The Western Welfare State: Its Rise and Demise and the Soviet Bloc
Must Read - A quote...."There are two lines of inquiry which need to be elucidated in order to come to terms with the demise of the welfare state and the massive decline of living standards. One line of analysis examines the profound change in the international environment: We have moved from a competitive bi-polar system, based on a rivalry between the collectivist – welfare states of the Eastern bloc and the capitalist states of Europe and North America to an international system monopolized by competing capitalist states." - also posted at AlethoNews


The Declaration of Total Dependence upon The Spawn of Satan
A quote...."When in the proscribed intercourse of entrus behindus in human events, it becomes necessary for any number of people to break the political binds that have shackled them in ignorance with another and to seize the powers of Heaven, the separate but equal station they have never possessed, which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a gone missing respect to the opinions of mankind demands that they should, in your face, present the causes which insist upon this separation. -- We hold these shapeshifting truths to be self reverent among all of the chosen, who are more than equal that they are endowed by their creator, The Mud God, with exclusive unalienable rights that among them are, your life, your liberty and the pursuit of their profit at your expense...."

Warning to the World: US Conducting Global Campaign of Violent Destabilization
A quote...."The intent of U.S. Unconventional Warfare UW efforts is to exploit a hostile power’s political, military, economic, and psychological vulnerabilities by developing and sustaining resistance forces to accomplish U.S. strategic objectives…For the foreseeable future, U.S. forces will predominantly engage in irregular warfare (IW) operations.  --  So begins the 2010 Unconventional Warfare (UW) Manual of the US Military’s Special Forces. The manual attached here (TC 18-01) is an interim publication, developed to address the definition of Unconventional Warfare and some other inconsistencies in UW Doctrine. The new UW document (ATP 3-05.1) is in the initial draft and not yet available, though sources tell me it is unlikely to differ much from TC 18-01.  --  But most of us have not had the pleasure of leafing through this truly revelatory blueprint that shows how America wages its dirty wars. These are the secret wars that have neither been approved by Congress, nor by the inhabitants of nations whose lives – if not bodies – are mauled by the directives on these pages."

What's really happened to America's soldiers
A quote...."Post-traumatic stress disorder, the debilitating mental and social difficulties that face soldiers returning from the battlefield, can be linked to something called "moral injury". All wars oblige soldiers to commit acts that would be outrageous in normal society, and the resulting scars are very common, and understandable. In recent years, however, with the morality of America's wars themselves deeply questionable, healing these scars has become even more difficult."

McChrystal: Time to bring back the draft
A quote...."When you have the administration trotting out a guy like General Mc Chrystal doing this trial balloon about reinstituting the draft, you can bet your last plugged Turkish piaster that the US government is planning something huge and horrific militarily in the not too distant future." -- *Michael Rivero*

More Tales From the Zio-Sphere....

Mitt Romney planning to visit Israel [for the fourth time] over the summer; meeting with Netanyahu expected
2012 Election Cycle - No doubt to receive his marching orders. Here's a suggestion, why doesn't Mitt and his family just stay there and become Israeli citizens?  Then Mitt can run for the Israeli Knesset, that way he can demonstrate where his true allegiance lays instead of pretending where his allegiance lays. - mpg -- A quote...."WASHINGTON - Mitt Romney is planning a trip to Israel this summer, an aide to the likely GOP nominee said Monday. -- Details about exactly when and where Romney will visit were not immediately available, and the aide spoke on the condition of anonymity because the aide was not authorized to speak publicly about the plans. But Romney was expected to meet during the trip with top Israeli leaders including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. -- The summer jaunt will take Romney away from the campaign trail during a key period of his general-election fight against President Barack Obama. But the trip could help Romney shore up support among Jewish voters, evangelicals and foreign policy hawks."

