Endless War Is a Feature – Not a Bug – of U.S. Policy
A quote...."We are in the middle of a perpetual series of wars. See this, this, this and this. -- As just one example, in 2010 the war in Afghanistan became the longest war in U.S. history.  But – no matter what you’ve heard – there are no plans to get out any time soon. -- As Glenn Greenwald notes today...."

"Despite the happy talk from [the Pentagon's top lawyer, the war on terror] is not ending soon. By its very terms, it cannot. And all one has to do is look at the words and actions of the Obama administration to know this...."

Washington's Global Reign of Terror
A quote...."Alternative title: USrael's global reign of terror. -- Glenn Greenwald writes in his article, "The 'war on terror' - by design - can never end"...."

"There's no question that this "war" will continue indefinitely. There is no question that US actions are the cause of that, the gasoline that fuels the fire. The only question - and it's becoming less of a question for me all the time - is whether this endless war is the intended result of US actions or just an unwanted miscalculation."

Terrorism with a “Human Face”: The History of America’s Death Squads
A quote...."The recruitment of death squads is part of a well established US military-intelligence agenda. There is a long and gruesome US history of covert funding and support of  terror brigades and targeted assassinations going back to the Vietnam war. - As government forces continue to confront the self-proclaimed “Free Syrian Army” (FSA),  the historical roots of  the West’s covert war on Syria –which has resulted in countless atrocities– must be fully revealed."

War Addiction Default: America’s Political Dysfunction at Root is an Unwillingness to Cut War Spending
Quote of the Day...."I thought for a moment, trying to come up with a simple way to explain the peculiar politics of a fake democracy where two equally pro-capitalist, pro-imperialist parties vie with genuine bitterness for patronage spoils and legal bribes, all the while ignoring the real wishes and needs of the public, and then it hit me: it is really all about US militarism and the unwillingness of the either of the two political parties to admit honestly to to American people how much they are being gouged to allow the US government and its corporate owners to continue in their attempt to control the world. - It really is that simple." - Source:  PressTV - also posted at NationOfChange

How The Media Lies (Full Version)
Video - Alt - (YuTb - 1hr19min18sec - Apr 14, 2011) - Source:  AR -- A quote...."This eye opening long documentary film elaborates on the discovery of American media lies by comparing how news are delivered to the US population and to other countries around the world. The film provides a striking comparison of U.S. and international media coverage of the crisis in the ME zeroing in on how structural distortions in U.S. coverage have reinforced false perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for example. This pivotal documentary exposes how the foreign policy interests of American political elites–oil, and a need to have a secure military base in the region, among others–work in combination with Israeli public relations strategies to exercise a powerful influence over how news from the region is reported."

US imposes fresh sanctions on Tehran, including ban on Iranian media
Web Censorship Alert - Related Article - A quote...."The anti-Iran sanctions portion of the bill, among other economic features, blacklists the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) and its president Ezzatollah Zarghami and will block all the IRIB assets and prevent others from doing business with it. -- The sanction against IRIB is an attempt by the West to silence Iranian media. It is on top of another flagrant violation of freedom of speech by satellite providers Eutelsat SA and Intelsat SA which stopped the broadcast of several Iranian satellite channels in October." - Source:  PressTV

Haneen Zoabi and Her Mission
A quote...."Haneen Zoabi is an Arab Israeli member of Israel’s parliament, the Knesset.  She was elected in 2009 as a member from the Balad Party.  Balad is an Arab party that was formed in 1995 with the aim of “struggling to transform the state of Israel into a democracy for all its citizens.”  In the West, this is a perfectly normal goal.  But Israel’s Zionist ideology disqualifies it as a “Western” nation.  Thus Balad’s aim is in direct opposition to the Zionist idea of Israel as a “Jewish state,” a concept that Ms Zoabi labels “inherently racist.”" - Source: OpinionMaker - also posted at RedressOnline

More Tales From the Zio-Sphere....

