THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!
" The U.S. public is depoliticized, poorly informed on foreign affairs ... and strongly patriotic in the face of a struggle with "another Hitler". Even though the public is normally averse to war, even with modest propaganda efforts ... the public can be quickly transformed into enthusiastic supporters of war."-- Edward S. Herman, economist, author, and US media and foreign policy critic, Z magazine June, 1999

Geithner Says U.S. Will ‘Never’ Lose Its Aaa Debt Rating
Tags: ECONOMY
Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner said the U.S. is in no danger of losing its Aaa debt rating even though the Obama administration has predicted a $1.6 trillion budget deficit in 2010.
“Absolutely not,” Geithner said, when asked in an ABC News interview broadcast today whether a downgrade is a concern. “That will never happen to this country.”

Hitchens Has No Clothes: A response to ‘Vidal Loco'
By: StingRay
Tags: 911 AFGHANISTAN COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS/PROPAGANDA
In his February Vanity Fair hitpiece, Christopher Hitchens argues that the post-9/11 world has driven Gore Vidal ‘Loco’ – the signs, he says, were always there, but 9/11 and events thereafter ‘accentuated a crackpot strain that gradually asserted itself as dominant.’
Hitchens begins his missive with Gore’s take on 9/11 itself, in which he ‘insinuated or asserted that the administration had known in advance of the attacks on New York and Washington and was seeking a pretext to build a long-desired pipeline across Afghanistan.’

Assad: We'll stand by Lebanon in case of Israeli attack
Tags: LEBANON
Syrian President Bashar Assad addressed the voices of war and peace in the Middle East for the first time Sunday evening. Speaking in a meeting with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berry, Assad stressed that his government and the Syrian people would stand by Lebanon "in any case of an Israeli attack which it may face."
Official Syrian news agency SANA reported that the two discussed "the repeated Israeli threats against the region's countries and Israeli extremism threatening to destroy the chances for peace by igniting the region with wars and taking it into the unknown."
Webmaster's Commentary:
Bashar Assad is no fool; he knows what's coming.
And Israel may well want to think twice about going back into Lebanon.

The second wave of mortgage defaults and foreclosures will hit the economy this year
Tags: ECONOMY
As we have been forecasting for the last two years, the second wave of mortgage defaults and foreclosures will hit the economy this year. Not only will we have failure in prime loans and option-arm loans, but we are faced with a new crop of subprime and ALT-A loans put into motion by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and FHA. In addition, we find it of great interest that the FHA is changing the rules to purchase homes. That, of course, means less homes will be purchased.
The incidence of unemployment may be lessening, but it isn’t going away. Those of you who keep your ear to the ground know that real unemployment is 22.5% and in cities like Detroit it is somewhere near 45 to 50 percent. This is the result of free trade, globalization, offshoring and outsourcing.

As for timing, the US will not give Israel the green light to attack Iran until another carrier task for joins the two already in the Gulf (USS Enterprise and USS Stennis). The Pentagon has indicated they are prepared to send the USS Nimitz to the Gulf to arrive in April. This indicates that the most likely timing of the attack will be between April and July of this year. The transfer of the Nimitz is being contested by CENTCOM commander Admiral Fallon. He may even be replaced for making statements inferring that an attack on Iran will not occur on his watch.

The Defense Industry Is Pleased with Obama
Tags: CURRENT EVENTS
Who says the president is failing to show leadership? In one area at least, there's no sign of flag or falter. If anything, the administration's only becoming more forthright. Sad to say, that area is military build-up.
The quote of the day comes from the CEO of a military contractor-funded policy group called the Lexington Institute. Loren Thompson tells Tuesday's New York Times, "The defense industry is pleased but bemused... It's been telling itself for years that when the Democrats got control it would be bad news for weapons programs. But the spending keeps going on."

U.S. doesn't foresee nuclear deal with Iran in near future
Tags: IRAN
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said on Saturday he saw no sign a deal was close between Iran and Western powers on exchanging some of its low-enriched uranium (LEU) for higher-grade fuel, suggesting it was time to move forward with sanctions.
His comments stood in contrast to those by Iran's foreign minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, who said on Friday he saw good prospects for clinching a deal with world powers on exchanging LEU for higher-grade fuel it can use in a reactor producing medical isotopes.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Neither the US (nor Israel) wants a reasonable deal in this case; Israel wants the US to go to war to remove yet another of their "existential threats" in the region.
But a short memo to Tel Aviv and Washington, and it's about the 9,000 gorilla, sitting on the Steinway in the living room, and that is Russia.
As reported today in:
http://www.mynews.in/News/Russia_for_nuke_strikes_against_potential_aggressors_N37475.html
"President Dmitry Medvedev has signed country’s new military doctrine which allows preventive nuclear strikes against potential aggressors."
So, war with Iran most likely means a war with Russia, which has nukes.
Any questions?!?!?!?

Taliban reject Karzai reconciliation offer
Tags: AFGHANISTAN
Afghanistan's Taliban rejected President Hamid Karzai's latest attempt to reach out to them as "futile" and "farcical" on Sunday, but said they were open to talks to achieve their goal of an Islamic state.
"This is not the first time that the Kabul regime and the invading countries want to throw dust into the eyes of the public of the world by announcing reconciliation in words and, in practice, make preparation for war," said a statement posted in English on the Afghan Taliban's website, alemarah.info.
Webmaster's Commentary:
The Taliban are smart enough to recognize they don't have to "reconcile" with Karzai's government; all they have to do is to wait.
The Karzai government, so befouled with its own corruption, will ultimately collapse, and the US will have its "Saigon moment" and leave.
At that point, the US will, again, have to negotiate with whatever government is left standing in Kabul for rights to the oil pipelines.
Please remember: as late as August of 2001, the Bush administration was negotiating for rights to the pipelines with the Taliban government, but thought the price demanded was "too high".
Apparently, the Bush administration thought that a war, and the cost in blood of our brave military, and in money, was somehow "cheaper" than negotiations in the long-run.
It has not been cheaper for those young men and women who have died, or been maimed for life, in the pursuit of private profits for the oil companies.
It has not been "cheaper" for the families and friends who mourn them, or - for those still alive and badly injured - are desperately seeking help from a Veterans Administration system which routinely ignores them, makes them wait, and provides substandard care.
Of course, these people are completely expendable to the powers that be in Washington..and the corporations which profit so handsomely from war.

Obama's shameful touting of misleading unemployment numbers will come back to haunt him
Tags: ECONOMY
President Obama's repeated references to Friday's surprising decline in the unemployment rate epitomize his utter disregard toward the intellect of our citizenry. His citation of these numbers as evidence we are "climbing out of the hole we found ourselves in" reveals an assumption on his part that the folks are incapable of figuring things out for themselves. While Obama surely isn't the coldest beer in the fridge, he isn't stupid enough to actually believe Americans can't figure out this scam.
Webmaster's Commentary:
There are no "green shoots of hope"; there is no such critter as a "jobless recovery";and the stock market is still heavily overvalued.
These factors, coupled with a staggeringly unrepayable Federal debt, is the recipe for a perfect economic storm coming later this year which may well slam this country harder than anyone might expect.

Defiant Ahmadinejad orders higher uranium enrichment

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday ordered Iran's atomic chief to begin higher uranium enrichment, raising the stakes in a dispute with the West days after seeming to accept a UN-drafted nuclear deal.
Ahmadinejad's declaration drew immediate fire from Britain, which said it was "clearly a matter of serious concern," while US Defence Secretary Robert Gates called for mounting "international pressure" on Iran.

