Must Read - (The Chilcot Inquiry: Britain’s 9/11 Commission) - From the History File - January 4, 2010 -- A quote...."All too often, official inquiries are conducted by the very people who should themselves be under investigation. -- In this respect, Britain’s Chilcot Inquiry on the Iraq war bears a distressing similarity to the 9/11 Commission. -- In a remarkable symmetry, both inquiries involve a Jewish Zionist historian, who not only advised his country’s leader to go to war against Iraq, but actually provided the ideological justification for that unnecessary war."

Israel: Using Wikileaks to Build a Straw Man  ---  http://www.middle-east-online.com/english/?id=42920 
A quote...."From the day the first batch of Wikileaks appeared in the international press, the Israelis were crowing "this is good for us". Seizing on documents demonstrating that some Arab leaders bear ill-will toward Iran, the Israeli spin machine went into action. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu boasted that “Our region has been hostage to a narrative that is the result of 60 years of propaganda, which paints Israel as the greatest threat”, claiming that Iran had, in fact, eclipsed the Palestinian issue as the number one concern of the Arab World. Another prominent Israeli official gloated that "Iran was now ten times more important than Palestine" and that it was now time to shelve the "peace effort" and focus attention on Iran. -- My first reaction was "how silly, yet predictable". My second was "how dangerous"."

Now there is a thousand file sharing sites that have put up his encrypted “data bomb” and a couple hundred other dissent sites that have set up mirrors for all that “truth” that he has been leaking one little bit at a time. What do you think is going to happen to those sites once the shit hits the fan? Well, they will all be shut down of course for national security reasons.

This method was used to begin, and repeatedly to escalate, the Vietnam War, as recorded in the Pentagon Papers. Setting aside the question of whether the United States should have entered World War II, in either Europe or the Pacific or both, the fact is that our country was unlikely to enter unless attacked. In 1928 the U.S. Senate had voted 85 to 1 to ratify the Kellogg-Briand Pact, a treaty that bound — and still binds — our nation and many others never again to engage in war." - Topix ||  Effective Fed Funds Rate & The Ten Year Cycle  ||  ---  http://www.reficultnias.org/mikesfiles/cachedfiles/fedfundschart-photopg-cached-032407

Must Read - A quote...."At first, we were told the American economy was a freight train; invincible. After the derivatives and mortgage crisis began in 2007-2008, we were told the problem was a mere blip in our financial timeline; nothing to be concerned about. In 2009, we were told that the recession was over, and that “green shoots” were on the way. Later, they said we were “turning the corner”, whatever that means. In 2010, we were told it was time to get used to the “new normal”, which of course has yet to be clearly defined. Now, at the cusp of 2011, the year which many establishment economists originally claimed would bring a bright new era in U.S. employment and finance, it has become clear to much of the public that we are being deliberately herded with empty words and false promises towards a very dangerous and uncertain future." - also posted at GlobalRsrch  ---  http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=22307

China #1, United States #2? 25 Facts That Prove The Transition Is Really Happening

Special Note  - Multiple Links -- A quote...."On a recent episode of The Office, Michael Scott spent much of the show bemoaning the fact that China could soon become the number one economic superpower.  Of course by the end of the episode everyone had concluded that the United States would continue to be number one indefinitely, but in the real world things are not so simple.  Sadly, the cold, hard facts reveal that China is on the rise and the United States is experiencing a dramatic economic decline.  The world is changing and China is projected to become the largest economy in the world at some point during the next decade.  Americans have been taught from birth that “the U.S. is number one”, but the transition is really happening.  China is passing the United States even in quite a few high tech industries and in many areas of scientific research.  The numbers that you are going to read below are absolutely staggering.  It is getting really hard to deny that the Chinese are wiping the floor with us economically.  In fact, they are beating us so badly that it is hard to put into words."

