What did Rick Perry Tell Ron Paul After the Debate? (Image Worth 1000 Words)
2012 Election Cycle - Photo - (click here) -- A quote...."Rick Perry appears to threaten Ron Paul shortly after last night's debate.  This picture is very telling.  He is clearly using very aggressive body language in a seeming attempt to intimidate Paul. What do you think he said?  Use the comment section to fill out the what you imagine as the dialogue.  We'll start below....." - Three selected comments....

"Here is what he said "I am on the team and you are not, so take heed, your family is in jeopardy and that you can take to the criminally operated Bank. Don't you ever make me look like the liar I am ever again.""  --  *Anonymous*, Sept 8, 2011 1:48 PM

"PERRY:  "Listen Ron, there is only ONE PARTY in Washington DC! And YOU are not invited.""  --  *Amerikagulag*,  Sept 8, 2011 2:09 PM

"Now Ron, since I have stolen your "end the FED" idea and co-opted the Tea Party it is time for you to get lost. The military industrial establishment has this all under control. You seem like a nice enough guy, why don't you just beat it so that we don't have to implement the Kennedy solution on you." -- *Anonymous*, Sept 8, 2011 2:12 PM

Wanna Bet Obama Doesn't "Go Big" Tonight? - (a.k.a. ANOTHER Obama fake-out!! - mpg)
A quote...."September 08, 2011 "Information Clearing House" --  Lets get something straight before President Pangloss delivers his speech tonight. Two-thirds of the $300 billion "stimulus package" he'll be asking for (to reduce unemployment) is just an extension of programs that are already in place, like the payroll tax cut and extension of unemployment benefits. So, what Obama would characterize as a "bold attack on joblessness" is just a big nothingburger, just old wine in new bottles. The plan has no oomph at all; it won't put a dent in unemployment nor will it revive the flagging economy which is presently skittering towards another recession. So why is the White House wasting our time with this nonsense? Do they really think that Obama is going to get a bump in the ratings just by waving his hand at the horizon and mouthing the same old platitudes?

9/11, The Crime of the Century....A Tenth Year Anniversary Retrospective

The post-9/11 decade of lies -- The myth of 9/11, imbedded inextricably into the fibers of society and culture... -- Must Read - Quote of the Day...."It has been and will be the same since the day it happened. The same exhausting exercise, whether one, five years, ten or fifty years since 9/11. Another orchestrated orgy of mass propaganda-stoked ignorance and “war on terrorism” hysteria. --  The propaganda myth of 9/11, imbedded inextricably into the fibers of society and culture, and into the brain cells of naïve, willfully uninformed people, is back for another sickening “commemoration”. " - bold/underline by website editor

9/11 Mythology: The Big Lie of Our Time
Must Read - A quote...."Winston Churchill rightly explained that "(a) lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on." Today, of course, it circulates everywhere instantly. -- Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Germany's Reich Minister of Propaganda, once said:   "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." -- He added that "truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State." -- Corporate media manipulators love a big story they can hype, distort, and falsify to attract large audiences supportively for the worst imperial crimes. -- In fact, the bigger the event, the worse the reporting, sacrificing truth for managed news and opinions everyone should understand and avoid."

After 9/11:  Ten Years of War
Special Note - GRVideo - Alt - (GRYuTb - 9min19sec - Sep 8, 2011) - Source:  GlobalResearchTV -- Second Quote of the Day...."Even if one believes the official story of 9/11 (which is only really possible if they don’t actually know the official story of 9/11)  looking at what has happened since 9/11 should be enough to make them stop and wonder about the event itself.  --  Ten years of open ended wars moving from one key oil producing nation to the next; an attack on our civil liberties; an attack on our constitutional protections; theft of public resources on a scale never before dreamed of; the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act; the acceptance of torture and renditions and targeted murder; Shock and Awe; Libya, Pakistan, Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq, soon we will be in Syria, with continued attempts to create the right pretext to invade Iran and North Korea; the controlled demolition of our economy, by banks that we rewarded with a nearly endless Too Big Too Fail bailout scheme while both republicans and democrats currently work out a way to finally destroy Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and sell off the public education system to the lowest bidder… this country has become monstrous, a living breathing nightmare run by greedy, bought off war-mongering neoliberals. The news organizations lie incessantly, constantly “spinning” some news while actually making up other parts as they go."

