Invasions of the Mind Snatchers
Must Read - A quote...."Many empires have risen and fallen over the course of recorded history. All were created by force. Yet all have tried to legitimize that force, by passing laws and seeking to establish some sort of order that would outlive their military supremacy. Some have been more successful at this than others. The Atlantic Empire, on the other hand, is the only example in history of an imperial enterprise destroying its own laws, undermining its own legitimacy in pursuit of power." - Source:  RPI

The $64 Trillion Dollar Question – Whatever Happened to Democracy in America?
Must Read - Quote of the Day...."What is the state of the union? -- The empire, though led by bumblers, is still functioning, thanks mainly to a military that continues to hang on, along with the merchants of death it supports. -- Thanks to Edward Snowden, we know too that our intelligence agencies are thriving, along with their counterparts in the UK and its former white dominions, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. -- With the help of compliant telecommunications giants and internet moguls, the work these denizens of the dark side do has metastasized throughout the body politic – to such an extent that our formerly robust private sphere is now all but gone. -- It is remarkable how little indignation this arouses. -- On the other hand, the state of our domestic politics is on every good citizen’s mind. Nothing worth doing is getting done. The government has become dysfunctional. --
Inasmuch as paralysis at home is so widely bemoaned, and since it is key to the rest, it is well to reflect on the phenomenon and to examine its causes. -- How did it come about? -- Republicans blame Democrats – Barack Obama, most of all. This explanation is plainly ludicrous. Ideologically, Democrats today are what Republicans used to be. But like the liberals of old, they make a virtue of spinelessness. They call it “pragmatism.” -- Indeed, it would be hard to imagine anyone in public life more inclined to compromise away everything he claims to stand for than Barack Obama. The man is pathologically “bipartisan.” -- And, on this, his party stands behind him...." - bold by website editor

Sleepwalking Again  - ICH Donation Drive - Click Here
Must Read - A quote...."February 23, 2014 "Information Clearing House -  On the 100th Anniversary of World War 1, the Western powers are again sleepwalking into destructive conflict. Hegemonic ambition has Washington interfering in the internal affairs of Ukraine, but developments seem to be moving beyond Washington’s control. -- Regime change in Ukraine for a mere $5 billion dollars would be a bargain compared to the massive sums squandered in Iraq ($3,000 billion), Afghanistan ($3,000 billion), Somalia, and Libya, or the money Washington is wasting murdering people with drones in Pakistan and Yemen, or the money Washington has spent supporting al Qaeda in Syria, or the massive sums Washington has wasted surrounding Iran with 40 military bases and several fleets in the Persian Gulf in an effort to terrorize Iran into submission. -- So far, in Washington’s attempt at regime change in Ukraine large numbers of Americans are not being killed and maimed. Only Ukrainians are dying, all the better for Washington as the deaths are blamed on the Ukrainian government that the US has targeted for overthrow. -- The problem with Washington’s plot to overthrow the elected government of Ukraine and install its minions is twofold: The chosen US puppets have lost control of the protests to armed radical elements with historical links to nazism, and Russia regards an EU/NATO takeover of Ukraine as a strategic threat to Russian independence." - Source:  PaulCraigRoberts

The US Is Pushing Ukraine Towards Civil War
Must Read - A quote...."Almost all American sources show little real. in-depth, historical understanding of Ukraine and Russia. - In simplest terms, the Ukraine today is pretty much split down the middle, very pro-Russian on the Eastern side of Kiev, the Russian side, and very pro-independence and pro-Polish and Pro-Western on the Western side of Kiev. - A large minority of the people in the East are originally from Russia, intermarried, speak Russian and Ukrainian, etc. - In the West many are Polish-Ukrainian, etc. - There are large sub-cultures within these two sides with ancient roots. - Ukraine is vastly important to Russia economically and Russia to Ukraine.  Ukraine is a great bread basket. Russia supplies the energy to Ukraine. - The U.S. Empire is fighting globally to fend off the rising tides against itself, Putin is fighting more culturally and economically to try to rebuild the Russian Empire [Nation-State mpg] after the Soviet Implosion."

Buchanan - Richard Engel of NBC, reporting from Maidan Square in Kiev, described what he witnessed as the Feb. 19 truce collapsed. -- Police began to back away from their positions in the square, said Engel. And the protesters attacked. Gunfire was exchanged and the death toll, believed to be in the dozens, is not known. -- In short, the reality in Kiev is more complex than the black-and-white cartoon of Vladimir Putin vs. the freedom fighters drawn by our resident Russophobic elite. Perspective is in order. -- First, though portrayed as a tyrannical thug, Viktor Yanukovych won the presidency of Ukraine in 2010 in what international observers called a free and fair election. He may not be Marcus Aurelius, but his remains the legitimate government. -- Second, high among the reasons Yanukovych chose Russia’s offer to join its custom union over the EU is that Putin put a better deal on the table. -- Moscow put up $15 billion in loans and cut-rate oil and gas. The EU offered some piddling loans and credits, plus a demand for reforms in the Ukrainian economy monitored by the IMF, but no commitment to full membership in the EU. -- As for the “protesters” who came to Maidan Square in November, not all came simply to protest." - See also....Will Mobocracy Triumph in Ukraine? -  February 4, 2014

