The "red false flag warning" re-issued on 09-22-2013 is still in affect. -- It is strongly recommended that those security and intelligence service personnel who remain loyal to their nation's peoples, constitutions, and the rule of law, pay close attention to any and ALL activity being conducted by Israeli the US-NRE, the Gulf States and/or British terror support networks with particular emphasis on what any Israeli consulates, embassies, or commercial companies -- ESPECIALLY ANY -- Israeli companies involved with the securities or communications industries -- are doing over the next month or two.

New Narrative For Syria: Assad's Biological Weapons
Red False Flag Warning - Special Note - (Is still in effect and has been since 09-22-2013 - mpg) -- A quote...."With recent developments surrounding the Syrian crisis and the political rug being jerked from underneath the Anglo-American imperialists by Syrian/Russian diplomacy, the increasingly poor public relations of the death squads, inter-death squad fratricide, and the growing rift between the United States and Saudi Arabia, it might appear that the assault on Syria which was imminent only months ago is drawing to a close. Taken in tandem with the deal drawn up between Russia and Syria regarding the destruction of chemical weapons and Assad’s constant victories against the death squads, one may easily be tempted to believe that the imperialist quest for the destruction of Syria has already largely come to an end." - also posted at InteliHub

US government shipped bio-chem weapons? Absurd!
Red False Flag Warning - (Is still in effect and has been since 09-22-2013 - mpg) -- A quote...."There has been a considerable debate [propaganda] about whether Saddam hid some of his bio/chem weapons in Syria, to evade UN weapons inspectors. If he did, then is it possible the current situation in Syria has a few of its roots in the US? Is it possible some of Syria’s WMDs originally came from America?"

Russia to Double Number of Warplanes at Central Asian Airbase
Related War Warning - (Is still in effect and has been since 09-20-2013) - Russia is getting ready for when Israel and/or its North American Colony under Israel's orders, stages another false-flag to be used as a   pretext by its psychotic, soon to be impoverished Golem to launch an attack against the nations of Syria, Iran, or both. - mpg -- A quote...." The number of Russian planes at the Kant airbase in Kyrgyzstan will expand twofold by the end of the year, a senior air force commander said. - The number of “war planes will double,” Viktor Sevostyanov, head the Second Air Force and Air Defense Command, said after arriving in Kant for the celebrations of the base's 10-year anniversary."

What "Sanctions" Will Happen If Syrian "Rebels" Are Shown To Have Used Poison Gas? - None....mpg
A quote...."Outside the reality-distorting bubble of US corporate media, almost nobody believes the Syrian regime are the only ones who have sarin gas in that unhappy country, but the rebels are not included in its inspections protocols or threatened sanctions. And while the Syrian regime gets six months to dispose of all chemical weapons, why does the US need ten years to get rid of its own stockpile?" - also posted at GlobalRsrch

It's a rhetorical question.  The Syrian Saudi sponsored, foreign Wahhabist terrorists have already been proven to have used gas in two prior false-flag attacks in an attempt to implicate the Syrian government. Nobody did anything than, nobody, not even the US-NRE challenged the claim that it was the anti-government terrorists who carried out the attacks.  The Ghouta attack was their third out of three. Their penultimate "hat-trick". Nothing is going to be done about it either. Almost everyone already agrees it was the Saudi supported foreign Wahhabist terrorists that carried out the attack. - mpg

The US-Saudi breakup that isn't - Maybe pleasing Saudi Arabia shouldn't be a high priority for the US anyway.
A quote...."Shiite Iran is Sunni Saudi Arabia's great rival in the region, and while a negotiated solution to end sanctions against Iran in return for assurances that it won't be able to build a nuclear bomb is in the interests of the US and much of the world, the Saudis don't see it that way. They, like Israel, want Iran to be economically and ultimately militarily crushed – not freed of the shackles of sanctions."

