From Israel-Palestine to Inequality - Saving the World Obama-Style
Must Read - A quote...."When it comes to spying and killing, Barack Obama is Mr. Malevolent. - But every now and then, he gets a notion to go high-minded.  Words come first.  Sometimes he backs up his words with gestures; sometimes he even puts people on the case – feckless people like John Kerry. - It never comes to anything however, and sooner or later (usually sooner), the notion passes. - He and Kerry have been at it for some time now with the Israel-Palestine “peace process,” and Obama is gearing up to take on inequality next. - The pattern reveals a lot about the Obama presidency and about the man. - Hegel thought that Napoleon and other “world historical” figures were of philosophical importance.  No one can say that of Obama.  But philosophy can help illuminate what goes on in those rare instances when he turns his attention away from maintaining the empire abroad and high finance at home, and sets out instead to save the world."

30+ Emmy winning journalist: 1% are ‘mercenary class, predators, looters.’ What do you say? What will you do?
Contains Video - In this three minute video, 30+ Emmy-winning journalist Bill Moyers characterizes the 1% as an oligarchy poised to end democracy and make change from within impossible. He calls them...."
"What’s missing from Bill’s analysis: the 1%’s main acts in war and money are illegal, demanding their immediate arrests to stop their war-murders of millions, harm to billions, and looting of trillions. -- These crimes are as vicious as can be imagined, with strategy to “cover” these crimes with corporate media to keep the public in the dark. -- Mr. Moyers is clear that the 1%, if exposed, would outrage the 99% to “tear the system apart with their bare hands.”"

The jails are operated by one of the fiercest rebel groups - the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. Its practices and laws are so harsh, that Amnesty International has equated it to a reign of terror. Smoking, or behaviour deemed anti-Islamic can lead to lengthy sentences at these detention centers and even worse. But, as RT's Gayane Chichakyan reports, Washington's commitment to the rebels in Syria means it's willing to talk to even the most hardline groups." - Topix ||  US SoT - Al CIA'da In Syria  ||

Not Muslims," the Muslim Council of Britain said on its website. - "So put up the Christmas tree, prepare the roast, wrap the presents and spread the Yuletide joy. - "None of us will be offended if you go ahead and enjoy the Christmas cheer. We'll remember too the blessings Jesus gave to all of us. He was, after all, an important Prophet to Muslims.”"

More Tales From the Zio-Sphere....

Why People from Roger Waters to Jimmy Carter Sound like Dr. Duke
Must Read - A quote...."We are in a struggle to free ourselves from oppression, but this oppression is not enforced on us at gunpoint. - Rather, it is through deceit and psychology. It is not through domination of the military, but rather through domination of information and finance. We have it completely within our grasp to free ourselves. We don’t need to ask anything of our oppressors. We don’t need to demand anything. - Our prison door is not locked, it is not even closed. We simply have to get up and walk out. We produce all the ideas and information we need, so we don’t have to watch their media. - We have all the money we need, and we don’t have to put our money in their banks. We just have to make the choice. We just need our own awakening. To achieve our liberation, not a shot needs to be fired. - No one has to be rounded up, although certainly their are plenty of banksters and frauds and traitors who have committed horrific crimes and deserve punishment. No, our struggle is completely non-violent. It’s the moral way. And its the most effective way." - David Duke Donation Request - (If You're In Europe - CLICK HERE) - (If You're Anywhere Else - CLICK HERE)

Jewish Subversion of Christmas and the Political Order
A quote...."What we are seeing here is that Christ, an ethnic Jew[9] who is “undoubtedly the best known and most influential human person in world history,”[10] ended up being a blessing to the West and much of the entire World through Christmas. - But since “Jewishness is not a people but a religion,” as Shlomo Sand and the Gospels themselves point out, the Jewish people rejected Christ because he came to proclaim peace instead of perpetual wars (Matthew 5:9), reconciliation between man instead of plundering and pillaging (Luke 23:12). - As E. Michael Jones writes, the Jews rejected Christ largely because he was not a military leader,[11] not because he was not an ethnic Jew. In fact, the antagonists in the Gospels were all ethnic Jews. - When Simon Bar Kochba showed up in the second century as a military messiah, the Jews fully embraced him, even though he led them to literal misery and despair.[12]"

Helmsley Trust gives $22 million to Israeli institutions
A quote...."The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust announced almost $22 million in new grants to four Israeli institutions. - The four grants are being awarded to Magen David Adom, Barzilai Hospital, Haifa University and Friends of the Israel Defense Forces. The grants are intended to strengthen and protect facilities in the event of natural disasters or regional conflict, expand Israel’s environmental research of the Mediterranean seabed and provide scholarships for disadvantaged soldiers to pursue higher education, according to the trust."