Must Read - Contains Audio - A quote...."February 22, 2014 "Information Clearing House - "VOR" -  It is a fact that since 9-11-2001, the US Government has been in the business of destroying countries and using NATO as it principle instrument. That was stated more than a decade ago by then US Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz and later by General Wesley Clark. The Pentagon drew up a list of 7 states that were to be destroyed: Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Syria and they have systematically proceeded to destroy all of the Countries on the list. The strategy in Ukraine is the same, US/NATO/EU are promoting the destabilization and the breakup of Ukraine in order to achieve the NATO goal of moving into Ukrainian territory closer to Russia. Harvard Professor Francis Boyle, a US based Russian expert who was invited to the Soviet Union to lecture spoke on these issues and more in an interview with the Voice of Russia."

US spent $5 billion to destabilize Ukraine
A quote...."The protests in the western Ukraine are organized by the CIA, the US State Department, and by Washington- and EU-financed Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) that work in conjunction with the CIA and State Department. The purpose of the protests is to overturn the decision by the independent government of Ukraine not to join the EU."

What the EU Did....Set A Precedent

US government inadvertently comes clean on its Ukraine agenda
A quote...."For nearly three months, the American and European governments have been playing a frustratingly devious game of piously pretending to support "the people of Ukraine" in their bid for attaining EU integration and democracy. The charade has been frustrating because there is abundant evidence to show that both Washington and Brussels are engaging in regime change by subterfuge, but all the while the West maintains that it is simply acting as an honest broker to resolve a regional political crisis. -- Now, thanks to Nuland’s foul-mouthed indiscretion, the speculation is over. Washington is in the business of orchestrating a coup d’état – just as many Ukrainian and Russian politicians have been claiming all along but couldn’t quite pin down as fact."

It should be noted that trying to violently destroy a legitimately elected government, at the behest of foreign powers who have planned, financed and coordinated such a "revolution", and to publicly declare and announce your reasons for doing so is to subject the people of your nation to the will of foreign Euro-Kazarian owned banks, their currency, and their economic union, is an act of treason.  Period.  For more on that see the definition shown below from the essay  -- *The Rules of Force - 09-28-12 - mpg*.....

It should also be noted that a precedent was set in Ukraine....and in Europe.  The hypocrisy was devastating.  The EU, as a group of nations, as a combined entity and under the auspices of the US-NRE / AIPAC / Israeli Consortium, secretly, and than openly, planned, financed and coordinated an attack on a sovereign, legitimately elected government in an attempt to topple it on behalf of their financial interests. -- Nobody in Europe seemed to care. Guess the complete shits in Europe just didn't learn very much from WWI and WWII did they?

This precedent is UNFORGIVABLE.  It cannot be UNDONE.  It WILL be used by other European nations in the future and many others throughout the world.  This website editor actually thought Europeans were smart....turns out they're stupid.  What a shame.

This website editor used to support the EU as a concept, a concept with problems, but one, despite the bail-out of their own banksters and the crushing of some of their members sovereignty, such as Greece's, Italy's and Spain's, still had some promise.

Not anymore.  Not ever again.  They're just a bunch of gang-banging, terrorist supporting, war mongers for the Banksters, no different than the US-NRE / Israeli / Saudi combo.

The peoples of Spain, Greece and Italy, for the sake of their children's future should get out of the EU now, while they still can - mpg

Revolutions -- Generally attacks by citizens against their government should follow this declaration....

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. - That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...."

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security...."

• It is the right, nay the duty, of a people to change their form of government under certain circumstances and given unbearable provocations.
  
• It should NEVER be attempted for "light or transient causes".
• It should NEVER, EVER, be attempted at the BEHEST of a foreign power.  It should be considered as an act of treason if one should do so.
  
• It is extremely problematical to seek assistance from foreign powers if the "revolution" in any way, shape, or form, is planned, directed or assisted by such powers to further their own goals and agendas.
  
• Specifically the looting of the targeted nation's resources or wealth. 
  
• Or to eliminate or destroy the targeted nation-state as a a geo-political and/or economic competitor to a foreign power or powers. (The HIGHEST form of treason any citizen of a nation-state can EVER commit.)
  
• Such attempts to overturn or destroy an existing government are commonly referred to as foreign sponsored Coup d'états, or acts of subversion, and are considered to be treason by almost everyone everywhere.
• Acts of terrorism in support of a revolution are NEVER acceptable
• Attacks against military installations or against government officials with the intent to kill MAY be acceptable in a revolution. -- *The Rules of Force - 09-28-12 - mpg*

Ukraine Protests Carefully Orchestrated
A quote...."The recent protests in Ukraine have the stench of a foreign-orchestrated attempt to destabilize the government of Viktor Yanukovych after he walked away from signing an EU Association Agreement that would have driven a deep wedge between Russia and Ukraine. Glamor-star boxer-turned political guru, Vitaly Klitschko, has been meeting with the US State Department and is close to Angela Merkel’s CDU political machine in Germany."

