I disagree with this series of videos for various reasons which I have absolutley no time to rewatch or go into, however, there is one in here that has been selected (back in September) by me for a later posting for part of its content. It will have nothing to do with Lucifer. Lucifer is the Roman god for Venus. The light bearer. Illumination, etc., etc., etc.

Hello,

I believed David is the one who is saying "More on Enki & Enlil later."

Did something was posted and I missed it ? Can it be posted again?

Thanks
Chris

> One of the things that Bill doesn't get is that the definition of god by
christians is not the same as for everyone else. Christians think that god has
to have all of these particular attributes & if these attributes don't exist it
can't be a god. All god means is the ability to reason & know right from wrong
or good & evil. Anything less is simply a dumb animal. Which is why it makes
absolutely no sense that Eve would be punished for doing something that she had
no way of knowing whether it was good or evil or right or wrong or whether being
told not to eat was good or evil or right or wrong in the first place, having
not yet eaten. What? You never understood this? Think your dog would understand
you telling him not to eat something right in front of him that was good to eat?
Think he'll listen?
>  
> So would you rather be a dumb stupid animal or have the ability to reason?
Think about it. (Something you can't even do without intellect.) Being a dumb
animal is no way to exist. I would never want to be dumb animal. And if you do,
I have mental reservations about you.
>  
> All Luciferianism is, is the worship of the intellect. The intellect as a
force. Bill hasn't a clue who Satan is. Satan is one thing to jews & another to
christians. There are similar gods in other belief systems. (Notice I said
"gods".) The elite do not worship a 'physical being' known as Lucifer.
>  
> Satan to a jew is someone or a collection of people who is/are against the
jewish people or their god, which they believe is themselves. It is merely being
their adversary. Then you are a Satan. (What is called anti-semitism is a
disease. You catch it from jews.) Unless you like Arabs of course, then how
could you then be an anti-semite? They have a lot 'splainin' to do' on that one!
(ala Ricky Ricardo.)

> Christian Satan was a stolen concept put into use in the 5th century by the
church to scare people into staying in line & be good obedient little sheep.
PERIOD.
>  
> Who is Jehovah? Christians, like it or not, here tis:
>  
> Biblical Jehovah (Jew-hovah) in Genesis is a composite of multiple deities,
primarily the Sumerian gods Enki (Ea) and Enlil, but also the primeval goddess
Gaia. Elsewhere god is mainly Enlil & Samael or Enki are Satan. Gaia is the
creator of the universe in Genesis as well as the one who 'created' (used
loosely) or generated the pre-intellectual man. Neither Enlil or Enlil could
create the universe, but yet they were gods nonetheless. (Or are/were they?
Hmmmm. The bible says so. Explain that one christians!) But they were certainly
capable of giving man intelligence. You need to notice that 2 words are used for
"god" in the KJV in Gene Isis? "Lord" & "God". Now why is that? Never noticed it
did you? Become more observant. Most things are right under your nose - hidden
in plain sight, etc.
>  
> Enki is the one that the christian Satan is mainly modeled after in Gene Isis.
Jewish Samael as well & more so in other places. Enki was the good god & he
'fashioned' man into a type with an intellect, as well as saved man from the
flood by giving him the knowledge he needed to SAVE HIMSELF. (There are 2
creation stories in Gene Isis! Read again if you need to.) Enlil wanted man
destroyed. Don't believe me? Do your own research.
>  
> Judaism obviously agrees with Enlil. So did the Israelites if you buy the
story as told.
>  
> So christians, who do you worship unknowingly? And why do you worship the one
who didn't want you to have the ability to reason? And why do you worship the
one, who after you acquired the ability to reason, wanted you dead (ceasing to
exist even as a species) from a cataclysm? Time for you to figure that one out
for yourself & then logically justify it afterwards. (Along with a ton of other
nonsensical dogma.) Yes, I intend to offend here. I make no apologies either.
>  
> Good & evil have nothing to do with this. These exist anywhere you have a
species with intellect. There will never be all one or the other. They HAVE to
coexist. There is no other way. It is foolish to think otherwise. If you don't
have both, you don't have freedom. It is that simple. Without good & evil, YOU
ARE A DUMB ANIMAL. And you christians look forward to a time when no evil exist?
WHAT?!

who has the darkness?

> Man is born of sadness, for he is of the Blood of the Ancient Ones, but has
the Spirit of the Elder gods breathed into him. And his heart goes to the
Ancient Ones, but his mind is turned towards the Elder gods, and this is the war
which shall be always fought, unto the last generation of man; for the world is
unnatural for him.

> And humanity, blissfully unaware of all this, for the most part, still
struggles on living the religious lies and bearing the karmic burden of these
lies.
>  
> How sad & totally un-necessary.
>
>  
> Who is Samael? He is the one who rebelled against God in the jewish
mythologies. The source of this religious misery ultimately came from these
mythologies & the belief that the one the jews agree with is right. Tisk, tisk,
tisk. What crap! Samael is also the diabolos in the NT as the NT was originally
written by a jew under the direction of Rome to pacify militant jews whom Rome
was at war with & who were looking for a warrior messiah & who would refuse to
worship the Roman emperors as gods. They certainly found other uses for this
psy-op that became christianity later. It wasn't used to unify the Roman Empire
as commonly believed, but to enslave the inhabitants of the Roman Empire. Then
later as much of the world as they could force it on to.

Fighting Ghosts

& Shadow Governments

 

Jim Kirwan

11-24-09

 

 

 

Back in the beginning of the First obvious Dictatorship of the Twenty-first Century; when the Shadow Government of Dick Cheney became the new rulers of this nation and the greatest threat to actual world order: A massive new shadow government was created to foster an international and perpetual war upon both the world and the citizens of the United States. This was done under the guise of a ‘New World Order.’ Dick Cheney was the founder and CEO of this criminal-enterprise that was created to live in the shadow of the actual departments of Intelligence, the Pentagon, the Executive, the Office of Management & Budget, as well as outside the purview of Congress, the Courts and the public—and was answerable to no one except Cheney and to his unofficial Criminal-Agent-In-Charge; Donald Rumsfeld.

 

At the time America was very much consumed by the trauma associated with the attacks upon the US of 911. As time passed pieces of Cheney’s Shadow-Government began to be discovered on the fringes of actual governmental policies, such as, the totally flawed “intel” surrounding the bogus War on Iraq that ended up becoming the pack-of lies told by Colin Powell in defense of the administrations pre-emptive military plan to strike Iran, under cover of false and misleading security intelligence that was created by Dick Cheney’s Shadow Government and then passed off as US government intelligence that did not pass the test of time or of international investigation. Today an article was released by the Nation, written by Jeremy Scahill that documents new evidence directly from the tracks left in Pakistan by Cheney’s Secret Government that clearly gives away the whole game that is still being played against Americans.

At a covert forward operating base run by the US Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) in the Pakistani port city of Karachi, members of an elite division of Blackwater are at the center of a secret program in which they plan targeted assassinations of suspected Taliban and Al Qaeda operatives, "snatch and grabs" of high-value targets and other sensitive action inside and outside Pakistan, an investigation by The Nation has found. The Blackwater operatives also assist in gathering intelligence and help direct a secret US military drone bombing campaign that runs parallel to the well-documented CIA predator strikes, according to a well-placed source within the US military intelligence apparatus.

The source, who has worked on covert US military programs for years, including in Afghanistan and Pakistan, has direct knowledge of Blackwater's involvement. He spoke to The Nation on condition of anonymity because the program is classified. The source said that the program is so "compartmentalized" that senior figures within the Obama administration and the US military chain of command may not be aware of its existence.

The White House did not return calls or email messages seeking comment for this story. Capt. John Kirby, the spokesperson for Adm. Michael Mullen, Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told The Nation, "We do not discuss current operations one way or the other, regardless of their nature." A defense official, on background, specifically denied that Blackwater performs work on drone strikes or intelligence for JSOC in Pakistan. "We don't have any contracts to do that work for us. We don't contract that kind of work out, period," the official said. "There has not been, and is not now, contracts between JSOC and that organization for these types of services."

"Wilkerson said the JSOC teams caused diplomatic problems for the United States across the globe. "When these teams started hitting capital cities and other places all around the world, [Rumsfeld] didn't tell the State Department either. The only way we found out about it is our ambassadors started to call us and say, 'Who the hell are these six-foot-four white males with eighteen-inch biceps walking around our capital cities?' So we discovered this, we discovered one in South America, for example, because he actually murdered a taxi driver, and we had to get him out of there real quick. We rendered him--we rendered him home."

As part of their strategy, Rumsfeld and Cheney also created the Strategic Support Branch (SSB), which pulled intelligence resources from the Defense Intelligence Agency and the CIA for use in sensitive JSOC operations. The SSB was created using "reprogrammed" funds "without explicit congressional authority or appropriation," according to the Washington Post. The SSB operated outside the military chain of command and circumvented the CIA's authority on clandestine operations. Rumsfeld created it as part of his war to end "near total dependence on CIA." Under US law, the Defense Department is required to report all deployment orders to Congress. But guidelines issued in January 2005 by former Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Stephen Cambone stated that Special Operations forces may "conduct clandestine HUMINT operations...before publication" of a deployment order. This effectively gave Rumsfeld unilateral control over clandestine operations.

The military intelligence source said that when Rumsfeld was defense secretary, JSOC was deployed to commit some of the "darkest acts" in part to keep them concealed from Congress. "Everything can be justified as a military operation versus a clandestine intelligence performed by the CIA, which has to be informed to Congress," said the source. "They were aware of that and they knew that, and they would exploit it at every turn and they took full advantage of it. They knew they could act extra-legally and nothing would happen because A, it was sanctioned by DoD at the highest levels, and B, who was going to stop them? They were preparing the battlefield, which was on all of the Power Points: 'Preparing the Battlefield.'"" (1)

Recently Obama has been creating a public-paralysis with his prolonged and supposedly difficult dilemma about sending more troops into Pakistan; despite demands that the troops be withdrawn, not increased. The release of this new information could not have come at a more appropriate time, because it proves the lies that both Bush & Obama have been telling about the true nature of operations within and around both Afghanistan and Pakistan, since Bush restarted this war; supposedly in search of Osama bin Laden: A person who is still not listed as even being wanted by the FBI for anything—yet the US military is willing to move heaven and earth to find the ghost of this long dead individual.

The “troops” Obama wants to send into the Afghanistan-Pakistan War, will cost the taxpayer’s a million dollars a piece; due to the high costs of sending at least one if not two mercenaries for every GI that is sent. This is caused by having privately-contracted for all other services to be done by private-contractors, aside from and in addition to, the actual fighting. (2)

“ Blackwater charges the government $1,222 per day per guard, “equivalent to $445,000 per year, or six times more than the cost of an equivalent U.S. soldier,” the report said.” (3)

So: According to the source, Blackwater has effectively marketed itself as a company whose operatives have "conducted lethal direct action missions and now, for a price, you can have your own planning cell. JSOC just ate that up," he said, adding, "They have a sizable force in Pakistan--not for any nefarious purpose if you really want to look at it that way--but to support a legitimate contract that's classified for JSOC." Blackwater's Pakistan JSOC contracts are secret and are therefore shielded from public oversight, he said. The source is not sure when the arrangement with JSOC began, but he says that a spin-off of Blackwater SELECT "was issued a no-bid contract for support to shooters for a JSOC Task Force and they kept extending it." Some of the Blackwater personnel, he said, work undercover as aid workers. "Nobody even gives them a second thought." (1)

The line between the legal-forces of this country (operating illegally) and the actions taken by Cheney’s secret government forces while apparently compatible, according to the built-in deniability; are in fact a criminally-liable private army that is being used to conduct outrageously-criminal-operations against civilians in war zones that have not been declared as war zones by anyone from the Pentagon to the congress? Despite the fact that these ‘wars’ were never declared—they are apparently being fought by shadowy mercenaries that answer to no one but Dick Cheney & Donald Rumsfeld? This is a crime not only against those they are killing but against the public in America that is paying for every part of this!

JSOC: Rumsfeld and Cheney's Extra Special Force

Colonel Wilkerson said that he is concerned that with General McChrystal's elevation as the military commander of the Afghan war--which is increasingly seeping into Pakistan--there is a concomitant rise in JSOC's power and influence within the military structure. "I don't see how you can escape that; it's just a matter of the way the authority flows and the power flows, and it's inevitable, I think," Wilkerson told The Nation. He added, "I'm alarmed when I see execute orders and combat orders that go out saying that the supporting force is Central Command and the supported force is Special Operations Command," under which JSOC operates. "That's backward. But that's essentially what we have today."

From 2003 to 2008 McChrystal headed JSOC, which is headquartered at Pope Air Force Base and Fort Bragg in North Carolina, where Blackwater's 7,000-acre operating base is also situated. JSOC controls the Army's Delta Force, the Navy's SEAL Team 6, as well as the Army's 75th Ranger Regiment and 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, and the Air Force's 24th Special Tactics Squadron. JSOC performs strike operations, reconnaissance in denied areas and special intelligence missions. Blackwater, which was founded by former Navy SEALs, employs scores of veteran Special Forces operators--which several former military officials pointed to as the basis for Blackwater's alleged contracts with JSOC.

Since 9/11, many top-level Special Forces veterans have taken up employment with private firms, where they can make more money doing the highly specialized work they did in uniform. "The Blackwater individuals have the experience. A lot of these individuals are retired military, and they've been around twenty to thirty years and have experience that the younger Green Beret guys don't," said retired Army Lieut. Col. Jeffrey Addicott, a well-connected military lawyer who served as senior legal counsel for US Army Special Forces. "They're known entities. Everybody knows who they are, what their capabilities are, and they've got the experience. They're very valuable."

"They make much more money being the smarts of these operations, planning hits in various countries and basing it off their experience in Chechnya, Bosnia, Somalia, Ethiopia," said the military intelligence source. "They were there for all of these things, they know what the hell they're talking about. And JSOC has unfortunately lost the institutional capability to plan within, so they hire back people that used to work for them and had already planned and executed these [types of] operations. They hired back people that jumped over to Blackwater SELECT and then pay them exorbitant amounts of money to plan future operations. It's a ridiculous revolving door." (1)

But the most dangerous and least explored use for Cheney’s mercenaries is the part they have been targeted to play in the coming lockdown of this nation. All of these actions overseas have just been practice for what this government has planned, when it comes to how to manage a hostile American public, once the Full Metal Jacket is revealed—which is planned for those who shall resist the Shadow Government on American soil!

Think about it – These privatized-armies are not ‘ghosts’. Cheney & Rumsfeld, along with those that were suppose to have controlled them, should be arrested and tried for treason.Then demand that this criminal and obscure practice be terminated immediately. After this is accomplished, then maybe Americans can move on into this new Millennium?

    For those who have wondered "What the hell ever happened to Snarl'in Dick Cheney & Rumsfeld after the departure of the Bushwhackers:
Here's part of what these two international criminals have continued to oversee: Reaping Billions in the bargain. But the most damning evidence
which this breaking story reveals, is the fact that all of this bullshit is predicated upon finding Osama bin Laden; who has been dead for at least
the last five years. Parallel Intelligence Operations, Super-Secret privatized-killers, operating in shadowy parallel to US forces and running
the predator-drone operations that have slaughtered so many thousands - all of it secret, illegal, and covertly-CRIMINAL. Apparently Cheney's
SECRET government IS STILL ALIVE AND KILLING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE  for privatized-profits and secret-powers that will soon be unleashed
right here inside the USA.
Could any sane person beleive that anyone could hide from the US government for nine years, while remaining our 'greatest single threat to
national security'?! Get serious: 911 was an inside job, and definitely NOTsomething that was launched from a cave "somewhere in Afghanistan"!
 
All of this false-flag stuff is being paid for by US tax-dollars that are being stolen from real programs here that could have begun to turn this nation
around; but is instead being used to line the pockets of secret billionaire-contractors that were put in place and are being kept there by two of this
nations major Zionist-criminals: Dick Cheney & Don Rumsfeld - who should be awaiting criminal trials for treason in a time of war. . .instead of
making their way to trillionaire status at our expense.  In case obamanation might be reading this - THIS IS PART OF WHY WE CANNOT GO FORWARD
UNTIL THE CRIMES OF THE PAST ARE DEALT WITH!

Blackwater's Secret War in Pakistan
 

"Wilkerson said the JSOC teams caused diplomatic problems for the United States across the globe. "When these teams started hitting capital cities and other places all around the world, [Rumsfeld] didn't tell the State Department either. The only way we found out about it is our ambassadors started to call us and say, 'Who the hell are these six-foot-four white males with eighteen-inch biceps walking around our capital cities?' So we discovered this, we discovered one in South America, for example, because he actually murdered a taxi driver, and we had to get him out of there real quick. We rendered him--we rendered him home."

As part of their strategy, Rumsfeld and Cheney also created the Strategic Support Branch (SSB), which pulled intelligence resources from the Defense Intelligence Agency and the CIA for use in sensitive JSOC operations. The SSB was created using "reprogrammed" funds "without explicit congressional authority or appropriation," according to the Washington Post. The SSB operated outside the military chain of command and circumvented the CIA's authority on clandestine operations. Rumsfeld created it as part of his war to end "near total dependence on CIA." Under US law, the Defense Department is required to report all deployment orders to Congress. But guidelines issued in January 2005 by former Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Stephen Cambone stated that Special Operations forces may "conduct clandestine HUMINT operations...before publication" of a deployment order. This effectively gave Rumsfeld unilateral control over clandestine operations.

The WAR AGAINST JESUS CONTINUES:



Synagogue of Satan

I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.  Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer . . . be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. . . . Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Revelation 2:9-10, 3:9.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?  Matthew 23:27-33.


Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.   John 8:39-47.

Israel-60 Years of Abusing Palestinian

http://www.bushstole04.com/newworld/60_years.htm



The most propagandized country on earth, the US.Sixty years of massive, ongoing, coldly calculated human rights abuses against the Palestinian people.

That's the legacy of the State of Israel.

Americans pay the bills for this tyranny and our hopelessly corrupt news media and elected officials go along with it because it's politically expedient.

Israel Orders Palestinians To Evacuate 25 Apartments North Of Jerusalem

http://www.politicaltheatrics.net/?p=709



Palestinian sources reported that the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) handed last night court orders to evacuate 25 Palestinian apartments in Samiramis area behind the segregation wall in the north of occupied Jerusalem.

Hatem Abdelqader, the Palestinian Authority’s resigned minister of Jerusalem affairs (who seems to be still functioning in the position), said that a large number of Israeli troops and policemen along with an extremist Jewish figure known as Aryeh King stormed at night the neighborhood and handed the residents evacuation orders.

'We Have A Right To Confront The Occupiers'

http://www.politicaltheatrics.net/?p=704



"We stick to our right to confront the occupiers for as long as they are on our Palestinian lands," he said. "We won't accept the principle of security for security. The enemy will leave only through resistance."





POLITICALLY CORRECT RACISM

http://desertpeace.wordpress.com/2009/11/23/politically-correct-racism/


Only in Israel is it politically correct to be a racist. Racism is the norm…

Be it against Palestinians, Ethiopians, foreign workers, it is accepted, albeit ‘outlawed by legislation’, but accepted.

The following piece touches on just one aspect of this horror….

Far Beyond Chutzpah by Gilad Atzmon

“How come Barak, Israel’s Defence Minister, is under threat of being arrested in the UK while Khaled Mashaal, the leader of Hamas, roams London free of concern” asks Prof  Alan Dershowitz, who is probably the leading defender of the Jewish state in America. In fact the question could be easily extended, one may wonder how come Dershowitz and his ilk are roaming freely between Western capitals considering the racist, nationalist expansionist ideology they promote i.e. Zionism. At the end of the day, Dershowitz the loudest Zionist apologist in America is promoting a precept that has proved to be genocidal.

The Terror Which Begot “Israel”


PoliticalTheatrics


Terrorist & mass murderer Menachem Begin + The Zionist terrorbombing of the King David Hotel


We committed Nazi acts.” -Aharon Zisling, Israel’s first Agriculture Minister

“There is no doubt that many sexual atrocities were committed by the attacking Jews. Many young (Arab) girls were raped and later slaughtered. Old women were also molested.” -General Richard Catling, British Army Assistant Inspector after interrogating several female survivors. (The Palestinian Catastrophe, Michael Palumbo, 1987)

“Terrorism” is here taken to mean the practice of the deliberate inflicting (either directly or indirectly) of harm, injury, death and/or destruction upon a civilian target sufficient to cause horror, revulsion or despair among civilian populations and/or their political leaders, with the goal of causing those populations or political leaders to act in a way desired by the terrorists. A terrorist state is a state which practices terrorism, even if it pretends (or rather, lies) to the world that it does not. It hardly needs to be pointed out that Israel is a terrorist state. Brutal repression of, and bloody attacks on, Palestinian civilians with the official Israeli aim of causing a change in the policies or actions of the Palestinian leadership is a clear case of terrorism.

As the evil state of Israel is celebrating over sixty years of ethnic cleansing and atrocities against the native Palestinians, many people around the world, especially young generations, will not be fully aware of the manner in which Israel came into existence. Similarly, the younger Zionist generations who don’t stop calling their Palestinian victims “terrorists” should have a clearer idea about Israel’s manifestly criminal past which Zionist school textbooks shamelessly glamorize and glorify

Prior to “Jewish” statehood, three main Jewish terror organizations operated in Palestine, primarily against Palestinian civilians and British mandate targets. The three were: The Haganah, the Zvei Leumi or Irgun and the Stern Gang. The Haganah (Defence) had a field army of up to 160,000 well-trained and well-armed men and a unit called the Palmach, with more than 6,000 terrorists. The Irgun included as many as 5,000 terrorists, while the Stern Gang included 200-300 dangerous terrorists.

The following are merely some examples of Zionist terrorism prior to the creation of the Zionist state in 1948: The list doesn’t include the bigger massacres such as Dir Yasin, Dawaymeh, Tantura and others.

1937-1939

During this period, Zionist terrorists carried out a series of terror attacks against Palestinian buses resulting in the death of 24 persons and the wounding of 25 others.

1939

Haganah blew up the Iraqi oil pipeline near Haifa/Palestine. Moshe Dayan was one of the participants in this act. The technique was used in 1947 at least four times.

1940

On 6 November, 1940 , Zionist terrorists of the Stern Gang assassinated the British Minister resident in the Middle East , Lord Moyne, in Cairo .

On 25 November, S.S. Patria was blown up by Jewish terrorists in Haifa harbour, killing 268 illegal Jewish immigrants. The explosion, carried out by the Haganah terrorist group, was only meant to prevent the ship from sailing. However, it seemed that the terrorists had miscalculated the amount of explosives needed to disable the vessel. Other sources reported that this was no miscalculation and was a deliberate mass murder of Jews by Jews aimed at drawing sympathy and influencing British immigration policy to Palestine .

1946

Zionist terrorists blew up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, which housed the civilian administration of the government of Palestine, killing and injuring more than 200 persons. The Irgun gang claimed responsibility for this criminal act, but subsequent evidence indicated that both the Haganah and the Jewish Agency were involved.

1946

On 1 October, the British Embassy in Rome was badly damaged by a bomb explosion for which Irgun claimed responsibility.

1947

In June 1947, a postal bomb addressed to the British war office exploded in the post office sorting room in London, injuring 2 persons. It was attributed to Irgun or Stern Gangs (The Sunday Times, Sept. 24, 1972), p. 8.

In December 1947, six Palestinians were killed and 30 wounded when bombs were thrown from Jewish trucks at Arab houses in Haifa; 12 Palestinians were killed and another injured in an attack by armed Zionists at an Arab coastal village near Haifa.

On 13 December 1947 , Zionist terrorists believed to be members of Irgun Zevi Leumi murdered 18 Palestinian civilians and wounded 60 others in Jerusalem , Jaffa and Lud areas. In Jerusalem , bombs were thrown in an Arab market-place near the Damascus Gate; in Jaffa bombs were thrown into an Arab café; and in the Arab village near Lud, 12 Arabs were killed in an attack with mortars and automatic weapons.

On 9 December, Haganah terrorists attacked an Arab village near Safad, blowing up two houses, in the ruins of which were found the bodies of 10 Arabs, including 5 children. Haganah admitted responsibility for the attack.

On 29 December, two British constables and 11 Palestinians were killed and 32 others were injured at the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem when Irgun terrorists threw a bomb from a taxi.

1948

On 1 January, Haganah terrorists attacked a village on the slope of Mount Carmel , killing 17 Palestinian civilians and wounding 33 others.

On 4 January, Haganah terrorists wearing British Army uniforms penetrated into the centre of Jaffa and blew up the Sarai, which was used as headquarters of the Arab National Committee, killing more than 40 persons and wounding 98 others.

On 5 January, the Arab-owned Semiramis Hotel in Jerusalem was blown up, killing 20 civilians, among them Viscount De Tapia, the Spanish Consul. Haganah admitted responsibility for this outrage.

