Fail-Safe

Fail-Safe

Before you begin reading this commentary, please research the meaning of the word “Fail-Safe”.

The assumption I am making is that all “forces and isms” must have a foolproof escape clause. Throughout history, as far back as one wishes to investigate, governments and political leaders always feared for their personal safety. There existed at all times a counter-balance to the prevailing political ideology or religious dogma exercised by the government of the day. The possibility of over-throwing the prevailing political leader for his/her inappropriate governance was a built-in safety net for a nation state.

If one carefully studies the news one can see a cancerous corruption that has metastasized in “democracy”. As I mentioned just a short while ago, the President of France has just recognized the Syrian rebel faction as the legitimate government of Syria. How and why did he arrive at this conclusion? France appears to speak for itself, but it in fact speaks on behalf of the entire NATO alliance.

Democracy has carefully chosen who it will fight or target. For example, it has chosen a mild “cold-war type” approach with China, and military action against less significant foes (ex. Egypt, Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan etc). Media propaganda will have you believe that the “foe” in all cases is evil, but that could not be further from the truth. The creation of a foe is an essential step in the preservation of democracy. It in fact shelters the mad-men who have usurped the true meaning of democracy. “Security” is the ism which protects the corruption rather than its citizens.

Consider this. If America continues it secessionist movement and specific states revolt against the government of the day, should the leader(s) of this new movement be appointed the new leaders of the USA, specifically if China and Russia announce it to be so? In other words, what happens when the shoe is on the other foot? Should the existing leaders be executed (i.e. just like Hussein, Gaddafi).

Democracy is gradually losing its fail-safe clause because shadow governments and intelligence organizations have taken control of all policing organizations, justice systems and the government legislatures. They continue to take affirmative action to limit and exhaust any possibility of revolt. In Canada, for example, Prime Minister Harper has just criminalized the wearing of a mask during a protest, but he has not criminalized the actions of fraternities who hide behind the “veil”……I speak of Freemasonry and Illuminist traitors.

The steps that current NATO governments have taken to manipulate the masses is beyond comprehension. The silent non-responsive action by intelligent people is beyond belief. We have failed to keep ourselves safe because we have come to rely on the false doctrine of security.

Thank you,

The Suspended Light

The Suspended Light

When you awake
You shed the shadow of death
When you bathe
You wash off the crust of rigor mortis
When you dress
The gauzes of eternal life pause in the Per-Nefer
When you feed
The corporal organs reinvigorate
When you saunter atop the terrain
The ages acknowledge your pulse
When you slumber at day’s end
The suspended light magistrates your fate.

Thank you

Pole Shift Up-Date

Pole Shift Up-Date

Last year, in about April 2011, I posted some intriguing news to my website so that readers could keep up-to-date with one of NASA’s latest space projects. I have searched the web and come up with the following article which details NASA’s very eerie space mission.

With the prophetic date of December 21, 2012 quickly approaching, you cannot eliminate the possibility of this new NASA magnet having an impact on the Earth’s magnetic poles.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NASA's Search for Parallel Universes & Dark Matter to Launch Tomorrow

A futuristic experiment sounding like something out of a sci-fi novel that will hunt for anti-matter galaxies and signs of dark matter, was nearly cancelled but is finally poised to voyage into orbit aboard the next-to-last space shuttle mission.

The $2 billion Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, a more than 15,000-pound (6,900-kilogram) device searching for cosmic- rays -- high-energy charged particles from outer space -- will ride up to the International Space Station on the shuttle Endeavour this Friday April 29.

The instrument will employ a nearly 4,200-pound (1,900 kg) permanent magnet to generate a strong, uniform magnetic field more than 3,000 times more intense than Earth's. This deflects cosmic rays so that a battery of detectors can analyze their properties, such as charge and velocity, and beam their findings to mission control.
When NASA launches the experiment, Sam Ting, Principal Investigator for the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-2 experiment, hopes that it will provide data that proves the existence of parallel universes that are composed of anti-matter. Discoveries could verify theories and answer basic questions regarding how the Universe formed.

According to Ting, the experiment is already accruing data as it awaits its launch date. Scheduled to fly aboard the final flight of the space shuttle Endeavour, STS-134, AMS-02 will search through cosmic rays for exotic particles, antimatter and dark matter. The experiment will be mounted to the outside of the International Space Station (ISS) and will require no spacewalks to attach.

While Ting has certain things that he hopes to discover, he believes that the most exciting questions are those that scientists don't even know to ask yet.

