In Amerika Law No Longer Exists: The Extermination Of Truth
A quote...."February 02, 2013 "Information Clearing House" - In the 21st century Americans have experienced an extraordinary collapse in the rule of law and in their constitutional protections. Today American citizens, once a free people protected by law, can be assassinated and detained in prison indefinitely without any evidence being presented to a court of their guilt, and they can be sentenced to prison on the basis of secret testimony by anonymous witnesses not subject to cross examination. The US “justice system” has been transformed by the Bush/Obama regime into the ”justice system” of Gestapo Germany and Stalinist Russia. There is no difference."
Let's make this perfectly clear, many of the acts described by Paul Craig Roberts above are supposedly given sanction by provisions within the recently passed NDAA....BUT, those provisions DIRECTLY contradict Articles within the United States Constitution itself.  As such they  are CLEARLY "repugnant" to said constitution by court precedent, and are THEREFORE "NULL & VOID" by lawful definition.  The provisions are clearly illegal, and any individual or organization which attempts to enforce them is automatically engaging in unlawful, illegal, unconstitutional and criminal activity that could, and should, be construed as an act of terrorism against United States citizens. - mpg
The Politics of Aggressive War
A quote...."When is it acceptable for a country to engage in an act of aggressive war? Can it be justified to engage in an act that has been recognized by the world community and laid down in international law as a crime against humanity? Not just my humanity but all humanity? -- These are questions the world community should have been asking itself everyday for approximately the past two decades, but it has not. For it was approximately that long ago that one of the world’s superpowers began engaging in acts of aggression wherever it saw fit in order to show its strength, military might and terrorize the world into bending to its will." - also posted at AlethoNews

Criminal Insanity of Clinton’s Double-think
A quote...."February 02, 2013 "Information Clearing House" -  In her farewell speech, outgoing US secretary of state Hillary Clinton accused Russia and Iran of “stepping up” military support for Syria and thereby adding fuel to possible regional conflict. -- Her words displayed breath-taking myopia and double-think, and this from somebody who is being hailed as one of America’s brightest foreign diplomats in decades. [She is a mass-murdering, terrorist supporting, giggling, psychotic, freak! - See...Artlc1 - Artcl2 - Artcl3] -- The first thing about Clinton’s remarks is: so what? Both Russia and Iran have long-standing mutual defense pacts with the Syrian government of President Bashar al-Assad. If those countries are sharing military equipment and personnel then that is perfectly legal under the terms of defense agreements signed between sovereign states."

Drone Reality - When Will We Realize That It Is Murder?
A quote...."In his essay “A Hanging,” George Orwell recounts, in great detail, the events he witnessed leading up to the execution of a man. It is important to note that before becoming an outspoken critic of the hypocrisy of Governments, George Orwell worked for one. He was a member of the Indian Imperial Police, having served in Burma, a British colony at the time."

Cameron's Attack on George Galloway Reflects the West's Self-delusions
A quote...."On Wednesday afternoon in the British Parliament, near the end of question time for British Prime Minister David Cameron, a short though incredibly revealing exchange occurred between Cameron and Respect Party MP George Galloway. Whatever one's preexisting views might be of either of these two polarizing figures is entirely irrelevant to the points and facts raised here about this incident." - Source:  Guardian

Christians being 'driven' out of Libya
Hagee's Hordes of Zio-Worshiping, al-CIA'da loving, PNAC supporting, Armageddon Cultists must be celebrating.  More dead Christians for their masters in Tel Aviv. - mpg -- A quote...."Vatican City - Christians are being driven out of eastern Libya by Muslim fundamentalists, the Catholic Church's main clergyman in the country told the Vatican missionary news agency Fides"

