GLADIO, Bin Laden to Erdogan, Belhadj and Hamas: Mossad´s and NATO´s Dirty Underwear 2012
Must Read - A quote...."A true axis of evil is geographically spanning from the Pentagon, via Europe, Turkey, Palestine and Hamas, Israel, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, all the way to Iraq, Iran, Georgia, Chechnya, Afghanistan and Pakistan. -- In temporal terms it is an axis that has it´s roots in the murderous NATO “Stay Behind” Armies of the Cold War, responsible for the murder of civilians and school children in Belgium, the Bologna bombing in Italy that killed countless civilians; the most serious war crimes against Serbs in NATO´s covert operations on the Balkan; the self inflicted wound of 9/11 and the subsequent war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq; the murder of US Soldiers as well as the creation of sectarian violence in Iraq; the Mavi Marmara act of piracy by Israel, which must be considered as being contemporary histories most intricate “false flag” operation; the still ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Libya by agency of Abdelhakim Belhadj who was a passenger on the Mavi Marmara; and the ongoing covert war on Syria, with a NATO and Belhadj Led “Free Syrian Army“."

Indefinite Tyranny and Extraordinary Treason: The Dark Legacy of The Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama Regime
Special Note - Quote of the Day...."It is not terrorism that threatens the core values and security of America and the West, but treason and tyranny. --- Specifically, the treason that is being committed against America and Western Civilization at the top does not originate from one particular political party with one set of beliefs, or from one dominant state, but from several states and several groups. --- Top Western politicians, bankers, spies, businessmen, intellectuals, scientists, and journalists are operating in a shadow world for shadow aims. 9/11 was their brainchild. They used the tragedy to start World War III, and establish an authoritarian world government. It is safe to say that they are a part of history's greatest, longest, and most evil conspiracy."

The Reason for War with Iran: Follow the Funny Money
Special Note - A quote...."The reason why we have an unstable world and a government out of control is because we have the International Bankers in control. If laws were not selectivity enforced, John D Rockefeller, Lord Rothschild and J.P. Morgan would be hanging from the gallows. These are the people who cause famines wars and misery. These are the people who impoverish nations and kill leaders who do not play ball with the moneychangers. -- The war they are trying to start with Iran has nothing to do with Nuclear weapons. Just have one nuclear tipped missile would not make a hill of beans if Israel has 300 of them and hundreds of anti missile batteries to knock them out of the sky before they reach Israel. It has to do with distracting the population from the coming economic implosion and putting in a corporate dictatorship to rule over the people through FIAT money."

The Decision-Makers-of-Wars & ‘You’
A quote...."The Decision-Makers-of-Wars have decided to end one in 2013. That is, after twelve years, after they made the decision to make that war in the first place. No talk of terrorists, wins, or liberation – no more. At least on that one. Same as the other one. The one that they ended with no WMD, no terrorists, and no democracy; only with added massive civilian casualties, fallen and injured soldiers, and loss of billions [trillions] of dollars- leaving behind a civil-war-torn nation in rubbles. And it looks like the Decision-Makers-of- Wars will be announcing another war to make. Just like the other ones, and the ones before that. And then there is you, my friends- my loyal patriotic American veterans and all those-that-are-yours."

Corruption in Fascist Business Model
A quote...."Few can define fascism. Many cannot recognize it. History provides shocking stories of its past episodes. But its root structural feature is the tight relationship between the state and large corporations of a nation, which permit enormous fraud and lead to grand inefficiency, even while aggression and war accompany its handiwork in an ugly fabric weave. Nowhere is the bond more scummy and corrupt than with the banking industry, not in general but in Wall Street where defense of the USDollar has come. That defense was contracted from the USGovt to Wall Street, whose ties developed into a vast network of corruption."

Lieberman to meet with Clinton in Washington next week
War Alert - A Quote To Note...."All these very public "frequent flyer" miles between Tel Aviv and DC have me very, very nervous. - I have reached an age where I don't believe in coincidences any more. - What I see, in all these movements of very prominent Israeli and US officials, is intense jockeying on precisely when the war against Iran will start."

"Obama wants to hold off until at least the elections, to give him the maximum "bounce" from such an action, if it goes well (An "October Surprise", perhaps?!?)" ., and there are many factors as to why an excellent outcome for such an attack may seriously be in question, which I have articulated before."

"But the Israeli government is desperate to have such an attack happen right the heck now, before the US economy gets turned on its head from the financial implications of the coming Euro meltdown, and how that will negatively impact many US banks with large exposure to Eurozone banks. Wars take money, and the banks really don't care who wins, as long as their "investments" in such wars remain sound."

