The Alex Jones Show - April 12, 2013
Date: 04/12/2013
On the Friday, April 12 broadcast of the Alex Jones Show, Alex breaks down how the U.S. helped North Korea attain the means to develop a nuclear arsenal. He also explains how the nuke strike threat may be a clever distraction keeping us from focusing on the accelerating disintegration of liberties at home, and how it can ultimately be used to usher in World War 3. Alex will also analyze how senators weren't allowed to read SB 49 prior to cloture, and how DARPA is helping develop robots that 'think' like a human brain. On the show today, Alex welcomes prime time anchor at WXIX Fox 19 in Cincinnati and investigative journalist Ben Swann to discuss his courageous work in questioning and exposing controversial news items.

The Great Gold vs Bitcoin Debate: Casey vs Matonis

Doug Casey of Casey Research (www.caseyresearch.com/) debates e-money researcher (themonetaryfuture.blogspot.co.uk/) and "crypto economist" Jon Matonis on the virtues -- or otherwise -- of Bitcoin, and how it compares to gold as a form of money.

Casey, a Bitcoin sceptic, notes that Bitcoin satisfies Aristotle's definition of what constitutes "good" money in all but one important aspect: that it doesn't have value in any kind of non-monetary sense, unrelated to its use as a medium of exchange. This is in contrast to precious metals, which have unique chemical properties and uses in an industrial context.

Matonis argues that this is unimportant set against Bitcoin's strengths: notably the ease of transacting in them and its decentralised nature, meaning that there is no central point of attack for its enemies (whoever they may be). He also points out that -- unlike gold -- physical confiscation of Bitcoin, a la FDR in 1933, is for obvious reasons impossible.

Former North Korea Spy Believes WAR Will Break Out

Frm. North Korea Spy Believes WAR Will Break Out

If a country doesn’t want to get its hands dirty they put the capability to do something in the hands of another country. North Korea has had help from more capable countries than their own pathetic scientists and engineers. Super powers don’t like going at it headon unless they have a sneak attack or killer advantage. Imagine giving Korea a superior nuclear warhead masquerading as a joke to slip by the American’s defences and cause harm in so many ways none the least confidence in the American’s abilities to protect. Of course North Korea pays the ultimate price with the true manipulator sitting in the background capitalizing on the situation.

North Korea to Japan: YOU FIRST!

(FoxNews) North Korea reportedly warned Japan that Tokyo would be the first target if Pyongyang decides to play its nuclear card.
The warning reportedly is in response to Tokyo's standing orders to destroy any missile heading toward Japan, according to Korean Central News Agency. Japan has deployed PAC-3 missile interceptor units around Tokyo to protect its capital and is taking North Korea's rhetoric seriously.
"We are doing all we can to protect the safety of our nation," chief Cabinet spokesman Yoshihide Suga said, though he and Ministry of Defense officials refused to confirm the reports about the naval alert, saying they do not want to "show their cards" to North Korea.
Japanese officials long have feared that North Korea not only has the means but several potential motives for launching an attack on Tokyo or major U.S. military installations on Japan's main island.
"If Kim Jong Un decides to launch a missile, whether it's across the Sea of Japan or some other direction, he will be choosing willfully to ignore the entire international community," U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters in South Korea. "And it will be a provocation and unwanted act that will raise people's temperatures."
"We will stand with South Korea and Japan against these threats. And we will defend ourselves," he said.
Kerry also weighed in on an intelligence report that rocked Washington on Thursday and suggested that North Korea now had the knowhow to arm a ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead -- even if the weapons would lack reliability. Citing the Pentagon's assessment, Kerry rejected the finding and said that Pyongyang still hadn't developed or fully tested the nuclear capacities needed for such a step.
Speaking beside Kerry, South Korea Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se called for more United Nations action against Pyongyang if it commits another provocation.
He refused to comment specifically on the U.S. intelligence report, saying only that the North has "high nuclear and missile capabilities" but that it is still some time away from a nuclear bomb that is "small, light and diversified."
Kerry offered strong words of solidarity for South Korea, and praised South Korea President Park Geun-hye's "bright vision" of a prosperous and reunified Korean Peninsula without nuclear weapons. By contrast, he said North Korea's Kim, has a choice to make between provocation and returning to talks to de-escalate tension and lead to the end of its nuclear program
Both Yun and Kerry kept the door open for future negotiations with Pyongyang.
But both seemed to suggest that they were unlikely in light of the North's increasingly bombastic threats, including nuclear strikes on the United States. Most experts say those are unfeasible based on the North's current capacity and would never be explored seriously because the U.S. response would be overwhelming against a regime focused primarily on survival.
Kerry said any talks with North Korea have to lead toward denuclearization.
They have to be really serious," Kerry said. "No one is going to talk for the sake of talking and no one is going to play this round-robin game that gets repeated every few years, which is both unnecessary and dangerous."

"ACCIDENTALLY REVEALED" North Korea Now Has The Ability To Deliver A Nuclear Warhead!

