Washington Leads The World Into Lawlessness  ---  http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=30273 
Special Note - A quote...."The US government pretends to live under the rule of law, to respect human rights, and to provide freedom and democracy to citizens. Washington’s pretense and the stark reality are diametrically opposed. -- US government officials routinely criticize other governments for being undemocratic and for violating human rights. Yet, no other country except Israel sends bombs, missiles, and drones into sovereign countries to murder civilian populations. The torture prisons of Abu Gahraib, Guantanamo, and CIA secret rendition sites are the contributions of the Bush/Obama regimes to human rights.  -- Washington violates the human rights of its own citizens. Washington has suspended the civil liberties guaranteed in the US Constitution and declared its intention to detain US citizens indefinitely without due process of law.  President Obama has announced that he, at his discretion, can murder US citizens whom he regards as a threat to the US." - Source:  PaulCraigRoberts  ---  http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2012/04  /12/washington-leads-world-into-lawlessness/  ---  also posted at ICH  ---  http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article31070.htm

It's the "War OF Terror" -- the "War On Terror" is a total fake and was completely staged from day one.  The massive and accelerating decent into tyranny this nation is undergoing is a direct result of its government and its people, adamantly refusing to conduct a through investigation of 9/11, or arrest, try, convict and hang those who were involved, including those in the foreign nation state most responsible for facilitating 9/11, the state of Israel.  ---  http://www.reficultnias.org/mikesfiles/weblists/911theisraeliconnection-weblist-mpg-051610  ---  Until this nation has the courage, and the fortitude to conduct another investigation, carried out by those citizens who've already done the most to expose this government's endless lies regarding 9/11, things will only get worse. - mpg - quote and video shown below.....

For most of us, we have had it with the snake oil politicians and their ever changing sales pitch’s."

A quote...."His case is effectively a dry run for the "trial of the century" involving Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others accused of plotting the September 11 attacks. In all the cases, the US government is seeking the death penalty. The question that hangs heavy over these war crimes tribunals – or Military Commissions as they are properly known – is whether they can ever really by construed as free and fair. Is it really credible that a man who was kept in black CIA prisons for nearly four years and repeatedly subjected to inhumane and degrading punishments – as the US government admits Al Nashiri was – can get a fair hearing from a trial jury comprised of hand-picked US army officers?"

Geo-Political Note - It vanished like a desert mirage. - mpg -- Quote of the Day....(in bold) -- Within the first few months of 2011, the U.S. and its allies lost three loyal “friends”: Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, Zine el-Abbidine Ben Ali in Tunisia and Saad Hariri in Lebanon. While Mubarak and Ali were driven out of power by widespread popular uprisings, Hariri was ousted by the parliament. -- Inspired by these liberating developments, pro-democracy rebellions against autocratic rulers (and their Western backers) soon spread to other countries such as Bahrain, Yemen, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. -- As these revolutionary developments tended to politically benefit the “axis of resistance” (consisting of Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas) in the Middle East, the US-Israeli“axis of aggression”and their client states in the region mounted an all-out counterrevolutionary offensive."

To be sure, he ran over her twice."

It clearly shows Building 7 of the World Trade Center imploding straight down, as if it was a controlled demolition.  I am not an expert, but it sure looks like that to me.  I, also, ran across this video from Corbettreport.com that summarizes the entire 9/11 conspiracy in less than 5 minutes. It was done on the 9/11 ten year anniversary.  I found it very well done and factually spot on...." - A little late to the party, but everyone is always welcome anytime. - mpg

The National Labor School (ENS) reports that 4 have already been killed this year, and other trade union movements have reported additional murders (e.g., Justice for Colombia has reported 6). Such killings have made Colombia, where around 3,000 unionists have been killed since 1986, the most dangerous country in the world to be a trade unionist, and if the assassination rate this year continues as it has thus far, Colombia will most certainly retain this notorious distinction."

Amira Hass explains why Israel’s U.S. model of ethnic cleansing failed, and why ‘Jewish regime’ will ‘crumble’
  ---  http://mondoweiss.net/2012/04/amira-hass-explains-why-israels-u-s-model-of-ethnic-cleansing-failed-and-why-jewish-regime-will-crumble.html 
Special Note - A quote...."It is very common these days to hear supporters of Israel seek to justify ethnic cleansing by saying that You did it-- you Americans. Amira Hass has a fabulous piece up at Haaretz that takes on this model head on. She exposes the Israeli desire to defeat the Palestinian people, as the U.S. defeated the Native Americans, and then only have to deal with the "remnant" (a reference to Eastern European Jewry after the Holocaust). And she explains why this is not possible, and why we are now in the endgame of "the Jewish regime" because Israel did not want a two-state solution."

A quote...."Much of the flour sold in the United States has been treated with potassium bromate, which causes the flour to bulk up, strengthens the dough, and makes bread rise more rapidly. This decreases the time needed for baking (thereby reducing costs) and also allows the use of low quality flour that might otherwise be unsuitable for baking.

They wanted Saddam Hussein out, and soon he was swinging from a rope. They wanted the Taliban ousted from power, and, using overwhelming force, that was achieved rather quickly. They wanted Moammar Gaddafi's rule to come to an end, and before very long he suffered a horrible death. Jean-Bertrand Aristide was democratically elected, but this black man who didn't know his place was sent into distant exile by the United States and France in 2004. Iraq and Libya were the two most modern, educated and secular states in the Middle East; now all four of these countries could qualify as failed states. -- These are some of the examples from the past decade of how the Holy Triumvirate recognizes no higher power and believes, literally, that they can do whatever they want in the world, to whomever they want, for as long as they want, and call it whatever they want, like "humanitarian intervention".

