The People against Wall Street: The Fed`s Quantitative Easing Violates the Rule of Law
  ---  http://ampedstatus.com/we-need-a-rally-to-restore-the-rule-of-law-andor-the-constitution
Must Read - A quote...."The Federal Reserve represents global banking interests who have overstepped their legal authority. Their Quantitative Easing program is an explicit violation of the Constitution. By deliberately devaluing the dollar and causing the price of basic necessities to rise, the Federal Reserve is, as a matter of strategic policy, sacrificing a significant percentage of the US population for the benefit of a few global bankers. In the process, they are also igniting a global currency war that threatens the security of the American people. In clear terms, the Federal Reserve’s actions represent a declaration of war against the people of the United States." - also posted at GlobalRsrch  ---  http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=21956

A quote...."Cantor's mistake was not telling Prime Minister Netanyahu what everyone knows is true anyway, but telling the world what he said. -- This is the classic Washington definition of a gaffe (i.e., inadvertently speaking an inconvenient truth). -- In this case, the gaffe produced a firestorm. -- And this is where I consider the possibility that Cantor simply doesn't understand what he's doing. -- After all, he has been an AIPAC cutout since he first was elected to office.  He's been to more AIPAC meetings than he can probably count.  And he should have figured out by now that the lobby is extremely careful, obsessively careful, to always emphasize loyalty to the United States while simultaneously endorsing Israeli policies that undermine our foreign policy objectives. -- AIPAC officials never, ever, say that when push comes to shove their loyalty is with Israel not the United States.  In fact, the accusation that this is the case is the charge AIPAC hates most. -- But the soon-to-be Majority Leader came right out and said it: Israel, right or wrong. -- It took a few days for Cantor to understand how utterly offensive his statement was.  (He might have heard from a few Tea Party types who, say what you will about them, tend to take their patriotism seriously.) -- So today Cantor explained he was misunderstood.  His inconvenient truth, his gaffe, was replaced by a laughable untruth."

From the History File - 2008 November - A quote...."This estimate of total U.S. direct aid to Israel updates the estimate given in the July 2006 issue of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. It is an estimate because arriving at an exact figure is not possible, since parts of U.S. aid to Israel are a) buried in the budgets of various U.S. agencies, mostly that of the Defense Department (DOD), or b) in a form not easily quantifiable, such as the early disbursement of aid, giving Israel a direct benefit in interest income and the U.S. Treasury a corresponding loss. Given these caveats, our current estimate of cumulative total direct aid to Israel is $113.8554 billion." - also posted at GlobalRsrch  ---  http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=6784  ---  bold by website editor

You have heard your parents and your grandparents talk of all that they have lost, all that was taken from them, the friends and relatives they have seen killed, how the brutal, stifling occupation has bred extremism (often funded and promoted by the occupiers) that has riven your society, and how all hope of an ordinary peaceful life has been taken from your family, and from you. -- You are 13 years old. One day, you see some soldiers of the occupation army. They are bristling with weapons and body armor, they are protected by watchtowers, helicopters, they are equipped with radios that can call down a missile or an airplane to destroy your home in a matter of minutes. Their very presence is a harsh, mocking, inescapable emblem of your family's pain and degredation. And so, on this day, you pick up a stone -- a stone -- and throw it, in a weak and futile gesture, at these impregnable figures. -- And for throwing this stone -- a stone, a small, hand-sized fragment of stone -- this is what happens to you...."

After the risky trading activities at supposedly safe institutions such as AIG they want to be reassured that the gold reserves are still the exclusive property of the US and have not been used to fund risky transactions."

AIPAC Bares All to Quash Lawsuit   ---  http://original.antiwar.com/smith-grant/2010/11/14/aipac-bares-all-to-quash-lawsuit/
A quote..."On Nov. 8, 2010, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) filed a massive 260-page motion [.pdf]   ---  http://www.irmep.org/ila/11082010rosenvaipac.pdf  ---  in the District of Columbia Superior Court. It asks Judge Erik Christian to dismiss former AIPAC employee Steven J. Rosen’s $20 million defamation suit. In October the court dismissed all counts of the March 2009 lawsuit   ---  http://irmep.org/ILA/rosen/default.asp  ---  except for Rosen’s claim of harm over AIPAC statements to the press that he did not uphold its standards of conduct. Rosen and AIPAC have – until now – abstained from filing damaging information about the internal workings of AIPAC in court. AIPAC’s willingness to publicly air some extremely sordid and revealing content to get the remaining count thrown out before an alternative dispute resolution hearing begins in December is a sign that AIPAC is now fighting for its life, or – as one former AIPAC attorney put it – “reason for being.” If Rosen proves in court that AIPAC has long handled classified information while lobbying for Israel, the worn public pretense that AIPAC is anything but a stealth extension of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs – from which it emerged in 1951   ---  http://irmep.org/ILA/AZCPA/  ---  will end forever."

