‘Israel used depleted uranium shells in air strike’ – Syrian source

Israel used “a new type of weapon”, a senior official at the Syrian military facility that came under attack from the Israeli Air Force told RT.

“When the explosion happened it felt like an earthquake,” said the source, who was present near the attack site on the outskirts of Damascus on Sunday morning.

“Then a giant golden mushroom of fire appeared. This tells us that Israel used depleted uranium shells.”

Depleted uranium is a by-product of the uranium enrichment process that creates nuclear weapons, and was first used by the US in the Gulf conflict of 1991. Unlike the radioactive materials used in nuclear weapons, depleted uranium is not valued for its explosiveness, but for its toughness – it is 2.5 times as dense as steel – which allows it to penetrate heavy protection.

Countries using depleted uranium weapons insist that the material is toxic, but not dangerously radioactive, as long as it remains outside the body.

‘Toxic chemicals in US drone strikes’

Pakistani physicians and experts say the US uses chemical munitions in its non-UN-sanctioned drone strikes on Pakistan’s tribal regions bordering Afghanistan.

Experts revealed that those Pakistani civilians who have come under the unauthorized drone airstrike in Pakistan’s troubled northwest have been afflicted with complicated skin, eye and respiratory diseases due to the deadly chemical materials used in the missiles, the Press TV correspondent in Peshawar reported on Thursday.

According to journalists and experts from Waziristan that is a mountainous region of northwest Pakistan which has often been the focal point of US drone attacks, they have received numerous reports from several people and local doctors pointing at the hazardous effects of the ongoing drone attacks on the entire population.

“Since these drone strikes have been carried out, we have witnessed several peculiar disease cases, and our press club have been frequently visited by those complainants, who have developed skin and bronchial diseases in the aftermath of drone airstrikes. I’d like to add further that the agriculture and the livestock are also showing pitiable condition,” journalist Safdar Dawar told Press TV.

An expert from Waziristan says his daughter died of blood cancer soon after she had developed a skin disease, which was no more than the toxic effect of chemical substances used in the non-UN-sanctioned drone strikes.

“I myself lost my daughter, who was just 28 months old, she developed a skin disease and later on she was diagnosed, within a month, with blood cancer. At that time people were talking about the chemical bombings being carried out. The same is the case now that wherever the drone attacks are carried out, people in that area are complaining about skin diseases, lung infections, throat infections and various kinds of other diseases,” Pakistani political expert Safiullah Gul said.

The report strikes at the heart of growing tension between the United States and Pakistan over the US aerial attacks on Pakistani soil.

Washington claims the airstrikes target militants. However, the attacks have killed hundreds of civilians in Pakistan since 2008, local reports say.

Paul Rosenberg : How I Discovered the Hidden Side of History

*****************************************************************************************************

*****************************************************************************************************

By Paul Rosenberg, FreemansPerspective.com

1981: I was looking through some old books that somehow ended up at my parents’ house. Among them, I found a set of history books from the 1930s. With an innate interest in the topic, I began reading them, and was absolutely shocked by what I found.

The last book of the series covered what were then modern times, and to my horror, I found lavish praise for – of all people – Benito Mussolini.

These were American books, by the way, beautifully produced by a respected publisher. And there, in authoritative tones, was the story of the great Mussolini, the savior of Italy. Given that I was taught precisely the opposite, a mere 30-odd years later, you can imagine my surprise.

Just to establish my point, here are a few quotes from that time about Mussolini:

What a man! I have lost my heart!

- Winston Churchill

The greatest genius of the modern age.

- Thomas Edison

I am much interested and deeply impressed by what he has accomplished and by his evidenced honest purpose of restoring Italy.

- Franklin Roosevelt

Obviously, these quotes are no longer mentioned in ‘respectable’ circles. And that’s my point: What is inconvenient to the current ruling establishment is dropped from the books.

