Saturn Death Cult – Troy McLachlan on GW Radio
By http:--www.GnosticWarrior.com - Welcome to the Gnostic Warrior Radio Show and Podcast. In this episode I interview author and alternative history expert, Troy McLachlan. Troy is the author of the Troy Mclachlan slider (1)books, Saturn Death Cult and Cosmos in Collision. The Saturn Death Cult is an investigation into ancient planetary upheavals that heralded the birth and destruction of a fabled Golden Age following which mankind then degenerated into the obsessive pursuit of wealth and power through the perverted horrors of slavery, child sacrifice and mass-murder rituals. In this podcast Troy tells us about the alternative natural history of the planet Saturn as an explanation for the emergence of fearful rituals and agendas believed by many to be practised and promoted by occult elites the world over. He makes an intuitive attempt to link warped mythology-inspired sex-murder blood rites to the rise of a financial system dedicated to promoting a form of debt-slavery as a means of maintaining said elites in their positions of power.

Pilots Baffled by Orange and Red 'Mystery Lights' Over the Pacific Ocean!
A pilot and his co-pilot have spotted a mysterious orange and red glow over the Pacific Ocean. The strange lights were spotted south of the Russian peninsula Kamchatka during the flight of a Boeing 747-8 from Hong Kong to Anchorage, Alaska. ‘Last night over the Pacific Ocean, somewhere South of the Russian peninsula Kamchatka I experienced the creepiest thing so far in my flying career,’ he said. There were no thunderstorms on their route or weather-radar, suggesting the lightning did not originate in a storm. The glow is also a mystery; similar lights have been spotted from squid-fishing-boats, but van Heijst says this ‘would not make sense in this area’. ‘The closer we got, the more intense the glow became, illuminating the clouds and sky below us in a scary orange glow, in a part of the world where there was supposed to be nothing but water,’ he continued. ‘The only cause of this red glow that we could think of, was the explosion of a huge volcano just underneath the surface of the ocean, about 30 minutes before we overflew that exact position.’ He was then nervous of encountering an ash-plume in the middle of the night, but fortunately they did not encounter anything of the sort. Before the flight they had heard via radio about earthquakes in Iceland, Chile and San Francisco. But despite their being a few volcanoes on their route, they had had not been alerted to any new activity - although this doesn't necessarily include unseen underwater volcanoes.

