CW DHS Insider: It's About to Get Very Ugly By: Doug Hagman / CanadaFreePress.com / June 7, 2013 Washington, D.C. -- Something quite unexpected happened just hours ago.

The discerning reader will understand why, which, by the way, would make a very interesting story alone. The message was extremely clear and precise. 1 "I was to come alone and make certain that I was not being followed, and I was to leave any cell phone or electronic device behind.

He wasn't calling for the end of the political union ... but the end of the economic privileges America has enjoyed since World War II. As you'll see below, many of his biggest predictions have already come true. . . We can't go on like this forever ... printing money day after day. Excerpts: "Last April. . . in a little-noticed move. . . Australia announced it was transferring 5% of its currency reserves from the U.S. dollar to the Chinese yuan. 2 "The deal was part of a broader currency agreement between the two countries that allows Australia's leading banks to handle trade settlements between the two countries without the use of the U.S. dollar as a reserve currency. "As CBS Marketwatch explained, 'The agreement does away with the need for companies and currency traders to first convert their Australian dollars or yuan into U.S. dollars.' " . . .the government says there is no inflation . . . and that continuing to print $85 billion to buy government and mortgage debt is merely 'interest-rate policy by other means.' What could go wrong? "And so. . . we race toward a day of reckoning when the Fed cannot continue to print new dollars to bail us out because our trading partners have abandoned our currency. "Of course, not every American is an economist. Most people don't understand why the real value of their wages continues to fall, even as the government swears there's no inflation. I doubt even one in 100 Americans understands the risks our country faces as we attempt to manage total debts (public and private) that represent about 400% of GDP (not counting any of the future costs of the entitlement programs) while our trading partners abandon our currency as the reserve standard."

Over 90 per cent of Americans are thought to support the labeling of genetically engineered foods. "Perhaps not surprisingly then, as the New York Daily News reported just yesterday, a last-minute push by biotech lobbyists was attributed to the defeat of a GMO labeling law in New York. "Undeterred for the moment, New York assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal (D-Manhattan), the bill's lead sponsor, has vowed to try to find another way to bring the measure to a vote before the state's June 20 recess. "Rosenthal's chief of staff told the Daily News that a lobbyist for the Council for Biotechnology Information, an organization that represents biotech giants such as Monsanto and DuPont, had attended the New York state committee vote. "'We heard there was heavy industry lobbying at the last minute,' Rebecca Spector, West Coast director for the Center of Food Safety, told the news website TakePart. "Meanwhile, in late April, a new federal bill that would mandate the labeling of GMOs, the Genetically Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act, was introduced by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Rep.

"Though few expect GMO labeling to pass at the federal level, advocates for such measures point to the fact that the mere introduction represents progress for laws that have made little to no progress in the decades since first being introduced. "Since that FDA decision, the food industry has spent considerable resources to prevent GMO ingredient labeling. In 2012, a coalition of biotech corporations spent some $50 million on an ad blitz against a GMO labeling law which was ultimately defeated in California."

Washington, D.C.—Something quite unexpected happened just hours ago, in the dark of night, during a two-day layover in Washington, DC. My son and I are scheduled to take part in a seminar outside of Raleigh, North Carolina this weekend, so we combined our travels to include a side-trip to DC for a business meeting we had previously arranged. It was during this layover that something seemingly ripped from the pages of a spy novel took place. Donatello Restaurant Fine Italian and Mediterranean Dining in Toronto. While I was in the middle of a perfectly good and well needed sleep in the very early hours of this morning, I received a message. I cannot disclose how I received this message, at least not now. The discerning reader will understand why, which, by the way, would make a very interesting story alone. The message was extremely clear and precise. I was to meet my high level DHS insider at a very specific location in Washington, DC, at a time when most ‘normal’ people, except thirdshift workers are still asleep. And, I was to come alone and make certain that I was not being followed, and I was to leave any cell phone or electronic device behind. Seriously? I thought, as I was still trying to make sense of it all. Is all this really necessary? Is this really happening? I considered waking my son to accompany me, but opted to follow the instructions to the letter. Besides, I thought, he’s not the most affable middle-of-the-night person. I left a hastily written but detailed note in my hotel room before my departure in the event something happened. I looked at the digital clock on my rental car (my personal car would never survive our long distance trip).

