Welcome to the United States of Orwell, Part 3: We had to Destroy Democracy in Order to Save It
A quote...."Here is what I consider to be the dominant narrative of what I call the National Security State. The National Security State is comprised of the Pentagon, the Armed Forces, the CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, the corporate military-industrial complex that profits from it and the "black" budgets, agencies and operations that are hidden from the citizenry in the name of "national security." -- Here's the narrative: we were surprised by a treacherous, shadowy, sinister enemy and we have to set aside the niceties of democracy and civil liberties to combat this new and terrible foe. This was the narrative after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, and it set in motion a total-global-war mobilization of the entire American society and economy." - also posted at ZeroHedge

An Aging, Bankrupt Empire
A quote...."Within its borders, America once provided an example to the world of what free markets and sound money can provide. But as Goyette painstaking points out, those days are over. Today’s America is but an aging bankrupt empire. Not so different than the last days of Rome. Its armies spread thin throughout the world. Its treasure wasted long ago, government finances are in shambles, and it can only pay its promises with money it creates from nowhere."

The Big Piggie Grunts, "Give me More."...Or Else?
A quote...."Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes … known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.… No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare." -- *James Madison*, Political Observations, 1795

UNAC: A Real Anti-War Movement in the Belly of the Beast - Finally!! - Hip Hip Hooray!!
Action Alert - A quote...."The United States finally has an anti-war movement that can’t be bamboozled by President Obama’s “humanitarian” mass murder. The United National Anti-War Coalition has broken decisively with those who would give a pass to Washington to wage illegal wars against Syria and Iran – as Obama did in Libya. “Our task as Americans is to dismantle from within the monstrous apparatus of imperial aggression. Period.” No exceptions." - also posted at AlethoNews - Includes Quote of the Day & Mission Statement....

"Our mission is to disarm the beast, not to pick and choose from a Democratic administration’s menu of regimes that might be changed to make the world more amenable to Wall Street.”"

The Myth of Freedom in the Land of the Free
A quote...."March 28, 2012 "Information Clearing House" --- In 1893, a massive financial panic sent demand for the Pullman Palace Car Company into a downward spiral. The luxury rail car company reacted by slashing workers' wages and increasing their work load. After negotiations with ownership broke down the following year, the American Railway Union, in solidarity with Pullman factory workers, launched a boycott that eventually shut down railroads across the US. It was a full-scale insurrection, as the late historian Howard Zinn put it, that soon "met with the full force of the capitalist state"."

Unilateral, Asymmetric, and Preemptive American Murder/Suicide Foreign Policy
A quote...."Over the last 10 years, more American soldiers have committed suicide than have been killed by the Afghan Jihad. These all have traits of classic murder/suicides. The slayer is haunted by his own brutality, by the fear of his own traumas, overwhelmed with guilt and grief; he takes his own life, or as in Bales' case, resigns to permanent state custody, to a mental hospital or maximum security prison, as a surrender in his conflict with a reality he can neither fight or accept."

What NPR means by “reporting”
Presstitue Exposed - (NPR....which is NOT a surprise at all. - mpg) -- It is well worth listening [if you like listening to insipid, spineless, drivel from a shameless government stenographer. - mpg] to this 4-minute NPR story from this morning (embedded below) on the grave and growing menace of “state-sponsored Terrorism” from Iran. NPR national security reporter Dina Temple-Raston [another budding Judith Miller. - mpg] does what she (and NPR reporters generally) typically do: gathers a couple of current and former government officials (with an agreeable establishment think-tank expert thrown in the mix), uncritically airs what they say, and then repeats it herself. This is what establishment-serving journalists in Washington mean when they boast that they, but not their critics, engage in so-called “real reporting”; it means: calling up Serious People in Washington and uncritically repeating what they say (see here and here for the episode when Temple-Raston voiced that basic claim to me, as she boasted of special knowledge she possessed about Anwar Awlaki’s guilt obtained when unnamed government officials whispered assertions to her in private which she then uncritically repeated: that’s real reporting). - bold by website editor

