SKY LORD

SKY LORD

There is an old song that is played repeatedly on classic rock radio by the Alan Parsons Project called “Eye in the Sky.”
The song is in part a reference to George Orwell’s classic novel, 1984, regarding a possible future in which individual privacy is virtually non-existent due to the ever-watching eye of Big Brother. In the novel, citizens are constantly monitored by hidden video recording equipment.
The late Forrest J. Ackerman, founder of the magazine, Famous Monsters of Filmland, once told me during a lunch meeting in California that he remembered a young Steven King sent him an idea for a script. It was only two page script called “The Killer,” and at the time he went by Steve King.
Ackerman also said that Stephen King once related a story that when he was a child of the 1950’s he remembered that while he was attending a science fiction B- movie, the screen suddenly went dark. The manager of the theater walked to the front of the auditorium. With an ashen face and tears in his eyes he told the crowd that the Soviet Union had just launched Sputnik.
The dread of this announcement would not even be felt today, however back then it was devastating because there were many people who knew what this meant. It meant that the Russians now had the power to not only put satellites into space, but perhaps nuclear weapons would be next.
It was a sign back then that the world was being undone; unraveling like thread around a spool. The paranoia at the time was fertile ground for horrific tales of aliens, and nuclear annihilation from space. Now the ante has been raised and while the alien stories still haunt us, the thought of an outer space we can’t control and a battle in space that will most likely destroy the earth is something that seems to be inevitable.
The frustrating thing about is the fact that we do not know what is above us. We do not know what weapons are there, or what space stations observe us, and what unnatural things are observing us from platforms that have been there for decades.
The Eye in the Sky is now a reality and yes, we are being watched, but we are also being heard and targeted from space.
Nearly 40 years ago, when it seemed that conspiracy theory and speculation about corruption was in its adolescence in the United States, there was always a paranoid notion that from the times of the Russian satellite Sputnik until now there was always the unproven notion that somebody, in some government was in space watching us and that ransom individuals would be obliterated where they stand with some laser or particle beam weapon.
In the beginning, we had the conspiracy theory.
Looking up in the sky there were UFO’s, strange movements of what was called “swamp gas” and rumors about moon bases observing our every move. We had the frustration of being told that it was all paranoia.
In the end, we had the death toll of previous whistleblowers, names, dates, room numbers and evidence that proved that — not only was the FBI, CIA, and the NSA part of a sophisticated “Big Brother” network of the “all-seeing eye” — there were also part of an even more sinister net of the “all-seeing ear.”
A story broke in November of 1998 out of Australia and it went virtually ignored. It was about a rumored surveillance system called “Echelon.” The system it was rumored was sophisticated system that used a satellite position some 100,000 miles in space.
MenwithHillUK-Echelon_outpost
This began an all-out rumor mill investigation into whether or not Echelon was just a pipe dream thought up by some paranoid genius or a very real system that was in operation in order to track and control every American and every world citizen at all times.
Echelon was reported to be a sophisticated satellite surveillance network that was the result of a proposed CIA spy satellite treaty in 1948. We were told that these systems weren’t anything new. In fact, the Internet was relatively new and stories like Echelon were reported outside of the United States and bulldog reporters and conspiracy theorists were looking for vindication by reading reports from other countries about what our government was up to.
It was reported that these sophisticated surveillance networks apparently had been in place since the 1980’s.
It may be hard to imagine what an impact a story like this had on people who were already worried that there was intelligence overreach already taking place in the United States.
Now we are told that China, Russia and the United States are busy conducting business above us with secret projects and the evidence is circumstantially showing up in social networks and You Tube channels.
Arms control advocates say it is clearly the beginning of a “weaponization of space” – precursor to a precision global strike capability and a full spectrum surveillance apparatus that would allow the US to collect data for months at a time over anywhere it chooses and then unleash firepower without warning anywhere in the world including here at home if necessary.

