Western Democracy: A Farce And A Sham
Must Read - A quote...."Consider that the entire Western world is outraged that the Greek prime minister announced that he is going to permit the Greek people to decide their own fate instead of having it decided for them by a handful of banksters, politicians, and bureaucrats living it up at taxpayer expense at “talks” in the French resort of Cannes on the Mediterranean." - also posted at DProgram & GlobalRsrch & ICH & LewRockwell & Hamsayeh

Bad Moon Rising
Special Note - Charts - Graphs - (Psycho-Historical Analysis) -- A quote...."“Human history seems logical in afterthought but a mystery in forethought.” – *The Fourth Turning* – Strauss & Howe -- The above statement by historians William Strauss and Neil Howe is very significant as we try to make sense of the events unfolding before our very eyes in today’s world. On September 17, a mere six weeks ago, a few hundred young people showed up in Zucatti Park in Lower Manhattan to protest our corrupt, broken and Wall Street manipulated economic and political system. That first night, approximately 100 protestors occupied the park and were outnumbered by the NYPD in full riot gear. The idea to Occupy Wall Street began circulating on the internet in late August. The Millennial Generation used their social networks and put their tech savvy talents to work. Before long, thousands of protestors showed up in cities across the U.S. The model for this movement was the successful demonstrations in Egypt and Tunisia, earlier in the year."

It was Real Money. -- JFK's Silver Certificates were, like Greenbacks, also Real Money, the secret to prosperity -- Pay to the Bearer, On Demand, One Dollar in Silver” means that piece of paper is a letter of CREDIT and the bank has to give you a silver dollar for it, about an ounce of silver.

HR 1505: Giant Land Grab For The Police State
DHS Land Grab - A quote...."Montana Republican Congressman Denny Rehberg lent his support for ceding more power and authority to the federal government’s emerging police state by supporting HR 1505, the “National Security and Federal Lands Protection Act.” This monstrous bill empowers the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to confiscate to itself tens of thousands of acres of land across the US northern border.

Herman Cain: Nein, Nein, Nein! -- He’s a warmonger – and a liar
2012 Election Cycle - A quote...."Thanks to the Daily Caller, which has compiled the foreign policy related aspects of columns written by Cain over the years, we can get a glimpse inside the mind of Herman Cain, the warmonger. This characterization is confirmed by his comment that the "war on terrorism" is a conflict that "will be fought forever." Not even George W. Bush, nor even the most wigged-out neocon, was willing to concede that: according to the most pessimistic scenarios, the conflict was projected as taking place over an entire generation. This is considerably less than forever – but you have to give Cain points for his honesty, if nothing else."

A quote...."The Federal Reserve recently allowed Bank of America to move its massive derivative positions from the bank holding company to its banking subsidiary which is an FDIC insured depository institution.  By allowing this transfer, the Federal Reserve has allowed Bank of America to shift the risk of loss on speculative derivative contracts from the non-bank affiliate.  A failure of Bank of America could result in huge losses for the FDIC which would ultimately be passed on to the taxpayers."

The Assault On Libya..

It Doesn't Matter To Them If It's Untrue. It's a Higher Truth
Must Read - A quote...."Clinton and her partners-in-crime in NATO can also have a good laugh at how they deceived the world. The destruction of Libya, the reduction of a modern welfare state to piles of rubble, to ghost towns, the murder of thousands ... this tragedy was the culmination of a series of falsehoods spread by the Libyan rebels, the Western powers, and Qatar (through its television station, al-Jazeera) — from the declared imminence of a "bloodbath" in rebel-held Benghazi if the West didn't intervene to stories of government helicopter-gunships and airplanes spraying gunfire onto large numbers of civilians to tales of Viagra-induced mass rapes by Gaddafi's army." - also posted at Uruknet -- Topix ||  An African Base of Operations for More Terror - (By Their Actions We Shall Know Them) - 10-26-11 - mpg  ||