A quote...."July 05, 2012 "Antiwar" -- On June 27, 2012, the FBI partially declassified and released seven additional pages [.pdf] from a 1985–2002 investigation into how a network of front companies connected to the Israeli Ministry of Defense illegally smuggled nuclear triggers out of the U.S.* The newly released FBI files detail how Richard Kelly Smyth — who was convicted of running a U.S. front company — met with Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel during the smuggling operation. At that time, Netanyahu worked at the Israeli node of the smuggling network, Heli Trading Company. Netanyahu, who currently serves as Israel’s prime minister, recently issued a gag order that the smuggling network’s unindicted ringleader refrain from discussing “Project Pinto.” - Source: AntiWar

Sex, Lies, Iran, Israel and WikiLeaks
Must View Video - From The History File - Dec 12, 2010 - Alt - (previously posted) - (YuTb - 11min02sec - 12/12/10) - Source:  alawson911 -- A quote...."WikiLeaks has given the mainstream media yet another opportunity to vilify Iran. A typical headline, from the New York Times was: "Around the world distress over Iran." And, ironically, it is true, but not in the way the headline writer meant. Around the world there is distress over Iran, distress at the way it is being cast in the role of the Evil Doer, when all but the most ignorant observers realise that it is nuclear-armed Apartheid Israel that is the real threat to world peace, not Iran."

Was there Advanced Knowledge of the 7/7 London Bomb Attacks?
A quote...."A fictional "scenario" of multiple bomb attacks on London's underground took place at exactly the same time as the bomb attack on July 7, 2005. -- Peter Power, Managing Director of Visor Consultants, a private firm on contract to the London Metropolitan Police, described in a BBC interview how he had organized and conducted the anti-terror drill, on behalf of an unnamed business client. -- The fictional scenario was based on simultaneous bombs going off at exactly the same time at the underground stations where the real attacks were occurring:"

Feds Look to Fight Leaks With ‘Fog of Disinformation’
Propaganda Alert - (a.k.a. cognitive dissonance or baffle them with bull sh-t) - A quote...."Pentagon-funded researchers have come up with a new plan for busting leakers: Spot them by how they search, and then entice the secret-spillers with decoy documents that will give them away. -- Computer scientists call it it “Fog Computing” — a play on today’s cloud computing craze. And in a recent paper for Darpa, the Pentagon’s premiere research arm, researchers say they’ve built “a prototype for automatically generating and distributing believable misinformation … and then tracking access and attempted misuse of it. We call this ‘disinformation technology.’” -- Two small problems: Some of the researchers’ techniques are barely distinguishable from spammers’ tricks. And they could wind up undermining trust among the nation’s secret-keepers, rather than restoring it."

Cisco locks customers out of their own routers, only lets them back in if they agree to being spied upon & monetized -- Web Under Threat -- A quote..."Owners of Cisco/Linksys home routers got a nasty shock this week, when their devices automatically downloaded a new operating system, which locked out device owners. After the update, the only way to reconfigure your router was to create an account on Cisco's "cloud" service, signing up to a service agreement that gives Cisco the right to spy on your Internet use and sell its findings, and also gives them the right to disconnect you (and lock you out of your router) whenever they feel like it."

US military to spend $40m on Guantanamo prison renovation
You mean Obama isn't going to close Gitmo!?  Oh my goodness, who would have thunk it! - (extreme sarcasm) - One wonders if all the ObamaTrolls out there have had enough yet? Well if they haven't, they needn't worry, they'll get more, much more, and it'll get so much worse that even morons as stupid and self-deluded as the ObamaTrolls will eventually scream enough!  Of course by then it'll be too late. -  mpg

Barack Obama, His Mother, and the CIA
2012 Election Cycle - Obama Exposed - A quote...."In his autobiography, Dreams From My Fathers, Barack Obama writes of taking a job at some point after graduating from Columbia University in 1983. He describes his employer as “a consulting house to multinational corporations” in New York City, and his functions as a “research assistant” and “financial writer”. - Oddly, Obama doesn’t mention the name of his employer. However, a New York Times story of October 30, 2007 identifies the company as Business International Corporation. Equally odd is that the Times did not remind its readers that the newspaper itself had disclosed in 1977 that Business International had provided cover for four CIA employees in various countries between 1955 and 1960.10 -- The British journal, Lobster* — which, despite its incongruous name, is a venerable international publication on intelligence matters — has reported that Business International was active in the 1980s promoting the candidacy of Washington-favored candidates in Australia and Fiji.11" - *link added - also posted at AlethoNews

Romney profited off firm that disposed of aborted fetuses
2012 Election Cycle - (cover-up documented) -- A quote...."....documents filed by Bain and Stericycle with the Securities and Exchange Commission—and obtained by Mother Jones—list Romney as an active participant in the investment. And this deal helped Stericycle, a company with a poor safety record, grow, while yielding tens of millions of dollars in profits for Romney and his partners. The documents—one of which was signed by Romney—also contradict the official account of Romney’s exit from Bain."


