Who Will Liberate America? - Obama, the Human Rights Hypocrite
Special Note - A quote...."Is Obama a hypocrite or merely insouciant?  Or is he an idiot? -- According to news reports Obama’s White House meeting on Valentine’s day with China’s Vice President, Xi Jinping, provided an opportunity for Obama to raise “a sensitive human rights issue with the Chinese leader-in-waiting.”  The brave and forthright Obama didn’t let etiquette or decorum get in his way. Afterwards, Obama declared that Washington would “continue to emphasize what we believe is the importance of realizing the aspirations and rights of all people.” -- Think about that for a minute. Washington is now in the second decade of murdering Muslim men, women, and children in six countries. Washington is so concerned with human rights that it drops bombs on schools, hospitals, weddings and funerals, all in order to uphold the human rights of Muslim people. You see, bombing liberates Muslim women from having to wear the burka and from male domination. -- One hundred thousand, or one million, dead Iraqis, four million displaced Iraqis, a country with destroyed infrastructure, and entire cities, such as Fallujah, bombed and burnt with white phosphorus into cinders is the proper way to show concern for human rights. -- Ditto for Afghanistan.  And Libya." - Source: PaulCraigRoberts

How The Profit MotIve Drives U.S. Policy
A quote...."Jeremy Scahill story on Yemen provides insight into the mechanisms that drives U.S. policies. -- There is no moral aspect in it. The mechanism is solely driven by an ideology of profit for the few which gets implanted into its various clients with the intent to provide a motive for more of the same. -- The privatization in prisons in the U.S. is one example. If you have a private prison you want to further indictments to get it filled to, in the end, make more profit. -- If you are hired for fighting terrorism you want it to stay, or even increase, to continue your income." - (a.k.a.

US, Israel invoke terror to ratchet up war threats against Iran

Dirty Tricks By Israel, Washington, And NATO Are Bringing The World To The Edge of Nuclear War
A quote...."Israel and Washington have lost their monopoly on the global narrative. The 9/11 lie has collapsed under the weight of truth. In response, the crazies in Tel Aviv are starting World War III by staging false flag attacks around the world and blaming them on Iran in order to isolate it from the international community before bombing it. Israel's dirty tricks are too many to list. President Richard Nixon was a choir boy compared to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is an international terrorist and war criminal."

Doug Casey: Is A US-Iran War Inevitable?
A quote...."Previously we presented some alternative thoughts to the mainstream misperception of the Iranian "isolation" by some of its biggest oil trading partners. Unlike others, we simply believe that the gulf nation, together with the new axis of anti-USD (as confirmed once again earlier today) is simply preparing itself for a barter based economy, or alternatively, one with commoditized intermediates. However, this ignores the likelihood of geopolitical instability caused by intervening US and Israeli interest in the region. Below are some thoughts from Doug Casey of Casey Research on the likelihood of another full blown shooting war erupting in the Persian Gulf, as well as his thoughts on how one may prepare for such a contingency."

What is that? Somewhere around 16.6% of the total budget for 2013?"

From Atlas To Capital - Everyone Is Shrugging
Quote of the Day...."The US Federal Reserve has added more than $2 trillion to the base money supply since 2008 – an incredible and unprecedented number that is basically a gift to banks intended to cover their deep losses and spur lending and investment. Instead, as banks continue their enormous deleveraging, almost all of their new money remains at the Fed in the form of excess reserves. -- Corporations, moreover, are holding the largest amounts of cash, relative to assets and net worth, ever recorded. And yet, despite what pundits claim about strong balance sheets, firms’ debt levels, relative to assets and net worth, also remain near record-high levels. -- Hoarded cash is king. The velocity of money (the frequency at which money is spent, or GDP relative to base money) continues to plunge to historic lows. No wonder monetary policy has had so little impact. Capital, the engine of economic growth, sits idle – shrugging everywhere."

