‘Hypocritical agenda’: EU has only austerity to offer Kiev
A quote...."William Engdahl: As I have said before and written in verbal interviews, this is not being orchestrated by the people of Ukraine. I have reports from Ukrainian ordinary citizens that I have been in contact with over the weekend. - The students and the unemployed, people who are just out and out and alcoholics and so on, are being paid something like 20-30 euros a day by who knows who, we can only speculate, to come in to Kiev and make these huge demonstrations to make a show of force. - And then the fact that Victoria Nuland of all people, one of the most outrageous neoconservatives of the Bush era, the former US ambassador to NATO, comes and encourages the Ukrainian people to demonstrate for freedom and join the European Union, this is hypocrisy."

Azarov: Ukrainian Opposition ignores authorities’ calls for round-table talks

CIA Given Free Hand in Lithuania
A quote..."The issue of a free hand that the Central Intelligence Agency is given in Lithuania hit the media pages for the first time after the revelations about the CIA secret jails on the Lithuanian territory. CIA special flights brought those who were suspected of being affiliated with Al Qaeda into Lithuania in 2002 – 2006. They were tortured by CIA and Lithuanian State Security Department operatives. After the disclosures infiltrated media outlets, the jails were closed and the prisoners were transferred to Guantanamo. The Lithuanian authorities undermine the Amnesty International efforts to establish the truth under the pretext of protecting national state secrets. The Lithuanian state General Prosecutor closed the case in 2011. That’s what the CIA residence in Vilnius wanted: to prevent the leaks of information and any names mentioned, especially those of US agents involved in the operation."

Saudis plan major offensive against Syria
A quote...."Surprise, surprise... The new Israeli-Saudi Alliance has rolled out its response to the hard-fought de-escalation of the Syrian killing fields.

Reflections on the Iranian Nuclear Deal - Did Iran Have to Give Up So Much to Get So Little?
A quote...."The underlying logic for the Iran nuclear negotiations was (and continues to be) altogether preposterous: on one side of the negotiating table sat major nuclear powers who are all in violation of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT), which requires them to have either dismantled or drastically reduced their nuclear arsenal; on the other side, an NPT–compliant country (Iran) that neither possesses nor pursues nuclear weapons—a fact that is testified to both by the U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies. Yet, in an ironically perverse way, the culprits have assumed the role of the police, the prosecutor and the judge, shamelessly persecuting and prosecuting the innocent for no other reason than trying to exercise its NPT-granted right to peaceful nuclear technology."

A quote...."The UN General Assembly has unanimously adopted a nuclear disarmament resolution that includes proposals forwarded by Iran President Hassan Rouhani as head of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). - The resolution, adopted on Thursday, calls on nuclear-power states to make more efforts to scale down and ultimately eliminate all types of nuclear arms." - Source:  PressTV

The Real Terrorists: “Israel’s Kill List”

Swiss scientist maintains Arafat 'likely poisoned'
A quote...."A French report ruling out poisoning in Yasser Arafat's 2004 death has a glaring inconsistency, the co-author of a Swiss probe said on Thursday, sticking by his team's conclusion that the Palestinian leader was likely killed."

The Zionist Criminal Network Behind the Cover-Ups
A quote...."But why, of all places, was the investigation of Jack Ruby assigned to the Civil Rights Division of the FBI? This bizarre assignment indicates who was behind the cover-up of Ruby’s connections to organized crime.  The Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice was the domain of Nicholas Katzenbach, the crypto-Jew Deputy Attorney General who had pushed the lone gunman story on J. Edgar Hoover from the beginning."

Palestinian teenager shot dead by Israeli sniper near Ramallah
A quote...."RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- A Palestinian teenager was shot dead by Israeli soldiers in al-Jalazun refugee camp near Ramallah on Saturday. - Wajih Wajdi al-Ramahi, 14, was shot with live bullets in the back by an Israeli sniper in front of his school. - Al-Ramahi was taken to the hospital, and placed in the ICU until he died."

Lieberman: No chance for deal with Palestinians
A quote...."Israeli foreign minister says Israel, Palestinians are at 'dead end'. Ahead of meeting with US secretary of state, Lieberman stresses Israel must not rely solely on US, should diversify in foreign policy"

This is a US Senator, "advising" Israel to seek alliances elsewhere after hundreds of billions of dollars have been extracted from the American taxpayer and given to just six to seven million pampered, racist, criminals, squatting by the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.  -- Should Israel seek alliances with Saudi Arabia perhaps? With al-Qaeda perhaps?  Well they've had those alliances for over thirty years, maybe the Senator is suggesting China or Russia? -- As long as the American people tolerate AIPAC's complete domination of "their" government, this is what's going to happen. - mpg

Three men fell to ground, writhing in pain from being struck by the “non lethal” ammunition. The other prisoners, most of whom had long been cleared for release, were forced onto the floor with guns pointed at their heads and kept prone on their bellies for the next three hours. -- According to Guantanamo officials, the action was launched to quash a protest by the detainees, who had placed blankets over the surveillance cameras in their cells.

