Petrodollars
Must Read - A quote...."Until this time, Wahhabism remained an interpretation of Islam with limited influence, that is, until 1973 and the Oil Crisis, which endowed the Saudi State [Royals] with extraordinary wealth and the ability to successfully impose its doctrines on the rest of the Muslim World. Already in May 1973, at a Bilderberg meeting in Sweden, the world’s leading financial and political representatives discussed how to manage the coming flow of OPEC petroleum revenues in advance of their plans to bring about the Oil Crisis. Present at the 1973 meeting were leading lights of the oil industry and London and New York banking, including David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski, soon Carter’s national security advisor." - bold by website editor - Topix ||   One Vile, Venom Tipped, Taloned Hand Washes the Other - (a.k.a.

Israel and the ‘Exodus’ Of America’s Wealth
Must Read - A quote...."Most persons well-versed with Israel’s use of terror, intimidation and false flag attacks in achieving her desired ends have assumed (with good reason) she would eventually resort to her much-discussed ‘Sampson Option’, the military protocol calling for the use of nuclear weapons against the entire world in the event that the great experiment in Jewish self-rule in the Middle East turns out to be a failure. However, what many of these persons in-the-know have failed to consider was that Israel has many weapons in her arsenal besides the aforementioned ‘conventional’ nukes, not the least of which is her power to destroy entire nations economically with the mere push of a button."

Real liars go to Tehran
Must Read - A quote...."March 23, 2013 "Information Clearing House" -"Asia Times" - Uncle Marx never thought about this one: history repeating itself as double tragedy after already being a farce in the first place. Let's examine the case in hand. First of all, take a close look at this Wall Street Journal op-ed from September 2002, in the hysterical run-up towards the invasion of Iraq. -- Title: The Case for Toppling Saddam. Author: Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu - then out of the Israeli government. -- It's all here: a "dictator who is rapidly expanding his arsenal of biological and chemical weapons" and "who is feverishly trying to acquire nuclear weapons"; the Saddam equals Hitler parallel; the portrayal of (de facto nuclear power) Israel as helpless victims of Palestinian "terror"; the claim that Saddam could produce nuclear fuel "in centrifuges the size of washing machines that can be hidden throughout the country - and Iraq is a very big country"; the cheerleading of a unilateral pre-emptive strike; and the inevitable conclusion that "nothing less than dismantling his regime will do''. -- Fast-forward over 10 years to this week in Israel. The scene: press conference of Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and visiting US President Barack Obama. Anyone watching it live on al-Jazeera, from the Middle East to East Asia, must have thought they were watching a geopolitical Back to the Future - and frankly, Michael J Fox at least oozed charm." - Source:  AsiaTimes

Hey Iraqis: How’s that “Liberation” Stuff Workin’ Out For Ya?
Must Read - A quote...."Bremer’s CPA was a classic “night watchman state.” Remember all those priceless historical treasures the looters “liberated” from the National Museum while the U.S. looked the other way? With Night Watchman Bremer’s go-ahead, global corporate looters gave the Iraqi economy just as thorough a ransacking. -- Bremer’s infamous “100 Orders” repealed virtually all of the Saddam-era legal structure — except for the 1987 Labor Code, which prohibited collective bargaining in the state sector. The state sector encompassed two hundred state-owned firms (a major chunk of the industrial economy), and Bremer wanted to “privatize” them in insider sweetheart deals with crony capitalists. Legalizing unions might gum up the works. -- The CPA refused to unfreeze the assets of the Iraqi Federation of Trade Unions (IFTU). Bremer ordered US troops to storm the IFTU headquarters and kept it closed down for months. A local American commander helpfully told an imprisoned union organizer that Iraq was not a sovereign country, and that so long as it was under the administration of the CPA Bremer didn’t want unions."

Department of Veterans Affairs Reports 73 Thousand U.S. Gulf War Deaths
Must Read - Related Article - A quote...."More Gulf War Veterans have died than Vietnam Veterans. This probably is news to you. But the truth has been hidden by a technicality. So here is the truth. - The casualties in the Vietnam War were pretty simple to understand. If a soldier was dead from his combat tour, he was a war casualty. There are 58,195 names recorded on the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, DC. - Some of these brave men died in the jungles of Vietnam while others died in Medivac units or hospitals in Japan and America. A dead soldier can surrender his life anywhere in service to his country. It really doesn't matter where this happens. The location of a soldier's death in no way colors his sacrifice. - But something odd has happened with the Iraq War. The government, under the Bush administration, did something dishonest that resulted in a lie that's persisted since the war began -- and continues to this very day. They decided to report the war deaths in Iraq only if the soldier died with his boots on the ground in a combat situation. - What's the difference, you might ask?" - also posted at Rys2sense

The Iraq War: Ten Years of U.S. Crimes against Humanity
A quote...."The corporate media in the U.S. play a powerful role in preparation for imperialist war. They play an even more insidious role in rewriting the history of U.S. wars and obstructing the purpose of U.S. wars. - They are totally intertwined with U.S. military, oil and banking corporations. In every war, this enormously powerful institution known as the ‘fourth estate’ attempts, as the public relations arm of corporate dominance, to justify imperialist plunder and overwhelm all dissent."

