The top of the pyramid: The Rothschilds, the British Crown and the Vatican rule the world – Part 5 and Last

FROM THE EDITOR:

I found this interesting article that addresses some parts of the history that we never saw in the past or see in present history books, and how the United States and the Federal Government came to be. Due to its length, El Reportero will publish it in parts every week. Hope you enjoy it and help you to expand your perspective in the history of our political world.  It is also the story of why we pay income tax and to whom – MR. PART 5 and LAST of a series

“The Uniform Commercial Code was approved by the American Bar Association, which is a franchise, a subordinate branch of the British legal system and its hierarchy based in London’s Temple Bar (named after the Illuminati Knights Templar secret society).
As I have been writing for many years, the power that controls America is based in Britain and Europe because that is where the power is located that owns the United States Corporation. By the way, if you think it is strange that a court on dry land could be administered under Maritime Law, look at US Code, Title 18 B 7.
It says that Admiralty Jurisdiction is applicable in the following locations: (1) the high seas; (2) any American ship; (3) any lands reserved or acquired for the use of the United States, and under the exclusive or concurrent jurisdiction thereof, or any place purchased or otherwise acquired by the United States by consent of the legislature of the state.
In other words, mainland America. All this is founded on Roman law because the Illuminati have been playing this same game throughout the centuries wherever they have gone. The major politicians know that this is how things are and so do the government administrators, judges, lawyers and insider ‘journalists.’
Those who realize what is happening and ask the court for the name of the true creditor or recipients of the fines imposed by the ‘legal system’ are always refused this information by the judge.
The true creditors in such cases, and the ultimate recipient of the fines, are the bankers to which the corporation ‘country’ is bankrupt.” — David Icke – Tales from the Time Loop;
Lawyers, or “barristers,” have to take the Bar Association “bar” exam just as alcoholics go to the “bar,” sugar-junkies eat candy “bars,” and gamblers hope to get 3 “bars” on the slot machine. These all derive from the Templar’s turn of the 13th century “Temple Bar” in England.
Originally the Temple Bar was literally just a bar, or chain between two posts next to the Temple law courts.  This soon became a huge stone gate and there were eventually eight of these gates built so the elites could restrict/control trade within the city of London.
They were taken down during 19th century, but then each stone was numbered and kept in storage until 2004 when they just rebuilt the Temple Bar in London.
“The United States corporation was created behind the screen of a ‘Federal Government’ when, after the manufactured ‘victory’ in the American War of ‘Independence’, the British colonies exchanged overt dictatorship from London with the far more effective covert dictatorship that has been in place ever since.
In effect, the Virginia Company, the corporation headed by the British Crown that controlled the ‘former’ colonies, simply changed its name to the United States and other related pseudonyms.
These include the US, USA, United States of America, Washington DC, District of Columbia, Federal Government and ‘Feds’. The United States Corporation is based in the District of Columbia and the current president of the corporation is a man called George W. Bush.
He is not the president of the people or the country as they are led to believe, that’s just the smokescreen. This means that Bush launched a ‘war on terrorism’ on behalf of a private corporation to further the goals of that corporation.
It had nothing to do with’ America’ or ‘Americans’ because these are very different legal entities. It is the United States Corporation that owns the United States military and everything else that comes under the term ‘federal.’
This includes the Federal Reserve, the ‘central bank’ of the United States, which is, in reality, a private bank owned by controlling stockholders (and controllers of the US Corporation) that are not even American. This is the bank from which the United States Corporation borrows ‘money’.” — David Icke – Tales from the Time Loop;
The Shocking Truth About Your Birth Certificate
“If you notice on the bottom of your birth certificate it says Department of Commerce.  It is a property of the Department of Commerce because you are nothing more than a piece of commercial material. That’s why if you’re out of work you don’t go to the unemployment office, you go to the Office of Human Resources, because you’re just a human resource.” — Jordan Maxwell, 1990 Slideshow Presentation on Hidden Symbols;
The Judge sits on the bench for the bank.  Banks are on both sides of a river. A river bank directs the flow of the current/sea – the currency, the cash flow. The current-sea is “deposited” from bank to bank down the river.
We’re just “consumers” to advertise to, just “human resources” to be used up like batteries, and they are the “social engineers,” molding us “useless eaters” into wage slavery.

