Channeling Road Apples through a Cosmic Cider Press
Must Read - A quote...."This is the sort of thing the 1% gets up to and this is the sort of thing Nature does to the people stupid enough to let the 1% get away with their behavior; like Bill Gates killing children with his vaccines. Of course, as the human experiment gets more and more absurd and indifferent to anything besides dick and stomach issues, Nature is right there alongside of them with similar interests. What the heck, just to show you how strange life can be.  --  The thing about materialism is that it cancels out your humanity. The moral compass goes haywire and starts spinning like the clock on Twilight Zone. This man's superiors approved of his actions. They defended his kicking a 9 month pregnant woman in the stomach. They buried any and all investigation and this thug had already assaulted two other people previously. This is the kind of thing materialism brings about and who would be more about materialism than the 1%? Who does the thug enforcement arm serve? They obviously serve the 1%. They are ramping up for something and they don't care who knows about it...."

Tomgram: Michael Klare, Oil Wars on the Horizon
Must Read - A quote...."There has been much discussion recently about the Obama administration’s “pivot” from the Greater Middle East to Asia: the 250 Marines sent to Darwin, Australia, the littoral combat ships for Singapore, the support for Burmese “democracy,” war games in the Philippines (and a drone strike there as well), and so on.  The U.S. is definitely going offshore in Asian waters, or put another way, after a decade-long hiatus-cum-debacle on the Eurasian continent, the Great Game v. China is back on. -- While true, however, the importance of this policy change has been exaggerated.  At the moment, as it happens, the greatest game isn’t in Asia at all; it’s in the Persian Gulf where, off the coast of Iran and in bases around the region, the U.S. is engaged in a staggering build-up of naval and air power.  Most people would have little idea that this was even going on, since it rarely makes its way into the mainstream and even less often onto front pages or into the headlines." - also posted at BLN

Why I Hate Republicans (Including Tea Partiers), Even More Than I Hate Democrats
Must Read - A quote...."The more I’ve tried to find differences between them, the less I’ve found. -- For example, both Republicans and Democrats accept the minor lies told by the politicians of their party (Republicans believe in free trade, Democrats in global warming), as well as the big lies told by politicians of both parties (9/11/2001, War on Terror, death of bin Laden, Arab Spring, etc). -- Neither Republicans nor Democrats have ever complained about the daily abuses committed by the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration. -- None of them seem to care about the use of torture as a way to extract “confessions,” nor about the end of habeas corpus and posse comitatus or the expansion of the surveillance state. -- Year after year, election after election, both Republicans and Democrats seem to agree, and have made an effort to convince us about it, that just by changing the puppets in the White House, while keeping the same scoundrels, rascals, cheaters, tax evaders, swindlers, scam artists, fraudsters, charlatans and scumbags of their party on the hill, everything will be okay in America."

Bush Found Guilty Of War Crimes

Brookings: A Reliable Imperial Tool
A quote...."Brookings calls itself a Washington-based NGO "conducting high-quality, independent research" to advance three goals: democracy, economic and social welfare for all, and a "more safe, prosperous and cooperative international system." -- In fact, it's a corporate financed imperial tool. It serves wealth and power. It deplores democracy, social welfare, and equal opportunity. It supports Washington's longstanding Syria and Iran regime change agenda. Doing so ignores rule of law principles."

Does The West Have A Future?
A quote...."A couple of years ago a noted philosopher wrote an article in which he suggested that Americans live in an artificial or virtual reality. Another noted philosopher said that he thought there was a 25% chance that the philosopher was right. I am convinced that he is right. Americans live in the Matrix. Nothing that they know or think that they know is correct." - also posted at ICH

Truthers, Rejoice! CIA Leaks After Hitting The Iceberg of Truth
A quote....""From underwear bombers to Libya’s globetrotting death squads, it turns out that the US government itself is driving this omnipresent global threat and constitutes the premier state-sponsor of terrorism. From the very creation of Al Qaeda in the mountains of Afghanistan, to Al Qaeda death squads bombing targets across Syria today, the US is machinating behind the scenes to perpetuate its foreign policy through a false strategy of tension where the villains and “heroes” are of their own creation. It is only through apathy and ignorance that they succeed in foisting this narrative upon the public, as well as our daily patronage of the corporate-financier interests devising and driving this agenda." -- *Tony Cartalucci*, "Latest Al Qaeda Boogeyman is CIA Agent." - also posted at 9/11InsdJob

An Abomination and a Rank Obscenity
05-10-12

A few comments here....

Homosexual behavior between two consenting adults is personal.  Marriage however, is a social and societal institution that reflects the fundamental aspirations of its members. An institution which deeply affects society, the social relationships between its members, and the fundamental structures upon which that society is founded.  It is therefore not "private" or just "between two consenting adults" in any sense of the word.

Being "gay" and the entire "gay industry" is a fantasy, a fashion statement, a deliberate lie concocted by this nations wealthy parasites and promulgated by the mass-media they own to reflect their new found preferences and tastes, along with those of the fawning, genuflecting, obsequious, coteries they employ so freely these days. 

