Obama Authorizes Killing Americans Domestically
Must Read - A quote...."Rogue leaders overstep. They never quit. Tyranny in America is hardwired. Bush authorized it for eight years. Obama exceeds his worst policies. He masquerades as people friendly. - He does so fraudulently. American freedom is vanishing. It's doing so in plain sight. Obama usurped diktat power. His word alone is policy. It replaced rule of law principles. Tyrants operate that way." - Source:  SteveLendman

US-British Al Qaeda Airlift: 3,000 Tons of Weapons Fuel Syria's Destruction
A quote...."The primary reason, we are told, that the West must immediately begin wider operations to support the so-called Syrian rebels, is to head off extremists, namely Al Qaeda, from overrunning Syria. This narrative has been sold for nearly a year now, as it has become evidently clear that all major offensives in Syria against the Syrian people and their government have been led by Al Qaeda terrorist fronts, including most notoriously, Jabhat al-Nusra." -  also posted at BLN

West's Legitimacy Collapses as it Props up Hostage-Taking Terrorists
A quote...."(IOGSD-Cartalucci) - The so-called "Syrian rebels" have taken dozens of UN peacekeepers hostage, demanding the Syrian Army withdraw its troops from its own nation's territory. The UN has confirmed that their peacekeepers are indeed being held hostage by what they call "rebels," and has demanded their release."

If the Taliban are not responsible for 9-11, then why are we still fighting them?
A quote...."For it to be the longest war in American history, it’s difficult to explain what the Afghanistan War is really about. Just like in Iraq, the reasons used to justify this war have changed over the years because people are either too arrogant or too ignorant to admit a mistake. There really is no clear mission. And it will be virtually impossible for the US government to ever know when “victory” is achieved. An important question remains: Did any Taliban, or any Afghan for that matter, have anything to do with 9-11? The answer is a resounding ‘No’. The 9-11 attackers were Arab, mostly Saudis and Emiratis. The Taliban are Afghan, and have no ethnic relation to Arabs. The Taliban also played no role in 9-11, and were mostly unaware of what al Qaeda had planned from within the borders of Afghanistan."

Army suspends tuition assistance program for troops
Well, all you ladies and gentlemen in uniform out there, you truly have done your level best for the Bankster/AIPAC/Israel PNAC Program.  You've obliterated or destroyed five countries so far and are set to finish off the remaining three, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran. Therefore your "Jewish" (80% - 90% Caucasoid Kazarian) masters in Tel Aviv wish to congratulate you for all your efforts -- (not really, as Henry Kissinger once said, and as most "Jews" actually feel...."[US] Military men [and women] are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.", but this website editor felt it was a nice thought) -- but, since their Colonial lackeys in their North American Coloy have to cut expenses somewhere while this whole operation winds down, it should come as no surprise they've determined that it's better your programs get cut than any of those for the Banksters or Israel. So thanks again and have a nice life folks. - mpg

"This Trinity of Evil [The US-NRE, Israel & the Saudi Royals] probably began to see how a mutually beneficial Faustian bargain could be struck as early as the 1970s.  After the US-NRE went off the gold standard and it's currency was about to become worthless, after Israel proved its military powers during the 1973 war, the Saudi Royals realized they would have to make some sort of accommodation.  And so they agreed to recycle their petro-dollars through the US-NRE's and Britain's banks probably for a guarantee that they would not be attacked by Israel.  ---  Concurrently around the same time, all three countries began to rapidly radicalize elements of their populations.  Israel of course begin to foment a philosophy of lebensraum that would make even the Nazis blush while members of the Jewish Community in the US-NRE began to vigorously promote the US-NRE's strange faux-Christian, Zionist supporting (or even worshiping) “Armageddon” cult while of course the Saudi Royals massively increased their support for radical Islam everywhere, but specifically in what is now called the "arch of instability"  ---  These plans were actually written down more than thirty years ago, they were to be the blueprints of the US-NRE's "long war" their "thirty years war" of  full spectrum dominance across the globe." -- *One Vile, Venom Tipped, Taloned Hand Washes the Other - (a.k.a.

