Does the EU Have an Expiry Date?

A veritable re-engineering of the entire planet has been taking place in front of our eyes for many decades now. However, since it is gradual, most people do not notice or understand what is happening. Just like the proverbial frog that if thrown into boiling water painfully jumps out and survives, but will be cooked and die if thrown into lukewarm water where the heat rises one degree every 5 minutes…

What goes under the name of “New World Order”, “Globalization” or (my favourite) “World Government” describes the long-term objectives of a highly powerful Global Power Elite embedded inside every country, notably the US and Europe, that owns, operates and channels every country’s resources – oil, finance, economic strength, military prowess, natural resources – from inside to promote their supranational agenda. This highly complex, holistic and extensively planned process helps explain much (if not all) of the on-going violence, chaos and injustice we see in the realms of finance, politics and the economy. But good strategic planning also requires experimentation, trial and error, scenario building and war games.

My native country, Argentina (and Latin America as a whole), have been repeatedly used for such “experimentation”, as happened here ten years ago when the international banking cartel aligned to the IMF/World Bank, US Treasury Department, rating agencies and the “qualified” mainstream media, worked together to collapse Argentina’s financial and monetary system, but at the same time managed to save all their banks that operated in the country. Argentines saw their money locked up in the banks, their Dollar deposits were arbitrarily changed into local devalued pesos at fraudulent rates of exchange as local Caretaker Governments (to this very day) take measures always aligned to local and international banker interests. The results for Argentina? GDP fell by 40% in 2002; 50% of our population fell below the poverty line (most never made it back up again); violence and death on our streets, foreclosures, bankruptcies, full-fledged social war (that stopped just short of civil war) and yet…. not one single bank folded!

Essential Reading Regarding Iran

As the rhetoric for war with Iran begins to mount, first with the staged DEA-Saudi bomb plot, and now with an upcoming IAEA report supposedly "exposing" Iran's nuclear arms ambitions, it is important to re-read through the signed confessions by the corporate-fascist interests behind this drive for war where it is admitted that:

1. Iran poses no threat to US national security - even if they acquired nuclear arms- rather Iran threatens US interests throughout the Middle East, half-way across the planet.

2. Iran desperately wants to avoid armed conflict with both Israel and the West and would use nuclear weapons merely as a defensive deterrence.

3. The US and Israel are actively looking to provoke Iran into war with a combination of covert support for destabilization within Iran, supporting listed terrorist organizations, and limited unilateral military first strikes to provoke an Iranian response needed to justify a wider military confrontation.

All of this is shockingly spelled out in extreme detail within the pages of the corporate-financier funded Brooking Institution report, "Which Path to Perisa?" It is essential that every American, European, and Israeli read just how malicious, callus and eager the globalist elite are to trigger a catastrophic war with the Islamic Republic for the sole purpose of protecting Wall Street and London's hegemony throughout the Middle East.

Debt Crisis? What Debt Crisis?

Ever wondered what 114.5 Trillion looks like? This puts it into perspective:

$100 - Most counterfeited money denomination in the world. Keeps the world moving.

$10,000 - Enough for a great vacation or to buy a used car. Approximately one year of work for the average human on earth.

Nobel Peace Prize-President Quietly Opens 8th US Battlefront

While America occupies Iraq and Afghanistan, wages covert war on Pakistan, conducts drone attacks on Yemen and Somalia, bombards Libya, and positions for a wider confrontation with Iran and Syria, Nobel Peace Prize Laurette President Obama has now quietly, without much fanfare, sent 100 US troops to help Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni crush rebels threatening his 25 year dictatorship.

In what is essentially a "reverse-Libyan-style" intervention, the US is sending troops to crush, not assist rebels rising up against their despotic ruler. Ironically, just as with Libya's rebels, Uganda's rebels are also listed as a foreign terrorist organization by the US State Department. Instead of the corporate-financier contrived International Criminal Court issuing fictitious warrants for Uganda's head of state, as was done with Qaddafi in Libya, it is the Ugandan rebel leader, Joseph Kony, who is being targeted.