Mossad’s Pakistani agent arrested in Lahore
Special Geo-Political Note - A quote...."Coming hot on the heals of a Mossad spy being arrested in Lebanon who had been providing information to the Zionists for decades, a Pakistani recruited by Mossad has also been arrested in Lahore. While the arrest took place several weeks ago, details have just emerged. - The Pakistani was recruited during his incarceration in Guantanamo Bay where he was held for two and a half years. The fact that he was recruited by the Israeli spy agency Mossad reflects the deep links between the US and its Zionist ally. Guantanamo Bay (or Gitmo in regular parlance) is an illegal blackhole run by the US on a Cuban island illegally occupied by the US. -- Subjected to torture during which he was offered a deal to work for Mossad in return for early release and huge rewards, the culprit agreed. Under interrogation, he revealed that from Gitmo he was sent to Spin Boldak in Afghanistan that is close to the Pakistani border."  -bold by website editor
Another terrorist "graduate" from Gitmo identified, just like Sufyan Bin Qumu, who trained the "rebels" in Libya.  Imagine if this Mossad agent had carried out a terrorist attack against US interests as Sufyan Bin Qumu was accused of doing.  He supposedly participated in the attack against the US embassy in Benghazi Libya which killed ambassador Chris Stevens.  Who, before his untimely death, was  apparently coordinating massive weapons shipments and logistical support for al-CIA'da in Syria. 

You see how utterly ridiculous this looks folks?  For this country and its citizens to pretend it's a war on terror when it appears it's the United States, Israel, and the Gulf Monarchies who are constantly supporting a war of terror....and terrorists.  Do any of you out there understand just how sick it makes the citizens of this country appear as they continue to support these policies? - mpg - Topix  ||  US SoT - Al CIA'da In Libya  ||  US SoT - Al CIA'da In Syria  ||  US Support of Terror  ||

No Obama, Americans Aren't Committed to Aiding Terrorists in Syria
A quote...."On Tuesday President Obama announced more aid to Syrian rebels to the tune of $155 million, bringing the total amount sent so far to $365 million. - The statement from Obama's White House reads "The relief we send doesn’t say “Made in America,” but make no mistake—our aid reflects the commitment of the American people." - Which Americans?  Do they know the aid money is going to radical Islamic terrorists who seek to overthrow a moderate leader?  I wonder if the rebels will keep the Chili's Restaurant in Syria after the "barbaric" Assad regime falls."

South Lebanon: Israel Admits to Stealing Land in Adaisseh
A quote...."A week ago, Israeli newspaper Maariv published an article titled “Kibbutz Lands Over Lebanese Border.” The story indicated that the management of the Misgav-Am kibbutz, a settlement located across from the Lebanese town of Adaisseh, “was informed by the Israeli interior ministry that a part of [the colony] falls on sovereign Lebanese territory.”" - Source: al-Akhbar

Israeli Election; Fake Democracy
What?  You didn't know that Israel, the only so-called "democracy" in the Middle East has never had a constitution?  Well, now you know. - mpg -- A quote...."A lot had been written about last week’s Israeli election. Unfortunately, most of these writings lack real substance and discuss only results, political parties, personality profiles, anticipated future coalition partners, and unrealistic delusional predicted effects on peace process and on the Palestinians. All these writings gave the illusion that Israel is democratic rather than extreme racist theocratic colonial state. -- To be democratic a country must have a constitution that regulates the government. Since its illegitimate inception Israel had never established a constitution as demanded by the UN in 1948 as a condition for inclusion in the international organization." - bold by website editor

UK Liberal Democrat ban the phrase “the Jews”
First off, it's a ridiculous violation of freedom of speech.  Soon people won't be able to say "the Bankers" or "the Politicians" or "the Europeans" etc. Second, it's stupid, it's just really, really, stupid. Third, they're NOT JEWS!  Ninety percent are a bunch of Caucasoid Kazarians with delusions of grandeur and a faux-religion, who were thrown out of Russia by their fellow compatriots who couldn't stand them and their despicable attitude towards all those who weren't part of their criminal cartel!  Fine!  If you're in Britain, just call them "those Criminal Kazarians" and leave it at that. - mpg