Muammar al Gaddhafi and Augusto C. Sandino
Must Read - A quote...."Svelte houseboy-President Obama rents out his duplicitous-bastard talents to help corrupt Western corporate elites and their allies pauperize their own peoples and plunder vulnerable countries like Libya. Obama sells his crimes as promoting democracy and prosperity. His weird-familiar Hillary Clinton and her depleted-uranium blasted-heath sisters, Samantha Power and Susan Rice, provide back up. -- These serial-child-killers try hard to outdo Bill Clinton and Madeleine Albright, who notoriously argued that 500,000 needlessly dead Iraqi children represented "a price worth paying". They work overtime to hubble-bubble, toil-and-trouble virtual pretexts for diplomatic, economic and military aggression against countries the Western political and corporate elites want to control. Once the supreme war crime is consummated, their financial, military-industrial and other corporate carpet-bagger partners move in."

New Alliance of Imperialist-Led States Plot Theft and Repression
A quote...."As a result of the war against Libya, the country lost 50 percent of its Gross Domestic Product. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) noted that Libya’s GDP was $71.3 billion in 2010, suggesting eight months of conflict cost the country’s 6.5 million people around $35 billion. Bank payment systems broke down and the country had difficulty financing imports, the IMF said in its assessment of the economic toll.” (Reuters, October 26) -- In addition to the impact of the U.S.-NATO bombing and the attacks by the NTC rebels on the ground, the capitalist states froze between $160-170 billion in Libyan assets. Other losses include the theft and destruction of government property that was orchestrated by the imperialists and their rebel allies."

Iraq had a Long Tradition as a Center of Higher Learning: How America's War Destroyed Iraq's Universities
Special Note - For The Record - A quote...."The political scientist Mark Duffield has observed that the effect of Western intervention in Iraq has actually been to “demodernize” that country.[2] This is ironic given that the military campaigns against Iraq and Afghanistan have been accompanied by narratives of the West’s obligation to modernize backward nations. Nowhere is the truth of Duffield’s observation clearer than in the story of what has happened to Iraq’s education system, especially its higher education system. Western intervention has ended up destroying Iraq’s universities, formerly among the best in the region, as functional institutions. “Up to the Early 1980s, Iraq’s educational system was considered one of the best in the Middle East. As a result of its drastic and prolonged decline since then, it is now one of the weakest,” concludes a 2008 official report.[3] " - Topix ||  The Method - 05-07-07 - mpg  ||

“Most Americans have no real understanding of the operation of the international moneylenders.”
Full quote...."Most Americans have no real understanding of the operation of the international moneylenders. The bankers want it that way. We recognize in a hazy sort of way that the Rothschilds and the Warburgs of Europe and the houses of J. P. Morgan, Kuhn, Loeb and Company, Schiff, Lehman and Rockefeller possess and control vast wealth. How they acquire this vast financial power and employ if is a mystery to most of us. -- International bankers make money by extending credit to governments. The greater the debt of the political state, the larger the interest returned to the lenders. The national banks of Europe are actually owned and controlled by private interests.” -- *Barry Goldwater*, From “With No Apologies: The Personal and Political Memoirs of United States Senator Barry M. Goldwater, 1979″

Rockefeller, Morgan, and War
A quote...."During the 1930s, the Rockefellers pushed hard for war against Japan, which they saw as competing with them vigorously for oil and rubber resources in Southeast Asia and as endangering the Rockefellers' cherished dreams of a mass "China market" for petroleum products. On the other hand, the Rockefellers took a noninterventionist position in Europe, where they had close financial ties with German firms such as I.G. Farben and Co., and very few close relations with Britain and France. -- The Morgans, in contrast, as usual deeply committed to their financial ties with Britain and France, once again plumped early for war with Germany, while their interest in the Far East had become minimal. Indeed, US ambassador to Japan Joseph C. Grew, former Morgan partner, was one of the few officials in the Roosevelt administration genuinely interested in peace with Japan."

In answering the question, Obama referred to the Attorney General’s “specific set of facts” and stated: “those facts are there for all to see.  And we would not be bringing forward a case unless we knew exactly how to support all the allegations that are contained in the indictment.” -- Even though comical, it is difficult, at least in the short run, to prove or disprove the US allegation against Iran. After all, when invading Iraq in 2003 the US government showed a set of evidence that at first was hard to disprove. It was only later that the set of evidence was shown to be fabricated."

