Police radio communications CONFIRM ~ Bat Man shooting STAGED

NOTE: The evening the headline on the Colorado shooting appeared, it intuitively felt like a diversion so I moved on and paid it no attention.? And guess what? The next day was GREAT! Completely absent from images of carnage searing my mind while running errands, while at the same time feeling concerned for everyone sporting fashionable media IV units. Still attached to the beast and magnetized to dark images, continually feeding darker forces psychic life energy. While literally denying themselves access to infinite amounts of Divine Light pouring onto the planet. They {shadow ego} can?t even feel or believe it?s coming in.?

Folks if you have done so already, it?s time to detach from 3D fear matrix?s? and take your energy back before getting pulled under in the collapse. As the end of 2012 draws closer, expect to see more media trickery and disinformation psyop?s designed to keep ego?s fascinated in battle mode and frozen in the collapsing operating systems. It?s difficult to discern where the truth is coming from anymore and is only serving to keep people locked in, confused and ignorant.

At this time,? very few people are aware that a powerful Black Magic spell was set into motion thousands of years ago by occultist?s from outside Dark forces, controlling the secret societies within ruling bloodlines.? The same forces that control religion, the mass media and emtertainment industry play a major role in keeping people hypnotized under the ?spell? of? black magic programming.

These ?wag the dog? psyops only serve to dangle a bright shiny object to keep the public eye off darker agenda?s playing out and even worse, they keep people?s mind in a trance-state completely distracted and unable to focus on discovering the Divine side of the matrix structures.? Desensitized and lacking the intuitive receptivity needed to sense or feel the ?highly transformational? cosmic energies pouring on to the planet.? When we?re distracted, incoming healing energies aren?t being utilized or aiding spiritual evolution.?

Darkness has no where to hide in the Light of awareness when we reclaim our power as sovereign beings. If we stop feeding the beast our psychic lifeblood, it will cease to exist as we evolve into our true nature as spiritual light beings. The PTB have feared this day for thousands of years, now that it?s upon them it?s bound to get ugly as they fight a losing game to stay in power. No telling what?s around the corner with the 2012 Olympics, don?t ?feed? it much attention?just stay aware and in the now.

This whole mass shooting scenario in Colorado stinks,? please share this post.

THIS ARTICLE caused an ENORMOUS number of attacks against this site

I did not realize it, but the following Bat man article caused numerous DDOS attacks against this site, plus the thread that had this in the forum is gone, plus hundreds of internal messages within the forum also vanished because of the following article. THIS MEANS IT REALLY TWEAKED SOMEONE, ARCHIVE, POST, AND RE POST IT EVERYWHERE! I pulled it off the sister site and re-posted it here after I confirmed this.

I have received two e-mails from people saying that witnesses to the shooting posted their accounts of it at a game forum and at Yahoo answers. I am not changing my take on this, and here is why ? It?s because the CIA hired over a million goons to go around the social forums re-enforcing stories like this and spread disinfo. If there ever was something that said it?s all fake, it?s the look on the face of the shooter afterward, and the photo op photo farther down this page. I don?t buy it, and even if I am wrong about this and there really was action the rest of the story does not wash, this event was staged, pure and simple. And either way, these police tapes are worth a listen, because they have details which do not match the whitewash in the press. No shootout with the Joker and the police afterward? GET REAL.

In THE FIRST intercepted police radio tape, (which is silent for the first 11 minutes, indicating nothing was being said for those 11 minutes) at minute 11 the police units involved in the drill check in, and say all are present. Then, right around 13 minutes it is discussed where one of the centers will be. Then, starting at minute 14, they are discussing where they will be at the Aurora mall for the start of the drill at the Aurora theater.

THE FIRST 11 MINUTES OF THIS ARE SILENT. DO NOT LET THAT FOOL YOU INTO THINKING THE MP3 IS EMPTY. AUDIO STARTS AROUND MINUTE 11.

