Marie Colvin: Is a false narrative being created to justify an attack on Syria?

pennyforyourthoughts2 - Wed, 02/22/2012 - 10:49
Update at bottom

I have been following along with the reported death of the journalist Marie Colvin in Homs for the past couple of hours. I find some huge, huge problems with the story.
Early this am, the narrative was that a video was released by the "oppostion" really terrorists in Homs.The claim that this journalist was killed by the Syrian military originated with them.
And just prior to her alleged death, she gave some very interesting interviews making some very
spurious claims.
My gut tells me that something is off on this whole story. Like Jessica Lynch. Or the Saddam statue being pulled down. Or Pat Tillman. We should all understand that false narratives can easily be created then morph through the media into something “pivotal”.
So here are my issues with this whole story

First: this narrative has entirely originated with the “opposition”
For nearly a year, covering the Syrian destabilization, the words emanating from the “oppostion” have almost always been far from fact . Far from fact!

Here is the video released by the activists that got this whole ball rolling




They claim those are the reporters.... ?????


Second: I have never heard of this woman, ever before.
I have covered a lot of the same news that she has. And never came across her reporting. How on earth is that possible? Until today, had anyone else recalled seeing her in Egypt, most recently? With the more then 100 posts on Syria, I am absolutely flummoxed, that her "reporting” had not crossed my path of sleuthing.

Third:
This morning I looked at her Wikipedia page. There was almost nothing there. As of this time 10:00 am est it has gotten bigger. But, I want you to pay attention to when this page was created? Everything on it is from today. February 22/2012
Yet, We are told she was a journalist for two decades, it is reported she won prestigious awards in 2010 and 2000 and 2001. Yet wikipedia had nothing on her, until today.. Marie Colvin had never been on Wikipedia prior to today? As celebrated as we are being told she was?
From the page as it is right now

Awards

2000: Journalist of the Year: Foreign Press Association.
2000: Courage in Journalism: International Women's Media Foundation.
2001: Foreign Reporter of the Year:British Press Awards
2010:Foreign Reporter of the Year:British Press Awards (second award).

Am I the only one that finds it odd a so called “prestigious” foreign correspondent, never garnered a previous mention on Wikipedia?

Fourth: Marie Colvin is supposed to be an American, working for the British press and yet it was the French government who confirmed her death? But even that early reporting is disappearing.
French Minister: French journalist killed in Syria was the original headline to this news story

In the body of the story the info is still present

In Paris, French government spokeswoman Valerie Pecresse said those killed were French photojournalist Remi Ochlik and American veteran war reporter Marie Colvin

Fifth: I see a number of stories around that report the deaths of the journalists CANNOT be confirmed.
A Syrian activists said two foreign journalists were killed Wednesday by Syrian government forces shelling the restive central city of Homs. The report could not be immediately confirmed.

Another story-
News International, which publishes The Times and The Sunday Times, was working to confirm reports of Colvin's death. News International is part of News Corp., which also owns NewsCore.

NewsCorp- She worked for Rupert Murdoch! That says a lot. If the deaths are unconfirmed why is the media reporting them as fact? Wouldn't this be difficult for the families?

Sixth:
Curiously just a few hours before her death, she managed to give an interview to CNN?
Her story is picked up all over the place. Then she was killed.
In the interview she tells the world how she witnessed the death of a baby.
I am going to quote from the interview

Anderson Cooper: Do we know how the child died? How he was wounded?

Marie Colvin: We know there's been constant shelling in the city, so I have to say, it's just one of many stories. His house was hit by a shell. He -- another member of his family -- it's chaos here, but another member of his family arrived later, but after he had died, and said the house had been -- the second floor -- had been hit. This little boy, obviously it was just one piece of shrapnel that caught him right in the chest.

Notice anything odd about that answer?
She doesn’t know how the child died. She assumes it was the “constant shelling”
But she doesn’t know. Then she talks about another member of the family arriving after the baby died and telling her the house had been hit. Why does she not mention the family members who were actually present at the time this was supposed to have taken place? Where are they? How are they? No mention of that.
Later she mentions the “Free Syrian Army” is on the streets and armed. How can she be so sure it was not one of them or there armaments that hit the house? She can’t be sure.

Just hours after she makes this heroic report of a baby dying. She dies in an alleged bombardment by the Syrian Army. As we are told by the activists?

But that wasn’t the only report prior to her death
Seven-
Syrian forces had pledged to kill 'any journalist who set foot on Syrian soil'
Syrian forces murdered journalist Marie Colvin after pledging to kill "any journalist who set foot on Syrian soil", it has emerged.
Wow, had they really? Had they “pledged to kill journalists”? I wonder who heard them make such a pledge?

Jean-Pierre Perrin, a journalist for the Paris-based Liberation newspaper who was with Colvin in Homs last week, claimed they had been told that the Syrian Army was "deliberately" going to shell their centre.
Well, no that is not actually what was said.."A few days ago we were advised to leave the city urgently and we were told: 'If they (the Syrian Army) find you they will kill you'.

No mention of just who relayed this message to them! Who advised them? Who told them?
This kind of stuff bugs me. Always has, always will. It should bug anyone with a brain!

So just after we get a report of a baby dying and pledges to kill journalists, Marie Colvin a supposed ‘celebrated’ journalist gets killed.

Sorry , but, this ain’t sitting right with me. Feel free to disagree or agree. This narrative is not sitting right with me. It however creates a handy pretext to justify military action in Syria. The creation of a no-fly zone over Homs to save babies and journalists. Hence my wondering if it is a false narrative.
Eight-

One last thing the bizarre photos of this woman. They seem off.


Is she dead. Is she alive. Unconfirmed reports? I just don't know?

France Holds Syria Responsible in Journalists’ Bombing DeathsBritain summons Syrian envoy over journalists' deaths

Britain summoned the Syrian ambassador on Wednesday to lodge a protest over the deaths of two Western journalists and demand the repatriation of their bodies, the Foreign Office said.


Think about this? She was in Syria illegally.
How is it that Syria is responsible for her actions and her presence in a terrorist stronghold?
Syria is not. She is. Or, should I say NATO is?
Whoever or however she got into Syria, the involved parties should be the ones to get these bodies out.

If Syria can't produce the "bodies" will this incident be used as the justification for an assault on Syria? Or the creation of buffer zones or a no fly zone?

Chapter 111: What To Do Next

Sherlock Holmes and Alderney street - Wed, 02/22/2012 - 04:33
Previous: Impossible On Several Levels
"Perhaps you'd prefer this armchair?""Either you have gone completely insane," said Mycroft, "or you are far better informed than I am. I don't see any sign of insanity -- do you, doctor? So I suppose I must assume you know a good deal more than I do, which leaves me with two immediate questions."

"Fire when ready," replied Sherlock.

"Why didn't you tell me any of this before now?" asked Mycroft.

"Our paths have not crossed very often recently," said Sherlock, "and the subject has never come up. But even if it had, would you have been ready to listen?"

"No," admitted Mycroft. "Probably not."

"Question two?" prompted Sherlock.

"What to do next," said Mycroft.

"In what sense?" asked his brother.

"With my life!" replied Mycroft. "If you are right, I have assisted in the commission of horrible crimes -- unwittingly, perhaps, but horrible nonetheless. What's done is done, and surely it cannot be undone, and yet -- yet there must be some way that I can make amends."

"You're serious?" asked Sherlock.

"Never more so," replied Mycroft.

"Then I must congratulate you," said Sherlock. "Many people lack the courage, the integrity, the strength of character to admit that they've been lied to, and that they've believed the lies they've been told."

"How long have you known me?" asked Mycroft.

"Practically forever," replied his brother.

"Then you should know," continued Mycroft, "that no congratulations are required. Like you, Sherlock, I am a man of logic and reason. If I have promoted murderous lies -- and it appears that I have done so -- I am compelled to do whatever I can to reverse the damage I have done."

"Most of the damage is probably irreversible," said Sherlock, "but if you throw your efforts onto the side of truth and justice, you may yet do some good."

"But how?" replied Mycroft. "I'm a man of habit, structure, and regular routine. My entire adult life has revolved around my job, which I no longer have. Not that I would want it back, but I do need something to replace it.

"Certainly, I wish to work for truth and justice, but, as you say, I am an analyst. I am not by nature a gatherer of intelligence. I am accustomed to working as part of a team, classifying, organizing, and even synthesizing information. But the information needs to come from somewhere. I can't do that part myself."

"As I have told Watson," said Sherlock, "you would have been a better detective than I am, if you had the energy to quit your armchair and do the necessary leg-work. But if you could apply your skills in a situation where incoming data were evaluated on the basis of truth, or lack thereof, rather than for political value, you could hardly avoid becoming a valuable asset."

"But to whom?" pressed Mycroft. "Where? To be honest, I would be more inclined to celebrate my new-found freedom if I were as confident of my prospects as you seem to be."

"Ah, Mycroft," replied his brother, "your problem may be far less serious than you think. Men with your powers of deduction are exceedingly rare, and always in demand, somewhere or other. I happen to know of a position which has recently become available and which would suit you very well."

"Truly?" asked Mycroft.

"Yes indeed," replied Sherlock. "You are far better qualified than any other candidate, or potential candidate, so the only real question would be whether you wanted the job."

"Salary?" asked Mycroft.

"Adequate, if not exactly generous," replied Sherlock.

"Hours?"

"Far more flexible than you would require."

"Duties?"

"Mostly sitting, reading, and thinking. Some talking. Maybe a bit of writing now and then."

"Travel?"

"None."

"Excellent. Working conditions?"

"As comfortable as you could hope for. Are you happy on the couch? Perhaps you'd prefer this armchair? Would you like some more fruit, or some more tea?"

"Are you serious?" asked Mycroft.

"Absolutely," replied Sherlock. "We need the help. You need the work. You'd be perfect for the job, and it would be perfect for you. You would work here, with Watson and myself, or alone if we happen to be away."

"May I have some time to think about it?" asked Mycroft.

"Yes, of course," replied Sherlock. "Take all the time you need."

"All right," said Mycroft. "I've thought about it. When can I start?"

Syria- As the stakes get ever higher

pennyforyourthoughts2 - Tue, 02/21/2012 - 12:35
Apologies it is a long winded, sort of tangle webbed post



In case you missed it the “peaceful” protestors, armed terrorists assassinated a Judge and Prosecutor over the weekend

“Gunmen in Syria staged a guerrilla-style ambush that killed a senior state prosecutor and a judge Sunday in an attack that suggested armed factions are growing bolder and more coordinated ...”

How is it the armed NATO terrorists are becoming bolder and more coordinated?
With the help of US drones, of course!


The US claims “The drones are being used to gather evidence on the Syrian security forces' violence against pro-democracy protesters that can be used to "make a case for a widespread international response,"

The US administration hopes to use visual evidence and intercepts of Syrian government and military communications to "make the case for a widespread international response".

Do you believe that humanitarian spin? I don’t. Gathering evidence of violence used against
“pro democracy” protestors. Hilarious! Really.
Is anyone remaining out there in the world so gullible to believe that?
What makes more sense?
The drones are indeed being used to ascertain the whereabouts of Syrian troops or state officials, with the information then being sent to the armed terrorists. That would explain the “bolder and more coordinated attacks” being conducted by the armed terrorists. Making possible the guerilla style ambushes. Such as the one reported above.

As it was in Libya, so it is in Syria.

Here’s something curious...... Well not really?
Druze Students upon return to occupied Golan Heights, say Syrian Crisis is NOT all that the masses are told

Druze students returning to the Golan Heights from Syria said on Monday that they never saw any demonstrations, and that reports and pictures emerging from the country were not reliable.

Eight students crossed the border on Monday at the Kuneitra crossing, coming from the Syrian side of the border on a bus accompanied by UNIFIL vehicles.

"There was a feeling of uncertainty, people are very confused," said Nadar Khalabi, who studies Arabic literature"I went out to the street when I heard there was a demonstration, but I didn't see anyone," he said. "A large part of the pictures and reports from Syria are not reliable, at least that was our impression."
Another student, Wissam Safdy, agreed. "I went to the al-Mazzah neighborhood in Damascus when there were reports of demonstrations, but I didn't see anything," he said. "We don't know what's happening, but in Damascus things are calm, and the prevailing feeling is that in the end Syria will come out of this crisis."

Syria reportedly quelled unrest in the al-Mazzah neighborhood over the weekend, with at least 15,000 people demonstrating Saturday to protest the deaths of three demonstrators in the same area the previous day. (Except this was not three demonstrators, nor was there a demonstration. It was a funeral for three Syrian soldiers. I covered that here on the blog)

A new angle on the propaganda front against Syria being spun by the msm...
Since all the angles have to be worked! Equating Syria to the war in Bosnia.
Because “Bosnia history warns only armed mission can work”
An armed mission is after all the NATO/ Israeli agenda.

Curiously this new spin seems to coordinate very nicely with the Death Angel(ina's) latest work of cinematic mind control
I guess that is just another one of those coincidences, right?

"She (Jolie) read books and consulted with some of the key characters from that conflict, like U.S. diplomat Richard Holbrooke. " Was he CFR too?


One similarity between Syria, Libya and Bosnia for sure is the presence of Western armed and backed fundamentalists fighters in Bosnia

“The Bosnian War, which was fought between Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia, attracted large numbers of foreign fighters and mercenaries from various countries. “ Like Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan, fresh from the war with Russia
“ Foreign fighters, styling themselves mujahideen, turned up in Bosnia around 1993 with Croatian identity documents, passports and IDs.
Wonder how it was they all got those phoney passports, documents and ID??

Of course, out of the ashes of that conflict arose the Narco/ Child prostitute/ Organ trafficking state of Kosovo. The new country the US just couldn't wait to "recognize"

Speaking of Richard Holbrooke.... him and his terrorist fighters back in the day


From an old post.
Madeline" dead Iraqi children worth it" Albright was there too
So Ms Jolie consulted with Holbrooke for her movie... that should ensure the movie is pure and utter spin.

Meanwhile Russia, China and Iran continue to show their support for Syria

Assad met a senior Russian politician in Damascus, who reiterated Moscow's support for his self-styled reform programme and spoke out against any foreign intervention in the conflict.
China accused Western countries of stirring up civil war in Syria, and two Iranian warships docked at a Syrian naval base, underscoring rising international tensions over the near year-long crisis.It is being reported the Iranian ships have left Syria, if they were every really there?

I wonder why the ships, as claimed, would have docked at Tartous, rather then Latakia?