AIPAC’s Exploding Christmas Gift To Obama
ZOG Alert - A quote...."Just when President Obama was starting to believe that it was safe to go back into the water, the lobby has come out with a new Iran sanctions bill designed to torpedo negotiations with Iran.

Kirk, Menendez, and Schumer hope to introduce in the Senate this week — presumably to be pressed for passage after the Christmas/New Year recess — are circulating today around Washington, and, as predicted, it is clearly designed to sabotage last month’s first-phase deal (the Joint Plan of Action) on Tehran’s nuclear program, as well as prospects for a final agreement." - bold by website editor - Topix || How About An Honest NPT? - 11-11-10 - mpg  || - See also comment shown below....
"AIPAC has basically pressured the Senate to craft a "deal" with Iran which Iran will not be able to accept. This will remove the possibility of peace over Iran's non-existent nuclear weapons, leaving war with Iran, to be fought by YOUR children, as the only option!" -- *Michael Rivero*
“Blood Diamonds” and Israel’s Diamond Export Industry
A quote...."Self-regulation has failed; civil society must act to end the trade in all blood diamonds. -- In November, members of the Kimberley Process (KP), meeting in plenary in South Africa, squandered what was probably their last good opportunity to ban the sale of all blood diamonds, including cut and polished blood diamonds which are an important source of funding for the nuclear armed regime in Israel which stands accused of the crime of apartheid, war crimes and crimes against humanity."

GCHQ, NSA Spied On Known Terrorist Haven… UNICEF
A quote...."The reports also detail spying on various government officials, though, as I’ve said in the past, that kind of stuff isn’t particularly bothersome — as spying on leaders of other countries is typical and expected espionage activity, though it can certainly create some diplomatic awkwardness. Perhaps more interesting is that there’s much more evidence here of economic espionage activity. Among those “targeted” were Joaquin Almunia, the EU commission “competition” boss, who has been investigating anti-trust claims against American companies like Google and Microsoft. The NSA has insisted (and repeated in response to questions from reporters writing the two stories above) that it doesn’t engage in economic espionage — though GCHQ apparently doesn’t have any such restriction, suggesting that the NSA can just hand that kind of activity off to its UK friends, who it funds, and then reap the benefits." - bold by website editor - Source:  TechDirt

Australian media bid to justify spying angers Indonesia
A quote...."A provocative attempt last weekend by the Australian, a Murdoch newspaper, to legitimise US-backed Australian spying on Indonesia’s political elite has further inflamed tensions between Canberra and Jakarta. - Jakarta last month suspended cooperation with Canberra in three areas—military exercises, intelligence exchanges and interception of refugee boats—after documents leaked by former US National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA‘s partner, the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), targeted the phones of Yudhoyono’s inner circle in 2009."

The NSA's Economic Spying Slowly Comes Into View
A quote...."The publishing of NSA secrets continues. The Guardian, Spiegel and the New York Times report on efforts to listen to new satellite connections. The tests were run against a (partitial) "target database" and their results reveal what targets that "target database" contains. These included international organizations like UNICEF, Non-Government-organizations like Médecins du Monde, high European Union functionaries, economic entities like the oil giant Total and the electronics and military producer Thales. They include many heads of states and state institutions as well as some alleged terrorists. Some of the target numbers were obtained from U.S. officials who share their rolodexes with the NSA."

More International Tales From the Declining Neo-Roman ZOG Controlled Empire....

The Changing Contours of US Imperial Intervention in World Conflicts
Must Read - A quote...."The imperial military and ideological apparatus for direct intervention was firmly in place by 2000.  It led to a prolonged series of wars in multiple geographical locations, involving long-term, large-scale commitments of economic resources, and military personnel and was completely unhampered by congressional or large-scale public opposition – at least in the beginning.  The ‘objectives’ of these serial wars were defined by their principal Zionist and militarist architects as the following:
(1) destroying regimes and states (as well as their military, police and civil governing bureaucracies) which had opposed Israel’s annexation of Palestine;

(2) deposing regimes which promoted independent nationalist policies, opposing or threatening the Gulf puppet monarchist regimes and supporting anti-imperialist, secular or nationalist-Islamic movements around the world.