America’s Willing Executioners
A quote...."Ten years after the invasion, occupation and widespread destruction of Iraq was set into motion the revisionist apologetics are flying fast and furious. These include the denial of culpability for crimes committed, the systematic undercounting of the innocents slaughtered and displaced and the conveniently forgotten hubris of empire in the high theater of technocratic carnage. They also wanly posit the historical epic is behind ‘us,’" -- As Bombs Away O-Bomb-a always says...."Let's put it all behind us" - mpg

Washington Post Prints Iraq Lies, 2013 Edition
Presstitute Exposed - WaPo - caught printing an egregious, obvious and most disappointingly, childish op-ed piece about the supposed "intel" produced as justification for the Iraq war.  There must be, conservatively, at least ten MILLION articles, exposes, government statements, reports, direct eye-witness testimonies that directly contradict every statement in this article.  They're not even trying anymore. Note the quote.....

"After Hussein was deposed, we did not find the stockpiles of WMDs that all the world’s major intelligence services, the Clinton and Bush administrations and most members of Congress thought that he had. It was less an intelligence failure than a failure of imagination."

The author stupidly used the exact same phrase the 9/11 Commission used to white-wash their own cover-up of 9/11.  It's just so pathetic to read anything from the rapidly shrinking, fossilized, info-tainment complex these days.  Not only are the op-ed stenographers they choose to print, lying, stupid, craven, little piss-ant, presstituting shills, they have no imagination either. - mpg

Goading Gullible America Into War
A quote...."by Patrick J. Buchanan -- .....sucking America into Syria’s civil war is only a near-term goal for the War Party, which is after larger game — greasing the skids for a U.S. war on Iran. - And lest we underestimate the War Party, the likelihood is they will get their war. For they have already gotten Obama to make concessions that are steering us inexorably toward such a war."

President Obama’s Second Term: Selling Death and Buying Assassins In the Middle East, N.Africa and South Asia
A quote...."As President Obama enters his second term with a new Cabinet, the foreign policy legacy of the past four years weighs heavily on their strategic decisions and their empire-building efforts. Central to the analysis of the next period is an evaluation of the past policies especially in regions where Washington expended its greatest financial and military resources, namely the Middle East, South Asia and North Africa." - also posted at AlethoNews & ICH

West stalls Syria chemical attack probe in U.N.: Russia
A quote...."Russia clashed with Britain and France at the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday over the scope of an investigation into the alleged use of chemical weapons in Syria, accusing Western powers of trying to torpedo a potential U.N. probe."

"Which tells us that the chemical attack was indeed a false-flag event staged by the hired mercenary army to blame on Assad." -- *Michael Rivero*

How Gaddafi's Great Man-Made River Project became part of the Water Wars
A quote...."Libyans called it the eighth wonder of the world. Western media called it a pet project and the pipe dream of a mad dog. The "mad dog" himself in 1991 prophetically said about the largest civil engineering venture in the world: "After this achievement, American threats against Libya will double. The United States will make excuses, but the real reason is to stop this achievement, to keep the people of Libya oppressed."

Lebanese PM Mikati's cabinet resigns amid growing crisis
Oh Oh - There goes another country.  The PNAC Protocols claim another victim. - mpg -- A quote...."Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati has announced the resignation of his entire government. - The move comes after the deeply divided cabinet failed to approve a commission to oversee elections planned for June. - It was also unable to agree on the extension of the term of office of the internal security chief, who is otherwise obliged to retire next month. - Lebanon has been gripped by a political crisis linked to the unrest in neighbouring Syria."

More Tales From the Zio-Sphere....

