Washington Is Driving The World To The Final War — Paul Craig Roberts - They wish....mpg
Special Note - A quote...."V For Vendetta,” a film that portrays evil in a futuristic England as a proxy for the evil that exists today in America, ends with the defeat of evil. But this is a movie in which the hero has super powers. If you have not seen this film, you should watch it. It might wake you up and give you courage. The excerpts below show that, at least among some filmmakers, the desire for liberty still exists. - Whether the desire for liberty exists in America remains to be seen." - also posted at ICH

The Rise and Fall of Great Powers
Special Note - A quote...." Kennedy proposes one mechanism that he claims does hold true over time: it's not the absolute wealth and power of any one nation or empire that matters, it's the economic growth rate of competitors and its wealth and power relative to theirs that matter. A nation whose economic base is growing at a lower rate than a competitor slowly become relatively weaker than its rival, even though its absolute wealth is still increasing. -- He also notes a tendency for powers in relative decline (i.e. those growing less robustly than their neighbors/rivals) to spend more on military security as their position in the pecking order weakens. This diversion of national surplus to military spending further saps their economic vitality as funds are shifted from investment to unproductive military spending. This creates a feedback loop as lower investment weakens their economic base which then causes the leadership to respond to this weakening power with more military spending. -- This feedback creates lags, where an economically weakening power may actually increase its military power, until the overtaxed economy implodes under the weight of the high military spending."

Are Liberals Stupid? - More importantly, are they really "liberal", or are they actually neo-liberal? - mpg
A quote...."Whether liberals are "stupid" is probably the wrong question. A lot of smart people support stupid things; their intelligence is irrelevant. But there can be no doubt that American liberals support -- and lord knows, say -- a lot of stupid things. Barack Obama, for instance. - Supporting Barack Obama on the basis that he was anything but a slightly lesser evil -- itself very much arguable -- was highly stupid. If you hated John McCain or Mitt Romney more, fine. Understandable, even. But claiming Obama was a great progressive leader in the making was always stupid. But a lot of smart (and stupid) people thought such things. - It's worth revisiting, as a lot of bad things have happened because of it." - Source:  AlethoNews

The Executive Branch of the U.S. Government World's Most Evil and Lawless Institution?
A quote...."June 28, 2013 "Information Clearing House -  America has a secret. It is not discussed in polite company or at the dinner tables of the powerful, rich and famous. -- Parents do not teach it to their children. Best-selling authors do not write about it. Politicians and government officials ignore it. Intellectuals avoid it. High school and college textbooks do not refer to it. TV pundits do not comment on it. Teachers do not teach it. Journalists from the nation's most highly regarded TV news shows, newspapers and magazines, do not report it. Columnists do not opine about it. Editorial writers do not editorialize about it. Religious leaders do not sermonize about it. Think tanks and professors do not study it. Lawyers do not litigate it and judges do not rule on it. -- The courageous few who do not keep this secret, who try to break through to their fellow citizens about it, are marginalized and ignored by society at large. -- To begin to understand the magnitude of this secret, imagine that you get into your car in New York City, and set out for a drive south, staying overnight in Washington DC, a four-hour drive. As you leave, you look out your window to the left and see a row of bodies, laid end to end, running alongside you all the way to DC."

Turn Your Back This Fourth of July
A quote...."In a few days, we will all have an opportunity to peacefully inflict a major psychological blow on the rapidly coalescing police state by the simple but powerful act of refusing to play along with the absurd pantomime on the 4th of July that we live in an even nominally free country – one with the rule of law, an operative Constitution and respect for individual rights."

Earth’s Alpha Predator: Zionist Mafia
Must Read - A quote...."Humanity free of Zionism . . . try to imagine the horizon, the potential for positive growth and decency—the sheer humanity of disarming the elite. Imagine the elite global war/genocide machine dead in its tracks. --  Actions trump lies. Evidence does not lie . . . so how has the American public been so brainwashed by lies, in light of so much evidence?