When I was young, the USSR was famous for horribly twisting history to make themselves look like the great and mighty ones. They even made jokes about it on the original Star Trek. But here was clear evidence that history – in America – had been altered. In this case, parts had not been added, but they most certainly had been taken away. That rather shook my view of history, as it had been taught to me at school.

A few years later I came across an even more troubling instance of history being pulled out of the books:

I had been writing a few books for a major publisher, and one of my editors asked me to meet him for dinner, which, of course, I did. We discussed projects that we might pursue and generally had a pleasant evening. At some point we left off discussing our projects and talked about history. Somehow, we ended up at the Armenian genocide. He was surprised that I knew about it (many still don’t), but I had known quite a few Armenian kids growing up, and I had heard their stories.

Then, my editor took a deep breath and said, “then I want to tell you something.” He explained that a few years before, he had been working for one of the big three textbook publishers, and happened to be editing a high school history book. One day, he got a phone call from the US State Department. He was shocked, and asked them why they would be calling him. “It’s about the history book you’re editing,” the man said.

My friend had been raised in about the same way I had, so the idea of censoring a textbook was astonishing to him. “We need you to cut back the section on the Armenian genocide,” the man from the State Department said. My friend was horrified, and complained that it was the true history. “Yes,” said the man, “but we need to keep the Turks happy.” My friend’s 2-3 pages on the Armenian genocide was reduced to 2-3 paragraphs, and it was a victory that he got that much space.

According to all I learned in school, such things did not happen in America. According to all that is self-promoted about academia, they are the sworn enemies of such things. But they do happen – a lot.

I’ve encountered the same thing on museum walls: descriptions that are clearly misleading, but which glorify the rulership of our time.

There is much more to this, but I’ll let the point stand as I’ve made it thus far: History is manipulated. You can find the truth if you dig through old books and artifact records, or from some specialists, but not from schoolbooks. The books aren’t filled with lies, they just remove the facts that don’t make their bosses look good.

And this is not a trivial thing; it affects a lot more than school children. As Adolf Hitler was starting his aggression against the Poles, the London Times quoted him as saying: Go, kill without mercy. After all, who remembers the Armenians?

What is deleted from history can teach us nothing, and those who have this power use it to glorify themselves. This is a very dangerous thing, and it rules the schoolbooks of America and the Western world in general.

I’ll close with a line from Paul Simon’s song, Kodachrome:

When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school,

it’s a wonder I can think at all.

What you learned in school was a partial, cartoon version of history. You learned what made the big bosses look good, and no more.

Selective Empathy and Psychopaths in Power

Lisa Guilani

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 06:27 CDT

© Massoud Hossaini
Aftermath of a shrine bomb in Kabul, Afghanistan that killed sixty-three people. The bomb was a direct result of the illegal US occupation of that country.

Every night as I lay my head down to sleep, I think of all those who do not have the luxury of doing so. Those sleepy folks in so many faraway places who can’t afford to close their eyes because they have to keep a vigilant watch over their families, homes, streets and neighborhoods. People who are constantly kept on a razor’s edge of anxiety and fear. People very directly being oppressed, occupied and attacked, living a nightmare reality most here in the West cannot even fathom.

And I know these people can’t afford to close their eyes because of the actions of psychopaths in power in governments that allegedly represent whole populations of people. They cannot get a decent restful night’s sleep because they don’t know if their eyes – or the eyes of their children, their parents, etc…will open tomorrow.

They can’t afford to shut their eyelids because soldiers are stalking their streets and invading their homes on a daily basis and yanking them out into the darkness. Americans mostly have no clue about so many of the things and peoples they claim to ‘hate’ because they mostly just adopt the attitudes and opinions of those who feed them propaganda and opinion parading as fact and truth. For a people who mostly have not a clue about the reality of the situation with respect to current events, past events, Middle East events, or events pretty much anywhere you can stick a pin on a map, Americans sure do seem to bitch and moan a lot about ‘events’ and ‘foreigners’ and ‘Islamic terrorists’ and ‘Muslims’.

