bloodthirstiness among the nations of the Middle East, where violent
religious extremists are praised and supported -- and often hold state
power. A lot of this is hype and misinformation, of course, but
sometimes it's all too true. From the Guardian..."

fired the entire magazine of his automatic rifle into a 13-year-old
Palestinian girl and then said he would have done the same even if she
had been three years old was acquitted on all charges by a military

Special Note - A
quote...."today the Iraq war was declared over by Barack Obama. As his
troops return home, Iraqis are marginally freer than in 2003, and
considerably less secure. Two million remain abroad as refugees from
seven years of anarchy, with another 2 million internally displaced.
Ironically, almost all Iraqi Christians have had to flee. Under western
rule, production of oil – Iraq's staple product – is still below its
pre-invasion level, and homes enjoy fewer hours of electricity. This is
dreadful." -

that killed over 4,000 U.S. troops. However, around 50,000 American
service personnel will stay to train and support Iraqi forces. They
will be able to take part in combat, but only if the Iraqis ask them
to. Still analysts say Baghdad doesn't control the country, which

troops left Iraq as the administration touted the beginning of the end
of the Iraq War and a change in the role of the United States in that
country. Considering the continued public frustration with the
war effort, and with the growing laundry list of broken promises, this
was merely another one of the administration’s operations in political
maneuvering and semantics in order to convince an increasingly
war-weary public that the Iraq War is at last ending. However,
military officials confirm that we are committed to intervention in
that country for years to come, and our operations have in fact,
changed minimally, if really at all."

A quote...."The predominant attribute of American elites is a refusal
to take responsibility for any failures. The favored tactic for
accomplishing this evasion is the "nobody-could-have-known"
excuse. Each time something awful occurs -- the 9/11 attack, the
Iraq War, the financial crisis, the breaking of levees in New Orleans,
the general ineptitude and lawlessness of the Bush administration --
one is subjected to an endless stream of excuse-making from those
responsible, insisting that there was no way they "could have known"
what was to happen: "I don't think anybody could have predicted
that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked
airplane as a missile," Condoleezza Rice infamously said on May 16,
2002, despite multiple FBI and intelligence documents warning of
exactly that. One finds identical excuses for each contemporary
American disaster. Robert Gibbs just invoked the same false
excuse: that "nobody" knew the depth of the financial and
unemployment crisis early last year."

several western politicians considered a declaration of reviving the

their dealings with Russia. - "At time of the withdrawal from East
Europe, the NATO secretary general promised the USSR it could be
confident that NATO would not expand over its current boundaries,"
Putin said. - "And where is it? I asked them [NATO officials] about
this. They have nothing to say. They deceived us in the rudest way." --

Israeli Jews to be annihilated. Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the spiritual
leader of Israel’s Shas party, HAS called, more than once, for the
Palestinians (and, in fact, all Arabs) to be exterminated. -- As
reported by the mainstream Western media, Ahmadinejad called for Israel
to be “wiped off the map”. What that meant, it was asserted, was the
destruction, the driving into the sea, of Israel’s Jews. -- What
Ahmadinejad actually called for was the de-Zionization of Palestine.
His actual words were to the effect that he wanted the Zionist state to
disappear as the Soviet Union had done. In other words, there would be
a place in a de-Zionized Palestine for all Jews who wanted to stay and
live in peace with their fellow Arab citizens."

A quote...."Gadi Taub’s NYT oped on the coming negotiations is so
problematic, ahistorical, Israeli-centric, and rife with elisions, it
reads like… well… a lot of other stuff cluttering the pages and
electrons of said publication. -- It leads off with the rhetorical
question, “Will Israel remain a Zionist state?” – as if this is the
most important issue to be tackled at the talks. Not “Will the
systematic and willful oppression and dispossession of the Palestinian
people finally come to an end?” (Which all sane observers are doubtful
will be the result.) Then he sets up the Zionist left’s desperate,
tiresome good guys vs. bad guys frame: the pious seculars vs. the evil
religious nuts." -

A quote...."RAMALLAH // Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, faces
a crisis of credibility among his own people as he heads into direct
talks with Israel in Washington this week. -- Perhaps nothing better
illustrates this than a rather awkward security crackdown Thursday in
Ramallah, when leftist factions convened a meeting to protest against
Mr Abbas’s decision to accept the US invitation to the talks. Security
officials justified the actions of dozens of plainclothes security
officers, who disrupted the meeting and prevented a press conference
from being held, as a legal measure against an “illegal rally”. -- But
privately, Palestinian Authority officials expressed their dismay at
what looked to most like an effort by security services to stifle
dissent. -- And dissent there is. -- All Palestinian political
factions, bar one, have denounced the direct talks, some in harsher
language than others."

by all sides, including the US, for its illegal construction of

A quote...."Israel began constructing the wall in June 2002 following
its invasion of cities in the West Bank, which it dubbed "Operation
Defensive Shield." In retrospect, the invasion appears to have been a
prelude to the construction of the wall and no one recognized the
significance of the invasion's code name at the time. The immense scale
of the 2002 invasion -- characterized by the destruction of Palestinian
civilian infrastructure, mass arrests, assassinations and massacres --
ensured that the construction of the wall would commence with as little
resistance as possible."

