Russia Under Attack — Paul Craig Roberts
Must Read - Quote of the Day...."In a number of my articles I have explained that the Soviet Union served as a constraint on US power. The Soviet collapse unleashed the neoconservative drive for US world hegemony. Russia under Putin, China, and Iran are the only constraints on the neoconservative agenda. -- Russia’s nuclear missiles and military technology make Russia the strongest military obstacle to US hegemony. To neutralize Russia, Washington broke the Reagan-Gorbachev agreements and expanded NATO into former constituent parts of the Soviet Empire and now intends to bring former constituent parts of Russia herself–Georgia and Ukraine–into NATO. Washington withdrew from the treaty that banned anti-ballistic missiles and has established anti-ballistic missile bases on Russia’s frontier. Washington changed its nuclear war doctrine to permit nuclear first strike. -- All of this is aimed at degrading Russia’s deterrent, thereby reducing the ability of Russia to resist Washington’s will." - Source:  PaulCraigRoberts - Topix  ||  Bolshevik Communism - Def.  ||  Kazarians - Def.  ||  Who Won? -- Or, How To Keep Score - 09-16-2013 - mpg  ||

The Zionist War Against Ukraine: Liberate the Discourse Part 1
Must Listen TUTVideo - (TUTYuTb - 1hr16min35sec - Feb 1, 2014) - Source:  ravenise005 -- A quote...."In a must-listen program, the one and only Jonathan Azaziah navigates the minefield of European nationalism, WW2 revisionism, anti-Jewish-supremacism, anti-Zionism, cultural imperialism, how they all interlock and why understanding their interconnectedness is integral to taking our struggle to the next level. You will not hear this kind of analysis anywhere else"

Regarding Jonathan Azaziah's comments on Hitler, it must be understood that the moment Hitler invaded Poland, past the Polish corridor and the city of Danzig....tempted, lured, manipulated or part of his "master plan", he was no longer the unifier of the German people, or a nationalist, instead he became an empire building aggressor and so did his nation.  The aggressor is always at fault, the aggressor is always wrong, and his aggression initiated a war which caused the needless deaths of fifty million people. There is no excuse for that. - mpg

Caught Red-Handed - Secret Tape Reveals US-backed Plot to Topple Ukraine's Democratically-Elected President - (Got THAT folks?  Democratically elected! - mpg) -- A quote...."Washington is at it again, up to its old tricks. You’d think that after the Afghanistan and Iraq fiascos someone on the policymaking team would tell the fantasists to dial-it-down a bit. But, no. The Obama claque is just as eager to try their hand at regime change as their predecessors, the Bushies. This time the bullseye is on Ukraine, the home of the failed Orange Revolution, where US NGOs fomented a populist coup that brought down the government and paved the way for years of social instability, economic hardship and, eventually, a stronger alliance with Moscow. -- That sure worked out well, didn’t it? One can only wonder what Obama has in mind for an encore."

Will US-sponsored terrorists try to sabotage the Sochi Olympics?
A quote...."Russia’s enemies, the US and its satellites, would be only too delighted if a terrorist attack should create chaos at the Sochi Olympics. What are the chances of such an attack occurring?"

US/UN [The Trinity of Evil + Britain + France] Fears Assad Win in a Free Syrian Election? - Posted at ICH
A quote...."February 13 2014 "Information Clearing House - "Ron Paul Institute" -  Every now and then we have a chance to peek through a tiny window to see how "diplomacy" is done behind closed doors. Last week the leaked conversation between US diplomats plotting the overthrow of Ukraine's government was one such dramatic moment. -- Another came yesterday, in an interview with Iran's Ambassador to Lebanon, Ghazanfar Roknabadi, which appeared in the respected Lebanese Daily Star newspaper. In a sweeping interview, the Ambassador discussed the recent bombing of the Iranian embassy in Beirut and the regional threat of the growing number of jihadist groups in Syria. -- Then he let loose with this bombshell. Roknabadi told the Daily Star that the Iranian government had been under pressure to convince Syrian president Bashar al-Assad not to run again for president. As Syria's only regional ally, Iran presumably has a good deal of influence with the Assad government." -- bold by website editor - Source....RonPaulInstitute

Takfiri [i.e. Wahhabist] terrorists strangulate Syrian girl in public
Contains Video - A quote...."A grisly video has emerged showing Takfiri terrorists operating in Syria strangulating a young girl in public. - In the video, a Takfiri hooded executioner strangulates the young girl to death using a piece of metal wire in an unidentified location. - The girl has been put to death because of her refusal to recognize the rigid-minded beliefs promoted by Takfiri groups in Syria."

Another wonderful M2P moment, planned, supported and brought to you by the EXACT same Amerikan Neo-Liberals who demeaned and denigrated the Sochi Olympics because the  Russians wouldn't allow the promotion of homo-sexual education for their children.  This is one sick country. - mpg

Takfiri terrorists strangulate Syrian girl in public
Must Read -- (Because of its power, and truth, and this website editor's wholehearted agreement of the views expressed by the author, this essay is printed in its entirety. - mpg)

Full quote...."[Editors Note:  Some may think of this is an inappropriate Valentines satire but it is not. The world has grown numb to these kinds of atrocities, be they experimenting with white phosphorous on Gazans by 'the only Democracy in the Middle East' say the Israelis, or this girl young standing up these Western supported Takfiris.

But that has in effect given a free recruitment pass for more snuff artitists like the strangler above.

Have you heard of a single family denouncing or even disinheriting a son who has gone to fight with Al Nusra or the Takfiris? Has John 'Takfiri' McCain been accosted with rotten tomatoes and eggs at his Arizona town hall meetings?

