Obama Issues Executive Order Mandating ‘Lifestyle Behavior Modification’

Nanny State Liberation Front, June 13, 2010

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is fond of saying, “You don’t ever want a crisis to go to waste; it’s an opportunity to do important things that you would otherwise avoid.” Well, the Obama Administration certainly has not let the British Petroleum (BP) Deepwater Horizon oil rig crisis go to waste, using it as a smokescreen to silently assault and further diminish American citizens’ personal freedom.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

Obama To Use BP Oil Spill As An Opportunity To Push His Economy Killing Climate Change Bill

The Economic Collapse Blog, June 13, 2010

Never one to to allow a "good crisis" to go to waste, Barack Obama is pledging to use the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico as an opportunity to push the U.S. Congress to pass his controversial climate bill.  In fact, during a recent interview Obama directly compared the current crisis in the Gulf to 9/11, and indicated that he believed that it would fundamentally change the way that we all look at energy issues from now on.  But the truth is that Obama's climate bill is the same economy killing legislation that it was before the BP oil spill.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

US “Discovers” Nearly $1 Trillion In Mineral Deposits In Afghanistan

Tyler Durden, Zero Hedge, June 13, 2010

And there are those who wonder why the US has spent countless dollars and thousands of dead soldiers protecting a few desolate mountain passes in Afghanistan. And no, it turns out it is not just the opium trade. The NYT reports that "The United States has discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan, far beyond any previously known reserves and enough to fundamentally alter the Afghan economy and perhaps the Afghan war itself, according to senior American government officials."  FULL ARTICLE=>

May Levels of Toxic Gases in Gulf Back Up Claim Made by Lindsey Williams

Appearing on the Alex Jones Show earlier in the week, pastor Lindsey Williams said that gases — Hydrogen Sulfide, Benzene, Methylene Chloride, and other toxic gases — pose a greater risk to human health than the presence of oil washing up on Gulf of Mexico beaches. Williams said the EPA is not reporting on the amount of gases escaping from the BP oil gusher.

The Spill, The Scandal and the President

The inside story on how Obama failed to crack down on the corruption of the Bush years --- and let the world’s most dangerous oil company get away with murder

Tim Dickinson, Rolling Stone, June 12, 2010

The White House press office organized a show of overwhelming force, with Gibbs convening Browner, Napolitano, Deputy Interior Secretary David Hayes, EPA chief Lisa Jackson and Coast Guard Rear Adm. Sally Brice-O'Hara for a single press conference on April 29th. Though clearly meant to signal engagement, the all-star crew didn't have their message straight. When Brice-O'Hara praised "the professionalism of our partner, BP," Napolitano quickly barked, "They are not our partner! They are not our partner!" For her part, Napolitano revealed that she didn't know whether the Defense Department possessed any assets that could help contain the spill, and referred vaguely to "whatever methodologies" BP was using to seal the well.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

LC Editor’s Comments:  This article is eight pages long and well worth the read.  Once again, the American people need to get it that neither the government – especially the federal government --- nor oil industry should be trusted to be protectors of our environment.  Remember that politicians always observer the Golden Rule, which states “Whoever holds the most gold rules”

 

Please pass this story on to everyone on your list and urge him or her to read it and take the appropriate action, which at the very least is to do the same --- pass it on. 

 

Don’t let that voice that may play in your head all too often, which says, “Oh well, politicians are corrupt…we know that! What’s the point of trying to change anything?  What’s the point of raising Hell, spreading this news story, promoting it for all its worth and then getting on the horn to your members of Congress and reading them the riot act if they intend to continue to support Obama’s administration in its criminal inaction in the wake of this environmental tragedy! What’s the use?”

 

The short answer to all of these questions is this --- Ignore the voice that urges inaction, passivity and instead take massive action.  We live only once, placed here to make a positive difference in the lives of others, not to be bottom feeders! Go for it!  Your actions may pi—off the establishment and even your family members, friends, associates and neighbors.  So what?  Go for it!