Lessons from the fall of Rome  ---  http://www.sovereignman.com/expat/lessons-from-the-fall-of-rome/  
Must Read - A quote...."In 43 BC, over 2,000 years ago, warring consuls Antony, Lepidus, and Octavian were duking it out with each other over control of Rome following Julius Caesar’s assassination the prior March. -- Each had legions at his disposal, and Rome’s terrified Senate sat on its hands waiting for the outcome. -- Ultimately, the three men chose to unite their powers and rule Rome together in what became known as the Second Triumvirate. This body was established by a law named lex Titia on this date (give or take depending on how you convert the Roman calendar) in 43 BC. -- The foundation of the Second Triumvirate is of tremendous historical importance: as the group wielded dictatorial powers, it represents the final nail in the coffin in Rome’s transition from republic to malignant autocracy."

Special Note - A quote...."From what the press is reporting about this Wikileaks “dump,” perhaps 10% are Secret or Confidential, the rest Unclassified, and nothing is Top Secret or above. -- I have followed the unfolding teapot-tempest drama of the latest Wikileaks release with a certain bemusement, accompanied by a growing suspicion shared with others that all is not as it seems with these supposed revelations. But my initial impression, based of course on what I am reading in the mainstream and alternative media and not in the cables themselves, is that it is surprising how little damaging material is there about much of the world. Secretary Clinton cannot be happy at having the UN people know what she told her people there to do, of course, and there is a great deal to whet assorted salacious appetites. More substantive issues will doubtless emerge, but I expect most if not all to be embarrassing rather than destructive."

For example, the information disclosed to date doesn't challenge the narrative of the "War on Terror" itself, the government's handling of the economic crisis, or any other central American policy. -- So whether Wikileaks is a first amendment champion or an intelligence service psychological operation aiming to persuade and embarrass, so far it has mainly been a bunch of gossip in terms of leaks about America. -- If you don't believe me, read some of the actual cables which have been released." - also posted at ZeroHedge  ---  http://www.zerohedge.com/article/wikileaks-wikidrama-and-wikigossip

Acting high and mighty? Bluntly invoking "sticks" if they don’t do as demanded? Or simply rejecting what they say out of hand? -- The latest example of the confrontational diplomacy of the U.S. is that the U.S. accused China of enabling North Korea to start enriching uranium, to launch attacks on South Korea, and to behave with impunity. This follows continuous administration outbursts and accusations over strength in China’s currency, accompanied by demands that China appreciate its exchange rate against the dollar. -- China responded by terming the accusation "irresponsible."

Helen Thomas and the Zio-Ogres From the Synagogue of Satan  ---  http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=15661 
A quote...."I am now very happy with Helen Thomas and I hope her recent behavior becomes a contagion. It may look like she has destroyed her legacy and trashed her reputation in her final years but the fact is, she has put an imprimatur of divine courage and integrity upon the totality of her time here, as opposed to those who possess neither and scream the loudest. She has revealed herself to be more than she was in a profession that never allows you to actually do your job, because you have to cater to the Synagogue of Satan, which owns the media, because it owns the banks, that prints the money out of thin air, which allowed them to buy anything they wanted to buy, while denying that right to anyone else besides a member of the Zio-Ogre Tribe. If Jesus Christ was the flesh embodiment of truth, his greatest enemy was the Pharisees, who were the diametrical opposite of everything he stood for. Two thousand years later, the same truth is under fire from the descendants of the same psychopathic, reptile crew."

Indeed, questions of morals and of justice seem to have no relevance, and policy appears in most cases to be determined solely by considerations of what one party only to the conflict might agree to, or at least not protest about."

The Art of Glass-Blowing in Hebron  ---  http://www.palestinemonitor.org/spip/spip.php?article1642

Today, there are only two of them left, run by the Natsheh family. The first Intifada, combined with the affluence of cheap goods from China and the rise in oil prices forced the majority of glass shop owners out of business. Both remaining factories have relocated to the entrance of the city, because tourists are sometimes fearful to go too deep into the old city."

Notes from the Olive Harvest  ---  http://www.uruknet.com/?p=m72611&hd=&size=1&l=e 
A quote...."We lived in a paradise". My grandmother used to say about Jrash; her village to the west of occupied Jerusalem, her home and only home. "We had lots and lots of trees, countless trees, so many trees that stretched as far as the eyesight would reach, planted by my father, his father and his grandfather and all those before them. The olive trees, the carob trees and the fig trees stood guard at our door steps, marked our homes and our lands, were our playgrounds and our workshops. These trees gave us joy and gave us nourishment, gave us protection and were our home, our shelter and our wealth". She lived in paradise until she was expelled from it, expelled from her home and lands by the Zionists during the Nakba, and made a refugee in her own country."

