The Emperor’s New Speech
Special Note - A quote...."On the 23rd of May 2013, a superior actor, the leader of the "free world" gave an hour speech that was long overdue on lurking topics which had been dogging him from the mouth of his critics, left and right. The authenticity quotient certainly seemed high to many ears, especially as the voice of a heckling critic was inexplicably allowed to henpeck at great length. -- An oft-repeated phrase came to mind: Too little, too late. What can you say about the not-so-secret mission statement of a nation which never stops attempting to rule every corner of the planet 24-7? We are incrementally attempting to stem the rate of murders we commit, just because we can since this reigning Emperor has decided to want to live up to his manufactured reputation as "kinder and gentler"? Obviously this wasn't said, but certainly the message was exactly what was projected. And while the acting was certainly much better and more believable than that of GWB, we are still left with nothing more than hollow words."

Obama: Expect More Drone Strikes
Endless war, and endless lies by "our" supine presstitutes to support it. What a waste. - mpg -- A quote...."By now everyone should know that when Obama says "A" the people will hear their preferred "B" while what Obama will be doing is "C". "A" is great rhetoric, "B" is vague content and the wish to believe while "C" will be a bad policy. Why do most media still fall for this?"

Iraq Today: America’s Imperial Legacy - "Mission Accomplished"
A quote...."US imperial wars reflect mass slaughter, widespread destruction, ecocide, resource theft, exploitation, unspeakable human pain, suffering and misery, as well as permanent occupation. - Washington came to Iraq to stay. US military and other security elements infest the region. It’s the oil and unchallenged Middle East dominance, stupid. - The price of imperial arrogance is unconscionable. Ordinary people bear the cost. Countries are laid waste. Victims suffer most. Iraqis understand. - America’s war remains one of history’s greatest crimes. Iraq was the region’s most developed country. The cradle of civilization no longer exists. A militarized giant free trade zone replaced it." - Source:  SteveLendman

Guatemala's Ríos Montt Genocide Conviction Omen for US Presidents and Their Hired Assassins
A quote...."May 23, 2013 "Information Clearing House" -  José Efraín Ríos Montt began the his political and military career as a young officer taking part in the bloody successful CIA-organized coup against the first democratically elected president in Guatemalan history that was ordered by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1954. Two years earlier he had attended what peace activists call, the 'US School for Assassins,' namely, the long infamous School of the Americas.  He ended his career a few days ago, convicted of genocide by the Guatemalan court he once controlled as president and dictator."

More Tales Form the Zio-Sphere....

The "Jewish" (Kazarian) Question - Some Postulates
05-23-13
mpg

It has come to this website editor's attention that certain articles or essays on this website could be misinterpreted.  The postulates, or for a stronger characterization, the laws listed below, should clarify things.

This website editor is interested in only one issue, who (IF any specific group or individual CAN be determined) has the money/power - i.e the control - to carry out any specific acts or programs that they benefit from in a given society or social structure.  In other words, who the heck REALLY runs the joint.

There are two misconceptions that should be laid to rest immediately regarding how to determine guilt or innocence, or, if you the reader prefers, the control/responsibility for carrying out a specific act, plan, program, or policy.

One, very common misconception, is that rules, laws or behaviors should be applied differently to individuals versus larger groupings of such individuals.  This website editor is not sure why or where such discriminatory interpretations arose since it has almost always resulted in gross injustices down though the ages.  So therefore.....

Postulate One:  Just like fractals, larger and larger group structures are the composites of the individuals that make them up.  The rules and laws MUST remain the same up and down the scale of ALL such structures and organizations or massive disparities and contradictions begin to occur between and within these structures and organizations. 

This is NOT to suggest any organic function for any given social or societal structure, or for the individuals that make it up,  just simply to suggest unequal application of laws or rules depending on the size of an organization leads to inconsistencies that eventually cause catastrophic breakdowns between, and within such structures and the individuals that make them up....along with the rule of law.

Two, it appears many people firmly believe the further a group (or individual) distances itself (or his/herself) through cut-outs, patsies, contractors, subordinates, sub-groups, pseudo-gangs, and institutions, the less is that group's (or individual's) culpability for actions taken. This is not true, such simplistic, childish,  contrivances do not diminish the degree of guilt determined by the rules shown below. Therefore....

