US Policy Vs. Syria Indicative of Exhausted Legitimacy
 Must Read - A quote...."The US State Department, and to a greater extent, US foreign policy itself, having exhausted completely their collective credibility, has attempted yet another "reset." By bringing in John Kerry to pose as the next US Secretary of State, it is hoped global opinion will see US foreign policy in a new, more tolerant light. Kerry, however, has wasted no time attempting to simply resell verbatim the same failed, absurd policy US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton destroyed her career peddling, spinning, and covering up - as finalized in the case of Benghazi, Libya." - also posted at ICH

US Moves Towards Open Arming Of "Syrian Rebels"
Note the title:  "US Moves Toward OPEN Arming of the "Syrian Rebels".  As EVERYONE knows, except the uniformed, stupid, what-me-worry, apathetic, uncaring, Amerikan public who continue to get their so-called "news" from the Corporate infotainment complex,  the US-NRE, in conjunction with the Saudi Royals, has been quietly  arming the radical, Sunni, Wahhabist, Jihadist, terrorist opposition in Syria for almost a decade. 

In the last two to three years, after receiving a green-light from Turkey's demented Erdogan, who believes he's some sort of new Muslim Arabic Khalīfah about to establish a new Turkish Caliphate (Where-ever do they GET these deluded moronic maniacs?)  they really stepped-up their collective support by massively supplying, and shipping, tens of thousands of foreign Wahhabist terrorists from across the Middle East to Syria. 

This website editor has recently seen some articles from the lame-stream propaganda-matrix about how the Obama administration is about to start supplying the "rebels" with weapons.  Total complete utter garbage, you'd think the writers of that junk would have more pride in themselves and would refuse to be a bunch of terrorist supporting war-mongering hacks.

Planeloads of Croatian Combat Weapons for Syria Al Qaeda Rebels
A quote...."The report on the weapons deal was undeniable; even the conservative New York Times said that this had been confirmed by “Western Officials;” it is safe to assume it referred to NATO. The decision to take out the 100 Croatian soldiers from the force came after that on February 25, the same newspaper reported that Saudi Arabia had underwritten a large purchase of infantry arms in Croatia. “According to United States and Western officials, in December arms left over from the Balkan wars of the 1990s began to reach rebels battling the forces of President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, via Jordan. Since then, officials said, several planeloads of weapons have left Croatia. Yugoslav weapons previously unseen in the conflict, including recoilless guns, assault rifles and machine guns, began to appear in videos posted by Syrian rebels on YouTube,” NYT reported."

U.S. Confirms Training The Terrorists
A quote...."That training mission has been underway since the U.S. sent special forces to the Syrian border in Jordan more than five month ago. We can be sure that Jordan special forces and the Turkish army have also trained some of the insurgents since quite early in the conflict. The "color revolution" media training for the insurgency propaganda was started even before the insurgency and was done, like in other countries, by U.S. financed groups."

The US built Al-Qaeda and Osama's encampments - exclusive interview Kathy Kelly
Interview - Contains Video - A quote...."Robles: Do most Americans know, or is the “man-in-the-street” in the United States right now, are they aware of the fact that al-Qaeda and the Taliban, and even Osama Bin Laden, got their start in a large part thanks to the United States when they were fighting against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan? Do Americans know that?"

"Kelly: Well, if they do it’s not because they heard it on the mainstream media, they would have had to do some investigating. One of the reasons why initially the United States knew where to bomb potential encampments for Osama Bin Laden and the al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, was because the United States built them....."

Types With Tired Fingers
A quote...."....common sense says that simply adopting the religion of the Sun Dance does not give me a claim to the lands of the United States. Were I to worship Ra (or Aten), likewise does not give me a claim to the lands of Egypt. Worshipping Sol Invictus does not give me claim to Italy. - And worshipping Yahweh does not give the Khazars any real right to Palestine. - Just something to think about."

US Congressman demands referendum in Balochistan
A quote...."Islamabad – US Congressman Dana Rohrabacher has requested a referendum to be held in Balochistan on the question of independence, which would challenge the claims by Islamabad that the Baloch want to be part of Pakistan." - Source: ANI
Knesset member Dana Rorabacher is a secret card carrying member of the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium.  He has very little direct contact with them and receives little support.  Yet -- he has been an avid and tireless supporter of the The PNAC Protocols - A Strategy For Israel in the 1980s. There isn't a single terrorist organization in the world he wouldn't support, a war he wouldn't vote for, or a nation-state he wouldn't tear-apart on behalf of his Israeli masters in Tel Aviv.  He is willing to spend as many American lives, and as much American treasure as it takes to do so. It is possible the Israelis have something on him that insures his loyalty to their plans, what that is, is anyone's guess.  Perhaps his past and prior associations should be examined to find out what it is.  For more on this issue see the articles and maps shown below.....