Tear Down the 'Freedom Tower'
Special Note - A quote...."Ask yourself this: ten years into the post-9/11 era, haven't we had enough of ourselves?  If we have any respect for history or humanity or decency left, isn't it time to rip the Band-Aid off the wound, to remove 9/11 from our collective consciousness?  No more invocations of those attacks to explain otherwise inexplicable wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and our oh-so-global war on terror.  No more invocations of 9/11 to keep the Pentagon and the national security state flooded with money.  No more invocations of 9/11 to justify every encroachment on liberty, every new step in the surveillance of Americans, every advance in pat-downs and wand-downs and strip downs that keeps fear high and the homeland security state afloat."

9/11: A Time For Truth
Special Note - A quote...."The authors of the Project for the New American Century’s (PNAC)** report entitle Rebuilding America’s Defenses remain unaccountable.  In the Report, written one year before 9/11, they state that Americans will not support the military conquest of the Middle East “absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event––like a new Pearl Harbor.”  That Pearl Harbor was 9/11, which served as the pretext for the invasions of Afghanistan, Iraq, and predator drone bombings in Pakistan.  PNAC members** and/or report signatories include....

9/11:Israel Did It

In fact, in May of 2000, they were living on the 91st floor where they were doing construction and sleeping in tents. They did have construction passes. I do believe that ACE Elevator and Securicom, as well as Kroll Associates should be focused on, however, this is important information that has never been confirmed, until now."

FBI’s 9/11 Sarasota Probe Never Reported to Congress -- Probe Into Saudis Was Never Mentioned in 9/11 Commission Report -- A quote...."An interesting new revelation relating to the 9/11 attacks has come from the Florida city of Sarasota, where a Saudi family is said to have quickly evacuated their posh gated-community home just two weeks before the attacks. -- The couple and their children abandoned the house with three newly registered vehicles and a refrigerator full of food, fleeing the nation ahead of the hijackings...."

Doomsday Planes Used As 9/11 Attack Control Center?
A quote...."On September 11, 2001 at around 10am, a giant white plane was seen and filmed over restricted airspace near the White House. -- The aircraft, later identified as an E-4B modified Boeing 747-200, has never been officially explained and was completely left out of the now infamous 9/11 Commission Report. -- Victor Thorn, an author and writer for American Free Press, has reported that after speaking with author Mark Gaffney he confirmed that the E-4B has the ability to communicate with all military commands worldwide. It can essentially be used as a complete substitute for the Pentagon. -- According to Gaffney as well as the Omaha World Herald, three E-4Bs were involved in a massive war game simulation called Global Guardian on the day of the 9/11 terror attacks."

Senate Attempt To Block Debt Ceiling Increase Fails: Debt Target Is Now $15.2 Trillion, Or Over 100% Of GDP
A quote...."This effectively greenlights the increase of the US debt ceiling from the current $14.694 to $15.194 trillion, or roughly 101% of GDP." - If you count what's probably hidden at the Fed and in Ginnie Mae and Freddie Mac (although the Fed is a private bank, and GM&FM's debt is supposedly not guaranteed by the government.... we all know who'll pay in the end.) the debt is probably more like a 130% of GDP, but than again, who's counting? - mpg

Fraud As A Banking Business Model
A quote...."There were many factors that contributed to our recent financial bubble: deregulation, cheap money from the Fed, failure to enforce remaining regulations, crony capitalism, hubris, speculation, leverage, and fraud among other problems. While fraud wasn't the only issue, it was and is a significant contributor to the credit bubble. Restraining fraud is a necessary but not sufficient condition for a sound financial system. Congressional investigations in recent years have put ample evidence of fraud in the public domain."

Growing conflicts over euro crisis
A quote...."Almost all experts now anticipate a deep global recession this fall. At the same time, leading politicians and economists are completely divided over how to react. There are as many opinions as experts, and most of the advice given is mutually exclusive. The crisis has grown completely out of control."