Postulate Two:  Distance through intermediaries does not affect guilt (or responsibility)  Simply maneuvering others, manipulating a given bureaucratic structure, colony, nation state, or hiring mercenaries or gangs to carry out a given plan, operation, or program does not absolve a group (or individual) of any guilt.

Guilt or innocence can exist for an individual, group, tribe, nation state, group of nation states, or empire. BUT they are based on the rules shown below....

Postulate Three:  The degree of guilt (or control) for any individual's given group and the individual him or herself, can be determined by the following.....
  1. The individuals (by proportion) willing participation in any given act(s) or program(s) to be judged.
  2. The degree the individuals (by proportion) benefits from the given act(s) or program(s) to be judged.
  3. The consistency (by proportion or in "lock-step") the individuals defend, hide, conceal or obfuscate such act(s) or program(s) or, most importantly, retaliate against those who expose such act(s) or program(s).  This is also known as the cover-up and/or media control.
The higher proportion or ratio of individuals to the group in these three measures, the greater is the group's assumed cohesiveness and therefore its, and its individuals, culpability for any actions taken, plans implemented or control exercised.

It should be noted that if responsibility, or control, is determined for a given action or crime, the "punishment" has to be appropriate, it cannot include individuals of the group that were not willing participates, did not benefit, and did not participate in the cover-up. Individuals are sacrosanct and have natural, or if you prefer, God given rights.

That said, there ARE numerous suitable and appropriate punishments that can be applied to any sized social structure or group listed above.  And they can be applied even if innocent individuals within the group suffer, without violating their rights. One just has to be creative and consistent.

Boycott is one, black-list is another (although that technique has been misused in the past), shunning is a good idea, dissolution of a corporation like the Fed, or a fee on its script (10%, 15% or 25%, whatever the market will bear, by anyone - internationally - who wishes to impose it (it is legal tender in the US so US citizens can't impose a fee)) is a good technique.

The dissolution of a supposed nation state whose population constantly engages in wonton conspiracy and murder, one which refuses to abide by international law is another. The deposition, banishment and forfeiture of all assets for supposed Monarchical families is a good example of what can be done.  There are many options. Many ways a parasitizing, criminal, consortium, or family, can be disabled, diminished,  punished and put out of business....permanently.

The degree of 1) willing participation, 2) benefit (cui bono) and 3) cover-up for any group and its members is determined by the facts and circumstances unearthed, along with the following investigatory techniques, rules of thumb and definitions (grouped by subject and in order of importance) shown below....

The Money....

All one can say when applying the postulates and tests shown above to the articles and databases posted to this website during the last six years, is that there appears to be a very definite, planned pattern of parasitism that has developed, at least to this website editor's eye.

This pattern of parasitism has grown ever larger for the the last 150 years.  It has shifted from Tzarist Russia, to Europe, thence to England (where it still resides to this day) and finally to the United States, where it found fertile ground and has flowered into an all consuming, evil, metastatic, monster. -- A pattern of parasitism that appears to have been conducted by a specific, identifiable, and cohesive group of people.

Societies are infiltrated in selected countries, the central banks are taken over, the media and governing structures succumb soon thereafter, and as night follows day....inevitably, highly timed and predictable (and therefore highly profitable) wars and economic booms and busts start happening on regular basis for the benefit of the parasitic class.

Groups and nations are literally "played", one against another, for the sadistic amusement and financial advantage of these parasites until the infected nation states and their populations are reduced to ruin and destitution.  Whereupon the parasites (whoever they may be) move on to another host.

That said however, much additional work needs to be done to determine how much benefit and how much control, (by determining the ownership structure of the offending institutions) and most importantly how cohesive and collective (and therefore how collectively guilty) the Kazarian ("Jewish") Community actually is in facilitating all the wars and false flag events the world community has endured and suffered for the last 150 years. 

But to be bluntly honest, so far it's not looking good....for them

This website editor strongly encourages everyone out their to do their own research regarding these issues.