A chill rose up my spine as I waited in the dark of a chilly, misty and foggy pre-dawn morning. I was to meet with my DHS insider source at a time when most of the nation is asleep, at a place I could swear was featured in the movie All the President’s Men. No one and I mean no one knows I’m here, I thought, as I could see one of the most recognizable national landmarks in the distance. Her Hula Hoop Dance We All Remember Will Leave You This Megan Fox, But Speechless Now... My source appeared out of nowhere, or so it seemed, and handed me a cup of coffee with the astute observation that I looked like I needed it. So tell me, I asked impatiently, why do we have to meet at this time, at this location, and under such specific circumstances? ‘Because this might be our last meeting,’ he stated. Maybe it was the lack of sleep, the time, the place, or the chill of the misty rain that caused my sense of foreboding. “Explain,” I asked in an almost demanding tone. So he did, without mincing words. The details “If anyone thinks that what’s going on right now with all of this surveillance of American citizens is to fight some sort of foreign enemy, they’re delusional.

He looked at me, giving me a look like I’ve never seen, and actually pushed his finger into my chest. “You don’t know jack,” he said, “this is bigger than you can imagine, bigger than anyone can imagine. This administration is collecting names of sources, whistle blowers and their families, names of media sources and everybody they talk to and have talked to, and they already have a huge list. If you’re not working for MSNBC or CNN, you’re probably on that list. If you are a website owner with a brisk readership and a conservative bent, you’re on that list. It’s a political dissident list, not an enemy threat list,” he stated. Most Shared CFP stories Tweets by @canadafreepress “What’s that exactly mean, being on that list, that is,” I asked, trying to make sense of it all. “It means that there will be censorship under the color of authority of anyone in the U.S. who is attempting to expose what’s going on in our name. It’s about controlling any damning information from reaching epidemic proportions. It’s damage control to the extreme. It’s about the upcoming censorship of the internet in the name of national security. The plans are already in place. These latest reports about ‘spying eyes’ have turned this administration and others connected to it into something very, very dangerous. They feel cornered and threatened, and I’m hearing about some plans they have to shut down the flow of information that is implicating them of wrongdoing. Time is short,” he stated. “How are they going to do this? How is it even possible” I asked. “First, they intend to use the Justice Department to silence journalists like in the Rosen case, but they won’t stop there. They will use a host of national security policies, laws, letters, whatever to take out the bigger threats,” he stated. Next, they will use some sort of excuse, an external threat, and I believe it will be a combination of the economic collapse and a Mid-East war that will begin in Syria to throttle the information that is accessible on the Internet. And you know what? People will believe it!” Based on what I’ve seen, most of which I should not have seen, the DHS is co- http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/55749[6/11/2013 4:58:49 PM] Top 10 Fighter Jets Fly By Low Pass 9 Things That Prove 'Terra' Is 'Incognita' Indeed!

