Anger is boiling over at Town Hall meetings across the country because of cuts in health care that are scheduled to be implemented once the plan is pushed through.

Today, William Kostric brought a very visible pistol, which was strapped to his leg, to a Town Hall meeting hosted by Obama. He also carried a sign which paraphrased Jefferson: "It's time to water the tree of liberty" (with the blood of tyrants). Update 8/21/09 - Oddly enough, this is also what Hal Turner stated when encouraging people to kill a number of judges recently - These judges deserve to be killed. Their blood will replenish the tree of liberty.

The Examiner.com says the following about Kostric:

Kostric, who moved from Scottsdale, AZ, to New Hampshire about a year ago, was protesting down the street from the school (where the town meeting was held), on a church lot and said he had permission from the church.

The Secret Service was on it but they couldn't arrest him for anything: New Hampshire state law allows citizens to openly carry a licensed handgun.

Kostric is reportedly listed online as a "team member" of the Arizona chapter of We the People (otherwise known as GiveMeLiberty.org), described as "the far-right group best known for joining a lawsuit challenging Obama's right to be president based on his not being a US citizen." Kostric says he moved to New Hampshire because it's a "live free or die" state --and he thought Arizona was becoming too restrictive with its gun laws.

A gay website, Lavender Liberal, goes over Kostric's MySpace page and a LinkedIn profile which lists a "William Kostrick" as an "Independent Gambling & Casinos Professional".

"His MySpace page is replete with paeans to militia groups and Randy Weaver", according to Robert Anglen, an investigative reporter...who has been nominated three times for the Pulitzer and writes for the Arizona Republic's "Watchblog".

Maybe I'm blind, but I'm finding it hard to locate these "paeans" or any "militia groups" on Kostric's MySpace. Maybe someone can look and tell us in the comments section.

On the Web site of Reason, the Libertarian magazine, someone posting under his name defends drug dealers who kill police officers who enter their homes to arrest them:

"If people can't wake up and see why it's immoral to trespass and destroy someones property, kidnap and lock them in a cage for growing a plant in their backyard then perhaps a body count is what's required for change.

"I personally feel zero sympathy for those cops. I reserve my sympathy for the victims of the nonsense they initiate."

Clicking on Kostric's name leads to another site, exmeasententia.com

Oddly, William Kostric cannot be found on major people search sites like PeopleFinders, USSearch or Whitepages dot com, even though other Kostrics can be located through these sites.

A Spokeo search on email address of We The People's head, Ed Vallejo, leads to a record of posts by Vallejo on another site, EndTheFed.us. A whois lookup shows EndTheFed as registered to a Steven Muro of Studio City, California, who goes my the moniker Steven Vincent.

Vincent is listed on this page of FreedomsPhoenix.com, where he lists RonPaulRadio.com as his site. Other posts by Vincent can be found here. His photo is on this page, where he describes himself as a "Buddhist practicioner" and yoga / meditation teacher and is involved with Peace Is Every Step LA.

A search starting with Kostric is turning up more than a few "patriot" websites, which are now known as "militia groups".

In other news, a swastika was painted on the sign for Georgia Congressman David Scott's office. Scott is black. He stated: "We have got to make sure that the symbol of the swastika does not win, that the racial hatred that's bubbling up does not win this debate," Scott said in a telephone interview. "That's what is bubbling up with all of this. There's so much hatred out there for President (Barack) Obama."

Scott said local police were notified along with the FBI, the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police, who have warned lawmakers about potential threats stemming from the increasingly emotional debate over health care reform.

In addition, Southern Poverty Law and the MSM are now spewing spin regarding a growing militia movement, this news item released conveniently a day after the Kostric affair.

And because only a nutjob militia member would dare assert themselves at a Town Meeting on health care, border enforcement, or the Fed, ObamaCare is now well on the way to becoming more than just a bad dream.