The Ron Paul Campaign is infiltrated, Sabotaged and Compromised
2012 Election Cycle - (sabotage revealed) -- A quote...."I do not question the integrity of congressmen Ron Paul. I do not question his patriotism or his character. But I do question the people around him and how they are insulating him from his support base. If I were Ron Paul and a few really trusted people without an agenda to undermine the campaign. There needs to be a shake up in the campaign to weed out the hacks and operatives who have infiltrated the leadership positions. -- The campaign has not been running TV and radio ads even though they had the funds to pay for these ads. He is getting bad advice from the wrong people who are there to mislead the Texas congressmen. It is time to expose the traitors inside the campaign sent by the republican party and possibly Carl Rove to undermine any chances of Ron Paul getting any victory. These are the people who are holding back the campaign. Thank God the Grassroots are not following orders from headquarters. They are grabbing the bull by the horns making an impact in the state convention prior to the gathering in August."

Over 750,000 Pennsylvanians Could Be Disenfranchised By Voter ID Law
2012 Election Cycle - (vote fraud / suppression) -- A quote...."Instances of voter fraud may be rarer than lightning strikes, but in Pennsylvania more than 758,000 voters may be disenfranchised this election season because lawmakers insist on solving the “problem” of voter fraud. Pennslyvania’s new voter ID law, which will take effect for the first time this November, may prevent 758,939 otherwise eligible voters, who do not currently have an acceptable ID, from voting."

Bernanke – My Goal is to Wreck Social Security
A quote...."In June of each year the Social Security Trust Fund (SSTF) reinvests a significant portion of its investment portfolio in newly issued Special Issue Treasury Securities. The interest rates on these bonds is set by a formula that was established in 1960. The formula was designed to insulate the SSTF from transitory changes in interest rates by averaging market based bond yields over a three-year period."

Thunder Road Report On The Death March: Approaching A New Financial System
A quote....."If you are reading this, you are probably a member of what the sociologists would term middle class (albeit at the upper end). This is precisely the segment of society which is poised to come off worst from what is coming. Here is a very disturbing idea. As this crisis develops, if you are an equity portfolio manager and you want to outperform the market, you are going to have to position your portfolio so that it benefits most from your own wealth destruction and that  of your family, friends and colleagues. Almost everybody is going to lose and there aren’t many places to hide. This is deeply unpleasant but you can blame the central planners."

"Indeed, the scandal effects an $800 trillion dollar market - 10 times the size of the real world economy. - Matt Taibbi explains that this is the "mega scandal of all mega scandals", because Libor is the "sun at the center of the financial universe", and manipulating Libor means that "the whole Earth is built on quicksand."" - also posted at ZeroHedge

But there's already been one huge stunner. In advance of that testimony, Barclays released an email from October 29, 2008, written by Diamond to then-Chairman John Varley and COO Jerry del Messier (who also stepped down yesterday).

Deflation Alert - A quote...."Make no mistake: this latest £50bn-worth of electronically created money being pumped into the financial system is a sign of deep desperation, not a simple chip out of the rough. -- As the Bank said in the statement that accompanied its decision to expand QE to an eye-popping £375bn, this is an economy that had failed to grow for the past 18 months, and has now slipped into recession – and the headwinds are getting worse." - bold by website editor

In a news briefing, he said militants from the terror network were flowing into Syria. Violence there is worsening, with over a hundred people killed in the last three days.

Paul Sheldon Foote, a Middle East expert from California State University, says he doesn't believe the coalition government is possible in Syria."