On 7 January , seventeen Arab civilians were killed by a bomb at the Jaffa Gate in Jerusalem , 3 of them while trying to escape. Further casualties, including the murder of a British officer near Hebron, were reported from different parts of the country.

On 16 January, Jewish terrorists blew up three Arab buildings, killing 8 children between the age of 18 months and 12 years.

December 13, 1947- February 10, 1948

Seven bombing attacks by Jewish terrorists took place and the targets were innocent Arab civilians in cafés and markets, killing 138 and wounding 271 others. During this period, there were 9 attacks on Arab buses. Moreover, Jewish terrorists attacked passenger trains on at least four occasions, killing 93 persons and wounding 161 others.

On 15 February , Haganah terrorists attacked an Arab village near Safad and blew up several houses, killing 11 civilians, including four children.

On 3 March, heavy damage was done to the Arab-owned Salam building in Haifa (a seven-story block of flats and shops) by Jewish terrorists who drove an army truck to the building and escaped before detonation of 400 pounds of explosives, killing 11 Arab civilians and 3 Americans. The Stern Gang claimed responsibility.

On 22 March, Jewish terrorists from the Stern Gang blew up a housing block in Iraq Street in Haifa , killing 17 and injuring 100 others. Four members of the Stern Gang drove two truckloads of explosives into the street and abandoned the vehicles before the explosives went off.

On 31 March, Jewish terrorists mined the Cairo-Haifa Express, killing 40 people and wounding 60 others.

On 16 April, Jewish terrorists attacked the former British army camp at Tel Litvvinsky, killing 90 Palestinians.

On 19 April, fourteen Palestinian civilians were killed in a house in Tiberias, which was blown up by Zionist terrorists.

On 11 May, a letter bomb addressed to Evelyn Baker, former commanding officer in Palestine , was detected in the nick of time by his wife.

April 25, 1948- May 13, 1948

Wholesale looting of Jaffa was carried out following armed attacks by Irgun and Haganah terrorists. They plundered and carried away everything they could, destroying what they could not take with them.

On 17 September, Count Folke Berndadotte, UN Mediator in Palestine was assassinated by members of the Stern Gang in the Zionist-controlled sector of Jerusalem . Bernadotte’s aide Col. Serot was also killed and murdered by Jewish terrorists.

In November, the Christian Arab villages of Igrit and Birim were attacked and destroyed, killing and injuring many unarmed civilians, including women and children. All the Christian Arab inhabitants were forcibly expelled from their homes. The State of Israel still refuses to allow them to return to their villages despite several court orders.

1948-1949

The greatest acts of Jewish terror took place when Jewish terrorists, now called Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), uprooted 700,000-800,000 Palestinians from their ancestral homeland in Palestine . Since then the refugees have consistently been denied the right to return home. After the expulsion, the Zionist terrorist army razed to the ground hundreds of Arab towns, villages and hamlets and obliterated their remains. Eventually, Israeli villages, Kibbutzim and towns were built on the remaining rubble.

Paid Lying – What Passes For Major Media Journalism

2009 November 22

by pakalert

By Stephen Lendman
11-9-9

Today’s major media journalism is biased, irresponsible, sensationalist reporting that distorts, exaggerates or misstates the truth. It’s misinformation or agitprop disinformation masquerading as fact to boost circulation, readership, viewers, or listeners, and on vital issues lie about or suppress uncomfortable truths to provide unqualified support for state and/or corporate interests – to the detriment of the greater good that’s always sacrificed for profits and imperial aims.



As a result, major media sources produce a daily propaganda diet and what Project Censored calls “junk food news,” and get most people to believe it. In their landmark book, Manufacturing Consent, Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky explained the “propaganda model” that controls the public message by “filter(ing)” disturbing truths, “leaving (behind) only the cleansed residue fit to print” or air.

Today the media is in crisis and a free and open society at risk at a time fiction substitutes for fact, news is carefully controlled, dissent marginalized, and on-air and print journalists support powerful interests as paid liars, or what famed journalist George Seldes (1890 – 1995) called “prostitutes of the press.”

As a result, imperial wars are called liberating ones. Civil liberties are suppressed for our own good. Major topics go unaddressed or are misrepresented. Government and business interests are endorsed wholeheartedly. America is always called “beautiful.” Beneficial social change is considered heresy. The market works best, we’re told, so let it, and patriotism means supporting lawlessness and corporate outlaws by shopping till we drop.

The New York Times – Its Lead Role in Distorting and Suppressing Truth

For many decades, The Times has been the closest thing in America to an official ministry of information and propaganda masquerading as real news, commentary and analysis.

Its unmatched clout once got media critic Norman Solomon to call its front page “the most valuable square inches of media real estate in the USA;” most everywhere, in fact, because its reports are widely circulated and followed globally.

The Paper of Record has a long history of:

– supporting the powerful;

– backing corporate interests;

– endorsing imperial wars;

– supporting CIA efforts to topple elected governments, assassinate independent leaders, prop up friendly dictators, secretly fund and train paramilitary death squads, practice sophisticated forms of torture, and menace democratic freedoms at home and abroad. For decades, in fact, some Times’ foreign correspondents were covert Agency assets. Others today likely are as well as other prominent fourth estate members.

The Times management is also comfortable with:

– Washington and corporate lawlessness;

– an unprecedented and growing wealth gap;

– Wall Street banksters looting the federal treasury;

– a private banking cartel controlling the nation’s money;

– unmet human needs and increasing poverty, hunger, homelessness, and despair for growing millions in a nation run by rogue politicians who don’t give a damn as long as they’re re-elected;

– a de facto one-party state;

– deep corruption at the highest government and corporate levels;

– democracy for the select few alone;

– sham elections; and

– a deepening social decay symptomatic of a declining state, yet The Times management won’t use its clout to expose and help reverse it.

Of course, the same applies throughout the corporate media, the only variance being audience size, the ability to influence it, and the special impact of TV news and talk radio to arouse their faithful. Plus their power of round-the-clock persuasive repetition.

Examples of Journalism, New York Times Style

After a Washington staged February 29, 2004 middle-of-the-night coup ousted democratically elected Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide, The Times March 1 editorial lied by:

– stating he resigned;

– saying sending in Marines to abduct him “was the right thing to do;”

– claiming they only came after “Mr. Aristide yielded power;”

– blaming him for “contribut(ing) significantly to his own downfall (because of his) increasingly autocratic and lawless rule….;” and

– accusing him of manipulating the 2000 legislative elections and not “deliver(ing) the democracy he promised.”

In fact, he’s a beloved democrat first elected in 1990 with 67% of the vote, ousted by a US-supported coup months later, returned to Haiti in 1994, then, because he couldn’t succeed himself in 1996, ran in 2000 and was overwhelmingly re-elected with 92% of the vote. Today in exile, the great majority of Haitians want him back but paramilitary occupiers, under orders from Washington, won’t let him.

Following Hugo Chavez’s December 1998 election, The Times Latin American reporter, Larry Roher, wrote:

Regional “presidents and party leaders are looking over their shoulders (concerned about the) specter (they) thought they had safely interred: that of the populist demagogue, the authoritarian man on horseback known as the caudillo (strongman)” taking power.

Ever since, Times writers consistently:

– turned a blind eye to Venezuelan democracy;

– bashed Chavez as “divisive, a ruinous demagogue, provocative (and) the next Fidel Castro;”

– said he “militarized the government, emasculated the country’s courts, intimidated the media, eroded confidence in the economy, and hollowed out Venezuela’s once-democratic institutions:” common conditions during decades of pre-Chavez rule that columnist Roger Lowenstein falsely said exist now in:

– calling him anti-capitalist for sharing his nation’s oil wealth with the people by providing essential social services, and for lifting the most needy out of poverty; and

– denouncing his making foreign investors pay their fair share.

Lowenstein backed the aborted April 2002 coup by calling Chavez’s ouster a “resignation,” then saying Venezuela “no longer (would be) threatened by a would-be dictator.”

Post-/911, the Times played the lead role in taking the nation to war by highlighting the “day of terror” and saying the “President Vows to Exact Punishment for ‘Evil.’ “

In the run-up to the Iraq war, Judith Miller was a weapon of mass deception with her daily front page Pentagon press release columns masquerading as real news, later exposed as manipulative lies, but they worked.

Following the September 15, 2009 Goldstone Commission report, a same day Neil MacFarquhar column suggested that Israel’s “disproportionate attack” followed Hamas provocations, so perhaps it was justified. While The Times gave Judge Goldstone op-ed space, it:

– published scathing letters denouncing his “one-sidedness” and a September 18 piece saying “the Obama administration said (today) that a United Nations report accusing Israel of war crimes in Gaza was unfair to Israel and did not take adequate account of ‘deplorable’ actions by the militant group Hamas in the conflict last winter.”

The paper then imposed a near-blackout on its news and editorial pages to bury the story and kill it through silence – never mind its importance in documenting clear evidence of Israeli war crimes against a civilian population.

National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting (PBS)

Founded in 1970 as an independent, private, non-profit member organization of US public radio stations, NPR promised to be an alternative to commercial broadcasters by “promot(ing) personal growth rather than corporate gain (and) speak with many voices, many dialects.”

Having long ago abandoned its promise, and given its substantial corporate and government funding, NPR is indistinguishable from the rest of the corporate media, just as corrupted, and consider its former head, Kevin Klose.

He was president from December 1998 – September 2008 and CEO from 1998 – January 2009. Earlier he was US propaganda director as head of the Voice of America (VOA), Radio Liberty, Radio Free Europe, Radio Free Asia, Worldnet Television, and the anti-Castro Radio/TV Marti, so he fit easily into his new role.

On January 5, 2009, Vivian Schiller succeeded him as president and CEO. Her official bio says she was previously with “The New York Times Company where she served as Senior Vice President and General Manager of NYTimes.com.”

She’ll oversea “all NPR operations and initiatives, including the organization’s critical partnerships with our 800+ member stations, and their service to the more than 26 million people who listen to NPR programming every week.” Most don’t know they’re getting the same corporate propaganda and “junk food news” or that
NPR calls itself “public” to conceal its real agenda, and why critics call it “National Pentagon or Petroleum Radio” with good reason.

Created by the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) calls itself “a private, nonprofit corporation created by Congress…and is the steward of the federal government’s investment in public broadcasting. It helps support the operations of more than 1,100 locally-owned and-operated public television and radio stations nationwide, and is the largest single source of funding for research, technology, and program development for public radio, television and related online services.”

Like NPR, it’s heavily corporate and government funded and provides similar services for them. Under George Bush, former Voice of America director Kenneth Tomlinson was chairman of CPB’s Board of Governors until an internal 2005 investigation forced him out for repeatedly braking the law.

On September 16, 2009, a CPB press release announced that “The board of directors (of the CPB) today elected Dr. Ernest Wilson III (as) chairman and re-elected….CEO Beth Courtney (as) vice-chair.”

Wilson previously held senior policy positions as Director of International Programs and Resources on the National Security Council. He was also Policy and Planning Unit Director for the US Information Agency and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).

Beth Courtney is a George Bush appointee, a past chairman of the board of America’s Public Television Stations and present CPB vice chairman. Currently she also serves on the boards of Satellite Educational Resources Consortium, the Organization of State Broadcasting Executives, the National Forum for Public Television Executives, and the National Educational Telecommunications Association along with other appropriate credentials for her re-appointment.

In its May/June 2004 “Extra” report, FAIR (Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting) asked “How Public Is Public Radio? Writers Steve Rendall and Daniel Butterworth quoted past head Kevin Klose saying:

“All of us believe our goal is to serve the entire democracy, the entire country.”

Not according to FAIR on “every on-air source quoted in June 2003 on four of (NPR’s) news shows: All Things Considered, Morning Edition, Weekend Edition Saturday and Weekend Edition Sunday.” Each guest was classified “by occupation, gender, nationality, and partisan affiliation.” Combined, 2,334 sources from 804 stories were quoted.

FAIR found that NPR relies on the same dominant sources as the major media that include government officials, professional experts, and corporate representatives nearly two-thirds of the time.

Spokespeople for public interest groups accounted for 7% of total sources, and ordinary people appeared mostly in “one-sentence soundbites.”

Male guests outnumbered women about 4 – 1, and those quoted most often came from the same elite categories as men.

Overall, NPR represents the same dominant interests as the major commercial media – conservative, pro-business, pro-war, pro-Israel, and very much against the public interest while pretending to support it.

FAIR analyzed PBS’s flagship NewsHour guest list and drew similar conclusions. Like NPR, it’s ideologically right and usually censors progressive content and public interest programming. In a 1990 NewsHour evaluation, FAIR compared its content to ABC’s Nightline and found that it presented “an even narrower segment of the political spectrum.” It then conducted an October 2005 – March 2006 analysis of all of its programs, got similar results, and determined that NewHour is even more ideologically right than NPR that tilts far in that direction itself.

FAIR concluded that NPR and NewsHour content “overwhelmingly represent those in power rather than the public” they’re obliged to serve. While masquerading as public programming, they betray their listeners and viewers by offering the same propaganda and “junk food news” as the dominant corporate media. Considering their funding sources, what else would they do.

An October 6 NPR story is typical of most others. It charged Hugo Chavez with “Targeting Opponents For Arrest.” Reporter Juan Forero claimed “dozens of university students” went on hunger strike outside OAS headquarters in Caracas on September 28 along with others “across the country….in support of Julio Cesar Rivas, a student who was arrested during an anti-government demonstration in August….”

Rivas is the coordinator and founder of Juventud Activa de Venezuela Unida (United Active Youth of Venezuela – JAVU). Earlier, he was part of a staged, violent street protest against Venezuela’s new Education Law. The government says JAVU acts as “shock troops” in opposition protests and is liberally funded by the National Endowment of Democracy (NED), International Republican Institute (IRI), and US Agency or International Development (USAID) to disrupt internal Venezuelan affairs. It’s a familiar scheme, repeated numerous times in the past, to discredit and disrupt the Chavez government in hopes of eventually ousting it.

JAVU has about 80,000 members in most Venezuelan states, and its blog site calls for bringing down the government and supporting the Honduran military coup.

Rivas was released on September 29, but must appear for trial. He’s a Washington-funded provocateur, charged with resisting arrest, instigating crime, conspiracy, inciting rebellion, damaging public property, and using “generic” weapons.

While in custody, Venezuela Public Defender Gabriela Ramirez assured him in person that his full constitutional rights will be protected. Street protests still continue and have been countered by pro-Chavez ones calling for “peace and tolerance.” According to the Federation of Bolivarian students’ Carlos Sierra:

Opposition “students are being used and manipulated by the top leadership of the irrational opposition, which, via the (dominant) media, send them to generate violence and terrorism in the country” much like on previous occasions.

But according to NPR’s Forero, Rivas was “sent to one of Venezuela’s most infamous prisons” where other government opponents are held as political prisoners. Chavez “has been jailing dozens of key opponents – some of them students, some of them veteran politicians” in citing unnamed “human rights groups and constitutional experts (claiming) Venezuela is increasingly singling out and imprisoning its foes in politically motivated witch hunts.”

Forero didn’t mention that Rivas fomented violence. Others arrested also broke the law. No one is a political prisoner, and all Venezuelans get fair and equitable trials, unlike in America where real political arrests, prosecutions and convictions happen regularly against innocent targeted victims – a topic NPR and PBS won’t touch except to vilify them publicly on-air.

Nor do they report truthfully on Occupied Palestine. On October 12, 2009, on NPR’s Morning Edition, reporter Renee Montagne practically extolled Israeli racism in stating:

“There is a new enemy for some Israelis: romance between Jewish women and Arab men, (so) vigilantes have banded together to fight it.” She means from “Jewish settlements” that “have sprung up (in) traditionally Arab” East Jerusalem, but won’t admit they’re on stolen Palestinian land.

NPR’s Sheera Frankel joined a patrol, implied Arabs are inferior to Jews, and suggested they pose a danger to Jewish women and girls. She described vigilantes on the lookout for “Arab-Jewish couples (to) break up their dates,” suggesting it’s the right thing to do, but never questioning the legitimacy of settlements, vigilante violence in East Jerusalem, its lawless disregard for the law, or great harm to innocent people. Instead she called “mixed couples a growing epidemic” of miscegenation – typical of NPR’s racism and one-sided support for Israel.

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ)

The WSJ is Dow Jones & Company’s flagship publication, now a News Corp. one since Rupert Murdoch bought it in August 2007. Stating its ideology up front, it says it supports “free markets and free people” as well as “free trade and sound money; against confiscatory taxation and the ukases (edicts) of kings and other collectivists; and for individual autonomy against dictators, bullies and even the tempers of momentary majorities.”

In October 2007, FAIR bemoaned the Murdock takeover because of his “penchant for using his holdings as vehicles for his personal (views) and business interests.” Earlier FAIR and the Columbia Journalism Review criticized its editorial page for inaccuracy, extreme bias, and dishonesty.

The Journal is unapologetic in saying its philosophy “make(s) no pretense of walking down the middle of the road. Our comments and interpretations are made from a definite point of view….We oppose all infringements on individual rights, whether (from) private monopoly, labor union monopoly or from an overgrowing government.(We’re) not much interested in labels but if we were to choose one, we would say we are radical.”

Radical can be revolutionary and beneficial when it backs fundamental progressive change and reform. Webster defines it as:

“marked by a considerable departure from the usual and traditional: extreme; tending or disposed to make extreme changes in existing views, habits, conditions, or institutions; of, relating to, or constituting a political (or perhaps business) group associated with views, practices, and policies of extreme change; (or) advocating extreme measures to retain or restore a political state of affairs” such the radical right represented by the WSJ’s management and editorial writers.

Critics agree that they’re on the far right extremist fringe, a supporter of voodoo economics, tax cuts for the rich, a staunch defender of executive privilege, and disdainful of anything to the left of their views as witnessed daily by some of the most outlandish, one-sided, pro-business commentaries countenancing no alternatives, with the rarest of rare exceptions showing up to make the paper look fair, which it’s not.

Consider editorial board member Mary O’Grady in her weekly Americas column on “politics, economics and business in Latin America and Canada.” Her extremism is unmatched. Her style is agitprop; her space a truth-free zone; her language hateful and vindictive; her tone malicious and slanderous; her style bare-knuckled thuggishness; and her material calculating, mendacious, and shameless. Yet she’s a WSJ regular and an award-winning op-ed writer, but surely no journalist according to Webster’s definition:

“writing characterized by a direct presentation of facts or description of events without an attempt at interpretation.”

O’Grady fails on both counts. She’s a kind of print version of Fox News’ Glenn Beck, who promotes himself on glennbeck.com looking arrogant in a uniform reminiscent of the Nazi SS.

Consider O’Grady’s support for the Washington-backed June 28 Honduran coup ousting a democratically elected president. It was followed by months of mass arrests, disappearances, killings, targeting the independent media, suspending the Constitution, declaring martial law, and threatening the Brazilian embassy’s sovereignty where President Manuel Zelaya took refuge after returning.

In one of her many pro-coup articles, O’Grady (on July 13) headlined “Why Honduras Sent Zelaya Away.” In a “perfect world,” according to her, he “would be in jail in his own country right now, awaiting trial. The Honduran attorney general (part of the coup regime) has charged him with deliberately violating Honduran law and the Supreme Court (stacked with pro-coup justices) ordered his arrest in Tegucigalpa on June 28,” the day of the coup.

“But the Honduran military whisked him out of the country, to Costa Rica,” to save itself the embarrassment of jailing a democratically elected leader whose lawful actions were endorsed by the majority of Hondurans wanting progressive constitutional change and a president willing to give it to them.

Yet according to O’Grady, “Mr. Zelaya’s detention was legal, as was his official removal from office by Congress….Besides eagerly trampling the constitution, Mr. Zelaya had demonstrated that he was ready to employ the violent tactics of ‘chavismo’ to hang onto power. The decision to pack him off immediately was taken in the interest of protecting both constitutional order and human life.”

In fact, Zelaya neither espoused or practiced violence, and his call for a public June 28 vote on whether to hold a referendum for a new Constitutional Convention at the same time as the November elections lawfully asked for a “yes” or “no” on one question:

“Do you think that the November 2009 general elections should include a fourth ballot box (the other three were for candidates) in order to make a decision about the creation of a National Constitutional Assembly that would approve a new Constitution?”

According to Article 5 of the 2006 Honduran “Civil Participation Act,” government officials may hold non-binding inquiries (referenda) to determine popular support for proposed measures. Gauging sentiment for a National Constituent Assembly for a new Constitution is legal.

Yet in her June 28 article titled, “Honduras Defends Its Democracy,” O’Grady falsely claimed Zelaya planned “a constitutional rewrite (following) a national referendum” only the Congress can approve. In fact, Zelaya called for a vote to assess public sentiment, pro or con, on whether Hondurans want a Constitutional Convention, an act no different from a public opinion poll that’s perfectly legal or should be anywhere. But according to O’Grady, Zelaya “decided he would run the referendum himself.” It’s typical O’Grady truth reversal that earns her weekly space on the WSJ’s op-ed page.

The BBC’s Long Tradition As An Imperial Tool

State-owned and funded, it’s tradition is long, unbroken, and disturbing as the world’s largest and most influential broadcaster reaching global audiences in 32 languages. From inception in 1925, it’s been reliably pro-government and pro-business, or as its founder Lord Reith wrote the establishment: “They know they can trust us not to be really impartial.” Neither he or his successors disappointed on topics mattering most, including war and peace, corporate crimes, US-UK duplicity, labor rights, democratic freedoms, human and civil rights, social justice, and Western imperialism.

They’re consistently distorted, suppressed, marginalized or ignored throughout decades of misreporting despite claiming “honesty (and) integrity (is) what the BBC stands for (because it’s) free from political influence and commercial pressure.”

As a propaganda service, its record is uncompromisingly anti-union, pro-business, and dependably safe for Whitehall and its allies. It moralizes Western aggression, bashes independent democratic leaders, and cheerleads for the powerful at the expense of providing real news and information for millions believing BBC is credible. For over eight decades, it’s record is solid and predictable – betraying the public trust to reliably serve the powerful. The tradition continues.

Prominent TV Demagogues

Among the many, consider a select few. For example, CNN’s Lou Dobbs, “Mr. Independent” he calls himself. Critics use more descriptive terms, yet according to his loudobbs.tv.cnn.com bio:

He’s “anchor and managing editor of CNN’s Lou Dobbs Tonight (and also anchor of) a nationally syndicated financial news radio report, The Lou Dobbs Financial Report….” In addition, he writes a weekly CNN.com commentary, is an author and award-winning “journalist,” most recently in 2005 when “the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences awarded (him) the Emmy for Lifetime Achievement” for serving the usual special interests nightly on prime time TV.

In June 2004, he also won “the Eugene Katz Award for Excellence in the Coverage of Immigration from the Center for Immigration Studies for his ongoing series ‘Broken Borders,’ which examines US policy towards illegal immigration.” Little wonder in an August 2006 article, this writer called him CNN’s Vice President of Racism. He’s also a paid liar and in America wins awards.

In May 2008, a Media Matters Action Network report titled, “Fear & Loathing in Prime Time: Immigration Myths and Cable News” highlighted undocumented Latino hatemongering by Dobbs, Bill O’Reilly, and Glenn Beck, each claiming:

– an alleged connection between undocumented Latinos and crime; in fact, clear evidence shows they’re no more likely to break laws than American citizens;

– how they exploit social services and don’t pay taxes; in fact, undocumented immigrants are ineligible, without proof of legal status, for Medicaid, food stamps, State Children’s Health Insurance (SCHIP) and welfare; they do pay income, payroll, property, sales and other taxes and are entitled to public education; according to the National Academy of Sciences, immigrants provide a net annual gain of up to $10 billion to US GDP; according to Rand Corp. economist James P. Smith, the “net present value of the gains from those immigrants who arrived since 1980 would be $333 billion.”

– the “reconquista” myth about a supposed Mexican plot to take over the US Southwest; and

– an epidemic of Latino voter fraud that, according to Dobbs’ incessant drumbeat, puts America’s “democracy absolutely in jeopardy.”

He also propagates the myth that undocumented Latinos caused an increase in US leprosy (or Hansen’s disease). In an on-air April 2005 report (among others), correspondent Christine Romans quoted “medical lawyer” Dr. Madeleine Cosman saying:

“We have some enormous problems with horrendous diseases that are being brought into America by illegal aliens (including) leprosy….” Romans added that, according to Cosman, “there were about 900 (US) cases of leprosy for 40 years. There have been 7,000 in the past three years.”

According to a May 2007 “60 Minutes” report, the National Hansen’s Disease Program (NHDP) of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reported that “7,000 is the number of leprosy cases over the last 30 years, not the past three, and nobody knows how many of those cases involve illegal immigrants.” NHDP added that from 2002 – 2005 (the timeline of Cosman’s claim), only 398 cases occurred. To that, Dobbs responded: “If we reported it, it’s a fact.”

