US rulers represents tiny minority

Posted: 11 Oct 2011 06:40 AM PDT

A political activist says that the US capitalist system is anti-democratic because it represents the ruling elite who will do whatever they can to suppress the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Do We Need Banks, Or Can We Cut Out the Middleman?

Posted: 11 Oct 2011 06:38 AM PDT

Virtually all independent economists and financial experts agree that the economy cannot stabilize or recover unless the giant, insolvent banks are broken up (and here and here). And the very size of the big banks is also warping our entire political system.

Norwegian authorities separate children from parents every day

Posted: 11 Oct 2011 05:36 AM PDT

Russian man Vitaly Morozov has been at law with Norwegian authorities fighting for his own son for several years already. The authorities took the child away from the man in a traditional way. The man was forced to become a patient of a mental institution, whereas the child was delivered to a foster family. In Norway, child protection services take ten children away from their parents on a daily basis. Six of those children are the children of non-native individuals. All that happens without legitimate criminal investigation and court decisions.

Stop all US aid to Israel

Posted: 11 Oct 2011 05:00 AM PDT

Demonstrators called for a march to Wall Street; their cause is purely American, as they want jobs and a reining-in of the control that the affluent have on their daily lives. What caught my eye in the big picture, though, is that some protesters held a large banner declaring, "Stop military aid to Israel".

According to the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution, Americans are never to be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. The Constitution is not some aspirational statement of values, allowing exceptions when convenient, but rather, it is the law of the land.  It is the basis of our Republic and our principal bulwark against tyranny.

Is politics from below 'class warfare'?

Posted: 11 Oct 2011 01:51 AM PDT

There is little doubt that this move to the streets of America expresses a deep disillusionment with ordinary politics based on elections and governing institutions. Obama's electoral victory in 2008 was the last hope of the young in America who poured unprecedented enthusiasm into his campaign that promised so much and delivered so little. Perhaps worse than Obama's failure to deliver, was his refusal to fight for what he claimed to believe, or even to bring into his entourage of advisors a few voices of empathy and mildly progressive outlook.

The murder of Americans: Existence of secret kill lists now admitted by lawless White House

Posted: 11 Oct 2011 12:00 AM PDT

"American militants like Anwar al-Awlaki are placed on a kill or capture list by a secretive panel of senior government officials, which then informs the president of its decisions, according to officials. There is no public record of the operations or decisions of the panel, which is a subset of the White House's National Security Council, several current and former officials said. Neither is there any law establishing its existence or setting out the rules by which it is supposed to operate." (http://www.reuters.com/article/2011...)

Five exercises to boost colon health

Posted: 11 Oct 2011 12:00 AM PDT

Thanks to busy schedules and the hectic pace of modern life, not everyone can hit the gym five times a week. However, simply increasing the overall physical activity performed over the course of the day can drastically improve colon health. This can mean anything from taking the stairs instead of the elevator, to parking in the last row at the grocery store and walking across the lot. No matter how busy a person is, there is always room for some extra exercise.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure openly denies science by claiming BPA exposure has no connection to breast cancer, insists chemical is safe

Posted: 11 Oct 2011 12:00 AM PDT

Seemingly countless studies in recent years have shown that BPA, which is found in plastics, can liners, store receipts, and other consumer products, is linked to breast cancer and other diseases. The European Union (EU), Canada, and some localized areas of the US have all banned the chemical in baby products for this very reason. Even the US President's Cancer Panel in its 2010 report explains that BPA exposure can cause breast cancer, cause breast cancer cells to proliferate, and even make healthy cells act like cancer cells (http://www.naturalnews.com/028765_e...)

Whole Foods Market supports 'pink' breast cancer awareness campaigns that fund drug industry

Posted: 11 Oct 2011 12:00 AM PDT

Extensive research has shown that the massive Susan G. Komen for the Cure campaign is not actually focused on finding a real cure, but instead on generating as much awareness (revenue) as possible for the cancer industry, which thrives on a steady stream of patients getting chemotherapy, radiation, and surgeries. And now it appears that since at least 2007, Whole Foods has been endorsing, albeit in a more subdued way, the very same cause.

