Jesse Ventura and Judge Napolitano: Operation Northwoods, 9/11, and Wikileaks OPERATION NORTHWOODS: US PLANNED FAKE TERROR ATTACKS ON CITIZENS TO CREATE SUPPORT FOR CUBAN WAR ...In [Joint Chief's chair] Lemnitzer's view, the country would be far better off if the generals could take over. [JFK assassination legend has it some general presided over the fudgy JFK autopsy. --Mk] For those military officers who were sitting on the fence, the Kennedy administration's botched Bay of Pigs invasion was the last straw. Although no one in Congress could have known it at the time, Lemnitzer and the Joint Chiefs had quietly slipped over the edge. According to secret and long-hidden documents obtained for Body of Secrets, the Joint Chiefs of Staff drew up and approved plans for what may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the U.S. government. The idea may actually have originated with President Eisenhower in the last days of his administration. Although no such war took place, the idea was not lost on General Lemnitzer But he and his colleagues were frustrated by Kennedy's failure to authorize their plan, and angry that Castro had not provided an excuse to invade.
Stargate Project The Stargate Project[1] was the umbrella code name of one of several sub-projects established by the U.S. Federal Government to investigate claims of psychic phenomena with potential military and domestic applications, particularly "remote viewing": the purported ability to psychically "see" events, sites, or information from a great distance.[2] These projects were active from the 1970s through 1995 and were primarily handled by the CIA and DIA. They followed up early psychic research done at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), The American Society for Psychical Research, and other psychical research labs.[3] The Stargate Project was terminated in 1995 with the conclusion that it was never useful in any intelligence operation. Background[edit] Remote viewing attempts to sense unknown information about places or events.

Lake Superior nearing rare ice-over By John MyersForum News Service Posted: 02/06/2014 12:01:00 AM CST | Updated: 3 months ago DULUTH, Minn. -- A frigid winter is pushing Lake Superior toward a complete ice-over for the first time since 1996, though there's still a ways to go before you can skate from Duluth to the Soo Locks. Lake Superior had at least some ice across an estimated 91 percent of its surface as of Thursday, according to the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory. That compares with the 40-year average annual Lake Superior ice coverage for February of just 30 percent. George Leshkevich has been tracking Great Lakes ice for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory since 1973. So far, this winter has had among the most rapid ice buildups of his tenure. The widespread ice in January and early February this year "wouldn't have been anomalous back in the '70s or with some of the winters in the mid-'90s.

NSA Prism program taps in to user data of Apple, Google and others The National Security Agency has obtained direct access to the systems of Google, Facebook, Apple and other US internet giants, according to a top secret document obtained by the Guardian. The NSA access is part of a previously undisclosed program called Prism, which allows officials to collect material including search history, the content of emails, file transfers and live chats, the document says. The Guardian has verified the authenticity of the document, a 41-slide PowerPoint presentation – classified as top secret with no distribution to foreign allies – which was apparently used to train intelligence operatives on the capabilities of the program. Although the presentation claims the program is run with the assistance of the companies, all those who responded to a Guardian request for comment on Thursday denied knowledge of any such program. In a statement, Google said: "Google cares deeply about the security of our users' data. An Apple spokesman said it had "never heard" of Prism.
Lake Michigan mostly frozen with ‘shelf’ ice BY HANNAH LUTZ February 14, 2014 1:42PM In this Dec. 26, 2013 photo provided by the U.S. Coast Guard the icebreaker Mackinaw maintains a shipping lane on the St. Marys River linking Lakes Superior and Huron. It’s been so bitterly cold for so long in the Upper Midwest that the Great Lakes are almost completely covered with ice. storyidforme: 62095103 tmspicid: 22412113 fileheaderid: 10712332 Updated: March 17, 2014 11:28AM Lake Michigan looked a bit like a giant ice skating rink this week. As of Thursday, more than 80 percent of the water was frozen. But those who want to practice their triple axel on the lake should think twice. It is still unsafe to walk on, National Weather Service Meteorologist Kevin Birk said. “There have even been cases when the winds will shift, and the ice itself will move,” Birk said. Ice coverage for the five great lakes combined reached about 88 percent Thursday, according to according to the Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab.

How cold is Europe? Cold enough for the Danube River to freeze Just how extraordinary has this winter been in Europe? The Danube River has frozen, for one. Europeans have been shivering under a blanket of cold air that has sent temperatures plummeting and snows drifting. The Danube's freezing is just one of many severe winter events in the continent this year. At least four Balkan nations suspended shipping on the Danube on Feb. 14 because of heavy ice on the river, according to news reports. Keeping Europe frozen is a climate pattern called a "Russian Winter." The Danube flows through 10 countries, so precise records of its last freezing are not easy to come by. "I looked back over 20 years and found a few significant cold snaps, but I didn't find anything quite as strong as this one," Andrews told OurAmazingPlanet. On Jan. 13, 2003, the weather in Belgrade dropped to a low of minus 11 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 24 degrees Celsius). "I think that one was too short to turn the trick," Andrews said. "We're talking pretty darn cold here," Andrews said.