"Additionally, many in the Israeli government understand, very clearly, that they have lost the hearts and minds of the American people on the prospect of yet another US sacrifice on the altar of potential Israeli hegemony in the Middle East." -- *Michael Rivero*

The Iraq war coverup: What did AIPAC do and when did it do it?
A quote...."As I pointed out yesterday, the Center for American Progress (CAP), a Democratic-Party-linked thinktank in D.C., has met quietly with officials of the Israel lobby group AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) and explicitly sought to squelch suggestions by its own journalists that AIPAC is pushing war on Iran. -- Notably it squelched a CAP blogger, Eli Clifton, who wrote in August at the thinktank's site that AIPAC's summons to Congress - PDF for sanctions on Iran "brings to mind eery parallels" to its campaign for Iraq sanctions that paved the way for that stupid war. Clifton's piece concluded...."

27 of 35 Bush Articles of Impeachment Apply to Obama
2012 Election Cycle - A quote...."When Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced 35 articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush on June 9, 2008, the 35 had been selected from drafts of nearly twice that many articles. -- President Obama has accumulated his own massive list of high crimes and misdemeanors that were unavailable for Bush’s list (thing’s like openly murdering U.S. citizens, launching massive drone wars, selectively and abusively prosecuting numerous whistleblowers as spies, holding Bradley Manning naked in isolation, attacking Libya without so much as bothering to lie to Congress, etc.). -- Nonetheless, it is instructive to review the 35 Bush articles in the Obama age.  It quickly becomes apparent that Obama has either exactly duplicated or closely paralleled most of the 35.  Here’s what I mean...."

The Anglo-Euro-Banks Credibility Crisis Deepens... 

Fraudulent Debt = Counterfeit Money
Must Read - A quote...."How is borrowing money based on fraudulent claims of asset value and future income any different from counterfeiting money? - Let's compare three financial criminals...."

• The first is an old-fashioned counterfeiter who doctors up paper and runs a printing press to produce fake currency.
• The second criminal borrows money based on a fraudulent asset and phantom future income. For example, the criminal might obtain a credit card based on false assets and income, or borrow money against a property that is worth far less than he claims and base his credit on an inflated fantasy income he does not actually receive.
• The third criminal borrows money from the Federal Reserve at zero interest and extends a loan to a fraudulent borrower because a government agency has guaranteed the loan. Whatever income the lender receives is pure gravy, and whatever losses are incurred when the fraud is uncovered are made good by the taxpayer.

Europe's "Great Deleveraging" Has Only Just Begun
A quote...."While Europe's financial services sector equity prices have retraced almost half of their May11 to Oct11 losses as we are told incessantly not to underestimate the impact of the LTRO, Morgan Stanley points out the other side of the balance sheet will continue to sag. While short-term liquidity (at least EUR-based liquidity as USD FX Swap lines are back at record highs this week) may have seen some of its risk culled, the real tail risk of the 'Great Deleveraging' has only just begun. As MS notes, we may have avoided a credit crunch but European banks could delever between EUR1.5 and EUR2 Trillion over the next 18 months as the unwind is far from over. History suggests that over a longer time-frame, around five to six years - the deleveraging could reach EUR4.5 Trillion assuming zero deposit growth and the LTRO will slow but not stop the process"

Why Notions of Systemic Failure Are On Par with Bigfoot and Unicorns for Most Investors
A quote...."....let's expand our analysis outside of professional traders to include asset managers and other institutional investors, the vast majority of whom are under the age of 60 or so. - Based on this age demographic, we find that there is an entire generation of investment professionals (aged 35-60) who...."

• Have never witnessed nor invested during a bear market in bonds
• Have never witnessed, nor invested during a credit market collapse
• Have never witnessed a secular shift in the global economy

"Consequently, the vast majority of professional investors are unable to contemplate truly dark times for the markets. After all, the two worst items most of them have witnessed (the Tech Bust and 2008) were both remedied within about 18 months and were followed by massive market rallies."

Merkel Snubs France As Europe's "AAA Club" Meets In Berlin Tomorrow ex-Sarko
A quote...."A few days after Germany proposed the stripping of Greek fiscal authority from the insolvent country, in exchange for providing funding for what German FinMin Schauble called today a "bottomless pit" (and Brüderle chimed in saying that "a default of the Greek government would be bitter but manageable), Sarkozy decided to demonstrate his "muscle" if not so much stature, and openly denied Germany, saying "There can be no question of putting any country under tutelage." Sure enough, it was now Germany's turn to reciprocate the favor. According to Bloomberg, "Finance ministers from the four euro- area countries with AAA ratings -- Germany, Finland, Luxembourg and the Netherlands -- will meet in Berlin tomorrow afternoon, a German Finance Ministry spokesman said." And as is well known, FrAAnce no longer a member of this, however meaningless, club."

As for how the plane was hijacked, the hijackers were there only in so far as to explain to the public what happened to the planes, and someone to blame it on. They all sucked at flying, who knows if they really even knew what was gonna happen (left hand not knowing what the right is doing) they could have been told it was a drill, there were war games like that going on. The real piloting was by remote control. And commercial 757s could easily be outfitted for that (SPC). They have to have a hijacker though because they can't very well explain away a plane just changing course by itself and ramming into building in key financial targets for a massive cover up. To hit either tower which were barely wider than a plane, or to hit the pentagon is a massive feat for even the best pilots. No way they could risk a miss. Those planes were guided, well minus one." - Topix ||  9/11-NORAD  ||

Why Do We Believe What We Believe?