Psychiatric Drug Adverse Reactions (Side Effects) and Medication Spellbinding
A quote...."Dr. Peter Breggin’s new concept of medication spellbinding provides insights into why so many people take psychiatric drugs when the drugs are doing more harm than good. Psychiatric drugs, and all other drugs that affect the mind, spellbind the individual by masking their adverse mental effects from the individual taking the drugs. If the person experiences a mental side effect, such as anger or sadness, he or she is likely to attribute it to something other than drug, perhaps blaming it on a loved one or on their own “mental illness.” Often people taking psychiatric drugs claim to feel better than ever when in reality their mental life and behavior is impaired. In the extreme, medication spellbinding leads otherwise well-functioning and ethical individuals to commit criminal acts, violence or suicide."

"The 44-year-old British resident and father of four has spent over 11 years incarcerated at Guantánamo despite being cleared for release as early as 2007. To this day never charged with a crime, Aamer is just one of hundreds of detainees who remain imprisoned in Guantánamo. Despite running on an explicit campaign promise to shut down the island prison which has become a symbol of the abuses of the "war on terror", President Obama has continued to preside over its operation."

Looking out for Number One while Drowning in Number Two.
A quote...."Things like this are happening at every level of the corporate to consumer realm and there is no end to the degree of squeeze. They will squeeze and squeeze, until the dry husk of the vampirized public crumbles to dust at the final squeeze. They are vampires. It may be different than the classical personification but everything in operation and application is exactly the same. This terrible insanity has found it's way into the lifestyles and behavior modalities of the population. It's some kind of variant on the Stockholm Syndrome. This is counterpointed by that vile aggregate of Christian Zionists who have been brainwashed to such a point that they are unreachable in terms of true reality. They are wandering in a vast and endless swamp, following will of the wisps and those strange lights, composed of swamp gas and air bourne madnesses. They are doomed and dreaming of a rapture that will not come. The Jesus Christ they believe in, is no more real than the one the atheists do not believe in."

A Message To The 'Left' From A 'Right Wing Extremist'
Quote of the Day...."Some discoveries are exciting, joyful, and exhilarating, while others can be quite painful.  Stumbling upon the fact that you do not necessarily have a competent grasp of reality, that you have in fact been duped for most of your life, is not a pleasant experience.  While it may be a living nightmare to realize that part of one’s life was, perhaps, wasted on the false ideas of others, enlightenment often requires that the worldview that we were indoctrinated with be completely destroyed before we can finally resurrect a tangible identity and belief system.  To have rebirth, something must first die..." - Source:  AltMarket

The lies justifying their psychopathic actions have become so lame, it would be laughable if the situation was less grim. -- Don’t get me wrong. I’m not one of those people who believe that America only recently has turned bad. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a country born in genocide, slavery and wars of aggression. No other country, over the course of the past 150 years, has been involved in more wars and has murdered more foreign citizens. Its two main parties have proven to be little more than rivaling mobster clans, colluding to rape and plunder their own country and the rest of the world. The Republican mob represents the fascist wing of the New World Order, old bloodlines of European aristocracy intermarried with their Court Jews. The Democrat mob, on the other hand, represents the Judeo-Bolshevik wing of the New World Order, aiming for Jewish world domination and the extinction or enslavement of all non-Jews. -- The current push for disarming the American people is a tell-tale sign that things are about to get worse. You only need to look back at history, what happens after governments disarm their populations."

More Tales From the Zio-Sphere....

‘AIPAC is lobbying America to go to war with Iran’
RTVideo - Alt - (RTYuTb - 4min18sec - Mar 4, 2013) - Source:  21stCenturyWireTV -- A quote..."RT: “Israel could become the first-ever nation to enjoy the official status of America’s ‘major strategic ally’. This, among other things, could mean the U.S. would be obliged to support any potential Israeli offensive against Iran. The proposed legislation is to be discussed at the annual American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee gathering about to kick-off in Washington. Despite the significance of such a move, neither of the leaders of the two countries are attending. Geopolitical analyst Patrick Henningsen says this could be a sign the Israeli lobby is losing influence."