Both the Ugandan government (with US assistance) and the rebels, known as the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), are accused of perpetrating heinous atrocities against their enemies and civilian populations in their decades long conflict. In particular, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has just recently presided over the mass murdering and displacement of 20,000 of his own people on behalf of British corporations who sought to construct tree plantations on their land. US and British military assistance and business deals with the Ugandan government have been a ubiquitous feature throughout Museveni's perpetual, unending term as president.

The Money Masters Behind the Global Debt Crisis

In the US, we see untold millions suffering from the impact of mass foreclosures and unemployment; in Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, and Italy, stringent austerity measures are imposed upon the whole population; all coupled with major banking collapses in Iceland, the UK and the US, and indecent bail-outs of “too-big-to-fail” bankers (Newspeak for too powerful to fail).

No doubt, the bulk of the responsibility for these debacles falls squarely on the shoulders of caretaker governments in these countries that are subordinated to Money Power interests and objectives. In country after country, that comes together with embedded corruption, particularly evident today in the UK, Italy and the US.

As we assess some of the key components of today’s Global Financial, Currency and Banking Model in this article, readers will hopefully get a better understanding as to why we are all in such a crisis, and that it will tend to get much worse in the months and years to come.

Helen of Goy

Helen Thomas the aging White House Journalist was asked to retire following her unwelcome comments to a Rabbi interviewing her. He asked her what she thought about the situation in Palestine, naturally assuming she was on board with his propaganda version of events, when she said: "They have to get the hell out of Palestine... they have to go home... back to Poland, Germany ...wherever they came from." His jaw hit the floor. She was made to resign immediately. And was labeled as an anti-semite and anybody who publishes her work is warned in advance etc. etc. etc. The Israeli lobby runs the White House and was not expecting that kind of outburst from anyone whom they thought was one of their own. The Rabbi was caught on one foot the other being stuck firmly in his mouth.

We need more journalists like this one who is not afraid to tell it like it is. There was one who, like Helen, decided to tell it like it is, unfortunately he's been dead for over 100 years and nothing much has changed in his chosen craft in all that time. His comments on the supposed Independent press still hold:

"There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dare to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before 24 hours my occupation would be gone.

"The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

John Swinton, pre-eminent New York journalist, when guest of honour at a banquet given for him in 1880 by the leaders of his craft, or crafty leaders. A gaggle of supreme lying hypocrites sipping champagne and living the lie. Did his speech have the desired effect? Obviously not. "Money talks bullshit walks" and in today's world, as it was back then, the truth is Bullshit.

This is why the world needs blogs without which no one would ever know the truth and never know about the likes of John Swinton. It's not something the press are going to inform you about that's for sure. Good on you Helen.

Libya: The Greatest Betrayal

First - let's not labor under any delusions. Obama, Cameron, and Sarkozy are heads of state in name only. It is the depravity and megalomania amongst the banks, corporations, and the institutions they have contrived, that are responsible for the most egregious betrayal in Western history. For 10 years the West's leadership have stirred up hatred and fear amongst their populations to justify a lengthy and very costly global war that has sent US, British, Canadian, German, French, and many other troops, around the world, into dangerous adversity, and ultimately to their graves to fight "the forces of terror."

Now, almost as if savoring the irony, the New York Times, on behalf of the corporate-financier oligarchs that presume dominion over the Western world, fully admit that Al Qaeda terrorists, men who literally killed US troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan are now in Libya and are the benefactors of billions of dollars in Western aid, diplomatic recognition, training, weapons, the lending of intelligence assets, the full unwavering support of the West's "media," NATO-member air support, and even graced with Western special forces fighting side-by-side with them on the ground. This timely confession is also in response in part to revelations that the Libyan rebel commander now filling the streets of Tripoli with indescribable horror is a hardcore Al Qaeda leader, reported first in the Telegraph months ago, and again this week on RT and covered in depth by respected geopolitical analyst Dr. Webster Tarpley.

