One of the important steps involved in the purchase of North Carolina mountain homes for sale is shopping for homeowner's insurance. If you're financing the property, the mortgage holder will require that you have a policy. And if you're paying cash, you'll want it for your own protection.
The two primary things to consider when choosing an insurer for your home are (1) price and (1) customer service. You hope never to have to file a claim, but if it happens you want to be treated fairly. Your future neighbors in any of the gated communities near Asheville will be a good source of information regarding which insurers are among the providers of homeowner's insurance NC buyers select most often and why. You can also do research online or call the state insurance department for information.
Try to narrow your list to three companies and then start calling their offices or local agents. Ask what they can do to minimize your costs. But keep in mind that you should never sacrifice quality to save a few dollars. In the event of a loss, you could easily regret making that choice.
How much insurance should you buy? Forget how much you're paying for your home. Make sure your property damage limit is high enough to cover the cost of rebuilding it. Most policies cover replacement cost for the structure, but check to be sure. You need to be compensated for the repair or replacement of damaged property with materials of similar kind and quality without any deduction for depreciation because of age, wear and tear or other factors.
If you're looking at North Carolina mountain homes for sale in areas that are prone to flooding, be sure to ask about the National Flood Insurance Program. Your agent should have the information. Or, you can call the Federal Insurance Administration directly at (800) 638-6620.
The homeowner's insurance NC buyers purchase is likely to be less expensive for a newer home. That's because the structure itself and its electrical system and plumbing will generally be in better condition than those of an older property. The age can mean a difference of five to fifteen per cent in your premium. Another factor that can affect what you pay is the proximity of the home to a hydrant or a fire station. Whether the town has full-time or volunteer fire service can also impact the cost. Did you know The Coves is a certified Firewise Community? This will help with your premiums too.
Your policy will cover the loss of personal property, so be sure to do a strict accounting of what you have and be sure that it's insured to sufficient value. Certain items, such as jewelry, art, furs, silver and home office equipment may require special consideration by the company and have separate restrictions stated in the policy.
Finally, if you have significant assets, be sure that you have a high enough liability limit to protect yourself against accidents that may happen to others on your property.
It's our goal to make the purchase of your home as pleasant and worry-free as possible. As you tour the property, see our magnificent mountain views, and hear about all there is to do here in the year-round mild weather of the Blue Ridge foothills, you'll soon see why so many people have chosen to retire at The Coves Mountain River Club near Lenoir.
While you're here, if our have any questions regarding homeowner's insurance or anything else that's involved with you becoming part of our wonderful mountain community, we'll do our very best to answer them.

The Papal system has several appellations, among them the Papacy, the Church of Rome, the Roman Catholic Church, and Roman Catholicism, the term "catholic" meaning universal. The wickedness and blasphemy of the Papal system is without parallel. Fundamentally, the Papal system is a counterfeit of the true Church. The purpose of the Papal system is subversion of the Christian Faith.
Stupidly proud of the shameful labels "Protestant" and "Judeo-Christian," Protestants generally are ignorant of the debauched pedigree of Papistry and are ignorant of the degree to which the Protestant Faith shares that pedigree.
The Papal system was forged during the Apostolic era by the Talmudic Jew, who always has been and always shall be the great enemy of Christ Jesus, of the Church, and of the Christian Faith. Properly understood, the prefix "Judeo" means "Talmudic." Talmudic Judaism is a gross and hideous perversion of the Faith of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob. There is nothing "Judeo" about the Christian Faith. Indeed, the Christian Faith and the Faith of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob are one and the same.
It is vital to apprehend the fact that the Protestant Faith is not the Christian Faith. Even as Papistry is an offshoot of Talmudic Judaism, so also Protestantism is an offshoot of Papistry; all three are forgeries which share essential doctrine. The Anglican Church (the Church of England, Anglican meaning English) is nothing other than the twin sister of Church of Rome, with the King of England in the role corresponding to that of the Pope.
In his wisdom, the Lord God allowed the Talmudic Jew to devise and implement the Papal system. The intent of the Jew in creating the system was to subvert the Christian Faith; but the Lord utilizes Papistry as an instrument of judgment upon those who reject the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven.
In his second epistle to the Thessalonians, the Apostle Paul speaks of the "Man of Sin" and the "Mystery of Iniquity," saying that the Mystery of Iniquity already is operating. Paul speaks also of a restraint upon the Mystery of Iniquity, adding that the identity of the restraint is known to the Thessalonians, and saying that the restraint eventually is to be removed. Finally, Paul says that, to those who receive not the love of the truth, the Lord God sends strong delusion, so that they believe the lie and are damned. The truth to which Paul refers is the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven.
While contemporary commentators generally interpret the Scripture according to the fantastic Dispensational scheme of Scofield, devout and competent commentators of previous generations, lacking the guidance of Scofield and his Reference Bible, commonly construed the Man of Sin as the Pope and the Mystery of Iniquity as the Church of Rome.
The aptness of the term "iniquity" in the appellation "Mystery of Iniquity" is apparent from secular history, which records the merciless persecution of the true Church by the Papacy. A great number of Christians have been tortured and murdered by the Church of Rome; not a few of them have been burned alive at the stake, some receiving the "mercy" of being strangled to death before the fire was ignited. John Foxe, in his "Book of Martyrs," documents many instances of torture and murder of the Christian at the hand of the Papist. The barbaric cruelty of the Papal institution is part of its Talmudic heritage.
A careful reading of the epistles of Paul and of the Book of Acts reveals that the leader, James, of the Christian assembly at Jerusalem is a false Apostle who constantly is working to subvert the Christian Faith. Commentators commonly refer to this James as "James of Jerusalem"; he obviously is James, the half-brother of Christ Jesus, Matthew 13:55. When James is seen in the Scripture, his behaviour is that which one might expect of a prototype of the Pope.
James of Jerusalem maintained in Jerusalem a pack of zealot Talmudic thugs; with these, James successfully intimidated Peter and the other Apostles, with the exception of Paul. Paul alone withstood James, doing so at a terrible price. The teaching of Scofield and the teaching of the contemporary Protestant Pulpit notwithstanding, it is evident that Paul himself is the restraint which he mentions in his letter to the Thessalonians; not until Paul was taken away by death was the Papal system able to blossom and become dominant.
The role of Paul as the restrainer being obvious, James repeatedly dispatched thugs to assault Paul. Clearly, James is the "messenger of the Adversary" who Paul terms a "thorn in the flesh." On one occasion, the thugs of James battered Paul so severely as to dislodge the eyeballs of Paul from their sockets; it appears that the attackers left off beating Paul only because their victim appeared to be dead; consider Galatians 4:13-15. In all probability, this attempt of James and company to murder Paul is the occasion of the vision of which Paul speaks in II Corinthians chapter 12. Paul indeed may have died in that beating, being revived directly by Lord Jesus; he himself is not sure whether he was dead or unconscious when he experienced the vision, II Corinthians 12:2.
It is the structure of the Papal system, rather than its error, which makes it so deadly. In the Papal system, an earthly authority is dominant over local assemblies. Such an architecture militates against the correction of error. By the design of the Lord Christ, each local assembly of his Church is to be independent, governed by a Shepherd who answers directly and exclusively to the Lord.
The fact that the Papal system, though in a primitive state, was operational before the end of in the Apostolic era is seen in the activity and behaviour of James of Jerusalem. In particular, in a formal meeting in which Apostles including Paul were present, James had the presumption not only to chair the meeting, but also, at the conclusion of the meeting, to direct that a dictum be issued in the name of the assembly to the local assemblies, Acts 15:13-31. Commentators of previous generations have expressed their astonishment at the brazen usurpation of authority by James, who dared dictate to the very Apostles. The fact that Paul did not then and there denounce James and pronounce a curse upon the usurper is explained by the revelation which Paul received from the Lord regarding the Mystery of Iniquity and the Man of Sin; Paul understood that the will of the Lord Jesus was to permit the treachery of James against the Church. Nonetheless, Paul understood that it also was the will of the Lord that he, Paul, continue to resist and expose the machinations of James.
Following the death of Paul, the Papal system rapidly grew in scope and strength, soon resulting in a dramatic transformation in the visible Church. One historian likens the transition to the change of scene in a theatrical production. The curtain of history falls upon a Church comprised of independent local assemblies, each under the care of a Shepherd who answers only to the Great Shepherd, Christ Jesus. When the curtain of history is raised a century later, the visible Church is a hierarchical structure in which the Shepherds of several local assemblies are under the authority of an overseer, and several overseers are under the authority of a superior, and so forth. Eventually the edifice was crowned with the office of Pope.
At that point, the true Church still is in existence, is invisible to historians, for it has been driven underground, out of sight, for the counterfeit is bent upon annihilation of the genuine. One sign of the true Church is that, in describing itself, it stops with the appellation "Christian"; any qualifier beyond the designation "Christian" is an indication that something is amiss. Even as in Christ there is neither Jew nor Gentile, so also in Christ there is neither Baptist nor Presbyterian; Christ is not divided, I Corinthians 1:13.
Protestant teachers assert that, over a span of roughly fourteen centuries, the Church fell into error, and remained in error until the flames of the Protestant Reformation were kindled by Martin Luther. But such an assertion accords legitimacy to the Papal institution. Curiously, the same teachers, looking at the current error within Protestantism, argue that the Reformation is incomplete, and should be re-kindled.
But such assertions regarding centuries of error are blasphemous; the Lord Jesus does not abandon his sheep, allowing generation after generation to stumble blindly in error. The simple fact of the matter is that the Papal institution is illegitimate and never was in possession of the truth. Moreover, that which is illegitimate (which is to say, that which is not of the Lord), the Lord is not going to "reform." The sheep which are mired in the false doctrines of Papistry have not been abandoned by Jesus, for they are not his sheep, nor is the Lord God their father; they are of the same category as the Talmudic Jews who opposed the incarnate Christ Jesus; consider John chapter 8.
The Protestant Reformers were not successful in reforming the great whore of Papistry, for they set out on a Fool's Errand. In the first place, the Lord God does not reform false religions; rather, the Lord commands his people to come out and be separate, after which he destroys that which is false. In the second place, the Scripture plainly declares that the destiny of the whore is destruction, which shall take place at the coming of Jesus to resurrect the Justified. The Reformers should have separated themselves from the Papal institution and sought out assemblies of the true Church; instead, the Reformers stupidly served in the role of midwife, assisting the whore in giving birth to a number of daughters, namely, the Protestant denominations of the present day.
(1) Abnegating his responsibility to ascertain for himself the canonicity of documents which purport to be Scripture, the Protestant places his trust in the pronouncements of the so-called "Church Councils." Because of this combination of nonfeasance and misplaced trust, the Protestants generally venerate as canonical several books which have no rightful place in the Canon of Scripture. The books are the Book of Esther, the Book of James, the Book of Revelation, the Book of Jude, and the Second Book of Peter. The Protestant Faith rests to a large degree on the false teaching of these spurious books.
(2) Papistry holds to many fantastic and absurd concepts which ultimately have their origin in Talmudic Judaism. Rather than diligently searching the Scripture in order to challenge and demolish those false concepts, the Protestant has embraced them and has founded his Faith upon them. Thus it is that concepts such as fallen angels, the immortal Soul, everlasting torture in Hell, and conscious existence after death, apart from the Resurrection are fundamental to the Protestant Faith.

