Special Note - A
quote...."ATLANTA — That photo of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
riding one of the first desegregated buses in Montgomery, Ala.? He took
it. The well-known image of black sanitation workers carrying “I Am a
Man” signs in Memphis? His. He was the only photojournalist to document
the entire trial in the murder of Emmett Till, and he was there in Room
306 of the Lorraine Hotel, Dr. King’s room, on the night he was
assassinated. -- But now
an
unsettling
asterisk
must
be
added
to
the
legacy
of
Ernest
C.
Withers,
one
of
the
most
celebrated
photographers

For more on this see a quote from "The
Matrix" shown below.....
"The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when
you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers,
lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to
save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system,
and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these
people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured,
so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect
it." --- "....That means that anyone we
haven't unplugged is potentially an agent. Inside the Matrix, they are
everyone and they are no one. We have survived by hiding from them, by
running from them, but they are the gatekeepers. They are guarding all
the doors, they are holding all the keys, which means that sooner or
later, someone is going to have to fight them....." -- *

to
find
that
two

flown
into

and
two

out
of
communication with air traffic
control. My life, your life, and indeed, everyone on this planet's life
has not been the same since that terrible day. Some people's lives
prospered under the "new paradigm" of global and almost total police
state control and with two military invasions and occupations by the US
on two countries that did not attack us on 9/11/01."

Special Note - A
quote...."On
August 31st, President Obama spoke from the Oval Office, assuring us
that the War on Iraq had been launched to disarm a nation. Disarming a
nation is a criminal basis for a war, a fact that I wish would quit
getting lost in the madness of what we actually debate in this country.
But Obama's claim to have opposed this war that he funded as a senator
and continued as a president rests on the idea, not just that he was
lucky enough not to yet be in the Senate when it started, but that he
didn't at that time yet pretend to believe the lies. Now he finds it
important to put up that pretense when nobody else believes it anymore,
in order to urge us to "turn the page" on the crime of the century."

quote...."September 14, 2010 "Toronto Sun" -- The report, presided over
by the former deputy director of Britain’s foreign intelligence agency,
MI-6, says the threat from al-Qaeda and Taliban has been "exaggerated"
by the western powers. The US-led mission in Afghanistan has
"ballooned" out of all proportion from its original aim of disrupting
and defeating al-Qaeda. The US-led war in Afghanistan, says IISS, using
uncharacteristically blunt language, is "a long-drawn-out disaster". --
"Just recently, CIA chief Leon Panetta admitted there were no more than
50 members of Al Qaeda in
Afghanistan. Yet US President Barack Obama
has tripled the number of US soldiers there to
120,000 to fight Al

Special Note - A
quote...."Between 2001 and 2009, according to the Afghan government,
the country has received $36 billion in grants and loans from donor
nations, with the United States disbursing some $23 billion of
it. U.S. taxpayers have anted up another $338 billion to fund the
war and occupation. Yet from poverty indexes to risk-of-rape
assessments, from childhood mortality figures to drug-use stats, just
about every available measure of Afghan wellbeing paints a grim picture
of a country in a persistent state of humanitarian crisis, often
involving reconstruction and military failures on an epic scale.
Pick a measurement affecting ordinary Afghans and the record since
November 2001 when Kabul fell to Allied forces is likely to show
stagnation or setbacks and, almost invariably, suffering.. " -

Yeah, better really, really, really,
late....than never. Not
everyone can follow the new Chinese economic model of
course and
Cuba doesn't seem to have any natural gas or oil resources right now
whose
proceeds they can fritter away like Chavez is doing down in
Venezuela. On the other hand they don't want to wind up as an
economic basket case, so they're going to eventually have to
"compromise" some of their "Communist" values. Being highly aware
of
course that the US-NRE, due to the profligate expenses of its rather
large empire, will likely remain enmeshed in its own Great Recession
for many years to come. Something a "central planner", who lives
ninety miles away from this decaying, rotting, empire, needs to
seriously consider
before they attempt to plan their nation's transition from dedicated
communism to
"something else". No matter what that "something else" may be. -

Israel “is being isolated” or that it is facing a campaign of

Israeli group-think tank, published a remarkably delusional,
ahistorical piece of propaganda masquerading as a scholarly report and
warning of an internationally concerted effort that seeks to “erode”
Israel’s diplomatic status which “may develop into a comprehensive
existential threat within a few years.”