Meteoric rise in modern diseases could be synergistic effect of glyphosate and vacine

by Jonathan Benson

Something sinister in the modern era is destroying the bodies and minds of today’s children at an accelerating rate — and no, it isn’t better diagnoses or other such lame excuses peddled by the media. People today, especially in the U.S., are increasingly overweight, chronically fatigued, perpetually brain “fogged,” and in a growing number of cases regressively unable to function normally or interact socially due to inexplicable mental problems and neurological disorders.
The autism rate, as a highly relevant example, has risen exponentially since the 1970s, jumping from about 1 in 5,000 children back then to more than 1 in 68 today — a more than 7,400 percent increase! Surely this dramatic surge isn’t solely due to improved diagnostic protocols that, because they supposedly didn’t exist 40 years ago, somehow allowed tens of thousands of autistic children to slip by undetected.
Believing such tripe is like believing in the tooth fairy, as common sense dictates that something other than just modern advancements in disease diagnosis is responsible for ever-escalating disease rates. If you pore closely through the data, you’ll find several common denominators that the mainstream media and health authorities try their best to ignore, but that also turn up in conjunction with disease: pesticides like Roundup and vaccines.
Roundup damages gut bacteria and greatly amplifies toxicity of other herbicides and toxins
Contrary to what Monsanto, its manufacturer, claims, Roundup (glyphosate plus “inert” ingredients that greatly increase its toxicity), the world’s most popular herbicide, is extremely toxic to humans. The complex microbiome in the human gut contains the infamous shikimate pathway that Roundup was designed to inhibit, which means that this necessary process to produce essential amino acids is barred from functioning properly when exposed to the herbicide.
Most of the conventional wheat grown in the U.S. today is doused with Roundup just prior to harvest, as are virtually all commercially approved genetically modified (GM) crops, the derivatives of which are commonly added to processed foods. Roundup is everywhere, in other words, and data on its use over the years reveals a direct correlation between increased exposure to the herbicide and increased disease rates.
Worse is the fact that Roundup has been shown to synergistically increase the toxicity of other herbicides and toxins, making them that much more destructive than they otherwise would be in isolation. MIT researcher Dr. Stephanie Seneff has covered this extensively, noting that Roundup greatly amplifies the toxicity of aluminum, for instance, which is found in many childhood vaccines.
Glyphosate prevents gut from absorbing nutrients, causes toxins to accumulate in blood and brain
Glyphosate, which is just one of the many toxic ingredients used in Roundup, also impairs the expression of cytochrome P450 enzymes, which the human body needs to chelate minerals and synthesize amino acids. When cytochrome P450 enzymes aren’t functioning as they should, virtually every system of the body suffers.
“Despite its reputation, Roundup was by far the most toxic among the herbicides and insecticides tested,” reads a 2014 study published in the journal BioMed Research International. “This inconsistency between scientific fact and industrial claim may be attributed to huge economic interests, which have been found to falsify health risk assessments and delay health policy decisions.”
The link between glyphosate exposure and autism is extensively documented in the scientific literature, as is the corresponding link between glyphosate, vaccines and autism. More on the synergistic toxicity of Roundup and vaccines can be found in the following report by MIT researcher Stephanie Seneff: People.CSAIL.MIT.edu. Natural News.

A model for police reform

by Brett Murphy
Richmond Pulso

Editor Note: In the past decade, the police department in Richmond, Calif. has undergone a dramatic transformation.  As departments nationwide look for ways to improve community ties in the wake of police killings in Ferguson and New York, Richmond stands as a promising template.