AIPAC Conference Promotes War
A quote...." On March 3, AIPAC's 2013 conference began. It "Celebrat(es) 65 Years of Friendship." It's nothing to be admired. - It supports war, occupation, exploitation and dominance. It deplores peace, equity and justice. - It's contemptuous of fundamental human rights. It believes Jews are God's chosen people. It thinks Arabs are subhumans. It favors eliminating them altogether. War is its instrument of choice. - Washington again was venue. A rogue's gallery of participants attended. Warmongering speeches were featured. AIPAC does it annually."

Israel and the Zionist Regime Sponsor Terrorism
A quote...."Let us turn the table around and ask simple questions. Did Iran support the terrorist organization named the MEK like the Zionist regime in Israel and in the United States did?[7] Did Iran train the MEK in Nevada like former president Bush did?[8] Did Iran bomb Iranian scientists like Israel did?[9] -- Did Iran support terrorist groups such as Lashkar-e-Jhangvi which have killed more than 80 people in Pakistan like the Zionist regime did?[10] Did Iran violate the laws of war during the massacre in Gaza in November 2012?[11] -- Does Iran have a monopoly on the West Bank, which has been considered “the biggest single threat to the two-state solution”?[12] -- Did Iranian officials pronounce that their government wants to work with Sunni terrorists like Israeli ex-intelligence Amos Yadlin has recently declared?[13] Did Iran work with Saudi Arabia’s terrorist groups such as the Sunnis in order to undermine Iran and Syria like the United States and Israel have done?[14]"

The Israel Lobby at its Intimidating Worst – in Britain
A quote...."For the last month, the country’s Jewish machers have been smearing a member of Parliament as an anti-Semite with the sort of cynicism and relentlessness that could make their American counterparts envious. Chuck Hagel, meet David Ward. - A month ago, on the eve of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Ward, an MP from the Liberal Democratic party, posted this statement on his website...."

"Having visited Auschwitz twice – once with my family and once with local schools – I am saddened that the Jews, who suffered unbelievable levels of persecution during the Holocaust, could within a few years of liberation from the death camps be inflicting atrocities on Palestinians in the new State of Israel and continue to do so on a daily basis."

"Does that sound anti-Semitic? To the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the Jewish Leadership Council and other stalwart communal bodies, it most certainly does. They immediately seized on Ward’s use of the term “the Jews” to accuse him of being an anti-Semite...." - Yes but, A)  They're not Semitic, and therefore  B)   They're not "Jews" according to the State of Israel - See....Get Your Facts Straight - 02-27-13 - mpg

Yet Another Estimate of When Iran Will Have the Bomb…
Israel's Lies Itemized - (A handy dandy reference guide) -- A quote...."McClatchy reports that Israel now believes Iran will not be able to produce a nuclear weapon until 2015 or 2016.  That is progress of a sort; Netanyahu had previously been claiming that Iran would have the bomb no later than late summer 2013 — around six months from now.  But Israel is still insisting that Iran is only two or three years away from nuclear capability, so I think it is useful to recall and update the timeline I mentioned early last year of breathless Israeli and Western claims about Iran’s nuclear program...."

The Holocaust bomb, a ‘re-revisionist myth’
Another Israeli Lie - This one's a whopper! - A quote...."Two new studies, both out of Israel, have the world spinning. One, released by the Holocaust Memorial Museum, places Europe’s Jewish population in 1939 at between 40 and 50 million, with up to 20 million holocaust dead."

No! No!  Europe was actually filled with nothing BUT Jews, those perfidious Germans and the other Europeans were only a tiny, little, minority who somehow managed to kill the 500 million Jews of Europe.  Now Israel can lay claim to all of the EU!!  Let the occupations begin!! - mpg - (extrm sarc)

There Is No Business Like Shoa Business
Related Article - A quote...."Astonishing new research shows Nazi camp network targeting Jews was twice as big as previously thought.” But The Independent was quick and kind enough to give us an insight into the  implications of this new Shoa affair. “The team behind the research, based at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC, told The Independent that they believe the evidence could also be crucial to survivors trying to bring cases for [additional] compensation against Germany and other countries for time spent in camps whose existence was hitherto obscure or undocumented.” -- Legendary (and very perceptive) Israeli diplomat Abba Eban had already sussed it out in the 1950s when he told us that: “There’s no business like Shoa business”"