I wanted to start the thread for the little helper boss event quest. And also ask a question about this type I quest line.
The first daily guild quest asks to kill 50 bosses. Wat happens to your kills, if ur guild kills the 50 for the first daily and then there is 5 hours left still for te next daily. Also if u killed 10 bosses on the first daily will that count be added to te next daily quest ?
If you are higher than lvl25-30 there is no chance to kill 100 bosses. For me as lvl114 can kill 20-25 bosses, maximimun without gems.
I personally dont like the way this event is made.
It's 7 days, just like last time.
anyone know what the day amounts will be yet? would be nice to plan it out for my guild but 50 kills is such a low amount..... I don't think any have started out this low. my thought is that it will be 50, 100, 250, 450, 500, 500. What do you guys think?
Alucard numbers make sense except if it's a seven day event then why only six numbers. Are you saying the seventh day would be 500 as well?
@ Everyone Thanks For your responses folks, that clears things up.
A Guildie of mine is asking if its possible to restart from scratch on a device that already has the game and been played on it. Anyone know ?
Hey I know . I got bored waiting for the next guild quest to start and no point making a new thread.
The event started at an unusual time, what time of day will the next "day" begin?
Im not 100% sure, but just deleting and reinstall wont give you the opportunity to start over. I had to reset my device from scratch to start over.
in 10 hours and 42 minutes from now.
on that note, Gree wasnt the boss hard enough already? lvl 5 had double the hp from last time!
"Im not 100% sure, but just deleting and reinstall wont give you the opportunity to start over. I had to reset my device from scratch to start over."
Factory Reset from Itunes Should do it then?
8 AM GMT is starting time for the daily guild quest.
What a stupid time; it's no wonder I've missed both of them so haven't killed any bosses yet. Most people in the States will be asleep, most people in Europe will be either at work, or travelling to. Good for Aussies & Asian players I guess though.
Does it matter if you contribute to the first 2? You still got the units, right? There will be a time for you to start killing, then your contributions will count. The only wasted ones will be the ones done without the GQ active.
To me it does, because both my accounts are well above level 100, and I find it a real struggle to get my HLP to level 45 even - with the last couple of old style bosses getting to 50 was relatively straightforward - so I've now lost 2 days of the event.
I dont like these daily quests at all. Make it like the box collect gltq. Once you finish one stage the next one shows up. The way they do it now is boring. End up sitting around doing nothing for the first few days.
Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated and we will return the favor. Happy Holidays!
ITA! Not to mention that with them suddenly starting this the opposite time of day/night as normal, the quest was finished for Days 1 and 2 before I even woke for the day!
Sux, but now I know how the other half of the world felt before. My question is that it used to 12 pm GMT-8 because Funzio was in California, and then when GREE bought it they had an office here. I wonder if they pulled out of the USA? And if it was for fear of lawsuits with California being such an easy place to sue?
5/7 needed for large unit bonus.
I believe the only kingdoms able to make a run at the 100, are LLK, this <40. But we do have some mega powers out there under 100 so.... Maybe.... That's free btw.
GREE has engaged events at 00:00 PST USA in the past, so I wasn't surprised, but like most, when I woke up, the first day was over. I spoke with my guild and explained the necessity of quota hitting and using the 24hr clock. Day two was perfect.
They still have a office in the US, if one ever needs there contact info it is on gree's corporate web site. They also have links to game support listed there.
I believe the SF office was closed fairly recently. Would need to check that out of course.

