Over a Thousand US Parks Are PRIVATELY Funded, So Why Are They Closed?


Its Official: US Forest Service Closing over 1000 Privately-Funded Parks

The US Forest Service, under pressure apparently from the White House, has reversed both its historical precedent as well as its position yesterday and will close over 1000 public parks and campgrounds that are operated by private companies without using one dime of public money.  Why does the fact that our landlord the US Forest Service is going on an unpaid vacation mean that tenants of theirs have to close up shop too?  We have no idea.

This is how I explained it in my letter to my senators:
My company, based in North Phoenix, operates over 100 US Forest Service campgrounds and day use areas under concession contract. Yesterday, as in all past government shutdowns, the Department of Agriculture and US Forest Service confirmed we would stay open during the government shutdown. This makes total sense, since our operations are self-sufficient (we are fully funded by user fees at the gate), we get no federal funds, we employ no government workers on these sites, and we actually pay rent into the Treasury.
However, today, we have been told by senior member of the US Forest Service and Department of Agriculture that people “above the department”, which I presume means the White House, plan to order the Forest Service to needlessly and illegally close all private operations. I can only assume their intention is to artificially increase the cost of the shutdown as some sort of political ploy.
The point of the shutdown is to close non-essential operations that require Federal money and manpower to stay open. So why is the White House closing private operations that require no government money to keep open and actually pay a percentage of their gate revenues back to the Treasury? We are a tenant of the US Forest Service, and a tenant does not have to close his business just because his landlord goes on a vacation.

In the interest of news and information-sharing, we have copied this blogger's post verbatim and entire. But please visit the original post, at Coyote Blog to join the discussion there.

East Coast Tsunami Media Blackout

TSUNAMI of 13 June, 2013 (Northwestern Atlantic Ocean)

Tsunami-like waves were observed along the US east coast during the afternoon of June 13, 2013 (day 164). The source is complex and still under review, though the coincidence at several gages with strong atmospheric pressure fluctuations indicate that it is at least partly generated by meteorological causes. The event occurred in close conjunction with a weather system labeled by the National Weather Service as a low-end derecho which propagated from west to east over the New Jersey shore just before the tsunami. It is also possible that the slumping at the continental shelf east of New Jersey played a role. The tsunami was observed at over 30 tide gages and one DART buoy throughout the Northwestern Atlantic Ocean.
A first-hand description was provided by Brian Coen who observed the event at Barnegat Inlet in New Jersey:
Around 3:30pm on Thursday June 13, 2013, Brian Coen was spear fishing near the mouth of Barnegat Inlet; just south of the submerged northern breakwater. Earlier in the day around noon, thunderstorms had moved through the area. By 3:30pm the weather was overcast with a light east wind. At approximately 3:30, the outgoing tide was amplified by strong currents which carried divers over the submerged breakwater (normally 3-4 feet deep). This strong outrush continued for 1-2 minutes and eventually the rocks in the submerged breakwater were exposed. Brian backed his boat out before being sucked over as well.

At this point, Brian noticed a large wave coming in, approximately 6 feet peak-to-trough and spanning across the inlet. The upper 2 feet of the wave was breaking. This wave occurred in conjunction with a reversal of the current such that even though the tide was going out, a strong surge was entering the inlet. This surge carried the divers back over the submerged reef and into the inlet from where they were picked up. On the south jetty three people were swept off the rocks which were 5 to 6 feet above sea level at the time. At least two were injured requiring medical treatment. There was no more strong activity after about 5 minutes.
This event produced a tsunami that was recorded at tide gages monitored by the West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center (WCATWC). Many observatories provide data to the centers; such as the NOAA National Ocean Service, the U. of Hawaii Sea Level Center, the Chilean Navy, the Japan Meteorological Ageny and the National Tidal Facility in Australia among others. Click on the site name to see a graph of the tsunami, when available. Listed wave heights are maximum amplitude in cm (above sea level). Observed Arrival time is the actual tsunami arrival time in UTC on gages where it could be determined. The Sample Interval column shows the time between data samples.

Cyclops Shark! Freaky Fluke or Symptom of Man's Disaster?