According to environmentalists, the wall will stop the flow of water to the natural springs and thus threatens to dry out much of the Palestinian land.
They also see the wall - illegal under international law - as a part of long-term Israeli policy to grab more and more Palestinian land in the West Bank.
But the Israeli government says the separation wall is for security reasons, in order to stop Palestinians carrying out attacks in Israel.

All Hell Could Beak Loose in Europe This Week; CDS Counter-Party Risks Again
Tags: ECONOMY EUROPE
http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2010/02/all-hell-could-beak-loose-in-europe.html
At the end of the meeting yesterday, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner told reporters, “I just want to underscore they made it clear to us, they the European authorities, that they will manage this [the Greek debt crisis] with great care.”
But the Europeans are not being careful – and it’s not just about Greece any more. Worries about government debt and associated public sector liabilities (e.g., because banking systems are in deep trouble) have spread through the eurozone to Spain and Portugal. Ireland and Italy are next up for hostile reconsideration by the markets, and the UK may not be far behind...
The IMF cannot help in any meaningful way. And the stronger EU countries are not willing to help – in part because they want to be tough, but also because they do not have effective mechanisms for providing assistance-with-strings. Unconditional bailouts are simple – just send a check. Structuring a rescue package that will garner support among the German electorate – whose current and future taxes will be on the line – is considerably more complicated.
The financial markets know all this and last week sharpened their swords. As we move into this week, expect more selling pressure across a wide range of European assets.
As this pressure mounts, we’ll see cracks appear also in the private sector. Significant banks and large hedge funds have been selling insurance against default by European sovereigns. As countries lose creditworthiness – and, under sufficient pressure, very few government credit ratings will hold up – these financial institutions will need to come up with cash to post increasing amounts of collateral against their derivative obligations (yes, the same credit default swaps that triggered the collapse last time).
Remember that none of the opaqueness of the credit default swap market has been addressed since the crisis of September 2008. And generalized counter-party risk – the fear that your insurer will fail and this will bring down all connected banks – raises its ugly head again....

It is a challenge to say that things are getting better when every month that goes by more Americans are losing their jobs or needing to apply for food assistance. In the latest data for food assistance through SNAP we find that 200,000 more Americans were added to the program. That now brings the total number of Americans on food assistance to 38,183,000. 1 out of 10 Americans are receiving food assistance. For 2009 this cost the government $50 billion, up from $34 billion in 2008 and $30 billion in 2007. It should be no surprise then that average Americans are questioning the viability of a middle class in the upcoming decade.

AN ATTACK FROM HARVARD LAW ON THE ESCALATING 9/11 TRUTH MOVEMENT
By: StingRay
Tags: 911 COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS/PROPAGANDA
So, what is proposed? "Practically speaking", the authors write, "government might do well to maintain a more vigorous counter-disinformation establishment." (pg 19) They recommend that government officials respond "to more rather than fewer conspiracy theories [which] has a kind of synergy benefit: it reduces the legitimating effect of responding to any one of them, because it dilutes the contrast with unrebutted theories." (pgs 15, 29) Such advice assumes that all theories -- or aspects of a single theory -- are essentially equal in validity or lack of validity -- an odd position for legal minds supposedly sensitive to fine distinctions. But that would not matter when the point is simply to defeat citizen efforts.
More menacing, however is that the authors suggest "planting doubts [to] undermine the crippled epistemology [through] cognitive infiltration" of groups by governmental agents or by forces appointed by government. (pgs 3, 14, 15, 22, 29)"Government agents (and their allies)", they write, "might enter chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine percolating conspiracy theories." In light of such proposals for dealing with citizens seeking truth, that Cass Sunstein is "one of America's leading constitutional scholars" (See above link to the White House announcement) is appalling.

It Is Now Mathematically Impossible To Pay Off The U.S. National Debt
Tags: ECONOMY
A lot of people are very upset about the rapidly increasing U.S. national debt these days and they are demanding a solution. What they don't realize is that there simply is not a solution under the current U.S. financial system. It is now mathematically impossible for the U.S. government to pay off the U.S. national debt. You see, the truth is that the U.S. government now owes more dollars than actually exist. If the U.S. government went out today and took every single penny from every single American bank, business and taxpayer, they still would not be able to pay off the national debt.

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, a 47 nation body encompassing democratically elected members of parliament, began hearings last month to investigate whether the H1N1 swine flu pandemic was falsified or exaggerated in an attempt to profit from vaccine sales.

IRAN: "For the last time, we are not building weapons. We are building a power station, which the NNPT, which we signed with the US (and you did not) allows us to do!"
ISRAEL: "If Iran persists in the creation of nuclear weapons, Israel must act!"
IRAN: "Look, bozo, the IAEA has been in here over and over again. There is no weapons factory here. If the US was in compliance with Article IV of the NNPT and helped us to build our power station, they would also know there is no weapons facility here. You want weapons, go to Dimona!"

Western Officials Slam Iran for Accepting Western Demands on Nuclear Swap

What Ahmadinejad has just done has been to pull the rug out from any logical pretext to sanctions or war.
And that is what has the US and Israel so completely angry.
OF course, there may still be a war anyway, no matter what Iran does. But now, it will have no cover of legitimacy whatsoever, and that is precisely how such a war will be viewed by the rest of the world.
And that may well bring Russia into the fray on Iran's side.

Classify Afghan drugs as global threat: Russia
Tags: AFGHANISTAN
Moscow: There are around two million drug abusers in Russia who depend on opiates and another three million take cannabis, hashish and synthetic drugs, according to the Russian Federal Drugs Control Service.
Of them 90 percent take Afghanistan's drugs, mainly heroin.
"It is necessary to engage the UNSC and to classify the production of drugs in Afghanistan, which is abnormal by its scale, as a global threat to peace and security," Ivanov said, adding this evil should be "equated to terrorism by its menacing potential”.
Webmaster's Commentary:
When specific groups control the drug trade, they also control where the drugs wind up.
It's interesting to note that under the watch of the Taliban, the cultivation of the opium poppy was almost completely eradicated.
Suddenly, after the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, the cultivation and production of opium poppies soared.
To say that there cannot possibly be a connection between the occupation and soaring heroin production here is preposterous.
And for anyone screaming, "this can't be so!", please remember: elements of the US government has a sordid reputation for involvement in the drug trade, as happened in the "golden triangle" area of southeast Asia during the Viet Nam war, and with Iran Contra.

Then the debt bomb explodes "and the results won't be pretty for investors or elected officials."
Forbes discovered the trigger mechanism in "This Time Is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly," by economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff: The "90% ratio of government debt to GDP is a tipping point in economic growth." For 800 years "you increase it over and beyond a high threshold, and boom!" Well guess what? "The U.S. government-debt-to-GDP ratio is 84%." Soon, Ka-Booom! Depression.

In a move that follows intensifying concern among investors over the US deficit, Moody’s said the country faced a trajectory of debt growth that was “clearly continuously upward”.
“Unless further measures are taken to reduce the budget deficit further or the economy rebounds more vigorously than expected, the federal financial picture as presented in the projections for the next decade will at some point put pressure on the triple A government bond rating,” the rating agency added in an issuer note.
Webmaster's Commentary:
It looks as though this nation's economy is poised to fall off a cliff, in the not too distant future.