Jewish [faux-Jewish, Kazarian] Mafia [a.k.a. Banksterism] tied to death of America
Must Read -- The decadel economic/warfare cycle & the US's decline made simple -- A quote...."The United States has endured many challenges since having reached its economic peak several decades ago. The wealth generated during the 1940s and 1950s carried the nation through several economic downturns. By the 1970s, much of this excess wealth had been depleted. -- As America’s economic decline was becoming more apparent, the nation’s ruling class convinced Washington officials to introduce a series of levers designed to reduce or even reverse the decline. I have discussed each of these levers in previous articles. -- The first lever introduced was the petrodollar in the early 1970s. [ a period when the US also went off the gold standard] The next was [so-called] free trade. This economic pillar of globalization was advocated in the 1980s, but was not pushed through Congress until the early 1990s. Since then, it has spread throughout much of the world." - Topix ||  The Ten Year Economic / Warfare Cycle  ||

An Appeal for Dictatorship Comes Out of the Closet at the New York Times
A quote...."True to form, the New York Times saw out 2012 by publishing another apology for dictatorship. In his op-ed, Louis Michael Seidman — Professor of Constitutional Law at Georgetown University - argues that the Constitution should be abandoned.  The suggestion is so preposterous that it is tempting to dismiss the article altogether, but to do so would be to miss some very revealing implications.  The article is not so much a suggestion of constitutional reform as an open call for dictatorship." - Source:  AmericanThinker

Three Ways Obama Carried Bush’s Tyrannical Torch, in Just One Week
A quote...."If one were looking for a way to demonstrate how faithfully the Obama administration had carried on the legacy of the Bush administration, this past week takes the cake, and no, I’m not talking about making Bush tax cuts on the middle class permanent. - In a matter of four days, President Obama ushered in three landmark decisions that further institutionalized the Bush administration’s penchant for abridging civil liberties in the name of national security, all the while making us less safe."

2. Indefinite detention without charge or trial

Judge: No TV broadcast of Guantanamo 9/11 trial - And the 9/11 cover-up continues....mpg
A quote...."OF what is the US military so terrified, in terms of broadcasting these proceedings?!? Could it possibly be that the process is anything but transparent, and these men have been railroaded in a kangaroo court, with nothing even remotely matching the hard rules of evidence necessary for a regular criminal trial in US courts?!? -- Just asking." -- *Michael Rivero* - Topix ||  9/11-Iraq-Torture Fables  ||

The Fed’s Real Agenda: Wealth Among the Ruins?
A quote...."If they only make us poor enough, then we’ll all be better off … if they can only make the currency that we work for, earn, save, and buy things with, worth a lot less … then we’ll be better off. -- Doesn’t make a lot of sense, does it? -- But it’s the kind of logic one would expect from those who believe we can spend our way to prosperity."

John F. Kennedy vs The Federal Reserve
A quote...."....without going through the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank. President Kennedy's Executive Order 11110 [the full text is displayed further below] gave the Treasury Department the explicit authority: "to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury." This means that for every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury's vault, the government could introduce new money into circulation based on the silver bullion physically held there. As a result, more than $4 billion in United States Notes were brought into circulation in $2 and $5 denominations. $10 and $20 United States Notes were never circulated but were being printed by the Treasury Department when Kennedy was assassinated."

Jim Sinclair: The Federal Reserve Has No Practical Option To End QE Without Collapsing Financial System
A quote...."Sinclair states that contrary to the Fed’s MOPE attempting to convince the market that QE will be phased out in 2013 as the economy recovers, There is no practical way that QE can cease here or in Euroland without a total and final collapse of the financial system. -- Sinclair points out that the entire derivatives market hinges on the Fed’s unceasing QE, as the moment QE ceases, the US bond market collapses and the Fed must debt monetize all required debt, which means if QE stops, it starts up again immediately and in a crisis mode."

US Federal Reserve System Should Be Nationalized
Special Note - A quote...."The United States is the only state in the world destitute of the right to issue its own currency. The role of central bank is carried out by the Federal Reserve System – a joint stock company created by 12 Federal Reserve Banks created in their turn by commercial banks on a territorial basis. -- The state has no money. The government issues bonds to receive its “national currency”, the Federal Reserve System prints notes and gives it to the state by buying its bonds. Then the government buys out the bonds and the money returns to the Federal Reserve with interest rates...."

Friday Night Dump: CBO Admits Error, Now Expects Another $600 Billion In Deficits From Obama Tax Cuts

Latvia’s Economic Disaster as a Neoliberal Success Story: A Model for Europe and the US?

In the last decade, the Bush Administration, seeking a Trojan Horse to privatize Social Security in the United States, applauded Chile’s disastrous privatization of pension accounts (turning many over to US financial institutions) even as that nation’s voters rejected the Pinochetistas largely out of anger at the vast pension rip-off by high finance." - also posted at AlethoNews

A quote...."The year is 2008.  In the US the housing bubble has burst, leaving major financial institutions with a large mess on their hands.  It will always be remembered as a time of failing banks, the ‘credit crunch’, plummeting stock markets and declining trade worldwide.  The causes of the financial meltdown are a complex interplay of forces, but at the core of the issue is Wall Street’s greed and risk-taking, as well as a failure on the part of regulators and the financial market to prevent the situation from exploding.   The end result on the world economy has been nothing short of disastrous.  Since 2008 we have seen too many reports of famine, joblessness and uprisings.