 

Joe Biden: In Israel's Service  

Jeffrey Blankfort, CounterPunch.org, June 11-13, 2010

Israel appears to be in more serious trouble diplomatically than at any time in its history following the botched attack by an “elite” commando squad on the Mavi Marmara in the early morning hours of June 1 that left at least nine dead and scores wounded.  Thanks to Al-Jazeera and Iran’s PressTV, whose reporters were aboard the ship, much of the world was able to watch the attack unfold on its TV and computer screens and the result has been an avalanche of outrage and ongoing protests against the Jewish state.  Within Israel this has led to finger-pointing and calls for resignations while its hasbara machinery has gone rapidly into damage-control and disinformation mode.  FULL ARTICLE=>

The Israel Lobby  

John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, London Review of Books, March 23, 2006

For the past several decades, and especially since the Six-Day War in 1967, the centrepiece of US Middle Eastern policy has been its relationship with Israel. The combination of unwavering support for Israel and the related effort to spread ‘democracy’ throughout the region has inflamed Arab and Islamic opinion and jeopardised not only US security but that of much of the rest of the world. This situation has no equal in American political history.

 

Why has the US been willing to set aside its own security and that of many of its allies in order to advance the interests of another state? One might assume that the bond between the two countries was based on shared strategic interests or compelling moral imperatives, but neither explanation can account for the remarkable level of material and diplomatic support that the US provides.   FULL ARTICLE=>

True Torah Jews Against Zionism

Theodor Herzl (1860-1904), the founder of modern Zionism, recognized that anti-Semitism would further his cause, the creation of a separate state for Jews. To solve the Jewish Question, he maintained “we must, above all, make it an international political issue.”  Herzl wrote that Zionism offered the world a welcome “final solution of the Jewish question.”  In his “Diaries”, page 19, Herzl stated “Anti-Semites will become our surest friends, anti-Semitic countries our allies.”  FULL ARTICLE=>

Evidence Points To BP Oil Spill False Flag* 

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones

Prisonplanet.com, June 8, 2010

 

*A false flag event is a “self-inflicted” wound --- A shocking, tragic and damaging attack inflicted upon a nation and its people that had been secretly authorized by the head of state for the purpose of political gain and/or to justify his decision to have his nation go to war with the country he asserts pulled off the attack.  All evidence points to the conclusion, for example, that 911 was a false flag event authorized by the U.S. government for the purpose of its going to war in Afghanistan, then Iraq and now Pakistan and reaping the benefits of conducting these wars. – Ron Larsen, Liberty Calling’s Publisher and Editor.

Oath Keepers Proves That There WERE Troops Who Refused to Confiscate Guns During Katrina

We know that wholesale gun confiscation happened during Hurricane Katrina. We watched the Chief of Police of New Orleans declare on national television that “no one [no private citizen] will be able to be armed, we’re going to take all the weapons.” We watched an old lady being tackled in her own kitchen and disarmed.

 

In fact, that atrocious event was one of the reasons I started Oath Keepers. But I also knew, from my service as an Army paratrooper, that there are men and women of courage, honor, and integrity in the military who would refuse to obey such orders. My goal with Oath Keepers is simply to increase their numbers and harden their resolve. But when it came to Katrina, we did not have concrete proof that some said no – until now.  FULL ARTICLE AND VIDEO=>

The Federal Fat Police: Bill Would Require Government to Track Body Mass of American Children

Penny Starr, Senior Staff Writer, CNS News Online, May 13

 

A bill introduced this month in Congress would put the federal and state governments in the business of tracking how fat, or skinny, American children are.

 

LC Editor’s Comments: The truth is that people of all ages have grown fatter, that is, their body mass indices have increased substantially, over the past twenty-five years.  Even the body masses of infants and young babies have skyrocket since the mid-1980s.  In fact medical clinicians and their researcher brethren report that obesity is rampant is the six-month old child population.

 

The chief culprit, according to Dr. Robert Lustig, M.D., Professor of Medicine at the Medical School of the University of California at San Diego, is high fructose corn syrup. Soft drink and prepared foods began initially introducing HFCS into their products early in the time period as a low-cost replacement for dextrose, or common table sugar.  But what they soon discovered was that people who consumed foods and beverages made with HFCS consumed greater quantities of them than those products made using dextrose as a sweetener.