Scoundrel Media War on Ukraine
A quote...." Ukraine is being attacked. Kiev resembles a war zone. Obama bears full responsibility for months of conflict. What's ongoing was planned long before violence erupted. - Washington wants all independent governments toppled. Ukraine is the most important former Soviet republic. At stake is its national sovereignty. Its future is up for grabs. - It's low-hanging fruit. It's geopolitically important. America wants it plundered for profit. So do EU partners. They want it at Russia's expense. - Business as usual defines Western policy. Obama warned Ukraine. He threatened "consequences if people step over the line."

CIA Agent Captured in Ukraine Helping Protesters
A quote...."20 Feb 2014 A CIA agent has allegedly been captured in the Ukraine, as shown in the video. The Special Activities Division (SAD) is a division in the United States Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) National Clandestine Service (NCS), responsible for covert operations known as "special activities". Within SAD there are two separate groups, SAD/SOG for tactical paramilitary operations and SAD/PAG for covert political action. Special Operations Group (SOG) is the department within SAD responsible for operations that include the collection of intelligence in hostile countries and regions, and all high threat military or intelligence operations with which the U.S. government does not wish to be overtly associated. As such, members of the unit (called Paramilitary Operations Officers and Specialized Skills Officers) normally do not carry any objects or clothing (i.e., military uniforms) that would associate them with the US government." - Source: B4It'sNews

Why Does Ukraine Seem So Much Like Syria?
A quote...."In Ukraine, US-backed rebels seize weapons from a military depot and begin firing on police — killing at least ten. The rebel groups occupy and torch government buildings, trade union headquarters, the central post office, and political party headquarters. They occupy local government facilities in other cities and physically attack local authorities. Their goal is to overthrow the elected government." - Source:  RPI

What Ukraine Can Expect If They Join The EU - A Bitter Harvest
02-21-14
mpg

Ukraine’s Leader Flees the Capital; Elections Are Called
This article, which gleefully and gloatingly celebrates the "victory" of the Euro-Kazarian PNAC arranged "rebellion" in the Ukraine is from the New York Times. 

The Times is owned by the Jewish, Ochs-Sulzberger family, who've been card-carrying, war-mongering, fellow travelers of the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium and their thirst for endless wars and genocides since their criminal Euro-Kazarian enterprise was established by the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. 

This is the very same paper which massively lied about Iraq, including falsely blaming Iraq for the Anthrax attacks, they published numerous, totally fraudulent articles stating Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and almost single handedly led this nation into war.

That war also ended with a celebration, in Baghdad's Firdos Square, remember that contrived celebration, remember "mission accomplished", yet twelve years later here's a recent article about the "success" in Iraq posted just a few days ago -- 142 Killed, 163 Wounded in Iraq Attacks, Clashes -- Over a million dead, five million displaced from their homes, and this horrific violence continues to this day.

Than there's the 2011 "mission to protect" operation in Libya, also supported by the NYT's Ochs-Sulzberger family and their paper's numerous lies about the Gaddafi administration.  Another unjust, illegal war, and also one where the Libyan "rebels" celebrated -- Libya celebrates the death of Gaddafi – in pictures  Yet to this day, after literally bombing that nation with the equivalent of half a million strike sorties, if it had occurred in the US, the Libyan nation still lies completely shattered, with almost no oil production, riven by assassinations, attempted coups, ethnic cleansing, and constant warfare between various tribal and Jihadist factions.

So here's what the Ukrainians can expect from their very own AIPAC/Israeli - PNAC sponsored "rebellion" if they "succeed", and join with the EU. 

This is assuming Russia just stands on the sidelines neither supporting, nor opposing their submission to the EU, but protecting their own financial interests. It also assumes Ukraine's neighbors will not take the opportunity to break off pieces of the nation. Finally it assumes the bulk of the Ukrainian population will just stand idly by to be turned into another Greece, lose their homes, jobs and starve, and not be tempted to co-join with Russia and split Ukraine into two.

The chances of which are all highly problematical.

It also assumes the EU's Banksters can successfully print their way out of their current self-inflicted financial difficulties.  If all four assumptions come true, than Ukrainians can expect the following....

• A massive fall in their standard of living
• Ninety-nine percent of the population will lose economic ground for ten to twenty years
• They will also experience a severe depreciation in their currency
• A massive increase in debt, both public and private
  
• A massive increase in interest rates
• Real estate prices will probably rise, along with rental rates and homelessness
  
• Their pensioners will be TOTALLY devastated, and will most likely lose everything
• They will see a massive increase in human trafficking, particular in the sex trade, much of it to Israel
• A surprising number of Ukraine's teenage daughters will be "exported", they will not be seen again.
• A corresponding increase in pornography nation wide
• A large increase in organ trafficking
  
• A massive increase in the drug trade, along with the addiction of a substantial portion of their population
• Their industrial base will be totally destroyed
• Their culture will be totally destroyed
• Much of their infrastructure will be sold to private foreign interests.
• Along with their agricultural lands
• And some of their national treasures, parks and monuments
• They will be forced to use dangerous GMOs
  
• Their media will become completely controlled by one or two corporate conglomerates, moslt likely owned by Euro-Kazarian interests
• Their elections will become totally fraudulent.  They'll be forced to adopt electronic-selection machines and discard reliable paper ballots.
• Their entire financial system will be run from Brussels
  
• Corruption will actually increase, but will be masked by increasing debt, loans, and currency printing by the EU resulting in a semblance of economic growth
  
• One percent of their population will reap all the rewards.