Cyclops Shark Joins Ranks of Cryptic Creatures

Researchers report that the shark's single eye is made of functional optical tissue, so it's not a fake

In this world of Photoshop and online scams, it pays to have a hearty dose of skepticism at reports of something strange—including an albino fetal shark with one eye smack in the middle of its nose like a Cyclops.

But the Cyclops shark, sliced from the belly of a pregnant mama dusky shark caught by a commercial fisherman in the Gulf of California earlier this summer, is by all reports the real thing. Shark researchers have examined the preserved creature and found that its single eye is made of functional optical tissue, they said last week. It's unlikely, however, that the malformed creature would have survived outside the womb.

"This is extremely rare," shark expert Felipe Galvan Magana of Mexico's Centro Interdisciplinario de Ciencias del Mar told the Pisces Fleet Sportfishing blog in July. "As far as I know, less than 50 examples of an abnormality like this have been recorded." [See photos of the one-eyed "Cyclops" shark]

Pisces Fleet, a sportfishing company, rocketed the Cyclops shark to viral status online this summer with their photos of the creepy-cute creature. But this isn't the first time that reports of a mythical-seeming creature have spurred media sensations — last week alone, Russian officials announced "proof" of a Yeti, and paleontologists spun a theory about an ancient Kraken-like squid. Few reports of mythical beasts, however, come with proof.

As many as 18,000 people may have perished as the result of a 13th century volcano thousands of miles away. Scientists first believed that the mass grave was the result of the Great Famine or the plague, but now believe the massive death was the result of this mystery volcano, which may have exploded as far away as Mexico or Latin America.

What In The World Are They Spraying? (Full Length Feature)



This is one of those conspiracy theories that people tend to completely dismiss out of hand as ridiculous, when in fact it's pretty much open knowledge that it is actually happening. What exactly the purpose is, might be up for debate in some circles of conspiracy-theorist though.

A little further out on the fringe there are folks who say the purpose of the chemtrail spraying is meant to bring about an entirely new global climate, a sort of terra-forming if you will, to make the planet more hospitable to a race of extra-terrestrials who have infiltrated our governments. A variation of this might be that the New World Order elites simply desire a steady global 72-degrees with moderate humidity, or something like that.

Zooming in a little closer to the real of realistic possibilities is that the government is spraying chemicals that will manipulate widespread populations. Much the same way as fluoride in our water does. This is actually quite plauseable when you start looking into the whole fluoride thing, but we are still left to wonder what chemical or chemicals are actually being sprayed, and to what ends. Chemicals to make people sick, irritated, good consumers? Who knows? While I certainly believe that we are being poisoned by the powers-that-be, I am not convinced it is being done through aerial spraying by and large. I think they have better ways to poisons us.


No, I believe what we are seeing is the manipulation of weather patterns. A more mundane explanation than many of the conspiracy theories out there, yet one that the general public still has a hard time swallowing for some reason, even though the technology is there and governments around the world have admitted it. Modern weather manipulation and cloud seeding has it's roots in an experiment conducted at General Electric labs in Schenectady, New York in 1946. The Chinese government is so open about their weather manipulation that they openly brag about it to the world, as they did when they guaranteed that it would not rain on the Beijing Olympics. So considering that weather manipulation is in fact technologically possible and is in fact being done openly by some governments, it's hardly a stretch at all to imagine that airliners might be involved in weather manipulation.

I think maybe people have a hard time accepting that, because of the massive scale on which it is being done for one thing. We aren't talking about a few artillery canisters being popped up into the sky over Beijing, and we aren't even talking about a few German Airforce jet fighters giving the Netherlands a wet-willy. If these airliners really are dong this, we are indeed talking about manipulation of global weather patterns on a long term basis. This in turn, means that whoever is controlling the weather, it controlling everything from the stock market to our food supply. So that puts us back into some pretty scary territory which the common folk aren't quite ready to accept. We are talking about something bigger than government. When I hear people say, "the government is spraying us with chemtrails" they are actually failing to see the bigger picture. It's not the government doing this, it's a behind-the-scenes network of international corporations. Remember, these planes fly around the world and are owned by private companies, not governments for the most part. So while the government may have the technology, it is the corporations who are collaborating in this weather pattern manipulation. But could there really be some hidden group behind the scenes with enough power to bring all these different companies together to carry out such a massive operation? And then, not only powerful enough to carry out such an operation, but to then turn around and actually profit from the results, whether politically or financially?