One devastated country after the other has made it clear that any country which pursues independent sovereign policies and attempts to better its own position and the state of its people becomes a target for the US Empire. According to Dr. Michael Parenti, in an interview with the Voice of Russia; "… any leader who uses the resources, and labor, and substance of his country for the well-being and self-development in that country is seen as someone who is evil, has a hidden agenda, hostile toward America and is hostile toward the West."

Washington Acts Like Government-in-exile for Ukraine
A quote...."Americans may be deluded with “God-given exceptionalism”, self-congratulating propaganda known euphemistically as independent journalism and news, and a massive brainwashing diet of syrupy entertainment that reinforces the vacuous vanity of supposed American values – but do they really think the rest of the world is likewise comatose? Apparently, their officials think so."

CIS/CSTO will fight Western ‘color revolutions’
This article describes some highly dubious and dangerous approaches for fighting foreign sponsored "color revolutions".  Fighting these revolutions with the truth is just fine. Fighting them with propaganda is not.  Making sure your have a free, vibrant, independent, non-concentrated media, and a well educated, critically thinking population, coupled with programs, public or private, to identify foreign governmental or corporate propaganda efforts would be the way to go. Just because some people in the world were stupid enough to believe foreign NGO and foreign intelligence service propaganda doesn't mean you want to copy their programs. It may work in the short run, but its corrosive and long term deleterious effects to an entire society's overall health and vitality are ALWAYS cumulatively devastating. - mpg

A quote...."The meeting of the Director-General of Military Operations [DGMO] of India and Pakistan, which is due to take place on Tuesday at the GHQ in Rawalpindi, becomes a rare event in the chronicle of the fractured relationship between the two countries. Possibly, such an exchange between the two militaries is taking place for the first time since the then Indian DGMO Lt. Gen. Satish Nambiar visited Pakistan in 1991. Gen. Nambiar is a gifted soldier-diplomat and the visit went exceedingly well. His Pakistani hosts even took him and his delegation, in an exceptional gesture, to the Khyber Pass to peep into the tangled world of Afghanistan…"

Shanghai Cooperation Organisation: Pakistan poised to become member of SCO energy club
A quote..."As energy politics is gaining momentum across the world, Pakistan is going to become a member of the energy club of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), an initiative taken by Russia for providing support to energy projects in different countries including Pakistan." - Source:  Tribune - one commentator stated....
"The US has already lost this race, to provide Pakistan with energy through LNG contracts, and it is the US government's own catastrophically stupid fault, by the imposition of one of the most pig-headedly, ham-fistedly counterproductive foreign policies ever devised by any administration, and I am referring to the policy of extrajudicial assassinations in Pakistan. -- Given the rage and personal pain this policy has caused the people of Pakistan, to the point where NATO trucks have not been able to use the Khyber Pass to transport men and materials into Afghanistan due to blockades, it is no bloody wonder that Pakistani leadership has looked East, rather than to the West and US, to alleviate their fuel shortages. -- And a memo to American oil executives: this loss of potential marketplace for you can be laid squarely at the feet of the current administration. Please do a lot of thinking about this as you decide who to back in the next round of US Presidential elections." -- *Michael Rivero*
Washington’s “Asian Pivot” and China’s Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ).

The game of chicken being played in the Pacific has very real consequences, and threatens to destroy that ocean’s namesake."

Why Neo-Isolationism Is Soaring
Special Note - A quote...."by Patrick J. Buchanan - Neo-isolationism is the direct product of foolish globalism. … Compared to people who thought they could run the universe, or at least the globe, I am neo-isolationist and proud of it.” - Those are not the words of an old America Firster, but the declaration of that icon of the liberal establishment Walter Lippmann in 1967, a year before he endorsed Richard Nixon. -- In 1968, it was Nixon urging we stay the course in Vietnam, as Sens. Eugene McCarthy and Robert Kennedy were clamoring for retreat and swift withdrawal. -- In 1972, it was Democratic nominee George McGovern who would run on the neo-isolationist slogan “Come Home, America!” and win the endorsement of the New York Times and Washington Post. -- Today, neo-isolationism, bred of that “foolish globalism” of which Lippmann wrote, has made a comeback. For the first time since polling began in 1964, it is the dominant sentiment of the nation."