Has anyone at the State Dept. of the Pentagon committed suicide over having been part of the political or logistical support for America's new proxy terrorist army? For those who think this is a far away thing that has nothing to do with your life, mark my words....it does.

I am not going to go biblical on you with the 'reap what you sow' head trip number...but the thought does come to mind. Speaking of that, another thought...has a single Christian Zionist committed suicide or even show public remorse for the crimes against humanity that the CZ's have supported in the Holy land, as long as they feel they are getting closer to their space ship ride to the Pearly Gates?

Not a single drone strike has gone in on any of these Takfiris. There has not even been any talk of such a thing.  While this slaughter is going on, the West is using it as a destabilization demonstration of what will happen to anyone in the 'in between zone' that does not play ball with them.

We need a major political revolution folks, and the sooner the better. The clock is ticking and we see the moves now, slowly...but steady...to criminalize dissent.

'They' know it is just a matter of timebefore we come after them and they want law abiding citizens to watch with unconcern as someone else's freedom of thought is strangled, because that is okay...as long is it is not you... Jim W. Dean.]

Looting Syria's Archaeological Treasures - Destruction of the Idols
A quote...."Islamic fundamentalists in Syria have started to destroy archaeological treasures such as Byzantine mosaics and Greek and Roman statues because their portrayal of human beings is contrary to their religious beliefs. The systematic destruction of antiquities may be the worst disaster to ancient monuments since the Taliban in Afghanistan dynamited the giant statues of Buddha at Bamiyan in 2001 for similar ideological reasons. -- In mid-January the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis), an al-Qa’ida-type movement controlling much of north-east Syria, blew up and destroyed a sixth-century Byzantine mosaic near the city of Raqqa on the Euphrates. The official head of antiquities for Raqqa province, who has fled to Damascus and does not want his name published, told The Independent: “It happened between 12 and 15 days ago. A Turkish businessman had come to Raqqa to try to buy the mosaic. This alerted them [Isis] to its existence and they came and blew it up. It is completely lost.” - Topix ||  The Method - 05-07-07 - mpg  ||

The Corporate Media’s Dubious Syria Coverage
A quote...."In July 2012 UK journalist Charlie Skelton reported that Western news outlets remain willing accomplices in a propaganda campaign being carried out by public relations practitioners. According to Skelton, “the spokespeople, the ‘experts on Syria’, the ‘democracy activists’ … The people who ‘urge’ and ‘warn’ and ‘call for action’” against the Assad regime are themselves part of a sophisticated and well-heeled propaganda campaign to allow NATO forces to give Syria the same medicine administered to Libya in 2011. “They’re selling the idea of military intervention and regime change,” Skelton reports...."

"....and the mainstream news is hungry to buy. Many of the “activists” and spokespeople representing the Syrian opposition are closely (and in many cases financially) interlinked with the US and London – the very people who would be doing the intervening. Which means information and statistics from these sources isn’t necessarily pure news – it’s a sales pitch, a PR campaign.[1]" - Topix ||  US SoT - Al CIA'da In Syria  ||

Syrian opposition will not meet with gov't delegation in Geneva Friday

It was the Syrian opposition that canceled the meeting!  So no matter how the lying, presstituting, AIPAC/Israeli controlled shills in this country, the NYT, WaPo, LATimes, FOX, etc try to latter spin and frame it, just remember it was their foreign terrorist Wahhabist lackeys who refused to negotiate. - mpg

Israel is Attempting to use the Syrian Conflict to Annex Syria’s Golan
Naturally, it was all part of the PNAC Protocols from the beginning - mpg - A quote...."The Foreign and Expatriates Ministry on Wednesday sent two identical letters to the UN Secretary General and the President of the UN Security Council saying that on January 31st , 2014 while visiting the occupied Syrian Golan, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman made statements which embody an insolent approach to the events in Syria and recklessness with the relevant UN resolutions on ending the Israeli occupation of the Syrian Golan and all occupied Arab lands since 1967."

Related Article - A quote...."Once again we see the organized Jewish community demanding political correctness and obedient, slavish acceptance of their false, artificially manufactured version of WWII, as if the people of France are incapable of thinking for themselves. - This is typical Jewish behavior: the Jews are always behind tyrannical anti-free speech, anti-free thought measures.

Who’s ‘Godless’ now? Russia says it’s the Zionist controlled Western Nations ~Washington Times
(This is also a good political analysis. - mpg) -- A quote...."MOSCOW — At the height of the Cold War, it was common for American conservatives to label the officially atheist Soviet Union a “godless nation.” - More than two decades on, history has come full circle, as the Kremlin and its allies in the Russian Orthodox Church hurl the same allegation at the West. - “Many Euro-Atlantic countries have moved away from their roots, including Christian values,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a recent keynote speech. “Policies are being pursued that place on the same level a multi-child family and a same-sex partnership, a faith in God and a belief in Satan. This is the path to degradation.”"

More International Tales From the Declining Neo-Roman ZOG Controlled Empire....

'Good' and 'Bad' War - and the Struggle of Memory Against Forgetting - Posted at ICH
Must Read - A quote...."February 13 2014 "Information Clearing House -  Historians, like journalists, play their most honourable role when they myth-bust. Eduardo Galeano's 'The Open Veins of Latin America' (1971) achieved this for the people of a continent whose historical memory was colonised and mutated by the dominance of the United States. --  The "good" world war of 1939-45 provides a bottomless ethical bath in which the west's "peacetime" conquests are cleansed. De-mystifying historical investigation stands in the way. Richard Overy's '1939: the countdown to war' (2009) is a devastating explanation of why that cataclysm was not inevitable. --  We need such smokescreen-clearing now more than ever. The powerful would like us to believe that the likes of Thompson, Zinn and Galeano are no longer necessary: that we live, as Time magazine put it, "in an eternal present", in which reflection is limited to Facebook and historical narrative is the preserve of Hollywood. This is a confidence trick. In 'Nineteen Eighty-Four', George Orwell wrote: "Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past."" - Source:  TheNewStatesman

More "Democracy Promotion" In Libya
A quote...."The CIA's (and the Saudi's) main asset in Libya, the anti-Ghaddafi general Khalifa Haftar, is staging a coup against the somewhat elected puppet government in Libya...."

