Across the Universe: The Power of Disillusionment and the Politics of Despair
Must Read - A quote...."Politics -- the machinations of the stunted, damaged souls and third-rate minds who hanker for power -- is just a small part of life. It entirely lacks the tragic element; nothing tragic or depthful about politics and power, it's just brute force, greed, ignorance and spite. So there is no deep meaning to be found in it. No tragedy; no real joy either. Even the greatest moments, the epiphanies -- and they do happen in politics on rare occasions, one must admit -- will lead very quickly back into the sewage. And that's OK, that's the way it is; sewage, waste management -- it's part of life. But it's not where meaning, joy, tragedy, the salt and savor of existence can be found. So why let the evil done by third-rate goobers drive you to despair of life itself? By hook, crook, lies and murder they've already amassed all kinds of power; why give them power over your very soul? " - also posted at Uruknet

Zionists Won't Let You See This On Your TV
Video - From the History File - September 19, 2008 - (YuTb - 6min 08sec - 09/19/08) - Source:  theevilofthezionists - A quote...."Here is the truth behind the middle east conflict. -- ask yourself: Why aren't Americans shown these honest facts on any of the over 1,700 major media outlets? -- and WHAT OTHER INFO IS BEING WITHELD? -- Rachel Corrie: 'a true hero' was killed by the state of Israel, and by its brutal regime that practises not only 'mass punishment' but also 'ethnic cleansing'. The same regime that has displaced over 4 million Palestinians, and killed many thousands. The same regime that has denied the right to self-determination to the Palestinian people. -- A regime that systematically destroys the lives of innocents every single DAY."

Congress, AIPAC-Israel and 9/11
Special Note - A quote...."This week, most members of congress, 100% of the new “Tea Party,” swore allegiance to the State of Israel.  To those of us at Veterans Today, we have a problem with this.  We have never been all that enthusiastic about Congress in the first place.  They are a gutless bunch who feather their own nests, finance their campaigns with laundered drug money and have turned Washington into a modern day Gomorrah, a city of rent boys and call girls. -- We have a few issues to pick with Israel." - also posted at RedactedNews

Global unpopularity wearing down Israeli government
False Flag Warning - (and we ALL know why! - mpg) -- A quote...."Benjamin Netanyahu's advisers conceded last week that the Israeli prime minister is more downcast than they have ever seen him. The reason for his gloominess is to be found in Israel's diplomatic and strategic standing, which some analysts suggest is at its lowest ebb in living memory."

7/7 Inquest: Was someone afraid to reveal the causes of deaths?
A quote...."It is quite startling to realise that a special room had been set up to receive the dead of the 7 July 2005 bombings in a temporary morgue built on army land, the contract for which (see Note [1] below) arrived on the contractor’s desk on 6 July 2005, the day before the massacres. -- All the bodies of the dead were taken and placed in cold-storage there. -- Not until the Inquest, five years later, did startled lawyers acting on behalf of the victim-families get to hear, that NO POST MORTEMS had been performed on the dead. -- Let us repeat this astonishing statement, the better to realise our own astounded bafflement:"

Humanitarian Pays With Life for Feeding the Children of Iraq
Special Note - A quote...."February 26, 2011, marks the eighth anniversary of the imprisonment of Dr. Rafil Dhafir. Dhafir continues to pay the price for feeding the children of Iraq during the US- and UK-sponsored UN sanctions against that country. -- According to the United Nations' own statistics, every month throughout the 1990's, 6,000 children under the age of five in Iraq were dying from lack of food and access to simple medicines. Three senior UN officials resigned because of what they considered a "genocidal" policy of sanctions against Iraq. Dhafir's charity, Help the Needy (HTN), openly sent food and medicines to starving civilians in Iraq during the brutal embargo. -- Seven government agencies investigated Dhafir and HTN for many years. They intercepted his mail, email, faxes and telephone calls; bugged his office and hotel rooms; went through his trash; and conducted physical surveillance. They were unable to find any evidence of links to terrorism, and no charges of terrorism were ever brought against Dhafir. Yet he and other HTN associates were subjected to high-profile arrests in the early morning of February 26, 2003, just weeks before the US invasion of Iraq." - also posted at AlethoNews