Missing from Rick Gladstone’s piece, though, is any mention of Israel. It’s a glaring omission given the fact that the group has connections to Israel lobby groups and receives funding from organizations with a focus on Judaism and Israel. -- The group was founded in 2008 by high-level officials like former Bush administration official Mark Wallace, the current CEO, and former Obama administration officials like the late Richard Holbrooke and Dennis Ross, who has handled the Israel file in a number of presidential administrations."

A quote...."Despite denials by Google spokesmen that they willingly permitted any of their data to be mined, it appears they did allow the National Security Agency (NSA) to passively infiltrate their networks. - The missing link in this cyber-spying conundrum can be traced to two Israeli companies founded in the 1990s. According to a June 8 article by syndicated columnist and peace activist Richard Silverstein, “The NSA hired two secretive Israeli companies to wiretap the U.S. telecommunications network. Verint and Narus created programs which offered the NSA back-doors to all major U.S. technology companies, including Facebook, Microsoft and Google.”"

One commentator noted....

"The bank claims to have spent $6000 removing the washable chalk messages, when a garden hose (or the next rain) would have obliterated it anyway. The judge erred in ordering the First Amendment barred from the proceedings, first because of the Supremacy Clause in the Constitution, and second because that bank does not own the sidewalks; they are public property and therefore a legitimate venue for public protest. -- The draconian over-reaction to the messages and the blatant defiance of the Bill of Rights is intended to send the message that your right to freedom of speech stops when confronting the money-junkies. Feel free to complain about gay marriage, abortion, Paula Deen, but don;t you DARE say anything critical about the banks (or Israel)!" -- *Michael Rivero*

Rudd’s comeback has been courtesy of the same Labor Party operatives who suddenly removed him as prime minister and installed Gillard in the inner-party coup of June 2010. - The extraordinary political turmoil belies the international image of Australian capitalism, assiduously promoted by the political and media establishment, as a bastion of political and social stability.

Secrets and Lies

Fiat truth. - We are not allowed to have any secrets any more.  And yet those who insist they must know the truth about us, who spy upon us to extract our secrets, tell us. in return, only lies. - It is a dangerous, corroding imbalance of power, because lies, like debts, compound. - We all know the famous Goebbels quote...."

"From Sadam’s weapons of mass destruction and missiles that could hit us in just 40 minutes of sexed up bullshit, to the stress tests that show us every bank is perfectly solvent and however many billions they launder they are never guilty and no one goes to goal because they are too big to fail and too connected to even question....."Definition:  ||  Lie  ||

Shaping us into robots, by John Kaminski
Must Read - A quote...."Three behavior-shaping events — the sorry sagas of Edward Snowden, Julian Assange and Bradley Manning — are all meant to condition us into passive acceptance of what we are told to do. They have brought a dystopic future into the present moment, in which patriotism is rewarded by torture, and it is now a crime to be honest. - These very public passion plays, all involving the staged dramas of seemingly ordinary people who blow the whistle on the creeping tyranny of government corruption, have imbued in our minds that profound penalties await us should we vary from the mandatory public narrative and attempt to contradict what the government commands us to do. - Each event has reinforced the idea that doing the right thing is a crime. They have positioned honesty and integrity beyond the range of acceptable human behavior. And they have done something even worse."

It's guilty of worldwide espionage on a massive, unprecedented scale. - Edward Snowden revealed it. Everyone needs to know. He did it heroically. He accepted great risks. He acted responsibly.

Do You Recognize this Man? He Was One of the Greatest Mass Murderers of All Time
A quote...."Here is the full book description from The Secret Behind Communism by Dr,. David Duke, as taken from the hardcover dust jacket...."

Do You Recognize this Man? - Not one person out of a thousand knows his name. It is Genrikh Yagoda, and historians agree that this Soviet communist secret police boss was one of the greatest genocidal mass murderers of all time. - We hear almost nothing about him in the globalist media. - However, Israeli media reveal things that are hushed up for the rest of us. A major Israeli publication, Ynet News, disclosed the historical truth about Yagoda saying...."

