Clinton has 'serious concerns' on Russia... JPost - International

Clinton has 'serious concerns' on Russia... JPost - International: Clinton has 'serious concerns' on Russia vote

Wow, if it was Jimmy Carter, he would "approve" the elections in Russia, as he did for Hugo Chávez.

But I don´t trust Hillary. If she said she has "serious concerns", what it means?

"US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Monday she had "serious concerns" about the conduct of Russia's parliamentary elections and Russians deserved a full investigation of all reported irregularities"

The campaign for Sunday's election was marked by "limited political competition and a lack of fairness," observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the Council of Europe's parliamentary assembly said.

The vote count "was characterized by frequent procedural violations and instances of apparent manipulation, including several serious indications of ballot box stuffing," the monitors said in their preliminary report.

Maybe it is time for the mantra "The communism is dead" along with "Russia is a democracy" to put aside.. Enough was allowed to Russia to oavertake its previous dominance over its former "satallite" republics...

The west turned aside to many things Russia did over the last years:

1) The bombings in Moscow - 1999. It was an FSB "job", according to deceased agent Alexaner Litvinenko.
2) Russia supported Saddan Hussein - It helped him to hide wmd in Syria
3) The invasion of Georgia and Ukraine, in 2008
4) The assassination of Polish PM in 2010, in a fabricated plane "accident"

Cuban people is starting a riot? It was amazing that people tried to impede the guards to arrest these two brave women that dared to protest against the government in Cuba.

Is Libertarianism a Gnostic or Utopian Political Movement? | The Libertarian Standard

2011-06-22T12:48:00.000-03:00

I´ve been reading some books on the occultist origins of the "progressive" movements and agreed they are profoundly founded in gnostic source.
I have been wondered if the so-called "rationalist" libertarian apply to the same group. For me it seems yes. This article shred some light on the issue.
Good reading.

Obama and Osama: "Weekend at Bernie´s" spoof?

2011-05-02T11:37:00.004-03:00

A photoshopped dead.

An old movie, a comedy called "Weekend at Bernie´s" shown a dead man (by natural causes) that some buddies pretend to be alive just to enjoy the weekend in his fabulous summer house.
This seemed to be what happened to Osama, as stated at infowars site.
Osama´s body was maintained frozen for the last 8 years.... And now is "killed" to distract the American people.

World Net Daily changes positon regarding Obama's Certificate

2011-05-02T06:12:00.000-03:00

I published a post in April, 28th asserting that Obama´s certificate was a fraud.
In the same day, World Net Daily deny such leads in an article (Graphics pros challenge Obama birth certificate http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=292673#ixzz1LBTxahIo) that reproduces one opinion asserting that the layers and other signs found on the document : "None of this is an indication of forgery,"... "They just wanted to save a few bucks for the bandwidth, it seems."
We kept what we said, despise of it. Now, three days after, NWD joins the bandwagon saying that "Online 'birth certificate' document 'was changed' Analysis raises possibility content of text was altered" (Online 'birth certificate' document 'was changed').

Thanks specially to Daniel Wachholz, that help me a lot on the issue.

Birth "Fakeficate": Obama's Easter Egg !!

2011-04-28T18:52:00.006-03:00

Maybe It was a delayed Easter Egg he hatched yesterday....
In fact It was not only one document, but many ones.

One for the background, another for the lettering and minor ones for the signatures... Look.

Follow the instructions below and create your own "fakeficate".

For real: I've downloaded the document from US government site and opened it using a free program called libreoffice (openoffice). All the layers of the fabricated document are there.
It was inspired by website infowars, and I decided to check myself.

Here's the detailed instructions (google translated) from my portuguese blog.

Update!
I´ve received an extensive analysis from a friend that is graphic art & design professional.

"I just download the file and opened it in Adobe Illustrator. I took the test and post here my findings. It's a little long, but I think it's worth.

In Photoshop, the blog mentions, it is impossible to see the layers. But the AI, as edit PDFs, recognizes a layer, but divided into dozens of sublayers (sublayers), each with one or a handful of objects. That is already more than enough to prove that there is a single image, scanned.