"A Libyan military commander on Friday called for the suspension of the interim parliament and the formation of a presidential committee to govern until new elections are held...."The national command of the Libyan army is declaring a movement for the new road map," Haftar said in a statement in which he said the armed forces were calling for the country to be "rescued" from its upheaval."

"Of course no one in Washington will, like in the case of Eygpt, actually call this a "coup". This is another fine moment of U.S. sponsored "democracy promotion."

Kenya’s National Security Advisory Committee Accuses USAID of Scheming to Topple Government
US-NRE BUSTED -- A quote...."The National Security Advisory Committee (NSAC) wants the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to summon officials from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to give information over what it terms as “plans to topple the government using activists.” - According to NSAC Chairman Francis Kimemia, the committee has credible information detailing how the US donor agency has consistently funded demonstrations by activists. - Kimemia said that the organisation has used individuals including a defrocked pastor to slander parliamentarians." - One commentator stated.....

"(Sigh) Instead of funding "regime change" around the world in places like the Ukraine, Venezuela, and, Kenya, the US government would do far better for We the People by effectively tackling problems here at home, such as our Vets sleeping in our streets; homelessness due to outsourcing/offshoring of jobs; and the crumbling of our infrastructure. -- Unfortunately, however, the morally and fiscally bankrupt US government believes that its first responsibility is expropriating the resources of other countries to which it has absolutely no moral right to prop up its crumbling finances for just one more day, or week.There is utterly no clear, long-term planning going on whatsoever." -- *Michael Rivero*

The risk of reporting US drone strikes
Killing The Messenger -- A quote...."The disturbing phone call came after Baraa Shiban investigated a drone strike on a wedding party that killed 12 people in central Yemen in December. A clear message was delivered to the human rights researcher over the phone after a major news network reported the story based on his research. -- "The caller refused to identify himself and threatened my life if I continued my investigation of the strike," Shiban told Al Jazeera, noting he conducted similar studies of US drone operations in the past, but had never before received death threats." - See related articles, previously posted, shown below....

• Father of Drone Victim Kidnapped by Pakistani Police
• Pakistani anti-drone activist kidnapped just days before his scheduled European testimony
• Pakistani anti-drone activist 'interrogated and tortured' - Update 
  

- One commentator stated....

"Reprieve is a very well-respected human rights organization. - The fact that this man was threatened means that he was closing in on the truth, which is about as ugly as it can get. - These drone strikes continue to kill and maim innocent people. The level of anger that the Yemenite people against the government of the US has to be palpable, these 12 years on, as well as against their own government for allowing this to continue to happen. - And as the late President Kennedy stated: "When peaceful revolution is impossible, violent revolution is inevitable." - The US foreign policy on Yemen is pig-headedly, ham-fistedly counterproductive, and it is almost as though this Administration wants to create even more insurgency rather than calming it down. - The US government should be taking measured steps to help the Yemenite government reduce poverty, and corruption, and make itself look, for once, like the "good guy" in Middle Eastern. - Of course, such steps, as I have outlined many times before...would be logical." -- *Michael Rivero*

The US’s Long and Sordid History of Persecuting Journalists
A quote...."Did anyone really not expect this? Reporters Without Borders docks the United States 14 places versus last year — from 32nd to 46th worldwide — in its 2014 World Press Freedom Index. -- Citing the Obama administration’s abuse of the Espionage Act to harass journalists and sources, the imprisonment of US Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning, threats of arrest and even assassination of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, harassment of journalists assisting him in informing the public and a threatened 105 years in prison for journalist Barrett Brown for posting a link on a web site, RWB designates the US one of two “New World giant setting a bad example” (the other is Brazil). -- These criticisms are reasonable and just, but RWB is mistaken in asserting that the US “for a long time was the embodiment of an established democracy where civil liberties reign supreme.” In fact, the US government has a long and sordid record of persecuting journalists, dating back nearly to its founding."

US secretary of state’s new round of bullying in Beijing
A quote...."As part of his tour of Asia, US Secretary of State John Kerry yesterday met with Chinese leaders in Beijing in a new round of bullying designed to pressure China to toe the US line in Asia.

The Killing of Osama bin Laden was an “American Hoax”
From the History File - Posted on GR in September 2013 -- A quote...."By readers’ request, this is a reposting of a translation of a Pakistani National TV interview with an eyewitness to the alleged SEAL Team Six attack that allegedly killed Osama bin Laden. I made the translation available two years ago in an article prior to the creation of this website. -- Before you believe “your” government’s lies about Syria, remember “your” government’s lies about Saddam Hussein’s “weapons of mass destruction.” Remember Washington’s lies about the Gulf of Tonkin that unleashed the Vietnam war. Remember the lies about Gaddafi and Libya. Remember  the lies about 9/11, the lies about the murders of JFK, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King. Remember the Northwoods Project that the Joint Chiefs of Staff wanted President John F. Kennedy to embrace."

The Corporate Global Banking Elite v Humanity
A quote...."Let’s make one thing clear right from the outset.  If you are an unquestioning, system-serving economist; a politician or supporter of the ridiculous and completely contrived Left-Centre-Right political spectrum; or a professional in high finance or corporate law, you are probably not going to feel too comfortable at all reading this article.  But if you are just an ordinary decent human-being fed up with being ripped off by greedy debt-creating bankers and deceitful self-seeking politicians, prepare to be truly heartened, enlightened and empowered!"