Somewhere in Recent History, Normal Killed Itself.
A quote...."Books like Fifty Shades of Gray don't just appear because some blimp of a piss poor writer sat down and agonized over the deathless lines that composed it. What it is is a bad marriage of romance novel and porn mixed up with a few other things. I haven't read it but I don't have to. Like so many things that become massive financial hits, the whole process was engineered to pander to the lowest prurient appetites of the bored and bewildered. Somewhere in New York City and cities like it, a bunch of cheese and white wine artistes and effete hangers on are referring to it as literature and every now and then one of them will turn to the other, point at the wall and say, "You know, I really like that painting. It's got a fullness and intrinsic power." what he's referring to is a red paint roller track across a white canvas. I can hear them now, "It speaks to me." I'm glad it kept it's mouth shut when I walked by."

Enabling Act - Renewed -- A quote..."(ActivistPost) - Late Thursday night, the Senate passed the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2014, in a sweeping bill now being sent to the president which reports suggest he will sign. - The bill, is infamous for its language on indefinite detention, and “disappearing” of American citizens. Once again, the bill was past via Fast-Tracking while most of the country was sidelined on the Phil Robertson issue with Duck Dynasty. - The bill, now being sent to President Obama, also leaves out an amendment by Sen. Gillibrand on sexual assault prosecution, which in and of itself is curious. The bill passed the Senate in an 85-14 count, with the roll-call unavailable at this time."

With the 2013 Santa stock market rally in full euphoric swing, any discussion of a crash in 2014 strikes a note of cognitive dissonance.

This is completely unacceptable.

Maybe they want to ruin their economy?  If so, this is the way to go. - mpg -- A quote...."The seeds, which are really known as Terminator technology or suicide seeds, are genetically modified seeds that are said to prevent proliferation of GMOs by making the second generation of them sterile.

To the pathocrats who blazed the trail toward our modern era of information warfare and opinion control, facts themselves were malleable, subject not to objective reality but to the way they were perceived and internalized by a credulous public.

“It is not the facts alone that strike the popular mind, but the way in which they take place and in which they are published that kindle the imagination…Besides, what is a fact? The effort to state an absolute fact is simply an attempt to…give you my interpretation of the facts.”

It justifies what demands condemnation. - It supports banksters looting the federal treasury. It does so by not exposing and denouncing them. It does it by not demanding top Wall Street officials be prosecuted. - Monied interests run America. Times editors ignore it. They turn a blind eye to America’s de facto one party state. They endorse sham US elections. They give legitimacy to a rigged process. - They give short shrift to growing US poverty, unemployment, underemployment, hunger, homelessness, and human misery.

Some Might Call It Treason  - posted at ICH
Must Read - A quote...."December 19, 2013 "Information Clearing House - There is a major flaw in the United States Constitution. The Founders understood that partisan politics would inevitably result in bickering along party lines that would lead to charges that political opponents were betraying the country so they deliberately made it very difficult to charge others with "treason." Which is not to say that they did not regard treason as the most heinous of crimes. The fact that it is defined in the Constitution, one of only two crimes to be specified in the document, is telling, but they just wanted to make sure that when the charge was made it was made in all seriously, not to obtain frivolous political advantage. In Article III the Constitution states "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."" - Topix ||  Treason Defined - 10-18-13 - mpg  ||

In other words, Congress members were speaking about Iran. - While nearly every single word uttered by the Treasury Department’s David Cohen [Euro-Kazarian - eligible for Israeli dual citizenship] and Undersecretary Wendy Sherman – the State Department’s number three and lead U.S. negotiator in Geneva – and her Senatorial inquisitors could (and should) be fact-checked and debunked, in the interest of time and sanity, I will address only a single statement that cried out for correction (and will maybe get to more at another time)." - Bold by website editor- For more on David Cohen see articles shown below....

The World’s Longest Festering Truth – Israel is an Illegal Garrison State

According to the despicable custom of the last few years, some of the soldiers wore ski masks; before our apathetic eyes what used to be the premier line of fashion among criminals has become common military attire. - From this moment on, everything went as per the routine – a routine known to every soldier who has ever served in the occupied territories: the soldiers gathered all the family members in one room, not giving them time to dress properly. They then searched the house, found nothing, and as they left, the head of the family, ‘Issa, heard the soldiers say to one another that they had raided the wrong house. Needless to say, the soldiers did not apologize to the family. The soldiers told them not to leave the house while they were still present." - Source:  YashDin

There can be no other strategy, unless of course, Israel’s friends get their own moment of moral awakening, and join the BDS flood that has already broken many barriers and liberated many minds from the grip of Israeli hasbara....."