Corporate interests have too often used their dubious ‘science’, lobbyists, political connections and presence within the heart of governments, in conjunction with their public relations machines, to subvert democratic machinery for their own benefit.

Never!  As long as they continue to recycle petro-dollars into the US-NRE's bond market [Barnie's Bankster Buddies' little slush fund and wealth transfer mechanism] and support Israel's PNAC Protocols, specifically A Strategy For Israel in the 1980s, the Saudi Royal family will be allowed to exist.  On the other hand it should be noted Bernie's and his fellow Kazarian Bankster's Ponzi scheme, along with the PNAC Protocols, appear to be reaching their final culmination. When that happens the Saudi Royals may no longer be needed any more. They'll become expendable, as have so many of Amerika's so-called allies before them.  - mpg -- A quote.....

"Never make predictions in the Middle East. My crystal ball broke long ago. But predicting the region has an honourable pedigree. “An Arab movement, newly-risen, is looming in the distance,” a French traveller to the Gulf and Baghdad wrote in 1883, “and a race hitherto downtrodden will presently claim its due place in the destinies of Islam.” A year earlier, a British diplomat in Jeddah confided that “it is within my knowledge... that the idea of freedom does at present agitate some minds even in Mecca...” - bold by website editor

American Politics and the Innocent Children Killed
A quote...."January 02, 2013 "Information Clearing House" - Guns do not kill, people kill people. The crux of the problems which most politicians avoid seeing the mirror. War is killing people. America has the unparallel sophistication, know-how and the mindset to maintain this “business as usual.” Killing others transforms the American politics into a dehumanized global strategy being actively pursued by the institutionalized military-industrial complex in Washington."

The U.S. War Machine
A quote...."January 02, 2013 "Information Clearing House" -  Many supporters of Barack Obama are disappointed that he has not reversed the war policies of his predecessor. He did his best to continue the U.S. occupation of Iraq. The Afghanistan war rages far beyond what was seen under George W. Bush. Obama has also proved militaristic in operations in Libya, Yemen, and Pakistan, and in the sanctions against Iran. The attacks on civil liberties and human rights continue on the same path that Bush forged."

Why not make noise about everyone and anyone that dares criticize Israel. Why not refer to them as anti-Semites and ‘go after’ them as if they were nazis?? In doing so, it diverts the world’s attention from the ongoing genocidal polices conducted by Israel itself, including their system of apartheid which is gaining publicity via the international boycott campaigns.

New York Times Op Ed: “Let’s Give Up on the Constitution”
A quote...."This New York Times Op Ed by Louis Michael Seidman, a constitutional law professor at Georgetown University, is one of the most absurd and dangerous articles I have read in a very long time. This guy’s incredible conclusion is that it is the Constitution of the United States itself that is causing all that ails the nation at this time.  Not once did I read about the Federal Reserve, or the “war on terror,” or the banker bailouts, or the complete destruction of the rule of law in recent years.  Nope, none of that.  Instead, this scholar’s conclusion is that the founding document, which created the fertile breeding ground for freedom and free markets and led to tens of millions of people to flee to from all corners of the globe, is the problem." - also posted at ZeroHedge

Serfdom and the Feudal System: What’s Old is New Again
A quote...."The period of history from the 5th to the 15th century was known as the Middle Ages.  During this time, the law of the land in Europe was known as the “feudal system.”  This was the manner in which the upper 10% (the nobility) controlled the lower 90% (the serfs or peasants). -- There were a few kings who were very wealthy and powerful, who owned all of the land.  To maintain control of this land, it was broken into fiefdoms and pieces were given to friends of the kings (barons).  The barons then allotted land to their friends and allies in order to govern efficiently.  It was in this manner that the “nobility” was created, and the land passed down through these select few families by manner of inheritances."

