of Freedom Watch. FOX news did not "fire" the Judge... they just
cancelled his show. According to Fox News press release, the Judge
will be appearing again on Fox but Freedom Watch is done

its sad to watch this end, one had to wonder how long it was going

departing, after an incessant clamor from the left that to permit

outrage against decency, and dangerous."
Who
Will Liberate America? - Obama, the Human Rights Hypocrite
Special Note - A
quote...."Is Obama a hypocrite or merely insouciant? Or is
he an idiot? -- According to news reports Obama’s White House
meeting on Valentine’s day with China’s Vice President, Xi
Jinping, provided an opportunity for Obama to raise “a sensitive
human rights issue with the Chinese leader-in-waiting.” The
brave and forthright Obama didn’t let etiquette or decorum get in
his way. Afterwards, Obama declared that Washington would
“continue to emphasize what we believe is the importance of
realizing the aspirations and rights of all people.” -- Think
about that for a minute. Washington is now in the second decade of
murdering Muslim men, women, and children in six countries.
Washington is so concerned with human rights that it drops bombs
on schools, hospitals, weddings and funerals, all in order to
uphold the human rights of Muslim people. You see, bombing
liberates Muslim women from having to wear the burka and from male
domination. -- One hundred thousand, or one million, dead Iraqis,
four million displaced Iraqis, a country with destroyed
infrastructure, and entire cities, such as Fallujah, bombed and
burnt with white phosphorus into cinders is the proper way to show
concern for human rights. -- Ditto for Afghanistan. And
Libya." -

How
The Profit MotIve Drives U.S. Policy
A quote...."Jeremy Scahill story on Yemen
provides
insight into the mechanisms that drives U.S. policies. --
There is no moral aspect in it. The mechanism is solely driven by
an ideology of profit for the few which gets implanted into its
various clients with the intent to provide a motive for more of
the same. -- The privatization in prisons in the U.S. is one
example. If you have a private prison you want to further
indictments to get it filled to, in the end, make more profit. --
If you are hired for fighting terrorism you want it to stay, or
even increase, to continue your income." -

become one of Iran’s most important trading partners, and has been
increasing its ties to Iran since sanctions have been imposed by
the West. Indeed, India has agreed to use creative payment methods
for Iranian oil. See

hired for Delhi's sticky-bomb attack may be of Indian origin,
say sources: 5 big facts
A quote...."Investigations
suggest that the bomber hired may be of Indian origin. Sources
have told NDTV that the drill rehearsed before it was implemented;
and that the idea was to kill anyone from the Israeli embassy. The
diplomat's wife, who is in hospital with spinal injuries, was not
the specific target."
US,
Israel invoke terror to ratchet up war threats against Iran
A quote...."Both
Washington and Israel have seized upon a string of abortive bomb
plots in India, Georgia and Thailand to escalate war threats
against Iran. -- In India, an unknown individual on a motorcycle
attached a bomb to a car in which the wife of an Israeli diplomat
was riding in Delhi on February 13. The woman and the car’s driver
were lightly injured. On the same day in Tbilisi, Georgia, a bomb
was discovered attached to an Israeli embassy vehicle and
defused."
Dirty
Tricks By Israel, Washington, And NATO Are Bringing The World To

Washington have lost their monopoly on the global narrative. The
9/11 lie has collapsed under the weight of truth. In response, the
crazies in Tel Aviv are starting World War III by staging false
flag attacks around the world and blaming them on Iran in order to
isolate it from the international community before bombing it.

Nixon was a choir boy compared to Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu, who is an international terrorist and war criminal."

about new developments in their “nuclear weapons” program. The
story was hyped up as a “very big” announcement and used to invoke
fears of an Iranian atomic bomb being detonated against the west.
To take advantage of the situation U.S. official appeared on the

gulf nation, together with the new axis of anti-USD (as confirmed

economy, or alternatively, one with commoditized intermediates.
However, this ignores the likelihood of geopolitical instability
caused by intervening US and Israeli interest in the region. Below

likelihood of another full blown shooting war erupting in the
Persian Gulf, as well as his thoughts on how one may prepare for
such a contingency."