Jeffrey Tucker recently described the similarity between the fictional games and voting. Brent Railey noted just the other day the realities of the black market springing up to provide what the state can’t, or won’t, and the futility in relying on political figures for salvation. A co-worker of mine suggested that another lesson is that when fighting one evil, it’s important not to become just as evil yourself; a lesson from later in the series. In this essay I’d like to draw attention to the allegory of the games and the modern warfare state."

ZOG Alert -- A quote...."Sheikh Raed, an Israeli citizen, came to London at the invitation of Middle East Monitor (MEMO) in June last year for a 10-day speaking tour, primarily to speak to parliamentarians at Westminster. His programme was publicised well in advance but attracted no interest from security officials, the UK Border Agency or the Home Office. Two days into the tour, the Home Office claimed that a banning order had been placed on the Sheikh, although neither he nor his representatives in Israel or the UK were given copies, and he was arrested at his hotel in London. Following an initial spell in custody, Sheikh Raed has been living in London under a curfew having opted to stay in Britain to clear his name. He has had to report to a local police station on a daily basis and restrictions were in place to prevent him from speaking in public."

The Roots of Mass State Surveillance and Police Repression - Insecure in the Security State

Must Read - A quote...."Kenneth Chamberlain, Sr. accidentally activated the button on his medical alert device in the early hours of a November morning. When he cancelled the false alert, the police showed up at his apartment in force along with an officer dressed in SWAT riot gear. Police demanded entry into Chamberlain’s apartment. He opened his apartment door a crack and told the police to leave. They insisted on entering and removed the door by its hinges and shot the unarmed former Marine Corps veteran dead within minutes of their incursion into his home, but not before taunting him for responding with “Semper fi” in answer to police taunts (“Officers, Why Do You Have Your Guns Out?” The New York Times, March 5, 2012). Ironically, Kenneth Chamberlain had spent twenty years as a corrections’ officer. He suffered from a serious heart ailment. For Kenneth Chamberlain’s innocuous mistake of activating his medical alert device, he paid with his life. At least one officer from White Plains was also heard shouting racial epithets prior to the shooting." - also posted at AlethoNews  ---  http://alethonews.wordpress.com/2012/04/06/insecure-in-the-security-state/

A quote...."We can all agree the US government is out of control. They are grabbing power and taking away personal freedoms in the name of keeping us safe. We can look back ever since the September 11th attacks and say without a reasonable doubt. This day was used as an excuse to put us on the road of tyranny. With all the attacks on the Bill of Rights. I do not care if you believe 9-11 was a false flag attack or the President knew about it before it happened. Regardless of what you believe, this is what reason the government used to expand the Police state."

No More Rule By Slogans & Brands: Public Confidence In The PR State In DC Is Collapsing - Hip Hip Hooray!
  ---  http://disquietreservations.blogspot.com/2012/04/no-more-rule-by-slogans-and-brands.html 
A quote...."The Obama brand is collapsing and nothing can save it. This was inevitable because the Obama brand is all surface and no substance. Barack Obama is a pseudo president of a propaganda state that has committed atrocities against innocent people in America and around the world. Obama's name, image, authority, and charisma were all artificially created by the mind controllers in the mass media. -- As the legendary journalist John Pilger said in April 2009, "No one knew what the new brand actually stood for." Since it stands for nothing, the Obama brand is falling into oblivion. Obama, who was sold as the defender of the rule of law and the rights of the American people, is now being exposed to be a liar and a fraud."

Painful Revelations With Mark Grant As We Edge Down The Holmesian Path

A quote...."The way the news is often presented and then digested can be mis-leading. Some event is announced and then there is the commentary on that event and it is burned into your mind as a singular and separate occurrence. This is not the correct way to envision the world. What is critically important is to consider each event as appended and tied to all other notable events so that put together; they may be considered as a whole. [a.k.a. "connecting the dots" or known more prosaically as formulating a "paradigm", "theory" or using the  "scientific method". Paradigms or theories are VERY important because they offer a person a stable template to view the world, incorporate new facts and observations, and MOST importantly, offer testable predictions.  Which is how you correct your paradigm or theory. This method of analysis and world view currently appears to be beyond the capability of ninety-five percent of this nations population.  In fact they don't even bother to try! It appears their "opinions" are automatically downloaded from input devices like TVs and radios.  These opinions NEVER reflect the facts, a stable paradigm of any sort, and worse of all they can change on a daily basis to the exact opposite of the previously held "opinion". - mpg]  This is the correct methodology for astute comprehension and then for making informed decisions.

"VF: What drew you in to the truth movement? --- FL: I became aware of the debate on the Internet but took little notice as the information seemed unreliable. Then I heard it said that the buildings fell too fast. I immediately thought I could check that for myself. I used Frame Shots software, free on the Internet, to study the collapses, one frame at a time. In the case of World Trade Center Seven - or building three - I found the collapse rate was so close to free fall that only complete severance of all columns could account for it. The videos also showed an almost exactly vertical fall. So all columns were severed simultaneously. Only explosives could do that. I have been working on 9/11 ever since."

They do not make the tides -- the tides of history come from a million different vectors: our advancing technology, our advancing worldview.

In an email sent to the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) officials, Vice President of the SES Platforms Services, Stephane Goebel, noted that the BLM has asked Press TV be immediately removed from the platform. The move is clearly part of a plot orchestrated by the West to silence the voice of the Iranian English-language channel."

A simple juxtaposition of the Arab League summit with the BRICS summit, held on the same date 29 March 2012, brings stark contrast how coordination in one part of the world is failing acutely, while on the other part the rise of BRICS in global arena is a foregone conclusion.