Empty Stomachs, Emboldened Hearts

The tremors of the Arab Spring have spread far and wide, to places as far as Wall Street and as close as Palestine. It is nothing short of amazing to see how people everywhere have taken cue from the hundreds of thousands of Arabs in various countries demanding their rights and freedoms. Today in Palestine, while not an immediate result of the Arab protests but certainly a byproduct of them, Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails have entered their second week of a hunger strike demanding better conditions.

The Greatest Starvation Begins Now

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 09:12 PM PDT

The Panic of 1873 was also called The Great Contraction in America and the Longest Depression in England because the people had to to wait 23 years until 1896 for recovery. The Great Depression forced us to go back and rename the Great Contraction. True it did last longer than the Great Depression of 1929-1939, but it was much less severe. The Russian demographer Borisov has proven that at least 3 million Americans and possibly as many as 7 million died from starvation in those ten years.

Egypt Revolt 2.0? 'Militant Islamists feel free to destroy Cairo'

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 07:28 PM PDT

Egypt's military rulers imposed an overnight curfew on Cairo's Tahrir Square and other parts of the capital. It follows a violent eruption between Coptic Christians and security forces that have left at least 24 people dead. What began as a peaceful rally calling for justice over attacks on churches and radicalism, quickly turned into the most-violent episode since February's revolution. Military vehicles are clearly seen charging through crowds and ploughing into people, while army infantry fired rubber bullets and tear gas. Witnesses claim the escalation was sparked by unconnected trouble-makers, but state-owned media blames Christian protesters for instigating the violence. Dr. Youssef Sidhom, the Editor-in-Chief of the country's only Christian newspaper 'Watani' from inside Egypt says that what's going on in Egypt is the same failing regime scenario.

A Dangerous Life (Part 1)

Life has become dangerous for us all, thanks entirely to the Jews.  They've put us, the living, into deadly danger.  Millions of others haven't been so lucky, because they're already dead.  Dead at the hands of Jewish Capitalism and Jewish Communism.  Dead at the hands of the Bush family war machine.  Millions of Bush victims since 1991, not to mention the Wilson, Roosevelt/Truman, Eisenhower, Johnson and Nixon dead.  Mass murder always has behind it a Jewish purpose.  Mass murder is good for the Jews.

Why the Elites Are in Trouble

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 05:00 PM PDT

Ketchup, a petite 22-year-old from Chicago with wavy red hair and glasses with bright red frames, arrived in Zuccotti Park in New York on Sept. 17. She had a tent, a rolling suitcase, 40 dollars' worth of food, the graphic version of Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States" and a sleeping bag. She had no return ticket, no idea what she was undertaking, and no acquaintances among the stragglers who joined her that afternoon to begin the Wall Street occupation. She decided to go to New York after reading the Canadian magazine Adbusters, which called for the occupation, although she noted that when she got to the park Adbusters had no discernable presence.

How peace began

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 03:44 PM PDT

The Middle East peace process began on October 24, 1973, eighteen days after Israel was caught by surprise by Egyptian and Syrian attacks from the south and the north - attacks that scored substantial advances during the first 48 hours of fighting. But by October 24, when the fighting ceased, the Israel Defense Forces stood 101 kilometers from Cairo and 40 kilometers from Damascus, and the Egyptian Third Army was completely encircled east of the Suez Canal.

We were there too - six doctors

I swear to you that I didn't curse the director of wages at the Finance Ministry. And the doctor who cursed didn't curse anyone in particular. He cursed the situation, and said something like: "I've had it up to here with this fucking situation!" And then he apologized. I'm opening with this clarification because everyone seems interested in the piquant details. So allow me to give you precise details regarding how talks between the medical residents and the Finance Ministry proceeded, without sparing any of the juicy parts.

But it seems that Israel currently has some politicians who think otherwise. They are convinced that they can fool all the people all the time and profit by doing so.

Bombshell: Underwear Bomber Calls Haskell As Defense Witness

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 03:01 PM PDT

In a shocking development in the trial of the accused underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, Delta Flight 253 eyewitness Kurt Haskell has been called by Abdulmutallab as a witness for the defense, a move that could blow the whole case wide open.

Detroit Lawyer Haskell has been a prominent skeptic of the government's official version of events, having witnessed a well-dressed man help Abdulmutallab clear security before the incident on Christmas Day 2009 despite the fact that the bomber had no passport, in addition to the fact that his own father had warned U.S. intelligence officials of the threat posed by Abdulmutallab a month before the attempted attack.