Fetzer Questions Holocaust – Call the Spanish Inquisition!
A quote...."But last night at Gilad Atzmon’s talk in Madison, Wisconsin, Fetzer outdid himself. In the discussion session following Atzmon’s presentation, Fetzer announced his support for holocaust revisionism. After studying the issue, he says, he has concluded that the six-million-victims figure is grossly exaggerated, and that revisionists like Dr. Nick Kollerstrom who assert there were no mass gassings in gas chambers are right." - Topix:  ||  More Evidence Would Have Been Better - 11-05-12 - mpg  ||

Al Jazeera Deletes Its Own Controversial Op-Ed, Then Refuses to Comment - posted at ICH
A quote...."May 21, 2013 "Information Clearing House" -"The Guardian" - Last Tuesday, Al Jazeera English published a lengthy Op-Ed by Columbia professor and Middle East scholar Joseph Massad entitled "The Last of the Semites". Massad's argument was obviously controversial: he highlighted the shared goal between the early Zionist movement and Europe's anti-Jewish bigots (namely, the removal of Jews from the continent), detailed the cooperation between German Nazis and Zionists to facilitate the departure of Jews out of Europe (the existence of that cooperation is not in dispute, though the extent of it very much is), and highlighted the extensive disagreements among Jews themselves over the wisdom and justness of Zionism (large numbers of European Jews were insistent that they did not want to, and should not have to, leave their homelands for a distant land that was not theirs)." - Source:  TheGuardian

[US] Senate Betrays Constitution for Israel: Commitment to attack Iran
A quote...."In a stunning betrayal of the Constitution of the United States, which obligates the United States to conform to the UN Charter and international law, the US Senate has before it a resolution that commits the nation to support Israel militarily, diplomatically, and economically should it decide to attack Iran “in its legitimate self-defense”, where every action Israel has ever taken–from the Six Days War to its incursions into Lebanon–has been deemed by the American government to be “in its legitimate self-defense”."

They must be “xenophobic and anti-Semitic.” That at least is what we’re told in the story below. The story also informs us of a letter sent to Secretary of State John Kerry by a dozen Jewish organizations voicing concern over Jobbik and rising “anti-Semitism” in Hungary."

This second summary will expound upon many of these revelations, exposing new players, going behind the curtains of new nations and returning to critical plot points already discussed to present an even more damning account of the overall agenda of the Jewish exploitation machine vigorously gnawing at the core of the African continent. Thus, “the more details, the more devils,” and assuredly, the following will not contain a shortage of either."

Are We Headed For Rampant Inflation Or Crippling Deflation? The Answer May Surprise You
Charts - (click till enlarged) -- A quote...."Is the coming financial collapse going to be inflationary or deflationary?  Are we headed for rampant inflation or crippling deflation?  This is a subject that is hotly debated by economists all over the country.  Some insist that the wild money printing that the Federal Reserve is doing combined with out of control government spending will eventually result in hyperinflation.  Others point to all of the deflationary factors in our economy and argue that we will experience tremendous deflation when the bubble economy that we are currently living in bursts.  So what is the truth?  Well, for the reasons listed below, I believe that we will see both.  The next major financial panic will cause a substantial deflationary wave first, and after that we will see unprecedented inflation as the central bankers and our politicians respond to the financial crisis.  This will happen so quickly that many will get “financial whiplash” as they try to figure out what to do with their money.  We are moving toward a time of extreme financial instability, and different strategies will be called for at different times." - also posted at DProgram

An Ignorance and Denial too Vast to Measure
Must Read - A quote...."Depending on who you listen to, you might hear pretty much anything and depending on how you are disposed, you might believe almost anything. I am an optimist and I don't want to change. This sometimes means that I have to accept, dispassionately, the necessity for certain things to happen to certain people because that's what it's going to take to wake their asses up, even if that means their asses wind up composted with the dead leaves of a departing age. When I, rarely and occasionally, find myself in the comments section of one website or another, like Bill Maher's blog, or any number of places, where the great (formerly unwashed) uninformed may gather, to anonymously joust and call each other names, I am... uh... uh; you know; I can usually find whatever word I'm looking for. Usually, I've got many words to choose from to say most anything but... when I witness the spectacle of incomprehensible dumbasses, at this point in time... at this point in time, still waxing ignorant of what should have long ago dawned on even household pets... I am left stunned! Aghast! Somehow those words are just not adequate to the needs of what needs be said. Is it possible for people to be so... so f-cking stupid, through such a length of telling and damning events, which should long ago have stripped them of their capacity to believe a single thing being said by a single person, in any position of temporal authority in the Israeli occupied United States, Israeli occupied Canada, Australia and many parts of Europe?" -- Topix ||  9/11 & 7/11  Israeli Connection  ||

It is rapidly becoming a militarized gulag society – a giant open air prison.” - Nearly 1,000 American military bases occupy every corner of the planet. US troops have killed more than a million people in various countries during the past decade. Officially, this is all being done in the name of “freedom.” - Yet the USA, once one of the most free countries on earth, is no longer free.