“We mustn’t forget that some of the greatest mass murderers of all time were Jewish.” It goes on...." -- "Genrikh Yagoda was the greatest Jewish murderer of the 20th Century… is responsible for the deaths of at least 10 million people.”

The Excrescent Efflorescence of the Flowers of Evil
Special Note - Some quotes...."The aim of the system is corruption and compliance. This serves the deeper intent for which it came into being in the first place, kind of like being triangulated by the world, the devil and the deep blue sea. It appears impossibly hard to most people to see a way out of the situation, so... they accommodate to the demands placed on them, until they retire and expire, should they get that far. There are plenty of distractions to keep the attention occupied. If you're lucky (or think you are), you get distracted by the high end side of things and get to feel singled out and privileged. This spares you the discomfort of all the things designed to wake you up. I can see where waking up, inside the system, could be similar to waking up inside a coffin made of glass. It can certainly feel that way, until you discover the necessary tools that attend the awakening."  --  "If you don't have the pharmaceuticals or the distractions. If they don't work on you. You're going to wake up and you are going to find that you have change some things. You won't have any choice. There's something inside of the human psyche that knows this and this is why people resist awakening and resist change....."

Intelsat got their marching orders from the US-NRE, which got its marching orders from the AIPCA/Israeli Consortium.  Again PROVING, once and for all (for the few out there who still might have some doubts) that any treaty, truce, codicil, agreement, contract, commitment, covenant, resolution, understanding, proposal, promise, protocol, oath, affidavit or affirmation by the United Sates of America, Britain, or the criminal enclave called Israel, or any person or agency representing these governments, or any corporations controlled by these governments, is not worth the piece of paper it's written on, or the breath it's spoken on. -- In other words....don't even bother - IT - IS - A - COMPLETE - WASTE - OF - ANYONE'S - TIME -  to do "business" with these entities and those who represent them, and will usually result in involuntary impoverishment, injury, and death, sooner or later,  for almost all who attempt to do so. - mpg

A concise answer to Israel’s New York consul-general’s question “Why boycott Israel?
A quote...."The fact that Zionist influence spreads far beyond Israel’s area of dominion and now influences many of the policy making institutions of Western governments, and particularly that of the United States, makes it imperative that Israel’s oppressive behaviour be singled out as a high priority case for boycott. In other words, unlike other oppressive and brutal governments, the Israelis and their supporters directly influence (one might say corrupt) the policy-makers of many Western nations and this often makes their governments (most specifically the US) accomplices in Israel’s abusive policies. This being so, prioritizing Israel for boycott is not hypocrisy but rather necessity."

The Public Doesn’t Believe the NSA … Knows What’s Really Going On With Mass Spying
Must Read - A quote...."The government keeps on lying about how it’s spying on Americans without authorization from a court. -- It keeps lying about the scope of its spying. -- It keeps lying about the need for mass surveillance (and here) and the way that the information gained from spying will really be used … to harass political opponents. -- Indeed, NSA whistleblower Russel Tice – a key source in the 2005 New York Times report that blew the lid off the Bush administration’s use of warrantless wiretapping –recently said that the NSA illegally spied on General Petraeus and other generals, Supreme Court Justice Alito and all of the other supreme court justices, Barack Obama, the White House spokesman, and many other top officials. -- The mainstream media will not interview Tice about this explosive issue. (Tice made his revelations to former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds – who has been deemed credible by the Department of Justice’s Inspector General, several senators [free subscription required], and a coalition of prominent conservative and liberal groups – and to James Corbett.  Edmonds and Corbett have small, alternative media web-based radio shows.)"

The Truth Shall Keep Us Free
Special Note - A quote...."Which is more dangerous to personal liberty in a free society: a renegade who tells an inconvenient truth about government law-breaking, or government officials who lie about what the renegade revealed? That’s the core issue in the great public debate this summer, as Americans come to the realization that their government has concocted a system of laws violative of the natural law, profoundly repugnant to the Constitution and shrouded in secrecy."