Rothschilds kicked out of Russia and Japan as world revolution unfolds
A world revolution is unfolding with historical events taking place in Africa, China, France, Japan, Russia, and elsewhere as the old planetary control grid continues to collapse, multiple sources agree.
Let's start with the revolution that was announced in Russia last week. Basically, David Rothschild was kicked out and the Russian central bank was nationalized, which is why half the government was fired, FSB sources tell us. Here's what our FSB sources have to say on the subject:
"It was supposed to start back in November 2019 when Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was killed at FSB headquarters, but due to the presence in the country of a huge number of the richest Jews in the world (the Rothschilds, Sheldon Adelson, etc.), this operation was postponed.
"Then at the end of December, half of our money was given to one structure, which organized this sudden 'departure' of Jewish Premier Medvedev. This structure will oversee various ministries and all new ministers will be appointed under its supervision.
"On January 16th, President [Herman] Gref of Federal Central Bank Sberbank got so drunk with grief that he was taken to the Odintsovo Hospital suffering from acute alcohol poisoning. That is why he suddenly cancelled his speech at the Gaidar Forum."
https://en.gaidarforum.ru/
On January 18th, Gref told Tass News, "We should brace for the collapse of the existing world order. It will be very painful."
https://tass.com/top-officials/1043741
The FSB sources also report that when Elvira Nabiullina, the head of the Russian central bank, was fired last week, all cellphones of central bank employees were confiscated and a huge stash of documents was seized.
One other thing they reported to us was that Yevgeny Zinichev, "the head of the Ministry of Emergencies, will become the head of the FSB, but this will also not be for long."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yevgeny_Zinichev
The P3 Freemasons, who report a lot of very weird stuff, tell us the Medvedev who was removed was actually an "an alien."
Rothschild-slave President Emmanuel Macron of France is also under siege. He was forced to flee for his life from a theater last week amid rioting that has gone on now for over a year. A new French revolution is coming, French resistance sources promise.
Equally dramatic, if less public, events were going on in Japan last week. A first cousin of former Emperor Hirohito tells us the Bank of Japan has been nationalized and the Rothschilds as well as the Rockefellers have been removed from control of this country.
British royal family sources confirm this and say that Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako have been invited to the UK this spring where, among other things, they will discuss the creation of a world future planning agency.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-royals-japan/japanese-emperor-to-make-state-visit-to-united-kingdom-idUSKBN1ZD0LK
Representatives of the P3 Freemasons, the British Commonwealth, and Asian secret societies are planning to meet in London, possibly in February, to discuss the creation of this agency. They will also discuss preparations for human colonization of space, P3 sources say.
https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2020/01/space-force-trump/604951/
The initial agreement is that the planning agency will be headed by a committee of seven with decisions made by majority vote, according to a source involved in the negotiations. The seven will include one representative each from Africa, the Americas (North and South), Asia outside of China, China, Europe including Russia, India, and the Muslim world. Vetoes would be limited to the region making it. So, for example, if the world decided to ban pork, the Chinese could veto that and continue to eat pork in China.
Speaking about pork and China, CIA sources in Asia say a major offensive is underway against that country. "The Western media is not discussing the slaughter there of several hundred million pigs due to the outbreak of the new strain of African swine flu virus (created in vitro, of course)," one source says, noting:
"Pork is the main food of the Chinese. It is consumed every day. America cannot replace the lost pork from the massive slaughter. You can imagine what will happen to the Chinese people without pork, which is their main source of protein. This is being kept very quiet for obvious reasons. China had half of the world's supply of pigs with a population of more than 700 million pigs. This provides the main source of protein for 1.3 billion people."
The sources also told us the following:
"Xi Jinping and his cronies are behind the protesting in Hong Kong. His plan is to bring down HK and turn Macau and Shanghai into the new financial centers. China has been financing the protesters since the beginning.
"HSBC is in the process of moving their regional headquarters to Singapore.
"The Chinese government is planning on canceling all leases that were made with the UK, meaning they will take over the land and buildings in HK. They are also planning on canceling the HK dollar and will allow up to 6 months for all HK dollars to be exchanged for Yuan. As you can see, China is going to destroy Hong Kong. They will of course shoot themselves in the foot, so to speak, as HK is their connection to money from the West. China will implode from within."
Furthermore, the source says:
"China has been kicked out of Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam. They are no longer wanted or needed. The same is true in Australia. The Aussies have had enough."
The U.S. also carried out a sophisticated attack on China via Japan, according to Japanese military intelligence sources. This was seen in the news as a fight between South Korea and Japan over historical issues. In reality, though, it was a pretense to stop Japanese exports of key semiconductor manufacturing equipment to South Korea. This in turn had the effect of shutting down the Chinese semiconductor industry, the sources say.
A new soft power struggle is also going on with the Chinese over Africa. An example is this disinformation being sent (presumably by the Chinese) about a British-led summit about Africa. According to this disinformation:
"Organized by Boris Johnson, this summit will host many heads of state and government leaders, companies, international institutions, international spy organizations of espionage and counter-espionage, and secret societies to present investment opportunities in Africa and to discuss implementation of the New World Order. It will feature a discussion by the supreme committee entitled "melanin and the control of black people."
The actual summit summary published by the British government reads as follows:
"The Summit will be hosted by the Prime Minister and will bring together businesses, governments and international institutions to showcase and promote the breadth and quality of investment opportunities across Africa. The Summit will strengthen the UK's partnership with African nations to build a secure and prosperous future for all our citizens. It will mobilize new and substantial investment to create jobs and boost mutual prosperity."
https://www.gov.uk/government/topical-events/uk-africa-investment-summit-2020/about
In other words, we are finally seeing a Western answer to the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative.
In any case, Chinese Freemasons, for their part, say that talk of a Chinese implosion has been around for decades and has always proven to be wrong. They say time is on their side because they have a superior system of governance and economic management, so they will continue to grow faster than the West.
The Chinese are also now taking the lead on environmental protection, the sources say. Recent news items backing this up include Chinese plans to ban single-use plastic and a ten-year fishing moratorium on the Yangtze.
https://in.reuters.com/article/china-environment-plastic-idINKBN1ZI0MR?utm_source=reddit.com
http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2020-01/02/c_138672069.htm
The offensive against China is taking place in the context of a still-unfolding collapse of the U.S. Corporate government in Washington, D.C. The regime there is paralyzed by infighting and staged events. The latest is a gathering in Virginia featuring crisis actors, gun lobbyists, goons, undercover cops, citizen journalists, etc. There is also a fake impeachment show going on against U.S. President Donald Trump.
The fake show distracts from the very real crimes of the end-times evangelicals who now surround President Trump. We are talking, for example, of the recent attempt to start World War 3 in Iran with the murder of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani and the shooting down of a Ukrainian civilian aircraft.
The fact that the plane was remotely hijacked and flown towards an Iranian military base—a clear war crime—is now being reported by mainstream news outlets.
https://ahtribune.com/world/north-africa-south-west-asia/iran/3818-who-targeted-ukraine-airlines-flight-752.html
Also, in a sign of a real break in the Anglo world, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is blaming the U.S. for downing the Ukrainian airliner. This is happening as UK Defense Minister Ben Wallace says his country is ending its military alliance with the Trump regime.

Pentagon sources too are making it clear they are tired of the political hacks in Washington, D.C. For example, the sources note that "In a rebuke to former presidents, the Navy decided to name its newest carrier after an African-American sailor instead of Bush Jr., Clinton, or Obama."
The Pentagon is also sick and tired of fighting as an Israeli proxy in the Middle East, the sources say. "Congress is livid that the death toll from Iran's missile strikes on U.S. bases in Iraq is at least 139, making troop withdrawal an election issue," they say.
A clear sign of how rogue the U.S. regime has become was when Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said, "The destruction of Soleimani is an example of a new U.S. strategy aimed at deterring its opponents. This applies equally to Iran, China, and Russia." Someone should point out to Pompeo that assassination is a two-way street.
https://www.veteranstoday.com/2020/01/17/lunatic-pompeo-threatens-putin-with-drone-assassination/
The Trump regime is also doing things like threatening Europe and pulling out of NATO military exercises.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/16/iran-says-it-is-enriching-more-uranium-than-before-nuclear-deal
Finally, we are hearing increasingly credible information about battles taking place in deep underground bases from multiple sources. First take a look at the seismographs from an Indian underground nuclear test versus those from a natural earthquake.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/confederateyankee/265119334/
The recent earthquakes in Puerto Rico, around the China Lake underground bases in Nevada and California, in Kumamoto, Japan, etc. all bear the signs of artificial earthquakes.
Multiple sources tell us they have found children in cages and other horrors in some of these bases that are now being taken over or destroyed by the white hats. Japanese sources tell us that 14,000 Japanese children were being sold each year to the Khazarian mafia. FBI statistics show that 40,000 children go missing each year in the U.S. Many of them are now being rescued from cages in underground bases, Pentagon sources say. The 38-minute video at the link below provides good background information on this no longer very secret war.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=F0NEd9gEHFs&feature=emb_title
On a final note, we were told by our Antarctica sources that what is happening now on the surface of the planet is much more important. We were promised more information about this subject at a later date.