We continue to hear of the “bombardment” of Homs.
If correct, and I am of the opinion that it is.. this is being done to prevent the carving out of a zone that will be used by Turkey/NATO to launch all out bombing and terror across the country of Syria. Therefore, unless the Syrian government is going to prevent the possibility of wholesale slaughter ala Libya, Homs has to be taken back from the NATO backed rebels.

Very interesting, but not surprising, that the msm had disappeared this sentence from a number of news reports....


For the obvious reason, or what should be obvious is it makes clear the agenda in Syria.
To carve out a chunk of the country to use as a launching point for more NATO agression
Here is the disappeared sentence, or all that remained of it, from 100's of news articles, after all this is a news wire story from AP that would have been picked up and rehashed in literally hundreds and hundreds of sites.

“some believe they could ultimately carve out a zone akin to Benghazi in eastern Libya, where rebels launched ...”

Here is the search that will take you to the stories that did contain that sentence, but now have mysteriously removed it?

Well, I stand corrected. I found one, just one news story that had not been redacted.
How long that one story will remain intact is anyone's guess. But you can find the one remaining story here at the Chronicle Herald. And the redacted censored sentence in it's entirety
But the city is the capital of Syria’s largest province, stretching from the Lebanese border to the Iraqi frontier. If rebel forces keep gaining ground there, some believe they could ultimately carve out a zone akin to Benghazi in eastern Libya, where rebels launched their successful uprising against Moammar Gadhafi last year.


Was that giving away much of the agenda in too obvious of a fashion?
If you have been following along, you know that this information was already covered Feb 16/2012 "Rebels" defy Assad and carve out their own piece of Syria

How many times can I say it, other then some minor variances, this is Libya redux
Something the mainstream media clearly do not want the masses to figure out

Memorial Daze

kennysideshow - Mon, 02/20/2012 - 18:56

I ran across this photo in a local magazine of the Children's Holocaust Memorial and Paper Clip Project in Whitwell , Tennessee.

It is located, perhaps appropriately, on Pie in the Sky Trail.

The Paper Clip Project began as a school kid campaign to collect 6 million magic paper clips. Over 30 million were collected of which 11 million are housed in an authentic German train car.

Ironically, Operation Paperclip  was a U.S. organized monumental transfer of black technology by actively recruiting Nazi scientists and criminals for employment by U.S. intelligence. The U.S. pointedly chose fervent Nazi scientists with experience in chemical, biological and radioactive warfare to become the architects of the CIA’s darkest military experiments. This tale is conveniently left out of the school books that always include the quasi-religious narrative of the 6 million. 


While on the subject of World War II, it seems there is a bit of a dust-up concerning the proposed Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial in D.C. that has planned a statue of a young boy Eisenhower who is barefoot. The symbolism is not readily apparent to me. We will have to ask the foreign architect about that. Don't we have anyone here in this country these days who can design a 'memorial' without have to outsource it?

Eisenhower had one brief moment of clarity in his life. It was his presidential exit speech warning of the military-industrial complex. As Supreme Allied Commander on the European front, Eisenhower was complicit with the mass-murder firebombing of Dresden and other civilian 'holocausts.' The infamous Eisenhower death camps were where over a million common German ex-soldiers were detained after Germany's surrender and a large unknown number of them died from starvation and disease, on purpose. The barefoot boy became a war criminal.

Can you imagine that one day memorials may be built to the Bush father-son criminal tag team?  By that time Jeb may be included. A memorial to Obama? For being ???  I'm waiting on the memorial to the hundreds of millions of Americans who have suffered at the hands of the central bankers and friends over the last hundred years.


Today is the so called Presidents Day which is really Washington's birthday with the actual date moved around so federal employees and schools can have a three day holiday. Nothing is ever as it seems is it? Thank God there is no Vice-Presidents day. The only day Dick Cheney needs is his day in court for high crimes.


There is this little debate going on about criminalizing lies. The Supreme Court will hear arguments in the case of a liar who was convicted under the Stolen Valor Act, which prohibits falsely claiming to have been awarded a military medal. It was dumb for the liar to do it but it was one of those 'no harm, no foul' things. Do we want to spend taxpayer dollars to lock the guy up besides the cost of the lawyers involved? Lying in combination with fraud is another matter altogether.
In February 2003, a Florida Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with an assertion by FOX News that there is no rule against distorting or falsifying the news in the United States. FOX asserted that there are no written rules against distorting news in the media. They argued that, under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on public airwaves. I'm sure the Supreme Court was glad that case never came before them. A ruling against FOX could have gotten virtually every newscaster in the MSM put in jail unless they cleaned up their act, especially when it comes to the lies of war and a thousand other issues that actually do harm to the American public.

Put some twisted liar in jail for a 'medal of honor' tale but remember the 935 lies the Bush Administration told to push for the Iraq War? How about Colin Powell before the United Nations lying about the same thing? Over 4400 U.S. soldiers dead in Iraq and maybe over a million Iraqis who died under the guise  of bringing 'democracy.' That's murder on a grand scale. Those liars got a pass.

And it's deja vu all over again. The 'news' tonight has started priming us for $5 a gallon gas coming soon and what story do they follow it up with? Iran of course. The stuff that memorials are made of.





This marquee should placed over the doors of all government buildings and be a required quote for all school kids to learn and write essays on. You never know, some of them may actually get the meaning.

Today's media soundbite: "SANTORUM'S SURGE" - next up: "BROKERED CONVENTION" and then "JEB BUSH"

bigdanblogger - Mon, 02/20/2012 - 12:12
SANTORUM'S SURGE

Santorum or NEWT are NOT going to be the GOP nominee. They are playing their "part" right now, like Herman "999" Cain did, like Michele Bachmann did, like Rick Perry did, etc... You are being PLAYED by the media & the establishment GOP. It's between Ron Paul & Romney...or a "BROKERED CONVENTION". PERIOD! Santorum & NEWT aren't even on the ballot in several major states! They are "joke candidates" to sucker you into wasting your time watching these CLOWNS in this CIRCUS that have no chance of winning. The media and establishment GOP is trying to make a FOOL out of you! Ask yourself why the media isn't pointing out to you, that Santorum & NEWT have practically no mathematical chance of winning...unless ONE (only ONE) of them miraculously wins like 90% of the remaining primaries...of which they're not even on the ballots in all of them!

INSURGENTS, DEATH PANELS, ACCORDING TO ISLAMIC LAW, etc...etc...all the flavor of the day media brainwashing soundbite. The new one, in case you haven't turned on your "radio news briefs", or TV, or even picked up a newspaper, is: "SANTORUM'S SURGE"......according to the media. Yes, crazy Rick Santorum, a "joke candidate" just like NEWT is, neither of whom has a mathematical chance to win unless a MIRACLE happens only for ONE OF THEM, and the media isn't telling you that...is having "SANTORUM'S SURGE". Remember HOCKEY MOM'S, REAGAN DEMOCRATS? Remember HOPE & CHANGE? Or any of these other media brainwashing soundbites pounded into your head over and over and over?

Rick Santorum, one of the new trend of unemployed presidential candidates (Romney, NEWT, Santorum, etc...except for Ron Paul, who is an actual working congressman not collecting money from god knows where - business investments, PAC's, ???), CRAZY EXTREME unemployed (what do these guys do??? does anyone know? just run for president?) Rick Santorum is having a SURGE. Is that like THE SURGE in the WAR ON TERROR?

The media is particularly fixed on the word SURGE: SANTORUM'S SURGE, INSURGENTS, & the SURGE (from the fake "war on terror").

For all intents and purposes, Santorum and NEWT are "joke candidates" that should drop out, and it's really between Romney & Ron Paul, which will lead to the upcoming media soundbite "BROKERED CONVENTION". Here's my friend activist Anthony Antonello on a "BROKERED CONVENTION", which will simply be the 1% elites of the establishment GOP "INSTALLING" whomever they want, and the votes of the people be damned, all the work people put in be damned, the money, etc... And don't expect the media to point that out, just expect them to say "BROKERED CONVENTION" about a million times on "the radio news briefs":

No matter what the media wants you to believe, It’s already a two-man race. Of the 2,286 total Republican delegates, 1,144 are needed to win nomination. In five (5) States: Virginia, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee and Illinois, Gingrich and Santorum are not even on the ballot. That’s 564 delegates that they cannot get. After South Carolina, only 59 delegates have been allocated to the 4 candidates. Mitt Romney has 39 of those. This means Santorum or Gingrich has to pick up 1,144 delegates from the remaining 1,683. Let’s say that Paul only picks up 20% of the total number of delegates–I happen to believe he will do much better–but let’s pick 20%. That’s 457 delegates for Paul. Add that to the 564 that Newt and Santorum won’t have a shot at and now there are 1,021 delegates that Santorum and Gingrich have no chance of getting. Subtract... that 1,021 from the total 2,286 and you’re left with 1,265 delegates. That means that Gingrich and Santorum, one or the other, have to pick up over 90% of the available delegates to get the nomination. So, essentially, we’re down to Paul and Romney. A vote for Gingrich and Santorum is a wasted vote!


And you heard it here first: I said JEB BUSH was going to figure in at the end (which implied a BROKERED CONVENTION) -

November 5, 2011 - The Three Stooges Simultaneous Meltdown: orchestrated by KARL ROVE so JEB BUSH can step in at the last second????

...frankly, I stole the idea off of my friends John Niems and plunger, plunger thinks there's a possibility that Jeb Bush will be Romney's VP pick, if Romney "wins" the stolen GOP cross country "elections". That would be like Reagan/Bush I, where Bush was really running the country. Jeb would be running the country, if he's Romney's VP. Kind of like Cheney running the country when GW was president.

Rick Santorum on THE DEVIL:



CNN accidentally shows that the GOP primary "election" is being stolen right in front of everyone's eyes, from state to state

This is a cut/paste of something I said in my comments about a week ago, and I still stand by it, it was after Santorum "won" Minnesota, Missouri, Colorado in one night...out of nowhere:

My theory on why stealing last night's 3 states for Santorum makes sense, even if they still want to have Romney win:

First of all, Ron Paul I believe is winning by a landslide and it's being stolen from him. Their overall objective is to IGNORE Ron Paul. He does the entire establishment harm simply by being covered when he talks. NEWT & Santorum are "joke candidates", in fact, NEWT wasn't even on the Missouri ballot last night. What does this tell us: THERE WASN'T ONE STORY AHEAD OF TIME IN THE MAINSTREAM PRESS STATING THAT NEWT WASN'T ON THE MISSOURI BALLOT! Now we know NEWT & Santorum aren't on several other upcoming ballots. Watch for the NON-STORIES of this. But last night, one of NEWT's states hit first which one of them weren't on the ballot.

Since their overall objective is to silence Ron Paul, if NEWT & Santorum bowed out, which they should, they're not even serious candidates if they're not on several major states' ballots, the press would be FORCED to talk about Ron Paul, because he would be the only other candidate besides Romney. EVEN THE PRESS COULDN'T PULL OFF THE FEAT OF NOT TALKING ABOUT THE ONLY OTHER CANDIDATE IN A TWO-MAN RACE.

So of utmost importance is this: NEWT & Santorum cannot drop out at all costs.

So, if you were rigging these "elections", and one of NEWT's states he's not on the ballot comes up, what I would do is throw that night to Santorum, so when HIS states come up where he's not on the ballot, he would seem more "legit" anyway, because he won some states.

IE: if NEWT or Santorum didn't win ANY states coming into states where they weren't even on the ballot, it would be insane to expect the public not to wonder why they are even in the race.

So, if this holds true, NEWT will win the nights when we reach states that Santorum isn't on the ballot.

In states that everyone's on the ballot, Romney will win.

This pattern has held true, btw. But you might say, "But Santorum won Iowa". Yes, but Romney STOLE it for all intents and purposes. From what I'm reading, Iowa has the best, most legit, hardest to hack elections. And what happened? Romney "won", but with little fanfare days later, an "error" was caught and Santorum won. But Romney won Iowa in the press, and that's all that counts.

If Santorum won Iowa AT THE TIME OF THE VOTE, the headlines would've had to say Santorum won. But all the headlines said: "ROMNEY WINS IOWA". When the glitch was caught, was that the #1 story?

And again: how could NEWT not being on the ballot in Missouri be a non-story in the press BEFORE the Missouri "election"?

What a JOKE elections are in the U.S. Our country is a JOKE! And we're raised to think how great it is.

Does it make any sense whatsoever (if our "elections" are for real) that Santorum came from nowhere and swept 3 major states last night? That makes ZERO sense. (IF "elections" are legit and all the votes count)

It actually makes ZERO sense that "joke candidates" NEWT & Santorum are even in it, and didn't bow out. EXCEPT...if they are only in there so it's not ROMNEY VS RON PAUL, and the press would be FORCED to talk about the only other candidate. If it was ROMNEY VS RON PAUL, I don't think the press would get away with saying: "ROMNEY IS RUNNING UNOPPOSED"!!!!!

NEWT & Santorum CAN'T back out or the plans to ignore Ron Paul would be ruined. Can ONE of them back out? I'm going to say: NOT LIKELY. Because if they didn't already, and they're obviously "joke candidates", then I believe neither one will drop out. And to give it some legitimacy, they're throwing some states to NEWT & Santorum in the meantime to make them look LESS like the obvious "joke candidates" that they are.
Here is a comment about my comment from PLUNGER:

Excellent analysis. I laughed out loud when i saw these headlines this morning. It simply did not happen. It's totally contrived to keep Ron Paul out of the headlines at all costs. In the prior live vote count video you posted from CNN - Santorum received ZERO votes during the time the clip was shot. NONE.
And here's the clip plunger refers to...not ONCE do you here Santorum's name called out...but there's a "SANTORUM SURGE". This clip, the ONLY clip on TV of LIVE vote counting, Ron Paul wins by a landslide in this Nevada precinct and Santorum's name isn't called out ONCE:

(SANTORUM'S NAME NOT CALLED OUT ONCE HERE!!! And don't even mention that this is a JEWISH precinct who voted landslide for Ron Paul and he's supposed to be ANTI-SEMETIC!!!)



This whole GOP primary "election" is one big fake dog and pony show from beginning to end, and don't forget about crazy Herman "999" Cain and crazy Michele Bachmann and crazy drunk(?) and forgetful Rick Perry, who played their earlier parts in this fake show.

plunger: Santorum has set himself up perfectly to be eviscerated. He'll have every other GOP candidate running nasty ads against him, while virtually every woman in America will hate him - as he continues his tone-deaf crusade against women - in a desire to set America back 50-100 years. Imaging how many more dumb-ass things he will say over the coming months. Ron Paul is perfectly positioned to watch the rest of the GOP eat itself.