I then skipped to the last of these, where they are talking about setting up the press, where to put the ambulances, where to put the ?victims? families, etc for their photo ops. This MP3 has the police communications in the left speaker, overlapped with the Fire department communications in the right speaker It?s OBVIOUS what is going on here. Keep in mind, that because this is a drill, bodies and injured WILL be mentioned and played as real, but it?s ALL FAKE as confirmed by recording 1, and the overall attitude in this MP3, where they are talking about WHERE TO PUT THE PRESS AND FAMILIES AND AMBULANCES FOR PHOTOS!

My original suspicions were confirmed by these tapes. The bat man shooting NEVER HAPPENED AT ALL! These MP3?s were posted by Wellaware1.com, which is begging people to download these and re-post them elsewhere so they do not get shut down. So these are coming off my servers now. I suggest you download them from here to distribute the server load, (I have headroom to spare right now) but if there are any problems they might still be at the source. And I thank Wellaware1.com for sticking their necks out to spread the truth. Here are ALL files from Aurora. The first and last are linked above (as well as down here), those are the ones I took a peek at.

I took more of a look at these than I planned to. It is mega obvious the drill was not even of primary importance to the police department, it?s just a side thing.

1. Setting up the drill
2. The drill in progress (boring police tape with other stuff mixed in)
3. The drill in progress (boring police tape with other stuff mixed in)
4. The drill in progress (boring police tape with other stuff mixed in)
5. The drill in progress (boring, supposedly the shooter is in this one)
6. The drill in progress (boring, a second bomb is supposedly in this one)
7. Where should stuff go for the photo ops?

MANY THANKS to forum member Kwai_Chang for linking to Wellaware1.com in the forum, absent that I would have never found this.

There are serious problems with the story surrounding the ?shooting? in Colorado.

There is no evidence being presented of: DEAD BODIES, A SHOT UP THEATER, NO CCTV FOOTAGE, RIDICULOUS PLOT (How does an unemployed college student get ahold of $20,000 worth of extremely controlled military gear) or anything else he had. You don?t need any dead bodies to put an ambulance on camera and have a dozen or so actors cry for a camera. Why ONE BIG AMBULANCE, not many? Easier to manage. Cheaper. WHY were the police there INSTANTLY? This is a WAG THE DOG, COUNT ON IT!!!

And in the end, it will work JUST AS WELL. AND, why this shooting, so close to the previous in Colorado? Not plausible either, unless you have a community there that has been assigned by the power elite to pull these stunts. I do not believe it ever happened. PROVE ME WRONG. Oh, the elite stronghold under the Denver airport ? the new base for everything. Cute. Consider that as well.

SO far documented, 1 ambulance 1 fire truck, several police, one Joker getup, a shirt with a bullet hole and a total of about a dozen crying people in photos. No stretchers, No CCTV footage, NO shot up theater pics, No bodies being carried out, NO pictures of people with any bandages or injuries present, NOTHING. This is a lazy cheap fake at best, being rammed down the throat of the public by a scamming media. And after being quickly nailed by viewers of Aljazeera, and having people point out immediately that the dead osama photo published in the U.S. was fake, it seems they did not want to take chances with stock photography and therefore we are seeing NOTHING OF PROVABLE SUBSTANCE.

?No plane theory? anyone? Possibly rightfully so!

Looking over the pictures published thus far, it really does look like a mega stupid fake once you realize the things I mentioned above. Capture this moment, because if people wake up to this they will have countless fake photos made to order. For now, they are resting easy.

And I strongly urge you to watch the following movie trailer for Wag The Dog, so you understand the concept and realize how easy something like this shooting can be faked.

Romney: Release intelligence leaks probe before Election Day

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney called for the investigation into recent national security leaks suspected to be coming from the White House be released before Election Day during his speech to the VFW?Tuesday.

Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman, suggested Monday that the national security leaks were coming from the White House, although she mentioned that she did not think the source was President Barack Obama himself.

?I think the White House has to understand that some of this is coming from their ranks,? she said before the World Affairs Council.

Romney used Feinstein?s remarks as a springboard Tuesday, calling the leaks ?a national security crisis? ? identifying Feinstein?s remarks as proof that his and other Republican concern into the matter is not ?a partisan issue? ? and asserted that the Obama administration was releasing classified material ?for political gain.?

