Iraq: A Twenty Two Year Genocide - posted at ICH
Special Note - A quote...."Of the 17th January 1991 onslaught, Media Lens pointed to French diplomat Eric Rouleau who observed that Iraqis:
"… had difficulty comprehending the Allied rationale for using air power to systematically destroy or cripple Iraqi infrastructure and industry: electric power stations (92% of installed capacity destroyed), refineries (80% of production capacity), petrochemical complexes, telecommunications centers (including 135 telephone networks), bridges (more than 100), roads, highways, railroads, hundreds of locomotives and boxcars full of goods, radio and television broadcasting stations, cement plants, and factories producing aluminum, textiles, electric cables, and medical supplies."
"Further, ‘Former US Attorney-General Ramsey Clark said that: “U.S. planes flew more than 109,000 sorties, raining 88,000 tons of bombs, the equivalent of seven Hiroshimas …”" - And THAT was just the first invasion.  The second one was much, much, worse.  - mpg - For more on this issue see.... ||  The Method - 05-07-07 - mpg  ||  The Method Deux - 04-11-12 - mpg  ||

Syria – The True Story (Full Version)
Video - Alt - (YuTb - 47min38sec - 47min38sec) - Source:  docolovers -- A quote...."What are the forces at play in the world today? A question that remains unanswered by those entrusted to communicate the truth to us. - Yet we ourselves fall short from attaining it, not for lack of access, but because of fear that has obscured our vision. - This documentary is the true story behind Syria." - Topix.... 
Burn, burn - Africa's Afghanistan - Article also posted at ICH
Special Note - Some quotes...."It all started with a military coup in March 2012, only one month before Mali would hold a presidential election, ousting then president Amadou Toumani Toure. The coup plotters justified it as a response to the government's incompetence in fighting the Tuareg. -- The coup leader was one Captain Amadou Haya Sanogo, who happened to have been very cozy with the Pentagon; that included his four-month infantry officer basic training course in Fort Benning, Georgia, in 2010. Essentially, Sanogo was also groomed by AFRICOM, under a regional scheme mixing the State Department's Trans Sahara Counter Terrorism Partnership program and the Pentagon's Operation Enduring Freedom. It goes without saying that in all this "freedom" business Mali has been the proverbial "steady ally" - as in counterterrorism partner - fighting (at least in thesis) al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM)."  --  "No one in the West is asking why the Pentagon-friendly Sanogo's military coup in the capital ended up with almost two-thirds of Mali in the hands of Islamists who imposed hardcore Sharia law in Azawad - especially in Gao, Timbuktu and Kidal, a gruesome catalogue of summary executions, amputations, stonings and the destruction of holy shrines in Timbuktu. How come the latest Tuareg rebellion ended up hijacked by a few hundred hardcore Islamists? It's useless to ask the question to US drones." - bold/underline by website editor -- Must be another one ol'dem dare coincidences.  For more on this issue see....Africa - the Next Target - 02-28-08 - mpg

Clean Hands, Dirty Hands… No Hands! - posted at ICH
A quote...."January 18, 2013 "Information Clearing House" - Too many of our former leaders and their handlers have had dirty hands. This Military Industrial Empire has been responsible for most of the mess this world finds itself in. By manipulating countless countries and strangling their voices for democracy, and then placing into power murderous and greedy puppets, the blowback has been tremendous. As the Stone & Kuznick book explains, it has always been about control of resources, cheap labor and markets abroad. It has never been about freedom for others… many our own citizens have seen that Big Lie right here at home.  Sadly, the dirty hands of  our 21st Century leaders have equaled or outdone the dirty hands of their predecessors....."

Algeria, Mali, and why this week has looked like an obscene remake of earlier Western interventions - @ ICH
A quote...."January 18, 2013 "The Independent" --  Odd, isn’t it, how our “collateral damage” is different from their “collateral damage”. Speaking yesterday to an old Algerian friend in the aviation business, I asked him what he thought of his country’s raid on the In Amenas gas plant.“Brilliant operation, Robert,” he shouted down the phone. “We destroyed the terrorists!” But the innocent hostages? What about their deaths, I asked? “Poor guys,” he replied. “We had thousands of women and children killed in our war [in the 1990s] – terrible tragedy – but we are fighting terrorism.” - And there you have it. Our dead men didn’t matter in the slightest to him. And he had a point, didn’t he? For we are outraged today, not by the massacre of the innocents, but because the hostages killed by the Algerian army – along with some of their captors – were largely white, blue-eyed chaps rather than darker, brown-eyed chaps."