Iran faces 'severe sanctions' over nuclear program: Gates
Tags: IRAN
Iran faces the prospect of "severe sanctions" from the United States and other major powers over its suspect nuclear activities, US Defense Secretary Robert Gates said on Wednesday.
Gates's comments came as the administration reacted cautiously Wednesday to an apparent U-turn by Iran on a UN-brokered deal aimed at defusing international concerns over its nuclear ambitions.
Webmaster's Commentary:
To hear Gates make these statements, it's almost as though Ahmedinejad's offer yesterday to send their uranium abroad for enrichment means absolutely nothing

Testifying under oath during confirmation hearings, Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel Alito offered assurances about their respect for legal precedent and the appropriate role of the judiciary.
The recent decision of the court overturning settled campaign finance law achieved through bipartisan action of the elected legislative and executive branches was contemptuous of precedent, aggressive in its political intent, extremist in its impact and radical in its usurpation of power against the elected branches of government.
The "anything goes" ethic of a politics held in wide disrepute now extends to five Supreme Court justices who rule that unlimited sums of unregulated money can be spent to buy power over our republic.

Israeli Occupation-Supporting Companies To Boycott By Stephen Lendman

Nothing so far has worked. Palestine is still occupied. Its people continue to suffer. Their human rights are denied. World leaders ignore them. This no longer can be tolerated. In solidarity, people of conscience everywhere must pressure Israel with BDS initiatives that include boycotting Israeli companies, their products and services, and global ones supporting the occupation.

9/11: Would Government?
Tags: 911
When you grasp the WHY of 911 you will have less emotional resistance to discovering who murdered over 3,000 of our citizens. The late Aaron Russo's documentary videos offer a broad theory of the WHY. They need to be seen, although it seems unrealistic that a controlling oligarchy would risk employing technical expertise to execute 911. A more plausible theory, starting from CUI BONO, (Who Benefits? - the Latin starting argument in determining guilt) was propounded at the end of 2003 by Professor Paul J. Balles. Motive and benefit may be shared by both the guilty and the innocent. To accomplish as sophisticated an event as 911 requires means and opportunity, as well as motive (benefit).

US, Karzai Clash on Unconditional Talks With Taliban
Tags: AFGHANISTAN
On the surface, it would seem unlikely that Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who presides over a politically feeble government and is highly dependent on the U.S. military presence and economic assistance, would defy the United States on the issue of peace negotiations with the leadership of the Taliban insurgency.
But a long-simmering conflict between Karzai and key officials of the Barack Obama administration over that issue came to a head at last week’s London Conference, when the Afghan president refused to heed U.S. signals to back off his proposal to invite the Taliban leaders to participate in a nationwide peace conference.
Webmaster's Commentary:
With all his faults and corruption, Karzai realizes that the only way any true stability is going to be achieved in Afghanistan is by including the Taliban into the government, rather than marginalizing and demonizing them.

The Crisis Is Not Over
By: poorrichard
Tags: ECONOMY
The financial crisis is essentially a U.S. crisis, spread abroad by the sale of toxic financial instruments. The rest of the world got into trouble by trusting Wall Street. The real American crisis is much worse than the financial crisis. The real American crisis is the offshoring of U.S. manufacturing, industrial, and professional service jobs such as software engineering and information technology.
Jobs offshoring was initiated by Wall Street pressures on corporations for higher earnings and by performance-related bonuses becoming the main form of managerial compensation. Corporate executives increased profits and obtained bonuses by substituting cheaper foreign labor for U.S. labor in the production of goods and services marketed in the U.S.
http://www.opednews.com/articles/The-Crisis-Is-Not-Over-by-Paul-Craig-Roberts-100202-265.html
...As most of the derivative instruments had never been priced in the market, and as their exact composition between good and bad loans was unknown (the instruments are based on packages of securitized loans), the mark-to-market rule drove the values very low, thus threatening the solvency of many financial institutions. Also, the rule prohibiting continuous shorting had been removed, making it possible for hedge funds and speculators to destroy the market capitalization of targeted firms by driving down their share prices.
The obvious solution was to suspend the mark-to-market rule until some better idea of the values of the derivative instruments could be established and to prevent the abuse of shorting that was destroying market capitalization. Instead, the Goldman Sachs people in charge of the U.S. Treasury and, perhaps, the Federal Reserve as well, used the crisis to secure subsidies for the banks from U.S. taxpayers and from the Federal Reserve. It looks like a manipulated crisis as well as a real one due to greed unleashed by financial deregulation.
The crisis will not be over until financial regulation is restored, but Wall Street has been able to block re-regulation. Moreover, the response to the crisis has planted seeds for new crises. Government budget deficits have exploded. In the U.S. the fiscal year 2009 federal budget deficit was $1.4 trillion, three times higher than the 2008 deficit. President Obama's budget deficits for 2010 and 2011, according to the latest report, will total $2.9 trillion, and this estimate is based on the assumption that the Great Recession is over. Where is the U.S. Treasury to borrow $4.3 trillion in three years?...

Republicans unite to halt trials of alleged 9/11 plotters
Tags: 911
US lawmakers Tuesday unveiled plans to block public funding for US-based trials involving Guantanamo detainees who are accused of plotting the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Republican lawmakers Frank Wolf and Lindsey Graham joined forces to introduce legislation which "would explicitly block this dangerous and wasteful trial from any domestic civilian court," Wolf said.
Webmaster's Commentary:
"Dangerous and wasteful"?!?
Dangerous for whom, and wasteful, in a country which is allegedly built on the principle of being a nation ruled by laws?
These men understand that the standards for proof toward a conviction are going to be far higher in a civilian court of law than they ever would be in a military tribunal.
Is it possible that some of these guys were just at the absolutely wrong place at the wrong time, were turned into American custody for a bounty, and were then tortured into confession, as was the case with Abdul Sheik Mohammed??
Of course, that is something these congressmen would never want the American people - or the world - to know.
That's why they're balking at any possibility of a civilian trial, which - if we actually believe in the American system of Justice - is what should be happening for every prisoner of war we are holding at Gitmo.

CLIMATEGATE: No apology from IPCC chief Rajendra Pachauri for glacier fallacy
Tags: SCIENCE/HEALTH/CLIMATE/NATURE
In an exclusive interview with the Guardian, Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said it would be hypocritical to apologise for the false claim that ­Himalayan glaciers could melt away by 2035, because he was not personally responsible for that part of the report. "You can't expect me to be personally responsible for every word in a 3,000 page report," he said.

If there is any indicator of the toll that the Great Recession has taken on the public, it would be the statistics beginning to emerge about hunger in the US.
According to a study from the nation's largest food bank operator, the number of Americans in need of food aid has jumped 46 percent in three years, including a 50 percent jump in the number of children needing food assistance, and a 64 percent increase in hunger in senior citizens' homes.

"Here is an idea for Barack Obama to salvage his tottering administration by taking a step that protects the United States and its allies," begins neoconservative scholar Daniel Pipes. "He needs a dramatic gesture to change the public perception of him as a light-weight, bumbling ideologue, preferably in an arena where the stakes are high, where he can take charge, and where he can trump expectations."
Any guesses?
"Such an opportunity does exist," Pipes writes. "Obama can give orders for the U.S. military to destroy Iran’s nuclear-weapon capacity."

Two analogies for everyone to understand how US wars in Iraq and Iran are unlawful

*hyperlinks and video live at source*
Laws are meant to be perfectly clear and followed; especially those to save human beings from the scourge of war. The UN Charter are those laws, fortified with treaty status that under the US Constitution puts the Charter equal in authority to US law. The problem is that when political “leadership” of both parties want war, and then engage their propaganda minions in corporate media disclosed in the 1975 Church Senate Committee as “Operation Mockingbird,” Americans can easily be dis-informed. After all, Americans witness few wars and not many of us study the UN Charter to clearly understand lawful and unlawful wars.

