Afghanistan: The Top Ten Lies that Recur in the Mainstream Media - posted at ICH
Must Read - A quote...."June 20, 2012 "Information Clearing House" -- Recent announcements by the leaders of several of the nations forming the international assistance force in Afghanistan regarding their involvement post 2014 and their reasons for staying at least until then make it appropriate to consider the ostensible reasons for the invasion and occupation of this strategically located country. In considering recent history and those stated reasons there are at least ten major lies that recur in the mainstream media." - Topix ||  Reficultnias's 9/11 Central  ||

Must View A&EVideo - Alt - (A&EYuTb - Jun 21, 2012) - Source:  ae911truth -- A quote..."Why can't the experts get their stories straight?" - As the video points out in one of its segments, the presstitutes first started with the "molten steel" story till the lackeys employed by this nation's parasites realized that would support the use of energetic chemical accelerators (thermite, thermate and other explosives) whereupon they rapidly (and hysterically) backpedaled as fast as their lying little pens and mouths could go. - mpg

Graphic - (click to view - from VNN) -- A quote...."June 21, 2012 "Information Clearing House" -- The dogs of war are barking in the backyard and some deranged minds seem determined to swing open the gates – again. At the same time, the American people, the only ones who can stop the savagery, are saddled with long-term debt, deficits and depression. -- As the new age Romans mission-creep toward the next doomed Middle East neighborhood, this time in Syria, when does the quaint phrase “experiencing déjà vu” become just a polite way of saying we are apathetic spectators at the Circus Maximus? Does uttering mindless platitudes while the swords are swinging make us accomplices to death and destruction? Do our politicians – the nice guys who bailed out the bankers to the tune of trillions while we got cash for clunkers – really care about innocent civilians abroad who are getting caught in the crossfire?" - also posted at Veteran'sNewsNow

More Tales From the Zio-Sphere....

Victor Ostrovsky: (1) How Mossad Got America to Bomb Libya & Fight Iraq
Must Read - Some quotes.... "The Mossad - believe it or not - has just 30 to 35 case officers, or katsas, operating in the world at any one time. The main reason for this extraordinary low total, as you will read in this book, is that unlike other countries, Israel can tap the significant and loyal cadre of the worldwide Jewish community outside Israel. This is done through a unique system of sayanim, volunteer Jewish helpers."  ---  "One thing you know for sure is that even if a Jewish person knows it is the Mossad, he might not agree to work with you - but he won't turn you in. You have at your disposal a nonrisk recruitment system that actually gives you a pool of millions of Jewish people to tap from outside your own borders. It's much easier to operate with what is available on the spot, and sayanim offer incredible practical support everywhere. But they are never put at risk - nor are they privy to classified information."   ---  "There are thousands of sayanim around the world. In London alone, there are about 2,000 who are active, and another 5,000 on the list. They fulfill many different roles. A car sayan, for example, running a rental agency, could help the Mossad rent a car without having to complete the usual documentation...." - also posted at Reficultnias

Sayanim — Israeli Operatives in the U.S
A quote...."Americans know that something fundamental is amiss. They sense—rightly—that they are being misled no matter which political party does the leading. -- A long misinformed public lacks the tools to grasp how they are being deceived. Without those tools, Americans will continue to be frustrated at being played for the fool."

A quote...."It is indisputable that Mossad, much like the KGB, the CIA and MI5/6 are government trained and government paid terrorists and assassins. -- The latest debacle had Mossads prints all over it. -- But that is only the most recent in a long line of crimes commited with seeming impunity."

From the History File - November 3, 2007 - A quote...."The influential French daily Le Figaro last week revealed that the French leader once worked for -- and perhaps still does, it hinted -- Israeli intelligence as a sayan (Hebrew for helper), one of the thousands of Jewish citizens of countries other than Israel who cooperate with the katsas (Mossad case-officers). - A letter dispatched to French police officials late last winter -- long before the presidential election but somehow kept secret -- revealed that Sarkozy was recruited as an Israeli spy."

U.S., Israel fired up Flame cyberattack, report says
A quote...."The U.S. and Israel developed and carried out the Flame virus attacks on Iran, according to a new report. -- The Washington Post reports, citing sources, that Flame was the brainchild of the U.S. National Security Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, and Israel's military. The focus of the malware was to surreptitiously map and monitor Iran's networks to deliver sustained intelligence to the government organizations. That information could then be used for other attacks. -- "This is about preparing the battlefield for another type of covert action," an intelligence official told the Washington Post. "Cyber-collection against the Iranian program is way further down the road than this."

