The Israel Lobby and the Creation of an American Dictatorship
Bill S-1867 -- A quote...."In much of the limited coverage of the dangerous provision buried in the annual defense appropriations bill that would give the President the power to use the military to intern anyone — including American citizens — indefinitely, and hold them without charges or trial, anywhere in the world, including on American soil, there has been little, if any, discussion of the most likely source of the dictatorial legislation introduced by Senators Levin and McCain."

What Part of" No Person Shall Be Deprived of Life, Liberty and Property without Due Process of Law" The US Senate Does Not Understand? -- Bill S-1867 -- A quote...."Well it looks like the US Senate might have to be given Michael Badnaricks Constitution class or a joint session of congress hearing a lecture from Judge Andrew Napolitano on the bill of rights. The truth is, if this bill gets singed into law. The pendulum can swing in the other direction were even a President can have a member of congress, senators, state legislatures, governors and judges arrested who stands in the way of his agenda. Cause their political enemies to disappear. The bill they might pass depriving the right of due process can be used against the President's political enemies who hold office, Once detained, they have no legal recourse. There can be unintended consequences the politicians in Washington they never expected. No one us safe if S-1867 becomes law." - bold by website editor

Setting the Trap
Bill S-1867 -- A quote...."Buried in the annual defense appropriations bill is a provision that would give the President the power to use the military to intern anyone – including American citizens – indefinitely, and hold them without charges or trial, anywhere in the world, including on American soil. The provision essentially repeals the longstanding Posse Comitatus Act, which prevents the military from engaging in law enforcement on US territory – the greatest fear of the Founders. Approved by a Senate subcommittee in secret hearings, the provisions open the road to a military dictatorship in this country "

The End-Stage Process of Mature Fiat-Currency-Capitalism
11-30-11
mpg

If you're wondering why the "markets" (hah!) have done quite well for the last two years, but also why it's going to "get worse" for the 99 percent and the "real" economy.  Just read the articles shown below.  Here's how it works.

• The Fed hands trillions of dollars to the wealthiest one percent, directly to the TBTB's, or indirectly by effect as these no-cost, ZIRP funds, are plowed, with ever increasing leverage, into the financial "markets", stocks, bonds and commodities (also known as the "virtual economy") to pump them up.
• Markets which are now almost completely owned and controlled by the one percent.
• The Fed's monetary largess also has several other effects.....
  
• The depreciation of the dollar IF other countries do not fallow suit and print to match.
• The depreciation of the dollar relative to "real" assets.
  
• Ever greater amounts of securities (also known as securitization or paper products) to be issued to represent the real assets of the society. What is commonly referred to as financialization, dilution, or more commonly as fraud or counterfeiting
• The maintenance or growth of large asset bubbles when all these paper products are used as "loans" for debt extension, leverage or additional purchases
  
• Eventual large scale inflation when these debts are finally forgiven, or all these paper products are not treated as loans, or they're treated as actual currency
  
• Or eventual large scale deflation if the assets in the asset bubbles are marked to market, or the loans are required to be payed back, or the paper products are not treated as currency (they become worthless, lose their value, etc.)
  
• At the same time ever increasing austerity measures are applied to the US-NRE's and the EU's populations, reducing their disposable incomes and their standard of living
• Causing them to work harder, produce more, but have ever less to pay for what they produce.
• Creating more over production of goods and services.  What is commonly referred to as "overcapacity" or "inventory build".  This is also known as the standard "business cycle".  Unlike the monetary cycle this involves real goods and services.
  
• While also creating more debt for the 99 percent who are paid less and less each year
  
• Forcing them to sell what few assets they still have. (Reducing their share of the wealth pie) to make up for their loss of income
  
• Concentrating further amounts of "wealth" at the top of the financial pyramid.  What is commonly referred to as the "wealth gap", "wealth disparity", or the GINI index.
  