10 Great Financial Collapses in History
Must Read - (Highly entertaining, a good read....) - A quote...."Apparently we’ve been living in some horrific financial crisis for over a year now, and the news simply won’t let you forget about it. You would almost think it was the end of the world, as if this kind of thing is unique to our times and to modern economies, and that it’s a problem nobody has had to deal with before. But history, as always, has something to say about the matter. Plenty of countries have gotten into a sticky situation with their accounts before, and in some of these cases empires have risen, and fallen in no small part due to bad treatment of the books. People have starved, people have gotten rich, and no small number lost their heads."

They have relentlessly violated the Constitution, which makes these five, who are in charge of US intelligence and black operations, traitors to the United States. Yet, they have not been arrested and put on trial.

Global Warming Falsity - (Part I) - (Part II)
AJVideo - (AJYuTb - 6min42sec - Feb 13, 2014) - Source:  TheAlexJonesChannel -- Alex Jones discusses the ridiculous, completely idiotic, totally over the top...."Climate Change Cult".

Let's cover it again shall we.....

No one denies, or even questions, that the climate changes....OK!  Because it does...OK!!  Everyone knows that....OK!!  It has since this planet contracted out of stellar dust five billion years ago and it will continue to do so till the sun expands into a red giant star five billion years from now and leaves the earth a burned out cinder....OK!!  So SHUT-UP about "climate change" all you stupid, retarded, dumb, utterly idiotic, completely moronic "Climate Chang Cultists" out there!!

Since everyone knows the climate changes, there is also no such thing as a "climate change denier" either.  So SHUT-UP about "climate change deniers"....OK!! 

What there are, are people who question the theory that carbon dioxide gas released by human activity will build-up over time in the Earth's atmosphere and cause temperatures to increase in both the atmosphere and oceans.  You can call it the "Atmospheric/Oceanic Carbon Dioxide Warming Theory" if you want to be accurate.

So, to all you utterly retarded, deceitfully deceptive, deliberately disingenuous, dangerously deluded, "Climate Change Cultists" out there -- Just SHUT-UP about the the term "climate change", don't use it, don't speak it, don't even think it, it's meaningless, everyone knows it changes, it's not some sort of secret, it's not a new theory, it's not like people don't know already, people have known the climate changes for centuries. 

In fact it's not even a theory, it's a tautology, water is wet, yes it is.  Snow is cold, yes it is.  The wind blows, yes it does. The sun shines, yes....it certainly does shine. The climate changes....yes...we know....that....already....please....shut-up....about it.

Don't  use the term  climate change denier" either because they simply don't exist!  Got it all you Climate Change Cultists out there?? - mpg

Guest Post: 20 Signs That The Global Economic Crisis Is Starting To Catch Fire
Must Read - A quote...."If you have been waiting for the "global economic crisis" to begin, just open up your eyes and look around.  I know that most Americans tend to ignore what happens in the rest of the world because they consider it to be "irrelevant" to their daily lives, but the truth is that the massive economic problems that are currently sweeping across Europe, Asia and South America are going to be affecting all of us here in the U.S. very soon."

The World Continued To Steadily March Down A Self-destructive Path Toward Oblivion
A quote...."Check Out How Banks Have Slashed GDP Estimates In The Past Few Days -- Following the release of worse-than-expected retail sales data this morning, market economists are slashing tracking estimates for GDP growth in both the fourth quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014. -- “Alongside the weaker-than-expected print in January, downward revisions to core retail sales growth in December (to 0.1% month-over-month from 0.7%) and November (to 0.1% from 0.4%) suggest notably softer growth in Q4 consumption than initially estimated,” says Peter Newland, an economist at Barclays. -- “This subtracted 0.4 percentage points from our tracking estimate, which now stands at 2.2%, a full percentage point below the first official release."

The Cash on the Sidelines Myth Lives On
Charts - (click to view) -- A quote...."There are nonetheless ways in which the topic of 'cash' (or rather money, since most money is held as deposit money these days) provides useful information for the purpose of market analysis. As indicated above, the pile of money extant in the economy is after all indeed growing, and it has done so at a breakneck pace over the past few years. The central banks and the commercial banking system are actually the only sources of additional 'sidelines cash' if you will. However, this does actually not mean that any increase in the money supply will guarantee rising asset prices. Rather, bubbles require very high money supply growth rates, and often they require accelerating growth rates (there are leads and lags involved, so this is not always immediately obvious)." - also posted at ZeroHedge

The Return of Subprime Lending: “The Party is OVER and the banks are Scrambling to Delay Day of Reckoning"

Oh wait, we know: maybe the fact that Wells picked the absolutely worst moment to go in subprime - just as the broader housing market is about to take yet another steep plunge for the worse, as the recent foreclosure report from RealtyTrac confirmed, when it reported a dramatic57% increase in California foreclosure starts from a year ago…"

“Foreclosure Rebound Pattern”: Foreclosures SUDDENLY Jump 57% in California (And Soar In Much Of The Country) - Chart - (click to enlarge) - A quote...."It’s not just in California. Foreclosure starts rose 10% from December to hit 57,259 properties across the country. That they on average were still down 12% from a year earlier obscured major annual increases in certain individual states, and not just in one or two, like us crazies out here in California, but in 22 states! And California with its 57% jump in foreclosure starts now suddenly seems tame: In New Jersey, they soared 79%, in Connecticut 82%, and in Maryland 126%! -- The cynic in me says the sudden and dizzying jump in foreclosure starts, not only in California but in much of the country, must be some kind of data problem. Maybe RealtyTrac’s computers got hacked by some evildoer who was short the housing market or something. But when I contacted RealtyTrac to request permission to republish the chart, there was no word of a retraction, though this would have been a good opportunity, and so the numbers hold." - also posted at ZeroHedge

[The US] Government Lays Groundwork To Confiscate Your 401k and IRA: “This Is Happening”
A quote...."This morning Reuters obtained a leaked proposal disclosing that European Union officials are looking for new and innovative ways to fund their immense debt levels. As noted by Zero Hedge, they’re no longer turning exclusively to central bankers to simply print more money as needed. Because last year’s bank bail-in forcing the confiscation of funds from average depositors in Cyprus worked so well, EU regulators and bankers have determined that they’ll use a similar method to fund their future endeavors."