Their credibility, along with NATO's, has been lost under the sands of Libya, whose heroic people continue to resist these satanic forces." - Source:  Pravda

Jihadists Take Over, As Warned

False Flag Warning - A quote...."TRIPOLI, Libya (CNN) - A potent stash of Russian-made surface-to-air missiles is missing from a huge Tripoli weapons warehouse amid reports of weapons looting across war-torn Libya. -- They are Grinch SA-24 shoulder-launched missiles, also known as Igla-S missiles, the equivalent of U.S.-made Stinger missiles. -- A CNN team and Human Rights Watch found dozens of empty crates marked with packing lists and inventory numbers that identified the items as Igla-S surface-to-air missiles. -- The list for one box, for example, written in English and Russian, said it had contained two missiles, with inventory number "Missile 9M342," and a power source, inventory number "Article 9B238."

Hail to the True Victors of Rupert's Revolution
A quote...."September 08, 2011 "Information Clearing House" --  On 13 September, one of the world's biggest arms fairs opens in London, backed by the British government. On 8 September, the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry will hold a preview entitled "Middle East: A vast market for UK defence and security companies". The host was the Royal Bank of Scotland, a major investor in cluster bombs. According to Amnesty international, the victims of cluster bombs are 98 per cent civilians and 30 per cent children. The Royal Bank of Scotland has received £20 million in public money. The blurb for the bank's arms party reads: "The Middle East is one of the regions with the greatest number of opportunities for UK defence and security companies. Saudi Arabia... is the world's top defence importer, having spent $56bn in 2009... a very worthwhile region to target."

Another option under Pentagon consideration is positioning a small U.S. combat force in Kuwait that could rush into Iraq in the event of a security problem or to target an insurgent threat, two officials said.

The scandal has implicated multitudes in illegal and immoral electronic eavesdropping on everyone from an abducted teenager to Prince William and his brother. -- The second and far more ominous reason is because Sean Hoare’s demise was not suspicious in any way. The London police, though already implicated in the scandal for widespread corruption through bribe-taking and callow complicity in shuttering earlier eavesdropping investigations, assure us it is so. -- Naturally, only the pitifully paranoid or unsettlingly obsessed would doubt this claim." - also posted at AlethoNews

9/11, The Crime of the Century....A Tenth Year Anniversary Retrospective

911 reasons why 9/11 was (probably) an inside job
A quote...."9/11 was the day steel-framed buildings fell like sandcastles, the law of physics worked in reverse and the United States Air Force went missing in action. So what is the real story? -- Before attempting to identify “nine hundred and eleven reasons why 9/11 was an inside job” (which will start tomorrow as part of an investigative, four-part report), I would like to briefly mention my own “where-were-you-on-9/11-moment” since it has a lot to do with my reasons for rejecting the official version of events that fateful day." - also posted at AlethoNews

US War on Terror: Provocations, Mystifications, and Illusory Feats
A quote...."A decade ago, the World Trade Center was destroyed in “a terrorist attack” on September 11 in New York. Contrary to all efforts made by the Empire's propaganda and (dis)information machine, the belief in the complicity of hawks from G. Bush's Administration in the whole story did not recede from public discourse but, instead, gained tens of millions of followers worldwide...  Even those who take no interest in global politics are beginning to discern the agenda behind the drama which shook the heart of New York: after the collapse of the USSR, the US military-industrial complex desperately needed a credible threat posed by a strong and lethally dangerous enemy. The hawks gave the role to Al Qaeda and its leader Usama Bin Laden, a former CIA agent who had led the mujahideen resistance to the Soviets in Afghanistan."

The Matrix of Macro-Memory Masks The Machiavellian Murderers on 9/11
A quote...."Since September 11, 2001, a memory-industrial complex has emerged in America, Israel and Western society that seeks to cover up the truth of the events on that day and impose a false historical narrative on society. -- Constructing false memories of transformative events for a society and false narratives about history is a tricky business, but in the right hands it is an art. Memory construction goes way beyond any traditional understanding of state propaganda. It enters the territory of the divine, where government is god and what it says is the final truth."