A quote...."First, the position that Islam is incompatible with democracy was false from the beginning, because it served imperial ambitions of the West and violated Muslims' self-perception that, not only is Islam compatible with democracy, it was one of the engines of democratic empowerment. --- Second, I argue that the West's discourse of democratisation of the Middle East is dubious because it hides how the West actually de-democratised the Middle East. My contention is that, from the 1940s onwards, democratic experiments were well in place and the West subverted them to advance its own interests. ---  Third, I explain that the Middle East was de-democratised because the West rarely saw it as a collection of people with dynamic, rich social-cultural textures. The Western power elites viewed the Middle East as no more than a region of multiple resources and strategic interests."

War Alert & False Flag Warning - A quote...."Much noise has been emanating out of Israel vis-a-vis its Iranian intentions, with some opinions suggesting an attack is imminent, while others claiming that Israel will ultimately defer to D.C., and postpone an attack, and the eventual gasoline price shock, until after the election. The truth is nobody but a few select generals, knows: in warfare surprise is the key factor, so outright flashing invasion intentions is usually an indicator of just the opposite. " - Slightly less chance of war, at least till June.  However there's a much greater chance that Israel will sink the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) now that it's on station. - For more on that issue see the video based on Michael Rivero's theory....World War III - USS Enterprise False Flag!

  ---  http://www.counterpunch.org/2012/03/23/how-long-will-stock-prices-remain-disconnected-from-reality/ 
A quote...."The economy is nowhere near a “self sustaining” recovery. Surging stock prices are not a sign of a stronger economy, but poor monetary policy. In the last 3 years, the Fed has pumped $2.3 trillion in liquidity into the financial system. As a result, stocks have skyrocketed (The Dow Jones and S&P 500 have doubled in that same time period) while the real economy has remained flat on its back. The correlation is obvious. -- The real economy is in the tank because households and consumers are still repairing from the housing bust and financial crisis which wiped out much of their home equity and retirement savings. Working people will remain constrained in their spending until they’re able to whittle their debtload down to a more manageable level. That could take years."

A quote...."I think, from a very long-term perspective, historians will one day see the '60s as the peak of American prosperity – certainly relative to the rest of the world… but perhaps even in absolute terms, even taking continued advances in technology into account. Maybe the '59 Cadillac was the bell ringing at the top of that civilizational market. -- My friend Frank Trotter, president of EverBank, was just telling me that the net worth of the median US citizen is only $6,000. That's the median, meaning that half of the people have less than that. Most people don't even have enough stashed away to buy the cheapest new car without going into debt. It used to be that people bought cars out of savings, with cash. Now they have to finance them over at least five years… or lease them – which means they never ever have even that trivial asset, but a liability in the form of a lease." - also posted at ZeroHedge  ---  http://www.zerohedge.com/news/guest-post-its-dead-man-walking-economy

Visions of violence in defense of the dollar  ---  http://tehrantimes.com/component/content/article/95305 
Must Read- A quote...."The dispute over Iran's nuclear program is nothing more than a convenient excuse for the U.S. to use threats to protect the “reserve currency” status of the dollar. Recall that Saddam announced Iraq would no longer accept dollars for oil purchases in November 2000 and the U.S.-Anglo invasion occurred in March 2003. Similarly, Iran opened its oil bourse in 2008, so it is a credit to Iranian negotiating ability that the “crisis” has not come to a head long before now." - also posted at Reficultnias  ---  http://www.reficultnias.org/mikesfiles/cachedfiles/visionsofviolenceindefenseofthedolla-yaweiler-ttimes-cached-032012

UK bows to Tel Aviv after warning it against attack on Iran

Folks, just how much proof do you need to demonstrate that the US-NRE and the UK are the bound, bought and paid for, b-tches of the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium?!?!  Just how many times, and in how many ways, regarding how many decisions, will these two colonial administrations PUBLICLY reverse themselves, no matter how embarrassing it is to do so? Just how many times does the Consortium have to say "jump" and these two traitorous governments say "how high" before you'll take action?     

When your treasuries are totally looted? (Almost done) When your nation's are reviled around the world? (Already there)  When your 'government's' credibility is totally destroyed? (WAY past the point of no return on that issue!) When the last of your sons and daughters come back home missing their limbs and their minds....or don't come back home at all?

(Coming soon)

With interest rates locked at zero percent and gradual improvements in the economic data, investors have been scouring the markets for better returns on their investments.

Will A Sitting President Finally Be Held Accountable For High Crimes and Misdemeanors?
  ---  http://www.activistpost.com/2012/03/will-sitting-president-finally-be-held.html 
Most probably not. This is most likely an election stunt. As has been pointed out by many bloggers there already is a law on the books that requires the president to get Congressional approval for "war"....it's called the Constitution of the United States.    

On the other hand some from the Repub half (and even some from the Demo half) of the Imperial Demo-Repub Party, although completely in agreement with endless wars across the planet and the murdering of millions of innocents, especially if it's done on behalf of the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium, take deep exception to having their authority to carry out mass-genocide to steal other people's resources flouted, or more importantly....publicly belittled.     

It causes their bribes....'scuse this website editor....their campaign contributions, from the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium, the Bankster Complex and the Military Industrial Complex to decline.  So there is a slight chance Obama might be sanctioned with a fig-leaf of a bill, for Leon Panetta's public effrontery. - mpg

Drunk on the blood of Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan and scores of other nations Jolie is now pushing military invasion to "help" Africa. She and her masters know full well that they are carrying out destabilization operations in the 3rd world so population can be reduced and resources stolen. We need to call a spade a spade, this is part of a new branding rollout to launch a AFRICOM take over of Africa. This constitutes a crime against humanity and Jolie is a party to it and needs to be arrested along with other globalist that are using left cover to widen globalist empire. The problem is you can't go to the UN because it is at the center of the corporate global government takeover, the people are asleep and wars are being launched against innocents in the name of a bleeding heat liberal agenda. THEY COME IN PEACE!"    