The Lies Of Democracy and the Language Of Deceit - Article also posted at ICH
A quote...."In an increasingly media-driven age, language is everything and is often used by officialdom to tyrannise meaning. With the deaths of millions on its hands since 1945, the US has become the world’s number one terror state. By the 1980s, former CIA man John Stockwell had put the figure at six million. As a recent article has indicated, from mass bombing in Southeast Asia to employing death squads in South America, the US military and the CIA have been directly and indirectly responsible for an updated figure of an estimated ten million deaths (1). But it’s not called mass murder these days. Ironically, the US has hijacked the word ‘terror’ to justify its brand of tyranny through a war on [of] terror."

Attack On Sovereignty - posted at ICH
A quote...."January 17, 2013 "Information Clearing House" - Those concerned about “The New World Order” speak as if the United States is coming under the control of an outside conspiratorial force. In fact, it is the US that is the New World Order. That is what the American unipolar world, about which China, Russia, and Iran complain, is all about. -- Washington has demonstrated that it has no respect for its own laws and Constitution, much less any respect for international law and the law and sovereignty of other countries. All that counts is Washington’s will as the pursuit of hegemony moves Washington closer to becoming a world dictator." - Source:  PaulCraigRoberts

In a struggle for America’s soul
A quote...."Liberals, it’s high time you do some soul-searching. Read some history, do some pondering and ask yourself basic questions such as what is and was the definition of a liberal. Is that still you and are you happy about what it is to be a liberal now? And in an ever-changing world, isn’t there room for some change in that right now? Does it make you glad to be part of a group which excludes the interests of white people, particularly poor ones, in what can only be a purposeful way? And above all, do you believe in Empire and Endless War like many of your brethren who do so tacitly because they don’t come out and endorse it? They are going along with it nevertheless. And if you support any politician who supports current war efforts, that is exactly what you are doing. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never heard that liberals were supposed to be about that kind of thing...."

More Tales From the Zio-Sphere....

Gene study settles debate over origin of European Jews
Must Read - A quote...."Jews of European origin are a mix of ancestries, with many hailing from tribes in the Caucasus who converted to Judaism and created an empire that lasted half a millennium, according to a gene study published on Thursday. - The investigation, its author says, should settle a debate that has been roiling for more than two centuries. - Jews of European descent, often called Ashkenazis, account for some 90 percent of the more than 13 million Jews in the world today."
In other words, by the Zionist's OWN racist definition, 90 percent of the Jews in the world today, aren't really Jews.  Now the REALLY funny part, is that the Palestinians, a people who have lived for thousands of years in the Levant, undoubtedly had ancestors who were Sephardic Jews (a.k.a. REAL Jews) that converted to Islam when Islamic forces swept across Palestine in 635AD. In other words, they have more "Jewish" blood in them than so-called European Jews. -- Not to mention the blood of Jesus's relatives. -- Now that's just simply hysterical. - mpg - one commentator stated.....

"In all probability many of the Palestinians alive today are distant blood relatives of the historical Jesus Christ. And the Christian Zionists, duped by the devil in the most pleasing shape, are supporting the murder of the distant blood relations of the man they claim to worship as their god. -- I can just see them on judgement day! "Hi Jesus, sorry about helping Israel whack thousands of your kinfolk; can I still get into heaven?"  -- *Michael Rivero*
Wall Street funded Nazis
A quote...."Professor Sutton wrote that "General Motors, Ford, General Electric, DuPont," and other "U.S. companies intimately involved with the development of Nazi Germany were ... controlled by the Wall Street elite," such as "the J.P. Morgan firm, the Rockefeller Chase Bank and to a lesser extent the Warburg Manhattan bank.""

"There would be no Arabic schools!"
A quote...."Greater Nazareth—the urban area including Nazareth and Nazareth Illit—enters this category. Nazareth, with over 80,000 inhabitants, is the largest city and capital of Israel's Northern District; it is also known as “the Arab capital of Israel,” since most of its denizens are Palestinians. In the New Testament, the city is described as the childhood home of Jesus. Nowadays, the Basilica of the Annunciation is the main church in the city."