It should be noted that there's only been a pitiful fifteen to twenty five (from memory) audio and video bin-Laden "tapes" released during the last decade! Many from S.I.T.E. Intel. Most were immediately dismissed as obvious forgeries, and almost all of them were fortuitously released prior to either the bi-annual elections in this country, or upcoming votes on repressive legislation such as the "Patriot Act".  In other words, they were painfully obvious attempts at propaganda designed to promote the PNAC agenda, childishly produced and simply trumpeted by the five corporate conglomerates who control the mass-media in this country without any attribution as to where they came from or how they were "discovered". - mpg

The Charts That Shows QE3 Failed Before It Even Started
Charts - (click till enlarged) -- A quote...."While it is all too clear that a year from today, right about the time QE4 is gearing up for deployment, QE3 will have had absolutely no impact on the economy (in the upside case; the downside case would imply millions in job losses primarily in the financial sector courtesy of record low 2s10s and even lower Net Interest Margins, aka Carry Trades), just as QE2 ended up doing nothing not only for the US economy but for the stock market as well, what is somewhat disturbing is that the only primary purpose of Operation Twist, namely the lowering of 10 Year bond yields in order to make consumers "weathier" through cheaper refis, has already failed."

Is The End Of The Euro In Sight?
A quote...."The future of the euro is hanging by a thread at the moment.  The massive debt problems of nations such as Greece, Italy and Portugal are dragging down the rest of the Europe, and the political will in northern Europe to continue to bail out these debt-ridden countries is rapidly failing.

Roubini: Slowdown Brings Forward New Crisis
A quote...."September 06, 2011 "Bloomberg" --- Nouriel Roubini, co-founder and chairman of Roubini Global Economics LLC, said the current slowdown in the world economy has brought forward the timing of a new financial crisis. -- “I thought a few months ago that the perfect storm would be 2013,” Roubini said in an interview in London today. “But now, the economic weakness in the U.S., euro zone and the U.K. is front loaded.

Muammar Qaddafi and the Al Fateh revolutionary forces remain defiant and have issued statements saying that they will never surrender. Their extraordinary resistance has most certainly earned them a place in the history of modern warfare. Nowhere in modern history have an army of 100,000 and a population of 6.5 million been able to resist such an overwhelming and murderous invasion for so long. As I write NATO's forces have surrounded the small desert town of Bani Walid. Talks between the rebels and residents of the town have broken down and the people of Al-Fateh have decided to stand and fight against all odds." -- For more on this issue see article and comments shown below.....

(52) * (7,920) = 411,840.  So what NATO and the US-NRE have done to Libya is the equivalent of conducting 411,840 strike sorties [as of Aug 31st 2011]  against the United States over a five month period, or if you prefer, bombing this country 2,745 times EVEY SINGLE DAY.

Remember folks, NATO represents all of Europe. Europe has a population of over 857 million people and is the largest economic union in the world generating a GDP of US$16,228.23 trillion in 2010  -- The United States, has a population of 312 million and an economy of US$14,527 trillion -- These two mighty (Hah!) Econo/Military units, which have a combined total population of  1.169 Billion people and a combined GDP output of $30.755 Trillion dollars have just spent the last SIX MONTHS bombing the sh-t [20,000 sorties and still counting] out of a country that has a population of 6.4 million people with a GDP output of US$96 Billion.  And they still have not achieved their so-called "victory" yet.

WOW, that's sooooooo impressive. Geez, the people of NATO and the United States must be soooooooo proud of themselves right now.  I'm sure the entire world is dutifully impressed at NATO & the US-NRE's "power".

A quote...."When was Israel ever a friend to anyone including America? -- In 1954 the Israelis attacked US and British buildings with bombs in order to stir up animosity against the Muslims. After they were caught Israel screamed anti-Semitism. On 8 June 1967 the Israelis over a period of six hours repeatedly bombed and strafed the American ship the USS Liberty killing 34 US sailors.

Lawfare is bloodless warfare
Quote of the Day...."Lawfare is bloodless warfare. When it is used by a government or an officially sponsored group, it has two aspects. First, it can be used to expand government prerogatives, making what was illegal legal and indemnifying those government employees who have broken the law. Second, it can serve as a tool to punish those who oppose government policies. Making the illegal legal is what John Yoo and Jay Bybee did in the George W. Bush White House when they issued legal judgments supporting torture. It is also what the Barack Obama administration has been doing in obtaining legal advice in expanding the FBI use of national security letters and in saying that the war against Libya is constitutional. The Obama administration has also protected government employees through granting de facto immunity to torturers by refusing to allow the Justice Department to prosecute them. It has used lawfare extensively to defend itself against criticism and whistle-blowers by citing the state-secrets privilege to stop legal challenges, making government employees essentially free from any accountability."