"ACCIDENTALLY REVEALED" North Korea Now Has The Ability To Deliver A Nuclear Warhead!

A confidential source has posted at THE FOREIGN DESK on that debunks a lot of what the US media is saying about North Korea. First, the border is still open to cross-border workers, second, the South Korean military is not on alert. There has been no increase in military preparedness in SK. Third, North and South Korean diplomats are still meeting on a regular basis regarding trade, cross-border workers, etc. Every time the US govt wants to spread disinfo they always “leak a secret document”, this time form the almighty Pentagon? Everyone believes it because it is a “secret leaked document” so therefore it must be true. I don’t believe there is any “leaked” secret document at all. This is more govt disinfo to spread fear and justify more carnage.

How To Survive the Next Four Years Part 1 Lindsey Williams

Pastor Lindsey Williams, who has been an ordained Baptist minister for 28 years, went to Alaska in 1971 as a missionary. The Transalaska oil pipeline began its construction phase in 1974, and because of Mr. Williams' love for his country and concern for the spiritual welfare of the "pipeliners,&quot ; he volunteered to serve as Chaplain on the pipeline, with the subsequent full support of the Alyeska Pipeline Company. Because of the executive status accorded to him as Chaplain, he was given access to information documented in his eye opening book, The Energy Non-Crisis.
After numerous public speaking engagements in the western states, certain government officials and concerned individuals urged Mr. Williams to put into print what he saw and heard, stating that they felt this information was vital to national security. Mr. Williams firmly believes that whoever controls energy controls the economy. Thus, The Energy Non-Crisis.

ALERT: North Korean Has Launchable Nuclear Warheads which Fit on the Ballistic Missiles

ALERT: North Korean Has Launchable Nuclear Warheads which Fit on the Ballistic Missiles



North Korea's nuclear warheads fit on a missile, official says
WASHINGTON -- A U.S. intelligence agency has concluded that North Korea has developed nuclear warheads small enough to fit on a ballistic missile, a congressman disclosed Thursday.
At a House armed services committee hearing focused on the budget, Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.) read from what he said was an unclassified portion of a classified Defense Intelligence Agency study that states, "DIA assesses with moderate confidence the North currently has nuclear weapons capable of delivery by ballistic missiles. However, the reliability will be low."
Although U.S. experts believe North Korean missiles are not capable of hitting the U.S. mainland, the notion that the regime had achieved a significant leap in weapons technology would be deeply disconcerting for U.S. policymakers. It was not immediately known whether the CIA and other U.S. agencies agree with the DIA, an intelligence arm at the Pentagon.
Lamborn said the DIA study was completed last month but the conclusion had not been made public.
The Pentagon announced last month that it plans to augment missile defense systems in Alaska in response to the North Korean threat. It also said it will deploy another antimissile system to Guam, which is in range of North Korean missiles.
Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, declined to answer Lamborn's question about the report in the public hearing.
At a different congressional hearing Thursday, James R. Clapper, the director of national intelligence, sought to downplay the recent tension with North Korea. He said the tension was higher in previous episodes in his career, including when the North Koreans seized a Navy spy ship in 1968 and detained its crew. They ultimately were released but the ship, the Pueblo, remains in Pyongyang.
Clapper said there is uncertainty regarding North Korea's young leader, Kim Jong Un.
"We don't have good detail on the inner sanctum," he said. "There's no telling how he's going to behave. He impresses me as impetuous, [and] not as inhibited as his father became about taking aggressive action."

BREAKING Obama wants to kill Christians along with DHS ~ Glenn Beck

Ever since the American public began to understand the scope of US drone operations abroad, questions have continued to add up. But weeks after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) waged a marathon filibuster to examine the use of unmanned aerial vehicles most of these questions remain unanswered. President Barack Obama says his targeted kill program is "Serious and not speculative," but a recent report published my McClatchy makes a whole other argument. According to the paper, the scope of the US drone program being conducted abroad is much larger than the White House claims, and it's not just high-profile targets like al-Qaeda members and their affiliates that are being killed: it's civilians and anyone else within strike. Stephen Miles, coalition coordinator of Win Without War, joins RT's Meghan Lopez to discuss

North Korea May Put Nuclear on Missiles and Launch around 15th of April

(CNN) -- A study just completed by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency says North Korea has nuclear weapons that could be delivered by ballistic missiles, a congressman said Thursday. The revelation came from Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colorado, during a House Intelligence Committee hearing.

North Korea Can Put A Nuke on a Missile, U.S. Intelligence Agency Believes
South Korea continues to be on high alert, saying North Korea could launch a missile by around April 15th, the birthday of the country's late founder Kim Il Sung.
The Defense Intelligence Agency has concluded with "moderate confidence" that North Korea might be capable of placing a nuclear weapon small enough that could be delivered by a ballistic missile. The DIA also says that if that is the case, the reliability of the missile would be low.