That could clear the way for polygamy.” There is no mention of the flag or its provenance. -- This is to say, in effect, that one can wave the al-Qaeda flag in the noses of Western journalists in broad daylight in Libya, and they will either not recognize it, or if they do, not deign to inform their readers. The episode could serve as a parable for the virtual entirety of Western reporting on the Libyan war." -- Hey, they can't spot  Indian  flags either. - mpg - also posted at Uruknet

In his essay “Shooting an Elephant,” Orwell wrote, “When the white man turns tyrant, it is his own freedom that he destroys.” After having launched unprovoked wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the white man has now inflicted tyranny on Libya. -- Before finally murdering Libyan leader Col Muammar Qaddafi together with his son as they fled the town of Sirte on Oct 20, and then having put their bloodied, rotting bodies on display, the US-led Nato forces had been bombing and systematically destroying Libya for nine months with the specific objective of regime change." - also posted at Uruknet

Special Note - A quote...."I read frequently among the lesserly neuronal of the supposed honor of soldiers, of the military virtues of courage, loyalty, and uprightness – that in an age of moral decomposition only the military adhere to principles, and that our troops in places like Afghanistan nobly make sacrifices to preserve our freedoms and democracy. Is not all of this nonsense? -- Honor? A soldier is just a nationally certified hit-man, perfectly amoral. When he joins the military he agrees to kill anyone he is told to kill, regardless of whether he has previously heard of the country in which he will kill them or whether the residents pose any threat to him or his. How is this honorable? It is cause for lifelong shame. -- It is curious that so many soldiers think that they are Christians. Christianity is incompatible with military service, if any Christianity is meant that Christ would have regarded with other than repugnance."

There is a scramble for explanations why the theatre of the absurd is being enacted all over again - the ‘evil empire’, etc. Iranians themselves saw this as a clever ploy by the Obama administration to turn attention away from the ‘Wall’ protests in the US. True, the protests are not fading and the authorities have no clue how to handle protests. -- But that alone doesn’t quite explain why Obama should risk his reputation by mouthing such a bizarre story about the Iranian plot to kill the Saudi Ambassador in Washington.

Honduras Becomes Cocaine Transit Hub

Remember Honduras folks, you know, THAT country whose once democratic government the Obama Administration, with a lot of direction from Hideous Hillary, helped to overthrow.....yeah, THAT ONE!  You know, where Obama and his trolls went out and whacked another government, while all of you just stood around and could've cared less about the situation, assuming you even pulled you big fat stupid collective heads out of your TV sets to pay attention for one second?    

Well, golly -gee-weepers Honduras has now (somehow) become the "cocaine hub" of Central America and is currently exporting "a total of 20 to 25 tons [of cocaine] each month" to the US-NRE, and you know what else?

By a COMPLETE and TOTALLY AMAZING coincidence the VERY SAME administration that helped overthrow the legitimate, legal, democratic government of Honduras is the VERY SAME administration criminally involved with the Fast & Furious Fiasco! 

You know, where one Mexican gang member publicly admitted to being allowed to bring in tons of cocaine into the US!  You know, the scandal where tens of thousands of guns, sniper rifles and even grenades were given to the Mexican drug cartels. Wow, another coincidence. Who would have thunk it possible?  They just keep popping up one right after another!

So here's the conclusion this website editor has come too. 

To each and every one of you stupid, bovine, cud-chewing, Amerikans out there who've kept vapidly and mindlessly voting for the Demo-Repubs for the past FIFTY YEARS -- After Air America, after Iran Contra and the related "Crack-Cocaine Scandal", after Afghan became THE number one in Heroin shipments during the US-NRE's occupation, after Fast & Furious, after THIS particular wonderful bit of goods news for those involved with the drug trade, after all the other cases of massive political corruption that would have taken only the slightest, tiniest, cursory investigation by "our" lamentable press and corrupt insecurity complex to reveal the cess-pit that is now our government.....