Shocking Videos Reveal Truth Behind Syrian “Freedom Fighters”
Contains Multiple Videos - (Warning - graphic) -- A quote...."No one can deny that Bashar Al-Assad’s regime has been responsible for violence. But in failing to equally acknowledge the fact that NATO-backed rebels have also carried out innumerable atrocities is not only dishonest, it represents a deliberate effort by the press to manipulate the narrative of unfolding events in Syria as a one-sided war crime rather than the truth – which is the fact that Syria is in a state of civil war. -- In throwing their military might behind Syrian rebels, in addition to foreign terrorists affiliated with Al-Qaeda, NATO powers are empowering a minority of extremist Wahabi thugs who are anti-freedom, anti-Christian, anti-Shia, anti-Sunni and who will stop at nothing to entrench their ideologically fanatical power base. -- In greasing the skids for a Libya-style NATO military assault, the media has portrayed the rebels as freedom-loving democratic activists who are honorable victims of bloodshed. In reality, as the videos below illustrate, nothing could be further from the truth."

Furthermore, the "democratic fighters" comprising the Free Syrian Army (FSA) are not all Syrian citizens."

Straight Talking: The Syrian Cauldron
A quote...."There is nothing accidental or unwilled about what is happening in Syria. The government in Damascus has been deliberately locked into a cycle of violence fed from the outside by the self-styled ‘Friends of Syria’. Both sides are implicated in the killing of civilians yet the mainstream media has created a narrative in which virtually all the killing is the work of the army or the ‘regime loyalists’ known as the shabiha. -- ‘Activists’ routinely blame every murder, bombing and act of sabotage on the government even when the victims have been Baath loyalists (as was the professor murdered by armed men in her home on the outskirts of Homs in late June, along with her three children and parents)."

However, few Iranians are convinced that the US and its Western allies are serious about reaching a compromise. As was noted by Iran's envoy to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Ali Asghar Soltanieh, "some countries are not serious about negotiation". -- Even in the US there is a rising chorus of disapproval over the Western approach toward Iran, with US commentators criticizing Western governments for failing to offer Iran any tangible rewards in exchange for concessions Tehran is willing to offer on the issue of its enriched uranium."

Iran, U.S. Sanctions, and the Emergence of a True “New World Order”
Must Read - (#1) -- A quote...."One of our longstanding arguments about the folly of American policy on Iran-related sanctions is that it is incentivizing rising powers like China and the other BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and South Africa, along with China) to develop alternatives to U.S.-controlled mechanisms for conducting, financing, and settling the international exchange of goods, services, and capital.  As the latest sets of U.S. and European Union sanctions against the Islamic Republic were going into effect, Neelam Deo (a former Indian diplomat who now directs Gateway House, the Indian Council on Global Relations) and Akshay Mathur (head of research and geoeconomics fellow at Gateway House) published a brilliant opinion piece in The Financial Times outlining precisely how such alternative mechanisms are likely to emerge, see here." - also posted at AlethoNews

Guest post: Brics “hostage” to west over Iran sanctions, need financial institutions
Must Read - (#2) -- A quote...."Two recent developments – the $75bn bailout contribution from the Brics countries to the IMF, and the western push for sanctions against Iran – show how exposed the Brics economies are to western financial policies. -- For decades, they have been successfully co-opted to submit to western-dominated institutions, leaving them with little motivation to build their own. Now, the Brics must urgently organize to build institutions of mutual economic benefit. The June 28 deadline that China faces on complying with Iran sanctions,  highlights the urgency of the issue. -- The Brics are a larger oil-importing bloc than the European Union. None is in confrontation with Iran, but they are nonetheless hostage to western sanctions because the conduits of international finance, trade and transportation used for crude oil trade are controlled by the West."
   
Introducing the E-3
Must Read - (#3) -- A quote...."But now, some of the smartest people on the planet have made possibly one of the dumbest, and certainly one of the greatest, strategic errors in history. The smart people at the US State Department and Treasury have prevailed upon the craven Belgian-based SWIFT bank messaging system to entirely cut off Iran from the dollar system. -- So Iran has to look outside dollar economics for solutions, and I am here to advocate an approach that addresses both problems by literally re-basing Iran's economy on the absolute value of energy rather than a black hole of debt." - The author's probably wrong about a "massive" over supply of oil, but he has some interesting ideas. - mpg

Time to Get Crazy
Must Read - A quote...."Native Americans’ resistance to the westward expansion of Europeans took two forms. One was violence. The other was accommodation. Neither worked. Their land was stolen, their communities were decimated, their women and children were gunned down and the environment was ravaged. There was no legal recourse. There was no justice. There never is for the oppressed. And as we face similar forces of predatory, unchecked corporate power intent on ruthless exploitation and stripping us of legal and physical protection, we must confront how we will respond."