?If the president believes ? as he said last week ? that the buck stops with him, then he owes all Americans a full and prompt accounting of the facts,? he said, stating that it was not enough for the Obama administration to wait until after Election Day to reveal the results of its investigation.

Ron Machen, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, and Rod Rosenstein, U.S. Attorney for Maryland, are investigating the leaks.

Sources with knowledge of the campaign said that Romney camp is expected to make national security a central part of his campaign message. Tuesday?s speech was seen as Romney?s first major national security salvo against the Obama campaign.

?This conduct is contemptible,? said Romney.??It betrays our national interest. It compromises our men and women in the field. And it demands a full and prompt investigation, with explanation and consequence.?

?Whoever?provided classified information to the media, seeking political advantage for the administration, must be exposed, dismissed, and punished,? said Romney, stating that ?the time for stonewalling is over.?

Feinstein, on the other hand, did not appreciate her remarks being co-opted by the Romney campaign.

In a statement on her website following Romney?s speech, Feinstein?said?that she regrets her remarks were being used to ?impugn President Obama or his commitment to protecting national security secrets.?

Fitness and health ? how to lose weight and be fit and healthy?

All of want fitness and health, don?t we? But how many of us are willing to put in the effort to be fit and healthy? We always look for excuses ? there is too much stress at work or there is no time for workouts or who wants to stay fit and give up on those wonderful junk food items? And even when we want to lose weight we choose the easiest options that we come across as we search for how to lose weight. We opt for weight loss products that most of the times don?t work. And when we see nothing is happening we go back to our earlier unfit and unhealthy ways. But health and fitness stats in the country and worrisome and the earlier we do something about them the better it is for us.

How does fitness and health benefit us? Do we actually need to write about this? When we are fit and healthy we can accomplish all those tasks that seem like Herculean tasks normally. Take for example the simple job of tying shoelaces. See an obese person try to tie their shoelaces and see the amount of effort that they need to put in. And if you love the beach will you ever be comfortable in your swimming trunks when your tummy bulges out? As far as the inner organs are concerned the situation is worse. The heart cannot pump blood properly; the lungs cannot take in air properly; the blood sugar level is high ? there are thousands of such examples. Hence, it is important to know how to lose weight properly and start off immediately.

When you are unfit your stress levels also tend to go up because you cannot do simple jobs properly. And stress is a killer, one of the biggest, in fact. Stress may not do any harm to your body directly but it can trigger an avalanche of physical problems. When you concentrate on your fitness and health you can also battle stress.

Don?t look for weight loss pills when you search for how to lose weight. Concentrate on tried and tested methods. Look for physical exercises that can help you lose weight fast. Look for all those food items that contribute towards your fitness and health. Look for the dietary supplements that supply nutrition to your body and also help you lose fat. Once you concentrate on these products you will be able to lose weight in a systematic manner. You will feel physically and mentally fitter.

Shortcuts never work in fitness and health even though shortcuts are the most popular results when you search for how to lose weight. What you need to immediately do is enrol in a gym and consult a diet expert. The gym trainer will help you get back to physical fitness and the diet expert will help you enjoy healthy food. A combination of both of these and proper dietary supplements will help you stay fit and healthy and enjoy life better.

For your fitness and health you need to know how to lose weight properly. Consult experts and get started.

Texas Instruments and Europe's Long Shadow

English: CPU Texas Instruments TX486SLC/E (=Cy...

?(Photo credit: Wikipedia)

No?big spring quarter surprise was possible?from Texas Instruments, because the company had already narrowed its revenue guidance to a tight $3.28 ? 3.42 B channel just last month, pegging the earnings range for 32-36 cents. Sure enough, EPS at $0.38 and sales at $3.34 B?fit the spring expectations.

So it?s?all riding on autumn guidance, which included this unsettling language: ?Our backlog grew last quarter but orders slowed in the month of June and our backlog coverage for September is lower than normal.? As a result of this increased uncertainty, we currently estimate that our revenue in the third quarter will be about even with last quarter and below our seasonal average growth rate.?

