place has been empty for 15 years! Whilst exploring your new property you find a large barn in the trees. The door is padlocked shut and its all rusted solid. So you grind the padlock open.........

Welcome to the site! Several days ago in an uncharacteristic burst of productivity, The Beast crafted a mildy amusing satire (Below) poking fun at Conspiracy freaks, the MSM Fauxtographers, and French Genius Jerry Lewis. One need only look at the header, "Bush Lied, International Polar Moon Camp Already There!", to realize that this is not a serious work of journalism. It's FAKE. It's a JOKE! The column ran through its typical one-hundred-reads-over-twenty-four-hours cycle uneventfully, and then something odd happened; yesterday it got another hundred reads. Well, so what? Two hundred reads on an internet of billions barely qualifies as any...

Hoax as it appears on the internet: Many will recall that on July 8, 1947, witnesses claim that an unidentified object with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico. This is a well-known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and the federal government. However, you may NOT know that in the month of March 1948, exactly nine months after that historic day, Albert Arnold Gore, Jr., Hillary Rodham, John F. Kerry, William Jefferson Clinton, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, Charles E. Schumer, and...

THERE HAS been a stunning development in the half-century-old mystery of what happened to a Truax Air Force Base F-89 Scorpion jet airplane that disappeared over Lake Superior on Nov. 23, 1953. The plane and its Madison-based crew - pilot Felix Moncla and radar observer Robert Wilson - were never found. The F-89 had been dispatched to track a large unidentified flying object that radar had spotted near the U.S.-Canadian border, and the plane's disappearance has been fodder for extraterrestrial theorists ever since. It now appears the missing plane has been located. Earlier this month, divers and engineers from the...

Dear Fellow Stunned Observers, Mapping failure in our industry is easy. Aircraft fail due to technical reasons or market reasons or both. Technical failures include the A-12 and the Comet 1 jetliner. Market failures include the 717, F-20, and Concorde. Finding combinations of both types of failure is rare. Most of these get quashed before they leave the drawing board—like Sonic Cruiser. You need to search history for aircraft that represented both types of failure, like the Spruce Goose. I’ve always thought the A380 would be a market failure. But we might be witnessing an unusual dual market and technical...

Indie film director John Roecker tells TMZ he was walking to his car with a female friend in LA's trendy Los Feliz neighborhood last Sunday when he was approached by a shirtless man and a tall blonde. "Hey, man, you're making fun of my religion," said the stranger angrily. Roecker quickly recognized the couple as actor Bodhi Elfman and his wife, 'Dharma and Greg' star Jenna Elfman. Mr. Elfman's ire was apparently drawn by Roecker's self-made t-shirt, which had a picture of Tom Cruise on the front under the caption "Scientology is Gay!" and a 'Stayin'-Alive'-era John Travolta on the...

As I do everyday, I checked the headlines of BWTF.com to find the most recent news conscerning one of my favorite childhood franchises - Transformers. I was elated to find a link to the new website going up for the live-action movie coming up in 2007. As dramatic music played on the web page, the flash animation had the Earth zoom into view and behind it a large robotic eye staring back at me. Excitedly, I awaited one of the typical Transformers tag lines (expecting either, “More than meets the eye,” or “Robots in disguise”). Then the slogan for what...

OTTAWA - The meetings of a secretive global think-tank would bring 100 of the world's most powerful and influential figures to Ottawa next month and make an Ottawa hotel the host of deliberations on such weighty issues as the direction of global oil markets and potential military action against Iran. Reports circulating on the Internet say this year's Bilderberg Conference will be held June 8-11 at the Brookstreet Hotel a rumour the hotel would not confirm. But, if a gathering in Ottawa is anything like past Bilderbergs, invitees will be drawn from the pages of International Who's Who, with a...

By NewsWiresMichNews.comFeb 13, 2006     Former Vice President Al Gore is being accused of inciting violence against the US by making comments such as the US government had committed ‘terrible abuses’ against Arabs living in America after 9/11 attacks, and that most Americans did not support such treatment. Mr. Gore, who lost the 2004 election to the current US president, did not cite one example of this abuse. Mr. Gore also said that President Bush's administration "was playing into Al Qaeda’s hands by routinely blocking Saudi applications for US visas." He made these comments in Saudi Arabia, a...

Boo! Britain gets first ghost school LONDON: One of Britain's most haunted houses will become the country's first ghost school, aimed at giving the public a chance to decide whether things really do go bump in the night. Muncaster Castle, an 800-year-old country pile in the scenic Lake District of northwest England, has been chosen for the two-day residential course because of its spine-chilling reputation for spooks and spectres. Jason Braithwaite, a cognitive psychologist and neuroscientist from the University of Birmingham, grew up within 15 kilometres of the castle and will run the course in March. A self-confessed sceptic about...

See those red fingers on the left of the radar? Now whose might those be? A seeming grid-pattern of five heat signatures appear out of nothing to the west of Hurricane Rita, intensify and hold their positions, and then fade to nothing. Their appearance coincided with the storm's unexpected turn away from Houston to track north before making landfall.

September 24, 2005 Washington DC Hello from enemy territory! I’m in Washington DC with Peace Mother Sheehan (PMS) where earlier this week we protested at the White House. We marched down Pennsylvania Ave. singing songs of peace, some of us baring our breasts and genitals for peace, others doing bong hits for peace, and quite a few talking on cell phones for peace. Cindy had this great idea to write a letter to President Hayseed demanding the withdrawal of all American troops from all countries, disbanding the military, and prison sentences and sensitivity training for any Christian or Jew who...

Deep Impact ... Deepening Contradictions Well, it's been over a full week now -- more than seven days -- since NASA's Deep Impact Spacecraft slammed into Comet Tempel 1-- And apparently kicked up a major firestorm ... on Earth. "Something's" definitely been happening, since the highly-publicized culmination of "Deep Impact" the other night, but NOT in public. Something that's potentially far more revealing than "just another successful NASA mission": A behind-the-scenes-eruption -- currently taking place in Washington and in Pasadena -- over precisely what Deep Impact actually ran into the other night .... How do we know that such "an...

An Amusing E-mail A guy who was offering to build a loft for my apartment blamed the high price of wood on Bush, which I'm sure Bush is responsible for considering America's rebuilding Iraq, for which the Iraquis may or may not be grateful. Here's my response, unedited:

1. Ask them why they’re waiting in line to see "The Interpreter." 2. Form a rebel alliance by bringing your own clipboard and starting your own line. 3. Put up a tent and tell them you’re camping out for the early morning opening of Starbucks. 4. Ask the city to remove the weird "homeless" people hanging out in front of the Uptown. 5. Get in line and wonder aloud why everyone camping out for a Harry Potter movie looks so old.

Picking apart film releases for political overtones has become an American cottage industry, with media types tripping over their grandmothers, to be first to attack the latest release on cable talk shows. Two more important elements have emerged, however, that overshadow film content analysis: --- How "Star Wars" reveals, in its critical reactions, the new media's pecking order. --- Secondly, the need to look at whether conservatives should really be picking films apart frame-by-frame, looking for bias.

Scientists discover "hard evidence" of own existence This AP/NASA photo shows what scientists believe to be a parachute, and its corresponding Mars Polar Lander.