Is the new 'deadly China virus' a covert operation?
NEW VIRUS IN CHINA. WATCH OUT. SPREADING. ANIMALS TO HUMANS? PANDEMIC COMING UP? OBEY MEDICAL AUTHORITIES. ALL HANDS ON DECK. CENTERED IN WUHAN. CITY OF 11 MILLION. WILL THEY QUARANTINE AND SHUT DOWN HONG KONG? TRAVELERS WITH THE VIRUS GETTING THROUGH TO EUROPE AND AMERICA? WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE VIRUS? 2019-nCOV or nCoV2019. WHAT? THANK GOD THE CHINESE ARE UNDER A TIGHT DICTATORSHIP, THEY CAN CRACK DOWN AND QUARANTINE ANYBODY ON A WHIM. IF YOUR BODY TEMPERATURE IS ELEVATED ON A TEST, THEY STOP YOU? WOW. WE MAY NEED THAT IN THE USA, AS LONG AS THEY DON'T STOP ME. IMPEACHMENT? FORGET THAT, IT'S THE VIRUS.
In the 19 years of this website, the one story I've researched and covered more than any other is the DEADLY VIRUS hustle. SARS, Swine Flu, Ebola, etc.
Now, we have a new one. The possible maybe CORONAVIRUS from China.
In each case of these could-be killers, we have an official warning. "This could be the big one." Millions of people could fall ill and die. In each case, there are travelers. "People returning from X have the virus and they are spreading it." In the case of SARS and Swine Flu, the patients' symptoms were typical "flu" symptoms: fever, fatigue, cough, weakness. In other words, there was no reason to think the "new disease" was any different from ordinary traditional illness.
The big and only difference is the claim that researchers have found a new virus as the cause of illness.
But in each case, there are serious problems with that claim.
First, only "official researchers" are involved with the "discovery" of the new virus. There is no confirmation from independent researchers. For example, in the case of SARS (2003), ten labs belonging to the World Health Organization (WHO) performed the "discovery" of that coronavirus. They were connected through closed circuit—no outsiders allowed.
Eventually, a Canadian biologist working for WHO, Frank Plummer, told the press he was quite puzzled by what he was seeing: more and more SARS patients didn't have the SARS virus at all. In fact, almost no new SARS patients had the virus. Well, when you stop and think about that ridiculous state of affairs, you realize you can't say a person, with ordinary flu-like symptoms, is suffering from a new disease if he doesn't have the cause of that disease. But the mainstream press took no notice of this and moved on.
In the case of the Swine Flu "epidemic" (2009), the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) was reporting thousands of cases in America—but CBS star reporter Sharyl Attkisson found out that the CDC had, mysteriously, stopped counting cases. How could this be? She came up with the devastating answer. The overwhelming percentage of blood tests on Swine Flu patients were coming back from labs with no sign of the Swine Flu virus or any other flu virus. That story ran on the CBS News site, but as Attkisson told me in an interview, the bosses at CBS wouldn't allow it on the national television news broadcast. Censored. And that was the end of the CBS exposure of the Swine Flu hoax. Yet, as I reported: about three weeks after CBS shut down the story, WebMD ran a piece in which the CDC estimated there were 22 MILLION cases of Swine Flu in the US. If your head is spinning, it should be.
The second major problem with the announcement of a "new disease" or an epidemic is the absence of research on what we could call the "infection factor." Let me explain. To even begin to say a particular germ is causing a particular disease, you have to prove the germ is present in a patient's body IN GREAT NUMBERS. A few little viral particles floating around here and there are irrelevant. You need millions. So if an ignorant doctor or a researcher states, "Well, this patient has the coronavirus so he has the disease," he's falling far short of proving anything useful. Where are the tests proving the patient has millions of the virus in his body? Nowhere.
The third major problem with the announcement of a "new disease" or an epidemic is the "test factor." What test is being run on a patient to prove he has the "new virus" in his body? Most of the time, it is an antibody test. Stay with me here, this is important. Prior to 1984, it was generally recognized that a positive antibody test was a good outcome. In short, it indicated that the patient's immune system had come in contact with a germ and successfully defeated it. But then, for several reasons, this science was turned on its head. A positive antibody test, from that time on, was evidence that the patient currently had the disease in question. Boom. Now, disease numbers could easily be inflated. And they were. And they are.
Automatically assuming that the announcement of a possible epidemic is accurate—well, it's a major mistake, to say the least.
The CDC and WHO are operated by virus hunters. Running a new virus up the flagpole is their stock in trade. They rush to an area where an "outbreak" has been announced, and they roll up their sleeves and look for the virus. They pay no attention to environmental factors, such as contaminated water supplies or toxic chemicals or malnutrition or lack of basic sanitation.
Epidemics are good for business. Pharmaceutical business, inducing fear business, shutting down travel business, diverting the public from key events business, surveillance and quarantine business, and so on.
I'm sure, at some point, there will be THANK YOU, CHINA, BUSINESS, too. Thank you, China, for your rule by iron fist over the population. Your ability to stop anyone for any reason and test for "the virus" may have saved the planet from an extinction event. Freedom? Forget it. Public safety is the ace in the deck. It wins every time. Hell, we may need a good epidemic in the US, so we can exert more control over the unruly citizenry. The doctor is king. Do what he says. Always. How many vaccines are there now? Take all of them. Everyone must.
Nineteen years ago, when I started this website, I told you that, of all the cartels in this world, the most important and powerful one, long-term, was the medical cartel. Nothing since that time has changed my mind.

Has Asia's Third-Largest Economy Just Slipped Into a Downward Spiral?
New Delhi (Sputnik): The Indian economy, which is currently battered from all sides, is unlikely to see any quick revival, believes the Indian finance ministry. All the recent macro-economic data reveal that the economic slowdown in India is only deepening by the day and there is no respite in sight.
"It is too early to say if the slowdown in the economy has bottomed out. Also, it is too early to say whether Asia's third-largest economy would be able to stick to its fiscal deficit targets," said a top source in the Indian finance ministry.
The statement came against the backdrop of subdued economic activity in July-September, which clearly indicated that the slowdown has actually intensified in comparison to last year.
The impact was seen on country's growth numbers in the second quarter of 2019 and also other macro data. Domestic car sales fell by 37 percent in the third quarter year-on-year, indicating weakness in a sector which provides a considerable amount of employment. Additionally, Indian Railways' passenger rail traffic witnessed negative growth (-2.1percent) in the third quarter.
Stirrings were also felt in the financial sector, where bank lending to industry grew only 2.7 percent year-on-year in the third quarter, compared with 6.5 percent in the prior quarter. Home sales also indicated a sizeable inventory in the economy; i.e. people are not purchasing homes as fast as builders are building them. The number of unsold homes in the country totals over 1.3 million according to Liases Foras, a real estate research firm, 7.2% higher than last year.
D K Srivastava, Chief Policy Advisor at EY India, said, "There is a broad-based sharp contraction in India's imports in October 2019, confirming a demand slowdown. The three most important sectors for imports, namely petroleum goods including crude, electronic goods, and electrical and non-electrical machinery, indicate a fall in demand for consumer durables."
The trade data released by the government on Friday shows declining imports, thereby indicating a subdued demand. India's exports during April-October dipped by 2.21 percent to $185.95 billion.
Factors behind Slowdown
The Indian macro-economic crisis began with the financial sector last year, and led to a liquidity crunch, thereby jeopardising investments. The other factor that led to the slowdown is a massive fall in consumption growth and the trade war inflicted upon India by the United States.
Most economists blamed demonetisation and indirect tax reforms (GST) for the liquidity crisis in India. These two developments have stopped the use of informal business funds, including trade credit, which Indian businessmen in the informal sector (which constitutes 90 percent of the economy) had been using to expand their businesses. Since this informal credit routes stopped, consumption witnessed a sharp fall and thereby impacted private investments.
These disturbing facts are now reflected in deceleration in savings (35 percent in 2011-12 to below 30 percent in 2018-19) and investment rates (39 percent in 2011-12 to 29 per cent in 2018-19).
Further, amid growing protectionism around the world and US attempt to balance the trade also made negative impact on India. The Trump administration withdrew incentives to $6.3 billion of Indian exports under the Generalised System of preferences programme from June this year. GSP withdrawal impacted sectors like chemicals, engineering goods, leather, and gems and jewellery which are employing millions of India's labour force. Trade wars also disturbed the predictability around the globe and thereby companies are avoiding their investment plan in this unpredictable environment.
Booster Dose
The Indian government has taken a number of steps to revive the economy. One of the most significant measures has been the announcement of corporate tax cuts, apart from incentives to foreign institutional investors, to boost the housing sector.
However, experts are of the opinion that demand side measures need to be taken to boost the economy. "The need of the hour is policy intervention to address and enhance consumption demand. As of now, income is not growing, jobs are not getting created and therefore the incremental demand is not there," said Sunil Sinha, director of public finance at India Ratings.
Worse than the 2008 Financial Crisis
India's economy may be staring at its worst second-quarter GDP deceleration since the 2008-09 global financial slowdown, triggered by the Lehman crisis. India's slowdown has been caused by a slump in its non-banking finance sector, led by the fall of IL and FS last year, which triggered a liquidity crisis, leaving the government unable to spend due to fiscal constraints, and the private sector unable to invest due to high lending costs as well as overall poor sentiment.
During the 2008 crisis, the Indian government stepped up with massive spending in the rural economy through various schemes including loan waivers of around $15 billion to farmers. These steps boosted consumption and revived the economy by as early as 2010. However, the rural economy- the backbone of India's sustained growth for years, wasn't able to withstand the shock it received in the form of demonetisation in 2016, when the government revoked 86 percent of large denominations currency notes to curb the black money. A media report citing government data claimed that consumer spending fell for the first time in more than four decades in 2017-18.
India's gross domestic product (GDP) growth fell to a six-year-low of 5% in the second quarter compared with an impressive 8.2% in the same quarter of the previous financial year. The Indian index of industrial production (IIP), which gauges the health of factory output tanked in the months of August and September. IIP contracted 4.3% year-on-year in September, its lowest in almost eight years. The decline was steeper than the 1.4% dip in August of this year.
Road Ahead
The upcoming months are unlikely to bring any cheer, with India's largest public sector lender, the State Bank of India, predicting below-5% GDP growth in the third quarter. Other institutions too have lowered Indian growth projections for the current financial year.
India's central bank, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) downgraded its Indian economic growth projection by the biggest cut in its forecast in at least five years to 6.1% this year. The International Monetary Fund, too has slashed its Indian economic growth forecast for 2019-20 to 6.1% from its July projection of 7%, citing a weaker-than-expected outlook for domestic demand.

The recent events orchestrated by the U.S. government in Iran have backfired in a major way and the repercussions have only just begun, multiple sources agree. The worst result has been to force the British and the rest of the Anglo-Saxon world away from their alliance with the U.S. under its current administration, MI6 sources say. "Whatever happened should never have happened, and the Western powers need to vacate the Muslim world and contain Israel," the sources say.
Even the Israelis are waking up to the dangers of the Evangelical Christian nut jobs they created, Mossad sources agree.