The Legend of the Phoenix
Must Read - COIN Tactics - A quote...."Phoenix was far more than a mere assassination program , however. It was a Counter-Insurgency, COIN, program, using the tactic of counter-terrorism, including assassination, against the insurgent’s so-called infrastructure. This was the Vietnamese civilian population in which the insurgent, the Viet Cong guerilla, operated and from some of whom they drew their support. To the U.S., these civilians were the Viet Cong Infrastructure, the VCI. And the VCI was the target to be terrorized by any means necessary in the hope that they would turn against the Viet Cong. -- The VCI would have included the families, close and extended kinship groups, of alleged active Viet Cong combatants, fellow villagers, and other Vietnamese civilians who were not actively opposed to the Viet Cong." - bold by website editor

Everybody says it." --- "Perhaps my best vindication, after all the hate mail from “super patriots,” who wear their ignorance on their sleeves, and Obama-worshipping liberals, whose gullibility is sickening, came from federal judge Richard Leon, who declared the Obama-sanctioned NSA spying to be “almost Orwellian.” As the American Civil Liberties Union realized, federal judge Leon’s decision vindicated Edward Snowden by ruling that the NSA spying is likely outside what the Constitution permits, “labeling it ‘Orwellian’–adding that James Madison would be ‘aghast.’” - If only more Americans were aghast...." - Source:  PaulCraigRoberts - also posted at BFP

NOT impossible, just very expensive both personally and financially, and really, really, hard.  You must have fortitude, faith, courage and most importantly, a morally constructed over-arching paradigm that both explains the world and acts as a self-correcting mechanism to validate, or invalidate if necessary, your perceptions and theories of the world and how it actually works.  You must be willing to learn, seek out the truth and discard incorrect viewpoints when the are proven wrong.  Think of it as the scientific method applied to all societal constructs and all information you experience, grounded in a basic moral framework as its founding principle. - mpg

Defenders of these programs argue that they're "flushing out" potential terrorists, but many of us worry about where this crosses the line into entrapment and a sort of "pre-crime" rather than stopping any actual crime.

It is fascinating that the only people worried about inflation being too low are Ivy League educated economists and bankers whose wealth depends upon the middle class sinking further into poverty. As a person who lives in the real world, I can honestly say I like it when the things I need to buy cost less today than they did last year. When did inflation become a good thing for the average American? Our country was somehow able to grow from a fledgling new country to a world power in just over a century while experiencing mild deflation, except during times of war. The fallacy that inflation is beneficial to the common man has been peddled by bankers since 1971 when Nixon and his cronies closed the gold window and unleashed the inflationary boogeyman in the form of feckless politicians, captured Keynesian academics, and greedy soulless bankers." - also posted at WashBlog & ZeroHedge

Beginning in 2009, the labor force participation rate began to steadily decline for the first time in twenty years, hiding millions of displaced workers outside the official tabulation of the unemployed.

GE Fukushima reactors - Even I can spot a design problem!  - TWO major design defects.
Graphic - (click to view) -- A quote....".... in this model of the GE reactor, the control rods are underneath the fuel assemblies, pushed up into place on hydraulics. If something should happen to those hydraulics, say, in an earthquake, gravity is now working AGAINST the safety of the system, trying to draw the rods down and out of the fuel assemblies! Even if the hydraulics simply lock in place, there is no system to sever the control authority and allow gravity to pull the control rods into a position to dampen down the fission reaction. This bottom-rod system has removed one of the most basic redundancies of reactor design!" -- *Michael Rivero*
Not to mention Fukushima's other major design defect, GE placed the spent fuel pools for the used reactor rods at the top of the building nearly over the reactor vessel. - mpg  - For more on Fukushima see WHR's database - Fukushima and Other Nuke Disasters.