Much bitching can be heard coming from the West, but where is any real awareness of the gravity of the overall world situation from the mass majority? One doesn’t have to work very hard to discover that more often than not, there is also practically zero curiosity from ‘Joe Q. Public’ to know the details of what’s happening.

Nobody wants to know because it’s easier to ignore the murder when one pretends the murder isn’t happening. Or,if they know, they justify it by parroting back the spoon-fed propaganda so liberally dished out via the mainstream media.

Americans are apparently quite proficient at regurgitating the repetitive messages of psychopaths. You can see this on any given day on any social networking site.

People spitting hatred for people they know nothing about, have no inherent curiosity to know anything about, or will likely ever meet face to face.

The media decides what the masses will think about you, or you, or you or him or her or them. Today it’s Muslims, but who knows, perhaps tomorrow it will be the Italians we’ll be told to hate, or maybe the Episcopalians. One patsy group is just as fair game as another in these dangerous times, and I doubt the psychopaths will lose any sleep over any of it. A patsy is a patsy. Americans never learned the important lessons from the JFK assassination. The drumbeat of death beats on and the wrong groups of people are being made into icons of terror and punished for crimes they never committed.

People are being killed by the dozen just because they exist.

And every night, I’m painfully aware of the gravity of this situation, and of how the continued silence of my own ‘countrymen’ helps to keep occupation alive, the oppression, genocide, apartheid – the terror – ongoing.

And I bow my head in shame and frustration, anger and sadness because so few people care that there are innocent human beings being profiled, labeled, targeted and terrorized. There are so many children being emotionally and psychologically devastated, severely traumatized, so many being killed for no other reason than that they exist and can be easily killed because the U.S. government can provide the weapons of death and the monies to keep the Death Machine rolling and the body counts high.

And this makes me ashamed to even be called an American.

Blah, blah, blah, we’re supposed to be BETTER than this.

Yet, how the hell can this be so when we keep feeding this beast through silence, apathy and the ever-flowing almighty tax dollars funneled to parasitic, terrorist welfare states like ‘Israel’ and the mass majority of Americans are STILL supporting the political psychopaths orchestrating and perpetrating all the murder and indiscriminate airstrikes on very real human beings so far away.

Why is it we in the West deserve to sleep undisturbed through the night, while somewhere beyond our earshot, out of view, our bombs explode, bursting in air across the same skies we share with those under fire, those who are being ‘liberated’ through death. Where do we get off denying something as basic as sleep, or water, or medicine, or food, or freedom of movement – to others? We’re complicit in human rights violations if we support the psychopaths imposing the inhumane sanctions and implementing psychopathic directives.

Palestinians bury their children that were murdered by Israeli ‘Defence’ forces

Who the hell do we think we are?

How can you sleep when people are being picked off systematically because your government sanctions mass murder of innocent civilians and, smiling for the cameras, carries through with mass murder – day after day, month after month, year after year – with U.S. tax dollars and with the blessing of your complicit silence?

During the last two days, I spoke with “dead” Chip Tatum, the long time CIA figure believed murdered years ago.

Tatum had been involved in assassinations for the U.S. Government and was tasked with killing a presidential third party candidate Ross Perot, a job he refused.

Tatum asked that his new status “among the living” be announced on Veterans Today, perhaps to help him remain among the living.

Twitter

 

by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer

(NaturalNews) Social networking giant Twitter has released a new report outlining all subpoenaed, court ordered, and search warranted requests made by the U.S. government for private information about the site’s users throughout the past year. And based on the figures, not only is the overall number of such requests steadily expanding, but Twitter is also increasingly being coerced into releasing this confidential data without legitimate probable cause or warrant.

During the first and second quarters of 2012, Twitter received a total of 849 requests for information, according to the report, about 80 percent of which came from the U.S. Roughly 12 percent of the requests made during this time came from Japan, while the remaining came from Canada, the U.K. and elsewhere. Overall, Twitter responded to 63 percent of these requests by providing some or all of the information requested, and rejected the other 37 percent.