The Grand Game of Perception Management
Special Note - A quote...."Perception management" can be usefully shortened to a one-syllable word: "con." The confidence-man's most basic tool is to create the surface sheen of success with minimal investment of time and capital. Thus the con-man buys a couple of designer suits, rents a cubbyhole office with a prestigious address, leases a 500-series Mercedes vehicle, counterfeits some diplomas or other signifiers of Elite status and achievement, and then goes to work conning his credulous marks. -- This exactly describes the strategy being pursued by Ben Bernanke, Tim Geithner, the financial media, and America's scabrous political class. Consider one of the Status Quo's most valuable cons, the unemployment rate as calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)."

Resource Rapture: Syria’s Untapped Assets Desired By Allies And Enemies Alike

Special Note - A quote...."February 16, 2012 "ABC" - - On the ABC's AM program, US president Barack Obama was quoted as describing the killings in Homs as outrageous. -- Outrageous in what sense? That they were not as numerous as the civilians killed in the American assault on the besieged Iraqi city of Fallujah in 2004? Barely noteworthy when compared to Israel's 2008 bravura performance in Gaza when Operation Cast Lead saw so much lead cast that about 1,000 civilians, including lots of kiddies , out of a 1,400 total were dispatched without much complaint from the White House. Not a first division death toll at all when measured against the lethal effect of western sanctions against Iraq after operation Desert Storm in 1991. -- When asked on US television, if she thought that the death of about half a million Iraqi children, due to sanctions, was a price worth paying, then-US secretary of state, Madeline Albright replied: -- "This is a very hard choice, but we think the price is worth it." -- Now, that's a beautiful set of numbers!"

More Tales From the Zio-Sphere....

Israel Blames Iran for Convenient Bombing
Israel's Tri-Fecta of False Flags Fiasco - A quote...."...it would be far more preferable if the United States could cite an Iranian provocation as justification for the airstrikes before launching them. Clearly, the more outrageous, the more deadly, and the more unprovoked the Iranian action, the better off the United States would be. Of course, it would be very difficult for the United States to goad Iran into such a provocation without the rest of the world recognizing this game, which would then undermine it. (One method that would have some possibility of success would be to ratchet up covert regime change efforts in the hope that Tehran would retaliate overtly, or even semi-overtly, which could then be portrayed as an unprovoked act of Iranian aggression.)

Iran Falsely Charged with India and Georgia Attacks
Israel's Tri-Fecta of False Flags Fiasco - A quote...."Last October, Iran was falsely charged with a fake terror plot that didn't pass the smell test. At best, it resembled a bad film script too implausible to believe. - Tehran was bogusly blamed for plotting to kill Saudi Arabia's US ambassador. According to spurious accusations, an Iranian/American used car salesman and Mexican drug cartel hired assassin were involved. - You can't make this stuff up, but major media scoundrels headlined it for days. They regurgitated a scheme too implausible to believe."

U.S. Foreign Aid to Egypt is For Israel’s Benefit
A quote...."Many Americans know that despite the economic depression Americans are suffering under, the politicians in Washington are still sending well over $3 BILLION tax dollars every year to the Jewish state of Israel. This in spite of the fact that we have veterans living on the street and children going hungry. What many people may not know is that the $1.3 BILLION the U.S. politicians give away to Egypt is merely leverage to guarantee that Egypt will not oppose Israel’s continued expansion onto Palestinian lands. In short, it is payment for Egypt to look the other way and not take a stand against Israeli aggression."