RICHMOND, Calif. – Richmond’s police department is undergoing something of a renaissance these days, thanks in part to decades of reform that have moved the department from its longstanding enforcement-driven model to one that focuses more on building trust with the public.
Chris Magnus, Richmond’s police chief, is a nine-year tenure, marked with like gestures: an extended hand to residents, viewed as enlightened by some and controversial by others.
“But the biggest challenge,” Magnus says, “has been changing the perception black community members [have toward police], those who had experienced a legacy of mistrust.”
That fraught legacy goes back decades, to the rough and tumble 1980s when “the cowboys” – a notorious, roving squad of undercover narcotics agents – were regularly accused of brutality, and more recently to the early part of the 1990s, when the city saw record homicides.
More than two decades, and a handful of police chiefs later, crime still racked Richmond when Magnus came on board. In 2005, a year before Magnus took over, there were 40 homicides.
“When I got here we were dealing with an extraordinarily high murder rate, off the charts,” Magnus says. “Officers were just crisis managers, moving from one hot call to the next.”
Department shake-ups
Along with the high crime rate, inner-department crisis and dissent greeted the new chief. He took the reins after a series of stagnant interim chiefs, save the progressive, but short-lived tenure of Chief William Lansdowne in the 90s. Other people wanted change in the past, Magnus says, but the culture of distrust and aggressive policing was too divisive.
Early on, seven African-American officers accused him of racial harassment and discrimination in a civil lawsuit. Part of the allegation was that Magnus had blocked the promotions of black officers. The chief argued that he was dissolving the departmental “buddy system” that rewarded officers’ connections and seniority, instead of merit and performance. Magnus was acquitted in 2012.
Richmond Police Capt. Mark Gagan says these early shake-ups and “unflinching discipline” were not merely a show of force. Since he took over, Magnus has demoted and fired more officers than two decades of previous chiefs combined, while increasing the size of the force from 155 to more than 195 officers.
One of Magnus’ first steps was to decentralize the chain of command. Captains and other middle management positions were given more responsibility. Magnus says even if just one officer can break through and form a bond with a neighborhood, it’s a victory for the department.
That work appears to be paying off. In the past few years, following a crime, or suspicious activity, tips and witnesses come forward more so than ever, Magnus explains. There’s also been a significant drop in overall crime.
According to Richmond crime data, total crime has fallen from 8,168 in 2004 to 5,961 in 2013. While total arrests (adult and juvenile) have gone down from 3,532 in 2005 to 2,705 in 2014.
Richmond also saw a record-low of 11 homicides last year.
A new approach
Community policing, formerly a specialized tactic taught to a handful of officers, has become the mandated status quo in Richmond. Gagan says Richmond is one a few departments in the Bay Area to implement a “true geographic deployment.” Meaning, officers are assigned permanent beats and can’t choose new ones each year, as was the case in the past.
Beat cops attend neighborhood council meetings in their coverage areas. They get out of their cruisers to walk around and meet people, building two-way rapport. Sometimes they’ll even give out their cellphone numbers.
Sergio Ríos, Vice President of the 23rd Street Merchants Association, says prostitution along 23rd street’s busy business corridor dropped significantly when Officer Yesenia Rogers made herself regularly present and available to business owners two years ago. “I can just call her whenever I see something,” he said.
To gain trust in neighborhoods, RPD has also shifted from old-school force to preventative policing. “Verbal de-escalating” has made handcuffs, batons, and guns less and less necessary.
Bennie Lois Singleton, a volunteer with Ceasefire, says years ago she was afraid to even drive down Macdonald Avenue after witnessing shootouts in Nevin Park. Nowadays, she regularly walks the route without trepidation.
“This is all because the community started interacting with police, and vice versa,” says Singleton, a longtime Richmond resident.
“I’ve never been so comfortable with police,” she adds. “It’s like everything else, when you get to know a person, you look at them differently.”
The chief also introduced new technology to help with accountability. Body cameras, vehicle monitoring, and the “blue team” personal monitoring system have been key in holding officers accountable. These new, real-time strategies help watch commanders maintain everything, save a direct eye on beat officers. Interactions with residents, complaint histories, and even the cruiser speeds are closely monitored and digitally documented.
“Now there are real consequences for bad behavior, bad police,” Magnus says. Consequences can come in the form of special training, missed promotions, demotions and even terminations. More often though, the chief says he chooses positive reinforcement to “get people to do their jobs in a new and better way.”
Along with new technology, the department has implemented new rules for dealing with missteps. In-house investigations, like the one around last year’s officer-involved-shooting, a corruption-related firing, and a marijuana cache found in another officer’s house, are made public.
“We’re transparent and proactive in dealing with bad behavior,” the chief says. “People [in the department] don’t want to stand by and let the one percent break the public trust.”

The workplace of 2040: Mind control, holograms and biohacking are the future of business