There is no proof whatsoever that homosexual activity is determined by anything other than circumstance.  It is not determined by your genes, but by a person's life experiences.  The male citizens of Sparta, who were all forced to undergo homosexual training in the army did not suddenly change their genes.  It was a choice imposed upon them by their society.  There is NOT one single scintilla of support for a "discriminated" class of people, only a discriminated class of behavior.

Obama is a well known bi-sexual, you can look up his prior history in Chicago, it's on the web.  The shenanigans going on in Washington DC for the last few decades by our illustrious parasites are well known.  From Rumsfeld watching beefy US marines abusing inmates at Gitmo through a high speed video link while he got to direct all the "action", to Jeff Gannon's eight hundred visits to the White House where he engaged in activities, most likely with Karl Rove, that can best be described by Rove's nick name given to him by Bush himself...."Turd Blossom", to the actual recent termination of the Congressional Page program because this nation's representatives simply could not control themselves. To the DC Madam, her little "black book" and her obvious and deliberate murder to shut her up. To Dyncorp's pedophile rings set up for the enjoyment and pleasure of Washington DC's parasites and openly acknowledged in congressional testimony, to all the other activities going on in our New Roman Capital, it has become abundantly clear  that this society has passed the point of no return.

Lets not even discuss what this sort of behavior has done to the Catholic Church and the tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of children and young adults, permanently scared by what was done to them.

It has become abundantly obvious that one of the primary social engineering tools the New Unholy Roman Empire uses to coerce its citizens into conformity is a not so subtle application of Edward Bernay's techniques of sexual manipulation, not only in regards to heterosexual sex, but to play on the citizens fears of homosexual sex.

Buba as your cell mate in prison for example, or the sexual assaults conducted everyday by the TSA against millions of innocent travelers, or the threats, and more than threats, used by local police forces against the civilian population of this nation, or this technique's large scale use in the US military as a means of control, not only of their own members, but for those they capture and torture at sites like Abu Ghraib and Bagram air force base or th ehundreds of black sites scattered across the world.

The fact that this society is now willing to codify these behaviors, these "trendy" aspirations by our criminal psychotic parasites, by destroying the institution of marriage, is an abomination, and a rank obscenity! 

It is a manifest symptom (not a cause, so there's no "cure" for this, it's way too late for that), and a sure sign as it was in Rome, and all those other societies that have become this decadent and decayed, that this society cannot recover, nor does it want to recover, from its willful, relentless, downward spiral into cultural and economic debauchery, and total utter, moral, rot. - mpg -- Topix....

Shinseki announced the addition of some 1,900 mental health nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers to its existing workforce of 20,590 mental health staff in attempt to get a handle on the epidemic of suicides among combat veterans. Unfortunately, when presidents misuse our military on an unprecedented scale – and Congress lets them get away with it – the resulting stress causes military suicides to increase dramatically, both among active duty and retired service members.  In fact, military deaths from suicide far outnumber combat deaths. According to an article in the Air Force Times this month, suicides among airmen are up 40 percent over last year."

And even so far as terrorism is concerned, drone strikes have been criticised by none other than anonymous high ranking members of the US Administration as a ‘recruiting windfall’ for the militants."

What is Dylan thinking? He and Obama are no strangers. On February 9, 2010, Dylan performed "The Times They Are A-Changing" at the White House. If I remember correctly, Dylan seemed a bit sullen that night, and he skipped the final, feel good session at the end, when all the other performers gathered, beaming, around our Chief Executive, the one who can order you or anyone locked up without trial, or shot, sans fanfare, because we're in a never ending war, remember? Dylan's old squeeze, Queen Jane, sang at the same soiree, and before crooning, Baez even gazed at Obama and cooed, “Mr. President, you are much loved.” In our inverted country, grizzled peaceniks now serenade a war criminal."

Why The Euro Is So Strong, Or Why The Market Expects $700bn Of Fed QE3
Special Note - Multiple Charts - (click to enlarge)

Tyler Durden tries to answer (and he seems to be the only one this website editor has seen so far) a VERY IMPORTANT question.  -- Why is the Euro so ridiculously high relative to the USD???

It should be understood the over-valued Euro has been slowly destroying the "peripheral" states of the EU for the last two years and after they're destroyed, the "core" might very well be next.

The EU's peripheral states have a serious problem, they're locked into the Euro, and it doesn't appear that it's going to go down relative to the USD....EVER!

They can't inflate their national economies through monetary means because the individual nation states don't control their own currencies, therefore they're left with the only other alternative, fiscal means.  A fruitless, self-destructive policy of ever increasing "austerity" measures that are causing their economies to crater, along with their worker's earnings, business incomes and government tax revenues, driving up their entire over-all national (private, corporate, and government) debt loads to stratospheric levels. 

Meanwhile their bond markets are subject to ever increasing attacks by mostly US-NRE and British Banksters using endless supplies of derivatives created out of thin air (they've added another 150 trillion in the last two years alone) driving up their bond market interest rates, which is only adding to their ever increasing deficits.