Saudi Restores Libyan Spy Chief’s Role as Global Shadow Broker
A quote...."Until two months ago, Saudi Arabia considered Moussa Koussa, the most prominent Libyan intelligence chief under Muammar Gaddafi, a major threat to its security. But it seems that Bandar bin Sultan’s return as Saudi’s spy chief helped reset Koussa’s record and recruit him for his team."

What Did the Qatari Minister Tell His Saudi Counterpart?
Geo-Political Analysis -- A quote...."....the course of all these events actually began nearly a full decade ago, when the US resolved to overthrow Saddam Hussein. Saudi was in favor, but Syria was against. -- Shortly after the fall of Baghdad in April 2003, it became increasingly clear that the Saudis, who had sided with the victor in the Iraq war, started losing in politics what they wrongly thought they had gained through the military might of others. Meanwhile, the Syrians, who sided with the defeated party, began reaping political benefits, in parallel with their Iranian ally’s geostrategic gains. -- The first seeds of the assault on Syria may have stemmed from this paradox back then [more than a decade ago],especially as the members of the losing coalition became more numerous, including George W. Bush, Jacques Chirac, and the House of Saud and their allies in Lebanon, who all had stakes to win and to lose in both Damascus and Beirut."

As usual, we find, once again, not The Jesuits, not Opus Dei and not any of the cloven hoofed popes, engaged in aggressive monkey business. We find, the usual suspects. Of course there are some things the former are engaged in. How's that celibacy thing working out? Anyway, the guys wearing the Big Satan Pants, consistently lower the bar below that of any other group active at human distress. -- Israel and the demons they worship are getting very antsy. It's like certain serial killers and the full moon. If they haven't killed and dismembered someone for more than a certain period of time, the compulsion becomes very intense. This is why Israel is sodomizing members of the American Senate, in order to convince them to pass legislation legalizing an attack on Iran. In those cases where they have not been successful in the strong-arm rape of congressional representatives, they have the videos of them doing it to underage children set up in a honey pot sting. Of course they also use people of legal age when any simple scandal will destroy them."

A Volcanic Eruption of ‘Jewish [Euro-Kazarian] Values’?
A quote...."A few years ago an Israeli rabbi by the name of Yitzhak Shapira published a book entitled The King’s Torah, in which he justified the killing of non-Jewish children. “There is justification in harming [non-Jewish] infants if it is clear that they will grow up to harm us,” Shapira writes. “Under such circumstances the blow can be directed at them and not only by targeting adults.” Perhaps that’s what Wikipedia means by the “semi-permeable relation” between Jewish ethics and “duties that are usually not punished under law.” So far as I’m aware, not a single Israeli soldier has ever been prosecuted for killing a Palestinian child." - Source:  Figs&Vineyards

Regarding the article shown above, it should be noted that eighty to ninety percent of so-called "Jews" aren't really Semitic, Sephardic or for that matter...."Jewish".  They're actually Euro-Kazarians ordered by a Kazarian king to copy the most mercenary and odious aspects of that religion back in the eighth century.  Like the Zio-"Christians", an odd, servile, cult established in this country solely to service the needs of their Euro-Kazarian masters, and the abominably vicious, terrorist, Wahhabist Cult established by the Saudi Parasitic family for geo-political control over the Middle East, none of these groups are "religious" in nature.  They're simply just methods of control and cover for the murderous actions of two criminal consortiums, neither of which recognizes "borders", "constitutions", "nation-states", or the rights of the rest of the people in this world not to be exploited or murdered. - mpg - posted 10-26-13

