The United Bases Of America And The Paradox Of Imperialism
Infographic Map - (click to enlarge) - (Great infographic map!) -- A quote...."The United States is estimated to have anything from 700 military bases around the world to more than 1000. Hans-Hermann Hoppe asks "how can democracy be a stable equilibrium if it is possible that it be transformed democratically into a dictatorship, i.e., a system which is considered not stable?" Concluding it may be better to heed the advice of Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn and, instead of aiming to make the world safe for democracy, we try making it safe from democracy - everywhere, but most importantly in the United States."

This comes amid mounting reports of the many civilian casualties in America's war on [of] terror - RT's Lucy Kafanov met some of them. Her report contains some graphic images." - It's a "war OF terror"!  When are people going to get it right? - mpg - For more on that issue see the quote shown below....

"Terrorism -- (Def.)   Is the deliberately random, unpredictable, unexpected and systematic use of organized violence, (which includes torture) against civilian targets (almost always to kill, hurt or maim) to induce fear or terror in, and submission by the populace to the perpetrator's goals (the perpetrator being individuals, groups or governments), or to incapacitate and break-down the society's governing structures, or in many cases, to deliberately induce a state of civil war, anarchy or sectarian conflict within a given society." -- *The Rules of Force - 09-28-12 - mpg*

'Erdogan's creeping [Saudi supported Wahhabist] Islamisation deepens divide among Turks'
RTVideo - (RTYuTb - 5min44sec - Jun 7, 2013) - Source:  RussiaToday -- A quote...."Turkey's Prime Minister is looking unlikely to ease his hardline stance towards the swelling nationwide protest against him. - Recep Tayyip Erdogan says the movement's illegal and accuses its members of brutality and provocation - as he addressed a cheering crowd of his supporters after returning from a trip to North Africa. - Some of those who gathered at the airport chanted: 'Let us go, let's crush Taksim'. RT is joined by foreign policy expert Barbara Slavin."

Outside Agitators
A quote...."by Patrick J. Buchanan - While U.S.-funded democracy promotion is portrayed as benign, the National Endowment for Democracy, the International Republican Institute, DNI and Freedom House have been linked to revolutions that brought down regimes in Serbia, Ukraine, Georgia, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, and nearly succeeded in Belarus. - People who pride themselves on bringing about revolutions should not whine when targeted regimes treat them like troublemakers. - And who directs these "pro-democracy" groups?"  - Source:  PatrickJBuchanan

Syria's Fake Sectarian War
Special Note - A quote...."June 07, 2013 "Information Clearing House - The fate of Syria and the broader Middle East balances on a razor’s edge.  The western media is giving dire warnings of an impending sectarian war between Sunni and Shia Muslims, a war that could drown the Middle East in a flood of blood. - Such a war would be completely artificial, and is being manufactured for geo-political reasons. When the most influential Sunni figures in Saudi Arabia and Qatar — both U.S. allies — recently called for Jihad against the Syrian government and Hezbollah, their obvious intentions were to boost the foreign policy of Saudi Arabia and its closest ally, the United States, by destroying Iran’s key ally in the region.Will Sunni Muslims in Syria — who are the majority — suddenly begin attacking their Shia countrymen and the Syrian government? Unlikely. A compilation of data from humanitarian workers in and around Syria compiled by NATO suggests that:

“…70 percent of Syrians support the Assad regime. Another 20 percent  were deemed neutral and the remaining 10 percent expressed support for the rebels.”

"The pro-Assad 70 percent is mostly Sunni. This data flies in the face of the constant barrage of western media distortion about what’s happening in Syria. Previous polling compiled last year by Qatar had similar results, and was likewise ignored by the western media."