• Creating ever increasing deflationary pressures on the overall worldwide "real" economy
  
• Causing the Fed to hand trillions more to the wealthiest one percent, in case they might actually, (Gawd forbid!), lose some of "their"....wealth
  
• While also creating more strident calls for ever increasing amounts of austerity, wage cuts, pension reductions, etc. of the 99 percent
  
• Causing the cycle to begin another downward iteration in the "real" economy (economic contraction)
  

Keep in mind this process may not be linear. Also keep in mind this downward cycle and massive transfer of wealth to the parasites is the rapidly evolving end-stage process of mature fiat-currency-capitalism, what is known as Banksterism or Parasitical Financialization. 

It occurs in societies where the paper products produced continue to exceed the underlying, (and in the case of the US-NRE, rapidly declining) "real" assets.  It is also caused by the increasing, inflation adjusted, debt per capita imposed on each citizen that these products represent, along with the destructive cumulative effects to society of the Ten Year Economic / War Cycle the parasites use to time their investment decisions.

The concept can best be thought of as a double helix, where the real economic business cycle going forward is controlled by its counter point on the other side of the helix, the monetary economic cycle. The cycles timed, or punctuated, every ten years by war.

It has taken almost one hundred years to arrive at, or should it be said, to lever-up to, this point since the establishment of the Federal Reserve, the US-NRE's income tax system and the ten year economic / war cycle back in 1913.  At its present rate of of unraveling it will probably only take only another two to five years to complete this society's utter destitution .

Unless some sort of Jubilee or other arrangement is made to write off all these debts and paper products, (deleveraging) it appears the parasites intend to repeat the process described above until either the 99 percent have all become complete, abject, slaves....or, the one percent have all been rounded up and executed.

This seems like a pretty STUPID, self-reinforcing, highly destructive process to this website editor, but than again, this website editor isn't an economist, (thank God). - mpg

Must Read -- A quote...."The Western mainstream media falsifies the news resorting to euphemisms, half-truths and lies in the best (worst) style of George Orwell’s novel 1984. We all live in the unreal world of “Newspeak” used by the Global Power Elite to control our minds. - Man gets confused when things that happen around him and to him, or which are done in his name, cannot be properly grasped, understood or made sense of. Normally, such confusion leads to inaction. If you’re lost at night in the middle of a forest but you can still see the stars, then a bit of astronomical knowledge will at least quickly tell you which way is north. But if it’s cloudy or you’re ignorant of the constellations in starry heaven, then you might as well light up a fire and do nothing until dawn…. You’re Lost!" - also posted at DProgram

The New Authoritarianism: From Decaying Democracies to Technocratic Dictatorships and Beyond
Must Read - A quote...."The decay of democracy is evident in every sphere of politics. Corruption is all pervasive, as parties and leaders vie for financial contributions from the wealthy and powerful; congressional and executive positions have a price tag; each piece of legislation is influenced by powerful corporate “lobbies” which spend millions writing the laws and engineering their approval. Prominent influence peddlers like the US felon Jack Abramoff boast that “every congressperson has their price”. The vote of citizens counts for nothing: the politician’s campaign promises have not relation to their behavior in office. Lies and deceptions are considered “normal” in the political process. The exercise of political rights are increasingly under police surveillance and active citizens are subject to arbitrary arrest. The political elite depletes the public treasury subsidizing colonial wars and pays for their military adventures by eliminating basic social programs, public agencies and services...." - also posted at ICH & VeteransToday

I keep explaining this to people, and now it doesn't just want to dominate the Third World or the Middle East or Asia, or encircle other countries in Europe, it wants to dominate this country. And the military-industrial complex is a bunch of off-shore corporations. They run the red light cameras, they run the federalization of local police. They're just occupying America through NORTHCOM," said radio host Alex Jones on Russia Today on November 29, 2011."

The Making of a Prison Society

Fake Al Qaeda
A quote...."The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this.

2012 Election Cycle - A quote...."One thing we made the mistake of doing is not stopping the surge of John McCain four years ago. We destroyed Giuliani. Herman Cain, Rick Perry and Mit Romney are going down in flames. Thanks to the alternative media taking the lead exposing these frauds. We did not do enough to counter the surge of McCain when he was reported to be gaining momentum in New Hampshire. It was a media creation to prepare the Diebold machines to rig the election.