Rosenberg On Why Fighting The Fed In Real Terms Has Been Very Successful

And Rosie is spot on: the deflation in all credit-intensive purchases is accelerating, and will accelerate because the only thing that matters, as we have claimed for over a year, is the shadow capital/credit contained in the shadow banking system. That is the number that is collapsing at a rate of more than half a trillion per quarter. No matter what Bernanke does to M2 will even remotely offset this deleveraging deluge."

Consider CNN's Wolf Blitzer's reaction to the leaked diplomatic cables that reveal how the US government uses deceptions, bribes, and threats to control other governments and to deceive the American and other publics. Blitzer is outraged that information revealing the US government's improprieties reached the people, or some of them. As Alexander Cockburn wrote, Blitzer demanded that the US government take the necessary steps to make certain that journalists and the American people never again find out what their government is up to." - also posted at GlobalRsrch  ---  http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=22269

No gloves were found at the scene. - Dr Kelly is said to have killed himself after being named as the prime source of a BBC report accusing Tony Blair’s government of lying to take Britain into war. - Uniquely, for an unexpected death such as his, no coroner’s inquest has ever been held." - bold by website editor

Mass Assassinations Lie at the Heart of America’s Military Strategy in the Muslim World
  ---  http://911newscentral.com/2010/12/05/u-s-general-petraeus-ceo-of-assassinations-inc/ 
A quote...."The truth that many Americans find hard to take is that that mass U.S. assassination on a scale unequaled in world history lies at the heart of America’s military strategy in the Muslim world, a policy both illegal and never seriously debated by Congress or the American people. Conducting assassination operations throughout the 1.3 billon-strong Muslim world will inevitably increase the murder of civilians and thus create exponentially more “enemies,” as Gen. McChrystal suggests — posing a major long-term threat to U.S. national security. This mass assassination program, sold as defending Americans, is actually endangering us all. Those responsible for it, primarily General Petraeus, are recklessly seeking short-term tactical advantage while making an enormous long-term strategic error that could lead to countless American deaths in the years and decades to come. General Petraeus must be replaced, and the U.S. military’s policy of direct and mass assassination of Muslims ended."

It edged up to a silver Peugeot 405, hesitating alongside for moment, before moving off into the maze of vehicles.

Arizona recently stopped paying for certain organ transplants for people in its Medicaid program. States are releasing prisoners early, more to cut expenses than to reward good behavior.

California state workers’ pensions under assault  ---  http://wsws.org/articles/2010/dec2010/pens-d06.shtml 
A quote...."The California state budget, passed in early October, mandates brutal cuts to social programs as well as pension plans. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger made “pension reform” a precondition before approving any budget plan. California’s budget deficit is now estimated to be $25.4 billion, a far larger number than state officials originally estimated. An offensive is now under way to blame California’s fiscal crisis on pensioners and retirees and make them pay for the deficit."

The Establishment Is in Despair  ---  http://www.lewrockwell.com/north/north916.html
Must Read - Some quotes...."The Council on Foreign Relations is the single most influential discussion forum in the United States. Its quarterly journal, Foreign Affairs, is therefore the most influential publication in the country and therefore the world."  ---  "The November/December issue features an article that I think will become a turning point. A decade from now, or a quarter century from now, historians will return to it and summarize its contents. It will be regarded as the first official announcement in the highest of high places that the Federal deficit is out of control, and that this in turn threatens the survival of America's position as the world's most influential political-military participant. - The article is titled, "American Profligacy and American Power: The Consequences of Fiscal Irresponsibility." I have been reading Foreign Affairs for about four decades, but I do not recall any article with a title this inflammatory."