Who Is Foster Friess? Seven Facts You Need To Know

ALL THIS POLITICAL MONEY GOES TO WHOM? THE ZIONIST-CONTROLLED MEDIA BARONS. THE ZIONIST-CONTROLLED COURTS AND CONGRESS CREATED THE CIRCUMSTANCE BY WHICH CORPORATIONS AND BILLIONAIRES ARE FLEECED FOR CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS TO FUND A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR POLITICAL ADVERTISING MACHINE UNDER THE UNFOUNDED BELIEF THAT THE RESULTS ARE NOT PREORDAINED/RIGGED. ALL THAT MONEY GOES INTO THE COFFERS OF THE ZIONIST WAR-MONGERING CAUSE OF ENRICHING ISRAEL BY DESTROYING AMERICA - IN A PERPETUAL CYCLE OF TREASON.

In the declaration, the eight church leaders reiterate opposition to alliance between Christian Zionists and the right-wing Israeli government. They warned that the alliance would inevitably lead to unending cycles of violence all over the Middle East.

Organized Christian Zionism has long been rooted and mobilized in the US. American Evangelicals, who are usually linked to the Christian Zionism movement, believe they have a biblical and moral obligation to support and protect Israel because it is "God's foreign policy".

A research by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life found that evangelical Christians were more likely to support Israel than any other religious group in America besides Jews.

"To the Palestinians and the Arab world, we say do not lump Christian Zionists with true Christianity which stands with the oppressed and the weak against the oppressor," says Bishop Younan.

"And to Christian Zionists we say, you are not welcomed here. Don’t come to our country to dupe and mislead people with your money and poisoned ideology."

Secrets Around Christian Zionism by Bishop

Dispensationalism is the doctrine that God has two "chosen peoples" not one. His first chosen people are the Jews and this relationship to them is codified in the Old Testament. Therefore the Jewish people should have their home in the promised land of the Old Testament and should be
permitted to occupy all of it (because God wills it) and rebuild their ancient civilization, including their religious temple for sacrificial purposes. God's second chosen people are the Christians, which is codified by the New Testament, who live within the spiritual entity called "the church" and this is entirely separate to the nation-state of Israel. The job of the church in these latter times, according to Dispensationalism, is to peach the gospel and support the nation-state of Israel. Since preaching the gospel and supporting the nation-state of Israel are virtually synonymous, according to Dispensationalism, they are really one in the same purpose. So as far as Evangelical Protestants are concerned, a good Jew migrates to Israel, while a good Christian supports him. This is God's plan for the latter times, as far as contemporary Evangelical Protestantism teaches today. For Christians, the motive is to await the "rapture" and Second Coming of Christ. For Dispensationalism teaches that once all the Jews have finally migrated back to the nation-state of Israel, settled all the land, and rebuilt their temple, then Jesus Christ will return to "rapture" the church and usher in the End Times. This is why Evangelical televangelists can be seen every Sunday morning expressing their unwavering support for the Zionist state and proclaiming that failure to do so is tantamount to a lack of Christian faith.

Catholics Cannot Be Zionists

ISRAEL IS DUPING THESE RELIGIOUS ZEALOTS TO DO THEIR BIDDING TO DESTROY AMERICA...The Middle East

The Religious Right has given very strong support to the state of Israel in recent decades, encouraging the United States government to support Israel and treating Israeli international relations as a holy war against Islam.[74] Some have linked Israel to Biblical prophesies; for example, Ed McAteer, founder of the Moral Majority, said "I believe that we are seeing prophecy unfold so rapidly and dramatically and wonderfully and, without exaggerating, makes me breathless."[75]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_rightIT'S THE ALLEGEDLY-CHRISTIAN END-TIMER CULT THAT HAS BEEN HIJACKED BY THE ZIONIST CRIMINAL CABAL TO DO ITS BIDDING.  THESE GOY ARE PERCEIVED AS USEFUL IDIOTS BY THOSE WHO ARE TRULY IN POSITIONS OF ZIONIST POWER - WITH THE ABILITY TO BRIBE OR BLACKMAIL ANYONE THEY CHOOSE - COMPLETELY ABOVE THE LAW.

The entire contrived "culture war" in America is a Divide & Conquer ruse, invented by the Zionist media ownership and their NWO co-conspirators to compel Christians to had over all their money in support of promoting it in their politics and the media. The banksters and media overlords are laughing their asses off behind the scenes about what useful tools these wealthy evangelicals are - and how easy it is to manipulate them to hand over all that loot.

FOLLOW THE MONEY.

The 5-Minute Speech that Got Judge Napolitano Fired from Fox News:




BREAD AND CIRCUSES

JEB BUSH, JEB BUSH, JEB BUSH

The script was clearly distributed to every political/news show and network over the weekend. The name of Jeb Bush is now mentioned several times per day on every one of these shows. This does not happen by accident. It happens by decree. It happens when George Bush Sr. and David Rockefeller and Benjamin Netanyahu and Karl Rove command it. There is a conspiracy at the head of the political process in this country. This cabal controls the entire APPARENT electoral process. They write the script well in advance, and each of the PAID ACTORS play their part, right on cue. Jeb Bush will either be the GOP's choice to run against Obama at a brokered convention OR will be chosen as the VP for Romney. Santorum is a stalking horse, whose role is to appease the ultra-right knuckle-draggers, then hand those voters off to Bush or Romney. Ron Paul is to be marginalized or ignored - or to the extent possible, used to so dispirit progressives, that they will not vote at all.

Google: "Bread & Circuses"

"Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrainsitself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses"

OUR FAILURE TO ARREST AND CONVICT THE CRIMINALS WHO KILLED JFK, HATCHED IRAN/CONTRA AND IMPLEMENTED 9/11 - HAS LED TO THIS. THEY OWN/CONTROL THE MEDIA AND CONGRESS AND THE COURTS. AND NOW ISRAEL'S NETANYAHU CONTROLS IT ALL, VIA BLACKMAIL - FOR IT IS HE WHO HAS ALL THE EVIDENCE OF THE US SHADOW GOVERNMENT'S ROLE IN 9/11, AND HE IS USING IT TO MAXIMUM EFFECT. NETANYAHU, NOT OBAMA, CONTROLS THE WORLDS MOST EQUIPPED MILITARY POWER - AND ITS ENTIRE POLITICAL PROCESS - WHICH IS A TOTAL CHARADE.

WHEN YOU SEE THE WAR AGAINST IRAN LAUNCHED, AND JEB BUSH ON THE GOP TICKET, THIS WILL HAVE BEEN THE DOING OF GHW BUSH AND BENJAMIN NETANYAHU - JUST LIKE 9/11.

THE WORD IS "CONSPIRACY"

In Karl Rove's strategy, Ron Paul Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum are each Pied Piper's. Gingrich is the theatrical foil. All of them know that GHW owns the CIA and runs the show - and that Karl Rove has long ago written the script. They are all under contract to do whatever they are instructed to do. They are paid actors in the circus. They are each bribed and blackmailed- or they would not be allowed into the arena in the first place. Like Nader before him, Paul's role is to absorb the disenfranchised, then cast them to the wind.

Obama was viewed as the last best hope in the eyes of the disenfranchised when he ran against Bush. He was their Pied Piper - who in the end, simply led them to follow his implementation of GHW Sr.'s policies. This time around, the ringleader (Rove) has again tossed the disenfranchised a bone in the form of Paul. The goal is to raise the hopes of the disenfranchised, then crush them, repeatedly, until finally the disenfranchised simply stop seeking alternatives to the Fascist Quo.

The new twist is that Netanyahu has Bush Sr. by the balls (blackmailing Bush's entire family for their role in 9/11) - and therefor controls literally everything you see and hear on television.

As has been obvious for the last several months, the role of the entire cast of GOP electoral characters was always to destroy each other so severely, that the GOP would be left with no choice but to introduce a "Savior" at the last possible moment to run against their Devil character - Obama. Each would assume their place at the top, prior to spectacular flame out - to coincide with a fat bonus payment to their numbered Swiss bank account. It was all preordained and scripted. All of the political advertising money flowed to the media overlords as payola for their cooperation (receipt and dissemination of talking points without question) in the ruse.

It's all theater - a Reality Show - with paid actors and a compliant media to distribute the show 24/7 to the ignorant masses. JEB BUSH IS RUNNING AGAINST OBAMA, BE IT AS A CANDIDATE FOR POTUS OR AS VP.

The outcome is predetermined. The script writers know it. They create their own reality...

Reality Based Community

Reality-based community is an informal term in the United States. In the fall of 2004, the phrase "proud member of the reality-based community" was first used to suggest the commentator's
opinions are based more on observation than on faith, assumption, or ideology. The term has been defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from judicious study of discernible reality." Some commentators have gone as far as to suggest that there is an overarching conflict in society between the reality-based community and the "faith-based community" as a whole. It can be seen as an example of political framing.

The source of the term is a quotation in an October 17, 2004, The New York Times Magazine article by writer Ron Suskind, quoting an unnamed aide to George W. Bush (later attributed to Karl Rove[1]):

The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." ... "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that'show things will sort out. We're history's actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."[2]I READ YOUR SCRIPT, KARL...

Our basic common ground is that we don't forget ..... and we don't forgive

kennysideshow - Sun, 02/19/2012 - 22:10
The celebration on Wall Street as Germany surrenders in World War I was for much more than the end of the war. Now it was pay back time. Investment = principal plus interest. It was also time to plan for the next round of theft, destruction and murder. The planning and execution of those crimes continue to this very day.

It's a cliche now but but every good criminal investigator follows the money. Cui Bono? Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, the City of London and all the other affiliates of the international banking syndicate make their real money from chaos in the marketplace and death.


For many of us the Vietnam war was our awakening. We watched as our soldier friends who had little choice came home in boxes, damaged physically and psychologically and maybe even dancing with addictions from which they would never recover. We heard the stories firsthand but many times it was what was not to be said that was most telling.
Man Down
 Our idealism in the Vietnam era screamed it would never happen again. We would end war. We would stop the insanity. We're still working on it.

We have never forgiven the bankers and their hierarchy of minions for what they have done. It doesn't seem we ever will. Forgiveness comes only after justice and justice is in short supply.




A little over ten years ago the money handlers jumped the shark. They threw at us the 'all or nothing' and 'in your face' catalyst for all things destructive to come. They gambled that they could pull it off and by god they did. Questioners were met immediately with misinformation, disinformation and infiltration of the non-official narrative right alongside bits and pieces of clues as to the who, why and how. The 9/11 truth movement was from the beginning a divide and conquer playground for those tasked with the cover ups and continuation of a perverted end game.

After all this time we are still arguing about the hows and it plays right into the hands of the perps. Honest sincere people will agree to disagree no matter how passionate their viewpoints may be.  One person's analysis may not fit another's perceptions but among the honest there is always common ground and a chance to find allies even in disagreement of details. Goon Squad puts it in perspective:
Ladies and Gentlemen, what Ben Franklin said during America's Revolutionary War, where for once we breathed free air after ridding the USA of the Rothschilds agents and banks is true today and what he said was something like, "Gentleman, if we don't hang together, we most assuredly will hang separately."

Let us agree to disagree about the unknowns during the FALSE FLAG/INSIDE JOB of 9/11, as long as we stay on the path TOGETHER, seeking REAL 9/11 truth or the last sound you'll hear on this Earth will be the trap door swinging open, as we get picked off or picked up, one by one.
Our basic common ground is that we don't forget ..... and we don't forgive.

China and India have been battling for influence over the Maldives for at least the past decade. Who would the globalists want to have more influence over the Maldives? China, the new economic engine for the world economy? Or India, the strategically located ally in Southern Asia?

Then again, does it really matter? The more we look at these situations, the more it seems that whatever happens, the globalists find a way to benefit. They benefit from war and chaos and fighting and division. Will the Maldives be torn in pieces? Do the globalists really care as long as they can continue to vacation at some of the most beautiful, exclusive, resorts in the world, on private atolls far from the capital?


Have mega-yacht, will travel...

As reported in December 2011: China opens an embassy in the capital, Male.

With fewer than 400,000 people, the Maldives ranks just 179th in the world for GDP. But the Chinese love it. For a variety of reasons.The Chinese now makeup the biggest segment of tourists in the Maldives, where almost 30% of the economy depends on tourism. But the country’s beautiful beaches aren’t the only draw for the Chinese.”
The opening of the Chinese Embassy came just two days before the Maldives hosted a gathering of the eight South Asian leaders last month.
For the next year, Nasheed will head SAARC – short for the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation.
...India wants to create a buffer against rising Chinese influence in the region.
...Prime Minister Singh promised a $ 100 million line of credit. The two countries also signed a security pact. It’s a possible dig at other countries in the region, like Pakistan and Sri Lanka, which have taken significant Chinese loans, especially for the building of new ports.
Saravanamuttu said India suspects China of investing their way into the region in an attempt to envelop India, economically and maybe more.
“The worst Indian fears are the Chinese are trying to establish a military presence in South Asia and using these ports as military ports in all of the countries which will constitute a string of pearls to contain India. So it is a new balance of power emerging with India and the U.S. on one side and china on the other.”Two sides then? That always keeps things interesting.

The globalists have their tentacles in both India and China, so any setting up of sides is -- AS USUAL -- a construct that allows for conflict and chaos. No matter what happens, the globalists win. Any collateral damage is "regrettable."

The Maldives has long been an elite tourist destination, for 30 years under the control of Gayoom until 2008, when Nasheed was elected to great expectations. Now Nasheed has been overturned in a coup, and Gayoom is reportedly pleased with the results.

Gayoom, former dictator, has powerful friends. Gayoom was acceptable, for 30 years, right up until he wasn't. Gaddafi was acceptable, for 40 years, right up until he wasn't. Mubarak was acceptable, for 30 years, right up until he wasn't. And Nasheed was acceptable, for 4 years, right up until he wasn't.

See Aangirfan: US coup in the Maldives?


 http://www.indiatalkies.com/2011/08/chinese-aircraft-carrier-serve-south-china-sea.html
Nasheed, who came into power with the help of USAID and NGOs also has powerful friends.