Surprise! Guess where the world’s most profitable banking center is…
A quote...."Between subprime debt, shaky sovereign bonds, and uncertain consumer loans, most of these banks are sitting on incalculable losses. They get around disclosing their true financial condition by using clever accounting tricks (which are completely legal thanks to government regulators). -- As such, they can go on borrowing money from the Federal Reserve at 0% and loaning it to the US government at 2%– a practice that has essentially become the banks’ core business. -- If you haven’t noticed, most banks hardly lend against anything that isn’t guaranteed by the government anymore."

Full-Spectrum Dominance and the Regime-Change Project
Must Read - A quote...."For more nearly five centuries, ever since European expansionism began c. 1492, the world order could be described as competitive imperialism:   European powers competing over colonial and economic territories. The various wars between European powers were one expression of this competition. Wars would arise periodically, when one power felt it could expand its imperial realms at the expense of another. --  A radically different world order was established after Word War 2, based on the Bretton Woods institutions  (UN, IMF, World Bank, ...), the dissolution of separate European empires, and Pax Americana. This new world system can be described as collective imperialism:   with the Pentagon acting as imperial enforcer in the 'Free World' on behalf of Western capital generally. This new global regime opened the way for the greatest growth period in history, while at the same time removing the motivation for wars among European powers. -- This paradigm shift in systems did not just happen: it was the outcome of a project."

Zelikow was instructed by the neocons in the Bush administration and the overlords in the shadow government to stick to the official version of the 9/11 attacks. -- As a storyteller and strategist, Zelikow knew what had to be done. He made sure that 9/11 eyewitnesses who saw or heard explosions near the World Trade Center site were silenced. All alternative explanations of the 9/11 events were to be erased from public memory.

At the end of his speech, the outspoken musician fired off several rounds of live ammunition, screamed, “Let’s go eat a live bear!” and then charged into the woods with the frenzied crowd following behind."

Military Detention Versus We the People
#2) -- A quote...."Congress has a deserved reputation for cluelessness. Our leaders have a habit of ignoring real crises like housing, education, mass incarceration, and climate change, while contriving distractions like the budget debate that essentially froze Washington, DC for the past year. -- In 2010, the Tea Party rejected the legitimacy of the DC debate, paving the way for the Occupy movement to do the same in 2011. And while those contrasting movements may compete on many issues, they share in common a rejection of Washington’s political establishment."

Senate Moves To Allow Military To Intern Americans Without Trial
#3) -- A quote...."The Senate is set to vote on a bill next week that would define the whole of the United States as a “battlefield” and allow the U.S. Military to arrest American citizens in their own back yard without charge or trial. -- “The Senate is going to vote on whether Congress will give this president—and every future president — the power to order the military to pick up and imprison without charge or trial civilians anywhere in the world. The power is so broad that even U.S. citizens could be swept up by the military and the military could be used far from any battlefield, even within the United States itself,” writes Chris Anders of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office."

The US Senate is About to Declare War on Freedom and the American People

Senator John McCain, Cal Levin and willing supporter Lindsey Graham who support this bill need to be recalled by their state Legislatures to see if these men are fit to hold office when not in session. Put them on house arrest until a grand jury completes its investigation, never to return to Washington. This bill gives the US Military the green light to arrest American citizens on American soil without being charged or without a trial. The right to Habeas Corpus is no more under this bill."

Treason From Within: The Road towards a Police State in America
#5) -- A quote...."There is a shocking piece of legislation working its way through Congress. A Defense Authorization bill for 2012 allows for military detentions of American citizens on American soil. These can be indefinite detentions, with no trial."