Henry Kissinger; a Loathsome Toad
Quote of the Day...."Henry Kissinger is a loathsome toad. I think that pretty much covers everything that need be said. He is the protégé of Nelson Rockefeller, another one of the most evil men of the last century. He and his brother David are book-ending demons on one of the shelves in Hell’s library, where those so inclined go to read for a few hours of torment. Henry probably was a regular there. It’s where he came from. -- There are some pure psychopaths that you can spot just by looking at them. Donald Rumsfield is one, Ehud Barak and Olmert also. Henry Kissinger is one. Henry gives me the impression of a creature that burrows through the brains of dead serial killers in search of special nutrition."

AT&T to cap users’ Internet access, impose fees for too much information
Web Under Threat - A quote...."Telecommunications giant AT&T said this week that it will join Comcast and other providers in a controversial business model that limits the amount of information subscribers can access, and imposes penalties for overages." - You know what the good news on this is, all those complex web pages with their flashy gaphics, distracting videos, pop-up windows and various advertisements, almost all on commercial sites, will use up everybody's bandwidth limitation real fast.  Whereas sites like this will hardly use up any at all.  In other words the stupid bovine cud chewing public which goes to the commercial mass-media sites, along with the commercial mass-media sites themselves, will be collectively shooting themselves in the foot.....EXCELLENT!! - mpg

A quote...."....Saudi troops—said they had entered the island kingdom Monday at the request of the Bahraini government to safeguard the country’s infrastructure and provide space for a political solution. -- However, analysts said there was no apparent threat to infrastructure and that the intervention appeared to be a heavy-handed attempt to intimidate protesters who have built a tent city in Pearl Square, a roundabout in the capital, Manama, and erected roadblocks around Manama’s financial hub. -- “I don’t get it,” said Thomas Lippman, a Saudi expert at the Council on Foreign Relations. “I don’t believe for one minute that this was a collective response to a decision by the GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council] foreign ministers.” - Topix ||  One Vile, Venom Tipped, Taloned Hand Washes the Other -- (a.k.a.

A quote...."Thirty-five years ago, Dale G. Bridenbaugh and two of his colleagues at General Electric resigned from their jobs after becoming increasingly convinced that the nuclear reactor design they were reviewing -- the Mark 1 -- was so flawed it could lead to a devastating accident. -- Questions persisted for decades about the ability of the Mark 1 to handle the immense pressures that would result if the reactor lost cooling power, and today that design is being put to the ultimate test in Japan. Five of the six reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant, which has been wracked since Friday's earthquake with explosions and radiation leaks, are Mark 1s."

After Itamar: Exploring the cynical logic that makes everyone a target

Even President Barack Obama felt compelled to offer his “unequivocal condemnation” of the murders. For what it’s worth (very little), I offer my own denunciation of the killings. Murdering kids can not be justified on any human level. However, even if the motives of the killer seem obvious to everyone, journalists covering the incident must be reminded there is no hard evidence that a Palestinian terrorist committed the crime. No viable armed faction has taken credit, and Israeli police are even treating Thai workers as suspects." - also posted at AlethoNews

Power Concedes Nothing Without a Demand - Article also posted at ICH
Must Read - Quote of the Day...."The liberal class has busied itself with the toothless pursuits of inclusiveness, multiculturalism, identity politics and tolerance—a word Martin Luther King never used—and forgotten about justice. It naively sought to placate ideological and corporate forces bent on the destruction of the democratic state. The liberal class, like the misguided democrats in the former Yugoslavia or the hapless aristocrats in the Weimar Republic, invited the wolf into the henhouse. The liberal class forgot that, as Karl Popper wrote in “The Open Society and Its Enemies,” “If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.”

More on Japan's Nuclear Power Plants....

