32 Questions That All Americans Must Answer
A quote...."Ron Paul, in his historic farewell speech to Congress this week, asked 32 thought-provoking questions addressed to his fellow Americans. - It's very clear upon examination of these questions that something is very wrong with our government.  Below are his questions...." - also posted at BLN - The first ten....
  1. Why are sick people who use medical marijuana put in prison?
  2. Why does the federal government restrict the drinking of raw milk?
  3. Why can’t Americans manufacturer rope and other products from hemp?
  4. Why are Americans not allowed to use gold and silver as legal tender as mandated by the Constitution?
  5. Why is Germany concerned enough to consider repatriating their gold held by the FED for her in New York? Is it that the trust in the U.S. and dollar supremacy beginning to wane?
  6. Why do our political leaders believe it’s unnecessary to thoroughly audit our own gold?
  7. Why can’t Americans decide which type of light bulbs they can buy?
  8. Why is the TSA permitted to abuse the rights of any American traveling by air?
  9. Why should there be mandatory sentences – even up to life for crimes without victims – as our drug laws require?
  10. Why have we allowed the federal government to regulate commodes in our homes?
Israel and the U.S. CREATED Hamas, Hezbollah and Al Qaeda
Special Historical Note - It's true, later on Hamas and Hezbollah told the Israelis and the US-NRE to go stuff themselves.  al-CIA'da still works for the US-NRE, Israelis and the Saudi Royals....for now. - mpg -- A quote...."We’ve extensively documented that the U.S. and Israel created Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups in an attempt to fight other enemies. - Larry Johnson – a counterterrorism official at the U.S. State Department – says:
"The Israelis are their own worst enemies when it comes to fighting terrorism. They are like a guy who sets fire to his hair and then tries to put it out by hitting it with a hammer. They do more to incite and sustain terrorism than curb it."
"As one example, Israel helped create Hamas." - See related essays and weblists shown below....

More On Israel's Gaza Slaughter of November 2012....

The Land Grabber Strike Again, by Rehmat
A quote...."I don’t travel. If I did, I probably wouldn’t visit Israel. I remember how it was in 1948 when Israel was being established and all my Jewish friends were ecstatic. I was not. I said: What are we doing? We are establishing ourselves in a ghetto, in a small corner of a vast Muslim sea. The Muslims will never forget nor forgive. And Israel, as long as it exists, will be embattled. I was laughed at, but I was right. I can’t help but feel that the Jews didn’t really have the right to appropriate a territory only because 2000 years ago, people they consider their ancestors, were living there. History moves on and you can’t really turn it back.”  — Jewish writer Isaac Asimov

On the Eve: Last Thoughts Before the Latest Invasion of Gaza
A quote...."Hell is coming. Hell is near. Thousands upon thousands of troops are massing for the ground invasion of a small patch of land crammed full with human beings trapped without any defense against the steel that will destroy them. Several children have already died in the preliminaries. Many, many more will die when the real feast of death begins...."

Stop pretending the US is an uninvolved, helpless party in the Israeli assault on Gaza
A quote...."A central premise of US media coverage of the Israeli attack on Gaza - beyond the claim that Israel is justifiably "defending itself" - is that this is some endless conflict between two foreign entitles, and Americans can simply sit by helplessly and lament the tragedy of it all. The reality is precisely the opposite: Israeli aggression is possible only because of direct, affirmative, unstinting US diplomatic, financial and military support for Israel and everything it does. This self-flattering depiction of the US as uninvolved, neutral party is the worst media fiction since TV news personalities covered the Arab Spring by pretending that the US is and long has been on the side of the heroic democratic protesters, rather than the key force that spent decades propping up the tyrannies they were fighting. " - also posted at ICH & PressTV

Media Cover for Israeli Crimes in Gaza
A quote...."The pattern playing out in Gaza is one Israel followed many times before. Provocations target adversaries. Multiple ones usually occur before targets respond. - Blame the victim follows. Israeli aggression is called self-defense. Legitimate defense is called terrorism. Media scoundrels support Israel in lockstep. It plays out the same way every time. - Facts on the ground are ignored, sanitized, suppressed, and/or distorted. Readers and viewers get manipulated managed news misinformation."