Regarding the five articles shown above:  This bill is almost a mirror image of that APIAC/Israeli Consortium, traitor to this nation and its constitution, all-around political maggot, Joe Lieberman's "Enemy Expatriation Act".  It will do the same thing.  It's Joe Lieberman's end-run around the fact he couldn't get his bill passed.  Why the people of this country allowed themselves to become slaves to a bunch of sociopathic, mercenary, parasitical, Russian Kazars who comprise less than two percent of this nation's population and who don't have a single droplet of Middle Eastern blood in their veins and who could hardly be called "Jewish", will FOREVER remain a mystery to this website editor. To everyone who supports these bills, you are not American, you are just a bunch of craven, crawling, maggots, feeding off the corpse of what was once a not-so-great nation state but which has now degenerated into some sort of sick, satanic, version of the old Roman Empire combined with a vicious, murderous, crime syndicate. - mpg  - Topix ||  Two Bills, Like Peas in a Pod  ||

Must Read - A quote...."On November 25, two days after a failed German government bond auction in which Germany was unable to sell 35% of its offerings of 10-year bonds, the German finance minister, Wolfgang Schaeuble said that Germany might retreat from its demands that the private banks that hold the troubled sovereign debt from Greece, Italy, and Spain must accept part of the cost of their bailout by writing off some of the debt. The private banks want to avoid any losses either by forcing the Greek, Italian, and Spanish governments to make good on the bonds by imposing extreme austerity on their citizens, or by having the European Central Bank print euros with which to buy the sovereign debt from the private banks. Printing money to make good on debt is contrary to the ECB’s charter and especially frightens Germans, because of the Weimar experience with hyperinflation. -- Obviously, the German government got the message from the orchestrated failed bond auction. As I wrote at the time, there is no reason for Germany, with its relatively low debt to GDP ratio compared to the troubled countries, not to be able to sell its bonds." - bold by website editor - also posted at Hamsayeh

The Mega Banks: Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, et. al. Control Europe's Political Landscape
Must Read - A quote...."In Europe each time a new player is presented we find he is a Goldman Sachs’ alumnus. Recent entries are Mario Monti “appointed” PM of Italy, Lucas Papademas “appointed” PM of Greece and Mario Dragahi “appointed” President of the European Central Bank. The banks blatantly control governments and agencies presenting us with an oligarchy, which controls most of the nations on the planet. In America politicians are bought and paid for. In Europe there is a different mind set, a shared worldview of bureaucrats, technocrats, politicians and the elite bankers of world government and domination. What has happened in this process is that Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and other mega-banking has retained power for decades. They control all the players in the field, so the outcome is always in their favor. The bankers and others in turn are paid via billions of dollars in bonuses. Banks are now bank holding companies having become that to avoid failure as brokerage firms. That is the case in the US, UK and Europe.

Website editor's note regarding the two articles shown above:  Germany should stick to their guns and tell the US-NRE and Britain's Banksters to go f-ck themselves.  They can always get backing from not only the BRICS but most of the rest of the world.

Anyone ever notice the way the Israeli government treats the Palestinians is basically the way our AIPAC/Israeli Consortium dominated government treats American citizens, and how it's steadily getting worse for both occupied peoples?  Maybe this isn't the (NRE) New Roman Empire, maybe it's actually (ZOG), the Zionist Occupied Government, or the ZOG crime syndicate of North America, or Israel's North America Colony?  All this website editor knows is that our founding fathers would cry, would literally break down in tears, and get deeply enraged, to see what the people of this nation have become. - mpg

9 Final Ways The Bankster Occupied U.S. Government Is Waging War Against America
Special Note - A quote...."There is a dictatorship of the mind and spirit in America. The official ideology of the U.S. totalitarian state is counter-terrorism and national security. All domestic and foreign crimes are justified under the umbrella of security and defense. The false flag September 11 attacks served as the catalyst that brought this totalitarian ideology into being on a world stage."

Empires Not Built For ‘Small People’, Built By ‘Small People’
Special Note - A quote...."All the meaningless words that the politicians toss at people to elicit their emotional support of war; ‘freedom’, ‘democracy’, ‘justice’, and ‘honour’ come at a very high price on the road to, and sustainment of, an empire."