Bad Week For Freedom
Must Read - A quote...."With each passing week it seems this country spirals further into the depths of a frightening dystopian fantasy reminiscent of Huxley and Orwell’s dark world of isolation, fear and government brutality portrayed in their masterpieces Brave New World and 1984. I keep speculating whether it’s me that’s crazy and not the things I’m witnessing on a daily basis. The President signs the National Defense Authorization Act, passed by an overwhelming majority of Congress, which allows the government to imprison American citizens indefinitely without charge. And there is barely a squeak from the docile masses as they are soothed by Obama promising to never use that part of the law. I bet you $10,000 a President will invoke that portion of the NDAA in the very near future." - also posted at BLN

The Corruption of Democracy

And not only Goldman Sachs, but also the other top banks and financial institutions, big corporations and certain billionaires. -- Conspiracy theory? No. The US presidential campaign in 2012 will be an increasingly desperate affair as even wall-to-wall media coverage on which candidate has the most attractive first lady and other information deemed essential to democracy will fail to drown out the fact that the Democrat versus Republican narrative is utterly out of touch with the realities of modern society: namely the fact that the US, and by extension numerous other nations, are controlled by a small powerful and wealthy elite, and that the inequality gap between the very rich and the rest is widening into a yawning abyss."

Is Western Democracy Real or a Facade?
A quote...."The United States government and its NATO puppets have been killing Muslim men, women and children for a decade in the name of bringing them democracy. But is the West itself a democracy? - Skeptics point out that President George W. Bush was put in office by the Supreme Court and that a number of other elections have been decided by electronic voting machines that leave no paper trail. Others note that elected officials represent the special interests that fund their campaigns and not the voters. The bailout of the banks arranged by Bush’s Treasury Secretary and former Goldman Sachs chairman, Henry Paulson, and Washington’s failure to indict any banksters for the fraud that contributed to the financial crisis, are evidence in support of the view that the US government represents money and not the voters." - Source: PaulCraigRoberts - also posted at DProgram & ICH

Drone Assaults on Civil Liberties
Quote of the Day...."....the most potent toxin in American politics, ~ is our widespread bipartisan disregard for the preservation of civil liberties. When it comes to this issue, the distinction between Democrats and Republicans blurs to the point of non-existence. While right-wing politicians have a well-established history of ignoring civil liberties, Democrats have recently become much worse. The well-deserved condemnation that the Bush administration received from Democrats regarding civil-liberties violations has proven to be simply flowery political rhetoric based on their recent actions. The left’s outrage at Bush’s policies coupled with their acceptance of Obama’s reveals undeniable hypocrisy." - also posted at ICH

Power, I would suggest, can be defined as an authority which is imposed over or through an entity or entities, the authority and right to define and direct existence and action. Exercised through individuals, ideas, and institutions, Power can amount to a person’s right and ability to determine the course of their own life, to exercise free thought, establish their own opinions, ideas and make their own decisions, which inform their actions. This, perhaps, could be explained as ‘Personal Power,’ which I would argue is an absolute necessity and is synonymous with autonomy and independence, individuality and freedom." - also posted at BLN

Manuel Loggins Jr. at about 4:30 am Tuesday when he drove through a parking lot gate at San Clemente High School. -- Amormino says Loggins did not respond to the deputy's orders and yelled irrational statements that led the deputy to grow concerned about the children who were in Loggins' SUV. -- Amormino declined to specify what Loggins said, citing the pending investigation."

Because a father of two children made "irrational" statements (probably told the deputy to go expletive himself) while he was driving through a gate --  this deputy took out his gun and as the father was walking back toward his vehicle, blazed away killing the father in front his children's horrified eyes because the deputy was concerned over the "children's safety"

Now this sort of insanity and bald faced lying is a direct result of this society's decent into utter moral depravity and complete national psychosis. Just as killing (a.k.a. murdering) millions of people while taking (a.k.a. stealing) their natural resources is characterized as "helping" those people.  Just as printing (a.k.a. counterfeiting) tens of trillions of dollars to give (a.k.a. more stealing) to a bunch of Banksters is described as "supporting" our economy  So to is blazing away at an unarmed father, murdering him in front of his children's horrified eyes is put forth as an effort to "protect" them.