Europe Considers Wholesale Savings Confiscation, Enforced Redistribution
A quote...."At first we thought Reuters had been punk’d in its article titled “EU executive sees personal savings used to plug long-term financing gap” which disclosed the latest leaked proposal by the European Commission, but after several hours without a retraction, we realized that the story is sadly true.Sadly, because everything that we warned about in “There May Be Only Painful Ways Out Of The Crisis” back in September of 2011, and everything that the depositors and citizens of Cyprus had to live through, seems on the verge of going continental. In a nutshell, and in Reuters’ own words, “the savings of the European Union’s 500 million citizens could be used to fund long-term investments to boost the economy and help plug the gap left by banks since the financial crisis, an EU document says.” What is left unsaid is that the “usage” will be on a purely involuntary basis, at the discretion of the “union”, and can thus best be described as confiscation." - Source:  ZeroHedge

Usury: Weapon of Control and Enslavement – Part 1 of 2
Must Read - A quote...."The world economy is based on the sand foundation of usury, which was considered a sin and tool of covert warfare for thousands of years.

• The rich rules over the poor,
• And the borrower is servant to the lender. Proverbs 22:7
• Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes its laws -- Attributed to Mayer Amschel Rothschild

"The world financial system seems complex but it is actually very simple: a cabal of bankers has conquered the world by lending people and governments money that does not exist and charging interest on it. No lasting economic recovery or increased standard of living is possible for the majority unless usury and the political power of bankers are abolished."

How Monks and Monasteries Saved Civilization and Killed Usury
Must Read - A quote...."In the first century, Christ cast the moneylenders out of the Temple, but they gradually arose again during the thirteenth century, which created economic panic among the peasants. - For example, the French town of Villefrance wrote to King Philip IV in the thirteenth century, saying that moneylenders “are absolutely and utterly destroying the town and district.”[1] - The moneylenders throughout the Middle Ages were involved in exploiting the peasants, and thus were hated. Even philo-Semitic historians such as James Parkes admitted that this was the case, where interest rates ranged between 22 and 173 percent. - Similar exorbitant interest rates were widespread throughout medieval England and France....."

RT's Maria Finoshina reports on the shocking revelations on who's joining the rebels from across the Syrian border."

The Trinity of Evil has now succeeded in spreading their vile Wahhabist terrorist shock troops to destabilize Lebanon!  They must be so happy! 

To the US military and CIA, nice job spreading Wahhabism throughout the Middle East and North Africa, nice job on kissing Israel's ass, way to go people, you must be so proud of yourselves.

One day when there's a legitimate government in this nation, everyone in the previous government who supported these hundreds of radical groups and their heinous terrorism for the last two decades is going to be rounded up, and judged on the basis of actively giving material support to organ eating, nation destroying, child murdering, terrorists on behalf the wealthy parasitic families of the Arabian peninsula and the Euro-Kazarian Banksters of Israel.

McCain Explodes at Syrian Christians Who Describe Atrocities Committed By Rebels He Wants to Arm
A Zio-Whore Shows Who Owns Him - A quote...."Senator McCain, an Arizona Republican, evidently doesn’t want to hear negative stories about the rebels he’s working to arm. So he stormed out of a closed-door meeting with the Syrian clergy officials last week. Held in the Senate Arms Services Committee meeting room, the reunion also included senators Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Joe Manchin of West Virginia. Graham is a Republican and the rest are Democrats. -- McCain marched into the committee room yelling, according to a high-level source that attended the meeting, and quickly stormed out. “He was incredibly rude,” the source told Judicial Watch “because he didn’t think the Syrian church leaders should even be allowed in the room.”

What would Jesus say about a US Senator becoming vehemently, viciously, angry with Christians because they're complaining that his sponsors (the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium) and their plan (the PNAC Protocols) and his OPEN support of foreign Wahhabist terrorism on behalf of his patrons and their plan are resulting in the brutal sadistic deaths of tens of thousands of Christians, with potential death or expulsion for millions more!!

The Chinese missiles in the Saudi hands are not the weapon to reverse the situation, but they rather bring more tension into the psychological war, i.e., the type of confrontation that can result in most unpredictable consequences."

The 2014 Olympics in Sochi is undoubtedly the most politicized Games since the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. -- First came the Saudi and Chechen threats to unleash terrorist attacks on the Games — international racketeering and blackmail at its worst, putting Russia on their highest security alert in Sochi. Shockingly, the international (aka western) community was completely silent over this affair, not least of all because it involved staunch US and British ally Saudi Arabia. -- Contrast that with this week’s big international statement of outrage over Russia’s supposed ‘anti-gay’ laws — punctuated by an American TV commentator dressing in drag in front of a world-wide audience."

