US government claims 100% ownership over all your DNA and reproductive rights

Genetic slavery is already here


(NaturalNews) The United States government claims 100% ownership over all your DNA and reproductive rights. This astonishing revelation has emerged from the fact that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office claims the power to assign ownership of your DNA to private companies and universities who apply for patents on your genes.

To date, more than 4,000 genes have been assigned ownership to corporations and universities by the U.S. patent office. Such an assignment of ownership proves that the government believes it owns 100% of all human genes -- you cannot transfer ownership of something unless you first own it yourself.

To date, 20 percent of your genetic code is owned by someone else. About two-thirds of these patents belong to private companies, and one-third belong to universities. The company that owns the most patents is called Incyte, a drug company based in California which "owns" the patents on 2,000 human genes.

Although you have never agreed to sell your body to a corporation, a multitude of corporations now claim ownership over every cell in your body. That ownership makes you a slave to their patent demands, and patent "troll" lawyers are some of the most vicious, blood-sucking demons on the planet who will threaten to drag you into a million-dollar court proceeding if you don't pay them money. Right now, at this very minute, dozens of corporations can lay claim to your body, and those claims will be 100% upheld in the U.S. court system.

America's Current Predicament

Iran develops new air defense system

Iran’s Defense Ministry and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Force have teamed up to develop a new air defense system, Press TV reports.

The new system, called Herz-9, was unveiled on Monday in a ceremony attended by Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi.

“Iran is among a few leading world countries producing such an air defense system domestically. This mobile air defense system is more advanced and capable than our previous air defense models,” the minister said, adding that the battery “can be activated within a matter of minutes.”
Vahidi said the air defense system is able to detect and track targets at low altitudes and automatically hit them.

The Iranian minister said the new achievement has been made despite international sanctions against Iran’s military sector.

They want to sanction the military parts and ban the aviation industry from selling Iran planes,” he stated.
Vahidi noted that Iran has become self-sufficient in manufacturing airplanes.

“Sanctions make us stronger,” he said.

Over the past years, Iran has made important breakthroughs in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing important military equipment and systems.

The Islamic Republic has repeatedly assured other nations, especially its neighbors, that its military might poses no threat to other countries, insisting that its defense doctrine is based on deterrence.

Caterpillar North America Sales Collapse

While we have wondered on numerous occasions previously if the collapse in lumber prices is the far more accurate indicator of end demand for housing (as confirmed by the recent collapse in multi-family housing starts), perhaps an even better indicator of trends in housing (and by implication the broader economy) is private sector intermediate end demand, such as Caterpillar North America sales, which unlike government data, are far less subject to political intervention, interpolation, guesswork, seasonal adjustments and otherwise, general manipulation.

And even though we have previously reported on the woes ailing the world's largest seller of bulldozers, excavators and wheel loaders, such focus was primarily targeted in the offshore markets, and especially China (the abysmal European market needs no mention). So maybe the time has come to shift attention to the US, where as Caterpillar just reported, not only are all foreign markets still trending at several impacted levels, but where US machine retail sales just saw the biggest tumble in three years, falling 18% Y/Y: the most since early 2010. What is more disturbing is that CAT equipment is used in far-broader economic activities than merely housing, and likely is a far more accurate indicator of true industrial end-demand than any other number cherry-picked by the government.



Whether one can extrapolate general trends in the US economy based on how Caterpiller is doing in its North American market, is an open-ended (rhetorical) question which we leave to readers.

However, maybe a far better question is whether CAT NA sales is the same true proxy for the state of the US economy, as electric consumption - that Achilles heel of Chinese economic data manipulation - is to China.

Compare and contrast the chart above, with the chart below, showing the collapse in Chinese electricity consumpion.



If the answer is yes, and if indeed both the US and Chinese economies are now operating at a true level not seen since 2010, then just how bad is the rest of the world, if somehow the US continues to be perceived as the cleanest dirty shirt while the world's fastest marginal growing economy is in fact, crashing to earth?

Urgent Warnings to America

Pastor T. D. Hale – 12/28/11

I had a dream last night: In my dream, I saw myself going across America, as if I was floating but with no fear. The land looked like it was bombed, totally destroyed. (Could this be the earthquakes we have heard about in dreams? In Revelation 8:5, there was an earthquake before the first trump of the tribulation in verse 7.)  I saw people standing out around their homes, weeping, holding onto each other; there were a few who laid dead. I heard someone say, “This should never have happened; this should never have happened.”

National destruction had hit America: no food, no water, babies crying, grownups, men all crying, holding onto their families, begging God for mercy. As I moved along the way, I saw people running, looking for loved ones missing, totally out of their minds.

