Ten Years After the Patriot Act, a Look at Three of the Most Dangerous Provisions Affecting Ordinary Americans
A quote...."Ten years ago today, in the name of protecting national security and guarding against terrorism, President George W. Bush signed into law some of the most sweeping changes to search and surveillance law in modern American history. Unfortunately known as the USA PATRIOT Act, many of its provisions incorporate decidedly unpatriotic principles barred by the First and Fourth Amendments of the Constitution. Provisions of the PATRIOT Act have been used to target innocent Americans and are widely used in investigations that have nothing to do with national security."

Peter Schiff On Occupy Wall Street: "They Aren't Protesting Capitalism, They Are Protesting A LACK Of Capitalism" -- Video - Alt - (YuTb - 2min50sec - Oct 11, 2011) - Source:  myebay4u -- A quote...."China gives communism a good name and we give capitalism a bad name." -- Schiff nails it.  Here's the clip of Captain Midnight he references.  We've been making the same point since the protests began."

People should keep in mind, unlike constitutional Democracy (assuming the constitution is adhered too) and free-markets, (assuming they're free) which are inherently good, capitalism is an "ism", and like most "isms" it has inherent, self-reinforcing instabilities which can, and do, end very badly.  Like nuclear fission it's quite dangerous and generates various types of economic waste, but if it's kept strictly controlled by a series of simple rules, Glass-Steagall is one example, it can also generate enormous amounts of economic power.

What we are experiencing however isn't even a form of capitalism (state, klepto, crony, monopoly, oligarchic, etc.).  What we are currently experiencing is something, much, much, worse....we're experiencing the final stages of Banksterism. 

A system of unbridled ever increasing financialization of all the aspects of a society, coupled with the unlimited ever increasing production of credit/debt at will by a consortium of private banks.  A system that results in massive market distortions, (0.6 to 1.5 quadrillion in derivatives and counting is just one example of many) continued, illegal, murderous wars, (they can print at will to "pay" for them), the utter corruption of "our" elected officials (they can print at will to bribe or buy them) a continued fall in the standard of living for the 99%, along with a corresponding fall in the value of the currency (inflation) and the destruction of everyone's savings.

Possibly the worst of all economic systems besides absolute communism. - mpg

The Assault On Libya....

Competent Leaders?  Not After This Example!
10-27-11
mpg

Mahmoud Jibril and Qaddafi’s Wealth Redistribution Project
A quote...."Colonel Muammar Qaddafi symbolizes many things to many different people around the world. Love or hate the Libyan leader, under his rule Libya transformed from one of the poorest countries on the face of the planet into the country with the highest living standards in Africa. In the words of Professor Henri Habibi...."


"Qaddafi had many grand plans. Many of them were of a pan-African nature. This included the formation of a United States of Africa."

Website Editor's Note:  Regarding Qaddafi, this website editor was basically indifferent to the subject of Muammar Qaddafi, knew almost nothing about him,(and still don't), and hardly paid any attention to Libya except during the last year.  He was a little zany, a little unpredictable, at least as viewed from this side of the Atlantic, and like many dictators from that part of the world, (many Jamahiriya practicing Libyans would disagree with the term 'dictator'), he was extremely ruthless, although he was less ruthless than most, and certainly much less ruthless than as portrayed by the West's infotainment mass-media-complex.  Their portrayal of him was simply a racist, bigoted, stereo-typical, denigrating, caricature of the man. It's truly a wonder they simply didn't just call him a sand-nigger and be done with it.

But of course he didn't help set-up and murder three thousand of his own citizens as members of our government did, nor did he invade or subvert numerous other countries (over one hundred and counting by some estimates) on false pretexts and in one particular egregious case of vicious, unchecked, militarism, that of Iraq, help murder over a million people while deliberately destroying that country's, cultural, structural, economic, educational and political systems.  So naturally....he just had to be brutally murdered.

But let's put all of that aside, many people in the third world have repeatedly cried out for competent leaders, leaders who would devote themselves to the betterment of the people's welfare in their respective countries.  Qaddafi's list of accomplishments, and the improvement to the standard of living for Libya's people under his watch, is probably only second to that of China's meteoric rise as an industrial power.