In other words, Ukraine and its people, are to be "harvested".

If Ukrainians try to protest or later back out of their "deal", using actual peaceful protests and not an arranged coup, they'll be gunned down like dogs in the streets, by the thousands, and not a single country in the "West", nor presstituting shills like the New York Times, will give a damn.

If the EU's Euro-Kazarian Banksters cannot succeed in printing their way out of their current financial hole and the EU continues to collapse, Ukraine's decision to join at this time will be considered by later historians as one of the most monumental, disastrous, geo-political, blunders in world history.

What will happen to Ukraine under such circumstances would be impossible to predict, but it would be horrendous, and Ukraine as a geo-political unit would not survive such a calamity.

Everyone is now informed in advance that these predicted outcomes will be noted and pointed out as the years progress, and the tragic consequences of this misadventure continue to increase. 

Also please note, there will be no sympathy offered by this website editor to any of those who participated in this affair. - mpg

Ukraine’s Future is Tied Up With Syria’s – and Vladimir Putin is Crucial to Both - ICH - Click Here
Must Read - A quote...."February 22, 2014 "Information Clearing House - "The Independent" -  No one in the Middle East will be studying Ukraine’s violent tragedy with more fascination – and deeper concern – than President Bashar al-Assad of Syria. -- He won’t care a fig about Obama’s critics – who are already chastising the US President for giving Vladimir Putin the green light to support the Ukrainian President by flunking his threat to bomb Damascus last year – nor will Assad care very much about the future political career of Viktor Yanukovych, whom he happens to know well. -- He will instead be dwelling upon the remarkable similarities between Yanukovych’s besieged government and his own Syrian regime, which is still battling an armed struggle against insurgents. The parallels are by no means exact, as Assad’s enemies claim them to be when they suggest that he and Yanukovych are “blood brothers”. But they are close enough to persuade the Syrian President and his Talleyrand – the Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem – to study the degree of support Putin gives to his ally in Kiev." - Source:  TheIndependent

The meetings featured in the photos allegedly took place on April 14, 2012, when, according to a Cabinet decision, al-Qadi was forbidden to enter Turkey, and before the UN had removed his name from its list of supporters of the terrorist al-Qaeda network.

Ezra Klein has since expanded on that to discuss the oddity of how current Chief Justice John Roberts is basically the Chief Justice of the Surveillance State, answerable to absolutely no one: "You have exclusive, unaccountable, lifetime power to shape the surveillance state."

Must Read - A quote...."February 22, 2014 "Information Clearing House -  The justification that U.S. officials use for their assassination of people overseas, including American citizens, is that the people they’re killing are bent on killing U.S. forces. Thus, the justification is sort of a modified self-defense concept—they’re trying to kill us and so we’re assassinating them before they have a chance to kill us. - Most mainstream commentators have come to passively accept this justification for the U.S. assassination program. You can especially see this when they comment on people killed who are considered “collateral damage.” They refer to those people as innocent civilians and to the targeted people as terrorists or insurgents. The notion is that the assassins were simply targeting the “bad guys” and, unfortunately, struck some innocent people in the process. - But the fact is that people over there are trying to kill U.S. forces because U.S. forces are over there. They’re over there occupying Afghanistan. They’re rearming Iraq, after destroying the country and killing countless people. They have military bases over there. They are supporting brutal dictators. They are bombing people. They are shooting people. They are assassinating people."

Most Venezuelans have a blind spot on their own country according to James Bloodworth
A quote...."James Bloodworth, when he isn’t applauding Obama’s murderous drone attacks on Pakistan, occasionally takes time out to complain about leftists supporting the Venezuelan government. He claims that Venezuela has become a “nightmare” and that, despite elections that he appears to acknowledge are clean and transparent, Venezuelans are, nevertheless, “living under tyranny” because of the government’s “unwillingness to tolerate dissent”."

Venezuelan Govt Sends Army to Combat “Grave” Opposition Disorder near Colombian Border - ICH - Clk Here
"Near Colombian border?"  Colombia is Amerika's bestest (and only) fascist, military, drug exporting, Bankster supporting (with hundreds of billions of drug dollars) US military equipment importing (those three are related, just think of it as the narcodollar trade.  Like the petrodollar, only more lucrative) South of the border.  Now Amerika's "enemy" is experiencing "opposition disorder" near this border.  It's just gotta be another "one ol'dem dare coincidences".  (roll the eyes, make appropriate retching noises) - mpg

A quote...."February 22, 2014 "Information Clearing House - In Damming the Flood: Haiti, Aristide, and the Politics of Containment, Peter Hallward meticulously explains how, on February 29 of 2004, the U.S. managed to "topple one of the most popular governments in Latin America but it managed to topple it in a manner that wasn't widely criticized or even recognized as a coup at all."  Imperial powers do not reinvent the wheel when it comes to undermining democracy in poor countries.  Hallward identifies valuable lessons for people who wish to limit the damage that powerful countries inflict on the weak."