 

Part of reason is that HFCS has a far sweeter taste than does table sugar.  But the main reason is that HFCS when consumed turns off those biochemical mechanisms in the human body that would normally cause people to experience the feeling of having had enough to drink and eat during meals.  Without these mechanisms in place, simply continue to take in more of foods and beverages made with HFCS than those made with dextrose as sweeteners.     

 

To learn more, LC readers are encouraged to view Dr. Lustig’s lecture titled Sugar: The Better Truth, which is available for viewing online free as a streaming video.  Lustig runs a clinic whose clients are obese children who want bring their weights to normal levels.  He reports in his lecture that by eliminating their consumption of fructose containing beverages and foods from their diets, substantially reducing table sugar consumption and increasing their levels of physical activity, he has been able to eliminate obesity in these children. 

 

That is, Dr. Lustig apparently has been successful in discoving a primary cause of the current worldwide obesity epidemic and a simple, workable way to effectively treat obesity.  This amounts to reducing body mass ratios to normal levels in children.

US Posts 19th Straight Monthly Budget Deficit

Reuters, May 12, 2010

 

The United States posted an $82.69 billion deficit in April, nearly four times the $20.91 billion shortfall registered in April 2009 and the largest on record for that month, the Treasury Department said on Wednesday.  It was more than twice the $40-billion deficit that Wall Street economists surveyed by Reuters had forecast and was striking since April marks the filing deadline for individual income taxes that are the main source of government revenue.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

Watered Down Audit the Fed Bill Passes, Ron Paul Says Senator Sanders is a Sell Out

Mac Slavo, SHTF Plan, May 12, 2010

 

Ron Paul regarding the Senate Audit the Fed bill:

 

Bernie Sanders has sold out and sided with Chris Dodd to gut Audit the Fed in the Senate. His “compromise” is what the Adminstration and banking interests want: they’ll allow the TARP and TALF to be audited, but no transparency of the FOMC, discount window operations or agreement with foreign central banks. We need to take aciton and stop this!

 

I am outraged. The Senate just voted down the Vitter Amendment and against a real audit of the Federal Reserve. My entire team and I are going to work very hard to make sure the American people know who voted right, and who voted with the banking special interests.

Kagan Argued for Government 'Redistribution of Speech'

Matt Cover, CNS.com, May 12, 2010

 

Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan said the high court should be focused on ferreting out improper governmental motives when deciding First Amendment cases, arguing that the government’s reasons for restricting free speech were what mattered most and not necessarily the effect of those restrictions on speech.

 

LC Editor’s Comment:  What??  The government will always provide a plausible explanation for restricting free speech and then arresting, convicting and incarcerating persons for practicing free speech if it decides to do so.  I believe Adolph Hitler would have been proud of Ms Kagan had she been a judge in his Nazi Germany’s courts! 

 

20 Signs That The United States Is Rapidly Becoming A Totalitarian Big Brother Police State

The End of the World Blog, May 11, 2010

 

Once upon a time, the United States was a land of unparalleled freedom.  The rest of the world envied the freedom that ordinary Americans had to think, say and do what they wanted. 

 

But all of that has changed.  Now Americans have to fear that they will be tackled by a squad of security goons and dragged off to a detention facility somewhere if they spill a Pepsi on a flight attendant or take a few too many pictures of a public building. 

 

The United States used to be the polar opposite of totalitarian regimes like Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, but now America is rapidly becoming very much like them. 

 

Due to the fear of a boogeyman living in a cave somewhere or some guy with explosive powder in his underwear we are all being forced to give up our freedoms and learn to live in a Big Brother police state.  FULL ARTICLE=>

Gulf of Mexico worst Case Scenarios-- Coming Fast with Possible Terrorist Tie-in


This is a horror story which will become so much worse, it will become the dominant news story for the forseeable future. It includes Haliburton, the release of unprecedented geologic forces and a potential world wide catastrophe, not only ecologically, but much more, especially if the river of oil spewing from the deepwater, hyperpressurized sea-floor opening reaches the gulf stream, which will quickly spread it all the way up the east coast and beyond, possibly even to Europe.  FULL ARTICLE=>

 

BP Spends Millions Lobbying as it Drills Ever Deeper & the Environment Pays

By Antonia Juhasz, OpEd News, May 1, 2010

While the explosion of BP Transocean's Deepwater Horizon drilling rig was a horrific event, it was neither surprising nor unexpected. 