Eight on-going wars, millions dead, blatant, obvious, false-flag events carried out, such as 9/11, 7/7 and Madrid, tens of trillions wasted, the treasury looted, the economy destroyed, Banksters openly laughing about how they're above the law and flaunting their ill-gotten gains along with  their get out of jail free cards in everyone's faces, and massive, open, unapologetic, non-stop support for organ eating, head chopping, terrorism across the Middle East and North Africa by the same Neo-Liberal parasites who are....

.....criticizing Russia, using the Olympics of all venues to do so, for not promoting homo-sexuality to their children???

Historians are going to one day look back at this last decade and conclude that the people in the United States of America were completely, and totally, out of their fucking minds. - mpg

Russia rebukes Washington after Obama comments on Syria
A quote...."MOSCOW: The Russian Foreign Ministry on Wednesday accused the United States of deliberately distorting its position on Syria after President Barack Obama criticised Moscow for objecting to a draft U.N. resolution on aid to Syria. -- Moscow has said it would veto the Western-Arab draft resolution on aid access to Syria in its current form, saying it was "detached from reality" and that it could only consider a text free of "one-sided accusations" against Damascus."

Israel's Control Grid....Grows -- A quote..."The LAPD-Israel bond was in large part fused by former LAPD Chief William Bratton, who made official trips to Israel to learn about the country’s advanced counter-terrorism [colonial repression] tactics during his chiefdom from 2002 to 2009. At a town hall meeting in Los Angeles near the end of his term, Bratton said of Israeli intelligence experts: “They are our allies. They are some of the best at what they do in the world, and that close relationship has been one of growing strength and importance.”"

Israel's Hasbara Exposed - (Again....) -- A quote...."There is a reason for so much secrecy and distortion. You see, if Judea and Samaria, as defined in Resolution 181 are in fact returned for Palestinian resettlement, emptying prisons and concentration camps, some dating back 63 years, Israel as we know it won’t exist. - This is why we have so many lies now and why history, the Nabka, the 1967 war, so much history has been fictionalized and distorted, almost as though so many years ago the USS Liberty had attacked herself. - Judea and Samaria make up large portions of Israel stretching from the Lebanon border in the north to well into the south, leaving “Jewish Israel” as series of islands. - The reality that drove the 1948 war to expel Palestine’s Arab population becomes clear; the choice was to continue as a multicultural state or to push forward a planned extermination based on theories of ethnic cleansing. - Nowhere in the West is a credible history of this taught."

One of them is Shlomo Gazit, today a respected (in Israel, at least) academic at Tel Aviv University. - In January 1972, Ariel Sharon decided that 3,000 Bedouin were in the way of a massive military exercise he wanted to conduct in the southern Negev and northern Sinai. So he summarily expelled two tribes in the el-Arish area of the Sinai from their homes, during a deep winter spell. At least 40 people died, mostly babies, children and the elderly. - A young army researcher, Clinton Bailey, heard from other Bedouin of the expulsion and went to meet the families. He photographed 28 small graves at their new makeshift location." - Source:  JonathanCook

If you cannot stay focused on the job We The Taxpayers pay you to do, kindly have the decency to resign forthwith.

Recent polls show that, on average, we believe 28 percent of the federal budget is eaten up by it, and that, in a time of austerity, this gigantic bite of the budget should be cut back to 10 percent. In actual fact, barely 1 percent of the federal budget goes to foreign aid of any kind. - In this case, however, truth is at least as strange as fiction. -- Consider that the top recipient of foreign aid over the past three decades isn't some impoverished land filled with starving kids, but a wealthy nation with a per-head gross domestic product on par with the European Union average, and higher than that of Italy, Spain, or South Korea." - bold by website editor - Source:  TomDispatch

It sanctions the destabilization and overthrow of governments, the assassination of leaders, the destruction of industry and infrastructure, the backing of military coups, death squads, and drug traffickers, and imperialism under the guise of humanitarianism. It supports corrupt and tyrannical governments and brutal sanctions and embargoes. It results in discord, strife, hatred, and terrorism toward the United States." -- Source:  LudwigVonMisesInstitute

China Pursues New Central Asian Gas Route
Geo-Political Alert - A quote...."China appears to be buying an expensive insurance policy for natural gas imports from Central Asia with its plans to build a pipeline through Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. - Since 2006, China has invested heavily in developing gas imports from Turkmenistan, opening its Central Asia Gas Pipeline (CAGP) across Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan at the end of 2009. - So far, state-owned China National Petroleum Corp. (CNPC) has built two strands of the CAGP and plans to complete a third on the 2,000-kilometer (1,242-mile) route to Xinjiang this year."

It's an obvious step for China to take and it would have been criminal of their leadership not to take it. The US-NRE's parasites and their colonial administrators, Israel's Banksters, are COMPLETELY INSANE.  They have made it abundantly clear during the last three decades, both in the PNAC Protocols and with their recent "Asian Pivot" plan that they intend to cut China off from the Middle East's natural resources.  This pipeline is a necessary insurance policy to ensure China continues to get enough energy for its people. As a result of their ingenuity, we can all expect a further eastward expansion of al-CIA'da and further, deliberately induced havoc, in the former Soviet Caspian Basin CIS States. No doubt as you read this, the Pentagon, under Israeli direction has begin the process of cultivating and training future local sabotage units to attack the pipeline, once it's built. - mpg

Official Story Of Osama Bin Laden's Death A Hoax With New Evidence Indicating Military Cover Up To Support Propaganda And Lies -- A quote...."According to the official story, Osama Bin Laden was said to have died after a team of Navy Seals shot him dead during a raid on his safe house in Pakistan on May 1st 2011.  This story has been propagandized heavily not just by the Zionist run media in America but also in the Hollywood film production Zero Dark Thirty.  It is a complete fabrication of reality for many reasons including the fact that Bin Laden was extremely sick in the days before the 9/11 attacks and was widely reported to have died shortly after.  Now additional information has come forward revealing that Admiral William McRaven the head of U.S. Special Operations Command ordered that all photos of Bin Laden’s supposed remains should be sent to the CIA or destroyed shortly after a FOIA request for them was submitted." - bold by website editor