Can Hagel Resist Assimilation?
Too late, he's already been assimilated.  In regards to the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium, resistance does appear to be futile, at least for all those willing to sell themselves to obtain positions of power.  His nomination has become a remarkable demonstration of Israel's colonial rule over this country.  Not one executive nominee will be confirmed, nor will one campaigning politician be selected, without their complete obeisance to Israel.  Worse, everyone in Washington DC has to demonstrate their obeisance by PUBLICLY groveling, on their knees, for even the slightest failure to consistently and constantly praise their masters in Tel Aviv during their ENTIRE political career, much less if they should ever voice even the slightest criticism of Israel's policies. What happened during Hagel's inquisition was embarrassing for him and his country and a disgusting spectacle to watch. - mpg

Hagel obeyed Senate taboo against criticism of Israel– ‘our most important ally in the entire world’
Related Article - More on Hagel's groveling.  It was a shameful and utter repudiation of this nation's national sovereignty.  To watch so-called American representatives perform like trained apes on behalf of the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium....for the money and media influence of that organization's membership -- a pitiful tiny minority of this nation's population (less than 2%) -- was profoundly disturbing.  To watch them place the interests of some six million plus Kazarians living in a foreign country over the interests of 315 million United States citizens was politically shattering .  This ENTIRE salutatory episode, demonstrates beyond a shadow of a doubt who REALLY runs this....colony. - mpg

Alan Sabrosky : Hagel hearings reveal Israeli imprint on Capitol Hill
Related Article - A quote...."I was appalled that "GOP lawmakers began sharply questioning his (Hagel's) commitment to Israel and his willingness to take a hard line with Iran over its disputed nuclear program. Several (mostly Jewish) Democratic senators expressed elsewhere varying concerns for similar reasons. -- Hello? -- The only commitment any US senator should consider is a nominee's commitment to the United States. And Iran's possible acquisition of some nuclear weapons someday pales in the shadow of Israel's existing nuclear arsenal (300-400 nuclear weapons, by best estimates)." - bold by website editor

The “Six Million” Myth
A quote...."Author Don Heddesheimer’s book, The First Holocaust: Jewish Fundraising Campaigns With Holocaust Claims During and After World War One, is an important piece of the revisionist puzzle. Heddesheimer cogently documents the slew of previous attempts by Jews to disseminate deceitful and untrue atrocity propaganda before, during and after World War I. The First Holocaust features an amazing collection of press clippings and propaganda articles dating back to the late 19th century that make claims of the suffering and imminent extermination of European Jewry. Among such articles we find that Jews have, dozens of times before WWII, invoked the cabalisitc “6,000,000″ number as the amount of Jews on the verge of death and destruction during various periods of turmoil and conflict in Europe and Russia." -- Topix ||  More Evidence Would Have Been Better - 11-05-12 - mpg  ||

Is Our Government Involved in Insurrection Against the People? This is Why They Hate the Second Amendment.
A quote...."What is the definition of Insurrection? -- Here it is: The act or an instance of open revolt against civil authority or a constituted government. -- Does it define the present state we are in? It is not always the people in revolt. It is the Federal Government defying the Constitution and the rule of law. Using the end justifies the means breaking the law all the way. President Barrack Obama actions have been an act of war against the American people. He swore an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. Everything he has done has been to undermine the Constitution. He sees himself as a law unto himself. He is acting as a dictator or a king making  edicts or decrees."