I quickly came over a large city; it looked like it was Columbus, Ohio. As I came close, there it was — the riots we have all heard about. Store windows busted, grabbing what they could get but I could tell they were not too concerned about TVs iPads, etc.; they were grabbing food, water, chips, things to survive on. There were riots and fighting. I even saw one man shot to death.

As I left that place, going at the speed of light I was standing on the back side of the White House. (I heard a voice say, “Look up to the Truman balcony.”  … I did not even know it was called that until a friend contacted me.  He said, “Brother, you’re not gonna believe this; that’s what it’s called.”) I looked up and there was President Barack Obama on the balcony, holding a shotgun. I heard a loud scream, real loud.  (When the country is in pain from natural and economic disaster, will there be an overthrow of the government using martial law?)  I turned my head to see where the scream came from. Flying high in the air was an eagle — majestic, flying around Washington. I saw Barack point that shotgun toward that eagle and then shoot it dead and it fell to the ground. I looked up at him and he just had a smile on his face, a smirk. These were the words I heard: “I’ve done it and I won’t have to deal with this in my administration.” It was dead silent. At that moment, I heard a voice that said, “Tell the people this is My will; this is My hand, both upon the generation of the righteous and upon the cursed. The righteous will find their way and know what to do; the cursed will wander around with no compass. The cup is full!”

From that point on, I knew that we were coming to a showdown; it was going to be between us and them — good versus evil. I saw people gathering into some homes that were not destroyed. I saw people having prayer meetings, just praying in the Spirit.

And then I heard in the dream: “To My servants and handmaids, a special anointing will reside on you in these last days. Hold not back thy voice but speak your hearts, for out of them are the issues of life. Pick up the mantle of prayer, cover yourself with it and find you a secret place to cover My servants, who stand for truth in prayer. I see their hearts and the desires to understand and know more. Their eyes have been anointed with a special anointing to see. Others are blinded to My Word. All things will be revealed in their due course. A supernatural wave of my Spirit will come over this generation soon; the FINAL voices are in the land to speak one last time. (Through the ministries of tapes, DVDs and books that people would have in their possession, that God would give them that spiritual food to sustain them during these times that are coming upon us.)Think it not strange the happenings around you; they must and will come to pass but I have placed in your hands the food to sustain you in the months ahead. I have spoken and shown all that matter. Tell my servants, saith the Lord, there is coming harsh days ahead!”

As I stood there hearing the voice of God, I saw a table, very old as if it was a table that had many documents signed in times past of importance. I saw a voting ballot lying there. As I looked, I saw two names on that ballot: Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. It was check-marked beside Obama’s name.  (“I am 100% sure” he will be re-elected.)  I looked at the bottom of the ballot and these words were written: “For this is the will of the Lord.” Then I woke up. (I’m telling my church to just be prepared, to get their house in order and whatever they need to do for their families, do it quickly.)

11/24/12

I was immediately standing in front of the desk in the Oval Office. Standing in the Oval Office, I was in front of the President. A voice came forth and said, “Weep and howl for the misery that shall come shortly.”

There on the floor of the Oval Office was the eagle I saw him shoot back in December. He walks from behind that desk with the same smirk I saw on his face and puts his foot on the neck of the eagle. At this point, he picks it up by its head and twists it three times until his head comes off of the body.  (Decapitating the government for the sake of totalitarianism.  This could come about by martial law.)Also the Democrats denied God three times at their convention.

At that point that voice said, “The spirit of Rehoboam.” I knew what that meant and I knew it rested upon the President.  (Rehoboam forsook the Lord and all Israel with him, according to 2 Chronicles 12:1.)

The President of the United States was totally dressed in black: suit, tie, shirt, shoes, pants, etc. As I was standing in front of him, looking directly at him, all of a sudden his chest cavity began to open and his heart was exposed. As I was looking at his heart, thick, black, dark mist was swirling around his heart.

At this point he, picked up a gavel (An executive order from the President?) which was part wood and part stone. Handle was wood; head of the gavel was stone. He hit a document on the desk and when he did an earthquake hit Washington. (Earthquakes stand for judgment or shaking and division of the land or people.  Could this document include the division of Israel for a Palestinian State for which we have been warned of the Lord that America would be divided?  The UN recently gave them “Non-Member Observer State” status, which is very close to making it a State.  Update 1/27/13: Obama secretly pledges to divide Jerusalem: “Obama had promised the PA that the establishment of a Palestinian state will be one of the main priorities for a second term.”)