An Act of War: CIA Leak Gives “Incontrovertible Evidence” That 9/11 Was State Sponsored
Special Note - A quote...."The Saudis deny any role in 9/11, but the CIA in one memo reportedly found “incontrovertible evidence” that Saudi government officials — not just wealthy Saudi hardliners, but high-level diplomats and intelligence officers employed by the kingdom — helped the hijackers both financially and logistically. The intelligence files cited in the report directly implicate the Saudi embassy in Washington and consulate in Los Angeles in the attacks, making 9/11 not just an act of terrorism, but an act of war." - also posted at RINF & DProgram - Topix ||  Reficultnias's 9/11 Central  ||

Inside the Saudi 9/11 "Coverup" - posted at ICH
A quote...."December 16, 2013 "Information Clearing House -  After the 9/11 attacks, the public was told al Qaeda acted alone, with no state sponsors. -- But the White House never let it see an entire section of Congress’ investigative report on 9/11 dealing with “specific sources of foreign support” for the 19 hijackers, 15 of whom were Saudi nationals. -- It was kept secret and remains so today. -- President Bush inexplicably censored 28 full pages of the 800-page report." - bold by website editor
That should be kept in mind by everyone.  Despite all the bloviating by many in the right-wing of the blogsphere.  It was Bush Jr's family that had a thirty year financial and political relationship with the Saudi parasitic Family and NOT the so-called "Muslim in the White House".  A relationship so close they even had a Saudi ambassador named after them....Bandar Bush.  Who just this year was threatening Vladimir Putin, to his face, in public, stating if he didn't stop supporting Assad in Syria, something really bad would be done to Russia's winter Olympics by the Saudi's Wahhabist terrorist forces. And nobody in the "West" including the corporate media in this country even batted an eye.  Just think about it. - mpg
The logic of 9/11: US-Saudi-Pakistani connections
A quote...."Most of the terrorists were/are understandably Saudis, rich on oil wealth, educated at western universities (or unemployed), and disgusted by the Saudi alliance with imperialism (and by implication, Israel). As such, these terrorists have been dubbed neo-Wahhabis by Seyyed Nasr, author of Islam in the Modern World: Challenged by the West, Threatened by Fundamentalism, Keeping Faith with Tradition (2010). They are the bitter fruits (for us all, Muslim and non-Muslim) now being reaped in the so-called Global War on Terror. The problem is that this ‘war’ targets all Islamists, including teenage Palestinian rock-throwers, Hizbullah resistance fighters, elected Hamas, Iranian and Egyptian politicians, conveniently lumping them all together with the neo-Wahhabi terrorists."

Al Qaeda and the “War on Terrorism”
From the History File - January 20, 2008 -- A quote...."One of the main objectives of war propaganda is to “fabricate an enemy”. The “outside enemy” personified by Osama bin Laden is “threatening America”. - Pre-emptive war directed against “Islamic terrorists” is required to defend the Homeland. Realities are turned upside down. America is under attack. - In the wake of 9/11, the creation of this “outside enemy” has served to obfuscate the real economic and strategic objectives behind the war in the Middle East and Central Asia. Waged on the grounds of self-defense, the pre-emptive war is upheld as a “just war” with a humanitarian mandate."

Could an entire population really believe that sending most of their neighbors into icy concentration camps to be killed as happened in the Soviet Union really be a healthy national policy? Who could be made to believe such a thing? Only the ignorant. -- And in the same vein, who could believe that they should pay a small group of arrogant Jewish men calling themselves the Federal Reserve for the right to spend their own money, resulting in ever rising prices and debts that can never be repaid? These same people who call themselves citizens of the greatest country that ever was, that's who. That is to say, Americans."

McCain meets with Ukrainian opposition, backs pro-EU protests
McCain has been a traitorous Zio-Whore for decades. Just as this website editor was about to speculate on why HE is over there pushing Ukraine's suicidal accession to the EU this website editor saw the following  comments.....
"McCain’s appearance–one of Zionism’s top agent in the US government–should alone be enough evidence of what powers are pushing the Ukraine protests. RT’s latest exposés on Israel’s crimes against humanity and their nukes and chems, to me at least, is very telling: they know that damn Zionism is edging a knife towards their throats for “interfering” in their Balkanization of Syria. Putin knows exactly what the real threat is. That’s why he reminded everyone that Russia will use nukes to defend itself if attacked. Notice, also, Russia is talking to Hamas now. I predict Russia will only get bolder and bolder as it meets Zionism’s threats head-on." -- *NLG*
"If the Ukraine folds herself into the Euro umbrella, she will make herself an sterile bride. Fortunate it seems, the Klitschko brothers are not only great fighters in the physical science. They are both very smart and very educated men. In a match of a Klitchko vs McCain, I will take the former in matches of either battle. Too bad it is not a just a fight of one man versus half a man(McCain). Vitali does have Putin in his corner though. And Ukrainians do love and respect him. I hope they can over-come the Ukrainian Jewish lobby." -- *ToddRains*
"It was said a few days ago that there is a colour revolution taking place in the Ukraine, where young people want to be a part of Europe. They will probably rue the day if that happens. There are several countries, including the UK, who want out, but are in too deep. Heard today that McCain is making threats against the Ukraine government if they don`t comply, used to be Clinton`s job, now he is back in the US, threatening Iran with more sanctions. Putin has said he is sick of these colour revolutions. I hope Russia wins this one." -- *IngridB*