Must Read - A quote...."Like all advanced police states, the U.S. national security regime has begun speaking its own, degenerate language. It is a mode of speech that simultaneously defines the “enemy” and justifies his or her destruction. The soulless, bureaucratic roots of National Security Speech belie the ruthless intent, which is to make the utter destruction of the targeted group or individual appear to be the natural order of things."

America: A Modern-Day Sparta - (Well, hopefully not THAT way....yech...mpg)
Must Read - A quote...."Permanent war is longstanding policy. America deplores peace. Throughout its history, it's waged war annually at home and/or abroad. Today it does so globally. - Giving peace a chance is loathed. Direct or proxy wars rage in multiple countries. - "Yes we can" reflects Obama's pro-war, pro-imperial, pro-ravage, plunder and dominate agenda. He prioritizes it. He abhors human rights,  equity, justice, and other democratic values. Rogue leaders operate that way. - Rule of law principles are spurned. Constitutional protections no longer apply.

The Decomposition of American Democracy
A quote...."On Thursday, Assistant Defense Secretary Michael Sheehan told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the war on terror would continue at least another 10 or 20 years. Alluding to last month’s lockdown of Boston, he said the president and the military would continue to assert “wartime” powers, unchecked by Congress or the courts, extending from “Boston to FATA [the Federally Administered Tribal Areas in Pakistan].” These asserted powers include the power to unilaterally launch new wars and the power to carry out assassinations, including of US citizens."

Where's All the Money Gone?
A quote...."Outside the United States, the Pentagon controls a collection of military bases unprecedented in history. With US troops gone from Iraq and the withdrawal from Afghanistan underway, it's easy to forget that we probably still have about 1,000 military bases in other peoples' lands. This giant collection of bases receives remarkably little media attention, costs a fortune, and even when cost cutting is the subject du jour, it still seems to get a free ride."

CIA: An Idea Whose Time Has Gone
A quote...."There’s a contradiction built into every campaign promise about transparent government beyond the failure to keep the promises.  Our government is, in significant portion, made up of secret operations, operations that include war-making, kidnapping, torture, assassination, and infiltrating and overthrowing governments.  A growing movement is ready to see that end." - Source:  WarIsACrime

Calling Syria A Civil War Is A Vast Deception - Carlos Voice Over
M108Video - (M108YuTb - 1min53sec - May 20, 2013) - Source:  108morris108 -- A quote...."Syria: it's not a 'civil war', it's an imperialist war 'Civil war' is a totally inaccurate label for what's going on in Syria. I think we should start calling it what it is: an imperialist war of destabilisation, where the aggressors' fighting has been outsourced to sectarian religious terrorists. This outsourcing follows the same logic as any other type of outsourcing: it's cheaper. The political and economic cost of pushing thousands of Iraqi, Libyan and Saudi (etc) terrorists in Syria's direction is extremely low, at least in the short term."

Why Was A Sunday Times Report On US Government Ties To Al-Qaeda Chief Spiked?

Good News From Benghazi, The IRS, Syria And Obama
A quote...."Netanyahu has been  to China and Russia. Both Netanyahu and Secretary of State John Kerry wanted Russia to back down from their support for Syria. And fortunately for us, they were sent home with a stern warning. The Russians have sent 12 additional ships into the Mediterranean to emphasize their dissenting view. -- Things are going well for the Syrians on the ground. In less than 90 days the Syrians will have a force of 150,000 newly trained volunteers ranging in age  from 18 to 26 to augment their regular army. This will greatly increase Syria’s ability to respond quickly to attacks from NATO’s mercenaries. Over 100,00 Syrians have been killed by the invading thugs. They have butchered unarmed women and children. They have burned down mosques and churches. They gouged out the eyes of priests. In 90 days the NATO countries will have to give up on this foolish proxy war against Iran through Syria."

More Tales From the Zio-Sphere....