Fake Al Qaeda
A quote...."The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the 'devil' only in order to drive the TV watcher to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the US . . ." -- *Pierre-Henri Bunel*

The Fast and Furious scandal is turning into President Obama's Watergate
Fast & Furious Goes Ballistic -- A quote...."Fast and furious hasn’t been discussed a lot in the mainstream media, which is why the facts can seem so preposterous when you read them for the first time. But the story is slowly unraveling and the public is catching up with the madness. On Wednesday, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt over his decision to withhold documents related to the “gun walking” operation – documents that President Obama tried to keep secret by invoking executive privilege. The question of why the Prez intervened in this way will surely hang over the investigation and the White House for many months to come. Be patient, conservatives. It took nearly eight months for the Watergate break in to become a national news story. But when it finally did, it toppled a President."

A quote...."US President Barack Obama has intervened [a.k.a. obstruction of justice, possible accessory before the fact] in a Capital Hill probe centered on Attorney General Eric Holder, asserting executive privilege to keep documents linked to the Fast and Furious gun smuggling operation withheld from Congress. -- In the midst of an investigation being spearheaded by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, President Obama once more departed from his campaign promise of a transparent presidency by granting executive privilege on behalf of Holder early Wednesday to keep Congress from obtaining documents involved in the gunwalking scheme. The House committee was considering charging Holder with being in contempt of Congress for refusing to release documents to the panel, to which the White House responded on Wednesday by allowing the attorney general to go ahead with his refusal."

Top General Accused of Blocking Corruption Probe to Help Obama

Is Obama Dangerous to the People and to his Master's. Will He Give Up Power?
2012 Election Cycle - A quote...."It is a very dangerous time between now and Election Day. Right now, we see Obama's support base erode inside the party and among black Americans. Obama has been good puppet for carrying out his masters wishes implementing the agenda. He has been bad also because he has awoken up many people to his real plan for America.

We are seeing the left in the media and in politics turning against Obama and promoting Romney."

The Economic Consequences of the Peace
Second Quote of the Day...."Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some. The sight of this arbitrary rearrangement of riches strikes not only at security, but at confidence in the equity of the existing distribution of wealth. Those to whom the system brings windfalls, beyond their deserts and even beyond their expectations or desires, become "profiteers,", who are the object of the hatred of the bourgeoisie, whom the inflationism has impoverished, not less than of the proletariat."

"As the inflation proceeds and the real value of the currency fluctuates wildly from month to month, all permanent relations between debtors and creditors, which form the ultimate foundation of capitalism, become so utterly disordered as to be almost meaningless; and the process of wealth-getting degenerates into a gamble and a lottery."

"Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." - bold by website editor  ---  *John Maynard Keynes*, from "The Economic Consequences of the Peace", - Chapter VI - [par. 13] - Europe after the Treaty - May 6, 2005 - The Project Gutenberg eBook - [eBook #15776]

Abandoning Ship - The Eurozone is failing at an accelerating rate
A quote...."It will be no surprise to PeakProsperity.com readers that the news coming out of the Eurozone just gets worse and worse. The reality is that Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Greece, and France (in no particular order) are all in debt traps from which there is no escape. A debt trap is sprung when bankruptcy becomes the only outcome. With corporations, this usually becomes readily apparent and directors are forced by law to stop trading, but countries conceal this reality by printing money. Otherwise there is no difference in the two cases, despite what politicians and neoclassical economists would have us believe. This is why we are painfully aware that the Eurozone is in trouble, since nation states are unable to cover and conceal their obligations by printing money, having surrendered this role to the European Central Bank (ECB)." - also posted at ZeroHedge

Must Read - A quote...."From day one after the 1967 war, Israel's actions in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Jerusalem suggest the occupation was not temporary and underscore Israel’s desire to erase the concept of the Palestinian nation by undermining the connection between the people and their land or history. In an effort to incorporate as much as possible of the occupied lands, Israel governed the occupied lands by making distinction between the land and its Palestinian inhabitants and referred to the Palestinians only as ‘Arabs’." - also posted at AlethoNews

War by Other Means Against the Palestinians in Israel
A quote...."Politics is the continuation of war by other means,” Michel Foucault wrote in “Society Must Be Defended” (2003), reversing Clausewitz’s well-worn dictum. Foucault’s point is that there is a continuous battle of sorts that takes place in times of peace, and the public space that hosts civil society, with all its depth, substance, and methods of influence, is the ultimate field of battle. Foucault asserts the importance of replacing the juridical discourse with the discourse of war. According to him, the law and official political agreements are imbued with violence and the modern ”achievements” of establishing governmental political institutions only serve to obscure a continuous infrastructure of war that is inherent to such institutions. Utilizing this interpretation, I hope to show how the war waged on Palestinians in Israel rages on."

