In Motion: The Plot To Destroy The United States

“The 2010 election had one purpose, war with Iran, even if the risk is world conflict and the real loser, no matter what happens on the battlefield is the United States.”

Plans are in motion for a “false flag” attack on America. Iran will be blamed, everyone knows that and Iran will be totally innocent. This is the last thing Iran would ever want. The most likely scenario is a nuclear attack. Two bombs are missing, bombs built by Israel in South Africa and lost long ago. These were supposedly Saddam’s bombs. Now we are told Iran has them. Israel has had them all along and the fear, they may be inside the United States already.

Either pay the national debt with monetary reform or kiss your assets goodbye

In our current debt-based monetary system, we're never going to pay off the national debt.

This article will explain what the debt is, why we can never pay it, and the elegant and obvious solution proposed by Nobel Prize winning economist, Milton Friedman. Please read and understand this crucial information for your responsible citizenry. You literally have nothing more valuable to do.

The US national debt is approaching $12 TRILLION dollars. Of that amount, about 2/3 is owed to whomever among the public purchased US government debt securities (bills up to one year, notes from two to ten years, and bonds of 20 and 30 years) and 1/3 is intragovernmental transfers (US government agency purchases like Social Security surplus and other retirement funds). China and Japan hold about $750 and $650 billion, respectfully.

...The national debt doesn't include TOTAL US debt, which is ~$70 trillion. These numbers explain why our monetary system is called "debt-based."

United States Supreme Court Will Soon Issue a Landmark Decision on the Validity of the Constitution

Windsor has been involved in legal action in the federal courts in Atlanta since 2006. Windsor was named a defendant in a lawsuit (1:06-CV-0714-ODE) in which Christopher Glynn of Maid of the Mist in Niagara Falls, swore under oath that Windsor did a variety of things including the crimes of theft and bribery. Windsor stated under oath that Christopher Glynn made it all up and lied about absolutely everything that he swore. Windsor then obtained deposition testimony from Glynn and the other managers of the Maid of the Mist boat ride in Niagara Falls, and they admitted, under oath, that charges against Windsor were not true.

UK LibDem leader Nick Clegg pledges allegiance to Israel

Lib Dem leader says Israel’s voice has not been well enough represented within party

By Martin Bright, November 11, 2010

Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg wants to ‘clarify misunderstandings’

Deputy prime Minister Nick Clegg attempted to open a new chapter in the relationship between the Liberal Democrats and British Jews this week when he emphasised his party’s support for Israel and reiterated the coalition’s pledge to change the law on universal jurisdiction.

He told a lunch held by Liberal Democrat Friends of Israel that he was aware of past tensions, and was engaged in “an operation to clarify misunderstandings”.

Bank of America Is in Deep Trouble, and There May Be Financial Disaster on the Horizon

Will Bank of America be the first Wall Street giant to once again point a gun to its own head, telling us it'll crash and burn and take down the financial system if we don’t pony up for another massive bailout?

...There are alternatives. As in 2008, the federal government could put failing financial institutions into receivership. But some experts are saying that if we want to get off the roller coaster of an economy moving from one financial bubble to the next, a bolder approach is necessary: permanent nationalization of banks that can’t survive without public dollars.

...Several states have considered proposals to emulate North Dakota['s state-owned bank], but such a bold move would obviously be all but impossible in Washington. But it shouldn’t be off the table. Banks provide an “intermediary good” to the economy, creating no real value. But Big Finance’s speculation economy has caused great and real pain for the rest of us. As Joe Stiglitz put it, there’s no reason in the world the incentives of the banks shouldn’t be better aligned with the interests of the country and its citizens.

Michael Chertoff's Company Manufactures TSA Naked Scanners

Since the attempted bombing of a US airliner on Christmas Day, former Homeland Security secretary Michael Chertoff has given dozens of media interviews touting the need for the federal government to buy more full-body scanners for airports.

What he has made little mention of is that the Chertoff Group, his security consulting agency, includes a client that manufactures the machines. Chertoff disclosed the relationship on a CNN program Wednesday, in response to a question.


Interpol hunts two Israelis for Kosovo organ trafficking

Moshe Harel among seven indicted for membership of a criminal group trafficking people into Kosovo to remove human organs for transplant; another Israeli citizen, Zaki Shapira, identified as co-conspirator.

At least seven people, including an Israeli citizen, are suspected of involvement in an international network that falsely promised poor people payment for their kidneys and then sold the organs for as much as 100,000 euros ($137,000), according to an indictment obtained by The Associated Press.

Victims were promised up to $20,000 (14,500 euros), while recipients were required to pay between 80,000 and 100,000 euros ($110,000-$137,000).