The story and the conspiracy yarn regarding space weapons and kinetic bombardment have now caught on. The magazines, Popular Mechanics and Scientific American, had recently reported that there will soon be a war waged between China, Russia and the United States and it will not be conventional but cosmic.
Three years ago Barack Obama signed a sweeping aviation bill that, among other things, would open the skies to “unmanned aircraft systems,” more commonly known as drones. In the future it will be common to see unmanned drones patrolling the skies above us as 30,000 armed drones are expected to fill the sky under the control of an electromagnetic grid system.
This grid system known as the “space fence” will record the route and speed of every vehicle on the streets. It will allow the military to observe the movements of individual pedestrians. At night, the space fence will capture the precise moments when the lights in living rooms and bedrooms are turned on and off. The data that the military will acquire, which can be correlated with information from mobile devices and smart meters, will become an important component of the growing digital record of nearly everything we do.
One of the lesser-known assets of the US Space Command’s world-wide space surveillance system is the 217 MHz NAVSPASUR “fence” across the southern US. It is proposed that this fence warns the military of potentially hostile threats both foreign and domestic. However, there are other agencies such as DARPA that have been attempting to construct an electromagnetic, self-aware artificial intelligence grid for full spectrum dominance. This system would be used for surveillance, electronic harassment, mind control, geo-engineering and weather control.
Since the 1980’s the Military Industrial Complex has been busily working on a fool proof space fence system that would be comparable to “Skynet” featured in the Terminator films.
While a malevolent empire that inflicts “Judgment Day” on us all is not so much what scientists fear, there are certain parallels in developing technology to this highly-intelligent and human tracking and possibly hunting, electromagnetic grid system.
From 1983 to 1993 DARPA spent over $1 billion on a program called the Strategic Computing Initiative (SCI). The agency’s goal was to push the boundaries of computers, artificial intelligence, and space dominance.
Star Wars, the popular nickname for Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), was a popular political football in the 1980’s, however it did manage to create ideas that included a electromagnetic grid or dome that could be hyper-connected to a surveillance apparatus, that would also be able to alert and dispatch autonomous war machines to find targets and destroy them.
The missions of SDI and SCI not to mention their originating institutions overlapped too much to be a coincidence, despite everyone’s insistence that it was just that.
Whether or not you believe SCI was going to function as an arm of the Star Wars mission for space-based defense, we are now questioning if there is now above us a functioning “space grid” that will not only defend us from enemy threats, but will also control us and even eliminate us if we are targeted by the all- seeing eye.
Imagine a global wireless network overseeing various sub-networks within the U.S. military. Imagine armies of robot tanks on the ground talking to fleets of drones in the sky and unmanned submarines in the sea, all coordinating their activities faster than any human commander ever could. Now imagine it all being that much more complicated, with nukes waiting to be deployed in space.
The projects of SDI and SCI have allegedly petered out, but it does not mean that the space fence surveillance network idea has not ceased to evolve.
Whistleblower Edward Snowden made us all painfully aware of the government’s sweeping surveillance programs and how we are all targets in the cyber surveillance state. But a new program, currently being developed at the NSA, suggests that surveillance may fuel the government’s cyber defense capabilities, too.
The NSA whistleblower says the agency is developing a cyber defense system that would instantly and autonomously neutralize foreign cyber-attacks against the US, and could be used to launch retaliatory strikes as well. The program, called MonsterMind, raises fresh concerns about privacy and the government’s policies around offensive digital attacks.
This program has been received the unfortunate nickname, Skynet.
Ground Zero reported a few months ago that the Jade Helm 15 exercise that was being said in some conspiracy circles, to be a cover for martial law in this country, was actually a test run for this technology in the domestic battleground.
The Joint Air Defense Training Simulation was reportedly an A.I. based holographic simulation. It appears that it is being utilized during the unusual JADE HELM warfare drills and in urban warfare settings that are happening now. The Joint Air Defense Training Simulation is better known by its acronym that is JADE.
635646217384988526-DFN-Simulation-Close-Air-Support
“JADE” appears to be a DARPA-developed A.I. quantum computing technology that produces holographic battlefield simulations and will be in charge of the drill in order to “master the human domain” and predict human response.
There are two distinct programs provided by Raytheon JADE I and JADE II.
We reported last July that Operational Analysis of “War Gaming” and the explanation of the JADE holographic simulations can be found in Raytheon Reference memos which state that The NATO Modeling and Simulation Group Technical Activity 48 (MSG-048) was chartered to evaluate a Command and Control (C2) Language, Coalition Battle Management Language, for Multinational and NATO C2 collaboration supported by modeling and simulation tools. To achieve this, MSG-048 is using an emerging open technical standard, based on the US Joint Battle Management Language (JBML) prototype web services.
Make no mistake -we have always reported that the Jade Helm 15 exercise appears to be an implementation of Artificial General Intelligence on the battle field, literally “mastering the human domain” much like the full spectrum dominance that is proposed with the space fence system.
I find the thought of nicknaming such a complex data mining and surveillance system SKYNET is the biggest form of Hubris. I mean, couldn’t it be something innocuous like SKY WATCH or SKY LORD?
It is so mind boggling to think that they do not even suspect that this space fence “sky net” won’t generate alarm with an already “jaded” American public.
Perhaps we would be better off submitting to our new “intelligent” terminator overlords.