The Zionists Have No Clothes - Part 1: The Debunked Middle-Eastern Roots
Must Read - A quote...."You could almost feel sorry for the Zionists. They have invested so much time, effort and passion into telling everyone how the Jews got kicked out of their own country by those evil Roman imperialists, dispersed all over the world, kicked out of every single European country, over 200 times altogether, for no good reason, and eventually almost entirely wiped out in an industrial scale genocide by Nazi Germany, so that nobody would have the heart to refuse them the wish to return to their ancient homeland. Too bad, it all turns out to be nothing but a myth."

The Zionists Have No Clothes - Part 2: The Debunked Anti-Semitism Hoax
Must Read - A quote...."Whenever Jews get criticised for doing the wrong thing, they accuse their opponent of ‘anti-Semitism’. “It’s a trick we always use”, admitted former Israeli minister Shulamit Aloni in an interview with Jewish-American Journalist Amy Goodman. - So here you got it right form the horse’s mouth that Jews are motivated by a sinister agenda when accusing their opponents of anti-Semitism. But what is it exactly what they are accusing them of? We know that it has nothing to do with ill feeling towards Semites. Anyone familiar with the Jewish-Palestinian conflict must have heard of Arthur Koestler’s The Thirteenth Tribe or Shlomo Sand’s The Invention of the Jewish People and be well aware of the fact that modern Jews are no Semites...."

Is it Nakba Time for Zionism?
A quote...."The 65th celebration of the ‘Independence of Israel’ and the corresponding annual Nakba commemoration provide an obvious platform for turning Israel inside out if you add one more ingredient. When President Ahmadinejad was maliciously misquoted in his comment of ‘erasing the Zionist regime from the sands of time’, as ‘wiping Israel off the map’, most of the world was appalled.  --   It was of course a psy ops Intel coup. But a correction has never been forthcoming which shows the contempt corporate media as for its audience.  --  The time could not be more perfect to start the discussion of how to Nakba the militant Zionists out of Israel. The CIA released a long term study a few years ago where they also concluded that Israel, in its present political form as a racist occupation state, would not exist in twenty years. The story on the report died after one day."

Russia supplies Syria with sophisticated Yakhonts missile-system, making naval blockade largely impossible…
A quote...."Israel tells Russia that sending missiles to Syria will start a war - Russia has sent advanced antiship cruise missiles to Syria, a move that illustrates the depth of its support for the Syrian government led by President Bashar al-Assad, American officials said Thursday. - Russia has previously provided a version of the missiles, called Yakhonts, to Syria. But those delivered recently are outfitted with an advanced radar that makes them more effective, according to American officials who are familiar with classified intelligence reports and would only discuss the shipment on the basis of anonymity."
Keep in mind folks, the criminal syndicate occupying Palestine is composed of just a little over seven million, lying, vicious, thieving, psychotic, (mostly) non-Semitic, Caucasoid, Kazarians, who have caused no end of trouble for the rest of the eight billion people living on this planet.  Enough already, why don't they just shut-up. - mpg
Covert Israeli Forces Inside Syria Within Rebel Ranks? Israeli Military Vehicle Seized
A quote...."Al Qseir is a strategic border town on the Northern frontier of Lebanon. Occupied by rebels, it was taken back by Syrian forces on Monday. - Al-Qseir  controls the highway which runs from the Lebanese border to Homs. It is through this border city that weapons and foreign mercenaries have entered Syria. - According to SANA, quoting (unconfirmed) media source....“The seizure of an Israeli military vehicle which terrorists had been using in al-Qseir refutes the allegations made by Israel to justify its aggression on Syria and proves the scale of Israel’s military and intelligence involvements in the events in Syria.”"

Israel Media Report: We Will Assassinate Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.”
Israel is out'a'control.  If the EU doesn't do something about these creeps one day when they don't get their way, they WILL, sooner or later, start assassinating others, including European officials. - mpg --  A quote...."The Israeli regime’s security bodies are working on a plot to assassinate Syrian President Bashar al-Assad with the help of terrorist groups and armed rebels in the country after Damascus showed strength and months of resistance against the terrorist attacks orchestrated by US, Israel and their Arab partners, the Israeli media reported."