Former CIA Director on Spending at the American Stock Exchange Investors Conference (1987)
Stansfield M. Turner (born December 1, 1923) is a retired United States Navy admiral and former Director of Central Intelligence and President of the Naval War College. He is currently a senior research scholar at the University of Maryland, College Park School of Public Policy.
Under Turner's direction, the CIA emphasized technical intelligence (TECHINT) and signal intelligence (SIGINT) more than Human intelligence (HUMINT). In 1979, Turner eliminated over 800 operational positions in what was called the Halloween Massacre.[2] In a biography published in 2005, Turner expressed regret for the dismissals stating, "In retrospect, I probably should not have effected the reductions of 820 positions at all, and certainly not the last 17."[3] Turner gave notable testimony to Congress revealing much of the extent of the MKULTRA program, which the CIA ran from the early 1950s to late 1960s. Reform and simplification of the intelligence community's multilayered secrecy system was one of Turner's significant initiatives, but produced no results by the time he left office.
During Turner's term as head of the CIA, he became outraged when former agent Frank Snepp published a book called Decent Interval which exposed incompetence among senior U.S. government personnel during the fall of Saigon. Turner accused Snepp of breaking the secrecy agreement required of all CIA agents, and then later was forced to admit under cross-examination that he had never read the agreement signed by Snepp.[4] Regardless, the CIA ultimately won its case against Snepp at the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court forced Snepp to turn over all his profits from Decent Interval and to seek preclearance of any future writings about intelligence work for the rest of his life. The ultimate irony was that the CIA would later rely on the Snepp legal precedent in forcing Turner to seek preclearance of his own memoirs, which were highly critical of President Ronald Reagan's policies.[5]
During his tenure as Director of Central Intelligence in the early 1980s when asked on an NPR interview program about 'domestic spying', he said, "Americans are not a source of much intelligence."
In the documentary Secrets of the CIA Turner commented on the MK ULTRA project, saying, "it came to my attention early in my tenure as director, and I felt it was a warning sign that if you're not alert, things can go wrong in this organization."
On March 12, 1980, President Jimmy Carter and Turner presented Antonio J. Mendez (also known as Tony Mendez) with the CIA's Intelligence Star for his role in the exfiltration of six U.S. State Department personnel from Iran on 28 January 1980.
Upon leaving the agency, Turner became a lecturer, writer, and TV commentator, and served on the Board of Directors of several American corporations. Turner served as a member of the Graduate School of Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island's Marine Advisory Council. Turner has written several books, including Secrecy and Democracy -- The CIA in Transition in 1985, 'Terrorism and Democracy' in 1991, Caging the Nuclear Genie -- An American Challenge for Global Security in 1997 (a revised edition of which was published in 1999), and 2005's Burn Before Reading: Presidents, CIA Directors, and Secret Intelligence, in which he advocates fragmenting the CIA.
Turner has been sharply critical of the Bush administration's handling of the 2003 Invasion of Iraq. In September 2003 he wrote that "most of the assumptions behind our invasion have been proven wrong: The intelligence did not support the imminence of a threat, the Iraqis have not broadly welcomed us as liberators, the idea that we could manage this action almost unilaterally is giving way to pleas for troops and money from other nations, the aversion to giving the U.N. a meaningful role is eroding daily, and the reluctance to get involved in nation building is being supplanted by just that." [2]
In November 2005, after Vice President Dick Cheney had lobbied against a provision to a defence Bill that Republican Senator John McCain had passed in the senate banning "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment" of all U.S. detainees, Turner was quoted as saying "I am embarrassed that the USA has a vice president for torture. I think it is just reprehensible. He [Dick Cheney] advocates torture, what else is it? I just don't understand how a man in that position can take such a stance." Cheney countered the bill went well beyond banning torture and could be interpreted by courts to ban most forms of interrogation.
Turner has served on the Military Advisors Committee for the Business Leaders for Sensible Priorities, whose mission is to reduce the amount of the discretionary budget going to the military by 15% and reallocate that money to education, healthcare, renewable energies, job training, and humanitarian aid programs.

If Ebola is Killing Medical Staff how will the Public Survive?
If hundreds of doctors and nurses are becoming infected with Ebola, what chance is the general public going to have? 240 health workers have contracted the virus and more than 120 of them have died, more than 2,600 people have been infected with Ebola since this outbreak began and more than 1,400 people have died. This virus continues to spread at an exponential rate, and now we have learned that there are confirmed cases of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Why are Sinkholes appearing in Siberia ?
Why are there giant craters in Siberia? Several gaping craters recently appeared in the Yamal Peninsula of Siberia -- but what created them?
Whatever was in there, clearly exploded OUT. Could be that there was methane gas in the ice, something melted it, it caved in, then the compression of the methane gas caused it to spontaneously combust, creating the explosive crater that we see.

Ivan Eland Senior Fellow and Director, Center on Peace and Liberty joined us today to discuss the ISIS situation in the Iraq. After the beheading of reporter James Foley, one has to wonder what action the US will take next. ISIS is clearly losing more friends than it's making, but the call to act is getting louder in the Halls of Congress and elsewhere around the Country. Will Obama just keep efforts where they are now or will he up the ante?

