Angry Protestors SHUT DOWN L.A. Streets after GEORGE ZIMMERMAN Not Guilty Verdict




Trayvon Martin supporters staged a second night of protest against the George Zimmerman verdict in Oakland and Los Angeles -- blocking freeways, hurling rocks at police, smashing windows, attacking reporters and burning American flags as cops responded with "less than lethal" rounds.




Most of the rallies in major cities across the country were boisterous but largely peaceful. However, trouble flared for a second night running in Oakland where "crowds turned violent," according to ABC 7.




Bay Area News Group reporter Natalie Neysa Alund and her cameraman were attacked as protesters "had complete control of 14th and Broadway near Oakland City Hall, preventing any cars from getting through."




When the road was opened, demonstrators descended on frightened drivers who were forced to turn around and leave the area as police departed.




"Oakland police officers that had been near the corner retreated, leaving the helpless drivers without police protection. It's unclear who gave that command," states the report.




Protesters later burned an American flag after attempting to gain access to a BART station and a photographer later complained that he had also been attacked.




WIth rioters having already "left destruction in their wake" on Saturday night by smashing windows and attacking businesses in Oakland, theWashington Post reports that protesters also "began breaking windows and spray painting graffiti" last night.




South Los Angeles witnessed similar scenes, with demonstrators throwing rocks and D-cell batteries at police near the corner of Washington Boulevard and 10th Avenue. Cops responded by firing beanbag rounds.




After protesters began swarming the 10 Freeway in the Mid-City area and blocking traffic, the LAPD called a citywide tactical alert. Images show protesters blocking vehicles.




In Hollywood, riot police confronted protesters who gathered at Sunset Boulevard for an "unlawful assembly" and several arrests were made.




Meanwhile in Atlanta, a commercial building was spray-painted with the words "riot 4 Trayvon," before being covered up by a church owner.




Nationwide protests hit the US following the acquittal of George Zimmerman, with protesters burning flags, smashing police cars and shop windows. Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin, 17, out of apparent self-defense.

Michael Rivero is the webmaster of http://whatreallyhappened.com/ and host of the What Really Happened radio shows on the Republic Broadcasting Network. Formerly with NASA, Michael transitioned his image processing skills (along with a brief stint as an actor) into the then-new motion picture computer animation field and has worked on films such as "Star Trek", "The Day After Tomorrow", and has supervised visual effects on "Brainscan," "LOST", and "Hawaii Five-0." Michael has taken a sabbatical from film work to focus all his efforts on peace activism.

Al Sharpton (FBI) Ignites Race War in US!




NBC'S SHARPTON PLANS PROTESTS IN 100 CITIES
During MSNBC's 11 am hour, above a chyron that read, "More Marches, Protests Planned in Coming Days, Weeks," MSNBC anchor Al Sharpton said that he and his National Action Network are "mobilizing" protests in 100 cities. Sharpton made clear that the protests were meant to pressure the Justice Department into taking legal action against George Zimmerman:

Well, I certainly think it is going to be on those that now feel that this verdict makes a lot of people vulnerable. The reason that people in the civil rights community, including [Sharpton's] National Action Network, is talking about these hundred cities that we're mobilizing this weekend, is not just questioning a verdict but, saying a precedent is now set where the Justice Department must come in[.]

Russell Targs Remote Viewing Experiments






Writer and physicist Russell Targ discussed his involvement in creating the Remote Viewing program at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) during the Cold War, as well as various remote viewing applications and experiments. After two decades of research at SRI, they demonstrated that ordinary people visiting their laboratory could learn to accurately describe and experience what was going on at distant places, and that in fact, with practice most people can learn to "remote view."

After learning the skill from psychic Ingo Swann, he and Hal Puthoff trained a team of Army Intelligence officers in the 1970s, and under a classified program, they were given directives by the CIA to find and gather information on operational targets, particularly about the Soviets. They also looked at the Chinese, atomic bomb tests, and the American hostages in Iran. Interestingly, during this time the Russians were interested in remote behavior modification, such as getting an American leader to misspeak, but it was unknown how successful they were in that regard, he reported. While providing their findings to the government who was funding the program, Targ was also able to publish his research about the validity of ESP in peer journals, though at the time they had to keep the military involvement a secret.

A remote viewing experiment was conducted by Targ on the air. He placed an object behind him on a chair, and asked listeners to sketch what they saw in their mind on paper, without being analytical or naming it at first. It turned out to be a globe of the world placed on a tall, conical wooden pedestal, and several people emailed somewhat accurate descriptions of it before Russell announced what it was.

