Craig Roberts: US Pushing for Nuclear War; ‘Leadership’ Treasonous for Duping
US into Wars By Paul Herman, LA County Examiner,
February 26, 2010 “The morons in Washington
are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American
hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies
and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome.” LC Editor’s Comment: The truth is
that the leadership of the U.S. no longer rests in the hands of our elected
officials in Washington, ninety-five percent of them who have been bought and
sold to the highest bidder. Rather it
rests in the hands of the Wall Street bankers and the City of London (the
British banking center) bankers. These people, far from being morons, are very intelligent and
are systematically carrying out the economic destruction of the world’s
nations, focusing specifically on the U.S., which must fail financially,
spiritually and physically, becoming a third world nation if their goal of a
world run by and for them is to emerge from the ruins. One quick way to bring
down America is to have it engage in a nuclear war. Wake up, Americans, before it is too late, a nuclear was is upon
us and you find yourselves living under bridges, sending your wives and
daughters out to work the streets as prostitutes because you have no other
means of bringing in enough money to live in the cheapest apartment, and our
children are taken from you from you from CPS workers ready to have their way
with them. If you are one of the Americans who has awakened, it’s time now
for you to help awake your still slumbering family members, friends, and
associates from their stupors. I’ve
found the best way to do that is to have them view Alex Jones’ Fall of the Republic,
which may be viewed as high-quality streaming video at YouTube. Go for it! Other Vital News Head of IMF

TEXT=> LC
Editor’s Comment: The key words in the White House document authorizing extra
judicial assassinations are “believed to be”. What authorization does is to give the President or some White House official appointed by
the President, the right to make a judgement as to whether or not some
American citizen is engaged, or had been engaged, in what the administration
regards as terrorist activity. It
also gives that assistant the authority to have that citizen assassinated by
a member or members of an appropriate U.S. military or intelligence
organization. That citizen need
not have been beforehand arrested, charged with a crime, arraigned,
indicted by a grand jury, put on trial, found guilty as charge, and sentenced
to be executed. That is, this
Presidential order violates the due process clause of the Fifth
Amendment to the United States Constitution. As such it is necessarily an illegal order and it is also
unconstitutional, but President Obama nor, before him, President Bush could
have cared less about that, each choosing instead to set aside the rule of
Constitution based law and impose his own law, the edict of a dictator. Domestic

February 23, 2010 Alex's short take on debra medina doing a flip flop on the 9/11 issue
just days after saying that people had the right to question their

played the audio from a recent Dallas, Texas based talk show interview in
which Debra Medina, the Tea Party’s candidate for the govenorship of Texas,
called 911-Truthers “despicable” for even suggesting that 911 might have been
an inside job, that is, a false flag operation. Jones pointed out dring his show on Tuesday at that her apparently new
viewpoint constitutes a reversal from her previous public stand on this
issue, which was that Americans have a right to question the positions taken
by government officials, especially when they make claims that are
unsupported by fact. The official U.S. government position on 9/11 is that it was planned and
directed by Osama bin Laden and executed by fewer than two dozen radical
Muslims, whose objective was to show their hate for American freedom. Washington

Israel Shielded by US from World Criticism for Four Decades! From
identity theft to war crimes – is there anything the Israelis won't do? By Jason
Raimondo, Antiwar.com, February 19, 2010 When is the world going to finally decide Israel
has gone too far – and do something about it? When Israel invaded and
retained the occupied territories, imposing a regime that resembles the old South
African apartheid system,
the world looked the other way – after all, beleaguered Israel was fighting
for its survival, and, besides that, peace talks were underway. The daily
grinding down of the Palestinians could be accepted as a temporary and even
necessary evil as long as there was some sort of vague expiration date
attached to the arrangement. FULL ARTICLE=> The US Cast the First of 29 Security Council Vetoes to
Shield Israel By Donald Neff, Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, September/October
1993 The United States cast its first veto
in the United Nations Security Council in 1970, during the presidency of
Richard Nixon, when Henry Kissinger was the national security adviser. It was
an historic moment, since up to that time Washington had been able to score
heavy propaganda points because of the Soviet Union's profligate use of its
veto. The first U.S. veto in history was a gesture of support for Britain,
which was under Security Council pressure to end the white minority
government in southern Rhodesia. Two years later, however, on Sept. 10,
1972, the United States employed its veto for the second time—to shield
Israel.' That veto, as it turned out, signalled the start of a
cynical policy to use the U.S. veto repeatedly to shield Israel from
international criticism, censure and sanctions. FULL ARTICLE=> By Donald Neff, Washington Rerport on Middle East Affairs,
May/June 2005 Prior to the Nixon administration, the
United States had never employed its veto power in the U.N. Security Council.
It was first used March 17, 1970 over Southern Rhodesia. The second U.S. veto
came two years later, when Washington sought to protect Israel from a
resolution condemning Israel for one of its attacks on its neighbors. Since
then, the United States has cast its veto a total of 39 times to shield
Israel from Security Council draft resolutions that condemned, deplored,
denounced, demanded, affirmed, endorsed, called on and urged Israel to obey
the world body. NOTE: List of 39 specific vetoes cast by the U.S. to