Obama
Must Read - A quote...."I am a Palestinian from the Bethlehem area but who also happens to hold a US passport.  The latter does not allow me to enter Jerusalem and the US government will not protect this or other rights I have (including family reunification). Meanwhile, any Jewish American can come and get automatic citizenship and live on stolen Palestinian land in our city. It is hard to describe the level of frustration that I had watching the theater of media frenzy (devoid of any real substance) about Obama’s visit." - Source: PopularResistance

Peace Fraud: Obama Fails to Demand Halt to Illegal Settlements
Must Read - A quote...."Miko Peled doesn’t mince words: “The Israeli-Palestinian issue is, politically, a toxic wasteland that no US president in his right mind would want to clean up. It has become a vicious cycle of deceit and double standards, and it will contaminate any US politician who tries to clean it up.” -- And one after another, they run away from the challenge. -- And so it has been with Obama. This week the world’s greatest peace fraud came to the Holy Land and funked it. Frankly, if that’s the best he can do after four years in the job he has no business calling himself a world leader." - also posted at AlethoNews & PalestineChron

Zoabi to Netanyahu: Apologize for blockading Gaza
This is a brave, beautiful, woman standing up for her people. - mpg - A quote...."RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- Hanin Zoabi, the Arab member of the Israeli Knesset, has said that Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu’s apology to Turkey over the deadly attack on Mavi Marmara ship was not enough."

US aid to Israel totals $234 billion since 1948
A quote...."American taxpayers have paid the equivalent of $234 billion at today's values in aid to Israel since 1948. The figures are revealed in a report by Israeli economic magazine The Marker this week and show the actual amount of $113 billion adjusted to take inflation into account. The pro-Israel Lobby in the US is pushing hard for aid to the country to be maintained despite the economic hardships facing the American people."

"I would expect Israel's real cost to America is much higher. Between "loan forgiveness" by Congress, and generous tax deductions for donations to various Israeli entities, and the regular practice of taking brand new weapons, declaring them surplus, and "selling" them to Israel for pennies on the dollar, I suspect the real cost paid by Americans for Israel's upkeep is as much as an order of magnitude higher."  -- *Michael Rivero*

We also shouldn't forget to add all the aid to foreign countries, Egypt being a prime example, so that "friendly" relationships are maintained with Israel (another $10 to $15 Billion) the direct costs to the economy caused by 9/11, which Israel facilitated ($100 to $300 Billion)  all of the wars fought for Israel per the PNAC Protocols ($6 to $10 Trillion), and the costs associated with Israel's control of our banking system ($30 to $50 Trillion). - mpg

How Six Million Jews Died, complied by Toshiro
Holocaust™ Hasbara Exposed - A quote...."The erudite internet writer known as “Toshiro” has compiled a list of 236 references found in newspapers, magazines and books — spanning 45 years, from 1900 to 1945 — in which Jews have claimed that SIX MILLION Jews were (a) about to be killed, (b) were in the process of being killed, or (c) had been killed. -- The words have been repeated like a mantra, a numerological litany from which there is no escape. As there is naturally much repitition, we select here only a handful of these references just to give the reader an idea of the intense process of mass hypnosis that started roughly in 1900 and has been continuing relentlessly for over a hundred years."

Obama won’t decide on Iran’s nuclear program
A quote...."The Leveretts have an article at HuffPo entitled “Obama’s Choice: Real Diplomacy With Iran — or War” wherein they say,

"Tehran’s conditions for a long-term deal remain fundamentally what they have been for years — above all, U.S. acceptance of Iran’s revolution and its independence, including its right to enrich under international safeguards. Just as importantly, the Obama administration is no more prepared than prior administrations to accept the Islamic Republic and put forward a proposal that might actually interest Tehran. And Obama’s ability to modify sanctions in the course of negotiations — or lift them as part of a deal — is tightly circumscribed by laws that he himself signed, belying the argument that sanctions are somehow a constructive diplomatic tool."

"Frankly, I don’t see the point. By now it is obvious that Obama does not have the balls to take on AIPAC, and yet the US is in no position to start another war either … So Obama will most likely make all the right noises to keep the Israelis satisfied and yet will kick the ball down the road." - See related articles shown below.....

A week later they shot a British journalist in the head while he was filming. It is like Rachel Corrie never happened like the USS Liberty.

Where's the Kingfish Now That We Really Need Him? - Our Chavez: Huey Long
A quote...."“Social contract”? What social contract? You mean the social contract that allows the banks to fleece your ass at every opportunity with no chance of being held accountable? -- While the report is 2 years old, it indicates something that’s fairly obvious to many, that Americans are generally pragmatic people who judge a system by its results not by the public relations blabber issuing from the business channel. “Show me the beef”, that’s what the average working slob cares about, not some horseshit about “the wondrous symmetry of the self-correcting market”. What a load of malarkey. If we’d applied the theories of the market fundamentalists after Lehman Brothers collapsed, the 10 biggest banks in the country would have been euthanized (as they should have been) and we’d be well on our way to a true recovery. Instead, the economy is still hopelessly mired in a long-term slump that shows no sign of ending. The only thing that’s “corrected” is the profit margins on Wall Street which are at record highs."

