Faded NWA Colors

Some of our rear cargo doors (that the public doesn’t see) still have NWA cargo colors on the trim; though, the red is quite faded.

I shot this from inside the building during a snowstorm that dumped about a foot of heavy (just below freezing) snow.

[Best of ToBeFree —1-minute videos] Bill Clinton fakes crying at Ron Brown’s funeral — Suddenly switches from laughing to crying when he sees someone filming him

I’m bringing this over from my reality check, ToBeFree.wordpress.com blog. This is probably one of the clearest examples of how Presidents lie.

And of course, they’re all doing it — to our peril.

I remembering watching Rush Limbaugh show this on his TV show (1996), which I enjoyed.  He did some really good work back then. But something has happened to Rush, since. Why didn’t Rush support Ron Paul, screening out Ron Paul supporters from even talking on his show, for example?

I don’t trust him, but this is EXCELLENT!

Ken Duncan, panoramic photographer stands up for CHRISTmas

One of my favorite photographers, Ken Duncan said this in an email sent today:

Happy Christmas to all our lovely friends.  May your Christmas break be filled with love and hope.

I love the message of Christmas and I find it sad when some try to take away aspects of it.

I’ve heard that in one shopping centre this year, Santa is walking around just saying Merry, Merry, Merry.  When asked why he was not saying Merry Christmas, Santa said centre management had instructed him he was not allowed to mention the name of Christ – as in Christmas.  How sad our world is when we give up our right to our own opinions and beliefs.

In a world that is virtually besieged by fear, why should we prohibit any reference to one of the greatest messengers of faith and hope that ever walked this planet?  Whether you believe in God or not, I believe the concept of God giving His best  for others, and then Jesus giving everything He had for others, shows us a valuable key to life.

If we truly want to live a life of purpose and find peace that endures despite our circumstances, then maybe life needs to be less about what we get … and more about what we give.

This year we have sent you a link to a beautiful Christmas Audio Visual production we put together in conjunction with Gina Jeffery’s and her inspiring song “Christmas Wish”.

I hope it inspires you as it does me.

Thank you for your encouragement and for being part of our journey.

May you have a wonderful New Year full of hope and faith.

Guests: Steve Quayle, Augusto Perez & Jim Haddock

Topic : New assignments for the watchman

I responded:

So many people are bummed about this election. I’m not, because I knew America was going down with either Obama or Romney. They would both do their globalist handlers’ bidding. The Republican party has been jacked. And in 2008, I had a prophecy that it was already too late to reverse what’s coming.

The change with this election is that the PEOPLE will finally LOOK TO GOD INSTEAD OF MAN now, which is great news for me! Now, hopefully the people will finally be interested in getting ‘ONE’ happening — so we can be filled with the Holy Spirit no matter what happens.

My 2008 prophecy is actually very positive, because most aren’t right with one another to be able to go to heaven. And once ‘ONE’ happens, the JOY OF THE LORD will be our strength!

‘Let Us Be ONE’ Prophecy Continues 10/08/08: “It’s TOO LATE to REVERSE what’s been done for MY MEN have been REJECTED … Now is the Time to OVERCOME and GET RIGHT With ALL … FREEeeeeeeeeeeeee———DOM at last … Your HEART will SWELL with LOVE and it will be EASY to REMAIN In Me when others are On THE BOAT With YOU”

Cargo’s Last Stand: 1969 – 2012 — We lost our jobs today

I’ll say more later, but I changed my cargo photos category back to Cargo’s Last Stand, which had temporarily been NWA > Delta Cargo.

I originally called it Cargo’s Last Stand to document NWA’s parking all of the 747 freighters, and then changed it to something more positive when Delta took over and we just handled passenger aircraft cargo.

We just found out this morning that Delta (who bought NWA) will now outsource our cargo operation here in Anchorage, starting 1/1/13.

Leah just said on Facebook that our cargo building was put into operation by NWA in 1969:

I believe 1969 and was expanded in 1972 to what is now occupied by LSG [flight kitchen] and ELS [plant maintenance].

I started working in Anchorage in 1980, and did a shift in this same air freight building in 1981.