Founded in 1971, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is internationally known for its activism against hate groups and scoring legal victories against white supremacists. It says Dobbs regularly features inaccurate racist reports and features anti-immigrant hatemongers like:

– Glenn Spencer, head of the anti-immigration American Patrol, whose web site highlights anti-Mexican vitriol and the idea that Mexico plans a secret takeover of the Southwest;

– Joe McCutchen, head of the anti-immigration Protect Arkansas Now group, that Dobbs calls “a terrific group of concerned, caring Americans;”

– Paul Streitz, co-founder of Connecticut Citizens for Immigration Control, who once denounced Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. for “turning New Haven into a banana republic;”

– Barbara Coe, leader of the California Coalition for Immigration Reform who routinely calls Mexicans “savages;” and

– Chris Simcox, co-founder of the Minuteman Project and a leading anti-immigration figure.

SPLC explains that Dobbs “doggedly explores and supports the anti-immigration movement (and) won’t report salient negative facts about anti-immigration leaders he approves of….”

Instead, he falsely claims that:

– “just about a third of the prison population in this country is estimated to be illegal aliens;”

– states have been “overwhelmed by criminal illegal aliens;” and

– US borders are “unprotected” allowing “criminal illegal aliens (to) murder police officers.”

In 2007 alone, the connection between illegal immigration and crime was discussed on 94 episodes of Lou Dobbs Tonight, and dozens more focused on an “army of invaders,” immigrants not paying taxes, draining social services, and threatening our white Anglo-Saxon culture.

CNN reporters Casey Wian, Bill Tucker, Kitty Pilgrim and others present a steady diet of subtle and overt racism to incite viewers to believe it. Through constant repetition, it propagates the myth, and according to the Media Matters Action Network report:

Dobbs “is hailed by the entire spectrum of immigration opponents, from the reasonable to the unreasonable. And the degree to which extremist elements see (him) as an ally indicates at the very least that they believe he is helping their cause” because they feel he’s a populist crusader.

Yet according to a July 30 New York Observer report, recent Nielsen data showed that after Dobbs began reporting (on July 15) that Barack Obama’s birth certificate was fraudulent (an apparent stunt to increase ratings), his viewership dropped significantly – 15% overall and 27% in the valued 25 – 54 age category.


Paid Lying – What Passes For Major Media Journalism « Pak Alert Press



Paid Lying – What Passes For Major Media Journalism « Pak Alert Press
http://pakalert.wordpress.com/2009/11/22/paid-lying-what-passes-for-major-media-journalism/

Fox News Channel (FNC)

When it debuted in 1996, one of its on-air hosts said:

The “Channel was launched (because) something was wrong with news media….somewhere bias found its way into reporting….Fox….is committed to being fair and balanced (covering) stories everybody is reporting – and….stories….you will see only on Fox.”

Later the Columbia Journalism Review said several former Fox employees “complained of ‘management sticking their fingers’ in the writing and editing stories to cook the facts to make a story more palatable to right-of-center tastes.” But it hasn’t hurt ratings.

As of Q 1 2009, FNC was the second highest rated cable channel in prime time total viewers. CNN ranked 17th and MSNBC 24th. The O’Reilly Factor has been #1 rated on cable news for 100 consecutive months and gained 27% more viewers year-over-year. Glenn Beck increased 90% over the previous year. Overall, FNC topped CNN and MSNBC combined in prime time total audience.

Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) said “Fox’s signature political news show, Special Report with Brit Hume (now with Bret Baier) was originally created as a daily one-hour update devoted to the 1998 Clinton sex scandal.” In the past year, it gained 39% more viewers.

As for accuracy and being “fair and balanced,” FAIR (in summer 2001) called FNC “The Most Biased Name in News,” yet according to Murdoch in March 2001:

“I challenge anybody to show me an example of bias in Fox News Channel.”

In FAIR’s Seth Ackerman article and later ones, FNC’s blatant manipulation of the news is exposed. For example, Bret Baier’s “Political Grapevine” is a right-wing “hot sheet” featuring a “series of gossipy items culled from other right-wing” sources. It and other reports are blatantly partisan propaganda against “liberal media bias,” progressives, environmentalists, anti-war activists, civil rights groups, and others to the left of their views.

According to FAIR, the commentary on political punditry programs like The O’Reilly Factor, the Sean Hannity Show, and The Beltway Boys is so slanted that it’s like watching “a Harlem Globetrotters game (knowing) which side is supposed to win.”

FNC’s Bill O’Reilly

His official bio calls The O’Reilly Factor “a unique blend of news analysis and hard hitting investigative reporting dropped each weeknight into ‘The No Spin Zone.” He also hosts a syndicated radio show, writes a weekly column carried in over 300 newspapers, and authored several books that according to New York Times writer Janet Maslin were “either (done) with a collaborator or (O’Reilly) was born with a ghostwriter’s gift for filling space with platitudes….” With good reason, Maslin called him “one of the most controversial human beings in the world….”

In an October 2008 report titled “Smearcasting,” FAIR called him an “Islamophobe” for spreading “fear, bigotry and misinformation” along with 11 other popular figures, including Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Michelle Malkin (another FNC regular), David Horowitz, and Pat Robertson.

After 9/11, FAIR said O’Reilly proposed attacking a list of Muslim countries “if they did not submit to the US – starting with Afghanistan.”

On air he said:

“The US should bomb the Afghan infrastructure to rubble – the airport, the power plants, their water facilities and the roads….If they don’t rise up against this primitive country, they starve, period.”

Iraq must also be destroyed he said, and “the population made to endure yet another round of intense pain.” As for Libya, “Nothing goes in, nothing goes out….Let them eat sand.”

FAIR called his penchant for attacking Muslim countries “an O’Reilly trademark”, and “his disregard for Muslim civilians is matched by the anti-Muslim sentiments he frequently expresses on both his nationally syndicated radio show, the Radio Factor,” reaching 3.5 million listeners, and his top-rated FNC show.

Some of his hateful comments include saying:

– areas of London are “just packed with just dense Muslim neighborhoods, which breed this kind of contempt for Western society. Why do they let them in;”

– “We’re at war with Muslim fanatics. So all young Muslims should be subject to (special) scrutiny, (saying it’s not racial, just) “criminal profiling;”

– “the most unattractive women in the world are probably in Muslim countries;” and

– in Iraq, he blamed killing on Islam: “They’re all Muslims, and they’re doing what they do. They’re killing each other. And they’re killing Americans.”

O’Reilly is equally racist about Latino immigrants with frequent comments like:

“The extreme elements in this country want open borders, blanket amnesty, and entitlement for foreign nationals who have come here illegally, and generally want to change the demographics in the USA so political power can be assumed by the left. That is the end game.” He also argues that “Low-skilled immigrant labor costs the taxpayers today $19,000 to (subsidize) people who are using the hospitals (and) the education system….These are rock-solid stats,” but O’Reilly won’t say from where.

They’re blatantly false and may be from a May 2007 Robert Rector/Christine Kim (right-wing think tank) Heritage Foundation paper titled, “The Fiscal Cost of Low-Skill Immigrants to State and Local Taxpayers.”

O’Reilly spreads daily misinformation, innuendo, and hateful demagoguery to millions of his daily faithful. Like the others above, they’re paid liars delivering what passes for today’s major media journalism. It’s why so much of the public is misinformed and the reason more hate groups than ever proliferate.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), they numbered 926 in 2008, up from 602 in 2000 and are “animated by the national immigration debate.” Since Obama took office, they’re also driven by their hatred of a black president, exacerbated by a growing economic crisis that’s easy to blame on the undocumented and a non-white head of state.

These groups are ideologically vicious and extremely dangerous when motivated by racist right-wing media commentators reaching far larger audiences than more saner voices drowned out. It’s more evidence of social decay and the urgent need for change.

The Right-Wing Media Attack ACORN

Founded in 1970, ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) “is the nation’s largest grassroots community organization of low and moderate income people with over 400,000 member families organized into more than 1,200 neighborhood chapters in about 75 cities across the country.”

As the nation’s preeminent community organizing group, it backs a living wage, opposes predatory lending and foreclosures, supports affordable housing, better public schools, welfare reform, voting rights, rebuilding New Orleans, and other social and economic justice issues.

For many months as a result, right-wing extremists have tried to discredit its successes online and through the media. Led by Fox News, Lou Dobbs, and others, it’s accused of financial corruption, massive voter fraud, and other indiscretions, mostly fabricated to destroy the group’s credibility, cut off its funding, and harm other community organizing efforts. However, compared to corporate fraud and abuse scandals, ACORN’s occasional missteps are minor, insignificant, and undeserving of inflammatory media headlines.

Nonetheless recent news stories featured false accusations that ACORN engages in prostitution nationwide. The supposed evidence came from two right-wing filmmakers (Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe) posing as prostitute and pimp, conveniently videotaped for airing. In prime time especially, Fox News, Lou Dobbs and others featured it nightly.

On September 14, Dobbs reported “another pimp and prostitute scandal at the left-wing activist organization ACORN. For the third time, ACORN workers for the left-wing advocacy group (got) caught on hidden camera breaking the law. Now calls from Congress to investigate and cut off public funding are growing.”

According to Fox News Bill O’Reilly, “With more than 30 criminal ‘convictions’ on its resume, the organization cannot be trusted.” Based on no credible evidence, other FNC reports accuse ACORN of “operat(ing) as a criminal enterprise,” including prostitution, running a prostitution ring, filing false documents with taxing and other government authorities, bank fraud, violating immigration laws, transporting women and children to America for immoral purposes, and impairing the welfare of minors.

More evidence of reprehensible innuendo, distortion, deceit, and misinformation from major media paid liars. It’s why web sites like this one gain followers.

Pass this on to your church, co-workers, family, and friends.  What do you have to lose but 44 cents, what do you have to gain ----------- more than you will ever know. 
What a clever idea!
Yes, Christmas cards. This is coming early so that you can get ready to include an important address to your list.

Want to have some fun this CHRISTMAS? Send the ACLU a CHRISTMAS CARD this year.

As they are working so very hard to get rid of the CHRISTMAS part of this holiday, we should all send them a nice,
CHRISTIAN card to brighten up their dark, sad, little world..

Make sure it says "Merry Christmas" on it.

Here's the address, just don't be rude or crude. (It's not the
Christian way, you know.)

  ACLU
125 Broad Street
18th Floor
New York, NY 10004


Two tons of Christmas cards would freeze their operations because they wouldn't know if any were regular mail containing contributions.  So spend 44 cents and tell the ACLU to leave Christmas alone. Also tell them that there is no such thing as a " Holiday Tree". . . It's always been called a CHRISTMAS TREE!

And pass this on to your email lists. We really want to communicate with the ACLU! They really DESERVE us!!

For those of you who aren't aware of them, the ACLU, (the American Civil Liberties Union) is the one suing the U.S. Government to take God, Christmas or anything Christian away from us. They represent the atheists and others in this war. Help put Christ back in Christmas!

David received a parrot for his birthday. This parrot was fully grown with a bad
attitude and terrible vocabulary. Every other word was an expletive.Those that
weren't expletives were, to say the least, rude. David tried hard tochange the
bird's attitude. He was constantly saying polite words and playingsoft music, he
did anything he could think of. Nothing worked. When he yelled at the bird, the
bird got worse. If he shook the bird, the bird got madder and ruder. Finally in
a moment of desperation, David put the parrot in the freezer.For a few moments
he heard the bird squawking, kicking and screaming and then suddenly, there was
quiet. David was frightened that he might have actually hurt the bird and
quickly opened the freezer door. The parrot calmly stepped out onto David's
extended arm and said: "I'm sorry that I might have offended you with my
language and actions, so I ask for your forgiveness. I will try to correct my
behavior." David was astounded at the bird's change in attitude and was about to
ask what had changed him when the parrot continued: "May I ask what the
chickendid?"

Q: Why do hens lay eggs? A: If they dropped them, they'd break

Q: What is a crowbar? A: A place were crows go to get adrink!

Q: Why did the turkey cross the road? A: To prove he wasn't chicken.

Q: Why did the rooster cross the road? A: To get to the chick acrossthe street!

Late one night, a burglar broke into a house he thought was empty. He tiptoed
through the living room but suddenly he froze in his tracks when heheard a loud
voice say: "Jesus is watching you!" Silence returned to the house,so the burglar
crept forward again. "Jesus is watching you," the voice boomed again. The
burglar stopped dead again. He was frightened. Frantically, he looked all
around. In a dark corner, he spotted a bird cage and in the cage was a parrot.
He asked the parrot: "Was that you who said Jesus is watching me?" "Yes", said
the parrot. The burglar breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the parrot: "What's
your name?" "Clarence," said the bird. "That's a dumb name for a parrot,"
sneered the burglar. "What idiot named you Clarence?" The parrot said,"The same
idiot who named the Rottweiller Jesus."

How do you identify a bald eagle? All his feathers are combed over toone side.

What do you get if you cross a nun and a chicken? A peckingorder.
What's brown and white and flies all over? Thanksgiving turkey, when you carve
it with a chain saw!

A man with a talking parrot is getting married. On the day of the wedding he
says to the parrot "Now look here, I know you are always sat in that window
sticking your beak in, when me and my new wife get back from the wedding I want
you to turn round and and no matter what you hear I do not want you to turn back
or I'll break your neck, do you understand?" The parrot reluctantly agrees. On
returning from the wedding the parrot turns round as instructed, and behind him
the bride and groom start to pack for the honeymoon. The wife however has packed
too much and they can't get the case closed. "Get on top and sit on it baby!"
Says the man the woman does so and grunts and moans but can't shut the case.
"You get on top baby it might be better" Says the wife, so the man grunts and
groans and tries his best but still cant shut the case. After a little thought
the man says "Ok we'll both get on top see if that's any better!" The parrot
turns round and says "Neck or no neck I have to see this!"

Subject: Just4million.com - The Iraq Inquiry Scam gets underway today - Don't hold your breath!

 

Bush-Bama may not be interested in looking into the legality of the Iraq War and Occupation,
but in the UK, a new official inquiry starts today.

Nothing may come of it, but it's good to be reminded - in detail - about the illegality,
immorality and stupidity of this war which as sold on both sides of the Atlantic
on a flood of deliberate lies.
The UK is launching an official inquiry into the Iraq War today.
Olier Miles, former British Ambassador to Libya, said in the 11/22/09 issue of The Independent "the key question - is Blair a war criminal."
If he is a war criminal, Blair was is certainly a well paid one.
He's an advisor to J.P. Morgan and Zurich Financial Services and makes up to 150,000 British Pounds per speech.
Total annual income: 5 million British Pounds per year plus a 7 million British Pound advance for his memoirs.

1) BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS PROTEST AT IRAQ INQUIRY

The first public hearings of the Iraq Inquiry begin on Tuesday
24 November and Stop the War has called a protest outside to  
demand that Tony Blair and Gordon Brown are held to account  
for war crimes which led to the deaths of hundreds of
thousands of Iraqis and 179 British troops.

Joining the protest will be representatives from Military  
Families Against the War, reminding the inquiry committee of  
the anger felt by many relatives of British soldiers killed in
Iraq. (See http://bit.ly/ Gtl4q)

Sir John Chilcot, the chairman of the inquiry, insists that it
will not be a whitewash but the committee - the five members  
of which were all hand picked by Gordon Brown - looks like it
was set up with exactly that purpose. (See  
http://bit.ly/ AmpEK)

Leaked secret government reports that prove Tony Blair's  
serial lying throughout 2002, as he repeatedly denied there  
were any preparations for war, will make it difficult for the
enquiry to deny that Parliament and the British public were  
mislead. (See http://bit.ly/ 6ze4Qd)

But the logical conclusion that Blair or anyone in his
government should be indicted on the basis of such evidence  
has already been discounted by Chilcot, despite the majority  
of bereaved military families having already told his
committee that this is the outcome they expect if war crimes  
are proven.

Please join the protest if you can. For more details:

2) MORE MILITARY FAMILIES GO TO DOWNING STREET

Members of military families and ex-soldiers from across the  
country have pledged to join the protest at Downing Street on
Monday 21 December. Speaking on behalf of the families, Graham
Knight and Joan Humphries - both bereaved relatives who lost  
loved ones in Afghanistan - explain why they are making this  
protest:

"We will demand to see Gordon Brown and present him with a  
petition signed by tens of thousands of people who are calling
for the troops to be brought home. We have suffered terrible  
personal loss in this war in Afghanistan and we don't want any
more families to go through the same pain."

Exeter, Plymouth, York, Dundee, Manchester, Chesterfield,  
Burnley and Leeds are just some of the places which have  
organised delegations of supporters to come down with the  
military families.

Military Families Against the War (http://www.mfaw. net/) is  
inviting the widest possible support for 21 December. Stop the
War is asking all its local groups to organise delegations and
make contact with military families in their area.

If you know of military family members who are opposed to the
war, please inform them about the protest on 21 December and  
put them in touch with the national Stop the War office: call
020 7801 2768 or email office@stopwar. org.uk.

Please make sure you, your friends and contacts have signed  
the Bring the Troops Home petition, which they can do online  
(http://bit.ly/ 8jLhRk) or by downloading the petition to  
collect signatures (http://bit.ly/ rNaTZ).

3) GOVERNMENT MINISTER DEBATES WITH STOP THE WAR

At last a government minister will debate publicly with Stop  
the War.

Barely a day passes without Gordon Brown or one of his
ministers desperately trying to justify a war which an ever  
increasing majority of the British public believes is futile  
and which wants all the troops to come home.

This is the background to government Minister for the Armed  
Forces, Bill Rammel, agreeing to debate with Lindsey German  
from Stop the War Coalition and Bruce Kent from CND in London
on Tuesday 24 November. Other panellists include Peter
Gilchrist, a former army Commander in Afghanistan.

Lance Corporal Joe Glenton has been imprisoned for 28 days as
the first stage of proceedings against him for five charges  
which carry a maximum sentence of ten years.

Joe's imprisonment is intended to silence his opposition to  
the war in Afghanistan, but he has already said he will still
speak out.

Joe needs the support of the anti-movement more than ever.  
Stop the War is asking all its local groups to send messages  
to Joe (see below), if they haven't already done so.

Please circulate as widely as you can Joe's contact details  
and encourage anyone you know who opposes the war to email or

With 98 British soldiers having been killed so far in 2009, it
seems tragically likely that the 100 mark for this year will  
be passed within the next week or two. Stop the War has asked
all its local groups to organise protests and vigils on the  
weekend following the hundredth death.

Policy, portfolios and the investor lawmaker

As stock ownership rises in Congress, experts warn of potential ethics concerns

 
". . .growing investments on Capitol Hill, such as those in the medical-device industry, raise questions about appearances of conflict. Even if lawmakers have done nothing wrong, ethics specialists said, such apparent conflicts are troubling because it is often impossible to know whether the lawmaker is acting in the interest of citizens or their own portfolios. On Wall Street and in federal agencies, the suggestion of a conflict is often the basis for an investigation.[This time there should be NO ESCAPE] 

The uncertainty created about lawmakers' motivation undermines confidence in Congress and the political process, the specialists say. More than half of all lawmakers own stock. In the House, the number of lawmakers trading stock jumped from 91 in 2001 to 259 today, according to academic researchers and the nonprofit Center for Responsive Politics. That includes 68 lawmakers who, as of the beginning of 2008, individually owned more than $100,000 in stock, not including mutual funds.

Some of the most popular stocks in Congress are also widely held across the country, including General Electric, Microsoft, Bank of America, Procter & Gamble and other blue-chip names. Some of these companies are also government contractors or bailout recipients. Top industries include oil and gas, electronics and health-care products. In the medical-device field alone, 108 lawmakers collectively own $6 million to $14 million worth of stock. " read the whole story:

The day ends in 'y,' so it's time for another AfPak bl*w job. US to give $38.7 million to 27 Afghan provinces to reduce poppy cultivation --A report published last month in The New York Times identified the brother of Afghan President Hamid Karzai as a CIA operative and a major opium dealer. He was also reported to have close ties with the Taliban. 24 Nov 2009 The US government has made a commitment to provide financial aid to Afghan provinces that have reduced or eliminated the production of opium. The United States signed a memorandum of understanding on Monday according to which it agreed to give $38.7 million to 27 Afghan provinces that eliminated or significantly reduced poppy production in the world's biggest supplier country, AFP reported. According to the MOU, the money will be handed over to Afghanistan' s counter-narcotics ministry [Flush twice. It's a log way to the Afghan counter-narcotics Ministry.], which will disperse the cash to the 27 different provinces to finance development or alternative crops. [LOL. Am I the only one to observe that the US pays to *cultivate* Afghan opium poppies, while simultaneously paying to *reduce* them? Oh, but we can't get single-payer health care or the public option --too expensive.  --LRP]

Obomba poised for special Thanksgiving holiday 'bad news' dump: Afghanistan decision to come within days, White House says 26 Nov 2009 President Obama will announce within days whether he will send more troops to Afghanistan, the White House said after he met with his national security team Monday night. "After completing a rigorous final meeting, President Obama has the information he wants and needs to make his decision and he will announce that decision within days," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said. [Right, Monday night, but the PentaPost leak will likely take place on Thanksgiving.]

Top Democrat warns Afghanistan will bankrupt domestic programs, threatens war surtax if Obama sends more troops 23 Nov 2009 David Obey came to Congress in 1969, a young Democratic congressman from Wisconsin, opposed to the Vietnam War and mindful of the funding it was draining from Lyndon Johnson's Great Society programs. Thirty years later, he is chairman of the House Appropriations Committee and adamant that Afghanistan is a similar quagmire that could bankrupt President Obama's domestic agenda. "There ain't going to be no money for nothing if we pour it all into Afghanistan, " House Appropriations Chairman David Obey told ABC News. "If they ask for an increased troop commitment in Afghanistan, I am going to ask them to pay for it." Comparing Afghanistan to Vietnam, Obey said that both were long-standing civil wars and that, in each case, the United States found itself with an unreliable partner on the ground.

Bomb in water truck kills 3 in Afghanistan 24 Nov 2009 A remote-controlled bomb hidden in a water truck exploded in eastern Afghanistan on Tuesday, killing three people including two children, the Interior Ministry said. Another two children and one man were wounded in the attack in the eastern province of Khost, it said.

Leaked documents reveal No 10 cover-up over Iraq invasion --Inquiry to hear how Blair hid true intentions for war 22 Nov 2009 Military commanders are expected to tell the inquiry into the Iraq war, which opens on Tuesday, that the invasion was ill-conceived and that preparations were sabotaged by Tony Blair's government's attempts to mislead the public. They were so shocked by the lack of preparation for the aftermath of the invasion that they believe members of the British and US governments at the time could be prosecuted for war crimes by breaching the duty outlined in the Geneva convention to safeguard civilians in a conflict, the Guardian has been told.

Does this picture show British soldiers broke Geneva Conventions? Public inquiry to be launched into allegations of abuse torture against Iraqi civilians at UK-run detention camp 24 Nov 2009 A photograph handed to The Independent claims to show Iraqi civilians captured in southern Iraq being mistreated by British soldiers in breach of international law and the Geneva Conventions. The incident is to be investigated at a public inquiry to be announced tomorrow by Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth, which will also examine evidence of one of the worst atrocities ever carried out by the British Army. It is claimed that hours after the picture was taken, the four men were transferred to a UK-run detention camp where they were badly beaten and where 20 other civilians were murdered by British soldiers. The covering of a prisoner's face and rear handcuffing on the ground is a breach of Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions which prohibits the humiliating and degrading treatment of detainees.

U.S. soldier killed in Iraq 23 Nov 2009 An American soldier was killed in action south of Baghdad, the U.S. military said Monday. A Multi-National Division South (MND-S) soldier was killed on Sunday, a military statement said without providing further details.

Day 2 of drill: Iran warns Israel against stupid mistake 23 Nov 2009 Tehran begins the second day of a sweeping aerial drill with a strong warning to Tel Aviv: Israeli warplanes 'will come tumbling down' if they step out of line. Israel routinely threatens to bomb Iran's nuclear sites, arguing that the country's enrichment activities are an existential threat to Tel Aviv, which ironically is reported to have an arsenal of 200 nuclear warheads at its disposal. The threats were repeated only last week when Gabi Ashkenazi, the chief-of-staff of Israel's armed forces, dropped heavy hints at an upcoming attack on Iran.

Secret files show UK courts were misled over 9/11 suspect --The Guardian has obtained classified documents produced by the FBI and anti-terrorist officials in the UK after the 9/11 attacks which shed new light on how the courts were misled. 22 Nov 2009 British prosecutors failed to disclose crucial evidence to the courts in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks in a case that resulted in an innocent pilot being jailed for five months, previously unseen documents reveal. Lotfi Raissi, an Algerian living in the UK, was the first person in the world to be arrested after the 2001 attacks in New York and Washington DC.