Normally this website editor doesn't post vitriolic personal attacks against individuals, especially those in the entertainment industry.  This is an exception.     

There are now tens of thousands of dead in Libya, many who died under a rain of NATO bombs which included the use of depleted uranium and possibly DIME munitions.  As of October 20th 2011, when NATO was considering ceasing air operations, they had conducted ...    


To put these statistics into perspective, Libya's population is roughly six million, the US-NRE's is 320 million  If it was the US-NRE receiving these "kinetic love bombs", we would have been subjected to 512,960 strike sorties. [320/6=53.33] [53.33*9,618=512,960].    

This campaign of conquest was planned as far back as 2007.  ---  http://www.globalresearch.ca/PrintArticle.php?articleId=26804  ---  Arming and training of the "rebels" began six months to a year before March of 2011 when hostilities basically began. During the initial outbreak of hostilities the "rebels" established a new private central bank and oil company to do "business" with their "sponsors".  To quote one observer of the situation....    


Libya's infrastructure has been devastated, the $125 billion in assets "frozen" by the allied powers has still NOT been returned yet, the billion dollars stolen from Libya's sovereign wealth fund by Goldman Sachs has not been recovered, Libya's gold is missing, it is about to be fractured into three separate states, al-CIA'da is flying their flag over Benghazi's downtown, torture, murder, and vengeance killings are continuing across the length and breadth of Libya including a campaign of ethnic cleansing against black Africans which resulted in the emptying the entire city of Tawergha.   

The British openly gloated  ---  http://www.reficultnias.org/mikesfiles/blotterminiblogs/destroyandbuildyoupayforiteitherway-mpg-reficultnias-111011  ---  that their "costs" for the Libyan campaign were cheap next to the expected windfall of upwards of $350 billion dollars they anticipated receiving in Libyan contracts.   

All of this mayhem and murder is fully consistent with the PNAC Protocols  ---  http://www.reficultnias.org/mikesfiles/weblists/911-planningguidance-weblist-mpg-040409  ---  and constitutes by anyone's reasonable definition as a "war of aggression" which is the "supreme crime" against the international community of nations states.    


Angelina Jolie's open advocacy of aggressive war against innocent civilian populations in Libya and Syria is utterly unacceptable.  Orwellian language used to mask anyone's advocacy of such murderous enterprises is utterly unacceptable and unbelievable. She is responsible for what she says and what she advocates and should be called out for what she's done and what has been done in her name as would be any of the rancorous detestable Neocons and their fellow travelers.    

This website editor was shocked by this information, and used to be a fan, although not anymore.  This website editor will never rent, pay for, or watch any movie she appears in....ever again.    

Too many people are dead because of these policies, too many people have been tortured or maimed or impoverished because of these policies, too many people in this country have compromised their values on behalf of these policies....enough is enough. - mpg

Because the drunks who run the household make it so darned easy: just keep quiet, listen politely to their ravings, and you get subsidized meals, free rent, a houseful of techno-gadgetry and nonstop entertainment--and that's not even counting the amusement value of their delusional, sloppy-drunk ramblings out by the rust-stained pool." - Source:  OfTwoMinds  ---  http://www.oftwominds.com/blogmar12/crazy-house3-12.html

Some Thoughts on Syria and Iran  ---  http://www.activistpost.com/2012/03/some-thoughts-on-syria-and-iran.html 
Some quotes...."I had a disheartening conversation with my friend a few days ago. We were discussing, as we often do, the current geo-political events that are unraveling and the subject moved onto Syria pretty quickly. I don't often watch TV, but I sat with him and watched some of the coverage pretending to be news and felt sick to my stomach; the media bandwagon is whooping and cheering its way into yet another conflict -- deja vu doesn't quite describe it." ---  "The Assad government in Syria is not smelling of roses, but this whole scenario has been carefully set in motion from its inception via the pumping of money and training of armed groups by the Western powers -- something admitted to only 2 years ago by the American Government -- to its unfortunate, seemingly inevitable, conclusion: Assad being deposed and Syria [followed by Iran perhaps?] in chaos and flames. It's pretty much the exact definition of the Hegelian Dialectic -- problem, reaction, solution. For example, if the US had not been funding armed militants in Syria, there would be no unrest and therefore no interventionist solution would be required. The US hasn't been funding the opposition in Saudi Arabia have they?"

Cynthia McKinney Tells It Like It Is A Conversation with Gary S. Corseri
  ---  http://lizzie-phelan.blogspot.com/2012/03/cynthia-mckinney-tells-it-like-it-is.html 
Transcript - A quote...."[Intro : I grew up in New York City, and have traveled and lived in different parts of the world, including about 18 years in the “Peachtree State” of Georgia. For almost as long as I lived there, I'd heard of Cynthia McKinney—the first African-American woman to represent Georgia in the U.S. House of Representatives. To be honest, a great deal that I heard from the Mainstream Media was negative, portraying Ms. McKinney as a crazy shrew, an over-the-top black radical who questioned the official story of 9/11; opposed the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan--and, recently, in Libya; opposed Israeli policies, and supported Palestinian demands for statehood. About three years ago, I heard McKinney speak at a conference at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Instead of a crazy firebrand, I heard an intelligent, measured, if passionate, presentation of why she challenged US war policies."