First Responders NOT Invited to 9/11 Anniversary

They risked their lives. They had no time or 'luxury' to ponder 'who done it' - whether it was Osama Bin Laden or an Inside Job, they had to act. Well over 343 first responders lost their lives, horrifically, doing so. Many have since, contracted cancers and other diseases, due to the toxic air and materials they had to be in contact with, and there have been deaths as a result, but neither the sufferers, nor their bereaved families, have received any compensation!  And this shameful treatment of these incredibly brave individuals continues, adding insult to injury (and deaths), by not even inviting the survivors, and their families, to the main anniversary of 9/11.

Corporate-Funded "People's" Movements

Surely a movement run by a man working with foreign interests against his own nation would be considered sedition in every sense of the word. And regardless of how well-intentioned followers of such a movement were, ultimately their efforts would be contributing to a future entirely removed from their genuine ideals of progress and change.

Progress is not only an attractive motivation for political participation, it is a responsibility for those who wish to leave future generations with something more than what they have now. However, danger arises when progress is pursued politically rather than pragmatically, where people, not solutions are hoisted to the pinnacle of our attention and efforts. This is precisely the case unfolding in Thailand, where a man, Thaksin Shinawatra, his party, and his agenda have taken to the driver's seat of a contrived social movement called the "red shirts" and ultimately threaten the destiny of the very people committed to this hoax.

Thaksin Shinawatra himself was a former adviser to the globalist equity firm, the Carlyle Group, and was literally standing in front of the CFR in NYC on the eve of his ousting from power in 2006. Since then, he has been represented by some of the largest lobbying firms on earth, including fellow Carlyle man James Baker and his Baker Botts law firm, the International Crisis Group's Kenneth Adelman and his Edelman Public Relations firm (also a corporate sponsor of the "color revolution college" Movements.org), and Belfer Center adviser and IISS trustee Robert Blackwill of Barbour Griffith & Rogers.

The Terminal Stages of the US Dollar

This week I'm celebrating the anniversary of the greatest heist in recorded history; exactly 40 years ago yesterday, President Nixon severed the dollar’s ties to gold forever.  It was a government game so the politicians could easily pay off their debts with “cheaper dollars” for the foreseeable future.  In reality, this one decision effectively stole all our dollars’ value for decades to come. And you and I are the ones still paying for this mistake. Not the rich, us the ordinary middle class people.  Strangely this decision created the $4 trillion Forex market and eventually sent gold above $1,800 an ounce this past week.  Gold was $35 and ounce when Nixon made this decision.

You and I - (We) are now in the terminal stages of the worlds most gigantic pyramid scheme of all time: The US Dollar. It is set to vaporize the assets of the average citizen and level the life style of North Americians to a level of lifestyle more similar to the rest of the world (think Asia, South America and Europe).  So now is thew time to protect what's left of your nest-egg, before the dollar collapses fully, rendering your dollar-denominated assets almost worthless.

 

What the London Riots Can Teach Us

The reference to throwing stones at the bad man, you being a whore and a slave and the lemons used by rioters to counteract tear-gas, this song, decorated as a lovely flowery, alternative pop-tune is a subtle awakening to the power of mass revolt.



Whether the recent UK riots were the work of a bunch of idiots, a secret service lead plot to encourage higher police powers or whatever mixture you may like, we did see the power of the masses at work. Big Brother may seem powerful but there are only a few of them, and they don't like the idea of the masses waking at once to face them.

I do not see violence as a solution to anything but refer you to an ant. An ant can't push down a large tree, but he can with a team remove its foundations and witness it tumble. As you can't force out a government by replacing it, force then is useless, we can though on mass, remove the foundations on which it stands. We could for example, on mass, over the Internet, organize yearly days where we choose not to work, we choose not to pay tax. We could on mass stand against unfair laws, standing peacefully against bullshit statute "laws" and make a difference.

It's a Bird, It's a Plane... No, It's Super Congress!

This debt deal has given birth to a new “Super Congress”. A so-called committee of 12 that will formulate a plan to handle the deficit crises. This is a sham. The Congress has literally crumbled the Constitution into a huge paper ball and tossed it in the waste paper basket. 12 members are going to represent 435 Congressional districts and there will be no debate, no amendment and no filibusters allowed when the committee comes forward with its “recommendation”.