The Ezekiel Option: Health Care Should Be Withheld From Disabled, Elderly

(Right) Ezekiel Emanuel's even crazier brother, Rahm, snuggles up to Pelosi

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, was appointed health-policy adviser at the Office of Management and Budget.

In a New York Post article by Betsy McCaughey, he states that doctors take the Hippocratic Oath too seriously, that medical care should be reserved for the non-disabled, not given to those "who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens . . . An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia", and explicitly defends discrimination against older patients. Emanuel also criticizes Americans for being too "enamored with technology" and is determined to reduce access to it.

The article goes on to state: Nor have most people heard about the arm-twisting, Chicago-style tactics being used to force support. In a Nov. 16, 2008, Health Care Watch column, Emanuel explained how business should be done: "Every favor to a constituency should be linked to support for the health-care reform agenda. If the automakers want a bailout, then they and their suppliers have to agree to support and lobby for the administration's health-reform effort."

In the comments section:

As an AARP member, I received a call earlier this week encouraging me to contact my legislators and "encourage them" to support this legislation. It's clear to me that the leadership of the AARP is either demented, incompetent, or seriously in debt to this administration.

This article: Obama Healthcare Step One: Killing Off the Old, Then They Are Going After Quadriplegics mentions a NYT magazine article by Peter Singer, professor of "Bioethics", who argues for rationing care away from the elderly and disabled.

Congrats, Dr. Ezekiel and professor Singer. Mengele would have been proud.

NBC's Vaccine Propaganda Piece

Measles, at least when I went through it, was like mumps, a rite of passage in childhood.

Everybody got it, it was considered routine, you stayed home for a couple of days in bed while your parents tended to you. That was it. No big whoop. Staying in bed watching cartoons was preferable to going to school for most kids, in any case.

Law and Order, Special Victims Unit recently aired a new season episode titled "Selfish" (Season 10, Episode 19 - which can be seen on Hulu at this link http://www.hulu.com/watch/159195

It covers the case of a young mother (Ashlee) with a missing child (Sierra). Sierra is found dead.

The long and convoluted synopsis of this nighttime soap opera is here

My much shorter one is below:

It turns out Sierra died of measles because she was never vaccinated.

Several other people were found infected with measles. One is Dennis who turns out to be Amish. Of course, the Amish would be a vector for measles, because they don't get vaccinated. Dennis claims to hang out at the local park.

Another woman named Monica, who also frequents the park, has a child infected with measles. She says she doesn't trust pharmaceutical companies.

One detective says that Monica's choice endangers the kids that are too young to be immunized.

The detectives find out that Sierra's mother, Ashlee, wants to sue the city for $100 million because Sierra got sick in a city park. Detectives go to Monica's apartment and arrest her for the murder of Sierra.
At the trial, an expert named Warner says that measles stays active an hour after the person who had it leaves a room and it is transmittable from 200 feet away.

"England had a measles outbreak because people refused to get immunized", and "it is irresponsible for people not to immunize their kids", says Warner. She also states she believes Monica is responsible for Sierra's death.

The jury finds Monica not guilty. Sierra's grandmother screams at Monica, files a civil suit against her, and later throws a brick into Monica's house.

Another of Sierra's relatives, Ralph, is found dead in Monica's apartment. Monica tells the detectives that Ralph ran into her home, screamed "You killed two people!", then shot himself.

The end.

The forum on this episode at NBC.com, contains the following comments from viewers:

1) Tonight's show was all about taking away your rights, which is where this country is headed. Blaming that mothers lack of vaccinating her child for the death of the other child was a real leap.

2) She could have died from strep throat just as easily. My unvaxxed children are not going to give your kids anything! I am a medical student and I was amazed at the lies they were telling in this show. Unbelievable.

3) I can not believe this episode. I have been watching Law and Order every episode but will NEVER watch it again. I think the irresponsibility of NBC and the directors of SVU is asinine. Unless you are living with a child that has been adversely compromised by the MMR vaccine, you have no say over what I do with my children. I would never vaccinate my child if I had to do it again. NBC must have deep pockets that Big PHARMA is filling. To only provide one apparent pharmaceutical laced side of the vaccine controversy is just irresponsible, inconceivable, just plain dumb.