Virtually unrestricted NSA data mining tramples on Fourth Amendment rights brazenly. In December 2013, Federal District Court of the District of Columbia Judge Richard Leon ruled NSA spying unconstitutional, saying:
The threshold issue is whether plaintiffs have a reasonable expectation of privacy that is violated when the Government indiscriminately collects their telephone metadata along with the metadata of hundreds of millions of other citizens without any particularized suspicion of wrongdoing, retains all of that metadata for five years, and then queries, analyzes, and investigates that data without prior judicial approval of the investigative targets.
I cannot imagine a more ‘indiscriminate’ and ‘arbitrary’ invasion than this systematic and high-tech collection and retention of personal data on virtually every single citizen for purposes of querying and analyzing it without prior judicial approval.
Surely, such a program infringes on ‘that degree of privacy’ that the founders enshrined in the Fourth Amendment.
On Friday, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals overruled him. It’s perhaps America’s most extremist appeals court. People for the American Way (PFAW) explained its character and power as follows:
Despite progressive victories in 2012, the far right’s outsized influence on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit gives them the power to undermine progressive laws and thwart the agenda that Americans elected President Obama to pursue.
This court’s decisions affect the entire country, making it second only to the Supreme Court in national importance. (It’s) dominated by right-wing ideologues who are deeply hostile to the use of a robust federal government to tackle national problems and make our lives better.
It has exclusive judicial authority over federal agency decisions and regulations affecting everyone. Its rulings are “almost guaranteed to be the last (judicial) word,” said PFAW.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) called its Friday ruling “disappointing and, worse, based on a mistaken concern about the underlying facts.”
It remanded the case back to Judge Richard Leon. Klayman plaintiffs must prove the impossible – provide evidence that their phone records were collected. No ruling was rendered on metadata collection constitutionality. Friday’sdecision effectively endorsed it.
EFF explained recent government “releases…make clear that the plaintiffs’ records were in fact collected.” Documents obtained from a New York Times FOIA request revealed Verizon Wireless collects bulk telephone records of its subscribers without their knowledge – at least since 2010, likely earlier.
“The government should give up its shell game here and admit the time frame that it collected the Klayman plaintiffs records, along with all other Verizon Wireless customers,” said EFF.
Most important is unconstitutional mass NSA spying on virtually all Americans – for phony national security reasons. An earlier article explained the following:
In June 2013, the ACLU challenged “the constitutionality of the National Security Agency’s mass collection of Americans’ phone records (ACLU v. Clapper).
It argued that doing so violates Fourth and First Amendment rights, saying:
Because the NSA’s aggregation of metadata constitutes an invasion of privacy and an unreasonable search, it is unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment.
The call-tracking program also violates the First Amendment, because it vacuums up sensitive information about associational and expressive activity.
NSA claims authorization under the Patriot Act’s Section 215 – the so-called “business records” provision.
It permits warrantless searches without probable cause. It violates fundamental First Amendment rights. It does so by mandating secrecy.
It prohibits targeted subjects from telling others what’s happening to them. It compromises free expression, assembly and association.
It authorizes the FBI to investigate anyone based on what they say, write, or do with regard to groups they belong to or associate with.
It violates Fourth and Fifth Amendment protections by not telling targeted subjects their privacy was compromised. It subverts fundamental freedoms for contrived, exaggerated, or nonexistent security reasons.
At the time of its suit, the ACLU said “(w)hatever Section 215′s ‘relevance’ requirement might allow, it does not permit the government to cast a seven-year dragnet sweeping up every phone call made or received by Americans.”
The 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) authorized surveillance relating to “foreign intelligence information” between “foreign powers” and “agents of foreign powers.”
It restricts spying on US citizens and residents to those engaged in espionage in America and territory under US control.
No longer. Today anything goes. America is a total surveillance society. Obama officials claim no authority can challenge them. Governing this way is called tyranny.
The US Second Circuit Court of Appeals agreed. It held Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act doesn’t permit bulk collection of Americans’ phone records. A three-judge panel ruled unanimously – overturning a lower court decision.
The Obama administration argued that the ACLU lacked “standing” to challenge NSA surveillance practices, and Congress “precluded” judicial review except by the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court most often only hearing government arguments.
The appeals court rejected this reasoning, saying:
If the government is correct, it could use Section 215 to collect and store in bulk any other existing metadata available anywhere in the private sector, including metadata associated with financial records, medical records, and electronic communications (including e‐mail and social media information) relating to all Americans.
Such expansive development of government repositories of formerly private records would be an unprecedented contraction of the privacy expectations of all Americans.
The DC Circuit Appeals Court refused to strike down mass data-mining – violating the constitutional rights of millions of Americans – effectively supporting tyranny by not opposing it.
“Instead, it endorsed the government’s argument that no public, adversarial court can review its actions unless those seeking review can prove with some certainty that they were one of the millions whose records were collected,” said EFF.
Its ruling requires mass data mining challengers to “perform an almost impossible task – proving the still secret details of an admitted mass surveillance program in order to have a court determine whether it is constitutional.”
The ruling further erodes freedom in America, fast disappearing altogether. It’s a triumph for tyranny. EFF said it’ll “continue to fight to hold the NSA accountable for mass collection of Americans’ private information. Our phone and Internet networks should be protected from unfettered government spying.”
Enactment of the Orwellian USA Freedom Act (the renamed Patriot Act) changed little. NSA and other US spy agencies continue trampling on constitutional protections.
Big Brother is real. Unconstitutional mass surveillance is official US policy. It’s one of the most defining characteristics of unchecked police state power.
Edward Snowden said he “do(esn’t) want to live in a world where there’s no privacy and therefore no room for intellectual exploration and creativity.”
Nor should anyone tolerate unconstitutional intrusiveness.