Deepening Debt Crisis: The Bernanke Reappointment: Be Afraid, Very Afraid
Tags: ECONOMY
The prospect is for U.S. consumers to be hit by a triple whammy. They must pay higher prices for the goods they buy as the dollar declines, making imports more expensive. And the government will be spending less on the economy’s circular flow as a result of Pres. Obama’s three-year spending freeze to slow the budget deficits. Meanwhile, states and cities are raising taxes to balance their own budgets as tax receipts fall. Consumes and indeed the entire economy must run more deeply into debt simply to break even (or else see living standards eroded).
All this will enrich the banks – as long as the debts can be paid. And if they can’t be paid, will the government bail them out all over again? Or will it “be different” this time around?

UN find challenges Israeli version of attack on civilian building in Gaza war

The UN mine action team, which handles ordnance disposal in Gaza, has told the Guardian that the remains of a 500-pound Mk82 aircraft-dropped bomb were found in the ruins of the mill last January. Photographs of the front half of the bomb have been obtained by the Guardian.
This evidence directly contradicts the finding of the Israeli report, which challenged allegations that the building was deliberately targeted and specifically stated there was no evidence of an air strike. Goldstone, however, used the account of the air strike as a sign that Israel's attack on the mill was not mere collateral damage, but precisely targeted and a possible war crime.

Iran, With Opposition Protests Continuing, Executes More Prisoners
Tags: IRAN
With the government’s opponents planning another large demonstration on Feb. 11, the country is bracing for another wave of executions. At least nine other prisoners have been charged with the capital crime of moharebeh, which means waging war against God.
The executions are clearly a sign of the government’s frustration to end the protests,” said Hadi Ghaemi, the executive director of the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, a group based in the United States. “There are fears that the government might engage in the kind of cleansing that it did between 1980 and 1988, when it executed more than 3,000 political prisoners.”
Webmaster's Commentary:
Any attack against Iran now will force the legitimate opposition to support a government it hates and wants to see change.
Unfortunately, just because this would be an absolutely bone-headed move on the part of the US and Israel is no guarantee that they won't engage Iran in a military attack very soon.

Webmaster's Commentary:
Memo to Israeli advisor Uzi Arad: just what country, sir, are you accusing of "...defying the world." on its nuclear program?!?
Here are the facts:
1. Iran is a signatory to the NNPT.
2. Every bit of the work they have been doing to build a power plant is perfectly legal, according to the terms and conditions of their NNPT membership.
3. The IAEA inspections have found no missing fissionable material, nor has uranium been enriched to the levels necessary for creating a weapon; only that necessary for creating a power plant.
4. Israel, on the other hand, does have a nuclear arsenal (as confirmed by both former Israeli Prime Minister Olmert and former US President Carter).
5. Israel refuses to become a signatory to the NNPT, and refuses IAEA inspections.
So, Uri Ara, who is really "defying the world" right now, in terms of its nuclear program?!? It sure as heck isn't Iran!

The Obama administration has unveiled a scary new view of the global security landscape and a new strategy intended to protect Americans and U.S. allies. It is a sharp change from previous Pentagon strategic assessments in that it focuses on the wars Americans are currently fighting, rather than on future conflicts in which the United States might be involved.
And that future, in the Pentagon's view, is quite grim.
The new assessment -- reflecting "a bracing dose of realism,'' said Defense Secretary Robert Gates -- promises no respite from today's conflict-wracked world, and no backing away from the billions of dollars for new hardware and new capabilities that the administration says it will take to stay safe.

A secret plan to foster an internal coup against Saddam Hussein was drawn up by the Government two years before the invasion of Iraq, The Independent can reveal.
Whitehall officials drafted the "contract with the Iraqi people" as a way of signalling to dissenters in Iraq that an overthrow of Saddam would be supported by Britain. It promised aid, oil contracts, debt cancellations and trade deals once the dictator had been removed. Tony Blair's team saw it as a way of creating regime change in Iraq even before the 9/11 attack on New York.
The document, headed "confidential UK/US eyes", was finalised on 11 June 2001 and approved by ministers.

An October 2009 discovery that suggests this may be true has been suppressed by the mainstream media but has been circulating among the “big money” brokers and financial kingpins. It is just now being revealed to the public.
http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/fort_knox_conundrum__208.html
...In October 2009, China reportedly received a large shipment of gold, containing some 6,000 bars, weighing 400 ounces each. When it was received, the Chinese government asked that tests be performed to guarantee the purity and weight of the gold bars. In this test, four small holes were drilled into the bars, and the metal was analyzed. Officials were shocked to find the bars were bogus. They contained cores of tungsten, with only an outer coating of real gold. What’s more, these gold bars, containing serial numbers for tracking, originated in the United States and had reportedly been stored in Fort Knox for years....

The Obama Brand: Feel Good While Overlords Loot the Treasury and Launch Imperial Wars
Tags: WHITE HOUSE
Barack Obama is a brand. And the Obama brand is designed to make us feel good about our government while corporate overlords loot the Treasury, armies of corporate lobbyists grease the palms of our elected officials, our corporate media diverts us with gossip and trivia, and our imperial wars expand in the Middle East. Brand Obama is about being happy consumers. We are entertained. We feel hopeful. We like our president. We believe he is like us. But like all branded products spun out from the manipulative world of corporate advertising, this product is duping us into doing and supporting a lot of things that are not in our interest.

Iran vs Israel: What The Media Wants You To Forget

Obama aide says Iran may lash out at Israel
Tags: COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS/PROPAGANDA IRAN
President Barack Obama's national security adviser is citing a heightened risk that Iran will respond to growing pressure over its nuclear program by stoking violence against Israel.
Webmaster's Commentary:
And why would Iran do such a stupid thing? Iran, which is trying to avoid a war, had not attacked anyone in 200 years. Any kind of strike on Israel would give Israel an excuse to destroy Iran from behind the safety of the US kids in Iraq and the fleet of taxpayer-funded warships now standing guard in the gulf region.
The US and Israel are about to attack yet another unoffensive nation, bringing us closer to a real World War, and these lies are intended to blame the victim.

WHAT THE HECK IS THIS STUFF?
Tags: IRAN
Now the target has shifted to Iran. And once again, we are being warned that Iran, while it does not actually have nuclear weapons, might be close to building one, and this justifies another invasion. The theory is that if Iran has a nuclear power station, they will build bombs with it. Iran hasn't planned to build bombs with it, and invites inspections (and now tourists) to prove that they are not making bombs, but the theory is that Iran will make bombs with their reactor and fool the inspectors, because, well, to be blunt about it, that's what Israel did at Dimona while they clandestinely built the world's 6th largest nuclear arsenal.

Relinked in light of the obvious propaganda run-up to the next invasion. Please forward this article to your favorite social networking site.

Yemen clashes continue, ceasefire offer rejected
Tags: MIDDLE EAST
Yemen rejected a ceasefire offer from Shi'ite rebels on Sunday and said fighting was continuing, as neighbouring Saudi Arabia accused the insurgents of mounting sniper attacks inside its territory. The conflict with the northern rebels, who complain of social, religious and economic discrimination in the southern Arabian state, has rumbled on since 2004, but intensified last year and drew in oil-rich Saudi Arabia.
Webmaster's Commentary:
This was a catastrophically bad decision on the part of the Yemeni government, and will only lead to increased fighting and, probably ultimately, a massive civil war.