4) This last, pathetic, poorly-written pharma-terrorists' propaganda-ridden episode ('Selfish') aka 'Law & Order: SVU,' will be the last hour I waste on this series.

Another wonders, since the Special Victims Unit has to do with sexual crimes, "when did measles become a "sexually-based offense"?

Come on people! Why risk a murder trial? Just line up over here and roll up your sleeve. I promise this won't hurt.

The "Bear Jew" Game

A few weeks before his new WWII-era film "Inglorious Basterds" was set to hit screens in the U.S., Quentin Tarantino gave viewers the chance to swing a virtual baseball bat at the skulls of Nazi stormtroopers.

The keyboard catharsis puts the gamer in the shoes of Sgt. Donny Donowitz, sent as part of a group of eight Jewish-American G.I.s under the command of Lt. Aldo Raine (played by Brad Pitt) to launch a campaign of terror among the Third Reich by killing and scalping Nazi soldiers.

In the game, actor and filmmaker Eli Roth, who plays Donowitz in the film, lends his voice to the bat swinging protagonist, who curses and yells at his victims in a Boston accent as he swings at their foreheads.

Roth leaked the game, which he calls "The Bear Jew game" to a blog on his myspace page. In the blog, Roth said the gamer who posted the highest score would be invited to the film's premier.

What - there were only 8 Jewish GI's in the entire military? And come on, Quentin! The Nazi's were financed by Wall Street bankers.

And "Bear Jew"? What is that? Code for Bear Stearns?

Isn't it time you started chasing Mossad agents? Like this Mossad agent who helped defraud the London Stock Exchange of $600 million? Or these Mossad creeps who tried to steal the passport of a bed-ridden disabled man? Or better yet, those Mossad agents involved in 9-11?

More Fun Summer Reading - The Blackwater "John Doe" Affadavits

Part 1 covers team "Mamba" and shooting innocent civilians (with great glee, in all cases) and guns smuggled in bags of dog food.

Part 2 covers death threats against snitches, money laundering, members using "call signs" based on the Knights Templar; statements uttered to "lay Hajiis out on cardboard"; the unsuitability of the hired mercenaries and firing of mental health professionals who would not endorse them; using illegal explosive ammo made by the company Le Mas for maximum kill effect; knowingly hiring individuals involved in Kosovo sex trafficking; use of child and other prostitutes; a wife swapping ring; and illegal arms trading.

Blackwater was founded by a Navy Seal. Remember Kay Griggs' stories about the Navy Seals?

In other news:

Exploding bullets, serial murders, a plot to wipe out Muslims. What does it say about Blackwater today when the weirdest part isn't that Mary Kay Letournau is a sister of one of the mercenary corporation's top executives? (And that her south King County home is just a few miles from that of a former Blackwater guard accused of drunkenly gunning down a security officer outside the Iraqi vice-president's home?)

And what of all this? Is someone mad at Blackwater? Is this outfit being outed (after all these years of wreaking havoc and killing innocent civilians) because it is run by so-called "Christians"? Is this the end of Blackwater and the expansion of DynCorp?

After all, Blackwater's just-as-evil twin, DynCorp, "has been consistently winning government war-zone work from competitors like Blackwater USA and KBR that have had trouble in Iraq" and recently got a brand new gig in Afghanistan.

Tim Roemer: Meat Puppet to India

Above: Former 9-11 Commissioner Tim Roemer "slips up"
during an interview about the attack on the Pentagon.

Tim Roemer, former Indiana Congressman, 9-11 Commissioner, and original sponsor of the legislation to create the Department of Homeland Security was recently appointed by Obama as the newest US Ambassador to India.

A few years ago, I bought a video of a lecture given by Mark Phillips and Cathy O'Brien. They spoke of Cathy's experience as a victim of the government-sponsored MK Ultra mind-control program.