Biography:

Russell Targ is a physicist and author who was a pioneer in the development of the laser and laser applications. He was also co-founder of the previously secret Stanford Research Institute's investigation into psychic abilities in the 1970s and 1980s. His work in this new area, called remote viewing, was published in Nature, The Proceedings of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Proceedings of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Russell did graduate work in physics at Columbia University, and is co-author of six books dealing with the scientific investigation of psychic abilities. In 1997, he retired from Lockheed Martin Missiles & Space Co. as a senior staff scientist. He now pursues ESP research in Palo Alto, California, and is also publishing special editions of classic books in psychical research.

Wikipedia
Extrasensory perception (ESP) involves reception of information not gained through the recognized physical senses but sensed with the mind. The term was adopted by Duke University psychologist J. B. Rhine to denote psychic abilities such as telepathy, clairaudience, and clairvoyance, and their trans-temporal operation as precognition or retrocognition. ESP is also sometimes casually referred to as a sixth sense, gut instinct or hunch, which are historical English idioms. It is also sometimes referred to as intuition. The term implies acquisition of information by means external to the basic limiting assumptions of science, such as that organisms can only receive information from the past to the present.

Parapsychology is the pseudoscientific[1] study of paranormal psychic phenomena, including ESP. Parapsychologists generally regard such tests as the ganzfeld experiment as providing compelling evidence for the existence of ESP. The scientific community rejects ESP due to the absence of an evidence base, the lack of a theory which would explain ESP, and the lack of experimental techniques which can provide reliably positive results.

Top Secret Government & Military Facilities ~ Harry Helmsspoke




Author Harry Helmsspoke about top secret government installations and the types of clandestine work that go on there. While he didn't uncover direct evidence of UFO activity at Nevada's Area 51, he did find indications that a secret military spaceflight programhas been developed at this location. The program may involve a "mothership," the size of a 747 that can hold and release a smaller plane. Testing on unmanned aerial craft and next generation Stealth aircraft is also conducted there, he reported.

Wright-Patterson AFB has long been associated with recovered alien craft; its Hangar 18 has been said to house the wreckage of UFO crashes, while the "Blue Room" may hold alien bodies, he detailed. The Plum Island facility near New York City is of concern because infectious agents are tested there, and under some circumstances they might spread beyond their barriers, Helms suggested.

Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah carries out germ warfare experiments, and the anthrax that was used in the mailings to Congress in 2001, was likely intercepted from this facility, he said. Helms also touched on the development of "killer microsatellites" that can knock out orbiting satellites and disrupt communications.The US Space Command based in Colorado Springs coordinates offensive and defensive weapons that could operate in outer space, he added. During the last hour, a special "whistleblower" hotline featured several employees of governmentt. facilities sharing their accounts.

Biography:

Harry Helms is the author of over a dozen books, on mostly scientific and technical topics. They include "Computer Language Reference Guide," "Electronic Circuits Cookbook," "All About Ham Radio," "Shortwave Listening Guidebook," and his latest, Inside the Shadow Government." A former editor for such publishers as McGraw-Hill and Academic Press, he was co-founder of LLH Technology Publishing. Now a fulltime writer and publishing consultant, he has written about ham, shortwave, and pirate radio for such magazines as "Popular Communications" and "Monitoring Times." An active ham radio operator (W7HLH), Harry lives in Las Vegas.

The Book
Top Secret Tourism:
Your Travel Guide to Germ Warfare Laboratories, Clandestine Aircraft Bases and Other Places in the United States You're Not Supposed to Know About.

Here is the unseen America of government facilities and installations protected by a wall of secrecy, deception, and misinformation. It includes huge, isolated areas (some larger than the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island), along with innocuous office buildings located in the middle of major cities. This "other America" has an enormous impact on your life, but you probably have little idea of its extent, scope, and power.

This book invites you to visit this top-secret America. Listings are by state, and each facility/site entry gives its history, discusses the activities carried on there, explores various rumors, and provides maps and directions to every location.

Author Harry Helms visited and photographed a number of sites in this book. None of the intelligence here was taken from classified sources; everything was on the public record and obtained by patient digging. Since the 9/11 attacks, much of this information was removed from public dissemination. To those who think a book like this discloses vital government secrets, Helms says: "Get real. If I can find this stuff out, the Russians, Chinese, and various terrorist groups also found it out a long time before I did."

Adventurous travelers and truth-seekers will want to know how to navigate within top-secret America.