Makers and Government Officials A
Straight Look at the Jewish Lobby By Mark Weber, Institute for Historical Review For
many years Israel has violated well established precepts of international law
and has defied numerous United Nations resolutions in its occupation of
conquered lands, in extra-judicial killings, and in its repeated acts of
military aggression. Most
of the world regards Israel’s policies, and especially its oppression of Palestinians,
as illegal and outrageous. This international consensus is reflected, for
example, in numerous UN resolutions condemning Israel, which have been
approved with overwhelming majorities.
“The whole world,“ said United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan,
“is demanding that Israel withdraw [from occupied Palestinian territories]. I
don’t think the whole world... can be wrong.” Only
in the United States do politicians and the media still fervently support
Israel and defend its policies. For many years the US has provided Israel
with crucial military, diplomatic and financial backing, including more than
$3 billion each year in aid. Why
is the US such a staunch bastion of support for Israel? FULL ARTICLE=> The
Israel Lobby - Review By John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, London Review of Books, March 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? FULL ARTICLE=> Dual Israel-American Citizens Who Hold or

to Swab Airline Passengers' Hands in Search for Explosives By Jeanne Meserve and
Mike M. Ahlers, CNN, February 17, 2010 To the list of instructions you hear at airport checkpoints, add this:
"Put your palms forward, please."
The Transportation Security Administration soon will begin randomly
swabbing passengers' hands at checkpoints and airport gates to test them for
traces of explosives. FULL
ARTICLE=> LC Editor’s Comment: And just how conclusive will the test result be? What TSA is planning to do here is use
what is essentially the equivalent of
chemical spot tests to detect explosives residue on the hands of passengers
planning to board airliners if they successfully pass this screening test. Spot tests, and so these tests, tend to be
prone to yielding false positive indications. A lot more reliable means for TSA to look for explosive residue would be
to have dogs trained to sniff out explosives sniff the hands of passengers
while they are are on the TSA inspection lines. But that would just be too simple and too inexpensive! Government bureaucrats need to spend money needlessly for feel useful.
Subjecting passengers to swab tests will require purchase of new equipment
needed to test the swabs for presence of explosive material and the hiring of
additional TSA agents to carry out the swabbing of hand and swab evaluation
tasks. So swabbing is an ideal
solution in the minds of bureaucrats! The bureaucracy grows day by day, doesn’t it, and day by day more and
more government lackies seek to harass us in the name of either our safety or
the need for law and order. How
similar are our lives now to what they would have been had we been living in
the Colonies at the time Thomas Jefferson penned the draft of our Declaration
of Independence. Here is a
particularly germain quote from that document: “He (King George III) has
erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to
harass our people and eat out their substance.” It’s time to boycott the airlines, folks. This, done for a long
enough time, will slash their revenue and profits and eventually put them out
of business. Drive, take a bus or a train, bike or ride a horse when you need
to travel, but let’s focus and shutting down the airlines and hurting the

Dominance By Eric Sommer, Global Research,
February 17, 2010 The U.S.-sponsored drive to impose new

proliferation of nuclear weapons on the planet. It is directly linked to the
U.S. military doctrine of establishing 'full spectrum dominance' - i.e.,
military dominance on land, sea, air, and outer space over all other
countries in the world. The logical extension of this doctrine is that only
countries firmly allied to the U.S. government should be allowed to acquire
nuclear weapons or to even develop the capacity to do so. FULL ARTICLE=> LC Editor’s Comments: Regarding the U.S. and it intention to

created by the heat blanketing effect of man-made emissions of carbon dioxide
and other carbon-based gases, which prevents the heat generated by the Sun’s
illuminating of the Sun of Earth’s surface from radiating back into space. Furthermore, they are certain that the
resulting average global surface temperature increases some researchers have

ARTICLE=> The
Israel Lobby - Review By John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, London Review of Books,
March 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? Wake Up America! Now Should be Payback