Zionist Logic -- Malcolm X on Zionism
A quote...."The Israeli Zionists are convinced they have successfully camouflaged their new kind of colonialism. Their colonialism appears to be more "benevolent," more "philanthropic," a system with which they rule simply by getting their potential victims to accept their friendly offers of economic "aid," and other tempting gifts, that they dangle in front of the newly-independent African nations, whose economies are experiencing great difficulties. During the 19th century, when the masses here in Africa were largely illiterate it was easy for European imperialists to rule them with "force and fear," but in this present era of enlightenment the African masses are awakening, and it is impossible to hold them in check now with the antiquated methods of the 19th century. -- The imperialists, therefore, have been compelled to devise new methods. Since they can no longer force or frighten the masses into submission, they must devise modern methods that will enable them to manouevre the African masses into willing submission. -- The modern 20th century weapon of neo-imperialism is "dollarism.""

Kennedy’s insistence on right of return prompted Ben-Gurion to rewrite history: They fled ‘of their own free will’

A quote...."Incredible piece of reporting on the Nakba at 'Haaretz' from Shay Hazkani, and meaningful at many levels. It shows what the scholar Victor Kattan has documented, that several US presidents were for the right of return. Kennedy wanted several hundred thousand to be allowed to return, and Israel said 20-30,000."
Kennedy didn't like the private banking cartel known as the Federal Reserve, he obviously thought the Israelis were treating the Palestinians very badly....he didn't last very long in office, his career was cut short. something that happens to a lot of people who challenge Israel, usually in not so dramatic a fashion of course, but it does happen, and it happens every single time. - mpg
The Rise and Fall of the Holocaust Industry
A quote...."When Norman Finkelstein wrote The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering in 2000, he argues that Holocaust “hoaxers” and “hucksters”—namely Jewish organizations—have exploited what happened in Nazi Germany in order to get millions of dollars from Swiss banks.[2] Finkelstein calls those Jewish leaders a “repellent gang of plutocrats, hoodlums, and hucksters.”[3] - The book was quickly denounced as a work of an anti-Semite, despite the fact that Finkelstein lost his grandparents in Nazi Germany. Finkelstein was teaching at Hunter College at the time and lost his job right after the publication of the book.[4]"

Church of Scotland Report Challenging Jews’ ‘Divine Right’ to Palestine Unchanged
A quote...."I  soon gave up comparing the two versions word for word to spot the difference. The press release gives no clues either. In it, Convener Sally Foster-Fulton simply says: “We believe that this new version has paid attention to the concern some of the language of the previous version caused amongst the Jewish community whilst holding true to our concerns about the injustices being perpetrated because of policies of the Government of Israel against the Palestinian people that we wanted to highlight.

Obama’s Endgame
Must Read - A quote...."History demonstrates that the descent into war is preceded with a justification, real or contrived. As with all tyrants, if a legitimate justification for the impending conflict is not forthcoming, the despot, in this case Obama, will simply make one up. And the way that this objective is reached is through the creation of a false flag event. -  Make no mistake about it, this is coming to America. In Part Two of this series, it was demonstrated the Federal Reserve needs to seize the Iranian oil fields in order to save the Petrodollar. This means we will be at war with Russia and probably China and India who are buying Iranian oil in gold." - also posted at FromTheTrenches

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

Markets Are On A Crazy, Sugar-Fuelled Journey
Must Read - In Plain Language - A quote...." The Western world is yet to stage a meaningful recovery from the sub-prime debacle. The fundamentals remain awful. The eurozone economy, we learnt last week, contracted 0.9pc during the first quarter and has now been shrinking since late 2011 — Europe’s longest post-war recession. The UK is still enduring its slowest recovery since records began. Yet Western stock indices have been setting repeated all-time highs. -- As financial markets dance, though, lost in the QE trance music, massive questions now loom. The ECB has expanded its balance sheet 150pc during the five years since the sub-prime collapse. The Fed has overseen a 220pc ballooning of base money. -- “Extraordinary measures” on this scale may be unprecedented but both look moderate compared to the Bank of England, which has implemented balance sheet growth of 370pc since the credit crunch began in earnest — the vast majority of it, in a bizarre form of circular financing, being used to buy government bonds." - bold by website editor

Bernanke "Wealth Effect" Completely Wasted On Trillions In Pension Funds

Well, so far no good. The real economy, as discussed at length, is not recovering; but the question of just who is benefiting from the wealth effect is unclear. As the following charts across the 100 largest G4 pension plans show, the asset managers have missed the trickle-down."

The flotilla attack and the deaths of eight Turkish citizens and one Turkish-American were mentioned today by Turkey’s Prime Minister Erdoğan during his press conference with President Obama, demonstrating the importance Turkey places on this issue."