And NOW we know why all that auto "channel stuffing" has been going on for the last six months.  Management is gonna lock the workers out and close the plants for a couple of months as part of their negotiating strategy.

It's sort of sick in a way, the Obama administration handed these auto companies tens of billions of tax-payer dollars, some of which were extracted from the tax-paying union members themselves, all so they could cajole the workers into ramping-up production,  make the stats look good for Obama, and stuff the dealer's lots with cars so they could have an inventory cushion to close their plants and crush the unions during their up-coming strike.

They made the workers pay for the "management's" own "strike-fund" , it's hilarious!  It was all probably part of the Bankster's loan "deal" from the very beginning, and these union members voted for Obama, which is even more hilarious! - mpg

Everyone in government and every field of endeavor the world over is defined by their position on this event. It is not necessary to know the truth. It is only necessary to know the extent of the lies in order to define any leader in any position anywhere in the world. By what they have said and by what they have not said, one can accurately judge who is an enemy of the people’s of the world. One can accurately determine who is a tool of the psychopaths or one of them. -- Think about what you allow yourself to know. Think about what you pass by; ignore, deny and defend ...that defines you. It defines the degree of your personal courage, your relationship to the truth, your values, your principles and what you will pass on to your children and everyone you meet. It tells you in that place where your conscience must once have lived whether you are a hypocrite and a fool or whether something greater still lives within you." - also posted at SmokingMirrors - Topix ||  Reficultnias's 9/11 Central  ||

Each of at least six air traffic controllers and some ten other employees who were on the job at the New York Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) in Ronkonkoma, N.Y., during the World Trade Center attacks gathered several hours after to recall their version of events. But that tape, which could have helped determine how the agency responded to clues that four planes had been hijacked, was destroyed before it was ever heard."

Giuliani Partners Oversaw Destruction of 9/11 Steel
From the History File - March 25, 2011 - A quote...."Giuliani’s partners in his consulting company, Giuliani Partners, are all key players from his administration who were involved in the 9/11 cover up and destruction of crucial evidence from the crime scene.  The executives at Giuliani Partners include Pasquale J. D’Amuro, the FBI inspector in charge of the 9/11 investigation, who supervised the “non-investigation” at the World Trade Center, and Richard Sheirer, the ”Jewish knight” who oversaw the removal and destruction of the crucial steel evidence by having it sent to Zionist-run scrapyards in New Jersey whence it was shipped to Asian smelters.  Between D’Amuro and Sheirer, the people at Giuliani Partners certainly know who authorized the destruction of this crucial evidence from the scene of the worst case of mass murder in American history, but they aren’t talking.  Why have these key players in the 9/11 cover up all joined Giuliani Partners and who are they serving?"

A quote...."Myth huggers naively believe that people in an American government do not lie and would not do horrible things to "their own people." In fact, any one who actually believes that Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, or any of their neocon cohorts would lose a minute of sleep or shed a single tear over the deaths of a bunch of liberal New Yorkers, he or she is clearly living in another reality!!! The victims of the 9/11 attacks cleared the path for trillions of dollars in profit for these men and their partners in the military industrial complex. Myth huggers close their eyes to the reality that power brokers are ruthless men who view us all as pawns.

It quickly brought to mind the infamous Berlin Conference of 1884 at which Africa was sliced up among its European colonisers. --  Quite rightly so, South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma let it be known - as any self-respecting African should have done - that he would have nothing to do with this cynical circus initiated by French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister David Cameron, onstensibly to decide Libya's future ... as if Libyans and Africans themselves should not be doing that." - also posted at GlobalRsrch & Uruknet

(This truth is a principle of curmudgeonry.) When I came to Mexico some eight years ago, it was a peaceful, moderately successful upper-Third-World country—middle-class, barely, literate, though often barely, and as democratic as the United States, which is to say barely. Things were improving, though often they had a long way to go. The young were visibly healthier than preceding generations. The birth rate was in sharp decline. Women entered the professions in substantial and growing numbers."