If U.S. Mass Media Were State-Controlled, Would They Look Any Different?
A quote...."The Edward Snowden leaks have revealed a U.S. corporate media system at war with independent journalism. Many of the same outlets – especially TV news – that missed the Wall Street meltdown and cheer-led the Iraq invasion have come to resemble state-controlled media outlets in their near-total identification with the government as it pursues the now 30-year-old whistleblower."

Why Didn’t Snowden Go through “Proper Channels” to Blow the Whistle?
Graphic - (click to view) -- A quote...."Polls show that Americans know the government is spying on all of us for improper purposes … but that many Americans are unsure whether or not the whistleblowers who brought us that information should be prosecuted. - The uncertainty regarding whistleblowers stems from a misunderstanding about the options that whistleblowers have to inform the American people of illegal actions by our government. - Specifically, numerous whistleblowers have tried to go through “proper channels” to expose illegal spying by the NSA and other government agencies …but nothing changed in response to their lawful attempts. - [Actually something DID change....] - Not only did the government do everything it could to shut them up, but it threatened, prosecuted and harassed them...."

U.S. Threats to Other Countries on Snowden Not Working Very Well
A quote...."What’s up with John Kerry, or whoever is writing his talking points?  Did he really think he was going to publicly threaten Russia and bully its government into capturing Snowden and rendering him to the U.S.?  (Wikileaks has correctly noted that such a capture and hand-over would be a “rendition,” analogous to the people the U.S. and allied governmental agencies have captured and turned over to countries like Egypt and Syria to be tortured)."

1. Why didn't jets intercept the airliners since they had numerous warnings of terrorist attacks?
2. Why did Ashcroft stop flying commercial airlines, citing an unidentified "threat" in July 2001?
3. Why did FEMA lie about their presence in New York on 9/11?

5. Why did George H.W. Bush meet bin Laden's brother on 9/11?

9/11 Firefighters: Bombs and Explosions in the WTC
Contains Videos - A quote...."[Firefighter Louie] Cacchioli was called to testify privately [before the 9/11 Commission], but walked out on several members of the committee before they finished, feeling like he was being interrogated and cross-examined rather than simply allowed to tell the truth about what occurred in the north tower on 9/11. "My story was never mentioned in the final report [PDF download] and I felt like I was being put on trial in a court room," said Cacchioli. "I finally walked out. They were trying to twist my words and make the story fit only what they wanted to hear....."

A Good Summation of the Case for US/Israel Involvement in 9-11
A quote...."The task was simple, deny the evidence, cover-up the embarrassing arrest of  two Israelis with an explosives-tainted truck, and give the media a reason  to return to the mantra of "all terror is caused by Muslims" But what started as a simply attempt to spin the news away from the Israelis arrested in Washington State has  backfired on the Bush administration in a big way. In conducting the classic "limited hangout" of admitting to foreknowledge of  the attacks of 9-11 in order to reassert the link to Osama bin Laden, Bush has handed opponents of his administration and opponents of World War the most damning proof yet that the reality of 9-11 is  not what the US Government and media have been telling the American people it is."

Welcome to the New Unholy Roman Empire....Slaves!!
06-27-13 - revised 06-28-13
mpg

Supreme Court Guts Voting Rights Act & Supreme Court strikes down DOMA, Proposition 8
It is NOT an accident that these two decisions were handed down in the same week. - On March 27th, 2013, commenting on an article that hinted the "conservative" Supreme Court might rule for Prop Eight this website editor wrote the following....."

"This is the New Roman Empire, the Supreme Court is Neo-Roman to its core, they will rule AGAINST Proposition 8 whereupon all the little neo-conservatives and all the little neo-liberals will pretend surprise at the Court's "reasonableness" and their willingness to "overcome their inherent conservative philosophy on behalf of the nation".  And you peasants, you peons, you groveling, obsequious, genuflecting, serfs out there will have what little remains of your historic social and cultural structures - ground - into - the - dust."