If, by some miracle, the Congress as a whole votes down the recommendation; then the OMB will slash the deficit on its own. Now, remember there is more than one way to reduce the deficit. If I were a betting man I would wager that tax increases rather than spending cuts will be the avenue of choice. Let’s talk about the constitutional problems with this legislation.

Global Warning

My research into weather and climate has gone really deep and the fact that the media is persisting in reporting the problems with Co2 and warming could prove to be a huge problem in more ways than one. When one studies the history of climate change and compares it to current research using empirical information one can clearly see the error, or more the point, the con, of the IPCC and the obvious collusion of governments and politicians in supporting totally unreliable science to the point of suicide. It is a complex subject and needs to be simplified for a general audience. It's all about the 'Maunder Minimum' of the 17th and 18th centuries which was he coldest period of our history and included many great changes and shifting of power bases which can all be attributed to climate.

The Rise of an American Dictatorship

The Congress, the people’s house and the states’ senate, is increasingly being transformed into a rubber-stamping body of the executive branch. The usurpation of power in the hands of the president is following a systematic surrender of US power to international organizations. The end result, if our current course continues, will be to have a president wielding all power of the state in conformity with international rules. The United States is being transformed into a manged dictatorship within the governmental framework of the New World Order; a world-wide league of dictatorships.

Let’s examine the Constitution’s Delegation of Powers to Congress:

Section 8 – Powers of Congress

The Congress shall have the power….

1. To lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defence and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States:

This power has been eroded by fact that the IRS was established under the executive branch. Although its authority is supposedly granted in legislation I have yet to see the enabling legislation. It is further eroded by the Federal Reserve’s ability to manipulate the value of what we call money.

2. To borrow money on the credit of the United States:

This power is currently under attack by the McConnell plan to allow the President to raise the debt ceiling. Under this plan a super-majority vote would be required to over-rule the president.

US to Default on Credit Aug. 2 - Even if Solution Found Today

Yesterday, Moody's and Standard & Poor's both threatened to downgrade the credit rating of the United States of America. The threat of an official downgrade resonates with the real-time unofficial downgrade that is already underway in the market for credit default swaps (CDS).

(To review: CDS are a kind of "default insurance." The buyer of a CDS is buying insurance against default by a specific issuer of debt, whether that be a company or a country. The greater the apparent likelihood of a default, the higher the price insurance. That's why the price of a Greek CDS is 1,000 times greater than the price of a Norwegian CDS.)

This extreme pricing difference is to be expected. In absolute numbers, the national annual deficits of Greece and Norway are identical. But while the Greeks are running a budget deficit equal to about 14% of its GDP, the Norwegians are running a budget surplus equal to about 14% of GDP. Greece might default tomorrow. Norway is unlikely to default any time this century... or at least not until its North Sea oil runs out.

Is Ron Paul Electable?

Is Ron Paul Electable? I keep hearing this question. I don’t think there has been a politician in my lifetime with the degree of consistency this man has. How brave is he? Does he ever shirk his duty to defend the constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic? Every chance he has to take the easy way out he refuses. He says the unpopular thing when it needs to be said. He simply knows right from wrong and does the right thing as he knows it. Now, I can answer the question. Is Ron Paul electable? Of course Ron Paul is electable but that is the wrong question. The question that needs to be asked is “Who is the best man for the United States of America right now?” That’s the guy you need to vote for. If you know the answer to that question, you should write his name in if he is not on the ballot. That’s your duty.

Who give’s a damn if the guy you voted for is not elected? Did you vote for the best guy? Did you do, as Ron Paul always does, the right thing for the sake of being right? Electability doesn’t even enter the equation as far as I am concerned. If Americans would just do what is right and not worry about how many other people agree, you might find that those pundits that tell you that a certain candidate can’t win are wrong.