Of course, the rest of the world already views the U.S. as a pariah state, so now U.S. President Donald Trump is totally isolated on the world stage.
Before we go further into the fallout, let us summarize exactly what happened. Basically, it was yet another attempt to start World War 3 by the Messianic Jewish crazies who, for simplicity's sake, we will call the Zionists. This time they orchestrated an escalating series of events in a vain effort to get their long-awaited Armageddon by:
-Murdering an American contractor in Iraq and blaming it on the Iranians.
-Convincing or blackmailing Trump into a disproportionate response.
-Getting their Iranian agents and brainwashed dupes to riot at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
-Forcing Trump to commit a war crime by murdering Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.
-Remotely hijacking a Ukrainian airliner and flying it with transponders off towards an Iranian military base to fool the Iranians into shooting it down. (For those readers who do not yet realize this, in the late 1990's the U.S. had remote hijacking equipment installed in all civilian airliners, supposedly as an anti-hijacking measure. This ability has been repeatedly abused for political purposes by the Khazarian mafia).
-Now they are trying, and failing, to orchestrate regime change in Iran. Instead, though, this botched operation has succeeded in waking up a critical mass within the Western intelligence/military community to the fact the U.S. government has been hijacked by a fanatical cult that is trying to start WW3.
That is why the UK Defense minister Ben Wallace publicly announced his country was breaking away from its military alliance with the U.S.
There has also been a huge pushback by saner minds in the U.S. military-industrial establishment against the end-times fanatics centered around presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner and his Chabad cult. For example, U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper publicly denied claims by Trump that Iran was planning to attack U.S. embassies.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iraq-security-usa/pentagon-chief-says-no-specific-evidence-iran-was-plotting-to-attack-four-us-embassies-idUSKBN1ZB0KM
Pentagon sources say, "Despite the rhetoric, Trump has no choice but to pull U.S. troops out of Syraq, and eventually the Middle East."
The reason Trump has no choice is, among other things, financial. The U.S. has wasted over 7 trillion dollars on endless war in the region and is now running out of money. This is the $7 trillion, by the way, that the Japanese were hoping to spend on ending poverty and stopping environmental destruction before the U.S. regime stole it from them.
There was a meeting between a representative of the White Dragon Society (WDS) and a senior Asian secret society leader last week to discuss, among other things, a plan for the bankruptcy reorganization of the U.S.
The plan calls for the U.S. military-industrial complex to provide hitherto hidden technology to the Asians in exchange for financial support for rebuilding the U.S. economy, WDS sources say.
The Asians, for their part, are wary of making deals with any European peoples because so many promises have been broken by them in the past. This is the result of past actions of Jewish supremacists who believe it's okay to deceive and cheat Goyim. You reap what you sow.
The WDS pointed out that Western civilization had a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde aspect to it, and the key was in making deals with the good side of the West. It was explained to them that it was true that Asia, especially China, had experienced many humiliations and betrayals by the West. However, it was also true that while the West has long had the technical capability to kill all the Chinese, instead they transferred technology, industry, and know-how to them to help them develop and modernize.
The meeting also revealed there was a significant faction in the Chinese power structure who actually believe the Zionist nonsense that WW3 is needed in order to bring on a one world government and a one world religion. They were warned that this was a Zionist trap intended to kill 90% of the world's population and enslave the rest.
As an alternative, the WDS proposed that Canada and the rest of the Anglo-Saxon world be given a chance to help restore the U.S. system to peace and sanity. It was pointed out that England and Canada have historically kept their promises and acted with honour.
The discussions will continue, but the chances for world peace are now much higher now than the chances for World War. A higher-level meeting between representatives of the British Commonwealth, the P3 (the Romans or the Vatican), and the Asians has been proposed. We are now awaiting an answer from the Asians. The discussions will continue in February with the start of the Chinese New Year, the Asian side says.
In the meantime, expect more Zionist provocations in the South China Sea, North Korea, Africa, etc., none of which will achieve their goal of WW3.
There will also be a continuation of assassinations and sudden deaths of Zionist leaders, Pentagon and other sources promise. "Not lost in the Iran news cycle is the death of Zionist former longtime NBA Commissioner David Stern, and the death of Jewish LA billionaire Ron Burkle's son. Burkle was a guest on the Lolita Express, a Democratic fundraiser, and a friend of billary [Bill and Hillary Clinton] and Epstein," the sources note. "David Koch expired last August, and other billionaires on Epstein flight logs are Steven Spielberg, Tom Pritzker, Glenn Dubin, and Oprah Winfrey," they add.
The ancient Iran-based cult of assassins is undoubtedly going to avenge the murder of Soleimani. In the past, one of their assassins explained to this writer how they carefully infiltrate the households and families of their targets before making their move when it is least expected. Trump should have listened to the advice I once gave to a representative of North Korea's Kim Jong-Un: "The best way to avoid assassination is to not make enemies."
Speaking about avoiding assassination, Prince Harry of the UK has now come out publicly to say he fled to Canada to save his family from the same fate that befell his mother, Princess Diana.
https://twitter.com/aselfishhun/status/1215540281103331328?s=21&fbclid=IwAR1qmpVAVOLQO629fPt-20eEgycgJvce_Tt1HA1PXnCrDQww0P_7WnN2Wlk
Here is what a European royal had to say about the situation: "The whole thing is a disgrace and infuriating to us all. If the monarchy carries on like this, the people will show it the door. The matter will be managed carefully and correctly," the source said. However, it is already certain that Prince Charles will never succeed to the throne of England, he said. The Gnostic Illuminati, who oppose bloodline rule, will for their part try to exploit this situation to overthrow the British Monarchy. Given the huge popular support in the UK for this institution, they will probably fail, but in the meantime, the tabloids will have a feast.
Whatever trouble occurs in England, however, will be minor compared to what is happening in France. President Emmanuel Macron has been forced by large-scale demonstrations and strikes to back down on his plans to steal pension money from his people. However, the French are aware he stole the election that put him in power and that he does not work for the French people. Since French living standards are continuing to plummet, his regime will not be able to stabilize the situation. It's time for the French generals to take action before it is too late.
Another nation that might experience big change soon is Japan. The country's population is vanishing at the rate of 500,000 people per year. This is because nobody wants to have children in a land whose future has been hijacked by Zionist gangsters. The cabinet of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is filled, according to insiders, with low-IQ morons. The result is that Japanese living standards are plunging and the country is filled with impoverished elderly people.
A sign of how incompetent the Japanese government is came with the entire saga surrounding the arrest and escape of former Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn. Several sources say the real reason Ghosn was persecuted was that he was planning to steal military secrets from Abe's sponsors in Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. If that was the case, they should have come out and said that. Instead, they fabricated ambiguous charges and made an international mockery of Japan's justice system.
Japan's police, in line with the U.S. and Japanese armed forces, are preparing to take power away from the Zionists and return it to the country's still-talented, albeit leaderless bureaucrats, according to right-wing sources close to the new Emperor.
On a final note this week, we are once again hearing rumblings about Antarctica and disclosure. A WDS envoy has been sent to meet a representative of the groups operating in Antarctica. We hope to have something to report about this next week.
The Antarctic Atlantis [MUST SEE LIVE DISCLOSURE!]
Many lands saw Zarathustra, and many peoples: thus he discovered the good and bad of many peoples. No greater power did Zarathustra find on earth than good and bad.
No people could live without first valuing; if a people will maintain itself, however, it must not value as its neighbour valueth.
Much that passed for good with one people was regarded with scorn and contempt by another: thus I found it. Much found I here called bad, which was there decked with purple honours.
Never did the one neighbour understand the other: ever did his soul marvel at his neighbour's delusion and wickedness.
A table of excellencies hangeth over every people. Lo! it is the table of their triumphs; lo! it is the voice of their Will to Power.
It is laudable, what they think hard; what is indispensable and hard they call good; and what relieveth in the direst distress, the unique and hardest of all,—they extol as holy.
Whatever maketh them rule and conquer and shine, to the dismay and envy of their neighbours, they regard as the high and foremost thing, the test and the meaning of all else.
Verily, my brother, if thou knewest but a people's need, its land, its sky, and its neighbour, then wouldst thou divine the law of its surmountings, and why it climbeth up that ladder to its hope.
"Always shalt thou be the foremost and prominent above others: no one shall thy jealous soul love, except a friend"—that made the soul of a Greek thrill: thereby went he his way to greatness.
"To speak truth, and be skilful with bow and arrow"—so seemed it alike pleasing and hard to the people from whom cometh my name—the name which is alike pleasing and hard to me.
"To honour father and mother, and from the root of the soul to do their will"—this table of surmounting hung another people over them, and became powerful and permanent thereby.
"To have fidelity, and for the sake of fidelity to risk honour and blood, even in evil and dangerous courses"—teaching itself so, another people mastered itself, and thus mastering itself, became pregnant and heavy with great hopes.
Verily, men have given unto themselves all their good and bad. Verily, they took it not, they found it not, it came not unto them as a voice from heaven.
Values did man only assign to things in order to maintain himself—he created only the significance of things, a human significance! Therefore, calleth he himself "man," that is, the valuator.
Valuing is creating: hear it, ye creating ones! Valuation itself is the treasure and jewel of the valued things.
Through valuation only is there value; and without valuation the nut of existence would be hollow. Hear it, ye creating ones!
Change of values—that is, change of the creating ones. Always doth he destroy who hath to be a creator.
Creating ones were first of all peoples, and only in late times individuals; verily, the individual himself is still the latest creation.
Peoples once hung over them tables of the good. Love which would rule and love which would obey, created for themselves such tables.
Older is the pleasure in the herd than the pleasure in the ego: and as long as the good conscience is for the herd, the bad conscience only saith: ego.
Verily, the crafty ego, the loveless one, that seeketh its advantage in the advantage of many—it is not the origin of the herd, but its ruin.
Loving ones, was it always, and creating ones, that created good and bad. Fire of love gloweth in the names of all the virtues, and fire of wrath.
Many lands saw Zarathustra, and many peoples: no greater power did Zarathustra find on earth than the creations of the loving ones—"good" and "bad" are they called.
Verily, a prodigy is this power of praising and blaming. Tell me, ye brethren, who will master it for me? Who will put a fetter upon the thousand necks of this animal?
A thousand goals have there been hitherto, for a thousand peoples have there been. Only the fetter for the thousand necks is still lacking; there is lacking the one goal. As yet humanity hath not a goal.
But pray tell me, my brethren, if the goal of humanity be still lacking, is there not also still lacking—humanity itself?—

