Subject: [hq2600] From Cynthia McKinney: Updates on Life

I have been wanting to do an update on Fukushima and say to you all that quiet does not mean all is well: just like with Libya. Quiet usually means it's getting worse and there's a mess to cleanup before the next report. It is so with both Fukushima and Libya (from the NATO perspective).

But, because I'm so busy reading other works for which I have a deadline, I have not had the opportunity to write the Fukushima piece. I know many of you are Mike Ruppert fans, and Mike begins his address at a fundraiser for KBOO independent radio in Portland, Oregon with a discussion about Fukushima. So, in lieu of my writing, here is Mike Ruppert speaking on 9/11/11: http://www.collapsenet.com/

On Saturday, October 8, I will be in Benton Harbor, Michigan, with Reverend Pinkney and BANCO, still fighting the land grab there and every attack imaginable on the right of the Black people there to live on Lake Michigan's last "undeveloped" tracts of land. If you're near, please support the work of the people of Benton Harbor, just to live in dignity. If you're not near, please support BANCO in another way. The valiant Reverend Pinkney can be reached at banco9342@sbcglobal.net.

Youtube is sporting an October 4, 2011 video of a man in St. Louis who was denied entry into his Bank of America branch because he wanted to withdraw his own money from the Bank. He was greeted by SWAT police! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db_P0wHsSz0&feature=player_embedded.

I support all of the occupy movements. This is what we think we've been waiting for. But, we must not be tricked, bamboozeld, or fooled as innocent people were with the Libya lies. Therefore, the occupy teams must learn the lessons of the Tea Party so as to prevent being coopted. This piece from Wayne Madsen warns of the dangers and needs to be posted everywhere because it is a warning:

October 4-5, 2011 -- Soros is attempting to take over "Occupy America" movement

Wall Street and London hedge fund tycoon George Soros sent a signal to his minions and infiltrators when he stated that he sympathized with the Occupy Wall Street movement. Soros's statement dovetailed with David Plouffe, President Obama's Senior Adviser, making contact with certain newly-minted "leaders" of the "Occupy" movement across the United States to ensure that they are as politically-manipulated by the White House as a vast majority of "Tea Party" members have been manipulated by senior Republican Party officials and the billionaire Koch Brothers.

Essentially, Soros and the Koch Brothers have ensured that the anti-corporate state movement in the United States, represented by the Democratic and Republican parties, remains split between artificially-created "left" and "right" camps and fractures into even smaller competing blocs within the two major camps.

The "divide and conquer" strategy is frustrating real attempts to mobilize the American people against Wall Street and lobbyist-occupied Washington.

Plouffe and his operatives want to ensure that the "Occupy" street protests generically call for "jobs," "public education," "Social Security," "health care," and the "environment," as long as they do not take on an anti-Obama tone. Essentially, protesters can call for "jobs," and the Soros-funded manipulators will claim on the slight-expanding main stream media coverage of the "Occupy" protests that the protesters want the Congress to approve Obama's jobs bill. When the protesters call for "health care for all," the Soros opinion manipulators will tell the main stream media that the protesters are against any repeal of "Obamacare."

This campaign to infiltrate the "Occupy" movement has all the fingerprints of Cass Sunstein, the head of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. Sunstein has pioneered in the use of social networking and media technologies to engage in "cognitive infiltration" of anti-government movements. Now that the White House and Soros are engaged in joint damage control, Sunstein's policies are being applied throughout the main stream and social media. One meme that has been spread is that the protesters lack "goals" and a "single voice."

Gawker.com is reporting that now entering the scene is the top-shelf Manhattan public relations firm Workhouse Publicity, whose clients include Saks Fifth Avenue and Mercedes-Benz, hardly firms that would sympathize with unemployed protesters, which has pro bono started to send out press releases to the corporate media on behalf of the "Occupy" movement.

At the progressive Democratic "Take Back the American Dream" conference in Washington, the "Occupy" movement was being hailed by many of the same groups that are funded, some to almost 100 percent, by Soros and his affiliated tax-free contrivances, including the Open Society Institute/Foundation and Tides Foundation. WMR learned that Plouffe was in contact with many of the organizations involved in the progressive conference to ensure that anti-Obama rhetoric was tamped down. The move succeeded with anti-Obama feelings only being discussed by union and other activist rank-and-file attendees and not by any of the speakers who represented such Soros-supported conference sponsors as Center for American Progress, Media Matters,MoveOn.org, and Netroots Nation.

Soros, working with the Obama White House, has called into service veterans of popular movement catalytic and infiltration movements, including "themed revolution" and social media uprisings, in Egypt, Tunisia, Syria, Libya, Iran, Ukraine, Serbia, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia, Lebanon and other countries. The "Arab Spring" backfired on Soros and his allies because the infiltrators could not guarantee the majority of the protesters would be pro-West, pro-capitalist, and ambivalent on Israel.

The major marching orders for these infiltrators is to take over the "leadership vacuum" of the "Occupy" movement and steer it into voicing support for Obama's pro-Wall Street policies without the protesters, themselves, unaware that they are supporting the status quo. The strategy is to ensure that no new and unrecognized leaders appear from within the movement, whether from union or political rank-and-file ranks. Leaders who are not already known quantities and who might resist control by political and financial interests will be eclipsed by those who have been on the Soros payroll for years.

The only way for the Occupy movement to ensure its independence is to begin fashioning protest signs that read: "SOROS IS WALL STREET!"and "OBAMA - OWNED AND OPERATED BY WALL STREET!"

I have made contact with the author of the definitive book on Operation Gladio (more on him and his book later) and he tells me that BBC's Timewatch documentary is very, very good. Please take the time this weekend and watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fB6nViwJcM. I will be talking about this more, particularly in light of certain revelations coming from Iraq, PakistaWen, and Libya.

Another video that I find to be very good (so far, I haven't seen it all) is The Secret History of the Global Financial Collapse. I'm watching to see how much of the truth the authors tell. It can be seen here: http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/meltdown/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TopDocumentaryFilms+%28Top+Documentary+Films+-+Watch+Free+Documentaries+Online%29

Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya has broken some very important stories on Libya in the last two weeks. Did anyone see them reproduced on Alternet, Common Dreams, Counterpunch, Huffington Post, Democracy Now!, and the like that fill my inbox with information? If not, there is a reason for that. It is certainly not because what Mahdi has to say is not newsworthy! He has documents to support all of the information he is sharing with us. We have two more installments before the release of blockbuster, irrefutable information that the war against Libya is a fraud. Clearly, to ignore this information is to support the war against Libya--Africa--and continues the illusion that President Obama only inherited bad wars.

Once one is confronted with the genocidal truth of Obama's policies in Africa, the question must be asked, "What are we prepared to do about it?" If people are denied the important information, they will never ask themselves this all-important question. Stay tuned for the third, fourth, and final blockbuster revelations of the upcoming installments of information coming from Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya and company.