The Peak Oil Myth

Peak oil, along with Global Warming, or Climate Change, as it has been amended by way of hedge betting on the part of the environmentalist movement, is one of the main worries we mere mortals face today. Add to that all the impending Pandemics and the financial collapse of the world economy, things are looking grim. I do agree with the environmentalists on one thing, climate definitely changes and does so with monotonous regularity.

We are told that we have sucked all the oil there is to suck out of the nipples of our mother planet so any further industrialization of the third world and the demise of our own industrial base, which is well on it’s way, can only be dealt with using unpleasant, but necessary, draconian methods to try and preserve the little we have left of that energy giving nectar we sometimes call “Black Gold”. In an attempt to discourage the use of our Black Gold the environmentalists have promoted a global tax on Co2 emissions, now gaining increasing implementation which is, in effect, a charge for every man woman and child on the planet for the air we breathe. Co2, they claim, is a green house gas that is heating up our planet to disastrous levels and will result in all of us boiling in our own juices if left unchecked. This release of Co2 gas into our environment is a direct result of the unfettered use of fossil fuels, mostly oil. The science says that Co2 is driving the planets weather systems resulting in unprecedented warming. Elementary science would beg to differ given that it is warming that creates more Co2 and not the other way around.

National Popular Vote: Another Step Towards Dictatorship

What is NPV?
NPV wants the President to be elected by a simple majority of all American voters. The National Popular Vote movement is a radically dangerous ploy to side-step an Amendment process that would most definitely fail in favor of individual state battles with simple majority votes. It is much easier for NPV to convince a handful of states to combine or block together their electoral votes then it would be to get the nation as a whole to sign on to the idea that the President should be elected by popular vote.

How it would work.
NPV wants to get the President elected by a simple majority of all American voters by convincing enough states to agree to cast their electoral votes for the winner of the popular vote regardless of the will of the people within their state. In other words, they don’t mind if you cast a vote, they just want to be able to ignore it. Now, every state that signs onto this agreement is upsetting the influence of some of the lesser states with regard to the presidential election. There are 539 total electoral votes. The winner requires a majority or 270 votes. If they can obtain enough states to block 270 votes, they defacto determine that the winner of the popular vote will win the election. Even if they fall short of their goal of at least 270 votes. Each state that jumps on board increases the likely hood that their influence will be sufficient to guarantee the popular vote winner gets the presidency.

Lies, Damn Lies, and Stupid Lies

Everyday we hear it on the news, see it on the TV and read about it in the newspapers, what a danger to the world Iran is becoming all because it wants to build a nuclear power station to serve the energy needs of its citizens. Hilary Clinton is rabid at the idea along with her fellow Zionists in America and Israel. They view Iran’s right to decide its own future as tantamount to an act of war and threaten them with war in an attempt to persuade them to see things their way. America on the one hand are pointing out that “Peak Oil” is with us and there will be no energy to spare, on the other they are saying that although nuclear power is okay for them, they do not want Iran to have it because they will make nuclear bombs and attack the free world and they will just have to get along without the means to build a sustainable economy for their people.

Imagine someone running into your living room on a hot and sweaty day and forcing you to turn off your fan because they don’t want you to cool off and informing you that you will never be able to use your fan again because they don’t like it. I might take umbrage to that particular liberty. The reality is that the West’s insistence that Iran cannot entertain the idea of nuclear power because they don’t like it, is a terrible liberty and completely without merit. To add insult to injury the demon makers in Washington have gone out of their way to convince the Global community that Iran is hell bent on building a nuclear arsenal for the express purpose of destroying the very principles of democracy and all that is held dear to the freedom lovers of the world. The fact is we are all free to do what we are told. A strange kind of freedom wouldn’t you say. Shut up they explain.

A decided case of the “pot calling the kettle black” and an incredible hypocrisy given that America’s idea of freedom is to take it away from all and sundry including its own citizens. They are bordering on the maniacal with the venom they are spitting at Iran and the propaganda media is working overtime to ensure that each and every one of us is aware that Ahmadinejad is the Devil on Earth for daring to challenge the might of America.