But suppose, in the generation of PDF, the image was "sliced", which is possible. That would be an argument of believers. Well, if it was sliced and scanned image output, the various "cuts" (slices) of the image would not have any depth. Would be several objects at the same level, side by side. In this PDF, there are images of images: there is no depth and the "slicing". Point.

Reflecting further, and ignoring the evidence above (the depth and the various sublayers are not evidence, but evidence), the PDF could be done in two ways, if it were real:
The official certificate was photocopied on green form, and then scanned. In this case, the copier to convey letterhead printing the certificate, using the toner. Open the PDF approach and well around the texts. Noticed something different? There glare around all objects in black. Because there is no toner and white copier with rubber, this gloss is a complete impossibility.
The official certificate was scanned and superimposed on the background, it would be a letterhead also scanned electronically. In this case, both the background and the certificate would be imported in an editor, and after that, exported as a PDF. But there is a problem there. The certificate, if scanned, would have the background blank. When imported and placed on top of your letterhead, would see its bottom. But that fund does not appear. Then there are two possibilities:
Set the opacity of the certificate as "multiply". Multiplied with the colors, everything is white, some, including brightness. Impossible then. This leads to the second possibility.
Edit the image, removing the white background (or delete it, or vectored it or save as a PNG or GIF with transparent background). That would explain the possibility of putting the shine ("outglow). Only, there we proved the image editing.
Here, point by point, why the document is false, "

The Real Aim of Communists and Their Heirs

2011-04-20T08:06:00.002-03:00

This blog exposes the communist perspective on the alliance US-URSS to defeat the Nazi in the 2nd World War. There´s no reason to believe that nowadays, their heirs pursue the same goal, as Golitsyn has informed almost 30 years ago.

Here´s the quote from Yugoslavia´s dictator Tito.

The Sole Aim of Alliances with the West | The Moral Liberal: "Our collaboration with capitalism during the war which has recently ended, by no means signifies that we shall prolong our alliance with in the future. On the contrary, the capitalistic forces constitute our natural enemy despite the fact that they helped us to defeat their most dangerous representative. It may happen that we shall again decide to make use of their aid, but always with the sole aim of accelerating their final ruin. (2)"

Another crime in Rio remains seldom unnoticed

2011-04-12T13:10:00.001-03:00

Not only Jihadist terrorists feed the violence in Rio. The average crime continue its route.
Some of them became so regular that are not noticed are big news anymore.

But this case is different because it was an attempt to silence a blogger for his political views and denounces, but remains quite "no news" in the media in Brazil.

A blogger, Ricardo Gama, was shot several times in an attempt of assassination in Rio de Janeiro in late March.
Ricardo, who is a loud critic of corruption and suspicions relations among drug smugglers and high rank politicians in the state, including the governor Sergio Cabral and Rio´s mayor.
Afterall, he is alive and returned to his youtube emissions and his blog, ricardo-gama.blogspot.com ,but his case remains quite unnoticed by the major media outlets in Brazil.

Here some links on the case:

More on Brazil´s Jihadist Massacre

2011-04-11T13:10:00.000-03:00

More details regarding to the attack.

In a coincidence, 5 days before the shooting, the major Brazil´s weekly magazine "Veja" (look!) cover report titled "The terror network in Brazil" exposed the connections between Jihad´s extremists in Brazil. Some CIA sources revealed how the these extremist act.
One of these reports speakout about an African man that is "exporting terrorists" to US and England for two years now and using Brazil´s state of Sao Paulo as headquarter.

The biggest media watch site in Brazil, Midia Sem Mascara (created by philosopher Olavo de Carvalho) published in the same week a column by Diogo Chiuso that gone into the very center of the issue: How the São Paulo Forum (our old acquaintance..) is promoting the liasons among South American terrorist like Farc, with European terrorist like ETA, Jihadist groups like Al-Qaeda and the leaders of the region, that includes Lula da Silva, Chávez, Evo Morales. It revealed: "In the book The Day of Islam, Paul Williams (a former CIA agent) cites the Sao Paulo Forum as an articulator of bargaining between terrorists and drug traffickers."