The courts (funded by Tax Dollars) refuse to hear the matter of the 16th Amendment, and indeed Judge James C. Fox's comments on it in Sullivan Vs United States were peripheral to the issue before the bench in that case. But somewhere, sometime, the American people will and ought to get angry at the fraud perpetrated against them and their ancestors....."  -- *Michael Rivero*

Income tax - Don't be fooled by the word "income"
A quote...."Something to consider: The IRS, like the Federal Reserve for which it collects money, is a private corporation. Neither are actually a part of the United States Government. I would argue that the Federal Reserve itself is unconstitutional, since the money creation authority was vested in Congress by the Constitution cannot be transferred to a privately owned bank absent a Constitutional Amendment. However, given the difficulty and apparent fraud involving the ratification of the 16th Amendment, the money-junkies may have decided to avoid a second problematic amendment and did an end run around the Constitution with the Federal Reserve Act....." -- *Michael Rivero*

After all it has no debt interest expense to finance, and the only shortfall it has to plug is that created by its primary budget deficit (which as we showed earlier is "improving" on a year over year basis not because the economy is improving, but because the Greek government is simply refusing to pay its bills). So there is nothing more to do but sit back and wait while the economy slowly recovers, the unprecedented internal imbalance with Germany is gradually aligned, are the unemployment rate drops, (while hoping that the population does not die out first) right?....Wrong.

Empires of Illusion and the Credibility Trap - First They Come For the Weak
Special Note - A quote...."I came across an interview with Chris Hedges by the Canadian Allan Gregg which illuminates Hedges' thesis of the decline of the American Empire and the illusory thinking that accompanies it. Can the shock and meltdown of Karl Rove on election night be any better contemporary illustration of the power of selective thinking to delude a group of seemingly rational people to their own downfall?"

8 striking parallels between the U.S. and the Roman Empire
A quote...."Lawrence Lessig’s Republic Lost documents the corrosive effect of money on our political process. Lessig persuasively makes the case that we are witnessing the loss of our republican form of government, as politicians increasingly represent those who fund their campaigns, rather than our citizens. -- Anthony Everitt’s Rise of Rome is fascinating history and a great read. It tells the story of ancient Rome, from its founding (circa 750 BCE) to the fall of the Roman Republic (circa 45 BCE). -- When read together, striking parallels emerge — between our failings and the failings that destroyed the Roman Republic. As with Rome just before the Republic’s fall, America has seen:"

Another Victory for Hagee's Horde of faux-Christian, Zio-Worshiping, Armageddon Cultists, who are perfectly happy to help the AIPAC/Israel Consortium exterminate Christians and spread the Saudi Royals violent, Wahhabist, terror-cult across the Middle East in order to establish a "Greater Israel". - mpg

Let’s Give Up on the Constitution
This is being posted so people can pick up on it and comment on it.  It is so spectacularly egregiously over-the-top, so fundamentally flawed in analysis, such a complete anathema to what this country supposedly stands for that this website editor thought it could only have been written simply to generate controversy and therefore was hesitant to post it, thinking the author couldn't possibly be serious. After all he is practically advocating the tyranny of the few over the many, that the rule of men is preferable to the rule of law.   Yet the author might actually be serious, and it certainly shows the tenner of the times. - mpg

Do Zionists Control Wall Street? The Shocking Facts!

My videos are overwhelmingly approved by millions of viewers, and they average higher than 90 percent positive comments and comprise some of the highest rated political videos on the entire Internet. Viewers love these videos! But, the Zionists don't !"

In an Interview About Regulating Financial Markets Sir Evelyn de Rothschild Pays Homage to Keynes and Marx
A quote...."The Rothschilds are one of the wealthiest of the ruling class bloodlines and share the biggest piece of the global tax and land plunder with the Merovingian bloodline, then with the Rockefellers following close behind. - The hierarchy of these families is still heavily debated, but many agree that these three specific bloodlines have significant global influence."

By Omission, the New York Times Wipes Israel's Criminal Record Clean
A quote...."According to The New York Times, there is no siege of Gaza, no occupation of the West Bank, and never was there a  Nakba (the 1948 ethnic cleansing of Palestine). Three recent articles erase these key Israeli crimes from the historical record."

Israel lobby should not have veto over US president's cabinet
A quote...."Now comes Chuck Hagel, a Republican Senator who would normally also be easy to confirm in the Senate, as Obama's choice for Secretary of Defence. But unlike in the case of Susan Rice, there are real, substantive objections to real substantive positions he has held: he was an early critic of the Iraq war; he wants to get out of Afghanistan, soon; he does not want a war with Iran; and he has supported cuts in military spending. This makes him neocon enemy number one, someone who must be crushed."

The War Party and the Israel Lobby Wish for War With Iran in 2013
A quote...." The War Party and Israel lobby will be satisfied only if Iran is attacked and destroyed, which will inevitably lead to a much wider war in the entire Middle East."