There is ONE, and ONLY ONE - striking similarity - that these two decisions share in common. Which, for some unknown reason, has not been pointed out by anyone!  The dismissive treatment, nay, the spitting of the Supreme Court upon the rights of the people to have their votes counted.

In the case of Proposition Eight the Federal court system did it TWICE.  Once when the California Federal appeals court overturned Proposition Eight which passed by a MAJORITY of Californian voters and again when the Supreme Court, with it's Imperial Neo-Roman, pro-homosexual, arrogance, refused to let Proposition Eight proponents argue their case in front of them.  They said they "had no standing", they denied them their day in court. - This is a manifest celebration of Imperial Neo-Roman power and the values of the parasites who run this country by those on the Supreme Court.

The Court's "argument", if you could call it that, is a radical interpretation of the equal protection clause of the United States Constitution.  They essentially stated that "Marriage" between a man and a woman is equal (thus equal protection) to that between two of the same sex.  An obvious untruth.  There are obvious differences.

• Marriage was founded and created on the FACT that men and women are NOT equal, i.e. that they ARE, actually, physically, different.
  
• The very basis FOR the institution of Marriage IS (or was) the differences between a man and a woman....and the potential that difference created. To DENY that as the Supreme Court has done by this decision is a grave violation of everyone's civil rights. It is a perversion of them. They have ruled that a person's gender is now, no longer a factor where marriage is concerned.  They have essentially denied it exists.
  
• Sex between those of the same gender is different than that between a man and a woman, they have denied this also as a factor for their new definition of marriage.
• Sex between those of the same gender cannot result in procreation, one of the fundamental basis's, although not the only basis, for marriage. They have denied this also as a factor for their new definition of marriage.
  
• There can be no possible interpretation that this decision rests upon the "original intent" of those who wrote the United State's constitution, specifically the founder's understanding of the equal protection clause.
• Marriage is now defined by THE COURT, as a contract between two bio-human units. (Why it should be limited to just two is simply a fashion statement and there is no logical or legal basis for it) -- Gender, sex and procreative considerations do not matter.  Under this definition there is absolutely no reason why two brothers can't marry each other or two sisters can't marry each other, or change their sex, become hermaphrodites or even adopt children. Perhaps, as the French called everyone "citizen" during their revolution, and the Soviets called everyone "comrade" during theirs, we should now all call each other by the gender  neutral "IT".  It would after all be politically correct.
  

The Court believes, perhaps like some ancient group of Alchemists, that with a few confused, convoluted, utterly indecipherable mumblings and some passes of their magic gavel through the air, that they can, by arrogant decree alone, turn two weak, malleable metals, that of tin and copper, into something they simply cannot be separately, but when combined are transformed into the hard and durable metal called bronze.

In their infinite arrogance, in their disdain for what is real, they have defined the properties contained in those metals called copper and tin as being EXACTLTY the same as those contained in their combination.

They believe they can render by jurisprudence alone, by judicial dictat, by a few choice phrases, the sea or the land into something that they cannot be separately by themselves, into that area where they, meet, mingle, change, war and eventually accommodate each other, the sea-shore.

In their extraordinary, contemptuousness for the natural order they have defined the middle of the Pacific ocean, or the heart of Death Valley, as EXACTLY the same as what would comprise these elements were they to eventually meet.

They are utterly and totally wrong. They are dangerously deluded.

No judgement by them or any other court, or laws passed by any legislature, or the trendy fashions of a bored, pampered, degenerate, population along with the twisted values of their murderous decadent, declining, empire, can make such an interpretation true. 

By word alone they cannot change base, weak, copper and tin into bronze.  Nor by any imaginable deed alone can they change the roiling liquid sea, or the firm obdurate land, into the "sea shore" itself.

The Court's intemperate, ill-considered, ill-logical edict, (one can hardly call it a decision) reminds this website editor of King Cnut....