 

BP is one of the most powerful corporations operating in the United States. Its 2009 revenues of $327 bn are enough to rank BP as the third-largest corporation in the country. It spends aggressively to influence US policy and regulatory oversight. 

 

In 2009, the company spent nearly $16m on lobbying the federal government, ranking it among the 20 highest spenders that year, and shattering its own previous record of $10.4m set in 2008. In 2008, it also spent more than $530,000 on federal elections, placing it among the oil industry's top 10 political spenders.  FULL ARTICLE=>

Gulf Oil Rig Fiasco: It’s About Scarcity and World Government

Kurt Nimmo , Infowars.com, May 1, 2010

 

A second oil rig has overturned on the Gulf coast. It is not being widely reported. The Wall Street Journal’s MarketWatch reports:

 

The U.S. Coast Guard said Friday it is responding to a second oil-rig accident. A “mobile inland drilling unit” with a 20,000-gallon diesel fuel capacity overturned in the Charenton navigational channel south of U.S. Highway 90 near Morgan City, La. No fuel leak or injuries have been reported but 500 feet of containment boom has been deployed around the rig, the Coast Guard said.

 

On Friday, radio talk show host and former Reagan cabinet advisor Mark Levin accused the Obama administration of a plot to nationalize the oil industry. “I think those SWAT teams are there in coordination with the attorney general’s office, the Interior Department, Homeland Security, maybe the EPA….to seize records at these sites and to lay the foundation for more government takeover,” said Levin.

 

Obama said on Thursday he was dispatching SWAT teams to inspect oil rigs in the Gulf, a response that struck many observers as odd.

 

This is a public relations stunt designed to make Americans think the federal government is responding to the disaster. In fact, the government has no intention of doing anything significant. Obama’s response if purely cosmetic and for public consumption.

 

Levin and many Republicans think Obama is a Marxist and wants a Soviet-like centralized economy. Obama, however, is not surrounded by textbook Marxists who want a revolution in the name of the proles. He is surrounded by bankers and monopoly men. The Obama administration is a creature of the CFR, Trilateral Commission, the Federal Reserve, and Wall Street banks, not the Comintern.

 

Oil rigs are being attacked in order to shut down oil production, not nationalize it. The name of the game is artificial scarcity designed to further cripple the economy.

 

On Friday, Obama promised that no new offshore oil drilling leases will be issued unless rigs have new safeguards to prevent a repeat of the explosion that unleashed the massive spill threatening the Gulf Coast, according to the Associated Press.

 

The number of structures in the Gulf is roughly 4,000, with 819 manned platforms. How long do you think it will take an ossified federal government to install these safeguards?

 

As Lindsey Williams has noted, the global elite are manipulating oil in order to create a world-wide economic depression. “America will see a financial collapse so great that it will take years to come out of it,” Williams told Alex Jones on November 21, 2008.

 

“Publicly available CFR and Club of Rome strategy manuals from 30 years ago say that a global government needs to control the world population through neo-feudalism by creating artificial scarcity,” Steve Watson, Alex Jones and Paul Watson wrote in 2005. “Now that the social architects have de-industrialized the United States, they are going to blame our economic disintegration on lack of energy supplies.”

 

“Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?” asked Maurice Strong, the founder of the UN Environment Program, during his opening speech at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992.

 

During an interview conducted in 1972, Strong talked about the concept of zero growth put forward by the Club of Rome in the late 1960s which called for the control of population and economic growth. The Club of Rome is a neo-Malthusian organization with interlocking membership with the European banking elite such as the Committee of 300 and the Bilderberg Group.

 

“Federal authorities have shut down two offshore platforms and evacuated one of them near a massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico,” reports the Associated Press today. “The Coast Guard said Saturday that the shutdowns were a safety precaution.”

 

More offshore platforms will likely be shut down in the days ahead.