ECB Blows Up Europe? Creates 'Super-Immune' Elite Bonds ... Throws Credit Market into Disarray

A quote...."Investors call on ECB to play fair in sovereign credit ... Resentment at the European Central Bank's immunity from losses on Greek debt has left fund firms wondering about the strength of their creditor rights and whether they should blacklist bonds purchased during emergency sprees by the lender of last resort. By sidestepping markdowns on Greek bonds, the ECB has effectively robbed fellow senior creditors of their top rank status, investors say, forcing each to forgive a greater proportion of the debt than they might otherwise have needed to. "I think many investors believed that as they were holding the same bond as the ECB, they should therefore be considered in the same boat as the ECB," said Michael Krautzberger, head of the Euro fixed income business at BlackRock. – Reuters" - also posted at BLN  ---  http://www.blacklistednews.com/ECB_Blows_Up_Europ

President Andrew Jackson, Peter Cooper on monetary reform
  ---  http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/03/president-andrew-jackson-peter-cooper-on-monetary-reform.html 
A quote...."Monetary and credit reform is a policy objective to end transfer of trillions of the “99%’s wealth to an oligarchic “1%.” The US banking collusion only and always co-exists within a larger oligarchy with government for legal protection, and media for public propaganda. This paper presents histories in monetary reform and US government crimes in war suppressed by today’s US corporate media’s history texts and news journalism. When the oligarchy’s voice is professionally exposed as obviously and egregiously lying in omission and commission in claims of central importance of the past and present, government and corporate media loses credibility in an “emperor has no clothes” transformation. Refutation of the oligarchy’s voice with objective and independently verifiable facts, especially in light of current War Crimes and Constitutional destruction, supports our policy goal for monetary and credit reform because the public will seek alternative voices to build a brighter future. To support our goal of upgraded economic policies, we should be open to synergy with ecological and resource-based economic models, and network with Occupy."

Our "Let's Pretend" Economy: Let's Pretend Student Loans Are About Education

1. Student loans have little to do with education and everything to do with creating a new profit center for subprime-type lenders guaranteed by the Savior State.    
   
2. A college diploma's value in the real world of getting a job and earning a good salary in a post-financialization economy has been grossly oversold.    
   
3. Many people are taking out student loans just to live; the loans are essentially a form of "State funding" a.k.a. welfare that must be paid back.

The main reported cases of unrest are linked to regular attacks from Salafist bands which are of an extremely violent nature and more importantly, the Free Syrian Army. The latter counts amid its ranks numerous Qataris and Libyans, all whom have been trained in the art of urban guerilla warfare by the French army in refugee camps, which provide perfect bases from which to operate and orchestrate attacks." - also posted at AlethoNews  ---  http://alethonews.wordpress.com/2012/03/06/the-syrian-mirage/

Hillary Clinton and Middle East war crimes By Bill Van Auken
  ---  http://poorrichards-blog.blogspot.com/2012/03/hillary-clinton-and-middle-east-war.html 
A quote...."There is the definition embodied in the legislation founding the International Criminal Court, largely adopted from the charter that established the Nuremberg tribunal, which brought surviving leaders of Germany’s Nazi regime to trial after World War II. This defines such crimes as a number of acts—including murder, extermination, torture, imprisonment and enforced disappearance of persons—knowingly “committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population…” -- While Clinton would be happy to accept this definition for use against the Syrian regime, there appears to be an unwritten restriction on which individuals or governments can be said to “fit into that category.” As far as the American political and media establishment is concerned, it is fine to employ the war criminal label when describing violence employed by a regime that the United States is seeking to overthrow against “rebels” or “opportunists” that enjoy Washington’s support. -- However, when even greater violence is unleashed by the United States itself against people opposing the occupation of their country by American troops, the same category is excluded."

They used the credit cards issued in their stolen names, allowed their driver's licenses with the stolen names to be photocopied, and used public library computers to send emails back and forth using their stolen names signed to unencrypted messages about their plans to steal aircraft and crash them into buildings, then decorated their apartments with absurdly obvious props such as a crop dusting manual to the point where the whole affair reads like a low budget "B" detective movie from the 1930s. -- In short, these men did everything they could to make sure everyone knew who they were, or more to the point, who they were pretending to be."Topix ||  One of the Many Irrefutable Signs of Israel's Involvement - 06-29-11 - mpg ||  ---  http://www.reficultnias.org/mikesfiles/blotterminiblogs/oneofthemanyirrefutablesignsofisraelsinvolvement-mpg-reficultnias-062911

In the bill, Congress officially makes it illegal to trespass on the grounds of the White House, which, on the surface, seems not just harmless and necessary, but somewhat shocking that such a rule isn’t already on the books. The wording in the bill, however, extends to allow the government to go after much more than tourists that transverse the wrought iron White House fence. -- Under the act, the government is also given the power to bring charges against Americans engaged in political protest anywhere in the country." - bold by website editor

Some people with statistical backgrounds think they have uncovered UNDENIABLE evidence of voter fraud.
  ---  http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/qb9ea/reddit_can_you_debunk_this_some_people_with/ 
2012 Election Cycle - (vote fraud analysis) -- A quote...."Where we are - it appears we have statistical proof of vote flipping in the Primary. Much of the research focuses on South Carolina, but we have extremely suspicious data on most other states as well, though we need to be careful since some states are primaries and others are caucuses, which need to be kept separate, even if both end up being fraudulent. -- The basic summary.... 

