American
Exceptionalism - Are You a True Believer?
A quote...."It is as though the Exceptionalism believers think
that Americans have some supreme right as a collective population
and a single political unit to claim possession of or authority
over foreign territories in the absence of voluntary contracts and
peaceful agreements. - Millions of people seem to believe these
myths and old wives tales, a result of cultural and government
school brainwashing, in my view. - As libertarians, private
property advocates and non-interventionists have argued, one
reason it is almost impossible to get so many people to question
such an ideology of moral relativism is that the Exceptionalists
have accumulated much emotional investment in feeling they are
superior to foreigners."
The
Emperor’s New Clothes: The Naked Truth About the American Police
State
A quote...."July 10, 2014 "ICH" - It’s vogue, trendy and
appropriate to look to dystopian literature as a harbinger of what
we’re experiencing at the hands of the government. Certainly,
George Orwell’s 1984 and Animal Farm have much to say about
government tyranny, corruption, and control, as does Aldous
Huxley’s Brave New World and Philip K. Dick’s Minority Report. Yet
there are also older, simpler, more timeless stories—folk tales
and fairy tales—that speak just as powerfully to the follies and
foibles in our nature as citizens and rulers alike that give rise
to tyrants and dictatorships." - also posted atZeroHedge
National
Endowment for Empire - Democracy Promotion Means Regime Change
A quote..."The Washington-based National Endowment for Democracy
provides one example. Founded in 1983 to enhance US foreign policy
by teaching aspects of democracy abroad, it now spends 100 million
dollars a year of American taxpayers’ money on projects that are
not always appreciated by recipients who complain that they are
not so much democratic as interventionist. They may seek a regime
change that is not desired by the people who are supposed to
benefit. - Take Ukraine, where the NED financed no less than
sixty-five projects to arouse opposition to President Viktor
Yanukovych, who had offended by seeming to draw away from the
European Union and move closer to Russia. But wait! He had been
elected to the presidency in an election considered free and fair
in 2010. Was NED violating its own principles by encouraging a
regime change correctly called a coup? Hardly the first time, say
critics. It’s been an NED habit over the years. Politics come
first, democracy a distant second." - Source:Unz

Attacks in Lebanon
A quote...."Lebanese army and other Lebanese security apparatuses
have stepped up their security measures after they received
credible information about a series of imminent terrorist attacks
led by the Takfiris in many Lebanese regions. The criminal attacks
might include detonating explosives or carrying surprise attacks
to take hostages or killing as many civilians in attacks against

Israel’s
War on Palestinian Journalists
A quote...."For years now, the government of Israel has pursued
increasingly belligerent policies towards Palestinian journalists
who cover the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the expansion of
the illegal settlements program. -- On the 2nd July, the
International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) denounced Israel’s
treatment of a Palestinian TV crew who were covering an
altercation between Palestinians and Israeli forces at the Shuafat
Refugee Camp in East Jerusalem – where living conditions are
desperate and it is often without running water. According to the
Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS), the Israeli forces fired
gas canisters, stun grenades and rubber coated bullets towards
them, injuring 2 of the crew. The President of the IFJ Jim
Boumelha strongly criticised the attack...."
Israeli
police to release suspected killers of Abu Khdeir
A quote...."OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Israeli police is to
release three of the six settlers who confessed to the killing of
the Palestinian boy Mohammed Abu Khdeir. - Hebrew daily Yediot
Ahronot said on Thursday that the police will put the three under
house arrest. The six settlers are charged with burning the boy
alive."
House arrest for torturing and burning a teenager
alive?? Again to restate, THIS is their
attitude, THIS is what Israelis are. THIS is what they
DO. If you want to know how YOU would be treated by the
Euro-Kazarians or what happens when they get control of

Palestinians and wounded 600 others in three days of attacks. -

now in Gaza. Neither do most of the photographs you'll find in

on Its Own, Once Again, at OAS Meeting on Argentinean Sovereign
Debt
A quote...."Once upon a time, the U.S. government ran a very tight
ship at the Organization of American States (OAS), a multilateral
institution created by Washington at the start of the Cold
War. Though the OAS’ 1948 Charter calls on its members
to uphold democracy and respect the principle of non-intervention,
for decades the U.S. supported military coups against democratic
governments and intervened militarily around the hemisphere
without serious opposition from within the regional body. In
1962, the U.S. rallied a majority of member states behind a
resolution to suspend Cuba’s membership in the organization and,
in the years that followed, was successful in preventing the OAS
from taking action against U.S.-backed Latin American
dictatorships." - Source:CEPRAmericasBlog