Palestine and Israel: phony peace negotiations or rule of law?

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 02:28 PM PDT

Often said but never rationally explained. I think it is time to challenge the orchestrated mantra that calls for a return to negotiations when this route has failed so dismally to end the misery and it is now clear to anyone who takes an interest in Middle East affairs that Israel has no wish for peace until it has grabbed all the land it craves and established as many irreversible facts on the ground as are necessary to achieve its criminal objective. By their actions the Israelis have not the slightest desire to honour commitments from previous accords.

The Decline And Fall Of Mainstream Media

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 12:20 PM PDT

Be it traditional television, print or the well-known internet media companies that most people generally use for news or information, it's clear to me at least that these powerful news outlets prefer to safely immerse themselves in a sort of conveniently contrived, self-conscious, fog of war, so to speak. And so I wonder for such reasons, if I am the only person who finds the coverage having to do with the Wall Street protesters by major media outlets, curiously lacking in detail or ability, or more importantly, in journalistic integrity.

Drug Policy vs. Homicide Rates

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 12:11 PM PDT

(FEDERALJACK)   According to a new report from the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime, Honduras and El Salvador have the highest homicide rates in the world, at 82.1 and 66, respectively, per 100,000 people. Despite the surge in violence that has accompanied Mexican President Felipe Calderon's anti-drug crackdown, which has killed more than 40,000 people since 2006, Mexico's homicide rate—18.1 per 100,000—makes it seem placid by comparison, although it is more than three times the U.S. rate (5 per 100,000), which in turn is high compared to those of other liberal democracies.

Since 1913 the Federal Reserve has given the impression it is an agency of the federal government when in fact it is privately owned by banks.

President Karazai and his intelligence set up did not wait for a respite to Pakistan from these allegations, once they accused her of involvement in the killing of former Afghan President Professor Burhanuddin Rabbani.  According to Lutifullah Mashal, a representative of the Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security (NDS), that Pakistani intelligence agency ISI was behind the assassination of former Afghan President Prof Burhanuddin Rabbani and that Quetta Shura made the plan for this killing in Quetta, Pakistan. While acting in haste, President Karazai, seconded these allegations of its intelligence agency and repeated the charges.

Think Tank Says Bailout Fund Will Need $6 Trillion And France Will Lose AAA Rating

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 07:22 AM PDT

Consisdering that the current proposal being voted on by all 17 Eurozone members calls for a fund of less than $500 billion, this new number, though more realistic in terms of the size needed to fix the problem, is a political impossibility, especially given the popular resistance among voters in France and Germany to bailouts for irresponsible neighboring countries.


Pardon while we chuckle, because $1 trillion, let alone $6 trillion, is never going to happen in Europe.  Where do they plan to get the money, Euro Claus?

Consisdering that the current proposal being voted on by all 17 Eurozone members calls for a fund of less than $500 billion, this new number, though more realistic in terms of the size needed to fix the problem, is a political impossibility, especially given the popular resistance among voters in France and Germany to bailouts for irresponsible neighboring countries.

Financial Times

Excerpt:

Many European policymakers are beginning to envisage the fund, known formally as the European financial stability facility, as a nascent eurozone treasury that could sit alongside the European Central Bank. It would be quickly tapped to deal with crises without relying on national parliaments, which cannot act at the speed demanded by markets.

Senior officials have even begun referring to this future construction by a new name, the European Monetary Fund, which would operate like many other European Union institutions – with decisions taken by a qualified majority vote rather than unanimity. Such proposals will feature in a review of eurozone governance overseen by Herman Van Rompuy, the European Council president, next month

Daniel Gros, director of the Centre for European Policy Studies think-tank, estimated that under some scenarios, the EFSF – and its successor, a permanent agency called the European Stability Mechanism – would have to be as big as €4,000bn ($6.2 trillion).

Such an increase would mean France, whose triple A rating is essential to the market credibility of the EFSF, would see its debt levels rocket, at a time when its bond rating is already under scrutiny. "It's just not conceivable to have a much larger EFSF and still have France as triple A," said Mr Gros.

DB here.  Meanwhile UK Prime Minister David Cameron is in the news today calling for "a big bazooka approach to bailouts" warning they have only a few weeks to avert economic disaster.  And Merkel and Sarkozy met again today and claim to have reached agreement on a massive EURO bank bailout, though neither would release details.

