WikiStink  ---  http://dissidentvoice.org/2010/12/wikistink-2/
Must Read - (An outstanding analysis) -- A quote...."Over a quarter of a million diplomatic cables, marked – “secret” , “confidential”, or “unclassified” – to and from the US State Department have been “leaked” to the public, presumably by a whistleblower. On the surface, it seems like the sort of thing that restores power to the people. It arms us all with knowledge and reminds those in power that they must answer to the public. -- Then you pause to think. And that’s when the holes in this narrative become obvious." - also posted at AlethoNews  ---  http://alethonews.wordpress.com/2010/12/01/wikistink/

Ho Hum More Wikileaks "Chickenfeed"  ---  http://www.veteranstoday.com/2010/10/23/gordon-duff-ho-hum-more-wikileaks-chickenfeed/
Must Read - (Ditto) - Related Article - A quote...."What does it prove, any of it?  For sure, we see one thing.  Everything leaked is carefully screened to have nothing of real value.  With Mossad running around Mosul, operating out of Erbil, supplying and advising the terrorist PKK, not a word is mentioned.  Instead, poor Iranians are swimming the Euphrates with explosives strapped to their chests. -- Get real. -- Thousands of tons of explosives were “mislaid” in Iraq.  The US failed to secure Saddam’s weapons depots which were looted.  These stockpiles were vast.  The idea that anyone would need to bring weapons into Iraq is insane, simply another Israeli ploy to pre-stage an attack on Iran.  Any fool can see this in seconds."

Must Read - (Ditto) - Related Article - A quote...."Much ado about old news -- What are Wikileaks telling us? That Saudi Arabia poured oil on the flames against Iran? We already knew that. That Abbas' administration as well as the Egyptian government were very well informed about Israel's genocidal military assault on Gaza in the winter of 2009? There is nothing new about that either. The list goes on and on, and the main victims of embarrassment are leaders of Arab governments. But what is so new about that? Doesn't almost every Arab in the world who reads newspapers, watches Al Jazeera and has a certain degree of understanding of Middle East politics, already know about the extent and scope of secret relations in the region? Even many people living outside of the Arab world are largely aware of this." - also posted at WarInIraq  ---  http://www.iraq-war.ru/article/238581

If there were ever ANY doubts that the five mass-media corporate conglomerates,  ---  http://involuntaryservant.blogspot.com/2009/03/bought-and-paid-for-central-bankster.html  ---  who control ninety percent of the dis-infotainment output in the US-NRE are unduly, some would say totally, controlled by members of the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium and the US-NRE's "Jewish community",  ---  http://www.reficultnias.org/mikesfiles/weblists/judeochristianconflictcontrolwithinus-weblist-mpg-010409  ---  the Wikileaks "leak" has permanently laid them to rest.

For ten long years the mass-disinfotainment-media remained utterly and totally silent regarding that blatant false-flag event called 9/11.  ---  http://www.reficultnias.org/mikesfiles/weblists/reficultniass911central-mpg-reficultnias-weblist-100409.html  ---  For ten long years the mass-disinfotainment-media remained utterly and totally silent about most of the so-called "revelations" contained in the newest batch of "Wikileaks". Revelations which were already well known and which had already been extensively covered during the last ten years in millions of articles and videos posted to tens of thousands of websites on the world wide web or distributed through other alternative conventional media outlets.

But now we have this "treasure trove" of carefully selected dis-info which strenuously, and obviously, avoids any mention in its over 250,000 "cables" of a single activity or operation carried out by the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium during this last decade while also coincidentally containing many patently false claims whose sole purpose for inclusion would appear be an attempt to further many of Israel's already stated geo-political objectives.

A "treasure trove" that has been literally blasted far and wide and is practically being carried non-stop, 24/7, on every single mass-media dis-infotainment outlet in the nation.

Frankly, one would have thought they would have tried to be a bit more subtle. - mpg

Special Note - From the History File - Nov 29th 2010 -- A quote...."9/11 News Central Editors Note: With the new release of documents by Wikileaks, it has once again brought their credibly into question. That being said, it is well documented that the so called leaked documents have done absolutely nothing but further the goals of the establishment. -- Here is the article i posted when the Afghan War Diaries were first released. As you can see many credible journalists and whistleblowers believe that Wikileaks is run by certain intelligence agencies."

Special Note - A quote...."The online publication of a quarter-million documents chronicling diplomatic exchanges is notable both for what’s omitted and what’s included. To determine whether this latest release was a form of espionage, analysts need only examine how this treasure trove of trivia was peppered with documents certain to damage U.S. relations. -- To identify its origins, analysts must answer a key question: Cui Bono?