Nasheed took on as his close adviser and communications assistant Paul Roberts, a British national. In what alienated his Salafist supporters, Nasheed also opened diplomatic relations with Israel, invited Israeli surgeons to Maldives amid fears they would begin harvesting human organs for Israeli clients, met with Israeli government officials, agreed to allow direct air links between Israel and Maldives, invited Israeli trainers into Maldives to advise Maldivian security forces, and failed to ensure that Maldives voted for Palestine’s full admission to the UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) during the organization’s general assembly meeting in Paris on October 31, 2011. Maldives was absent from the vote.  ...Faced with the opposition and police/military uprising, Nasheed resigned the presidency on February 7. Later, Nasheed and his British adviser Roberts claimed that Nasheed was ousted in a coup d’etat. The U.S. State Department demanded that Vice President Mohammed Waheed Hassan, who assumed the presidency and opposed the arrest order of the Chief Justice, form a government of national unity with Nasheed’s supporters. Hassan refused and India, which, in the past, has intervened militarily in Maldives to put down attempted coups, remained silent. The Soros/NED global glitterati, including the Soros-funded “Democracy Now” program hosted by Amy Goodman and partly-funded by Soros, featured Roberts on an interview in which Gayoom was described as a thug and who was trying to re-assume power. Of course, the Soros propaganda program made no mention of Nasheed’s repeated violations of the Maldivian constitution. As with the destabilization of Iraq, Egypt, and Libya, the first target for alleged Islamist radicals after the ouster of Nasheed was the destruction of priceless museum artifacts. Unknown men broke into the Chinese-built Maldives National Museum in Male, the capital, and smashed the delicate coral and limestone pre--Islamic Maldivian Buddhist statues on display.  [The Washington Post reported that a "mob of suspected religious extremists" smashed 35 exhibits of pre-Islamic culture housed in the Maldives national museum. Ninety-nine percent of the museum's pre-Islamic artifacts were destroyed by the "mob of suspected Muslim extremists," and while investigations continue, no one has been arrested. (source) - Ed.]
The rise of Salafists and Muslim Brotherhood adherents in the new Maldivian government parallels what occurred in Egypt, Libya, Syria, and Tunisia after their themed revolutions. The Maldives were destabilized by the West at the same time that the Egyptian government charged 43 CIA-linked NGO personnel, including Americans, Britons, Serbs, and others working for IRI, NDI, and NED, with possessing a secret plan, including maps, to divide Egypt into an Israeli-dominated Sinai state, a Coptic state extending from Alexandria in the north to Asyut in the South, a Berber-dominated Islamic state based in Cairo, and a black African Nubian state in the south.  There now may be an attempt by the West to split up Maldives. In 1957, the British established the Gan airbase on the southernmost atoll of Addu and insisted on 100-year base rights on Seenu Atoll. After Maldives Prime Minister and President Ibrahim Nasir adopted a nationalist foreign policy, the British backed a secessionist movement in the southern atolls where the British bases were located that declared the short-lived United Suvadive Republic in 1959. After the collapse of the secessionist republic in 1965, the British bought the southernmost atoll in the Chagos-Laccadive chain of atolls from Mauritius and established the British Indian Ocean Territory. The inhabitants of the Chagos Archipelago island of Diego Garcia were forcibly removed to Mauritius and other Chagos islands and the United States established its strategic military base on the island of Diego Garcia. Maldives never recognized Mauritian claims over the Chagos atolls or the British Indian Ocean Territory. With neo-con interference in Maldives now coming to fruition, secessionist movements in the southern atolls may, once again, gain ground to ensure unfettered U.S. and British control over Diego Garcia and expansion of U.S. and British military facilities to the Addu atoll and, perhaps, further north in the Maldives chain.



Nasheed, the globalist, now blames wealthy resort owners for orchestrating the coup, because he was being too hard on them.

Mohamed Nasheed said some owners of beach resorts on the Maldives financed the coup because they resented competition for contracts and fixed direct taxes.He claimed that his own intelligence officers confirmed their involvement in the coup in a marriage of convenience with Muslim extremists.The Islamists led street protests against the government's decision to allow massage and health spas to proliferate.Since he came to power in 2008, advised by a team of Conservative Party campaigners, Mr Nasheed has privatised the country's main airport, introduced compulsory private health insurance, and imposed a tax system to make the country self – reliant."The coup was financed by resort owners … not just one but many," he said.
...He disclosed that an intervention by William Hague, the Foreign Secretary, had been crucial in turning international opinion in his party's favour after he was forced to resign on Tuesday."William Hague's statement in Parliament was the first to signal there was a coup here," he said.
A court order for Mr Nasheed's arrest appears to have been quietly shelved after international protests led by Britain. Mr Nasheed and his party have long-standing relationships with David Cameron, Mr Hague and other senior Tory figures.
The MDP was formed under the tutelage of the Conservatives through the Westminster Foundation for Democracy....Salafists, Islamic fundamentalists who share al – Qaeda's philosophy, had dominated the street protests against his government because they opposed the rise of spas and massage services, he said.So it's the wealthy and corrupt resort owners opposed to Nasheed, in cahoots with the Salafists (CIA + Mossad stooges) VERSUS the wealthy and corrupt Zionists who support Nasheed?

Win win win.


See Aangirfan: US coup in the Maldives?

Is Nasheed supported or opposed by the USA?

Are his 'Islamic' opponents supported or opposed by the USA?...Usually, both the Islamists, and their opponents, work for the CIA and Mossad.


Mubarak was said to be a friend of Israel and the USA, but he got toppled by the CIA and Mossad.
And so it goes.

China: base strategy: China acquires a base in the Maldives against India with some help from Pakistan, MAY 2005

We learn:

1. The Maldives are of strategic relevance to India due to the sea lanes.
2. Gayoom agreed to let the Chinese establish a base on Marao, 40km south of Male, in 2001, after two years of negotiations.
3. In this deal, allowing the Chinese leased access to Marao for 25 years, nuclear submarines were to be deployed on Marao.
4. High level Indian military personnel also had extensive negotiations with the Maldives around the same time, but no agreements were finalized.
5. At the time of publication, the Marao based was expected to be operational by 2010.
"But once Marao comes up, China's power projection in the Indian Ocean will stabilise. It will also set China on the course followed in the earlier superpower, Cold War rivalry between the US and the Soviet Union. Both states built a series of naval bases throughout the world for emergency counter-offensive measures. China is embarked on doing the same."
6. These developments concerned the US and drew the US and India closer to try to contain China.
"While the US base in Diego Garcia can launch surprise offensives, the US wants to restrict Chinese presence in the Indian Ocean because of its strategic value.

According to one survey, some $260 billion worth of oil and gas will be shipped through the Indian Ocean by year 2004. The oil route stretching from the Strait of Malacca to the Strait of Hormuz will be at the mercy of any power that dominates the sealanes. A Chinese base in Marao islands puts it in a direct position to influence oil commerce. It is a prospect that daunts India, scares Southeast Asia, and alarms the US." 7. China engaged two US companies and three European companies to survey Marao under the pretext of monitoring the weather and magnetic response of the seabed.

WHO are these companies, we wonder? Profiting from aiding the enemy, harming our national security? SURELY the authorities would know who is on the short list, because these companies would be known to the Pentagon? And yet, is anything done to stop this? We seriously doubt it. It is all part of the dialectic to build up both sides of the conflict. A good sturdy China threat keeps India nice and compliant to the globalist wishes, and whether the threat is real or not, constant references keep everyone on edge.

Death Angel(ina) Jolie calls for "intervention" in Syria

pennyforyourthoughts2 - Sun, 02/19/2012 - 16:21

Intervention of course meaning, bombing to smithereens. Rape. Plunder. Torture.

Seriously, boycott this woman's movies.
She is a tool.
A puppet.
Her puppet masters fill the upper echelons of elitist organizations.
She should be shunned, ignored and completely segregated from the human race.
Perhaps she is a psychopath.
How else to explain her "role" in this world of humans.
"Goodwill Ambassador" for the UN? If goodwill means bringing death, then sure?
Angelina Jolie, why do you want the blood of the innocent on your hands?
Are you pleased now with the results in Libya?
You whored yourself for the warmongers of the world to destroy that nation!
I am wondering when she will call for intervention in the worst human rights abusing nation- western puppet, Saudi Arabia.
Angelina how do the Iraqis like being free of their very lives, their homes, their livelihoods
Angelina Jolie, why do you want the blood of the innocent on your hands.

Death Angel(ina) has been featured previously here on this blog
Angelina Jolie goes where no humanitarian group can go.

Funerals for Syrian Soldiers attacked by NATO backed terrorists

pennyforyourthoughts2 - Sat, 02/18/2012 - 15:27
Take a look at a picture from the funeral today in Damascus. A funeral held under snowy skies.
Were you wondering just who was being buried today? Who were the processions for? I think this information will help you get a better understanding of why Syrian soldiers were present... and how much the western media lies to you.

It was Syrian soldiers being buried.



Above picture taken from this site. Caption underneath reads as follows.

Snow falls as Syrian soldiers carry coffins of their colleagues during a funeral ceremony in Damascus Saturday.

In solemn processions, ten army and law enforcement martyrs were escorted from Tishreen and Zahi Azraq Military Hospitals in Damascus and Lattakia to their final resting place after being targeted by armed terrorist groups while they were in the line of duty at Damascus Countryside, Homs and Idleb."What Syria is facing is fundamentally an effort to divide it and affect its geopolitical place and historic role in the region" Bashir Assad

Quote from here

NOW...Let's talk about what the western main stream lying media is claiming took place at the soldiers funeral in Damascus today.
Rife with spin! Fabrication. Prevarication.
Headlines such as these- or should I drop the n and call them "Head-lies"? It is more suitable!
Syrian forces shoot at protestors
Syrian forces shoot at funeral marchers
Violent protests move closer to those in power
I am sure you have quite literally seen hundreds of head-lies along this mode of spin?

What we are all supposed to believe is Syrian forces opened fire at a funeral procession, "filled with protestors"
A funeral for persons killed during "anti -Assad" protests.
Of course the term "anti-Assad protest"could mean either soldier or armed NATO terrorist right? So the media is not exactly lying? Yet, not exactly telling the truth?
They are letting the reader make run away assumptions based on all the previous propaganda they have been spoon fed.
Nonetheless were being told, the Syrian army opened fire and killed one. Quite a low number isn't it? One would think if the Syrian military opened fire (spin) on a funeral procession the numbers of dead would be much higher?

Syrian forces fire on funeral in Damascus, kill 1

Syrian security forces allegedly fired live rounds and tear gas Saturday at thousands of people marching in a funeral procession.......These thousands of people are being presented via the media as "anti Assad".
In reality they are the wives, mothers, fathers, children friends, neighbours of Syrian soldiers! More likely to be broken hearted. Probably not "anti-assad" or "anti-regime"

The spin of them being "anti-Assad" and the funeral morphing into a protest comes to us from the terrorist/armed destabilizers in Syria.

“It was a huge funeral that turned into a protest,” said the activist, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. “There was no fear among the participants.”

So the "activist" claims?

The activists informs the media the funeral turned into a protest.

The activists tells the media there was no fear amongst the participants.

I would think if the Syrian army, as alleged, "opened fire" that would be a cause fear? No? Yes?

Of course since the funeral attendees were their to honour the Syrian soldiers who had been killed by NATO terrorists, they had nothing to fear from other Syrian soldiers did they?

Syrian soldiers who were present not only to pay their final respects but also to protect the friends and neighbours of the deceased from the very terrorists who had killed their compatriots.

Hence the complete disconnect between the lies of the activist and the reality of the situation.

There is an interesting video, taken by the one of the alleged "activists" Definitely shot from a roof top or some height.




I have watched and re- watched several times.. The video does not show any coffins at the beginning. Coffins are shown in the last ten seconds.
I suspect that this video footage is being taken at the very end of the funeral procession. It appears some of Syria's armed terrorist/NATO destabilizers had placed themselves at the tail end of the funeral procession, in amongst mourners, for a photo-op.Probably with some flags, placards or whatever.

Or worse?

Do you notice all the cars? Most of the procession has moved ahead and the destabilizers are bringing up the rear. They, NATO backed terrorists, may be armed?

It looks as if one, possibly two Syrian soldiers come into the picture. Do they shoot? I can't tell.

Since this is a military funeral it makes sense that the soldier(s) were present to protect the mourners from exactly the kind of action that were in the process of taking place.

Take a gander at the video? See what you think?

Finally- How the western media lies! As much as I try to lay it bare for all, it still is appalling to expose!

Chapter 110: Impossible On Several Levels

Sherlock Holmes and Alderney street - Sat, 02/18/2012 - 06:55
Previous: How Plausible Is That?
"Those towers blew up!""When you say it's impossible," said Mycroft, "what, exactly, do you mean?"

"The official story of the September 11 attacks is impossible on several levels," replied Sherlock. "It doesn't even fit the known facts of the case."

"In what way?" asked his brother.

"Those towers blew up!" said Sherlock. "And the whole world saw video of it happening -- over and over and over. But within minutes, we were being told they had collapsed.

"They didn't collapse -- they disintegrated. Most of the steel and concrete turned to dust and blew away in the wind. Nothing like it has ever happened, before or since, absent explosives. And yet we are supposed to believe these extraordinary 'collapses' were the natural results of the buildings being hit by airplanes, and the resulting fires.

"Building 7, which was not hit by any plane, disintegrated in much the same way, later in the day. And we are supposed to believe that this 'collapse' was also natural, and caused by burning office furniture.

The Pentagon: "a round hole no bigger
than a cruise missile""We are also supposed to believe a jumbo jet hit the Pentagon, making a round hole no bigger than a cruise missile, and that the entire airplane -- wings, engines, tail, everything -- disappeared through that hole and entered the building, where it was vaporized by a fire so intense that it left no idenfiable parts behind. But at the same time we are supposed to believe that the hijackers were identified by DNA found inside the Pentagon.

"How could a fire hot enough to vaporize metal possibly leave human tissue intact? And how could the hijackers' DNA be matched, unless they had previously given DNA samples? The entire story is preposterous, Mycroft. And yet, it remains in circulation. How do you suppose that happens? By accident?"

"If it's not an accident," replied Mycroft, "then it must be very well coordinated. It must encompass whole governments -- not just the parties in power but the opposition parties as well. Otherwise, surely it would be the biggest issue in every election campaign. It must also encompass all manner of security agencies, and even independent investigators."

"Now you're starting to catch on," said Sherlock.

"I am not!" retorted his brother. "I am pointing out the flaw in your argument."

"But please consider the facts." argued Sherlock. "The official story fails because it does not explain the available evidence. But it would fail even if there were no available evidence. Even if we had never seen video of the towers crumbling, even if we had never seen photographs of the hole in the Pentagon, the story would still ring false."

"How so?" asked Mycroft.