Aliens in Ancient Egypt - Xaviant Haze
S y n o p s i s
The alien influences behind the rise and fall of Egypt’s Golden Age
• Explains how Akhenaten was the last pharaoh entrusted with the sacred and ancient alien knowledge of stargates, free energy, and antigravity technologies
• Reveals how the Brotherhood of the Snake, a secret society of reptilian aliens, sought to destroy Akhenaten and suppress the sacred knowledge of the pharaohs
• Explores the original purpose of the pyramids--to transmit energy to expand consciousness--and how they were decommissioned after the Great Flood
The sophisticated civilization of ancient Egypt arose seemingly overnight, complete with advanced levels of art, agriculture, astronomy, and physics. Then, with the death of Pharaoh Akhenaten, much of this higher knowledge was lost--or suppressed. But evidence of this former Golden Age, the alien visitors behind its rise, and those behind its decline still exists--some of it in plain sight.
Examining the purposefully obscured reign of Akhenaten and Nefertiti, Xaviant Haze explains how they represent the last dynasty with access to the sacred knowledge of stargates, free energy, and antigravity technologies, knowledge handed down from an advanced interstellar race in the remote past. He reveals how the reptilian race known as the Shemsu Hor infiltrated the Egyptian priesthood and banking systems and formed the Brotherhood of the Snake--a secret society set on destroying Akhenaten’s flourishing kingdom and suppressing the sacred knowledge of the pharaohs.
Haze examines the evidence of aliens in ancient Egypt, such as the reptilian beings depicted in the Temple of Hathor and Thutmose III’s alien encounter. He shows how Akhenaten and his family are always portrayed with elongated skulls and explores the connection between ancient aliens and Mars, including the Martian materials used in Egyptian monuments. He explains the original purpose of the pyramids--to transmit uplifting energy throughout the planet to help expand consciousness--and explores how they were decommissioned after the Great Flood of prehistory. He reveals how the original builders of the pyramids foresaw humanity’s fall from the Golden Age and strategically encoded these magnificent structures to wake humanity from the depths of the Dark Ages.

Annunaki of Nibiru, Todays New World Order ? -- Gerald Clark
Gerald Clark on his book The Anunnaki of Nibiru: Mankind's Forgotten Creators, Enslavers, Saviors, and Hidden Architects of the New World Order.
Many historical and scriptural findings not included in the Canonical Bible, have now come to light. Access to texts such as the Lost Book of Enoch, the Nag Hamadi Gospels, and the Book of Jubilees, among others is now widely available and, when synthesized and correlated with existing documents like the Bible and Qu'ran, merits rethinking Western civilization's origins and intent.
Prepare yourself for a profound belief-challenging journey through ancient Persia, Sumer, Greece, and Atlantis; from Rome to the United States, HQ of the New Atlantis.
U.S. public school history ignores the Sumerians, although they are credited with all aspects of modern civilization, influencing both Egypt and Greece alike. Television series produced by the History Channel, like the "Ancient Aliens" Series is assisting the masses in waking up to the fact that the Anunnaki were not a myth, having left physical documents and artifacts backing up their claims to have created mankind, described in highly sophisticated language, as recorded by Atrahasis.
It was in South Africa, where the idea was spawned to create a primitive worker, namely mankind, to operate the gold mines, provide temple building manpower, and generally serve every whim the Ancient Astronauts from Nibiru conceived of. Many of the Niburians, referenced in the Biblical Genesis as the Elohim, known to the Sumerians as the Anunnaki, were enthroned as Gods in Mesopotamia.

3 Absurd Reasons for Banning Drugs
Did you know the war on drugs is founded on racist principles? Prof.
Stephen Davies shows the historical thought process behind banning
drugs. One of the main reasons drugs were banned initially is because
people were concerned drug use would lead to interracial relationships.
Can you imagine someone making that argument today? Yet it was a
principle reason for some of the laws banning drugs that we still have.
Other reasons for banning drugs included fear of conspiracies and the
misguided notion that the government somehow has a right to the
productivity of its citizens. All three of these reasons are truly
absurd, but all three were historically used as arguments that
contributed to the war on drugs. If these are the arguments on which the
drug war is founded, can we be sure it's a war worth fighting for?