Investors were expecting a healthy, $200 M sequential uptick in sales to $3.54 B in the ongoing quarter. What they got was flat QoQ guidance.

It?s easy to view TXN as a solid rebound candidate ? the share price has tumbled from $34 to $27 in a matter of months, and unless Europe spirals into a deep recession, the company is well-positioned to benefit from its new diversification drive. But that?s just it. It does look like Europe may be lurching towards disaster. The Alcatel Lucent infra warning form last week shocked the markets, even coming from a serial warner. The retail sales decline in Italy has suddenly accelerated close to -7%, and in Spain it has flirted with -9% year-ver-year declines. Vodafone unsettled Telefonica and Telecom Italia investors on Friday by announcing 10% and 7% revenue declines?by its units in?Spain and Italy.

The TXN?comment about?a June slow-down was precisely what has been concerning the?telecom sector on both handset and infra sides. The fear is that there was a sudden softening in orders during June in Europe and Asia after a decent first two months for the quarter. And the spread of debt crisis from Greece to Spain-Italy axis in July will only make things worse.

The TXN guidance language supports the theory of European demand slowing abruptly during June as the debt crisis started dominating headlines. The?emerging signs of softness in Asia probably partly stem from the weakening European order picture. On its own, Qualcomm?s hesitancy about smartphone/tablet?volumes, AMD?s sudden weakness in China and Nokia?s continuing Chinese tailspin could be company-specific air pockets. Taken together with TXN commentary, we are beginning to see a wider picture of how Europe?s troubles are beginning to impact a spectrum of tech names, from ALU to Vodafone.

Wiggins wins Tour de France

PARIS (AP) ? It was a rare sight at the Tour de France: The yellow jersey holder charging down the streets of Paris at the head of the peloton, trying to set up a teammate for a sprint victory on the final stage.

Bradley Wiggins turned his victory lap into another exhibition at the Tour de France.

With Wiggins heading for a historic victory at the end of a largely ceremonial ride into the French capital, there was one last job to perform before savoring his achievement of becoming the first British rider to win cycling's biggest race.

As with everything else over the last three weeks, Wiggins did it to perfection ? leading the team Sky train for parts of the final kilometers before pulling back to let Mark Cavendish secure yet another sprint victory.

Only then was it time for Wiggins to take it all in ? the British flags waving in the heart of Paris, the view of the Champs-Elysees from the top of the podium and "God Save the Queen" being sung in his honor.

"It's been a magical couple of weeks for the team and for British cycling," Wiggins said. "Some dreams come true. My mother over there, she's now - her son has won the Tour de France."

There'll be little time to celebrate, though.

The British success comes less than one week before the start of the London Olympics, where Wiggins and Cavendish are the overwhelming favorites for gold in the time trial and the road race.

"Tonight I go home," Wiggins said. "Everything turns to the Olympics and I'll be out on the bike tomorrow and I've got an Olympic time trial to try and win. So that's a higher priority than anything else. It's a little weird to leave Paris without a party because it would be nice to spend time with the team and really enjoy it."

Wiggins enjoyed a perfect Tour from the start and secured the victory with a dominating performance in Saturday's final time trial to extend his already commanding lead. Fellow Briton and Sky teammate Christopher Froome finished second, 3 minutes, 21 seconds behind overall. Vincenzo Nibali of Italy finished third, 6:19 off the pace.

And with Cavendish having sacrificed some opportunities for more stage wins along the way by helping his teammate protect the yellow jersey, Wiggins was all too happy to pay him back over the final kilometers of the race ? normally a time when the winner is merely cruising along and already receiving congratulations from other riders.

"It's hard to take in as it happens," Wiggins said. "Every lap of the Champs-Elysees was goose-pimple stuff. We had a job to do with Mark today and we were all motivated to do that so it made it go a lot quicker. The concentration was high and for Mark to finish it off like that... well, it couldn't get any better."