Today 07/15/2013
Racial tensions divide America
On the Monday, July 15 edition of the Alex Jones Show, Alex breaks down the predicted fallout following the verdict in the Trayvon Martin murder case, whose acquittal of defendant George Zimmerman has helped media fan the flames of racial tension and division. Angry protests have provided the Obama administration an opportunity to construct a nationwide tragedy out of the issue, and has afforded yet another grandstanding event to assault the Bill of Rights. While most Americans continue to be distracted by the divide-and-conquer and race-baiting tactics executed with expert skill, the White House is grateful attention has been diverted from their arming and training of Syrian Al-Qaeda affiliated rebels. The White House also maintains pressure on NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden for revealing surveillance secrets that were already widely in circulation at the time of the scandal. On today's show, Alex welcomes former New Jersey police detective and lead investigator for Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Cold Case Posse, Mike Zullo, to discuss new developments regarding Obama's birth certificate.

The Beginning of The 2nd American Revolution
With recent events in the United States, the possibility of a second revolutionary war to restore the Republic is becoming more and more possible every day. The constant infringement on the liberties of the citizens of the United States are becoming less and less tolerable to the population. With the United States government sticking its nose in everything from regulating our religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press and now right to keep and bear arms all under attack by the federal government and many state governments. These infringements on the liberties of the citizens of this country are beginning to wake up the populace. This requires us to prepare for other disasters besides natural.

Listen to internet radio with JasonLiosatos on Blog Talk Radio

Jason Liosatos interview with Polly Higgins, a barrister for the planet, author, and founder of the Eradicating Ecocide Global Initiative. Polly is a tremendous voice for the planet, and is dedicated to ending the ecocide that is causing such damage to the planet and ourselves. We discuss some of the great work she is doing and her great wish to end ecocide by 2020, and the urgency that those changes come to fruition, to change our current trajectory which is so dangerous to both the planet and ourselves. We talk about the importance of us all using our great gifts as artists of our future, to ensure we manifest and sculpt a more sustainable society, not only for ourselves but for the future of humanity. Polly also reminds us to connect more with ourselves through being in nature, and to remember to laugh, love, cry, and feel more joy in our hurried lives, which are often spent in buildings, which dislocate us from nature and hence ourselves.

WW3 in ACTION Israel used Turkish MILITARY base to AIRSTRIKE Syria arms depot!

WW3 in ACTION: Israel used Turkish MILITARY base to AIRSTRIKE Syria arms depot!




Israel used a Turkish military base to launch one of its recent airstrikes against Syria from the sea, a reliable source told RT. Israel has been under scrutiny since last week, when it was reported to be responsible for a July 5 depot attack in Latakia.News that Turkey assisted Israel in attacking another Muslim state could result in serious turmoil for Ankara, once the information is confirmed. "Our source is telling us that Israeli planes left a military base inside Turkey and approached Latakia from the sea to make sure that they stayed out of Syrian airspace so that they cannot become a legitimate target for the Syrian air force," RT's Paula Slier reports. In response, Turkey has denied that Israel has used its base to strike Syria. Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told the media that existing reports of the incident are"absolutely wrong" and those who spread such rumors are in "act of betrayal." "Turkey will neither be a part nor a partner of such 'attacks.' The ones who claim this want to damage Turkey's power and reputation," he added. Israel has declined RT's request for comment and refused to confirm or deny the information.The Israeli PM's office told RT that they "will not be taking part in your broadcast," while an IDF spokesperson renewed the stance that the military is "not commenting on this issue."Relations between Turkey and Israel were strained until March 2013, as a result of a flotilla incident which happened more than three years ago. In protest against Israel's refusal to apologize, Turkey expelled the Israeli ambassador and severed military ties.The two agreed to normalize their relationship after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apologized to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.Ankara has been known for its assistance to foreign-backed militants, allowing them to train on Turkish territory before infiltrating into Syria. Shortly after the July 5 airstrike, the Free Syrian Army said that rebels were not responsible for the attack, which destroyed Yakhont anti-ship missiles being stored there."It was not the FSA that targeted this," Qassem Saadeddine, FSA's Supreme Military Council spokesman told Reuters. "It is not an attack that was carried out by rebels."

RACE RIOTS ERUPT IN AMERICA

Thousands PROTEST across the US against Zimmerman VERDICT




Thousands took to streets across the US on Sunday, as protests against the acquittal of George Zimmerman entered their second day. Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch volunteer, shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in 2012.
The Justice Department said Sunday that it will restart its investigation into last year's killing to consider possible separate hate crime charges against George Zimmerman. The news follows huge public outcry and calls from civil rights leaders to reopen the inquiry. 

"Experienced federal prosecutors will determine whether the evidence reveals a prosecutable violation of any of the limited federal criminal civil rights statutes within our jurisdiction...and whether federal prosecution is appropriate in accordance with the department's policy governing successive federal prosecution following a state trial," a Justice Department spokesman said in a Sunday statement.
Massive "Justice for Trayvon" marches took place in New York City, Boston, San, Francisco, Los Angeles and other cities across America on Sunday. At least five people were arrested in New York, RT's Marina Portnaya reported. 