Six of the 'suicide hijackers'
were still alive after the attacks. "We were told," replied Sherlock, "that some of the passengers on the doomed flights made cell phone calls to their family members. These calls allegedly gave us the only descriptions of the hijackers. And yet -- as was well known to those working in telecommunications at the time -- cell phones of the day were non-functional at high altitudes. This alone should have put an end to the story. But instead the story was changed, and the calls were said to have been made from air phones.

"Never mind that some of the recipients of these calls had said, 'I knew who it was because I recognized the number on my call display.' None of these people would have recognized the number of an air phone, let alone misinterpret it as the cell phone of a loved one. But that didn't matter. It didn't even matter that the planes in question had no air phones. The story stood, and was spread around the world, while those who challenged it were dismissed as lunatics.

"The FBI released the names and photos of the 19 so-called hijackers. Where did these names and photos come from? Within a few days, half a dozen of these 'suicide hijackers' turned up alive and well. Some said their passports had been stolen, and to any thinking person it was obvious that a massive deception had taken place. But the FBI never wavered. It didn't question the identities of any of the so-called hijackers, or anything else about the story -- at least not in public. Why not?"

"We were told all this was thoroughly investigated," said Mycroft.

"You were told a great many things that were not true," replied Sherlock, "things that could not possibly have been true, things that were known to be untrue at the time. How do you suppose that happened? By accident?"

"You're sounding more and more like a conspiracy theorist," said Mycroft.

Philip Zelikow, who supervised
the 9/11 whitewash, is an expert
in public myth-making."Nonsense!" replied the detective. "I am only pointing out the obvious facts. "The man who directed the 'investigation' was Philip Zelikow, an expert in public myth-making. Unknown to the public, this supposedly independent investigator had very close ties to the White House.

"Zelikow had been part of the 'transition team' which helped put George W. Bush in office, despite his apparently having lost the presidential election of 2000. He had written a book with Bush's National Security Adviser, Condoleezza Rice. He had come to the attention of certain political insiders by writing a paper about catastrophic terrorism, and the political uses to which it could be put.

"Before the investigation even began, Zelikow had crafted an outline of its final report. In the outline, he laid out the entire story, chapter by chapter, complete with section headings and sub-headings. Then he assigned different writers to write specific sections. Nobody ever saw all the evidence. Nobody ever knew the whole story except Zelikow, and his contact in the White House, Bush's top political adviser, Karl Rove.

"The entire '9/11 Commission' was a fraud. Five of the nine commissioners are now on record as saying they didn't get the true story. And that doesn't count one of the original would-be commissioners, who resigned before the whitewash ever got rolling.

"Architects and engineers say the towers could not have collapsed as we were told they did. Pilots say no one could have flown a jumbo jet on the flight path that allegedly struck the Pentagon. Emergency workers at the World Trade Center say they heard bombs going off prior to the buildings 'collapsing.' And in the case of Building 7, some say the area was evacuated several minutes before the explosions began.

"Yet, those who believe Zelikow's impossible story are called experts, and those who question it are ignored if not slandered. And why? By accident? Hardly.

"Are the governments, news media, and security experts engaged in a conspiracy to mislead the public? That may depend on your definition of conspiracy. It's plain that they are working together to mislead us. But are they planning every deceitful move in secret meetings? I don't think so.

"Furthermore, as your own experience shows, it is possible to be engaged in the deception unwittingly. Certainly some of those who have helped to spread these lies were in the same position as you, and did so under the impression that they were speaking the truth. But not all, Mycroft, not by any means."

Iranian Naval Ships enter the Mediterranean- Heading for Syria??

pennyforyourthoughts2 - Fri, 02/17/2012 - 18:10
And more, of course there is more!
Isn't there always?
First the ships in the Mediterranean-

This is eerily reminiscent of a story from last year- which originated in Israel, and seemed quite bogus at that time.
I'm really not sure what to make of it? So you make of it what you will and I will carefully consider it as a possibility. Maybe. Iran and Syria do have naval agreements.....
But, the story isn't getting much coverage. The Israeli press is covering it as is Reuter's.
"Two Iranian naval ships have sailed through Egypt's Suez Canal into the Mediterranean, in a move likely to be keenly watched by Israel.

"Two Iranian ships crossed through the Suez Canal (on Thursday) following permission from the Egyptian armed forces," a source in the canal authority said Friday.

The destroyer and a supply ship could be on their way to the Syrian coast, the source added. Iran and Syria agreed to cooperate on naval training a year ago, and Tehran has no naval agreement with any other country in the region.

It is that "could" part that is irksome. I would think that in order to pass through the Suez canal these two ships destination would be known. Perhaps I am mistaken?



Interesting and I would tend to think this is a good assessment

Lieutenant General Ronald Burgess, Director of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, told a Senate panel on Thursday that barring an unforeseen development like a coup, "Assad will continue to hang in there."

"The Syrian military, despite some desertions (very few) and defections to the armed opposition, (very few) on the whole remains a viable, cohesive and effective force. The military suppresses (armed& violent) unrest throughout the country. The leading opposition umbrella organization, the Syrian National Council, has yet to emerge as a clear or united alternative to the Assad regime and it has not been able to unite Syrians on a strategy for ousting and replacing the regime," Burgess said.

The so called opposition can't rally the Syrian population because they aren't resident Syrians. They live in Britian and France for gods sake! Resident Syrians know what is going on.
And they don't want to be bombed to smithereens and see their nation go the way of Libya.
Except for a minuscule amount of the population who are foolish or blinded by extremist religious beliefs to by into the "regime change" being bought and paid for by NATO and Israel.

It is being reported repeatedly that the Syrian army is shelling Homs. They may well be.

Syria can't allow a chunk of the nation to be carved out by the NATO terrorists.
If they do, this will be the basis for a no fly zone and "humanitarian corridors".
The no fly zone and "humanitarian corridors, which will have nothing to do with anything humane will then be used to obliterate the country, it's infrastructure and kill many, many innocent civilians.

These are that little weasel Sarkozy's own words. He makes it clear that the NATO terrorists aren't getting the job done.
Quoting the weasel as he lies from a joint press conference with the Cameron

We (France & Britain) cannot bring about a Syrian revolution ... if the Syrian revolution does not make an effort to rally together and organize so that we can better help them,” Sarkozy said. He insisted, however, that “the revolution will not be brought about from outside, it will be brought about from the inside.”

You see why I called these words, the words of a liar? We cannot bring about a revolution if the Syrians don't make an effort to rally together and organize so we can better help them. BUT the revolution will be brought about from inside??? Sure sounds to me that despite Sarkozy's lies. Him and Cameron are all about themselves (NATO) bringing about the revolution.

Cameron and Sarkozy pledged that their countries “will continue to increase their engagement with the Syrian opposition"

Since they have been "engaged" with the Syrian opposition all along. I am quite certain they are looking to "increase their engagement".



France is still pushing for "humanitarian corridors"

France wants the UN to consider setting up “humanitarian corridors” in Syria, French Foreign Affairs Minister Alain Juppé said Wednesday.And this!

France on Tuesday set up a million-euro emergency fund for “humanitarian” aid in Syria and is discussing the Arab League plan, which raises the possibility of sending UN troops, with its allies.

France setting up a fund for "humanitarian" aid in Syria? Where have I heard this one before?
Oh, yeah. Libya! Remember? It wasn't that long ago? August 2011

France will place $259 million at the disposal of Libya's National Transition Council (NTC) after un-freezing Libyan assets in the country, Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said on Monday. The NTC has committed to use the funds for humanitarian purposesYou know "humanitarian purposes" Guns, munitions. Bullet proof vests. Bombs. Tools of torture.
Mortar shells. Sniper guns and bullets. Bombs to blow up pipelines. Grenades. And medical equipment to treat THEIR wounded as they kill ordinary Syrians.
Isn''t "humanitarian aid" swell?!?!

Chapter 109: How Plausible Is That?

Sherlock Holmes and Alderney street - Fri, 02/17/2012 - 07:29
Previous: How Many Lies?
Tony Blair led Britain into a war
against Iraq that was 'justified' by lies."Now it's my turn to ask a difficult question," said Mycroft.

"Go ahead," replied Sherlock.

"I find it difficult," said his brother, "to understand how you can be so brilliant and so thick, all at the same time. So I must ask you: Are you serious?"

"Yes, of course," replied the detective. "About bin Laden, you mean?"

"No," answered Mycroft. "About me. What in the world makes you think I could sleep at a time like this?"

"Possibly," said his brother, "because you haven't slept since the middle of last week."

"Bah!" snorted Mycroft. "You've just drawn me face-to-face with the most difficult questions of my life. Tired or not, I surely need to deal with them before I can relax enough to sleep at all."

Sherlock showed a hint of a smile and said, "Ask me anything."

Mycroft paused for a few seconds before speaking. "If what you've just told me is true, the implications are staggering."

"I assure you it is, and they most certainly are," replied Sherlock.

"You're absolutely certain?"

"Completely."

"Well then," continued Mycroft, "how could it be that I have never heard of any of this before now?"

"Until now," replied Sherlock, "you have been tracing an exalted, but very tight, orbit. You live alone, and you spend your leisure time at the Diogenes Club, whose members are forbidden to speak to one another, save in the Visitors Room."

"It is a very peaceful place to sit and read," retorted Mycroft, somewhat defensively. "I am proud to be a founding member."

"And rightly so," continued his brother, "but in all these years you have learned nothing at all from the other members. And aside from your club and your flat, you spend all your other waking hours at work. They not going to tell you the truth at the Foreign Office."

"And why not?" asked Mycroft.

"Because," replied Sherlock, "you are one of the most gifted intelligence analysts in the world. If you knew what was happening, you would inevitably draw the most logical conclusions. And they can't have that. So they feed you fabricated stories, knowing you will follow the trail they have laid out for you, and reach the conclusions they require.

The Downing Street Memos reveal the
purpose of the pre-war 'intelligence.'"You may have heard of the so-called 'Downing Street Memos,' one of which states quite clearly that in the lead-up to the war against Iraq, 'the intelligence' was being 'fixed around the policy.'

"This admission, implicating then-Prime Minister Tony Blair and some of his closest associates, came as a shock to more than a few people. But others knew that such is almost always the case.

"The men who pull the strings, in and behind the government, implement predetermined policies, regardless of incoming 'intelligence.' They care less about reality than about 'managing' your 'perceptions.'

"The only value of 'intelligence,' from their point of view, is that it allows them to claim they know more than the public, and gives them opportunities to find, or invent, pretexts to 'justify' the actions they have already decided to take.

"They give men such as you bogus 'intelligence' to 'analyze,' and the you provide the justification for whatever they wanted to do in the first place. That is how the system works, and why I have wanted you out of there for so long. You are too powerful a force to be used by evil men for evil purposes."

"This may very well be true," replied Mycroft, "but my knowledge of current affairs doesn't all come through the Foreign Office. I don't just sit at the Club and stare out the window.

"I read all the papers, almost every day. And if what you say is true, if the reality of the September 11 attacks is not what we've been told, then this is the story of the century! Surely fame and fortune lie in store for the journalist who exposes the truth of the matter. And yet, no one seems to be chasing the story.

"Where is the Daily Mail on all this? Where is the Guardian? What of the New York Times, the Washington Post, der Spiegel, le Monde?

"If you are right, and the truth about September 11 is being hidden from the public, it's being hidden by all the governments and all the news-gathering organizations in the world. Are the world's governments and news media all colluding on this? They must be, if what you say is true. But how plausible is that?"

"You are asking good questions," responded Sherlock, "but your entire line of questioning is predicated on the assumption that the job of the press is to dig up the truth and serve it to its readers. This view is naive at best. All the major news organizations are owned by powerful financial interests, and no editor is about to bite the hand that pays him.

"As fewer and fewer owners have gained control of more and more of the news media, opportunities and motives for collusion have come more frequently, so that a coordinated blocking of selected stories has become not only plausible, but perhaps even inevitable.

"And yet, even if you believe collusion on this scale to be exceedingly implausible, you must admit that it is possible. And the same cannot be said for the official explanation of the events of September 11."

The PRECARIAT

thirteenthmonkey - Fri, 02/17/2012 - 02:34
The precariat is you and me



Forty years ago, it was widely predicted that by now everybody would be working for income for about 20 hours a week, living in security and in professional positions of some kind. Instead, we have experienced the growth of a new and dangerously angry class, the precariat.

Millions of people across the world, including many Australians, are living and working in economic and social insecurity, many in casual or short-term, low-paid jobs, with contracts they worry about. Their incomes fluctuate unpredictably, they lack benefits that most people used to take for granted.

No paid holidays, no sick leave, no subsidised training, no worthwhile pension to look forward to, and no assurance that if they lose their job they will be able to rely on state benefits or other assistance.

The precariat is a global phenomenon. It is not just a matter of economic insecurity. As bad is the fact that many people have no dignifying occupational identity. They do not feel they are becoming somebody, or doing the types of work they would like or what they had been led to expect when they pursued all those years of schooling. They feel cheated. And what helps define the precariat is a feeling that they must do a lot of work that is not remunerated.

Our labour and economic statistics do not reveal the realities of the precariat. They were designed for another age, and conceal an enormous amount of work that is not treated as of economic value.

In a new book, I have tried to map out the characteristics of the growing precariat. Since writing it, I have been inundated by emails from people identifying themselves as part of the precariat, and have been invited to over 80 venues around the world. Everywhere, people come up to say that they, their children, their relatives or their neighbours are part of it or feel they could be there any day.

The precariat consists of three main groups - those falling out of working-class jobs and communities, those who accept insecurity because they have never had any better, and those who are educated and are experiencing status frustration. The first group tends to want the past back, without any prospect of all those stable jobs returning; the second group, made up mainly of migrants, the disabled, minorities and so on, tends to drift into the margins of society; the third group is what exploded into the streets and squares of great cities last year, in the Occupy movement, in EuroMayDay parades across Europe, in the indignados in Madrid, in Athens and in the Middle East.

Politicians must wake up to the realities of the precariat. Why should they care? First, we are all at risk. Nobody should be smug. Second, anybody in the precariat is vulnerable to recurrent poverty, leading to a loss of capacity to sustain a life of dignity, drifting into debt, in and out of meaningless jobs.

Third, the precariat suffer from the four "A's" . They are anxious, because they face risks everywhere they turn. The biggest source of anxiety is uncertainty. Economists know you cannot insure against uncertainty, because one cannot work out the probability of an adverse event. When one's fate is determined by ecological shocks or by decisions taken on the other side of the world, who is hurt is largely a matter of luck. But we make society worse by spreading fear. We fear being uncompetitive, we fear not being able to meet targets that are unrealistic or unnecessary, we fear being inadequate and being unable to change fast enough.
The precariat also suffer from what sociologists call anomie, a feeling of despair of escape from the insecurities and meaninglessness.