The fact that these reports hit blank point: The "protest" against "veja", for an example, can be measured by this Google search ("Veja odio islamismo no brasil" - Google research)
where dozens of pro-islamic websites repeated the very same article accusing "veja" to be "anti-islamist". One of this articles said "Veja magazine is sowing the seeds of hate towards Islam".

No, it was not "veja" that "sowing the seeds of hate". You, Jihadist-islamic people are the ones that hate everyone.
It was not a suprise to see the Sao Paulo Forum involved, cause they reunited all US haters in South America and reached out to all anti-US leaders of the world, like Kadaffi, Mugabi, Ahmajinehad.. Why did they get Jihadist out of this league??? Of course not.

Brazil´s Jihad-like massacre and Fort Hood

2011-04-11T07:47:00.001-03:00

Last Thursday (April, 7th) Wellington Menezes de Oliveira killed 12 children in a school in Realengo (Rio de Janeiro). He entered the school and as a former student, tell to the people the he was going to make a speech in one of the classes. He brought two guns (no registered) and reloaded the gun 9 times before he was shot and killed himself.

He wrote a letter with strict rules that must be applied to his funeral, with outstanding references to that written by Mohammed Atta (one of the perpretators of 9-11 attacks).

When the news emerged the connection with Islam was clear: he declared himself as a muslim (after left Jehovah Witnesses four years ago).
But as soon as it emerged, the "cleansing" of the Islam connection started.

Many people in Brazil wrote on the case as the "Brazilian Columbine". Despite they had been occurred in a school, the Brazilian case must be considered as a twin of the Fort Hood case.

He received some instruction by the internet. He was a part of a group called "group". He broke his computer at his home to avoid investigations to find some link.

Just like in US, the "investigators" don´t want to pursue such leads. They believed Wellington was a lone lunatic that acted on his own.

Read the latest in Globo News Site

"In the manuscript, Wellington back to quote the "group" - and the name of someone who would have come from abroad is repeated, Abdul: "I'm sure it was my father who sent them here in Brazil and he recognized Abdul told him to come with others precisely to Rio .. because when I met them and revealed 'everything' to them I was 'very' well received and there was great celebration. " (..)

"The fixation on terrorism had been felt by people living with Wellington, as the barber who attended him seven years ago. To the police, he said that "in Wellington last year has let his beard grow, reaching lengths up to his chest." When played with Wellington, saying he would cut his beard, the customer stopped him, saying "I'll be expelled."

(..)

"The charge of the investigation does not consider it necessary to open this line of research. "All extremist groups are out of question. He was rather a fool, who so cowardly decided achieve the life of defenseless children and then committing suicide as it happened," says the officer Felipe Ettore."

A Glowing Report on Radiation - Page 1 - Ann Coulter - Townhall Conservative: "With the terrible earthquake and resulting tsunami that have devastated Japan, the only good news is that anyone exposed to excess radiation from the nuclear power plants is now probably much less likely to get cancer".

Behold, radiation could be good & bad, Ann.
Or even "unusual" as William Holcomb states in this article titled "Humanity and radiation: The good, the bad and the unusual" :
"Natural sources of radioactivity and radiation are all around us, and synthetic radioactive materials are a vital part of medicine and industry. Exposure to some radiation, natural or synthetic, is inevitable. In living with radiation, we must understand the risks and benefits".

On the other hand, if the missile did not originate from the US military, then there are only a few likely alternatives. Russia, of course, has significant SLBM capability, while Red China has a limited SLBM capability. North Korea or Iran could potentially launch a Shahab or Taepodong-2 missile from a ship disguised as a civilian vessel. One thing is clear: This missile delivered a big message from someone to someone.

Definition of "Inception"

2010-09-07T14:30:00.001-03:00

It seems that most of the late films are somehow connected to Disney´s studios.
"Avatar" is a bad copy of "Pocahontas".

But Inception (2010)

is brilliant. My definition?
Inception="Matrix" + "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind"

But Disney?
Oh, some say the inspiration to Inception came from here.