US lawmakers flocked to Israel in August, figures show
A quote...."Israel was among the top destinations for American lawmakers in August, a new report detailing a sharp spike in overseas travel by members of congress shows. - According to the Political Moneyline report, August 2013 saw the highest total of congressional trips, 130 jaunts costing $1.7 million, in two years. - In August 2012, only 47 trips were made, but August 2011 saw 135 trips by lawmakers, the most since 2006. -- In August of this year, 26 Republican House members, including nearly two-thirds of the Republican freshman class, came to Israel on a trip sponsored by the American Israel Education Foundation, an AIPAC-affiliated organization that funds educational trips to Israel for American politicians. Mark Sanford, the South Carolina politician who found himself at the center of a scandal when his marital affair was exposed, came under fire for taking his new fiancée on the trip. AIEF spent more than $18,558 to bring Sanford and his partner on the week-long trip, according to the National Journal. -- House Democrats sent their members to Israel in August as well. 37 members of Congress made the AIEF-sponsored trip — led by U.S. Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the second-ranked Democrat in the House — including Robert Kennedy’s grandson, Joseph Kennedy III of Massachusetts." - Topix ||  Treason Defined - 10-18-13 - mpg  ||

ADL: 100 Years of Hate
A quote...."The ADL was founded in the immediate aftermath of the conviction of Atlanta B’nai B’rith President Leo Frank for the strangulation and sex murder of a 13-year-old factory girl, Mary Phagan. The international Jewish community did not believe that Frank should have been convicted. They had mounted a huge press, publicity, legal, and lobbying campaign to convince officials and the public that a Black man, James Conley, was the real killer. But the evidence against Frank was so strong — and the evidence against Conley so thin — that the Southern, all White, and doubtless philo-Semitic (like most of the Christian South) jury unanimously convicted Leo Frank and sentenced him to hang. Two months after Frank’s conviction, on October 20, 1913, the ADL was formed. To this day, the ADL and its allies promote the fiction that Frank’s conviction was a result of “anti-Semitism” and use the case a rallying cry to garner support and funding. "

• The German Chancellor said President Obama's reputation has been shattered on an international scale because of espionage scandal
  

Don't forget people, Israel and Israeli companies were not only general contractors to this massive worldwide industrial / financial espionage campaign, and black-mail trolling operation, but Israel and its major parasites received EVERYTHING the NSA received, perhaps even many things the NSA didn't receive, and they used it! 

Why do you think they're "businesses" have been so successful for the last decade?  Or how they seem to control so much of the media, political and financial resources in the EU?  Or why Germany gave them six submarines which they KNEW Israel was arming with nuclear weapons?

To justify this reserve, the author suggested, laconically "France is not an approved target for joint discussion by Israël and the United States".

"The memo acknowledges that eavesdropping on the numbers had produced “little reportable intelligence”."

"Because the leaders of allies such as Germany, Brazil, Mexico, the EU and G-20 have no ties to Al Qaeda terrorists, the spying was obviously done for other purposes.

Long Live the New Resistance
A quote...."The global New Resistance movement prevented the outbreak of World War Three. The members of the new resistance played a huge part in defeating [for the moment] the global elite that sought to impose a New World Order. They exposed frauds and false flag events via their websites. People termed whistleblowers leaked documents that proved the freedom and liberty of citizens was being eroded away. These people lived in fear for the rest of their lives, many died in mysterious accidents. When military rule was imposed they fought hand to hand to maintain their rights as individuals and citizens of a free world. The Nouveau Resistance movement was found in all oppressed nations, and it was their devotion to the general awakening of the people that allowed us the freedoms we enjoy today."

The REAL Reason U.S. Targets Whistleblowers
Must Read - Weblist Resource -- A quote...."It should not be difficult to understand why the Obama administration is so fixated on intimidating whistleblowers and going far beyond any prior administration – including those of the secrecy-obsessed Richard Nixon and George W Bush – to plug all leaks.

Providing healthcare should be simple. - ACA complicates it enormously. It's rife with inequities. Households can't possibly understand its provisions. They have no say. They're forced to comply. - ACA is a scam. It's a ripoff. It's a healthcare rationing scheme. It's a boon to providers. They wrote the law.

The Fed Can Only Fail - Or succeed??
If you want to know if the "Fed" has failed as so many people have suggested you need to do three things.

• Determine what the "Fed" is, along with its actions, and NOT pay any attention to what they say.
  
• Determine who benefited from the "Fed's" actions.
  