The Idiocy and Hubris of Engineers: Will GE Get Whacked for the Catastrophic Failure of its Nuke Plants in Fukushima? -- Must Read - A quote...."There is a worse problem though. Probably in an effort to keep the problem of nuclear waste hidden from the public, these plants feature huge pools of water up in the higher level of the containment building above the reactors, which hold the spent fuel rods from the reactor. These rods are still “hot” but besides the uranium fuel pellets, they also contain the highly radioactive and potentially biologically active decay products of the fission process--particularly radioactive Cesium 137, Iodine 131 and Strontium 90. (Some of GE's plants in the US feature this same design. The two GE Peach Bottom reactors near me, for example, each have two spent fuel tanks sitting above their reactors.) -- As Robert Alvarez, a former nuclear energy adviser to President Bill Clinton, has written, if these waste containers, euphemistically called “ponds,” were to be damaged in an explosion and lose their cooling and radiation-shielding water, they could burst into flame from the resulting burning of the highly flammable zirconium cladding of the fuel rods, blasting perhaps three to nine times as much of these materials into the air as was released by the Chernobyl reactor disaster. (And that’s if just one reactor blows!)" - bold by website editor - also posted at AlethoNews & Uruknet

BREAKING:  05:40 15/03/2011 -- A quote...."A fire at the fourth reactor of the Fukushima 1 nuclear power plant resulted in a leak of highly concentrated radiation, the Japanese premier said on Tuesday. -- Prime Minister Naoto Kan called on the citizens residing within the 20-km (13 miles) distance from the reactor to immediately leave this zone and those living more than 20-30 km (13-17 miles) from the NPP to stay in their houses, but to shut windows and doors."

BREAKING:  March 14, 2011 at 5:44 pm -- A quote...."Japanese officials have upgraded the nuclear alert level to a level 5 incident meaning that large quantities of radioactive material have been released and there is a high probability of significant public exposure. -- The alert level was raised after the nuclear fuel rods became completely exposed and the nuclear reactor completely lost its cooling ability. -- The size of the evacuation area has been expanded from a 20 KM radius to a 40 KM radius (about 25 miles) with the nuclear alert level upgrade." - bold by website editor

How the US-NATO Alliance has "Killed" Education in Iraq

A recent UNESCO report states that five of the 30 million Iraqis today are illiterate - even though the country in 1982 from the same UNESCO had received a prize for eradicating illiteracy! 40% of Iraqi children leave school at an early age because of the war: they must work to increase family income, or they are displaced with their families, or it's not safe for them to go to school. More than 400 academics have been murdered in a systematic campaign. -- U.S. officials like Paul Wolfowitz (Deputy Defense Secretary) called this unashamedly a policy of “state ending", the blunt destruction of each state they target. This policy also resulted into a lamentable state of public services: electricity, sewerage, water supply. Health care is a catastrophe. Prof. Saad Naji Jawad (Baghdad University) gave the audience some staggering figures. In a recently released report from the Iraqi Health Ministry it is said that since the invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2003 between 8000 and 9000 doctors have fled the country.

Their report of July 2009 hypothesizes that the GBU-39 bunker-buster bomb is packed with 75 kg of depleted uranium.  (A UNEP report also ambiguously refers to bunker-buster bombs containing depleted uranium.

Our Time of Universal Deceit Needs An Orwell
Must Read - A quote...."If we were to be blessed with a 21st century George Orwell, he would coin a new “speak” to apply to “support the troops.” Would he call this “Deceptive Speak”? Or would he be more clever? -- The words certainly deserve an Orwellian name. The catch-phrase was rolled out the minute the war started, which makes one wonder about its public relations origin. Who can oppose supporting the troops, at least before we learned from WikiLeaks and Abu Ghraib of the intentional killing of civilians and torturing of whoever happened to be rounded up in the various sweeps? All for the fun and games of it. -- “Support the troops” originated in the public relations department of the military/security complex. What “support the troops” really means is to support the profits of the armaments industry and the neoconservative ideology of US world hegemony. -- “Support the troops” is a clever PR slogan that causes Americans to turn a blind eye to the brutal exploitation of our soldiers and military families for profit and for an evil ideology."