"And it was safe. Expats sat over coffee at the plaza laughing at people back in the States, insular, fearful, ignorant of the world outside their borders. (For recent college graduates, Mexico is a country south of the United States. “South” is down on maps.) Mexico, they believed, was most astonishing perilous. Don't drink the water, avoid ice. Salads were thought especially lethal. The Federales would kill you for sport, like squirrels. On any given day, you would probably be shot several times by bandidos. It was nonsense."

"Then Vicente Fox left office, and Felipe Calderon came in. He declared war on the narcotraficantes. Why he did this, I don't know, since Mexico didn't have a drug problem. My guess is that Washington pushed him into it, but I don't know."

From the very beginning 1-1/2 years ago we told Greece to default and that it was inevitable. Of course, the Greek government did not do that, because they wanted to hand their Illuminist friends Greek assets on a silver platter – that is public and private assets. When Greece goes eventually the other five will fall as well. Banks all over Europe are at risk even German savings banks, many US money market and pension funds have as much as 60% of their assets in instruments belonging to the six weaker nations.

A quote...."A Daily News investigation has found a roughly three-minute gap between the time the tape goes silent - according to government-prepared transcripts - and the time that top scientists have pinpointed for the crash."

"Here is my guess for those missing three minutes."

"Co-pilot: I found it! I found what's screwing up the flight director! --- Pilot: Well cut the f-cking wire!  ---  Co-pilot: Done.  ---  Pilot: All right, we are back in control. Tower, we have regained control of our aircraft and need a vector to the nearest place we can set down. This plane needs a good inspection and I want to know who added this unauthorized system to my plane! I want reporters in the field when we land. I am gonna burn someone's ass for this crazy stunt!  ---  Tower: Roger that. Ummmm... Do you see an F-16 off your starboard?  ---  Co-pilot: I got him.  ---  Pilot: That's affirmative tower, what does he want?  ---  Tower: Nothing. Nothing at all. He's just there to ... ummm. escort you. Yeah that's it, escort you. That's all.

This is consistent with the reports of wreckage being spread out over 8 miles of countryside and a skyphone call from inside Flight 93 that reported an explosion while still in the air. Flight 93 did not crash in one piece as the official story claims but came apart in midair. -- The most likely explanation is that the flight crew regained control of their aircraft, either from the hijackers or from a remote control system. Because the reality on the plane contradicted the official legend being created in the media, the plane could not be allowed to land intact and was then shot down." -- *Michael Rivero*

With 9/11 No Need for “Seven Days in May”
A quote...."This writer, with a BA in Speech & Theater and a minor in Film, regards John Frankenheimer’s 1964 movie Seven Days in May as the greatest! It is a must see for all Americans, especially in this age of extended empire. The screenplay was written by Rod Serling, and it is as powerful an indictment against the abuses of the Military Industrial Complex as one can find. The only reason this film would not fit into the genre of Serling’s Twilight Zone series is that a Coup d’état did actually occur in November 1963. View the film, either for the first time or the hundredth time… it is that important. Yet, perhaps the Military Industrial Complex, led by its inner core of imperialist manipulators, needs not a Coup d’état anymore. Perhaps all that is needed is enough fear of attack to allow the good folks of America to become as obedient as necessary. Did not September 11, 2001 give us that?"

Website Editor's Note:  Elements within the "Military Industrial Complex", also known as the "Iron Triangle", were definitely involved with facilitating the attack on 9/11.  However, they were not the only ones, in fact, it has become increasingly clear to this website editor that Israel, along with its appendages in the United States, empowered by AIPAC and other organizations like it, along with many individuals within the "Jewish Community" who live here amongst us, took the commanding role in facilitating 9/11.

This is an intolerable situation, we, as a people, CANNOT have our House and Senate swearing fealty to Israel every chance they can get, we cannot have one fifth of our Congress jaunting over to Israel every year on all expense paid vacation trips just so they can give the Mossad more opportunities for blackmail, we cannot have hundreds -- perhaps even thousands -- within our very own military doing the same, we cannot have dual Israeli/American citizens like Michael Chertoff profiting from actions carried out by Israeli firms under the direction of the Mossad, we cannot have the Neocons and others of their ilk, most of them from the "Jewish Community" implementing thirty year plans like the PNAC Protocols against the interests of the rest of the people in this country.