• To do those two things, just follow the money. -- Who gets to print it and who gets to keep it

By those simple rules of thumb, or definitions, the Fed's actions have actually been an outstanding success story so far!!  --  More debt-notes (Fed script), which are claims on this society's resources, have been transferred to the wealthiest one percent of this society in the shortest period of time ever witnessed in this nation's history. -- That's actually quite a successful achievement by any measure. - mpg

This will last from Oct. 17, 2013 until Feb. 7, 2014. This has some very dangerous implications for Americans. It means as of right now there is no debt ceiling and the federals can spend as much as they like. With all of the previous spending by DHS, and the impending economic crash that we face in the near future, it is terrifying to think what the federals might buy in the next 90 days that they can use against American citizens."

PAUL B. FARRELL: Investors Can’t Win And Nobel Economists Can’t Help

In fact, all Americans may be trapped in this simultaneous unstable blend of rational and irrational genes. The two polarities:

• Winner Gene Fama has been telling us for decades that “Mr. Market” is rational (in obvious disagreement with two of the real world’s most successful investors, Ben Graham and Warren Buffett), that the stock market is an all-knowing rational cosmic entity that processes all information, sees all, knows all.
• In contrast, new Nobel economist Robert Shiller has been telling us just the opposite, that the investor’s brain loves getting high on its self-addicting cocktail of “irrational exuberance,” blowing bubbles until destroying itself and “Mr. Market,” as it did in 1929, 2000 and 2008.

Stop Living in the Back Room of the Central Banker's Underwear
Must Read - Quote of the Day...."Absurdity continues to pile up on absurdity. The ever so clever, and savvy and self involved, consider themselves Masters of the Universe. They pat themselves and each other on the back, watchful that the hand does not contain a knife. They boast openly and in private about their absolute control over the temporal plane. They point at J.P. Morgan and laugh; "13 billion dollars! Is that all? Dimon stole a lot more than that!" Then, one of them turns and addresses an underling and says, "Peterson, I want you to look into the possibility of us doing something similar over at our shop." -- They're like trap door spiders living in a woven cocoon of imagined security. They are the true Untouchables, or so they think. They emerge, periodically, to suck the life blood out of whomever is handy. Occasionally they get together with members of their own kind and feed en masse, like the Lost Boys heading down to the beach for a bite to eat. They've watched their parents do it. They've watched their mentors do it and they have personal evidence of doing it themselves. Who's going to stop them? The government isn't going to stop them. They own the government. The Justice Department isn't going to do anything about it. They tell the government who to have appointed to the Justice Department. The police and the military aren't going to do anything about it. They promote and appoint the heads of police and the military leaders who follow policy or... they get rid of them, like they just did last week and again this week."

As Ye Sow, So Shall Ye Reap - posted at ICH
Must Read - Second Quote of the Day...."October 23, 2013 "Information Clearing House - The year 2014 could be shaping up as the year that the chickens come home to roost. -- Americans, even well-informed ones, don’t know all of the mistakes made by neoconized and corrupted Washington in the past two decades. However, enough is known to see that the US has lost economic and political power, and that the loss is irreversible."

"The economic cost of this lost will be born by what remains of the middle class and the increasingly poverty-stricken lower class. The one percent will have offshore gold holdings and large sums of money in foreign currencies and other foreign assets to see them through."

"In the political arena, the collapse of the Soviet Union presented Washington with the grand opportunity to reallocate the Pentagon budget to other uses. Part of the reduction could have been returned to taxpayers for their own use. Another part could have been used to improve worn out infrastructure. And another part could have been used to repair and improve the social safety net, thus insuring domestic tranquility. A final, but perhaps most important part, could have been used to begin repaying the Treasury IOUs in the Social Security Trust Fund from which Washington has borrowed and spent $2 trillion, leaving non-marketable IOUs in the place of the Social Security payroll tax revenues that Washington raided in order to fund its wars and current operations."