A Major Update to the "End of America" June 11, 2013 Editor's note: In 2008, in the depths of the credit crisis and stock-market crash, Porter Stansberry began warning his readers about the " ." He wasn't calling for the end of the political union... but the end of the economic privileges America has enjoyed since World War II. As you'll see below, many of his biggest predictions have already come true... Bear with me... Today's essay addresses what I believe is the core financial issue of our generation. These concerns are so important, they dwarf all other financial considerations. Unfortunately, few journalists have any idea what these things mean. So you likely haven't heard of most of these things. So please... allow me a bit of basic reporting. Last April... in a little-noticed move... Australia announced it was transferring 5% of its currency reserves from the U.S. dollar to the Chinese yuan. The deal was part of a broader currency agreement between the two countries that allows Australia's leading banks to handle trade settlements between the two countries without the use of the U.S. dollar as a reserve currency. As CBS Marketwatch explained, "The agreement does away with the need for companies and currency traders to first convert their Australian dollars or yuan into U.S. dollars." Similar direct-exchange agreements, swap lines, and bilateral trade agreements have now been established between China and virtually every major economy in the world: Japan, Brazil, Russia, India, Britain, and France – not to mention every economy in Asia. These agreements will allow China, the world's dominant consumer of commodities, to completely avoid using the U.S. dollar in virtually all of its raw-material sourcing. Similar "dollar exclusion" agreements have been formed by Russia with its major trading partners. London-based HSBC, one of the world's largest banks, now predicts that by 2015, the Chinese yuan will equal the U.S. dollar and the euro in cross-border transaction volume. In December 2008, I began warning about the risk that the U.S. could lose its "world reserve currency status," something I termed the "End of America." It's worth looking at what I wrote almost five years ago because 6/11/2013 5:02 PM PrintFriendly.com: Print web pages, create PDFs 2 of 4 http://www.printfriendly.com/print?url=http://www.stansberryresearch.c... so much of what I feared would happen has come true. In the days following the huge crash of the stock market and the near-collapse of the world's banking system, I warned readers about what I saw coming. Before you continue... . As you'll see, almost everything I foresaw in December 2008 has happened. The Fed went on to print and spend more than $3 trillion. The prices of stocks and commodities soared. The dollar fell versus sound currencies around the world. And the prices of U.S. goods and services, even domestically made products, soared. Now, some folks who have followed my research from the beginning might point out that I predicted the U.S. would begin suffering from severe inflation as early as 2009. With the consumer price index hovering around 1%, isn't that inflation overdue? If you look beyond the government's manipulated numbers and focus on the real prices people are paying... you'll see price inflation is here and getting worse... As I've written extensively... inflation is found everywhere in our economy, except in the government's statistics. Corn, the most important food crop in America, is up 75% since 2008. Gasoline is up from $2.25 a gallon to more than $3 a gallon – an increase of more than 30%. The nationwide minimum wage is up by 40%. Rents are up by 25% nationwide and up 40% in most urban markets. And my favorite example, the base price of a Ford F-150, the best-selling passenger vehicle in America, has gone from $18,225 to $23,670 – a 30% increase. That's a domestically sourced and manufactured product... its price is completely dominated by the value of the U.S. dollar. Meanwhile... the government says there is no inflation... and that continuing to print $85 billion to buy government and mortgage debt is merely "interest-rate policy by other means." What could go wrong? Billionaire investor Warren Buffett has sagely warned that buying all of those bonds and manipulating interest rates to stupidly low levels will prove to be much easier than selling them. The fact is, the moment our central bank begins to sell U.S. Treasury bonds, the whole world will follow. After all, our dollars aren't needed in trade for most of the big commodity countries. So the free ride will be over. All the traders who've enjoyed the free ride on the back of