This situation is simply not acceptable -- Behavior like this is treasonable in ANY county, by ANY measure or criteria, at ANY time in history. -- Period. - mpg

Morgan.  What very few know is that in November of 2010 Ben Bernanke made a trip to the island off of Georgia to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the original meeting.  This original meeting was held in the strictest of secrecy lest the public realize how the powerful bankers sought to aggregate power in a few hands.  With the too big to fail becoming even bigger and the Fed blocking full out audits like a hockey goalie, it is nice to see few things change even after 100-years of destroying the U.S. dollar."

September 11, 2001: The CIA’s Islamist Cover Up
A quote...."[We have] a very precise and practical problem that hasn’t been addressed: the refusal of the CIA to disclose the details of its involvement with Islamist groups. In recent weeks, the agency has tried to block sections of a new book that deals with its handling of al-Qaeda before and after September 11. But this is only one part of a large-scale cover-up that Western governments have been perpetrating about decades of ties to Islamist organizations.

Libya: NATO Enabling War Crimes

The Red Cross adds that "a massacre is not necessarily committed only with knives." While many will attempt to portray the premeditated creation of a humanitarian disaster as "more humane" than taking the city of Sirte by force - rebels have in fact already tried to take the city by force and were soundly repelled. NATO airstrikes have apparently proved ineffective and other cities are now bolstering their defenses and rejecting calls by the NATO-backed Al Qaeda fighters to surrender. As the deadline for NATO's military intervention grows increasingly nearer, their efforts to seize the nation have become increasingly more desperate and in proportion more depraved." - bold by website editor

#3 Avoiding confrontation: (Actually they apper to be causing one) -- In 2006, Syria switched all of its foreign currency transactions from dollars to euros. Perhaps taking notes from Iraq, this move was made to protect them against any confrontation with the US, as US laws require that all dollar transactions have to pass through the US banking system. Iraq made a similar decision in 2000, opting to sell Iraqi oil in euros. Syria’s move to euros is designed to keep their foreign assets safer, avoiding a situation in which they’d be frozen during conflict with the US. The decreased use of the dollar affects demand of it, and thus, the dollar’s value." - bold by website editor

From the History File - Original Essay January 2003 - (just a reminder) -- A quote...."Although completely unreported by the U.S. media and government, the answer to the Iraq enigma is simple yet shocking -- it is in large part an oil currency war. One of the core reasons for this upcoming war is this administration's goal of preventing further Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) momentum towards the euro as an oil transaction currency standard. However, in order to pre-empt OPEC, they need to gain geo-strategic control of Iraq along with its 2nd largest proven oil reserves."

Dollar vs EURO -- Weapons of mass destruction
From the History File - Published May 2003 - (just a reminder) -- quote...."There were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, in the form of EURO currency. The petrodollar depends upon Iraq's oil reserves to defend the United States dollar against the EURO and other currencies. In 2001, well before Iraq's invasion, the dollar faced uncertainty as an overpriced, debt heavy currency against a new and robust EURO. In early 2004, the dollar is losing ground."

It announced a big cash management bill on Monday, and another one on Thursday to be auctioned next week. That should be enough for now, but revenues appear to be going off a cliff, with declines in withholding taxes now at the point where withholding is down year to year in real terms. That’s after being up strongly in May. It suggests that the US“conomy” entered recession over the past couple of months. Meanwhile, while the evidence suggests that the conomy has already been in recession, mainstream conomist pundits continue to argue about whether the conomy will have a double dip or not. While they are trying to figure it out, the damage to the financial markets is fait accompli, and will get worse."

Well, as of today, or less than a month since the expansion, total US debt is at $14.697 trillion.

In the interim, on a day when job growth in this country was essentially ZERO, we are going to lose another 30,000 private sector jobs. Finally, it is worth mentioning that these lawsuits are suggesting that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were semi-clueless when it came to the mortgage securitization process.

Hasidi was a US prisoner of war after being captured by the Pakistanis, but tells the Wall Street Journal of April 2 that he now hates the US only "less than 50%" hinting that Americans can redeem themselves by appeasing Al Qaeda with arms, money, political power, and diplomatic support. At his side in the city leadership is Sufian bin Kumu, Osama bin Laden's chauffeur, another terrorist who was an inmate at Guantánamo Bay for six years. Also among the Darna city fathers is al-Barrani, a devoted member of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, which merged with Al Qaeda in 2007."