A quote...."John Williams,
arguably one of the best trackers of real, unmanipulated government
data via his Shadow Stats blog, has just released a note to clients in
which he warns that hyperinflation may hit as soon as 6 to 9 months
from today. With so many established economists and pundits seeing
nothing but deflation as far as the eye can see, and the Fed doing all
in its power to halt the deleveraging cycle, both in the open and
shadow economies, what is Williams' argument? Read on. Incidentally,
even if some fellow bloggers disagree with Mr. Williams' assesment, we
believe it is in our readers' best interest to have them make up their
own mind on this most critical economic development."
Hyperinflation is NOT
"inflation" (an expectation of a rise in prices) instead it's a
fundamental and rapid deterioration in a currency's value, coupled with
a scarcity in goods, at least according to the quote from a commentator
shown below. Just think of it this way folks, manufacturing
is
just

of the US-NRE's GDP of
which 40% is for the military. Or to
put it more plainly, we don't make anything except war and death, the
currency is worthless, and when people begin to realize that en mass,
you'll have a severe bout of hyper-inflation.
This website editor once put a
brand new, never opened, plastic bottle of clarified apple juice in the
freezer to chill down. Suddenly remembering it hours latter this
website editor was surprised to find it was still totally liquid --
that is until it was casually set down on the counter top with a slight
thump -- Whereupon this website editor proceeded to watch with
amazement as white crystals, starting at the top of the bottle, and
working their way slowly down to the bottom, kept growing larger and
larger until the bottle was almost completely frozen within one minute.
The apple juice formed more of a hard slush than solid ice, and it was
in a plastic bottle, so luckily it didn't explode while this
transformation was being witnessed.
It was however, quite a
remarkable demonstration of a rapid
change in state. - mpg
"....In actuality, the spark of
hyper-inflation has hardly anything to do with supply, but rather a rapid withdrawal of goods/services from the
market. (Note the velocity component - not on the monetary side
but the rapidity of abandonment of open exchange.) Given increasing
fears of default risk in the underlying hard asset(s) backing the $USD
(in this case, Ts & MBS), who would willingly exchange real assets
(oil, food) for officially approved legal tender?"
"Ben monetizing a few $trillion or so of Treasuries doesn't really put
sufficient new reserves/dollars into the system to create a push effect
(ie money chasing goods). Rather, the market wakes up (Mish's 'shazam'
moment) to the reality of what's driving Ben's actions and realizes the
USA ain't gonna make it. It is this loss of confidence and expectations
of heightened default risk that results in a pull effect as
goods/services flee open exchanges."
"As Gonza, FOFOA and others patiently explain, it is the government's
response to its critical need to acquire these goods/services at any
cost that then results in hard-core money printing." -- *B9K9*, on Tue, 09/14/2010 - 12:03 -

we can’t do that. I wish we could. I wish the media would DO THEIR JOB.

quote...."The United States is concerned about women worldwide. It is
touched and outraged by one Afghan woman, Aisha, whose nose was sliced
off by her Taliban husband. To defend her honor, it has killed hundreds
of thousands of her brothers and sisters. To protect her, it has
destroyed her country. It’s the principle that matters. We care about
the individual, at least those who are useful to our agendas. It’s the
masses we don’t give a flying whoopee about. How can we not raise our
voices, for example, when an imprisoned prostitute—hardly a criminal,
really, even less so than an adulterer—is left in a cage, to be baked
to death for at least four hours in 107-degree heat? Her captors
ignored her pleas for water. They wouldn’t even allow her to use the
bathroom, so she soiled herself before passing out. She was still
alive, however, when finally taken to the hospital, where doctors
allowed her to die. Incredibly, no charges have been filed. Such
barbarity and judicial callousness deserve our fullest condemnations,
except that hardly anyone has heard of Marcia Powell, 48, who died in
an Arizona prison in May of 2009. The mainstream media ignore her,
because her abject death cannot be exploited for political purposes.
We’re not trying to bomb Arizona." -

been implemented. Anyone who has been on an international flight has
experienced some of it first hand. Trillions of Dollars are spent on
the war on terror, while millions of people have lost their jobs and

trouble and the situation continues to deteriorate. The smug elitist
owners of the system are not getting the desired results and there is
great consternation among the players. Since 1913 in running US
monetary policy the Fed has had one recession after another and two
depressions. The second one is the one we are now in. The Fed’s
creation was mainly to end recessions and depressions, something
obviously they have been quite unsuccessful at. The reason is they
never intended to be successful. The fed was created by its owners to
bring them staggering profits, but more importantly, to control the
nation politically, economically and financially. The owner’s goal has
always been to implement world government

The

travel from middle England, across Europe and to New York
for the six year anniversary of the attacks, where the film takes one
final twist as we are introduced to the 9/11 first responders who are
suffering from various grave health difficulties due to the toxic dust
that they breathed in trying to help their country during the weeks
after this tragic event. Told with a personal hands on approach that
avoids advancing any one position, the film asks the question: are
these crazy conspiracy theorists? Or is 9/11 Truth a credible political
movement?"

