Congresswoman Barbara Lee: once the lone voice against the Afghanistan war
Contains Video - A quote...."With her voice cracking and the nation still in mourning Barbara took to the floor of the House of Representatives on 14 September 2001, in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, to give the sole speech and deliver the sole vote in Congress against the Afghanistan war. -- Immediately afterwards friends in Congress followed her to the cloakroom to tell her: 'I think you made a mistake, you better go and change your vote.' She wouldn't. In the days following, with smoke still rising from lower Manhattan and the nation on a war footing she would field death threats, accusations of treason and, for a time, need 24-hour protection from the Capitol police. -- Almost 11 years on, Lee's speech sounds incredibly prescient."

Post-Neoimperial Upheavals: Twilight of the Narcissists
A quote...."This is, of course, precisely the view now taken by the entirety of America's bipartisan political elite, its media elite, and vast swathes of its ordinary citizens, who have been marinated in this belief for generations. They do believe -- simply, deeply, sincerely -- that the "world belongs to the United States" and that the United States has the right to order the world as it pleases. No one who looked clearly and dispassionately at American foreign policy in the post-war years could say otherwise."

US Treasury:  Al Qaeda Runs Syrian "Rebellion"
Special Note - A quote...."The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) in its article, "Al Qaeda's War for Syria," cited officials from the US Treasury Department stating, "Al Qaeda in Syria (often operating as the "Al Nusra Front for the People of the Levant") is using traffickers—some ideologically aligned, some motivated by money—to secure routes through Turkey and Iraq for foreign fighters, most of whom are from the Middle East and North Africa. A growing number of donors from the Persian Gulf and Levant appear to be sending financial support."" - Topix ||  One Vile, Venom Tipped, Taloned Hand Washes the Other - (a.k.a.

US foreign policy adventurism approaching an all-time high (Op-Ed)
Special Note - Quote of the Day - (in bold) -- "Whenever the US warns there is an imminent danger of violence, even of a massacre or atrocities, it pays to take notice. Such predictions seem to have an almost uncanny knack of turning out to be accurate. So recent US “concerns” could mean bad news." -- "The world is just getting over the shock of accounts of massacres emerging from Syria, like the one in al-Houla at the end of May this year. The novelty of the outrage lies in the astonishing fact that from the mainstream conservative German daily FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) and Christian clergy, a shock wave went through major Western media. New grizzly details of the plot were uncovered, namely that known loyalist families, including dozens of women, children and the elderly, who denied support to the insurgents fell victim to the carnage. -- According to intercepted rebel phone calls, massacres and other incidents are being perpetrated with the intention of later putting the blame on the government.

US Proxy Al Qaeda Death Squads in Syria
Special Note - Related Article - A quote...."Washington's agenda involves death squad diplomacy. Evidence mounts proving it. It's standard practice in all US direct and proxy wars. It's how America treats its enemies. - Massacres and unspeakable atrocities are committed. Women are raped. Civilians are treated like combatants. They're indiscriminately killed. - Others are targeted for opposing US aggression. Children are harmed like adults. Prisoners are tortured. No crime's too gruesome to commit. - Lies, duplicity, and coverup follow. Media scoundrels bear direct responsibility. Their hands are bloodstained like US officials, forces and proxy killers. - Vietnam's Operation Phoenix became a prototype for today's wars. It included intimidation, kidnappings torture, and mass murder. At issue was eliminating opposition elements. Terrorizing people into submission was policy." - also posted at ICH

Syrian wheel of fortune spins China's way
A quote....."....the Annan plan, ~ might have been a workable, even desirable option for the Syrian people as well as the Assad regime. - But Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey were determined not to let it happen. And the United States, in another case of the Middle Eastern tail wagging the American dog, [That should mean mostly Israel and it's PNAC Protocols....mpg] has downsized its dreams of liberal-democratic revolution [That was NEVER their dream....mpg] for the reality of regime collapse driven in significant part by domestic thugs and opportunists, money and arms funneled in by conservative Gulf regimes, violent Islamist adventurism, and neo-Ottoman overreach by Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Erdogan. -- But a funny thing happened last week. The Assad regime didn't collapse, despite an orchestrated, nation-wide assault (coordinated, we can assume, by the crack strategists of the international anti-Assad coalition): a decapitating terrorist bombing in the national security directorate, near-simultaneous armed uprisings in the main regime strongholds of Damascus and Aleppo, and the seizure of many of Syria's official border crossings with Iraq and Turkey."