1. Romney is always the only benefactor.     
2. There is evidence of vote flipping going back to the 2008 primary.     
3. The algorithm(s) being used are rather crude, often basic 1:1 flipping.     
4. Votes are often, but not always, siphoned from a single candidate, This candidate is often Ron Paul.....     
5. Romney benefits as precincts increase in size, and this increase is algorithmically 'clean' with little or no 'white noise' common to non-altered candidates.....     
6. Demographics are not at play, though this is the 'debunk' most often brought up by people new to the thread

A quote...."Australian news media has come to resemble soap opera: there are those outlets that the masses flock to, and whose content equally strives to inform as it does to advertise houses. Analysis of world politics is especially poor - there is no culture of academically rigorous public intellectuals or specialist international affairs journalists as there are in parts of Europe and the United States. As a result, world news is syndicated from other providers, or filtered through the editorial of a select few writers. -- Against this backdrop, there is currently a series of missives being fired between an Australian academic and The Australian (colloquially known as "The Oz"), Rupert Murdoch's premier national newspaper. -- The debate was sparked by politics professor Robert Manne's damning critique of Murdoch's Oz in a long-form essay entitled, "Bad News: Murdoch's Australian and the Shaping of the Nation". - It should be noted that Rupert Murdoch is a Jewish, card-carrying, war-mongering, shill of the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium. - mpg

And every move towards transparency has been fought against tooth and nail by the Fed. It took disclosure requirements enacted within the Dodd-Frank Act to get the Fed to provide data on the its emergency lending facilities. It took lawsuits filed by Bloomberg and Fox News to provide data on discount window lending during the worst parts of the financial crisis. And it will take further concerted action on the part of Congress, the media, and the public to keep up pressure on the Fed to remain transparent."

The Chinese can't possibly be idiotic enough to actually listen to Robert Zoellick suggest ways they could manage (utterly and completely ruin) their economy!  It's NOT humanly possible.  NO ONE COULD BE THAT STUPID!  Here's a small, brief, bio of him from Wikipedia....  ---  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Zoellick

• After leaving government service, Zoellick served from 1993 to 1997 as an Executive Vice President of Fannie Mae.     
• He signed the January 26, 1998 letter to President Bill Clinton from Project for a New American Century (PNAC)  ---  http://www.reficultnias.org/mikesfiles/weblists/911-planningguidance-weblist-mpg-040409  ---  that advocated for an immediate war against Iraq.     
• During 1999, Zoellick served on a panel that offered Enron executives briefings on economic and political issues.     
• In the 2000 presidential election campaign, Zoellick served as a foreign policy adviser to George W. Bush as part of a group, led by Condoleezza Rice, that called itself  the "The Vulcans.  ---  http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0527-03.htm

It also passes by major markets, the Old City, the Tomb of the Patriarchs, and Israeli settlements. -- In 1994, restrictions began. Access was alternately allowed, then denied. Since October 2000, Palestinians were entirely prohibited from walking or driving on Shuhada and adjacent streets. -- Doing so caused center city economic collapse. Over 300 shops and other commercial facilities closed. Israel turned Hebron’s central bus station into an army base. Area properties, including homes, were closed by army order. Many residents left. A ghost town remained. -- Settlers can use the street freely. They also harass Palestinians with impunity. Closing Shuhada Street reflects longstanding Israeli policy to make life so unbearable residents will give up and leave Occupied Palestine. -- Some do, but most resist courageously and won’t quit. It’s their country, their land, and they’re struggling to regain it and end decades of abusive occupation."

Although, this fact has not even remotely sunk in for millions of people who, unfortunately, have absolutely no clue how bad it can get. The real issue here, however, is not necessarily what people will have to do to survive the upcoming storms. Rather, it is what they will be forced to do to remain a functioning part of the system under threat of excessive monetary punishment, physical confinement or violence to them and/or those close to them. So, one must be financially/coercively attached to the system to be a “debt slave”."

There were assertions given about Saddam’s maintenance of weapons of mass destruction and ties to al-Qaeda. What was never said explicitly, however, was that Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11. Yet by late 2003, seventy percent of polled Americans thought Saddam Hussein was personally behind 9/11. Bush’s Republican voters were especially convinced of this. -- Yet Bush and his officials never said this. And after the multiple disasters of the Iraq war began to present themselves with great clarity, the Bush officials were questioned about their pre-war intel. Yet they could say, strictly speaking, one thing they never claimed was Saddam was behind 9/11."

So the empire-builders of today have swapped their policy of 'see, want, take', for a white charger and the ‘sword of freedom’. They no longer kill and maim to invade and enslave. No, no. Now they kill and maim to ‘protect’ those they are killing and maiming. It is still ‘see, want, take’, of course, but it is hidden behind laughable excuses based on the good guys (‘us’) protecting ‘the people’ from the ‘bad guys’ (‘them’, the demon-of-the-moment)." -- *David Ike*

Both sides, Landis and Nachar, were pro-intervention for “humanitarian” reasons.

Hague fails to address evidence that members of the opposition include Al Qaeda terrorists, that armed rebels are covertly directed by Western forces, and suspicions of CIA death squads deliberately used for destabilization."

Israel's Tri-Fecta of False Flags Fiasco - A quote...."The bombing of an Israeli embassy car in Delhi threatens India's diplomatic maneuvers between Israel and Iran, and has put India's discreetly nurtured ties with Israel since 1992 through a severe test. Those who are attracted to Israel’s depiction of Iran as a terrorist threat to world peace would do well to read historian Mark Perry’s account, revealing that Israel is recruiting, and collaborating with, terrorist groups in a secret war with Iran. That low-level conflict is spreading. Israel’s latest reaction should be seen in the light of Perry’s revelations."