This is VERY important folks.  If Osama bin Laden died in 2001, who made all those fake tapes?  Including the one where he supposedly confessed to facilitating 9/11?  By destroying these photos, by covering up the fact it was NOT bin Laden who was murdered, Admiral William McRaven has "perverted the course of justice" and destroyed material evidence which might have helped reveal those who actually carried out 9/11. A preponderance of which shows several foreign state actors were directly involved.  What he did therefore is an act of treason under article three section three of the United States Constitution. - mpg -- Topix  ||  Osama bin Back From the Dead™  ||

He got fed up and since he was rich, he kind of left it all and spent a lot of time on his yacht going up and down the Erie Canal and the Finger Lakes as well as other places. Used to berth at a Senaca River Restaurant outside of Baldwinsville and drink beer and talk Syracuse Football with my Dad in the 60s and 70s after the Twilight Zone went off the air. - The Twilight Zone was his major TV product as well as a ton of independent TV productions. He gave the censors fits, unintentionally at first, by trying to write stuff that was intelligent, current and culturally challenging. I found an excerpt of this interview online and decided that the whole thing was worth providing,"

The week-to-week ebbs and and flows in mortgage applications are notable  (this week saw purchase applications drop 5% and back near recent lows) but a bigger picture glance at just where this "recovery" has been tells a very different story about confidence among home-buyers. --  Mortgage applications for home purchases have basically flatlined since the Fed began QE and hover now just above their lowest levels since 1995..."

However, so far there have been two major loose ends in the story of personal data collection (and abuse): just how web search browsers and cookie-based advertising companies collect everything there is to know about the particular interests and desires of any given individual, and just as importantly, how banks abuse client confidentiality by taking the secret financial data of their clients less than seriously." - Source:  ZeroHedge

JP Morgan Executive Becomes 5th Banker to Die in Last 2 Weeks
Five & Counting -- A quote...."Ordinarily we would ignore the news of another banker's death - after all these sad events happen all the time - if it wasn't for several contextual aspects of this most recent passage. First, the death in question, as reported by the Stamford Daily Voice is that of Ryan Henry Crane, a Harvard graduate, who is survived by his wife, son and parents at the very young age of 37. Second, Ryan Henry Crane was formerly employed by JPMorgan - a bank which was featured prominently in the news as recently as two weeks ago when another of its London-based employees committed suicide by jumping from the top floor of its Canary Wharf building. Third: Crane was an Executive Director in JPM's Global Program Trading desk, founded in 1999 by an ex-DE Shaw'er, a function of the firm which is instrumental to preserving JPM's impeccable and (so far in 2013) flawless trading record of zero trading losses." - A comment.....

Has Cancer Been Completely Misunderstood?
Must Read - New Concept -- A quote...."Is randomness and chaos, then, really at the root of the transformation of healthy cells into cancer?  Tumors, after all, express highly organized behaviors, seemingly impossible to induce through strictly random forces such as mutation.....A collection of cancer cells (tumors), for instance, are capable of building their own blood supply (angiogenesis), are able to defend themselves by silencing cancer-suppression genes and activating tumor-promoter genes, secreting corrosive enzymes to move freely throughout the body, alter their metabolism to live in low oxygen, high sugar and acidic environments, and know how to remove their own surface-receptor proteins to escape detection by white blood cells.  Could these complex behaviors really be a result of random mutations? And is it possible that random mutations could result in the formation of the same "lucky" set of genetic properties, each and every time a new cancer forms in a human? -- Random mutations, no doubt, play a major role in the initiation and promotion of cancer, but are not alone sufficient for a complete explanation.  One group of scientists, in fact, have offered a much more compelling explanation. They view multiple mutations causing an unmasking of an ancient survival program within the cell...." - bold/underline  by website editor

Must Read - A quote...."The most important takeaway from this analysis should be this: Radiation, itself, is less a threat than most people imagine.

For those who chose not to read the full report and just want the punchline, it's this: Contamination is the process of acquiring radioactive particles that then become lodged on, or more dangerously in, your body.

Must Read - Quote of the Day...." February 09, 2014 "Information Clearing House -  What is it about America's women diplomats? They seem so hard and cloned - bereft of any humanity or intelligence. Presumably, these women are supposed to represent social advance for the female gender. But, far from displaying female independence, they are just a pathetic copy of the worst traits in American male politicians - aggressive, arrogant and completely arrant in their views. - Take Victoria Nuland - the US Assistant Secretary of State - who was caught using obscene language in a phone call about the European Union and the political affairs of Ukraine. In her previous posting as a spokeswoman for the US State Department, Nuland had the demeanor of a robotic matron with a swivel eye. - Now in her new role of covertly rallying anti-government protesters in Ukraine, Nuland has emerged to sound like a bubblegum-chewing Mafia doll."

You're As Evil as Your Social Network: What the Prison Experiment Got Wrong
Must Read - In other words, your government, your church and your corporation "didn't make you do it".  YOU made you do it!! - mpg -- A quote...."Their research suggests that there is no passive "Lucifer Effect" leading people simply to do what they are told. In a recent paper, Professeors Haslam and Reicher summarize some of the conclusions being drawn from the past fifteen years of research. What they have found is that blind obedience is not the norm. The study concludes...."

"At root, the fundamental point is that tyranny does not flourish because perpetrators are helpless and ignorant of their actions. It flourishes because they actively identify with those who promote vicious acts as virtuous. It is this conviction that steels participants to do their dirty work and that makes them work energetically and creatively to ensure its success. Moreover, this work is something for which they actively wish to be held accountable—so long as it secures the approbation of those in power."