First published by frank.chung@news.com.au

WHAT will the workplace look like in 2040? Imagine remote working via hologram, commuting by jetpack, even controlling your office with your mind.
MYOB has released its ‘Future of Business: Australia 2040’ report, which examines the possible impact of emerging technologies on business and work over the next 25 years.
While all manner of business interactions will continue to be “formalized, automated and digitised”, the biggest effect will be on what we currently call ‘the workplace,’ according to MYOB chief technology officer Simon Raik-Allen.
Driven by the rising cost of energy and transport, the focus of 2040 will be the ‘suburban village.’ “You will live, work, eat and learn primarily within walking distance of your house,” he writes.
Communities will pool their resources, people will trade with neighbors and list skills on local notice boards, drones will deliver packages between communities or “even a coffee and a bagel to your current location.”
Forget the traditional office or even the remote workspace — localized centers based around suburbs or communities will emerge as the home of business as a response to the growing expense of traditional inner-city office buildings, Mr Raik-Allen says.
These giant warehouses, used by employees from many different companies spread around the globe, will be home to the technology that makes the interconnected workplace possible.
“Within each will be rooms filled with giant wall-sized screens allowing us to work in a fully virtual, telepresence model. Banks of 3D printers would be continually churning out products ordered by the local community.”
Here’s a little of what could be in store:
JETPACKS
Long a dream of science fiction, personal flight via jetpacks is getting closer to reality than ever. The Martin Aircraft Company in Christchurch has developed a jetpack capable of flying for more than 30 minutes at altitudes of up to 800 feet.
“For fans of science fiction from the ‘60s and ‘70s, a number of flying cars have also been developed recently, though few have reached further than the prototype stage,” he writes.
The Martin Aircraft version is currently designed as a first-responder or unmanned transport vehicle, so those eager to go jetting around the skies like Boba Fett may have to wait a few more years.
HOLOGRAMS
Mr Raik-Allen predicts that holographic projection technology will bring about the biggest change to the workplace since email. The seminars that became webinars in the ‘90s and noughties will soon become ‘holonars.’
“You will sit in virtual auditoriums, next to three-dimensional light-based images of your colleagues from around the globe watching a hologram on the stage of someone giving a talk. And you will do this just as easily as you gather in the office today.”
Launching a new business and hiring 500 people could be done in minutes, he argues. “Your company could be just you and a couple of project managers: the thinkers, controlling every aspect of the company through new digital interfaces.”
NEW MONEY
By 2040, we’ll also start to see the emergence of a broader, stronger set of internet-based currencies like today’s Bitcoin, governed by independent bodies that manage an international network of exchanges, he writes.
They will emerge as a way for businesses to work within their closed networks, with major corporations able to create and manage their own money, make internal payments such as payroll, and even trade with other companies.
“Any business will be able to make its own cryptographic currency — to buy and sell at values regulated by the market and at the perceived value of the company. As this trend develops, exchanges of currencies, much like we have today, will arise entirely independent of national economics.”
MIND CONTROL
Here’s where it gets really crazy. If you thought smartphones and wearables were the height of personal technology, wait until you have chips implanted under your skin and downloadable apps for your brain.
Nanobots will swim through your blood, diagnosing illness and clearing blood clots. Brain augmentations will heighten our senses or allow us to control technology with our minds.
For example, implants in the retina could farm off the raw data to miniature processors implanted in our bodies, analyzing the images to identify things that can’t be seen with the naked eye, and then feed that back ‘into the stream’, effectively giving us augmented vision.
“Imagine how that would add to virtual reality,” Mr Raik-Allen says. “100 million nodes [in the retina] is not that many. In 25 years, the processing power of a single phone will probably be condensed to the size of a single red blood cell.”
Already there are examples of rudimentary ‘bio-hacking’, both of the brain and body. One experiment allowed a man to wiggle a rat’s tail with his mind; another demonstrated brain-to-brain communication, allowing two subjects to control each other’s movements.
“These things are already being done invasively, with epilepsy patients for example. We’re just beginning to understand how to process brain information and feed it back in. Eventually you will have an app store for the brain where you can download plugins — maybe to monitor various organs, or sense infra-red.”
What about mind control in the other direction? Will employers be able to bend recalcitrant employees to their will?
“If you want to be sinister about it, that will certainly be possible,” he says.
“We could work out which brain pattern is associated with looking at Facebook, for example, and which is looking at a spreadsheet. The boss could have a dashboard to see who’s working and who’s not.”

Mexico suffers the most horrible crime

by the El Reportero’s news services

Mexico suffers today the most horrible of the crimes of its history, affirmed Felipe Cruz, spokesman of the parents of the 43 students of Ayotzinapa missing since more than five months ago in the Mexican state of Guerrero.
On having intervened in the 19 International Seminar ‘The political parties and the new society’, that organizes the Party of the Work (PT), Cruz said that they will not give up the fight until they give them back their children.
They took them alive, we want them alive, he exclaimed before representatives of tens of parties and progressive political organizations and of left of four continents gathered in the Mexican capital.
It is the most horrible crime in the history of Mexico; they were murdered, tortured. One’s of them face was skinned, he assured.
We will fight so there are no elections as long as the political spectrum is not cleaned, warned Cruz, who made sure that from the bases there are builded structures of power opposite to the neoliberal and privatization precept.
In Mexico the struggle of the people is reborn, and it will not be the electoral way because we do not trust in the Mexican politics, he emphasized.
Seeing the experience of other peoples that have become independent from the neoliberalism give us the confidence that we can achieve it, underlined Cruz, who claimed of the presents to the political forum a support declaration to the cause of the parents of the Ayotzinapa 43.
PRI campaign leader investigated in Spain for illegal action
A head of the electoral campaign that led Enrique Peña Nieto to the presidency of Mexico is investigated in Spain for alleged illegal operations in the Banco Madrid, said today the newspaper El Mundo.
The newspaper cites unnamed sources from the Spanish police, according to which the defendant is Gabino Fraga, territorial coordinator of Peña Nieto’s campaign and member of the team that won general elections in 2012.
El Mundo said that Fraga is included in the report issued by the Executive Service for the Prevention of Money Laundering carried out on clients of the Spanish subsidiary of the Banco Privat d’Andorra (BPA), recently inspected under suspicion of money laundering.
According to the report, in this case a transfer of $445,000 euros is investigated for suspicion that it might be related to illegal funding of parties.
The newspaper indicates that Fraga was accused by main opposition candidate in Mexican elections Andres Lepez Obrador, of being involved in illegal financing actions.
According to the source, Peña Nieto denied the charge and accused Lopez Obrador of defamation, although the Executive Service for the Prevention of Money Laundering of Spain believes that Banco Madrid did not monitor Fraga in accordance with the law.