This goes with what I have called the precariatised mind, a fancy term for a pressurised feeling that we must do a lot of activities merely to keep in touch, in order to minimise our chances of disaster. We flit, doing a little of this and a little of that, checking emails in a vain hope, talking to friends online who are just names to give us a feeling of relevance. We look for instant stimulation and gratification. We try to keep options open. All this comes together in what psychologists call an attention deficit syndrome. If we are not careful, we lose the capacity to concentrate.

Then there is the sense of alienation. The precariat tends to think they are not doing what they would like to do, or what they are capable of doing, while having to do a lot of what they do not want to do. They feel underemployed and overemployed, without being in control of their time. Alienation feeds into a lack of empathy with others.

Finally, the anxiety, anomie and alienation are leading to a rising sense of anger. The precariat sees winners on screens, billboards and newspapers, celebrities and absurdly affluent rogues striding the globe with their millions and billions. Meanwhile, they are stressed, and become intolerant towards others - strangers - unless they have the education to see the futility and inappropriateness of that reaction.

The anger is feeding a growing protest movement. Last year was a harbinger of more days of rage. This year and going forward we will see the precariat taking shape as a political force, demanding political parties and governments respond to the insecurities and to their aspirations for a better working identity, through having greater control of their time and more access to the wealth that currently goes to a tiny minority. The anger will surely translate into a progressive agenda for a better society. Watch it grow.

Guy Standing is the author of The Precariat - The New Dangerous Class (Bloomsbury), and is Professor of Economic Security, University of Bath, England. He is presenting the Sydney Ideas lecture at the University of Sydney on Thursday 9 February, at 6pm

"Rebels" defy Assad and carve out their own piece of Syria

pennyforyourthoughts2 - Thu, 02/16/2012 - 12:44
Short on time again today....so I just want to post this story. I had bookmarked it last week.
What makes it so very interesting is that it spells out exactly what the NATO backed terrorists have been up to in Syria. What their agenda is. How they are accomplishing it.
The NATO backed terrorists are indeed defying Assad and 99 percent of Syrians.
They are attempting to carve out a piece of Syria for themselves. A move very, very reminiscent of the Libyan scenario. But then I suppose it did come from the same NATO playbook, right?
"How to destroy a Secular nation and bring in Fundamentalism backed by the West"
You know, that playbook? See Egypt. See Libya. Now look at Syria... Quoting from this article
Richard Spencer near Homs
Let's see what he is reporting?

"On Thursday night, after a day-long battle, its defenders managed to seize a police station and barracks of the Mukhabarat, the military intelligence. They blasted rocket propelled grenades at the buildings until the sides caved"
The author cleverly fails to mention who it is these "rebels" are battling? It looks to be law enforcement officials and soldiers. He reports the "rebels" are using rocket propelled grenades so extensively that the "buildings cave in"
But doesn't bother to mention or report on who is supplying all this weaponry to the "rebels"


"But I know the FSA ambushed a van with troops inside. And last night al-Dounia state television said seven men including a secret police major were killed here by armed gangs. So we know that.”He reports on ambushes on vans with troops in them. All of them killed.
He again does not inquire on who is supplying the means to this end. Weapons or logistics.

And this odd sentence?

At the rally, a Christian is produced to show that everyone is united.A "christian" is produced? Was he conjured or created? How did he KNOW this was a "christian"? Did he have his special christian tattoo? This is what is passing a serious reporting on the terrorism that is being conducted against a nation and it's people. "A christian is produced"

In truth the buffer zone the rebels have created is one that it is still in the making. It is a small slice of free Syria but it is not Benghazi, the coastal strip of Libya that created a revolution and became a base for foreign assistance.
I am sure the terrorists that NATO is arming are intending to keep working at it.
And "reporters" such as the one that wrote this laughable article will keep putting trash out for the gullible.

As for the liberation of Libya, by those NATO backed terrorists...
That is all going so well for the populace of Libya.. really well.
Liberation-Freedom. Only now the NATO backed terrorists that were given carte blanche to destroy Libya and pillage the country are being called "Libyan militias"
And they are torturing and terrorizing the people
Libyan Militias Accused of Targetting and Torturing Libyan People

“Militias in Libya are largely out of control and the blanket impunity they enjoy only encourages further abuses and perpetuates instability and insecurity.”

Impunity, should be immunity. Thanks to the NATO nations!

At a detention centre in Misurata, an AI delegate reported witnessing armed militia members beating and threatening some detainees whose release had been ordered. An older detainee from Tawargha was cowering, squatting against the wall, and crying as he was being kicked and threatened by a militia member who told AI that “those from Tawargha will not be released or we’ll kill them”.

In an interrogation centre in Misurata and Tripoli Amnesty International said it found detainees who interrogators had tried to conceal and who had been severely tortured - one so badly that he could hardly move or speak.

Amnesty International you make me ill. You sowed the seeds for this. And still you cover for that which you aided, by spinning such bullshit as I will quote below

Donatella Rovera, Senior Crisis Response Adviser at Amnesty International said:

"A year ago Libyans risked their lives to demand justice. Today their hopes are being jeopardised by lawless armed militias who trample human rights with impunity"

Way to spin an armed intervention. which Amnesty aided with, to implement regime change


Take 9 minutes to watch the video as it relates to both Libya and Syria

Local Law Enforcement Trained in 'Terrorism' by Anti-Muslim Psychological Warfare 'Non-Profit'

kennysideshow - Thu, 02/16/2012 - 11:15

In a county designated by the hard right wing factions of the police state as the southern 'ground zero' in the psyops of Islamophobia, guess who is training the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office about Islam and the threats of terrorism? If you guessed yet another anti-Muslim non-profit group, one of many making millions through fearmongering and lies, you would be correct.
A former FBI agent who claimed that Nashville mosques do not have First Amendment rights is providing training to the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office about Islam and terrorist threats.

John Guandolo, vice president of the Arlington, Va.,-based Strategic Engagement Group, is leading the training being held this week at the World Outreach Church in Murfreesboro.

"They do not have a First Amendment right to do anything," Guandolo said. 
A local television station was  physically prevented from filming a free seminar at the faux Christian, zionist oriented mega World Outreach Church. The senior pastor, G. Allen Jackson, studied at Hebrew University in Jerusalem in the 1980s. Pastor Jackson now leads Christian pilgrimages to Israel several times a year, was instrumental in bringing the U.S. office of the International Christian Embassy-Jerusalem to Murfreesboro and has been recognized by the The Knesset Christian Allies Caucus for his continued support.
Channel 4 was allowed to listen to him {Guandolo} but could not record it. Guandolo talked about Hamas and its plan to destroy Western civilization from within, and spoke of Islamic centers as potential military compounds.

Tennessee Freedom Coalition, which openly opposed the new mosque, hired the Washington-based nonprofit.…Lou Ann Zelenik, of the Tennessee Freedom Coalition, which paid for this week’s training, said law enforcement officials need to know the truth about Islam and terrorism.

“We don’t need political correctness when it comes to the training our police and sheriffs,” she said. “This is accurate information. It’s not part of any agenda.”The World Outreach Church in Murfreesboro,  has been a vocal opponent of the new Islamic Center being built in Rutherford County.
The Rutherford County Sheriff defended the 'terrorism' training by saying "Our officers came to us wanting this training because of the Mosque." The question is why did he pick this particular warmongering group for the training and who is pulling the strings?

Strategic Engagement Group should be banned from any of their propagandized training but who would stop this from happening again? At least they are not going to be involved when Middle Tennessee police officers and deputies will gather in Nashville in two weeks for free training on how to fight terrorism. Still, this event will focus on the wrong enemies of the state instead of the true threats to this country ... Wall Street/International bankers and the Federal Reserve, Israel and their lobbyists, The Pentagon and war machine contractors and their lobbyists, corporate degenerates, Homeland Security, the CIA, the NSA,  media shills and bought/blackmailed politicians.The creme de la creme of the sociopaths and psychopaths will not be discussed.


A simple reminder is that the whole Islamophobia psychological warfare is a direct result of the false flag of 9/11 where no Muslim hijackers were involved and virtually every sentence of the 'official' story is a lie.  An end to the 9/11 lies not only ends the Islamophobia industry but will also put a halt to the wars for Israel. Easier said than done but we are not giving up.

poster child for paradise

The Maldives is the tiniest Muslim nation on the whole earth, and it's in the middle of the ocean, a tropical paradise.... or something else....?


http://www.diving-world.com/imagescompressed/maldives/MaldiveMap.jpg
You can see from the following map that the Maldives are strategically located roughly equidistant from the Strait of Hormuz in Iran and the Strait of Malacca in Indonesia.


CLICK TO ENLARGEhttp://caqijeq.host56.com/arabian-sea-gulf.php

The Maldives are also north of Diego Garcia, an island whose native population was completely displaced, by the UK, to make room for the US military.



Unlike Diego Garcia, however, the Maldives straddle many profitable shipping routes.


http://www.shiplink.lk/srilanka-maps.htmlLOOK AT ALL THAT TRAFFIC.

We are talking a small country of little islands, with a population of about 300,000 and another 80,000 expat workers, according to the US State Department. A country with a tourism economy catering to the rich and famous. A country of islands straddling some of the most profitable and important shipping routes on the planet. It's not exactly off the beaten path, but it is very exclusive. You need a lot of money to vacation there.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes on their honeymoon in the Maldiveshttp://maldivescomplete.com/blogs/maldivescomplete/archive/2009/02/05/best-of-the-maldives-celebrity-watching-reethi-rah.aspx

Just last October various celebrities traveled to the Maldives for a "Slow Life Symposium," where they discussed climate change and carbon footprints.

"[He said]...it was easier to educate a few billionaires than the entire population of a country such as the US, distracted from the issue by Xboxes and cable TV. “Billionaires have a vested interest in keeping the [planet sustainable], because they have enough money enjoy the planet,” he suggested." ~ UK environmentalist Jonathan Porritt 
Just for context, Mr. Porritt advises Prince Charles and believes that there are way too many humans. We guess he is fine with the idea that the planet should be kept nice for the billionaires.

The president of the Maldives, Mohamed Nasheed, seemed totally on board with the whole climate change program. He was at the meeting too.

“For us, this is not just an environmental issue. We need to become carbon neutral even if there was no such thing as climate change, simply because it is more economically viable. We spend more than 14 percent of our GDP on fossil fuel energy, which is more than our education and health budget combined.”
The most important adaptation measure, Nasheed said, “is democracy. You have to have a responsive government to discuss this issue. When I do something people do not believe in, they shout at me. But they are not doing this on this issue.”
The government had reformed its economic system and introduced new taxes “so we can fend for ourselves. We cannot endlessly rely on the international community.”
Even if there was no such thing as climate change, Nasheed supports carbon neutrality, ie: carbon tax credits, ie: a globalist agenda. But Nasheed, elected in 2008, faced a parliament stacked with the opposition. Gridlock ensued, and he not been able to accomplish much. Which is a shame because evidently, the Maldives might be one of the most important places in the world to the globalists, a poster child for paradise.

Tim Smit of the Eden Project also attended the Slow Life Symposium and said:

“The Maldives has captured the imagination, and the elected political elite are showing charisma and leadership on the issue [of climate change]. The danger is that we listen to too many middle aged white people, and miss the point. I see an incredible moment when the story of Maldives becomes the story of us all – but it needs to be delivered with a pirate grin that says f*** it, we’re going to do this thing. I hate idealists. I like unreasonable people who do things.”
There was, Smit said, a danger that the Maldives would lose sight of its goal, and “lose the moment when the Maldives could become the most important place in world. The goal is open but the moment will be gone, and suddenly the bright future is no longer there, just a job – and not a job in the spotlight.”
The Maldivian people needed to be given the independence to make their own decisions, such as installing solar, and given control so that they knew the impact of flipping the light switch.
“Trust in the people of the Maldives to get excited of a picture of the Maldives reborn,” Smit suggested.But something happened, and president Mohamed Nasheed was just overthrown last week, in the Maldives, and various US State Department officials rushed to intervene. At first they expressed support for Nasheed's vice president, Mohammed Waheed Hassan Manik, but then a day later the situation looked murky.

Poor Victoria Nuland, who found the vote to admit Palestine to UNESCO "regrettable," and "premature," had to walk back her support for the new Maldivian president after one day.

“I got myself in a place yesterday that was not borne out by the facts. We will work with the government of the Maldives, but believe that the circumstances surrounding the transfer of power need to be clarified. And we also suggest that all parties agree to an independent mechanism to do that.” Oh dear.

Top ten facts about the Maldives crisis.


^^^^^^^

The Maldives has a trafficking problem. All those islands make the nation porous. As many as 35% of the youth are hooked on drugs.

The Maldives has struggled to bring the use of narcotics among it’s youth under control. The narcotics trade is big business and the law enforcement authorities have few answers due to the easy and varied accessibility to the myriad of atolls. The number of youth using narcotics is deemed to be as high as thirty five percent. The Maldives attracts a near full complement of tourists at the high end but the small local population have not enjoyed the fruits of this boom though the blame cannot be laid at the feet of deposed President  Nasheed. It was Gayoom who set the trend to avoid the trickle down of  benefits from the tourism boom. The Maldives was the beneficiary of the lackadaisical attitude to tourism by Sri Lankan politicians of yesteryear.
Trafficking, as we know, indicates the presence of organized crime.

We have discussed before that traffickers use existing networks for multiple products. If the network has been set up for drugs, it can also be used for humans, for guns, for anything. By its nature the organized crime network is corrupt. The people involved don't care what they traffic as long as they continue to benefit ($$$). They have economies of scale.

If the Maldives has trafficking problems, and the Maldives is a hotspot for celebrities and wealthy people, and the Maldives is strategically located for the US military and many profitable shipping routes, we can put two and two and two together and infer that the Maldives may be a hub of organized crime? As such, it would need to be under the control of friendly leaders.

Was President Nasheed friendly to organized crime? How friendly?

Very friendly. Evidently he is a pet of the West.