Several of the victims were beheaded in the massacre carried out by a huge force of [rightwing] gunmen.

'Terrorist network in S Waziristan dismantled' 24 Nov 2009 The Pakistani army claims it has succeeded in dismantling the terrorist network in South Waziristan.

'Police targeting people for their DNA' --Watchdog says quest for data undermines presumption of innocence 24 Nov 2009 Police forces have been arresting people simply to add them to the controversial DNA database as a result of lax rules that have developed with almost no public scrutiny, the Government's independent DNA watchdog warns today. The Human Genetics Commission (HGC) also says there is little evidence that the national DNA database, the largest of its kind in the world, is of any use in solving crimes. In its two-year report examining the database, published today, it concludes that allowing police to add anyone arrested to the DNA database damages the assumption of innocence.

New US vaccine production techniques: Genetically modified insect cells, E. coli, caterpillar ovaries 24 Nov 2009 Spurred by $487 million in federal funding, a sprawling new vaccine factory is opening in North Carolina Tuesday that will produce shots using dog cells instead of chicken eggs. A Connecticut biotech company has also applied to sell a vaccine employing a radically different approach involving a genetically engineered virus infecting insect cells... Baxter International won approval last month to sell an H1N1 vaccine in Europe that uses a decades-old line of African green monkey kidney cells, and it is working on a vaccine for the United States. Protein Sciences of Meriden, Conn., has applied to the FDA for approval to sell a vaccine made by genetically engineering flu genes into a worm virus, which then infects cells from caterpillar ovaries to produce the necessary proteins to make vaccine. VaxInnate of Cranbury, N.J., for example, produced an experimental H1N1 vaccine using genetically engineered E.coli bacteria, and Vical of San Diego just won a $1.25 million contract from the Navy to develop an H1N1 vaccine that involves injecting DNA sequences from the virus directly into people.

1918 RBD D225G in Lung Cases in Ukraine and Norway (Recombinomics) 21 Nov 2009 For the two 1918 HA variants, the South Carolina (SC) HA (with Asp190, Asp225) bound exclusively alpha2-6 receptors, while the New York (NY) variant, which differed only by one residue (Gly225), had mixed alpha2-6/alpha2- 3 specificity, especially for sulfated oligosaccharides. The above description is from a paper analyzing receptor binding domain differences in sequences from the 1918 pandemic. The New York variant had D225G, the same change found in lung tissues from fatal swine H1N1 sequences in Brazil, Ukraine, and Norway. The above result clearly demonstrated a change in receptor specificity for D225G, which was present in A/New York/1/1918 and A/London/1/1919, demonstrating the same change I 1918 that has been described in 2009.

NSA helped with Windows 7 development 18 Nov 2009 The National Security Agency (NSA) worked with Microsoft on the development of Windows 7, an agency official acknowledged yesterday during testimony before Congress. "Working in partnership with Microsoft and elements of the Department of Defense, NSA leveraged our unique expertise and operational knowledge of system threats and vulnerabilities to enhance Microsoft's operating system security guide without constraining the user to perform their everyday tasks, whether those tasks are being performed in the public or private sector," Richard Schaeffer, the NSA's information assurance director, told the Senate's Subcommittee on Terrorism and Homeland Security yesterday as part of a prepared statement.

Rove: Shift of Blame to Dems Almost Complete --'This is surely some of my best work since I was able to convince millions of Americans that George W. Bush should be in the White House rather than the nut house.' By R J Shulman 24 Nov 2009 Karl Rove announced today on Fox News that the Republican strategy to shift the blame for all of America's woes from anything the Republicans may have caused to Obama and the Democrats is a complete success. Rove has been the mastermind of a new movement called the Shift of Blamers -- or SOBs -- who have replaced birthers, deathers, Tenthers, and teabaggers as the most successful anti-Obama group thus far. The SOBs are made up of prominent Republicans, Fox News and the vast majority of talk radio. (Satire)

Previous lead stories: Hostility between British and American military leaders revealed --The deep hostility of Britain’s senior military commanders in Iraq towards their American allies has been revealed in classified Government documents leaked to the Daily Telegraph. 22 Nov 2009 In the papers, the British chief of staff in Iraq, Colonel J.K.Tanner, described his US military counterparts as "a group of Martians" [Good one! Guess who was the Top Martian --aka Commander in Thief --in 2003?] for whom "dialogue is alien," saying: "Despite our so-called 'special relationship, ' I reckon we were treated no differently to the Portuguese." Col Tanner’s boss, the top British commander in the country, Major General Andrew Stewart, told how he spent "a significant amount of my time" "evading" and "refusing" orders from his US superiors.

US 'helps build anti-Taliban militias' in Afghanistan 22 Nov 2009 The United States has begun helping a number of anti-Taliban militias [death squads] in several parts of Afghanistan in hopes for a large-scale tribal rebellion against the radical Islamic movement, The New York Times reported late Saturday. The newspaper said US and Afghan officials were planning to spur the growth of similar armed groups across the Taliban heartland in the southern and eastern parts of the country. The officials say they are hoping the plan, called the Community Defense Initiative, will bring together thousands of gunmen to protect their neighborhoods from Taliban 'insurgents, ' the report said. ['Community Defense Initiative.' Gee, it even *sounds* like something straight out of Nazi Germany or Joe Lieberman's Homeland Security Committee. --LRP]

Army faces inquiry over 'Battle of Danny Boy' torture claims --Evidence indicating torture and mutilation allegedly includes close-range bullet wounds, the removal of eyes and stab wounds, human rights lawyers have claimed. 21 Nov 2009 Claims that British soldiers tortured and murdered up to 20 prisoners after a battle with Iraqi 'insurgents' are to be scrutinised at a public inquiry. Concern that the Army covered up the most serious accusation of war crimes that it has faced has prompted Bob Ainsworth, the Defence Secretary, to order the independent inquiry. Mr Ainsworth is due to tell MPs next week that the inquiry will centre on an incident known as the Battle of Danny Boy. It took place in May 2004 and involved soldiers from the Argyll and Southern Highlanders and the Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment... Iraqi families claim that some of those killed had been captured alive before being tortured and murdered by troops at Camp Abu Naji, a British base. Evidence indicating torture and mutilation allegedly includes close-range bullet wounds, the removal of eyes and stab wounds, human rights lawyers have claimed.

Subject: COUNTERINSURGENCY' S FUTURE IS IN AMERICA
 
For months we've heard about General McChrystal's "counter-insurgency " strategy in Afghanistan, involving tens of thousands more troops. We've heard much less about the US government's "counter-insurgency " strategy for America. But it's America -- not Afghanistan -- where the strategy is already in place, and where the real action may take place.

According to one report, which documents the "unraveling" of US society, "the demand for guns and ammunition has hit a record high and the gun industry cannot produce enough bullets to keep up with orders. American's are arming themselves to the teeth! In the past year, 100 new armed militia groups have been formed, as militia members have doubled in numbers. Federal authorities are gravely concerned about the "uptick in militia activities." One federal authority recently said, "All it's lacking is a spark. I think it's only a matter of time before you see threats and violence."

The Official Documents

Contingency plans for martial law were signed by President Bush just before the election in November 2008. These plans, written in bureaucratic detail, have appeared on the Internet in what seems to be a leak of classified government documents. (US Domestic Control Measures.pdf by Bradley Moscrip)

Giving various reasons that would justify martial law (for example, "the refusal of the population to pay or unusual difficulty to collect rent, taxes, or loan payments"), the plans call for the suspension of the Constitution; the permanent confiscation of all firearms (while telling the gun owners that the confiscation is temporary); and the rounding up of large numbers of the "indigenous population" in detention camps.

Noting that there are presently 600 detention camps (soon to be expanded to 1500, generally in rural uninhabited areas), one of the documents provides the location of 94 of these detention sites in 28 states.

True or False?

How reliable is this information? Are these documents real? Popular conservative gate-keepers like Glenn Beck have pooh-poohed stories about the construction of detention sites across the country.

There's no way to be certain, but to me they ring true. And skeptics who have personally researched the matter say there is no doubt that these detention camps exist.  The real question is why.

Some say it's simply that the government needs to be prepared to maintain civil order in case of enemy attack or civil emergency. But this doesn't account for the scope and secrecy of the present plans. The documents posted on the Internet state that the real reason is the prospect of domestic insurrection.

In principle there's nothing new here. The state's first priority has always been to control its own population, especially when it is carrying out unpopular policies. In the 1860s the Lincoln administration not only  crushed the southern states that tried to secede, it also crushed all dissent (and there was a lot of it) in the northern states.

Secretary of War Stanton ordered federal law officers to imprison anyone engaged by act, speech, or writing, in discouraging volunteer enlistments in the army. Habeas corpus was suspended; newspaper publishers, judges, and legislators who dissented from the war policy were jailed; and when a draft was instituted, hundreds of protesters were shot and killed.

The potential for these kinds of draconian actions is more real today than any time since the 1860s. Hardly a week goes by that the government is not announcing some new peril. At one time it's a pandemic (currently swine flu);  at another time it's a terrorist attack; at yet another time it's a financial collapse (recall that a Congressman revealed a year ago that Congress was threatened with the imposition of martial law if they should fail to approve the emergency bank bailout).

Current federal policies seem almost guaranteed to create some such crisis. The federal government is treating our current economic problems by creating monumental new levels of debt. This is like an alcoholic trying to cure himself by drinking even more whiskey. Once the temporary artificial stimulus has passed, the result will be an even greater collapse.

Conclusion

There is no shortage of scenarios that would lead to martial law, and many would be created by the policies of the government itself. Whatever the details, we may be confident that it has drawn up plans to suspend the Constitution "temporarily" and to impose direct military control of the civilian population. In both Waco and Katrina, US military forces were employed, though not publicized. More recently, the Pentagon has established the Northern Command, designed to carry out military operations within the US.

Yes, we may launch a "counter-insurgency strategy" in Afghanistan, at least  for a while. But America's power is waning overseas. We're overextended militarily and financially. We're looking for a way to scale back if not withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan. (The new buzzword is "endgame.") Most significantly, Obama seems to be seeking to reduce American power and autonomy.

So the future for counter-insurgency may be here at home. The US government may be planning for a reduced role in the world, but it is not planning for a reduced role at home. On the contrary, it plans to take control of all aspects of American society, as well as integrate America into a global system. And it recognizes that these plans may lead to resistance. So it is ready with a counter-insurgency strategy, and willing and able to implement it. We would be well advised not to play into its hands.

What if China did to the US what the US has done to Iran? An analogy to help embrace facts

   We hold these Truths as self-evident. ..
President Obama is using the same aggressive rhetoric we saw prior to invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, with media repeating the quickly-verifiable lie that Iran's President threatened to "wipe Israel off the map." Previously, Senator Lieberman, Secretary of State Clinton, and former UN Ambassador John Bolton resumed rhetoric of a United States attack upon Iran. There are two general justifications they speak of to justify war: Iran's "nuclear program" and their threat to Israel.

Both claims are false (again, verify here and here), which follows a history of US lies regarding wars and a history of violent US intervention to control Iran's government.

Would it help to understand the facts to imagine if the US was in Iran’s position? Let’s find out with the following scenario of the current US role being played by China, and Iran being played by the US. It’s all based on the conservative history (non-contested as far as I know) of what the US has done to Iran and documented here. This is written from an American perspective.

In 1953, the CIA (China Intelligence Agency) overthrew the Eisenhower administration, installing a vicious dictator, Mr. Monarchy, who would lord over us until we deposed him in 1979. Ike had been elected in our democracy, and had the brass to demand renegotiation of oil contracts to increase the American share of the profit above 15%. The Chinese had helped develop our Texas oil fields from their occupation during the last world war. Ike’s threat of nationalizing our oil fields drove China over the edge. Their CIA staged Operation Ajax, put Ike in prison until 1956, and then kept him under house arrest until his death. 

The puppet-Chinese Monarch was welcome in Beijing, with the Chinese people not perceiving the irony and hypocrisy of their Cold War fighting for “freedom and democracy†while supporting a dictator who destroyed democracy in our country. CIA helped train Monarchy’s own secret service, who imprisoned and executed hundreds of thousands of Americans who defied Monarchy in any way. When Monarchy developed cancer and fled the US in 1979, he received medical treatment in China. The new US government demanded extradition to the US for mass murder against his own citizens. China refused.

In protest, Americans stormed the Chinese embassy in Washington DC, taking 53 hostages. China demanded their immediate release; but with refusal to extradite Monarchy to stand trial, the US refused. The US de facto leader, minister Billy Bible (who Monarchy exiled in 1964) said China had no right to complain, as they held our entire nation hostage since 1953. Americans rallied behind Bible, and the motto he developed while in exile: “We’ll be back. This regime will be terminated.â€

China imposed economic sanctions on the US and then supported their puppet-dictator in Mexico, Senor Saddam, to invade the US in 1980. Behind-the-scenes negotiations led to the hostages’ release in January, 1981, but China escalated their support of Mexico in their invasion. They didn’t lift a finger for international law to stop Mexico’s War of Aggression against us. Over a million Americans were killed in the war until 1988.

Along with Chinese attacks destroying US oil platforms and installations in the Gulf of Mexico in 1988, China also shot down and American commercial airliner 655, flying in American airspace, killing all 293 on board. China’s vice-president said he would never apologize for China, no matter what the facts were. The invasion and war ended at the end of 1988.

In 1990, China invaded Mexico but kept their dictator in power. China imposed harsh sanctions on Mexico, resulting in about a million civilian deaths, mostly children. Their secretary of state said the deaths of children were “regrettable but worth the cost.†They invaded again in 2003 for “regime change†after Mexico began accepting other currencies than China’s for oil export. This followed China’s 2002 invasion of Canada and occupation.

Americans realized we were surrounded by China and feared the worst, as history had demonstrated. We were right.

Beginning in 2003, China escalated rhetoric that the US, a non-nuclear power, was developing nuclear weapons in secret locations and that we were a government run by religious zealots (perhaps true, yes). The US began selling Texas oil exports for currency other than China’s in fear of devaluation of the Yuan from their government’s extensive borrowing and increased debt. In 2005 the US president delivers a speech in defense of Palestinian rights. He used the exact same phrase as our revolutionary hero, Billy Bible: “Palestine will be back. The Israeli regime will be terminated.â€

China snapped. Their political leaders and press claimed that the US is threatening to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Israel demanded the US be tried for crimes against humanity, said we were threatening another Holocaust (despite our large Jewish population), and requested our expulsion from the UN. China and Israel began to participate in war games. They openly discuss war with the US, including the use of nuclear weapons. This is all in blatant violation of the UN Charter to keep peaceful relations.

A second line of China-Israeli propaganda is over US pursuit of nuclear energy. China was in contract with the US and fully supported US nuclear energy when their puppet Monarchy was in charge, but after the 1979 revolution they reneged on all contracts, never refunding billions we paid for equipment. Both China and Israel state a military strike against the US is “on the table.â€

The US tries to distinguish our legal nuclear energy development that allows full inspections from IAEA from illegal nuclear weapons.

It does no good.

China and their controlled media relentlessly use the ambiguous phrasing of the US “nuclear program,†and broadcast fear of what might happen if we develop a nuclear weapon. China ignores and won’t discuss the terms of the Non-Proliferation Treaty where the US is allowed to develop nuclear energy, choosing to conflate nuclear energy and nuclear weapons in the minds of their citizens. Chinese news programs show the world a new 30,000 pound bomb to penetrate US underground targets.

While “officially†China says Christianity is a respectable religion, their media stoke fears that Christian extremists are in charge of the US. Many Chinese view Christians with fear, thinking we want to convert the world because we think any other religion leads to hell. Many of their media pundits explain that Chinese troops cannot leave Mexico and Canada because Christian extremists will take over and it’ll be a safe-haven for Christian terrorists committed to get to China and kill their civilians in terrorist attacks.

One of China’s top reporters with a history of documenting Chinese war crimes and broke the torture scandal against Mexican detainees reports China is actively engaged with their CIA to overthrow our government again.

China also insists their “Surge†in Mexico has decreased Mexican terrorism, but they accuse Americans and the US government of covertly aiding Mexican and Palesinian “terrorists.†They spin their invasion that Mexico and the world is better off, and China will increase troop presence in Canada during 2009 to defeat the “Maple Leaf†terrorist cells, who are a threat to Chinese national security. They increasingly use drone attacks against Canada and across the sea-border into northern Scotland, an apparently ungovernable part of the UK, a nuclear power.

The Chinese public is increasing aware of the facts, using the Internet and alternative media for communication. The Chinese government threatens to close the Internet for “national security†needs, should they arise.

As of November, 2009, the US has not yet been attacked by China and/or Israel, but the drums of war continue to beat against us, accompanied by China’s slick “mainstream media.†We hope and pray that the Chinese public and the world will understand that Americans don’t want war with anyone. We want cooperation, dignity, justice under law, and freedom.

After a million civilian deaths from China’s invasion of Mexico we know our fate will be similar if they attack us.

Colombian military 'on maximum alert'

http://www.heraldsu n.com.au/ news/breaking- news/colombian- military- on-maximum- alert/story- e6frf7k6- 1225801581503

COLOMBIA warned overnight that its forces were on "maximum alert'' and were prepared to defend against any attack, amid rising tensions with neighbouring Venezuela.

Webmaster's Commentary:
This situation could move from a war of words to a war of bullets in a heartbeat.

And considering what the anti-Chavez attitude in Washington, (coupled with the latest agreement between Columbia and this US regarding the presence of US troops in Columbia), perhaps this may well be a deliberate set-up to get the hostilities started.



US builds up its bases in oil-rich South America

 

http://uruknet. com/index. php?p=m60345&hd=&size=1&l=e


The United States is massively building up its potential for nuclear and non-nuclear strikes in Latin America and the Caribbean by acquiring unprecedented freedom of action in seven new military, naval and air bases in Colombia. The development – and the reaction of Latin American leaders to it – is further exacerbating America's already fractured relationship with much of the continent.

Drug Makers Raise Prices in Face of Health Care Reform

By DUFF WILSON

Even as drug makers promise to support Washington's health care overhaul by shaving $8 billion a year off the nation's drug costs after the legislation takes effect, the industry has been raising its prices at the fastest rate in years. In the last year, the industry has raised the wholesale prices of brand-name prescription drugs by about 9 percent, according to industry analysts. That will add more than $10 billion to the nation's drug bill, which is on track to exceed $300 billion this year.

Mark Twain said it best:

"A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes."

Lie of the century?
It wasn't "Katrina'
Turning a lie around after it's gone halfway around the world is not easy - but it can be done.
Here's an example of a small, grass roots group that's been relentless in getting the truth out about a so called "natural" catastrophe.
After four years, their effort is finally getting support from the courts.
The century is still young and the Bush-Bama administration were such masters of lying its hard to pick one...Iraq.. .9/11...the "healthy: economy...swine flu
But one of the most amazing - and vicious - lies of all time has to be that Hurricane Katrina destroyed the city of New Orleans.
Amazing because it flies in the face of all evidence and eye witness accounts.
Vicious because it removes the liability (and thus the potential of compensation) from the guilty party, the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Changing public opinion after a well-crafted and heavily promote lie has made its way around the world is on of the hardest things on earth to do, but if you stick with it long enough, you can do it.
Last week, as the result of a relentless, grass roots campaign, a judge finally agreed: It wasn't Katrina that devastated New Orleans, it was the systematic failure of the multi-billion dollar tax payer federal levee system.

these guys are plasma physicists, mythologists and plasma cosmologists who have put their heads together and discovered the real history of earth, man, and the solar system (and dragons). when you become familiar with this info you will not only have pierced a veil but you will never drive by a Target store again without thinking about what that sign really means.

THANKS very much Bill for this brief but very pregnant set of observations. This does indeed help a great deal, if  and when real people want to look further for what has been driving the coopted sections of our world. This is obviously NOT for everyone, but it does explain a bit more about that "Collider" that supposedly went on-line just a few days ago. . .

The local police chief in Ozark, Arkansas is standing behind one of his officers who tasered a 10-year-old girl who was refusing to go to bed.
 
The bizarre story is laid out in a police incident report obtained by website The Smoking Gun.
 
Officer Dustin Bradshaw was called to the home by a woman complaining that her daughter was being unruly and refusing to go to sleep. Bradshaw wrote that when he arrived at the home, he found Kiara Medlock "balled up in (sic) the floor crying and screaming."
 
After watching her mother attempt to get Kiara into the bathtub with little success, Bradshaw took the girl into the living room and threatened her with jail. That didn't settle things down. At some point, Bradshaw claims Kiara's mother told him to "taser her if I needed to."
 
Bradshaw then tried to handcuff Kiara. But he couldn't manage that either.
 
To hear Bradshaw tell it, he was now in the midst of a full-on brawl on the living-room floor with Kiara, a Grade 5 student. The 65-pounder was "verbally combative ... struck me with her legs and feet in the groin," Bradshaw wrote.
 
That's when he reached for his holster and delivered a "very very (sic) brief drive stun to her back with my taser."
 
Unsurprisingly, Kiara's struggling stopped immediately. Bradshaw then cuffed her and carried her to his squad car, since she could no longer walk.
 
The incident hit the news when Kiara's father, Anthony Medlock, took exception. Medlock does not live with Kiara's mother.
 
"I want to know how the heck in God's green earth can they get away with this ... If you can't pick the kid up and take her to your car, handcuff her, then I don't think you need to be an officer," Medlock told local Ozark 40/29 news. He said his daughter has shown signs of emotional issues, but she "doesn't deserve to be treated like a dog."
 
The local police chief stood behind Bradshaw and his decision.
 
"He had no other choice. He had to get the child under control," said Ozark police Chief Jim Noggle.
 
No disciplinary action is pending against Bradshaw. However, the Associated Press has reported that the FBI has dispatched agents to Arkansas to investigate.
Medlock said he will attempt to gain sole custody of his daughter.

This one was just to good not to pass on.

 

 

 

 

A woman applying for a job in a Florida lemon grove seemed to be unqualified for the job.

 

The foreman frowned and said, "I have to ask you this; have you had any actual experience in picking lemons?"

Bush-Bama may not be interested in looking into the legality of the Iraq War and Occupation,
but in the UK, a new official inquiry starts today.

Nothing may come of it, but it's good to be reminded - in detail - about the illegality,
immorality and stupidity of this war which as sold on both sides of the Atlantic
on a flood of deliberate lies.
The UK is launching an official inquiry into the Iraq War today.
Olier Miles, former British Ambassador to Libya, said in the 11/22/09 issue of The Independent "the key question - is Blair a war criminal."
If he is a war criminal, Blair was is certainly a well paid one.
He's an advisor to J.P. Morgan and Zurich Financial Services and makes up to 150,000 British Pounds per speech.
Total annual income: 5 million British Pounds per year plus a 7 million British Pound advance for his memoirs.

*******************************  
1) BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS PROTEST AT IRAQ INQUIRY

The first public hearings of the Iraq Inquiry begin on Tuesday
24 November and Stop the War has called a protest outside to  
demand that Tony Blair and Gordon Brown are held to account  
for war crimes which led to the deaths of hundreds of
thousands of Iraqis and 179 British troops.

Joining the protest will be representatives from Military  
Families Against the War, reminding the inquiry committee of  
the anger felt by many relatives of British soldiers killed in
Iraq. (See http://bit.ly/Gtl4q)

Sir John Chilcot, the chairman of the inquiry, insists that it
will not be a whitewash but the committee - the five members  
of which were all hand picked by Gordon Brown - looks like it
was set up with exactly that purpose. (See  
http://bit.ly/AmpEK)

Leaked secret government reports that prove Tony Blair's  
serial lying throughout 2002, as he repeatedly denied there  
were any preparations for war, will make it difficult for the
enquiry to deny that Parliament and the British public were  
mislead. (See http://bit.ly/6ze4Qd)

But the logical conclusion that Blair or anyone in his
government should be indicted on the basis of such evidence  
has already been discounted by Chilcot, despite the majority  
of bereaved military families having already told his
committee that this is the outcome they expect if war crimes  
are proven.

Please join the protest if you can. For more details:

*******************************  
2) MORE MILITARY FAMILIES GO TO DOWNING STREET

Members of military families and ex-soldiers from across the  
country have pledged to join the protest at Downing Street on
Monday 21 December. Speaking on behalf of the families, Graham
Knight and Joan Humphries - both bereaved relatives who lost  
loved ones in Afghanistan - explain why they are making this  
protest:

"We will demand to see Gordon Brown and present him with a  
petition signed by tens of thousands of people who are calling
for the troops to be brought home. We have suffered terrible  
personal loss in this war in Afghanistan and we don't want any
more families to go through the same pain."