US conducted biological tests in Japan's Okinawa Islands in 1960s
The US military has reportedly conducted field experiments of biological
weapons in the Japanese island of Okinawa in the early 1960s.
A Japanese news agency has said such tests were conducted at least a dozen times between 1961 and 1962. It added that Washington released rice-blast fungus over paddy-fields. The report says the US is believed to have had China and Southeast Asia in mind while developing such crop-harming agents. The fungus is estimated to destroy enough rice to feed 60 million people each year. Okinawa was under US rule until 1972 following World War Two. The United States is currently operating a military base on the island.

Marijuana Sales Booming in Colorado
Just one week after cannabis was legalized for recreational use in Colorado, USA, sales have exceeded 5 million U.S. dollars.
Full Story:
Just one week after marijuana was legalized for recreational use in the U.S. state of Colorado, sales have exceeded five-million dollars.
The National Cannabis Industry Association says around 100-thousand buyers have visited marijuana shops, since the landmark legislation came into effect on January 1.
Employee at cannabis shop "Medicine Man", Elan Nelson, says a "vast demographic" of people have visited the store.
[Elan Nelson, Cannabis Shop Employee]:
"This really has been non-stop. No time to take a breath."
Many stores say they have already begun selling out.
Some shops, like 3D Discreet Dispensary, shut down for a couple of days to re-stock, but are now open again.
[Mason Tvert, Cannabis Industry Spokesman]:
"Generally, these businesses are very good at ensuring they constantly have product available. The ones that are doing it right are having new product available every single day, they're just constantly producing. So I don't think it's going to be too much of an issue."

How LBJ Killed JFK: Money, Attorneys, and the Kennedy Assassination Conspiracy Theory (2003)
Oliver Barr McClellan, entrepreneur, counsel and author, born in 1939 in
Cuero (aka Rawhide), Texas, became widely known by his 2003 book Blood,
Money & Power on the Kennedy assassination. He has also written on
globalization.
McClellan published Blood, Money & Power: How LBJ Killed JFK, which became a best-seller in November 2003. In the book, McClellan presents the theory that Lyndon B. Johnson and Austin attorney Edward A. Clark were involved in the planning and cover-up of the Kennedy assassination. McClellan also names Malcolm "Mac" Wallace as one of the assassins. The book includes allegations surrounding the theft of the 1948 Senate election,[1] an Austin murder by Wallace, and a belated grand jury action regarding Johnson in another murder by Wallace. The killing of Kennedy, McClellan alleges, was paid for by oil millionaires, including Clint Murchison, Sr. and H. L. Hunt. McClellan purports that Clark got $6 million for this work, including a $2 million bonus. McClellan notes the conspiracy background disclosed in the book shows how some power lawyers abuse the legal and political systems. Extensive citations are in the book. French journalist William Reymond published a book the same year in which he claims that Cliff Carter and Malcolm Wallace were key to helping plot the murder of JFK. McClellan's book has been translated into Japanese. McClellan is completing the sequel to his first book, which purportedly will disclose what he alleges to be a continuing cover-up, as well as new insights into the Kennedy family.
After McClellan repeated his allegations against Johnson in the documentary The Men Who Killed Kennedy, broadcast on The History Channel on November 18, 2003,[2] former presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter protested, and former LBJ staffers Bill Moyers and Jack Valenti asked The History Channel to investigate the charges. On April 2, 2004, after having three historians examine the charges, The History Channel issued a press release stating that the claim of LBJ's complicity "is entirely unfounded and does not hold up to scrutiny.... [The show] fell short of the high standards that the network sets for itself. The History Channel apologizes to its viewers and to Mrs. [Lady Bird] Johnson and her family for airing the show."[3]
In addition to disclosing the many motivations for Johnson, McClellan states that the assassination of Kennedy allowed the oil depletion allowance to be kept at 27.5 percent. It remained unchanged during the Johnson presidency. According to McClellan this resulted in a saving of over 100 million dollars to the American oil industry. In 1970, during President Richard Nixon's term, the oil depletion allowance dropped to 15 percent. It was not until the arrival of President Jimmy Carter that the oil depletion allowance was removed.