Is honesty the best policy? Look at the evidence
Some quotes....""Honesty is the best policy" and "cheaters never win" are among the best known sayings of all times, but are they true? Reality shows that society's reverence for these principles is betrayed by the fact that, all too often, it is the liars and cheaters we reward."  ---  "On the other hand, society often penalizes those who have the audacity to tell the truth. PJ Crowley was assistant secretary of State for public affairs when, in March 2011, he described the military's pre-trial treatment of Army Private Bradley Manning – the person alleged to have provided classified documents to WikiLeaks – as "ridiculous and counterproductive and stupid".

It’s Like Rooting for the Lions against the Christians
A quote...."February 28, 2013 "Information Clearing House" -  It’s astonishing that we have all these people out there—all these wildly opinionated, patriotic folks—who, without any prompting, will spontaneously burst into rhapsodic discourse about how much they admire the “checks and balances” written into the U.S. constitution by our genius Founding Fathers, but who, alas, express nothing but contempt for the working man’s best friend: labor unions. -- When you try to compare those constitutional checks and balances with the de facto “checks and balances” (in the form of resistance) that labor unions contribute to the economy, these people go ape-shit. They become emotional. It’s like we’re suddenly talking about confiscating their guns. These pilgrims will defend the most gargantuan and predatory corporation before they’ll acknowledge even a modest contribution from a labor union."  -- Marxists call it "false consciousnesses", others call it the "Stockholm syndrome", most people just call it "being stupid". - mpg

The Oft-Predicted Fickle Syrian ‘Tipping Point’ Has Tipped
Special Note - A quote...."Damascus — This observer lost count more than a year ago of the sheer number of predictions by analysts and lobbyists that the “tipping point” signaling the Assad government’s collapse was a sure thing and would happen any time now. “It’s just a matter of days, not weeks” President Obama declared back in 2011. Based on personal observations and interviews with a fair number of informed people who actually live in Syria, as opposed to the Zionist think tank armchair “expert” variety, this observer concedes that prognosticators are finally right. In point of fact, I have concluded over the past few months that the long elusive “tipping point” in Syria has indeed been reached and the momentum has shifted decisively in this embattled [country].  --  But not the tipping point that the rebel promoters were hoping for, including the NATO countries. Rather, the momentum here has tipped in favor of the current regime due to its capacity to maintain a slowly rising level of popular support, and good relations with key foreign supporters during the current run up to next year’s Presidential election."

It’s a policy that, from the U.S. point of view, may not be unrelated to the pivot to China,  given China‘s growing market and aid presence in Africa.  Together, the scramble and the pivot will be sufficient to offset the near term effect of an sequester in the Pentagon with a torrent of money flows in the future." - also posted at ICH

Flu shots during pregnancy lead to 4,250 percent increase in fetal deaths
A quote...."(NaturalNews) For years, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has maintained that the combined influenza vaccine, which was first administered during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic flu season, is perfectly safe and actually encouraged for pregnant women. But a new study published in the journal Human and Environmental Toxicology (HET) reveals that, following the mass administration of the untested dual vaccine, which contains the mercury-based preservative Thimerosal, miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women who received it skyrocketed by an astounding 4,250 percent."

And in many cases, doctors and nurses administer half a dozen or more vaccines all at once during a single visit to make sure children get all these shots and to save time. But according to data compiled from the government’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), as many as 145,000 children or more have died throughout the past 20 years as a result of this multiple vaccine dose approach, and few parents are aware of this shocking fact." - Source: NaturalNews

BPA Damages Cell Function, Found in Fetuses at High Levels

This chemical is extremely prevalent in the environment, and researchers note that 90% of the U.S. population is ‘contaminated’ with the chemical and don’t even know it. To add to the mounting evidence of BPA’s damaging effects, two studies have concluded that the endocrine-disrupting chemical damages cell pathways and is found in fetuses at significant levels – an indicator of a mother’s exposure and the body’s inability to rid itself of the dangerous chemical."  - also posted at FromTheTrenches

A quote...."February 26, 2013 "Information Clearing House" - WASHINGTON, Feb 25 2013 (IPS) - “Going to Tehran” arguably represents the most important work on the subject of U.S.-Iran relations to be published thus far. - Flynt Leverett and Hillary Mann Leverett tackle not only U.S. policy toward Iran but the broader context of Middle East policy with a systematic analytical perspective informed by personal experience, as well as very extensive documentation. - More importantly, however, their exposé required a degree of courage that may be unparalleled in the writing of former U.S. national security officials about issues on which they worked. They have chosen not just to criticise U.S. policy toward Iran but to analyse that policy as a problem of U.S. hegemony."