All of the Cargo’s Last Stand photos are still posted. Just click the category in the Categories menu on the right. There are currently 35 pages of posts.

Solar Max Chart: Approaching the Top of the Trough — Gorgeous auroras expected! But if one gets too gorgeous our power grid isn’t EMP protected, thanks to Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski and Congress

In Anchorage, last Thursday night we had an amazing, GLORIOUS light show! The entire sky to the west, north and east was filled with glorious lights — including overhead! I witnessed this personally, and am even more in awe of God — ‘what would You have me to do?’

I saw an aurora in Anchorage about 20 years ago that was directly overhead, which I’ll never forget. I have said it was like God coming his hair. But this one had so much energy. What blew me away were huge donut shaped pulses almost directly overhead (slightly to the west and north of overhead) that looked like they were slamming down this amazing energy on me, more than one pulse per second. Selah.

And we can expect more gorgeous displays this winter. BUT our power grid and electronics are not EMP protected (explained in the links below), because Congress won’t act to protect our country for just the cost of one stealth bomber.

So hopefully we won’t get a northern lights show that is too wonderful, like has happened in the past, before we had delicate electronics.

Keep worrying about your football games people. Don’t bother getting mad about the Federal Reserve banksters, the CFR manipulating our foreign policy plunging us in endless wars, and certainly don’t concern yourselves with our ruling elite hanging out in the Bilderberg meetings to plot the course of the world.

Check out The Illuminati: Facts & Fiction in paperback on Amazon.com, or e-book on Kindle, Nook, or Google Play. http://www.amazon.com/Illuminati-Facts-Fiction-Mark-Dice/dp/0967346657/ref=sr…

Mark Dice is a media analyst, political activist, and author who, in an entertaining and educational way, gets people to question our celebrity obsessed culture, and the role the mainstream media and elite secret societies play in shaping our lives. Check out Mark’s books in paperback on Amazon.com or e-book on Kindle, Nook, or Google Play.

Mark frequently stirs up controversy from his commentaries, protests, and boycotts, and has repeatedly been featured in major media outlets around the world.

Several of Mark’s YouTube videos have gone viral, earning him a mention on ABC’s The View, Fox News’ O’Reilly Factor, TMZ.com, and other mainstream media outlets. Mark has also been featured in (or attacked in) the New York Post’s Page Six, Rolling Stone Magazine, USA Today, The New York Daily News, and in major papers in Pakistan and Iran.

Mark Dice appears in several documentary films including Invisible Empire, The 9/11 Chronicles, and has been featured on the History Channel’s Decoded and the Sundance Channel’s Love/Lust: Secret Societies and more. He enjoys enlightening zombies, as he calls them, (ignorant people) about the mass media’s effect on our culture, pointing out Big Brother’s prying eyes, and exposing elite secret societies along with scumbag politicians and their corrupt political agendas. You can support Mark’s work by sending a PayPal donation to Donate@MarkDice.com or by using the Donate link on MarkDice.com.

He has called into several top-rated talk shows dozens of times, including the Sean Hannity Show, Glenn Beck, and Michael Savage, and verbally battles with the hosts on various issues since he has never been asked to be a guest on them as of yet. Audio of some of these calls are then posted online.

The term “fighting the New World Order” is used by Mark to describe some of his activities, and refers to his and others’ resistance and opposition (The Resistance) to the overall system of political corruption, illegal wars, elite secret societies, mainstream media, Big Brother and privacy issues; as well as various economic and social issues.

Dice and his supporters sometimes refer to being “awake” or “enlightened” and see their knowledge of these topics as part of their own personal Resistance to the corrupt New World Order. This Resistance involves self-improvement, self-sufficiency, personal responsibility and spiritual growth.

Mark Dice is the author of several books on current events, secret societies and conspiracies, including his newest book, Big Brother: The Orwellian Nightmare Come True which is available on Amazon.com, Kindle and Nook. While much of Mark’s work confirms the existence and continued operation of the Illuminati today, he is also dedicated to debunking conspiracy theories and hoaxes and separating the facts from the fiction; hence the “Facts & Fiction” subtitle for several of his books. He has a bachelor’s degree in communication.