Rehmat's World: Maldives: 'Pro-Israel President booted out'

Mohamed Nasheed, a secularist politician in a 100% Sunni Muslim population (400,000), is a darling of the West. In order to get the support of western anti-Muslim Zionists’ – Nasheed now claims that he was dumped on gunpoint by the pro-Islamist security forces for ordering the arrest of Chief Justice of Criminal Court, Abdullah Mohamed. Nasheed claims that Abdullah Mohamed had released one of Nasheed’s critics, Dr. Mohamed Jameel Ahmad. Dr. Jameel Ahmad was arrested for accusing Nasheed’s government being cahoot with the Zionist regime and that Israel tourists were corrupting country’s Islamic culture.
(Reminds us of Goa, India.)

Continuing, and worth reading in full, including the links:

The diplomatic relations between Maldives and the Zionist entity were established in 1965 – but severed by the president Maumoon Abdul Gayoom in 1980 who after deposing Sultan Mohamed Farid I, declared the Island nation as a republic. The links were re-established on September 25, 2009 by the new president Mohamed Nasheed. Israeli military officials were reinvited to train Maldives’ security agencies. In 2010, Islamic group protested against the arrival of Israeli surgeons to work at the government run Indhra Gandhi hospital. They claimed Israeli doctors are notorious in organ harvesting for Israel.
Nasheed who initially headed a colliation government, later turned into a civilian dictator. He awarded millions of dollars of contracts to his family members and close friends and wealthy supporters. Nasheed’s family has fleed the Island and country’s highest court has issued warrant for his arrest.
...Maldives opposition party, Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP), has always criticized Nasheed’s ruling MDP for its relation with the Zionist entity. The leader of DRP’s religious wing asserts that it is “expressly forbidden” to give any assistance to Israel as “they forced Palestinians out of their homes and brutalised them only because they say ‘We are Muslims’.”
...The Zionist regime has issued travel warning to Jewish tourists against visiting Maldives which is turning into a battle-ground for the US-China domination of the Indian Ocean.




^^^^^^^

Nasheed was on board with climate change and carbon neutrality.

The Maldives also had a special role to play applying pressure on Iran.


In 2011 the UN appointed Ahmed Shaheed of the Maldives as special rapporteur on human rights to Iran. However, he has been denied access to the country. Source: Financial Times 2/12/12

Lack of access apparently did not prevent Ahmed Shaheed from releasing a report in October 2011 alleging that rights violations had increased in Iran. Iran denounced the report as full of lies. Source: Press TV 2/3/12

And the Maldives judiciary is of special concern to some people in London.

Just before the coup, MPs in the UK raised alarms about the judiciary in the Maldives:

02 February 2012, Male’; Members of Parliament in Britain have expressed their growing concern over the state of the judiciary in the Maldives, labelling sitting judges 'under qualified, often corrupt and hostile to the democratically elected regime'.
In a recent debate in Parliament, John Glen, an MP from Prime Minister David Cameron's ruling Conservative Party, called on the Leader of the House to urgently make time for a debate on judicial reform in the Maldives.
It certainly seems to us an ODD CONCERN for UK MPs. What could be so urgent about judicial reform in the Maldives, so urgent to David Cameron's Conservative Party?
The latest protests in this Indian Ocean nation known for its lavish beach resorts erupted after Nasheed ordered the military to arrest Abdulla Mohamed, the chief judge of the Criminal Court. The judge had ordered the release of a government critic he said had been illegally detained. Source: Daily Mail, 2/8/12The judge is allegedly close to former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, who ruled for 30 years until being defeated by Nasheed in 2008.

The judge ordered the release of a Mohamed Jameel Ahmed. 

Mr Jameel, who served in the cabinet of former President Gayoom, was arrested several times after issuing detailed pamphlets accusing Mr Nasheed of undermining Islam by conspiring with Christians and Jews.There's a lot more to the story of the Maldives.

What exactly goes on there on those private islands with the rich tourists?



Nasheed was a star just last year, ready to save the planet. Now he's been thrown out on his ear?


The new unity government is now backed by the UN and the US, and Nasheed has been given four days to join.


Updates to follow.

Book: Terrorism & the Illuminati by David Livingstone

pennyforyourthoughts2 - Wed, 02/15/2012 - 12:23
Just something quick today....

First let me thank Freethinker for bringing this book to my attention.




Perhaps you may be interested in getting a copy for themselves? You can.
I haven't read it yet, but, intend too.
I come away with the impression after having read the contents below that this book may just tie a lot of loose ends up. See if this description whets your whistle?
You can get the book at the above link

Contrary to myth being fabricated, Islam does not pose a threat to the West. Rather, Islamic “terrorist” organizations have been created to serve Western imperialistic objectives. These groups are intertwined with Western power through a network of occult secret societies. This relationship dates back to sixth century BC, and the birth of the Kabbalah, in Babylon; a plot to seek world domination through the use of magic and deception.

Herod the Great incepted a series of cooperative dynastic relationships. Their first conspiracy: to corrupt the emerging Christian movement, imposed upon the Roman Empire as Catholicism, with which they would struggle ever since for supremacy over Western civilization.

During the Crusades, these dynastic families associated with their counterparts in the East, members of the heretical Ismaili Muslims of Egypt, known as the Assassins. Templars were believed to have "rescued" a number of these "Eastern Mystics", and brought them to Scotland, being the basis Scottish Rite Freemasonry. The legend also led to the formation of the "Asiatic Brethren", founded by followers of the infamous Jewish false-messiah, Shebbetae Zevi. The Asiatic Brethren then became the successors of the Illuminati, and became involved in the development of Egyptian Rite Freemasonry.

With Napoleon’s conquest of Egypt, Freemasons in his army reconnected with their brethren in Egypt, sparking a relationship that was pivotal to the development of the Occult Revival of the late nineteenth century.

These associations were part of a grand strategy, as outlined by Albert Pike, who originally devised a plot for three world wars, culminating in a third against the Muslim world. However, because the Islamic world had been successfully dismantled, both through the instigations of the West, and by way of their own corruption, they were incapable of mobilizing any kind of threat. It therefore had to be contrived.

This was the agenda of the Oxford Movement, to spread Scottish Rite Freemasonry in the Middle East, headed by Lord Palmerston, Benjamin Disraeli and Edward Bullwer-Lytton, a leading occult figure, as head of the SRIA, or English Rosicrucians, which evolved directly from the Asiatic Brethren.

The agent of this strategy was a notorious impostor by the name of Jamal ud Din al Afghani, who became the founder of what is called the Salafi "reform" movement of Islam. According to K. Paul Johnson, it was Afghani, as head of the occult Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, or HB of L, who was responsible for teaching Helena Blavatsky her central doctrines. Helena P. Blavatsky, the famous medium and mystic, was the godmother of the New Age movement, whose books are considered the "bibles" of Freemasonry. Numerous other leading occultists affiliated with the English Rosicrucians and Egyptian Rite Freemasonry travelled to Egypt at the time, and on their return, established branches of the HB of L, out of which emerged the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO), the most notorious member of which was Aleister Crowley.

The Nazis were the result of a merging of the O.T.O of Crowley and the Thule Gesselschaft of Germany. It is presumably for this reason that Hitler, when he wished to create an arm of German Intelligence in Egypt, contacted a leading Salafi and Freemason, named Hasan al Banna. With the demise of the Nazis following WWII, control of the organization was transferred to the CIA. It was its eventual head, Allen Dulles who spearheaded the move to hire ex-Nazis to train the terrorists.

In 1954, after it was discovered that the Muslim Brotherhood was responsible for an attack on his life, President Gamal Nasser of Egypt ordered a crackdown. Fleeing members of the Muslim Brotherhood were then shuttled to the CIA’s ally, Saudi Arabia.

The Salafi movement has since come to be spearheaded by Saudi Arabia, and identified as one and the same as the heresy of Wahhabism. Wahhabism was created by the British, in the eighteenth century to undermine the Ottoman Empire, and to achieve Western control of the world’s primary oil resource. Today, the promotion of Wahhabism is part of a larger Western agenda, involving the CIA, to denigrate Islam. According to William Engdahl, it was Henry Kissinger who orchestrated the Oil Crisis of 1973. The subsequent wealth achieved by Saudi Arabia then served as a hidden slush fund for CIA covert operations.

When John Loftus, a Justice Department official in the eighties, was permitted to peruse classified government documents, he discovered that the British Secret Service convinced American intelligence that the Arab Nazis of the Muslim Brotherhood would be indispensable as “freedom fighters” in preparation for the next major war, which was anticipated against the Soviet Union.

And so, when the Americans wished to lure the Soviets into their own version of Vietnam, they did so by funding factions of the Muslim Brotherhood in Afghanistan. Financed and coordinated through the assistance of the Pakistani secret service, the ISI, it became the largest CIA covert operation in history.

It was all part of the larger the Iran-Contra Operation. Through the devious activities of the Aspen Institute and the Club of Rome, in collaboration with the Muslim Brotherhood, British agent the Ayatollah Khomeini was installed in Iran. The Americans then began illegally trading arms with the country, proceeds of which were used to fund the right-wing Contra thugs of Nicargua, in return for cocaine which sparked America's crack epidemic. These funds, in addition to growing heroin trade in Afghanistan, were used to fund the US's covert war in Afghanistan.

Through this strategy, not only did the Americans succeed in bankrupting the Soviet Union, but they also managed to create a budding network of Islamic terrorists, brainwashed in the radical ideologies of Wahhabism and Salafism, who dispersed across the world, and who were then blamed as responsible for the great false flag operation known as 9/11, which allowed its hidden planners to embark on their War on Terror, Samuel Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations", or the beginnings of Pike's WWIII.

Actor Ed Asner on upcoming 9/11 movie & FALSE FLAG...and Iran network "news" propaganda in high gear (PLUS: GOP election fraud)

bigdanblogger - Wed, 02/15/2012 - 10:28
Navy Seal Warns False Flag is Coming: Ed Asner Reports



Surprise, Surprise: Navy Seals Don't Want To Be Sacrificial Lambs In New False Flag

Army officer whistleblower says we're being LIED to by the government, pentaCON, & media about the Afghanistan War:

The Afghanistan Report the Pentagon Doesn't Want You to Read



“See Something Say Something” Campaign Could Allow People to Label ANY AMERICAN a Suspected “Terrorist” … Just Like in Nazi Germany or Stasi East Germany


Iran "news" propaganda in high gear:

ABC:



CNN:



FOX BLOCKBUSTER: U.S. senators (working for Israel?), led off by Agent of Israel Joe LIEberman, want to bomb Iran (for Israel). These guys are TRAITORS to a foreign country. Israel OWNS the U.S. government. Notice the guy with the accent is IN ISRAEL:



President Obama Rejects the Narrow, Dogmatic Views of the Jedi



Now PLEASE watch this movie, it's about how these same GOONS cheerleaded us into the Iraq & Afghanistan (undeclared) "wars", the media is IN BED (EMBED) WITH THE GOVERNMENT as their propaganda CHEERLEADER:

WEAPONS OF MASS DECEPTION (MOVIE):



The Mainstream Media: AMERICA'S #1 ENEMY -



Many have compared the coordinated propaganda campaign now being disseminated about The Iranian Threat to that which preceded the Iraq War, but there is one notable difference.

Iran Falsely Charged with India and Georgia Attacks


Notice you get the REAL SCOOP on non-major network news. That is why our government is continually passing laws to try and reign in non-network REAL NEWS on the internet and independent non-corporate news:









Who Carried Out the Terrorist Car Bombings in India, Thailand and Georgia? Iran … Or Someone Else? U.S. and Israel Point Towards Iran … But Did They Do It?

American media leading the way pushing for war with Iran:



Pentagon wants $3 billion for the War in Iraq that we thought was over




And Agent for Israel Joe LIEberman is right up front trying to control the internet and blame "the terrorists", but he really just wants you to get your "news" from ANBCBSNNX. As you watch LIEberman, picture ahead of time that he works for ISRAEL and NETANYAHU is really saying this and Israel/Netanyahu wrote this "CYBER BILL":

THE CYBER SECURITY ACT BY ISRAELI AGENT JOE LIEBERMAN:



Notice Joe LIEberman brings up 9/11 a lot...because he KNOWS 9/11 was an inside job for a fake "war on terror".

Watch these videos I put together, I post this a lot and it's very popular. Do YOU think these buildings fell like this due to "jet fuel and gravity"??? Look above at all the LIES the government, media, & pentaCON have told us. Do you think they told us the truth about 9/11?



NATIONALISTIC FAITH is greater than religion and causes us not to look at evidence right before our very eyes that our government is committing STATE CRIMES AGAINST DEMOCRACY:



PROFESSIONAL PSYCHOLOGISTS EXPLAIN:




And if you're scratching your head, asking yourself, "How are these guys like LIEberman getting in office and no one likes them? How can congress continually introduce legislation not FOR us, but AGAINST us? How can these people be our representatives when they're not representing us?" Watch this: ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES -





Anthony Antonello of Pittston, Pa., writes: A VOTE FOR SANTORUM OR NEWT IS A MATHEMATICALLY WASTED VOTE:

No matter what the media wants you to believe, It’s already a two-man race. Of the 2,286 total Republican delegates, 1,144 are needed to win nomination. In five (5) States: Virginia, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee and Illinois, Gingrich and Santorum are not even on the ballot. That’s 564 delegates that they cannot get. After South Carolina, only 59 delegates have been allocated to the 4 candidates. Mitt Romney has 39 of those. This means Santorum or Gingrich has to pick up 1,144 delegates from the remaining 1,683. Let’s say that Paul only picks up 20% of the total number of delegates–I happen to believe he will do much better–but let’s pick 20%. That’s 457 delegates for Paul. Add that to the 564 that Newt and Santorum won’t have a shot at and now there are 1,021 delegates that Santorum and Gingrich have no chance of getting. Subtract... that 1,021 from the total 2,286 and you’re left with 1,265 delegates. That means that Gingrich and Santorum, one or the other, have to pick up over 90% of the available delegates to get the nomination. So, essentially, we’re down to Paul and Romney. A vote for Gingrich and Santorum is a wasted vote!
You're watching STOLEN ELECTIONS from state to state, the GOP primaries:

CNN accidentally shows that the GOP primary "election" is being stolen right in front of everyone's eyes, from state to state

“Truth is treason in an empire of lies.” – Ron Paul

Maddow: is GOP primary election "RIGGED" against Ron Paul?



Maine GOP Commits Massive Election Fraud in State Caucuses; Paul Supporters Justifiably Outraged. Republican election fraud epidemic continues...

Potential malfeasance beyond simply ignoring voters who have yet to cast their vote. It suggests the Maine GOP deliberately falsified the numbers they reported last Saturday.

Maine numbers don't add up!