Israel Collapsing; Not Quite....

A United Iran Against a Collapsing Israel
Special Note - A quote...."As the racist regime of Israel moves toward greater international isolation due to its aggressive, belligerent policies, Iran receives wider support from the world’s nations for its uncompromising resistance against the bullying superpowers and annulling their mischievous plots."

Israel isn't "collapsing" quite yet, not by a long shot.  In fact they haven't backed off from their sixty year plans of mayhem and murder one little bit.

Ten years ago they, along with elements inside the US-NRE, arranged for the false flag event known as 9/11.  An event they're still reaping vast rewards from such as their continuing commercial and military infiltration and encroachment into Kurdistan (what was once part of the now shattered Iraq), the aforesaid and long planned complete destruction of Iraq as a functioning "nation state", the almost total fracturing and marginalizing of the Palestinian movement, the possible de-nuclearization of Pakistan and even perhaps its long sought dissolution, the up-coming frame-up in Lebanon called the STL, continued largess from, and almost complete control of, the US-NRE through their Bankster minions and TBTF banks, along with several other advantages such as the receipt of substantial long term military aid packages along with the AIPAC/Israel Consortium's almost complete control of the US-NRE's mass-media.

However they are suffering a few set-backs. One of them would be the massive and sudden deterioration to their public image, much of it self-inflicted by their almost psychotic, homicidal, uncaring, arrogance. Such as the recent massacres they carried out against Gaza and the Gaza aid flotilla.  Set-backs they're already trying to ameliorate by creating a vast virtual army on the web to promulgate additional propaganda.

Another possible set-back to their plans may be the recent series of revolutions now sweeping across the Middle East, the Israelis of course simply intend to buy off or threaten any regime, new or old, that doesn't knuckle under to their demands.  They've already helped supply fifty thousand African mercenaries to Qaddafi, no doubt they're also assisting other regimes or co-opting elements within the revolutionary movements in the other countries (or even both, it's almost always best to play both sides against the middle) to further exert their control.

Another set-back....and a much more serious one....is their long planned US-NRE backed PNAC Protocols appear to have stalled out for the moment.

Primarily because the Bankster clan they currently employ to manage Israel's economic colony in North America, the nation state once known as the United States, have really messed up and now appear about to crash the entire US-NRE/AIPAC/Israeli Bankster system of fiat currency and paper printing that has enslaved much of this planet for the last sixty years .

A crash that will fuel a righteous and furious backlash in the US-NRE's peasant-goyum-slave population, much of which could conceivably (although not likely) be directed against the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium itself, the community that supports the Consortium, along with their bought and paid for automatons in Congress.

So Israel's immediate hopes for a Middle East mini-empire appear to be on hold for the moment, but only for the moment. There are a lot more false-flags to be carried out, wars to be started and many more millions to be murdered before Israel can finally rest on her laurels. - mpg

Dollar Quietly Losing Status as Safe Haven During Crisis

However, it now seems that the weight of fundamentals have finally surpassed prevailing perceptions where the dollar is no longer king of crisis investing."

An Economy on Steroids: US Poverty Levels Equal to the 1930s
A quote...."Wall Street at least temporarily relieved of the burden of having to buy Treasuries & Agency bonds, is looking at the jump in oil prices as nothing more than an irritant to their plans for a higher market. Bill Dudley of the NY Fed, a most powerful member, continues to make a vigorous defense of Federal Reserve policies. He, and a few other Fed participants, and Chairman Bernanke believe liquidity is the key for solving problems. That is not only in the realm of debt purchases, but in the relief it brings to Wall Street and banking. It relieves them of the responsibility of having to make those purchases to assist the Fed. Those funds can then be directed toward other investments, such as la liquidity-driven stock market rally. The correlation between the movements in the Fed balance sheet and market can be traced to 85% of market movement for the past 2-1/2 years."