Syria – Israel Is Losing the Battle
The Neocons should not despair - It's just a temporary set-back.  After Bernanke's massive flood of Bankster poop all over the United States for the last four years to support Israel's and their Neocons' PNAC Protocols, it'll take the Amerikan peasants and other Zio-slaves a little while to digest it all (it's a lot of poop).  However, by working really, REALLY hard, the peasants might be able to produce a few pennies of REAL wealth in a couple of years so the parasites (and we know who they are) who actually run the peasant's insignificant, little lives, will be able to fund another Middle East fling for the fun of one and all -- Only time will tell. - mpg  - Source:  GiladAtzmon - also posted at AlethoNews & ICH

US Zionist Lobby Reels From Resistance al-Qusayr Victory
Related Article - A quote..."Conversations and emails with former colleagues at the Democratic National Committee, on which this observer served as National Committeeman, elected from Oregon, during the Carter administration, as well as with Congressional insiders, a picture of nearly debilitating angst is sketched among those who are committed, above all else, to propping up the faltering apartheid state in the face of truly historic changes in this region that have only just begun to re-shape the region. -- The reactions from various elements of the pro-Israel lobby range from the Arabphobic Daniel Pipes’ in denial fantasy essay in the Washington Times this week, entitled “Happy Israel” to Netanyahu’s increased threats issued from Tel Aviv about what Israel might do if his three UN cartoon presented “ red lines” are breached, to layering more pressure on the White House via Israel’s agents in Congress who are demanding that Obama act immediately to undo “the major damage done at Qusayr”."

A quote...."WHEN signing up for the military, US soldiers swear to serve their country and defend the constitution with their life. - They march in harm’s way to the end of earth and sail the seas, following orders from their leaders.

I am a former special operations officer and have done intelligence investigator work for over 15years - some of it overseas - mostly in Central America - but also in the Mid-East. My political posture is 'conservative' and my religious values are Christian. - Exposing lies and revealing the truth was what I did professionally for a long time."  ---  "I was invited to Israel by a former military comrade who attained a substantial rank and subsequently ended up as the ranking military attache' from our govt., to the Israeli military (IDF). I went places and saw things only a hand full of 'private sector' Americans will EVER experience. My 'specially authorized' trips included Gaza City, Hebron and areas of militarily protected Israeli 'settlements'. I will touch on only a few of what I considered the most revealing experiences. I can't stress this enough. What I write [and speak of] here is but a tear in a sea of misery that I witnessed". - bold by website editor

On 46th Anniversary, Survivors of Israeli Attack on USS Liberty Demand Congressional Inquiry
Action Alert - A quote...."The attack began with two Israeli Mirage III fighter jets attacking the ship, claiming they assumed the antenna was a gun, and began attacking the US ship with rockets. The attacks escalated despite the ship being unable to return fire in any form, with torpedoes hitting the ship and napalm bombs setting it ablaze. -- The immediate US response was to deploy warplanes against Egypt on the assumption that they might conceivably have been the attackers. Though never confirmed, some reports have persisted that the planes had nuclear weapons on board, though they were thankfully recalled at the last moment when it was revealed that it was an Israeli attack."

The Guardian's Bombshell Revelation About NSA Domestic Spying Is Only The Tip Of The Iceberg
A quote...."Last night Glenn Greenwald revealed that the National Security Agency (NSA) is using the so-called "business records" provision of the Patriot Act to secretly collect telephone records of millions of Americans. -- Although the revelation doesn't surprise privacy advocates, the fact that Greenwald obtained a top secret court order compelling Verizon to give the NSA information on all telephone calls in its systems is the first concrete piece of evidence exposing dragnet domestic surveillance."

Confirmed: The NSA is Spying on Millions of Americans
A quote...."Today, the Guardian newspaper confirmed what EFF (and many others) have long claimed: the NSA is conducting widespread, untargeted, domestic surveillance on millions of Americans. This revelation should end, once and for all, the government's long-discredited secrecy claims about its dragnet domestic surveillance programs.

