More Tales From the Zio-Sphere.... 

One of the Many Irrefutable Signs of Israel's Involvement

Philip Zelikow Speaks For The Makers of Terror  ---  http://disquietreservations.blogspot.com/2011/06/philip-zelikow-speaks-for-makers-of.html
Must Read - Philip Zelikow, the executive director of the 9/11 Commission, said in 2007 that people who believe in a different version of how and why the 9/11 attacks happened live in a different universe, implying that they are crazy freaks who should not be given any public attention. He made the comment at Chautauqua Institution when asked by Professor Paul Zarembka of State University of New York at Buffalo about his opinion on the evidence that eleven of the nineteen hijackers who were credited with 9/11 were found alive after the attacks occurred."   

This is one of the CLASSIC and irrefutable signs that Israel was directly involved in the attacks on 9/11 and was one of the many pieces of evidence that convinced this website editor of Israel's full complicity.   

For some extremely peculiar and bizarre reason Israel has for decades preferred to copy innocent travelers passports  --- http://www.reficultnias.org/mikesfiles/weblists/911-thepatsiestheirpassports&theirvisas-weblist-mpg-041710  ---  to equip their agents and others they've hired, when these agents and others are participating in clandestine operations abroad on behalf of Israel's security services.  More importantly Israel is the ONLY country to do so.   

It's an unbelievably stupid policy, some would even say crazy, because the real owners scream to high heaven when their names appear on TV, or pop up on a terrorist watch list, or even worse, they actually get investigated by their country's authorities.   

The tactic was probably kept in place because institutions like the Mossad are operationally conservative and they continued to implement the practice, no matter how stupid or bone headed it appeared to be at the time, so long as it was perceived to be successful from their point of view. 

Whoever got them to adopt the policy of copying innocent travelers passports to supply fake identification to their agents and patsies abroad, or how such operational procedures were created is still a mystery, and although one would be extremely hesitant to call this tactic "successful", it at least did not seriously compromise or damage Israeli intelligence operations until Israel's incredible three-stooges, key-stone-cops, "Debacle in Dubai" moment.

An operation which was so monumentally over the top, so blatantly embarrassing, so unbelievably stupid, and one which caused so much international outrage and public attention, that many governments "friendly" to Israel were finally forced to openly demand they discontinue their decades long practice of copying other citizens' passports.

It must be noted that the 9/11 commission did not investigate this issue at all, even though the US-NRE's many intelligence establishments were well aware of this practice by Israel's security services prior to 9/11 and even though many members of the commission were well aware of the dozens of credible reports that more than half the "terrorists" (people whose passports were copied) were still alive.  ---  http://www.reficultnias.org/mikesfiles/weblists/911-thepatsiestheirpassports&theirvisas-weblist-mpg-041710  ---  mpg

Keith Ellis. “Ellis has given a blank check to arbitrary global rule by U.S. military fiat – to endless wars that need no declaration, and to the end of international law as it has evolved over the centuries.”"

Our government in particular has seen fit to topple dictatorships, install new dictatorships, embroil our troops in the quagmire of nation building, instigate social instability and civil unrest, fund terrorist organizations, elevate madmen, and then brandish them like weapons to frighten the American public into relinquishing their civil liberties.

Bush as Commander in Chief ordered the U.S. military to cease-fire on February 28, 1991. Years later in his 1998 memoir A World Transformed, Bush admitted that the reason he chose to order the cease-fire was because he understood that advancing further into Iraq, a country that had not attacked the U.S., and overthrowing its government could easily be seen as an illegal war of aggression and thus warrant a call from the American people for his removal from office by the constitutional remedy of impeachment.

They have spent incredible sums on toxic equities (worthless equities, and don’t let anyone tell you different) to “ease” the debt spiral, they have propped up almost every large international bank, they have propped up the Federal Government and the Dollar itself with sizable purchases of our own Treasury debt, and, they have even thrown money into the pockets of foreign institutions and corporate beggars.

