How Bankers Own the Earth And Then Some… --- http://theintelhub.com/2011/07/01/how-bankers-own-the-earth-and-then-some%E2%80%A6/
Must Read - Quote of the Day...."Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. -- However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money.“ -- *Josiah Stamp*

I Didn't Fight For Your Freedom --- http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article28485.htm
Must Read - A quote...."I didn't fight for your freedoms. In the six years I was in, I never once defended your right to vote, or to carry a gun, or to be secure against unreasonable search and seizure (that one doesn't really apply anymore, anyway), or any of the other things you enjoy as a citizen of this country. I just didn't. Neither did anyone who went to Iraq, or Afghanistan, or Vietnam. It's all bullsh-t. It's a f-cking lie that we tell ourselves and each other so that we don't have to think about why we send young men and women to serve, suffer, and die for old men's vainglorious ideas and profit margins."

Perpetual Motion - Why the War Machine Keeps on Running --- http://www.counterpunch.org/spinney07052011.html
Special Note - A quote...."Today, the United States is locked in a throes of perpetual war, and our politics are dominated by its political handmaiden, perpetual fear. If you doubt this, just think about the recent expansion of drone assaults to Libya and Somalia or your next invasive pat down in an airport or the continuation of the onerous Patriot Act. Some critics believe perpetual war is driven primarily by the lust for empire. No doubt, empire lusting is a factor, but for the reasons I explained in The Domestic Roots of Perpetual War, I believe perpetual war is primarily the issue of a deadly mutation of domestic politics, particularly the imperative to prop up a sclerotic Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex (MICC) -- a political-economic faction that lost its raison d'être when the Cold War ended, and now needs the perpetual threat of war, to pump money through it, if it is to survive and flourish on its own terms, at the expense of others." - also posted at ICH --- http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article28490.htm

The Elite [Parasites] Are Not Even Trying To Hide How Much They Hate The U.S. Constitution Anymore
--- http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/the-elite-are-not-even-trying-to-hide-how-much-they-hate-the-u-s-constitution-anymore
A quote...."In the United States today, it is becoming increasingly fashionable to openly trash the U.S. Constitution. Many among the elite are not even trying to hide how much they hate the U.S. Constitution anymore. As the Patriot movement and the Tea Party movement call for a return to the principles that this nation was founded upon, many among the elite and in the mainstream media are responding by publicly dumping on the U.S. Constitution. The level of vitriol that we are seeing for our founding fathers and for our Constitution is unprecedented. It turns out that the U.S. Constitution does not fit very well with the benevolent futuristic "Big Brother" totalitarianism that they want to impose on all of us." -- also posted at PrisonPlanet

Throw his ass out of office as fast as you can. When you see this. Know this for a fact. They just betrayed the people they are supposed to serve for 30 pieces of silver. They are suck ups to the unelected bureaucracies for grant money with strings attached meaning violating your God given rights to get this funding.

More Tales From the Zio-Sphere....
Riposte Against Zionism: Go Tell It To The People --- http://www.bobtuskin.com/2011/07/05/riposte-against-zionism-go-tell-it-to-the-people/
Must Read - A quote...."Archimedes once said, “Give me a place to stand and I will move the world.” In the preceding articles in this series (listed below after my bio), I have developed the basic theses of my analysis that define the place we stand now, and where we must stand if we wish to alter the world Zionism has contrived for us. One is that we must focus our attention on the edifice of Zionist influence and control in the US, and not be mesmerized by events in and around Palestine. Another is that our efforts to date, with the partial exception of the BDS (Boycott, Disinvestment and Sanctions) campaign, have been ineffectual at best and counterproductive at worst. And the third, most critical point is that the gate to containing Zionism is in the US; the lock to the gate is in the heartland of the US and not Washington; and the key to that lock is the Israeli orchestration of 9/11 and its spin-off wars."

From the History File - 08.31.2010 - A quote...."Any serious effort to understand the extraordinary influence of the Zionist power configuration over US foreign policy must examine the presence of key operatives in strategic positions in the government and the activities of local Zionist organizations affiliated with mainstream Jewish organizations and religious orders." - also posted at AlethoNews

Former IDF General Rothschild gets red carpet treatment while Sheikh Raed Salah gets prison cell
http://www.middleeastmonitor.org.uk/articles/europe/2562-former-idf-general-rothschild-gets-red-carpet-treatment-while-sheikh-raed-salah-gets-prison-cell
A quote...."With what is appalling timing, given the arrest of Sheikh Raed Salah a week ago on the order of the Home Secretary Theresa May, a certain Major General (ret.) Danny Rothschild is speaking in London on Monday 4th July at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) in Whitehall; he will follow this on Tuesday 5th with a speech in parliament organised by the Henry Jackson Society, the fanatically pro-Israel think tank. While it is not unusual for high-ranking Israeli military and political officials to be visiting such institutions, the red carpet treatment of Israeli "Defence" Forces veteran Rothschild stands in stark contrast to the treatment of Palestinian leader Sheikh Raed Salah, arrested on the strength of tabloid gossip and Israel Lobbyists' pressure, and little else." - also posted at Uruknet --- http://www.uruknet.com/?p=m79263&hd=&size=1&l=e --- & AlethoNews

The secular Fatah party and Salam Fayyad, the Palestinian Authority’s prime minister, were among those condemning his arrest."

Nahlal arose in the place of Mahlul; Kibbutz Gvat in the place of Jibta; Kibbutz Sarid in the place of Huneifis; and Kefar Yehushua in the place of Tal al-Shuman.

Eric Sprott: "Paper Markets Are A Joke: Prepare For Bullion Prices To Go Supernova"
--- http://www.zerohedge.com/article/eric-sprott-paper-markets-are-joke-prepare-bullion-prices-go-supernova
Gold Bug Alert - A quote...."I think that the prices will continue higher. I mean the amount of money printing is unbelievable. I just think you have to take that initial stand in terms of buying it. I use the James Turk analogy: just keep dollar averaging. We have gone up eleven years in a row, this year it looks like it will be no exception; I would certainly think next year will be no exception. If we ever have QE3 announced, I think gold and silver will just go absolutely bonkers here. And so I just think you have got to step in there and own it; we’ve had these fears all the way along. You know, $400, and $500 and $700 and $800 dollar gold, everyone was afraid it was a one-time thing. I don’t think it is a one-time thing, I think it is a secular thing. It’s going to carry on for quite a while here until we find some resolution of these problems. And the resolution probably will be some form of default where people just have to expunge debts that cannot be repaid. So, you have got to be in some asset which will not be affected by that."

Instead of Funding Retirement Accounts As Mandatory, Treasury Proceeds To Plunder The Most Since Debt Ceiling Breach
--- http://www.zerohedge.com/article/instead-funding-retirement-accounts-needed-treasury-proceeds-disinvest-most-debt-ceiling-bre
For All You Fed Employees Out There - A quote....."As the chart below shows, while at the end of every quarter, the US Treasury is traditionally supposed to fund a quarterly payment into the various government retirement funds (previously discussed here), this time around, instead of putting in even one penny into G and CSRD Funds, Tim Geithner has decided to defraud government retirees by the most since the US debt ceiling was breached, or, specifically, since intragovernmental "holdings" became a mere plug to make room for marketable debt. So while the debt held by the public increased by $21 billion following the settlement of last week's auctions, in order to stay under the $14.294 billion ceiling, the Treasury was forced to "disinvest" another $20 billion from retirement funds. At this point the various funds that fall under this umbrella are underinvested by at least $120 billion and likely much more."