Yes, there are such thing like real creationist scientist

2010-08-31T09:58:00.001-03:00

Some days ago, I started to search on the internet on the thesis of the creation of the Scrablands, near Washington.
After much exploring the theme, I was lead to some "theories" that (atheist) critics say they are rubbish.

But one of these brought my attention because of its elegance and robustness: the hydroplate theory.
I´ve read the book (or most of it) on line and it was really surprising. See here.

Yes, there are critics, but I have found this article very reasonable.

Hydroplate theory more robust than appreciated - National creationism | Examiner.com

Hydroplate theory more robust than appreciated

* February 11th, 2010 12:37 am ET

Walt Brown (Center for
Scientific Creation)

The hydroplate theory of the Global Flood, first proposed by Walt Brown, PhD, in 1995 and refined considerably since then, is far more robust than one might appreciate merely by reading link summaries on Internet searches on the phrase. Most of the criticisms of it turn out to be classic exercises in circular reasoning.

The most respectable of Brown's critics is Dr. Glenn R. Morton, a physicist who clearly accepts the uniformitarian view of geology (that all processes observed today have always operated, at the same rates, since the earth began). This view colors his thinking, and clouds his judgment.

First, Morton assumes that Brown's theory requires the earth's surface to be "perfectly smooth." This he concludes after calculating that mountains, mentioned by Shem, Ham, and Japheth (Genesis 7), would overstress the ten-kilometer crust that initially covered the pre-Flood subcrustal ocean, according to Brown's central assumption. But the Bible never says how high the highest mountains were before the Flood, so that assuming that any of them were as high as are typical mountains today assumes a fact not in evidence--especially since Brown holds that the crashing of the "hydroplates" created after the initial event created the modern mountains. More to the point: to go from not being able to support mountains as high as modern mountains, to having to be "perfectly smooth," is a frankly silly exaggeration. (Morton never says how "perfect" the "smoothness" needs to be, so that one may reasonably assume that Morton is suggesting that the earth's surface needed to be a toolmaker's flat!)

Next he assumes that the crust covering the subcrustal waters would collapse very early, in geological terms. He is probably assuming the same great ages that most uniformitarians do, forgetting that 1,656 years passed between Creation and the Flood. He stated that the model requires pillars to support the crust; in fact, Brown's model does feature pillars, though this could have been a refinement added after Morton's 2003 critique. More to the point: the recent demonstration of a subcrustal ocean on Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, and the (quite reasonable) inference of a subcrustal ocean on Europa (and probably also on Ganymede, whose crust is even thicker and heavier), strongly suggests that a subcrustal ocean is not the outlandish device that Morton and others seem to believe. (Note: the surfaces of Europa and Enceladus are not toolmaker's flats, by any stretch.)

Morton's worst error is to assume that the water would be too hot, and would remain hot as it escaped from the initial rupture. The water would indeed be hot--and in fact, supercritical on account of the tremendous pressure. But it would not remain hot as it escaped. According to Brown's model, the water rushed nearly straight up and all the way through the atmosphere, and there lost its heat and fell as freezing rain and even hail. Nor did this rain fall all at once; Shem, Ham and Japheth clearly testify that the rain fell "for forty days and forty nights."

The common thread in all the errors that Morton makes is circular reasoning--as if Morton says to Brown, "Your theory does not work under my theory, so your theory must be wrong." Albert Einstein's critics no doubt made the same mistake.

New Theme

2010-08-27T06:05:00.001-03:00

As you can see, this blog is not dead, at least yet...
I have changed the theme. After more than 4 years with the same look, I decided it was time to "change"...
Just to notice, I took some of the themes offered by blogger and added a new logo.
The logo was created using a photo I have taken here at the mouth of Douro River last winter. It was a very windy day and the waves hit hard against the rocks and the lighthouse. I thought it was perfect for "swimming".
But it is not the only "news": I decided to reactivate some old projects, like "colligated blogs".
So, wait for new content. Here and there.... "and everywhere"...