And we reject any challenge to Iran.”

Former German prosecutor and first commissioner in charge of the UN probe, Detlev Mehlis, seemingly doctored evidence to cover up his country’s involvement.

'Without the control of the Bankers, there would be no wars'  ---  http://circleof13.blogspot.com/2010/12/without-control-of-bankers-there-would.html
A quote...."Why should the Government pay interest to a private banking system for the use of its own money, that it could issue itself without interest? This is exactly what the Social Crediters of the "Michael" Journal demand, when they urge the Federal Government to take back its power to issue the money for our country. Two famous Americans, industrialist Henry Ford (pioneer of the U.S. car industry) and inventor Thomas A. Edison (who, despite having attended school for only three months, managed to patent more than 1,000 inventions), also agreed with that proposal. What helped Ford and Edison, two great friends, to reach this conclusion is that they reasoned like engineers, who consider only facts and the physical laws of nature, contrary to most economists, who deal with arbitrary notions that many times do not fit with facts."

True totals of Russian tactical nuclear weapons is a tightly-held secret, but the Federation of American Scientists estimated last year that Moscow has nearly 5,400 of them, with about 2,000 deployed."

Meet The 35 Foreign Banks That Got Bailed Out By The Fed (And This Is Just The CPFF Banks)
  ---  http://www.zerohedge.com/article/meet-35-foreign-banks-got-bailed-out-fed-and-just-cpff-banks
Chart - (click to enlarge) -- A quote...."One may be forgiven to believe that via its FX liquidity swap lines the Fed only bailed out foreign Central Banks, which in turn took the money and funded their own banks. It turns out that is only half the story: we now know the Fed also acted in a secondary bail out capacity, providing over $350 billion in short term funding exclusively to 35 foreign banks, of which the biggest beneficiaries were UBS, Dexia and BNP. Since the funding provided was in the form of ultra-short maturity commercial paper it was essentially equivalent to cash funding. In other words, between October 27, 2008 and August 6, 2009, the Fed spent $350 billion in taxpayer funds to save 35 foreign banks. And here people are wondering if the Fed will ever allow stocks to drop: it is now more than obvious that with all banks leveraging the equity exposure to the point where a market decline would likely start a Lehman-type domino, there is no way that the Brian Sack-led team of traders will allow stocks to drop ever... Until such time nature reasserts itself, the market collapses without GETCO or the PPT being able to catch it, and the Fed is finally wiped out in one way or another."

It's an Anglo-American World  ---  http://thedailybell.com/1571/It-Is-an-Anglo-American-World.html
A quote...."It's an Anglo-American world. The recent spate of revelations about the Federal Reserve disbursement to Europe during the height of the financial crisis, and this current article (excerpted above) provide further proof (as if anymore were needed) that the locus of money power is the Anglosphere, not Israel, not the EU, not Germany. We are not surprised that when Europe needs money it turns to America, and that America's Federal Reserve proved to be the lender of last resort. The Fed, obeying orders from Congress just named recipients of $3.3 trillion in emergency Federal Reserve aid; funds it disbursed in 2008 during the height of the financial crisis. Among them were U.S. branches of overseas banks. Bloomberg explains:"

House May Block Food Safety Bill Over Senate Error  ---  http://www.rollcall.com/news/-201012-1.html
Thank God for the constitution. - mpg -- A quote...."A food safety bill that has burned up precious days of the Senate’s lame-duck session appears headed back to the chamber because Democrats violated a constitutional provision requiring that tax provisions originate in the House. -- By pre-empting the House’s tax-writing authority, Senate Democrats appear to have touched off a power struggle with members of their own party in the House. The Senate passed the bill Tuesday, sending it to the House, but House Democrats are expected to use a procedure known as “blue slipping” to block the bill, according to House and Senate GOP aides."