Palestinian village faces demolition by Israel
A quote...."SUSIYA, West Bank—Palestinians in this hamlet have clung to their arid acres for decades, living without proper electricity or water while Israel provides both to Jewish settlers on nearby hills. But the end now seems near for Susiya: Demolition orders distributed last week by the Israelis aim to destroy virtually the entire village."

Israel breaks [ten thousandth] deal, renews detention of hunger striker

Palestinian from Jaffa badly wounded in blade attack by Jewish fanatics
A quote...."OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Extremist Jewish settlers on Thursday morning stabbed a Palestinian young man from Jaffa city causing him a serious injury. -- A Palestinian source said the Palestinian young man was stabbed by three Jewish settlers while he was working inside his shop in Rishon Lezion city."

Ministry: Boy killed as Israel bombs Gaza City
A quote...."GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- A 14-year-old boy was killed Wednesday afternoon as Israel bombed Gaza City in the third day of strikes on the enclave, Gaza's health ministry said."

Occupied Lives: Farming without a Market
A quote...."Hatem Khadeir (34) rents 5 dunnums of farmland with his brother Ahmed (43) in Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip, just 700 meters from Israel’s border.  Their older brother Jafer (52) rents another 5 dunnums of farmland closer to the border.  On the surface it is an idyllic life, with all three brothers working together on the land to raise their families, and before the border closed, it was: “We farmed bell peppers, potatoes, honeydew, onions, flowers and strawberries.  We were able to provide for 50% of our needs by farming.  Now, we cannot provide for any of our needs from farming.  Our lives are completely different because of Israel’s closing of our borders.”"

Israel orders demolition of homes, solar panel near Hebron
A quote...."HEBRON (Ma'an) -- Israeli authorities handed demolition orders on Monday for four homes and a solar panel in a south Hebron village, official media said."

A quote...."Over the last year, new details of the disaster have emerged that build a picture of an organization that ignored or concealed that its reactors might be vulnerable to quakes and tsunamis, used its close links with regulators and nuclear experts to hijack nuclear policy and — since the accident — has worked vigilantly to shut out close scrutiny of the ravaged plant’s condition."

Forget EURIBOR And Basis-Swaps; EUREPO Curve Inversion Signals Major European Funding Stress
A quote...."It would appear that one-by-one the open-market indications of stress in European funding markets are manipulated to the point of worthlessness. As the provision of unsecured lending is for all intent and purpose finished in Europe, LIBOR is a mirage and even cross-currency basis-swaps (though modestly margined) have lost their 'signal' as MRO/LTRO reduced the term-funding need. However, as recently highlighted by @SoberLook, the EUREPO curve - which measures how much banks have to pay to borrow, when pledging or repo-ing assets, for loans - is not only un-manipulated as of yet but is flashing very bright warning signals...."

TYTVideo - Alt - (TYTYuTb - 4min14sec - Jun 10, 2012) - TheYoungTurks -- A quote...."Is a global financial collapse coming? The fact that German 2-year bond yields are at 0% suggests bad news" - If Cenk Uygur thinks zero two year German bonds are a bad sign, he should take a look at Switzerland where the entire five year bond curve is in negative territory, in other words, you pay the Swiss an effective rate of interest so they will agree to take your money when you buy their bonds anywhere along the five year bond curve.

The G20 debacle in Mexico

19 Reasons to Start Preparing for a Global Economic Collapse
Only if they stop printing, which isn't very likely. Everyone should keep in mind they're going to print until they can't.  When THAT occurs the bubble will pop, not till then. - mpg  -- A quote...."Yes, it is officially time to start freaking out about the global economy. The European financial system is falling apart and it is going to go down hard. If Europe was going to be saved it would have happened by now. The big money insiders have already pulled their funds from vulnerable positions and they are ready to ride out the coming chaos."