It is hard to see how this is particularly surprising. Clapper pointed to the alleged Iranian plot to kill the Saudi ambassador in Washington D.C. as evidence that Iran seems more eager to assert itself, perhaps even inside the United States. But there were many people who raised serious questions about that rather implausible scenario (which involved hiring a Mexican drug gang to carry out the assassination)." - also posted at AlethoNews

"Simmons developed his "all debt and no equity" philosophy of capital management from having observed banks as a bank examiner, realizing that "Small banks in Texas were casual about getting the maximum use of their funds. . . banks were the most highly leveraged thing I saw. They borrowed most of their money and really didn't need much equity except for purposes of public confidence." Understanding that banks could be bought entirely with borrowed money, Simmons theorized that he should "buy a bunch, because one bank could be used to finance another. All debt and no equity." -- *Wikipedia*

As a result of Dr. Mossadegh’s nationalization program, the British militarily blockaded the territorial waters and national ports of Iran with the British Royal Navy and prevented Iran from exporting its oil. They also militarily prevented Iranian trade. London also froze Iranian assets and started a campaign to isolate Iran with sanctions. The government of Dr. Mossadegh was democratic and could not be vilified easily domestically by the British, so they began to portray Mossadegh as a pawn of the Soviet Union who would turn Iran into a communist country together with his Marxist political allies."

Oslo would have withdrawn Israeli troops from the occupied territories while affirming Palestine's right of self-determination. Rather than pursuing a 'comprehensive peace' with the Arab world, Clean Break advocated an aggressive pre-emptive military strategy to destabilize Iraq and eliminate Saddam Hussein. In addition, Clean Break retained the 'right of hot pursuit' anywhere within the occupied territories and encouraged 'seizing the initiative' by "engaging" Hezbollah, Syria and Iran to trigger ultimate regime change.

Massive US Military Buildup on Two Strategic Islands: Socotra and Masirah
War Alert - A quote....."Debka is less than reliable about these things, but if it turns out to be true, the implications are alarming. Neither Socotra or Masirah are positioned to seriously affect the invasion of Iran, especially Socotra. Neither island has existing facilities useful for military purposes. Even the airport runways are for light aircraft only, so this is a total garrisoning from the ground up and a very expensive operation. -- If this turns out to be true, it means the US is getting ready to seize control of both the Straight of Hormuz and the Gulf of Aden, to hold the rest of the world hostage with a threat to cut off the flow of Mideast oil unless the rest of the world goes along with the US agenda, which is really the Israeli agenda." -- *Michael Rivero*

This diversity of experts constituted a guarantee against the possible manipulation of the outcome; their number (over 160) and the duration of their mission (one month) would provide a much broader picture than was previously available.

The program was described by the department's diplomatic security branch in a little-noticed section of its most recent annual report and outlined in broad terms in a two-page online prospectus for companies that might bid on a contract to manage the program. It foreshadows a possible expansion of unmanned drone operations into the diplomatic arm of the American government; until now they have been mainly the province of the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency.

After helping the woman with her schemes, the man is usually discarded, and left alone to answer for her crimes. By the time he finds out that he has been betrayed, the woman has already left—and has moved on to her next victim—leaving him a broke and ruined man. - Sound familiar? It should.

Iran Turns Embargo Tables: To Pass Law Halting All Crude Exports To Europe
Related Article - A quote..."In what is likely a long overdue move, Iran has finally decided to give Europe a harsh lesson in game theory. Instead of letting Euro-area politicians score brownie points at its expense by threatening to halt imports and cut off the Iranian economy, the Iranian government will instead propose a bill calling for an immediate halt to oil deliveries to Europe. The move, with most reports citing the Iranian news agency Mehr, has come about in response to the EU agreement to impose sanctions against Iran, which were announced earlier this week. And why not? After all if Europe is indeed serious, sooner or later Iran will be cut off but in the meantime experience significant policy uncertainty, which is precisely what the flipflops on the ground need. The one thing that Europe, however is forgetting, is that all that whopping 0.8 Mb/d in imports will simply find a new buyer.Quickly."

NATO’s grisly crimes in Libya
A quote..."While Charles Ray - the US envoy here - portrays himself as the face of the free world, a champion of human rights and democracy and has been vociferous about his country's role in the Libyan invasion, it turns out that just like Vietnam and other illegal wars before it, Libya is turning into a major embarrassment for Uncle Sam. -- A report released last week by human rights groups in the Middle East presents extensive evidence of war crimes carried out in Libya by the United States, NATO and their proxy "rebel" forces during last year's invasion, that culminated in the murder of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi." - also posted at GlobalRsrch