Judge Richard Leon, a judge in the DC district court, has ruled that the NSA's bulk metadata collection should be stopped as violating the 4th Amendment, though he's put the ruling on hold, knowing that it will be appealed. This is the first major court ruling concerning the program, and the judge is pretty clear that it's a 4th Amendment violation even though the FISA court approved it. The case is actually two different cases brought by Larry Klayman, the founder of Freedom Watch, over the NSA's activities...."

A Cover-Up of PayPal's NSA Involvement?
Special Note - AJVideo - (AJYuTb - 7min55sec - Dec 16, 2013) - Source:  TheAlexJonesChannel -- A quote...."Why have we not heard anything from the Snowden documents about the NSA's connections to financial institutions — especially PayPal? What about the connections between PayPal, the CIA and the data mining company they founded — Palantir? Is PayPal owner Pierre Omidyar an altruistic billionaire who cares deeply about investigative journalism or did he work with US government to financially strangle WikiLeaks and prosecute the PayPal14? Is Omidyar's new journalism company a move by the CIA and globalist banksters like PayPal to co-opt authentic journalism and control public debate about the NSA?"
This video was quite alarming, especially the interview snippets featuring PalPal's founder which were quite chilling.  PayPal should be considered as unreliable at this point. It is strongly urged that all serious websites featuring information about the "Great Game", the Banksters and other information about the parasites switch to alternative pay services as soon as they possibly can. - mpg

Unleash The Lawyers! Mounting Costs Of NSA Scandal To Bleed US Tech For Years
Related Article - A quote...."What’s rising for US tech companies like a pile of fuming manure? The costs of working hand-in-glove with the NSA to build the most formidable, seamless, borderless, indiscriminate spy dragnet imaginable. For years, they’ve cashed in on this work, feeding frenetically at the big trough of the government. Revelations bandied about in the media with torturous regularity confirm that they’ve succeeded. -- But the world is not a static place. Reactions have been swift – and very costly for our already revenue-challenged corporate tech heroes. Sales have suddenly plunged in the most promising high-growth countries like China and Russia, and share values have dropped because of it. But now there is a new cost to add to the pile, an all-American cost, the redistribution of wealth from corporations to lawyers: class-action lawsuits."

More International Tales From the Declining Neo-Roman ZOG Controlled Empire....

Global Finance, Geopolitics and “The Big American Retreat”
A quote...."Whether it be the economic or political woes of the United States, Japan and the European Union, the Russian diplomatic victories over Syria, Armenia or the Ukraine, or Chinese ambitions in the East China Sea, tomorrow’s powers are quickly filling the geopolitical void left by yesterday’s powers.But 2014 will experience a dramatic acceleration of this profound trend thanks to the convergence of several factors: loss of control of the world by the United States, the end of desperate rescue methods (mainly quantitative easing), a new implosion of the real estate market… Not forgetting the groundswell which is the forced reform of the international monetary system. Using roulette is an example, until recently there has been the phase “place your bets” during which the players have been able to prepare and implement their strategies; we are now rather in the phase “no more bets” where the players will soon be able to see their profits-or losses."

US Spreading [Military] Tentacles ‘Everywhere’
A quote...."The United States is trying to spread its military tentacles “everywhere that it can in the world” because it cannot compete “with the rest of the world economically,” says Glen Ford, executive editor of Black Agenda Report."