On Egyptian Elections And Israeli Escalations
A quote...."The full results of the Egyptian election will not be 'released' until the 21st but as Stratfor's Reva Bhalla notes, the Muslim Brotherhood is already claiming a narrow victory over the military's preferred candidate. Rather sadly, she opines, "the Presidency itself may not even matter much as the military has taken a series of moves in recent days to overtly reassert its authority over the Egyptian political system", further reinforcing Stratfor's historical position that Egypt's political future will be dictated (ironic choice of words) by the military and not by protesters in Tahrir Square."

Another victory for all those faux-Christian, Zio-Worshiping, AIPAC/Israeli Consortium supporting, al-CIA'da terrorist loving, Saudi Royal Wahhabist fellow traveling Armageddon Cultists in this country!!  They must be so proud of themselves!!  They must be so proud of what they've done to the Christian communities throughout the Middle East Africa!! - mpg  - for more on this issue see the two essays shown below....

This sort of action by these United States senators is tantamount to an abrogation and repudiation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), and worse from this website editor's perspective, they have publicly done so at the behest and under the directions of a foreign power. 

Iran is a signatory to the NPT, the US is a signatory to the NPT, Israel is NOT!  As a signatory to the NPT, and as a nation who has FULLY and VERIFIABLY complied with its restrictions and rules, Iran, by LAW, is allowed to enrich uranium up to twenty percent and to have as many enrichment plants as they desire to do so. 

AGAIN these senators vividly demonstrate that their oath of fealty is not to their own country, and that their signatures or their assents regarding ANY treaty or codicil agreed to by this nation's government, is not worth the paper it's written on. - mpg -- Topix ||  How About An Honest NPT? - 11-11-10 - mpg  ||

Some commentators have stated that the US-NRE's parasites are worried about the EU and Euro collapsing because of what that would do to all those credit default swaps they sold to the EU's banks and sovereign nation states. 

They are completely wrong!

The US-NRE's Wall Street Banksters are the very people who sold Europe all those tens of trillions of dollars in worthless MBS securities in the first place, and the very same credit ratings agencies who tripled AAA rated all this junk when it was sold are the very same ratings agencies now busily down grading the EU states and their banks.  Goldman Sachs, one of these TBTF Banksters was the very same institution that finagled Greece, coincidentally the "first domino" to supposedly start the collapse of the EU, into the EU by cooking that nation's books.

And now these same TBTF Banksters have sold tens of trillions worth of credit default swaps to the EU. 

Does anyone think this was an accident?  Does anyone think the very same Bankster who are now attacking the EU haven't thought of what this might do to their credit default swaps if they succeed?

Do you want to know what happens to the EU if the EU nations can't bail themselves out while being subjected to these constant financial attacks by the US-NRE's (and Britain's) Banksters?  They come crawling to Ben and his Buddy Boys at the Fed, you know, that PRIVATE consortium of greedy  Banksters for a bail-out, that's what.

Bernie types in a one followed by ten zeros on his computer and than he hits the transmit button and instantly creates ten trillion dollars of additional debt, plus interest, for the EU and its citizens.  It will cost him a few seconds and a few electrons, it will cost the Europeans the next twenty years of hard labor.

His actions will also depreciate the dollars in everyone's pockets, it's called inflation, and it's EXACTLY what Bernie and his boys want.

This is the essence of "currency wars".  -- To force others to take your worthless script, including the sheeple who live in this country, to force others into your debt, to force others to give you their hard earned goods and services in exchange for little tiny bits of paper, or electronic ones and zeros. 

For as long as they're stupid enough to do so. - Topix....

All "revolutions" pass laws like this to protect the "revolution" and its gains, but there wasn't a "revolution" in Libya.  What we had instead was a bunch of tribes, backed by Wahhabist mercenaries from the Gulf monarchies, supported by a few foreign powers, hell-bent on utterly destroying a "nation-state" while carving up its booty and bling for the foreign powers with a few crumbs left over for the participating tribes. 

Never forget, this was the first so-called "revolution" in RECORDED HISTORY, to EVER establish a separate "private" bank (as apposed to the "state" bank of Libya) and a separate "private" oil company (as apposed to the "state" oil ministry of Libya) before the "revolution" had even began!! 

For those who remember Wall Street in the eighties this process should seem very familiar, just think of junk bonds, corporate raiders, and the smashing and break-up of corporate structures, in this case, applied writ large to an entire nation-state.  That sort of activity could NEVER be described as a "revolution" nor its participants as "revolutionary's". - mpg