It is known that the justification for the invasion was a packet of lies orchestrated by the neoconservative Bush regime in order to deceive the United Nations and the American people. -- The US Secretary of State at that time, General Colin Powell, has expressed his regrets that he was used by the Bush regime to deceive the United Nations with fake intelligence that the Bush and Blair regimes knew to be fake. But the despicable presstitute media has not apologized to the American people for serving the corrupt Bush regime as its Ministry of Propaganda and Lies. -- It is difficult to discern which is the most despicable, the corrupt Bush regime, the presstitutes that enabled it, or the corrupt Obama regime that refuses to prosecute the Bush regime for its unambiguous war crimes, crimes against the US Constitution, crimes against US statutory law, and crimes against humanity."

10th Anniversary of Israel's US War on Iraq (Part-1/2) - (Part-2/2)
Ry2SVideo - (Ry2SYuTb - 8/5min - Mar 20, 2013) - - Source:  Ry2S@YuTb - Related: Ry2S@TruTube - Related:  Ry2S@Vimeo - Related: Rys2senseAntiNeocons -- A quote...."The lie, policy papers, and government officials, from the Pentagon down to the speech writers who pushed for the case for war against Iraq were 100% Neocons, 100% tied to Israel, it was not a war for oil, it was a war for Israeli power."

Website Editor's Comment & Correction:  Rayan Dawson emphatically states the Iraq war wasn't about the "petro-dollar" and it wasn't about the "Jews".

That's a pretty difficult position to sustain for the following reasons.....

1)  The US-NRE's parasitic Banksters, i.e. the Federal Reserve, usually start their Economic / Warfare schemes on a very predictable ten year economic cycle, which includes their wars in the Middle East.

2)  They make enormous profits from the debts caused by these wars they create, the coercive relationships they establish over the colonies they conquer -- the "currency spheres" wherein they force their new colonies to use their script -- and their relationships with their domestic  Military Industry Complex

3)  The ONLY thing sustaining the Federal Reserves Notes ever since the US-NRE went off the gold standard in 1973 is the US-NRE's military and the fact that Oil from the Gulf Monarchies can ONLY be bought using these notes. Also known as the "Petro-Dollar"

4)  A technical note:  In additional to the ten year economic warfare cycle, there also seems to be an underlying thirty year economic warfare cycle for MAJOR transitions in currency stability.

• 1912-1914 - Fed & Income tax created / 1914 WWI - (The start of the UK pound's decline)
  
• 1942-1944 - Bretton Woods WWII The pound losses supremacy USD becomes reserve currency
  
• 1972-1974 - US ends Vietnam war, US goes off the gold standard, Petro-dollar established
• 2002-2004 - 9/11 2001, Massive financilization occurs, derivatives etc. Death throws of the USD

It should be noted that at the meeting to establish the petro-dollar (the third major currency transition) "were leading lights of the oil industry and London and New York banking, including David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski, soon Carter’s national security adviser. Also present was Henry Kissinger" It should be noted that Henry Kissinger, who is a Kazarian ("Jew") and closet Zionist was also selected to head the 9/11 commission to cover up what really happened.  He was booted out by the 9/11 families because of all his ties to the Saudi Royals and other Mid-East Monarchies. Had he been selected he would have been present during the weakening of the USD (the fourth major currency transition)

5)  Every  country that has attempted NOT to use the Federal Reserve's script has been immediately and ruthlessly attacked.

6)  The Federal Reserve is a Private Banking Cartel, it is owned by the following families, most of whom are foreign.....

•     Rothschild's of London and Berlin
•     Lazard Brothers of Paris
•     Israel Moses Seaf of Italy
•     Kuhn, Loeb & Co. of Germany and New York
•     Warburg & Company of Hamburg, Germany
•     Goldman, Sachs of New York
•     Rockefeller Brothers of New York

7)  They have, as owners of the Federal Reserve, and also as owners of many, if not most of the major Banks in Europe, received well over $30 Trillion dollars in Federl Reserve script or support, a script which has, as a result, became highly diluted.  Yet it is a script which we, and the conquered nations of the world, are still forced to use.

8)  This is essentially a criminal scheme for  MASSIVELY transferring the wealth from well over a billion people's pockets to this clan of Banksters.

9)  Most of these Bankster families are "Jewish" (i.e. 80%-90% Non-Semitic Caucasoid Kazarians) and undoubtedly use their almost total control of the US-NRE's political, media, and financial system along with the complete control of THEIR world-wide "reserve" currency, to further establish and expand their criminal enclave known as the state of Israel.