FBI: Knew About Saudi 9/11 Hijacker Ties—But Lied To Protect “National Security”
A quote...."The FBI apparently has known for a decade about links between powerful Saudi interests and the alleged 9/11 hijackers, and has been forced to tacitly admit that it lied about it for all of these years. - In case the import is not clear, let us state emphatically: this is a huge development. - In court filings seeking to stave off a media Freedom of Information request, the FBI has stated that releasing documents relating to this issue will harm “national security.”  As proof of the sensitivity of the matter, the FBI gave the judge a document dated April 4, 2002, in which the FBI states that its own inquiries “revealed many connections” between a well-connected Saudi family with a house in South Florida and “individuals associated with the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001.” - Source:  WhoWhatWhy

The explanation, ECRI explains, is simple: recession kills inflation. For all the talk of the wealth effect, demand is falling and deflation is closer than at any time since 2009. The 'r' word is seldom heard on the lips of the mainstream media - how absurd - but as SocGen's Albert Edwards notes, if anyone is waiting for the ISM to tell them that a recession has started in the US, they are looking at the wrong data. Much more importantly, Edwards explains, we may well be in for a double dose of bad news - both falling revenues and falling margins. History suggests this as good a leading indicator as any other for whether the US economy will endogenously fall back into recession."

Perhaps because we hoped that the bankers and the corporate elite would use the money for the common good.  But like they used to say when I was in the army, “Never happen G.I.”"  ---  "What finally burst my bubble though was the rise of the hedge funds, which are today for all intents and purposes in control of government. - I have known this for some time but have been in denial. However, I recently read a series of articles in a community newspaper called Tribuno del Pueblo on the takeover of the family housing market by the super rich.  It wrote that this was organized by the largest bankers and hedge-fund operators that have seized control of Fannie and Freddie Mae grabbed half the nation’s mortgages and some 200,000 homes. - “The hedge-fund speculators who are buying up hundreds and thousands of houses in foreclosures and short sales are right when they say that this is ‘the new face of real estate.’” Rounding off the collusion between the speculators and government, the Obama administration is selling off tax liens to the former the super-rich – why not Obama’s appointments come from this class."

Roughly 70% support the government of Bashar al-Assad. Another 20% are neutral. And only 10% are aligned with the Western-supported "rebels", including those of the kidnapping, lung-eating, beheading jihadi kind. - The data was provided mostly by independent relief organizations working in Syria. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) received a detailed report in late May - but, predictably, was not too keen on releasing it. - As Asia Times Online has been stressing for months, the Sunni business classes in Damascus and Aleppo are either neutral or pro-Assad.

On May 15, the UN estimated that 80,000 people had died in the war."

Obama appoints UN envoy Rice to national security position amid controversy

Eternal War
Quote of the Day...."June 04, 2013 "Information Clearing House - It is curious that soldiers are held in honor, revered, and regarded as national heroes. Psychopathic serial killers who murders fifteen co-eds are viewed with revulsion. Why the difference? The young women killed by Ted Bundy were utterly innocent. So were the Iraqis murdered by the Air Force in Baghdad. I don’t see why pointlessly killing the unoffending in one country is admirable, but in another, isn’t. -- Of course, soldiers are better at it, and thus much more destructive. They kill hugely, wreaking havoc, destroying countries and lives and cities, while the Bundys get only a few. The distinction is one of efficiency and scale. Morally they are indistinguishable."