 

Meanwhile, members of Congress are calling for expanded oil exploration plans to be dropped. “I’ve said to the White House, ‘Don’t you dare think about your five-year plans [for offshore oil leases] … We’re just not going to let you,’” said Florida Sen. Bill Nelson on Friday. “Nelson said the state’s multibillion-dollar tourist industry and fisheries shouldn’t be imperiled for oil’s sake. He said the spill may ultimately serve as a lesson that the country needs to develop cleaner energy sources,” reports The Florida Times-Union.

 

As if on cue, the Soros foundation MoveOn has called on its members to telephone the White House and demand that Obama reinstate the ban on offshore oil drilling. “The MoveOn campaign is just one of a series of pleas from lawmakers and environmental groups for the administration to reverse its policy in the wake of the explosion and spill,” reports The Washington Post.

 

The explosion and massive oil spill will be used to make sure artificial oil scarcity continues. The ultimate goal is not clean energy or so-called energy independence but delivering the once great United States into the maw of the bankers who are determined to consolidate power and convert the world into a sprawling high-tech prison planet.

 

LC Editor’s Comment:  Bravo, Kurt Nimmo!  Kurt’s information and analysis are right on the money.  

 

By the way, Obama is not and never really has been a socialist or Marxist – for real!  He’s been with the people who have the money and all the real power in this world, the international bankers, including the Wall Street and City of London cabal!  Look it up!  They are out to destroy the last bastion of liberty on the planet, the U.S., and do it economically.  

 

What better way to accomplish this than by turning the oil spigot way, way down for a long, long time.  That will drive up the price of gasoline and diesel fuel at the pump and the cost of virtually every product made that’s manufactured using crude oil. 

 

Who wins? Big Oil!  Take a look at the financial reports of the Big Oil consortium companies.  Their profits are now sky-high and climbing.  Just wait until the crude oil supply crunch hits!  Disaster! 

 

And you reply, “No sweat!  This is a good excuse to go convert to ‘green energy’…windmill, solar and so on!”  In ten years perhaps the green energy technology may have enough capacity to supply the needs of 30 million people, which was the population of the U.S. during the mid-nineteen century, that is around the time of the War of Northern Aggression, also known as the American Civil War.

 

Thirty million people?  How interesting!  The eugenicists and their elitist, world banker friends have it as their goal the reduction of the world’s population – and so presumably the U.S. population, now at 300 million ---by 90 percent, which would the America’s population at about thirty million!  Fascinating, but a pure coincidence, I’m sure. Aren’t you?  Check out the Georgia Guidestones.

We Ignore War Crimes at Our Own Risk

By Ric Fisk*, Antiwar.com, April 12, 2010

When one sees an obviously grotesque action by the agents of one’s government and speaks out about it, one can count on being immediately labeled with whatever epithet is convenient to prevent any scrutiny of the state’s activities. 

 

On Monday, April 5, 2010, WikiLeaks published a classified Apache helicopter gunsite video of a shooting incident in which two Reuters reporters and several unarmed civilians were killed. The shooting occurred in 2007.

 

Shortly after the reporters were killed, the military claimed it had no knowledge of how it had happened or how two children in a car being used to bring survivors to safety were injured. Reuters attempted to get the video via FOIA requests, which were denied for “national security” reasons. WikiLeaks somehow obtained a copy of this video through one of its sources. The Army has put WikiLeaks on its personal enemies list and calls it a “threat to national security.” While the video is extremely disturbing, the people at WikiLeaks have done the American people a great service.

 

The video makes it clear that the military blatantly lied about facts and evidence it possessed even when it was claiming it had none. It opens with a shot of eight to 10 men (alleged by a voice on the tape to be 40 men) casually walking along a neighborhood street in Baghdad, Iraq.  FULL ARTICLE=>

Whistleblowers on US Chopper ‘Massacre’ of 8 Unarmed Iraqi Civilians, 2 Reuters Photographers and Several Rescue Van Workers Fear CIA Stalkers

By Matthew Campbell, The Sunday Times, April 11, 2010

Activists behind a website dedicated to revealing secret documents have complained of harassment by police and intelligence services as they prepare to release a video showing an American attack in which 97 civilians were killed in Afghanistan.

 

Julian Assange, one of the founders of Wikileaks, has claimed that a restaurant where the group met in Reykjavic, the capital of Iceland, came under surveillance in March and one of the group’s volunteers was detained for 21 hours by police.