The Summit is the culmination of roughly a decade of efforts to create a viable mechanism for greater integration in the Americas, and particularly a year of planning by a “troika” of representatives from, believe it or not, Chile, Venezuela and Cuba. They were able to pull it off successfully, despite their obvious differences, and all 33 presidents or heads of state from the region attended, with the exception of Hugo Chavez from Venezuela, who sent a letter with his Vice-President Nicolás Maduro. -- CELAC explicitly excludes the US and Canada, a historic first for a hemispheric organization with huge symbolic importance, because it answers a long-standing dream for unity of the subcontinent that harks back to Simón Bolívar and the struggles for independence from the European colonial powers." - bold by website editor

The President of Perpetual War
Must Read - A quote...."Four years into his presidency, Barack Obama’s political formula should be obvious. He gives fabulous speeches teeming with popular liberal ideas, often refuses to take the actions necessary to realize those ideas and then banks on most voters, activists, reporters and pundits never bothering to notice—or care about—his sleight of hand. -- Whether railing on financial crime and then refusing to prosecute Wall Street executives or berating health insurance companies and then passing a health care bill bailing out those same companies, Obama embodies a cynical ploy—one that relies on a celebrity-entranced electorate focusing more on TV-packaged rhetoric than on legislative reality."

The United States is deploying troops in 35 African countries, beginning with Libya, Sudan, Algeria and Niger. Reported by Associated Press on Christmas Day, this was missing from most Anglo-American media. -- The invasion has almost nothing to do with "Islamism", and almost everything to do with the acquisition of resources, notably minerals, [dollar hegemony] and an accelerating rivalry with China. Unlike China, the US and its allies are prepared to use a degree of violence demonstrated in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Palestine. As in the cold war, a division of labour requires that western journalism and popular culture provide the cover of a holy war against a "menacing arc" of Islamic extremism, no different from the bogus "red menace" of a worldwide communist conspiracy." - bold/underline by website editor - Topix ||  There Go The Chinese Again - 07-21-12 - mpg  ||

Mali: Here We Go Again
A quote...."January 30, 2013 "Information Clearing House" - In testimony before Senate and House committees, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton enthusiastically endorsed increased U.S. intervention in Africa. When government officials seem incapable of learning obvious lessons from the recent past, maybe their incentive is not to learn but to keep doing the same destructive things. -- President Obama’s inaugural speech contained this line, which has gone quite overlooked: “America will remain the anchor of strong alliances in every corner of the globe. And we will renew those institutions that extend our capacity to manage crisis abroad.” -- That’s a recipe for perpetual war and perpetual fiscal crisis."

American Military Power Interview with William Blum

This longtime critic of U.S. imperialism left the State Department in protest against the Vietnam War and founded the alternative paper ‘Washington Free Press’. His books Killing Hope and Rogue State meticulously document U.S. military and covert CIA interventions, as well as U.S. assassinations around the world.

The American Empire, RIP

The idea that the American Century is a relic of the past, and we are entering a "new world order" of divided rather than hegemonic power, is relatively new, and still controversial. There are those who insist it ain’t necessarily so, primarily neocons of the second mobilization such as Robert Kagan, who are quick to reassure all right-thinking patriotic Americans that we’re still Number One and warn against the fatal lure of committing "superpower suicide." -- To the rest of us, however – that is, to everyone outside the neocons’ cultic universe – the signs of the Great American Contraction are everywhere, most noticeably in the incomes, productivity, and general economic well-being of ordinary Americans."

William Cook : Verbal Defecation Buries Truth
Quote of the Day...."Seven to eight hundred thousand Palestinians were driven from their homes and lands, into exile in foreign countries or into Gaza. They are a people without a homeland, contrary to the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. No passports, no recognized rights to employment or medical care or support of any kind—in Beirut and other cities in Lebanon, in Syria, in Jordan. To this day they live in refugee camps, thousands imprisoned with no place to go, no right of return, yet any Jew living anywhere in the world, who never stepped foot in Palestine, who has no Semitic blood in his/her veins,  has a “right of return.” How can this be? Where is the justice?"

Obviously, the Superbowl makes a very inviting target. There have even been movies made about such attacks including "Black Sunday" and "The Sum of All Fears" (based on the Tom Clancy book of the same name). - Our best weapon to deter such a false-flag attack is to create doubt in the minds of the perpetrators; doubt that the cover story to frame an innocent third-party nation will be believed by the public.