Exeter, Plymouth, York, Dundee, Manchester, Chesterfield,  
Burnley and Leeds are just some of the places which have  
organised delegations of supporters to come down with the  
military families.

Military Families Against the War (http://www.mfaw.net/) is  
inviting the widest possible support for 21 December. Stop the
War is asking all its local groups to organise delegations and
make contact with military families in their area.

If you know of military family members who are opposed to the
war, please inform them about the protest on 21 December and  
put them in touch with the national Stop the War office: call
020 7801 2768 or email office@....

Please make sure you, your friends and contacts have signed  
the Bring the Troops Home petition, which they can do online  
(http://bit.ly/8jLhRk) or by downloading the petition to  
collect signatures (http://bit.ly/rNaTZ).

*******************************  
3) GOVERNMENT MINISTER DEBATES WITH STOP THE WAR

At last a government minister will debate publicly with Stop  
the War.

Barely a day passes without Gordon Brown or one of his
ministers desperately trying to justify a war which an ever  
increasing majority of the British public believes is futile  
and which wants all the troops to come home.

This is the background to government Minister for the Armed  
Forces, Bill Rammel, agreeing to debate with Lindsey German  
from Stop the War Coalition and Bruce Kent from CND in London
on Tuesday 24 November. Other panellists include Peter
Gilchrist, a former army Commander in Afghanistan.

DEBATE: ESCALATING WAR IN AFGHANISTAN

4) WRITE TO JOE GLENTON

Lance Corporal Joe Glenton has been imprisoned for 28 days as
the first stage of proceedings against him for five charges  
which carry a maximum sentence of ten years.

Joe's imprisonment is intended to silence his opposition to  
the war in Afghanistan, but he has already said he will still
speak out.

Joe needs the support of the anti-movement more than ever.  
Stop the War is asking all its local groups to send messages  
to Joe (see below), if they haven't already done so.

Please circulate as widely as you can Joe's contact details  
and encourage anyone you know who opposes the war to email or
write letters to him in support of his courageous stand.

With 98 British soldiers having been killed so far in 2009, it
seems tragically likely that the 100 mark for this year will  
be passed within the next week or two. Stop the War has asked
all its local groups to organise protests and vigils on the  
weekend following the hundredth death.

Policy, portfolios and the investor lawmaker

As stock ownership rises in Congress, experts warn of potential ethics concerns

 
". . .growing investments on Capitol Hill, such as those in the medical-device industry, raise questions about appearances of conflict. Even if lawmakers have done nothing wrong, ethics specialists said, such apparent conflicts are troubling because it is often impossible to know whether the lawmaker is acting in the interest of citizens or their own portfolios. On Wall Street and in federal agencies, the suggestion of a conflict is often the basis for an investigation.[This time there should be NO ESCAPE] 

The uncertainty created about lawmakers' motivation undermines confidence in Congress and the political process, the specialists say. More than half of all lawmakers own stock. In the House, the number of lawmakers trading stock jumped from 91 in 2001 to 259 today, according to academic researchers and the nonprofit Center for Responsive Politics. That includes 68 lawmakers who, as of the beginning of 2008, individually owned more than $100,000 in stock, not including mutual funds.

Some of the most popular stocks in Congress are also widely held across the country, including General Electric, Microsoft, Bank of America, Procter & Gamble and other blue-chip names. Some of these companies are also government contractors or bailout recipients. Top industries include oil and gas, electronics and health-care products. In the medical-device field alone, 108 lawmakers collectively own $6 million to $14 million worth of stock. " read the whole story:

All links are here:

The day ends in 'y,' so it's time for another AfPak bl*w job. US to give $38.7 million to 27 Afghan provinces to reduce poppy cultivation --A report published last month in The New York Times identified the brother of Afghan President Hamid Karzai as a CIA operative and a major opium dealer. He was also reported to have close ties with the Taliban. 24 Nov 2009 The US government has made a commitment to provide financial aid to Afghan provinces that have reduced or eliminated the production of opium. The United States signed a memorandum of understanding on Monday according to which it agreed to give $38.7 million to 27 Afghan provinces that eliminated or significantly reduced poppy production in the world's biggest supplier country, AFP reported. According to the MOU, the money will be handed over to Afghanistan's counter-narcotics ministry [Flush twice. It's a log way to the Afghan counter-narcotics Ministry.], which will disperse the cash to the 27 different provinces to finance development or alternative crops. [LOL. Am I the only one to observe that the US pays to *cultivate* Afghan opium poppies, while simultaneously paying to *reduce* them? Oh, but we can't get single-payer health care or the public option --too expensive.  --LRP]

Obomba poised for special Thanksgiving holiday 'bad news' dump: Afghanistan decision to come within days, White House says 26 Nov 2009 President Obama will announce within days whether he will send more troops to Afghanistan, the White House said after he met with his national security team Monday night. "After completing a rigorous final meeting, President Obama has the information he wants and needs to make his decision and he will announce that decision within days," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said. [Right, Monday night, but the PentaPost leak will likely take place on Thanksgiving.]

Top Democrat warns Afghanistan will bankrupt domestic programs, threatens war surtax if Obama sends more troops 23 Nov 2009 David Obey came to Congress in 1969, a young Democratic congressman from Wisconsin, opposed to the Vietnam War and mindful of the funding it was draining from Lyndon Johnson's Great Society programs. Thirty years later, he is chairman of the House Appropriations Committee and adamant that Afghanistan is a similar quagmire that could bankrupt President Obama's domestic agenda. "There ain't going to be no money for nothing if we pour it all into Afghanistan," House Appropriations Chairman David Obey told ABC News. "If they ask for an increased troop commitment in Afghanistan, I am going to ask them to pay for it." Comparing Afghanistan to Vietnam, Obey said that both were long-standing civil wars and that, in each case, the United States found itself with an unreliable partner on the ground.

Bomb in water truck kills 3 in Afghanistan 24 Nov 2009 A remote-controlled bomb hidden in a water truck exploded in eastern Afghanistan on Tuesday, killing three people including two children, the Interior Ministry said. Another two children and one man were wounded in the attack in the eastern province of Khost, it said. Wazir Pacha, a spokesman for the provincial police chief of Khost, said authorities were investigating what the target might have been.

4 US soldiers killed in 24 hours in Afghanistan 23 Nov 2009 The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) says that four American soldiers have been killed in the past 24 hours in Afghanistan. The military said on Monday that the soldiers were killed in separate attacks in the war-ravaged country.

Leaked documents reveal No 10 cover-up over Iraq invasion --Inquiry to hear how Blair hid true intentions for war 22 Nov 2009 Military commanders are expected to tell the inquiry into the Iraq war, which opens on Tuesday, that the invasion was ill-conceived and that preparations were sabotaged by Tony Blair's government's attempts to mislead the public. They were so shocked by the lack of preparation for the aftermath of the invasion that they believe members of the British and US governments at the time could be prosecuted for war crimes by breaching the duty outlined in the Geneva convention to safeguard civilians in a conflict, the Guardian has been told.

Does this picture show British soldiers broke Geneva Conventions? Public inquiry to be launched into allegations of abuse torture against Iraqi civilians at UK-run detention camp 24 Nov 2009 A photograph handed to The Independent claims to show Iraqi civilians captured in southern Iraq being mistreated by British soldiers in breach of international law and the Geneva Conventions. The incident is to be investigated at a public inquiry to be announced tomorrow by Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth, which will also examine evidence of one of the worst atrocities ever carried out by the British Army. It is claimed that hours after the picture was taken, the four men were transferred to a UK-run detention camp where they were badly beaten and where 20 other civilians were murdered by British soldiers. The covering of a prisoner's face and rear handcuffing on the ground is a breach of Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions which prohibits the humiliating and degrading treatment of detainees.

U.S. soldier killed in Iraq 23 Nov 2009 An American soldier was killed in action south of Baghdad, the U.S. military said Monday. A Multi-National Division South (MND-S) soldier was killed on Sunday, a military statement said without providing further details.

Iraq national vote unlikely in January: official 24 Nov 2009 Iraq will be unable to hold a national 'election' in January as planned, a poll official said on Tuesday, heaping more uncertainty on a vote meant to cement democracy [?] and pave the way for a partial U.S. troop withdrawal. The general election was supposed to be held between January 18-23. "In all cases the possibility of holding the vote in January is over," said Faraj al-Haidari, head of the electoral commission.

KBR to bid for part of $3B Air Force contract 23 Nov 2009 Defense contractor [terrorists] KBR said Monday the U.S. Air Force has asked it to bid for future task orders under the Worldwide Environmental Restoration and Construction program. KBR is one of 23 companies that will compete for related contracts. The total value of the contract to be dispersed among participating contractors is $3 billion.

British man fighting extradition in KBR bribe case 20 Nov 2009 A British lawyer accused in the United States of helping a former Halliburton Co. subsidiary bribe Nigerian officials for construction projects has begun his fight against extradition in a London court. Federal prosecutors in Houston, Texas, say Jeffrey Tesler helped steer bribe money from Kellogg, Brown & Root LLC to officials of the Nigerian government to win more than $6 billion in contracts.

Day 2 of drill: Iran warns Israel against stupid mistake 23 Nov 2009 Tehran begins the second day of a sweeping aerial drill with a strong warning to Tel Aviv: Israeli warplanes 'will come tumbling down' if they step out of line. Israel routinely threatens to bomb Iran's nuclear sites, arguing that the country's enrichment activities are an existential threat to Tel Aviv, which ironically is reported to have an arsenal of 200 nuclear warheads at its disposal. The threats were repeated only last week when Gabi Ashkenazi, the chief-of-staff of Israel's armed forces, dropped heavy hints at an upcoming attack on Iran.

IDF planes attack Gaza arms depot and smuggling tunnels 24 Nov 2009 The Israel Air Force carried out three airstrikes in the Gaza Strip late Monday, targeting a weapons-manufacturing facility and weapons smuggling tunnels. The IDF said that the aerial assaults came in response to two rockets Palestinian militants fired at southern Israel from Gaza a day earlier. No one was injured by the rocket fire.

Gaza rocket hits Israel, despite Hamas moratorium on Qassams 23 Nov 2009 Militants in the Gaza Strip fired a Qassam rocket into southern Israel on Monday, despite a recent declaration by Hamas that militant groups in the coastal territory had reached an agreement to halt cross-border rocket fire. The rocket exploded close to a community in the Sha'ar Hanegev region, causing neither causalities nor property damage. On Saturday evening, Hamas' interior minister said the militant groups in Gaza had agreed to cease firing rockets into Israel so as to prevent retaliatory attacks.

IDF strip-searches troops at ceremony, fearing pro-settler protest 24 Nov 2009 Soldiers in the ultra-Orthodox battalion of the Nahal infantry brigade claim that they were strip-searched on Monday upon entrance to a battalion ceremony. The commanders searched the soldiers fearing they would protest settlement evacuations as soldiers from the Kfir Brigade did recently. The incident took place during a ceremony on Jerusalem's Mount Scopus, attended by the Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai.

Secret files show UK courts were misled over 9/11 suspect --The Guardian has obtained classified documents produced by the FBI and anti-terrorist officials in the UK after the 9/11 attacks which shed new light on how the courts were misled. 22 Nov 2009 British prosecutors failed to disclose crucial evidence to the courts in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks in a case that resulted in an innocent pilot being jailed for five months, previously unseen documents reveal. Lotfi Raissi, an Algerian living in the UK, was the first person in the world to be arrested after the 2001 attacks in New York and Washington DC. Accused of being the "lead" instructor of the 9/11 hijackers, Raissi was held in Belmarsh high security prison awaiting extradition to the United States.

Atty: Fort Hood suspect may seek insanity defense 24 Nov 2009 An attorney for an Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people during an attack at Fort Hood says his client will likely plead not guilty and may pursue an insanity defense at his military trial. John Galligan, the Fort Hood-area civilian attorney for Maj. Nidal Hasan, told The Associated Press by phone Monday that the court must consider his client's mental status because the allegations against Hasan contradict his lifestyle and military career.

Death toll rises to 39 for Philippines killings 24 Nov 2009 At least 39 people are now known to have died in the southern Philippines on Monday, after more bodies were discovered in a shallow grave. Philippine President Gloria Arroyo has declared a state of emergency in two provinces on the island of Mindanao to allow police to search for the [Arroyo-hired] gunmen. The victims were killed as they were travelling to file nomination papers for elections next May.

12 journalists killed in Philippines massacre --Early reports said the gunmen were led by a supporter of the country's president [sic], Gloria Arroyo. 24 Nov 2009 Twelve journalists were among 24 people murdered yesterday in the Philippines in what is thought to be the greatest loss of life by news media in a single day. Several of the victims were beheaded in the massacre carried out by a huge force of [rightwing] gunmen.

'Terrorist network in S Waziristan dismantled' 24 Nov 2009 The Pakistani army claims it has succeeded in dismantling the terrorist network in South Waziristan. An army statement said on Monday that its soldiers killed 20 militants while many others were injured in Pakistan's South Waziristan tribal area and in the neighboring Hangu and Orakzai agencies over the previous 24 hours.

8 charged with running terror ring 24 Nov 2009 Federal authorities unsealed terrorism-related charges against eight men Monday, accusing them of recruiting at least 20 young Somali Americans from Minnesota to join an extremist Islamist insurgency in Somalia. The newly named suspects make up one of the largest alleged terrorist networks in the United States since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, analysts said.

'Police targeting people for their DNA' --Watchdog says quest for data undermines presumption of innocence 24 Nov 2009 Police forces have been arresting people simply to add them to the controversial DNA database as a result of lax rules that have developed with almost no public scrutiny, the Government's independent DNA watchdog warns today. The Human Genetics Commission (HGC) also says there is little evidence that the national DNA database, the largest of its kind in the world, is of any use in solving crimes. In its two-year report examining the database, published today, it concludes that allowing police to add anyone arrested to the DNA database damages the assumption of innocence.

New US vaccine production techniques: Genetically modified insect cells, E. coli, caterpillar ovaries 24 Nov 2009 Spurred by $487 million in federal funding, a sprawling new vaccine factory is opening in North Carolina Tuesday that will produce shots using dog cells instead of chicken eggs. A Connecticut biotech company has also applied to sell a vaccine employing a radically different approach involving a genetically engineered virus infecting insect cells... Baxter International won approval last month to sell an H1N1 vaccine in Europe that uses a decades-old line of African green monkey kidney cells, and it is working on a vaccine for the United States. Protein Sciences of Meriden, Conn., has applied to the FDA for approval to sell a vaccine made by genetically engineering flu genes into a worm virus, which then infects cells from caterpillar ovaries to produce the necessary proteins to make vaccine. VaxInnate of Cranbury, N.J., for example, produced an experimental H1N1 vaccine using genetically engineered E.coli bacteria, and Vical of San Diego just won a $1.25 million contract from the Navy to develop an H1N1 vaccine that involves injecting DNA sequences from the virus directly into people.

1918 RBD D225G in Lung Cases in Ukraine and Norway (Recombinomics) 21 Nov 2009 For the two 1918 HA variants, the South Carolina (SC) HA (with Asp190, Asp225) bound exclusively alpha2-6 receptors, while the New York (NY) variant, which differed only by one residue (Gly225), had mixed alpha2-6/alpha2-3 specificity, especially for sulfated oligosaccharides. The above description is from a paper analyzing receptor binding domain differences in sequences from the 1918 pandemic. The New York variant had D225G, the same change found in lung tissues from fatal swine H1N1 sequences in Brazil, Ukraine, and Norway. The above result clearly demonstrated a change in receptor specificity for D225G, which was present in A/New York/1/1918 and A/London/1/1919, demonstrating the same change I 1918 that has been described in 2009.

NSA helped with Windows 7 development 18 Nov 2009 The National Security Agency (NSA) worked with Microsoft on the development of Windows 7, an agency official acknowledged yesterday during testimony before Congress. "Working in partnership with Microsoft and elements of the Department of Defense, NSA leveraged our unique expertise and operational knowledge of system threats and vulnerabilities to enhance Microsoft's operating system security guide without constraining the user to perform their everyday tasks, whether those tasks are being performed in the public or private sector," Richard Schaeffer, the NSA's information assurance director, told the Senate's Subcommittee on Terrorism and Homeland Security yesterday as part of a prepared statement.

Rove: Shift of Blame to Dems Almost Complete --'This is surely some of my best work since I was able to convince millions of Americans that George W. Bush should be in the White House rather than the nut house.' By R J Shulman 24 Nov 2009 Karl Rove announced today on Fox News that the Republican strategy to shift the blame for all of America's woes from anything the Republicans may have caused to Obama and the Democrats is a complete success. Rove has been the mastermind of a new movement called the Shift of Blamers -- or SOBs -- who have replaced birthers, deathers, Tenthers, and teabaggers as the most successful anti-Obama group thus far. The SOBs are made up of prominent Republicans, Fox News and the vast majority of talk radio. (Satire)

Sanford Faces 37 Charges by State Ethics Board 24 Nov 2009 Gov. Mark Sanford of South Carolina will face formal ethics charges on 37 counts of using his office for personal financial gain, according to a list of allegations issued by the state ethics commission on Monday.

Over 100 icebergs drifting to N.Zealand: official 23 Nov 2009 More than 100, and possibly hundreds, of Antarctic icebergs are floating towards New Zealand in a rare event which has prompted a shipping warning, officials said on Monday. An Australian Antarctic Division glaciologist said the ice chunks, spotted by satellite photography, had passed the Auckland Islands and were heading towards the main South Island, about 450 kilometres (280 miles) northeast.

Previous lead stories: Hostility between British and American military leaders revealed --The deep hostility of Britain’s senior military commanders in Iraq towards their American allies has been revealed in classified Government documents leaked to the Daily Telegraph. 22 Nov 2009 In the papers, the British chief of staff in Iraq, Colonel J.K.Tanner, described his US military counterparts as "a group of Martians" [Good one! Guess who was the Top Martian --aka Commander in Thief --in 2003?] for whom "dialogue is alien," saying: "Despite our so-called 'special relationship,' I reckon we were treated no differently to the Portuguese." Col Tanner’s boss, the top British commander in the country, Major General Andrew Stewart, told how he spent "a significant amount of my time" "evading" and "refusing" orders from his US superiors.

US 'helps build anti-Taliban militias' in Afghanistan 22 Nov 2009 The United States has begun helping a number of anti-Taliban militias [death squads] in several parts of Afghanistan in hopes for a large-scale tribal rebellion against the radical Islamic movement, The New York Times reported late Saturday. The newspaper said US and Afghan officials were planning to spur the growth of similar armed groups across the Taliban heartland in the southern and eastern parts of the country. The officials say they are hoping the plan, called the Community Defense Initiative, will bring together thousands of gunmen to protect their neighborhoods from Taliban 'insurgents,' the report said. ['Community Defense Initiative.' Gee, it even *sounds* like something straight out of Nazi Germany or Joe Lieberman's Homeland Security Committee. --LRP]

Army faces inquiry over 'Battle of Danny Boy' torture claims --Evidence indicating torture and mutilation allegedly includes close-range bullet wounds, the removal of eyes and stab wounds, human rights lawyers have claimed. 21 Nov 2009 Claims that British soldiers tortured and murdered up to 20 prisoners after a battle with Iraqi 'insurgents' are to be scrutinised at a public inquiry. Concern that the Army covered up the most serious accusation of war crimes that it has faced has prompted Bob Ainsworth, the Defence Secretary, to order the independent inquiry. Mr Ainsworth is due to tell MPs next week that the inquiry will centre on an incident known as the Battle of Danny Boy. It took place in May 2004 and involved soldiers from the Argyll and Southern Highlanders and the Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment... Iraqi families claim that some of those killed had been captured alive before being tortured and murdered by troops at Camp Abu Naji, a British base. Evidence indicating torture and mutilation allegedly includes close-range bullet wounds, the removal of eyes and stab wounds, human rights lawyers have claimed.

Subject: COUNTERINSURGENCY'S FUTURE IS IN AMERICA
 
For months we've heard about General McChrystal's "counter-insurgency" strategy in Afghanistan, involving tens of thousands more troops. We've heard much less about the US government's "counter-insurgency" strategy for America. But it's America -- not Afghanistan -- where the strategy is already in place, and where the real action may take place.

According to one report, which documents the "unraveling" of US society, "the demand for guns and ammunition has hit a record high and the gun industry cannot produce enough bullets to keep up with orders. American's are arming themselves to the teeth! In the past year, 100 new armed militia groups have been formed, as militia members have doubled in numbers. Federal authorities are gravely concerned about the "uptick in militia activities." One federal authority recently said, "All it's lacking is a spark. I think it's only a matter of time before you see threats and violence."

The Official Documents

Contingency plans for martial law were signed by President Bush just before the election in November 2008. These plans, written in bureaucratic detail, have appeared on the Internet in what seems to be a leak of classified government documents. (US Domestic Control Measures.pdf by Bradley Moscrip)

Giving various reasons that would justify martial law (for example, "the refusal of the population to pay or unusual difficulty to collect rent, taxes, or loan payments"), the plans call for the suspension of the Constitution; the permanent confiscation of all firearms (while telling the gun owners that the confiscation is temporary); and the rounding up of large numbers of the "indigenous population" in detention camps.

Noting that there are presently 600 detention camps (soon to be expanded to 1500, generally in rural uninhabited areas), one of the documents provides the location of 94 of these detention sites in 28 states.

True or False?

How reliable is this information? Are these documents real? Popular conservative gate-keepers like Glenn Beck have pooh-poohed stories about the construction of detention sites across the country.

There's no way to be certain, but to me they ring true. And skeptics who have personally researched the matter say there is no doubt that these detention camps exist.  The real question is why.

Some say it's simply that the government needs to be prepared to maintain civil order in case of enemy attack or civil emergency. But this doesn't account for the scope and secrecy of the present plans. The documents posted on the Internet state that the real reason is the prospect of domestic insurrection.

In principle there's nothing new here. The state's first priority has always been to control its own population, especially when it is carrying out unpopular policies. In the 1860s the Lincoln administration not only  crushed the southern states that tried to secede, it also crushed all dissent (and there was a lot of it) in the northern states.

Secretary of War Stanton ordered federal law officers to imprison anyone engaged by act, speech, or writing, in discouraging volunteer enlistments in the army. Habeas corpus was suspended; newspaper publishers, judges, and legislators who dissented from the war policy were jailed; and when a draft was instituted, hundreds of protesters were shot and killed.

The potential for these kinds of draconian actions is more real today than any time since the 1860s. Hardly a week goes by that the government is not announcing some new peril. At one time it's a pandemic (currently swine flu);  at another time it's a terrorist attack; at yet another time it's a financial collapse (recall that a Congressman revealed a year ago that Congress was threatened with the imposition of martial law if they should fail to approve the emergency bank bailout).

Current federal policies seem almost guaranteed to create some such crisis. The federal government is treating our current economic problems by creating monumental new levels of debt. This is like an alcoholic trying to cure himself by drinking even more whiskey. Once the temporary artificial stimulus has passed, the result will be an even greater collapse.

Conclusion

There is no shortage of scenarios that would lead to martial law, and many would be created by the policies of the government itself. Whatever the details, we may be confident that it has drawn up plans to suspend the Constitution "temporarily" and to impose direct military control of the civilian population. In both Waco and Katrina, US military forces were employed, though not publicized. More recently, the Pentagon has established the Northern Command, designed to carry out military operations within the US.

Yes, we may launch a "counter-insurgency strategy" in Afghanistan, at least  for a while. But America's power is waning overseas. We're overextended militarily and financially. We're looking for a way to scale back if not withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan. (The new buzzword is "endgame.") Most significantly, Obama seems to be seeking to reduce American power and autonomy.

So the future for counter-insurgency may be here at home. The US government may be planning for a reduced role in the world, but it is not planning for a reduced role at home. On the contrary, it plans to take control of all aspects of American society, as well as integrate America into a global system. And it recognizes that these plans may lead to resistance. So it is ready with a counter-insurgency strategy, and willing and able to implement it. We would be well advised not to play into its hands.

What if China did to the US what the US has done to Iran? An analogy to help embrace facts

   We hold these Truths as self-evident...
President Obama is using the same aggressive rhetoric we saw prior to invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, with media repeating the quickly-verifiable lie that Iran's President threatened to "wipe Israel off the map." Previously, Senator Lieberman, Secretary of State Clinton, and former UN Ambassador John Bolton resumed rhetoric of a United States attack upon Iran. There are two general justifications they speak of to justify war: Iran's "nuclear program" and their threat to Israel.

Both claims are false (again, verify here and here), which follows a history of US lies regarding wars and a history of violent US intervention to control Iran's government.

Would it help to understand the facts to imagine if the US was in Iran’s position? Let’s find out with the following scenario of the current US role being played by China, and Iran being played by the US. It’s all based on the conservative history (non-contested as far as I know) of what the US has done to Iran and documented here. This is written from an American perspective.