The particles that the 7.5 ton experiment is currently registering have had some of their qualities removed by the abrasive nature of Earth’s atmosphere. This problem will be solved after Feb. 26 when the AMS-02 is delivered to its new home on the space station’s S3 truss assembly. From its high vantage point it is hoped that the experiment will open new windows into particle physics and cause a revolution in our understanding of the Universe.

Ting hopes that AMS-02 will provide data that proves the existence of parallel universes that are composed of anti-matter. It is also hoped that the experiment will also discover particles that contain magnetic and electric particles that are exactly the opposite of ordinary particles.

Discoveries could verify theories and answer basic questions regarding how the universe formed, such as that of Burt Ovrut, professor of theoretical high energy physics at the University of Pennsylvania and pioneer of the use of M-theory to explain the Big bang without the presence of a singularity. Ovrut and colleagues imagine two branes, universes like ours, separated by a tiny gap as tiny as 10-32 meters. There would be no communication between the two universes except for our parallel sister universe's gravitational pull, which could cross the tiny gap.

Orvut's theory could explain the effect of dark matter where areas of the Universe are heavier than they should be given everything that's present. With Ovrut's theory, the nagging problems surrounding the Big Bang (beginning from what, and caused how?) are replaced by an eternal cosmic cycle where dark energy is no longer a mysterious unknown quantity, but rather the very extra gravitational force that drives the universe to universe (brane-brane) interaction.

Up until AMS-02, mankind’s understanding of cosmic rays has been limited to measuring light gathered in telescopes such as the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).

The AMS-02 P.I. is also hoping to find out what dark matter is made of. This material is believed to be the “glue” that holds the Universe together. Mankind’s understanding of cosmic rays has been limited to measuring light gathered in telescopes such as the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). This experiment will be the first time that charged particles can be studied in the cold vacuum of space – away from the distorting influence of Earth’s opaque atmosphere.

The Dream Team Soon to Depart Obama-Nation

The Dream Team Soon to Depart Obama-Nation

Rather should I say “nightmare”. The media reports that Hilary Clinton, Timothy Geithner and Ben Bernanke will not seek re-appointment to their respective roles in political anarchy.

The future for Timothy Geithner looks bright. Copy and paste LINK in a new screen.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-11-05/what-s-next-for-tim-geithner-.html

Not bad for a guy who assisted in the demise of the American economy. Based on his record, an annual salary over one buck should be considered too much.

Hilary Clinton is said to be leaving the state department. News has it Hilary and Bill will be leaving the USA altogether. With their criminal record they should be seeking occupancy on a new planet. Copy and paste LINK in a new screen.

In ground breaking news, well known government insider Steve Pieczenik stated that Hilary Clinton ordered the kill on American Ambassador Christopher Stephens - this in attempt to escalate Middle-East tensions.

Ben Bernanke has cited his own exit strategy. Copy and paste LINK in a new screen.

Now that the Federal Reserve has accomplished its task of bankrupting the world Bernanke can retire in Israel.

John

John

One of America’s most decorated military combatants
Slaughtered on the battlefield plaza of Masonic treachery
Womanizer, philanderer, beloved father and husband
This the paradox of benevolence, brilliance and greatness
His resonance idles in our forgetful minds
A flame burns atop his grave to mark Mankind’s ultimate hope,
To see the Light.


I give you a Bible verse from the Gospel of John:

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.


The primary assassins responsible for John F. Kennedy’s murder were Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon and George Herbert Walker Bush. Such men of evil should not follow in the footsteps of greatness. Those who America fails to punish, God will not forgive.

Americans who accept this tragedy as a consequence of history neglect their duty to the world. You were the nation that conceived this good son.

In remembrance of John F. Kennedy,

Economist: Another word for “Dick Head”

Economist: Another word for “Dick Head”

The ever present theme in economic and financial forums is the profound concept of productivity and competiveness. Please read the following gloomy statistic:

According to new U.S. government projections, only (3) three of the (30) thirty occupations with the largest projected number of job openings in the next eight years will require a bachelor’s degree or higher. Most job openings by 2020 will be in low-wage professions like retail sales, fast food and truck driving.

Social pressure, political reassurance and corporate hiring policies drove the educational scam. Academia provided shelter for and cultivated a risk-averse and politically inept student mass. It then surgically guided this mutation into the arms of the emerging virtual world.