Cavendish ? widely regarded as the best sprinter in the world ? won the final stage of the Tour for the fourth year in a row. After Wiggins pulled back, Edvald Boasson Hagen delivered the perfect lead-out for Cavendish to sprint away from his rivals at the end of the 120-kilometer stage. Cavendish accelerated coming out of the final corner, never looked back and raised four fingers as he crossed the line.

"That was incredible, what a sight," Cavendish said. "The yellow jersey, Brad Wiggins pulling at the end after Chris Froome had been riding. ... I just gave everything to the line, I wanted it so bad. It's the cherry on top of an amazing Tour for us."

The last time two riders from the same nation finished first and second in the Tour was in 1984, when Frenchman Laurent Fignon defeated Bernard Hinault.

Wiggins congratulated his teammates after crossing the line, gave a big hug to his wife and clutched the hands of their children.

The 32-year-old lanky Londoner blew kisses and bowed to a sea of union jacks.

After a soprano sang the British anthem, Wiggins thanked the crowd with a touch of British humor.

"Cheers, have a safe journey home, don't get too drunk," said Wiggins, who wrote in his autobiography about overcoming drinking problems after his early successes in the Velodrome.

Wiggins' father also died four years ago after struggling with alcohol and drugs addiction.

Cavendish claimed his 23rd Tour stage win and third this year. He also became the first reigning world champion to win on the Champs-Elysees.

"It's been incredible," Cavendish said. "We've come in with the aim of winning the yellow jersey. We got first and second on GC. We've won six stages as a team. It's a very successful Tour for Team Sky. Maybe there would've been more opportunities for sprints, but we won six stages. We've raised the profile of British cycling and it's been an incredible thing to be a part of."

The seven stage wins was a record haul for British riders in the Tour, beating the previous record of six stage wins in 2009 - when all were won by Cavendish.

This time the victories were divided up between Cavendish (3), Wiggins (2), David Millar (1) and Froome (1).

All four, with Ian Stannard, will compete in Saturday's road race on the opening day of the Olympics with the aim of propelling Cavendish to another triumph.

"We won seven stages in total, that's one out of three stages won by a British rider," Cavendish said. "The guys in the Olympic team have one more job to do, but it's been an incredible few weeks for us."

Wiggins and his teammates were at the font of the pack as it arrived on the streets of Paris for eight laps of a four-mile circuit on the Champs-Elysees.

Veteran rider George Hincapie, competing in his 17th consecutive and final Tour, led the peloton onto the prestigious avenue alongside fellow American Chris Horner.

With Sky determined to help Cavendish secure a fourth consecutive win in Paris, Horner and Hincapie were immediately reined in. Several other riders tried to break away but the peloton was not ready to give them any slack as the race passed some of the capital's most iconic monuments such as the Louvre museum, the Eiffel tower and the Place de la Concorde.

The winners of the distinctive jerseys ? Wiggins, top young rider Tejay van Garderen in white, best sprinter Peter Sagan in green and Thomas Voeckler in polka-dots for best climber ? rode bikes colored to match their shirts.

Under a bright sun and in a festive atmosphere, they lined up in front of the peloton before the start of the stage in Rambouillet and were entertained with a short sheep herding demonstration involving Rambouillet rams dressed in cycling jerseys.

"I was just telling Brad that this little show was not representative of the bunch, because we don't have the feeling to behave like sheep," Voeckler joked.

Van Garderen, Sagan, Wiggins and Voeckler rode in front of the bunch in the neutral zone leading to the official start, throwing their arms around each other's shoulders, laughing and talking in camaraderie after riding more than 2,100 miles in what is considered the pinnacle of endurance sports.

Wiggins and Froome showed no sign of animosity as they chatted for a couple of minutes. Their rivalry has been the talk of the Tour this year after Froome looked like he could have challenged Wiggins' lead in the mountains but was held back by team orders.

In a symbolic passing of the torch, Wiggins then shook hands with defending champion Cadel Evans, who was all smiles despite a disappointing race. Evans was seventh overall, 15:51 behind Wiggins.