In 1953, the CIA (China Intelligence Agency) overthrew the Eisenhower administration, installing a vicious dictator, Mr. Monarchy, who would lord over us until we deposed him in 1979. Ike had been elected in our democracy, and had the brass to demand renegotiation of oil contracts to increase the American share of the profit above 15%. The Chinese had helped develop our Texas oil fields from their occupation during the last world war. Ike’s threat of nationalizing our oil fields drove China over the edge. Their CIA staged Operation Ajax, put Ike in prison until 1956, and then kept him under house arrest until his death. 

The puppet-Chinese Monarch was welcome in Beijing, with the Chinese people not perceiving the irony and hypocrisy of their Cold War fighting for “freedom and democracy” while supporting a dictator who destroyed democracy in our country. CIA helped train Monarchy’s own secret service, who imprisoned and executed hundreds of thousands of Americans who defied Monarchy in any way. When Monarchy developed cancer and fled the US in 1979, he received medical treatment in China. The new US government demanded extradition to the US for mass murder against his own citizens. China refused.

In protest, Americans stormed the Chinese embassy in Washington DC, taking 53 hostages. China demanded their immediate release; but with refusal to extradite Monarchy to stand trial, the US refused. The US de facto leader, minister Billy Bible (who Monarchy exiled in 1964) said China had no right to complain, as they held our entire nation hostage since 1953. Americans rallied behind Bible, and the motto he developed while in exile: “We’ll be back. This regime will be terminated.”

China imposed economic sanctions on the US and then supported their puppet-dictator in Mexico, Senor Saddam, to invade the US in 1980. Behind-the-scenes negotiations led to the hostages’ release in January, 1981, but China escalated their support of Mexico in their invasion. They didn’t lift a finger for international law to stop Mexico’s War of Aggression against us. Over a million Americans were killed in the war until 1988.

Along with Chinese attacks destroying US oil platforms and installations in the Gulf of Mexico in 1988, China also shot down and American commercial airliner 655, flying in American airspace, killing all 293 on board. China’s vice-president said he would never apologize for China, no matter what the facts were. The invasion and war ended at the end of 1988.

In 1990, China invaded Mexico but kept their dictator in power. China imposed harsh sanctions on Mexico, resulting in about a million civilian deaths, mostly children. Their secretary of state said the deaths of children were “regrettable but worth the cost.” They invaded again in 2003 for “regime change” after Mexico began accepting other currencies than China’s for oil export. This followed China’s 2002 invasion of Canada and occupation.

Americans realized we were surrounded by China and feared the worst, as history had demonstrated. We were right.

Beginning in 2003, China escalated rhetoric that the US, a non-nuclear power, was developing nuclear weapons in secret locations and that we were a government run by religious zealots (perhaps true, yes). The US began selling Texas oil exports for currency other than China’s in fear of devaluation of the Yuan from their government’s extensive borrowing and increased debt. In 2005 the US president delivers a speech in defense of Palestinian rights. He used the exact same phrase as our revolutionary hero, Billy Bible: “Palestine will be back. The Israeli regime will be terminated.”

China snapped. Their political leaders and press claimed that the US is threatening to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Israel demanded the US be tried for crimes against humanity, said we were threatening another Holocaust (despite our large Jewish population), and requested our expulsion from the UN. China and Israel began to participate in war games. They openly discuss war with the US, including the use of nuclear weapons. This is all in blatant violation of the UN Charter to keep peaceful relations.

A second line of China-Israeli propaganda is over US pursuit of nuclear energy. China was in contract with the US and fully supported US nuclear energy when their puppet Monarchy was in charge, but after the 1979 revolution they reneged on all contracts, never refunding billions we paid for equipment. Both China and Israel state a military strike against the US is “on the table.”

The US tries to distinguish our legal nuclear energy development that allows full inspections from IAEA from illegal nuclear weapons.

It does no good.

China and their controlled media relentlessly use the ambiguous phrasing of the US “nuclear program,” and broadcast fear of what might happen if we develop a nuclear weapon. China ignores and won’t discuss the terms of the Non-Proliferation Treaty where the US is allowed to develop nuclear energy, choosing to conflate nuclear energy and nuclear weapons in the minds of their citizens. Chinese news programs show the world a new 30,000 pound bomb to penetrate US underground targets.

While “officially” China says Christianity is a respectable religion, their media stoke fears that Christian extremists are in charge of the US. Many Chinese view Christians with fear, thinking we want to convert the world because we think any other religion leads to hell. Many of their media pundits explain that Chinese troops cannot leave Mexico and Canada because Christian extremists will take over and it’ll be a safe-haven for Christian terrorists committed to get to China and kill their civilians in terrorist attacks.

One of China’s top reporters with a history of documenting Chinese war crimes and broke the torture scandal against Mexican detainees reports China is actively engaged with their CIA to overthrow our government again.

China also insists their “Surge” in Mexico has decreased Mexican terrorism, but they accuse Americans and the US government of covertly aiding Mexican and Palesinian “terrorists.” They spin their invasion that Mexico and the world is better off, and China will increase troop presence in Canada during 2009 to defeat the “Maple Leaf” terrorist cells, who are a threat to Chinese national security. They increasingly use drone attacks against Canada and across the sea-border into northern Scotland, an apparently ungovernable part of the UK, a nuclear power.

The Chinese public is increasing aware of the facts, using the Internet and alternative media for communication. The Chinese government threatens to close the Internet for “national security” needs, should they arise.

As of November, 2009, the US has not yet been attacked by China and/or Israel, but the drums of war continue to beat against us, accompanied by China’s slick “mainstream media.” We hope and pray that the Chinese public and the world will understand that Americans don’t want war with anyone. We want cooperation, dignity, justice under law, and freedom.

After a million civilian deaths from China’s invasion of Mexico we know our fate will be similar if they attack us.

Colombian military 'on maximum alert'

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/breaking-news/colombian-military-on-maximum-alert/story-e6frf7k6-1225801581503

COLOMBIA warned overnight that its forces were on "maximum alert'' and were prepared to defend against any attack, amid rising tensions with neighbouring Venezuela.

Webmaster's Commentary:
This situation could move from a war of words to a war of bullets in a heartbeat.

And considering what the anti-Chavez attitude in Washington, (coupled with the latest agreement between Columbia and this US regarding the presence of US troops in Columbia), perhaps this may well be a deliberate set-up to get the hostilities started.



US builds up its bases in oil-rich South America

 

http://uruknet.com/index.php?p=m60345&hd=&size=1&l=e


The United States is massively building up its potential for nuclear and non-nuclear strikes in Latin America and the Caribbean by acquiring unprecedented freedom of action in seven new military, naval and air bases in Colombia. The development – and the reaction of Latin American leaders to it – is further exacerbating America's already fractured relationship with much of the continent.

Should Obama Fire Gen. McChrystal?

By Ray McGovern

It is not too late for President Barack Obama to follow the example of Harry Truman, who fired Gen. Douglas McArthur in 1951 for insubordination. Then, as now, the stakes were high. Then it was Korea; now it is Afghanistan. No more slaps on the wrist for Gen. Stanley McChrystal. In my view, Commander-in-Chief Obama should fire him for cause.

By Rannie Amiri

The Saudi attack on northern Yemen is the epitome of military adventurism and opportunism. It allows them to use - for the first time - advanced weapons purchased from the United States against an ill-equipped band of rebels in the midst of a destitute, malnourished, and displaced population.

As the Light onto the Nations
 
 By Gilad Atzmon
 
'Israel is the light onto the nations' says the Torah. Indeed it is, and not just because the Torah says so. Israel is ahead of everyone else in many fronts. Take for instance, terrorizing civilian populations and practicing some of the most devastating murderous tactics upon elders, women and young.

As US Debt Tops $12 Trillion, Obama Calls for Austerity

By Bill Van Auken

That the US debt is unsustainable is beyond question. According to the Treasury Department, Washington was compelled to pay $383 billion over the course of the last fiscal year just in interest on the public debt. Given that total revenues from individual federal income taxes amount to $904 billion, 40 cents out of every dollar paid by US taxpayers is going to service the debt.

Drug Makers Raise Prices in Face of Health Care Reform

By DUFF WILSON

Even as drug makers promise to support Washington's health care overhaul by shaving $8 billion a year off the nation's drug costs after the legislation takes effect, the industry has been raising its prices at the fastest rate in years. In the last year, the industry has raised the wholesale prices of brand-name prescription drugs by about 9 percent, according to industry analysts. That will add more than $10 billion to the nation's drug bill, which is on track to exceed $300 billion this year.

Economic Meltdown -- A Call for Systemic Change

By John Perkins

We have been hoodwinked into believing that a mutant form of capitalism espoused by Milton Friedman and promoted by President Reagan and every president since - one that has resulted in a world where less than 5% of us (in the United States) consume more than 25% of the resources and nearly half the rest live in poverty - is acceptable.

Mark Twain said it best:

"A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes."

Lie of the century?
It wasn't "Katrina'
Turning a lie around after it's gone halfway around the world is not easy - but it can be done.
Here's an example of a small, grass roots group that's been relentless in getting the truth out about a so called "natural" catastrophe.
After four years, their effort is finally getting support from the courts.
The century is still young and the Bush-Bama administration were such masters of lying its hard to pick one...Iraq...9/11...the "healthy: economy...swine flu
But one of the most amazing - and vicious - lies of all time has to be that Hurricane Katrina destroyed the city of New Orleans.
Amazing because it flies in the face of all evidence and eye witness accounts.
Vicious because it removes the liability (and thus the potential of compensation) from the guilty party, the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Changing public opinion after a well-crafted and heavily promote lie has made its way around the world is on of the hardest things on earth to do, but if you stick with it long enough, you can do it.
Last week, as the result of a relentless, grass roots campaign, a judge finally agreed: It wasn't Katrina that devastated New Orleans, it was the systematic failure of the multi-billion dollar tax payer federal levee system.

THANKS very much Bill for this brief but very pregnant set of observations. This does indeed help a great deal, if  and when real people want to look further for what has been driving the coopted sections of our world. This is obviously NOT for everyone, but it does explain a bit more about that "Collider" that supposedly went on-line just a few days ago. . .

Red Alert: The Second Wave of The Financial Tsunami
The Wave Is gathering force & could hit between the first & second quarter of 2010



Global Research, November 22, 2009

Many of my friends who have been receiving my e-mail alerts over the last two years have lamented that in recent weeks I have not commented on the state of the global economy. I appreciate their anxiety but they forget that I am not a stock market analyst who is paid to write articles to lure investors back into the market. My website is free and I do not sell a financial newsletter so there is no need for me to churn out daily forecasts or analysis.
However, when the data is compelling and supports an inevitable trend, it is time for another review. This Red Alert is to enable visitors to my website to take appropriate actions to safeguard their wealth and welfare of their families in the coming months.
Since the last quarter of 2008, unrelenting currency warfare has been waged by the key global economies and while this competition thus far has been non-antagonistic, it will soon be antagonistic because the inherent differences are irreconcilable. The consequences to the global economy will be devastating and for the ordinary people, massive unemployment and social unrest are assured.
The policy-makers of these countries faced with the total collapse of the international financial architecture have concluded that the solution, the only solution is quantitative easing (i.e. massive injection of liquidity) to salvage the “too big to fail†banks and reflate their depressed economies. This is best reflected in Bernanke's candid remark that, “the US government has a technology, called the printing press (or today, its electronic equivalent), that allows it to produce as many US dollars as it wishes at essentially no costâ€.
This is the crux of the problem!
The Irreconcilable Differences
Some two decades ago, it was decided by the global financial elites that the framework for the global economy shall consist of:
1) A global derivative-based financial system, controlled by the US Federal Reserve Bank and its associate global banks in the developed countries.
2) The re-location from the West to the East in the production of goods, principally to China and India to “feed†the developed economies.
The entire system was built on a simple principle, that of a FED-controlled global reserve currency which will be the engine for growth for the global economy. It is essentially an imperialist economic principle.
Once we grasp this fundamental truth, Bernanke's boast that the “US can produce as many US dollars as it wishes at no cost†takes on a different dimension.
I have talked to so many economists and when asked what is the crux of the present financial problem, they all respond in unison, “it is the global imbalances... the West consumes too much while the East saves too much and consumes not enoughâ€. This is exemplified by the huge US trade deficits on the one part and China's massive surpluses on the other.
Incredible wisdom and almost everyone echoes this mantra. The recent concluded APEC Summit was no different. This mantra was repeated as well as the call for freer trade between trading nations.
This is a grand hoax. All the current leaders on the world's stage are corrupted to the rotten core and as such have no interest to call a spade a spade and expose the inherent contradictions within the existing financial system.
The call for a multi-polar world is meaningless when the entire global financial system is based on the unipolar US dollar reserve currency. This is the inherent contradiction within the present system and the problems associated with it cannot be resolved by another global reserve currency based on the IMF's Special Drawing Rights as advocated by some countries. It was stillborn, the very moment it was conceived!
The leaders of China, Japan and the oil producing countries of the Middle East are all cursing and pissing about the current situation, but they don't have the courage of their convictions to spell it out to their countrymen that they have been conned by the financial spin masters from the Fed acting on the instructions from Goldman Sachs.
Tell me which leader would dare admit that they have exchanged the nation's wealth for toilet papers?
The toilet paper currency pantomime continues.
We have now reached a stalemate in the current currency war, not unlike the situation of the Cold War between the NATO pact countries and the Warsaw pact countries. Both sides were deterred by the MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) doctrine of nuclear wars. The costs to both sides were horrendous and it was only when the Soviet Union could not continue with the pace and cost of maintaining a nuclear deterrent and was forced into bankruptcy that the balance tilted in favour of the NATO alliance.
But it was a pyrrhic victory for the US and it allies. What kept the ability of the US to maintain its military might and outspend the Soviet Union was the right to print toilet paper currency and the acceptance of the US dollar by her allies as the world's reserve currency.
But why did the countries allied to the US during the Cold War accepted the status quo?
Simple! They were all conned into believing that without the protection of Big Brother and its military outreach, they would be swallowed up by the communist menace. They agreed to march to the tune of the US Pied-Piper.
The next big question – why did the so-called “liberated†former communist allies of the Soviet bloc jump on the bandwagon?
Simple! They all believed in the illusion that was fostered by the global banks, led by Goldman Sachs that trading and selling their goods and services for the toilet paper US reserve currency would ensure untold wealth and prosperity.
But the biggest game in town was the Asia gambit. Japan, after a decade of recession following the burst of her property bubble did not have the means and the capacity to bring the game to the next level as envisaged by the financial architects in Goldman Sachs.
And China was the biggest beneficiary. The senior management of Goldman Sachs brokered a secret pact with China's leaders that in exchange for orchestrating the most massive injection of US dollar capital and wholesale re-location of manufacturing capacity in the history of the global economy, China would recycle their hard-earned US toilet paper reserve currency wealth into US treasuries and other US debt instruments.
This was the necessary condition precedent for the global financial casino to rise to the next level of play.
Why?
The New Game
The financial architects at Goldman Sachs had a master plan – to dominate the global financial system. The means to achieve this financial power was the Shadow Banking System, the lynchpin being the derivative market and the securitization of assets, real and synthetic. The stakes would be huge, in the hundreds of US$ trillions and the way to transform the market was through massive leverage at all levels of the financial game.
But there was an inherent weakness in the overall scheme – the threat of inflation, more precisely hyperinflation. Such huge amounts of liquidity in the system would invariably trigger the depreciation of the reserve currency and the confidence in the system.
Hence the need for a system to keep in check price inflation and the illusion that the purchasing power of the toilet paper reserve currency could be maintained.
This is where China came in. Once China became the world's factory, the problem would be resolved. When a suit which previously cost US$600 could be had for less than US$100, and a pair of shoes for less than US$5, the scam masterminds concluded that there would be no foreseeable threat to the largest casino operation in history.
China agreed to the exchange as it has over a billion mouths to feed and jobs for hundreds of millions needed to be secured, without which the system could not be maintained. But China was pragmatic enough to have two “economic systems†– a Yuan based domestic economy and a US$ based export economy, in the hope that the profits and benefits of the export economy would enable China to transform and establish a viable and dynamic domestic market which in time would replace the export dependent economy. It was a deal made with the devil, but there were no viable alternative options at the material time, more so after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The Next Level of the Game
The next level of the game was reached when the toilet paper reserve currency literally went virtual – through the simple operation of a click of the mouse in the computers of the global banks.
The big boys at Goldman Sachs and other global banks were more than content to leave Las Vegas for the mafia and their miserable billions in turnover. The profits were considered dimes when compared to the hundreds of trillions generated by the virtual casino. It was a financial conquest beyond their wildest dreams. They even called themselves, “Master of the Universeâ€. Creating massive debts was the new game, and the big boys could even leverage more than 40 times capital! Asset values soared with so much liquidity chasing so few good assets.
However, the financial wizards failed to appreciate and or underestimate the amount of financial products that were needed to keep the game in play. They resorted to financial engineering – the securitization of assets. And when real assets were insufficient for securitization, synthetic assets were created. Soon enough, toxic waste was even considered as legitimate instruments for the game so long as it could be unloaded to greedy suckers with no recourse to the originators of these so-called investments.
For a time, it looked as if the financial wizards have solved the problem of how to feed the global casino monster.
Unfortunately, the music stopped and the bubble burst! And as they say the rest is history.
The Goldman Sachs Remedy
When losses are in the US$ trillions and whatever assets / capital remaining are in the US$ billions, we have a huge problem – a financial black-hole.
The preferred remedy by the financial masterminds at Goldman Sachs was to create another hoax – that if the big global banks were to fail triggering a systemic collapse, there would be Armageddon. These “too big to fail†banks must be injected with massive amount of virtual monies to recapitalize and get rid of the toxic assets on their balance sheet. The major central banks in the developed countries in cahoots with Goldman Sachs sang the same tune. All sorts of schemes were conjured to legitimize this bailout.
In essence, what transpired was the mere transfer of monies from the left pocket to the right pocket, with the twist that the banks were in fact helping the Government to overcome the financial crisis.
The Fed and key central banks agreed to lend “virtual monies†to the “too big to fail†global banks at zero or near zero interest rate and these banks in turn would “deposit†these monies with the Fed and other central banks at agreed interest rates. These transactions are all mere book entries. Other “loans†from the Fed and central banks (again at zero or near zero interest rates) are used to purchase government debts, these debts being the stimulus monies needed to revive the real economy and create jobs for the growing unemployed. So in essence, these banks are given “free money†to lend to the government at prior agreed interest rates with no risks at all. It is a hoax!
These “monies†are not even the dollar bills, but mere book entries created out of thin air.
So when the Fed injects US$ trillions into the banking system, it merely credits the amount in the accounts of the “too big to fail†banks at the Fed.
When the system is applied to international trade, the same modus operandi is used to pay for the goods imported from China, Japan etc.
For the rest of world, when buying goods denominated in US$, these countries must produce goods and services, sell them for dollars in order to purchase goods needed in their country. Simply put, they have to earn an income to purchase whatever goods and services needed. In contrast, all that the US needs to do is to create monies out of thin air and use them to pay for their imports!
The US can get away with this scam because it has the military muscle to compel and enforce this hoax. As stated earlier, this status quo was accepted especially during the Cold War and with some reluctance post the collapse of the Soviet Union, but with a proviso – that the US agrees to be the consumer of last resort. This arrangement provided some comfort because countries which have sold their goods to the US, can now use the dollars to buy goods from other countries as more than 80 per cent of world trade is denominated in dollars especially crude oil, the lifeline of the global economy.
But with the US in full bankruptcy and its citizens (the largest consumers in the world) being unable to borrow further monies to buy fancy goods from China, Japan and the rest of the world, the demand for dollar has evaporated. The dollar status as a reserve currency and its usefulness is being questioned more vocally.
The End Game
The present fallout can be summarized in simple terms:
Should a bankrupt country (the US) be allowed to use money created out of thin air to pay for goods produced with the sweat and tears of hardworking citizens of exporting countries? Adding insult to injury, the same dollars are now purchasing a lot less than before. So what is the use of being paid in a currency that is losing rapidly its value?
On the other hand, the US is telling the whole world, especially the Chinese that if they are not happy with the status quo, there is nothing to stop them from selling to the other countries and accepting their currencies. But if they want to sell to the mighty USA, they must accept US toilet paper reserve currency and its right to create monies out of thin air!
This is the ultimate poker game and whosoever blinks first loses and will suffer irreparable financial consequences. But who has the winning hand?
The US does not have the winning hand. Neither has China the winning hand.
This state of affairs cannot continue for long, for whatever cards the US or China may be contemplating to throw at the table to gain strategic advantage, any short term gains will be pyrrhic, for it will not be able to address the underlying antagonistic contradictions.
When the survival of the system is dependent on the availability of credit (i.e. accumulating more debts) it is only a matter of time before both the debtor and creditor come to the inevitable conclusion that the debt will never be paid. And unless the creditor is willing to write off the debt, resorting to drastic means to collect the outstanding debt is inevitable.
It would be naïve to think that the US would quietly allow itself to be foreclosed! When we reach that stage, war will be inevitable. It will be the US-UK-Israel Axis against the rest of the world.
The Prelude to the End Game
The US economy will be spiraling out of control in the coming months and will reach critical point by the end of the 1st quarter 2010 and implode by the 2nd quarter.
The massive US$ trillions of dollars stimulus has failed to turn the economy around. The massive blood transfusion may have kept the patient alive, but there are numerous signs of multi-organ failure.
There will be another wave of foreclosures of residential and more importantly commercial properties by end December and early 2010. And the foreclosed properties in 2009 will lead to depressed prices once they come through the pipeline. Home and commercial property values will plunge. Banks' balance sheets will turn ugly and whatever “record profits†in the last two quarters of 2009 will not cover the additional red ink.
Given the above situation, will the Fed continue to buy mortgage-backed securities to prop up the markets? The Fed has already spent trillions buying Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgages with no potential substitute buyer in sight. Therefore, the Fed's balance sheet is as toxic as the “too big to fail†banks that it rescued.
In the circumstances, it makes no sense for anyone to assert that the worst is over and that the global economy is on the road to recovery.
And the surest sign that all is not well with the big banks is the recent speech by the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, William Dudley at Princeton, New Jersey when he said that the Fed would curtail the risk of future liquidity crisis by providing a “backstop†to solvent firms with sufficient collateral.
This warning and assurance deserves further consideration. Firstly, it is a contradiction to state that a solvent firm with sufficient collateral would in fact encounter a liquidity crisis to warrant the need for a fall back on the Fed. It is in fact an admission that banks are not sufficiently capitalized and when the second wave of the tsunami hits them again, confidence will be sorely lacking.
Dudley actually said that, “the central bank could commit to being the lender of last resort... [and this would reduce] the risk of panics sparked by uncertainty among lenders about what other creditors thinkâ€.
To put it bluntly what he is saying is that the Fed will endeavour to avoid the repeat of the collapse of Bear Stearns, Lehman Bros and AIG. It is also an indication that the remaining big banks are in trouble.
It is interesting to note that a Bloomberg report in early November revealed that Citigroup Inc and JP Morgan Chase have been hoarding cash. The former has almost doubled its cash holdings to US$244.2 billion. In the case of the latter, the cash hoard amounted to US$453.6 billion. Yet, given this hoarding by the leading banks, the New York Federal Reserve Bank had to reassure the financial community that it is ready to inject massive liquidity to prop up the system.
It should come as no surprise that the value of the dollar is heading south.
When currencies are being debased, volatility in the stock market increases. But the gains are not worth the risks and if anyone is still in the market, they will be wiped out by the 1st quarter of 2010. The S&P may have shot up since the beginning of the year by over 25 per cent but it has been out-performed by gold. The gains have also lagged behind the official US inflation rate. It has in fact delivered a total return after inflation of approximately minus 25 per cent. When Meredith Whitney remarked that, “I don't know what's going on in the market right now, because it makes no sense to meâ€, it is time to get out of the market fast.
In a report to its clients, Société Générale warned that public debt would be massive in the next two years – 105 per cent of GDP in the UK, 125 per cent in the US and in Europe and 270 per cent in Japan. Global debt would reach US$45 trillion.
At some point in time, all these debts must be repaid. How will these debts be repaid?
If we go by what Bernanke has been preaching and practising, it means more toilet paper currency will be created to repay the debts.
As a result, debasement of currencies will continue and this will further aggravate existing tensions between the competing economies. And when creditors have enough of this toilet paper scam, expect violent reactions!

I checked to see if the one I was going to use was from this series or another that he posted. It is from here.
 
FYI - I am descended from Robert the Bruce & Bruce had as much right as Comyn to the throne as his bloodline was legit as well. He is right about the Templars in Scotland. More on my blood later. I wasn't intending to disclose that this soon.
 