And for him to wind up the way he did, after what he did, at the hands of the Western powers, should be a salutary lesson for EVERYONE world wide.  If the people of the world allow something like this to stand, and continue to do "business" with the US-NRE, Israel, Britain and France, they need never, ever, bother wishing for better, more competent leaders, or trying to vote such leaders into office, because they're not going to get them.  Not after this example. Not if this is allowed to stand. Not ever.  - mpg

Destroying Libya, Lynching Gaddafi – Empire’s war on Africa to uphold unipolar world
Must Read - Quote of the Day...."On February 15th an armed & brutal rebellion arised in the city of Benghazi. Only six days later, libyan justice minister Mustafa Abdul-Jalil resigned to set up his own government. Later on February 27th he set up the Transitional National Council, and on March 5th the TNC declared itself as the „sole representative of all Libya“ with – of course – Mustafa Abdul-Jalil as its head. France & Britain didnt need more than a few days to recognize them as the legitimate government of Libya. The west’s democracy promotion in other regions only counts when everything has been prepared to be able to set up a „democratic leader“, meaning a western puppet president through "democratic elections“. Not only do the United States directly fund opposition movements as the NTC in Libya, the Green Movement in Iran, the venezuelan oligarchy opposed to Chavez etc but the leading figures of those movements have always had a history that ties them closely to the corporate or political body of empire."

Libya Updates
One commentator wrote...."Take Responsibility -- For those who are looking for Libyans to win a single-handed victory against the most powerful military alliance on earth, while they fight with their hands and feet tied, without water nor food, nor adequate medical supplies. And did so for 8 months, something those soldiers attacking them would not be able to do for more than a few days or weeks at best. For you, shame on you. One of The Third Universal Theory premises is that no one can represent you: no one can die for you. If you think the battle is military, then go out there, go into Africa, anywhere, and fight. Do not call on others to fight if you are not willing and doing so yourself." -- *Christella Bernardene Krebs*

Gaddafi loyalists fight on as Libya tries to unite
A quote...."BANI WALID, Libya (Reuters) - The war is not yet over for Libya's new rulers in the desert town of Bani Walid where Gaddafi loyalists vow to fight on for their fallen leader and other residents are angry over violence and looting. -- Enraged by what they see as acts of retribution by forces loyal to Libya's new government, tribesmen say their men are already trying to regroup into a new insurgency movement in and around the strategic desert town south of the capital, Tripoli."

If the Libyan war was about saving lives, it was a catastrophic failure
A quote...."As the reality of what western media have hailed as Libya's "liberation" becomes clearer, however, the butchering of Gaddafi has been revealed as only a reflection of a much bigger picture. On Tuesday, Human Rights Watch reported the discovery of 53 bodies, military and civilian, in Gaddafi's last stronghold of Sirte, apparently executed – with their hands tied – by former rebel militia. -- Its investigator in Libya, Peter Bouckaert, told me yesterday that more bodies are continuing to be discovered in Sirte, where evidence suggests about 500 people, civilians and fighters, have been killed in the last 10 days alone by shooting, shelling and Nato bombing. -- That has followed a two month-long siege and indiscriminate bombardment of a city of 100,000 which has been reduced to a Grozny-like state of destruction by newly triumphant rebel troops with Nato air and special-forces support. -- And these massacre sites are only the latest of many such discoveries."

Qatar admits it had boots on ground in Libya
A quote...."26 Oct 2011 Qatar revealed for the first time Wednesday that hundreds of its soldiers had fought alongside Libyans in their battle to topple Moammar Gadhafi. "We were among them and the numbers of Qataris on ground were hundreds in every region," said Qatari chief of staff Maj. Gen. Hamad bin Ali al-Atiya. The announcement marks the first time that Qatar has acknowledged it had military boots on the ground in Libya. Previously the gas-rich country said it had only lent the support of its air force to NATO-led operations to protect civilians during the eight-month uprising coup."

"Under no circumstances could Gaddafi be allowed to live long enough to testify in an open court or to give press interviews.

Gaddafi could not be allowed to call into doubt the official propaganda of "protecting the rebels." -- The United States is sending a message: accept slavery to a private central bank or be destroyed. This "clash of civilizations" is a war between banking systems. Those who refuse to make obeisance to the dollar and submit to the rule of the bankers will be destroyed. No quarter will be given.

Billions Lost in Secret Federal Reserve Funding of Iraq War

To all policyholders, insureds, and servicers:
It was really nice to have "Mark to Fantasy", to have Moody's, Fitch and S&P rate all those toxic assets as triple "A", to construct the MERS system so Wall Street Street could have all those fake-mortgages, hidden, washed, bundled, tranched, and sold as investment grade MBS's....but occasionally, every once in awhile, reality rudely intrudes. 

Within a year it's highly doubtful there will be any title insurers remaining in the business, or if they're still a few left alive, no one will be able to afford their rates. 