Lost and Found, new album by Buena Vista Social Club

by the El Reportero’s news services

Lost and Found, the new album of the Cuban musical project Buena Vista Social Club, with unreleased songs recorded by its precursors, is ready, The Guardian newspaper stated today.
The group of veteran musicians and singers, founded in 1997 by Juan de Marcos Gonzalez and launched by British Ry Cooder, announced last year its dissolution in 2015, but it continues working.
The disc will not only include songs from the precursor times, but also a selection of tracks recorded live and in studio, during the early successes of the band.
Nick Gold, of the World Circuit record company, said he knew of certain unpublished gems by Buena Vista Social Club, but so many new projects emerged that they did not have time to delve into the past.
“When we finally had time, we were astonished for so many wonderful music it had,” said Gold, who stated that the launch of “Lost and Found” will be on March 24.

Bolaño: Good writer, bad literary critic, says Padura
Cuban novelist Leonardo Padura stated today that Chilean Roberto Bolaño was a great writer, but ‘’the worst literary critic of recent years’’.
For Padura, perhaps the more-read Cuban author in Latin America, Bolaño is the most important writer of his generation, although his anger with everybody permeated this judgment as a critic.
“He was a great lair, as the great writer he was: if he had read all the books he said he read, he would not have been able to write not even one of his own”, joked the National Prize for Literature-2012.
The creator of the character Mario Conde defined as “a Chilean fighting fish”, whose fight against past and contemporary authors made him issue drastic and sometimes misguided judgments.
Even so, Padura considered that the novels Los Detectives Salvajes (Savage Detectives) and the posthumous 2666 are enough to establish Bolaño (1953-2003) as one of the greatest authors in Latin American literature.
Padura and Bolaño as both considered important authors, with both a tendency for the police novels, a genre each of them reinvented in their own context and time.

Experts discover a Rembrandt painting retouched after his death
The baroque painting Susanna and the Elders, painted in 1647 by one of the greatest painters and printmakers in European art, the Dutch Rembrandt, was widely retouched a century after the death of the artist, it was reported here today.
The German gallery Gemldegalerie of Berlin discovered that the English artist Sir Joshua Reynolds repainted two thirds of the picture in the second half of the eighteenth century, while preparing an exhibition.
“It was a fairly radical intervention. Actually, only the characters correspond to the version finished by Rembrandt’, said Bernd Lindemann, director of the Berlin museum.
Apparently Reynolds, who was the owner of the canvas, felt that the painting needed a comprehensive improvement, speculated Lindemann.
‘Susanna and the Elders’ can be seen until May 31 in the capital’s museum along with previous studies of Rembrandt and drawings of his students on the topic.
The Dutch artist (1606-1669) painted three versions of the piece that were reconstructed thanks to modern technology.