"Instead, influenced by neoconservative warmongers who advocated America using its “sole superpower” status to establish hegemony over the world, Washington let hubris and arrogance run away with it. The consequence was that Washington destroyed its soft power with lies and war crimes, only to find that its military power was insufficient to support its occupation of Iraq, its conquest of Afghanistan, and its financial imperialism."

The Coming Grand Bargain: 'We're All Neoliberals Now' - posted at ICH

It's really that simple."

Journalist Or Activist? Smearing Glenn Greenwald - posted at ICH
Must Read - (For the analysis of our Orwellian world.  To be forewarned is to be forearmed.  It is to thoroughly understand that EVERY SINGLE THING you see, hear and read from the corporate media complex is full of carefully crafted, meticulously structured, and deliberately placed, Orwellian Newspeak designed to dumb everyone down to the level of an amoral, obedient, slave of the ruling parasites. -- If a person understands that one simple fact, if they internalize that one single truth, they will view what they see, hear and read more critically, and protect themselves from becoming a mindless, voiceless, drone.  It may one day even save their life, those of their loved ones, and perhaps prevent another massive societal tragedy. - mpg)

A quote...."October 23, 2013 "Information Clearing House - "Media Lens"-  Modern thought control is dependent on subliminal communication. Messages influencing key perceptions are delivered unseen, unnoticed, with minimal public awareness of what is happening or why. -- For example, journalists tell us that Hugo Chavez was “divisive”, that Julian Assange and Edward Snowden are “narcissistic”, that George Galloway is “controversial”. But beneath their literal meaning, these adjectives communicate a hidden message: that these individuals are acceptable targets for negative media judgement; they are fair game. -- By contrast, Barack Obama is never described as “controversial” or “divisive”. David Cameron is not a “rightist prime minister”. Why? Because the rules of professional journalism are said to ensure that journalists serve democracy by remaining objective and impartial. Reporters are merely to describe, not to judge, the words and actions of leading politicians. -- Crucially, this deference is afforded only to political actors deemed “mainstream”, “respectable”. By implication, individuals subject to media judgement are presented as outsiders, beyond the democratic pale." - In other words massive, unconstrained, unapologetic, self-serving, lying, hypocrisy. - mpg

More On The Saudi Parasitic Family's Nervous Breakdown - Or How The Saudis Have Gone Berserk....

Paranoid Saudis Fear US Treachery - posted at ICH
Must Read - A quote...."October 24, 2013 "Information Clearing House - The Saudis are sulking big time with Washington. This is not just due to a temper-tantrum by the kingdom’s spymaster, Prince Bandar. The entire House of Saud is in ructions over what the rulers perceive as “American treachery”. - When Prince Bandar bin Sultan briefed anonymous Western diplomats at his Jeddah majlis last weekend about a “strategic shift” by Saudi Arabia away from its long-time ally, there was speculation that the Saudi intelligence chief was perhaps speaking out in a personal capacity. - That is unlikely; subsequent furious comments by former ministry of interior chief, Prince Turki al-Faisal, about Washington’s “farcical policies”, and a testy meeting in Paris between US top diplomat John Kerry and Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal earlier this week confirm that the kingdom’s inner circle is up in arms with its American patron."

Saudi Arabia severs diplomatic ties with US over response to conflict in Syria
Geo-Political Alert -- A quote...."I think Syria and Iran is just a cover story. Yes, Saudi Arabia wants regional threats to their power reduced, but not to the same extent as Israel. Certainly not enough to risk alienating the US. -- I think the real issue is money. -- As part of the petro-dollar deal, Saudi Arabia invests much of the US dollars they accept for their oil in the US economy, with estimates ranging from $400 billion to $800 billion."

"That kind of cash buys a lot of influence (which annoys the hell out of Israel), and Saudi Arabia risks having those assets frozen if relations with the US collapse. Neither Syria nor Iran are worth that risk. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia knows that $400-$800 billion will vanish if the US economy collapses, and they may actually be sending a warning to the US that they will start to dump those investments (including their T-bills) and move their money elsewhere unless the US Government gets its financial house in order."