A quote...."In Obama’s new budget, very few have noted thus far
that $500 billion of his $3.8 trillion dollar budget is going to
pay the big banks which make up the “Federal” Reserve system for
nothing more than interest on the debt that they created and then
got bailed out for. What is that? Somewhere around 16.6% of the
total budget for 2013?"
From
Atlas To Capital - Everyone Is Shrugging
Quote of the Day...."The
US Federal Reserve has added more than $2 trillion to the base
money supply since 2008 – an incredible and unprecedented number
that is basically a gift to banks intended to cover their deep
losses and spur lending and investment. Instead, as banks continue
their enormous deleveraging, almost all of their new money remains
at the Fed in the form of excess reserves. -- Corporations,
moreover, are holding the largest amounts of cash, relative to
assets and net worth, ever recorded. And yet, despite what pundits
claim about strong balance sheets, firms’ debt levels, relative to
assets and net worth, also remain near record-high levels. --
Hoarded cash is king. The velocity of money (the frequency at
which money is spent, or GDP relative to base money) continues to
plunge to historic lows. No wonder monetary policy has had so
little impact. Capital, the engine of economic growth, sits idle –
shrugging everywhere."
The
Grand Game of Perception Management
Special Note - A
quote...."Perception management" can be usefully shortened to a
one-syllable word: "con." The confidence-man's most basic tool is
to create the surface sheen of success with minimal investment of
time and capital. Thus the con-man buys a couple of designer
suits, rents a cubbyhole office with a prestigious address, leases
a 500-series Mercedes vehicle, counterfeits some diplomas or other
signifiers of Elite status and achievement, and then goes to work
conning his credulous marks. -- This exactly describes the
strategy being pursued by Ben Bernanke, Tim Geithner, the
financial media, and America's scabrous political class. Consider
one of the Status Quo's most valuable cons, the unemployment rate
as calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)."

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.) "

Conspiracy theory? No. The US presidential campaign in 2012 will be

information deemed essential to democracy will fail to drown out the
fact that the Democrat versus Republican narrative is utterly out of

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,

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

parking lot was concerned about the safety of the man's children.
-- Orange County sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino said Friday that
the deputy tried to pull over Sgt. Manuel Loggins Jr. at about
4:30 am Tuesday when he drove through a parking lot gate at San
Clemente High School. -- Amormino says Loggins did not respond to
the deputy's orders and yelled irrational statements that led the
deputy to grow concerned about the children who were in Loggins'
SUV. -- Amormino declined to specify what Loggins said, citing the
pending investigation."
Because a father of two children
made "irrational" statements (probably told the deputy to go
expletive himself) while he was driving through a gate --
this deputy took out his gun and as the father was walking back
toward his vehicle, blazed away killing the father in front his
children's horrified eyes because the deputy was concerned over
the "children's safety"
Now this sort of insanity and
bald faced lying is a direct result of this society's decent

as killing (a.k.a. murdering) millions of people while taking
(a.k.a. stealing) their natural resources is characterized as "helping" those people.
Just as printing (a.k.a. counterfeiting) tens of trillions of
dollars to give (a.k.a. more stealing) to a bunch of Banksters

murdering him in front of his children's horrified eyes is put

be, a conservative revolution in Washington. Political party
control of the federal government has changed, but the inexorable
growth in the size and scope of government has continued unabated.
The liberal arguments for limited government in personal affairs
and foreign military adventurism were never seriously considered

funding of these militants did not begin after the Soviet

soon to be spilt all over Syria. - mpg -- A quote...."As
Syrian army tanks mass around Homs and its artillery pounds Sunni
districts of the city, Syria is slipping into the first stages of
a sectarian civil war. This conflict could be as bloody as
anything seen in Iraq between 2006 and 2007 or as long as the
civil war in Lebanon (1975-90). The two words that best describe
the current process in Syria are “Lebanization” and
“militarization”; neither bodes well for Syria’s people. -- In
Homs, death squads from the Sunni and Alawi, the Shia sect that
dominates Syria’s ruling elite, are starting to seek out victims
from each other’s communities. Sunni say they are being massacred
by shellfire; Alawi demand that their Sunni neighbours be
bombarded even more heavily. Syria was never a homogenous country