the Fed's buying will surely change course the moment it starts to sell. And what, you might wonder, have our noble leaders done with all the money and credit 6/11/2013 5:02 PM PrintFriendly.com: Print web pages, create PDFs 3 of 4 http://www.printfriendly.com/print?url=http://www.stansberryresearch.c... they've created? Mostly, they have expanded the welfare state at the fastest pace in history, creating more dependency in your fellow citizens than has ever existed before in the history of our country. There are now almost 100 million people collecting food stamps, disability, or long-term unemployment. Barely 60% of the adult population of America bothers to go to work, even on a part-time basis. On the backs of the poor schleps in America who paid their mortgages and still go to work, a gargantuan pile of debts and obligations have been piled higher and higher over the last five years. Total debt now approaches $60 trillion. Federal debt has nearly doubled in the last five years, from $9 trillion to $17 trillion. And our governments (state, local, and federal) continue to take up more and more of our economy – comprising more than 40% of our roughly $15 trillion gross domestic product (GDP) today. It seems completely obvious that none of this is sustainable. The few Americans who still work and pay taxes can't possibly support the income demands of nearly 40% of the population... especially considering the debt load our economy suffers under. We cannot possibly afford our existing debts, if we were to pay them back at a fair rate of interest in sound money. And so... we race toward a day of reckoning when the Fed cannot continue to print new dollars to bail us out because our trading partners have abandoned our currency. Of course, not every American is an economist. Most people don't understand why the real value of their wages continues to fall, even as the government swears there's no inflation. I doubt even one in 100 Americans understands the risks our country faces as we attempt to manage total debts (public and private) that represent about 400% of GDP (not counting any of the future costs of the entitlement programs) while our trading partners abandon our currency as the reserve standard. But... most people know something is wrong. Gun ownership in America now stands at 47% of all adults – that's near the highest percentage ever recorded by Gallup. It marks a significant increase since 2008. The percentage of self-described liberals who own guns has grown from 30% to 40% in that period. So even folks who don't believe you should own a gun have been buying them. I believe most people know that something isn't right... that we can't go on like this forever... printing money day after day. Most people simply know that far too many people 6/11/2013 5:02 PM PrintFriendly.com: Print web pages, create PDFs 4 of 4 http://www.printfriendly.com/print?url=http://www.stansberryresearch.c... are on the dole. And they can see that our Treasury has fallen into the hands of the voters, a fact that has spelled doom for every democracy in history. So while they might not fully understand all the factors that I've written about here... they can see the hallmarks of a crisis. And that's why... despite the central banks' efforts to manipulate the paper price of gold down... there are never any gold coins left to buy. That's why the price of farmland has soared (as I predicted it would). That's why more and more wealthy people are leaving America. And that's why... I firmly believe... this ongoing bull market will end very, very badly. Many people who read my End of America warnings over the years replied that it would take decades for America to lose its world reserve currency status. But if you simply look at the data on cross-border currency exchanges, you'll find that so far this year, more than 40% of the exchanges involved the euro. Only 33% involved the dollar. Today, more than 60% of bank reserves around the world are still held in U.S. dollars. Mark my words: In less than a year, the dollar will no longer make up even a majority of these reserves. The End of America isn't coming. It is here. Regards, Porter Stansberry P.S. As many of you know, I released my first video almost three years ago detailing my research on the End of America. It became one of the most watched financial presentations ever... attracting more than 20 million views. I've continued studying these issues closely in the years since and have just released a follow-up video that describes how I expect the End of America to play out from here. The End of America is already having serious consequences for millions of Americans.