Kerry's laughable remarks in Beijing
A quote...."US Secretary of State John Kerry delivered remarks both laughable and frightening after meeting with Chinese officials in Beijing on Friday. - Regarding China's maritime territory disputes with its Asian neighbors, Kerry asked that China implement “a calmer, more rule-of-law based, less confrontational regime.” - The Chinese leaders doubtless laughed behind the curtains at this comment. For the US state, which has unilaterally attacked and occupied two other nations which never attacked it in the past 10 years, is the last state on Earth to advise anyone on a 'calmer, rule-of-law based' way to resolve international disputes."

China will “teach Africa to fish”, says President Xi
A quote...."President Xi Jinping said on Thursday that China, which has long been accused of using Africa as a source of natural resources and a market for its goods, will aim to make the continent more self-reliant. -- China will pay more attention to African countries’ needs and “teach them how to fish instead of giving them fishes directly,” to help them realize independent and sustainable development, Xi noted."

A glaring example of the impending triumph of a constitutional evil that could be stopped by folks who have been largely silent is the tyranny coming from the White House.

It’s unrelated to uncovering terrorist plots. -- Homegrown ones virtually don’t exist. Alleged ones are hatched. They’re fake. Claiming dozens were foiled in time is false. -- They’re Big Lies.

How Do You Like Being a Veteran and Obama Saying You Are Not “Stable” Enough For Firearms?
A quote...."There is NO question why Obama wants veterans disarmed, but he must think we are too stupid to see it. With events like Operation American Spring being organized by former military to oust HIM from power, even though that is “supposed” to be a peaceful protest, Obama does NOT want those with the knowledge of military command anywhere NEAR having an opportunity to lead a revolt."

Climate Scientists Explain Why Global Warming Theory is False
A quote...."As I pointed out earlier this week Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry have ramping up the global warming noise machine. Both insist that the “science is settled.” Kerry went so far as to toss insults at anyone who disagreed saying those who disagreed were part of the “Flat Earth Society.” He went on to say “we should not allow a tiny minority of shoddy scientists” and “extreme ideologues to compete with scientific facts.” But if you look at the facts objectively it’s Kerry and Obama who are relying on shoddy science and behaving like extreme ideologues."

Maintaining the American Underclass
A quote...."American history has been the history of inequality, initially racial in character, and with that irreducible flooring, and as industrialization took hold, then economic—a class-structured society with little impetus, save on the ideological level, to democratization. The idea of a minimum wage did not break surface as legislation until well into the New Deal, and even then, conspicuous for its omissions and lack of application. The cheapening of labor has been the foundation of American progress, both in industry and agriculture, with the tenant and the sharecropper the rural equivalent of the factory laborer, both native and immigrant."

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

Still Broken Five Years Later - ICH Donation Drive - Click Here
A quote..."February 22, 2014 "Information Clearing House - "Counterpunch" - Ask your average guy-on-the-street ‘what caused the financial crisis’, and you’ll either get a blank stare followed by a shrug of the shoulders or a brusque, three-word answer: “The housing bubble”. Even people who follow the news closely are usually sketchy on the details. They might add something about subprime mortgages or Lehman Brothers, but not much more than that. Very few people seem to know that the crisis began in a shadowy part of the financial system called repo, which is short for repurchase agreement.  In 2008, repo was ground zero, the epicenter of the meltdown. That’s where the bank run took place that froze the credit markets and sent the financial system into freefall. Unfortunately, nothing has been done to fix the problems in repo, which means that we’re just as vulnerable today as we were five years ago when Lehman imploded and all hell broke loose." - Source:  CounterPunch

Peter Schiff On WhatsApp And The "Dysfunctional And Distorted Economy"
A quote...."Two pieces of business news announced this week provide a convenient frame through which to view our dysfunctional and distorted economy. The first (which has attracted tremendous attention), is Facebook's blockbuster $19 billion acquisition of instant messaging provider WhatsApp. The second (which few have noticed) is the horrific earnings report issued by Texas-based retail chain Conn's. While these two developments don't seem to have much in common, together they shed some very unflattering light on where we stand economically. --  Given the size and extravagance of the Facebook deal, it may go down as one of those transactions that define an era (think AOL and Time Warner). Facebook paid $19 billion for a company with just 55 employees, little name recognition, negligible revenues, and little prospects to earn much in the future. For the same money the company could have bought American Airlines and Dunkin' Donuts, and still have had $2 billion left over for R&D. Alternatively they could have used the money to lock in more than $1 billion in annual revenue through an acquisition of any one of the numerous large cap oil producing partnerships. Instead they chose a company that is in the business of giving away a valuable service for free. Come again?"