After his lies were exposed on the Internet he had a shocking meltdown in public. He ran around naked near traffic lights, smashed his fists on the pavement, and screamed bizarrely.

There also seems to be a slight shift in international media."

Surprise, Surprise: The CIA And Mossad Don't Like Each Other
Must Read - A quote...."Israel is the only country with the balls, the connections, and the skills to challenge the CIA in the spying domain on its home court. But Israel has to rely on America's military for its security because its own is weak. Israel got easily beaten by Hezbollah on the battlefield in summer 2006. Clearly, fighting is not its strong suit. It is much better at spying, propaganda warfare, and blackmailing. -- In other words, Israel has to cheat to victory. Its ambitions are too big and unrealizable because it is a very small country. And its image as a victim is dependent on monstrous lies like the official 9/11 story."

The Audit The Fed Bill Gets Passed By The House - But Obama And The Democrats Are Going To Kill It

You would think that a bill with such overwhelming support would easily become law. But it won't, because Barack Obama and the Democrats plan to kill it. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has already said that the Senate will not even consider the bill. But of course if Barack Obama called Harry Reid and told him that he wants this bill to get through the Senate so that he could sign it then Harry Reid would be singing a much different tune. Sadly, we all know that is not going to happen. Barack Obama's good buddy Ben Bernanke called the Audit the Fed bill a "nightmare scenario" last week, and Obama is certainly not going to do anything to upset Bernanke - especially this close to the election." - Source:  EconomicCollapseBlog

Recall that the $1.6 trillion or so in excess reserves are currently used by banks mostly as window dressing to cover up capital deficiencies masked in the form of asset purchases, subsequently repoed out.

Such psy-op campaigns also seek to influence events on the ground in target nations, in this case in Venezuela ahead of the October elections, where all signs point to another resounding victory for current President Hugo Chávez Frías."

Amnesty International's latest arms trade campaign is colonialism with a kindly face
A quote...."July 26, 2012 "The Telegraph" --  If you needed any further proof that Amnesty International is to the 21st century what rum-swigging bearers of the White Man's Burden were to the 19th, look no further than its current campaign for a global arms trade treaty. Amnesty is basically agitating for the West, which it considers civilised and responsible, to prevent the rest, or what Amnesty euphemistically refers to as the "wrong" people, from getting their hands on guns and bombs. It is a call for a colonial-style carve-up of the world, between those judged decent and grown-up enough not only to own guns but also to determine who else may own them (us), and those judged too infantile and brutal to be let anywhere near a gun lest they unleash "the worst kind of atrocities" (them). -- Given that America has used its vast armoury to cause more destruction around the world than any other nation over the past 10 years, it is bizarre that Amnesty should be pleading with it to lead the way on restricting the flow of guns to the "wrong" countries...." - Source:  TheTelegraph

Between Syria and Iraq, they want it all.

During a 2011 interview in Damascus with Barbara Walters, Walters feigned indignation when hearing these labels, insisting that these were people simply seeking "democracy" and "freedom." -- It turns out months later, it was President Assad who has been vindicated, and Walters' disrespectful, curt condemnation exposed as the same brand of war propaganda that has mired the West in over a decade of ceaseless, bloody, bankrupting wars and interventions."

Silence Absolves Liars, Scoundrels & Hypocrites
A quote...."Look at what occurred here in America before we invaded Iraq… and after. We had a group of so called leaders and advisors to leaders who had a tattered track record on patriotism. Mitt Romney, in the late 1960s, supported the Vietnam War, yet refused to join up and fight the good fight. We have the infamous chicken hawks of the Junior Bush gang, starting with Junior himself. Bush supported the Vietnam War and chose to stay safely at home in the Texas Air National Guard. Then we have Dick Cheney, who received at least five deferments, none of them medical by the way, yet he vociferously supported the war. Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz and others connected with the Bush crew cheered for ‘War War War ‘yet never would dare go and fight the gooks they hated...."