 

Assange, an Australian, says he was followed on a flight from Reykjavik to Copenhagen by two American agents. The group has riled governments by publishing documents leaked by whistleblowers.

 

Last week it released the cockpit recording from an American Apache helicopter as it killed Iraqi civilians, including a Reuters photographer, in Baghdad in 2007.  FULL ARTICLE=>

Murder.com

by Becky Akers, Lew Rockwell.com, April 10, 2010

 

Listen to the drums beating the Dead March as the American Empire chugs into totalitarianism’s next terminus: execution of citizens without trial.

 

"The Obama administration has taken the extraordinary step of authorizing the targeted killing of an American citizen," the New York Times reports. And yes, those are cheers you hear over the drums, erupting from the same neocons* who applauded torture and Gitmo. That’s because the intended victim is "the radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki…who was born in New Mexico and spent years in the United States as an imam" but who is now "hiding in Yemen."

 

* (To learn about the core beliefs of neocons from an educator who is an expert on the neocon movement, read Saving America: Leo strouse and the Neoconservatives by Shadia B. Drury.)

 

"Extraordinary," indeed. Once upon a time we required a trial; in fact, the Constitution still does. The State must present and prove its charges to an "impartial jury" before it takes a man’s life. True, politicians and bureaucrats often rig those trials, while cops and prosecutors tamper with evidence, but what else would we expect from government? Yet Leviathan now dispenses with that pretense, too, as it has with search warrants, habeas corpus, presumption of innocence, motive, and other such quaint necessities.

 

Even the Times, which leads the pack of "mainstream" (sic for "considerably to the left of Pravda") media in its animosity to liberty, is appalled enough to quote anonymous "officials" who admit that this is "extremely rare, if not unprecedented."

 

What has our fellow-citizen done to merit such attention? The Feds allege a great many foul deeds, though I’m hard-pressed to find one that threatens us nearly as much as the average Congressional act. Our Rulers "[believe]" Anwar is now "participating directly" in attacks on Americans rather than simply "encouraging" them. They’ve "linked" him to bad guys like the Underwear Bomber and the Ft. Hood Shooter. "Counterterrorism officials" who, curiously enough, battle those inept bad guys instead of the horrifically successful ones in Congress, claim he’s a member of al Qaeda.

 

"‘Awlaki is a proven threat,’ a US official told Reuters news agency" – just not in court. Far be it from the Feds to convict their suspect at trial, however easy it would be given Anwar’s patronage of prostitutes and a system that punishes vice as crime. No, we’re simply supposed to trust Our Rulers. After all, paranoid nuts who add motherly doctoral students from Stanford University, famous singers, and 4-year-old boys to their silly blacklists couldn’t possibly make another mistake, could they?

 

For all his sleaze, Anwar eschews the secrecy our supposedly open government craves. He’s outspoken and honest about why he left his native country. "I lived in the U.S. for 21 years," he says on a tape CNN "obtained" but could not "authenticate" last month. "America was my home. I was a preacher of Islam involved in non-violent Islamic activism. However with the American invasion of Iraq and continued U.S. aggression against Muslims, I could not reconcile between living in the U.S. and being a Muslim."

 

Anwar isn’t the only "terrorist" to sing this song. Indeed, it’s become the usual refrain. Over and over, Moslems that the Feds dismiss as terrorists blame American foreign policy for reactions the Feds dismiss as extremism. "Any state that does not mess with our security, has naturally guaranteed its own security," Osama himself advised us in 2004. "…We fought you because we are free ... and want to regain freedom for our nation. As you undermine our security we undermine yours…While I was looking at these destroyed towers in Lebanon [during the Israeli invasion American busybodies encouraged in 1982], it sparked in my mind that the tyrant should be punished with the same and that we should destroy towers in America, so that it tastes what we taste and would be deterred from killing our children and women…God knows that it had not occurred to our mind to attack the towers, but after our patience ran out and we saw the injustice and inflexibility of the American-Israeli alliance toward our people in Palestine and Lebanon, this came to my mind."