Mutual funds, derivatives and financial deregulation allowed Wall Street to strip Main Street of all their capital. Wall Street then moved all that capital to Asia.

In conjunction with a vast supply of new capital, Asia flourished with an abundant supply of cheap labour, inexpensive state-of-the-art plant and equipment and the lure of extremely low corporate income taxes. This manufacturing platform christened the doctrine of obsolescence, and gave birth to the Frankenstein we know today as the debt-filled consumer.

In the background, technology took gradual control of our lives. Other than corporate greed, It was the driving force to our current structural unemployment crisis. Technology is the cancer that will eventually undo education. Technology and education have an inverse relationship for the larger segment of the population. As technology exponentially grows, fewer and fewer individuals will be capable of keeping pace with the advanced knowledge.

With the impending demise of the U.S. Petro Dollar as a reserve currency, we can predict two things with certainty, i) the implementation of a globalist agenda or ii) the re-birth of strong and independent regionalized nation states. The awakened sheeple will have had a significant impact on the course of this planet’s political future, only if number two prevails.

What does all this mean? Technology will continue to displace jobs, and education will become a hobby. We will eventually have two social classes: technocrats (1%) and the proletariat (99%). Productivity and competitiveness, harnessed by technology, will produce the perfect Utopian society. The technocrats and the proletariat will be better known as the Morlocks and the Eloi.

You can read the commentary I wrote October 25, 2011 on the Morlocks and the Eloi.

The World Wide Web and the Growing Menace of Cyber-security

The World Wide Web and the Growing Menace of Cyber-security

Today, virtually everyone surfs the World Wide Web. Every moment individuals log onto their personal or business computers and connect to a vast interactive virtual network. Individuals and organizations usually pay a monthly connection fee to ISPs (Internet Services Providers) to access this vast “network of inter-connected servers”.

If you research and try to understand the dynamics of WWW you will in all likelihood drive yourself crazy. Most online information explaining the WWW will tell you that it is a “network of inter-connected servers”. It dismisses fully the concept of a “central hub” that controls the entire system. Many have nick-named this so-called central hub “Fu Manchu or the Matrix”. The adage that “the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist" parallels the mystery and dangers of the WWW.

To try and understand the WWW you must ask a few questions:

a) How do individual ISP’s connect to one another? ISPs use different technology to transit information over the internet (fiber optic cable, satellite systems etc.).
b) How do independent servers connect to ISPs? Is that connection voluntary or involuntary?
c) How do ISPs and servers around the world connect to one another? Technology and politics differ from nation to nation (ex. China can block sites it deems politically inappropriate). Why do we have consensus in the virtual world but not in the tangible world?
d) Does information stored on a particular server become a permanent record on the WWW or is it lost when a server shuts down?
e) Why are sensitive or high security networks, which can become victims of cyber terrorism, connected to the ubiquitous version of the WWW? Can smaller high-security networks outside the larger WWW network be constructed?
f) How many central ISPs (ex. ATT, Bell) connect to the WWW? More importantly, what are they connecting to?

Please read the commentary I wrote October 30, 2010 via the following LINK. It is one of the most important things you will ever read:

http://josephpedepoetry.blogspot.ca/2010/10/ideals-of-john-f-kennedy-versus-mandate.html

We can attempt to explain the functionality of the WWW with the following example. You plug-in an appliance into a power outlet to make it functional (consider that appliance to be a server). Thousands of other homeowners residing in your city are doing exactly the same thing as you. We are all drawing energy from a central utility (consider this to be an ISP). That utility generates power from a central energy source (the non-existent hub).

The only parallel is that the energy source (ex. nuclear reactor) is connected to a larger power grid (inter-connected servers). This allows nuclear reactors, coal furnaces etc. to supply and share energy along the grid. The dilemma is that unlike the WWW the power grid has geographic limitations. A nuclear reactor in Toronto cannot connect to a nuclear reactor in China. In the absence of a central hub, does the same parallel not hold true for ISPs?

The protectionist and defensive nature of security has mutated into an oppressive technological control system. We will take infinite steps to protect technology but not to protect human life. Our total reliance on energy and technology has created this conundrum. But what would happen if energy was free and abundant? This possibility exists but it has become a victim of political terrorism.

King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia

King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud

King Abdullah is the recipient of a number of international high orders. Most notably, he is an honored knight of the strictly Roman Catholic Order of the Golden Fleece (the Spanish branch), which has caused some controversy. He is number 17. I have provided both the Spanish and Austrian branch members for your review.