...don't you DARE pretend you don't know!!  Don't you DARE -- EVER -- say with your knowing, stupid, sneering, WILLFULLY ignorant, crap-eating-grin, that "it's the Taliban, or the Iranians, or the Mexicans, or the Blacks, or the poor people....or the Martians....or Elvis.....or the Boogeyman....or Harvey The Rabbit...who's responsible for this whole situation"

Because it's NOT!!  You KNOW it's NOT!!  It's YOU, you mindless, cowardly, rotten pieces of uncaring, sniveling, know-nothing, human excrement!!

YOU --  keep -- voting -- for -- these --  people!! 

YOU -- keep -- letting -- this  -- happen!!

They were cut down in a hail of gunfire in a half-cellar room of the house in Ekaterinburg, a city in the Ural mountain region, where they were being held prisoner.

Why the latest eurozone bail-out is destined to fail within weeks
A quote...."This deal was presented as a "victory" by the eurocrats. After all, back in July those nasty private creditors agreed only to a 21pc "haircut" on their Greek debt. The deal is "voluntary", though, nothing having been decided except the "50pc haircut" headline. In reality, by bargaining hard over coupons and maturities – how much the bonds will pay annually, and for how long – those who so unwisely lent money to Greece (eager to reap high yields, while always expecting a bail-out) will get a much sweeter deal. This is the discussion that will take place, behind closed doors, during the coming months. But that sweeter deal will need to be paid for with yet more sovereign borrowing, by some eurozone government or other, plus further sack-loads of taxpayers' cash."

The comprehensive policy response, which we have been told existed, really doesn't exist. We found that out last Friday. All the lies of the past two weeks by various European governments and bureaucrats, as well as Mr. Sarkozy and Mrs. Merkel, were just more delaying tactics to attempt to find a solution to Europe's financial dilemma."

Another Eurozone Country Bites the Dust - [Cyprus]
A quote...."The country acceded to the Eurozone in 2008, but it's already in a heap of trouble. A recent loan agreement with Russia of €2.5 billion will keep it afloat for a few months into 2012. Then it's bailout and haircut time. On October 27, Standard & Poor's cut Cyprus to BBB. The big problem: exposure of its banks to Greek sovereign, corporate, and bank debt. But not a word about the title-deed scandal and the billions that evaporated with it."

China holds Europe to ransom over £62bn bailout deal
A quote...."Eurozone leaders were left sweating last night after China played down expectations that it would quickly make a much-needed cash injection to the EU bailout fund."

China's Official (Secret) Reply:  Let us make sure we understand you correctly.  You wish to borrow money from us, for the latest financial scheme of yours, which happens to be just another in a long series of financial schemes. NONE of which have worked so far and ALL of which have simply led to increasing debt for the EU's members.  On top of this we witness that Britain and France, in conjunction with the US-NRE's AFRICOM have taken the most recent additional financial "breathing room" from these various schemes to run around Africa destroying several nation states in what appears to be a new round of European colonialism. During which you have disrupted highly profitable contractual relationships we had with many African countries, totally destroyed some in others, and cost us much business.  And NOW we are supposed to lend you more money?  So you can do this all over again?" - mpg

Zio-Alert - Financial Warning - Possible Attack On Germany's financial system...??

Spent an hour trying to find out the rank-order of banks in France, their ownership structure, how many banks and media companies are "Jewish" controlled, which banks are in trouble, who contributed to Sarkozy's campaign, (besides the Gaddafi red-herring trumpeted everywhere)  etc.  Couldn't find much, but if France is going to saddle the German people, and deliberately expose Germany's Pension Funds (?!?!?!) to all this risk, SOMEBODY more competent than this website editor should start asking some questions.... and do it QUICK! - This entire "solution" STINKS just like the TARP bail-out did!!  It's like the EU's politicos are giving the bum-rush to the German people.  This could cost them....in fact it WILL cost them....trillions, possibly tens of trillions. - mpg

