Fighting for the Soul of the American Dream
Quote of the Day...."America never followed Paine's principles. Since the 1980s, Democrats and Republicans adopted neoliberal harshness. Bush I continued Reagan's policies. Clinton hardened them. Bush II much more, and Obama matched Star Trek by going where no administration went before. -- For decades, working Americans were sacrificed on the alter of unprecedented wealth transfers to Wall Street, other corporate favorites, and super-rich elites grabbing all they can and wanting more. -- Industrial America was hollowed out. Monopoly finance capital replaced it. Casino capitalism thrived. So did unbridled government-sanctioned fraud on an incalculable scale." - Source:  SteveLendman

Moral Depravity and Arrogance of the Money Junkies Will Be their Downfall
A quote...."I get sick and tired of people saying the Oligarchs Like the Rockefeller clan, the Warburgs, the Harriman and the Rothschild will never face justice because they are the super rich. Are people forgetting some basic truths here? These people are not untouchable or invincible at all. Actually they are at the most vulnerable right now as ever before. Their Dynasties and  Financial Empires do fall over the centuries because in the process destroying societies seeking to gain at others suffering. They in the process destroy themselves in the end. They will collapse from within with the outside finishing the job bringing them to justice. They say there is no honor amongst thieves. These people not only double cross societies. They betray themselves fighting for the levers of power.A divided house cannot stand forever."

The Suicide of Liberty: The Transformation of the US into a Police State
Book Review - A quote...."Pat Buchanan’s latest book, "Suicide of a Superpower", [GoglPrcSrch]* raises the question whether America will survive to 2025. The question might strike some readers as unduly pessimistic and others as optimistic. It is unclear whether the US, as we have known it, will survive its next presidential election. -- Consider the candidates. Liberal law professor Jonathan Turley, who was likely to have been an early Obama supporter, now wonders if Obama is “the most disastrous president in our history.” Despite Obama’s failure, the Republicans can’t come up with anyone any better. One Republican candidate admires Alan Greenspan, the Federal Reserve chairman who gave us financial deregulation and the financial crisis. Another is ready for a preemptive strike on Iran. Yet another thinks the Soviet Union is a grave threat to the United States. None of these clueless dopes are capable of presiding over a government." - *links added

The CIA's impunity on 'torture tapes' - The 9/11 cover-up continues....mpg
A quote...."Lee Hamilton and Tom Kean – the co-chairmen of the 9/11 Commission – are the prototypical Wise Old Men of Washington. These are the types chosen to head blue-ribbon panels whenever the US government needs a respectable, trans-partisan, serious face to show the public in the wake of a mammoth political failure. Wise Old Men of Washington are entrusted with this mission because, by definition, they are loyal, devoted members of the political establishment and will criticise political institutions and leaders only in the most respectful and restrained manner.  --  That is why it was so remarkable when Hamilton and Kean, on 2 January 2008, wrote an op-ed in the New York Times repeatedly accusing the CIA and the Bush White House of knowingly "obstructing" their commission's investigation into the 9/11 attack. As many imprisoned felons can attest, the word "obstruction" packs a powerful punch as a legal term of art signifying the crime of "obstruction of justice", and yet, here were these two mild-mannered, establishment-protecting civil servants accusing CIA and Bush officials of that crime in the most public and unambiguous manner possible."

A pair of dummies are strapped into the front seat of a car that is on a track. Then the car is run into a wall at high speed. The engineers then examine what happened to the dummies. If the dummies had been human beings, would they have been killed? Dismembered? -- But what if the dummies were in charge? What if they strapped the engineers into the car and ran the test? -- This is what is happening in Europe today."

And in any event, they’re tiny compared to the size of the U.S. economy. -- If you want the real reason, follow the money. A Greek (or Irish or Spanish or Italian or Portugese) default would have roughly the same effect on our financial system as the implosion of Lehman Brothers in 2008."

Threads In A Foreboding Tapestry

Prior to this year, the FCBs had typically absorbed the equivalent of 25% of new US Treasury issuance month in and month out. That was effectively a subsidy of US financial markets. It lowered long term interest rates artificially and injected cash into the US markets and banking system."

They are embarrassed, and feel that they need something that looks like a "victory."  Secondly, they wrongly believe that if the capture the hometown of Muammar Gaddafi, that the war will end.  This will not happen.  Did the war end when they captured Tripoli?  No, and that should be a sign for them.  Historians say that when a country's capital falls, the people of that country always quit.  That did not happen with the powerful people of Libya!  They were stunned at first.  But they eventually shook it off--like a boxer who got hit with a hard blow from an opponent--and now control once again 80% of Tripoli]." - also posted at WarInIraq

Collins and Sibel Edmonds discuss the meaning of true alternative media, the role of corporate-foundations in mainstreaming the so-called alternative news, the shameful state of mainstream media as the mouthpiece for the government steered by mega corporations, the joint pseudo alternative-mainstream media black-outs on information pertaining to 9/11, government whistleblowers, secrecy, and the falsification of the truth by tentacles of our shadow government. We go on record with examples of establishment alternatives in disguise and real cases of operatives who sabotage true alternatives like Boiling Frogs Post. We talk about Boiling Frogs Post, our partners and team members, our goals, our pledge to complete independence from the corporates and their foundations, our stand on partisanship, and more!"