"Lucky Larry" Silverstein and World Trade Tower 7 ---
http://www.frogstylebiscuit.com/node/710 --- Posted
by Mike 10 Sep 2006
Videos ---
http://www.wtc7.net/videos.html --- of Tower 7's collapse
show a sudden
vertical collapse, reminiscent of a controlled demolition. How could
fire damage cause such a collapse in a steel building?
Never
in history has a steel building collapsed due to fire, let alone in
such a quick, symmetrical fashion. During a
video interview ---
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7750532340306101329
--- in the 2002 PBS documentary
"America Rebuilds", Larry Silverstein shed some light on the mystery.
According to Silverstein: "I remember getting a call from the, uh, fire
department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were
gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, 'You know we've had such
terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is, is pull it.'
Uh,
and they made that decision to pull and then we watched the building
collapse." "Pull" is construction jargon for "demolish", short
for "pull down". Silverstein was saying that the fire department
demolished Tower 7. [See:

A quote...."It is no secret that both the household debt/income ratio,
as well as the debt service ratio (interest expense as a % of
disposable income) continue to be near all time high levels, albeit
slightly lower than recent all time records. In fact, the debt service
ratio has declined more in real terms than in nominal terms, making the
argument that the consumer deleveraging process might not be as
dramatic as some expect. Yet it is precisely when looking at the real,
and not nominal, value of a projected debt service burden, that
explains why consumers will continue to be faced with a crippling debt
regime, why deleveraging will continue, and why the economy will be far
weaker than the Fed expects for years to come. Goldman's Jan Hatzius,
who continues to be more bearish on the future prospects for the
economy than ever before, explains."

that no single power comes to control this geopolitical space [of
Central Asia] and that the global community has unhindered financial
and economic access to it.”[1] Brzezinski acknowledged in his book
that, “the pursuit of power is not a goal that commands popular
passion, except in conditions of a sudden threat or challenge to the
public’s sense of domestic well-being.”[2] He also wrote that, “The
public supported America’s engagement in World War II largely because
of the shock effect of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.”[3]"

the US administration would not have been able to install their

Karzai (a former employee of the UNOCAL oil company), could have become
the head of the post-Taliban government formed in the wake of the U.S.

Day...."The United States is not a normal country. If it ever
was one, it certainly isn't now. Its imperial foreign policy has long
made it special, and now that it’s the world’s lone superpower – with
an effective monopoly on aerial warfare, calling the shots as to who
can have nukes, claiming the unilateral right to start wars against
anyone – the U.S. government has become so belligerent, and especially
in remote lands, that American wars have become routine, its casualties
relegated to the back page. -- This decade has obviously been
especially bad. Nine years ago, the Twin Towers fell, the Pentagon was
hit, and the United States, its government and political culture, fell
under a spell of mass delusion that still shows no signs of abating. It
has been nine whole years since 9/11, and it is starting to look like
the "post-9/11" insanity that marked America under Bush has become a
permanent feature of the American landscape."

The

is
not

Great
Depression,
but
may
signal
a
far
deeper
social
crisis
than
occurred
during
the
1930s.
The

the
American
Century
created
the
economic
opportunity
for
the
U.S.
to
absorb
more
and
more
Americans
into
the
“middle

integrate
the
labor
movement
(until
it

systematically
destroyed)
and
accommodate
the
aspirations
of
racial
minorities and women. The
American Century made America America. -- The price required to
sustain this expanded middle class was increased corporate
consolidation, a permanent military-industrial complex and ever-greater
wealth inequality. For most Americans, this was a price they didn’t
know they were paying (deception is the corporate media’s principal
function) and, if they did know, they felt it was a price worth paying.
-- Now, as we come to the ninth anniversary of 9/11, a growing unspoken
awareness is spreading throughout the country. It silently asked
whether the post-WWII “miracle” has sputtered out and, most disturbing,
will likely never recur again."

rather
difficult when said evidence has been fabricated, removed, covered-up,

been obtained through torture, and witnesses have been
intimidated and even murdered. Not to mention the fact that most of the
accused are actually completely innoncent of any crime whatsoever."

Hussein Obama told the country (and the world) that we were no longer
at war there were killed on Tuesday, September 7, 2010. To those with a
shred of logic and common sense, this poses a problem: if we’re not at
war, how do we classify their deaths? If we’re not at war, as Obama and
Biden tell us, I guess that makes the deaths of these two soldiers the
equivalent of a training accident, or maybe the equivalent of a bar
fight gone wrong. If we’re not at war they aren’t combat casualties.
Obama and Biden have made it so. The insurgent who killed these
soldiers must not have gotten the word when Joe Biden was over there a
week ago. Someone needs to tell him the war is over and to go home.
Maybe Joe will go back and do that."