US President Barack Obama has called for peaceful reaction, urging Americans to respect the verdict of the jury, which cleared George Zimmerman of the murder of Trayvon Martin. 

"I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken," the president said in a statement. 

In New York City, a few thousand people marched from Union Square to Times Square. Demonstrators blocked traffic while chanting slogans. Police tried and failed to funnel the crowd into controlled lanes.
Some 500 protesters of different ethnic backgrounds took to the streets of Boston, with police describing the rally as "very orderly." 

"Morally it cannot be right, that a child cannot go about his business and go to the store," 57-year-old Maura Twomey told Reuters. "Racism is not just an issue for the black community. It's for all of us." 

Hundreds protested in San Francisco and Los Angeles, with RT's Ramon Galindo reporting that demonstrators shut down the I-10 interstate highway.
On Saturday, large spontaneous demonstrations broke out after the jury announced the not-guilty verdict. 

Demonstrators in Oakland, California smashed windows in protest. There were also reports that small fires burned throughout the city, and that a police vehicle was damaged. 

Twenty-nine-year-old Zimmerman was acquitted on Saturday of all charges relating to the fatal shooting of Martin. The former neighborhood watch volunteer could have been sentenced to life in prison for second-degree murder or up to 30 years for manslaughter if he was found guilty. 

Martin, 17, was shot over a year ago by Zimmerman, who claimed he acted in self-defense. The prosecution argued that Zimmerman was guilty of second-degree murder, stating that he racially profiled the unarmed teen and assumed he was a criminal when he saw him walking through a gated community in Sanford. They claimed that Zimmerman tracked the boy down and started the fight that led to the shooting.

Donald Trump: Zimmerman 'Not Going To Heaven Very Quickly'


Donald Trump : I Don't Disagree With Verdict But George Zimmerman 'Not Going To Heaven Very Quickly'

7/15/13 - How did we make it a whole thirty-four hours without hearing what Donald Trump thinks about the George Zimmerman verdict? Trump called in to Fox And Friends Monday morning, telling the trio of hosts that he thought Zimmerman was "no angel" and that he should high-tail it out of Florida, but that he also agreed with the verdict and questioned whether the case ever should have been brought given Florida's tough self-defense statutes. "Zimmerman is no angel," Trump said. "I didn't like the fact that Zimmerman was told to stay in his truck, don't move, and he went out and he certainly moved. But he's no angel, we know that, this is not a guy who doesn't deserve certain blame." Gretchen Carlson said it sounded as if Trump doubted the jury's acquittal. "I don't disagree with the verdict," Trump said. "I just don't think that Zimmerman is necessarily somebody who is going to heaven very quickly." "The trial perhaps should not have been brought," Trump said. "A lot of people thought at the beginning of the trial it was so strong that the case never should have been brought. The law is so strong that the jury had to really make that decision." "The law is the law," Trump averred. "The jury has ruled. The six jurors were under tremendous pressure. I will tell you, the six jurors were under tremendous pressure. I thought they may do something different just because of that pressure...I actually thought there's a possibility they may convict on manslaughter, they convict on the lesser ground, just on the basis of the potential dangers to their lives." Carlson asked what advice Trump had for Zimmerman as the "master of getting noticed," as O.J. Simpson lawyer Alan Dershowitz was recommending that Zimmerman make himself scarce. "It's good for everybody if he disappears," Trump said. "This has been really a traumatic verdict for the country. And actually hasn't been as bad as a lot of people thought it would be. Now, we're just beginning, let's see what happens. But he should disappear, for his own sake, and for the country's sake."

North Ireland Violence Flares for Second Day




Protesters in Belfast, angry over a route restriction for an Orange Order march, throw rocks and petrol bombs at riot police, who respond with water cannon.

Full Story:

Angry young men confront police in Northern Ireland on Saturday.

It's not unusual for the annual Protestant Orange Order marches in Belfast to turn violent.

The parades are a regular flashpoint for sectarian clashes.

A high profile peace deal in 1998 largely ended three decades of strife in Northern Ireland.

But Belfast is still riven with religious and nationalist tension between Protestants loyal to the British government and Catholics, many of whom favor reunification with Ireland.

The Protestant Orange Order was angered this year when authorities ruled they couldn't march a stretch of road dividing the two communities - an act seen as provocative by many in the Catholic community.

Police drafted 400 reinforcements from other parts of Britain as they battled Protestants demonstrators into the night.

More than 20 people have been arrested.