Cnut set his throne by the sea shore and commanded the tide to halt and not wet his feet and robes. Yet "continuing to rise as usual [the tide] dashed over his feet and legs without respect to his royal person. Then the king leapt backwards, saying: 'Let all men know how empty and worthless is the power of kings, [and Courts]  for there is none worthy of the name, but He whom heaven, earth, and sea obey by eternal laws.' He then hung his gold crown on a crucifix, and never wore it again "to the honour of God the almighty King"

If only this court would do the same and collectively resign....

As regard's to their decision against the Voting Rights Act, they appeared to have COMPLETELY ignored all the TENS OF THOUSANDS of successful attempts to "cage voters", strike them off the rolls and prevent their votes from being counted in hundreds of devious, illegal, unconstitutional ways.  Systems of voter suppression which were primarily targeted against minority voters (for now) and which have already resulted in TWO fraudulent presidential  elections. 

We currently have a system of "electronic" voting (selection), which is run by offshore companies under the control of foreign powers.  To strike down one of the major acts which offered at least a partial check on the GROWING voter fraud in this country demonstrates quite clearly where the loyalties of some of the Supreme Court "Justices" actually lay. It is NOT in the United States or with the United States Constitution. It is with those companies, and those foreign citizens who actually run our voting system and who, coincidentally enough, also support the Supreme Court's decision regarding homosexual marriage.

To all those members of the "liberal" (Neo-Liberal) community who supported the Supreme Court's decision regarding homosexual marriage, as your children become further confused, as they're used and abused by the wealthy parasites who foisted this decision on the rest of this society, as the family structures and the institutions of marriage break down even further, including those in your own home, you deserve what's coming.

To those Neo-Liberal "wives" who make more money than your spouses of the opposite sex, as you're divorced and later sued by your former "husband" and his male partner to provide alimony under this new decision, as they teach your children their "new found" values, as they "win" custody of them, you deserve what you get. 

Dito for the former Neo-Liberal "husbands" as they lose their parental rights, and their hard earned money, to those of a changing persuasion.

To those Neo-Conservative, racist, so-called "states-rights" supporters who applauded the Supreme Court's decision regarding the Voting Rights Act, as this decision is later used to strike down every attempt to have legitimate and lawful elections in this country, and it WILL be, just remember you supported this decision, and you deserve what's coming.

To all those in the African American and Hispanic communities, many of whom voted for that murderous, obscene, grotesque, thing currently squatting in the White House, a well known bi-sexual creature utterly devoid of any morality and totally beholden to a tiny, alien, foreign power by the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, and who did so on the basis of his skin color and NOT on the content of his character, you deserve what's coming.

Why the Status Quo Is Doomed
Must Read - Charts - (click to view) -- A quote...."Progressives and conservatives have long shared a single agenda: growth. Growth increases prosperity and wealth, and this makes for contented voters who will keep voting for incumbents. - This agenda makes three implicit assumptions...."

1. Inflation is OK as long as the economy and household wealth expand at a rate that exceeds inflation
2. Increasing debt is OK as long as income and assets both grow faster than debt
3. Wealth/income inequality is OK as long as the wealth/income of the bottom 90% is expanding at the same rate as the top 10%

"In other words, if most of the wealth generated by growth flows to the top 10% (who coincidentally fund 99% of political campaigns) that's OK, as long as enough "trickles down" to the lower 90% to boost their wealth/income by an equivalent percentage. (The top 10% actually own 83% of the wealth, and the top 1% own 43%) "

Despite this, many brave insiders continue to come forward to reveal the extent of corruption at the highest levels. -- Edward Snowden and Bradley Manning are taking center stage at the moment. Yet, former World Bank Senior Legal Counsel, Karen Hudes, seen in the video below with Sean Stone, and a new video interview with RT's Abby Martin is revealing equally important information about corruption at the World Bank, and a tiny group pulling the strings of politicians and the media to suppress knowledge of their activities."