Why Some on the Internet Are Starting to Wonder—Is WikiLeaks for Real?
  ---  http://newamericamedia.org/2010/12/why-some-on-the-internet-wonder-is-wikileaks-being-played.php
Must Read - A quote...."The quarter of a million American diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks reveal that American diplomats have a low opinion of the thuggish Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. They call him "feckless." Equally underwhelming are the revelations that Nikolas Sarkozy is "temperamental" and Muammar al-Gaddafi likes flamenco and blondes. What is more, some of Iran's Arab neighbors look to Tehran with fear and loathing, Afghan politicians are corrupt, and American corporations lobby the Congress. -- The global media is in a tizzy, repeating the same mundane, stale information from 251,287 cables released by WikiLeaks, a media organization that claims a loosely organized network of international contributors. Curiously, such publications as The New York Times, Der Spiegel, The Guardian, Le Monde and Spain's El País have carried the leaks dutifully, even though their well-policed pages are otherwise governed by highly divergent philosophies, policies and practices. Even more curiously, all news organizations repeat the same cherry-picked factoids that their ace reporters apparently culled from the documents." - also posted at AlethoNews

Wiki-Leaks and Plausible Lies - Where Have All The Critical Thinkers Gone?
  ---  http://www.sott.net/articles/show/218901-Wiki-Leaks-and-Plausible-Lies-Where-Have-All-The-Critical-Thinkers-Gone-
Must Read - Quote of the Day...."The Wiki-leaks documents need to be considered in a broader context. By all means, alternative news sites should continue to expose American, British and any another government inequity that the documents reveal. But where is the criticism of the rest of the documents that confirm the standard Israeli/American narrative - that Iran poses 'an existentialist threat' to Israel and to 'moderate' Arab states? -- Does anyone care that these documents clearly support US and Israeli war-mongering? Does anyone else find that to be astonishing? Where is the critical thought? -- The problem is that, when the dust has settled (as it soon will) over all-too-familiar US government attempts to spy on UN officials and the pusillanimity of the British government assuring the Americans that their Iraq invasion inquiry would have a pro-US bias, we will be left with some core details which, far from being refuted or covered up, are being accepted as fact."

Others as the epitome of the most sacred of liberty’s principles: the right to know. -- Yet the real story here is not what’s revealed but what’s withheld. The marvel is not what we now know but what is already known that is left unsaid.

'Obama Is not God' -- US Drone Attack Raises Uncomfortable Questions for Germany  ---  http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,732684,00.html
Special Note - Some quotes...."A US drone attack in Pakistan in October is thought to have killed a German citizen. The government of Chancellor Angela Merkel would prefer the case to simply go away, but one parliamentarian is refusing to let it be forgotten."  ---  "Such attacks are happening outside the law," says Neskovic. "International law does not provide any legal basis for the killing of suspected terrorists outside of a combat situation. … No intelligence service has the license to kill." - According to Neskovic, if other countries adopted such a strategy, the entire world would become a war zone, with "American drones over the Brandenburg Gate (in Berlin) and North Korean drones over Washington. - Neskovic reserves his strongest criticism for the American president, who he sees as being ultimately responsible for the drone attacks. "Barack Obama is not God, able to freely decide about life and death," he says. "Nevertheless he behaves like an Old Testament God who kills people as he sees fit with fire and brimstone." - Topix ||  The Almighty Corporation - 03-30-08 - mpg - satire  ||

Vietnam: The Last Battle  ---  http://www.truth-out.org/vietnam-the-last-battle-john-pilger-reports-from-saigon65646
Special Note - A quote...."The year was 1978. Vietnam was then being punished for seeing off the last American helicopter gunship, the war’s creation, the last B52 with its ladders of bombs silhouetted against the flash of their carnage, the last C-130s that had dumped, the US Senate was told, "a quantity of toxic chemical amounting to six pounds per head of population, destroying much of the ecosystem and causing a fatal catastrophe," the last of a psychosis that made village after village a murder scene. -- And when it was all over on May Day, 1975, Hollywood began its long celebration of the invaders as victims, the standard purgative, while revenge was policy. Vietnam was classified as "Category Z" in Washington, which imposed the draconian Trading with the Enemy Act from the first world war. This ensured that even Oxfam America was barred from sending humanitarian aid. Allies pitched in. One of Margaret Thatcher’s first acts on coming to power in 1979 was to persuade the European Community to halt its regular shipments of food and milk to Vietnamese children. According to the World Health Organization, a third of all infants under five so deteriorated following the milk ban that the majority of them were stunted or likely to be. Almost none of this was news in the west." - also posted at MostlyWater  ---  http://mostlywater.org/vietnam_last_battle