Major chemical leak causing panic in West Virginia
Thousands of gallons of dangerous chemicals have been leaking from a
facility managed by Freedom Industries in Charleston, West Virginia, and
hundreds of thousands of people in the vicinity are being impacted as a
result. The governor has declared a state of emergency in nine counties
there, and federal agencies have since been dispatched to help make
sense of the accident. RT's Meghan Lopez reports live from West Virginia
to weigh in on the status of the chemical leak hours after it was first
discovered.

Mars Mission / Brain & Afterlife ~ Coast To Coast Am - January 8 2014
Coast To Coast Am - January 8 2014 - Mars Mission / Brain & Afterlife
Guests: Ken Johnston, Matthew Alper
In the first half, Ken Johnston, a former NASA Data and Photo Control Department manager, talked about his bid to go to Mars as a participant in the Mars One program (run by a not-for-profit foundation that believes it can send people to the Red Planet much cheaper than NASA). So far in the process, he has moved into Round 2-- a group of 1,058 people under consideration, selected out of an initial group of over 200,000 applicants. His next step is to submit to psychological and physiological tests, and then face-to-face interviews. In Round 3, the field will be narrowed down to 100-200 candidates, who'll then become employees of Mars One and begin their training-- an 8 year process (the mission is slated to depart in 2022).
In 2018, Mars One proposes to send a communication satellite to orbit above the chosen landing site, and then 4-5 unmanned launches carrying various equipment such as rovers, and habitats that the team will need once they've arrived. The plan, Johnston explained, will be to send 10 teams of 4 astronauts each (two males/two females) at two-year intervals, with the first team setting up the initial space, and inflatable greenhouses. While it's envisioned that this will be a one-way trip (Johnston's wife of 30 years supports his decision to participate), the teams will be able to remain in constant contact with Earth, and conduct scientific missions.

How to Fix the Economic Recession: Financial Crisis Explained, Background - Paul Krugman (2009)
Governments have attempted to eliminate or mitigate financial crises by
regulating the financial sector. One major goal of regulation is
transparency: making institutions' financial situations publicly known
by requiring regular reporting under standardized accounting procedures.
Another goal of regulation is making sure institutions have sufficient
assets to meet their contractual obligations, through reserve
requirements, capital requirements, and other limits on leverage.
Some financial crises have been blamed on insufficient regulation, and have led to changes in regulation in order to avoid a repeat. For example, the former Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, has blamed the financial crisis of 2008 on 'regulatory failure to guard against excessive risk-taking in the financial system, especially in the US'.[26] Likewise, the New York Times singled out the deregulation of credit default swaps as a cause of the crisis.[27]
However, excessive regulation has also been cited as a possible cause of financial crises. In particular, the Basel II Accord has been criticized for requiring banks to increase their capital when risks rise, which might cause them to decrease lending precisely when capital is scarce, potentially aggravating a financial crisis.[28]
International regulatory convergence has been interpreted in terms of regulatory herding, deepening market herding (discussed above) and so increasing systemic risk.[29] From this perspective, maintaining diverse regulatory regimes would be a safeguard.
Fraud has played a role in the collapse of some financial institutions, when companies have attracted depositors with misleading claims about their investment strategies, or have embezzled the resulting income. Examples include Charles Ponzi's scam in early 20th century Boston, the collapse of the MMM investment fund in Russia in 1994, the scams that led to the Albanian Lottery Uprising of 1997, and the collapse of Madoff Investment Securities in 2008.
Many rogue traders that have caused large losses at financial institutions have been accused of acting fraudulently in order to hide their trades. Fraud in mortgage financing has also been cited as one possible cause of the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis; government officials stated on September 23, 2008 that the FBI was looking into possible fraud by mortgage financing companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers, and insurer American International Group.[30] Likewise it has been argued that many financial companies failed in the recent crisis because their managers failed to carry out their fiduciary duties.