In the video, Phillips stated that, in his opinion, Tim Roemer is a mind-controlled operative.

Tim Roemer is the son-in-law of J.Bennett Johnston Jr., who served as a U.S. Senator from Louisiana from 1972 to 1997. Johnston is mentioned heavily in O'Brien's book Trance Formation of America as being involved with "occult serial killer" Edward Wayne Cox of Chatham, Louisiana and with mind control in general.

I did my own "due diligence" on many of the characters mentioned in that book when I worked at a "large internet retailer dealing in information products" and was able to access buyers' accounts. There is a reason that the architects of the Patriot Act want to get into to peoples' library records: you can tell a lot about someone by the books they read.

I'm still not quite sure what to make of Mark Phillips, but I tend to believe O'Brien's detailed account based on what I was able to dig up on my own.

Even if all the above sounds a bit far-fetched (and it will to more than a few people), Roemer's father-in-law has some interesting connections.

A book by a biologist working in New Guinea, "Throwim' Way Leg" mentions "one of the largest mining companies in the world", and "one of the world's most profitable gold mines", PT Freeport Indonesia which is "based in New Orleans" and has an operation in Irian Jaya.

There's a bit of scuttlebutt on these mining operations and human rights violations at this link.

PT Freeport Indonesia is an affiliate of Freeport-McMoRan Copper and Gold. J. Bennett Johnston is listed as Director of Freeport-McMoRan. Henry Kissinger has been the company's main lobbyist for dealings with Indonesia.

Getting back to Roemer and India, Israel already has its hooks into the great subcontinent with arms sales, as seen in these little vids on Israel-India connections, the first one coming from the Israeli arms firm Rafael:




I don't think it's too off the mark to say that the false-flag, Chabad-connected attack on Mumbai hotels and civilians was a step leading up to some sort of future attack on Pakistan, with Israel supplying the arms.

I'm sure the Zionists can rely on Roemer to do exactly what Rahm Emanuel and others tell him to. In fact, Roemer is already getting focused on that very sensitive hot spot between Muslims and Hindus in the region, namely Kashmir.

American Hiker Claimed to be Iranian (Updated) Hikers Started Journey Close to Midnight

Previous report at this link.

One of the three Americans in Iran custody over "illegal entry" had claimed to be an Iranian national before crossing into the country from Iraq.

A tea-house owner in Iraq's Ahmad Awa told Press TV that the Americans had stopped at his place for tea on the eve of Friday, July 31 - the that the three were arrested by Iranian security guards in Western city of Marivan.

"They arrived at 10:30 pm," the tea-house owner told Press TV, adding that “the men did not talk but the woman, speaking Syrian Arabic, asked for tea.“

"The woman was not wearing Hijab and was fair-skinned, she said that she spoke Egyptian Arabic as well," he said.

"I asked them to sit down, but the woman said they were in a hurry," added the owner. "She said she was from Mahabad and that they wanted to go to Iran. I showed them the way to Iran and they left.” The city of Mahabad, Iran is proximate to where the hikers were arrested.

(So they left to go "hiking" at 10:30 p.m. No wonder they got lost. No flashlights!)

Kurdestan province's deputy governor for political-security affairs, Iraj Hassanzadeh, had earlier announced that the three identified as Shane Bower, Sara Short and Joshua Steel, were traveling on Syrian and Iraqi visas.

In the video below at 4:12, Shon Meckfessel states that once the hikers got near the border area "they camped out that night and kept walking", in essence admitting that the hikers went through the border area late at night:





Witnesses say US Group hiked far from Kurdistan's tourist areas  8.8.2009 
By Khabat Nawzad in Ahmed Awa, Iraqi Kurdistan region

Locals question why Americans ventured alone to remote area near Iranian border. 