Netanyahu has only been so successful because he reflects and represents the many faces of Israel: victor and victim, global citizen and international outcast, pyromaniac and war-shy.
While writing his 1953 breakout novel Lucky Jim, Kingsley Amis consulted with his best friend and inspiration for the main character, Jim Dixon. "'How many Dixon faces do you think there ought to be?" Amis wrote. "I mean a lot, 10 or so, or just 3 or 4?'" The reply is not extant, but Keith Gessen, in his 2012 introduction, relates that "it must have been a lot," and he lists some of Dixon's looks: the "'shot in the back face,' his 'tragic-mask face,' his 'crazy peasant face.'"
I was reminded of this when considering how to summarize the legacy of Benjamin Netanyahu after more than 13 cumulative years in power. I have written many political analysis articles about him, a meta-analysis article analyzing his policy legacy on the conflict, economy, society, and I have unpacked his foreign policy. Other people have documented his life in a biography and a documentary film. But what is he? King Bibi, populist Bibi, global citizen or international outcast? Is he a pyromaniac or war-shy, corrupt or clean, victor or victim?
Like Israel itself, Bibi is all of these things. I can't know his mind, but as a psychologist of the public domain, it dawned on me that most of Bibi's faces have some parallel in Israeli state and society. Similarly, many of his policies began long before he returned to power and will continue long after he's gone. Failure to recognize that won't help the opposition. Netanyahu has been so successful because he reflects and represents many faces of Israel.
Take his "us against the world" face. In these moments, he holds his chin high at press conferences and faces down global storms of criticism. During the Mavi Marmara incident in 2010, Israel raided a boat trying to break the siege on Gaza, killing 10 Turkish citizens on high seas. In his response to a massive global outcry, Netanyahu spoke to the Israeli press in Hebrew, and railed against the "attack of international hypocrisy, " thereby transforming the incident into an attack on Israel. Israelis relaxed into their far more comfortable role of "us against the world," whereby the world uses every weapon, even "global hypocrisy," to harm our embattled nation.
The same role reversal can be seen with every international criticism of Israeli policy from at least 1955, when Prime Minister David Ben Gurion famously dismissed presumed international condemnation should Israel capture the Gaza Strip. And it continues to today, when Israel's Hebrew-language media, save for Haaretz, responds to the possibility of an International Criminal Court investigation against Israel with wall-to-wall headlines about hypocrisy and anti-Semitism. They didn't need Netanyahu's help.
Us and them is the effective way to consolidate support at home, against an external enemy. A close cousin is the victim face, which Netanyahu employs to conjure the internal enemy. The great power of the populist lies in his ability to fuse himself with the victimhood of the country's marginalized populations. This helps explain the populist paradox in which a fabulously wealthy leader comes to stand for the downtrodden and poor.
As I've argued, Netanyahu's most burnished victim narrative involves being persecuted by the state for representing the true (right-wing) interests of the people. With this victim-face, he appeals to some of Israel's underprivileged populations, fusing real and perceived grievances, political and socio-economic marginalization, and with still greater irony given Netanyahu's Ashkenazi elite demographic, he even represents Mizrahi cultural and class alienation. They cling to him to vanquish their enemies not only abroad, but at home. His triumph is their triumph.
There's the shameless-mendacious face. Netanyahu has used this in various ways. It is an artful form of lying, often starting with a grain of truth, then bludgeoned with a blunt instrument to serve his political narrative. He wore this face when he asserted the Grand Mufti of having planted the idea of genocide in the mind of Hitler, by association blaming the Palestinian people for the Holocaust.
Israelis themselves tell stories that are far from reality, with only a kernel truth at the core. Israel calls itself a vibrant democracy, although throughout nearly its entire history it has held some portion of its subjects — Palestinian citizens or Palestinians in the occupied territories — under an undemocratic military regime. Though the occupation gets deeper with each decade, many Israelis tell themselves it does not exist at all. Blaming the Palestinians for genocide of the Jews is a similar logical leap that these Israelis are well-suited to believe.
There is also a particular extension of mendacious face. It's the overwrought conviction of someone who has come to believe his own lies. Netanyahu can convince himself vociferously of falsehoods that are ever-more outlandish. In May, he feverishly asserted that Avigdor Liberman, a hardline nationalist competitor, was left-wing, after Liberman refused to join a right-wing coalition, triggering new elections. That was comical enough to cause a reporter to laugh spontaneously.
That face is on display with his most recent crazed fabrication, however, which is far more grave. On the evening of his indictment, Netanyahu finally dove headlong into the right-wing assault on Israel's legal system. He had kept himself somewhat distant from the increasingly vicious delegitimization of the Israeli judiciary on his decade-long watch, but now seized the story with a vengeance. The police, the prosecutor, and by association the attorney general and the entire legal system itself, had come after him like a lynch mob, at the bidding of their true masters, the left and the media. His persecution, of course, was an implicit replication of the people's persecution. They're coming for me and they'll come for you. They must be stopped.
I watched the press conference and believed Netanyahu — that is, I believed that he believes this fabrication entirely. Others believed his meaning: 36 percent of Israelis in an Israeli Democracy Institute survey agreed that the legal process was tainted and devised to depose him. Presumably this overlaps with 37 percent of Israelis who would like him to continue serving as prime minister despite the indictment (in a Panels poll from Nov. 26).
But Bibi tips off his own mendacity. When auto-psuedo-convictions are combined with political instability, he puts on his sweaty face.
But one of his most damaging faces is the most understated: the proto-authoritarian face. For the last ten years, what Netanyahu did most successfully was stabilize a notoriously fractious political system. Two of his governments lasted almost full four-year terms – a rarity in Israeli politics. He did this through a combination of consolidating power, distancing potential competitors, or else keeping them close and hoarding ministerial portfolios. At the time of his indictment, he held four additional ministerial roles: health, welfare, agriculture, diaspora affairs. At times he has held five at once in addition to being prime minister.
Israelis lauded his political acumen and enjoyed the relative calm. Stability and consolidation hardly make headlines, but they are the foundation of an authoritarian-populist. Dismiss with the bothersome procedures of a democracy. Scrap checks and balances on executive power while you're at it. Trade your freedom for stability.
If Netanyahu is the least conspicuous in the proto-authoritarian role, perhaps his bombastic faces are a good thing. They expose the extreme but inevitable version of the authoritarian leader: obsessive image-mongering to maintain a cult of personality, the temptations of corruption to preserve power, the resort to paranoia, the descent into political self-destruction, even in excruciating slow motion.
I have clung to my belief that Israel has other faces: the true peace-seeking face, not the peace face full of makeup. The liberal-democratic face, which is bruised and nearly unrecognizable at present, but can still be seen winking in the corner sometimes.