Bundesbank Must Intervene To Reassure German Gold Will Come Back
The gold held by the NY Fed is gone, it's that simple. - mpg - Related Article - A quote...."Has the German gold gone, at least the part vaulted by the US Fed? What is the reason that Germany’s gold repatriation goes ten times slower than initially planned (after one year), see here? Why was a new repatriation planning set up (after one year)? -- These questions have intrigued many gold observers, to the extent that the interest was sparked even outside the precious metals community. Recently, the German newspaper Handelsblatt released an article in which they openly express their doubts if Germany’s gold is still available. That speculation came after a new release that Germany’s first year of repatriation brought back much less gold than initially intended."

Sinister Illusions: Masking Tragedy in Ukraine - ICH Donation Drive - Click Here
Must Read - A quote...."February 20, 2014 "Information Clearing House -  It is no secret that Barack Obama is one of the supreme illusionists of modern times. The disconnect between his words and his deeds is so profound as to be almost sublime, far surpassing the crude obfuscations of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. Their projections of unreality were more transparent, and in any case were merely designed to put a little lipstick on the pig of policies they were openly pushing. For example, they openly wanted to conquer Iraq and expand the militarist state, they openly wanted to redistribute national wealth to the elite, so they just gussied up this unhidden agenda with some fantasies about WMD and the occult magic of "tax cuts," whereby enriching the rich and degrading all notion of the common good would somehow create a utopia of prosperity (for deserving white folk, at least). -- There was a disconnect between their rhetoric and reality, to be sure, but it was easily seen through (except, of course, by the highly-paid credulous cretins of our national media). Indeed, the Bushists seemed unconcerned by how threadbare their lies were; they delivered their lines like bored performers at the end of a long stage run, not caring whether they were believed or not -- just as long as they got to do what they wanted. -- But Obama has taken all this to another level." - Source:  CounterPunch - Originator:  ChrisFloyd

More Tales From the Zio-Sphere....

Of Dracula and Zionism
Must Read - A quote...."....you cannot strike a deal with Dracula and still remain safe. For Dracula to live, you have to die. As long as you live, he will try to bludgeon you to death. If Dracula happens to keep you alive, rest assured that it is for his own benefit, not yours. -- The connection between Dracula and Zionism is quite striking. Zionism does not care whether you give your sons and daughters to die in the Middle East. -- If the Zionists have to literally turn America into “the United States of Paranoia”[1] or “the greatest threat to world peace”[2] in order for their nefarious dream come true, they will. If they have to use the IRS in order to attack groups that they do not like, they will.[3] -- If they have to turn America into a country where the government can kill its own citizens without a trial, they will.[4] If they have to use the NSA to slaughter civilians in the Middle East,[5] they will. If they have to use Syria as a pretext to share more blood,[6] you can bet on that...."

Cost of Israel to the US
A quote...."Our uniquely massive support for Israel has cost trillions of dollars and multitudes of lives. It has diminished our moral standing in the world, lessened our domestic freedoms, and exposed us to unnecessary and growing peril. - The majority of Americans – as well as our diplomatic and military experts – oppose this unique relationship. Yet, the lobby for Israel continues to foment policies that are disastrous for our nation and tragic for the region. - If we are to have Middle East policies that serve the national interest, that represent the highest values of our founders and our citizens, and that work to sustain a nation of honor, decency, security, and prosperity, then it is essential that all Americans become active and informed. Below are the facts...."

Jew Spying and Crimes Committed Against Americans
A quote...."“I have made myself a rule. Whenever I hear a person speak in the name of ‘Jewish values’ or ‘as a Jew’, I immediately seek cover. I suggest you do the same." -- *Gilad Atzmon*, Israeli-born Jewish writer, author, musician and blogger, September 14, 2012. -- "This is only a partial list, as the entire list would be enough to fill a book, since these 'Talmud Terrorists' have never stopped attacking or looting, pillaging and plundering their 'ally,' the USA, which it treats like an always open ATM, with no limits on the amount of cash taken and an open around-the-clock arms bazaar, with Israel picking the most advanced and deadly weapons to add to its arsenal, again, courtesy of the American taxpayers."

Confessed 9/11 terrorist Silverstein “helps NYC shine”
A quote...."President of the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) Steve Spinola is a huge fan – and an admitted friend and associate – of confessed 9/11 terrorist Larry Silverstein.

The right of return is for individuals to decide, not for Abbas to concede
A quote...."Yet again, we hear that President Mahmoud Abbas has more or less conceded the lawful right for Palestinian refugees to return to their homeland. Last year he told Israelis that although he would like to visit his birthplace in Safed, which is now in Israel, he did not expect to live there. Now he has told a group of Israelis visiting Ramallah that he has no wish to “drown the Jewish character” of Israel with returning refugees. This is an astonishing thing for him to say because its implications are so serious." -  Source:  MEMO

BDS Action Alert - A quote...."The BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement is gathering pace nicely. It now needs to shift up a gear and widen its scope. Important elections are looming again – the European elections in a few months and the UK general election next year. Membership of Friends of Israel is said to be a stepping stone to high office in government. It is also a pathway to being successfully selected as a parliamentary candidate in the first place. Many hopefuls are  ‘groomed’ on the conveyor-belt through Tel Aviv’s propaganda cesspit long before becoming MPs. Agent William Hague, our beloved Foreign Secretary, was a member of Conservative Friends of Israel while a schoolboy and probably still in short trousers."