IAEA Report Confirms Iran’s Peaceful Nuclear Program
Quote of the Day...."It’s no surprise. It’s been that way for years. Iran’s legally entitled to enrich uranium. Dozens of other countries do the same thing. - Tehran alone is criticized. Managed news misinformation begets more of it. Washington, Israel, and European partner collaborators repeat it ad nauseam. - They lie. They know they’re lying. They repeat what they know is false. Media scoundrels regurgitate it. Doing so makes them complicit."

The Coming Collapse of Iran Sanctions
A quote...."Western policymakers and commentators wrongly assume that sanctions will force Iranian concessions in nuclear talks that resume this week in Kazakhstan—or perhaps even undermine the Islamic Republic’s basic stability in advance of the next Iranian presidential election in June.  Besides exaggerating sanctions’ impact on Iranian attitudes and decision-making, this argument ignores potentially fatal flaws in the U.S.-led sanctions regime itself—flaws highlighted by ongoing developments in Europe and Asia, and that are likely to prompt the erosion, if not outright collapse of America’s sanctions policy."

Anti-Semite? Moi?
Must Read - A quote...."What was that thing you said, Abe Foxman, director of the Anti-Defamation League? You know, that really dramatic thing you said in the speech you recently made in Palm Beach, where you blamed the internet for the recent rise in ‘anti-Semitism’ around the world, and how you couldn’t remember ever being so ‘seriously concerned about the safety and security’ of your grandson because of it? - Well, what do you know, Abe…miracles do exist. There is actually something upon which you and I can agree. You see, I too have never been so afraid for the future of my progeny, and the source of my worry also stems from the recent rise in anti-Semitism."

Marbury v. Madison - US Supreme Court Decision that any law that violates the Constitution is automatically void
Special Note - Just a reminder to those who keep stating "that the government can now [place action here] under the NDAA" - No....they can't. If the act directly contradicts the constitution it is "null and void" ....and therefore illegal.  There is NO DIFFERENCE between anyone under "color of law" trying to illegally assault you or attempting to murder you, and a criminal trying to do the same....and you have the right UNDER THE LAW, in fact you have the legal duty, to defend yourself and shoot them dead. - mpg - another commentator stated....
"We live under a government that passes unconstitutional laws, then drags its feet when hauled before the Supreme Court to test that law's Constitutionality. But under Marbury v. Madison, the US Supreme Court ruled that any law that violates the Constitution is automatically void. And under John Bad Elk vs United States, any citizen has a right to resist with lethal force any violation of their civil rights by the application of unconstitutional laws." -- *Michael Rivero*

As eager as rulers are to steal and murder, they are equally eager to lie to their people to get what they want."

They spot Gary Gensler, Chairman of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, on BBC News seemingly incapable of understanding that Libor rigging is 'fraud' and not merely a 'fiction' as he suggests. In the second half of the show, Max Keiser talks to renowned mathematician and monetary scientist, Professor Antal Fekete, about the gold basis - cash versus the nearest futures contract and why that the cash price for gold is never reported is by design.

You kill anything growing. And you drench the fields again in the spring, before you plant. Then, just as you're going to plant, you hit the fields a third time with the poison. - This is in addition to all the sprayings with Roundup, which is toxic, too."

Two Latest GE-Related Health Threats: 'Monster Salmon,' and Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria from GE Experiments Found in Chinese Waterways  -- A quote...."Fish — and salmon in particular — has always been an ideal source for the animal-based omega-3 fats EPA and DHA, but as levels of pollution have increased, fish in general have become less viable as a primary source of healthful fats. - Soon, there will be even more to worry about as salmon is getting a genetic makeover."

Bioaccumulation
A quote...."Bioaccumulation is the reason that cigarettes made fro tobacco grown in cheap mined mineral fertilizer cause cancer. The cheap fertilizer contains radioactive polonium 210, which concentrates in the tobacco leaves, is inhaled into the body, stays there, and eventually triggers cancerous mutations. Organically grown tobacco avoids this problem. - But it occurred to me the other day, what other crops are being grown using that same cheap mined mineral fertilizer? Because bioaccumulation would also apply to those plants just as it does to tobacco...."