Documents reveal Rockefeller foundation activerly engaged in mass-mind control

by Jurriaan Maessen

From archive material from the 1940s onward, it has become apparent that the Rockefeller Foundation has for decades now fanatically nurtured research into fear-inducing brainwashing techniques for the masses.
In a series of generous grants in the 1940s- and 50s, extended to Professor Carl I. Hovland of Yale University, the Foundation actively funded research into “the psychological mechanisms through which communications exert their influence.” Main research subject deals with the question of “how the individual deals with the welter of conflicting ideas with which he is constantly bombarded; how “wishful thinking” and emotional bias affect judgment; and whether the judgment process is transferred from one situation to another are among the problems to be studied”, we read in the 1954 Rockefeller yearly report.
Hovland, besides conducting research into behavioral and attitude-changes of groups, was also part of the Rockefeller Foundation’s social science staff. In addition to that, the professor was heavily involved in other branches of the Anglo-American establishment. In the study Origins of mass communications research during the American cold war by Timothy Glander, the author explains:
“(…) Hovland held key positions on several major national boards, including the Air Force’s Human Resources Research Institute, the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Office of Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force, and he doubtlessly had input in determining the research agendas that these organizations pursued.”
Already in 1948 the Foundation was directing cash toward Hovland and his team. In the 1948 report the authors outlined the reasons behind the grants given:
“An understanding of communication and attitude change is important to our educational system, to those who lead great organizations, and to those who are concerned with political opinion and behavior. More dependable knowledge of how effective communication may be achieved in the area of attitude and opinion is essential (…).”
In the days of the Cold War, propaganda was often so blatantly obvious to the accustomed-to-freedom westerner that it was more easily identifiable as such. The Rockefeller Foundation understood that the American people needed to be subjected to more sophisticated forms of manipulation if the gradual push for global government was to be effectively sold in the decades to come. The 1954 report explains:
“Although movies, television, and comic books are widely believed to be effective in contributing to the rise in juvenile delinquency in this country, these and the other media of mass communication appear to be much less effective when applied to the desirable end of promoting good citizenship, or a positive democratic ideology in the “cold war.”
“Good citizenship”. A phrase that should chill the very fiber of every freedom-loving individual.
“(…) it is feared that Soviet mass communications are outstandingly successful in disseminating communist propaganda, both behind the Iron Curtain and in neutral countries. In an effort to throw light on this anomaly and to aid development of scientific principles governing the effectiveness of mass media, the Rockefeller Foundation has continued its support of the Communications Research Program at Yale University with an outright grant of $200,000.”
In 1954, 200,000 dollars was an exceptional amount of money. This substantial grant is just one example out of many in which the Rockefeller Foundation threw huge sums of cash in the direction of social scientists for refining and perfecting the art of indoctrination. One of the results of their studies was that fear, induced or otherwise, makes the person a willing victim for the elite. The website changingminds.org gives an adequate summing up of professor Hovland’s findings:
“You do not have to cause pain to create fear. The human frontal cortex has a primary function in thinking about the future. We are quite skilled at imagining what might happen and experiencing anticipatory emotions. This has proved helpful in our evolution, but it can also cause problems as anticipated fear of things that may not happen cause us stress and allow others to persuade us.”
The study-phase has long since evolved in the implementation-phase. In the mid seventies the Foundation was already busy buying off reporters and funding media-empires into existence. Even then “climate change” was actively being promoted as a tragic result of human meddling in the affairs of mother earth. Genetically engineered food was already being pushed as the cure to remedy all ills. The thing was putting the emotion-based responses as observed by Hovland into practice. The 1974 Rockefeller Foundation journal reports:
“Several science editors were asked to participate in Foundation meetings on climate change, food production and interstate conflict, genetic resistance in plants to pests, and aquaculture. Stories appeared subsequently on the front page of The New York Times, and the Associated Press carried substantial stories which were widely used. In each instance, the writers were introduced to our program officers and encouraged to use them as resource people. (Officers are now, in fact, being called on by journalists, particularly in areas of current high news interest such as food production, population problems, environmental issues, and the arts.).”
On several occasions, and in different publications spread throughout its long and sordid past, the Rockefeller Foundation openly brags using media- figureheads for their own purposes. In none of these instances does the RF mention any problem encountered with any of the media moguls they contacted. In the 1974 yearly report, Bill Moyers is mentioned as one of the beneficiaries of information disseminated by the Foundation.
“In preparing its remarkable 25-part series on the world food situation, the New York Times reporters have become acquainted and have established fruitful ongoing relationships with a good many of our officers. Our staff have provided substantial information and further contacts for Bill Moyers in his television series dealing with the problems of global interdependence. These are only a few of the many productive new relationships we have established with representatives of the mass media.”
In order to sell the public on world government, the research of professor Hovland has proven invaluable. As anyone can see, the techniques are fanatically being applied to this day. Consider the warmongering-machine the Anglo-American establishment fires up as soon as geopolitical objectives come into view. In part II of this investigation we will delve into another dimension of professor Hovland’s research which lies at the core of all mass communications: the influence of film and music on the subconscious mind, directed both at the individual and at the masses.

The top of the pyramid: The Rothschilds, the British Crown and the Vatican rule the world – Part 4

FROM THE EDITOR:

I found this interesting article that addresses some parts of the history that we never saw in the past or see in present history books, and how the United States and the Federal Government came to be. Due to its length, El Reportero will publish it in parts every week. Hope you enjoy it and help you to expand your perspective in the history of our political world.  It is also the story of why we pay income tax and to whom – MR. PART 4 of a series.