But Iranian officials and outside experts say that development of the network has accelerated following cyberattacks aimed at the country’s nuclear program." - For more on this issue see articles shown below.....

How the Pentagon Covers Up the Truth About Its War Atrocities
A quote...."It’s 2053 — 20 years since you needed a computer, tablet, or smart phone to go online. At least, that’s true in the developed world: you know, China, India, Brazil, and even some parts of the United States. Cybernetic eye implants allow you to see everything with a digital overlay. And once facial recognition software was linked to high-speed records searches, you had the lowdown on every person standing around you. Of course, in polite society you still introduce yourself as if you don’t instantly know another person’s net worth, arrest record, and Amazooglebook search history. (Yes, the fading old-tech firms Amazon, Google, and Facebook merged in 2033.) You also get a tax break these days if you log into one of the government’s immersive propaganda portals. (Nope, “propaganda” doesn’t have negative connotations anymore.) So you choose the Iraq War 50th Anniversary Commemoration Experience and take a stroll through the virtual interactive timeline."

The U.S. poll also shows that Americans additionally believe that President George W. Bush’s policies in Afghanistan failed, so Gallup shows no clear distinction between the two U.S. Presidents on this matter."

Trickle Down Economics & The Rise of the New Sociopathic Class
Must Read - A quote...."The idea behind trickle-down economics was that the wealthy were job creators, and that by reducing taxes on the affluent, more jobs would be created, resulting in prosperity for all. Trickle-down economics was christened with an official name, supply side economics, and sold to the American people with a slogan; a rising tide lifts all boats.  However, you can’t put lipstick on a pig: the system is called capitalism and it is killing people and the environment. -- We now know trickle-down economics was a lie, a fraudulent scheme to redistribute money from the many to a few, and a theft of the nation’s wealth. Rather than  a rising tide, thirty plus years of trickle-down economics has brought us the loss of tens of millions of jobs through outsourcing, the devastation of entire cities, the financial collapse of 2008 and an ever widening income disparity and inequality between the so called job creators and the other 99% of the population."

Bounties:  Fine In Principal, Terrible In Practice

Iraq’s new weapon against jihadists: Bounties of up to $25,000
Bounties Offered - A quote...."BAGHDAD - Iraq, struggling to curb its worst violence in years, is offering bounties of up to $25,000 for killing or capturing a foreign jihadist fighter, state television reported Thursday. - The defence ministry is offering 20 million dinars ($16,666/12,165 euros) to anyone who "kills a foreign terrorist from ISIL (the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) and Al-Qaeda" and 30 million dinars to anyone who captures "a terrorist from among them," it reported." - bold/underline by website editor

In principle, it sounds like a really good idea, in practice, it's a complete invitation for murder and mayhem on a mass scale.  Without extremely strict controls, it will inevitably result in the deliberate murder of mostly innocent people.  After all, innocent civilians are a lot easier to kill than well armed, well trained, Jihadists....just ask the Amerikans about that.

For an example of just how such a program can get completely out of control all one has to do is look at what happened in Columbia.  Towards the end of their program, military units (much less a bunch of privateers), the only ones allowed to participate in the program, were rounding up hundreds of completely innocent indigents and poor peasants and executing them for the money. 

Also, in a completely chaotic place like Iraq, it could very well be the Jihadists being sought who wind up collecting the rewards....for murdering those who sought them.  No doubt totally hilarious from their point of view, but probably not what those who came up with this proposal had in mind.

In a program of offering rewards where a specific individual is not identified by some sort of public, judicial, process and a wanted poster is issued, it would be best to register all the "bounty hunters", heavily monitor their activities, and have them turn in reports of what happened for each person captured.

Dead "Jihadists" should only be excepted if they were killed in a publicly witnessed, or documented fire-fight. In fact, considering just how cheap and reliable video recording technology is, perhaps all "bounty hunters" should be forced to wear such equipment when performing their "duties". - mpg

Old Testament Armed Forces
Must Read - A quote...."The connection between America’s wars in the Middle East—and its wars more generally—with the more fundamentalist forms of Christianity in the United States is striking. Opinion polls suggest that the more religiously conservative one is, the more one will support overseas wars or even what many might describe as war crimes. Fully 60 percent of self-described evangelicals supported torturing suspected terrorists in 2009, for example. That is somewhat puzzling, as Christianity is, if anything, a religion of peace that only reluctantly embraced a “just war” concept that was deliberately and cautiously evolved to permit Christians—under very limited circumstances of imminent threat—to fight to defend themselves." - Source:  TheAmericanConservative