Begging to be Holocausted, by John Kaminski
A quote...."I’m not entirely certain, but I’m pretty sure it was my mother who told me never to tell a lie, or that very same lie would some day come true. - I don’t recall the specific instance, or what the fib actually was — probably I was a third-grader trying to weasel out of some household chore like washing the dinner dishes, and I claimed to have a sore hand and just couldn’t do it. Poor little boy! Needless to say, the flimsy excuse didn’t wash, and I did. - But the lesson stuck, and to this day, when faced with something I don’t want to do, I won’t tell a lie to avoid some irksome task — this almost always comes up on the eve of a doctor’s appointment for what I think might be a needless procedure, which is always a good hunch these days. - Concoct an imaginary car problem and the next day get a flat tire. Claim I’ve come down with a cold and sure enough, shortly thereafter I’m hacking and coughing. - So I don’t do that anymore, because I’ve learned that if I tell a white lie to avoid something unpleasant, the lie eventually comes true." - also posted at TheRebel & TheTruthSeeker -- Topix  ||  More Evidence Would Have Been Better - 11-05-12 - mpg  ||

Polish nationalists defend historian who proved Jews participated in the murder of their own during Holocaust

Anti-Anti-Semitism and the Search for Historical Truth
A quote...."When did fact become myth? Is Jewish ownership of large sections of the media a myth? Are AIPAC and the US government’s subservience to Israel a myth? Is repeated interference in Church affairs by Jewish groups a myth?”–Stuart Littlewood - As Stuart Littlewood has reported, “These ‘commandments’ must be obeyed”, a new surge of suppression of criticism of the policies and actions of the government of Israel has surfaced.  These “commandments” are clearly intended to reflect a conception of anti-Semitism that is vastly broader than is justifiable and which has the effect of insulating Zionists and the State of Israel from criticism, no matter how criminal, immoral or corrupt their acts...."

Remember folks, the "Jewish" (Kazarian) population in the United States is around seven million, that's less than two percent of the total population.  With another seven million or so in Israel.  All this trouble for the last twenty years, all the wars you've been paying for, all the constant garbage you see on TV, hear on the radio, and read in the newspapers.

The NSA Is Building the Country’s Biggest Spy Center (Watch What You Say)
Special Note - A quote...."Under construction by contractors with top-secret clearances, the blandly named Utah Data Center is being built for the National Security Agency. A project of immense secrecy, it is the final piece in a complex puzzle assembled over the past decade. Its purpose: to intercept, decipher, analyze, and store vast swaths of the world’s communications as they zap down from satellites and zip through the underground and undersea cables of international, foreign, and domestic networks. The heavily fortified $2 billion center should be up and running in September 2013. Flowing through its servers and routers and stored in near-bottomless databases will be all forms of communication, including the complete contents of private emails, cell phone calls, and Google searches, as well as all sorts of personal data trails—parking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases, and other digital “pocket litter.” It is, in some measure, the realization of the “total information awareness” program created during the first term of the Bush administration—an effort that was killed by Congress in 2003 after it caused an outcry over its potential for invading Americans’ privacy."

By the time Todashev was shot, he had apparently been interrogated by three agents for five hours. And then? Who knows? First, we were told, he lunged at them with a knife. How he acquired it, five hours into a police interview, was not explained. How he posed such a threat while recovering from a knee operation also remains perplexing. - At first he drew the knife while being interviewed. Then he acquired it during a break from the interview. Then it ceased to be a knife and became a sword, then a pipe, then a metal pole, then a broomstick, then a table, then a chair.

Many of those real estate buyers aren’t your everyday bargain-hunters. They’re Wall Street and international investors.

The Quantitative Beatings Will Continue Until Economy Improves
Charts - (click to enlarge) -- A quote...."....our endless non-recovery is not in spite of the Fed’s effort, but because of it. The interest rate is not exclusive to just one business. It is universal, applying to the whole market. Every business can borrow at the prevailing rate. When will they borrow? To oversimplify slightly, they will borrow when they see an opportunity with a net profit greater than the interest rate. This will push down the rate of profit of their market. The actions of a myriad of other businesses will push down the rate of profit in every market. -- Let’s pause to consider this for a moment. The rate of interest is falling. This invites businesses to incur more debt. At the same time, their opportunities to profitably deploy the borrowed money are declining due to the very reason of falling interest rates."