He stole it from ordinary people doing so. - Even Wall Street Journal editors said “few presidents have done more to increase inequality than he has.” - Median household income fell throughout his tenure. It’s 4.2% lower than when he took office. It keeps heading south. - Rich investors profited hugely. Most never had it so good. “Mr. Obama is Chief Economist of Nottingham posing as Robin Hood,” said Journal editors. - He’s waging war on middle America. He’s destroying it on his watch. He’s increasingly leaving the nation’s most disadvantaged on their own." - Source:  SteveLendman

The drop in incomes is the largest (absent the 2012 year-end debacle) since February 2010. Given the disparity, it is hardly surprising that the savigs rate dropped to its lowest since June.

A quote..."As the eurozone debt crisis has steadily widened the divide between Europe’s stronger northern economies and the weaker, more debt-laden economies in the south (with France a kind of no man’s land economy in between), one question is on everyone’s mind: Can Europe’s monetary union – indeed, the European Union itself – survive? -- While the eurozone’s northern members enjoy low borrowing costs and stable growth, its southern members face high borrowing costs, recession, and deep cuts in incomes and social spending. They have also suffered substantial output losses, and have far higher unemployment rates than their northern counterparts. Unemployment in the eurozone as a whole averages about 12%, compared to more than 25% in Spain and Greece (where youth unemployment now stands at 60%). Indeed, while aggregate per capita income in the eurozone remains at 2007 levels, Greece has been pushed back to 2000 levels, and Italy today finds itself somewhere in 1997."

Defeated By The Taliban, Washington Decides To Take On Russia And China
Must Read - A quote...."The several days of organized protests in Ukraine are notable for the relative lack of police violence. Unlike in the US, Canada, Thailand, Greece, and Spain, peaceful protesters have not been beaten, tear gassed, water cannoned, and tasered by Ukrainian police. Unlike in Egypt, Palestine, and Bahrain, Ukrainian protesters have not been fired upon with live ammunition. The restraint of the Ukrainian government and police in the face of provocations has been remarkable. Apparently, Ukrainian police have not been militarized by US Homeland Security. -- What are the Ukrainian protests about? On the surface, the protests don’t make sense. The Ukrainian government made the correct decision to stay out of the EU. Ukraine’s economic interests lie with Russia, not with the EU. This is completely obvious. -- The EU wants Ukraine to join so that Ukraine can be looted, like Latvia, Greece, Spain, Italy, Ireland, and Portugal. The situation is so bad in Greece, for example, that the World Health Organization reports that some Greeks are infecting themselves with HIV in order to receive the 700 euro monthly benefit for the HIV-infected. -- The US wants Ukraine to join so it can become a location for more of Washington’s missile bases against Russia. -- Why would Ukrainians want to be looted?" - Source:  PaulCraigRoberts - also posted at GlobalRsrch & BFP

A good question indeed.  The same could be asked of Amerikans...."Why do they allow a bunch of Banksters to destroy their financial welfare and the financial future of their children??" It appears they do so, as do those in Europe, for empty phrases such as "hope", "change" and of course "freedom and democracy". Millions of dead in the Middle East and dozens of nations and economies already destroyed throughout the world during the last decade alone are still not enough to inform people that these now empty phrases are used as weapons by rapacious parasites, hyenas in human form, to pray on the weak minded and the amoral, uncaring, greedy.  No doubt after their next colossal collective disillusionment these populations will swing back to believing different empty phrases, those usually associated with fascism or communism.... or the worst aspects of both.  People are just plain stupid, they operate on emotion and extremely short term self-interest only and are easily fooled.  It's the way it is.

A comment on Jan Techau, the Henry Kissinger clone from the N.W.O. Carnegie Endowment for International Peace who appeared in this video, and two things he had to say. 

At one point Mr. Techau stated that the EU doesn't "enforce" it's decisions. (22min11sec) REALLY! Tell that to Libya and Syria! (And yes NATO IS the enforcement arm of the EU). 

At another point (16min20sec) Mr. Techau suggests that it's simply a matter of freedom of speech, or as he puts it...."in a free and open society", for former and current EU officials and those from its member states to appear in Kiev and literally encourage the crowds to topple their current government and occupy its offices.  Crowds that were organized and coordinated by foreign NGO's for years.

Fine....agreed.  Right there with you Jan Techau!!!  LET'S GO FOR IT!!!