10)  THIS is where the "Jewish Community" (i.e. the Kazarian Community) gets its power from!  Israel is just a festering geo-political puss-filled boil erupting on the face of this planet as a result of these families immense corrupt financial power and their collective ability to force this farce of a community on the rest of the world's population.

11)  THIS is where the Saudi Royal Family and the rest of the Gulf monarchies get their power from, this is how, as members of the Axis of Evil, they can continue to support Wahhabist, Jihadist, terrorism worldwide....as willing, obedient currency slaves to Israel and her Banksters.

12)  IT'S ALWAYS been about the "currency"!!  IT'S ALWAYS been about using the military, in those countries the Banksters have successfully parasitized to conquer or destroy all other competing financial and geo-political systems.  Whatever their structures, whether they were "democracies" or not!

13)  IT WAS NEVER, EVER, about their fake, artificial ideologies and the false paradigms they've imposed on the world's collective consciousness:  left, right, communism, socialism, capitalism, fascism, liberalism, conservatism, etc.  These are simply false, childish, philosophies used to distract the peasants while their pockets are picked clean and their lives thrown away on the Banksters' endless currency wars. - mpg

U.S./Israel [& the Saudi Royal] Axis of Evil
A quote...."President Barack Obama’s visit to Israel signals nothing but bad news for the Palestinian people and probably the people of the rest of the world too. Every American president who has served since Israel’s founding has put chosen Israeli interests over those of their own people. Israel may kill United States servicemen as it did in attacking the U.S.S. Liberty in 1967. American citizen Rachel Corrie was crushed to death by an Israeli tractor when she tried to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian home. Furkan Dogan was assassinated by Israeli soldiers on board a freedom flotilla vessel bound for Gaza. Neither the sailors on board the Liberty, nor Corrie, nor Dogan received any justice from their government. There is very little justice when it comes to Israeli/American relations. --
It will be important to keep that in mind while watching Obama’s “listening” trip to Israel...." - also posted at AlethoNews - Topix ||  One Vile, Venom Tipped, Taloned Hand Washes the Other - (a.k.a. The Standard Model) - 07-28-10 - mpg  ||

For example, the executive branch is negotiating laws in secret – and grabbing powers – without telling Congress. -- And life-and-death decisions about who the government labels an “enemy combatant” and assassinates are being kept away from the judges altogether. -- At the same time, government agencies like the FDA go to great lengths to cover up the potential health damage from genetically modified foods, and to keep the consumer in the dark about what they’re really eating.

Iraq After Ten Years - posted at ICH
Must Read - A quote...."March 19, 2013 "Information Clearing House" -  March 19, 2013. Ten years ago today the Bush regime invaded Iraq. It is known that the justification for the invasion was a packet of lies orchestrated by the neoconservative Bush regime in order to deceive the United Nations and the American people. - The US Secretary of State at that time, General Colin Powell, has expressed his regrets that he was used by the Bush regime to deceive the United Nations with fake intelligence that the Bush and Blair regimes knew to be fake. But the despicable presstitute media has not apologized to the American people for serving the corrupt Bush regime as its Ministry of Propaganda and Lies." - Source:  PaulCraigRoberts

10-Year Iraq War Anniversary: What We Know
Must Read - A quote...."The Iraq war started 10 years ago. Here’s what we know now....The American government planned the Iraq war long before 9/11.   Former CIA director George Tenet said that the White House wanted to invade Iraq long before 9/11, and inserted “crap” in its justifications for invading Iraq. Former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill – who sat on the National Security Council – also says that Bush planned the Iraq war before 9/11. Top British officials say that the U.S. discussed Iraq regime change even before Bush took office. And in 2000, Cheney said a Bush administration might “have to take military action to forcibly remove Saddam from power.”  And see this and this.  Indeed, neoconservatives planned regime change in Iraq – and throughout the Middle East and North Africa – 20 years ago."

WMD Lies – Mainstream Media Must Also Shoulder Responsibility
Special Note - A quote...."We’ve all been saying it for years, but now 10 years too late, the mainstream media has finally begun reporting the truth. - Even since before the hyped “shock and awe” beginning of the Iraq war, it was obvious to almost every critical-thinking person that a tidal wave of government lies and deceit was about to lead to the mass murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent people. - That reality, revealed in no small part by genuine investigative journalists, has been largely censored for the past decade."

Fabricated Iraq War WMD Pretext: Who was behind the “Terrorist Network” in N Iraq, Baghdad or Washington?
For The Record - A quote...."The plagiarized British “intelligence report” cited by Powell in his UN address is part of a war propaganda campaign, which went disastrously wrong in the weeks leading up to the planned invasion of Iraq. Yet the matter of political deceit and disinformation, not to mention the incompetence of the CIA and Britain’s MI6 is but the tip of the iceberg....."