Who is Nicolas Sarkozy?
Sarkozy - Bio - A quote...."Sarkozy's sympathy and understanding is most probably a product of his upbringing; it is well known that Sarkozy's mother was born to the Mallah family, one of the oldest Jewish families of Salonika, Greece. Additionally, many may be surprised to learn that his yet-to-be-revealed family history involves a true and fascinating story of leadership, heroism and survival. It remains to be seen whether his personal history will affect his foreign policy and France's role in the Middle East conflict." - also posted at Reficultnias

Sarkozy - Bio - A quote...."The influential French daily Le Figaro last week revealed that the French leader once worked for -- and perhaps still does, it hinted -- Israeli intelligence as a "sayan" (Hebrew for helper), one of thousands of Jewish citizens of countries other than Israel who cooperate with "katsas," or Mossad case-officers."

The Assault On Libya..

Libya: War Without End
Quote of the Day...."A quote...."Libya will long be remembered as one of history's great crimes. For over eight months, NATO's killing machine ravaged the country, killing tens of thousands. -  Years of protracted conflict lie ahead. Libyans will keep struggling until they're free from NATO's scourge. -  UN Resolution 1973 authorized a no-fly zone. In fact, it lawlessly declared war. A prosperous, peaceful, nonbelligerent country and its way of life was destroyed. -  Civilians and non-military sites were deliberately targeted. Cold-blooded murder and mass destruction were planned. -  Sirte, a city once home to 100,000, symbolizes NATO's depravity. Terror bombing destroyed it. Thousands were massacred. -  Under international law, it's a war crime." - Source:  SteveLendman

Obama Supports Lynching Africans In Libya
Second Quote of the Day...."Barack Hussein Obama, son of an African and the first Black President in the White House has supported the lynching of untold thousands of Africans and Black Libyans by the racist para-militaries who now rule Libya. -- Bodies of black men hanging from highways. Bound and tortured bodies of Africans dumped along the roadsides. Am I talking about Libya or Louisiana? -- And all under the approving eye of the first Black President of the USA."

Libyans find more bodies in Kadhafi hometown
Some quotes...."Volunteers are still finding dozens of bodies in Moamer Kadhafi's hometown of Sirte that fell on October 20, including of Libyan civilians killed in a suspected NATO air strike." -- "Suleiman said his colleague had buried a total of more than 500 bodies since October 23 across Sirte, most of them believed to be fighters. It was unclear if other teams were doing the same work. In the centre, at the crossroads of Dubai and September 1 streets, Libyan charity Jabal al-Akhdar told AFP more than 50 bodies of civilians were found under the rubble of a several-storey building flattened in a NATO air strike. "There are more than 50 civilians under the rubble, of women, of children. It's horrible. We can't get access. It would take bulldozers," said a teary-eyed member of the charity, Mohammed Muftah."

US to Reposition in Kuwait, Expand Presence in Gulf: Report
A quote...."The United States is planning to escalate its military presence in the Gulf after it withdraws its remaining forces from Iraq by year end. US Officials and diplomats have indicated that the actions could include the repositioning of its military forces in Kuwait so that it would be able to respond to any “security collapse” in Iraq or a “military confrontation” with Iran."

Official Pentagon Translation:  We've successfully destroyed and fractured the once powerful, and once united, "nation state" of Iraq. We doubt they will ever pose a geo-economic competitive threat to Israel ever again.  However, we are going to stay in the Gulf and watch them carefully and if they should try to rejuvenate into a "nation state" again, we will initially, in concert with our Saudi Royal allies, use various Wahhabist al-CIA'da elements to disrupt any such formative attempt.  If that should fail, we will use our forces in Kuwait to massively bomb them again.  As for Iran.....Israel's largest geo-economic competitor is slated for another one of our famous "Shock and Awe" campaigns very soon.  Any excuse or pretext will do, and we are currently working in conjunction with our Israeli allies and the US-NRE's mass-media-complex, ceaselessly attempting to manufacture some right now. - mpg

A quote...."US military sources have confirmed that the Obama administration is engaged in a new war in the famine-hit Horn of Africa region. -- The disclosure in the Washington Post [1] comes only days after other prominent Western media outlets, including the New York Times and the Financial Times, carried denials from the US government that it was involved in directly supporting Kenyan forces that invaded Somalia on 16 October."