“In 1604, a group of leading politicians, businessmen, merchants, manufacturers and bankers, met in Greenwich, then in the English county of Kent, and formed a corporation called the Virginia Company in anticipation of the imminent influx of white Europeans, mostly British at first, into the North American continent.
“Its main stockholder was the reptilian King James I, and the original charter for the company was completed by April 10th 1606. This and later updates to the charter established the following:
“…The Virginia Company comprised of two branches, the London Company and the Plymouth or New England Company…The ‘Pilgrims’ of American historical myth were, in fact, members of the second Virginia Company branch called the New England Company. The Pilgrim Society is still a major elite grouping within the Illuminati.
“The Virginia Company owned most of the land of what we now call the USA, and any lands up to 900 miles offshore. This included Bermuda and most of what is now known as the Caribbean Islands.
“The Virginia Company (the British Crown and the bloodline families) had rights to 50 percent, yes 50 percent, of the ore of all gold and silver mined on its lands, plus percentages of other minerals and raw materials, and 5 percent of all profits from other ventures.
“These rights, the charters detailed, were to be passed on to all heirs of the owners of the Virginia Company and therefore continue to apply… forever!
“The controlling members of the Virginia Company who were to enjoy these rights became known as the Treasurer and Company of Adventurers and Planters of the City of London.
“After the first 21 years from the formation of the Virginia Company, all ‘duties, imposts, and excises’ paid on trading activities in the colonies had to be paid directly to the British Crown through the Crown treasurer…
“The lands of the Virginia Company were granted to the colonies under a Deed of Trust (on lease) and therefore they could not claim ownership of the land…
“The monarch, through his Council for the Colonies, insisted that members of the colonies impose the Christian religion on all the people, including the Native Americans…
“The criminal courts on the lands of the Virginia Company were to be operated under Admiralty Law, the law of the sea, and the civil courts under common law, the law of the land… Now, get this. All of the above still applies today!”– David Icke – The Biggest Secret;
The United States Inc.
“For those who think America controls the roost it would do well to consider that the Queen of England is still the official head of Commonwealth (123 countries) and the official monarch of Australia and Canada along with the United Kingdom… add to that the fact that all Bush Sr. got for his two terms as president of USA is a mere knighthood of the British Empire.” — Prash Trivedi;
The original 13 colonies were actually called companies. Military units are also called companies. We sing patriotic songs like “the Star-Spangled Banner,” but a banner is a corporate advertisement, not a flag.
You surrender with a white flag, no colors. When you get mad you show your true colors. If you just won independence in a bloody revolution with Britain would you choose the same three colors for your new US flag?
Why does “every heart ring true for the red, white, and blue?” What about the gold-fringed flag used by the military, hung at all courts, schools, and government buildings?  It all has to do with the British Maritime Admiralty Law of Flags.
“This is also known as British Maritime (military) Law and this is why the American flag always has a gold fringe when displayed in the courts of the United States. You find the same in government buildings and federally funded schools.
“The gold fringe is a legal symbol indicating that the court is sitting under British Maritime Law and the Uniform Commercial Code – military and merchant law not common or constitutional law, under the Admiralty Law of Flags, the flag displayed gives notice of the law under which the ship (in this case the court) is regulated.
“Anyone entering that ship (court) accepts by doing so that they are submitting to the law indicated by that flag. Judges refuse to replace the flag with one without a fringe when asked by defendants who know the score because that changes the law under which the court is sitting.
“If you appear in a court with a gold fringed flag your constitutional rights are suspended and you are being tried under British Maritime (military /merchant) Law.” — David Icke – Tales from the Time Loop;
International Maritime Admiralty law, the law of the high seas, began in Sumeria, was perfected in Rome and continues to this day. Jordan Maxwell has explained that the way we trade commerce today is modeled after the Masons’/Templar Knights’ 1,000 year old system.
Notice how regardless of whether you send a product by air, water, or land – you “ship” it. The ship pulls into its “berth” and ties to the “dock.”  The Captain has to provide the port authorities with a “certificate of manifest” declaring the products he has brought.
Through a legal loophole the royals have created, US citizens are considered property of the queen under British Maritime law. Since we are born of our mother’s water, from her “birth canal,” we are thereby a maritime product, a “shipped” commodity. Our mothers were delivering a product under maritime law and that’s why we are born in a “delivery room.”
That’s why the “doc” signs your “berth” certificate, your “certificate of manifest.” You’re kept in the Maternity “Ward.” Why a ward? No other hospital areas are called wards. Prisons have wards and wardens.
The United States Corporation came about just after the civil war. The Act of 1871 was passed by congress creating a separate form of government for DC, essentially turning it into a corporation.
It was decided that employees would be called “citizens.”  So when you say in court or on paper, that you are a citizen of the United States, you are not a free American, but an employee of US Inc.
When you get a fine, a ticket, a bill, or get sued, you must sign in all capital letters. When you die, your Masonic tombstone by law will have all capital letters to show their employee has died.
The entity that is your name in all caps is your maritime admiralty product code. Upper and lower case legally represents you, your body.