Lies Taking Us To War
A quote...."Challenge them. Some will tell you that Ahmdinejad said that “Israel should be wiped off the map.” -- That is a [deliberate] mistranslation – a lie. -- Professor Juan Cole explained that in the 1980s Khomeini gave a speech in which he said “in Persian ‘Een rezhim-i eshghalgar-i Quds bayad az sahneh-i ruzgar mahv shaved.’ This means, “This occupation regime over Jerusalem must vanish from the arena of time.” -- Those who know the truth have been ignored by those who want to believe or spread the lie to get the world into another war at the behest of Israel and its supporters."

More Tales From the Zio-Sphere....

The Zionification of Canada - Israelization of Canadian political process
Contains Video - Alt - (YuTb - 1min03sec - Mar 28, 2012) - Source: ravenise00 -- A quote...."With the election of Thomas Mulcair (born 1954) as the new leader of Canada’s third largest party, the New Democratic Party (NDP), and leader of the Official Opposition in Canada – has completed, like the next door neighbor United States, the Israelization of country’s political process. Canada’s three major political parties; the Progressive Conservative Party, lead by Israel-Firster Zionist prime minister Stephen Joseph Harper (with Jewish family roots); the interim leader of the Liberal Party, lead by Robert Keith Rae (a former leader of NDP with Jewish family roots) is on the board of Jewish National Fund, a criminally racist organization, even Israel wants to stay at a distance from it."

Double Speak from Benjamin Netanyahu
A quote...."Where to begin? Israel’s surgical attacks have killed thousands of Gazans, including many children, and the stories about children as human shields comes from – you guessed it – Israeli government sources. The Goldstone report uncovered no evidence that there had been any use of civilians by Hamas militants. Israel has deliberately attacked schools and refugee camps, with little regard for who ends up dying. In its most recent bombings of Gaza, Israel has killed 26 Palestinians, including two children. No Israelis were injured when the Palestinians responded with homemade rockets. In 2011, 105 Palestinians were killed in Gaza, at least 37 of whom were undeniably civilians. This was up from 68 killed in 2010."

Israel’s Nuclear Triggers: Secret files reveal brazen espionage and dangerous immunity
Special Note - A quote...."MILCO obtained the krytons from EG&G Inc. After the U.S. government rejected several requests for kryton export licenses to Israel, Arnon Milchan’s Heli Trading Company brokered the transactions with MILCO. Milchan is an Israeli movie producer who became successful in Hollywood for such movies as Brazil, JFK, and Pretty Woman."

Pentagon Pushes for More Military Aid to Israel
A quote...."Israel’s latest salvo of air strikes into the Gaza Strip may not have amounted to an excuse for a full scale ground invasion, but the Pentagon is looking to use it as justification for yet another increase in military aid for the Israelis."

I hope others will contact them about this, also. (202-266-7453 phone; 202-266-7454 fax)" - Helen Thomas should treat this "rejection" as an affirmation of her fundamental integrity.  At this point she should ask herself does she even want to associate with these bought and paid for AIPAC/Israeli Consortium shills?  She should start her own club!! - mpg

Real-World or Exercise': Did the U.S. Military Mistake the 9/11 Attacks for a Training Scenario?
A quote...."Key military personnel who were responsible for protecting the U.S. against the 9/11 attacks may have been seriously hindered in their ability to respond because of a large-scale air defense exercise they were participating in when the attacks occurred. Evidence indicates that the personnel, whose responsibilities included ordering fighter jets into the air to intercept the hijacked planes, were unclear about what was "real-world" and what was "exercise." They may have been led to believe that the terrorist attacks were just simulated scenarios." - also posted at 9/11Blogger