A few days ago we printed an article about how the international banking cartel was manipulating global finances and directing western military forces to do their bidding. In that article we included a video interview with a member of the Rothschild family, who talked about his desire for a global currency. A pretty straightforward admission of his family's designs to bring about a New World Order. But what does that have anything to do with the weather you ask, and chemtrail weather manipulation? Well, conveniently, the Rothschild also talked about the weather in that interview, about a minute or so in...

A Rothschild Speaks - Listen Closely

Are we making the connection yet, dear reader?

Here's one more little anecdote about chemicals and public modes of transportation. Have you ever wondered how passenger buses can afford to stay in business? Most of the time we see them tooling down the interstate with just a handful of passengers on board. How does that pay for all the fuel, maintenance, the driver's pay and benefits, etcetera? Well here's a little known fact that you can confirm with just about anyone who holds a Commercial Driver's License. Passenger buses are exempt from most government restrictions on transporting chemicals and other dangerous materials. They don't need to display placards, pay extensive fees, and are immune from most laws regarding interstate transport of dangerous materials. Now think about that the next time you look over at those baggage compartment doors on the half-empty bus riding next to you going down the freeway. That's right, they are being paid and paid well to transport all sorts of dangerous materials in those stowage bays.

Well, without further ado, here's the feature presentation. Happy trails...

Agent Orange on The Cob? Terrorists To Carpet-Bomb Heartland With 'Nam-Era Chem

America's farmlands to be carpet-bombed with Vietnam-era Agent Orange chemical if Dow petition approved

(NaturalNews) A key chemical of one of the most horrifying elements of the Vietnam War -- Agent Orange -- may soon be unleashed on America's farmlands. Considered by world nations to be a "Weapon of Mass Destruction" (WMD), Agent Orange was dropped in the millions of gallons on civilian populations during the Vietnam War in order to destroy foliage and poison North Vietnamese soldiers. The former president of the Vietnamese Red Cross, Professor Nhan, described it as, "...a massive violation of human rights of the civilian population, and a weapon of mass destruction."

A key chemical in that weapon -- 2,4-D -- is just months away from being dropped on agricultural land across the United States. Dow AgroSciences, which along with DuPont and Monsanto is heavily invested in genetically engineered crops, has petitioned the U.S. government to deregulate a variety of GE corn that's resistant to 2,4-D, which comprises 50% of the recipe of Agent Orange.

NaturalNews broke this story yesterday and published the details:
http://www.naturalnews.com/034492_D...

If the petition is approved by Washington, it would turn America's corn fields into chemical warfare zones targeted for mass pesticide poisoning with 2,4-D chemicals. The corn, of course, would be immune to 2,4-D, so it would uptake the chemical and transport it right into the structure of the corn kernels, creating "Agent Orange corn bombs" that would be chemically unleashed when consumed by human beings.

This is just the latest example of how industrial chemical giants and GMO companies of the world are committing acts of genocide against innocents. The introduction of 2,4-D-resistant GE corn is, essentially, an act of war against humanity.

This is what they are putting in our food, this is what they want to do to YOU...

Art Invented 200 Million Years Ago?

A group of paleontologists are claiming that the first sentient beings on Earth to create art were not human. They believe a fossil field found in Nevada reveals bones in geometric, decorative patterns. So who did this decorating? Monstrously large, tentacled sea creatures called “kraken” who lived 200 million years ago.

Surfer Almost Gets Swallowed by Whale


A woman floating on a surfboard near Santa Cruz, California almost ended up on the lunch menu for a humpback whale over the weekend. Barb Roettger had her camera rolling as two hefty whales popped out of the calm waters not far from the unsuspecting surfer and a pair of kayakers.


A pod of humpback whales has been hanging out off the Santa Cruz coast, noshing on anchovies that flock to the area to feed on plankton. The woman found herself in the middle of a feeding frenzy called lunge feeding, which occurs when whales herd anchovies and shoot straight up out of the water with their mouth wide open to catch the fish.


The whales have had quite a few dangerous close encounters with humans and boats in recent months. Whale watchers are warned to stay at least 100 yards away from the feeding area. Roettger says she has now gained a greater respect for whales, their feeding patterns and will now only spectate from the decidedly safer dry land.