Federal Hypocrisy in Action : GMO Hemp

GMO Hemp

Barbara H. Peterson

Farm Wars

Let’s get this straight. There is cannabis, and there is CANNABIS. One has relatively no THC levels, and the other does. It’s like two dogs – one a Chihuahua, the other a Great Dane. Same species, different breeds. The one with higher levels of THC is normally referred to as marijuana. That is the one that gets you high if heated. The other one, without high THC levels, is hemp. Smoke a pound of it and you’ll only get a headache… maybe. Yet, these are both illegal according to the U.S. government. Why? That’s a very good question.

Federal Hypocrisy in Action

One of the arguments against cannabis legalization in the U.S. is that “getting high” via THC is evidently unacceptable. Go drink a fifth of whiskey or down some barbiturates courtesy of your local licensed Big Pharma drug pusher instead. But don’t do both together, or you might die. In fact, you could die from either one, but that’s evidently irrelevant, as long as it is approved by our corporate government. In other words, don’t use your own drugs, use ours. Yeah, that’s safer. Take for example, Intermezzo, just in case you have that occasional sleepless night.

 Intermezzo

http://www.myintermezzo.com/portal/f?p=800:SAFETY:0::NO:::

“…the FDA is fully aware that the drugs it certifies as safe have been killing Americans at the rate of 100,000 per year.” (Jon Rappoport)

Here’s a novel idea – Before selling pain killers or sleeping pills, why not force Big Pharma to take the “high” out of them? Why not hold Big Pharma meds to the same standards? After all, that is the objectionable part to marijuana, isn’t it? Or so we’ve been told.

The only thing that anyone can complain about regarding the weed is that you are liable to get a little goofy if you take it. No side effects. None. Use enough and you go to sleep. Period. No depression, no vomiting or death by asphyxiation.

But that’s different, you say?

Why?

Well, what about the “gateway” theory that smoking marijuana will lead to stronger drugs?

The real gateway is the medicine cabinet in our own homes. Just count the prescriptions in there, then try and tell your child that drugs are bad. Yes, you can get high smoking marijuana, big deal. You can also get high doing any number of dangerous things, smoking marijuana NOT being one of them. Industrial hemp, however, will not get anyone high!

liarLies, Lies, and more Lies

Since the U.S. government does not differentiate between high THC content marijuana and its low content relation, industrial hemp, both are banned. Not because the government somehow missed the class on the difference between the two, that’s just plain silly.

So, why the ban?

It only makes sense if you understand that our government doesn’t care one lick about our health, or the health of the planet. The people in our government just want to keep their corporate donors flush in profits, power, and control. So, what to do? Simple. Conduct a war on the one plant that could quite possibly, if it was legal, put those donors out of business. At least for the time being…

So, here’s the spin – Have the government declare that cannabis, all cannabis, has no medicinal value and is illegal to grow, or even possess if it is the wrong breed. In fact, as recently as 2011, “the federal government ruled that it has no accepted medical use and should remain classified as a highly dangerous drug like heroin.”

Really???? Well, that says it all, eh? But wait! There is a government study from 1999 that says just the opposite!

And here is a patent for medical marijuana assigned to the US government:

http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6630507.PN.&OS=PN/6630507&RS=PN/6630507

Hmmmm…  Methinks the lies are starting to unravel before our very eyes.

Hypocrisy with a Capital H : While the U.S. government is desperately attempting to disarm the American population by pushing for knee jerk gun control laws, it is simultaneously arming itself to the teeth

‘Guns are bad!’ CounterThink cartoon reveals hypocrisy of government gun confiscation schemes

gun

 

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
Editor of NaturalNews.com

(NaturalNews) While the U.S. government is desperately attempting to disarm the American population by rolling out Adolf Hitler-style gun control, it is simultaneously arming itself to the teeth, buying up 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition and now stockpiling it at ammo depot stations around the country.