A judge has barred his attorney from mentioning freedom of speech during trial. - According to the San Diego Reader, which reported on Tuesday that a judge had opted to prevent Olson’s attorney from “mentioning the First Amendment, free speech, free expression, public forum, expressive conduct, or political speech during the trial,” Olson must now stand trial for on 13 counts of vandalism." - bold/underline by website editor - Source:  RT - Only one quote would capture the true Kafkaesque meaning of this trial.....

"To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.” -- *Voltaire*

One commentator noted....

"The bank claims to have spent $6000 removing the washable chalk messages, when a garden hose (or the next rain) would have obliterated it anyway. The judge erred in ordering the First Amendment barred from the proceedings, first because of the Supremacy Clause in the Constitution, and second because that bank does not own the sidewalks; they are public property and therefore a legitimate venue for public protest. -- The draconian over-reaction to the messages and the blatant defiance of the Bill of Rights is intended to send the message that your right to freedom of speech stops when confronting the money-junkies. Feel free to complain about gay marriage, abortion, Paula Deen, but don;t you DARE say anything critical about the banks (or Israel)!" -- *Michael Rivero*

Real Disposable [US] Income is Falling at 2008 Rates
Chart - (click to enlarge) -- A quote..."The biggest single most important item in the GDP report yesterday was the collapse in disposable income for Americans. - Most investors will focus on the drop in GDP growth for 1Q13 and view it as opening the door for the Fed to continue with QE 3 and QE 4 without any tapering in sight. - After all, the markets have believed that bad economic news is good news for the markets for four years based on the belief that a weak economy will mean more money printing from the Fed. - However, the real issue in the BEA’s report on GDP growth was the collapse in real per capita disposable income which fell at a annualized rate of 9.21%. - That is a truly staggering collapse in incomes. The last time we say anything even close to this was in the third quarter of 2008. - That was right after Lehman failed and the entire economy and stock market were melting down. Buckle up, things are getting worse in the US at a truly alarming rate."

Soaring [US] Mortgage Rates Are Going To Make It Far More Difficult To Buy Or Sell A House
A quote...."Did you actually think that mortgage rates were going to stay at all-time lows forever?  Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke was able to grossly distort the market for a while by buying up massive amounts of government bonds and mortgage-backed securities, but there was no way in the world that the market was going to stay that distorted forever.  It simply does not make sense to give American families 30-year mortgages at a fixed interest rate of less than four percent when the real rate of inflation is somewhere around eight to ten percent and the mortgage delinquency rate in the United States is 9.72 percent."

There are a lot of leveraged players who are now being forced to sell. Usually when you have this kind of forced liquidation, you’re getting closer to a bottom, maybe not the final bottom, but certainly close to a bottom. I even bought a little bit [today].”" - Source:  BullMarketThinking

Syria, The View From The Other Side
Special Note - A quote...."If there’s another side to the story, you’re unlikely to hear it. Western mass media are not keen on presenting the world from the point of view of governments that find themselves the target of Western regime change operations. On the contrary, their concern is to present the point of view of the big business interests that own them and the Western imperialism that defends and promotes big business interests. They accept as beyond dispute all pronouncements by Western leaders on matters of foreign affairs, and accept without qualification that the official enemies of US imperialism are as nasty as the US president and secretary of state say they are. -- What follows is the largely hidden story from the other side, based on two interviews with Assad, the first conducted by Clarin newspaper and Telam news agency on May 19, 2013, and the second carried out on June 17, 2013 by Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Both were translated into English by the Syrian Arab News Agency." - also posted at WarInIraq

Like a battered spouse returning for more abuse, why does America continue its partnership with a country that routinely spies on them, steals from them, extracts wealth from them, even attacks them, and in return gives them nothing but more demands? What does America get out of this lopsided relationship and why does America sacrifice its own interest on the world stage to bow to an openly racist apartheid state with polities of state sponsored ethnic cleansing?

Israel Is Taking Over the US Chamber of Commerce
A quote...."What does this apartheid supporting group purport to do?"