Targeting Civilians: Israel's Specialty
A quote...." November 17, 2012 "Information Clearing House" -   Bullies choose easy adversaries to pummel. Equal fights are shunned. It's the same in schoolyards or battlefields. - America and Israel operate this way. They avoid foes able to give as much as they take. Rogue governments never say they're sorry. - During Cast Lead in January 2009, Professor Jeremy Salt wrote "A Message to the brave Israeli Airmen." His comments apply to what's now ongoing."
Gaza is this century's Warsaw Ghetto.  It's this planet's largest open air prison, stuffed with 1.6 million civilians with the highest population density in the world. And what the Israelis are doing is like shooting fish in a barrel.  They are blatant, craven cowards without a shred of moral decency.  --  Against anyone who could defend themselves they've run away, (as they did in Lebanon), or beg for mercy, (whenever they're caught conducting their illegal activities) but against mostly unarmed civilians they slaughter with glee. It's is so very typical, and is such a historical cliche and proof of their collective lack of moral fiber.  --  Now armed with every form of sophisticated military equipment they could possibly steal from the American people, the world's newest little lordlings reign supreme over their Gaza open air prison without a care in the world.  What a sickening display of mean spirited cowardice.  It fulfills every caricature libeled against these creeps down through the ages.  It's just simply disgusting. - mpg

Petraeus Claims He Consistently Said Benghazi Attack Was Work of Terrorists
A quote..."The controversy over when the Obama administration knew it was the work of terrorist groups and when they decided to tell the American people will continue far beyond this initial Petraeus testimony. -- The issue has become a political football with Republicans using it to trip up the Obama administration and block potential nominees like UN envoy Susan Rice, who is thought to be considered for the position of Secretary of State in Obama’s second term and who has been accused of giving inaccurate public accounts of the incident."

Flirtation is the Least of their Crimes - posted at ICH
A quote...."November 17, 2012 "Information Clearing House" - - One man is at the center of a story you can’t avoid in the media, since last Friday. General David Petraeus, architect of the U.S. “surge” in Iraq, pulled in to “save” Afghanistan, then bumped over to the CIA last year, was forced to resign because the FBI, we are told, found out about an affair he was having with a fawning biographer."

Attorneys: Obama’s ‘secret’ cyber security law may allow ‘military deployment within the U.S.’

Talk of secession proves America still has a pulse
Second Quote of the Day....."Out of nowhere people in a number of states now have petitions up on the White House’s web page demanding that their states secede from the union.  The petitions are purely symbolic and have no power other than to force Barry Soetoro (or some White House flunky) to have an uncomfortable moment on paper and acknowledge that a good number of people are sick of the President and the fascist dystopia he’s helping ram down our throats.  The machine has quickly responded in its typical way, with short, reactionary columns from newspaper writers flicking limp wrists at secession supporters and claiming that they’re either stupid rednecks, bad Americans, or racists… filling a Google News search of the subject with enough pro-Barry, pro-government propaganda to let casual viewers know what the established, PC (and thus acceptable) opinion on the matter is."

Kyle Bass: Fallacies Such As MMT Are "Leading The Sheep To Slaughter" And "We Believe War Is Inevitable"
Quote of the Day...."Central bankers are feverishly attempting to create their own new world: a utopia in which debts are never restructured, and there are no consequences for fiscal profligacy, i.e. no atonement for prior sins. They have created Potemkin villages on a Jurassic scale. The sum total of the volatility they are attempting to suppress will be less than the eventual volatility encountered when their schemes stop working. Most refer to comments like this as heresy against the orthodoxy of economic thought. We have a hard time understanding how the current situation ends any way other than a massive loss of wealth and purchasing power through default, inflation or both."

American Immorality Is At A Peak
Quote of the Day...."While evil continues to envelop America, the public is focused on CIA director General Petraeus’ resignation. The FBI spied on him and found that he was having an affair with his biographer, a woman 20 years younger than his 60 years.  --  What is it with Americans and sex? Why is an illicit affair the ONLY reason for removing someone from political office? -- Why is it that government officials, presidents and vice presidents included, can violate US statutory law and torture people, spy on Americans without the necessary warrants, murder US citizens without due process, confine US citizens to dungeons for life without evidence and due process of law, start multi-trillion dollar wars on the basis of contrived allegations that have no basis in fact, murder civilians in seven countries, overthrow legitimate governments, and all of these massive crimes against humanity can be accepted as long as no one in Washington gets any sex out of it? Is this feminism’s contribution to American morality?" - bold by website editor

The Second Election of Barack Obama: A Balance Sheet for the Laboring Class and their Allies
A quote...."Barack Obama remains President of the United States of America, the office that accords the greatest power to a single individual in known human history. Although Obama's re-election represents a victory over the vulture capitalist, Mitt Romney, who likes to fire people, the historical outcome nevertheless bodes ill for the laboring class and its allies in their ongoing struggle against the buyers of labor, the capitalist class. Barack Obama, who was heralded as the champion of "hope and change" in 2008, and subsequently and without much fanfare continued and extended the legacy of the maligned George W. Bush in nearly every respect, presented himself along with a vast array of media outlets and celebrities, from ABC to Jay Z, as the candidate for "forward" progress in 2012. In this series, special analyst Jonathan Munis and I will examine the prospects for the vast majority, the workers and their allies, under this "forward" motion promised by a second Obama administration."