Russia and the Middle East: the process of “concentration” has ended
A quote...."International analysts have started paying increasingly more attention to the role of modern Russia in the Middle East in recent years. The title of this article brings to mind the words of Prince Alexander Gorchakov (1798-1883), an outstanding Russian diplomat, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Alexander II, who said shortly after Russia’s disastrous Crimean War (1853-1856): “La Russie ne boude pas – elle se recueille” – “Russia is concentrating”. He made it clear that Russia was not surrendering its right to have a voice in international affairs, but was just gathering its strength for the future. Indeed, at that time, Russian diplomacy rejected the articles of the Treaty of Paris on the neutralization of the Black Sea, which were derogatory to Russia’s dignity, and despite the protests of Britain, the great powers had to recognize Russia’s right to have its navy in the Black Sea. -- The current situation in the Middle East involuntarily brings to mind those years."

Iran’s Khamenei says nuclear talks will ‘lead nowhere’ - Gee....you think! - mpg
Yes....that's exactly the result the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium and their colonial lackeys want.  Now.... a word to the wise.  Iran should arm up, create tens of thousands of bolt holes nationwide, make absolutely every command & control and/or military asset completely mobile, and move them constantly.  Invest in anti-aircraft & anti-missile systems that can shoot anything down, invest in drones of all types, invest in good encryption using only indigenously manufactured equipment and software, change all their codes and introduce new techniques at the start of any hostilities, and most importantly, develop a highly accurate, long-range, hypersonic cruise missile that can carry a one ton warhead (they should be incrediably  inexpensive to build, one thousandth the price of a regular cruise missile if you use a ramjet/scramjet design, $500 to $1,000 a pop) .....and build a hundred thousand of them!  Iran should stop all their cheap "victory" talk, and all their stupid "bring it on" rhetoric, and pray really... really.... hard.  If Iran does all that, they might -- just might -- survive the next couple of years as a viable independent Bankster-free  nation-state. - mpg - Source:  al-Akhbar

The Pentagon Makes History the First Casualty
A quote...."Call me human.  It turns out that I’m no better at predicting the future than the rest of humanity.  If as a species we were any good at it, right now I would undoubtedly be zipping through the gloriously spired skies over my hometown, New York City, my jet pack strapped to my back, just as I was promised by those imagining the future in my youth.  I’ve been an editor in the book business for almost four decades and I still wouldn’t put a buck at decent odds on my predictions about which books will make it.  When it came to Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam, whose focus is American war crimes in Vietnam, I spent years assuring its author, Nick Turse, that in the America we both knew, the odds were it would promptly fall into the abyss where unnoticed books go to die.  Mind you, I never had a second’s doubt that it would be a great book — but a great, ignored book was my best guess.  --  Of course, as most readers of TomDispatch know....it hit the New York Times bestseller list."

The armed forces had deposed the country’s first elected president, who was backed by the Muslim Brotherhood, in a coup in July 2013. The dark clouds that had been gathering in the weeks since the coup in the Arab world’s most populous country got darker on Aug. 14, 2013, when the Egyptian military ordered the clearing of a Muslim Brotherhood protest camp in Cairo and slaughtered hundreds of largely unarmed people."

As The Washington Examiner reports, the poll was conducted to test the media hype about a comeback by 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. While the poll found voters still uninspired by Romney, they are also deeply dissatisfied with Obama (though given the choice of Obama versus Romney, Obama supporters said they would stick with their guy, 79% to 10% for Romney) giving Obama, as The Examiner notes, very early lame duck status before the midterm elections."

Global Capitalism Has Written Off The Human Race - PCR  - ICH Donation Drive - Click Here
Must Read - A quote...."Economic theory teaches that free price and profit movements ensure that capitalism produces the greatest welfare for the greatest number. Losses indicate economic activities where costs exceed the value of production, thus investment in these activities is curtailed. Profits indicate economic activities where the value of output exceeds its cost, thus investment increases. Prices indicate the relative scarcity and value of inputs and outputs, thus serving to organize production most efficiently. -- This theory doesn’t work when the US government socializes cost and privatizes profits as it has been doing with the Federal Reserve’s support of “banks too big to fail” and when a handful of financial institutions have concentrated much economic activity." - Source:  PaulCraigRoberts

Does The Trail Of Dead Bankers Lead Somewhere?
Bankster Death Watch - A quote...."What are we to make of this sudden rash of banker suicides?  Does this trail of dead bankers lead somewhere?  Or could it be just a coincidence that so many bankers have died in such close proximity?  I will be perfectly honest and admit that I do not know what is going on.  But there are some common themes that seem to link at least some of these deaths together.  First of all, most of these men were in good health and in their prime working years.  Secondly, most of these “suicides” seem to have come out of nowhere and were a total surprise to their families.  Thirdly, three of the dead bankers worked for JP Morgan.  Fourthly, several of these individuals were either involved in foreign exchange trading or the trading of derivatives in some way.  So when “a foreign exchange trader” jumped to his death from the top of JP Morgan’s Hong Kong headquarters this morning, that definitely raised my eyebrows.  These dead bankers are starting to pile up, and something definitely stinks about this whole thing."