World At A Boil With War And Economic Crisis
  ---  http://theinternationalforecaster.com/International_Forecaster_Weekly/World_At_A_Boil_With_War_And_Economic_Crisis
Special Note - A quote...."There is no question that the world is at a boil. Germany is drawing anger; N. Korea has attacked S. Korea; flaying about the FED’s Mr. Bernanke blames China for America’s sad economic and financial dilemma; five suits, class action and RICO, have been filed against JPMorgan Chase and HSBC for having manipulated silver prices and class actions are rumored to be in process for naked shorting, which has been rampant in the market for years, a felony hedge fund investigation of insider trading, which the SEC has absolutely refused to pursue. The US is still occupying Iraq and has a war raging in Afghanistan to protect the opium and marijuana crops, the largest in the world, which generate $300 billion in profits a year. Socialists, having recently relinquished power in the US House of Representatives are calling Republicans an axis of depression. The socialist, what they cannot control, they attempt to destroy. It reminds us of Italy’s communists. -- The New Fed policy of QE2 is considered by US detractors to be a step too far. The Fed has entered the inner sanctum of realm of no return. If QE 2 and a hidden QE3 don’t work, then the monetary game is over. The Fed is in a desperate position and instead of letting depression take its course, the groundwork of which was caused by the Fed, Wall Street and banking, it is again rolling the dice intent on extending and buying time."

Appointed by President Obama on February 18, 2010, co-chaired by two longstanding champions of Wall Street: ex Senator Simpson (R, WY) and former Clintonite White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles. The Commission Report issued November 10 proposes to slash social security payments, reducing recipients to poverty, raise the retirement age to 69 ensuring that millions of workers will die before they can retire, or enter retirement in ill health; reduce or freeze cost of living increases through inflation indexes which understate by half the rises in food, gas, hospital and education. The Commission proposes deep cuts in Medicare, increased Medicaid co-pays and slashing $54 billion from graduate medical education. The Commission proposes to eliminate tax breaks including deductions for home mortgage interest payments while taxing employer provided medical insurance." - To all those stupid morons out there who just can't stop voting for Demos or Repubs and who just love the empire in all its criminal glory....this budget's for YOU!! - mpg

Obama to freeze wages of Fed workers  ---  http://www.presstv.ir/detail/153230.html
A quote...."US president Barack Obama has proposed a two-year freeze on wages of nearly two million federal workers, as part of an attempt to curb the country's mounting deficit. - White House officials say the plan would apply to all civilian federal employees and is expected to save over $5 billion over the next two years." - bold by website editor

That's right folks, and all you Libertarians out there should pay close attention.  Obama is going to freeze the wages of federal workers for TWO YEARS and save....hold on to your hats now....here it comes....get ready....five whole billion dollars.  Ain't that amazing? Five billion dollars....WOW!  Floors you don't it? Bet you folks out there didn't know it would be so large? (roll the eyes, shake the head in utter disgust....)

This nation a little more than a year ago handed over thirty TRILLION DOLLARS  ---  http://www.reficultnias.org/mikesfiles/weblists/thefederalreserveandthe30trillion-weblist-mpg-080101  ---  in various back-stops, guarantees, ZIRP4'eva loans, toxic asset purchases and other programs of federal largess to a bunch of filthy rich Banksters who than handed themselves hundreds of billions of dollars in bonuses.  ---  http://www.reficultnias.org/mikesfiles/weblists/havingfunwithyourtaxdollars-weblist-mpg-reficultnias-110808.html  ---  We're now in a second round of support for these financial parasites called QE2, and we'll soon to be headed into a third round called QE3 and it won't end there.

Or to put it another way, five whole billion dollars would pay for less than two weeks worth of military expenditures for the ongoing illegal, immoral, vicious, and criminal occupations in the Middle East.

But Obama is going to save five whole billion dollars by freezing the wages of two million federal workers for two years. Well, guess it sure tells you about this nation's priorities don't it? - mpg

Federal Magistrate Orders CIA to Produce MKULTRA Records

Oh my goodness, this is going to be rather difficult to handle for all those people out there who constantly complain  about the "9/11 truth movement", after all, they endlessly prattle on and on about how "conspiracies" are impossible even though there's been several thousand, well documented "conspiracies" that have occurred in just the last fifty years alone.  From Iran-Contra to the Bankster Bail-Outs and who really benefited, to the recently exposed US-NRE sponsored Guatemalan STD medical experiments.  Some of which were kept "secret" for decades.

But what the heck, for all those morons out there who choose to remain living in ignorance and suffer the consequences for doing so, such as dying....they should just go ahead and revel in their collective stupidity.  One would hope however they would at least have the common decency and simple courtesy to NEVER, EVER ask anyone else who tried to discover the truth -- and live by that truth -- to pay for THEIR self-inflicted state of complete and total denial.

One would probably hope in vain however, in fact you can just picture it in your mind's eye, all the whining, complaining, crying little morons wondering the streets of this nation for the next ten years plaintively wailing at the top of their lungs "where did all our money go" and "why did Johnny came back from Iraq with DU induced cancer" and "Jack come back in a body bag" and "why don't I have my home or job anymore" and blaming absolutely everybody else in the whole entire world -- but themselves.