A Gaza Diary
Quote of the Day....."A percussion grenade explodes. The boys, most no more than ten or eleven years old, scatter, running clumsily across the heavy sand. They descend out of sight behind a sandbank in front of me. There are no sounds of gunfire. The soldiers shoot with silencers. The bullets from the M-16 rifles tumble end over end through the children’s slight bodies. Later, in the hospital, I will see the destruction: the stomachs ripped out, the gaping holes in limbs and torsos. -- Yesterday at this spot the Israelis shot eight young men, six of whom were under the age of eighteen. One was twelve. This afternoon they kill an eleven-year-old boy, Ali Murad, and seriously wound four more, three of whom are under eighteen. Children have been shot in other conflicts I have covered—death squads gunned them down in El Salvador and Guatemala, mothers with infants were lined up and massacred in Algeria, and Serb snipers put children in their sights and watched them crumple onto the pavement in Sarajevo—but I have never before watched soldiers entice children like mice into a trap and murder them for sport."  - bold by website editor

Israeli soldiers 'shoot, critically injure' Bethlehem teen
A quote...."BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces shot a Palestinian teenager in the head on Friday during clashes in Bethlehem's Aida refugee camp, leaving him critically injured, a Ma'an reporter said."

How the media let Israel get away with murder
Israel's Old Gray Whore - Exposed - A quote...."The New York Times took the murder of Samir Awad, the fourth in the spate of Israeli willful killing of unarmed Palestinians, as an opportunity to remark on the “growing unrest” in the West Bank, bizarrely shifting culpability for the deaths onto Palestinians (“Israeli forces kill Palestinian at barrier,” 15 January 2013). - It must be noted that when 17-year-old Muhammad al-Salaymeh was slain by a border police officer in Hebron on his birthday in December 2012, The New York Times remained silent. - Reading the New York Times’ coverage of the murder of Palestinians by Israelis is an apt lesson for any aspiring spin-doctor on the language of equivocation."

Open Letter to New York Times Editors
A quote...." A personal note: I'm one of your fiercest critics. I'm certainly one of the most outspoken. My critiques are justified. I don't prepare them lightly. - I scrupulously strive for truth and full disclosure. If only Times writers, contributors and editors maintained similar standards. - You fall woefully short. I explained often in detail. I hoist you on your own petard. It gives me no joy doing it."
Stephen Lendman can speak for himself, however this website editor just loves the smell of roasted New York Times in the morning, especially their quarter over quarter, year over year declining revenues. By the way....the NYT is owned by the Jewish, Ochs-Sulzberger family, who've been card-carrying, war-mongering, fellow travelers of the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium and their thirst for endless wars and genocides, and endless American blood and treasure to spend on them, along with Israel's dreams for a mini-empire, since that criminal enterprise was established by the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.  If you pay good money for this paper, you support propaganda that will impoverish you and get Americans, and a whole bunch of other people....killed. - mpg
Praise The Lord:  AIPAC is Losing
One tiny little victory amongst tens of thousands of defeats over sixty years is nothing to celebrate, but it is a crack in the facade of the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium's aura of invincibility and more importantly, it might indicate the possible winding down of the PNAC Protocols.  Since the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium has only achieved about eighty percent of what they wanted, that would qualify as a significant victory.  Only time will tell. - mpg -- A quote...."The news that Sen. Chuck Schumer will support the Hagel nomination means that Hagel will almost certainly be confirmed as Secretary of Defense.  It does not mean that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is not opposing the appointment. It means that, at long last, it has been defeated."

Obama: Money Power's Point Man [For The Empire] - posted at ICH
Must Read - A quote...."January 18, 2013 "Information Clearing House" - Throughout his tenure, Obama's done what supporters thought impossible. He's governed to the right of George Bush. He mocks rule of law principles and other democratic values. He prioritizes wars on humanity. He's waging multiple direct and proxy ones. War on terror subterfuge disguises them. - He plans more. He's sending US special forces to 35 African countries. They already infest most others. CIA elements operate everywhere. They come to destabilize and disrupt, not help. - France attacked Mali. Obama offered support. Ravaging another another northern African country is planned. Expect others to follow. - Obama prioritizes replacing independent governments with pro-Western puppet ones. He mocks legitimate governance."

Inequality of Exceptionalism Pervades Our Culture - posted at ICH
Special Note - A quote...."If the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. were still among us, he would see President Obama as a symbol of progress toward the American ideal of equality. But he would be appalled at the administration's continuing purveyance of violence. And, as inequality is a partner to violence, he would find the symbol lacking in substance as inequality remains rampant. -- Dr. King would observe an America increasingly divided into two distinct and unequal classes: the rich and powerful, and the rest of us. He'd see bankers prospering as foreclosures increase; insurance executives reaping profits as people die for lack of health care; and the military-industrial-congressional complex advocating and perpetuating war (and enjoying the spoils) as the underclass fights, suffers, and pays the costs."