10 nutritional deficiencies that may cause depression

by Mike Bundrant

Do you ever wonder where you positive emotions went?
If your optimistic outlook on life has soured, then you should know that – beyond psychological approaches – nutrition plays a key role in maintaining your moods.
There are several nutritional deficiencies that can lead to feelings of depression
You may want to consider asking your healthcare practitioner if you’re lacking in any of the important nutrients below. If your healthcare practitioner is not open to considering nutritional deficiencies as a cause of depression, then you might consider firing your healthcare practitioner.
Correcting a poor diet and adding the right supplements should be primary objectives for any doctor with proper education and integrity. Getting your nutritional needs met is the least expensive, least invasive, safest and most effective means of restoring balance to your body.
Here are 10 nutrients to research and test:
#1 – Amino Acids
As protein’s essential building blocks, amino acids play a key role in helping your brain function properly. When you aren’t getting enough amino acids in your diet, you may begin to feel depressed, unfocused, and sluggish. Increase your intake of red meat, beans, seeds, and nuts in order to ensure you are getting enough of these vital nutrients.
#2 – B Complex Vitamins
According to a study conducted in 2009, more than a quarter of all older women diagnosed with severe depression were deficient in B complex vitamins, suggesting that these are far more important for our mental health that anyone previously realized.
Today, the National Institute of Health suggests a daily intake of 2.4mcg of B-12 and 1.5-1.7mg of B-6. These essential nutrients can be found in meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk, and seafood such as mussels, clams, and crab.
#3 – Vitamin D
Vitamin D deficiencies have not only been linked to depression, but to autism and dementia as well. The easiest time to become vitamin D deficient is during the fall and winter months, when we’re receiving less sunlight. According to the National Institutes of Health, adults need 600 IUs of vitamin D per day.
However, according to Dr. Mark Hyman, this number should actually be between 5,000-10,000 IU for maximum mental health.
#4 – Folate
A low folate level has been shown to seriously lessen the effectiveness of antidepressants. In fact, some enlightened psychiatrists now prescribe folate for depression.
Most adults require a minimum of 400mcg daily, which can be consumed by eating plenty of dark leafy greens, citrus fruits and juices, legumes, and beans.
#5 – Iodine
Iodine is critical to your thyroid function. Though it seems small, the thyroid affects almost every system in your body – your energy level, body temperature, metabolism, immune system, brain function, and more. When you are low on iodine, your thyroid function suffers, leading to feelings of depression among other symptoms.
#6 – Iron
It’s estimated that nearly 20 percent of all women suffer from an iron deficiency. This can cause symptoms that are very similar to depression, including: fatigue, inability to focus, and irritability. It’s important to make sure you are consuming between 8 and 18mg of iron each day.
#7 – Magnesium
Nearly half of all Americans are deficient in magnesium. This is because consuming too much salt, caffeine, sugar, alcohol, and experiencing chronic stress can all deplete the body’s stores of magnesium. Magnesium is one of the most efficient minerals at combating the harmful effects of constant stress. Men require between 400 and 420mg per day, and women should consume between 310 and 320mg per day.
#8 – Omega-3 Fatty Acids
You may have heard that these are important for heart health, but they can have a serious impact on your mental health as well. Even if you take a daily fish oil supplement, you may still not be getting enough Omega-3s in your diet.
Your body can’t make these compounds on their own – you need to eat them (in the form of fish like salmon, halibut, and tuna or nuts like walnuts and flaxseeds) and take supplements to ensure you’re getting all of the nutrients you need.
#9 – Selenium
Selenium is also important for optimum thyroid function. It is also an important antioxidant, helping to keep polyunsaturated acids in the cell membrane from becoming oxidized. Most of us need a minimum of 55mcg of selenium to stay physically and mentally healthy.
#10 – Zinc
Zinc is another nutrient that is vital to many of the systems in our body. Not only does it aid digestion, it also helps our DNA produce and repair proteins. It can boost immune system function and helps to control inflammation in the body.