Fukushima Radioactive water causes concern
The Tokyo Electric Power Company is still struggling to contain the
Fukushima nuclear disaster that was touched off by the 2011 earthquake
and tsunami in Japan. This autumn, the power company admitted that
contaminated groundwater was flowing into the Pacific Ocean at a volume
of one Olympic-sized swimming pool every week.A map that shows radiation
from the Fukushima plant spreading throughout the Pacific has been
circulating on social media. But US officials have said there is no
evidence of unsafe fish in the American food supply chain. The effects
of the radiation that has been released into the air and water may never
truly be known.Al Jazeera's Michael Okwu reports from Fukushima, Japan.
Cop Killer News Story Esoteric Code = Babylon Falling
Rev 18
2 Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

Are Crack Laws Racist? Racial Bias in Cocaine Laws (1993)
The illegal drug trade is created by outlawing and restricting a good or
service, therefore, the mandate and legislative authority of the DEA is
the primary cause of illegal drug trading and its surrounding violence.
The enforcement of federal drug policy removes every 'drug' scheduled
for DEA enforcement from the protection of the open market
infrastructure, where information and commerce mutually exchanged from
consenting parties are free and protected by free information,
contractual obligations, property rights, and disputes resolution are
adjudicated under the rule of law. With the removal of the protection
under the rule of law; this subjects the good in question into a
marketplace of coercion. Mutual exchange is subject to property rights
violations by coercion through monopoly of force. It is this type of
legal environment, which is known as a black market, the underground
nature of these marketplaces makes legal enforcement of disclosure
requirements and contractual obligations impossible. With both secrecy
and lack of legal contractual obligations, grievances are no longer
recognized under the law. With no possibility for legal redress, the
participants who wish to engage in commerce may only enforce contractual
agreements directly.
The difficulty of direct enforcement in the black market creates a demand for an alternative arbitrator to handle disputes. An arbitrator's desirability is measured by its enforcement capability and legitimacy within the black market. This legitimacy is based on reputation and recognition. Thus, competing arbitrators in black markets attempt to gain reputability through organization. As competing arbitrators attempt to increase their reputation by expanding the territory over which they operate they often bribe or blackmail members of the legal and law enforcement systems in order to continue operation without legal harassment. Since these arbitrator organizations are not legally recognized, organizations materialize in the form of street gangs or organised crime. The DEA essentially cites the arbitrators' means of enforcement, which usually take the form of intimidation, violence and/or kidnapping, as the primary byproduct of the good being exchanged, justifying continued measures to hunt sellers and buyers. Despite criticism for forcing participants into black markets and driving the violence surrounding drug trade by targeting all buyers and sellers, the DEA's position is that the very transaction is the cause of violence, and has repeated on various occasions to have been successful at preventing violence and creating a safer marketplace.
In 2005, the DEA seized a reported $1.4 billion in drug trade related assets and $477 million worth of drugs.[20] According to the White House's Office of Drug Control Policy, the total value of all of the drugs sold in the U.S. is as much as $64 billion a year,[21] giving the DEA an efficiency rate of less than 1% at intercepting the flow of drugs into and within the U.S. Critics of this theory (including recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, Milton Friedman, prior to his death a member of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition) point out that demand for illegal drugs is inelastic; the people who are buying drugs will continue to buy them with little regard to price, often turning to crime to support expensive drug habits when the drug prices rise. One recent study showed that the price of cocaine and methamphetamine is the highest it has ever been while the quality of both is at its lowest point ever.[22] This is contrary to a collection of data done by the Office of National Drug Control Policy, which states that purity of street drugs has increased, while price has decreased.[23][24][25] In contrast to the statistics presented by the DEA, the United States Department of Justice released data in 2003 showing that purity of methamphetamine was on the rise.[26]