WOW! - The AIPAC/Israeli Consortium, the Saudi Royals, Britain and Sarkozy must be happy as pigs in poop that their PNAC Protocols are succeeding so well, heck even Hillary is probably "excited" by the prospect of so much blood soon to be spilt all over Syria. - mpg -- A quote...."As Syrian army tanks mass around Homs and its artillery pounds Sunni districts of the city, Syria is slipping into the first stages of a sectarian civil war. This conflict could be as bloody as anything seen in Iraq between 2006 and 2007 or as long as the civil war in Lebanon (1975-90). The two words that best describe the current process in Syria are “Lebanization” and “militarization”; neither bodes well for Syria’s people. -- In Homs, death squads from the Sunni and Alawi, the Shia sect that dominates Syria’s ruling elite, are starting to seek out victims from each other’s communities. Sunni say they are being massacred by shellfire; Alawi demand that their Sunni neighbours be bombarded even more heavily. Syria was never a homogenous country and is becoming less so by the day."

Revolutionary militias in western Libya unify
A quote...."TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Representatives of about 100 militias from western Libya said Monday they had formed a new federation to prevent infighting and allow them to press the country's new government for further reform. -- The move was a blow to the National Transitional Council, which helped lead the eight-month uprising against longtime ruler Moammar Gadhafi that ended with his capture and death in October. The NTC has struggled for months to stamp its authority on the country, and has largely failed to decommission or bring under its control the hundreds of militias that fought in the war."

Egypt: US-funded Agitators on Trial: US "Democracy Promotion" = Foreign-funded Sedition.
A quote...."AP reported that US General Martin Dempsey has met directly with the military leaders of Egypt to discuss an Egyptian "crackdown on Western-funded pro-democracy groups." Threatened with a cut-off from US aid, the Egyptian military is expected to abandon their campaign against US "NGOs." -- As usual, AP attempts to diminish the veracity of Egypt's concerns with deceptive language and innuendos such as, "Egypt, which regularly blames anti-military protests on foreign meddling," and "in an indication that authorities will continue to push the line that foreigners are stirring up trouble." Of course it is not a "line" that the Egyptian government is pushing, it is a well documented fact."

Who is Behind Wikileaks?
A quote...."Wikileaks is not a typical alternative media initiative. The New York Times, the Guardian and Der Spiegel are directly involved in the editing and selection of leaked documents. The London Economist has also played an important role. -- While the project and its editor Julian Assange reveal a commitment and concern for truth in media, the recent Wikileaks releases of embassy cables have been carefully "redacted" by the mainstream media in liaison with the US government. (See Interview with David E. Sanger, Fresh Air, PBS, December 8, 2010) -- This collaboration between Wikileaks and selected mainstream media is not fortuitous; it was part of an agreement between several major US and European newspapers and Wikileaks' editor Julian Assange."

Rothschilds Want Iran’s Banks
A quote...."Could gaining control of the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran (CBI) be one of the main reasons that Iran is being targeted by Western and Israeli powers? As tensions are building up for an unthinkable war with Iran, it is worth exploring Iran’s banking system compared to its U.S., British and Israeli counterparts."

Money, Banking, and the Federal Reserve
Contains Video - Alt - (Vimeo - 41min31sec - 02/10/12) -- A quote...."Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson understood "The Monster". But to most Americans today, "Federal Reserve" is just a name on the dollar bill. They have no idea of what the central bank does to the economy, or to their own economic lives; of how and why it was founded and operates; or of the sound money and banking that could end the statism, inflation, and business cycles that the Fed generates."