The Scottish monarchy was legit until William of Orange. The current monarchs have my blood, but I don't have theirs. They are frauds who bred into for the purpose of usurpation. They also have Khazar blood in them. I am getting ahead of schedule with this, but you brought it up as I have some posts coming up on the Black Nobility who usurped the Satanic bloodlines beginning with Charlemagne when they overthrew the long-haired sorcerer kings, aka, the Dragon Kings. More later on several of these issues.
 
There is no bloodline of Jesus. That is a ruse to keep the fraud going. They are playing both sides against the middle, as Christianity, while having served its purpose of removing occult knowledge from the populace, is a tool not yet ready to be fully discarded. They have to buy more time, but that time is certainly approaching quickly.

The Most Powerful Sunday School Lesson EVER !!!
 
Who is Lucifer? The answer may surprise you. And no wonder,
for the devil makes himself appear as a messenger of light.
This video series (7 segments) is a summarization of some of the
esoteric truths of the Bible which the author calls the "Secrets of
Lucifer" because they are known to the initiates of Luciferian secret
societies but hidden in plain view from the masses of Christians. I am
presenting them here because I do not believe that Luciferians should
have a monopoly on these truths.
 
 
Remember that it's your responsibility; you're not going to be "saved"
because someone gave you a book which you've never read and a simple
creed for ritualistic recitations. It's something you have to do yourself,
and cannot possibly do without the help of the Most High God YHWH.

You have to forgive my typos from below & here, I OBVIOUSLY don't do spell checks when I am in a hurry - sometimes fearing losing a train of thought. Especially if something comes to me as a bolt of lightning. Even after 35 years of studying this stuff, something new always comes to "light". (Pardon the comparison.) I started studying this when I was in my early teens.
 
When the Khazarian conversion occurred, it is known that it created a civil war amongst them. Supposedly, the nobility only converted & I will cover them more in the future. I am pretty sure that it was more than just the nobility, however, many Jews migrated from the Levant to Khazaria. In particular from Bahgdad, which has been their home for hundreds of years. They took their Babylonian Talmud with them. There was interbreeding which explains their monolithic thinking & actions in their descendants.
 
 
Satan is their adversary. There are are several types of Satanist. Atheistic reverse christians. Some are merely chaos worshippers. (Not going into that theory here.) Then there is theistic. Some theistic believe in a christian Satan but are clueless of facts as there is no christian Satan. There are those who know exactly who Satan is/was & the elite, whether jewish or not, do not worship Satan. They will say that they do when they know it will give the public a rise (or people like like us in particular). Satan is really their enemy. The jews have now bred with the other non-jewish elite, whether they be sephardic or ashkenazim. If anything they worship various pagan gods as well as a horned god. Which is not Satan. (Jews also believe in transmigration of the soul, as do the elite. I do too as well.) Christian ignorance, thinks anything that isn't christian or jewish is Satanic, so it doesn't really matter what they think. To them, Santa is Satanic. S A N T A = S A T A N.
 
There are those who believe in Enki as Satan & the leaders of these organizations are racialist, meaning racially aware, but don't hate for the sake of race (separatist). (Some do however.) They believe that Satan wants the races separated as it is the jews who want them mixed. Which is true about the jews. They do. They're Satanist, as they are adversaries to the jews. Which is what the word means. There are other theories regarding the jews & I don't have time to cover them & don't really care to even discuss them either, but even the new agers say that no one knows where they came from, but are still not anti-semitic for a lack of a better word as I don't want to use the word Satanist in that sense as very few people even know what the damn word really means. They (new-agers) say that they are a benefit of all things! (Some are as not obviously all jews are a problem.) They are ignorant as well. There are also the theories of repitllians. Some say they aren't. Some say they are. I don't really have time for all this now, but you get the picture & do not agree that they worship Satan. The religous jews certainly don't. I will post some things on what rabbis have to say about Satan if I haven't done so already. I don't think that I have. I will have to check.
 
Ultimately, the Third Reich was truly Satanic (yes truly), but I don't think anyone here is ready for the type of facts that that involves here on an "occult level" so I am not going there unless people desire an interest "later" as I am not here to push a belief system on anyone, such as the occult. I am here to concentrate on Abrahamic belief system lies as a means of mental slavery & the elite & anything related to those issues. Nor should it be covered without more information forthcoming in advance of it. Nor do I recommend listening to Bill Cooper's or Texxe Marrs or any other patriot's take on it as the whole patriot network is deluded in christianity (except for David Icke, Alan Watt, Jordan Maxwell & Michael Tsarion) & can't view it objectively. In my opinion, Bill was afraid of what he uncovered. He was smart enough to handle it, but I don't think he could handle it otherwise - emotionally, mentally, etc. He had no way of disproving christianity at the time & he would have been crucified by the patriot movement had it tried to ridicule christianity.* Additionally, we all have our limitations. He certainly had his I am sure he was bound to have had doubts. You can tell when he was reading it.
 
(*If anyone wants to try to crucify me, go ahead & try. Number one, I can walk away & I don't give a damn. I am tired of christianty's intrusion into my life & its place in society. Number two, you won't beat me in argument over the facts unless it is some minor issue or unless new information comes to light that has been hidden, etc. If there is something that I don't know, I will admit, but may still have an opinion on it based upon something I am already aware of.)
 
British Israel is a bunch of nonsense as well. Bill Cooper did cover that too. BTW - I have all of his Mystery Baylon series on DVD. I won't say where I got it from as someone may try to say that it may be a copyright violation, so I will leave it that. (LOL!) I also have some of his other sources, some of which, are as wrong as he is in his thinking as they don't get it either.
 
If anyone here hasn't figured it out yet, I have studied in-depth the partriot & the racialist movements. I see fault in & have agreements with both of them, but I am not going there & this isn't what this is suppose to be about. (I even agree with the elite on several very key issues. I know of many others who do as well. They aren't wrong (factually) about a lot of stuff.)
 
I'll take my $32.18 in silver please.
 
I will look at your links when I have more time.
 
David

I disagree with this series of videos for various reasons which I have absolutley no time to rewatch or go into, however, there is one in here that has been selected (back in September) by me for a later posting for part of its content. It will have nothing to do with Lucifer. Lucifer is the Roman god for Venus. The light bearer. Illumination, etc., etc., etc.

to have all of these particular attributes & if these attributes don't exist it

absolutely no sense that Eve would be punished for doing something that she had
no way of knowing whether it was good or evil or right or wrong or whether being
told not to eat was good or evil or right or wrong in the first place, having
not yet eaten. What? You never understood this? Think your dog would understand

Think about it. (Something you can't even do without intellect.) Being a dumb

I have mental reservations about you.

creator of the universe in Genesis as well as the one who 'created' (used
loosely) or generated the pre-intellectual man. Neither Enlil or Enlil could
create the universe, but yet they were gods nonetheless. (Or are/were they?
Hmmmm. The bible says so. Explain that one christians!) But they were certainly
capable of giving man intelligence. You need to notice that 2 words are used for
"god" in the KJV in Gene Isis? "Lord" & "God". Now why is that? Never noticed it
did you? Become more observant. Most things are right under your nose - hidden
in plain sight, etc.
>

Jewish Samael as well & more so in other places. Enki was the good god & he
'fashioned' man into a type with an intellect, as well as saved man from the
flood by giving him the knowledge he needed to SAVE HIMSELF. (There are 2
creation stories in Gene Isis! Read again if you need to.) Enlil wanted man
destroyed. Don't believe me? Do your own research.

tisk. What crap! Samael is also the diabolos in the NT as the NT was originally
written by a jew under the direction of Rome to pacify militant jews whom Rome
was at war with & who were looking for a warrior messiah & who would refuse to
worship the Roman emperors as gods. They certainly found other uses for this
psy-op that became christianity later. It wasn't used to unify the Roman Empire
as commonly believed, but to enslave the inhabitants of the Roman Empire. Then
later as much of the world as they could force it on to.

"Christian Satan was a stolen concept put into use in the 5th century by the church to scare people into staying in line & be good obedient little sheep."
 
I forgot ot mention that they also modeled this "Satan" after pagan Pan as well as mainly Samael. Not so much Enki.
 
"He is the one who rebelled against 'God' in the jewish mythologies."
 
I have a book called "Hewbrew Myths". Whether one calls them Hebrews or Jews is really not an issue. At this stage they are middle eastern Semitics. (Khazars are mid 700s CE & were phallic worshippers.) Judaism just did not exist in any semblance of its present form until the Persian period & that would have been the Pharisees. There was obviously some influence from Egypt via the Hyksos (Sun or Aten worship) & Persia (Zoroaster). The stories were stolen originally from the Sumerians. They were certainly twisted to get to the point that they came to be in their mythologies. There was a transition to monotheism where one god was worshipped exclusively over other gods. Then there had to be a point when a decision was made to lower the rest of the gods to a status below that of a god & make the one god of many that they worshipped exclusively as an only god.
 
Genesis 6 is a retelling of Genesis 2 on a different level. Genesis 6 obviously came from the Book of Enoch. That is a book that is not dated more than a couple of thousand years old but obviously the contents are pre-flood. The book is probably extremely ancient. The Vatican probably has some copy that is extremely old, but they ain't telling.
 
 
From the Book of Enoch:
 
[Chapter 6]
 
1 And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that
in those days were born unto 2 them beautiful and comely
daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and
lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose
us wives from among the children of men 3 and beget us children.'
And Semjaza, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will
not 4 indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay
the penalty of a great sin.' And they all answered him and said:
'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual
imprecations 5 not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.'
Then sware they all together and bound themselves 6 by mutual
imprecations upon it. And they were in all two hundred; who
descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and
they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn 7 and bound
themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. And these are the names
of their leaders: Samlazaz, their leader, Araklba, Rameel,
Kokablel, Tamlel, Ramlel, Danel, Ezeqeel, Baraqijal, 8 Asael,
Armaros, Batarel, Ananel, Zaq1el, Samsapeel, Satarel, Turel,
Jomjael, Sariel. These are their chiefs of tens.
[Chapter 7]
1 And all the others together with them took unto themselves
wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in
unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them
charms 2 and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them
acquainted with plants. And they 3 became pregnant, and they bare
great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: Who consumed 4
all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain
them, the giants turned against 5 them and devoured mankind. And
they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and 6
fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. Then
the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.
[Chapter 8]
1 And Azazel taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields,
and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth
and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the
use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds
of costly stones, and all 2 colouring tinctures. And there arose
much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they 3 were
led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. Semjaza taught
enchantments, and root-cuttings, 'Armaros the resolving of
enchantments, Baraqijal (taught) astrology, Kokabel the
constellations, Ezeqeel the knowledge of the clouds, Araqiel the
signs of the earth, Shamsiel the signs of the sun, and Sariel the
course of the moon. And as men perished, they cried, and their cry
went up to heaven . . .
[Chapter 9]
1 And then Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel looked down from
heaven and saw much blood being 2 shed upon the earth, and all
lawlessness being wrought upon the earth. And they said one to
another: 'The earth made without inhabitant cries the voice of
their cryingst up to the gates of heaven. 3 And now to you, the
holy ones of heaven, the souls of men make their suit, saying,
"Bring our cause 4 before the Most High."' And they said to the
Lord of the ages: 'Lord of lords, God of gods, King of kings, and
God of the ages, the throne of Thy glory (standeth) unto all the
generations of the 5 ages, and Thy name holy and glorious and
blessed unto all the ages! Thou hast made all things, and power
over all things hast Thou: and all things are naked and open in
Thy sight, and Thou seest all 6 things, and nothing can hide
itself from Thee. Thou seest what Azazel hath done, who hath
taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal
secrets which were (preserved) in heaven, which 7 men were
striving to learn: And Semjaza, to whom Thou hast given authority
to bear rule over his associates. And they have gone to the
daughters of men upon the earth, and have slept with the 9 women,
and have defiled themselves, and revealed to them all kinds of
sins. And the women have 10 borne giants, and the whole earth has
thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness. And now,
behold, the souls of those who have died are crying and making
their suit to the gates of heaven, and their lamentations have
ascended: and cannot cease because of the lawless deeds which are
11 wrought on the earth. And Thou knowest all things before they
come to pass, and Thou seest these things and Thou dost suffer
them, and Thou dost not say to us what we are to do to them in
regard to these.'
[Chapter 10]
1 Then said the Most High, the Holy and Great One spake, and sent
Uriel to the son of Lamech, 2 and said to him: 'Go to Noah and
tell him in my name "Hide thyself!" and reveal to him the end that
is approaching: that the whole earth will be destroyed, and a
deluge is about to come 3 upon the whole earth, and will destroy
all that is on it. And now instruct him that he may escape 4 and
his seed may be preserved for all the generations of the world.'
And again the Lord said to Raphael: 'Bind Azazel hand and foot,
and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening 5 in the
desert, which is in Dudael, and cast him therein. And place upon
him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let
him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may 6,7 not
see light. And on the day of the great judgement he shall be cast
into the fire. And heal the earth which the angels have corrupted,
and proclaim the healing of the earth, that they may heal the
plague, and that all the children of men may not perish through
all the secret things that the 8 Watchers have disclosed and have
taught their sons. And the whole earth has been corrupted 9
through the works that were taught by Azazel: to him ascribe all
sin.' And to Gabriel said the Lord: 'Proceed against the bastards
and the reprobates, and against the children of fornication: and
destroy [the children of fornication and] the children of the
Watchers from amongst men [and cause them to go forth]: send them
one against the other that they may destroy each other in 10
battle: for length of days shall they not have. And no request
that they (i.e. their fathers) make of thee shall be granted unto
their fathers on their behalf; for they hope to live an eternal
life, and 11 that each one of them will live five hundred years.'
And the Lord said unto Michael: 'Go, bind Semjaza and his
associates who have united themselves with women so as to have
defiled themselves 12 with them in all their uncleanness. And when
their sons have slain one another, and they have seen the
destruction of their beloved ones, bind them fast for seventy
generations in the valleys of the earth, till the day of their
judgement and of their consummation, till the judgement that is 13
for ever and ever is consummated. In those days they shall be led
off to the abyss of fire: and 14 to the torment and the prison in
which they shall be confined for ever. And whosoever shall be
condemned and destroyed will from thenceforth be bound together
with them to the end of all 15 generations. And destroy all the
spirits of the reprobate and the children of the Watchers, because
16 they have wronged mankind. Destroy all wrong from the face of
the earth and let every evil work come to an end: and let the
plant of righteousness and truth appear: and it shall prove a
blessing; the works of righteousness and truth' shall be planted
in truth and joy for evermore.
17 And then shall all the righteous escape,
And shall live till they beget thousands of children,
And all the days of their youth and their old age
Shall they complete in peace.
18 And then shall the whole earth be tilled in righteousness, and
shall all be planted with trees and 19 be full of blessing. And
all desirable trees shall be planted on it, and they shall plant
vines on it: and the vine which they plant thereon shall yield
wine in abundance, and as for all the seed which is sown thereon
each measure (of it) shall bear a thousand, and each measure of
olives shall yield 20 ten presses of oil. And cleanse thou the
earth from all oppression, and from all unrighteousness, and from
all sin, and from all godlessness: and all the uncleanness that is
wrought upon the earth 21 destroy from off the earth. And all the
children of men shall become righteous, and all nations 22 shall
offer adoration and shall praise Me, and all shall worship Me. And
the earth shall be cleansed from all defilement, and from all sin,
and from all punishment, and from all torment, and I will never
again send (them) upon it from generation to generation and for
ever.
 
The Birth of Noah
 
(You will probably see why this book was left out of the bible rather quickly into this chapter.)
 
Enki makes another genetic improvement over the previous lots (sly dog - sneaking in, pulling a fast one & having some fun):
 
Fragment of the Book of Noah
[Chapter 106]
1 And after some days my son Methuselah took a wife for his son
Lamech, and she became 2 pregnant by him and bore a son. And his
body was white as snow and red as the blooming of a rose, and the
hair of his head and his long locks were white as wool, and his
eyes beautiful. And when he opened his eyes, he lighted up the
whole house like the sun, and the whole house 3 was very bright.
And thereupon he arose in the hands of the midwife, opened his
mouth, and conversed with the Lord of righteousness. 4 And his
father Lamech was afraid of him and 5 fled, and came to his father
Methuselah. And he said unto him: '
I have begotten a strange son,
diverse from and unlike man, and resembling the sons of the God of
heaven; and his nature is different and he is not like us, and his
eyes are as the rays of the sun, and his 6 countenance is
glorious.
And it seems to me that he is not sprung from me but
from the angels, and I fear that in his days a wonder may be 7
wrought on the earth.
And now, my father, I am here to petition
thee and implore thee that thou mayest go to Enoch, our father,
and learn from him the truth, for his dwelling-place is 8 amongst
the angels.' And when Methuselah heard the words of his son, he
came to me to the ends of the earth; for he had heard that 1 was
there, and he cried aloud, and I heard his voice and I came to
him. And 1 said unto him: ' Behold, here am I, my son, wherefore
hast 9 thou come to me ? ' And he answered and said: ' Because of
a great cause of anxiety have I come to thee, and because of a
disturbing vision 10 have I approached. And now, my father, hear
me: unto Lamech my son there hath been born a son, the like of
whom there is none, and his nature is not like man's nature, and
the colour of his body is whiter than snow and redder than the
bloom of a rose, and the hair of his head is whiter than white
wool, and his eyes are like the rays of the sun, and he opened his
eyes and 11 thereupon lighted up the whole house. And he arose in
the hands of the midwife, and opened 12 his mouth and blessed the
Lord of heaven.
And his father Lamech became afraid and fled to
me, and did not believe that he was sprung from him, but that he
was in the likeness of the angels of heaven; and behold I have
come to thee that thou mayest make known to me the truth.' And I,
Enoch, answered and said unto him: 'The Lord will do a new thing
on the earth, and this I have already seen in a vision, and make
known to thee that in the generation of my father Jared some of
the angels of heaven transgressed the word of the Lord. And behold
they commit sin and transgress the law, and have united themselves
with women and commit sin with them, and have married some of
them, and have begot children by them. And they shall produce on
the earth giants not according to the spirit, but according to the
flesh, and there shall be a great punishment on the earth, and the
earth shall be cleansed from all impurity. Yea, there shall come a
great destruction over the whole earth, and there shall be a
deluge and 16 a great destruction for one year. And this son who
has been born unto you shall be left on the earth, and his three
children shall be saved with him: when all mankind that are on the
earth 8 shall die [he and his sons shall be saved]. And now make
known to thy son Lamech that he who has been born is in truth his
son, and call his name Noah; for he shall be left to you, and he
and his sons shall be saved from the destruction, which shall come
upon the earth on account of all the sin and all the
unrighteousness, which shall be consummated on the earth in his
days. And after that there shall be still more unrighteousness
than that which was first consummated on the earth; for I know the
mysteries of the holy ones; for He, the Lord, has showed me and
informed me, and I have read (them) in the heavenly tablets.

Hello,

I believed David is the one who is saying "More on Enki & Enlil later."

Did something was posted and I missed it ? Can it be posted again?

christians is not the same as for everyone else. Christians think that god has
to have all of these particular attributes & if these attributes don't exist it
can't be a god. All god means is the ability to reason & know right from wrong
or good & evil. Anything less is simply a dumb animal. Which is why it makes
absolutely no sense that Eve would be punished for doing something that she had
no way of knowing whether it was good or evil or right or wrong or whether being
told not to eat was good or evil or right or wrong in the first place, having
not yet eaten. What? You never understood this? Think your dog would understand
you telling him not to eat something right in front of him that was good to eat?
Think he'll listen?

Think about it. (Something you can't even do without intellect.) Being a dumb
animal is no way to exist. I would never want to be dumb animal. And if you do,
I have mental reservations about you.

christians. There are similar gods in other belief systems. (Notice I said
"gods".) The elite do not worship a 'physical being' known as Lucifer.

jewish people or their god, which they believe is themselves. It is merely being
their adversary. Then you are a Satan. (What is called anti-semitism is a

could you then be an anti-semite? They have a lot 'splainin' to do' on that one!

primarily the Sumerian gods Enki (Ea) and Enlil, but also the primeval goddess
Gaia. Elsewhere  god is mainly Enlil & Samael or Enki are Satan. Gaia is the
creator of the universe in Genesis as well as the one who 'created' (used
loosely) or generated the pre-intellectual man. Neither Enlil or Enlil could
create the universe, but yet they were gods nonetheless. (Or are/were they?
Hmmmm. The bible says so. Explain that one christians!) But they were certainly
capable of giving man intelligence. You need to notice that 2 words are used for
"god" in the KJV in Gene Isis? "Lord" & "God". Now why is that? Never noticed it
did you? Become more observant. Most things are right under your nose - hidden
in plain sight, etc.
>  
> Enki is the one that the christian Satan is mainly modeled after in Gene Isis.
Jewish Samael as well & more so in other places. Enki was the good god & he
'fashioned' man into a type with an intellect, as well as saved man from the
flood by giving him the knowledge he needed to SAVE HIMSELF. (There are 2
creation stories in Gene Isis! Read again if you need to.) Enlil wanted man
destroyed. Don't believe me? Do your own research.

story as told.

who didn't want you to have the ability to reason? And why do you worship the
one, who after you acquired the ability to reason, wanted you dead (ceasing to
exist even as a species) from a cataclysm? Time for you to figure that one out
for yourself & then logically justify it afterwards. (Along with a ton of other
nonsensical dogma.) Yes, I intend to offend here. I make no apologies either.

species with intellect. There will never be all one or the other. They HAVE to
coexist. There is no other way. It is foolish to think otherwise. If you don't
have both, you don't have freedom. It is that simple. Without good & evil, YOU
ARE A DUMB ANIMAL. And you christians look forward to a time when no evil exist?

mythologies.  The source of this religious misery ultimately came from these
mythologies & the belief that the one the jews agree with is right. Tisk, tisk,
tisk. What crap! Samael is also the diabolos in the NT as the NT was originally
written by a jew under the direction of Rome to pacify militant jews whom Rome
was at war with & who were looking for a warrior messiah & who would refuse to
worship the Roman emperors as gods. They certainly found other uses for this
psy-op that became christianity later. It wasn't used to unify the Roman Empire
as commonly believed, but to enslave the inhabitants of the Roman Empire. Then
later as much of the world as they could force it on to.

Fusion Centers Will Add Emergency and Public Health Personnel (Government Security News) “The next step in the evolution of the nation’s network of fusion centers is the integration of emergency-services and public-health personnel into their personnel rosters,” reports Government Security News, citing a speech by Homeland Security Acting Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis Bart Johnson at the National Homeland Defense Foundation Symposium in Colorado Springs. The Office of Intelligence and Analysis “has been ‘realigned’ in the Napolitano era to the ‘one-stop shop’ for state, local and tribal governments looking for ‘information and intelligence on homeland security threats,’ Johnson said.” [View article]

Border Localities Saddled With Costs From Operation Stonegarden (Tucson Arizona Star) “Federal grant money from Operation Stonegarden [see the June 12 newsletter] may seem like a windfall for the cities and counties that have eagerly accepted it. But the funds have not been totally free—and in some communities taxpayers will be obligated for decades,” reports the Star. “City and county governments had to foot the bill for mileage and maintenance—and employee-related expenses in some cases—during the first two-year grant cycle.” [View article]

Judge Blames Corps of Engineers for Some Katrina Flooding (ABC News) U.S. District Judge Stanwood Duval “ruled Wednesday that the Army Corps of Engineers’ failure to properly maintain a navigation channel led to massive flooding in Hurricane Katrina,” reports the Associated Press.

Cyberwar Would Hurt Industry, Says McAfee (Federal Computer Week; Network World) “Industry is likely to be caught up in the middle if a cyber war erupts between countries,” reports Federal Computer Week, citing a new report by “security technology company McAfee.” Elements of critical infrastructure—“‘banking and finance, electrical grids, oil and gas refineries and pipelines, water and sanitation utilities, telecommunications systems—are all likely targets in future wars,’ the report” said. Furthermore, “nations that want to disrupt their enemies’ banking, media and government resources don’t need their own technical skills; they can simply order botnet attack services from cybercriminals,” according to Network World, citing the same McAfee report.

SAIC, Not Rapiscan, Should Have Gotten Inspection System Contract, Says GAO (Government Security News) A State Department “purchase order to Rapiscan, Inc. for gamma ray vehicle and cargo inspection systems” should have gone to Science Applications International Corp., the Government Accountability Office has decided, because “Rapiscan did not have a” General Services Administration schedule “in place for those specific products,” and a GSA schedule “was one of the stated requirements of the solicitation,” according to Government Security News.