All of a sudden, I was standing above the White House and saw the earth open and it went toward the Washington Monument, then toward the Jefferson Memorial. (Both symbols are south of the White House. The Washington Monument is an obelisk of the type in Rome and Egypt. It is a phallic symbol and an insult to God. The city of Rome has the most obelisks in the world. There are eight ancient Egyptian and five ancient Roman obelisks there. This is a symbol of Egypt, the world, and Rome, the apostasy. Both of which will be judged in America. At the Jefferson Memorial is the Statute for Religious Freedom and Jefferson was the principle author of the Declaration of Independence, neither of which shall survive this judgment. Freedom and independence from tyrany are a gift from God Who is removing them for America’s sins.)

At that point, an odd-color rain started falling, the color of fire. (The baptism of fire, or judgment, from Heaven.  Barack means “lightning” and Obama means “from the heights” or heavens.)  It started slowly coming down and intensified little by little until the waters started rising; the starting point was Washington, D.C.

As the waters started rising, I went up a little higher into the atmosphere and saw the map of the United States. The waters left Washington and began to flood the nation. (Will an executive order from the President bring judgment upon the nation?) I saw it hit MD, WV, OH, MI, KY, IN, SC and on and on until it covered America. On the document on the desk of the President was written, “The Final Abomination.”

I began to hear screams across the nation, as if it was a mournful sound. I thought of Noah and what it must have been like for the people outside of the Ark as the flood waters came in and they knew they had not listened to Noah or the voice God gave to them to speak. The screams were as if their lives were over and there was no hope.

As I was still in the air, and I am going to try and explain this as best I can, I saw America in this state of being covered with flood waters and then, all of a sudden, I saw beams of light quickly coming out of the flood waters like a speed of light quickly going up into the air. Millions it looked like but at that moment I was taken above the earth and then I saw it around the world.  Possibly they were the prayers of the saints.

Dark, massive asteroid to fly by Earth on May 31

It's 1.7 miles long. Its surface is covered in a sticky black substance similar to the gunk at the bottom of a barbecue. If it impacted Earth it would probably result in global extinction. Good thing it is just making a flyby.

Asteroid 1998 QE2 will make its closest pass to Earth on May 31 at 1:59 p.m. PDT.

Scientists are not sure where this unusually large space rock, which was discovered 15 years ago, originated from. But the mysterious sooty substance on its surface could indicate it may be the result of a comet that flew too close to the sun, said Amy Mainzer, who tracks near-Earth objects at Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Cañada Flintridge. It might also have leaked out of the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, she said.

Syria prepared to fire missiles at Tel Aviv

Syria has put its most advanced missiles on standby with orders to hit Tel Aviv if Israel launches another strike on its territory, The Sunday Times reported overnight Sunday.

According to the British newspaper, reconnaissance satellites have been monitoring preparations by the Syrian army to deploy surface-to-surface Tishreen missiles.

An Israeli official told The New York Times that Israel, which has launched three recent attacks on Syria, was considering further strikes and warned President Bashar Assad that his government would face "crippling consequences" if he hit back at Israel.

The Sunday Times said the deployment of the Syrian-made Tishreen missiles, each of which can carry a half-ton payload, marks a significant escalation of tension "in a region in which the United States and Russia appear to be preparing for a Cold War-style stand-off."

Uzi Rubin, Israel's leading missile expert, told the newspaper that the Tishreen missiles are "extremely accurate and can cause serious harm.

"Even if they don't hit Ben-Gurion (Airport) directly, they would halt all commercial flights out of the country," he said.

An Israeli official told The New York Times last week that Israel, which has reportedly launched three attacks on Syria recently and destroyed advanced anti-aircraft and surface-to-surface missiles that were designated for Hezbollah, was considering additional strikes and warned President Assad that his regime would face "crippling consequences" if he hit back at Israel.

In a rare interview on Saturday, Assad told Argentine newspaper Clarin that Israel was supporting the Syrian opposition, which he dubbed terrorists.

"Israel is directly supporting the terrorist groups in two ways, firstly it gives them logistical support and it also tells them what sites to attack and how to attack them. For example, they attacked a radar station that is part of our anti-aircraft defenses, which can detect any plane coming from overseas, especially from Israel," the Syrian president said.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that Russia is continuing to arm Assad's regime and has sent a dozen or more warships to patrol waters near its naval base in Syria, a move that American and European officials have called aggressive, saying it was designed to warn the West and Israel not to intervene in the country's civil war.

Also on Friday, the New York Times reported that Russia has transferred to Syria advanced anti-ship cruise missiles, which threaten Israeli Navy vessels and the Jewish states gas fields located up to 300 kilometers (186 miles) from the coast.