‘You’re not allowed to use public transportation at all’: A report from Israel’s segregated buses
A quote...."Editor's Note: The following report is from February 28, 2013. Although it was reported that Israel would begin segregating bus service in the West Bank starting March 4, the practice has been in effect for much longer. Yeshua-Lyth explained in an email: "The practice of banning Palestinians from public buses has been in evidence for months. News of plans for 'Palestinian only' buses were in the Israeli press already in November. It seems that the coercing and harassment have the purpose of 'educating' Palestinians about the way to choose public transport....."

Whitewashing Israeli Murder by Torture – by Stephen Lendman
A quote...."Torture is official Israeli policy. It’s longstanding. Palestinian suffering explains best. Thousands every year are subjected to cruel and inhumane treatment. Their physical and emotional scars bear witness. -- Accountability is long overdue. Arafat Jaradat is Israel’s latest victim. Israel tortured him to death. His body bore clear signs. Autopsy evidence proved it. -- Severe upper body bruising, blisters, and blot clots were visible. Multiple broken bones in his neck, ribs, spine, arms and legs were discovered. -- Israel initially attributed his death to cardiac arrest." - Source:  SteveLendman

On Torture in Israel
Related Article - A quote...."Torture allegations against the treatment of Palestinians detainees in Israeli prisons make headlines again. Few days after his arrest, Arafat Jaradat died in Israeli custody. On February 27, the United Nations Special Rapporteur for human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Richard Falk, called for an international investigation on the death of Palestinian prisoner Jaradat while undergoing interrogation in an Israeli facility. Falk stressed that "the death of a prisoner during interrogation is always a cause for concern, but in this case, when Israel has shown a pattern and practice of prisoner abuse, the need for outside, credible investigation is more urgent than ever. The best approach might be the creation of an international forensic team under the auspices of the UN Human Rights Council."

Grounded F-35s: Israeli company fraudulently changed test results over 15 years - This one's for Michael Rivero

Americans – Like Nazi Germans – Don’t Notice that All of Our Rights Are Slipping Away
A quote...."In the classic history of Nazi Germany, They Thought They Were Free, Milton Mayer writes...."

“What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could not understand it, it could not be released because of national security. And their sense of identification with Hitler, their trust in him, made it easier to widen this gap and reassured those who would otherwise have worried about it."  ---   “This separation of government from people, this widening of the gap, took place so gradually and so insensibly, each step disguised (perhaps not even intentionally) as a temporary emergency measure or associated with true patriotic allegiance or with real social purposes. And all the crises and reforms (real reforms, too) so occupied the people that they did not see the slow motion underneath, of the whole process of government growing remoter and remoter."

"The German citizens were boiling frogs … the water heating up so gradually that they didn’t realize they had to jump out of the pot to safety."

The hundreds of thousands of leaked documents exposed U.S. war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as government misconduct. A statement that Manning made to the court was a powerful and moving treatise on the importance of placing conscience above personal safety, the necessity of sacrificing careers and liberty for the public good, and the moral imperative of carrying out acts of defiance. Manning will surely pay with many years—perhaps his entire life—in prison. But we too will pay. The war against Bradley Manning is a war against us all." - also posted at ICH

Fed Easy Credit End Becomes Debate Over QE3 Escape
A quote...."Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke says the end of the central bank’s bond buying won’t constitute a move toward tighter policy. He may have a tough time convincing stock and bond investors that’s true. -- The Fed is acquiring $85 billion of securities each month, and policy makers are grappling with how to condition markets not to interpret a stop in those purchases as a prelude to the exit from easy credit. Bernanke said Dec. 12 in Washington that he “would emphasize” the end won’t be “a turn to tighter policy.”" - one commentator stated....

"There is no way to do that. If there is easy credit, Wall Street will go on borrowing $85 billion a month regardless of what it is called. If the money is no longer there to borrow, credit must tighten. Like market rigging, QE may have started as a temporary fix but has now become a permanent part of the process, without which there will be an immediate collapse." -- *Michael Rivero*
