in Brussels while Pakistani security forces blocked only one, an done
wonders why, of two vital NATO supply routes – a mere symbolism rather
than an actual act of reciprocal hostility. Even worse was President
Zardari’s request to the CIA Chief not to breach Pakistan’s

Special Note - A
quote...."On February 1, 2009, former high-level Wall Street and
government insider, Catherine Austin Fitts, explained it an article
headlined, "Financial Coup d'Etat," saying: -- A global
financial cabal "engineered a fraudulent housing and debt bubble;
illegally shifted vast amounts of capital out of the US; and used
'privatization' as a form of piracy - a pretext to move government
assets to private investors at below-market prices and then shift
private liabilities back to government at no cost to the private
liability holder....Clearly, there was a global financial coup d'etat
underway," its magnitude overwhelming and incomprehensible to most
people, as planned."

A quote...."Over the last decade our government has essentially
"de-supervised' America's financial sector and turned it over to the
perpetrators of one of the largest swindles in history. This swindle
originated with the securitization of tens of thousands of fraud-based
mortgages, i.e. near-worthless mortgages that were fraudulently bundled
together and (thanks to government deregulation and no supervision)
sold, criminally."

Related Article - A quote...."Jan Hatzius is on a roll these past two
days: after first debunking any myths that QE2 will be less than $1.5
trillion in total, thereby confirming the dollar's days as a reserve
currency are numbered, now he is out to prove to Obama and his incoming
chief economic advisor whichever Mark Zandi that may be, that there is
no Santa Claus. To wit: "We see two main scenarios for the economy over
the next 6-9 months—a fairly bad one in which the economy grows at a
1½%-2% rate through the middle of next year and the unemployment
rate rises moderately to 10%, and a very bad one in which the economy
returns to an outright recession. There is not much probability
of a significantly better outcome.
The reason is that “short-cycle” factors
such as the inventory cycle and the impulse from fiscal policy are
likely to continue deteriorating through early 2011, keeping GDP growth
very sluggish." That pretty much sums up why stocks will
continue being completely irrelevant as an indicator of reality for
about a year longer." - bold by website editor

readers will recall, at the end of July, which was the most recent TIC
data update, China owned $847 billion in US Treasury bonds. Since then,
the world's reserve currency, which is what said Treasuries are

even more jarring observation is that from its June highs, the USD has
dropped 12.4%. Expressed in real terms from the perspective of China's

creditor has lost over $100 billion when adjusted for the purchasing

investigation of 9/11. For this, he has been branded a “wingnut”
and
“evildoer” by the American press. -- However, the 9/11 Commission
itself asked for a criminal investigation, saying it uncovered a
conspiracy and was prevented from getting the truth. They were
quickly
silenced. -- 9 years later, top scientists from around the world,
supported by engineers, architects, military and intelligence officials
agree on one thing. What thing is that? We will never know.

Reporting that “one thing” would be the last thing any member of the
press would ever do. A day later, they would become unpaid
bloggers

Today, ownership of the news media has been concentrated in the hands

corporate
behemoths control most of what we watch, hear and read every single
day. They own television networks, cable channels, movie studios,
newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, music labels and even many of
our favorite websites. Sadly, most Americans don't even stop to think
about who is feeding them the endless hours of news and entertainment
that they constantly ingest. Most Americans don't really seem to
care
about who owns the media. But they should. " -

and continuing irrational-fear of the unknown. Think of this as you
would of someone yelling "FIRE" in a crowded theater, when there is no
fire at all. The resulting panic can cost lives, and will create havoc
in that small place. But when a government or several governments
collude to scream "TERRORISM," using unclear and unfounded "security"
claims as their only justification-then that is different not just in
the size of the audience affected, but with the added political-lie
that is policy-based; the result is to terrify and threaten the world
at the same time as they continue to build the future depicted above."

attempt which shattered the country on September 30. The passing of a
law affecting the police officers' bonuses and job benefits became a
pretext for the rebellion which erupted in the capital city of Quito
and the Guayquil seaport town. Actually, the law was not supposed to
entail pay reductions, but those who masterminded the coup managed to
convince the police that it would and thus provoked the uprising." -

freeze ends, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked
settlers to show "restraint." It is an interesting choice of adjective,
for people who show restraint are the injured and outraged; they are
victims who although entitled to a full measure of justice settle for
less to maintain good will and harmony. In the context of the West Bank
settlers and Israel's illegal colonization no adjective could be less
appropriate. Yet unwittingly it also reveals the mendacity behind
Israel's whole approach to these negotiations."