The first shot across the bow at America's unions is now official. What happens in Wisconsin next is anyone's guess. Probably nothing much.

The terror attacks perpetrated against the Indian city of Mumbai shook the South Asia subcontinent to its core, leaving 195 confirmed dead and at least 295 other innocents wounded (1). The terror was said to be manufactured in Pakistan, the self-declared enemy of India, “the world’s largest democracy.” It was carried out by expertly trained “Jihadi terrorists” as per the direction of Pakistani intelligence and elements within the Pakistani government. This delusional fallacy however, is devoid of any basis in reality and nothing more than a concoction of the vitriol-spewing institution known as the mainstream media." - also posted at the UglyTruth - Related: ||  Just Give it a Rest OK!! - 11-27-09 - mpg  ||

Israeli Radio: Soldier Reported Missing, Settler [Land Squatter] Bus Attacked, Homemade-Shells Hit Negev
Situation out'a control - A quote...."Jerusalem – PNN – Israeli military spokesperson told the Israeli radio on Saturday morning that a soldier is missing since Monday. -- The army asked all those who have information to call the Israeli police, the army spokesperson did not announce the name of the soldier or the nature of his work in the military."

Settler [Land Squatter] Family Stabbed to Death; Troops Attack Northern West Bank Villages
Situation out'a control - A quote...."Nablus- PNN- Five Israeli settlers [land squatters] from the same family were stabbed to death on Saturday at dawn in their homes located in the settlement of Itamar in northern West Bank."

Website editor's note:  Regarding the two articles shown above, Random acts of violence out of frustration, insanity or cold blooded murder for whatever reason (assuming it wasn't a Mossad false flag operation - highly unlikely**) are a tragedy anywhere at anytime for everybody.

What the Palestinians must do is arm-up, every single one of them, with AK-47s, high powered sniper rifles, claymores, anti-tank mines, RPG's, mortars, anti-tank and anti-aircraft rockets (if they can get them).

Once forewarned and forearmed, WHEN and IF they CHOOSE to resist, they should pick their ground very carefully.  The home that's about to be demolished, the fishing boat that's about to be attacked, the farm that's about to be leveled, the cistern that's about to be destroyed....and DEFEND THEMSELVES and their property with fortitude and resolution.  (It's what was once called the "American way")

Knowing of course what the immediate and inevitable consequences of any such defense will be, especially if it's successful and MOST especially if the defense of their lands, homes, property, kith and kin is perceived to be lawful. (Israelis absolutely hate that, it drives them completely bat-crap crazy, they go totally, psychotically, insane)

Else they should just stick to peaceful non-violent resistance and concentrate on the complete and total boycott of Israel. - mpg

** This assumes the Israelis are not going to use this tragedy as a pretext for another war, since it takes six to nine months to prepare for one.  If they are going to start a war using this tragedy as a "pretext" than this incident was obviously a false flag operation.  The Mossad did the dirty deed or arranged it through their buddies the Saudi Royals using one of the Saudi's many radical Wahhabist groups. - mpg

Massive blast rips arms depot key to Libya rebels
Typical US-NRE "play action".  You use your people on the ground to blow up the depot, than the rebels have no choice but to come to you for weapons, while at the same time you quietly tell Qaddafi what you've done and offer to turn against the rebels if he gives you his oil and gas for free, along with some air bases of course.  Thus playing both sides against each other and gaining further power to influence the final outcome of the war.  In other words, to force both sides to give you the best terms possible and thereby let you determine, or choose, which side will be allowed to "win".  This is how the US-NRE "plays" it folks and it is what will happen every single time any nation, group, tribe or people does "business" with its parasitic class.  You think not?  Just keep in mind this is a country, and a  population, that allowed its parasitic class to sub-contract the murder of three thousand of its own citizens to the state of Israel (with an assist from the Saudi Royals) so it could than go out and murder millions more for their natural resources. - mpg - posted 03-05-11