 

Ahmed Awa, Sulaimaniyah, Kurdistan region 'Iraq', — Three Americans believed to have been detained by Iran hiked a difficult trail to a remote border area that tourists and locals rarely visit, IWPR has been told.

Residents of Ahmed Awa, a resort village in Iraqi Kurdistan where the Americans were last seen, say the area where they are reported to have accidentally crossed over into Iran is an hours-long hike up a steep, uninhabited mountain frequented by smugglers.

Locals say few people from the area would climb the barren, rocky mountain without a guide for fear of getting lost. Off the narrow trails, landmines laid during the Iran-Iraq war remain a danger, they say.  

 

“The mountain isn’t good for tours and picnics,” said Mohammed Sabir, a resident of Ahmad Awa, which is about 100 kilometres east of the Iraqi Kurdish city of Sulaimaniyah. “There were [military] barracks on the mountain in the past. No tourists go up there."

"I am from this place and I still can’t get [to the border],” said Kaiwan Nuradin Ala, a 20-year-old owner of a car park that caters to tourists in Ahmed Awa. “I have no doubt that someone has shown them the way.”

The Americans, Shane Bauer, 27, Sarah Shourd, 30, and Joshua Fattal, 27, were arrested by Iranian border security for illegally crossing into Iranian territory on July 31, United States media reported.

They had apparently travelled to Iraqi Kurdistan for a short vacation from Damascus earlier in the week and arrived in Sulaimaniyah on July 29, according to a statement by Shon Meckfessel,www.ekurd.net who journeyed with the three to Iraqi Kurdistan but did not go to Ahmed Awa because he fell ill.

Meckfessel’s statement was published on the website of The Nation, a left-leaning American magazine. Bauer, a freelance journalist, had written a story from Baghdad for The Nation in June.

Meckfessel said the four decided to visit Ahmed Awa after asking people in Sulaimaniyah for “good places to explore the mountainous terrain”. According to the statement, he believed Ahmed Awa was “far from any sort of risk” and did not know the village was near the Iranian border.

Meckfessel said that he was in regular phone contact with his friends, reporting they went to Ahmed Awa on July 30 and camped on the mountain that night. The next day at 1.30 pm, Meckfessel, who was still in a hotel in Sulaimaniyah, said Bauer called to tell him they were being taken into custody and to call the US embassy.

Iraqi border guards found the Americans’ personal possessions including a book, notebook and a blanket a few hundred metres from the Iranian border, said brigadier-general Ahmad Gharib, chief of border guards in Sulaimaniyah.

Iranian state media reported last week the Americans were arrested for illegally crossing the border, and an Iranian member of parliament said they may be charged with spying.

The Iranian government has not confirmed the arrests with Baghdad or the Kurdistan Regional Government, KRG, Falah Mustafa, the KRG’s foreign relations chief told IWPR. He said he is working with the foreign ministry in Baghdad and the Iranian consulate in Erbil to verify the whereabouts of the Americans.

The KRG and the Iraqi government enjoy good relations with both Iran and the United States. Tehran and Washington do not have diplomatic ties.

Mustafa said the KRG is communicating with the US government on the case, calling it a “humanitarian issue”.

“We want to find a resolution to this problem,” he said.

He compared the detentions to those of two US journalists sentenced to 12 years hard labour for illegally entering North Korea earlier this year. They were pardoned and returned to the United States earlier this week.

Kurds, Arabs and westerners residing in Iraq visit Ahmed Awa for its breathtaking mountain scenery, cool air and a nearby waterfall. But its remote location in eastern Iraqi Kurdistan makes Ahmed Awa less popular than more centrally-located mountain resorts.

Most visitors to Ahmed Awa do not venture past the picturesque waterfall, the area’s primary attraction. Hiking is not a popular activity in Iraqi Kurdistan, particularly in areas near the Iranian border which are pocked with land mines.

Shortly after the waterfall the mountain becomes steep and there are no roads or water sources, local people say.

Iran lies just over the crest of the mountain. Residents, many of whom have family on the other side of the border, say they avoid the mountain because trails are narrow, tricky to navigate and difficult to climb.