Mysterious new disease striking young women, symptoms mimic demonic possession
A quote..."(NaturalNews) More disturbing evidences of vaccine-induced brain damage are emerging in the U.S. as primarily young women are increasingly developing a mysterious autoimmune condition known as anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis that exhibits symptoms similar to demonic possession. According to a recent report by CBS Philly, young women who develop the condition may act normally one minute, and the next minute develop extreme paranoia or an inability to control their limbs, which experts admit is a result of antibodies attacking the brain, causing swelling and inflammation." - also posted at PrisonPlanet

Why Do Doctors Push Vaccines?

What can I do to prove I really am trying to keep my children and myself healthy without vaccines?” - I thought those were great questions...."

Dead French Photographer was State Department-Funded – Embedded With Al Qaeda  [al-CIA'da]
A quote...."Further indication of the depraved nature of the West’s campaign against Syria, and the depraved nature of its institutions, methods, and faux-NGOs, vindicating a growing trend of ejecting Western “journalists” and NGO’s from an ever increasing number of nations, it is revealed that a French photographer recently killed in Syria was embedded with terrorist militants in Idlib, northern Syria, and was working on behalf of the US State Department’s National Endowment for Democracy (NED) funded “Reporters Without Borders.”"

Afghanistan, Garden of Empire: America’s Multibillion Dollar Opium Harvest
A quote...."As Obama proclaims that the US adventure in Afghanistan will draw to a close over the next couple years, we may look at the balance sheet with respect to one of the occupation’s alleged justifications: the fight against Afghan heroin. The outcome has been a total failure. In fact, whereas Afghanistan is sometimes referred to as the “graveyard of empires” because throughout history, big powers have attempted, unsuccessfully, to invade and control it, the country can already be labeled as the “garden of empire” because the US/NATO occupation has resulted in a drastic increase in drug production." - Topix ||  US Support - Drug Trade  ||

Afghanistan President Accuses U.S. Special Forces of Torture
A quote...." February 24, 2013 "Information Clearing House" - (Los Angeles Times) - February 24, 2013. - Afghanistan - Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Sunday ordered U.S. special forces troops to cease operations in a strategic eastern province, accusing the Americans and Afghans working for them of torturing and abducting civilians. - Karzai's office charged that a university student who was detained during a U.S. operation in Wardak province, southwest of Kabul, was later found with his head and fingers cut off. In another case, U.S. forces are accused of detaining nine villagers, who are still missing." - bold by website editor
Amerika's mommies and daddies must be soooooo proud of what they're sons and daughters are doing. Just remember folks, it NEVER stopped. US-NRE forces have been torturing and murdering people throughout the Middle East and North Africa for more than twelve years now. - mpg
Rebels Stand Alone
A quote...."Although history has vindicated resistance groups such as the White Rose and plotters such as von dem Bussche, they were desperately alone, reviled by the wider public and forced to defy the law, their oaths of national allegiance, and public opinion. The resisters, once exposed, were condemned in vitriolic terms by most of the German public, and their lopsided trials were state-choreographed lynchings. Von dem Bussche said that even after the war he was spat upon as he walked down a city street. He and those like him who made a moral choice to physically defy evil teach us something extremely important about rebellion. It is, when it begins, not safe, comfortable or popular. Those rare individuals who have the moral and physical courage to resist must accept that they will be pariahs. They must live outside the law. And they must be prepared to be condemned." - also posted at ICH

Our Man in Iran - How the CIA and MI6 installed the Shah
A quote...."New histories of the agency, drawing on recently released classified information and memoirs by retired spies, provide a more complex picture of the CIA, its effectiveness, and its overall power, suggesting that at times Langley was manned not by James Bond clones but by a bunch of keystone cops. My favorite clandestine CIA operation, recounted in Tim Weiner's Legacy of Ashes, involves its 1994 surveillance of the newly appointed American ambassador to Guatemala, Marilyn McAfee. When the agency bugged her bedroom, it picked up sounds that led agents to conclude that the ambassador was having a lesbian love affair with her secretary. Actually, she was petting her two-year-old black standard poodle." - also posted at ICH

Oscar Prints the Legend: Argo’s Upcoming Academy Award and the Failure of Truth
A quote...."If nothing else, “Argo” is an exercise in American exceptionalism – perhaps the most dangerous fiction that permeates our entire society and sense of identity.  It reinvents history in order to mine a tale of triumph from an unmitigated defeat.  The hostage crisis, which lasted 444 days and destroyed an American presidency, was a failure and an embarrassment for Americans.  The United States government and media has spent the last three decades tirelessly exacting revenge on Iran for what happened."