"These findings point to the inner, conscious agency of those carrying out the vicious agendas of evil regimes. People are never just black-box agents taking inputs from authority figures and producing outputs in the form of obedient execution of commands. People are responsible for their own ideas, and it is through their own personal identification with a given social order that they become agents of good or evil." - bold by website editor

Undersecretary for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman, a former senior U.S. Department official, and that he would appoint a U.N. representative to help move it forward. Vice President Joe Biden would also be brought into the plan at the right time, according to Nuland. “F….Europe!” Such were the words used in Kiev, Ukraine by Victoria Nuland, the US Assistant Secretary of State for Europe.

UK’s William Hague and Israeli crimes
A quote...."From Mr Hague there have been no actual condemnations, no upholding of the responsibility to protect, no action to save lives, no recognition of the need for justice, no activation of the International Criminal Court and no holding of Israeli war criminals to account." -- The Foreign Office website states: “Our position on Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories is clear: they are illegal under international law, an obstacle to peace and make a two-state solution harder to achieve.” -- hat’s not quite enough though. The so-called settlements are not just illegal. Under Article 8.2(b)(viii) of the Rome Statute the transfer, directly or indirectly, by the occupying power of parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies is a war crime. The Foreign Office therefore needs to be more explicit."

The U.S. Counterattack in Central America
A quote...."The U.S. got the green light to expand its military presence in the country in 2010, that is, when Laura Chinchilla came to power. She was sympathetic to the arguments of the American embassy: Costa Rica is a country through which drugs are transported to the U.S. Costa Rica does not have its own army, so it was implied that America's help would be needed in the fight against drug trafficking. Chinchilla easily persuaded the parliament that such collaboration was necessary. She forwarded a note on the subject from the U.S. embassy to the legislators without translating it from English to Spanish. If one is to believe the news agencies, the representatives voted almost unanimously in favor. Perhaps this is why Costa Rica is increasingly being called a «U.S. protectorate». The Americanization of the country is proceeding at an accelerated pace."

NAFTA was promoted in the commercial media as an engine for job creation in the United States, an assertion that is contradicted by the facts. According to Wolff, more than 700,000 jobs fled the country as the result of NAFTA, many of them providing middle class incomes and benefits. - Those jobs are never coming back.

The Final Swindle Of Private American Wealth Has Begun
Must Read - A quote...."I began writing analysis on the macro-economic situation of the American financial structure back in 2006, and in the eight years since, I have seen an undeniably steady trend of fiscal decline. -- I have never had any doubt that the U.S. economy as we know it was headed for total and catastrophic collapse, the only question was when, exactly, the final trigger event would occur. As I have pointed out in the past, economic implosion is a process. It grows over time, like the ice shelf on a mountain developing into a potential avalanche. It is easy to shrug off the danger because the visible destruction is not immediate, it is latent; but when the avalanche finally begins, it is far too late for most people to escape…..If you view the progressive financial breakdown in America as some kind of “comedy of errors” or a trial of unlucky coincidences, then there is not much I can do to educate you on the reasons behind the carnage. If, however, you understand that there is a deliberate motivation behind American collapse, then what I have to say here will not fall on biased ears."

GHVideo - Alt - (GHYuTb - 23min14sec - Feb 9, 2014) -- Source:  GregHunter@YuTb - Related Sites:  USAWatchDog  -- A quote...."Arthur Bob Wiedemer. says You are actually getting negative growth. The Fed knows this. They just don’t talk about it because their job is to be a cheerleader. They want to try to make everybody feel good and that their policies are working. If those policies don’t work, what’s the Fed going to do? What are we going to do? It’s a bigger issue, but bottom line here is I think the banks are safe in the sense the Fed can bail them out, but there will come a point when the Fed can’t and won’t, and that’s when you got a bigger problem.” -- For anyone who thinks we’ve seen the worst of the bad economy—think again. Wiedemer predicts, “The big one is coming . . . we’re just pumping up the bubbles, and all that’s going to do is make them a lot worse when they pop. . . . You are just putting more gun powder under the house . . . that’s a big mistake long term.”"

Guest Post: The Smog Of Fraud
A quote...."The Fed, in turn, “lends” billions of dollars at zero interest back to the primary dealers who then park the “borrowed” money in accounts at the Fed at a higher interest rate. This is, of course, money for nothing, and even small interest rate differentials add up to tidy profits when the volumes on deposit are so massive. -- This “carry trade” was started because the primary dealer banks were functionally insolvent after 2008 and needed to build “reserves” up to some level that would putatively render them sound. But that was a sketchy concept anyway since accounting standards had been officially abandoned in 2009 when the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) declared that banks could report the stuff on their books at any value they felt like. In short, the soundness of the biggest banks in the USA could no longer be determined, period."

About Those 2.9 Million Jobs Lost In January...
Chart - (click to view) -- A quote...."Much has been said about the January Non-farm payrolls number, which rose by 113K on expectations of a 180K increase, most of which has been focused on the US atmospheric conditions during the winter. There is a problem with those numbers: they don't really exist (as for the non-impact of "the weather" on jobs we showed previously that the number of people "not at work due to weather" as calculated by the BLS itself. this winter was lower than 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 - so much for historic winter weather). -- So what really happened in January? -- For the real answer we have to go to the BLS' non-seasonally adjusted data series. It is here that we find that in January, some 2.870 million real, actual jobs were lost, not gained. Putting this further in perspective, the number of NSA jobs losses in January 2014 was greater than in January of 2013, 2012, 2011 and tied that of 2010."