"That may backfire if the US feels their only option is to have another false-flag that is blamed on Saudi Arabia, following which those Saudi investments can be seized. Don't forget, Israel tried to claim that Saudi Arabia was behind 9-11, so this is not a new idea." -- *Michael Rivero*

"Last month the world witnessed a paradigm shift: China surpassed the United States as the world’s largest consumer of foreign oil, importing 6.3 million barrels per day compared to the United States’ 6.24 million. This trend is likely to continue and this gap is likely to grow, according to the EIA’s October short-term energy outlook. Wood Mackenzie, a leading global energy consultancy, echoed this prediction, estimating Chinese oil imports will rise to 9.2 million barrels per day (70% of total demand) by 2020." - Source:  WashBlog

The Growing Rift With Saudi Arabia Threatens To Severely Damage The Petrodollar
Geo-Political Alert - Related Article - A quote...."The number one American export is U.S. dollars.  It is paper currency that is backed up by absolutely nothing, but the rest of the world has been using it to trade with one another and so there is tremendous global demand for our dollars.  The linchpin of this system is the petrodollar.  For decades, if you have wanted to buy oil virtually anywhere in the world you have had to do so with U.S. dollars.  But if one of the biggest oil exporters on the planet, such as Saudi Arabia, decided to start accepting other currencies as payment for oil, the petrodollar monopoly would disintegrate very rapidly.  For years, everyone assumed that nothing like that would happen any time soon, but now Saudi officials are warning of a “major shift” in relations with the United States.  In fact, the Saudis are so upset at the Obama administration that “all options” are reportedly “on the table”.  If it gets to the point where the Saudis decide to make a major move away from the petrodollar monopoly, it will be absolutely catastrophic for the U.S. economy."

Ten Explosive U.S. Government Secrets about Israel - posted at ICH
Must Read - A quote...."October 24, 2013 "Information Clearing House - "IRmep" - - In 1968 Director of Central Intelligence Richard Helms wrote urgently to Attorney General Ramsey Clark and President Lyndon B. Johnson that some highly enriched uranium fueling Israel's Dimona nuclear reactor was stolen from America.  LBJ reportedly uttered, "Don't tell anyone else, even [Secretary of State] Dean Rusk and [Defense Secretary] Robert McNamara."  The FBI immediately launched a deep investigation into the inexplicably heavy losses at the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation NUMEC in Pennsylvania and the highly suspicious activities and Israeli connections of the Americans running it.  The CIA was tasked to find out what was going on in Israel, and compiled thousands of documents about the incident (PDF). Although CIA officials in a position to know unofficially went on record claiming a diversion had occurred, for decades the CIA has thwarted declassification and release of the LBJ memos.  On October 18, 2013 the only appeals panel with the power to overrule the CIA—the Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel ISCAP—sent notification that Americans are not yet ready to know the contents of the memos (ISCAP decision PDF). This denial of public release of decades-old secrets concerning U.S.-Israel relations is far from unique.  Although the Obama administration promised unprecedented transparency, it has emasculated the public's ability to give informed consent on a wide range of key foreign policy issues. A review of ten particularly toxic U.S. secrets about Israel suggests stakeholders should start assuming the worst but most logical explanation." - Source:  IRMEP

Syria: After CW Removal, Obama May Again Go For Regime Change
Prediction Alert - War Warning - A quote...."The NYT has a long piece on the development of Obama's policies towards Syria. While some on his staff pressed for outright open war on Syria others were going along the "let them kill each other" line. Their idea was and is to let both sides fight each other until no one is left standing. To this purpose the stream of weapons and ammunition to the mercenaries fighting the Syrian government was switched off when the mercenaries were in advantage and switched on again when the government seemed to win. -- That position has somewhat changed after the agreement by Syria to get rid of its chemical weapons. The Obama administration had to give the preference to the Syrian government.