Unspeakable Madness at the Turning of the Age

What a despicable creature you are Erdogan. What a vile mockery upon the human estate. You should be drilled through the ankles like Hector and dragged by a chariot around the circumference of Istanbul. One can only hope that the hand of the cosmos, delivers you into the hands of the populace. Here are crimes that warrant the Braveheart treatment. You ruthless and depraved sonofab-tch! You have put yourself on a par with Henry Kissinger and Benjamin Sh-twityahoo. You are, plainly and truthfully speaking, a monster in the camouflage of human form. Those who serve you, are an extension of your will and, god willing, will share your fate. I note that I was not amiss in referring to you as a wannabe sultan yesterday. -- You shall reap the whirlwind, Erdogan. You have damned yourself and wiped away all of the good you ever accomplished. You are a maggot in the afterbirth of these terrible times. I cannot find the words to fittingly portray you. You have impressed me in all the worst ways. May you be taken soon, you and all of your peers, who presently commit outrage after outrage, upon those you were put into the position to 'serve and protect...." - More mild criticism of Erdogan from "Reflections in a Petri Dish".  The author does have a way with words, right up there with Chris Floyd....mpg

Baffling Rise in Suicides Plagues the U.S. Military
Being forced to live a complete, sick, twisted lie for years, where every single day, day after day, you're forced to look at yourself in a mirror and confront your own criminal behavior, while being forced to bare silent witness to those of others.  To live a life of utter evil, and bone-numbing, soul destroying  hypocrisy....does tend to wear a person down after a while.  Most can't take it, a few actually revel in it. They'll be the survivors, the malevolent, sociopathic, liars who thrive in such an environment. Who actually enjoy what they do. They'll be the ones in charge if martial law is ever declared in this country.  If that happens, one day the folks in this country who continue to support this utterly corrupt system, will get to enjoy their sweet tender mercies. -- Guess there is a silver lining to any situation - mpg

By any standards the dinner was lavish – yogurt and ice cream were flown in from St Tropez – and the home was opulent. In a cable, made public by WikiLeaks, the diplomat wrote: "The house was recently renovated and includes an infinity pool … there are ancient artefacts everywhere: Roman columns, frescos and even a lion's head from which water pours into the pool. Materi insisted the pieces are real." By Tunisian standards it was particularly obscene. El-Materi owned a tiger and fed it four chickens a day."

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

40% of the World’s Banks are Publicly Owned
Special Note - Action Alert - A quote...."Ellen Brown – author of Web of Debt, and the soon-to-released book  The Public Banking Solution gave some stunning statistics at last night’s Public Banking Institute conference...."

• 40% of banks in the world are publicly owned (for background on what public banking is, see this and this).  Public banks are mainly located in the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India and China).  And all of the BRICs have fared much better during the credit crisis than the U.S. and other Western banks

• There are now 20 American states banks with pending public banking bills

• Brown notes, “For $20 million dollars, a state or local government could buy a bank, and put in all your revenues.  Then you’d be protected.  And then you could decide what you’re going to do with your money.”

• In the best years, the U.S. financial sector made 40% of all corporate profits. This is bad, given that economist Steve Keen has shown that “a sustainable level of bank profits appears to be about 1% of GDP”, and that higher bank profits leads to a ponzi economy and a depression

"University of Maryland political science professor Gar Alperovitz – former Legislative Director in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, and Special Assistant in the Department of State – also spoke at the Public Banking conference."

Show Me The Money Flow: Global Free Cash Flow And Capital Spending Contract To 2010 Levels
Chart - (click to enlarge) -- A quote..."In a world in which glaringly misreporting factual news no longer generates much more than a shrug, the latest lie reported so often by the mainstream media and various 'expert' pundits it has almost become "the truth", is that that the key missing link to a global recovery - free cash flow, and its derivative, capital expenditures - are now once more rising. After all, corporations can not grow revenue (as confirmed by the most recent reported quarterly earnings) without investing in themselves, and they can't spend for maintenance or growth unless they generate Free Cash Flow: this is simple finance 101. So in order to put this pervasive lie to rest, we present the following chart showing free cash flow and Capex in the developed "G-4" region as a % of world GDP, which have now round-tripped back to 2010 levels, and ask a simple question: what growth?"