Beautiful Launch: ISS food & water blasted into space
RTVideo - Alt - (RTYuTb - 2min06sec - Oct 30, 2011) - Source:  RussiaToday -- A quote...."A Russian cargo space ship is on its way to the International Space Station. The Progress module was launched by a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan just over an hour ago. It will reach orbit in three days' time and will deliver supplies for the ISS crew. There are currently three people there -- a Russian, an American and a Japanese. They were due to have their supplies restocked in August, but a previous Progress ship was lost in a crash. That was due to a manufacturing flaw in the Soyuz rocket. The Russian space agency says it has since checked all similar engines. After the end of NASA's shuttle program in July, the Soyuz has become the sole means of getting to the ISS. The rocket is due to take three new crew members there in two weeks' time."

More Tales From the Zio-Sphere....

Blind, Naked and Clueless
A quote...."Certain people keep wanting to tell me that dealing with and getting rid of the obvious bad guys will do nothing in terms of changing things because the really bad guys, who are different from the obvious bad guys, will just use some other pinheads to do their work and that I shouldn’t be so hard on the transparently obvious bad guys who are not really bad guys but just dupes and that their definite association with every bad thing going on- all the wars and the banks and the media, publishing and you name it- is just me being deceived into thinking this is the case, when it isn’t. -- Recently a certain individual, who is a member not only of this group but a citizen of the worst country on the planet, said that there is no conspiracy among his people, that’s delusion, and that all of the really vicious neo-cons that are directly and irrefutably engaged in the usual ‘protocols behavior’* are simply misguided and the inference is that they wouldn’t even be engaged in such things, except that some really bad guys whom neither he or anyone else can definitively name, have forced them against their will to be bad guys. This is so ludicrous that it makes my head spin...." - *link added

Anat Kamm Accepts Plea Deal for 4 1/2 Year Prison Sentence
A quote...."In the closing act of a travesty foisted upon Israel by its military-intelligence apparatus and tacitly supported by a quiescent media, Anat Kamm accepted a plea deal that will force her to spend four and one half years in prison for passing secret IDF [sic] documents to Haaretz journalist, Uri Blau.  Now, Kamm becomes the Israeli version of Bradley Manning and Shamai Leibowitz, both of whom (Manning is imprisoned but not yet tried or convicted) were sentenced to jail sentences for obeying their conscience and revealing secrets that implicated their governments (or Israel in Leibowitz’s case) in acts that violated the law and drew the nation closer to war." - Source:  TikunOlam

Online Petition For Rubashkin Gains Steam
A quote...."Rubashkin was convicted on 86 counts of bank, mail and wire fraud, money laundering, plus another 72 immigration charges stemming from an immigration raid that arrested 389 of his workers as illegal aliens, including many of the Rabbis who certified Agriprocessors' products as kosher. Evidence of a crystakl meth lab were also found on the premises. -- But none of this matters, of course. Like the hue and cry that followed the conviction of Leo Franks for the murder of Mary Phagan (and which led to the creation of the ADL), Rubashkin's friends lobby for his release purely out of tribal loyalty. It is this "us first and everyone else second" attitude which underlies much of the friction in our culture which traditionally holds that all people are created equal and that no man should be above the law."

Israeli Guilty of First Organ Trafficking Case in US History
A quote...."Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, 60, confessed to three counts of acquiring human organs for transportation and one count of conspiracy in Trenton, N.J. Rosenbaum also admitted that three ailing people paid him a total of $410,000 to arrange illegal kidney transplants. He was caught in an undercover sting operation by the FBI when an agent paid him $10,000." - Topix ||  Israeli Organ Thefts  ||

British Scandal Linked to Pro-Israel Groups
A quote...."The scandal that led to the recent resignation of Britain’s high-powered defense minister has laid bare a seamy underside to the funding and influencing of politicians in the United Kingdom, and the donors of some of the country’s key pro-Israel groups appear to be near the center of the affair."