Yeah, better really, really, really,
late....than never. Not
everyone can follow the new Chinese economic model of
course and
Cuba doesn't seem to have any natural gas or oil resources right now
whose
proceeds they can fritter away like Chavez is doing down in
Venezuela. On the other hand they don't want to wind up as an
economic basket case, so they're going to eventually have to
"compromise" some of their "Communist" values. Being highly aware
of
course that the US-NRE, due to the profligate expenses of its rather
large empire, will likely remain enmeshed in its own Great Recession
for many years to come. Something a "central planner", who lives
ninety miles away from this decaying, rotting, empire, needs to
seriously consider
before they attempt to plan their nation's transition from dedicated
communism to
"something else". No matter what that "something else" may be. -

Place a few fruit flies in a bottle with a layer of honey at the

Similarly, add a few yeast cells to grape juice, seal the bottle, and
the cells will consume the sugar and turn it into alcohol. When the
alcohol rises to 12.5% it will kill off all the yeast, and the wine
will be ready for the table. -- Fruit flies and yeast in a bottle are

A quote...."There's a difference between being paranoid and being
suspicious. Paranoia is mental disturbance; suspicion is a rational
deduction. -- For example, if you suspect that America's economy,
politics, government, media, judiciary and practically every other
system has been wired to favor corporate interests over every other
interest in our country, you're deducing, not hallucinating. From the
infamous Wall Street bailout to the Supreme Court's shameful decree
that corporations have more political rights than humans, we see again
and again that corporate might overwhelms what's right."

the 9th Circuit

handed the Obama administration a major victory in its efforts to
shield Bush crimes from judicial review, when the court upheld the
Obama DOJ's argument that Bush's rendition program, used to send
victims to be tortured, are "state secrets" and its legality thus

"compromise" some of their "Communist" values. Being highly aware
of
course that the US-NRE, due to the profligate expenses of its rather
large empire, will likely remain enmeshed in its own Great Recession
for many years to come. Something a "central planner", who lives

gave President Barrack Obama six months to roll-out his doomed
Keynesian policies, twelve months to discover they were flawed and
eighteen months to realize that the solution to America’s problems must
lie within a different economic framework. I had hoped by the end of
twenty-four months to see new policies closer to an Austrian economic
philosophy emerge. I was wrong."

Article - A quote...."....store expansion models based on rosy
assumptions are followed like they can’t go wrong. -- What these CEOs
didn’t realize was that their expansion plans were based on lies and
frauds. If they had advisors who could give them a reality check, they
could have avoided the massive downsizing that awaits them. Their
hubris didn’t leave room for a reality check. The population of the US
has grown from 281 million in 2000 to approximately 308 million today.
We’ve had a 10% population increase in 10 years. Consumer expenditures
have grown from $6.7 trillion in 2000 to $10.3 trillion today. This is
a 54% increase over the course of the decade. Amazingly, real average
weekly earnings have only gone up by 6% in the last decade." - also posted at ZeroHedge

Charts - Bernanke couldn't sucker the foreigners

he's gonna push them into the long end (the riskiest part) of the bond
market?!? He's a shill for Goldman, Pimco, BofA, et al, what a
major a--hole!! - mpg -- A quote...."In an environment with
historically low interest rates, fixed income investors have been
pouring money into longer-duration securities, substituting three- and
six-month Treasury Bills with 10-year Treasuries or bond funds. -- To
an extent, this should not be so surprising: the Federal Reserve's
extraordinary monetary policies have resulted in extremely low yields
at the short end of the yield curve. Investors
seeking
yield

been
forced
out

the [long end of the] yield
curve or into increasingly risky investments in an attempt to
gain higher investment returns." - bold by website editor

in the destruction of the middle class. If you are part of the favored
elite, things are just fine. If you are savvy, you can still do well,
but for the person who simply expects to climb step by step via salary
to a better life, things are not so good. -- Michael Snyder has put
together a list of the changes that indicate the middle class is
shrinking. Note that much of the shrinkage of the middle class comes in
sectors where the government has put in programs to "help":"

20
Signs
That
The Health Care Industry Has Become All About Making As Much
Money As Possible

By The Numbers - A
quote...."Once upon a time in America, people became doctors and nurses
because they wanted to help people, building hospitals was a labor of
love, lawyers didn’t chase ambulances, health insurance companies did
not openly abuse their customers and greedy pharmaceutical companies
did not dominate the entire health care industry. But today all
of that has changed." -- Well it
wasn't all THAT nice back
then, think
of the original "snake-oil" salesmen. Now however the US-NRE's
get-sick-&-die-industry makes more
money
when they deliberately
kill people, which is a bit unusual for something called the "health
care" industry. - mpg -