As NBC admits in the video above, four handguns were used to carry out that despicable atrocity. This directly contradicts other reports...."

You Don’t Need…
A quote...."Do you want to live in a police state?  I don’t either, but when the police are better armed than the general public, you have the basis of a police state.  I don’t want to live in a place where the police have special exemptions, where the law writes particular exemptions for the police or the government.    The law should apply to all equally, and if we don’t need ARs on the streets, then the police shouldn’t be allowed to have them, either.  The police are simply citizens with power of arrest, paid to do full-time what every citizen should do on an as-needed basis." - bold by website editor

"Hell is Truth Seen Too Late" - The Parable of the Frogs
Special Note - A quote...."What does it take to produce large-scale social change?  Most historians, if you catch them in an honest moment, will admit that the popular levers of social change, such as education or legislation, are bogus; they don’t really amount to very much.  What does make a difference–and then only potentially–is massive systemic breakdown, such as occurred in the United States in the fall of 2008.  It was the greatest market crash since 1929, leading to widespread unemployment (something like 18% of the population, in real–as opposed to official–statistics*) and the loss of billions of dollars in retirement savings.  In fact, the crash  wiped out $11.1 trillion in household wealth, and this is not counting the several trillion lost in stock market investments.  It had been many decades since the middle class found itself in soup kitchens, and yet there they were.  In the face of all this, however, very little seems to have changed."

Where Oh Where in the World....Did All That Gold Go????
(Only the NY Fed, London's "City" and Tel Aviv's Banksters know for sure.....)

The Germans don't trust Obama [Bernanke & the Fed] with their gold – and can you blame them?
The Fed is a PRIVATE BANKING CARTEL and they've been stealing the gold for decades (and appear to have stolen it all) so this is one FUBAR situation (besides the contributing US deficit) that you can't blame on Obama....yet.  But don't worry, he'll make it much worse somehow. - mpg -- A quote...."In the eyes of the Germans – and who can blame them? – America has lost its mojo to such a degree that it can no longer be trusted honour its debts, even in the unlikely event that it were financially capable of doing so. Which is why, following in the footsteps of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez (who may be an idiot but is definitely no fool), Germany is repatriatriating its gold from the US federal reserve. It will now be stored in Frankfurt."

Germany's Gold Repatriation Unlikely To Assuage Public Concerns
A quote...."Whether the repatriation of only some 20% of Germany's gold reserves from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Banque of Paris back to Frankfurt manages to allay German concerns remains in question. - Especially given that the transfer from the Federal Reserve is set to take place slowly over a seven year period and will only be completed in 2020. - The German Precious Metals Association and Germany's ‘Repatriate Our Gold’ campaign said that the move by the Bundesbank did not negate the need for a full audit of Germany's gold." -- Which the Fed has already, firmly, refused. - mpg

James Turk - Germany's Gold Is Being Held Hostage
A quote...."You can do what France did back in the 1960s.... -- “You send over a couple of ships and bring the gold back to your country that way. -- When Charles de Gaulle asked for his gold out of the Federal Reserve, it didn’t take 7 years. He got it right away. But back then the gold was in the Federal Reserve because it wasn’t going out in the leasing and lending program that governments have been using in recent years in order to keep the gold price suppressed." - It's ALL GONE.  Everyone knows that now, the only question is what are the 35 countries who thought they had their gold at the NY Fed going to do now? - mpg

A new Gold Standard is being born
A quote...."The world is moving step by step towards a de facto Gold Standard, without any meetings of G20 leaders to announce the idea or bless the project. - Some readers will already have seen the GFMS Gold Survey for 2012 which reported that central banks around the world bought more bullion last year in terms of tonnage than at any time in almost half a century. - They added a net 536 tonnes in 2012 as they diversified fresh reserves away from the four fiat suspects: dollar, euro, sterling, and yen."

Robbing Peter Mali To Pay Paul Germany
Contains Videos - A quote...."Mali is one of the world's largest gold producers. Together with neighboring Ghana they account for 7-8% of world gold output. That makes them a rich prize for nations desperate for real physical gold. So, even as Germany started demanding their gold back from the Bank of France and the New York Federal Reserve, France (aided by the US) decided to invade Mali to fight "Islamists" working for "Al Qaeda.""

Today we conduct the same analysis for the other big two commercial banks: Wells Fargo and JPMorgan (we ignore Citi as it is still a partially nationalized disaster). The results are presented below, together with a rather stunning observation."