It's why old timers constantly state there's "no free lunch", It's like squeezing a balloon, the behavior we have witnessed in the financial industry has led to massive amounts of faux-money/credit/leverage/hot-air/financial-lies being pumped into the balloon, if you squeeze the balloon in one place in an attempt to prevent it from popping, or transfer the hot air to some other part of the balloon, all those lies, risk, lack of real assets, or debt, will simply bulge out and be revealed somewhere else in the financial system. It's inevitable that the balloon will pop. - mpg

New Obama Foreclosure Plan Shifts Fraud Liability From Wall Street To Taxpayers - This is an example.
A quote...."WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration is introducing a new program on Monday designed to lower monthly mortgage payments for more troubled homeowners. -- But a key new condition in the plan would shift the financial liability for refinanced loans from Wall Street banks to the American taxpayer. And by focusing on lower payments, the program does not confront what housing experts view as the core problem in the foreclosure crisis -- borrower debt that exceeds the value of one's home." - Source:  HuffPo

Brazil is not considering it," Mantega told reporters in Brasilia. "They have to find solutions to the European problems within Europe."

In fact, it could reasonably be claimed that this form of inequality is part of the design of the American founding -- indeed, an integral part of it. -- Income inequality has worsened over the past several years and is at its highest level since the Great Depression.  This is not, however, a new trend. Income inequality has been growing at rapid rates for three decades." - also posted at ICH

Sixteen Things Libya Will Never See Again
Here's the first five....

1. There is no electricity bill in Libya; electricity is free for all its citizens.
2. There is no interest on loans, banks in Libya are state-owned and loans given to all its citizens at zero percent interest by law.
3. Having a home considered a human right in Libya.
4. All newlyweds in Libya receive $60,000 dinar (U.S.$50,000) by the government to buy their first apartment so to help start up the family.
5. Education and medical treatments are free in Libya. Before Gaddafi only 25 percent of Libyans were literate. Today, the figure is 83 percent. -- also posted at GlobalRsrch & PoorRichardsBlog

The shock doctrine: The unwritten Libya chapter
Quote of the Day...."Shortly before committing suicide in 1961, the American author Ernest Hemingway wrote about his electroshock therapy. "Well, what is the sense of ruining my head and erasing my memory, which is my capital, and putting me out of business? It was a brilliant cure but we lost the patient." -- This line was quoted by Naomi Klein in The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism. Klein's book was a major contribution to our understanding of how western countries, led by the US, facilitated or took advantage of major disasters to attain domination over vulnerable and politically disjointed countries around the world. In the chapter entitled, "Erasing Iraq: In Search for a ‘Model' for the Middle East," Klein describes the attempt at destroying and then resurrecting the country to fit the mould sought by those who administered its fall." - also posted at Uruknet

Libya: The Actual War Begins Now!
A quote...."The people I had hoped most to be able to find upon returning to Libya were eight students from Fatah University (now renamed Tripoli University) who became my friends during three months in Libya this summer.  They had all been strongly opposed to what NATO was doing to their country (NATO bombs destroyed some classrooms at the University during final exams in late May) and I was very keen to sit with them again if possible since the August 23rd fall of Tripoli when most of them scattered given the uncertainties of what would happen and we lost contact."

City of the Living Dead
Must Read - A quote...."Anyone covering Capitol Hill knows that congressional hearings can be deadly — deadly boring and deadly predictable. -- But when a reported Iraq war veteran exploded into a House Armed Services Committee hearing this month as Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta was reading his prepared remarks, for a split second it was like a test to see if someone blinked. Better yet, it was a test to see if anyone was human enough to respond. -- One person reportedly burst out laughing, right after the veteran, who was screaming “We murdered people! I saw what we did to people!” was dragged from the room by security. But the rest of the chamber was silent, faces turned stoically forward. The vet was followed by two silver-haired antiwar women decrying the war. They were also manhandled out of the room in short order. Seven people altogether that day were arrested for interrupting the proceedings — one charging that the veteran had been laughed at — while a number of others outside in the hallway chanted, “We are the 99 percent, and we don’t support these wars!”"

The Anglo-Euro-Banks Credibility Crisis Deepens....