British, U.S. spies ignored intelligence before Iraq invasion
For The Record - A quote....."Britain and U.S. spying agencies had ignored intelligence before invasion of Iraq that the country had no active weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), it has been revealed."

10 Years After Iraq Invasion: Continued Myths, Hundreds of Thousands Killed
For The Record - A quote...."Arundhati Roy, writer and global justice activist, speaking on Democracy Now! Monday...."

"When the United States invaded Iraq, a New York Times/CBS News survey estimated that 42 percent of the American public believed that Saddam Hussein was directly responsible for the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. And an ABC News poll said that 55 percent of Americans believed that Saddam Hussein directly supported al-Qaeda. None of this opinion is based on evidence, because there isn’t any. All of it is based on insinuation or to suggestion and outright lies circulated by the U.S. corporate media, otherwise known as the “free press,” that hollow pillar on which contemporary American democracy rests. Public support in the U.S. for the war against Iraq was founded on a multitiered edifice of falsehood and deceit, coordinated by the U.S. government and faithfully amplified by the corporate media." - Source: CommonDreams

The Iraq War ten years on: A turning point for US imperialism
A quote...."Today marks the tenth anniversary of the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq. Ten years ago, the world watched the “shock and awe” bombing campaign light up the nighttime sky of Baghdad with billowing clouds of flame and smoke."

War On Iraq - 10 Years On
A quote....""Ten years ago I watched on TV how the first bombs exploded in Baghdad. The fireballs were bigger than I had expected. "What are they dropping there?" I asked. "And why?" asked my then girlfriend. "Oil," I replied. -- It was obvious that Iraq had neither any weapons of mass destruction nor any connection to terrorism. There was no doubt about that. Every piece of false evidence that had been put out by the U.S. government had been debunked. Everyone with a bit of interest and a bit of time could have known that. Knight Ridder's Washington Bureau (today McClatchy) journalists Warren Strobel and Jonathan Landay had written piece after piece about that, as had several blogs and alternative media, Billmon's Whiskey Bar being on of them. Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradai and their experts on the ground said there were no WMD in Iraq.""

Chilcot inquiry into Iraq war lacks crucial documents
Cover-Up Exposed -- A quote...."Chilcot has been demanding during the past two years that certain documents, including correspondence and notes of conversations between Blair and then U.S. President G.W. Bush, be declassified because those documents will provide “important and often unique insights into Blair’s thinking and the commitments he made to President Bush”. - But, it was ordered by Sir Gus O’Donnell, the cabinet secretary that these documents were to remain classified, after consulting with Blair." - Gee whiz, Gus O'Donnell asked Blair if he could release documents that would prove Blair was a war criminal that should be publicly hung by the  neck 'till dead and Blair actually said...."no". Imagine that, who would've thunk it? - mpg

Had Libya’s looted stockpiles of chemical weapons been shipped to Syria, they would have passed through Turkey along with weapons sent from Libya by the US and thousands of Libyan terrorists who are admittedly operating inside Syria, and would most likely be used to target cities like Aleppo." - Source:  LandDestroyerRep

Sayyeda Zeinab: The 7th Century Heroine of Karbala
A quote..."(Damascus) – It is well known in this region that powerful foreign and domestic forces in nearly every country, but particularly Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, are increasingly acting, for purely political purposes, to ignite a bloody internecine conflict within Islam. Indeed, the 3/17/13 attacks targeting four Sunni sheiks in Beirut that led to immediate road blockings in Beirut, Sidon and the Bekaa Valley is a reminder of the vulnerability of Lebanon’s own delicate sectarian balance to potential chaos."

America’s Bloodied Hands

Cheney Caught In Another Major Lie
Special Note - A quote...."Everyone knew that Iraq did not possess weapons of mass destruction (update here). - Dick Cheney admits that he lied about 9/11. - MSNBC recently noted that these two facts are intertwined...."

"Mark Rossini, was then an FBI counter-terrorism agent detailed to the CIA. He was assigned the task of evaluating a Czech intelligence report that Mohammed Atta, the lead 9/11 hijacker, had met with an Iraqi intelligence agent in Prague before the attack on the World Trade Towers. --- Cheney repeatedly invoked the report as evidence of Iraqi involvement in 9/11. “It’s been pretty well confirmed that he [Atta] did go to Prague and he did meet with  a senior official of the Iraqi intelligence service in Czechoslovakia  last April,” Cheney said on Meet the Press on Dec. 9, 2001. --- But the evidence used to support the claim–a supposed photograph of Atta in Prague the day of the alleged meeting—had already been debunked by Rossini. He analyzed the photo and immediately saw it was bogus: the picture of the Czech “Atta” looked nothing like the real terrorist. It was a conclusion he relayed up the chain, assuming he had put the matter to rest."