The hypocrisy of it all is stunning. While screaming, “GUNS ARE BAD!” to American farmers, ranchers and citizens, the government is buying up billions of dollars worth of guns and ammo itself. This isn’t ammo to be used in a foreign theater of war, by the way, it’s ammo that can only be used domestically, against the American people. (The hollow point ammo violates international war treaties and so cannot be used in international war actions.)

To help us all visualize the hypocrisy in the government’s gun control schemes, I came up with our latest Counterthink cartoon.

Click here for the Counterthink.com page

Here’s the cartoon:

Feel free to post this cartoon on your own website, but please give credit to the original source, which is NaturalNews.com / Counterthink.com.

In addition to purchasing 450 million rounds of hollow point .40 caliber ammo, the U.S. government has also purchased:

• Over one million rounds of hollow-point .223 rifle ammo
• Over half a million rounds of non-hollow-point .223 rifle ammo
• 220,000 rounds of 12 gauge shotgun #7 ammo (target ammo)
• Over 200,000 rounds of 12 gauge shotgun #00 buckshot ammo (tactical anti-personnel ammo)
• 66,000 rounds of 12 gauge shotgun slugs (tactical anti-personnel, anti-vehicle rounds)
• Over two million rounds of hollow-point .357 Sig JHP (hollow-point) pistol ammo (anti-personnel)
• Over four million rounds of .40 S&W JHP (hollow-point) pistol ammo (anti-personnel)
• Over 60,000 rounds of .308 match grade anti-personnel sniper rounds (BTHP)
• Plus, hundreds of thousands of additional rounds of .38 special, .45 auto, 9mm, 7.62×39 (AK rifle) ammo, and others.

This began as the response to a comment left on one of my posts  about swine flu in China. However,in  researching the response to be able to provide adequate materials for the individual to be able to research their own not simply take my word for it. It  grew into this.

I decided that  I should post it on it’s own so that others may become acquainted with the history of the US government as well as other governments.  I think  people need to wake up to the reality and stop the adulation that is blinding them to the truth of the crimes being perpetrated against humanity in the name of War , research and the continuity of the power structure in place within them..

If you thought animal experimentation was the only kind of experimentation that has been done then you  need to wake up and smell the coffee.  Your governments are not the entities you believe them to be and they are not looking out for your best interest.  Quite  the contrary, we  are inconsequential in the  scheme of things and it is high time people started opening their eyes and facing these truths.

I saw this movie last night called “Contagion” where there was a pandemic, of some unknown virus that had an incubation period of less and a few days, if I am correct, I fell asleep so many times during the movie. After reading your post, I can relate to why things are , and why one would say that the government is under a cloak of invisibility or at the very least try to be. Can I say art imitating life …..however, it does make you wonder if half the movies we see aren’t made on the basis of some real-life event. If there were the slightest possibility of a World-wide out-break ,that had the tiniest chance of survival as 1 in 4, would we be prepared for such a disaster? I shiver at my own morbid thought.

Yes , I have seen the movie.  Actually Hollywood movies have always been ahead  of the curve when it  comes to things like that as well as  politics and government.  Of course, being Hollywood there is always  the sensationalistic bent that is given to draw in viewer.  Which is logical,they make movies to make money.  Too many  movies however have come eerily close to situations that have taken place in  real life.  At  least  for me.

There  are  those who believe these movies are based on truths that are spun into the  fantastical. Just as  there  are those who say that it is purely coincidence and anyone who claims otherwise is a conspiracy nut. All I have to say about that  is the fact that  there  have  been many conspiracy theories that have been proven to have merit. Now is that to say that  all conspiracy theories are real?  Of course not.  However, based on the facts that some have indeed been proven to have merit how can one say with certainty which arising theory is fact or lunacy?

Now for those who say that  claiming that  the government would  be willing and able to execute any  number of these scenarios. May I remind you of the Tuskeegee Syphilis Experiment,  the Guatemala human experiments, the  radiation experiments that  were  carried out in low income minority neighborhoods and VA Hospitals.  Below I will place  several links to corroborate  what I am writing here in this response.  Do your research, read for yourself, don’t  take my word for it.