Kagan Defies Judicial Ethics and Sits on Obamacare Case

Debt Bubble: Why “Too Big To Fail” Banks Still Face Much Trouble Ahead
A quote...."Please note that not all financial institutions got bailed out. - In fact, hundreds of small and mid-size U.S. banks failed during the financial crisis. - It was only the “systemically important financial institutions” that got bailed out. - So who decided which financial institutions were important enough to be bailed out? - The Federal Reserve made those decisions. There were no Congressional votes and no input from the public.  The Federal Reserve determined who the winners and the losers would be in secret and without any public debate. - Sure sounds “democratic”, eh?" - also posted at BLN & EFT

That is the plan, at least. -- In order to extend the Dollar's life, mask the U.S. financial crisis, save America's global hegemony, and maintain Israel's dominance in the region, many more millions will have to be killed, by any number of means, including nuclear weapons."

What Ever Happened to "Extremism in Defense of Liberty is No Vice"?
Special Note - A quote...."Most people would consider anyone who spent so much time locked up for something he did not do to have the world’s worst luck. But both Hash and Haynesworth had incredibly good fortune in at least one regard: They had been charged with specific crimes, so it was possible – eventually – to exonerate them. -- Imagine for a moment that either man had been arrested and locked up – but not charged. Imagine his family, his friends, and his lawyers demanding to know why he had been taken into custody so they could mount a credible defense. Imagine the government telling them there was no need for a defense because there would be no trial, because there were no charges to defend against. The arrested man wasn’t going to be charged – and he wasn’t going to be released. Ever." - also posted at ICH

The Cosmos Turned Upside Down: Tolkien, The Giant 9/11 Lie, And The Evil War on Terror
A quote...."Sauron’s army in The Lord of the Rings consisted of orcs, trolls, and other beastly creatures. His power seduced many. But Sauron’s power is nothing compared to the power of the mighty sorcerers of Washington, Tel Aviv, and London, who have seduced not just orcs and trolls to join their ranks, but also hobbits, dwarves, and others. This is surprising because we don’t expect good-natured hobbits to fight on the side of evil and darkness, but this is exactly what has happened in the Evil Global War on Terror."

The United States Bill of Rights is STILL in affect, it has not, and CAN NOT, be repealed by the legislature, executive or judicial branch!!  It can ONLY be changed or altered by a constitutional convention.  Those sections of the NDAA / bill S-1867 that try to undo the Bill of Rights are illegal, unconstitutional and unenforceable on their face.  The language and intent of the offending sections in the bill DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS the Constitution and the Bill of Rights of the United States of America.  --  They are therefore null & void. -- The representatives who voted for this bill have violated their oath of office.  Any person who supports or tries to enforce the illegal sections in this bill is a terrorist and a criminal and should be subject to severe criminal and civil penalties. - mpg - posted 01-03-12

We would deserve to be dispersed through the earth like dust before the wind if we do not muster our powers at this late hour and finally find the courage which, up to now, we have lacked.

What should the average citizen know about US war history?
Special Note - A quote...."As far as I can tell, the easiest place to start in US history where government violated a crystal-clear treaty to attack and invade another country for control of land and profit is the 1846 war on Mexico. [42] Abraham Lincoln, as a freshman member of Congress and in his powerfully concise prose, proved beyond any reasonable doubt that US President Polk was a war-mongering liar. -- US corporate media lies in omission and commission to this day in their history texts and news reporting to cleanse past crimes of war from the 99%’s understanding. The facts of an active treaty, that the US Constitution states a treaty is the US’ “supreme law,” that the US obviously violated the treaty, that Abraham Lincoln laid-out the facts in stunning clarity, and that government and media lie to simply call this a “border dispute” is stunning and damning evidence of a long criminal history of US government supported by media propaganda."

Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day”. -- *Theordore Roosevelt*, April 19, 1906

I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” -- *Woodrow Wilson*, before his death in 1924

These questions automatically register in the minimally critical mind – unless, of course, you’re an American reporter, who is quite used to accepting what our government tells us without question. On the other hand, without clear evidence of another – darker – scenario, all one can do is engage in problematic speculation. That problem has been solved, however, because evidence of an alternative explanation is now coming to light which throws the whole "lone nut" theory into question."

America and Israel: Modern Day Spartas

Eventually homeland support will erode, decay, and fade. -- What can’t go on forever, won’t. Neither nation understands in their rage to fight enemies they invent because real ones don’t exist. The strategy’s doomed, but how much more death, destruction, and human misery will occur first. The thought’s chilling and appalling. -- Both nations are sham democracies. They tolerate none at home or abroad. How can they when wars define their existence. They’re not for noble aims, national security or self-defense. They’re about advancing imperial dominance and tolerating no dissent." - Source:  SteveLendman

Boundless Hypocrisy: U.S., Israel and Palestine
A quote...."Once again, Israel has used its United States-financed might to bomb the people it has oppressed for over sixty years.  Following some ineffectual aggression by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, Israel spent days bombing defenseless men, women and children, killing at least 26 people, wounding dozens of others and destroying countless homes. -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton responded as one might expect: “Let me also condemn in the strongest terms the rocket fire from Gaza by terrorists into southern Israel and we call on those responsible to take immediate action to stop these attacks.” -  She said nothing, of course, about the violent, deadly, over-the-top response from Israel. But is this surprising?" - Yes, but no doubt she giggled inanely and got girlishly "excited" and "stimulated" by all the carnage....as she has previously on other occasions. - mpg

#5)  --  A quote...."French President Sarkozy's 2012 re-election bid has been faltering almost since he was 'elected' in 2007. Long viewed by a majority of the French public as a latter-day Napoleon wannabe, some were perplexed as to how he won the 2007 presidential race, given that one year before the election, opinion polls placed him a definite second, and between then and the election he did nothing to justify his alleged increase in popularity, with his 'Bling Bling' approach to electioneering turning the stomachs of many French people."

The ex-FBI informant with a change of heart: 'There is no real hunt. It's fixed'
A quote...."Monteilh was involved in one of the most controversial tactics: the use of "confidential informants" in so-called entrapment cases. This is when suspects carry out or plot fake terrorist "attacks" at the request or under the close supervision of an FBI undercover operation using secret informants. Often those informants have serious criminal records or are supplied with a financial motivation to net suspects. -- In the case of the Newburgh Four – where four men were convicted for a fake terror attack on Jewish targets in the Bronx – a confidential informant offered $250,000, a free holiday and a car to one suspect for help with the attack." - Topix ||  The F.B.I.'s Constant Gardening  ||

How Long Will Stock Prices Remain Disconnected From Reality? - Longer than you can short it. - mpg
A quote...."The economy is nowhere near a “self sustaining” recovery. Surging stock prices are not a sign of a stronger economy, but poor monetary policy. In the last 3 years, the Fed has pumped $2.3 trillion in liquidity into the financial system. As a result, stocks have skyrocketed (The Dow Jones and S&P 500 have doubled in that same time period) while the real economy has remained flat on its back. The correlation is obvious. -- The real economy is in the tank because households and consumers are still repairing from the housing bust and financial crisis which wiped out much of their home equity and retirement savings. Working people will remain
constrained in their spending until they’re able to whittle their debtload down to a more manageable level. That could take years."

Maybe the '59 Cadillac was the bell ringing at the top of that civilizational market. -- My friend Frank Trotter, president of EverBank, was just telling me that the net worth of the median US citizen is only $6,000. That's the median, meaning that half of the people have less than that. Most people don't even have enough stashed away to buy the cheapest new car without going into debt. It used to be that people bought cars out of savings, with cash. Now they have to finance them over at least five years… or lease them – which means they never ever have even that trivial asset, but a liability in the form of a lease." - also posted at ZeroHedge