The Shame of America’s Gulag - Article also posted at ICH
Special Note - A quote...."If, as Fyodor Dostoevsky wrote, “the degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons” then we are a nation of barbarians. Our vast network of federal and state prisons, with some 2.3 million inmates, rivals the gulags of totalitarian states. Once you disappear behind prison walls you become prey. Rape. Torture. Beatings. Prolonged isolation. Sensory deprivation. Racial profiling. Chain gangs. Forced labor. Rancid food. Children imprisoned as adults. Prisoners forced to take medications to induce lethargy. Inadequate heating and ventilation. Poor health care. Draconian sentences for nonviolent crimes. Endemic violence."

But even if they eventually see 100 percent of their funds returned, the firm’s misappropriation of customer funds under the leadership of Jon Corzine will remain a shocking example of financial malfeasance. It looks like Corzine could have gotten away with the crime of the century."

The Deeper Meanings of Cyprus
A quote...." Let's list what Cyprus reveals about the true state of financial-political power in Europe:   1. The Core-Periphery terminology masks the real structure: the E.U. operates on a neocolonial model. In the old Colonialism 1.0 model, the colonizing power conquered or co-opted the Power Elites of the periphery regions, and proceeded to exploit the new colonies' resources and labor to enrich the Imperial core. -- In Neocolonialism, the forces of financialization (debt and leverage controlled by State-enforced banking cartels) are used to indenture the local Elites and populace to the financial core: the peripheral "colonials" borrow money to buy the finished goods manufactured in the core economies, enriching the Imperial Elites with A) the profits made selling goods to the debtors B) interest on credit extended to the peripheral colonies to buy the core economies' goods and "live large", and C) the transactional skim of financializing peripheral assets such as real estate and State debt." - also posted at ZeroHedge -- Topix....

An Orwellian America - also in PDF
Must Read - Graphics - A quote...."As a young man, I voraciously read George Orwell’s “1984”, Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World” and Alvin Toffler's trilogy which included "Future Shock"', "The Third Wave" and "Power Shift". During the era of the Vietnam War, I wondered seriously about the future and how it was destined to unfold. Now being considerably older, I have the vantage point to reflect back on my early ruminations and expectations. Unfortunately, I am too old to alter the lessons that are now so painfully obvious. Instead, I pass the gauntlet to those who can understand and take action on what I have unavoidably come to expect for America. - Source:  GordanTLong

US and UK Drowned Iraq in Blood - Barbarian Rhapsody: Ten Years Deeper Into Hell
Quote of the Day...."Yes, it has certainly been, as Barack Obama memorably characterized it, a "remarkable achievement." It is also, more and more, a forgotten "achievement." America's amnesia regarding the war crime in Iraq and its continuing ramifications -- not only the repression and death still going on there, but also the catastrophic impact of this atrocity on America itself, including the tsunami of suicide, homelessness and PTSD among its soldiers, and the back-breaking costs of this orgy of corruption and war-profiteering -- is indeed remarkable. It is no longer a reality -- a living, anguished, ongoing human tragedy -- but simply fodder for commentary, for partisan point-scoring, for barroom blather. This has always been the case with our misbegotten wars of imperial domination (for an especially acute and egregious example of our chronic amnesia, see this review of Nick Turse's new book, Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam), going back to the 19th century. And the "paradigm-changing" iadvent of the internet has done nothing to change that; despite today's easy access to unprecedented levels of information about the realities of the Iraq war (and other high crimes and atrocities), the amnesia and willful ignorance remains as profound as ever." - bold by website editor

America’s Dirty War in Iraq
A quote...."America wages wars dirty. They’re all unprincipled and lawless. It’s official policy. Exceptions don’t exist. No-holds-barred barbarism is longstanding. - Rule of law principles don’t matter. They never did. Modern technologies make today’s wars worse than ever. All forms of brutality are commonplace. - On March 6, London’s Guardian discussed the Pentagon’s link to Iraqi torture centers. General David Petraeus was directly involved. - So was Col. James Steele. He’s a retired special forces expert. He’s a Central America “dirty wars” veteran."