What If a Drone Strike Hit an American Wedding? - posted at ICH

I thought of our friends and family members packed into those vehicles when I read about the latest nightmarish consequence of America's drone war: "A U.S. drone mistakenly targeted a wedding convoy in Yemen's al-Baitha province after intelligence reports identified the vehicles as carrying al Qaeda militants," CNN reported, citing government sources in Yemen. "The officials said that 14 people were killed and 22 others injured, nine in critical condition. The vehicles were traveling near the town of Radda when they were attacked."" - Source:  TheAtlantic

CIA Claims Release of its History of the Bay of Pigs Debacle Would “Confuse the Public.”
A quote...."Late last year, the Central Intelligence Agency explained to Judge Kessler of the US District Court in Washington DC that releasing the final volume of its three-decade-old history of the 1961 Bay of Pigs debacle would “confuse the public,” and should be withheld because it is a “predecisional” document.  Wow.  And I thought that I had heard them all." - bold by website editor
"Predecisional"??  Well by golly a NEW term to allow additional obfuscation and pervert the course of justice.

Radical nun says answering her Christian calling landed her in prison
A quote...."OCILLA, Ga. — Sister Megan Rice presses the palm of her hand against the glass in greeting, her blue eyes welcoming her visitor in a cell opposite hers. Lamps illuminate her oval face framed by cropped hair like a white halo.

Elizabeth Warren Beats Back Social Security Plot
A quote...."Until recently, in discussions of the future of Social Security the Overton Window was positioned to exclude any discussion of raising, rather than cutting, Social Security benefits. For the last generation, the range of permissible opinion with respect to the program - which most Americans depend on for nearly all of their income in old age - ranged from conservatives who wanted to abolish Social Security altogether, to press-anointed "progressives" and token Democrats who merely wanted to cut Social Security benefits. The option of maintaining scheduled Social Security benefits, and paying for them with higher taxes, was considered unworthy of discussion by the guardians of Overton Orthodoxy, both in the press and in the two major parties. As for expanding Social Security benefits - why, that's crazy talk!"

The announcement came just days after Islamabad had agreed to speed up work on the US$7.5 billion project. - Reasons for Tehran's drastic and sudden u-turn decision could range from the dismal state of its own economy to understandings reached with the US last month on the future of its nuclear-development project. Complicating matters, Pakistan was reported last month to have built nuclear weapons for Saudi Arabia, Iran's arch-rival in the region, and that these were ready for shipping. Whatever the case, it turns the pipeline, once considered an energy lifeline for Pakistan's economy, into a liability for the cash-strapped South Asian country."

Washington Drives the World Toward War — Paul Craig Roberts
Must Read - Quote of the Day...."Washington has had the US at war for 12 years: Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Pakistan, Yemen, and almost Syria, which could still happen, with Iran waiting in the wings.

None of these wars appears to have any compelling reason or justifiable explanation. The wars have been important to the profits of the military/security complex. The wars have provided cover for the construction of a Stasi police state in America, and the wars have served Israel’s interest by removing obstacles to Israel’s annexation of the entire West Bank and southern Lebanon." - also posted at RINF - Topix ||  Basic Statistics for United States Imperialism - Alt  ||

Obama declared that the U.S. missile shield in Poland and the Czech Republic was being put aside. It seemed like the planet was headed towards peace. Conrad Black, in a Canadian editorial, has even gone so far as suggesting creating new spheres of influence in Eurasia with Moscow:"  ---  "Yet, the missile shield project near the Russian border is not being abandoned.[2] The American military project is being expanded just as it was originally planned in the 1990s. It will involve a naval armada of ships that will surround Eurasia from the Baltic Sea, Black Sea, and the Eastern Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf, South China Sea, and the Yellow Sea." - Source:  WakeUpF/Slmbr - Topix ||  Basic Statistics for United States Imperialism - Alt  ||

Turbo Stupid and the Dominoes of Interactive Evil
Must Read - A quote...."Sometimes you just have to open a posting with some good news; a great example of functioning humanity. A lot of people talk the talk but very few walk the talk. Here's someone who does. I have to continue to remind myself that the criminal Crass Media, owned by the largest genetic aggregate of criminals on the planet, taken from the world's smallest demographic, necessarily avoid positive examples of humanity. What they like to do is take the nastiest shits among us (individuals much like themselves) and pass them off as decent life forms when they are only monsters pretending to be decent life forms and failing miserably; much like the Orcs being copies of Elves. We live in a world where people like this are our role models and are put forth as more deserving than people with actual talent. People with actual talent though, they're likely to be less likely to 'play the game' and the game of the moment is corrupting mass consciousness, denigrating humanity and perverting the norm to the point that the norm is seen as abnormal."

Therefore, the agreement is no big deal and he doesn’t get why people are so up in arms over it." - Source:  TechDirt