The day the British police -- for example -- allow officials from the Arabian Peninsula or perhaps from Russia, after establishing huge support networks through their foreign sponsored Madrasas, or Russian NGO's for over a decade, and after after having organized massive crowds of Islamists, or Russian supporters, through these networks to appear on the streets of London, and than to encourage such crowds to violently occupy the administrative centers of London and demand the dissolution of its current government and the abdication of the Queen, with as mild a response as has so far been shown by the Ukranian police, this website editor will also agree with Mr. Jan Techau that it's simply a matter of the activities of a "free and open society" and that no one should even object to such actions....if Mr. Jan Techau also agrees to do so.

Till that day happens, (and it never will for a complete hypocrite like Mr. Jan Techau) his comments that these sorts of activities are typical of a "free and open society" are null and void and utterly irresponsible. - mpg

Unindicted US War Criminals vs. Iran
A quote...." Former Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and George Shultz are two of America's worst. - Kissinger was an early architect of new world order harshness. He's guilty of multiple crimes of war, against humanity and genocide. Just societies would have imprisoned him long ago. - His rap sheet includes millions of deaths, mass destruction, and unspeakable human misery. He deplores peace. He endorses state-sponsored terror. He was a leading practitioner in government. -  He symbolizes imperial lawlessness. So does Shultz. He was Nixon's Treasury Secretary. He represented Wall Street.- From 1974 - 1982, he served as Bechtel Group's president. It's a predatory privately owned company. It has close Republican ties. It profits hugely from US imperial wars. Often it's by secret no-bid contracts. - From 1982 - 1989, Shultz was Reagan's Secretary of State. He succeeded General Alexander Haig. He helped orchestrate "Salvador Option" ruthlessness."

Iran Sanctions Bites the US [Banksters] in the A** as Iran Responds With Petro Gold System!
A quote...."Since June of 2012 I’ve been talking about Iran circumventing SWIFT and though it hurt their economy, initiating devastating inflation and great harm to the Iranian people, Iran has taken the hits from the sanctions but founded what could now be called the PETRO GOLD system.  It’s allowed Iran to sell oil to China, India and Japan for gold. -- Iran was able to ship oil in shadow tankers, GPS turned off, receiving wheat, edible oils and gold in exchange. Dubai was a laundering point for the gold along with Turkey as a transhipment point the gold payments. -- Iran proved this system worked and it dovetails nicely into China’s plans. This may have been one of the most important puzzle pieces that came out our sanctions." -- Topix  ||  The Three Legs of a Sound International Financial System - A Proposal - 03-15-12 - mpg  ||

A quote...." Doomsayers claim it's troubled. So do Bolivarian haters. Chavez endured flack for 14 years. It's Nicolas Maduro's turn. -- He prioritizes political, economic and social justice. Washington and internal dark forces despise him for doing so. They want him replaced. Perhaps they want him dead. -- He's using Enabling Law authority responsibly. He represents popular interests. He's fighting corruption. He's cracking down on price-gouging profiteers. He's doing so legally. -- US and internal dark forces target Venezuela's economy. They've done it since Chavez took office in February 1999. They haven't stopped."

Yes, and that's the key.  The economies of Venezuela, Argentina and Iran have been  systematically attacked for over a decade. Not just by the obvious methods of sanctions and the cut off of credit or the manipulation of interest rates and occasional sabotage, but by somehow deliberately inducing inflation in the targeted countries economies.  Of course the obvious methods just mentioned contribute to inflation and the scarcity of resources, which is of course what they're designed to do, but it appears the attackers have additional, hidden techniques to destroy a targeted nation's economy. What they are isn't quite visible....yet. - mpg

Their loyalty is to another country, far off in The Middle East. Is there no end to the irony? To paraphrase The Bard, will no one free me of this meddlesome irony? These are truly strange times. You didn't used to see things like this and it doesn't say who bought it for a penny. I wonder why? Yeah, you come across all kinds of interesting things these days. Truth is popping up its head in the most unexpected places. We've got a strange dichotomy at work. On the one side there are signs all over of things turning a corner, in terms of human understanding and a wider awakening. On the other side are signs of demonic intelligences at work. One thing is for sure, in some quarters, insanity is going exponential. The most amazing thing to me is that those who are insane and there's no other word that more accurately describes them, are unaware that they are insane. Yeah, I already posted that link a couple of weeks ago but it deserves second mention because we are in the observation booth of the Rising of the Ridiculous. We could travel all day studying examples of this madness. It goes on and on. This abuse of the language would be funny if it did not have such frightening consequences."

Climategate: A Crime Against Humanity (Updated For Late 2013)
A quote...."One would think that if stopping global warming were the real agenda, the governments and institutions who had signed on to the global warming screed would proclaim the data as proof of success in dealing with the problem, declare victory, and move onto other projects. But the real agenda all along has been to trick the public into buying carbon credits (from which Al Gore profits handsomely) and carbon taxes (which Obama is pushing for), which is why the failure of the real world to match the draconian predictions of the global warming cult is being concealed from the public. And that alone proves the global warming issue is politics, not science."