Nobody's that stupid, no one could possibly be this incompetent, this whole thing appears to be part of a deliberate (and highly profitable) policy of economic-currency warfare against the EU, and there is only one so-called "state" and its two colonial Bankster capitols that would benefit most from such a massively destructive policy.

That would be the "state" of Israel, and its capitals of Wall Street and London.

Why an economic union of over five hundred million people would allow a  tiny, little, vicious, nasty, piss-ant, criminal enterprise of barely seven million people, along with its two English speaking colonies, to utterly destroy Europe's  attempt to create a viable economic union will no doubt forever remain a deep mystery to historians of the future.

And an utter life-destroying tragedy for the people of the EU. - mpg

When Fundamentals No Longer Apply, Review the Fundamentals
Must Read - A quote...."It must be difficult for the BRICS countries today. On one hand, they continue to jockey for respect among the Western powers, insisting on participating in quasi-European bailout funds like the IMF. On the other hand, they are also clearly aware of the Western nations' continuing efforts to surreptitiously devalue their domestic currencies, and the pernicious effect that has had on them as exporters and as lenders of capital. In that vein, it was interesting to note that during the latest BRICS Summit held this past March in New Delhi, the main topic of discussion centered on the creation of the group's first official institution, a so-called "BRICS Bank" that would fund development projects and infrastructure in developing nations. Although not openly discussed, reports suggest what they were really talking about was creating a type of BRICS central bank - an institution that could facilitate their ability to "do more business with each other in their local currencies, to help insulate from U.S. dollar fluctuations…"21 Given the incredible scale of western central bank intervention over the past six months, the BRICS' increasing frustration with their printing efforts should be a given by now. The real question is what they're doing about it, and what assets they're accumulating to protect themselves from the inevitable, which brings us to gold." - also posted at ZeroHedge

A quote...."April 27, 2012 "Information Clearing House" --- The eurozone is slipping into a recession that could have been avoided. Had policymakers provided fiscal support for stricken countries in the South and guarantees on their government bonds, (as the USG does for US Treasuries) then their economies could have continued to grow while the necessary reforms were put in place. But the Troika (The IMF, the ECB, and the European Commission) decided to make the bailouts conditional on member states’ acceptance of harsh austerity measures which forced leaders to slash government payrolls, services and programs. The result was entirely predictable; economic activity began to sputter as one country after another succumbed to a vicious slump."

"Radar stealth aircraft are overrated"
Weapons Tech Alert - A quote...."They are only hidden from radar to the front of aircraft.   Airborne radar "looking down" or to their side will detect them.  In addition, slow B-2s and F-117 bombers can attack only at night since they are easy to see in daylight.  Even at night, fighters can use infrared sensors and even a spotlight to find them.  Recall that Yugoslav air defenses somehow tracked and shot down an F-117 at night in 1999, probably using older long-wave radar.   As a result, American stealth aircraft are escorted by non-stealthy EA-6B jamming aircraft and fighters."

Life in Occupied Palestine for about 4.2 million residents is hell. No one’s safe from Israel’s wrath."

Palestine and Its People: Understanding the Past
A quote...."In 1900, there were no Ashkenazi Jews living in Palestine; essentially none, that is, but a few, small mostly temporary Russian Jewish settlers, not totally unusual for various cults in the Holy Land at that time. Theodore Herzl, frequently designated ‘The Father of Modern Zionism’, because of the publication of his book, The Jewish State, in 1996, and because of this founding of the World Zionist Congress, a year later stated in 1897:


Thus the concept of ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians was introduced.

Not Losing to Fear in the Fight to Restore the Republic
A Call To Arms - A quote...."I once heard FDR say "the only the we have to fear, is fear itself". Today now the only thing the government can offer is fear itself to get their way. If we allow the tyrants to use fear tactics to keep people in line. Do not say anything or do anything so we do not make them mad will not save us. We will self censor ourselves and allow the despotic politicians to win. We cannot allow fear to drive our actions. -- Fear can make us die a thousand deaths because we know what we need to do, but we are afraid of the blow back that will occur of we make a stand. There is a point, we cannot be afraid of the consequences, not can we fear out own death, we cannot be afraid if we are swept up and taken away. We cannot be afraid of what the government will do to us. Fear more what will happen if we do not act. Yes, standing up to tyranny is a dangerous job, but life will be dangerous allowing it to happen. This is the time good men stand up."

The Phases of War: Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and Israel
A quote...."It certainly doesn’t look much like what we’re seeing in Afghanistan today. A feckless, corrupt, incompetent government kept alive and in place (we can’t really say "in power" since its reach doesn’t extend much beyond Kabul) by billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars and tens of thousands of U.S. and allied troops. Escalating, not diminishing violence against civilians. More frequent and more deadly incidents involving U.S. troops out of control, from burning Qurans to urinating on the bodies of dead Afghans, to the most recent war crime, the murder of 17 civilians including 9 children in Kandahar."