2013 Budget: 'Difficult Cuts' for Americans, Jackpot for Israel  ---  http://palestinechronicle.com/view_article_details.php?id=19116 
A quote...."Speaking before students at Northern Virginia Community College on February 13, President Obama unveiled his 2013 budget request, in which he proposed "some difficult cuts that, frankly, I wouldn’t normally make if they weren't absolutely necessary. But they are." These budget cuts are unavoidable, the President argued, because "the truth is we're going to have to make some tough choices in order to put this country back on a more sustainable fiscal path." In a sad commentary on the misplaced priorities of the Obama Administration, however, these "tough choices" will affect the delivery of basic services to U.S. citizens while the Israeli military hits the jackpot at taxpayer expense." - also posted at AlethoNews

In the process MERS allowed the Banks to separate the note from the security. This allowed the securitization and bundling of millions of home loans into trade able securities. The only problem is that the MERS process destroyed the chain of title. Now 50% of the real estate in the USA does not have a clear title to determine who actually owns the real estate and who owns the note. The net result is the notes for the home loans are worthless paper."

They systematically rob investors and strip mine economies for self-enrichment. - They demand they get paid first. They hold nations hostage to assure it. They turn crises into catastrophes. - They leave mass impoverishment, high unemployment, neo-serfdom, and human wreckage in their wake. - Their Federal Reserve/ECB/IMF/World Bank/political class lackeys do their bidding. - They’re more dangerous than standing armies. They wage war by other means. They cause “demographic shrinkage, shortened life spans, emigration and capital flight,” explains Michael Hudson. - They’re a malignancy ravaging societies and humanity.

EU Funding of Homosexual Lobby with Pedophile Links Questioned
  ---  http://thenewamerican.com/world-mainmenu-26/europe-mainmenu-35/10942-eu-funding-of-homosexual-lobby-with-pedophile-links-questioned 
Related Article - Welcome....to the New Roman Empire - EU Style! - mpg -- A quote...."Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) have started to ask questions about why taxpayers in the European Union (EU) are being forced to finance a giant homosexual lobbying group with past links to organizations promoting pedophilia. Gay and lesbian activists responded to the concerns by unleashing a wave of attacks. -- Researchers using publicly available data found that the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association-Europe (ILGA) received more than two-thirds of its funding directly from taxpayers through the European Commission. When tax money provided by the Dutch government was added in, over 70 percent of the group’s funds last year came from taxpayers. The rest came from billionaire leftist George Soros and two other major donors." - bold by website editor

The Obama administration is continuing their efforts to go back on every single campaign promise and beyond all odds make themselves look even worse than the administration of George W. Bush. -- Personally, I didn’t think such a thing was possible but with the extrajudicial killing of Americans, refusal to explain why they think they can engage in such activities (multiple times, no less), the passing the radically un-American National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (NDAA), and so much more, Obama is doing a great job at proving me wrong."

The CEO was Jon Corzine, former CEO of Goldman Sachs, former US senator and governor of New Jersey. Customer money went missing in the bankruptcy, to the tune of $1.6 billion, according to the bankruptcy trustee."

As US Debt To GDP Passes 101%, The Global Debt Ponzi Enters Its Final Stages

A quote...."Today, without much fanfare, US debt to GDP hit 101% with the latest issuance of $32 billion in 2 Year Bonds. If the moment when this ratio went from double to triple digits is still fresh in readers minds, is because it is: total debt hit and surpassed the most recently revised Q4 GDP on January 30, or just three weeks ago. Said otherwise, it has taken the US 21 days to add a full percentage point to this most critical of debt sustainability ratios: but fear not, with just under $1 trillion in new debt issuance on deck in the next 9 months, we will be at 110% in no time."

Why everyone should Occupy US 1% corporate media: they lie
  ---  http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/02/why-everyone-should-occupy-us-1-corporate-media-they-lie.html 
A quote...."“We denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammeled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains.” -- *Marcus Tullius Cicero*, On Duties: The Extremes of Good and Evil,  44 BCE, translated by H. Rackham (1914).

The 10 Most Excellent Reasons to Attack Iran  ---  http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/02/the-10-most-excellent-reasons-to-attack-iran.html 
Satire - The first four.....    

1. Iran has threatened to fight back if attacked, and that’s a war crime. War crimes must be punished.    
   
2. My television says Iran has nukes. I’m sure it’s true this time. Just like with North Korea. I’m sure they’re next. We only bomb places that really truly have nukes and are in the Axis of Evil. Except Iraq, which was different.    
3. Iraq didn’t go so badly. Considering how lousy its government is, the place is better off with so many people having left or died. Really, that one couldn’t have worked out better if we’d planned it.    
4. When we threaten to cut off Iran’s oil, Iran threatens to cut off Iran’s oil, which is absolutely intolerable. What would we do without that oil? And what good is buying it if they want to sell it?

Monsanto's Bt GMO corn to be sold at Wal-Mart with no indication it is genetically modified
  ---  http://www.naturalnews.com/035029_GM_corn_Walmart_Monsanto.html 
Related Article - A quote...."(NaturalNews) Most of the genetically-modified (GM) corn products forced on American consumers today are hidden in processed foods in the form of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), corn oil, corn starch, and various other corn-based additives. But soon to be available at a Walmart near you is Monsanto's Bt sweet corn, the agri-giant's first ever GM corn product made available to consumers as whole ears right on the cob in the produce section-- and like with all other GMOs, neither Walmart nor Monsanto has any intention of labeling this new "Frankencorn." - also posted at PrisonPlanet

Israel Blames Iran for Convenient Bombing  ---  http://www.blacklistednews.com/Israel_Blames_Iran_for_Convenient_Bombing_/17940/0/0/0/Y/M.html
Israel's Tri-Fecta of False Flags Fiasco - A quote...."...it would be far more preferable if the United States could cite an Iranian provocation as justification for the airstrikes before launching them. Clearly, the more outrageous, the more deadly, and the more unprovoked the Iranian action, the better off the United States would be. Of course, it would be very difficult for the United States to goad Iran into such a provocation without the rest of the world recognizing this game, which would then undermine it. (One method that would have some possibility of success would be to ratchet up covert regime change efforts in the hope that Tehran would retaliate overtly, or even semi-overtly, which could then be portrayed as an unprovoked act of Iranian aggression.) "  --  *Brookings Institution*, US foreign policy makers in the Fortune 500 funded 2009 "Which Path to Persia?" report, pages 84-85.