18 Signs That Massive Economic Problems Are Erupting All Over The Planet
Special Note - Related Article - A quote...."This is no time to be complacent.  Massive economic problems are erupting all over the globe, but most people seem to believe that everything is going to be just fine.  In fact, a whole bunch of recent polls and surveys show that the American people are starting to feel much better about how the U.S. economy is performing.  Unfortunately, the false prosperity that we are currently enjoying is not going to last much longer.  Just look at what is happening in Europe.  The eurozone is now in the midst of the longest recession that it has ever experienced.  Just look at what is happening over in Asia.  Economic growth in India is the lowest that it has been in a decade and the Japanese financial system is beginning to spin wildly out of control.  One of the only places on the entire planet where serious economic problems have not already erupted is in the United States, and that is only because we have “kicked the can down the road” by recklessly printing money and by borrowing money at an unprecedented rate.  Unfortunately, the “sugar high” produced by those foolish measures is starting to wear off.  We are going to experience a massive amount of economic pain along with the rest of the world – it is just a matter of time."

Lessons From The 1930s: The Stock Market And The Economy Are Not The Same
A quote...."The stock market is not the economy. Over the long term, its performance and that of the economy tend to correlate well. However, we are in a period where markets are less influenced by economics than by government interventions. The liquidity pumped into the economy and financial asset markets is highly unusual and cannot be maintained much longer. My take is that the stock market reflects Federal Reserve pumping more than an economic recovery."

All very true, but Bernie and his Bankster Buddies simply don't care.  The ONLY important lesson they learned from the 1930's stock market crash was how to keep the 1% wealthy NO MATTER WHAT happens to the "real" economy. So far they've done a very good job. - mpg

Who Benefits If The Killing In Syria Goes On?
A quote...." The White House has said in the past few days that its top priority in Syria is to impose regime change, but this is a recipe for a very long conflict. Why should Assad and his government surrender when they are more than holding their own on the battlefield? Moreover, Washington appears to have shut the door on the idea of Iran, a main player, attending Geneva talks. This again is unrealistic if the aim of negotiations is to end the fighting. And Britain and France are playing a small but mischievous role in ensuring the slaughter in Syria continues. By successfully ending the EU embargo on arms for the rebels they will not bring talks nearer, as they pretend, but make them unlikely to take place at all. The type of weapons they will send are not going to tip the military balance. Government forces are too strong for this. The current stalemate is too well rooted in realities on the ground. The most significant impact of more arms for the rebels will be to persuade them that, if they refuse to negotiate, they will eventually get full-scale Western military intervention such as a Libya-type no-fly zone, which, in practice, meant Nato air forces joining the war.  --  It may be that Russia announced that it was selling Syria a sophisticated S-300 anti-aircraft missile system precisely in order to block this. By offering more arms, the EU will also be putting off the day when the two sides talk to each other through mutual exhaustion and the knowledge that neither can win."

One waits patiently for the screaming denunciations from the "West", for the massive arms shipments to start flowing, for a "no-fly" zone to be imposed, for an endless series of talking heads to appear on the lame-stream media to denounce the "Dictator of Turkey" for his brazen disrespect for human rights, for NATO's invasion forces to be prepositioned and for howls from every nation on the planet demanding Erdogan must go, or Erdogan must die. -- Haven't heard anything yet.  Maybe something's wrong with this website editor's TV or radio?  --  Where's Hillery when you need her, she could again say, as she did after Ghadifi was sodomized with a knife and than shot dead, "We came, we saw...and he died" and girlishly giggle on national TV  - Wonder why that hasn't happened yet?? - mpg