Eric Cantor's Pledge of Allegiance

Anticipating that the extreme austerity measures which his party is demanding might sweep up foreign aid -- and therefore threaten the billions of dollars every year in American taxpayer money transferred to Israel -- Cantor last month proposed that money to Israel not be classifed any longer as "foreign aid" -- in order to shield it from all cuts. In other words, Cantor wants American citizens to sacrifice in the extreme, to lose all sorts of benefits and security in the name of austerity, but wants to shield Israel -- with a higher standard of living -- from those cuts. Put another way, Americans should give up Social Security and Medicare benefits so that they can continue to transfer billions of dollars every year to Israel, a foreign country which offers far more of a safety net to its own citizens. But don't you dare accuse Eric Cantor of haboring allegiance to Israel and subordinating U.S. interests to this foreign country. That would be extremely wrong of you to insinuate.

George Bush is Not a War Criminal in Jon Stewart’s World?

Jon Stewart is still trying to run damage control over the “Million Moderate March” but it seems, like Rand Paul, when confronted with the opportunity to speak off the cuff, it would probably be better if he had just kept his mouth shut.

“You’ve said, ‘Bush is war criminal.’ Now that may be technically true. In my world ‘war criminal’ is Pol Pot or the Nuremberg trials,” Stewart replied.

“I think that’s such an incendiary charge that when you put it into a conversation: ‘Well technically he is.’ Well that may be right but it feels like a conversation stopper, not a conversation starter.” Jon Stewart

Hillary Clinton confirms, US trained Osama Bin Laden

Ms. Clinton accepted that the U.S. had created certain radical outfits and supported terrorists like Osama bin Laden to fight against the erstwhile Soviet Union, but that backing has boomeranged. “Part of what we are fighting against right now, the United States created. We created the Mujahidin force against the Soviet Union (in Afghanistan). We trained them, we equipped them, we funded them, including somebody named Osama bin Laden. And it didn’t work out so well for us,” she said.

Are new security screenings affecting your decision to fly?

Are you less likely to fly because of stepped-up security procedures such as full-body scans and patdowns?

Webmaster's Commentary:

My letter to the local newspaper, the StarAdvertiser...

(This letter is being posted to whatreallyhappened.com in connection with the Reuter’s poll described, as will your reply and whether the letter was published by you or not.)

Reuter’s just ran a poll asking people if the new intrusive security screenings at airports might affect their decision to fly.

As of this writing, 97% of respondents replied that they would indeed change travel plans to avoid terahertz scanners (now known to damage skin DNA and increase the risk of cancer) and the highly intrusive body searches.

I had a caller into my talk radio show yesterday who used to work in Berlin before the fall of the USSR and she reported that crossing Check Point Charlie into East Berlin was nowhere near the hassle of getting through a US airport, and that the Russian soldiers were quite polite and respectful compared to TSA workers. You know your nation has hit rock bottom in the dictatorship department when the Soviet guards look better than TSA!

It is time to face facts. Hawaii’s present economic disaster is directly attributable to the destruction of tourism caused by the TSA. I grieve that none of our state leaders have the moral courage to stand up and denounce this charade that is strangling our state’s tourism economy. Although the papers may proclaim that all is well, my wife and I took a stroll in Waikiki recently, where newspaper platitudes cannot conceal the numerous commercial vacancies and sparse crowds. Compared to Hawaii as it was when my wife and I first moved here thirteen years ago, Waikiki is a ghost town.

And TSA is to blame.

According to Harvard Business School, TSA does not actually make us any safer. The fact is that since 9-11, there has not been a single incident of attempted terror or hijacking originating from a domestic US airport. The few “wag the terrorist” attempts we see in the media usually involve foreign airports where the suspect is walked around the existing airport security by anonymous officials as was the case with the staged crotch-bomber incident last Christmas, when Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was walked around the body scanners at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport by an official for ICTS security and allowed to board a plane for the US without a passport. (As a side note, ICTS was also in charge of security at the airport where the Shoe Bomber walked around security, as well as every airport the 9-11 planes departed from, but I digress). Even DHS admits that half of their practice bombs get through TSA despite the groping and fondling. A real terrorist (as opposed to Adam Gadahn, whose real name is Adam Pearlman, or Youssef Al-Khattab, whose real name is Joseph Cohen, or Abu Tellah Al-Amrikee, the “muslim” who threatened South Park and whose real name is Zachery Chesser) would accept a fifty-fifty chance to get a bomb on a plane, knowing that if he is detected at the security checkpoint, he can detonate the bomb there and still accomplish the mission of disrupting US travel. Of course, there are no real terrorists disrupting US travel; the TSA hates competition, and jokes aside, the only terrorists are the ones being wagged about to justify another war on whoever it is we are supposed to two-minute-hate this week. Eastasia (I think).