Obama’s Finance Reform - Jewish Bankers Win Again
From the History File - A quote...."THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS,” said the chief regulatory officer for CME Group in an interview last week after surveying Obama’s new and hurried finance reform bill. -- Originally introduced by Democrat Senator Christopher Dodd, Obama wasted no time giving the bill an executive push. -- The House version of the bill, written by Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank, a Jew and an avowed homosexual who admitted having an affair with a male prostitute, was approved in December. -- The Republican opposition to the bill has suffered a still birth as GOP senators this past week finally realized that locking arms with big-buck Jewish bankers does a doozy on campaign contributions. Now the Wall Street-bought Republicans are declaring: “Finance Reform Is Good!”"

This website editor does not posses, nor has this website editor ever seen, the exact figures detailing how much, by ownership, position, or title, members of the "Jewish Community" control the TBTF's and therefore the rest of this nation's financial industry.  It must be stated however, it has to be substantially more than two percent, which is the proportion of the US population made up by members of the "Jewish Community".  It should also be understood that....

• The TBTF's, through ownership of stock, have obtained substantial control over the top fortune 500 companies.
• The TBTF's and the financial industry they dominate, now generate forty percent of this nation's business "profits".
• The TBTF's have received the bulk of the bail-outs and other federal support and as a consequence have grown ever larger.
• The TBTF's practice of kicking-back a miniscule portion of the trillions given to them by the legislature to insure the legislature's continued financial and judicial largess, is the exact same ever expanding, self-aggrandizing, bureaucratic technique used by the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium to maintain its strangle-hold over this nation's financial, judicial, and political institutions along with ensuring this nation's continued military support for their PNAC Protocols. - mpg

'We may need to print even MORE money', Bank of England economist warns just days after £75billion cashflow is sanctioned -- Haaaaa, haaaaaa, haaaaa!

EUROZONE UPDATE - Think Tank Says Bailout Fund Will Need $6 Trillion And France Will Lose AAA Rating
A quote...."Pardon while we chuckle, because $1 trillion, let alone $6 trillion, is never going to happen in Europe.  Where do they plan to get the money, Euro Claus? -- Consisdering that the current proposal being voted on by all 17 Eurozone members calls for a fund of less than $500 billion, this new number, though more realistic in terms of the size needed to fix the problem, is a political impossibility, especially given the popular resistance among voters in France and Germany to bailouts for irresponsible neighboring countries."

Also, were it not for Dexia someone might notice that two other banks bit the nationalization bullet in the past 24 hours as the contagion, not from Dexia, but from the fact that there is simply not enough money around: as a result Danish Max Bank and Greek Proton Bank just handed the keys to their HQs to their primary regulators, with the management teams quietly riding off into the sunset."

The Uncredible Dog and Pony Show: Merkel and Sarkozy
A quote...."For the past 18 months, every time reality threatens to intrude in Europe, Merkel and Sarkozy rush onto the global stage for a repeat performance of their dog-and-pony show. The global media declares it an artistic triumph and the "solution" to Europe's insolvency. -- The fact that we've seen the exact same performance repeated again and again appears to be lost on the financial media, which never tires of declaring "this is the solution that will end the European bank crisis." -- A few days or weeks later, reality once again intrudes, the ugly truth of systemic insolvency rears its frightening head once again, and the Dynamic Duo of Eurozone political theater rush onto stage for another tiresome performance of their cliche-ridden dog-and-pony show." - also posted at ZeroHedge

For over two days now, Libya's interim rulers have been waging one of the biggest assaults yet on the most-important remaining stronghold of the ousted leader. Revolutionary forces claim they control most of the town that's been under siege for three weeks now.

Related Article - A quote...."A massive storm on Sirte that resulted in the brief occupation of a University Campus and Hospital in the South Eastern Suburbs. After the battle raged back and forth all day, a massive counter attack that left 200 TNC-fighters dead and countless wounded was enough for Mahmud Jibril, who is pulling “the fighters with allegiance to him” out of the battle, calling “the death of over 200 fighters for a one minute Al Jazeera Victory senseless“. Jibril´s decision is one more example that the NATO Narrative is discredited and  of the inherent instability and infighting of the NATO proxy regime.