If you have an iPad or Android tablet, then you can download the Kindle app and then download any of Mark’s books from the Kindle store for only $6.99 or $7.99. Some of them are also available in e-book on Google Play. Or you can get paperback copies from Amazon.com too if you prefer a physical book. They are not available in stores. A lot of work and research went into them and they’ll save you countless hours of web surfing or YouTube watching in your search for pieces of the puzzle. Your support also funds more of Mark’s videos and other operations. Equipment, software, travel, and the props all cost money, so by purchasing his paperback books and e-books, you are helping The Resistance continue and your help is greatly appreciated. Be sure to subscribe to Mark’s YouTube channel, and look him up on Facebook, and Twitter. http://www.YouTube.com/MarkDicehttp://www.Facebook.com/MarkDice http://www.Twitter.com/MarkDicehttp://www.MarkDice.com

Historic Anchorage International Photo: Red Tails at B-Gates and Cargo — Where I still spend much of my life…

One of my former NWA bosses, Curt Jensen, took this wonderful historic shot a few decades ago, and has now posted it on Facebook. Thanks, Curt!

The DC-10 and 747 (international flight) passenger aircraft are parked at the end of the B-concourse at Anchorage International airport.

And in the background, behind the then-tiny control tower, is a Northwest Airlines red tail, 747 cargo freighter parked at our cargo warehouse with the nose open for nose loading. This was long before the transload days, when three freighters were parked side-by-side at one time.

The airport has since been remodeled. I now spend most of my time at the cargo facility, but bring freight to and from the Delta passenger planes that still park in this oft-windy location, where we also unload some of the bags and the freight. We also pick up and drop off the mail.

A Western Airlines airplane can be seen behind the B-concourse.

Olympus E-PL5 Camera: Ultimate versatility in compact size and light weight — 30 lenses available so far!

Here is a super sweet, super feel-good, 40-second VIDEO introducing the new Olympus E-PL5 camera! This video is especially for CAT LOVERS!

Just released hours ago (available in October), the new PEN E-PL5 has a 180° tilting screen and the awesome 16MP sensor of the Olympus E-M5! 30 lightweight lenses by different manufacturers are available for it (from fisheye to super-telephoto*), and it’s very effective IBIS (in the body image stabilization) works with all of them.

An optional electronic optical viewfinder can be attached to the hot shoe.

* Some of the lenses, especially the telephotos, don’t have the ultimate resolution sharpness and contrast, yet. Also, shallow depth of field is most often impossible to obtain with the smaller M43 sensor and the small lenses that aren’t fast enough to compare to what can be done with a full-frame sensor camera [f/stop has to be twice as fast as a full frame sensor camera to compensate for the affect of the smaller sensor on depth of field. But most of the M43 lenses aren’t even as fast as the faster full frame lenses]. Given those drawbacks, it’s remarkable what this small camera can do, usually without a tripod!

Highly recommended!

Jeff : )

Our power outage in Anchorage

Well, I went for a walk around our neighborhood a few hours ago with my RX100. I’m documenting the power outage in our neighborhood at 4am while getting some exercise.

This time I took photos of the ‘Holiday’ gas station on the corner. It actually warmed my heart when they put it up a few years ago, having grown up in Bloomington, Minnesota, which I think is the home of Holiday stores and gas stations.

The station on the corner had this really nice looking green, chalet style roof too.

But then they put up this neon sign which sold garbage soft drinks, etc.. They ruined the corner with that gaudy, low-life neon sign. Today, the neon sign is dark, and I captured this historic moment with the amazing Sony RX100.

Holiday, please take down the neon signs, selling poison-drinks to people. They don’t belong in a residential area. Thank you.

Our 2-block by 3-block area is pitch black, surrounded by houses and streetlights that have power. Hopefully, it won’t be much longer (it’s been 32 hours), but who knows. There is no sign of the repair crews anywhere. Maybe we’re at the bottom of the totem pole in their priority list.

Maybe the transformer that was blown is flying up on a freighter from the lower 48.

Could be much worse … way worse.

Good wake up call / reality check : )