So why does this abuse go on, slowing dragging Hawaii down into abject poverty and ruin? Well, because while Hawaiians may starve (we have over 4000 homeless on Oahu alone) these security machines are making their owners very rich indeed! Just as Eisenhower faced the “Military Industrial Complex” of the fifties, today we are dealing with a “Security Industrial Complex”; a cadre of opportunists who wave terrorists at us in the same fashion their predecessors waved “Commies” at our parents,. And for the same reason; to scare us all out of money and obedience. Michael Chertoff kicked off this airport security hysteria while head of Homeland Security, then left his job to found the Chertoff Group, which profits handsomely providing security consulting, services and systems to airports around the country. Chertoff Group also employs General Michael V. Hayden, former director of both the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency. These are all the people who mandated increased airport security, and now as private citizens profit handsomely from their own policies made while in office. This is classic political looting of the public; create a crisis that does not really exist, and sell the people a solution. Commies. Terrorists. Carbon Dioxide. Killer bees. Over and over and over again. Wake up and smell the rubber gloves, people! You have been HAD! Swindled, Bamboozled, Conned! And the Chertoff group is not the only player getting rich off of the gratuitous fear-mongering.

Killer bees have gone away, along with Y2K and the 1970s claim that we were headed into a new ice age. Even the global warming/CO2 crowd are in retreat with the collapse of Obama and Al Gore’s Chicago Climate Exchange. If Hawaiians wish to save Hawaii the time has come to stop quaking in fear at the fiery head of the great and powerful Wizard of Oz and realize it’s just a greedy old snake oil salesman behind a curtain flashing lights at us and trying to scare us into taking on the Wicked Witch of the West. (Don’t do it; witches have air superiority).

We need a political leadership that will stand up to the hoaxers and say that they have looted enough money at Hawaii’s expense. We need a local media that serves the Hawaiian people rather than the security industrial complex.

Only time will tell if we get them.

US Air, Stop the Lies

In a letter dated Nov 6th, I shared how deep my concern is rooted: I was in tears last weekend as I contemplated the corner that the airline industry has backed me into. I must either become a victim of voyeurism or become a victim of sexual assault in order to take my daughter to see her grandparents, great aunt, great uncle, and great grandmother for Christmas. Not only that, but I have to make the same choice for my child. I absolutely will not allow either of us to be victims of abuse.

Webmaster's Commentary:

What happens if half to three quarters of the people who travel decide to never get on a plane again?!?

It will be devastating for the airline, hospitality, and restaurant industries.

Unfortunately, unless this insanity by TSA stops, that is precisely what will happen.

The 120 men and women were attending the International First Responder-Military Symposium, held at Hilbert College, a small “Franciscan tradition” place of learning. Not that St. Francis would have been interested in a military symposium, but if he’d been able to attend, he’d have heard all about a new technology that will help identify and track “terrorists.”

A lot of very disparate people have been tagged with that term of late. But this new tech may well be the final icing on the cake. It’s a computer program that trawls phone conversations, emails, and social networking sites looking for any signs of resentment of the government.

That’s right. If you’re angry at Washington, they want to know who you are and what you’re saying.

Webmaster's Commentary:

One has to wonder just how soon those elements of US institutionalized torture and indefinite detainment might utilized by this government against anyone who believes they have a right to their own opinions, even if those opinions do not square with governmental policies.

This country is slouching toward becoming a dictatorship of incredible magnitude, and most people don't seem to be awake enough to see it coming.


US allies take hit from QE2

It will be interesting to people who learned about the multiplier effect of fractional reserves in college economics classes that the famous multiplier doesn't seem to work in situations like this. [6]

Instead of the $650 billion in cash racing through the economy and stimulating trillions of dollars of domestic lending, it will probably land with a dull thud on the balance sheets of the big money center banks, to be shoveled up and tossed into the maw of emerging overseas markets instead.

The dollar inflows translate into higher exchange rates and reduced exports.

Twilight Zone / Safed, a war story

The city is roiling: It recently hosted an "emergency conference" of 18 rabbis and 400 of their followers on this issue. There was an armed attack on an Arab student apartment. A Jewish legal ruling was handed down by the city's chief rabbi, Shmuel Eliyahu. Mayor Ilan Shohat and veteran resident Eliyahu Tzvieli, who rented an apartment to Bedouin students, have received threats. The message is: Arabs, go home.

Webmaster's Commentary:

Not that these Israelis are in the slightest way being racist, or anything tacky like that!