The Terror Card: Fear is the Key to Obedience
Tags: COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS/PROPAGANDA
There are several factors that influence terrorism and they're all connected and manipulated to serve political purposes, in order for the elite to increase their wealth, power, and global domination. The key ingredient to take away people's money, long standing systemic privileges, and their natural rights such as freedom is for governments to snatch it in increments through what social psychologists call the inoculation effect. Per example, you don't take away people’s social security privileges overnight, instead you will surreptitiously do it in small doses by regularly and gradually reducing these benefits to nothing, while the herds become totally desensitized to the idea of losing it.

Could Vancouver 2010 be the next 9/11? (UPDATED 9:00AM EST 1-31-10)
Tags: COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS/PROPAGANDA
I now believe I have reasonable grounds to suspect there could be a “false flag” operation carried out somewhere in the Vancouver area during the Olympics in Canada. Yes, this is purely speculation, but I feel the mention of it is justified in the interest of our national security to keep an eye on potentially dangerous overlapping occurrences. The games will take place in Vancouver and Whistler from Feb. 12th until Feb. 28th. Below, I have compiled the following suspicious activity and coincidences by searching and analyzing the news from various media sources and by speaking with my own contacts.
Webmaster's Commentary:
The only way to stop a false-flag attack, either at the Olympics or the Superbowl, is to create a public climate in which the planners of suich a false-flag start to worry if the cover story will be believed.
Especially in the wake of 9-11, Saddam's "nooks", Climategate, swine-gate, etc. etc. etc. the US government has to understand that they have lost the faith and trust of the people. It is no longer a slam dunk that the American people will accept what the government tells them at face value. They have to wonder if they might not be believed the next time.
If we can shake their confidence, if we can make them doubt, they will have to call it off.

Robert Fisk: The tree-lined bunkers that could change the face of the Middle East
Tags: MIDDLE EAST
The newly resurfaced Lebanese roads near the border – courtesy of Hizbollah money – suggest that someone might want to move men at high speed towards the frontier. Perhaps even to cross the border.
Israeli army commanders are talking about this in the Israeli press. A fast, dramatic spring across the frontier to the west – in the direction of Naharia, perhaps, or a grab at the settlement of Kiryat Shmona – and Hizbollah would announce it had "liberated" part of historic "Palestine". Israel would have to bomb its own territory to get them out.
Webmaster's Commentary:
To the "adults in the room" in the halls of power in Tel Aviv and Beirut; this is absolutely the last thing the people of Israel or Lebanon need.

Scenarios: How could China hit back at U.S.?
Tags: CHINA
China has the world's biggest pile of foreign currency reserves, much of it held in U.S. treasury debt. China held $798.9 billion in U.S. Treasuries at end-October, displacing Japan in September 2008 as the largest foreign holder.
But China has shown no sign of trying to use that stake to punish the United States. Doing so, or even hinting that it could, would alarm global financial markets and push down the value of the dollar, thus dragging down the value of China's dollar-denominated assets.
Webmaster's Commentary:
However, China could potentially de-link its currency peg to the US dollar, which could cause an enormous world of hurt economically here.

US beefs up military presence off Iranian shores

US military officials told AP on condition of anonymity that Washington has taken silent steps to increase the capability of land-based Patriot missiles on the territory of some of its Arab allies in the Persian Gulf region.
Petraeus has repeatedly asserted in his recent public speeches that the refurbishment of Patriot missiles is directly linked to US plans about Iran.
This is while Iran is a signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and unlike some of its regional neighbors has opened its enrichment plants to UN inspection.

It is looking more and more like the idiots in Washington and Tel Aviv are going to look for any kind of excuse to begin a military confrontation against Iran.
Such a confrontation could rapidly devolve into World War III.

The 90-Minute Stand Down on 9/11: Why Was the Secret Service’s Early Request for Fighter Jets Ignored?
Shortly after the second World Trade Center tower was hit, at 9:03 a.m. on September 11, 2001, an officer at Andrews Air Force Base, just outside Washington, DC, was notified that the Secret Service wanted fighter jets launched over the nation’s capital. It was now obvious the U.S. was under terrorist attack, and Washington would have been an obvious potential target. And yet the Secret Service’s request came to nothing.

Yemen near crisis that will pose global threat, foreign ministers warn
Tags: MIDDLE EAST
Yemen faces a crisis that would threaten global security, foreign ministers from across the world warned yesterday as they met in London to pledge support for the country’s battle with al-Qaeda.
Mrs Clinton warned that in a digital age, radicalisation could take place anywhere. “The question ‘Where?’ in the 21st century may be somewhat beside the point,” she said. “Increasingly, we are having to face whether it’s the UK, the US or Yemen, threats coming from beyond our borders that cannot be pinned on any place.”
Webmaster's Commentary:
Hilary Clinton has a magnificent job of asking the absolutely wrong questions.
The question about radicalization is infinitely less about "where", than why.
Unless and until Western powers grab the members of Selah's government collectively by a very sensitive portion of the human anatomy, and demand that corruption mediated, strong> there can and will be no end to the radicalization going on here.
When people feel that they can get an education, work, earn decent wages, be comfortable, take care of their families, and that there is hope for their kids' futures, radicalization won't look attractive.
Unfortunately, every since Selah took power, the Yemeni government has presented just the opposite of the above-describe scenario to their people.
Very much as in Afghanistan, the answers here are not military; they are social, political, and economic.
The US, unfortunately, has not yet learned that there are some geopolitical problems which cannot be resolved with bombs and bullets.

Iran leaving 'little choice' but to toughen sanctions: Clinton
Tags: IRAN
Iran's nuclear stance is leaving major powers with "little choice but to apply further pressure" on the Islamic republic, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday.
"Iran has provided a continuous stream of threats to intensify its violation of international nuclear norms," Clinton told reporters in London where she attended a day-long international conference on Afghanistan.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Memo to Secretary of State Clinton; as an NNPT signatory, Iran has done everything by the IAEA book.
There have been absolutely no inspections which have found fissionable material missing, and no enrichment beyond what is necessary to build a power plant.
ISRAEL, on the other hand, (as validated by both former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, and former US President Jimmy Carter) does have nukes, and refuses to become a signatory to the the NNPT, and refuses to allow inspections at Dimona and beyond.
Secretary Clinton, why are you not addressing this issue?
If course, that's a colossally rhetorical question. Thinking people here in the US and world-wide understand that Israel has ordered to take out yet another of it's "existential enemies" (which, right now includes most of its neighbors in the region)!
You're simply "following orders", and dancing to your master's tune.
Unfortunately, however, the key of this tune is the jarring, horrific key of devastation, and the meter is an accelerating drumbeat of falsehoods and insinuations, setting the stage for a potential world war.

Senate permits gov't to borrow an additional $1.9T
Tags: ECONOMY
The Democratic-controlled Senate has muscled through a plan to allow the government to go a whopping $1.9 trillion deeper in debt.
The party-line 60-40 vote was successful only because Republican Sen.-elect Scott Brown has yet to be seated. Sixty votes were required to approve the increase. The measure would lift the debt ceiling to $14.3 trillion. That's about $45,000 for every American.
Webmaster's Commentary:

Obama State of the Union: Guns For the Pentagon, Butter For Wall Street, A Spending Freeze For You
Tags: ECONOMY
With the adoption of NAFTA under the previous Democratic president, the US government became a full partner in corporate America's drive to relocate its factories outside the U.S., first in low-wage Mexico, and now in lower-wage China. That caused a radical shrinkage of local tax revenues across the country at the same time that wages fell and joblessness rose. Corporate Democrats (and Republicans) had a solution for that too --- selling off public assets like highways, parking meters, water systems, public hospitals, even jails, government fleet management and payrolls, even birth and death records to the same investor class that caused the shrinkage by offshoring as much of the US industrial sector as they could.