"The American-Israel Chamber of Commerce, Southeast Region was established in 1992 as a private, not-for profit (and non-governmental) business organization to boost the Israeli and Southeastern economies by helping their companies develop business relationships with each other and explore new market opportunities. With over 500 members today, AICC is headquartered in Atlanta and serves companies from Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Israel."

"This Israeli managed outfit has over 500 members, ensuring the money and stolen intelligence keep flowing to 'Stolenland.' As they put it, "...delivering programs and services of great value to Israeli companies.""

AIG-Collapse Player Appointed Bank of Israel Governor
A quote...."The collapse of AIG almost brought down the American economy. Was it engineered abroad? - This outstanding Israeli economist and patriot was Vice Chairman of AIG while it collapsed. He claims to have failed to predict the sub-prime disaster. He can say that to a senatorial committee; he would never dare to mention that to an Israeli. The State of Israel would have benefited from the fallout in a myriad of ways as it did from the collapse of its own banks."

Financing the Rothschilds Heritage in StolenLand

Since its foundation in 1958 it has supported a number of major projects, including the building of the Israeli Knesset and Supreme Court, the establishment of Israel's Open University and the Institute for Advances Studies at The Hebrew University. - Yad Hanadiv is still guided by members of the Rothschild family. And most likely, the richest family on the Earth. They are Ashkenazi Jews from Khazaria, present day Georgia. - This is what one author, researching a book on the Rothschilds, said: "It was relatively easy to spot the lies, but it proved impossible to find out the truth.""

Zombie Hasbara: ‘World War Z’ and Hollywood’s Zionist embrace

We watched This is The End and Fast and Furious 6, and two of us stayed for the 2:00 am screening of World War Z. I’m not a zombie fanatic, so other than watching the Walking Dead, I had few expectations beyond the trailers that have been on TV since the Super Bowl. So I was surprised, jarred out of the movie really, when right in the middle of the narrative, Brad Pitt’s character, Gerry Lane, travels to Israel and spends more than 10 minutes in a full-on pro-Israel propaganda piece that was as corny as it was crazy. - The Times of Israel may be only slightly exaggerating when it calls this “the greatest piece of cinematic propaganda for Israel since Otto Preminger’s “Exodus.”"

Photographs of the massive NSA building in Utah built for the purpose of storing the intercepted communications of the world have been published many times. - It is not clear to an ordinary person what Snowden has revealed that William Binney and other whistleblowers have not already revealed. Perhaps the difference is that Snowden has provided documents that prove it, thereby negating Washington’s ability to deny the facts with its usual lies...." - Source:  PaulCraigRoberts - also posted at ActivistPost & LewRockwell

Whatever you think of "illegals" (this website editor takes absolutely no position being concerned solely with the "Great Game") here's a point of order regarding Michael Rivero's claim that making "illegal's", legal, would depress wages, and the economy, because as he puts it...."thirty million workers would be added to the payrolls".  The problem with that caviler thesis is that almost all of them are already working - that's why they're here - that's why they came.  Most at really crappy, nasty jobs many of the citizens in this country wouldn't even spit at, in some cases substantially below the minimum wage.  They're doing this because.... well.... hold on to your hats folks.... they're "illegal".  So....since they're already here, working for highly depressed wages, in some cases in conditions that would violate every single OSHA standard on the books, for people that model themselves after slave-holders, making the "illegals", legal, might actually improve working conditions, and perhaps even wages, for everyone else.  It's just a thought. - mpg

Financialization = Inequality
Must Read - A quote...." There are a number of factors behind the widening canyon of economic inequality, but the primary driver is financialization. Financialization has given those with capital and access to financier expertise ways to skim great wealth from the system without creating any value whatsoever. - Those with a home that is owned free and clear and $500,000+ in a 401K or retirement account have more capital than the vast majority of Americans, but members of the upper-middle class have no access to the leverage and tools of financialization. - In other words, financialization isn't a consequence of having capital: it's the consequence of having access to unlimited credit, leverage and low-risk, low-tax skimming operations (for example, tax codes enable hedge funds to declare income as low-tax long-term capital gains)." - also posted at ZeroHedge