According to the report, Russia has previously provided a version of the missiles, called Yakhonts, to Syria. But those delivered recently are outfitted with an advanced radar that makes them more effective.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Moscow's weapons sales would "not in any way alter the balance of forces in this region or give any advantage in the fight against the opposition."

North fires missiles over two days

North Korea fired a short-range guided missile off its east coast yesterday despite criticism from Seoul and Washington over the launch of three other missiles Saturday.

“Following the launches yesterday, [North Korea] fired a short-range projectile off the east coast toward the northeast of the East Sea this afternoon,” a Southern military official told the Yonhap News Agency.

On Saturday, North Korea fired three short-range missiles, the South’s Ministry of National Defense said.

“The guided missiles are not long- or intermediate-range ones, but short-range projectiles,” Kim Min-seok, South Korea’s Defense Ministry spokesman said at a briefing Saturday. “We will strengthen our surveillance posture against North Korea so that the missile launch wouldn’t lead to a military provocation.”

Kim didn’t elaborate on the exact time or place of the Saturday launches. But sources told Korean reporters that two missiles were fired at between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m., and the third at between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.

Washington denounced North Korea’s launch of three short-range guided missiles Saturday warning that Pyongyang would “achieve nothing by threats or provocations.”

Caitlin Hayden, spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council, said in a statement on Saturday, “North Korea will achieve nothing by threats or provocations, which only further isolate [it] and undermine international efforts to ensure peace and stability in northeast Asia.

“We continue to urge the North Korean leadership to heed President [Barack] Obama’s call to choose the path of peace and come into compliance with its international obligations,” she said.

South Korea’s Ministry of Unification, which is in charge of all inter-Korean business and interactions, said the missile launch was “very deplorable.”

“We think North Korea’s provocative acts, including the launch of the guided missiles, were really deplorable,” Kim Hyung-suk, spokesman of the ministry, said at a briefing yesterday. “We urge [Pyongyang] to show responsible acts toward us and the international community.”

Some of the Saturday’s three missiles were fired by 300 millimeter caliber multiple rocket launchers, a source told the JoongAng Ilbo, which are regarded as the most threatening weapon to the Southern army.

A high-ranking South Korean government official told the JoongAng Ilbo in February that Pyongyang had developed a high-end multiple rocket launcher with an extended range, from 90 kilometers to 170 kilometers (106 miles), and a higher caliber at 240 to 300 millimeters.

With the new launcher, the North Korean military can technically strike some key military spots in the South, including U.S. bases in Seoul and Pyeongtaek in Gyeonggi, and the South Korean Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps in Gyeryong Military Headquarters in South Chungcheong.

The launcher was reportedly developed with technology from China in the early 2000s. It can carry six to 12 missiles equipped with the Russian satellite navigation system called Glonass.

A government source also told Yonhap that “although we assume the projectiles were probably the KN-02 short-range missiles, we don’t rule out the possibility that they could be fired from 300-caliber rocket launchers.”

“The range of the missiles was more than 100 kilometers,” the source said. “They must be a version of KN-02 or 300 millimeter rockets.”

Earlier this month, Pyongyang reportedly removed two midrange missiles from a launch site on its east coast, raising speculation that the regime was attempting to ease military tension on the Korean Peninsula.

Moon explosion visible from Earth

(CNN) — A meteoroid struck the surface of the moon recently, causing an explosion that was visible on Earth without the aid of a telescope, NASA reported Friday. But don’t be alarmed if you didn’t see it; it only lasted about a second.

“It exploded in a flash nearly 10 times as bright as anything we’ve ever seen before,” said Bill Cooke, of NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office.

NASA astronomers have been monitoring the moon for the past eight years, looking for explosions caused by meteoroids hitting the lunar surface. It’s part of a program to find new fields of space debris that could hit Earth. NASA says it sees hundreds of detectable lunar meteoroid impacts a year.

None however can match the size of the explosion they say they saw March 17. NASA says the meteoroid was about 40 kilograms and less than a meter wide, and it hit the moon’s surface at 56,000 mph. It glowed like a 4th magnitude star, NASA says, thanks to an explosion equivalent to 5 tons of TNT.

“It jumped right out at me, it was so bright,” said Ron Suggs of the Marshall Space Flight Center.

Cooke says Earth was pelted by meteoroids at about the same time, but they hit the moon because it has no atmosphere to protect it.

“We’ll be keeping an eye out for signs of a repeat performance next year when the Earth-moon system passes through the same region of space,” Cooke said.

If you’re wondering how there can be an explosion on the moon, without oxygen, NASA has the answer for you. It says the flash of light comes not from any type of combustion — as we typically think of explosions — but rather by the glowing molten rock at the impact site.
