THE BIG (secret) BAILOUTS

Tue, 09/04/2012 - 22:27 — admin

As if we should be surprised. That the fed loaned out to banks more money than the US National debt. 16 Trillion (with T) dollars! WTF.

OK I know we are no fans of Ron Paul over here, but this is just too interesting for me to pass up,
http://www.policymic.com/articles/14098/ron-paul-was-right-all-along-her...

The first ever audit has been conducted over the last few months due to an amendment in the Dodd-Frank Bill. The results were truly staggering. Over $16,000,000,000,000.00 has been given in bailouts to banks and other corporations throughout the world from December 2007 – June 2010. Remember, that is just for a three year period. The Federal Reserve has been in existence since 1913. This $16 trillion dollar figure surpasses both the national debt and the annual gross domestic product for the United States.

According to the TARP, only $700 billion was supposedly given out to faltering banks and companies. However, Citigroup alone received $2.5 trillion. The Fed loaned money to banks in France, Scotland, and Belgium. Here is the list of some institutions that received the most money on page 131 of the report:

Citigroup: $2.5 trillion ($2,500,000,000,000)
Morgan Stanley: $2.04 trillion ($2,040,000,000,000)
Merrill Lynch: $1.949 trillion ($1,949,000,000,000)
Bank of America: $1.344 trillion ($1,344,000,000,000)
Barclays PLC (United Kingdom): $868 billion ($868,000,000,000)
Bear Sterns: $853 billion ($853,000,000,000)
Goldman Sachs: $814 billion ($814,000,000,000)
Royal Bank of Scotland (UK): $541 billion ($541,000,000,000)
JP Morgan Chase: $391 billion ($391,000,000,000)
Deutsche Bank (Germany): $354 billion ($354,000,000,000)
UBS (Switzerland): $287 billion ($287,000,000,000)
Credit Suisse (Switzerland): $262 billion ($262,000,000,000)
Lehman Brothers: $183 billion ($183,000,000,000)
Bank of Scotland (United Kingdom): $181 billion ($181,000,000,000)
BNP Paribas (France): $175 billion ($175,000,000,000)

According to Senator Bernie Sanders, “This is a clear case of socialism for the rich and rugged, you're-on-your-own individualism for everyone else.”

via Poor Richard: USA spending more on nukes now than during Cold War

Wed, 11/09/2011 - 21:32 — admin

A subject near and dear to me;
USA spending more on nukes now than during Cold War -

Though it has been decades since the Cold War came to a close, the United States government spends more money on nuclear warheads now than it did during its stand-off with the Soviet Union.

As the US vows to cut down its arsenal of nuclear weapons, the cost the country spends annually on maintaining its supply is much more than America invested each year during the Cold War. Estimates suggest that currently the US puts around $55 billion annually into its nuclear weapons program, reports Mother Jones; by comparison, the cost of the nuke complex for the country during the Cold War ran at an average of only $35 billion each year.

Only three months into his presidency, Barack Obama said in April 2009 that he envisioned an Earth in the future fee of nuclear weapons. Just two years later, however, America’s arsenal of those warheads amounts to roughly 2,500 nukes ready to be deployed.

It was only less than two weeks ago that the United States finally dismantled its largest atomic bomb, the B53, which was said to be 600 times more powerful than the nuke that was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan towards the finale of the Second World War. As that nuke was dismantled, Deputy Secretary of Energy Dan Poneman told NPR that the bomb was a “Cold War relic” and showed the direction of dismantling that the United States was heading towards.

Even if the country is cutting back on its nukes, the United States has a backup stash larger than the active bombs, allowing for the country to in total have 5,113 nuclear warheads in its position. The surplus of not-quite-ready nukes is at 2,600, and though they cannot be deployed at a drop of a hat like the others, they can be reanimated as full-fledged warheads.

Peter Fedewa of the pro-disarmament Ploughshares Fund says that those nukes “could be 'raised from the dead' and brought back into deployment with relative ease."

Under the START treaty that the US signed with Russia last year, both countries vow to soon enough limit their stash of active warheads to only 1,500. The document does not, however, say how many back-up nukes either country can have. In the interim, Mother Jones reports that the Pantex plant near Amarillo, Texas holds around 3,000 warheads that are on the schedule to be dismantled, something America used to do at a pace of around 1,300 per year. Last year, however, both Congress and the White House said that the country would cut back on the cost of dismantling the warheads and instead now invest the money on the upkeep of already dead nukes.

Prisoners Build Patriot Missiles

Wed, 03/09/2011 - 03:09 — admin

From Wired via Raw

This spring, the United Arab Emirates is expected to close a deal for $7 billion dollars’ worth of American arms. Nearly half of the cash will be spent on Patriot missiles, which cost as much as $5.9 million apiece.

But what makes those eye-popping sums even more shocking is that some of the workers manufacturing parts for those Patriot missiles are prisoners, earning as little as 23 cents an hour. (Credit Justin Rohrlich with the catch.)

TSA screenings ineffective

Sun, 12/19/2010 - 01:52 — admin

or another in the "who ever would have guessed?" category

TSA doesn't prevent a loaded gun from being taken on an airplane;
Two weeks ago, TSA's new director said every test gun, bomb part or knife got past screeners at some airports.

huh? Well damn good thing they've been feeling up grandma and squeezing junior's balls, isn't it?!

And here's a "spoof" video about the "underwear bomber" created by a firsthand witness to evidence of the false flag nature of the incident. Which might be even more funny were it not so tragically true.