This is going to be the best year since the halcyon bubble days of 2007. November’s Seasonally Adjusted Sales Rate (SAAR) of 16.4 million new units was the highest since February 2007. The industry is happily bobbing up and down in a sea of boundless exuberance. Nothing can possibly go wrong. -- So sales in September and October had experienced a sharp downdraft.

We hear not a peep out of the UN about sanctions upon those supporting them. - There is nothing about putting them on a no fly list, or having arrests warrants issued for them so they can be picked up when crossing a border. - Such things seem to be considered an infringement upon their right of free travel to their next killing field. - Mind you, we have had several VT board members and staff on the no fly list simple for saying something that someone high up did not like, and decided to show others what the penalty for not self censoring oneself correctly was." - bold by website editor - Topix ||  US SoT - Al CIA'da In Syria  ||

More Tales From the Zio-Sphere....

Israeli Palestinians Charged for Defending Themselves from Jewish Terrorist
WTF!! - (This is just SICK!! - mpg) -- A quote...."Those of you who’ve visited courthouses or seen them pictured in movies will remember the statue of Justice blind-folded while holding two balanced scales.  Israel has put a new spin on this statue.  In Israel Justice may be blind-folded but she is somehow able to peek out from behind the blindfold to determine whether the detainees before her are Jewish or Palestinian. -- That’s justice Israel-style.   Israeli police charged seven of the Palestinian victims of the 2005 terror attack by Israeli serial-murderer, Eden Natan Zada.  In that bus attack, Natan Zada set out to kill as many Palestinians as possible with his IDF-issued rifle.  He succeeded in murdering four and wounding twenty-three more.  The bloodshed ended only when the survivor-victims overpowered him and killed him in self-defense.  Defending oneself from a Jewish terrorist is apparently a serious criminal offense in Israel.  Doing the same when confronting and killing a Palestinian terrorist will get you the keys to the city and a hero’s welcome."

Press body accuses Israel army of targeting journalists
A quote...."JERUSALEM (AFP) -- The Foreign Press Association on Sunday accused the Israeli army of "deliberately targeting" journalists after soldiers fired rubber bullets and threw stun grenades at photojournalists clearly identified as press."

Tribunal Issues Landmark Verdict against Israel for Genocide
A quote...."The Kuala Lumpur Tribunal based its momentous decision on the 1948 Genocide Convention, which prohibits and punishes the killing, causing of harm and deliberate infliction of conditions of life calculated to bring about the physical destruction of a group of people, targeted for their ethnicity, religion or race. In instances of genocide, these criminal acts are done with the specific intent of destroying as a part or in whole of the targeted group, as in this plight the Palestinian people."

Israeli Judaization Master Plans
Special Note - A quote...." Israel is a racist police state. Zionist ideology espouses Jewish superiority, specialness, and uniqueness. It claims Jews are God's "chosen people." - It's uncomfortably close to Nazi Aryan dogma. Master race notions are troubling. They reflect racist extremism. Israel is a prime example. - It calls itself a democratic Jewish state. Democracy is nowhere in sight. Jews alone have rights. Increasing numbers have limited ones. Neoliberal harshness denies them. - Arab citizens have few rights. Bedouin Arab citizens and Occupied Palestinians have none. Israel has various Judaization plans. They feature ethnic cleansing."

Brand Israel: silence the truth by blinding the messengers of truth
A quote...."If the messengers of truth threaten to expose you, shoot them. That is the modus operandi of the Israeli army. - According to the Foreign Press Association (FPA), during an incident at the Qalandiya crossing, in the occupied West Bank, on 29 November Israeli troops fired rubber bullets at journalists at eye-level – rather than at the lower body – which could have resulted in a fatality."

Behind the US negotiations with Iran
A quote...."Over the past two months, Washington has pulled back from a course that was leading it inexorably into a major Mideast war that would have dwarfed those US imperialism has waged since 1991. In September, the Obama administration abruptly dropped its threats of a military strike on Syria, a key Iranian ally. It then pivoted into talks with Iran, with which it had been holding secret negotiations for months."

Hamid Karzai: No Ordinary Puppet
A quote...."The Obama Administration inherited Afghan President Karzai from the Bush Administration, for sure. But Obama’s brain trust decided early-on to ignore the rampant election rigging, corruption and hypocrisy in exchange for surging 30,000 more American soldiers (plus tens of thousands of contractors, CIA, and State Department personnel) into what has since become the failed COIN dream of then-Gen. David Petraeus (who is, conveniently, long gone from the scene). -- The elaborate web of compromises forged over the last decade has left Karzai holding all the face cards: he’s got a huge, American-trained military at his disposal, tons of personal wealth thanks to the US taxpayer, and the prospect of NATO protection against his enemies until he is replaced in the upcoming election and makes for Dubai where his family fortunes await....."