US-Led Commodity Boom: Fake Prices, Global Crises
  ---  http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2011/06/29/us-led-commodity-boom-fake-prices-global-crises.html 
Good Observation - A quote...."Because the separation of commodity prices from supply and demand fundamentals is still little appreciated, the freshly developed correlation between prices and stock markets is almost unknown outside narrow specialist circles devoted to studying these markets. Traditionally, higher commodity prices have not shown any consistent correlation to stock market performance, which makes perfect sense. Thus, on the one hand companies have to pay more for inputs when commodity prices are high, and are unable to pass all of these costs on to their customers. Historically, on the other hand, commodity prices have risen when economies are accelerating, which tends to be good for corporate profits (and stock prices). But the gradual financialization of commodities over the last two decades has generated a very different relationship between commodities and stocks, and for a simple reason: when financial markets are rising, asset managers have more money to invest, and now they can (and do) direct a portion of it into commodities (alternatively, of course, when stock markets are falling, asset managers are liable to withdraw some of their allocations to commodities)."

  ---  http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/50-u-s-health-care-statistics-that-will-absolutely-astonish-you 
Special Note - By The Numbers - A quote...."The U.S. health care system has become one gigantic money making scam, and you are about to see the statistics that prove it.  Today, the United States spends more on health care per person than any other country in the world by far.  The health insurance companies and the big pharmaceutical corporations are raking in gigantic mountains of cash and yet the quality of the health care that we receive in return is rather quite poor.  People living in Puerto Rico have a greater life expectancy than we do.  Residents of Cuba have a lower infant mortality rate than we do.  We are the most medicated population on the planet and yet we are also one of the sickest." - bold by website editor

• "We have plenty of money for war, Wall Street, and welfare for the rich."   
  
• "The Founders did NOT intend for America to be run by Wall Street."   
  

"Kucinich is correct.  The rationale for the Fed's existence is that Congress couldn't be trusted with the power to coin money, given their penchant for irresponsible spending.  The thinking goes that whichever party were in power would utilize massive spending (since deficits would no longer exist) as a means to guarantee (buy) their continued existence as the majority party.  So the Fed was created and the Constitutional authority to print our currency was handed to a group of private bankers."

This Is What Empires Do  ---  http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=25390 
Must Read - Quote of the Day...."I'm sure that somewhere, in a university or institute, researchers have produced an analysis that measures the rise in the number of armed conflicts as a ratio of the increase in economic instability as capitalism goes into one of its periodic meltdowns. Meltdowns that almost invariably end in large-scale war/s as a means of consuming surplus capital, taking out competitors, getting rid of surplus labour, grabbing new markets, extending the sphere of empire... yada, yada, yada…  I must say that I get angry when left writers still talk of the Empire 'winning' or 'losing' Afghanistan, Iraq or wherever the latest land-grab is taking place.  -- Surely it must be obvious that it's the act of being there that counts? Occupation, as they say, is nine tenths of the imperial law. Wherever in the world the Empire has gone to 'install democracy' or whatever the excuse used to invade, it has stayed, every single time and built bases, hundreds of them now cover the world. --  This is what empires do." - bold by website editor

A Nation's Priorities Exposed - People in this country can't stop the ever increasing number of wars, or the tortures, murders and mayhem being committed worldwide in their names, or the shredding of this nation's constitution, or the pedophiles and perverts who molest them each day at our airports, or giving tens of trillions of dollars of their hard earned money to the Banksters, or the increasing impoverishment of this nation's entire population.  But what they CAN do is help this nation become the New Roman Empire and support "gay" (no such thing of course) "marriage".  WOW!  Nice going folks, guess the ENTIRE world now has a really good idea of exactly what this nation's priorities are.  --  As we plunge ever deeper into a war ravaged police state and a never ending economic depression, everyone who becomes homeless, or watches their kids suffer from the lack of decent medical care, or watches their sons or daughters come back home in a body bag....this is what YOU, or at least the representatives YOU voted for, consider important.  Remember that, because this website editor sure will. - mpg - Topix ||  Let's Bring Back Polygamy - 08-21-04 - mpg  ||  ---  http://www.reficultnias.org/mikesfiles/blotterminiblogs/letsbringbackpolygamy-mpg-reficultnias-082104.html