Once upon a time, in the small but quirky town of Carbondale, there lived a woman who wrote a children's book. She finished the book in no time, had it illustrated and designed by local artists and was quite happy with the finished product. She loved it, in fact.
That was about 10 years ago. The book, in the form of a pdf, has lived on her computer ever since. Most of the time it slept, but every once in awhile she would wake it up and send it to a publisher or a few editor friends for feedback, which by the way was pretty good. She also woke it up to make some manuscript changes — small ones, but in her mind, significant. She even went to Amazon's Create Space to see if she could self publish it because that was supposed to be so simple. Not!
To her, the business of getting her book published was difficult and overwhelming, so it continued to sleep, until now, and yes, that woman would be me.
I am not alone. In fact, this problem is fairly common among artists and creative people whose passion is to create but have a hard time dealing with the business side of how to get their work out there for the public to see. Fortunately, help has arrived for myself and people like me thanks to Light of the Moon, Inc. – Publishing Division, a local, one-stop-shop if you're a writer and want to self-publish your book.
Founder and CEO Alyssa Ohnmacht is also the longtime publisher of the Crystal Valley Echo newspaper in Redstone.
"In last several years I've had the opportunity to work on several people's books and help them get self-published. Then, in the last year I started realizing that I love putting books together which is something most authors don't like and don't know how to do. Authors like to write and not do all of that other 'stuff.' I'm not a writer but I love to do all of that other 'stuff.' That is my creative part," Ohnmacht said.
Although she was able to help people get the books into the right form with respect to layout and design, she felt that some pieces of the puzzle were missing. She didn't know how to help with the editing and marketing of the books but solving this problem wasn't a struggle. Sitting at the breakfast table one morning while talking to her daughter, Olivia Savard, she realized the two of them could work together. "I realized by working together we could offer a more complete package,"she said.
"I love solving puzzles and helping individuals and small businesses grow their online presence," said Savard, who has a B.S. in Communications and has also been the social media manager for multiple companies around the valley. According to Savard, "I work with the clients and help them to promote their book over social media platforms, both on our company pages, and if the author chooses, their own pages." She can help authors get their books onto Amazon as well as promote their books online, write press releases, schedule book signings and more.
One of the unique components to their publishing company is that it's personalized for each author and this extends to the marketing. According to Savard, "self-marketing is not always fun or easy for the authors (or anyone)! I love helping people promote their work and their passion and if I can do that for them by helping them market their creation, then I am thrilled! I really enjoy working with others and 'solving the puzzle' of online marketing and social media."
The team was finally complete with the hiring of Editor Kayla Henley. A longtime friend of Savard's, Henley and her talents have been no secret to Ohnmacht.
"After studying creative writing at University of Denver, I'm extremely excited to put that knowledge to use in an editing position because editing to me is a perfect combo as it combines my love of reading with creative analysis of writing," Henley said. "We've already worked with a few authors and I've loved every bit of it because it's an array of genres I get to engage with, so whether its a novel, self-help book or a children's illustration book, you never know what kind of story is going to be coming down the pike so it keeps the job engaging and interesting."
Regarding their services, Ohnmacht said that when an author contacts them, each book goes through an editorial review where they give the author feedback. Some books need a lot of work and some need very little. Depending on how much work is needed — whether it's layout, editing, a cover, marketing or all of those things — or for someone who is on a shoestring and wants their book self-published, she said they have priced themselves competitively. They're a small company and the customer gets small company service rather than one-size-fits-all. There are no templates here. Every book is custom.
Ohnmacht says that "Light of the Moon is publishing with a personal touch. We get on the author's team and are with them every step of the way… My years of experience in publishing allows me to know how to print each author because everyone is different. We want to make it really quality and I want everyone to be published in the best light, so to speak."
As for mother and daughter working together, according to Savard, "We are both go-getters and we work well together. We do not try to do the other's job and allow space for the other person which is vital when working with family! All in all, I cannot imagine a better business partner," Savard said
According to Henley, "We're a good trio. I've got the editing, Olivia does marketing and social media, and Alyssa does the layout, graphic design and visual stuff and she's a great communicator. We all have a lot of respect for what each other does and it's all of our combined strengths that's going to make this company a success."
I am really excited and relieved to be telling and selling my story with Light of the Moon, and finally looking forward to living happily ever after! You'll be hearing about it soon in this newspaper and through social media which fortunately will be handled by someone who knows what they're doing.

Hiking Trails in and Around Durango, Colorado
Harry Nielsen
I have enjoyed hiking for many years, so I enjoy sharing what I know and tips about places to hike.
Looking Down on Durango
The town of Durango as viewed from the heights of Smelter Mountain
Where Is Durango?
Durango is a small city in southwestern Colorado along the south-flowing Animas River near the New Mexico state line. Due to the rugged topography of the area, major road connections are limited to one north-south highway that connects up with the Million Dollar Highway at Ouray and another major East-West road that links the major towns and cities of Southern Colorado. A few miles to the west of Durango, visitors can find the ancient Native American cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde National Park.

During winter months, the nearby San Juan Mountains offers great opportunities for downhill and cross country skiing, as well as snowshoeing. During spring, summer, and fall, outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy hiking, biking, rock climbing, and whitewater rafting.
The Annual Animas River Parade in Durango

A Popular River Walk
The Animas River begins in the high peaks of the San Juan Mountains, flowing in a southwestern direction until the raging body of water joins the San Juan river, eventually becoming part of the mighty Colorado as it surges through the Grand Canyon.
In Durango, you can walk or bike this concrete path. Despite the trail's popularity and its sidewalk hardness, this walkway still affords great vistas of the river canyon and all the boaters, brave enough to enter its challenging whitewater. The trail begins on the far north side of town on 32nd street right behind the City Market. From there it follows the river southward, crossing the fast-flowing body of water several times before coming to an end, just past the Walmart on the south side of town.
Access for this popular walk is easy and non-restricted.
The Dahlas Trail

To find the Dahlas trailhead and parking lot, just go to 25th Street and head west onto Junction Creek Rd. until you come to a parking lot. The trail begins here and branches out into a web of various crisscrossing routes. No chance of getting loss as permanent trail maps are abundant along the route.
This trail does not do much climbing, but instead meanders through a beautiful pinon pine-juniper forest, punctuated by huge boulders. As a result this area is popular with rock climbers, who love to practice on the big rocks before adventuring out to more difficult rock formations.
The Animas Mountain Trail

Animas Mountain
On Animas Mountain you will do most of your climbing in the first half mile or so. But do not let this fact deter you from ascending this beautiful plateau-like summit, for the trails are all well-designed with plenty of switchbacks to lessen the pain of ascent. Once past the switchbacks,most hikers will want to walk along the top of the cliffs that overlook the Animas River.
After the initial ascent, hikers will traverse the plateau through an open forest of tall Ponderosa pines. The summit is slight, but still offers a good view of many high, snow-capped peaks
Smelter Mountain Trail
From the summit of Smelter Mountain, the ambitious hiker can look right down into Durango, Colorado.
The Smelter Mountain trail is a steep ascent to a long ridge line that is located very close to the downtown area. No switchbacks here, just a goat trail that scrambles through a pinon-juniper forest on a direct route to the high ridgetop that is interspersed with communications towers and signs saying that the mountaintop is only open for small-game hunters. Despite these limitations, Smelter Mountain is a hearty climb and a good aerobic workout that will award the hiker with some extraordinary views of Durango. Hikers should also note that this trail is only open from December 1 to April 15. Still worth it, just for the spectacular views.
P.S. The trailhead and parking lot can be found just outside Centennial Park on the south side of town.
Twin Buttes
Twin Buttes is a natural formation located just a few miles west of Durango, just north of Highway 160
Into the Backcountry
You can find the trailhead for the Twin Buttes trail, just past the Giant convenience store on Highway 160. The parking lot here is quite large, as is the trail map, which is boldly displayed on a large board. This trail begins with a moderate ascent that intersects with several dirt roads. Best to have a trail map, as sometimes the path just crosses the unpaved road, while at other times, you will want to follow the old logging road uphill.
After a while, the Twin Buttes will come into sight. Be sure to follow the yellow BCCS trail that circles behind the two mesas, for this give you a stunning view of the San Juans. This hike should only take several hours and does not require a lot of vertical ascent.
The Town's Name
Interestingly enough, the name Durango does not come from the Spanish language but from the Basque-speaking region of France and Spain that borders the two nations. Translated to English, the word refers to a place located between two great heights of land. To anyone that has visited the Colorado town, it is obvious that the description fits the small Southwestern city very well.
The hiking trails of Durango offer plenty of outdoor subject matter, suitable for the eclectic tastes of fine art photographers.