The Tyranny Before Us
Special Note - A quote...."I believe that a tyrant must have four conditions extant for him to fulfill his ruinous destiny. One, a compliant and sympathetic press. Two, a supportive or subjugated legislative branch. Three, a powerful police force which swears fealty to the tyrant himself. And four, an unarmed or significantly under armed citizenry. Of course, it is critical to note that if the press were to operate unencumbered by its own biased ideology or by the tyrant himself, conditions two through four simply could not survive. Nonetheless, at the end of the the day the tyrant can, and will, permit no meaningful opposition. Thankfully, not all four of these conditions currently exist in America… not yet."

Turkey: With EU Talks Stalled, Erdogan Suggests Ankara May Join SCO
Geo-Political Shock Alert - A quote...."Up until only the last two years, the question of whether Turkey was “drifting east” seemed to dominate any discussion regarding the country and its future trajectory. But an improved Turkish relationship with the United States, a deteriorating one with Iran and a deepening involvement with NATO have all contributed towards pushing that question into the background. -- Now, though, it’s none other than Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan who has helped revived the “drifting east” debate. Speaking on Turkish television the other night, the PM was asked about his country’s stalled and troubled European Union membership drive. Erdogan’s blunt bombshell of an answer suggested Turkey is considering dropping its EU bid in favor of joining the China- and Russia-led Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO)."
After what Erdogan did to Syria?  Is he nuts? Would the SCO be nuts to consider this? The SCO stands for non-interference in the affairs of other nations, national sovereignty, the rule of international law, regional security, economic cooperation and the eradication of state sponsored terrorism.  EVERYTHING Erdogan has been completely trashing for the last five years on behalf of his Israeli and NATO masters!!!  Of course it would be a geo-political coup for the SCO to have Turkey join their organization, but would they really want to?  Could they trust an Erdogan lead Turkey....ever?  - mpg - one commentator stated.....
"Erdogan would do well in steering his country "east" into the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. [And] Russia and China are financially solvent, and growing economically. -- On the other hand, however, the Euro is poised to shatter into a thousand pieces, and countries like Greece and Spain are very nearly at the point of defaulting on their loans. It is not a question of IF the Euro will implode; it is only a question of when." -- *Michael Rivero*

Two recent events - the sentencing last week of CIA torture whistleblower John Kirikaou to 30 months in prison and the invasive investigation to find the New York Times' source for its reporting on the US role in launching cyberwarfare at Iran - demonstrate how devoted the Obama administration is not only to maintaining, but increasing, these secrecy powers." - bold by website editor - also posted at ICH

Contains Video - Alt - (YuTb - 2min58sec - Jan 25, 2013) - Source:  AussieNews1 -- A quote....""Why do we consider banks to be like holy churches?" is the rhetorical question that Iceland's President Olafur Ragnar Grimson asks (and answers) in this truly epic three minutes of truthiness from the farce that is the World Economic Forum in Davos. Amid a week of back-slapping and self-congratulatory party-outdoing, as John Aziz notes, the Icelandic President explains why his nation is growing strongly, why unemployment is negligible, and how they moved from the world's poster-child for banking crisis 5 years ago to a thriving nation once again. Simply put, he says, "we didn't follow the prevailing orthodoxies of the last 30 years in the Western world." There are lessons here for everyone - as Grimson explains the process of creative destruction that remains much needed in Western economies - though we suspect his holographic pass for next year's Swiss fun will be reneged..."

Revolution in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia?
Analysis - A quote...."Revolutionary change in the kingdom would be a disaster for American interests across the board. Saudi Arabia is America’s oldest ally in the Middle East, a partnership that dates to 1945.

Obama should ensure the best possible intelligence is available to see a crisis coming and then try to ride the storm." - also posted at ICH