Obama’s Presidency Through Palestinian Eyes
A quote...."Many people, including large percentage of the American people, are under the illusion that the President really has the power to change things. It appears that a president may have the power to take his country to war, to create jobs, to improvise and improve medical care plans, or to change tax laws or any other law, in that matter. Such matters are determined by a power elite representing the very rich and very influential 1% of the population, who owns, controls and manipulates the economic, political, industrial, and social structures of the country. The President is just an employee, who is appointed in a theatrical game of fake democratic election, in order to carry the plans of this power elite."

Enemy inside the gates: Syria’s main foe is ‘foreign-sponsored terrorists’
A quote...."Today, Western countries are implementing the primitive tool of ‘state-sponsored terrorism’ to influence the internal situation in foreign countries, argues Pavel Zolotarev, deputy director of the Institute for US and Canada Studies at the Russian Academy of Sciences. -- Citing the situation in Syria, which has been engaged in a protracted conflict between a rebel opposition and pro-government forces, Zolotarev said that President Assad is not involved in what could be considered a “normal” civil war. Rather, the Syrian president is primarily fighting against foreign terrorists using foreign weapons, he told RT in a telephone interview."

The Army brass and to a lesser extent the Navy brass have in recent years been largely making the decisions about the wars and potential wars. I have argued, for example, since Bush 2 and his Neo-Con conspirators began strangling Iran that the military brass has been quietly opposing such a vast war that could produce a global implosion, that this has continued for the most part in opposition to the Obama conspirators and Israelis conspirators who keep tightening the nooses around Iran."

Contains Video - Alt - A quote...."With just 5 days needed for the Texas secession petition to surpass 100,000 signatories, all is not well with the Union.....actually, not only are things not well with the Union, things are getting worse by the minute, as American society splinters into diametrical opposites to a degree not seen in decades, a process which in itself virtually assures there will be no cliff compromise before the opportunity cost of ending the stand off becomes far too great. --  And with the option of the Mr. Chairman "getting to work" to fix things, one wonders - is even the market a motivating enough factor given a 20, 30 or even 50% drop in the rearview mirror: after all as the Fed has demonstrated, there is no need for a fiscal compromise to get the S&P to just shy of all time highs. --  Certainly, even America's politicians are very much aware of this by now (of course, this assumes that Bernanke is still in charge of the market: something we have claimed for two months is very much in question). -- Regardless, with the topic of secession on everybody's lips, here is what none other than Ron Paul has said about this suddenly very volatile issue."

Scalia vs. Thomas Jefferson on secession
Related Article - A quote...."Contemporary opinion, including that of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, says a state’s right to secede died with the hundreds of thousands of bloodied victims of the Civil War and that the sentiment behind the dozens of petitions on the White House website seeking permission for most of the 50 individual governments to leave the union will be fruitless. -- But historians would note that Thomas Jefferson, a “pole star among political philosophers because he based his politics on the eternal, self-evident, fundamental truths that all men are created free and equal and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inherent and inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” believed states have a right to leave the U.S."

Taxpayers will now give her $15,000 to make up for it."

Blind Obedience to Leaders
A quote..."We blame the politicians, we blame this group or that group. We have taken ourself out of the equation. We are a nation of finger pointers. That will solve our problems right? Wrong! -- Fear plays a huge role in this mind set. Fear of personal responsibility, fear of retaliation, fear of being socially ostracized, just to name a few. We want a better world without getting our hands dirty, without standing out. A question to the apathetic, ignorant masses, how do you plan on doing that? Go along to get along, just do your “duty” and vote. Just do your “duty” and support endless wars."

James Turk on the Central Bank Gold Heist and Bundesbank Accounting and Gold Shenanigans!
RTCAVideo - Alt - (RTCAYuTb - 2min51sec - Nov 7, 2012) - Source:  CapitalAccount -- A quote...."A recent public debate has centered around the safety of Germany's gold deposits outside of the country. Recently a member of the Bundesbank's executive board, Dr. Andreas Dombret, addressed this issue a speech. According to the text, Dr. Dombret said this discussion is driven by "irrational fears," while acknowledging "gold is important." James Turk, chairman and founder of Gold Money, says the question of "where the Bundesbank's gold is" remains relevant and argues Germany should repatriate this gold given that the precious metal is one of the "pillars of a country's sovereignty." Mr. Turk goes on to explain in detail how a central bank's gold, specifically the Bundesbank's, isn't really accounted for in a way that conforms with generally accepted accounting principles."

This is something to think about.’" - bold by website editor - Well....so much for Syria and THAN Iran.  Looks like the US-NRE's and the Saudi Royals' al-CIA'da mercenaries are going to have to make a detour to Turkey first....on their way to Iran. - mpg

Most in US Won't Be Able to Escape 'Fiscal Cliff'
A quote....""Fiscal Cliff" is just another name for "Austerity." And the only reason there is a crisis at all is the high costs of Wall Street bailouts and military adventurism.