A crab in the Apple tree
By Unknown September 12, 2012
Today, I was among many geeks who, like the high school guy nervously awaiting the prom dance to end and the exit to the hotel room, awaited my semi regular dose of Apple branded technology porn. When the announcement of the iPhone 5 arrived, it was the same drug, administered with all the flourish and expectation of many similar injections of years past. We got to see all the leaked features put on full display, from the larger screen, to the oh so luscious LTE wireless speed. The device had everything we've been asking for, and even a few nice surprises like the new connector that you can insert in the dark, and it doesn't matter if it's upside down or not. The display was beautiful, the design and form factor was polished, and everything was exactly as we expected.
But wait! There was more! The iPod Nano got a complete redesign as well. The Nano is one of those products that can't seem to settle on a shirt to put on in the morning. It's worn the skinny tie, the shirt that makes it look fat, and even the shirt that resembled Falvor Flav by making you think about wearing it as a wrist watch. This poor device can't settle down, but it seems that every iteration is still a great work of art. This latest incarnation also impresses. Overall, it's a welcome refresh to the iPod line.
But wait! Yet another update! The iPod Touch got a refresh! Wow, it has the same screen as the iPhone 5, and a better camera, and a new A5 chip! Sweet! Multiple colors? Rock on! It can be yours for... wait.. what was that price again? You're kidding me right? $300??? And just like that... the crab has entered the Apple tree. But unlike most instances where I laugh at the silly pundits who complain that they didn't get everything they wanted, as I watch my single share of Apple stock grow and grow... this time... I'm the crab.
The iPod Touch was always a unique device. It allowed Apple to bring iOS to the masses that couldn't afford, or didn't want, an iPhone. I owned one for many years, and loved it. I took it to China with me, and it was a great tool in lieu of a smartphone. But the world has changed. Smartphones are everywhere, and even people who I never would have thought of having one in the past, are now sporting the latest Android or iOS device. So what is the role of the iPod Touch? Apple claims that it's also a great gaming device. I can see that, as it's got some of the best games around, and a beautiful screen and touch interface. But it's main competitor in the handheld gaming market, the Nintendo DSi, is often found for much less than $150. Yet, Apple decided to release this device for $300. This is one of those moments where I become the person I despise and ask the question... "Would Steve Jobs really have done this?"
The problem is, that although Apple has always been able to demand a premium, I feel that in this case they went too far. When you look at the marketplace that they are competing with, it's no longer JUST the small mp3 players, or the handheld video game devices. It's the mini-tablet. Both the Google Nexus 7, and the Kindle Fire have started to reshape the landscape, albeit slowly. In many ways, with the Nexus 7, Google 'out-Apple'd Apple. The Nexus 7 tablet is a really nice device, and has shown itself quite useful for various people that I know that have one. So it's only logical that Apple will enter this space soon, and in fact the current rumors put their unveiling somewhere around October. But with today's announcement, they've already telegraphed the price point, and it's nowhere near the price point of the Nexus 7. The base level Nexus 7 retails for $199. This is a great price point to get people in to the mini-tablet world, and exposing them to an application ecosystem. But if Apple plans to release an iPad Mini, the price with need to START at $300, so that they have a clear diferentiation with their iPod Touch line.
This disappoints me tremendously. My hope had been that we would see an iPad mini for around $250. A bit more than the Nexus 7, but hey, you have to be willing to pay the premium for an Apple product. But a full $100 more than the closest competitor will put it far out of reach of many prospective buyers. Sure the Nexus 7 doesn't have a Retina display, but honestly, for most pople, a 7 inch device doesn't need that. Instead of trying to beat Google at the game that they think they can win, Apple is choosing to distance themselves in a way that I think will be most unhelpful.
So like the prom guy who realizes when he gets to the hotel room that he's not getting everything he hoped for, I sit here let down by Apple. But who knows, maybe something will change, and the announcement in October will blow our socks off. It's your move Apple... what are you going to do?
Where in the world am I?
Start a fire with some kindling
Swinging a sack of doorknobs
Computers as work


Sushil Kumar, India's first Rs 5-crore winner on Kaun Banega Crorepati might have to move out of his hometown in Bihar, just to let his family live in peace.
Apparently, while he still hasn't received a single paisa of the winning amount, he is being flooded with requests for doling out monetary help to people from all across the country, even abroad. Naturally, Sushil doesn't know how to handle it.
Speaking from Motihari he said, "I get letters from all over the country, and now even from abroad for financial help.
Worse, the money-seekers have started walking into Sushil's home. The distressed man adds, "People walk in with their requests at any time of the day without warning, often when there's no male member in the house. My wife and the other ladies feel insecure."
Speaking about the prize money that was promised to him, Sushil points out, "I haven't received a single paisa yet.
Nor have I got any intimation or call from the channel as to when the money will reach me. I don't even know how much I'll get after tax deduction, etc. Basically, I am being flooded with requests to share the fund that I don't even have."
Sushil is very clear about whom he wants to share his money with. "Why should I give money to people I don't know? I'll use the money for causes that are dear to me. But first my family and me need to improve our condition. Our home is yet to be repaired. We're waiting for the money."
Thankfully, Sushil admits that he is yet to get any extortion call, which is quite prevalent in parts of Bihar. "Thanks to the media which has made my KBC victory a national cause, I am saved from rangdaari(extortion).
But I wonder if these requests that are constantly invading my family's privacy, are not a form of rangdaari."
He now intends to write a book on his experiences after the triumph on KBC.
"Believe me, I've learnt so much about human nature in the last one month. It would make a very interesting story," says Sushil. The channel promised to revert with details on Sushil's prize money, but they didn't.


A contractor in Tauranga has been fined more than $16,000 for illegally disposing of and burning asbestos.
Contour Ltd and owner Stephen Mark Miller were prosecuted by the Bay of Plenty Regional Council in January.
Miller was asked to demolish several structures from a Bellevue property, including a workshop, fence and a garage clad with cement board, which he did so by burning and burying on his own property.
A regional council officer discovered the asbestos waste at his Te Puna home following a complaint and an investigation.
Miller admitted he had not worked with asbestos before, but he was aware there were special requirements for disposing waste. He was ordered to pay $16,400.

Slain rebel abandoned comrades at clash site
By Rhoda Grace Saron on March 3, 2021
A FEMALE rebel was killed while two high-powered firearms were seized during an encounter with the combined troops of the 58th Infantry Battalion and 42nd Division Reconnaissance Company in the hinterlands of Barangay Mantangale, Balingoan, Misamis Oriental on Monday.
1Lt. Jefferson Mariano, civil-military operations officer of the 58IB, said the female rebel was believed to be a member of Sub-Regional Committee 1 of North Central Mindanao Regional Committee (NCMRC). Her identity was withheld prior to informing the family.
The female rebel was among the more or less 30 NPAs encountered by the troops around 4 p.m. after responding to the report on the presence of the armed men in the barangay.
They found her lifeless body on the site, abandoned by the retreating rebels.
The soldiers recovered two M16 rifles, three magazines for AK47, four magazines for M14, three rifle grenades, two-way radios, three cellular phones, three solar panels, assorted medicines, personal belongings, and 18 backpacks.
"We are very grateful for the swift response by the men in uniform in securing the area," Balingoan Mayor Aaron Paul S. Unabia said.
"The LGU Balingoan will do its best to assist the Philippine Army and all other government agencies and instrumentalities in putting an end to the insurgency problem and bringing peace and prosperity to the area," he said.
Lt. Col. Ricky L. Canatoy, commanding officer of 58IB said, "We extend our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family of the killed female rebel. Another life was wasted and lost for fighting for the wrong ideologies of the NPA."
Furthermore, Canatoy urged the remaining NPA fighters to abandon the armed struggle, return to the folds of the law, and avail of the programs of the government.
"I truly hope that more and more NPA rebels will surrender now and stop adhering to the lies and deceptions put inside your heads. Do this for the sake of your life and to avoid this unfortunate death. It is not yet too late," he said.
"You are always welcome to surrender and come back to the folds of the law. We assure you that a good future awaits as we will assist you from the beginning until you can avail all the benefits under Enhanced Comprehensive and Local Integration Program (E-CLIP). Likewise, your Army will continue to work to ensure the safety and protection of every individual in the communities," he further said.

Q: PHP login works on localhost and adds users on live site, but doesnt retrieve passwords I have a login system that works fine on my localhost. When I uploaded it to my live database I can create a user and it will input the data into the database, but when I try to login it doesn't seem to find the password. When I echo the values from the live database it gives nothing for $realpass['password'];

$username = mysql_real_escape_string($username);

$conn = mysql_connect($_SESSION['db_name'], $_SESSION['db_username'], $_SESSION['db_password'] );
mysql_select_db($_SESSION['db_table'], $conn);

//Get Password
$query = "SELECT `password` FROM `user` WHERE email_address='$username';";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$realpass = mysql_fetch_array($result);

if(sha1($password)!=$realpass['password'])
{
    echo "Error! Invalid username or password, please try again.
";
    echo sha1($password)."
";
    echo $realpass['password'];
}
else
{
    $_SESSION['uname'] = $name;
    $_SESSION['valid_user'] = $username;
    $_SESSION['user_id'] = $user_id;
    header('Location: index.php');
}

A: In this depreciated case, I believe you are calling fetch array incorrectly.
Either use
mysql_fetch_array($result)[0]

or
mysql_fetch_row($result)[0]

To reference by name you need
mysql_fetch_assoc

A: The problem was $username = mysql_real_escape_string($username); is deprecated.
I changed it to $username = mysqli_real_escape_string($username); and it works fine