 

You might think the sense of this so self-evident that even the Feds would listen. After all, lex talionis, tit-for-tat, what-goes-around-comes-around has reigned internationally for millennia; that’s one reason George Washington recommended "extending our commercial relations" with "foreign nations" while forming "as little political connection as possible." Attack a country by outright invasion (even when euphemized as "liberation") or by meddling in its affairs, and sooner or later, its residents will defend themselves. Nevertheless, Our Rulers play checkers with the Middle East, manipulating peoples, governments, and whole countries to satisfy American politicians, special interests, or corporations.

 

DC’s thugs will see us all die in more 9/11’s rather than admit their culpability and cease their anti-Constitutional forays overseas. That’s because ending the War on Terror would cancel all those lucrative, cozy contracts belligerent bureaucracies from the Pentagon to the Transportation Security Administration hand out; "targeting" Anwar instead funnels billions of our taxes into corporations’ coffers and from thence to politicians’ campaign chests. No wonder yet another nameless "official" sniffed to the New York Times, "The United States works, exactly as the American people expect, to overcome threats to their security, and this individual – through his own actions – has become one. … None of this should surprise anyone." Especially those who understand corporatism and the transformation of a republic into a fascist empire.

Meanwhile, there’s this from Rep[ulsive] Jane Harman (D-Israel – whoops, I mean CA), neoconservative chair of "a House subcommittee on homeland security": Anwar is "probably the person, the terrorist, who would be terrorist No. 1 in terms of threat against us."

Don’t you hate false modesty?

Iran’s Nukes: More Misleading News from Fox

Fox News currently has an article at the top of its website that is headlined:  ”CIA: Iran Moving Closer to Nuclear Weapon.”  The report, by DOD and State Department correspondent Justin Fishel, begins with this alarming claim:

 

 A recently published report by the Central Intelligence Agency says Iran is still working on building a nuclear weapon despite some technical setbacks and international resistance — and the Pentagon say it’s still concerned about Iran’s ambitions.”

 

But, as blogger George Maschke notes, that statement is categorically false.  The actual report, to which the Fox article links and which the DNI was required by Congress to submit, says no such thing.

Globalist Perry Wins Texas Primary

By Kurt Nimmo, PrisonPlanet.com, March 3, 2010

Reuters describes Perry as a “conservative” with “strong anti-Washington rhetoric” in a report this morning on his primary win for the Texas governorship. “We’re taking our country back — one vote at a time, one election at a time,” he said. Perry beat fellow globalist Kay Bailey Hutchinson and constitutionalist Debra Medina. Perry will face former Houston Mayor Bill White in the November general election. White beat Houston businessman Farouk Shami in the Democratic primary.

 

Rick Perry has masqueraded as a proponent of states’ rights while pushing through the NAFTA superhighway and the globalist agenda. Perry attended the 2007 Bilderberg meeting in Istanbul, Turkey. “Texas Governor Rick Perry is amongst the attendees at this year’s secretive Bilderberg Group meeting in Istanbul Turkey, but his visit could be a violation of the Logan Act, a 1799 law that criminalizes unauthorized U.S. citizens from negotiating with foreign governments,” Paul Joseph Watson wrote on May 31, 2007.  FULL ARTICLE=>

Is The Recovery Real? The US Economy is Set for a “Double-Dip” Recession

By Paul Craig Roberts, Global Research, March 3, 2010

Happy news! The government has come up with a 5.9 percent GDP growth rate in the fourth quarter of 2009. The recession is over.  Or is it? Statistician John Williams has informed us that 69 percent of this growth, or 4.1 percentage points, is the result of inventory accumulation. That leaves a 1.8 percent growth rate, and the 1.8 percent is likely due to the underestimate of inflation and other statistical problems.

The Federal Reserve’s own monetary evidence contradicts the recovery assurances from Fed chairman Ben Bernanke. The Federal Reserve continues to pour massive reserves into the banks. The monetary base, which consists of currency in circulation and bank reserves (the basis for new loans), has surged from $850 billion in 2009 to $2.2 trillion on February 24.

Despite this potential for massive new money creation, the broadest measure of money growth is still contracting.The banks are too impaired and so are consumers for the banks to create new money by making loans.  The economy, in other words, is going nowhere.  FULL ARTICLE=>