One third of these are soldiers on the ground in and around Port-au-Prince, with the bulk of them from the 82nd Airborne Division, an elite unit that specializes in combat, not logistical support.
A French reporter asked why US troops were controlling flights into the Port-au-Prince airport. Preval replied: "You need to run the airport, you need technical help and they offered it to us. I really can’t understand why the need for that is so difficult to accept."
Preval also announced that Haitian legislative elections, previously scheduled for February 28, would be postponed indefinitely.

In the wake of the ‘International Holocaust Memorial Day’ I will say it loudly and openly. To oppose the Jewish state and Jewish nationalism is the true meaning of the memory of the Holocaust. To say NO to Israel is to say NO to racism. This is what ethics and universalism are all about.

Unfortunately, once people become emotionally invested in a position, it can be very difficult to provoke them into changing course. Liberals and progressives hailed the election of Obama as the most wondermous thing since sliced-bread. A year into his presidency, with a battlefield full of broken promises behind him and the insinuation of institutionalized corruption and illegal forced detentions stretching into the foreseeable future, many of those same liberals and progressives have fallen into an exasperated, listless complacency. They became emotionally invested in the “hope” engendered by Obama, and when the reality failed to live up to the myth, they were forced into cognitive dissonance, apathy, or synthesis.

Details of Iraq whistleblower’s alleged suicide to be sealed 70 years

By 2080, anyone with a direct interest in learning how Dr. David Kelly died, will themselves be dead.
That's how an Oxford coroner reacted to a recent ruling ordering the details of the former United Nations weapons inspector's death locked away for 70 years, according to a Mail Online report.
Kelly's story, however, was gravely important in 2003, just before he was found dead in the woods behind his home in Oxfordshire, U.K. As the BBC revealed in the wake of his passing, he had been the key source behind a story claiming intelligence on Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction was "sexed up."

WHAT’S REALLY HAPPENING IN OCCUPIED EAST JERUSALEM?
Tags: DICTATORSHIP ISRAEL
In the last few weeks, the neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah was featured in the headlines in Israel and abroad as a result of weekly demonstrations that take place in protest of the evacuation of Palestinian families from their homes and the entry of Jewish Israeli settlers into their homes. As a result of the hardlined policy that the Jerusalem police have taken towards the demonstrators and the arrest of dozens of them, a significant part of the public discourse about this matter revolves around freedom of expression and the severe harm to the right to demonstrate in a democratic state.

Why I consider myself a Libertarian
By: portos
Tags: EDUCATION
If you would have asked me three years ago what I thought about global warming, my response probably would have been that it’s real, all scientists agree, the oceans will rise, and we all need to do something to save the planet from the impending doom. Now my mind has been completely changed about global warming. Now, because I have actually read the writings of many experts on the other side, I know that global warming is nothing more than a money making scam and an attempted power grab by the global elite. Fortunately, because those Patriots have worked to get out the information that it is a scam, our view is just now starting to become mainstream. But this is the way it is with all truths.

He adds, "We have not yet conducted a comprehensive, interdisciplinary analysis of all our strategic options. Nor have we brought all the real-world variables to bear in testing the proposed counterinsurgency plan. …
"This strategic re-examination could either include or lead to high-level U.S. talks with the Afghans, the Pakistanis, the Saudis and other important regional players — including possibly Iran."
Extraordinary. Here is the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan bemoaning the fact that, as the President approaches his decision on a large troop increase, there has still been no comprehensive analysis of the wider issues that remain "unaddressed" in McChrystal’s proposal.

None of this happened in the southern badlands of Afghanistan where the Taliban are exacting a seemingly relentless death toll from mostly US and UK forces, but in Bala Murghab, in Badghis province in the far north-west.
A backwater in the war in Afghanistan, nine miles south of the border of Turkmenistan, it has been neglected for years by both Nato and the Afghan government. But it is places like Bala Murghab, in a supposedly more secure corner of the country, that expose the immense difficulties the country has ahead of it in building self-reliant ­security forces and persuading a new breed of increasingly competent Taliban fighters to lay down their arms.

This is a dire moment for democracy, and it requires a renewal of one of America's oldest understandings: that a free people can govern themselves only if they have access to independent information about the issues of the day and the excesses of the powerful, and that it is the duty of government to guarantee both the promise and the reality of a free press.

Taliban: Buyout Futile Without Foreign Pullout
Tags: AFGHANISTAN
The Taliban statement condemned the measure as a “trick” designed to divide the force, and said that offers of reconciliation were futile without a withdrawal of foreign troops. The Taliban’s suspicions are actually in keeping with some official comments from British and American officials, who have said that the measure is indeed about “weakening” the Taliban’s leadership by bribing off its support. Others however maintain the deal is about getting the Taliban on board to rebuild the war torn nation.

Pak bid to push India out of Kabul

Pakistan has revived an eight-country grouping to counter US pressure for giving India a greater role in war-torn Afghanistan's
reconstruction, according to a media report on Tuesday.
Following an initiative spearheaded by Islamabad, Afghanistan's neighbours met in Turkey seeking a "single voice" before a London conference to set a timetable for handing security over to Afghans and find ways to negotiate peace with the Taliban.
"The aim of the meeting is to find a single voice in the region to take to the London conference," said a western diplomat attending the gathering in Istanbul on Tuesday. "The aim is to help Afghanistan stand on its own feet in the medium and long-term."
Webmaster's Commentary:
Until the corruption in government is a thing of the past in Afghanistan, there is no clear way to move this agenda forward.
Unfortunately, right now, all the aid the West may pledge will simply go into the pockets of governmental officials, without ever reaching the people it was intended to help.

Pennsylvania Capital Should Weigh Bankruptcy, Controller Says
Tags: ECONOMY
- Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the capital of the sixth-largest U.S. state by population, should skip a $2.2 million debt service payment due Feb. 1 and consider bankruptcy, City Controller Dan Miller said.
Harrisburg faces $68 million in payments this year in connection with a waste-to-energy incinerator and should weigh Chapter 9 protection from creditors or state oversight through a program known as Act 47, Miller said today. Chapter 9 bankruptcy allows municipalities to reorganize rather than liquidate.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Obama may have said in his state of the Union speech that he "feels more hopeful than ever," but the average working people in this country are surely not feeling hopeful at this time.
Particularly the citizens of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

The Israeli government is reported to have quietly approved the fast-track immigration of 7,000 members of a supposedly “lost Jewish” tribe, known as the Bnei Menashe, currently living in a remote area of India.
Under the plan, the “lost Jews” would be brought to Israel over the next two years by right-wing and religious organisations who, critics are concerned, will seek to place them in West Bank settlements in a bid to foil Israel’s partial agreement to a temporary freeze of settlement growth.