The 9/11 Phone Calls: Disturbing Irregularities Uncovered in the Calls that Flashed around the World

Uhhh....why is this article in Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal??? Anybody??? - mpg -- A quote...." The famous "let's roll" drama of the passenger revolt on UA 93 was relayed by passenger Todd Beamer's 13-minute unrecorded seat-back call to GTE telephone supervisor Lisa Jefferson, who reported Beamer as strangely tranquil, declining to speak to his wife. Eerily, Beamer's line remained open for 15 minutes after the crash. -- Oddly, the Verizon wireless record shows that 19 calls were made from Beamer's cell phone long after the crash of UA 93. -- Initial media reports and FBI interviews detailed more than a dozen cell phone calls from the planes at high elevation. -- Yet in 2001, a telephone spokesperson stated that sustained mobile calls were not possible above 10,000 feet."

“(CBS News senior correspondent John) Miller claims, without supplying ONE…SHRED OF EVIDENCE OR EVEN THE NAME OF THE ‘SOURCE’ OF THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev just happened to ‘FIND A PEN’ while hiding in the boat bleeding and then began to write the exact same things he supposedly said in the interview with the feds prior to being read his Miranda rights after his arrest. You know, the confession that will be inadmissible in court because it came prior to him being read his rights?  --  “Oh wait, he couldn’t have ‘said’ those things because his throat had been cut on the scene after his arrest….   “He never explains how come they failed to find this CONFESSION written in the tiny little boat as they were pouring over it looking for the guns he never had.

Terrorist Plots, Hatched by the F.B.I.

A would-be suicide bomber was intercepted on his way to the Capitol; a scheme to bomb synagogues and shoot Stinger missiles at military aircraft was developed by men in Newburgh, N.Y.; and a fanciful idea to fly explosive-laden model planes into the Pentagon and the Capitol was hatched in Massachusetts. -- But all these dramas were facilitated by the F.B.I., whose undercover agents and informers posed as terrorists offering a dummy missile, fake C-4 explosives, a disarmed suicide vest and rudimentary training. Suspects naïvely played their parts until they were arrested." - Topix  ||  The F.B.I.'s Constant Gardening  ||

Washington Signals Dollar Deep Concerns  - Paul Craig Robert's Donation Drive
Must Read - A quote...."Over the past month there has been a statistically improbable concurrence of events that can only be explained as a conspiracy to protect the dollar from the Federal Reserve’s policy of Quantitative Easing (QE). - Quantitative Easing is the term given to the Federal Reserve’s policy of printing 1,000 billion new dollars annually in order to finance the US budget deficit by purchasing US Treasury bonds and to keep the prices high of debt-related derivatives on the “banks too big to fail” (BTBF) balance sheets by purchasing mortgage-backed derivatives. Without QE, interest rates would be much higher, and values on the banks’ balance sheets would be much lower."

They discuss how it is that every benchmark index is rigged and introduce the concept of the 'bonus benchmark.' In the second half, Max talks to Dr. Michael Hudson, author of The Bubble and Beyond, about debt and wage deflation and about the intersection of interest rates and wages going back to David Ricardo when wages were measured against the price of bread to today when they are measured against the price of debt."

Why Bonds Aren't Dead & The Dollar Will Get Weaker
Charts - (click to enlarge) -- A quote...."There have been quite a few bold predictions, since the beginning of the year, that the dollar was set to soar and that the great "bond bull market" was dead.  The primary thesis behind these views was that the economy was set to strengthen and inflation would begin to seep its way back into the system.  Furthermore, the "Great Rotation" of bonds into stocks, on the back of said economic strength, would push interest rates substantially higher.  --  While I have no doubt that at some point down the road that inflation will become an issue, interest will rise and the dollar will strengthen - it just won't be anytime soon.  A wave of "disinflation" is currently engulfing the globe as the Eurozone economy slips back into recession, China is slowing down and the U.S. is grinding into much slower rates of growth.  Even Japan, despite their best efforts through a massive QE program, cannot seem to break the back of the deflationary pressures on their economy.  This is a problem that has yet to be recognized by the financial markets." - also posted at ZeroHedge