The Federal Reserve Bank is a Moral Hazard to the Nation and the World
A quote...."We can complain about how the US Government is too big and bloated. We can get upset all we want about how Washington DC is the richest city in the nation. We can complain about which alphabet soup agencies are infringing on people's rights. We can worry all we want about the economy, inflation and dollar devaluation. We can complain about the police state being brutal on the population. We can get upset all we want about these undeclared wars and the empire we have abroad. We can debate about social security. We can moan all about the welfare state, the national debt and deficit spending. The truth is these are all the tentacles of the monster. We have to identify the beast of which it really is. We have to come to terms of its negative effects on our national character. This institution has robbed the nation of more than its wealth. It has robbed the people of its ruggedness; it is the source of the moral rot permeating our society today. Like a cancer spreading far and wide from the corporate world, from Main Street to Wall Street. All the way from high places in government down to the lowly bureaucrat, its influence knows no limits. Its influence has metastasized everywhere. "

Totally Corrupt America
A quote...."The financial crisis, which is very much still with us, did not result from accident or miscalculation; neither did it result because of a flaw in Alan Greenspan’s theory, as he told Congress when a feeble effort was made to hold him accountable.   It was the intentional result of people motivated by short-term profits who wanted to get theirs and get out. -- As "Reckless Endangerment" shows, fraud characterized every stage of the process from the fraudulent borrower incomes and credit scores that mortgage issuers gave to unqualified buyers, through the securitization of the mortgages and their triple-A investment grade ratings by the rating agencies (Standard & Poor’s especially, but also Moody’s and Fitch) to the investment banks that sold what the banks knew was junk to investors around the world as investment grade securities.  Indeed, Goldman Sachs was simultaneously betting against the mortgage derivatives that it was selling to clients."

Muammar Gadafi was first captured confirms that another rebel fighter, whose identity is unknown, sodomized the former leader as he was being dragged from the drainpipe where he had taken cover. -- Welcome folks, to the New Roman Empire. -- Told you folks, open recognition of homo-sexual marriage, open homo-sexuality in the US-NRE's military, Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, and all the sado-torture "black-sites" across the world, the churches, the prisons, (yes, we're number one in the world and dwarf everyone per capita) child abuse (yes, we're number one among industrialized countries in that too) and on and on.  America is DISGUSTING!!  ALL these wars to spread compound-interest-debt-slavery on behalf of the Banksters and homosexuality for all.  To all the men and woman (one third of whom are raped) in the US-NRE's military.....nice job, way to go, keep up the good work, be all that you can be, keep on bended knee for the Banksters. - mpg

The War in Libya is Still a Failure - And becoming more so by the secand! - mpg
Second Quote of the Day...."The U.S. and our allies attacked a government that had done nothing to endanger international peace and security. It posed no threat at all to any NATO nation. No Western security interests were served by this war, and some may have been harmed as a result. Successfully deposing Gadhafi is bound to encourage future administrations to take similar risks. The U.S. and our allies may not always be so lucky in targeting such an unusually weak, isolated state."  --  "Equally troubling from an American perspective is the ease with which the current administration launched a war against a government that had abandoned its former hostility, renounced unconventional weapons and terrorism, and provided some degree of security cooperation to the U.S. Pariah states now have no incentive to negotiate similar deals with the U.S. and its allies, and they have clear incentives to acquire the means of deterring a future intervention. This reduces diplomatic and political options in coping with these states in the future and makes conflicts with some of them more likely. "

No one.

By the way, to any misbegotten piece of human crap that supported this outrage, here's a heads-up for you.   Everyone was well aware, from day ONE, back in March, that most of the NTC are al-CIA'da and Saudi supported Wahhabists.  Any deaths that result from this particular, additional, round of US-NRE support for these sorts of groups, also known as pseudo-gangs, any "terrorism" that might result from the billions of dollars worth of arms given to the the NTC, or any use of those "missing" surface to air missiles, anywhere on the planet, or in Africa, or in Europe by these pseudo-gangs, or their off-shoots....is the direct responsibility and fault of every piece of garbage that supported this operation.  You knowingly supported this.  YOU ARE AT FAULT,  GOT IT! -- YOU ARE A TERRORIST, GOT IT! - And it doesn't matter if it's a year from now, or two years from now, or ten when the inevitable attack occurs. - mpg

2. The 2011 NIE, which is a consensus of all 16 UN Intelligence agencies (who no doubt have fully investigated the "evidnce" of nuclear triggers) has reached the same conclusion as the 2007 NIE - that Iran is not producing or even pursuing nukes.
3. There is no evidence Iran had anything to do with the bombings in Buenos Aires.
4. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...
5. Goldberg Holds holder and Mueller up as paragons of intergrity just as Holder's complicity in Fast and Furious was exposed.
6. The absrud assassination plot came on the heels not only of Holder's crinminality, but Iran's offer to resuscitate the uranium swap deal.  Obama cannot afford to make peace with Iran during his campaing for re-election.