The S&P 500 has returned 3.0% YTD compared with 2.7% for  the typical large cap core mutual fund and 1% for the average hedge fund." It gets worse: "Investors of all styles are lagging their benchmarks. With just a week to go before mid-year, 78% of the large cap growth mutual funds are lagging the 3.6% return of the Russell 1000 Growth Index by a median of 150 bp. Similarly, 63% of large-cap value mutual funds lag the Russell 1000 Value index. Just under half (49%) of core funds are underperforming the S&P 500."

9/11 is the Litmus Test.  ---  http://www.opednews.com/articles/genera_les_visi_080224_9_2f11_is_the_litmus_t.htm 
From the History File - February 26, 2008 at 10:09:22 - A quote...."There is one thing that defines everyone over the course of these early years of this new century. That thing is the 9/11 attack. Everyone in government and every field of endeavor the world over is defined by their position on this event. It is not necessary to know the truth. It is only necessary to know the extent of the lies in order to define any leader in any position anywhere in the world. By what they have said and by what they have not said, one can accurately judge who is an enemy of the people’s of the world. One can accurately determine who is a tool of the psychopaths or one of them. -- Think about what you allow yourself to know. Think about what you pass by; ignore, deny and defend ...that defines you. It defines the degree of your personal courage, your relationship to the truth, your values, your principles and what you will pass on to your children and everyone you meet. It tells you in that place where your conscience must once have lived whether you are a hypocrite and a fool or whether something greater still lives within you." - also posted at SmokingMirrors  ---  http://smokingmirrors.blogspot.com/2008/02/911-is-litmus-test.html

Why we love to hate conspiracy theories: 911 Truth as threat to the intelligentsia
  ---  http://activistteacher.blogspot.com/2010/09/why-we-love-to-hate-conspiracy-theories.html 
From the History File - Sunday, September 12, 2010 - A quote...."Especially left and liberal professionals and service intellectuals but also right-wing members of the intelligentsia vehemently attack and ridicule “conspiracy theories” such as the present 911 Truth movement.  --  Why?  --  It’s as though power did not covertly orchestrate its predation of us? Is that not the modus operandi of power?  --  Is it so difficult to believe that the complex and highly successful military attack on US soil that was 911 (levelling three gigantic sky scrapers, blasting a hole into the Pentagon, and destroying four commercial jets and their passengers) was not orchestrated by a religious zealot from a cave in Afghanistan and executed by failed Cessna pilot trainees with box cutters? Or that those who measurably benefited in the trillions had nothing to do with it?" - also posted at AlethoNews

Database - A quote...."When an event occurs that that fundamentally changes the dynamics of global geopolitics, there is one question above all others whose answer will most assuredly point to its perpetrators. That question is "Qui bono?". If those so indicted are in addition found to have had both motive and means then, as they say in the US, it's pretty much a slam-dunk.  ---  And so it is with the events of 9/11.  ---  Discounting the 'Official narrative' as the absurdity it so clearly is, there are just two organisations on the entire planet with the expertise, assets, access and political protection necessary to have both executed 9/11 and effected its cover-up to date (ie the means). Both are Intelligence Agencies - the CIA and Israel's Mossad - but only one had a compelling motive - Mossad. That motive dovetailed perfectly with the Neocon PNAC agenda, with it's explicitly stated need for "...a catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor" [1] in order to mobilise US public opinion for already planned wars, the effects of which would be to destroy Israel's enemies."