JFK and RFK: The Plots that Killed Them - The Patsies that Didn’t  ---  http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=22261
Special Note - A quote...."Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated 42 years ago in the midst of his campaign for the U.S. presidency. Largely overshadowed by the death of his brother, President John F. Kennedy, the official account of RFK’s tragic end, allegedly shot down by a lone gunman, like his brother, has received vastly less attention. In both instances, we are looking at staged events that fit into a recurrent pattern in U.S. and world history where innocent individuals (or “patsies”) are baited and framed for cover-up purposes. Professor James H. Fetzer, an expert in the scientific study of assassinations, provides a sketch of how we know what happened to them and why, where RFK’s assassination was in part intended to prevent a reinvestigation into his brother’s death."

US Soldier: “What happened to OUR country while we were gone?”
  ---  http://911newscentral.com/2010/12/04/us-soldier-what-happened-to-our-country-while-we-were-gone/
A quote...."A friend of mine sent me this about his TSA experience. He, unlike most of us, was coming back into the country from Afghanistan on a military charter. -- As the Chalk Leader for my flight home from Afghanistan, I witnessed the following: When we were on our way back from Afghanistan, we flew out of Baghram Air Field. We went through customs at BAF, full body scanners (no groping), had all of our bags searched, the whole nine yards. Our first stop was Shannon, Ireland to refuel. After that, we had to stop at Indianapolis, Indiana to drop off about 100 folks from the Indiana National Guard."

Obama nominates for-profit prison consultant for US Marshals director  ---  http://www.wsws.org/articles/2010/dec2010/mars-d03.shtml
It's amazing, Obama doesn't let one single day go by without somehow furthering this nation's decent into the abyss of a sick, twisted and evil New Roman Empire.  It seems Obama honestly feels he hasn't done his job properly if he doesn't do something -- anything -- at least once a day, to add to this nation's woes, destroy its constitution, ruin its economy, give more tax dollars to its parasites, or start more wars. - mpg -- A quote...."In September, Obama nominated Stacia Hylton as the new director of the United States Marshals Service (USMS). Her nomination serves as an example of the anti-democratic ties between American corporations and government. Particularly troubling is Hylton’s close relationship with the two largest for-profit, private prison companies, GEO Group and Corrections Corp. of America (CCA)."

Web Censorship Alert - Joe Lieberman is an AIPAC/Israeli Consortium shill and he should have moved to Israel and run for the Israeli Knesset a long, long, time ago!!  Instead he's living here, off our taxpayer dollars, doing his level best to destroy what little remains of this nation's constitution while slavishly serving the interests of a foreign power. - mpg -- A quote...."As if it wasn't enough that America's ruling oligarchs were sufficiently happy with abdicating their governing duties to the Federal Reserve, they have now decided to imitate China in every possible way, and in addition to making up economic data as they go (for actual numbers just look around you, for all the other imaginary bullshit there's the BLS), they have now proceeded to wipe their ass with the first amendment, on their way to converting the US to a complete banana republic.

But she stoked additional controversy with new remarks, claiming that "Zionists" control U.S. foreign policy and other American institutions. The local Jewish community strongly condemned her remarks. -- "I can call a president of the United States anything in the book but I can't touch Israel, which has Jewish-only roads in the West Bank," Thomas said.

Obama’s Israel Policy: Speak softly and carry a very big carrot
  ---  http://maidhcocathail.wordpress.com/2010/12/03/obama%E2%80%99s-israel-policy-speak-softly-and-carry-a-very-big-carrot/
A quote...."Even those familiar with the long and shameful history of America’s appeasement of Israel were taken aback by the Obama administration’s extraordinary offer to Netanyahu. -- In exchange for a paltry one-off 90 day freeze on illegal settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank (excluding East Jerusalem), Israel will get 20 F-35 stealth fighter jets worth $3 billion and a slew of other goodies. Yet Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reportedly gave up to eight hours with Netanyahu trying to persuade him to accept “one of the most generous bribes ever bestowed by the United States on any foreign power.” Praising the Israeli Prime Minister for eventually agreeing to put the offer to his security cabinet, President Obama took it as “a signal that he is serious.”