ARTICLE=> LC Editor’s Comment: After experiencing two
very distasteful TSA body checks by agents on a round trip flight between
Austin, TX and Las Vegas aboard a major US airline in August 2003, I gave up
flying as a passenger on commercial airlines. Who needs to be treated by a TSA agent like an inmate would be
treated during a lockdown inspection at a high risk Federal prison? Not I!
And that should be your response to that question also if the regime
has not thoroughly domesticated you. If it is not, then wake up!
Whenever you allow yourself to be subjected to any body inspection – be it
with wands or imaging equipment – you are telling the President of the United
State, whoever it is at the time, who authorizes these inspections, you are
consenting to being treated this way by one of his agents. Should you choose to be
gone over by the TSA inspectors anyway, it is vital that you ask yourself
these two questions before you step forward to be checked over over: “Am I really willing to turn
my body -- and the bodies of my spouse and children if they are traveling
with me -- over to the control of government agents who will do whatever they
choose to do to assure themselves that the nebulous passenger check-in
inspection requirements have been met?” “Am I really willing to do
this just to qualify to board a cramped jetliner to take a trip somewhere,
during which flight I will be fed grade D food laden with high fructose corn
syrup, a major contributor to obesity, because prepared food loaded with the
sugar and ordered around like little kids by glorified coffee shop
waitresses, many of them with attitudes?” Uncomfortable now? You should be if you couldn’t simply blurt
out “No!” to both questions. Enough
government control is enough! However, our rebellion against the fascist
regime we live under need not be violent nor need it violate the law. In the
case of choosing not to fly scheduled airliners, the boarding of which
requires the passengers undergo TSA inspection, we get the job of gumming up
the corporate greed works and TSA system done by having the flying public in
mass just refuse to fly, period! Become a trendsetter for
your fellow American patriots and the public in general: Just don’t volunteer
to be a passenger on a scheduled airline flight if there is any possible way
you can avoid doing so. Weekend, February

Backpeddles but Know that Global Carbonists will Not! By Jonathan Petr, The Mail, February 14, 2010 The academic at the centre of the

that globalists nonetheless are determined to have carbon tax collected
anyway. In fact, even prior to the
Copenhagen conference, the globalists had gotten to carbon taxation ball
rolling at the city and state level in the U.S. For example, the city of Boulder
Colorado in 2007 imposed a carbon tax on elecric power consumption and
this is just one case of many in which local juridictions have been

familiar with anyway. Judson Phillips held it down and Sarah Palin drove a stake right through its heart live last night on
C-Span in front of an unsuspecting audience. Sarah Palin didn’t give a tea party speech last

there to celebrate the organic nature of a movement she had nothing to do
with creating. She was there to co-opt the name and claim the brand as hers.

LC Editor’s Comments: I had one heck of a time trying to
download this story off Infowars.com, its origin site, but downloads of all
other stories from that site went well.
How odd. When I tried PrisonPlanet.com
I was able to download it immediately. Nimmo is a staff writer for Alex Jones’ Infowars.com, a really
excellent researcher and a lucid news and opinion writer. He did a bang up job this feature story;
one that must have caused Palin campaign team promoters to wince upon reading
it. Could it be that sweet Sara has some professional hackers on her
team to just to help out by giving web news readers a hard time when they try
to download stories that might show the guv – who claimed (falsely) during a
television interview she
could see mainland Russia from the backyard of her home in Alaska – in an
unkind light? Oh, no! Politicians never play dirty tricks,
right? If you are a gun buff and experienced shooter, you will remember
that Sarah claims to be an expert hunter and rifleman. Therefore, one would expect her as a
matter of training and habit to observe gun safety rules and proper handling
of any rifle in her hands at all times, even when she steps in front of a
camera to have a posed photo taken for the press. Well, let’s see how well
she did in this photo shoot. Check
out photo above showing Sarah holding an M-16 in ready position. You will notice that she has the barrel of the rifle pointed
toward the camera and, therefore, toward the photographer who presumably took
this picture, a safety no-no. Also,
you will also see that Sarah has her index finger on the trigger, rather than
resting above the trigger guard and on the receiver, that is, outside the
trigger guard. That’s another no-no.
If by accident a live round had been left in the chamber and had not
been spotted because she had failed to check the chamber of rifle after she
was handed the M-16 to make sure it was empty and somehow she inadvertent
pull the trigger this could have caused the rifle to fire, killing or
wounding the photographer. Notice, finally, that the plane containing Sarah right upper
arm, elbow and forearm lay in the plane that’s nearly parallel to her side,
which is the way most brand new rifle shooters position their trigger arm
when they take aim. However, that
plane must be perpendicular to the shooter’s side if he is to consistently
make accurate shots. These safety, especially, and handling rules are not trivial
matters. Experience gunners do them
essentially reflexively. The cardinal
safety rule is to always assume that a gun is loaded and act accordingly. People die when an inexperienced gunner
fails to observe these safety rules and so end up shooting others
accidentally. “I didn’t know the gun
was loaded” is never a good excuse for accidentally wounding or killing
another person by pointing an assumed unloaded” at him and pulling the
trigger. Sarah, if she is an expert gunner as she claims, should have
known better than to ignore gun safety when she was holding and pointing that
M-16 and posing for a photograph. Thursday-Friday, February 4-5