In the Time Between Crises
A quote...."The working premise of politicians and economists in the ‘developed’ world of the West is a basic economic stability has been achieved by way of the depth and breadth of the political-economic institutions created over the last 75 years. The storyline coming out of Washington, London and Brussels is of degrees of economic ‘recovery,’ if halting, from the Great Recession. But missing are the institutions on which stability was based. They were removed in recent decades in favor of ‘market’ based reforms. What remains are institutions—the political establishment and the Federal Reserve, that support and foster the worst excesses of unfettered capitalism. This suggests periods of economic ‘recovery’ are now whatever lies between the periodic crises endemic to capitalism."
Well....calling these recent cycles of massive financial over-leveraging and printing "capitalism" is slightly unfair.  When a few dozen financial institutions lose tens of trillions through malinvestment and corruption and then have a bunch of central banks they're affiliated with print up tens of trillions of dollars to paper over their mistakes....so they can make them again. That hardly meets the traditional definition of "capitalism" . - mpg

Europe's EUR 500 Billion Ticking NPLTime Bomb
Charts - (click to enlarge) -- A quote...."Europe's non-performing loan problem is such an issue that there is increasing bluster that the ECB may take this garbage on to its balance sheet since policymakers realize that bad debts and non-performing loans (NPLs) reduce the capacity of banks to lend, hindering the monetary policy transmission mechanism. Bad debts consume capital and make banks more risk averse, especially with respect to lending to higher risk borrowers such as SMEs. With Italy (NPLs 13.4%) now following the same dismal trajectory of Spain's bad debts, the situation is rapidly escalating (at an average of around 2.5% increase per year)."

Latvia Joins Greece In Deflation As EU Inflation Slumps
Chart - (click to view) -- A quote...."Inflation slowed in 24 (of 27) EU nations in April to leave the average EU rate at 1.4% (versus 1.9% in March). Greece entered deflation in March for the first time in 45 years and Latvia consumer prices fell 0.4% in April (versus +2.8% a year ago). This notable plunge, while 'helpful' for the average spender in the short-term, is a problem, as Bloomberg's Niraj Shah notes, sustained falling prices will increase the nation's debt burden. At the other end of the spectrum, Romania and Estonia both have inflation running above 4% and 3% respectively. Of course, none of this serial 'depression' matters, since Draghi has your back and Hollande says "the crisis is over.""

The Central Banks' Gold: a story of silent expropriation (II)
There are over thirty countries that supposedly keep their gold in the vaults of lower Manhattan at the privately owned banking cartel known as the Federal Reserve of New York....and it ain't there!! Period. - mpg -- A quote...."Erik Sprott, a billionaire and well-known investor with 35-years of experience working in financial markets and a great connoisseur of the intricacies of the gold trade, believes that official statistics clearly do not fully take into account the actual demand for gold on the world market (typically estimated to be between 4,000 and 4,500 tonnes per year). According to his calculations, the actual demand for this precious metal over the last decade was an average of 2,300 tonnes higher than the official figures cited by the World Gold Council and other reputable organisations8. The supply of gold through new mining operations and scrap gold is clearly not enough to cover the world's actual gold demand."

It’s Official: Gold is Now the Most Hated Asset Class
A quote...."Not a day passes without the financial media denouncing gold as an investment option and hailing the bureaucrats heading the world's monopolist monetary central planning agencies as superheroes. It began prior to gold's recent breakdown, with widely cited bearish reports on gold published by Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs, among others. Never mind that most of their arguments were easily unmasked as spurious. It should be no wonder though: gold's rise was the most conspicuous evidence of faith in central banking being slowly but surely undermined. The banking cartel relies on the fiat money system remaining intact; the legal privilege of fractional reserve banking provides it with what is an essentially fraudulent profit center unparalleled by any other in the world (fraudulent in terms of traditional legal principles, but not in terms of the current law of course). Not surprisingly, ever since the completely unrestrained fiat money system became operational in the early 1970s, the financial sector's share of corporate profits has inexorably risen and finally eclipsed all other sectors of the economy."

His regime has certainly suffered many setbacks during the brutal civil war that shows no signs of ending, but it's clear right now that Assad and his followers have been gaining momentum. - The most recent example came just a few days ago, when Syrian forces took control of a town near the highway that links Damascus to neighboring Jordan. After battles with the opposition, government troops reopened the roadway near Khirbet Ghazaleh. - Re-establishing control means Syrian soldiers are in a better position now to block the transfer of arms from Jordan, bound for opposition fighters." - Source:  CBC