So you see your concerns are not unfounded and we must always remember to be critical and vigilant of governments.  For their intentions are never to safeguard  the lives of individual human beings but  rather their war games and ensuring the continuity of their perverse greedy and power hungry governments.

Experiments performed in the United States
Main article: Unethical human experimentation in the United States#Human radiation experiments

Numerous human radiation experiments have been performed in the United States, many of which were funded by various U.S. government agencies [1] such as the United States Department of Defense and the United States Atomic Energy Commission. Experiments included, but were not limited to:

Injecting radioactive iodine into pregnant women seeking abortion, in order to track the mass transfer between placenta and carriers bloodstream. Another experiment administered radioactive iodine to newborns.
irradiating the heads of children[2]
feeding radioactive material to mentally disabled children[3]
exposing U.S. soldiers and prisoners to high levels of radiation[3]
irradiating the testicles of prisoners, which caused severe birth defects[3]
exhuming bodies from graveyards to test them for radiation (without the consent of the families of the deceased)[4]

National Guard Partnering With Foreign Troops?

The National Guard has a program called “The State Sponsorship Program”. This program is just another piece in the puzzle for …well I will post some stuff about it from the website and let you be the judge:

“The National Guard’s 65-nation, 20-year-old State Partnership Program provides unique partnership capacity-building capabilities to combatant commanders and U.S. ambassadors through partnerships between U.S. states, territories and the District of Columbia and foreign countries.

The SPP supports U.S. national interests and security cooperation goals by engaging partner nations via military, socio-political and economic conduits at the local, state and national level.

The SPP evolved from a 1991 U.S. European Command decision to set up the Joint Contact Team Program in the Baltic Region with Reserve component Soldiers and Airmen. A subsequent National Guard Bureau proposal paired U.S. states with three nations emerging from the former Soviet Bloc and the SPP was born, becoming a key U.S. security cooperation tool, facilitating cooperation across all aspects of international civil-military affairs and encouraging people-to-people ties at the state level.”

and

“20 years after the National Guard’s State Partnership Program (SPP) began, it has grown from just a handful in Europe to a global endeavor. Learn more about the scope and philosophy behind this visionary and valuable diplomatic tool.”

KNIN, Croatia (5/31/2012) – Soldiers from the Minnesota Army National Guard’s 2nd Combined Arms Battalion, 136th Infantry Regiment recently teamed up with soldiers from the Croatian armed forces for an annual exercise called GUARDEX 12.

During the exercise, the Minnesota Soldiers integrated with Croatian soldiers and conducted platoon level training.

Here is the original stated job of the National Guard:

The National Guard of the several states, territories and the District of Columbia serves as part of the first-line defense for the United States.[8] The state National Guard is organized into units stationed in each of the 50 states and US territories, and operates under their respective state governor or territorial adjutant general

and recently:

In Oregon, under OVG, NORTHCOM and NORAD joined with the Oregon National Guard and the Portland Police Bureau to train to disarm Americans. This drill included armed soldiers from Bangladesh in connection with the National Guard Bureau’s State Partnership Program which forages partnerships with American and foreign troop

a little background:

In 1994, former President Clinton signed the Presidential Decision Directive/NSC-25 which states that if needed by the US government, foreign troops would be allocated for the expressed use by the US president to assist the US military, federal agencies and local law enforcement in the event of civil disturbance and necessity of marital law. This request would be directed to the UN and would immediately suspend the US constitution so that foreign troops could be sent to America

What in the world is going on here? You be the judge!

Crossroads News : Changes In The World Around Us And Our Place In It

IT :  Hacking & Security / Invasion Of Privacy

NaturalNews exclusive: US government developing ultimate cyber weapon; Prime-factoring quantum computing makes encryption obsolete

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

 

(NaturalNews) The U.S. government is making steady progress on a game-changing technology that would give it the most powerful weapon ever devised in the realm of cyber warfare and information dominance. The weapon is called a “prime-factoring quantum computer,” and a small-scale version of the game-changing technology has already been demonstrated by researchers at UC Santa Barbara, where qubits — quantum bits of computational potential — factored the number 15 into its prime factors three and five.