REPUBLICAN MEN HAVE HEARING ON WOMEN'S CONTRACEPTION (NO WOMEN ALLOWED): 


WATCH LIVE: House Republican MEN hold hearing on WOMEN's contraception

Fox Pundit Says Women In The Military Should ‘Expect’ To Be Raped

REPORT: By A Nearly 2 To 1 Margin, Cable Networks Call On Men Over Women To Comment On Birth Control

Democratic Women Boycott House Contraception Hearing After Republicans Prevent Women From Testifying

PLUNGER - UNCLOGGING THE TRUTH


Obviously the CIA could emulate the tactics of the real Anonymous at any time to achieve any goal it chooses. Until we see the documentary evidence - revealed by Anonymous - that Netanyahu is blackmailing the US Government re it's direct role as Israel's co-conspirator in 9/11 - it remains hard to believe that this is all legitimate hacking on behalf of the cause of truth and freedom. Nothing will stop this push toward fascism faster than the evidence of the greatest crime ever committed - revealed to the world. Anonymous would serve as the perfect "Pied Piper" for the CIA, if they were hoping to have all would-be hackers against them, self-identify.

Anonymous took down cia.gov — RT

The Israeli/Political establishment in the US couldn't tolerate the Judge's over-the-top endorsement of Ron Paul as the only choice for lovers of Liberty. The enemy of liberty in the United States is the Zionist cabal controlling the media and politics and banking. THEY are the ones who provided the evidence of this fact by demanding that "Freedom Watch" be eliminated. When you expose the truth of the powerful cabal and their war against freedom, and that very Zionist cabal has you removed from the airwaves, the direct evidence of the Judge's contentions is self-evident. The word CONSPIRACY must be used to define this act. There is a conspiracy against truth and freedom - and the co-conspirators are Zionists. One man, Netanyahu, could very well have made the call to have the Judge's show eliminated. That's all it would take.



Why Has the Government Story about Who Ordered the UndieBomber to Attack the US Changed?

http://www.emptywheel.net/2012/02/11/why-has-the-government-story-about-who-ordered-the-undiebomber-to-attack-the-us-changed/

From the comments:

As just a side note, Dr. Simon Perry’s CV at the Policing and Homeland Security Studies program at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem says this:

“Co-Director of the program, holds a PhD. in Criminology from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel. Dr. Perry is a retired officer in the Israeli National Police (INP), who served for 30 years specializing in Intelligence – Gathering and Operations. Dr. Perry served as head of European Operations of the INP between 1987-1991 and as the INP Police Attaché to the US & Canada between 2003-2007 at the rank of Brigadier General.

Dr. Simon Perry is currently a Professor in the Graduate School at Hebrew University’s Institute of Criminology in Jerusalem. He has extensive experience teaching and training intelligence and law enforcement agencies worldwide in the areas of “Policing Terrorism”, “Homeland Security”, “International Organized Crime” and “Drug Trafficking”…”

Terror Narrative invented by Israeli Agent.

THE SHOE BOMBER AND THE UNDERWEAR BOMBER WERE BOTH ISRAELI MOSSAD / SHIN BET "SECURITY" OPERATIONS...JUST LIKE 9/11

GOT TOTAL ISRAELI INSIDE JOB TO SNEAK WOULD-BE TERRORIST THROUGH ISRAELI-CONTROLLED AIRPORT SECURITY - AND THEN HAVE ISRAELI AGENT EXPLAIN IT AWAY?

Israeli firm blasted for letting would-be plane bomber slip through

http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/israeli-firm-blasted-for-letting-would-be-plane-bomber-slip-through-1.261107

ISRAEL IS A TERRORIST STATE.

http://www.sott.net/articles/show/202285-Underwear-Bomber-Redux-Was-Mutallab-An-Israeli-Secret-Weapon-

Given the Mossad's free reign over its little "kingdom" within Amsterdam Schiphol, coupled with the fact that Israeli security firm ICTS is in charge of the regular security operation there, it's worth reflecting upon a couple of other incidents in recent years. Before the Underwear Bomber came the Shoe Bomber:

Six months prior to Reid's near shoe bombing of American Airlines flight 63 from Paris to Miami in December 2001, while memories of 9/11 were still fresh in everyone's mind, Reid attempted to board an El Al flight from Schiphol to Tel Aviv.

Reid was taken aside by El Al security and identified as a terrorist suspect. Reid paid for a one-way ticket with cash and would not reveal what he planned to do in Israel.

However, rather than turning Reid into Dutch security for further action, he was allowed to board the El Al flight by Israel's Shin Bet security so his movements during his five days in Israel could be monitored.

Six months later, Reid attempted to ignite his shoe on the flight from Paris to Miami. Israel had not informed British, American, or any other security agency of the concerns about Reid.
Reid's aunt, Claudette Lewis who raised Reid in south London, was quoted as saying she believed her nephew had been "brainwashed."

Reid later said El Al failed to detect that he had explosives in his shoes on the flight to Tel Aviv, an amazing revelation considering the Israeli airline's tight security.

The links between El Al security and Mossad are extremely close with abundant cross-pollination of senior personnel back and forth.

The Global Land Grab

freedominourtime - Tue, 02/14/2012 - 17:54

Retaliation: Peter Doan Van Vuon's wife examines the rubble of their demolished home.
In Vietnam, Peter Doan Van Vuon, a farmer who foughtback when police came to confiscate his farm, is widely regarded as a hero.His neighbors have actually considered building a statue in his honor. In theUnited States, he would almost certainly be dead. 
 The strike team that assaulted Vuon’s 40-hectare fish farmin Hai Phong on January 5 did demolish the family’s modest two-story home,forcing them to live in a makeshift shelter fashioned from a tarp. On previousperformance it’s reasonable to say that their counterparts in the employ of theRegime in Washington would have made sure to incinerate the family as well.
 The raiders – roughly 100 police and soldiers -- didn’texpect resistance when they arrived to evict the 49-year-old Vuon and hisfamily and seize the property. Vuon’s wife, Ngyuen, had just returned from droppingoff the kids at school when the strike team arrived. Rather than submittingmeekly to the invaders, the Vuon family fought back, using improvised pelletguns and land mines. Nobody was killed or seriously injured, but the armoredassailants – six of whom suffered trivial wounds – were forced to retreat.
 In the United States, Vuon -- assuming that he survived the fire-bombing that appearsto be the Regime’s preferred tactical endgame in standoffs of this kind -- would have been execrated as a would-be "cop killer." Although he and several relatives were arrested, thestate-run media in Communist Vietnam “have openly sympathized with him ininvestigative reports,” notes the AP. “Their dispatches have alleged that HaiPhong officials lied about details of the eviction. They also have said thefamily was cheated in 1993 when they were given a lease of only 14 yearsinstead of what should have been 20 years.”
 More remarkable still is the fact that Prime Minister NguyenTan Dung intervened to investigate the matter. After the inquiry concluded that local authorities broke the law by attempting toconfiscate Vuon’s land, he ordered that the officials responsible for thedestruction of the family’s home be suspended and investigated for possiblecriminal prosecution. 
 In Vietnam, the government claims ownership of all landwhile issuing long-term land grants to farmers. In 1993, Vuon used his lifesavings to buy and reclaim a small tract of swampland, eventually establishinga small but profitable fish farm.  
 In 2009, the Hai Phong citygovernment suddenly “discovered” that Vuon’s land grant had expired and announcedits intention to confiscate the property without compensation in order to sellit to land developers. When Vuon filed a lawsuit against the seizure, the courtpromised to let them keep the land if he dropped the case. This was a ruse:After Vuon dropped the suit, the city government initiated seizure proceedings.Deprived of any legal means to protect their property, Vuon and his familybegan making preparations to defend their land by force. 
The Vuon family's new home.
From the perspective of their rulers, Vuon and his familywere engaged in a seditious conspiracy, particularly when it’s understood thatthey are not only capitalists but devout Catholics. 
At a time when Vietnam’seconomy is afflicted with the highest inflation rate in Asia and confrontationsbetween small farmers and government officials are increasingly common, Vuon’sarmed defiance is a spark that could ignite a widespread conflagration.However, rather than simply extinguishing Vuon outright, Communist government ofVietnam has actually examined his grievances on their merits. 
It is impossible to believe that any affiliate or subdivision of the U.S. Government would be so conciliatory. 
 Similar developments are taking place in mainland China,which like Vietnam is ruled by a one-party State that is Marxist in itsprofessed ideology but corporatist in practice.
 Gu Kul, who used to own and operate an automotive partsbusiness in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, has been victimized byChina’s predatory corporate elite. A few years ago, local urban planners,seeking to enhance their revenue stream, ordered the seizure of Gu’s 13-acrecommercial property. In short order, a fleet of bulldozers arrived, protectedby a small army of police and hired thugs. 
 “I had to look on as bulldozers demolished my property,” Gurecounted to Der Spiegel. Notsatisfied with the trivial, paltry compensation for the destruction of aprofitable and growing business and the theft of his property, Gu filed a legalchallenge under recently enacted national legislation that supposedly limitsseizures by local governments. 
 In short order, Gu found himself being constantly trailed byblack-clad mercenaries in blacked-out SUVs. Their intentions were astransparent as their mirrored sunglasses were opaque. While Gu has managed toavoid capture, more than a few others have been kidnapped, tortured, and killedfor objecting to the ongoing land grab – and the revolt is propagating itselfacross rural China.
 Yang Youde used to own a thriving cotton farm in Yuhan. In2009, local commissars, coveting the fertile land and well-stocked troutstreams, announced their intention to seize the property. After Yang filed alegal petition to protest the planned confiscation, police descended on hishome and hauled him away to a “black jail” where he was beaten and tortured.“They strung me up by my hands and put out cigarettes on my skin,” he recalledin an interview with the Telegraph ofLondon.  
 Yang survived his time in police custody; Xue Jingbo ofWukan, a fishing village of 10,000, wasn’t so fortunate. During late 2011, arevolt erupted in the village over land confiscation, and Xue was designated tonegotiate on behalf of the population. Instead of listening to the village’scomplaints, the local government ordered Xue’s arrest. While in police custody,Xue died very quickly of what officials insisted were “natural causes.” Hisbody was never returned to his family. 
 Rather than mourning, the locals organized. Thousands ofprotesters gathered in the village square to demand an investigation of Xue’sdeath and an end to the corrupt practice of seizing land for the benefit ofpolitically connected corporate interests. Anticipating that the localgovernment would demand reinforcements, the population erected roadblocks andother barricades at the village entrances. Using cellphones and social media,protesters contacted the BBC and other international media sources seeking topublicize the village’s plight and Xue’s murder.
 After news of the protests reached a global audience lastDecember, China’s Public Security Bureau – that nation’s equivalent of theAmerican FBI or Russian KGB – shut down media access to Wukan and closed offmost internet links to the village. 
The local government, alarmed by the extentand intensity of the protests, was actually forced to flee for two weeks. Upontheir return the city officials promised to halt the ongoing land grab andinvestigate allegations of official corruption – for whatever a promise ofthat kind may be worth. 
Unfortunately, rather than simply withdrawing their consent to be ruled, the people of Wukan agreed to a series of "democratic reforms," including the appointment of a protester as a local commissar. Their exemplary defiance may have a healthier impact that the useless concessions they received.

In early February, more than 5,000 people took to thestreets of East and West Pahne Villages in Zhejiang Province to protest landseizures by local officials. The villagers became aware of the seizures onlyafter construction began on some of the stolen land.
 "Officials from the village sold land,” explainedlocal resident Lu Yeqin. “This land originally belonged to the villagers. Afterit was sold, the [villagers] were not given any money for it. The villagers areupset, and after all, this land was passed down through their family business.They rely on the land for their livelihood, but now it has been sold."
 As happened in Wukan, local Communist Party officials tookflight, regrouping in secret locations to await instructions from Beijing. Manyvillage activists are likewise seeking intervention by the central governmentin the mistaken hope that this will protect them from the corruption of localfunctionaries. 
 Tragically, they don’t understand that the land grabs are aresult of central government intervention: In the teeth of a catastrophiceconomic downturn, China’srulers – like their counterparts in Vietnam -- are frantically seizing land andadding to the commercial and residential real estate glut in the hope ofboosting the GDP
 
 “A large portion of China’s estimated 100,000 or so publicprotests each year are driven by rage over compulsory evictions,” notes the Telegraph. This is the sort of thingthat would never happen in the United States, of course – except for the factthat it happens all the time. 

As the Wall StreetJournal has pointed out, Chinese subjects who refuse to surrender theirhomes to the land-grabbers “are known as `nail households,' since their homesare sometimes left stranded in the middle of busy construction sites. Moreoften, however, they are driven away by paid thugs."


That description summons memories of  NewLondon, Connecticut resident Lauren Canario, who was kidnapped by rentedthugs – that is, officers of the New London policedepartment -- for refusing to vacate property that had been stolen througheminent domain on behalf of a federally subsidized "public/private partnership"(that is, fascist entity) called the New London Development Corporation (NLDC).

Lauren was not a trespasser; she was visiting theproperty with the permission of its owner. However, the NDLC haddecided to steal the land and give it to the Pfizer Corporation,and this act of vulgar larceny received thebenediction of the Supreme Court. Lauren was arrested,imprisoned for months, and -- in a touch that would have earned theadmiration of Soviet or Chinese commissars -- repeatedly subjected topsychological evaluation.

The "nail households" were hammered down, the Pfizer plantwas quickly erected, and the expected kickbacks were delivered. Shortly thereafter theeconomy collapsed and Pfizer decided toshut down the facility and move its employees elsewhere, leaving behind arotting and useless building that had been constructed on stolen land.

This case is a mere snapshot of an ongoing national crime wave. Former real estate developer Don Corace writes in his recent book GovernmentPirates: The Assault on Private Property Rights and How We Can Fight It: "Arrogantand corrupt city and county officials -- with near limitless legal budgets ...continue to align themselves with well-heeled developers, political cronies,and major corporations to prey on the politically less powerful anddisenfranchised, particularly minority communities.”

Eminent domain "abuse" (a term that refers to the predictableexercise of an innately illegitimate power) is just one of many ways thatproperty can be blatantly stolen through political means: "Through localzoning and the regulation of wetlands and endangered species, governments takeproperty without compensating owners and also extort land and money inreturn for approvals." 

This is, of course, exactly the same racket being run bylocal commissars in the People's Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. It isinteresting, and somewhat unsettling, that people to whomprivate property may be a relatively new and exotic concept seem to have abetter understanding of what is happening than do their counterparts here inthe putative Land of the Free – and that they display more intrepidity in fighting fortheir freedom than can be found here in the purported Home of the Brave.