Drone Victims Recount Horror of Follow-Up Strikes.... - posted at ICH
A quote...."October 23, 2013 "Information Clearing House -  Human rights organization, Amnesty International, has released a report that presents two case studies on victims of United States drone strikes in Pakistan and also details the practice of signature strikes, which has led to rescuers being killed in follow-up attacks while they are trying to help wounded individuals."

FYI:  Everybody involved in secondary drone strikes, a.k.a. the "Double Tap" is a war criminal under international law and could be legally hung by their necks until they're dead if convicted of their crimes.  Whether that will happen as a practical matter is a completely different question. 

But deliberately targeting rescue workers, innocent civilians and relatives of a so-called "target" in a secondary strike is NOT "collateral damage"!  -- By definition, it's simply terrorism.**  There is no possible legal defense for this act and NONE - if you note - has been put forward so far. 

Anyone in the US-NRE's military who is identified as carrying out second strike "double taps", could be placing themselves in severe (i.e. criminal) legal jeopardy and could also be subject to civil lawsuits if they should travel overseas or if this nation should ever return to policies founded upon the rules of law & order. - mpg - for more on this issue see the articles and comment shown below....posted 12-22-12

America in Pakistan: Postcard from Hell
A quote...."The war we’re at is the undeclared war that began, for all practical purposes, on September 11, 2001. It is the war on terrorism. It is a war on an abstraction, a tactic, an idea that can be embodied by anyone or everyone or no one. We are waging war on terrorism even as we embody terrorism. No wonder we seem sometimes to be at war with ourselves, and have been for most of the 21st century. “We have now been at war for well over a decade,” the president said in a statement so simple and broad as to include all the devastation we’ve wrought in Iraq and Afghanistan to so little useful effect, right down to the latest drone strike against some person we decided fits today’s enemy combatant profile."

Compare it to the September 2012 joint investigation by Stanford Law School and the New York University School of Law, Living Under Drones,  which concluded that only 2% of those incinerated by a Hellfire missile were [unproven, secretly-accused, by fiat determination, without any evidence given, or a public trial, so-called] “terrorists.” Many were victims of the dreaded “double tap” - the second strike that invariably kills scores of civilian onlookers and rescue workers." - Source: RT - also posted at BeforeItsNews

Grenada made an unlikely target of U.S. military might. Its main product was not oil but nutmeg. Its naval fleet consisted of about 10 fishing trawlers. Grenada’s population of 110,000 was smaller than Peoria, Illinois. At the time of the invasion, there was not a single stoplight in the entire country.

America on Fire - posted at ICH
A quote...."A bunch of billionaires are working hammer and tong with their bottomless pockets, their hired Congressional stooges, their idolaters in the press, and all those useful idiots who hate government but love Medicare and always vote, to destroy Social Security and Medicare because government programs that actually work really well are the enemy, and must be scourged. - At the forefront of this crusade is the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, which has already spent a billion dollars trying to convince Congress to come together on a "Grand Bargain" that eviscerates the social safety net represented by Social Security and Medicare, which are only the two most successful and important government programs besides the GI Bill."

IMF Pushes Plan to Plunder Global Wealth
A quote...."A controversial report released this month by the International Monetary Fund outlines schemes to have big-spending governments with out-of-control debts plunder humanity’s wealth using a mix of much higher taxes and outright confiscation. The goal: Prop up Big Government. Because people and their assets are generally mobile, the radical IMF document, dubbed “Taxing Times,” also proposes measures to prevent them from escaping before they can be fleeced. Of course, the real problems — debt-based fiat currency, lawless bank bailouts, and a cartel-run monetary system — are virtually ignored." - Source:  TheNewAmerican

Architect of Japanese Quantitative Easing Policy Says QE Harms the Economy In the Long-Run …
A quote...."Initially, long-term interest rates fall much more than they would in a country without such a policy, which means the subsequent economic recovery comes sooner (t1). But as the economy picks up, long-term rates rise sharply as local bond market participants fear the central bank will have to mop up all the excess reserves by unloading its holdings of long-term bonds. -- Demand then falls in interest rate sensitive sectors such as automobiles and housing, causing the economy to slow and forcing the central bank to relax its policy stance. The economy heads towards recovery again, but as market participants refocus on the possibility of the central bank absorbing excess reserves, long-term rates surge in a repetitive cycle I have dubbed the QE “trap"."