Land mines lie off of the trails, which were shaped by local people who graze their horses on the mountain and smugglers who carry fuel from Iran into Iraq in winter, residents say. The border is poorly demarcated, they add.

"There was barbed wire there in the past, but not any more,” said Sabir, the Ahmed Awa resident. “It is easy to cross the borders and not know it. Iranian [border] forces used to make arrests, but now not a lot of people go there and if they do they are familiar enough with the area to avoid arrest."

Ahmed Awa tourism workers say they remember the Americans but had little to do with them.

Bahman Muhsin Fayaq, said the three came into his small shop in Ahmed Awa around 3 pm searching for an item,www.ekurd.net but language barriers prevented him from understanding what they needed. People in the area speak Kurdish.

Suhaib Abbas Hama-Saeed, who owns a small teahouse on a bridge near the waterfall, reported the Americans drank tea and stood on the bridge a little after 10 pm the night before they went missing. Hama-Saeed said Shourd spoke broken Arabic.

Both Fayaq and Hama-Saeed said they do not remember the Americans carrying anything with them.

Most tourists admire the waterfall and picnic along the side of the road.

Iraqi Kurdistan's striking scenery may be appealing to westerners, but adventure travel has not taken root in this region. For Iraqi Kurds, the mountains represent the sites of past battles, not places to be explored on foot for leisure.

Some in Ahmed Awa are suspicious that the Americans were more than just innocent travellers, in part because they ventured out alone and far from tourist areas.

"Ahmad Awa is always full of foreigners and Americans,” Sabir said. “But they don’t climb the mountain.”

In US media reports, friends and family members described the three Americans as adventurers with an interest in the Middle East.

According to Meckfessel, Bauer is a language student and freelance journalist, Shroud is an English teacher in Syria, and Fattal arranges student exchange trips. On his website, Bauer reports that he is fluent in Arabic.

Meckfessel said in his statement, “I hope that people understand my friends' presence in the area for what it was: a simple and very regrettable mistake.”

The US State Department has appealed for information on the missing Americans.

An Iranian journalist in Tehran who requested anonymity said he believes the Americans will be released if the authorities determine that they mistakenly crossed the border. He speculated that their release “might ease relations” between Iran and the US.

“Iran doesn’t want to create more problems by holding the three Americans,” he said.

The night the travellers were reported missing, US helicopters flew over Ahmed Awa and the nearby town of Halabja. Checkpoints were set up and Kurdish forces searched the mountain.

Security sweeps are rare in northern Iraq, which has remained sheltered from the violence that has plagued much of the country.

KRG security and government officials say border patrols have not been beefed up since the incident but police in Khormel, the main town near Ahmed Awa, warned an IWPR reporter not to venture past the tourist area or go near the border.

Locals say Ahmed Awa is quiet now.

"I don’t think the incident will hurt tourism in the area,” said Afan Sidiq, who sells flip-flops and other items for tourists.

In other news:

The Iraqi regional security chief in Sulaimaniyah said the area is poorly marked and the three simply lost their bearings..."Our investigations proved there was no political or military reason for the border crossing"...said the Iraqi official, Hakim Qadir Humat Jan. "They came as tourists. Nothing about the way they were traveling points to a possibility of spying. Their financial situation was also weak - they traveled in a crowded bus and stayed at a cheap hotel - and they entered Kurdistan legally. I call on the Iranians to set them free," Jan said.

In the same report, Shourd is described as Bauer's "girlfriend".

Bauer was in the region to cover the July 25 regional elections in Iraq's self-ruled Kurdish area, according to Pacific News Service Executive Director Sandy Close, who said she does not believe he ever intended to go to neighboring Iran....he wanted to "feel out the situation (in Kurdistan) and get some ideas for deeper stories," she said. "Kurdistan is the big story in Iraq now," Bauer wrote..."I'm off to Kurdistan ... "