However, these are merely the tactics of a much broader, more geopolitically complex war in which the United States and its Western allies are engaged.  Though seemingly insignificant against the backdrop of all the regional and international crises affecting our world, Balochistan is, in fact, a nexus: the point at which diametrically opposing strategic interests converge."

In one of the early foreign policy successes of his illustrious administration, Obama helped midwife a brutal coup by Honduran oligarchs, who overthrew a democratically elected president, sent him into exile, then began jailing and murdering those who objected to this regime change. Although almost all of the nations of Latin America condemned the coup, Obama and his equally progressive Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, told the Hondurans to get over it, and embraced the murderous new government."

Tests conducted in Paris found no obvious traces of poison in Arafat’s system. Rumors abound about what might have killed him – cancer, cirrhosis of the liver, even allegations that he was infected with HIV. -- A nine-month investigation by Al Jazeera has revealed that none of those rumors were true: Arafat was in good health until he suddenly fell ill on October 12, 2004. -- More importantly, tests reveal that Arafat’s final personal belongings – his clothes, his toothbrush, even his iconic kaffiyeh – contained abnormal levels of polonium, a rare, highly radioactive element."

Time for regime change in the USA
Quote of the Day...."Iran has political, religious and cultural links with the Alawite (Shia sect) government of Syria. Iran is the one country - not the USA, not Russia, not China, not Turkey, Saudi Arabia or Qatar - which can have frank talks with Syria. Iran is the one country which Syria can trust as understanding its situation. And Iran is the only country which can give hope of avoiding a civil war bloodbath, at the very least, or a probable decade-long regional war. -- But Iran is not to be at Geneva because the USA, riddled with bigotry and an example of Ancient Greek hubris if there ever was one, hates any country which wants to be independent. It particularly hates Iran. Indeed, so extreme is the hatred that anything (including war) can be done to achieve regime change in Tehran. It is therefore no surprise that, at all times, the USA quickly side-lines democracy and justice if there is any likelihood that Iran might be involved in the solution."

The Al-Jabba family have not evacuated the home as it is the sole residence for their family of 10 children. The Israeli military may arrive at any time to demolish the building in the Area C (Israeli civil and security control) village."

Entire Community Under Threat of Demolition, including CARE Health Clinic
A quote...."On June 12, 2012, Israel’s Civil Administration issued more than 50 demolition orders to the small Palestinian community of Susiya, which will displace 160 people, including 120 children, and destroy the livelihoods of the entire community. The rest of the community already has demolition orders, including the school. These orders have thus exposed the entire community of 350 people to forced displacement. Residents appealed the demolition orders, and with the support of international actors and media coverage, were granted a two week extension by Israel’s High Court of Justice. The extension ends this Sunday, July 1."

Amerika's FrankenFood Disaster, Vaccine Cover-Up & The Monsanto Monster....

Nature May Soon Overcome Monsanto
A quote...."What will be the end of Monsanto? Could it be lawsuits, new legislation, or perhaps even a tiny insect that is less than 0.10 mm in length. A new report reveals that rootworms may ultimately be what ends Monsanto's crops, despite the biotech giant's rampant success within the United States legislative system. Amazingly, western corn rootworms have virtually no problem gobbling up Monsanto's modified maize crop, as they have developed a serious resistance to the very crops designed to kill them. So much so that these little critters are outpacing Monsanto's top scientists."

Mother Who Questions Vaccine at Hospital Has Newborn Taken Away
A quote...."This story is appalling, and the worst part is we know this happens often.  Newborns are snatched away from mothers at hospitals and in assembly-line fashion, given all kinds of invasive tests and vaccinations without parental approval."