The team of authors, headed by Frédéric Siordet, explained in the opening pages of the Report that their object, in the tradition of the Red Cross, had been strict political neutrality, and herein lies its great value." - also posted at FromTheTrenches - Topix ||  More Evidence Would Have Been Better - 11-05-12 - mpg  ||

The founders rightly saw government as an eternal threat against freedom and justice, knowing that all governments inevitably grow out of control like a cancer tumor, always seeking more and more power until they kill the host. The answer to this destructive pattern of dangerous government throughout human history was to place limits on government power and stake out fundamental rights and freedoms that can never be infringed." - bold by website editor - also posted at FromTheTrenches

The Anglo-Euro-Banks Credibility Crisis Deepens....

Cash machines EMPTIED across Cyprus as 60,000 British savers face losing MILLIONS after £8.7billion EU bailout imposes tax on all of nation's bank accounts - WTF!!! - Financial Red Warning - (This is one of the first financial red warnings ever posted on this website!) - A quote...."Up to 60,000 British savers are to lose thousands of pounds each after European finance chiefs ordered an unprecedented  raid on personal bank accounts. - Expats and UK troops based in Cyprus will have their savings decimated as part of a  painful bid to bail out the bankrupt island. - Britons have about £1.7 billion of deposits in Cyprus and could lose up to £170 million."

• Lines formed at ATMs as people scrambled to pull their money out
• Word spread that rescue package included a one-off levy on deposits
• Restrictions stopping people emptying accounts or moving money abroad
• Up to 3,000 British service personnel are based on the bankrupt island
• President Nicos Anastasiades agreed to raid with European finance chiefs
• Said country in 'state of emergency' and not acting would be 'catastrophic'
• But expats accused the island of 'plain theft' as violent protests sparked
• Britons have around £1.7b of deposits on island and could lose up to £170m

A scene that could be replicated in ANY EU country!!  Therefore, this is possibly one of the STUPIDEST stunts ever pulled by the Banksters!!  It'll scare the hell out of everyone in the EU and, to put it mildly, is not the sort of move to inspire confidence on behalf of bank customers ANYWHERE! It is also, again to put it mildly, HIGHLY counter productive given the actual, precarious, state of the EU's financial system.  In other words - WHAT THE HECK WERE THEY THINKING!?!? - mpg - more articles on this issue shown below.....

Europe Does It Again: Cyprus Depositor Haircut "Bailout" Turns Into Saver "Panic", Frozen Assets, Bank Runs, Broken ATMs - A quote...."Late last night, after markets closed for the weekend, following an extended discussion the European finance ministers announced their "bailout" solution for Russian oligarch depositor-haven Cyprus: a €13 billion bailout (Europe's fifth) with a huge twist: the implementation of what has been the biggest taboo in European bailouts to date - the  impairment of depositors, and a fresh, full blown escalation in the status quo's war against savers everywhere."

Why Europe Is Still In Peril, In Two Charts
A quote...."A lot of analysts, including myself, have given the European situation a rest since last year. There were certainly some signs that the ECB and IMF had slowed (if not stopped) the deterioration by providing liquidity backstops to the addled banking system. But perhaps that was just the calm before the storm. -- In truth, things were still was probably just as perilous as ever up until yesterday when the ECB and IMF decided to start a banking panic by enforcing a haircut of up to 10% on bank depositors. That was literally the stupidest thing that anyone has done since the Euro crisis began, and while it may not lead to utter disaster, there is a significant chance that it will." - also posted at ZeroHedge

The Later, Greater Depression
A quote...."Has it occurred to anyone that we might be in a later, greater depression that has been hidden by liquidity and MSM MOPE, but is in fact unfolding? -- Remember what I told you on more than one occasion, "If you could have lied in 1930 at the level of government would the Great Depression have occurred?" I answered "Yes, later and GREATER." -- That is exactly where we are. We are in the MOPEd, "Later and Greater Depression" right now. That is why QE must go to infinity or the house of cards falls. That is the substance in this article. It is not counties but rather countries. -- This is why gold must balance the balance sheets of the worst deficit-debt offenders. Just like the why of QE, there simply is no other tool."

Hidden Numbers Make Banks Even Bigger
A quote...."It sounds like a simple question. How big is that bank? --  But it is not. -- Under American accounting rules, banks that trade a lot of derivatives can keep literally trillions of dollars in assets and liabilities off their balance sheets. Since 2009, they have at least been required to make disclosures about how large those amounts are, but the disclosures leave out some things and — amazingly enough — in some cases do not seem to add up."

It starts as soon as an oil well begins production and goes on 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Furthermore, it is not exactly news that oil is being discovered all around the world. The industry has been spending record amounts to find it. - What’s critical is the difference between the annual additions to oil production capacity and the annual decline in the rate of production from existing wells, a decline which is running anywhere from 4 to 9 percent depending on whom you talk to." - see related article....Lower highs: The real trajectory of U.S. oil production