King Abdullah and Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar, are key allies of the United States in destabilizing the Middle-East. Did you notice that former French President Sarkozy is a member of the Golden Fleece? Just this week French President Francois Hollande made the news.

France has become the first European country to recognize the newly formed Syrian opposition coalition and says it could consider arming the rebels.

French President Francois Hollande said Tuesday that the newly united rebel coalition is the sole legitimate representative of the Syrian people and a future government of a democratic Syria.

China: It's Time to Gaza-up Your Vehicle

China: It’s Time to Gaza-up Your Vehicle

Former ambassador to China James Sasser made crystal clear that the new political leadership in China must focus on corruption. Outgoing President Hu spoke of the same malaise affecting Chinese officialdom in his final speech to the general assembly, and implored members of the assembly to curb their appetite for corruption. Western governments find it is easy to criticize and even condemn China, but at least the Chinese acknowledge that there exists a major issue in their system of government. When is American foreign policy going to admit to their decades-long involvement in global genocide?

Nexen is not about a foreign government taking control of a major Canadian energy company, but rather an important geo-political decision for the Harper conservative government. Relinquishing a stake in Canada’s energy sector impacts i) the financial interests of the British monarchy, and ii) the resurgence of the American oil industry. This is not a Canadian decision, but rather a tri-lateral decision. The final resolution will ultimately impact how economic power is shared or won in the next decade.

American, British and NATO influence in the Middle-East in no accident. By destabilizing this region, and implanting new puppet regimes, NATO and the Anglo-American union can more properly guide the renaissance of the American oil industry. In so doing, these two forces will be better able to control who has access to oil in Europe and the oil-hungry Asian markets. The same logic can be applied to Malaysia’ Petronas failed bid for Canada’s Progress Energy. This is an indirect means of ridding both China and Russia from the Middle-East and disenboweling the alliances between Iran, Syria, Pakistan, China and Russia.

In this analysis you can see why the overthrow of Vladimir Putin is a prime objective of the globalists. To have China and Russia as powerful military and economic allies casts great uncertainty on the direction of globalism. The control of oil will dictate who maintains control of globalism or a strategically re-configured regionalism. Russia has become an oil and gas super-power at a very inconvenient time in history.

We have yet to escape the claws of a carbon tax. This tax will allow globalists to extract the last ounce of wealth from debt-ridden families. There is growing evidence that oil is abiotic and not fossil. This one reality serves to undermine peak oil and current oil prices. Our governments make us believe that corporations seek alternate energy solutions, but the true fact is that we are being taken for a ride. Oil will continue to be the resource that controls the masses. Only when the masses are completely subdued will sacred technology and free energy makes its appearance on this planet.

Today, Hilary Clinton publicly admonished the Australian government for their strong economic ties to China. In this analysis Australia can be viewed as a rogue member of the British Commonwealth and problem for the Anglo-American union. Regionalism is already casting its warnings to nation states.

You may wish to read the article I wrote on March 26, 2011 entitled "J.R. Ewing Is Coming Back to America". Not only is oil coming out of the ground in America but J.R. Ewing has made a resurgence on TV.

Revelation 11:18

Revelation 11:18

What could be more fitting for the 18th of November than Revelation 11:18. Yes numbers and dates will continue to have extreme meaning in the next short while.

18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.


Read the entire verse of Revelations 11, specifically 11:18 and 11:19

11 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

China’s Unique Situation

China’s Unique Situation

Seldom do nation states acquire global stature, wealth and power in less than one generation; rarely do three living generations witness that change simultaneously. In the wake of Hu’s departure there is great uncertainty with the future of China. There is great skepticism in how China would fair in a global economic slow-down and the resilience of the Chinese economy. With China beginning its new decade-long political reformation there are many questions for the outside world, but even more-so for the socially emancipated youth who have experienced the re-birth of a nation.

I don’t think any of the above really matter. To understand China you must understand the ferociousness of poverty. In the past two decades three generations of 1.3 billion Chinese experienced a great economic and cultural renasciamento, one the world has not seen in five-hundred years. The Chinese who experienced this great awakening will not go gently into that good night, nor will they regress back in time.

Those who count China out were not made in China. When one compares the apathetic, detached, docile and unaspiring state of the North American and European youth, to their adventurous, curious and ambitious Chinese counterparts, the answer is visibly apparent.

Thank you,
Joseph Pede