Easy

Marc Faber ---

A quote...."INTERNATIONAL. Marc Faber the Swiss fund manager and Gloom
Boom & Doom editor said the market will eventually perceive
the easing moves, announced by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke last Friday,
as being inflationary and that the next five years could be a possibe
disaster for Treasury bonds investors. -- "It is a fallacy to believe
that easy money and the purchase of treasuries will boost economic
activity in the US," Faber told Bloomberg in a phone interview from
Thailand. -- "Money will flow into equities at least over the next
couple of weeks, and into commodities," Faber said. -- "Over the last
two years we eased massively in the US and where did the growth take
place? In Asia". -- "So when we talk about job creation, do you think
that Intel or a small businessman will hire more people in the US
because of further monetary printing?" he asked. -- "No! they will
build factories in Asia and hire poeple in Asia and all the monetary
policies in the US create mis-allocation of capital and unintended
consequences," Faber said."

Mrkt Tech Note - A
quote...."As part of the Fed's latest QE iteration, it has already been
made clear that despite initial disclosures that the Fed would stay in
the 2-10 Year bound of Treasurys, Ben Bernanke is now also gobbling up
the very long end of the curve. For all those who are, therefore, still
confused why bonds continue to surge to record levels, don't be: when
there is a guaranteed bidder just below you in the face of the Fed, and
who you can turn around and sell to at will, there is no pricing risk.
The problem, from a bigger stand point, is what happens when the Fed is
actively buying up 30 Year bonds with impunity and the much desired (by
the Fed) inflation still does not appear? Well, the Fed then, in
Michael Pento's opinion, will begin to purchase stocks and real estate.
And as all those who enjoy comparing the US to Japan can attest,
outright purchases of securities by the Japanese government is a
long-honored tradition in the ongoing fight with deflation in Japan." -

MONEY to do so. - mpg

As Obama's fiscal stimulus dries up and the private sector slashes
spending, demand will continue to collapse pushing more
businesses and households into default. The economy is now caught
in a reinforcing downward cycle in which dwindling fiscal and monetary
support is shrinking the money supply triggering a slowdown in activity

all, where hard-working people could build their own small businesses
in their own communities and live prosperous and fulfilling lives.
But
now a collusion of state and corporate interests that Celente describes
as "fascism" have conspired to help only the biggest companies and the
richest Americans. This has put a shocking amount of the
country's wealth in the hands of a privileged few and left the rest of
the country to subsist on chicken-feed wages and low job satisfaction
as Wal-Mart "associates" -- or worse." - bold by website editor

my
articles will recall that I have warned as far back as December 2006,
that the global banks will collapse when the Financial Tsunami hits the
global economy in 2007. And as they say, the rest is history. --
Quantitative Easing (QE I) spearheaded by the Chairman of Federal
Reserve, Ben Bernanke delayed the inevitable demise of the fiat shadow
money banking system slightly over 18 months. -- That is why in
November of 2009, I was so confident to warn my readers that by the end
of the first quarter of 2010 at the earliest or by the second quarter
of 2010 at the latest, the global economy will go into a tailspin. The
recent alarm that the US economy has slowed down and in the words of
Bernanke “the recent pace of growth is less vigorous than we expected”
has all but vindicated my analysis. He warned that the outlook is
uncertain and the economy “remains vulnerable to unexpected
developments”"

quote...."Not everyone has been doing badly during the economic turmoil
of the last few years. In fact, there are some Americans that are
doing really, really well. While the vast majority of us
struggle, there is one small segment of society that is seemingly doing
better than ever. This was reflected in a recent article on
CNBC in which it was noted that companies that cater to average
Americans are doing rather poorly right now while companies that market
luxury goods and services are generally performing exceptionally
well. So why aren’t all American consumers jumping on the
spending bandwagon? Well, it seems that there are a large number
of Americans who either can’t spend a lot of money right now or who are
very hesitant to. A stunningly high number of Americans are still
unemployed, and for many other Americans, there is a very real fear
that hard economic times will return soon. On the other hand,
there is a significant percentage of Americans who are blowing money on
luxury goods and services as if the economy has fully turned around and
it is time to let the good times roll. So exactly what in the
world is going on here?"