Foreign Affairs - Remaking the Middle East   ---  http://www.palestinechronicle.com/view_article_details.php?id=16416
Must Read - A quote...."The title from this issue of Foreign Affairs struck me as rather odd, in particular the subtitle 'New Challenges Call for New Policies. Are the U.S. and Israel Ready to Change Course?' (September/October 2010) The U.S. has been trying to remake the Middle East for quite some decades now as it gradually took over the role of the British and French as the local imperial power. -- The first article “Beyond Moderates and Militants - How Obama can Chart a New Course in the Middle East” struck me as a non-starter as Obama has done nothing to do away with Bush’s heritage and has extended it further east with another surge into Afghanistan and incursions and covert actions into Pakistan. The authors introduce Obama with what I perceive as an error in that “the Obama administration has rejected…the worldview of the Bush administration.” Perhaps rhetorically with vague talk about change and hope, neither of which offer any practical solutions, leaving Obama’s actions to speak for themselves: unconditional support for Israel; kowtowing to AIPAC; supporting military occupation as a theoretical means to bring peace into the region; and basically not challenging any of the previous actions of the Bush administration. His appointees in a variety of positions within the executive are mainly from the previous Bush and Clinton administrations."

The Torturers Revisited   ---  http://mycatbirdseat.com/2010/11/paul-balles-the-torturers-revisited/
Must Read - A quote...."The Trial is a novel by Franz Kafka, first published in 1925. One of Kafka’s best-known works, it tells the story of a man arrested and prosecuted by a remote, inaccessible authority, with the nature of his crime never revealed either to him or the reader. -- The theme developed a familiar ring to it following the imprisonment of “enemy combatants” in Guantanamo.  Echoes of such places come from another Kafka story, “In the Penal Colony”, where everyone is guilty simply because they’re there. If they weren’t guilty, they wouldn’t be there. -- This was the kind of assumption made by the torturers at Abu Ghraib or the jailers in secret CIA prisons around the world or the guards at Guantanamo.  You can be sentenced without trial or defence."

Blind Man's Bluff: Hitchens Pays Obeisance to His One True God
   ---  http://chris-floyd.com/articles/1-latest-news/2050-blind-mans-bluff-hitchens-pays-obeisance-to-his-one-true-god.html
Must Read - A quote...."

Of course what Hitchens is doing here -- as even his sycophantic interviewer realizes -- is describing exactly what has happened in Iraq because of the invasion. It is in fact an excellent description of the conquered nation's fate at the hands of the monstrous assault that he has championed. 

-- And yet he has somehow convinced himself that the rape of Iraq has prevented what he has seen happen right in front of his eyes, year after year after year. Obviously, somewhere in his mind, he dimly knows the truth; that is, his brain has registered the undeniable fact that that Iraq has indeed become a “vortex of violence and meltdown, a whole society beggared and fractured and traumatised.” But this present reality – which has come about precisely because and only because of the invasion and occupation which he still defends – has been transposed into what he now believes were his fears of what could happen if Iraq had not been invaded. -- 

One could charitably attribute this befuddled backward projection to the wretched side effects of chemotherapy -- were it not for the fact that Hitchens has been demonstrating this same moral blindness for years...." - bold by website editor - for more on this issue see....

The deal was that he would carry on with Bush's bailout of the banks, with Bush's two wars, with Bush's suppression of civil liberties, that he wouldn't prosecute or even investigate any of the enormous fraud that had brought down the country, or the lies that had railroaded it into war."

Must Read - A quote...."By Cindy Sheehan -- "We’re all in this together,” is the chorus the ruling class loves to sing while it simultaneously bestows “quantitative easing” upon banks after imposing “savage austerity” measures on the working class. -- I have been worried about Obama’s Bowles-Simpson “Cat Food Commission” (CFC) on reducing the deficit since it was announced, and it turns out my worries were well founded. -- Besides suggesting raising the retirement age to an ungodly 69, savage cuts to Social Security and Medicare are proposed. Who needs Social Security and Medicare? Not the elite, but they are not forgotten in the CFC plan, the CFC also proposes to REDUCE taxes on the top earners from an already too low 35 percent, to an absolutely obscene 23 percent! Obama is following the international sport of the ruling class of forcing the least advantaged in society to pay for the crimes and excess of the One-Percent Club -- those who sit at the top of the economic food chain controlling at least 50 percent of the nation’s wealth."

Special Note - A quote...."November 14, 2010 "Information Clearing House" -- -- In late September the FBI carried out a series of raids of homes and anti-war offices of public activists in Minneapolis and Chicago. Following the raids the Obama Justice Department subpoenaed 14 activists to a grand jury in Chicago and also subpoenaed the files of several anti-war and community organizations. In carrying out these repressive actions, the Justice department was taking its lead from the Supreme Court’s 6-3 opinion last June in Holder v. the Humanitarian Law Project which decided that non-violent First Amendment speech and advocacy “coordinated with” or “under the direction of” a foreign group listed by the Secretary of State as “terrorist” was a crime."

By the way , if this law were applied across the board to everyone, regarding the tens of billions of dollars in US-NRE support over the years for groups such as al-Qaeda, PKK, MEK, MKO, PJAK, Baluchistan separatists, Jundullah, Kurdistan separatists, Iranian separatists, Jihaddists, Salafists, Mujahedeen, Wahhabists, the SCIRI death squads, the Sunni guerrilla groups, the awakening council members, Afghan Warlords, Afghan and Pakistani tribes, Fatah (in Palestine), PLA (in Palestine -- both against Hamas) and other assorted "freedom fighters", "bad boys", "militias" "military contractors", "mercenaries" or "friends", - and this incomplete list is just for the Middle East alone....we'd be looking at a minimum of 150,000 to 250,000 US-NRE citizens going to jail for their support of "terrorism". Most of them from the military, CIA, State Department or Federal Government.

This website editor will be looking forward with a great deal of interest as this law is fully applied, without exception, to every single person  in this country who's involved with these sort of "support" activities. - mpg