UPDATE: MORE ON THE CONTINUING MALAYSIA AIR FLIGHT 370 SAGA

If you've been following the bizarre story, or rather, non-story, about the missing Malaysia Air Flight 370, there has been more news, or rather, more non-news.
And that's been the whole problem since the beginning: there's no story, no agreed upon narrative of the event, no official international "Warren Report", no matter how silly the story. What we have is a non-story, a not-agreed-upon narrative that has yet to be written. There have been, of course, a raft of conspiracy theories, each with their problems, and none of them really gaining any traction. Oddly, it seems like everytime we get close to getting a story - no matter how Warren-Report-silly that story may be - something happens to derail the narrative, and we're back to square one once again. For example, the geopolitics surrounding the event - were it not for the sad loss of human life - was almost comical to watch. Within a week of the disappearance of the flight, American FOX TV (or as I like to call it, Faux News) ran a interviewed an American General (a lieutenant general as I recall, and I don't recall his name), who calmly assured the audience that his "sources" inside the intelligence community assured him that the missing flight had secretly flown close behind another civilian airliner over India (thus appearing to be only one radar signature to the befuddled Indian radar operators), whence -safely out of hostile Indian airspace, the airliner was secretly landed in (you guessed it) Iran, where it was going to be repainted and used as a false flag terrorist operation undern the auspices of Tehran and Moscow. Or something like that... frankly, I don't remember too well because I was laughing too hard. The only thing missing from the General's narrative and costumery was the monocle, the piked helmet, and the German accent.
All that worked, of course, for about five minutes, when the Indian government promptly informed the world that the whole thing was aviational and radar nonsense, which, of course, it was.
And so it went. A ridiculous narrative was created and just as quickly evaporated.
Then, recently, just as the whole mystery had finally seemed to drop off the radar of global consciousness, debris turned up on the French island of Reunion, and immediately it was speculated that the debris was from Flight 370, and just as immediately, people started poking holes in that theory. One individual (Mr. R.A.) emailed me and argued that the wing part (the flapperon) found on Reunion should have significantly corroded in salt water, there wasn't enough marine growth on the part, it should have sunk by now, and so on.
So all eyes were on France, which unlike Malaysia, was in no hurry to identify the wing part as being from Flight 370. Now, once again, the mystery deepens(thanks to Mr. K.L. and many others who shared this article):
Disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370: Investigators Fail to Link Reunion Aircraft Debris to MH370
Here's the gist:
“French authorities, in consultation with Malaysia, will give updates on progress when the time is right”, added the ATSB. The judicial authorities are in fact  remaining silent and refusing to comment on anything. According to our sources, the experts found no irrefutable technical elements that would allow to us to certify 100% that this piece belongs to flight MH370. “The experts’ conclusions are the only technical part of the criminal investigation, which is still going on”, says an insider of the investigation. As of now, the only certitude is that the flaperon that was tranfered from the Reunion Island  to Toulouse on August 5 corresponds to a moving part of the wing of a Boeing 777. If the deputy prosecutor of the Republic of Paris has stated that there was a “very strong supposition” that the piece belonged to the plane of flight MH370, which disappeared 18 months ago, that statement is based on circumstantial evidence.