Unemployment,
Foreclosures, Rising Debts and Despair: America’s Social Crisis
– Bob Chapman
Special Note - A
quote...."World elitists have chosen their path that is jam money
and credit into the system until it won’t take it anymore and
hyperinflation explodes. This is well borne out by scores of
trillion dollar loans created out of thin air and now QE 3 and how
many QE’s beyond that. You ask how long the Fed can buy 80%
Treasuries? The answer is almost indefinitely until, of course,
the bottom falls out. -- Using current policy there cannot be a
real recovery, only an up and down sideways movement, which allows
the financial sector to get richer and the economy to go nowhere.
The latter is part of the enslavement process. You lose your job,
home, vehicles and have to hunt for food and shelter. At some
point government will pick these people up and put them in
internment camps. Nothing has been fixed at the jobs level and in
fact the situation is worsening. Even those who can get jobs are
paid $10 to $15 an hour, not the $15 to $30 they were previously
paid, as jobs still leave the country under free trade,
globalization, offshoring and outsourcing. The worker is being
deliberately being trampled in the process and being subjected to
higher and higher inflation, as too big to fail banks get bigger
and bigger."

limited, and where the only worthy candidate is more ostracized by
the right than even anyone on the left, the bottom line is that
whoever wins the presidency, it will matter precisely didley
squat. As the US debt clock shows, fast forwarding 4 years, or to
February 2016, when the next presidential race will be in its
final stretch, America will have $24.1 trillion in debt, about $9
trillion more than it does, now on $17.4 trillion in GDP, for a

A quote...."Protesters clashes in Greece over Eurozone
austerity deal" - A comment shown below.....
"Looks like that deal the Greek
Cabinet made with the EU and IMF may be moot. When the Greek
government falls, there is no way to keep those trillions in
credit default swaps sold by Wall Street from triggering. That
will destroy the US economy and the Federal Government with it.
Greece, the birth place of democracy, might just halt the rush
into WW3! -- The Greeks have balls Americans only dream of! Like
Iceland, they are showing the way to the future. -- Which may
explain why ABCNNBBCBSFOX think the death of yet another
drugged-up has-been rock star is more newsworthy!" -- *Michael Rivero*
A
Greek Default Doesn’t Need To Be Chaotic For Greece
A quote...."The rhetoric coming out of Greece has reached a fever
pitch. -- Papademos and Samaras are both out their creating dire
images of a post apocalyptic Greek state if a default
occurs. Maybe it is a good time to remember what Papademos’
job is. He wasn’t elected. He doesn’t represent the
Greek people in a fashion that we are used to – running for
election and winning the election. He was foisted on the
Greek people by the EU – the very people he is going through the
motions of negotiating with. His JOB was to get the Greeks
to accept what the EU wants. If he isn’t the most conflicted
politician of all time, he is right up there." -

Unnamed
Sources Say: al Qaeda™ (formerly known as “Freedom Fighters”)
Now in Syria
Must Read - A quote...."If
you read that headline and thought to yourself “wow… they’ll never
stop milking that golden goose”… you’re not alone. The CIA has
packed up their al Qaeda™ roadshow and jetted out of Libya,
apparently setting up their bloody shop in Syria, the next target
on their “
7
countries in 5 years” Tour. The modern day “freedom
fighters”, complete with their own
congressional
funding and an
office
right there in D.C., go from hero to villain and back again
in the blink of an eye depending on whatever the spin calls for.
It’s like a day labor pool for monsters: Killers Temp Services –
“We’re There When You Need Us to Blow Up Some Kids”. -- I
guess giving them an office in D.C. is cost effective… saves all
that travel and per diem expense. Hillary can just walk out her
back door and chat with those old friends of hers who helped them
destabilize Bosnia and Kosovo and so many others in the past.
After all these decades of dedicated service to the globalists,
it’s about time al Qaeda™ got a corner office with a view, don’t

as al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) carried out two recent bombings in the
Syrian capital, Damascus, and likely was behind the suicide
bombings on Friday in the city of Aleppo that killed at least 28
people, anonymous U.S. officials

far of the official military narrative of success in the
Afghanistan War since the troop surge began in early 2010. -- In

More On The

Ethnic
Cleansing in a Zionist Fairyland
A quote...."'De-Arabizing the history of Palestine is another
crucial element of the ethnic cleansing. 1500 years of Arab and
Muslim rule and culture in Palestine are trivialized, evidence of
its existence is being destroyed and all this is done to make the
absurd connection between the ancient Hebrew civilization and
today's Israel. The most glaring example of this today is in
Silwan, (Wadi Hilwe) a town adjacent to the Old City of Jerusalem
with some 50,000 residents. Israel is expelling families
from Silwan and destroying their homes because it claims that king
David built a city there some 3000 years ago. Thousands of
families will be made homeless so that Israel can build a park to
commemorate a king that may or may not have lived 3000 years ago.
Not a shred of historical
evidence exists that can prove King David ever lived yet
Palestinian men, women, children and the elderly along with
their schools and mosques, churches and ancient cemeteries and
any evidence of their existence must be destroyed and then
denied so that Zionist claims to exclusive rights to the land
may be substantiated.'" - bold by website editor -