Federal Protective Service Needs ‘Greater Attention to Key Practices,’ Says GAO The Federal Protective Service’s approach to securing General Services Administration “buildings reflects some aspects of key protection practices” that the Government Accountability Office derived “from the collective practices of federal agencies and the private sector” but “GAO found limitations in each of the areas.” [View GAO summary]

GAO Questions Effectiveness of Advanced Radiation Detection Portal Monitors To reduce false alarms from the monitors, the Homeland Security Department’s Domestic Nuclear Detection Office “plans to modify the” monitors to make them less sensitive to nuclear materials, thereby diminishing the monitors’ capability, reports the Government Accountability Office. “Previous testing results demonstrated that the [monitors] represented a marginal improvement.” The Domestic Nuclear Detection Office “might be able to achieve a similar level of performance … by improving the current-generation portal monitors that are already in place. In addition, the July 2009 testing also identified a critical equipment failure, including an alert malfunction.” [View GAO summary]

GAO Sees Widespread Cyber-Insecurities at Federal Agencies The Government Accountability Office says it has “has identified weaknesses in all major categories of information security controls at federal agencies. For example, in fiscal year 2008, weaknesses were reported in such controls at 23 of 24 major agencies. Specifically, agencies did not consistently authenticate users to prevent unauthorized access to systems; apply encryption to protect sensitive data; and log, audit, and monitor security-relevant events, among other actions. An underlying cause of these weaknesses is agencies’ failure to fully or effectively implement information security programs, which entails assessing and managing risk, developing and implementing security policies and procedures, promoting security awareness and training, monitoring the adequacy of security controls, and implementing appropriate remedial actions.” [View GAO summary]

DHS vs. Interior Dept. on the Mexican Border (Washington Times) “Documents obtained by Rep. Rob Bishop and shared with The Washington Times show [that] National Park Service staffers have tried to stop the U.S. Border Patrol from placing some towers associated with the virtual fence, known as the Secure Border Initiative or SBInet, on wilderness lands in parks along the border.… Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said … that illegal immigrants will increasingly make use of remote, protected areas to avoid being caught. The documents also show [that] the Interior Department has charged the Homeland Security Department $10 million over the past two years as a ‘mitigation’ penalty to pay for damage to public lands that agencies say has been caused by Border Patrol agents chasing illegal immigrants.” [View article]

Los Alamos Again Is Under Fire From GAO (NextGov) “Information security weaknesses continue to plague Los Alamos National Laboratory, according to the Government Accountability Office, which reported on [Nov. 13] that the lab failed to allow only authorized users access to the network,” according to NextGov.

to have all of these particular attributes & if these attributes don't exist it
can't be a god. All god means is the ability to reason & know right from wrong
or good & evil. Anything less is simply a dumb animal. Which is why it makes
absolutely no sense that Eve would be punished for doing something that she had
no way of knowing whether it was good or evil or right or wrong or whether being
told not to eat was good or evil or right or wrong in the first place, having
not yet eaten. What? You never understood this? Think your dog would understand
you telling him not to eat something right in front of him that was good to eat?
Think he'll listen?

> So would you rather be a dumb stupid animal or have the ability to reason?
Think about it. (Something you can't even do without intellect.) Being a dumb
animal is no way to exist. I would never want to be dumb animal. And if you do,
I have mental reservations about you.

"gods".) The elite do not worship a 'physical being' known as Lucifer.

jewish people or their god, which they believe is themselves. It is merely being

primarily the Sumerian gods Enki (Ea) and Enlil, but also the primeval goddess
Gaia. Elsewhere god is mainly Enlil & Samael or Enki are Satan. Gaia is the
creator of the universe in Genesis as well as the one who 'created' (used
loosely) or generated the pre-intellectual man. Neither Enlil or Enlil could
create the universe, but yet they were gods nonetheless. (Or are/were they?
Hmmmm. The bible says so. Explain that one christians!) But they were certainly
capable of giving man intelligence. You need to notice that 2 words are used for
"god" in the KJV in Gene Isis? "Lord" & "God". Now why is that? Never noticed it
did you? Become more observant. Most things are right under your nose - hidden
in plain sight, etc.
>  
> Enki is the one that the christian Satan is mainly modeled after in Gene Isis.
Jewish Samael as well & more so in other places. Enki was the good god & he
'fashioned' man into a type with an intellect, as well as saved man from the
flood by giving him the knowledge he needed to SAVE HIMSELF. (There are 2
creation stories in Gene Isis! Read again if you need to.) Enlil wanted man
destroyed. Don't believe me? Do your own research.

story as told.

> So christians, who do you worship unknowingly? And why do you worship the one
who didn't want you to have the ability to reason? And why do you worship the
one, who after you acquired the ability to reason, wanted you dead (ceasing to
exist even as a species) from a cataclysm? Time for you to figure that one out
for yourself & then logically justify it afterwards. (Along with a ton of other
nonsensical dogma.) Yes, I intend to offend here. I make no apologies either.

> Good & evil have nothing to do with this. These exist anywhere you have a
species with intellect. There will never be all one or the other. They HAVE to
coexist. There is no other way. It is foolish to think otherwise. If you don't
have both, you don't have freedom. It is that simple. Without good & evil, YOU
ARE A DUMB ANIMAL. And you christians look forward to a time when no evil exist?

mythologies. The source of this religious misery ultimately came from these
mythologies & the belief that the one the jews agree with is right. Tisk, tisk,
tisk. What crap! Samael is also the diabolos in the NT as the NT was originally
written by a jew under the direction of Rome to pacify militant jews whom Rome
was at war with & who were looking for a warrior messiah & who would refuse to
worship the Roman emperors as gods. They certainly found other uses for this
psy-op that became christianity later. It wasn't used to unify the Roman Empire
as commonly believed, but to enslave the inhabitants of the Roman Empire. Then
later as much of the world as they could force it on to.

esoteric truths of the Bible which the author calls the "Secrets of
Lucifer" because they are known to the initiates of Luciferian secret
societies but hidden in plain view from the masses of Christians. I am
presenting them here because I do not believe that Luciferians should
have a monopoly on these truths.
 
 
Remember that it's your responsibility; you're not going to be "saved"
because someone gave you a book which you've never read and a simple
creed for ritualistic recitations. It's something you have to do yourself,
and cannot possibly do without the help of the Most High God YHWH.

Tony 'Bliar' looks haunted, but with the new claims that he was behind torture and war lies, he's got a lot to be 'haunted' by!
Haunted: Former Prime Minister Tony Blair at the Cenotaph ceremony on Remembrance Sunday
Just a reminder:-  George Galloway savages Tony Blair's legacy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FoNqeq5T20
 
Iraq report:
The “appalling” errors that contributed to Britain’s failure in Iraq are disclosed in the most detailed and damning set of leaks to emerge on the conflict.
 
 
One can only fear for Tony Blair after last Thursday's European summit at Brussels.
The former Prime Minister had been intriguing and plotting to be appointed European president ever since he left No 10 more than two years ago.
There are several reasons why he so desperately wanted the job, but perhaps the main one concerns the immunity from prosecution seemingly enjoyed by all politicians in high office. 

For the truth is that evidence continues to amass that, under the Blair premiership, the British state was responsible, at times, for some illegal actions which, on occasions, could be considered to be barbarism.

Blair is well aware that if he had become president of the European Council, it would have been very hard to bring him to account.

Indeed, he has watched over the years how Italian prosecutors have found it exceptionally hard to make his close friend and holiday companion, Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, face justice. As an ordinary citizen, however, it is a different matter.

There are three main areas where Blair may have committed illegal acts while in office.

The first concerns corruption, whereby businessmen or large corporations were able to influence government policy or gained other favours in exchange for donations to the Labour Party (for example, the change in policy over tobacco advertising secured by Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone after he gave £1million to the party).

But the most shocking aspect of the Blair administration - which is ironic, since it introduced the Human Rights Act - was its apparent indifference to human rights.

Fresh evidence is emerging every week of the alleged complicity of the British state in the torture of terrorist suspects, particularly after President Bush's White House took a much more brutal approach to such enemies of America after the bombing of the Twin Towers in 2001.

It is inconceivable that British intelligence agents would have been involved in the torture of terror suspects without explicit ministerial sanction.

The question is how much did Blair himself know - and the evidence he did is getting nearer his door all the time. A Human Rights Watch report into British complicity with torture is to be published on Tuesday and will add to the pressure.


The third area of potential illegality concerns the still highly controversial decision to go to war with Iraq in March 2003.

A number of legal experts argue that the war was illegal and Tony Blair is therefore guilty of war crimes.

This is why the Chilcot Inquiry into the Iraq war, whose public hearings finally get under way in London next week, is potentially so dangerous for Blair.

The key question under review is whether the former Labour prime minister lied to the British people.

At the time, Blair said the main reason Britain had to go to war against Saddam Hussein was because of the Iraqi leader's possession of weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

Again and again, Blair asserted that he had convincing evidence that those weapons posed a lethal threat, not only to Iraq's neighbours, but to Britain.

It was these claims that convinced wavering Labour backbenchers to support the Government.

They were in Blair's brilliant and passionate Commons speech on March 18, 2003, that won over doubters that Britain had no other option but join the U.S. in its invasion of Iraq - a military operation that culminated in the greatest humiliation for British forces since Suez in 1956.

Without his doomladen warnings about WMDs, Blair would never have won that Commons vote and Britain would never have gone to war.

But, as we now know, there were never any WMDs. Now, six years on, the crucial question is: did Tony Blair grossly exaggerate - or even invent - the evidence that he told MPs was 'extensive, detailed and authoritative'.

The Chilcot Inquiry is bound to look again at Blair's dossier to Parliament in September 2002 when he stated that 'the assessed intelligence has established beyond doubt' that Saddam had continued to produce chemical and biological weapons.

However, there is mounting evidence that British intelligence never claimed that its officials' briefings of the Prime Minister were anything other than speculation.

Indeed, there remained serious uncertainties in the intelligence assessments - but Blair never levelled with MPs, or the British public, about this.

For instance, one Joint Intelligence Committee assessment emphasised that 'intelligence remains limited, and Saddam's own unpredictability complicates judgments'.

Most importantly, one devastating piece of evidence has emerged since Blair stepped down as prime minister that suggests he may even have known, by the time the war started, that everything he was telling Parliament and the British people about Iraq's so- called WMDs was utterly false.

A book by the Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist Ron Suskind reveals that on the eve of the Iraq war, MI6 obtained a direct interview with Saddam's intelligence chief, Tahir Jalil Habbush.

According to Suskind, Habbush insisted that Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction. 

This account would suggest that by the time Blair made that crucial speech to the Commons on March 18, he knew that the war was unnecessary  -  and, indeed, illegal.

It would also suggest that he misled Lord Goldsmith, the then Attorney General, when he communicated his 'unequivocal' view that Iraq was in breach of UN resolution 1441.

And, of course, if Suskind is right, it would also destroy Blair's main justifications for the war.

It is essential to stress that Suskind's account is supported by verbatim accounts of conversations he had with Sir Richard Dearlove, then head of MI6.

What's more, the author's central allegation - that MI6 interviewed Saddam's intelligence chief - has never been challenged.

Surprisingly, there is no suggestion yet that the Chilcott Inquiry has called Michael Shipster, the MI6 intelligence agent who conducted that extraordinary eve-of-war interview with the intelligence boss, to give evidence.

There is still time for him to be summoned - the public hearings are due to last until February - and it is essential that his testimony is heard.

In recent months, Tony Blair has acquired a worn and haggard look. He appeared a haunted man when he attended the Cenotaph ceremony on Armistice Day. Considering what is on his mind, this is no surprise.

His predecessor, Margaret Thatcher, has only to enter a restaurant and the room will rise to applaud her. Tony Blair, in contrast, is increasingly reviled and insulted.

In all the previous inquiries into the Iraq disaster, Blair has been able to use the power that comes from high office to protect himself from censure.

Now that he is a private citizen, and his dreams of the European presidency have evaporated, he is vulnerable as never before.

Mandy, Corfu holidays and his Russian oligarch friend 

I have received a response from Sergey Babichenko, press secretary to the Russian tycoon Oleg Deripaska, in reply to the list of questions I posed in this column last month about his company called Basic Element and his business connections.

I originally raised these issues after questions about Mr Deripaska's relationship with Business Secretary Lord Mandelson

Mr Deripaska originally hit the headlines in the summer of 2008 when it was revealed that he had met both Mandelson and Shadow Chancellor George Osborne on a yacht off Corfu and where it was alleged that he had offered to donate money to the Tory Party.

Mr Babichenko's letter to me reads as follows: 'By the time Mr Deripaska became involved with the Russian aluminium industry, the latter had been targeted by organised crime groups and plant managers were routinely corrupt and controlled by criminals.

'The smelters had little revenues, failed routinely to pay their employees, made few investments, and paid no taxes. Through the persistent efforts and hard work of Mr Deripaska and others like him, criminal groups were driven out, economic performance was improved and these problems were resolved.

'Your questions are clearly designed to give the wrongful impression that Mr Deripaska is associated with criminal elements, which is misleading and wrong.

'Regarding the U.S., Mr Deripaska has visited that country twice this year. This was reported on the front page of the Wall Street Journal on Friday, October 30, the day before Mr Oborne's column was published.

'We do not comment on private meetings. However, as it happens, Mr Deripaska has not met Lord Mandelson since the summer of last year.

'He has never offered Lord Mandelson a position on the board of any company. Basic Element has no plans to float on the London Stock Exchange.' I am grateful to Mr Babichenko for his explanations.

 
I made-up my mind about Bliar back in 1994/97, when John Smith "suddenly" had a heart attack and died at the age of 56 (the former Labour leader)
and Bliar 'conveniently' took over and then won the election and became P.M.
He was chosen then for the job and those responsible have since rewarded him with the most inappropriate position as " Peace Envoy to the Middle East"
for all those years as P.M. doing all he could for them . And those same people still control the U.K. and America! ie Rothschild !!!!
 
So there's a million reasons why the World should now go all out on Bliar!! And most of Europe thinks the same!! GJ (UK)
 
Fury as credit crunch civil servant lands top Rothschild job

Critics fear that Mr Kingman’s  knowledge of Treasury policy and the financial secrets of the rescued banks will give him an advantage over rivals.

Labour MP John Mann, a member of the Commons Treasury Select Committee, said there appeared to be ‘a major conflict of interest’. 

He added: ‘I think it is disturbing someone with such a knowledge of the public bail-out of the banks should be able to jump across to a private investment bank in this way.

Supreme Court now has Obama Citizenship Concern

This is unconfirmed, but I got it from a reliable source.  Passing along as an FYI. 
 
BOMBSHELL: Supreme Court now has Obama Citizenship Concern
 
AP- WASHINGTON D.C. - In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama's qualifications for the presidency, the group Americans for
 Freedom of Information has Released copies of President Obama's college transcripts from Occidental College Released today, the
 transcript indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an
 undergraduate at the school.
 
The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court
 of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students
 from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program.  To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship.
 
This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama's detractors have been seeking.
 
Along with the evidence that he was first born in Kenya and there is no record of him ever applying for US citizenship, this is looking
 pretty grim.  The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama's legitimacy and
 qualification to serve as president. When reached for comment in London, where he has been in meetings with British Prime Minister
 Gordon Brown, Obama smiled but refused comment on the issue.
 
Britain 's Daily Mail also carried the story in a front-page article titled, Obama Eligibility Questioned leading some to speculate that
 the story may overshadow economic issues on Obama's first official visit to the U.K.
 
In a related matter, under growing pressure from several groups, Justice Antonin Scalia announced that the Supreme Court agreed on
 Tuesday to hear arguments concerning Obama's legal eligibility to serve as President in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New Jersey.
 
This lawsuit claims Obama's dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. Donofrio's case is just one of 18 suits brought
 by citizens demanding proof of Obama's citizenship or qualification to serve as president.
 
Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation of Obama's campaign spending.
 
This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in 12
 states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records.  Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is
 still ongoing but that the final report will be provided to the U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder.  Mr. Holder has refused to
 comment on the matter.

Fed Beaten: Bill To Audit Federal Reserve Passes Key Hurdle
 
If you recall a few months ago, Bernanke was asked before a Congressional committee what happened to trillions of dollars. Bernanke arrogantly admitted that they do not have to be accountable to the American people for money they lend.  Here is the clip again,
 
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCWXrMCGJT4&NR=1&feature=fvwp. (5:43 mins).  Bernanke is visibly uncomfortable.  Senator Sanders did a great job grilling him.

FYI - Reported Thursday Nov 19 2009

 
 
 
In an unprecedented defeat for the Federal Reserve, an amendment to audit the multi-trillion dollar institution was approved by the House Finance Committee with an overwhelming and bipartisan 43-26 vote on Thursday afternoon despite harried last-minute lobbying from top Fed officials and the surprise opposition of Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who had previously been a supporter.
The measure, cosponsored by Reps. Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), authorizes the Government Accountability Office to conduct a wide-ranging audit of the Fed's opaque deals with foreign central banks and major U.S. financial institutions. The Fed has never had a real audit in its history and little is known of what it does with the trillions of dollars at its disposal.

Bank of America, UBS, JPMorgan Sued Over Derivatives

Bank of America, UBS, JPMorgan Sued Over Derivatives

November 18th, 2009 Via: Bloomberg:

Bank of America Corp., UBS AG and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were sued by a California public utility over claims they rigged sales of municipal derivatives and shared illegal profits through kickbacks.

The lawsuit, filed by the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, is based on federal and state antitrust claims. It alleges Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bank of America and more than a dozen other banks conspired to pre-select winners of municipal derivative auctions, coordinated their pricing, and accepted kickbacks disguised as fees from co-conspirators.

The allegations resemble those made by a U.S. grand jury in New York last month, according to the lawsuit filed Nov. 12 in federal court in Sacramento. CDR Financial Products Inc. founder David Rubin and two employees of the Beverly Hills, California- based company were indicted for allegedly accepting kickbacks on investments sold to local governments. CDR is also named as a defendant in the Sacramento case.

The banks engaged in “allocating customers and markets for municipal derivatives, rigging the bidding process by which municipal bond issuers acquire municipal derivatives, and conspiring to manipulate the terms that issuers received,” according to the lawsuit.

The charges against Rubin and the CDR employees were the first to result from a more than three-year investigation into bid-rigging in the municipal bond market. The probe is continuing and has already drawn in some two dozen banks, insurers and local government advisers.

Derivatives are unregulated financial instruments linked to stocks, bonds, loans, currencies and commodities, or linked to specific events such as changes in interest rates or weather.




November 17th, 2009 Via: Sydney Morning Herald:

Tens of thousands of Amazonians are suing Chevron, the American oil company, for poisoning their waterways in what is billed as one of the biggest environmental cases in history.

The Ecuadorean claimants said the company illegally dumped toxic waste from its oil production, which filtered into the lakes used by thousands of people for washing and drinking.

The result, they claimed, was one of the worst environmental disasters in history, which led to a public health crisis with rising levels of cancer, birth defects and miscarriages.

Some 30,000 Amazonians are behind a case to be heard by an Ecuadorean judge. Experts said the company might have to pay damages of up to $US27 billion ($29 billion).

The company said there was no proof that any illnesses were caused by its operations. It said the responsibility for cleaning the area lay with the Ecuadorean government and Petroecuador, the state oil company.

 Israel increases its presence in Latin America
 
Global CST has signed a 10 million US dollar contract with the Peruvian Government of Alan Garcia to train and oversee the Peruvian army against "Shining Path". In addition, Global CST has already sold to the Peruvian army 3 million US dollars worth of night vision materials.

Despite denying any type of subordination to the Government of Tel-Aviv, Global CST is an essential piece of the Israeli military-industrial complex. It constitutes a lean structure which employs only a handful of individuals, but which is linked to the Mikal Group (brands: Soltam, ITL, Saymar), the second most important private company in the Israeli armament industry. Managed by Avrahm (Miko) Gilat, Mikal sells a whole gamut of products ranging from artillery parts, light armoured vehicles and optoelectronics.

The CEO of Global CST is Israeli general Ziv (former Israeli Army chief-of-staff), who was defeated by Hezbollah in 2006.

In 2008, Global CST organized Ingrid Betancourt’s rescue operation in Colombia (dubbed Operation Jaque) while simultaneously planning Georgia’s aggression against South Ossetia (an operation which claimed more than one thousand lives).

Global CST’s deployment in Colombia and Peru should be appraised in conjunction with the supervision of the Honduran military junta by other Israeli "private" military companies.


 

 
Rumors Of Coups And War: U.S., NATO Target Latin America
The United States are back in Latin America. The military coup in Honduras marked the beginning of Washington’s renewed grip on that continent. While another coup was thwarted in Paraguay, the United States, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands have been deploying new forces to encircle the ALBA countries with a view to attacking Nicaragua, Ecuador and Venezuela. Readying for the gathering storm, Chile has embraced the North-American camp and stockpiled a powerful arsenal.
 
 

As the Light onto the Nations by Gilad Atzmon

‘Israel is the light onto the nations’ says the Torah. Indeed it is, and not just because the Torah says so. Israel is ahead of everyone else in many fronts. Take for instance, terrorizing civilian populations and practicing some of the most devastating murderous tactics upon elders, women and young.

The Jerusalem post reported yesterday that the Chairman of NATO's Military Committee, Admiral Giampaolo Di Paola, visited Israel earlier this week to study “IDF tactics and methods that the military alliance can utilise for its war in Afghanistan.” A senior Israeli defence official added "The one thing on NATO's mind today is how to win in Afghanistan…Di Paola was very impressed by the IDF, which is a major source of information due to our operational experience."

'Tell the commanding general to call off all charges or there will be a re-enactment of Fort Hood.' Suspicious note and package found at Fort Benning --Fort Benning: Box of hollow-point bullets and an anonymous note threatening an incident like the one at Fort Hood left at gazebo 21 Nov 2009 (GA) A Fort Benning spokesman says Army officials are investigating whether a suspicious note and package found at the west Georgia post is a viable threat. Bob Purtiman says a soldier found the note and package Thursday morning in an outdoor gazebo. The soldier immediately told a supervisor, who called 911.

Note said Fort Hood-style shooting could happen --Witness: Increase in MP patrols on post, Kelley Hill area of Fort Benning on lockdown status for part of Friday 21 Nov 2009 A box of hollow-point bullets and an anonymous note threatening an incident like the one at Fort Hood, Texas, were discovered Thursday at Fort Benning, Ga., sparking a criminal investigation and greater police presence, a witness told Army Times. According to a witness at the scene, a box of 20 hollow-point shells and a handwritten note were found in the motor pool area between 1st Battalion and 2nd Battalion, 29th Infantry, under the 197th Infantry Training Brigade. "The note said 'tell the commanding general to call off all charges or there will be a re-enactment of Fort Hood,' " the witness told Army Times. He spoke on condition he wouldn’t be identified. After the discovery, he said, military police arrived with dogs, cordoned off a 20-foot perimeter around the box and began dusting for fingerprints and questioning people.

Army refuses to identify Hasan prosecutors, chases away journalists --Judicial order further restricts Hasan 21 Nov 2009 In a court hearing from a San Antonio military hospital room Saturday, the Army obtained a judicial order that placed more restrictions on accused Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, and makes it easier for the military to move him from Brooke Army Medical Center pending trial, according to his lead lawyer. But where Hasan might be moved -- or when -- remained a mystery after the hearing, which lasted an hour and a half and was held in BAMC's Intensive Care Unit, where Hasan is recuperating, the lawyer, retired Army Col. John P. Galligan said. Galligan addressed reporters outside the gates of Fort Sam Houston, where BAMC is located, because the Army did not allow the media to attend the hearing and sidestepped a legal challenge from the San Antonio Express-News that sought access for journalists. Post guards chased away journalists who approached Galligan's vehicle after the hearing because half of the car was still within the outer perimeter gate. Additionally, the Army only supplied vague details of the hearing late Friday after getting inquiries from the media. It even refused to identify the prosecutors.

Senate Votes to Open Health Care Debate 22 Nov 2009 The Senate voted on Saturday to begin full debate on major health care legislation, propelling President Obama’s top domestic initiative over a crucial, preliminary hurdle in a formidable display of muscle-flexing by the Democratic majority. The 60-to-39 vote, along party lines, clears the way for weeks of rowdy floor proceedings that will begin after Thanksgiving and last through much of December.

1845 - 1836 = 9
 
Coincidence?
 
Who knows?
 
Were some Masons aware of the infiltration of their lodges & goals &
decided to try one more time in Texas? Or was it all just part of the
same plan & Manifest Destiny?
 
The "Come and Take It" flag that most of you have seen came from the
battle over the cannon at Gonzales.

I am new to the group so I am in a lost here. I really don't know what you guys are saying here but I'll leave it at that. Maybe after becoming familiar to posts and members I will get a clue.

Kindle , thanks for posting these. Bill Cooper gives some insights that
I learned much from these bits. I know he was a true Patriot and gave
his life for what he believed and for Freedom. A true Patriot indeed.

I am terrible at high-tech, but Is there a way a can burned those
videos to a CD?