Polluted America
A quote...."Democracy is polluted with special interests and corrupt politicians. -- Accountability is polluted with executive branch exemptions from law and the Constitution and with special legal privileges for corporations, such as the Supreme Court given right to corporations to purchase American elections. -- The Constitution is polluted with corrupt legal interpretations from the Bush and Obama regimes that have turned constitutional prohibitions into executive branch rights, transforming law from a shield of the people into a weapon in the hands of government. -- Waters are polluted with toxic waste spills, oil spills, chemical fertilizer run-off with resulting red tides and dead zones, acid discharges from mining with resulting destructive algae such as prymnesium parvum, from toxic chemicals used in fracking and with methane that fracking releases into wells and aquifers, resulting in warnings to homeowners near to fracking operations to open their windows when showering." - Source:  PaulCraigRoberts

How the End of Empire comes, not with a bang, but with a whimper
Special Note - A quote...."When Moody’s downgraded the UK’s sovereign credit rating last week it was something of an anti-climax. -- The ratings agencies long ago lost what little credibility they ever had. Being downgraded by Moody’s is like being called a moron by a moron; ask anyone who has ever set foot in a bond dealing room– the ratings agencies are always behind the curve. -- The UK has been on the skids, credit-wise, for years. Britain’s debt to GDP has gone through the roof. We, and generations to come, will be left with the reckoning. -- We’ve seen this before in history....." - also posted at ZeroHedge

Matt Taibbi: Mary White As Head Of SEC Puts Fox In Charge Of Hen House
Photo - (Great photo) -- A quote...."I was shocked when I heard that Mary Jo White, a former U.S. Attorney and a partner for the white-shoe Wall Street defense firm Debevoise and Plimpton, had been named the new head of the SEC. -- I thought to myself: Couldn't they have found someone who wasn't a key figure in one of the most notorious scandals to hit the SEC in the past two decades? And couldn't they have found someone who isn't a perfect symbol of the revolving-door culture under which regulators go soft on suspected Wall Street criminals, knowing they have million-dollar jobs waiting for them at hotshot defense firms as long as they play nice with the banks while still in office?"

How Jack “Bailout Bonus” Lew Got to Treasury
A quote...."As I and many others have pointed out for years, unless you are a crony Wall Street welfare queen you can pretty much forget about any high level position in the Obama Administration.  Barack made that clear from day one when he decided to surround himself with two of the people at the core of the 2008 financial crisis, Larry Summers and Tim Geithner.  The trend is simply continuing with the current nominee for Treasury Secretary: Jack “Bailout Bonus” Lew.

Lies, Damned Lies, And Banks: Deutsche Bank Caught Again

It’s writing down assets and setting up reserves to settle these allegations."

The Banks Show No Mercy: 10 Foreclosure Horror Stories That Will Blow Your Mind

127 corporations that want to "Fix the Debt" by gutting your retirement
Financial Alert - A quote...."The Campaign to Fix the Debt is the latest incarnation of a decades-long effort by former Nixon man turned Wall Street billionaire Pete Peterson to slash earned benefit programs such as Social Security and Medicare under the guise of fixing the nation's "debt problem." Through this special report -- and in partnership with The Nation magazine -- the Center for Media and Democracy exposes the funding, the leaders, the partner groups, and phony state "chapters" of this $60 million "astroturf supergroup," whose goal is to achieve a grand bargain on austerity by July 4, 2013.[1]" - One commentator stated.....
"This is completely disgusting. - Every bit of Social Security has been deducted from working Americans' paychecks over an average working lifetime, and it was expected that the US government would be the guardian of those funds until people retired, and returned to them as a cushion for retirement. - Apparently, this government, enabled by the malfeasance these corporations are attempting to see enacted, has decided that Social Security and Medicare are purely a tax, to be placed on the American people, but never returned to them in benefits." -- *Michael Rivero*

Meet The Biggest Winner From Today's Italian Elections
A quote...."It may come as a surprise to some, but the largest single party in the Italian Chamber as a result of today's elections, when stripping away all alliance partners, is none other than Beppe Grillo's Movimento 5 Stelle. With 25.53% of the votes (96.44% of the vote counted), the comedian/blogger/counterestablishmentarian/contrarian received more votes than either Bersani's Democratic Party which got 25.51%, and Berlusconi's Popolo Della Liberta, which got 21.44%. Congratulations to both him, and to the Italian people who made the most symbolic vote of all: that they are done with a broken statist status quo, and that despite engrained beliefs to the contrary, there is a third alternative to the fake Party A-Party B paradigm."