"Today is history. Today will be

this day. Today is history, and you are part of it. Six hundred
years ago, when elsewhere they were footing the blame for the
Black Plague, Kasmierz the Great, so called, told the Jews they
could come to Krakow. They came. They trundled their belongings
into the city. They settled; they took hold; they prospered in
business, science, education, the arts. They came here with
nothing. Nothing. And they flourished. For six centuries, there
has been a Jewish Krakow. Think about that. By this evening,
those six centuries are a rumor. They never happened. Today is
history." -- *

supporting rebels in their struggle. The so-called "Friends of
Democratic Syria" will involve countries willing to prop up the
opposition, and pile more pressure on the regime. Direct military
action is ruled out, but reports suggest British and Qatari special
forces are already in the conflict zone. And while the US and its
allies criticize Russia for supplying military hardware to Damascus,
there are now calls from American lawmakers to arm the opposition.
As RT's Marina Portnaya reports, the region's already been flooded
with firepower made in the USA."

The
biggest propaganda spectacle on Syria ever
Propaganda Alert - A
quote...."Western media (of course you can add Saudi and Qatari
media) are involved in the biggest propaganda spectacle that I have
ever seen. It is bigger than the propaganda blitz that
preceded the American invasion of Iraq. There are very few
Western journalists who are dissenting: it is all the same narrative
and daily barrage of propaganda comes from the highly non-credible,
pro-Saudi outfit, known as Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights. Western media continue to interview "Rami
Abdur-Rahman" after it was revealed that the person does not even
exist and that there are in fact two Syrian Observatories for Human
Rights and both are vying for the propaganda role, and presumably
for Saudi and Qatari money. "

Implausibly Denies Role in Israeli Terror Squads - Are non-Jewish, US-NRE parasites

Israel,
MEK and state sponsor of Terror groups
Related Article - A quote...."One of the most under-reported
political stories of the last year is the devoted advocacy of
numerous prominent American political figures on behalf of an
Iranian group long formally
designated as a Terrorist organization under U.S. law. A large
bipartisan cast has received substantial fees from that group, the
Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK), and has then become their passionate
defenders. The group of MEK shills includes former top Bush
officials and other Republicans (Michael Mukasey, Fran Townsend,
Andy Card, Tom Ridge, Rudy Giuliani) as well as prominent Democrats
(Howard Dean, Ed Rendell, Bill Richardson, Wesley Clark). As The
Christian Science Monitor reported
last August, those individuals “have been paid tens of
thousands of dollars to speak in support of the MEK.” No matter what
one thinks of this group – here is a summary
of its activities – it is formally designated as a Terrorist
group and it is thus a felony under U.S. law to provide it with any
“material support.” - Topix

fears Iran has data downed drone failed to dump
A quote...."10 Feb 2012 A comprehensive CIA investigation reportedly
fails to find the cause of the US drone going down in Iran last
year, raising fears that the aircraft failed to dump sensitive data.
FOX News quoted a former intelligence official as saying that CIA's
comprehensive, 10-week review was unable to replicate the
"malfunction" that brought down the RQ-170 Sentinel drone in Iran.
The report supports Iran's claims that the reconnaissance was
cyberjacked by the army's electronic warfare unit and eased to a
safe landing while deep in Iranian territory on December 4."

A quote...."India figured as Iran’s number one crude oil customer in
January. That may be difficult to believe but it is indeed a
statement of fact. Actually, India stepped up its imports of Iranian
oil by 37.5 percent, which helped Iran offset a 50 percent cut in
Chinese purchases resulting from a dispute in pricing. China now
imports around 250000 barrels a day as against India’s 550000
barrels a day, according to a Wall Street Journal report."

Monsanto and genetic modification by destroying 1000 acres of maize
found to have been grown with genetically modified seeds, according

Hungary is a nation where genetically modified (GM) seeds are
banned. In a similar stance against GM ingredients, Peru has also
passed a 10 year ban on GM foods."