The

The cost of the ever-growing CIA drone strikes against Pakistan in particular
remains a closely guarded secret.
FULL ARTICLE=> LC Editor’s Comment: Obama
continues to spend the taxpayers’ money as if he has all the money in the
world at his disposal to spend.
However, it is not on job creation, which is sorely needed now real
unemployment pushes 22 percent not the government’s unrealistic figure of
less than half that. Instead
he spends the money on expanding and sustaining U.S. initiated wars in
Afghanistan and Pakistan and on unspecified anti-terrorism projects. His spending has become so reckless and
unlimited that as Americans who are footing the bill need to ask themselves
if Obama has sold out to the global elitist bankers, whose vision for the
United States is bankruptcy, which would facilitate incorporating America
into a world nation governed by them.
Or
might they rightly conclude that Obama is both headstrong and incompetent in
fiscal and economic matters and refuses to take advice in these
disciplines. Or might they conclude
that Obama is so obsessed with winning the two unwinnable wars U.S. started
in the Middle East and Central Asia that this is all that counts for him in
his presidency. The latter, of
course, would mean Americans would be faced with the decision to have him
removed from office for reasons of incompetence or even mental illness. Big Drops in All Markets –

watch the birdie, young lady, this won’t hurt a bit – Now, you make sure to
raise your arms over your head so we can see what you got, will you? She shakes her head up and down in
acknowledgement and closes the booth door behind her. The woman does what she is instructed to do, raising her
arms overhead, as the agent walks over to the inspection console. Once there, he peers into its screen,
which shows in high definition and in color a stunning view of the women. She appears to be perfectly naked. Smiling to himself, he shakes his head
from side to side and says in a whisper to the other two males inspectors
beside him, “Wow!” Then the other two
men step up to the viewing screen and gaze, standing motionless, for a full
ten seconds at the image of the woman standing apparently naked before them
on viewer. Then all three men look at each other, smile and shake
their heads slowly from side to side and then move into a huddle, their heads
down. One of the TSA me and one of
the comes up with, “Wow, I got a hard on, do you?” Whereupon, the shorter of
the other two agents replies, “Man, is the Pope Catholic?” and they all burst
into muffled laughter. Finally, the lead inspector, turning to the other two
inspectors, winks at them and speaks into microphone connected to the inspection
booth. Smiling, he says, “Would you
mind just lowering your hands and putting them on your pelvic area and kind
of rubbing just a bit? We need that to get a good picture. Thanks!” The husband, hearing the request, shouts out, “No, you
can’t make my wife do that!” lurching forward and grabbing the lead inspector
by his left forearm. “Stop”, he
shouts, “Stop, you can’t do that”, to which point dumpy, fat female inspector
rushes over from the neighboring inspection line and with a sardonic smile on
her face replies to the husband sourly, “Says who, Mister?” adding, “We got
strict orders to make perfect pictures of the people in the machine. You got a problem with that? ‘Smatter, you a terrorist?” Within minutes three terminal police officers, one male
and two female, arrive at the TSA station and arrest the man and wife,
charging them with suspected terrorism and resisting arrest. Then one of the two female officer bends
over beside the two children, who are crying and obviously very frightened,
smiles in a kindly, nourishing way and says in a near whisper, “Now, now, a
nice lady from Child Protective Services will be here is just a few minutes
to take you to the children’s shelter.
It’s warm and friendly there and there is plenty to eat and you can
play computer games there too. Tell
me, are your parents always this mean to you?” And that’s the end of a story to illustrate what people
who intend to board scheduled airline planes and U.S. might be faced with.
Tell me, my readers, is this the kind of treatment by TSA personnel you, your
spouse and your children will be willing to put up with at air terminal just
for the dubious privilege of being allowed to board airliners once Mr.
