As many as 40 people are now reported to have died after a tsunami struck low-lying villages in American Samoa early Tuesday.

The tsunami was triggered by an 8.3 magnitude earthquake, prompting warnings as far away as New Zealand and the West Coast of the United States.

After shocks are continuing, at least two of them over 5 on the Richter scale.

The death and injury toll may have been much higher, but the capital, Apia, was quickly evacuated to higher ground.

Residents had previously practiced evacuation procedures and they moved quickly when the tsunami warning was sounded. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Can't help myself...

The Economy's All At Sea...Abandon Ship

The biggest and most secretive gathering of ships in maritime history lies at anchor east of Singapore.

Never before photographed, it is bigger than the U.S. and British navies combined but has no crew, no cargo and no destination - and is why your Christmas stocking may be on the light side this year

The Things To Come - Are Here

As the author of the e-book "How To Survive economic depression, earth changes and Martial Law" - I must say it is no great pleasure to have been somewhat visionary in the writing of it.

At the time, the last 12 months of economic chicanery had yet to happen. Future actions of the "Global Elite" were mostly hinted at. The possibility of martial law was presented as just that - a possibility.

But suddenly, with the gathering of the G20 (those elitists responsible for all catastrophes on earth who present themselves as our saviors) all the possibilities in that book are coming not just into focus, but into reality.

It all happened in Pittsburgh during the G20 conference - where, according to the mainstream media who are nothing but lackeys of the elite, the protesters started getting violent.

How patently false is that? EVERY TIME there is a peaceful protest against the New World Order the yellow-bellied front men and front women of the Mainstream Spin Machine (MSM) just flat out LIE.

I was a journalist starting in 1960 and frankly, to see today's generation of sycophants with their personal connections and membership of clubs and organizations like the Council on Foreign Relations doing their inept spin-doctoring, is to watch what was once an honorable profession dedicated to truth turn into nothing more than a propaganda machine.

But why should that be a surprise? The people who own the G20 minions - that's right - they're only minions - also own the media....

It has taken a woman - a mother - whose son was killed in Iraq (remember, the war we were lied to about in order to get it started?) to take to the front lines herself to perhaps - maybe- perhaps - maybe - begin to find any spine in the vast majority of her fellow Americans.

By front lines I mean the front lines of peaceful protest. That's where Cindy Sheehan was during the G20 gathering in Pittsburgh. Front lines, facing off against literally thousands of fully protected cops and soldiers.

That included military guys with riot shields and helmets and knee pads and boots and visors and clubs and a NEW type of "crowd control weapon."

Their job? Protect the elite. With your tax dollars. And beat the crap out of anyone who doesn't like being lied to every single day by people who are taking away every right you thought you had.

Welcome to Guinea Pig Farm....

"Tell me what a Police State Looks Like" by Cindy Sheehan

“Pittsburgh is what a police state looks like!”

"I have been to dozens of protests, large and small, since my son was killed in Iraq, but I have never seen anything like today and the only term I can use is: Profound Overkill. There were easily two cops/soldiers for every one of us protesters, or maybe even 3 to 1.

"There was absolutely no reason for the over-reaction of the police state to the protesters today. Do not believe the news propaganda that says the protesters were the cause of the violence. It was the cops. The thugs even dropped tear gas from helicopters. We're like ants trying to struggle against anteaters.

"Seeing the National Guard troops, fresh from Iraq, broke my heart the hardest. I also talked to dozens of them, none had ever heard of posse commitatus, and asked them if my son, their brother, died in Iraq so they could steal the rights of his mother.

"Most of them wouldn't even look at me. The cops and soldiers should be ashamed of themselves for allowing their selves to be used as tools of the Robber Class “elites.” “Just following orders” is not a defense. "   Cindy Sheehan is the mother of Spc. Casey Austin Sheehan, who was KIA in Iraq on 04/04/04. She is a co-founder and President of Gold Star Families for Peace and the author of two books: Not One More Mother's Child and Dear President Bush.

Benjamin Fulford on the G20 leaders: "If they were decent people doing good for the planet they would not need to surround themselves with thousands of armed thugs in order to protect themselves from peaceful protesters.

"Did Michael Jackson need thousands of bodyguards for his music concerts despite all the people gathered there? Of course not because they loved him. The G20 leaders are mostly not loved."

Ever wonder why?

Could it be because people are becoming aware that it is the "leaders" who create wars, then send our kids to get killed...then put riot police on the streets to smash your head if you demonstrate your disapproval.

It is the "leaders" who take your money to bail out thieves and robbers (bankers who committed massive fraud by deliberately creating worthless "instruments."

It is the "leaders" who spend trillions on their military forces (your money again) so they can wage war on each other.

For what?

Never for justice and freedom - always for resources like oil and pipeline routes. Or contracts for the military industrial complex, and corporations like Halliburton while you (again) pick up the tab.

Blood and money - that's all you're good for.

It is the "leaders" who play war games,threaten each other with nuclear weapons, kill civilians with Depleted Uranium, phosphorus bombs, EMP weapons and every imaginable high tech killing technology they can come up with.

And you foot the bill. Either with your blood, or your money.

It is the "leaders" who lie and say "the United States does not torture." It has, it does, and it will continue.

And it is the "leaders" - political, bankers, corporations - who will feel the backlash - the karmic result of their actions - within 12 months.

Call that a prophecy? It's NOT.

But it is HIGHLY LIKELY - because despite the lies and the bully tactics, the Internet is literally vibrating with a new field of thought. And that thought, evident in so many Internet sites - and the very language that is being used - is that it is TIME for the old to pass away.

They'll Expose Your Private Parks

Naturally, those who would prefer the "old" to become the "New World Order" aren't quite ready to quit.

They've got a plan to monitor every single person's every movement, and MOOD - throughout Europe.

"The European Union is spending millions of pounds developing 'Orwellian' technologies designed to scour the internet and CCTV images for "abnormal behavior".

Is that a shocker or what?

2012 Divided By 16 - Parts

Youtube has many videos about 2012.

One of the most comprehensive series can be found here.

It's in 16 segments. And it combines the science and the spiritual. Haven't personally watched them all - so you be the judge for yourself.

Gadgetman Update - In The Groove

Have personally completed four modifications on vehicle throttle bodies with the newly patented "Gadgetman Groove."

In all cases, there has been a noticeable increase in power.

Now, considering that I lambast my former colleagues in the MSM (Mainstream Spin Machine) for dishonesty, it's time to test my own self:-)

In one case (Toyota 22R-E engine), mileage actually went down by 2mpg(oh dear...but truth is truth)...and another which yielded no change either way in mileage (even though it showed increased power) will be coming back in for a free check-up and change to the groove next week.

Good news though - a Ford Crown Victoria I did on Sunday has a computerised fuel usage display. On the way here it was doing 19 mpg. After the mod, I'm told the read-out was 21mpg - which is an immediate 10 per cent improvement. Not bad for a 5 litre motor.

You can read a lot more, see some honest testimonials, and see a great interview with "Mr Gadgetman" himself (Ron Hatton) at this new web site. (Includes video demo of how it works).

We've also finished the Gadgetman License agreement so if you're looking for some extra income - like hundreds a day - give it some thought. Or send me an email. editor@buycontacthasbegun.com with just "gadgetman info" in the subject line - and your question or phone number for me to call.

We're looking for licensees world wide.

Well, that's it for tonight.

Sure hope we can come up with some better news next time.

Be well.

Sincerely.

Michael Knight.