Second Quote of the Day...."This Fourth Turning was as predictable as the seasons. The American Revolution Crisis ended in 1794. The Civil War Crisis arrived 66 years later in 1860. That abbreviated vicious Crisis ended in 1865. The Depression/World War II Crisis arrived 64 years later in 1929. Our current Crisis arrived in the 2008/2009 time frame, exactly 64 years after the end of the last Crisis. Strauss and Howe wrote their book in 1996. They knew we had about a decade to prepare for the looming winter ahead. We had time to fortify, prepare, save, not waste our seed corn on foreign adventures, and reduce all non-essential spending. Not only did we not do what needed to be done, we did the exact opposite of what needed to be done." - bold by website editor

Brainwashing the Corporate Way  ---  http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=25388 
A quote...."A key to training professionals is what Schmidt calls “assignable curiosity”. Children are naturally curious, but along the way to becoming a professional they learn that curiosity is a series of tasks assigned by others. On entering training, students are optimistic and idealistic. On leaving, they are “pressured and troubled” because they realise that “the primary goal for many is getting compensated sufficiently for sidelining their original goals”. I have met many young people, especially budding journalists, who would recognise themselves in this description. For no matter how indirect its effect, the primary influence of professional managers is the extreme political cult of money worship and inequality known as neoliberalism."

Greenspan’s loud statement on Greece may be a “sound curtain” to prepare the global community to a default by the US... Strategically, it makes no difference if a default by Greece is possible in the near future or it will be delayed by means of infusion of ten billions euros into the national economy from abroad. The result will be the same in both cases: first a deflationary shock and than – hyperinflation. Nevertheless, if Greece receives the economic help from abroad the US will have more time to prepare the scenario of the managed hyperinflation of dollar"

A quote...."While the world is looking at Ft. Calhoun, TEPCO dumped - or is still dumping all its radioactive water into the ocean.  The radiation from the melted reactor cores is so bad that even the small drone 'helicopter' they tried to fly over the plant to 'gather air samples' was cooked by the radiation and crashed onto the roof of reactor 2.  Not a surprise."

Bernanke Channels Benchley  ---  http://lewrockwell.com/north/north997.html 
A quote...."Ben Bernanke gave his second-ever press conference on June 22. -- Before I offer my assessment, I think it is wise to make you aware of a long-forgotten film: a 1931 movie short by Robert Benchley, one of the supreme humorists of his era. Benchley came on-screen as an economist. He provided information on why the economy was about to turn around. (It wasn't.) The depression was over. (It wasn't.) The recovery was just around the corner. (It wasn't.) Then he offered the appropriate evidence. The people in the theaters fully understood. Once you see this video, so will you. Professor Bernanke will never seem quite the same."

Retirement As We Know it Is “Dead”: EuroPacific’s Pento
  ---  http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/retirement-know-dead-europacific-pento-175638657.html 
A quote...."In the past many retirees could count on accumulated stock market wealth to help fund retirement. Not so much anymore. As of this writing, the S&P 500 is now no higher than it was in January of 1999. For over 12 years the major averages have gone nowhere in nominal terms and have declined significantly in real (inflation adjusted) terms. The dreams of becoming rich from investments have crashed along with Pets.com and Bernie Madoff. Then there is always the supposedly safest asset of all -- a retiree's home." - bold by website editor

But data from a paper on the job- and income-growth of top earners shows that stock prices in some socialized countries, relative to themselves and adjusted for inflation, have done considerably better than those in the U.S over the last two and a half decades." - First off, a government doesn't necessarily have to be "big" to be socialist.  Second, we have plenty of socialism here....for the wealthy "one percent". - mpg

Is the Chinese Economy Sputtering for the Same Reasons as the American Economy?
  ---  http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2011/06/is-chinese-economy-sputtering-for-same.html 
A quote...."It was tempting to believe that China was different. - With its command and control economy with some of the trappings of free market capitalism, trillions in reserves, and abundant natural resources, many thought that China would "decouple" from the Western world's problems and sail into a prosperous future. - However, despite its long history, exotic names and seemingly strong position, China cannot avoid the rules of economics which have applied to all countries throughout history."