Biggest Philly Fed Miss In 7 Months Ignored As Fed Injects Reserves Via Repo
A quote...."A month ago we mocked the Philly Fed number which printed at an outlier level of 8.1, slamming expectations of a negative print, and sending algos into overbuydrive. A week ago we were validated when the annual revision brought that number down from 8.1 to 4.6. Today we get confirmation that the December print was a total farce, with a January Philly Fed print which is once again solidly in negative territory, or -5.8, which just happens to be the biggest miss to expectations of 5.6 in seven months."

Intel profit sinks 27% on dreadful PC sales

Britain's banks may now be forced to raise large amounts of capital in a short time to ensure they remain solvent, Bank of England (BoE) officials said."

As Germany Prepares 2 Repatriate Its Gold, We Hope They Have Learned From The Monetary Sins Of The Past
Related Article - A quote...."As initially reported here yesterday, in what is the biggest news of the week, and possibly the year, the Bundesbank has broken away from its "all is well" posturing exhibited as recently as three months ago, and in a dramatic reversal of its diplomatic position, has demanded repatriation of some of its NY Fed and all of its Paris-domiciled gold. We applaud Herr Wiedmann for this move, although we hope that the German people are allowed to witness, and verify, the arrival of the actual gold as opposed to simply empty crates. Of course, at the end of the day the actual delivery is irrelevant: what matters is this [is a] first shot across the bow of the current monetary system - one which juxtaposes sound money versus infinitely dilutable electronic fiat more than ever before - by a major conservative central bank, one in possession of the second largest official gold reserve, second only to the Fed itself." - bold by website editor

It Will Take The Fed Seven Years To Deliver 300 Tons Of German Gold
A quote...."....the biggest news of the day comes from the official Buba announcement that, in its official capacity as a prudent central bank, it - as first of many - is looking to repatriate some 300 tons of gold from the New York Fed. That, however, is not today's news - that was Monday's news. -- What is news is that courtesy of the supplied calendar of events in the Buba statement, it will take the Fed some seven years to procure Germany's 300 tons of gold. This is the same Fed that, in its own words, holds some "216 million troy ounces of gold" or some 6720 tons, in its vault 80 feet below ground level." - For more on this issue see some selected comments from ZeroHedge's readers shown below....

In the second half of the show, Max Keiser talks to Nick Dunbar, author of The Devil's Derivatives and Inventing Money and journalist at Bloomberg, about the Escher painting that is the global derivatives market where bankers are trading an option on an option that is a bet upon a bet upon a bet on a bet on a bet upon which there may be no collateral."

R.I.P. Retirement: 28% of Americans are Raiding Their 401k Plans

U.S. CEOs push plan to raise retirement age to 70, privatize Medicare
A quote...."16 Jan 2013 An influential group of business CEOs is pushing a plan to gradually increase the full retirement age to 70 for both Social Security and Medicare and to partially privatize the health insurance program for older Americans. The Business Roundtable's plan would protect those 55 and older from cuts but younger workers would face significant changes. The plan unveiled Wednesday would result in smaller annual benefit increases for all Social Security recipients. Initial benefits for wealthy retirees would also be smaller.

And, as everyone now knows (since pretty much everyone was opposed to TARP), Congress handed over the $700 billion, from U.S. taxpayers, to Paulson, supposedly en route to a window where this unprecedented hangar of cash would be swapped for toxic assets. - Well, it all worked out for the best, right?

Matt Taibbi & William Black on Bailout Secrets & How New Foreclosure Deal Spares Banks from Justice
DNVideo - A quote...."Four years after the massive bailout that rescued Wall Street, we look at the state of the financial sector with Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi and former financial regulator William Black. In a new article for Rolling Stone, Taibbi argues the government did not just bail out Wall Street, but also lied on the financial sector’s behalf, calling unhealthy banks healthy and helping banks cover up how much aid they were getting. The government’s approach to the banks came under new scrutiny this week after it reached an $8.5 billion settlement for improprieties in the wrongful foreclosures on millions of American homeowners, including flawed paperwork, robo-signing and wrongly modified loans. The settlement will end an independent review of all foreclosures, meaning the banks could be avoiding billions of dollars in further penalties, in addition to criminal prosecution.

For obvious reasons, the rhetoric that the west is not at war with the Islamic world grows increasingly hollow with each new expansion of this militarism. But within this new massive bombing campaign, one finds most of the vital lessons about western intervention that, typically, are steadfastly ignored." - Source: TheGuardian