Regulating the Militia – The Second Amendment is about protecting ourselves from the state
A quote...."My friend Brett Joshpe has published an uncharacteristically soft-headed piece in the San Francisco Chronicle arguing that in the wake of the massacre at Sandy Hook, conservatives and Republicans should support what he calls “sensible” gun-control laws. It begins with a subtext of self-congratulation (“As a conservative and a Republican, I can no longer remain silent . . . Some will consider it heresy,” etc.), casts aspersions of intellectual dishonesty (arguments for preserving our traditional rights are “disingenuous”), advances into ex homine (noting he has family in Sandy Hook, as though that confers special status on his preferences), fundamentally misunderstands the argument for the right to keep and bear arms, deputizes the electorate, and cites the presence of teddy bears as evidence for his case." - Source:  NationalReview - see related articles shown below.....

"The government and banks use anti-terror laws to stifle dissent." - As Naomi Wolf reports, they joined efforts to violently crush the occupy protests...."

"The violent crackdown on Occupy last fall … was not just coordinated at the level of the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and local police. The crackdown, which involved, as you may recall, violent arrests, group disruption, canister missiles to the skulls of protesters, people held in handcuffs so tight they were injured, people held in bondage till they were forced to wet or soil themselves – was coordinated with the big banks themselves....." - also posted at ZeroHedge & BLN

You’re Funding Your Own Destruction – Me? I’m done
A quote...."Let’s start with the fact that the people who passed the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and President Wilson, who signed it into law, committed an act of treason. - Article I, Sect. 8, Cl. 5: Only Congress shall have the power . . . to coin Money, and regulate the value thereof. - What the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 did was abrogate that power of Congress to create Money to a privately owned, for profit central bank called the Federal Reserve Bank without a Constitutional Amendment."

Awaken slaves! - How The Private Central Bank Ponzi Scheme Trapped And Destroyed America
Quote of the Day...."The Central Bank knows that those pieces of paper with ink are worthless. But while the Central Bank can just create those paper notes out of thin air (legalized counterfeiting), you may not. In order to pay that ever-growing debt you have to do what you are told to do by those who have some of those pieces of paper to hand out tell you to do. Work long hours. Invade a foreign nation that refuses to have a Private Central Bank. Torture innocent people to death to find weapons of mass destruction that do not exist to justify a war. Compromise your morals and integrity. Perform sexual favors. Whatever the purveyors of those pieces of paper want, you must do. That paper note is your slave chain. "

A matter of shared sacrifice
Second Quote of the Day...."Speaking to The Middle Class today, Barack Obama made a promise, pledging not to pursue spending cuts "that will hurt seniors, or hurt students, or hurt middle- class families." Such is the state of liberal politics today: the most our recently reelected progressive president is willing to offer his supporters is a pledge not to actively harm them." - also posted at AlethoNews

You Know How This Ends Right? This Ends Through War
A quote...."In 2006, when Americans were flying high on ever-expanding credit and double digit real estate growth, hedge fund manager Kyle Bass came to the conclusion that something was very wrong. He and his investors determined that a massive real estate bubble was forming in sub-prime mortgages. But rather than just making a prediction, they put their money where their mouth was, and took a $4 billion gamble that the real estate market was about to detonate. - At the time, many in the industry and within financial circles thought him crazy. - History, however, proves he was right."

When Priced in Gold, the US economy is at Depression-Era Levels
Chart - (click to enlarge) -- A quote...."Right now, the largest economy in the world is producing as much as it did in 1931, almost at the peak of the Great Depression. And no matter what the talking heads and politicians say, the data show that the trend is getting worse. Today’s figure is worse than last year, which was worse the year before. This trend of economic contraction goes back to 2001. - Curiously, this time period also coincides with the greatest expansion of debt and the monetary base in history. Hmmm. Coincidence?" - also posted at ZeroHedge

Afghanistan under U.S. occupation
Special Note - A quote...."There is nothing new in the opinion that has long been expressed regarding the similarity of the military action waged in Afghanistan, after the Soviet army entered the country on December 25, 1979, with the war waged by the U.S. Army in Vietnam. However this opinion leads us away from the truth. By putting its troops in Afghanistan, the USSR blocked the important routes of the world drug trade and forced the flow of drugs to bypass its territory. As for the Vietnam War, even in the United States the view dominates that behind the war in Vietnam were international drug cartels and the CIA, who unleashed the slaughter to eliminate the threat to their interests in Southeast Asia."