Judge Napolitano On IRS E-Mail Snooping Without Warrants: Stay Out Of Our Stuff!

Napolitano and Shep Smith Take On IRS E-Mail Snooping Without Warrants: 'Stay Out Of Our Stuff!'


4/11/13 - With Tax Day less than a week away, Fox News reported this afternoon on the American Civil Liberties Union obtaining IRS documents via the Freedom of Information Act that show the federal tax collection agency routinely searches Americans' emails, possibly in violation of the Fourth Amendment's prohibition on unreasonable search and seizures.

Reporter Jonathan Hunt noted to host Shepard Smith that the controversy over the Internal Revenue Service's practices largely stems from the fact that the agency uses an "administrative summons" to decide to search an email without a search warrant or any form of court order.

Fox judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano clarified the controversy to a "confused" Smith, explaining that the IRS intends to use this surveillance technique only for investigating criminal fraud, which makes up "a very, very, very tiny percentage of taxpayers." However, he noted, many of the e-mails read and collected will never make it to a court case; and the ones that do would likely be questioned by a judge who wondered how the evidence was obtained without any form of court order or warrant permitting a search of private e-email exchanges.

"How is that consistent with the Fourth Amendment?" the judge hypothetically asked. "You didn't come to me and ask for a search warrant — you just took it."

Smith then lamented that there are "so many more instances of elements of the government or authority figures in this country getting into our stuff."

"Stay out of our stuff," he said to an agreeing Napolitano.

"What the ACLU — in my view, quite properly — wants to know [from the IRS] is: Are you following your own regulations which tell you how to get around the Fourth Amendment or are you following the Fourth Amendment?" the judge said. "They have not yet answered that question."

"What happens next: Anybody they suspect of cheating, they just drone them," Smith joked to end the segment.

How Bitcoin Will End the Nation State - Jeffrey Tucker

As the European banking and currency crisis unfolds, the emerging digital currency has rapidly become a refuge for people fleeing from the euro and seeking to protect their savings and assets from confiscation.

In Cyprus, where thousands of businessmen have seen nearly all of their operating capital siphoned from their accounts, Bitcoin ATMs have suddenly appeared. Investors and businessmen in Spain and other countries that may soon fall prey to the "Cyprus Model" are likewise fleeing to the bitcoin.

Some analysts believe that Bitcoin, which allows for unmediated fund transfers between individuals, poses a potentially lethal threat to conventional banking. It is certainly exposing the weakness of the world's incumbent reserve currency, the US dollar.

As of April 2, it took 115 U.S. dollars to purchase a single Bitcoin. Is this a speculative bubble? After all, Bitcoin is a virtual currency without precedent in human history.

Does Bitcoin offer promise, or peril? We'll examine this issue with economic analyst Jeffrey Tucker. Mr. Tucker is the head of Lassiez-Faire Books. He is the author of "It's a Jetson's World: Private Miracles and Public Crimes" and "A Beautiful Anarchy: How to Create Your Own Civilization in the Digital Age."

Turan (Tim) Rifat was born in Brighton in 1957. He has a university science degree and another in education. Whilst doing his Ph.D., the author decided he’d had enough of mechanistic science, so for the past 15 years he has been researching the paranormal, with the aim of developing its physics, as well as carrying out numerous workshops on healing and personal development. His research task took rather longer than imagined, and led to some unfortunate confrontations with ‘evil’ forces-MI5 being the least of these. Recently, he set up Paranormal Management Systems (PMS), the only company in Europe with expertise in biophysical RMCT that can come close to what the Russians have developed and which outstrips the US knowledge base in the biophysical area. PMS evaluates this military-domain RMCT material and develops it in terms of its applications for business in enhancing profitability and performance. Turan Rifat offers courses and consultancy in the RV/RI field. He is currently writing a book, Remote Viewing: The Story of the Real X-Files, and is planning to follow up this article with one on ESP and telepathy, with reference also to synthetic telepathy (About the Author).

Max Keiser : Bitcoin The New Currency to Stick it to the Banks

Max Keiser on Bitcoin Currency : Abby Martin talks to Max Keiser, host of the Keiser Report, about the global economy and the growing popularity of the decentralized digital currency known as the Bitcoin.
 it has a limit. you can't cointerfeit  Bcoin, due to the energy used to make a transaction. plus Bcoin can't inflate, lose purchasing power or be diluted ergo 1BC=1BC.

Bitcoin and other digital currencies using the code of BCoin will make a decentralised plethora of currencies ie. Bcoin, Tcoin, FCoin, even Fed coin.
though because of the consensus of Bcoin, Tcoins and alt currencies will NEVER expand Bcoin AS Bcoin, the code wont register. the data can't be converted into 20+ million Bcoins

it's an asset, it's not fiat (unlimited)
there will be only 20 million in the world.
thereby Bitcoin, is like a comodity, (gold standard)
plus Bitcoin's velocity is quite fast thus because it's not a currency.
it's like metal.