Climate change no longer scares Europe

The fight against the delusion of dangerous man-made global warming remains an uphill struggle. For decades, the climate debate has been obfuscated by cherry-picking, spin-doctoring and scaremongering by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and other climate alarmists, including the environmental movement and mainstream media. Their massive campaign to overstate the threat of man-made warming has left its imprint on public opinion.

White House: Not seeking Bibi confrontation Main Content White House: Not seeking Bibi confrontation - Ben Smith: White House: Not seeking Bibi confrontation November 12, 2010 Categories: * Middle East White House: Not seeking Bibi confrontation

On a conference call with American Jewish leaders today, a White House official said the administration hadn't sought a confrontation with the Israelis over a new construction announcement. President Barack Obama answered a question at a press conference on the subject straightforwardly but hadn't specifically planned to make a statement criticizing new Israeli building, National Security Council official Dan Shapiro said on the call, according to a participant.The White House prefers not to litigate its differences with Israel in public, Shapiro told the group.

Webmaster's Commentary: Anything Israel does is just fine with Obama. The destruction of any meaningful dialogue for peace by aggressively building on Palestinian land?!? No problem! The spitting in the faces of Obama, Clinton, and Mitchell on the part of the Israeli government by continuing to build?!? No problem!

The continued acceptance of American taxpayer funded aid which is illegal under the Symington Amendment, because Israel does have nuclear weapons and refuses to sign the NNPT? No problem!


British House of Lords: 1 Nov 2010


This video provides a larger context for the earlier clip regarding the mythical "Foundation X". In this expanded clip, we start with Christopher Story explaining the links between CIA and the EU, and the pure criminality of the US financial system, including the illegality of derivatives. Christopher makes a convincing argument that the US financial system is using the money looted from the rest of the world to reshape future politics. We then segue to Lord James and his rant about "Foundation X", suggesting that this hoax is another aspect of the globalist agenda.


The Obama Administration: Covering up Old Crimes While Committing New Ones

Justice and accountability for the crimes of the Bush regime and the Obama administration have been denied once again this week by Obama’s Department of Justice (DOJ). On November 09, 2010 Special Federal Prosecutor John Durham made it clear that he will not bring criminal charges against any of the CIA personnel involved in the destruction of videotapes depicting the torture of alleged "terrorists."

The Obama administration is now covering up the cover up of torture crimes.

Webmaster's Commentary:

With this President, "hope and change" morphed into "shock and awe" faster than the speed of light.

Allawi: 'Power-sharing is dead now'

Former Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi offered Friday a grim prediction for the future of Iraq's government a day after leading his Iraqiya bloc's walkout from parliament in a dramatic display of unhappiness with a power-sharing agreement that had been forged earlier in the week.

"We think the concept of power-sharing is dead now," the secular Shiite told CNN. "It's finished."


Khadr’s Coerced Confession

The boy’s treatment after capture didn’t improve. Our rulers imprisoned him at Gitmo as an "enemy combatant." This totally unconstitutional, politically convenient category allows the Feds to play games with words and men’s lives by denying that prisoners of war are in fact prisoners of war. The prize? Since "combatants" aren’t POWs, the Feds may ignore international treaties and inflict such atrocities as torture. Webmaster's Commentary:

The US has now institutionalized both torture, and indefinite detention.

Having established both, there is now no guarantee that this same government will not visit these processes on American citizens who simply have a logical disagreement with policies of this government.

Asian Powers Are Starting to Call the Shots, and the US Can't Do Anything About It

Blocked from major new domestic initiatives by a Republican victory in the midterm elections, President Barack Obama promptly lit out for Asia, a far more promising arena. That continent, after all, is rising, and Obama is eager to grasp the golden ring of Asian success.

Beyond being a goodwill ambassador for ten days, Obama is seeking sales of American-made durable and consumer goods, weapons deals, an expansion of trade, green energy cooperation, and the maintenance of a geopolitical balance in the region favorable to the United States. Just as the decline of the American economy hobbled him at home, however, the weakness of the United States on the world stage in the aftermath of Bush-era excesses has made real breakthroughs abroad unlikely.

Although the guillotine has never been used in the United States as a legal method of execution (it had been considered in the 19th century before the electric chair), in 1996 Georgia state legislator Doug Teper proposed the guillotine as a replacement for the electric chair as the state's method of execution to enable the convicts to act as organ donors.

Monetary Stalemate: Quantitative Easing Won't Work

Mr. Bernanke’s new round of debt buying has upset nations worldwide, yields in the US fell and the stock market rose, as did gold, silver and commodities. QE2 won’t work and everyone in the beltway knows that, just like eight years ago they knew Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were broke and that they would be nationalized at taxpayer expense. The problems won’t be fixed – they will just get worse as we head for QE3. That’s because there is no solution short of purging the system, which they know has to be done in time.