A Prince Among the Living and a King Among the Dead.
A quote...."We're not going to spend any amount of time on the Colorado shooting. Obviously it was a government op, as were all of the others. Every one of them had a companion military or police drill similar to what happened taking place at the same time. As usual there are companion efforts going on that may or may not be relevant. Why someone would wire up their apartment and then inform the authorities it was wired is also weird but the whole thing is weirder than the guy's hair. Since Israel runs all of the American terror operations, the same way it runs American foreign and domestic policy; “I'm a patriotic American, proud to be Israel's bitch”. People should no longer stand when The Star Spangled Banner plays. They should bend over. It's more in tune with how it is."

When you control over 96% of what Americans are allowed to read, see, digest, fathom and try to understand, then it's a cinch that when that monopoly decides to herd their favorite herd of GOYIM cattle in one direction, it's to the slaughterhouse we'll go, heads bowed down, happily chewing our cuds, while the butcher starts letting blood. -- Their favorite refrain these days is getting Americans psyched up about invading a country that is NO threat to the USA, Syria, but one that Israel wants destroyed so it can cement its hold over the water rich Golan Heights and steal even more Syrian land on the pretext that it's for 'security' reasons."

David Stockman: "The Capital Markets Are Simply A Branch Casino Of The Central Bank"
A quote...."This market isn't real. The two percent on the ten-year, the ninety basis points on the five-year, thirty basis points on a one-year – those are medicated, pegged rates created by the Fed and which fast-money traders trade against as long as they are confident the Fed can keep the whole market rigged. Nobody in their right mind wants to own the ten-year bond at a two percent interest rate. But they're doing it because they can borrow overnight money for free, ten basis points, put it on repo, collect 190 basis points a spread, and laugh all the way to the bank. And they will keep laughing all the way to the bank on Wall Street until they lose confidence in the Fed's ability to keep the yield curve pegged where it is today. If the bond ever starts falling in price, they unwind the carry trade. Then you get a message, "Do not pass go." Sell your bonds, unwind your overnight debt, your repo positions. And the system then begins to contract...."

Today an assault attempt on a military hospital in Damascus failed after just one hour."

Justice Department Sues Telecom for Challenging National Security Letter
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished -- A quote...."18 Jul 2012 Last year, when a telecommunications company received an ultra-secret demand letter from the FBI seeking information about a customer or customers, the telecom took an extraordinary step - it challenged the underlying authority of the FBI's National Security Letter, as well as the legitimacy of the gag order that came with it. Both challenges are allowed under a federal law that governs NSLs, a power greatly expanded under the Patriot Act that allows the government to get detailed information on Americans' finances and communications without oversight from a judge. The FBI has issued hundreds of thousands of NSLs and been reprimanded for abusing them - though almost none of the requests have been challenged by the recipients. After the telecom challenged its NSL last year, the Justice Department took its own extraordinary measure: It sued the company, arguing in court documents that the company was violating the law by challenging its authority." - bold by website editor - Source:  WiredDotCom

A nuclear-armed strike was in the air on the way to Cairo when the USS Liberty, using a jury-rigged radio antenna, finally got the word out as to the real identity of the ship's attackers. The strike against Cairo was aborted and the official myth of "mistaken identity" was ordered by Israel. Just something to keep in mind when Israel screams that Iran is behind the Bulgarian bombing in the compete absence of any evidence to support such an accusation."  --  *Michael Rivero*

FLASHBACK - The Lavon Affair.  Is History Repeating Itself?
A quote...."In 1954, Israeli agents working in Egypt planted bombs in several buildings, including a United States diplomatic facility, and left evidence behind implicating Arabs as the culprits. The ruse would have worked, had not one of the bombs detonated prematurely, allowing the Egyptians to capture and identify one of the bombers, which in turn led to the round up of an Israeli spy ring. -- Some of the spies were from Israel, while others were recruited from the local Jewish population. Israel responded to the scandal with claims in the media that there was no spy ring, that it was all a hoax perpetrated by "anti-Semites"."  --  *Michael Rivero*

Murder Inc -- A quote...."It was one of the biggest secrets of the post-9/11 era: soon after the attacks, President Bush gave the CIA permission to create a top secret assassination unit to find and kill Al Qaeda operatives.

"The move was historic," says Evan Wright, the two-time National Magazine Award-winning journalist who wrote Generation Kill.