As soon as the document on conflict management was signed added by
the guarantees of European diplomats, the Neo-Nazi militants
staged a coup. The scenario was repeated on April 17 when the
Ukrainian government said freeing buildings and disarmament of
militants had no relation to the provisions of the agreement. It
also abruptly intensified the combat actions in Donbass. The same

support for a peaceful settlement of the protracted internal
political crisis in Ukraine. We managed to draw the attention of
UN humanitarian agencies to the dire situation in the eastern

Latest And Most Ambitious Plan Yet: Invade Spain Humorous - A quote...."While Spain may have been scrambling

recovering, coming up with numerous changes to what it believes
should constitute GDP, most recently including an estimate of the
contribution hookers and blow add to the economy, a surprising
place which has emerged as a potential source of huge economic
upside for Spain's economy is none other than the recently
established Islamic State created by the ISIS al-Qaeda spin off.
Because, stunningly, in a story right out of a history book
covering the Islamic Conquest and subsequent Reconquista (however
not in the middle ages but in the 21st century), the hardest-core
Islamists around, those which even al-Qaeda deemed too
"extremist", appears to have sworn to invade Spain next! "

Don’t be convinced by last Thursday’s job report that it is your
fault if you don’t have a job. Those 288,000 jobs and 6.1%
unemployment rate are more fiction than reality. - In his analysis
of the June Labor Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, John
Williams (www.ShadowStats.com) wrote that the 288,000 June jobs
and 6.1% unemployment rate are “far removed from common experience
and underlying reality.” Payrolls were overstated by “massive,
hidden shifts in seasonal adjustments,” and the Birth-Death model
added the usual phantom jobs. - Williams reports that “the
seasonal factors are changed each and every month as part of the
concurrent seasonal-adjustment process, which is tantamount to a
fraud,” as the changes in the seasonal factors can inflate the
jobs number. While the headline numbers always are on a new basis,
the prior reporting is not revised so as to be consistent." - Source: PaulCraigRoberts

(S&CYuTb - 21min40sec - Jul 5, 2014) - Source:S&C@RT - S&C@RT
- RT - A quote..... "The war in Ukraine rages
on: the fragile ceasfire lasted shortly, and the roar of cannons
can be heard again in the east of the country. But while army
clashes with anti-Kiev forces, civilians pay the deadly toll in
the warzone. Many give up everything they had and run from the
bloodshed, pushing to take those they love away from the horrors
of conflict. What does it mean to be a refugee? To lose your home?
What is truly going on there, in Ukraine? Today we speak one of
the families who fled the fighting - the refugees from the war in
the east."
Slavyansk
is out of sight now … Special Note - A quote...."In reality, the fate
of Slavyansk was being decided in April-May, when Karachun Mount
was taken. It is impossible to conduct a fulsome and active
defence when you are faced with a strategic dominant height
overhanging the city, several kilometres in length, seized by the
adversary and laden with enemy artillery. And to fight, moreover,
without any means of counter-battery warfare. Impossible, and,
yet, Igor Ivanovich and the Militia managed to resist anyways. And
not only to resist, but, in a mere few days, to disabuse the
many-times superior enemy of any desire to engage the Militia in a
direct confrontation. As far as I can tell, they abandoned any
intention to assault the city as soon as the Militia returned
Semyonovka under its control."
The
Fall of Slaviansk, its meaning and implications Special Note - A quote...."So today Slaviansk has finally
fallen to the Nazis. Those of us with a military background
all understood that this was pretty much inevitable and,
obviously, so did the leaders of the Novorussian resistance.
The fact that it took so long for the entire Ukie army to take
that small town really says a lot about the amazing courage of its
defenders and/or about the no less amazing incompetence (or lack
of motivation) of the attackers. It appears that what
happened is that Strelkov took the (wise) decision to abandon the
town and to only leave a very small covering force to protect his
retreating units. This plan apparently went well, the
defenders broke through the Ukie lines with no losses and they are
now heading towards the city of Gorlovka (as defending Kramatorsk
and Konstantinovka makes no sense at this point). "
Forgive
us for not dying in Slavyansk
A quote...."The Militia was forced to leave Slavyansk. Of course,
we were prepared to stand firm to the end, and were ready to obey
any order to that effect from the Commander-in-Chief. All of us
had prepared wills and said our farewells to our kin. But we are
military people, and we also were prepared to follow a different
order. All the more so, because we trust absolutely both Igor
Strelkov’s decency and his military experience."
In other words the Novorossia command has decided
to retreat, and avoid direct confrontation with superior
forces who held the high ground thereby keeping their army
intact to fight another day. So did George Washington
and Sam Houston. Both military commanders who eventually
won their wars of independence. - mpg
Ukraine:
Retreat From Slaviansk Far From End Game
A quote...."The Saker is somewhat
depressed that the insurgents in east Ukraine retreated from
Slaviansk. But that retreat
was in good order and with few losses despite being surrounded by
enemy forces. As their commander Strelkov explains
there was no way Slaviansk could be defended against superior
artillery and air superiority with little means to counter those.
-- Strelkov is now setting
up defenses in Donetsk which is a nuch bigger city with more