Cops Rampage, Killing Exotic Animals (UPDATED)

In Ohio, zookeeper apparently released nearly 50 exotic animals from his preserve before killing himself. Lions, bears, wolves and giraffes were among the animals sent roaming in public areas sparking fear and forcing the closure of schools in the area.

According to PoliceOne.com Facebook page, officials have killed 44 of the beasts so far. There is no report to explain why police have resorted to killing the animals, rather than hitting them with tranquilizers when they are located.

Here locally in upstate NY, we occasionally have black bears which wander into neighborhoods and urban areas. When they are spotted, they are tracked down, shot with a tranquilizer dart, and relocated. That does not appear to have been the strategy here for some reason. Rather, the police have chosen to put down the beasts though there are no reports of them doing any harm.

Check out the vide report from CBS News:

While most news reports failed to mention the tigers among the list of wild animals on the loose, the fact is that police did in fact execute highly endangered tigers.

South China tigers are functionally EXTINCT in the wild, and most other species of tiger have only a few hundred breeding pairs left in the wild.

Police did this...

Saturn Shown in Spectacular Cassini Photo

We are spoiled by sci-fi movies and airbrushed images, that when we see a real photo from space, it usually seems mundane. Some speck in a field of specks of various sizes and drab shades of color, that are only revelations to astronomers. But now, we have this stunning image. Not only is it a sweet piece of eye candy, but it has revealed important information to astronomers for the first time, including the revelation of previously unknown rings around the gas giant originally named by the Greeks as Cronus, the mythological Titan father of Zeus.






In the Shadow of Saturn
Image Credit: Cassini Imaging Team, SSI, JPL, ESA, NASA
Explanation: In the shadow of Saturn, unexpected wonders appear. The robotic Cassini spacecraft now orbiting Saturn drifted in giant planet's shadow for about 12 hours in 2006 and looked back toward the eclipsed Sun. Cassini saw a view unlike any other. First, the night side of Saturn is seen to be partly lit by light reflected from its own majestic ring system. Next, the rings themselves appear dark when silhouetted against Saturn, but quite bright when viewed away from Saturn, slightly scattering sunlight, in this exaggerated color image. Saturn's rings light up so much that new rings were discovered, although they are hard to see in the image. Seen in spectacular detail, however, is Saturn's E ring, the ring created by the newly discovered ice-fountains of the moon Enceladus and the outermost ring visible above. Far in the distance, at the left, just above the bright main rings, is the almost ignorable pale blue dot of Earth.

Tornado Blasts Across NYS Thruway

You can skip the first 5 mins or so, but it's worth watching anyway to set the mood, really feel what it's like to have a storm like this roll in. Nice lightning, and a microburst ahead of the tube must have taken down a transformer across the highway. You can see it lighting up real good before the twister actually hits.

Local Storm Damage

When I went to bed last night, well early this morning, I thought we dodged the worst of it. I even slept with my window open. When I woke up, I saw that it had even stopped raining. Then I looked out in the yard. FLOOD.

As it turns out, flooding is pretty bad here locally. Many roads not only underwater, but destroyed. Many folks have had to leave their homes, others can't get out without a raft and have had to call for help. Local 911 is inundated with calls from people trapped in their homes and cars and the calls keep pouring in. Just heard another call of 8 people trapped in a house. 

I was going to put together an album of local photos, but I am having some technical problems and the power is jacking around on me, so I will post a few submitted by a friend of mine here, and link you to the Facbook page where locals have been posting pics of what really does appear to be a disaster now.

Some more rain is falling now, and now we are finally getting hit with the winds. A limb just cracked and came down as I am typing this. Looks like we might be in for a long night here in Dutchess County NY.

Thanks for the pics Jason...

Sun's Nemesis Pelted Earth with Comets, Study Suggests

A dark object may be lurking near our solar system, occasionally kicking comets in our direction.

Nicknamed "Nemesis" or "The Death Star," this undetected object could be a red or brown dwarf star, or an even darker presence several times the mass of Jupiter.

Why do scientists think something could be hidden beyond the edge of our solar system? Originally, Nemesis was suggested as a way to explain a cycle of mass extinctions on Earth...