The Real Reason Hemp is Illegal
Tags: HIDDEN HISTORY POLITICS/ELECTIONS/CORRUPTION SCIENCE/HEALTH/CLIMATE/NATURE
William Randolph Hearst (Citizen Kane) and the Hearst Paper Manufacturing Division of Kimberly Clark owned vast acreage of timberlands. The Hearst Company supplied most paper products. Patty Hearst's grandfather, a destroyer of nature for his own personal profit, stood to lose billions because of hemp.
In 1937, Dupont patented the processes to make plastics from oil and coal. Dupont's Annual Report urged stockholders to invest in its new petrochemical division. Synthetics such as plastics, cellophane, celluloid, methanol, nylon, rayon, Dacron, etc., could now be made from oil. Natural hemp industrialization would have ruined over 80% of Dupont's business.

US businesses urge Obama to resist Iran sanctions bill
Tags: IRAN
US business groups warned the White House on Tuesday that congressional plans to expand US sanctions on Iran threaten to significantly undermine US economic and security interests.
The proposed sanctions would incite economic, diplomatic, and legal conflicts with US allies and could frustrate joint action against Iran," the US Chamber of Commerce and other business groups said in a letter to top White House officials.
Webmaster's Commentary:
What these organizations are saying is completely logical.
But impending uni/multilateral sanctions by the US and other counties has nothing to do with logic, and everything to do with setting the stage geopolitically for the next world war.

Agha: Israel created Gaza valley flood to cause environmental disaster
Tags: ISRAEL
Palestinian minister of agriculture Dr. Ramadan Agha, said Wednesday that the flooding in Gaza valley was deliberately created by Israel in order to cause an environmental catastrophe and destroy the agricultural life in the areas of the valley, Johr Al-Deek and AL-Maghraqa.
During a symposium on Gaza valley flood organized by the ministry, Dr. Agha noted that Israel used to dump chemical waste in the eastern side of the valley and when it opened the floodgates of one of its dams, all this is swept throughout the flooded areas leading to the contamination of soil and water.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Israel's "final solution" for Gazan Palestinians comes in a number of horrific forms, and this dumping of contaminated water is just one of them.

Worse, Obama's giving ol' Capt. Ben a second chance to pilot into new icebergs dead ahead. The Economist calls them "asset bubbles." Problem? Capt. Ben can't see through his ideological Greenspan/Reaganomics goggles, clouded by his obsessive allegiance to Wall Street's "fat cat bankers."

The launch tomorrow of Apple's new iPad, or iSlate, the all-singing, all-dancing gizmo that's expected to change computing forever, has led many people to claim that we're finally catching up with the visions of the future laid out in science-fiction.
Yet the shameful truth is that the modern world has been a letdown. If you grew up in the 1950s, by 2010 you would have expected to see bases on the moon and a robot in every house. As recently as the 1980s, we were told to expect flying cars and hoverboards by now. And what do we have? Touchscreen mobile phones and Wikipedia. It's not what we signed up for.

ONCE global warming was the "great moral challenge of our generation". Or so claimed the Prime Minister.
But suddenly it's the great con that's falling to bits around Kevin Rudd's ears.
Here are just the top 10 new signs that catastrophic man-made warming may be just another beat-up, like swine flu, SARS, and the Y2K bug.

Patriot Missile Deployment Is Against Russia - Lavrov
Tags: RUSSIA
Poland is giving the impression that it is strengthening its defences directly against Russia, says Moscow's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov.
The comment comes after reports this week that Poland is to situate US Patriot missiles 100 kilometers from the border with Kaliningrad, Russia. The Kremlin is seeking full information on the announcement, said the Russian foreign minister.
Webmaster's Commentary:
It is apparent that there are elements in the US government just slobbering all over themselves in the potential of bringing back the cold war.

ISRAEL: PLEASE, NO MORE BIN LADEN TAPES, NOBODY IS BUYING IT!
Tags: COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS/PROPAGANDA ISRAEL
A further abuse, of course, is not only that we are no longer seeing the easily debunked bin Laden doubles whose video tapes were “mysteriously” released by SITE Intelligence, the Rita Katz/Israeli group that seems to find them in trash bins behind delicatessens. The “new” audio tape itself contains statements claiming credit for 9/11 in direct contradiction to the real bin Laden videos, the only ones authenticated. If you wondered why the FBI doesn’t list Osama bin Laden as a suspect in 9/11, I think you have your answer. If they think the bin Laden “admissions” aren’t credibile, I wonder who the FBI is investigating or if they have simply been told to mind their own business.

Zionism: The Dead End of the Oppressor Review of Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews
By: Saladin

That the morality of Zionism is challengeable was keenly illustrated by an exchange between Hart and erstwhile Israeli prime minister Golda Meir. Hart queried Meir on-air: “You are saying that if ever Israel was in danger of being defeated on the battlefield, it would be prepared to take the region and even the whole world down with it?”
Meir’s prompt response: “Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying.”

Pak tunnels near border worry government
Tags: PAKISTAN / INDIA
According to Indian officials, Pakistan in the past has used Sargodha to store M-11 missiles which had been delivered unassembled to it by China. However, the pace at which these tunnels are coming up suggests that, as the official put it, Pakistan is up to something. Sargodha is also the place which the Chinese are said to regularly visit to train the Pakistanis in handling weapons and missiles.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Note that this is not sourced, as to from whom this intel has allegedly come.
But a memo to the the adults in the halls of power in New Delhi and Islamabad: with all the challenges both countries are facing, the last thing either country needs now is a shooting war.

How To End Corporate Domination Of Government - And Our Lives
By: jo-ann F.
Tags: CORPORATE MEDIA
original post by Dave Johnson
The Supreme Court yesterday allowed corporate executives to tap into their company's resources and use that money to directly influence elections instead of for the profitable operation of the company. This use of company funds isn't considered bribery because the company executives can claim they are only engaged is "speech" to promote good government, not influence public officials to bring a return to the company.
To fix this we should pass a law that tightens up corporate governance and explicitly spells out - as law - that for-profit companies can only use company resources for the profitable operation of the company. This would make it illegal to use company money to "promote good government" or any other excuse currently used to get around the bribery laws. If by law executives can't use the company's money except for activities that return a profit, then use of this money in politics can't be just "speech" -- it is to return a profit. Therefore the federal bribery of public officials statute would apply to any use of corporate resources to elect candidates:
18 U.S.C. § 201 : US Code - Section 201: Bribery of public officials and witnesses
(b) Whoever -
(1) directly or indirectly, corruptly gives, offers or promises anything of value to any public official or person who has been selected to be a public official, or offers or promises any public official or any person who has been selected to be a public official to give anything of value to any other person or
entity, with intent -
(A) to influence any official act; ...
shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than two years, or both.

The Merchants of Fear:Israel Profiting From America’s Homeland Insecurity
Tags: COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS/PROPAGANDA ISRAEL
In the wake of the weird Christmas Day “underwear bomber” incident on Northwest Flight 253, former Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff, as if on cue, was all over the mainstream media touting whole-body scanners as the answer to America’s airline security problems. Since leaving public office in 2009, Chertoff had co-founded the Chertoff Group, a security and risk-management firm whose clients include a manufacturer of body-imaging screening machines. While some in the media noted this rather commonplace conflict of interest, ignored by all was a far more significant abuse of the American public’s trust.

Climategate: CRU Was But the Tip of the Iceberg

Tags: COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS/PROPAGANDA SCIENCE/HEALTH/CLIMATE/NATURE
Not surprisingly, the blatant corruption exposed at Britain’s premiere climate institute was not contained within the nation’s borders. Just months after the Climategate scandal broke, a new study has uncovered compelling evidence that our government’s principal climate centers have also been manipulating worldwide temperature data in order to fraudulently advance the global warming political agenda.
Not only does the preliminary report [PDF] indict a broader network of conspirators, but it also challenges the very mechanism by which global temperatures are measured, published, and historically ranked.