Stephen Walt Confuses Marketing Claims With Products
A quote...."I admire Stephen Walt for his work exposing the Israel
Lobby in the United States and I do like his general realist
position. But this is some serious claptrap nonsense not worth the
electrons it is traveling on...."
"All three post-Cold War presidents have made their
fair share of errors, but there is a common taproot to many of
their failings. That taproot has been the pervasive influence of
liberal idealism in the conduct of U.S. foreign policy, an
influence that crosses party lines and unites Democratic liberal
internationalists with Republican neoconservatives. The desire
to extend liberalism into Eastern Europe lay behind NATO
expansion, and it is a big reason that so-called liberal hawks
jumped on the neocon bandwagon in Iraq. It explains why the
United States tried to export democracy to Afghanistan and
throughout the Middle East, instead of focusing laser-like on al
Qaeda after the 9/11 attacks."
"This is utter bullshit. All the "liberal idealism" is just a
marketing ploy to sell imperial wars for global hegemony. The wars
and actions of the post cold-war presidents had nothing to do with
liberalism and all to do with resource grabs and general hatred
against any independent entity."

The obvious -- North Korea must bring their economy up to speed,

systems, all of which could take a decade at the very
minimum, before trying a federalist approach.
Else any attempt, without prior, public, and proper preparation,
could result in a disaster with unintended consequences. -- An

Ernest Hemingway famously said that “the most essential gift for a
good writer is a built-in, shock-proof shit detector. This is the
writer’s radar and all great writers have had it.” He was talking
about the novelist, I suppose. But his dictum applies to the
investigative journalist, in spades. It is the born reporter who
insistently, even masochistically, clings to the notion that
things are not what they outwardly seem and pursues the hidden
truth in any situation even when other people prefer to ignore it.
For most people this simply is not normal human activity."

boosting campaign would be. We show it [on the link at left] in

How The US Government Deliberately Understates Inflation Contains Video - Alt -

- A quote...."Inflation has been raising its ugly head recently,
even the official CPI has nodded feverishly in that direction. The
single largest component of CPI, the housing component, which
accounts for about 30% of the whole index, was redesigned in 1983
to purposefully understate actual price increases. The calculus
was simple: It would save the government many billions every year
on every form of payment that is indexed to CPI. So the housing
component doesn’t even look at current rents – and current rents
have been soaring." - Source:TesteronePit
Erste
Bank Gives Us All A Tiny Taste Of What To Expect When
Eurobanking Collapses A quote...."It seems highly unlikely that Erste (the biggest
banking group in central and eastern Europe) chose late Thursday –
just prior to a national holiday in the US – by accident as the
time aperture in which to tell everyone it was facing a whopping
bad debt provision in Hungary and Romania. The loss is understood
to be in the region of €3 billion. Even by contemporary banking
standards, that is a rather large amount of money."

Report On Israeli Human Rights Violations in the Occupied

A quote...."THIS is what the ISRAELI people,
NOT their government, have done to another they have had
advantage over every single day for the last sixty years without
respite or pause. This is just one week's total! -- Would
you trust any group of people that
remorselessly, relentlessly, sadistically, without a qualm, or a
twinge of conscience, did these things to another every single
day for OVER SIXTY YEARS? Would you
do "business" with them? Would you want to associate with
them? Just think about what they would do to YOU and YOUR family
if they got control over your community!! - mpg

Monsanto’s
Roundup Herbicide and Regulators “With Something to Hide”
A quote...."In 2011, Earth Open Source said that official approval
of glyphosate (the main ingredient in the weedkiller Roundup) had
been rash, problematic and deeply flawed [1]. Its comprehensive
review of existing data suggested that industry regulators in
Europe had known for years that glyphosate causes birth defects in
the embryos of laboratory animals. The review raised questions
about the role of the powerful agro-industry in rigging data
pertaining to product safety and its undue influence on regulatory
bodies."