A quote...."Why do banks borrow in the unregulated, shadow system instead of conducting their business in the light of day where regulators can check the quality of the underlying collateral, oversee the various transactions on public trading platforms, and make sure that capital requirements are maintained? -- It’s because the banks want to deploy all their capital, leverage up to their eyeballs and play fast-and-loose with the rules. Here’s what the New York Fed has to say on the topic...."

“One clear motivation for intermediation outside of the traditional banking system is for private actors to evade regulation [rules on segregated client accounts, minimum capital requirements and limits on leverage - mpg] and taxes. The academic literature documents that motivation explains part of the growth and collapse of shadow banking over the past decade…"

Sales per share over the latest four quarters, for example, were just 3.5% higher than in the prior four quarters, and even that rate is unlikely to be sustained. -- That’s because the economy itself, at least in 2014, is unlikely to grow at a 3.5% rate. -- Economists recently surveyed by the National Association for Business Economics are projecting slower GDP growth. For example: 70% are predicting that next year’s growth rate will be between 2% and 3%, and an additional 19% expect growth to come in between 1% and 2%"

OMG!! - They Never Stop!! -- A quote...."This summer, when Edward Snowden dropped his bombshell about PRISM, the NSA's vast Internet spying program, the House had recently passed a bill called the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA). Widely criticized by privacy advocates, CISPA aimed to beef up US cybersecurity by giving tech companies the legal freedom to share even more cyber information with the US government—including the content of Americans' emails, with personal information intact. CISPA supporters, among them big US companies such as Verizon and Comcast, spent 140 times more money on lobbying for the bill than its opponents, according to the Sunlight Foundation. But after Snowden's leaks, public panic over how and why the government uses personal information effectively killed the bill.

The Libyan Puzzle in the Scramble for Africa
Must Read - A quote...."Before delving into the demise of Libya, it is necessary to understand neo-imperialisms’ ambitions for Africa; its goal is the subjection of Africa into its orbit in order to serve as a critical lynchpin in the establishment of a unipolar world order (including ousting potential Chinese competition). The unipolar world order is the creating of a single center of global economic, political, and military power coupled with the control of international trade and the distribution of resources as is admittedly the agenda noted by Dr. Carroll Quigley in his “Tragedy and Hope” among various other publications from western corporate-financier think tanks ranging from the Council on Foreign Relations to the Brookings Institute. Russian President Vladimir Putin has also spoken of hegemonic ambitions on the part of the west to establish a unipolar order at a 2007 Munich conference.

The Lost Story of the American Revolution
Special Note - A quote...."....it is the divide that played out throughout the period of the Confederation, to the drafting and ratification of the Constitution, and through the first half of the nineteenth century – finally culminating in complete victory for one side...."

"On one side, the revolutionaries consisted of true federalists (wrongly labeled “anti-federalists”) – those who looked to independence from England as a means to independence for each of the several states.  It is this group that Jensen refers to as the more radical throughout the book and it is this group that aligned more with the idea of self-government (or state sovereignty).  Jensen places Thomson in this camp – just as he does Sam Adams, to whom Thomson is favorably compared."

"On the other side were the nationalists (popularly, but incorrectly, labeled “federalists”) – those that wanted a strong, coercive central government.  They wanted independence from England because they wanted to keep the fruits of coercive central government to accrue to themselves.  This group ultimately prevailed – through incremental steps such as the Constitution, larger steps such as Lincoln’s war, and ultimately at the turn of the twentieth century with empire, central banking and war as key foundations."