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

Least likely through "friendly" or penetrated national intelligence services such as India's RAW.  - mpg

This in spite of the fact that we have veterans living on the street and children going hungry. What many people may not know is that the $1.3 BILLION the U.S. politicians give away to Egypt is merely leverage to guarantee that Egypt will not oppose Israel’s continued expansion onto Palestinian lands. In short, it is payment for Egypt to look the other way and not take a stand against Israeli aggression."

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

No. The US presidential campaign in 2012 will be an increasingly desperate affair as even wall-to-wall media coverage on which candidate has the most attractive first lady and other information deemed essential to democracy will fail to drown out the fact that the Democrat versus Republican narrative is utterly out of touch with the realities of modern society: namely the fact that the US, and by extension numerous other nations, are controlled by a small powerful and wealthy elite, and that the inequality gap between the very rich and the rest is widening into a yawning abyss."

Bush was put in office by the Supreme Court and that a number of other elections have been decided by electronic voting machines that leave no paper trail. Others note that elected officials represent the special interests that fund their campaigns and not the voters. The bailout of the banks arranged by Bush’s Treasury Secretary and former Goldman Sachs chairman, Henry Paulson, and Washington’s failure to indict any banksters for the fraud that contributed to the financial crisis, are evidence in support of the view that the US government  represents money and not the voters." - Source: PaulCraigRoberts  ---  http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2012/02/14/is-western-democracy-real-or-a-facade/

Drone Assaults on Civil Liberties  ---  http://www.emorywheel.com/detail.php?n=30685 
Quote of the Day...."....the most potent toxin in American politics, ~ is our widespread bipartisan disregard for the preservation of civil liberties. When it comes to this issue, the distinction between Democrats and Republicans blurs to the point of non-existence. While right-wing politicians have a well-established history of ignoring civil liberties, Democrats have recently become much worse. The well-deserved condemnation that the Bush administration received from Democrats regarding civil-liberties violations has proven to be simply flowery political rhetoric based on their recent actions. The left’s outrage at Bush’s policies coupled with their acceptance of Obama’s reveals undeniable hypocrisy." - also posted at ICH  ---  http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article30530.htm

New Evidence Reveals Half of Pilots Were Only Assigned to 9/11 Flights at the Last Minute
  ---  http://shoestring911.blogspot.com/2012/02/new-evidence-reveals-half-of-pilots.html 
A quote...."Thomas McGuinness, the co-pilot of American Airlines Flight 11 before it became the first plane to be hijacked in the 9/11 attacks, only assigned himself to be on the flight the afternoon before September 11, 2001, and pushed from it the original co-pilot, who had put his name down for the flight less than half an hour earlier. This new information means that, curiously, half of the pilots and co-pilots originally at the controls of the four aircraft involved in the attacks are now known to have been assigned to the doomed flights at the last minute, very shortly before September 11. Additionally, more than half of the flight attendants and many of the passengers are known to have, similarly, not originally been booked onto those flights." - also posted at DProgram

Power, I would suggest, can be defined as an authority which is imposed over or through an entity or entities, the authority and right to define and direct existence and action. Exercised through individuals, ideas, and institutions, Power can amount to a person’s right and ability to determine the course of their own life, to exercise free thought, establish their own opinions, ideas and make their own decisions, which inform their actions. This, perhaps, could be explained as ‘Personal Power,’ which I would argue is an absolute necessity and is synonymous with autonomy and independence, individuality and freedom." - also posted at BLN  ---  http://dprogram.net/2012/02/14/liberty-anarchy-property-democracy-power-andrew-gavin-marshall/

Special Note - (For how this country has been TOTALLY colonized! - mpg) -- A quote...."One Member of Congress has actually described what happened when she voted no on an AIPAC "ask." Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN) refused to support a bill (opposed by the State Department) that would have essentially banned all U.S. contacts with Palestinians. AIPAC was not pleased with her recalcitrance. -- In a letter to AIPAC executive director, Howard Kohr, McCollum described what happened next. In short, she was threatened by an AIPAC official from her district, called a terrorist supporter and warned that her behavior "would not be tolerated." In response, McCollum told AIPAC not to come near her office again until it apologized. -- McCollum was not, of course, the only legislator threatened that way. She is, however, the only one in memory who went public."

With a hang-over, extend and pretend is the only strategy that works: you can try various "magic potions" to relieve the symptoms, but the only real cure is to give the body enough time to cleanse itself of the toxins you've created and pretend to be functioning in the meantime."

  ---  http://www.blacklistednews.com/10_Things_That_Every_American_Should_Know_About_The_Federal_Reserve_/17853/0/0/0/Y/M.html 
Must Read - A quote...."What would happen if the Federal Reserve was shut down permanently?  That is a question that CNBC asked recently, but unfortunately most Americans don’t really think about the Fed much. Most Americans are content with believing that the Federal Reserve is just another stuffy government agency that sets our interest rates and that is watching out for the best interests of the American people.  But that is not the case at all.  The truth is that the Federal Reserve is a private banking cartel that has been designed to systematically destroy the value of our currency, drain the wealth of the American public and enslave the federal government to perpetually expanding debt.  During this election year, the economy is the number one issue that voters are concerned about.  But instead of endlessly blaming both political parties, the truth is that most of the blame should be placed at the feet of the Federal Reserve."