So what, you say? Can’t any fifth grader do the same thing?

But hold on: Every digital encryption algorithm used today depends in the extreme mathematical difficulty of factoring (the prime numbers of) very large numbers. When you buy something on the internet, for example, your credit card number is sent to the merchant using something called “SSL encryption” which typically uses a 40-bit, 128-bit or sometimes even a 256-bit encryption algorithm. Anyone who might intercept your web form data would not be able to extract your credit card number unless they decrypted your encrypted data. This task requires extraordinary computing power.

For example, using “military grade” 512-bit encryption means that it would take a supercomputer longer than the age of the known universe to decrypt your file and expose your secrets. This is why the U.S. military uses such encryption. It’s virtually unbreakable given today’s computers.

But quantum computers have the spooky ability to process complex decryption algorithms using what some scientists believe are computational bits which coexist in an infinite number of parallel universes. You feed the quantum computer a decryption task, and it “calculates” the answer in all possible parallel universes. The correct answer then emerges in this universe, seemingly magically.

Quantum computing appears to break the laws of physics… yeah, it’s spooky

All this is very much a layman’s description of the phenomenon of quantum computing, by the way. Physicists will get into far more detail about how qubits might actually work… although technically, nobody really understands quantum computing. The key thing to understand about quantum computing is that a qubit can store its states of zero and one simultaneously. A collection of eight qubits can store 256 variations or “values” simultaneously, unlike a traditional silicon “bit” which can only store one of 256 values at a time.

The upshot of all this, mathematically speaking, is that instead of decryption algorithms being exponentially more complex as the number of encryption digits increases, qubits allow decryption algorithms to process the problem in so-called polynomial time, meaning the problem becomes exponentially easier to solve. (Or, technically, it doesn’t become exponentially harder to solve as the number of encryption digits increases.)

The upshot is that a computational problem which would have required longer than the age of the known universe can, with the help of a quantum computer, be accomplished in minutes or even seconds.

“…We’ve shown that we can run a version of Peter Shor’s prime factoring algorithm on a solid state quantum processor. This is really exciting and has never been done before,” said Erik Lucero, lead author of a paper outlining the success of quantum computer factoring.

Shor’s algorithm describes an efficient mathematical approach for integer factorization — the foundation of decryption algorithms. As Wikipedia explains: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor%27s_algorithm)

If a quantum computer with a sufficient number of qubits were to be constructed, Shor’s algorithm could be used to break public-key cryptography schemes such as the widely used RSA scheme. RSA is based on the assumption that factoring large numbers is computationally infeasible. So far as is known, this assumption is valid for classical (non-quantum) computers; no classical algorithm is known that can factor in polynomial time. However, Shor’s algorithm shows that factoring is efficient on a quantum computer, so a sufficiently large quantum computer can break RSA. It was also a powerful motivator for the design and construction of quantum computers and for the study of new quantum computer algorithms.

Andrew Cleland, a physics professor who also worked on the project, added, “We just need to scale up the size of this processor to something much larger.” (http://phys.org/news/2012-08-ucsb-153×5.html)

Imagine a government that can break any code

That “scaling up” will be difficult, but its achievement is only a matter of time. Once it is achieved, this technology will almost certainly be classified as a “matter of national security” and control of the technology will be monopolized by the U.S. government.

The U.S. government, which already behaves like a criminal police state entity which respects no human rights, civil rights or even the Bill of Rights (http://www.naturalnews.com/034537_NDAA_Bill_of_Rights_Obama.html), will no doubt use this technology to expand its domination both domestically and internationally. The U.S. government absolutely despises anyone who leaks its own secrets — witness the attempted arrest and incarceration of Wikileaks’ Julian Assange (http://www.naturalnews.com/036864_Julian_Assange_Wikileaks_speech.htm…) — but the government is deeply interested in everyone else’s secrets, of course.