Europe to destroy traditional family and sexual identity

Traditional words 'father' and 'mother' will be replaced with official terms Parent 1 and Parent 2 in Britain. The terms will be used in official documents. The authorities decided to make such a "politically correct" move to accommodate same-sex couples. Experts are sure, though, that the matter is not about the requirements of certain social groups. The decision is another step towards the destruction of traditional families.

Americans Rise Up Against Zionist Wars for Profit

Christopher BollynBecause the scale of the war-for-profit scam is so immense, an example comparing what the money wasted on the wars could have bought for the American people is helpful:  The U.S. military spends an estimated $20 billion a year just to air-condition its tents and bases in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is equivalent to 20 years of funding for Amtrak, the sorely neglected U.S. passenger rail system.

Cognitive Dissonance

Totalitarian nations throughout history have made war on their own citizens. The United States is doing the same and has in one degree or another for at least 150 years.

Sausage The Riot Dog Coming To America?

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 05:52 AM PDT

Who would have thought it possible? Greece, a tiny country on the Mediterranean which is, in the grand scheme of things, economically insignificant, has become the centerpiece of the global financial media and the "make or break" sovereign debt battle for the entire European Union. Let's face it; Greece dominates the psychology of the markets. Even after a "partial" default this year, equities still hang upon every new EU meeting, every new IMF press release, every meaningless conference between Merkel and Sarkozy, causes violent swings in the Dow, not to mention every other stock index across the world. Greece collapsed months ago. The discussion is over. Yet, global investors still wait anxiously for a sign that all is well in the land of the Parthenon and the Gyro.

Who sets Lebanon against Syria?

What now for Occupy Wall Street?

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 05:32 AM PDT

The park is small, just one tiny block, a sliver of earth reclaimed from the destructive fury of the 9/11 building collapses. It was brought back to life, complete with flowers and pink marble seating areas by a real estate baron who had it rebuilt and named it after a former head of a global real estate company.

Federal Reserve is a Cache of Stolen Assets

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 05:04 AM PDT

The American Revolution, in no small part, was a repudiation of the central banking tyranny exported to the New World by the Bank of England. Few legacies have grown more despotic than the consequences of living under the rule of fractional reserve banking. Many good willed conservatives understand that the system is imploding. Some envision a second American Revolution that expels the remnant Tories that have hijacked our Federalism separation of powers form of government. Woefully, the prospects for a States Rights revolt are slim. However, the scenario of a domestic French Revolution style carnage is brewing with every escalation of the pompous arrogance worthy of a Jean-Joseph, marquis de Laborde or the manipulative usury of the House of Rothschild.

Worst violence after Mubarak, 'Egypt on brink of Islamic dictatorship'

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 04:34 AM PDT

Egypt's military rulers imposed an overnight curfew on Cairo's Tahrir Square and other parts of the capital, which is due to be lifted around now. It follows a violent eruption between Coptic Christians and security forces that have left at least 24 people dead. What began as a peaceful rally calling for justice over attacks on churches and radicalism, quickly turned into the most-violent episode since February's revolution. Military vehicles are clearly seen charging through crowds and ploughing into people, while army infantry fired rubber bullets and tear gas. Witnesses claim the escalation was sparked by unconnected trouble-makers, but state-owned media blames Christian protesters for instigating the violence. International relations expert Mark Almond says the unrest shows Egypt's secular status is under threat.

Euro Reckoning Amongst Long Term Threats

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 03:17 AM PDT

The Bundestag committed $590 billion to the EFSF of which Germany will provide $283 billion or almost half to resurrect euro zone economies. What did come from all parties is that they will refuse to commit one more pfennig to bailing out the six wayward countries. They opposed any effort to leverage the allocated total, there would be no Eurobonds, and they voiced opposition as being implacably opposed to moving decisions on monetary and fiscal policy out of the hands of sovereign states. There should be no expansion of policy to the EFSF under any circumstances. The next question will be how long will the funds last? Probably six months to a year and then the problem starts all over again.

The class warfare the rich don't understand

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 02:43 AM PDT

There have been rumblings in the corners of the Tea party movement for some time, but the minute president Obama announced that he was going to ask wealthy Americans to kick in a small bit more in taxes to help pay for some infrastructure improvements in his jobs proposal, the Republicans have been clutching their pearls and gasping for breath like Aunt Pittypat awaiting the arrival of the marauding Yankees.