First, the piece belongs to the aircraft model corresponding to that of Malaysia Airlines, a Boeing 777. In addition, no other aircraft of this type except that of the Malaysian company were reported missing.
Also, the trajectory of the wing piece that ran aground on a beach in Reunion matches the sea currents that link the search area of the wreckage of the plane to the French overseas department. Finally, the shells found attached to the flaperon belong to a species endemic to the southern Indian Ocean where the unit is believed to have disappeared.
According to a Toulouse aeronautics expert who requested anonymity, the element of the wing would not have floated for several months at the water’s surface but would have drifted underwater a few meters deep.
According to Jean-Paul Troadec, former chairman of the Bureau of Investigation and Analysis (BEA), the state of flaperon, even if it is not intact, indicates that there was no violent impact with the ocean surface. “If this had been the case with the MH370, one would expect much smaller debris than a flaperon,” said the expert.
Or, to put it 'country simple":
Experts from the Directorate General of Armaments have finished surveying the flaperon found on Reunion Island. Nothing certifies that it belongs to MH370!
So once again, we're depending on "inside sources" for the "fact" that France has concluded that the part is not from Malaysia Air 370, yet, just enough circumstantial evidence is rehearsed to indicate it might be.
So what are we left with?
Well, once again, we're left with pretty much what we started with over a year ago: no agreed upon narrative, no definitive debris or evidence, and an obfuscated story which tends to indicate that someone very much wishes for the story not to go away.
The real question, with this latest chapter of non-news concerning the non-narrative, remains why. And of course, the bigger question remains: what happened to flight 370, and its victims?

On the 50th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg, veterans of the Union and Confederacy reunite civilly, and shake hands. [1913]   ~ & fucking gee "we's" still fucking fight~in IT  & isn't it safe 2 say  N & S & B &W ...have suffered ...enough Huh ...isn't it 
(The official war records of the United States refer to this war as the War of the Rebellion. The records were compiled by the U.S. War Department in a 127-volume collection under the title The War of the Rebellion: a Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, published from 1881 to 1901. Historians commonly refer to the collection as the Official Records.[16)

VIRGINIA LIVE TV SHOOT FAKE

Posted by George Freund on August 27, 2015


I would have to vote FAKE in this purported shooting. Many things don't add up. First for me was the muzzle flash which you really don't see in the daylight. The 'victims' don't react to the first shots. There was no blood. The camera was aiming his camera 90 degrees away from the TV reporter. No one notices his approach with the pistol at the ready. It is all too convenient. I feel we are dealing with another high intensity staged operation to give us something to talk about other than the economic collapse and to focus on disarming the WE THE PEOPLE for the corporate take over of the United States and other nations after the economic RESET scheduled soon. You can't trust WE THE PEOPLE with the RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS while forming a totalitarian world government. So don't get carried away with emotion. It was another staged drama. Remember what William said the world's a stage and every actor plays his part. If there is any legacy to the Obama regime, it will be faked crises to establish power and cover treason. Hillary has her battle cry. Gun control for all. Hard drive what hard drive. See you fall for bait and switch too easily.