The boys who cry “Holocaust”
Special Note - A quote...."We’ve been through this before. As one of the most disastrous wars in our history is coming to an inglorious end, the same neoconservative hawks who dreamed it up are agitating for a new war that would make Iraq look like the invasion of Grenada — and using the ultimate trump card in American politics to silence debate over it.  --  When hawks begin beating the drums for war in the Middle East, Israel is usually a big reason why. That was true in the run-up to the war in Iraq, and it is doubly true with the current  hysteria over Iran. Despite disingenuous claims to the contrary, the only reason the U.S. is even talking about war with Iran is Israel. As the invaluable M.J. Rosenberg, who knows the working of the Israel lobby as only a former card-carrying member can, notes, “It is impossible to find a single politician or journalist advocating war with Iran who is not a neocon or an AIPAC cutout. (They’re often both.)”"

Senate To Vote On Legislation That Allows U.S. Military to Detain Americans Without Charge or Trial
Police State & Action Alert - A quote...."While Americans enjoy the Thanksgiving weekend and join the annual running of the bulls celebration at malls and retail outlets, something sinister is taking place in Congress – and it should scare the hell out of you. -- If the President and Senate have their way, your front lawn will soon become a battlefield, and you’ll be subjected to military, not criminal, law."

Senator Lieberman Urges Google to Increase Censorship of Anti-West Blogs
Police State & Traitor Alert - A quote...."U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman sent a letter (PDF) to Google this week urging them to censor anti-West, violent jihadist content on their Blogger platform. -- The letter, formally from the Committee on Homeland Security and Foreign Affairs which Lieberman chairs, cited the blog of recent "lone wolf" terrorist patsy Jose Pimentel."

Lieberman works DIRECTLY for Israel, is a long standing Jewish member of the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium and is a traitor to this nation, it's people and the constitution of the United States. He has promoted every single piece of repressive legislation ever proposed in Congress during the last decade, (most of which were instigated by obvious false-flag events, such as the Anthrax attacks, which led to the Passage of the "Patriot Act", the Detroit Lap Bomber, which led to the TSA's, and the dual-Israeli-citizen / Ripiscan- share-holder, Michael Chartoff's "cancer gates").  He has also backed every single war that ever promoted Israel's PNAC Protocols.

The "Pimentel the Patsy" hoax has ALREADY been thoroughly discredited.  The FBI wouldn't even touch the case and said so MONTHS before Pimentel was even arrested, the NYPD "informant" supplied everything Pimentel needed to carry out the hoax including encouragement, funding, materials and ideology. Bloomberg, another stalwart Jewish member of the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium, was instrumental in pushing the publicity of the entire affair across the mass-media.  He may even have been involved in the affair much earlier than is publicly known.  To say that this is another set-up would be to state the obvious. - mpg

The government now has taken their focus off the Muslims in the middle east now turning the barrel on the American people.

See this and this.  Libertarian, free market economists agree. -- Trust is necessary for a stable economy, and fraud prosecutions are necessary to restore trust.   But – because D.C. politicians are prostitutes (pimps, technically) – the government has made it official policy not to prosecute fraud, and instead to do everything necessary to cover up for Wall Street.

The “Decent Left” and the Libya Intervention
A quote...."A Reply to Michael Bérubé  & [Juan Cole] -- Even as NATO celebrates its victory over the Gaddafi dictatorship, there is growing unease about the operation. The Libyan intervention was supposed to be a model of legality, but ended up exceeding the terms set forth in Security Council Resolution 1973, which authorized a no fly zone but not regime change. US involvement violated the War Powers Resolution. The intervention was presented as a truly international operation, but ended up being directed by Britain and France, the two main powers from the heyday of colonialism, thus adding to the unsavory appearance of the whole enterprise. The intervention was supposed to prevent a massacre in Benghazi, but ended up enabling one in Sirte, where there have been numerous executions of pro-Gaddafi loyalists. It was supposed to dissuade other tyrants from oppressing their own people, but in reality had no such effect.[1] Political repression in Syria actually increased after the intervention. The intervention has generated significant dangers to global security: The character of Western policy toward the Libyan despot – by first persuading Gaddafi to give up his nuclear weapons development program and then overthrowing him – has discouraged other countries from abandoning their own nuclear weapons programs."