Unemployment, Foreclosures, Rising Debts and Despair: America’s Social Crisis – Bob Chapman
Special Note - A quote...."World elitists have chosen their path that is jam money and credit into the system until it won’t take it anymore and hyperinflation explodes. This is well borne out by scores of trillion dollar loans created out of thin air and now QE 3 and how many QE’s beyond that. You ask how long the Fed can buy 80% Treasuries? The answer is almost indefinitely until, of course, the bottom falls out. -- Using current policy there cannot be a real recovery, only an up and down sideways movement, which allows the financial sector to get richer and the economy to go nowhere. The latter is part of the enslavement process. You lose your job, home, vehicles and have to hunt for food and shelter. At some point government will pick these people up and put them in internment camps. Nothing has been fixed at the jobs level and in fact the situation is worsening. Even those who can get jobs are paid $10 to $15 an hour, not the $15 to $30 they were previously paid, as jobs still leave the country under free trade, globalization, offshoring and outsourcing. The worker is being deliberately being trampled in the process and being subjected to higher and higher inflation, as too big to fail banks get bigger and bigger."

This Time Next US Presidential Campaign: $24.1 Trillion In Debt, 138.9% Debt/GDP
Special Note - A quote...."While Obama may or may not be on the way to winning his reelection, courtesy of a GOP field that is, to say the least, limited, and where the only worthy candidate is more ostracized by the right than even anyone on the left, the bottom line is that whoever wins the presidency, it will matter precisely didley squat. As the US debt clock shows, fast forwarding 4 years, or to February 2016, when the next presidential race will be in its final stretch, America will have $24.1 trillion in debt, about $9 trillion more than it does, now on $17.4 trillion in GDP, for a gross debt to GDP ratio of 138.9% "

It’s like a day labor pool for monsters: Killers Temp Services – “We’re There When You Need Us to Blow Up Some Kids”. --  I guess giving them an office in D.C. is cost effective… saves all that travel and per diem expense. Hillary can just walk out her back door and chat with those old friends of hers who helped them destabilize Bosnia and Kosovo and so many others in the past. After all these decades of dedicated service to the globalists, it’s about time al Qaeda™ got a corner office with a view, don’t ya think?"

More On The Palestinian Situation....

Ethnic Cleansing in a Zionist Fairyland
A quote...."'De-Arabizing the history of Palestine is another crucial element of the ethnic cleansing. 1500 years of Arab and Muslim rule and culture in Palestine are trivialized, evidence of its existence is being destroyed and all this is done to make the absurd connection between the ancient Hebrew civilization and today's Israel. The most glaring example of this today is in Silwan, (Wadi Hilwe) a town adjacent to the Old City of Jerusalem with some 50,000 residents.  Israel is expelling families from Silwan and destroying their homes because it claims that king David built a city there some 3000 years ago. Thousands of families will be made homeless so that Israel can build a park to commemorate a king that may or may not have lived 3000 years ago.

Six hundred years ago, when elsewhere they were footing the blame for the Black Plague, Kasmierz the Great, so called, told the Jews they could come to Krakow. They came. They trundled their belongings into the city. They settled; they took hold; they prospered in business, science, education, the arts. They came here with nothing. Nothing. And they flourished. For six centuries, there has been a Jewish Krakow. Think about that. By this evening, those six centuries are a rumor. They never happened. Today is history." -- *Amon Göth *, SS Captain of the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp as portrayed in the movie Schindler's List"

Israel, MEK and state sponsor of Terror groups
Related Article - A quote...."One of the most under-reported political stories of the last year is the devoted advocacy of numerous prominent American political figures on behalf of an Iranian group long formally designated as a Terrorist organization under U.S. law. A large bipartisan cast has received substantial fees from that group, the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK), and has then become their passionate defenders. The group of MEK shills includes former top Bush officials and other Republicans (Michael Mukasey, Fran Townsend, Andy Card, Tom Ridge, Rudy Giuliani) as well as prominent Democrats (Howard Dean, Ed Rendell, Bill Richardson, Wesley Clark). As The Christian Science Monitor reported last August, those individuals “have been paid tens of thousands of dollars to speak in support of the MEK.” No matter what one thinks of this group – here is a summary of its activities – it is formally designated as a Terrorist group and it is thus a felony under U.S. law to provide it with any “material support.” - Topix ||  Ask Not For Whom The Bell Tolls..... 10-13-11 - mpg  ||