The deputy foreign minister demanded that the UN examine thoroughly the claims that Hezbollah is training and arming itself with modern weapon systems. He asked that the next UN report on Lebanon mention this incident, as well as other serious cases in which Hezbollah weapons were discovered in the country.

A year has gone by since Sen. Barack Obama assumed the presidency, replacing George W. Bush, who was among the worst chief executives in American history.
The election of an African American to the White House is an historically positive development. And his first year in office has shown his superiority to Bush and his defeated opponent, rightist Sen. John McCain, in several areas.
At the same time, in terms of foreign/military policy, President Obama has essentially continued many of the Bush Administration's initiatives first and foremost his predecessor's "global war on terrorism," but in other international endeavors as well.

CLIMATEGATE - Scientists using selective temperature data, skeptics say
Tags: CORPORATE MEDIA COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS/PROPAGANDA POLITICS/ELECTIONS/CORRUPTION SCIENCE/HEALTH/CLIMATE/NATURE
Two months after “climategate” cast doubt on some of the science behind global warming, new questions are being raised about the reliability of a key temperature database, used by the United Nations and climate change scientists as proof of recent planetary warming.
Two American researchers allege that U.S. government scientists have skewed global temperature trends by ignoring readings from thousands of local weather stations around the world, particularly those in colder altitudes and more northerly latitudes, such as Canada.

The Terrorism Conundrum
Tags: 911 COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS/PROPAGANDA
In the wake of 9/11, almost anything the US government did was accepted uncritically by the public. The Patriot Act was quickly passed, abridging the freedoms that Americans had enjoyed for more than two hundred years with barely a whimper from Congress and the media. George W. Bush declared war on the world, defining his security doctrine as the right of the United States to act preemptively anywhere and at any time against any nation that the White House perceived to be a threat. Bush also declared his global war on terror, committing his administration to intervene using military and intelligence resources wherever his definition of terrorists was to be found.

Why Is The US Military Occupying Four Airports In Haiti?
By: PoliticalTheatrics
Tags: WHITE HOUSE
The United States is now operating at four airports to ferry aid and relief supplies to quake-devastated Haiti, a senior US military commander said Thursday.
In addition to the Caribbean nation's main port of entry, Port-au-Prince airport, US forces were also now at work at airports in the coastal city of Jacmel.
They were also operating in the neighboring Dominican Republic at San Isidro and Barahona, US Southern Command chief General Douglas Fraser said.
Around 11,000 US military personnel are currently controlling the operations both on the ground and offshore aboard US Navy and Coast Guard vessels, and another 4,000 US troops are expected to arrive in the coming days.

SCOTUS ruling = Powell Memo goal = Fall of democracy...
Tags: DICTATORSHIP
In short, the Powell Memo outlined an attack on our nation by corporations which championed fascism over democracy. You can read the whole memo at the above link.
SCOTUS has now ruled that corporations can actively alter elections via funding, undermining the very nature of the democratic process. Corporations have moved closer to a formal merger with government. This is called fascism by definition.

Iceland to hold referendum on international debt repayments
Tags: ECONOMY
Late last year, the Icelandic parliament narrowly passed the so-called IceSave bill, which would provide a state guarantee to meet the onerous terms of the agreement, which is designed to repay London and The Hague for compensating hundreds of thousands of British and Dutch citizens who lost savings during the collapse of Iceland’s national bank, Landsbanki.
On January 5 President Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson refused to sign the bill into law, triggering a constitutional mandate that the bill be subjected to a national referendum. In the event the electorate votes down the bill, which looks likely according to the latest polls, the legislation will not come into effect.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Note the use of the word "onerous."
That has a specific meaning in international law. And it means that a people cannot be held liable for debts incurred by the government which were not for the benefit of the people.
Like money spent on Iraq.
Like money spent on Afghanistan.
Like money spent on Somalia.
Like money spent on Yemen.
Like money spent on TV Cameras on every corner.
Like money spent on reading our emails.
Like money spent on invading our computers.
Like money spent on Naked Body scanners.
Like money spent on Wall Street Bailouts.

Are We in Haiti because of Oil?
Tags: CURRENT EVENTS
Once I observed the mass-murder posse of Team Obama, Bush and Clinton begin circling the wagons and the rapid US militarization of Port au Prince, including the occupation of the Presidential Palace, to the tune of now almost 10,000 US boots on the ground, I began to get suspicious. Call me crazy. I know of the sad history of Haiti imposed upon the tiny former slave nation by one imperial power after the next. But when I see 10,000 American soldiers descend upon a nation in less than a week, my radar flies into the red zone.

The number of US troops deploying to Haiti is now 20,000.

Obama authorizes covert economic war against Venezuela
Tags: COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS/PROPAGANDA SOUTH AMERICA
WMR’s intelligence sources have reported that the Obama administration has authorized an economic war against Venezuela in order to destabilize the government of President Hugo Chavez.
After a successful coup against Chavez ally, President Manuel Zelaya of Honduras, and the very thin 51-49 percent electoral win by Chile’s billionaire right-winger Sebastian Pinera on January 17, a buoyed Obama White House has given a green light for political operatives in Venezuela, many of whom operate under the cover of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), to set the stage for massive street demonstrations to protest Chavez’s devaluation of the bolivar, Venezuela’s currency.

“Accepting Various Truths”
Tags: CORPORATE MEDIA ISRAEL MIDDLE EAST PALESTINE
No one in the Obama administration is going to acknowledge that our foreign policy in the Middle East has alienated many Arabs.
The U.S. pro-Israel policy and our shocking neglect of the beleaguered Palestinians underlie almost every initiative or tactical tilt that comes out of Washington.President Obama and his predecessors in the White House have scored domestic political points by embracing this world view. This is one vantage point that is truly bipartisan, to the point where no one discusses it.
Michael Scheuer, a former CIA specialist on the al-Qaida terrorists, complained on C-SPAN recently that any debate about American support for Israel is “normally squelched.”
“For anyone to say our support for Israel doesn’t hurt us is to just defy reality,” he added.

Is The U.S. Economy Being Tanked By Mistake or By Intent?
Tags: ECONOMY
Americans cannot see the economy as the elites do. The elites have lenses into the future. They have access to information that foretells the future of our economy. They can see a better picture of when mounting debt will rise beyond the ability to repay.

They certainly can see pension funds, private and public, are under-funded and there is no way, with Baby Boomers now entering their retirement years, these obligations can be met. Medicare expenses are totally out of control with enrollees able to rack up bills in the tens of thousands of dollars beyond what they ever paid into the system.

The last official act of any government is to loot the nation.

The Secret Bank Bailout
Tags: ECONOMY
Once the Fed and Treasury started shoveling money in every possible way they could think of to the elite banks, the word came down to Fed traders to "ease up" on the mark ups and down. Let the banks take a "healthy" mark up and mark down, they were told. I'm advised that the "healthy" mark ups and mark downs have resulted in the Fed overpaying on their trades with primary dealers to the tune of billions. These billions are looking like profitable skilled trades, when they are nothing of the kind. They are hidden gifts from the Federal Reserve that are generally unseen, unknown and will never be paid back.

This talk on local public TV after the 2006 mid-term elections is very pertinent now since despite the White House and both houses being controlled by Democrats, nothing has been done to stop the illegal wars, investigate 9-11 honestly, end the FED, investigate the corporate control of voting machines and the hacking of the 2004 Presidential election.