It is already public knowledge that the U.S. government, via the NSA, is spying on everyone’s email, web traffic, phone calls and search engine activity (http://www.naturalnews.com/036689_NSA_whistleblowers_spying.html). But right now, people and corporations which value privacy use encryption algorithms to send protected files to recipients. Even the common utility WinZip has an encryption component to protect files. (http://www.winzip.com/aes_info.htm)

Once the U.S. government achieves its quantum computer, it will be able to open all encrypted files in mere seconds, reading all the secrets of those who mistakenly think their files are impenetrable. This means citizens and corporations will have no ability to keep secrets from the government in the realm of digital information.

That’s why quantum computing will be used as a weapon by the government itself — a weapon that steals secrets which the government will then use to threaten or blackmail its way into positions of yet more power.

That’s what governments do, after all: Incessantly seek more power at any cost.

The end of VPNs

Another element no one is talking about here is the end of so-called “Virtual Private Networks” or VPNs. These are secure “tunnels” across the internet, where packets of data are passed publicly across the internet, but all such packets are encrypted. For example, I use a VPN to access the NaturalNews.com servers and control the web servers there.

Many corporations use VPNs to allow their employees to “telecommute” by working from home. Even the military uses VPNs throughout its command and control infrastructure.

Prime-factoring quantum computers make VPNs obsolete. There’s nothing “private” about a Virtual Private Network if the U.S. government can decrypt your encryption key in a matter of seconds. Suddenly, what used to be a secret is now being read by intelligence operatives in Langley.

Retroactive decryption

Here’s something else you’ve probably never heard about: This prime-factoring computing power can be applied retroactively to files you or your company might be sending across the internet right now.

You see, the U.S. government is already saving all your emails in a massive storage system… and that data storage is about the take a quantum leap in capacity, if you’ll excuse the pun. A massive NSA “spy hub” is currently under construction in Utah and is expected to be completed by September, 2013. As WIRED reported: (http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/03/ff_nsadatacenter/)

“Under construction by contractors with top-secret clearances, the blandly named Utah Data Center is being built for the National Security Agency. A project of immense secrecy, it is the final piece in a complex puzzle assembled over the past decade. Its purpose: to intercept, decipher, analyze, and store vast swaths of the world’s communications as they zap down from satellites and zip through the underground and undersea cables of international, foreign, and domestic networks. The heavily fortified $2 billion center should be up and running in September 2013. Flowing through its servers and routers and stored in near-bottomless databases will be all forms of communication, including the complete contents of private emails, cell phone calls, and Google searches, as well as all sorts of personal data trails — parking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases, and other digital “pocket litter.” It is, in some measure, the realization of the “total information awareness” program created during the first term of the Bush administration.

Right now, in 2012, the government can’t brute-force decrypt your files because that would take longer than the age of the known universe. But the government can save your files and hold onto them until prime-factoring quantum computers become a reality — something that looks to be only years away. At that point, the government can then retroactively decrypt all the files it has been storing in its NSA data centers.

In other words, all the encrypted files you’re sending around right now — thinking they’re bulletproof in terms of security — will eventually be decrypted by the U.S. government with the help of a soon-to-exist quantum computer.

Right now, then, the government is capturing all email attachments and building a future “decryption queue” of files to be processed once the quantum computers are up and running. The scientists who are working on this project may think they’re advancing the cause of science, but what they’re actually doing is handing one of the world’s most dangerous governments the “ultimate information weapon” that can — and will — be used to crush freedom and dissent.

Prepare for a world with no privacy and no secrets

Imagine a world with no more secrets. That’s what the U.S. government wants. And with the aid of quantum computing, that world may soon become a reality.

We must all now ASSUME that whatever encrypted information or files we send across the internet today will be decrypted by the government within a few years.

Please plan accordingly.