Connecticut passes first GMO food labeling law in US June 11, 2013 Published time: June 05, 2013 03:46 The state of Connecticut has become the first to successfully enact a law requiring food containing genetically modified ingredients to be labeled as such, though it comes with the unusual requirement that four other states must pass similar legislation. Though supporters of GMO product labeling will likely laud the state legislature’s approval of the new bill, it represents a significant weakening of the initial proposal with the introduction of a bipartisan 'compromise' requiring that four additional states, one of which must border Connecticut, pass labeling laws as well. An additional requirement is that the aggregate population of any combination of such states exceed 20 million people. Perhaps not surprisingly then, as the New York Daily News reported just yesterday, a last-minute push by biotech lobbyists was attributed to the defeat of a GMO labeling law in New York. Undeterred for the moment, New York assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal (D-Manhattan), the bill’s lead sponsor, has vowed to try to find another way to bring the measure to a vote before the state’s June 20 recess. 6/11/2013 5:12 PM PrintFriendly.com: Print web pages, create PDFs 2 of 3 http://www.printfriendly.com/print?url=http://rt.com/usa/connecticut-firs... Rosenthal’s chief of staff told the Daily News that a lobbyist for the Council for Biotechnology Information, an organization that represents biotech giants such as Monsanto and DuPont, had attended the New York state committee vote. “We heard there was heavy industry lobbying at the last minute,” Rebecca Spector, West Coast director for the Center of Food Safety, told the news website TakePart. “When they counted, they had the votes in the committee, and at the last minute, two committee members switched their votes. We’re still waiting to find out which two,” she added. As RT previously reported, even within states like Vermont, which is long known for its independent-minded state legislature, fear of pending lawsuits by companies like Monsanto generated a . Meanwhile, in late April, a new federal bill that would mandate the labeling of GMOs, the Genetically Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act, was introduced by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR). The govtrack.us website currently gives that bill a 3 per cent chance of surviving a committee before moving on to floor debate and a potential vote. Though few expect GMO labeling to pass at the federal level, advocates for such measures point to the fact that the mere introduction represents progress for laws that have made little to no progress in the decades since first being introduced. "The fact that this bill made it to an agenda demonstrates the distinct desire on the part of the New York State Assembly to tackle tough issues, and is also illustrative of tremendous impact that the advocates nationwide have had on this debate," Rosenthal said of the recently defeated New York labeling law. But even in Connecticut, which managed to pass at least a diluted version of its original GMO labeling bill, Governor Dannel P. Malloy left no doubt as to why the law was passed in its current form. “This bill strikes an important balance by ensuring the consumers’ right to know what is in their food while shielding our small businesses from liability that could leave them at a competitive disadvantage,” he said in a statement. Though over 90 per cent of Americans are thought to support the labeling of genetically engineered foods, the Food and Drug Administration’s 1992 policy statement does not find GMO foods to be “materially” different from any other as genetic differences cannot be 6/11/2013 5:12 PM PrintFriendly.com: Print web pages, create PDFs 3 of 3 http://www.printfriendly.com/print?url=http://rt.com/usa/connecticut-firs... recognized by taste, smell or other senses. Since that FDA decision, the food industry has spent considerable resources to prevent GMO ingredient labeling. In 2012, a coalition of biotech corporations spent some $50 million on an ad blitz against a GMO labeling law which was ultimately defeated in California. 6/11/2013 5:12 PM IBE Communicator 2013 June - (A) PO Box 352 • Jemison AL 35085 • USA • ThePerfectStormIsComing.org • ibe@hiwaay.net • (205) 646-2941 Reaching Out from Within Here’s a story we really shouldn’t tell you: Crossing the line to get across the border … A RECENT NEWS REPORT GAVE DETAILS OF SMUGGLERS carrying Kentucky Fried Chicken from Egypt into Gaza. The lengths some people will go to for some finger-licking fast food seem to have no bounds. Though illegal, business is booming for a Palestinian entrepeneur. When it comes to working within the law of the land, the wisest course is to be obedient. But there are times when a Higher Law, ordained by a Higher Power, must dictate the behavior of the faithful; “We should obey God rather than man” ought to be the guiding verse for the People of God. When you think of the concept of smuggling, what usually comes to mind is the selling of illegal drugs or alcohol. But there is another kind of smuggling that involves the carrying of the Word of God into areas on the planet which forbid its publication — think, Communistic countries or Islamic regimes. The presence of God and the Name of Jesus are not universally welcomed. Most Christian denominations have settled into the doctrines that suit them best; any other spiritual food-for-thought is not encouraged. Occasionally, though, members of a church become exposed to a broader interpretation of the Bible, and seek to share their newfound knowledge with friends and family in their home churches. Such has been the case with a handful of quiet evangelists across the northern border; they have been using our Community Mailing service to send thousands of copies of Will America Survive? (full-text GC) into their former religious community in Canada. They are getting results. Every day more and more people within that community call our office with questions: “Who are you?” “Why are you doing this?” “Tell me more!” To sow a new idea—without getting in the way of that idea—is not an easy thing for a human being to do, so a book works perfectly as a carrier for disinterested seed. Once the thought is sown, the thinker eventually concludes that the idea was one of personal conviction; very few people disagree with them- Community Mailing ® is still one of the most efficient, cost-effective ways of quickly scattering Good News across the United States—English and Spanish.

Some pastors use the term “sheepstealing” when referring to crossdenominational evangelism. Perhaps it’s best not to think of it that way. The Bible is a big Book, with many themes worthy of our contemplation, none perhaps as important as an endof-time judgment and a soon-coming King. If these concepts loom large in your daily thinking, and you’d like to share them, consider sponsoring a Community Mailing in your area or beyond.

Card # Anyone acquainted with the US prison system will be aware it takes a proverbial Act of Congress to get anything worthwhile through the gates to the prisoners. Recently, though, a DVD we sent made it through the red tape and landed in the lap of a prisoner before being vetted by the Chaplain. The DVD draws attention to the massive disruption in the natural environment. The prisoner took the DVD to the Chaplain, who quickly decided that it needed to be seen by all the inmates.