Afghanistan, ten years of tragedy

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 02:09 AM PDT

On July 1, 2002, US planes bombed an Afghan wedding in the small village of Deh Rawud. Located to the north of Kandahar, the village seemed fortified by the region's many mountains. For a few hours, its people thought they were safe from a war they had never invited. They celebrated, and as customs go, fired intermittently into the air.

Albert Fish, or "Brooklyn Vampire," is one of the worst killers in the U.S. history. His chose exclusively children as his victims, whom he killed to eat their meat. The perversion of this man was so horrendous that no one ever doubted that he was mentally ill. Despite this fact, Fish was found sane and sentenced to death.

A Quick Note To Occupy Wall Street

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 12:10 AM PDT

I saw videos from several of OWS (Occupy Wall Street) rallies where people were chanting "Stop the wars. Tax the rich." I want to tell you something the operatives from the tax exempt Foundations, the sold out political parties and those 20 people at OWS in Manhattan who go to secretive meetings after 4 pm every day aren't telling you.

Zombie training? OWS Atlanta turns into collective hypnosis 'one voice' weirdness

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 12:00 AM PDT

Having an extensive background in studying linguistics and human psychology, I recognize mass hypnosis when I see it. The mind-numbing call-and-return vocalizations captured in this video reflect the same kind of mind control techniques used in cults, sporting events and even some church revival events. The whole point of this experience is to eliminate the individual mind and train everyone to think, and say, and do exactly what they are told to do by a "leaderless leader" who is really a mind control manipulator.

PBS documentary highlights marijuana's amazing ability to treat disease

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 12:00 AM PDT

This was made evident in a recent PBS documentary that highlighted marijuana's ability to alleviate pain, treat epilepsy, and even cure cancer. But now that the cat is out of the bag, the stage is being set for Big Pharma to freely synthesize and patent marijuana's healing components, not necessarily for the plant itself to become legalized.

Help put an end to water fluoridation by signing official 'We the People' petition

The White House recently created a new online portal called We the People that lets Americans voice their concerns and requests through petitions. Anyone can create a petition and, if a petition reaches or exceeds the minimum signature threshold, the government says it will issue an official response to it, and may even decide to comply with its requests.

Jerry Brown legalizes 12-year-old children giving 'consent' to Gardasil vaccine injections, but bans tanning beds for those under 18

Posted: 10 Oct 2011 12:00 AM PDT

For the record, HPV vaccines are widely linked to maiming and even killing countless children while contributing absolutely nothing to the body's real defense of cervical cancer (http://www.naturalnews.com/031279_H...). The entire fabrication of quack science behind HPV vaccines is nothing but a corporation fantasy created to drum up sales for vaccines. In contrast to that, tanning beds have actually been scientifically shown to increase vitamin D levels in people who are deficient in vitamin D (http://www.naturalnews.com/024687_V...) -- and that includes the vast majority of the population living in California.

American National Credit Explained

Posted: 09 Oct 2011 10:44 PM PDT

Dick EastmanRight now dollars come into existence when a banks make loans. Printing presses owned by government have nothing to do with monetary expansion. Big injections of capital that make a boom occur when dollars outside the economy -- held offshore, where most dollars are kept, are deposited in a US bank -- or someone takes a dollar out of their mattress where it has been for a long time and deposits it. As soon as that dollar is deposited, that deposit will move around as first one owner and then another writes a check on it. But that dollar has raised the total amount of money in the system by a dollar so that at some point some bank is going to see that visiting dollar on its books counted as excess reserves over and above what is needed to cover loans in the fractional reserve banking system. So, by the fractional reserve law, that bank is going to be able to make a new loan of 90 cents simply on the presence of that dollar on their books. Now there will be the original dollar moving around from checking account to checking account and this 90 cents will join it and also be moved around from checking account to checking account, where some bank is going to notice it as "excess reserves" and will make a new loan of 90 percent of the 90 cents, which is 81 cents what will also be jumping from checking account to checking account -- where some bank will see it excess reserve and will lend .9 of that amount which will be a new 72 and 9/10ths cents added to circulation of which some bank will lend 9/10ths and so on -- until the original one dollar has become, through fractional-reserve-system money creation a total very close to $10.00.
