BILL IN WORKS TO MAKE ALL FRAUD OF BANKS LEGAL RETROACTIVELY!

After years of negative judicial decisions about the use of a straw-man on mortgages, MERS was about to lose its existence as well as its credibility. But now all of that is set to change as Wall Street money is pouring into the coffers of those who are receptive (i.e., almost everyone in Congress). The legislation is already being drafted under the interstate commerce clause to ratify MERS and everything it did retroactively. It appears that the Obama administration is ready to pardon all the securitization deviants by signing this bill into law. This information is corroborated by several people who are in sensitive positions — persons who would be the first to know such proposals.


Western media frightened of the "F" word in its Israeli context

Alan Hart views the rapid rise of fascism in Israel and contrasts the debate taking place there regarding the extent to which the Zionist entity has become fascist with the Western mainstream media's unwillingness to give voice to those Israeli Jews who can see fascism coming.

Robo-Signing Is Child's Play Compared To This - Bank of America Allegedly LYING To State & Federal Courts About Fraudulent Foreclosures in Kentucky

This is a hell of a story. Legal documents included.

This sort of abuse is far more serious than robo signing. This practice has all the appearances of MULTIPLE COVERUPS. The steps undertaken here look to be a deliberate, concerted effort for the bank to get its way, THE LAW BE DAMNED.

ZIONISM IS POISONING ISRAEL

If “Am Yisrael Chai” is to be a relevant chant in the future, it will be the young Jews who stood up and protested in New Orleans who will make it so. 100 years of nationalist conflict and 43 years of occupation have corrupted the Jewish community and are poisoning Israel. Let’s hope my generation, and the generation of my parents, haven’t made it impossible for them to save us.

WHERE ARE THE INDICTMENTS?

In one case handled by Jacksonville Area Legal Aid, a homeowner refinanced her house in 2005 but almost immediately got into trouble, going into default in December of that year. Yet somehow, this woman's loan was placed into a trust called Home Equity Loan Trust Series AE 2005-HE5 in January 2006 — five months after the deadline for that particular trust. The loan was not only late, it was already in foreclosure — which means that, by definition, whoever the investors were in AE 2005-HE5 were getting shafted.

Webmaster's Commentary:

Air raid targets southern Gaza

The armed wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine said its members clashed with Israeli forces near the Kisufim gate east of Khan Younis after shooting an Israeli soldier. leading to the aerial raid.

An Israeli military spokesman confirmed that aerial vehicles struck a building in central Gaza "where armed militants were hiding. They were suspected of planning to fire at IDF forces and attempting to plant an explosive device earlier today.

Webmaster's Commentary:

So, the Israeli government is so desperately trying to justify these strikes that they are resorting to alleged Palestinian "thought crimes", where people are "... suspected of planning to fire at IDF forces"?!?


White House rejects criminal charges in CIA destruction of torture videos

The five-year statute of limitations for criminally prosecuting the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officials who destroyed videos depicting torture during interrogations expired Monday with no charges being filed. The lapsing of the case followed a nearly three-year-long investigation by a special prosecutor.

Before their destruction, government officials were ordered by courts to preserve all records of so-called "enhanced interrogations." Both before and after the videos were destroyed, officials lied repeatedly about the recordings’ existence.

Monday’s non-action is the latest by the Obama administration to cover up Bush era war crimes.

Webmaster's Commentary:

Unflipping believable, but thoroughly predictable from "Bush-Lite" Obama.


The rich foreclose in spectacular fashion – Pasadena million dollar home has owners unable to pay the mortgage yet keep getting mortgages.

What I found interesting on this place is that two buyers lost this home through foreclosure. The person that bought this place in 2002 had a NOD filed in July of 2005. By October 2005 the place was scheduled for foreclosure. This is how quickly things move in a bubble market since the bank knew the seller could sell and make a profit. Keep in mind that the people had already had issues making payments but were able to unload the home for $2,300,000. So think about how many people got saved like this during the bubble years. The initial owner was unable to make the payment at $1,300,000 yet they turned close to a $1 million profit even though they were in default!


Lurching Toward Gomorrah: Growing Israeli Fascism

Disturbing signs are ominous. On November 8, Israel demolished and ransacked a Negev Bedouin Arab mosque in Rahat, removing it for Jewish development. Professor Yousef Salamah called it "a criminal act," done on the pretext that it was unlicensed. "These are not new acts but were preceded by many incidents and attacks, when the Israeli authorities demolished dozens of mosques inside Israel, turning some into museums, barns, restaurants, synagogues and parking lots."

Webmaster's Commentary:

One might think that after the terrible experiences Jewish people had experienced at the hands of the Nazis, that their descendants in Israel would be poster children for justice, human rights, and human dignity for all; sadly, just the absolute opposite appears to be happening here.


Afghanistan War: Bulldozing through Kandahar

The U.S. military has destroyed hundreds of Afghan civilian homes, farm houses, walls, trees and plowed through fields and buildings using explosives and bulldozers in war-torn Zhari district, a practice that has begun to anger Afghan villagers.

To pay for the damage, the U.S. military here is giving Afghans compensation cards for the damaged property. Villagers take the cards to the Afghan government's district center at Camp Wilson, the main American base here. U.S. commanders said the system forces locals to work with their government — which is the overall goal of the operation.

Webmaster's Commentary:

Even if compensation actually gets to the people whose properties have been destroyed, this "scorched earth" policy will be perceived (and justly) as revenge, complete with all the modern enhancements, against local Afghanis for not cooperating with the US/NATO occupation.


Students Protest, Israeli Soldiers Tear Gas Elementary School On Anniversary of Yasser Arafat’s Death

Soldiers tear gassed a girls elementary school in Beit Ommar this morning following a student demonstration commemorating the anniversary of Yasser Arafat’s death. Three hundred students ages 7 to 15 marched from the Beit Ommar il-Assasiyya boys school to the checkpoint at the entrance of the village waving Palestinian flags and chanting against the occupation. Several students gave speeches in memory of Yasser Arafat.

Webmaster's Commentary:

Wow, it must make IDF soldiers feel soooooo butch, teargassing...children!

Threatening Russia and Iran? US and NATO deploy missile defense system in Turkey

Given the situation, many military and political experts in Russia come to the conclusion that by building such a system the United States seeks to offset the missile potential of Russia by deploying missile defense bases along the entire length of the Russian territory. Washington is aiming for a global missile defense shield, elements of which are already being built in the Far East, in the Indian Ocean and in the northern seas. Reports of the so-called “Turkish factor” have become particularly frequent ahead of NATO and Russia-NATO summits in Lisbon on November 19th and 20th.

Israeli warplanes over Lebanon

Six Israeli warplanes have penetrated the Lebanese airspace again and flew over parts of the country in flagrant violation of a UN Security Council resolution.

The Israeli aircrafts crossed into Lebanese airspace over the southern border village of Kfar Kila at 9:30 a.m. local time (0630 GMT) on Tuesday and conducted several unwarranted flights above southern Lebanon as well as the capital Beirut, a Press TV correspondent in Beirut cited a statement released by the Lebanese military.

Israel violates Lebanon's airspace on an almost daily basis, claiming they serve surveillance purposes.

Webmaster's Commentary:

Israel appears to be hell-bent on reigniting a war against Lebanon, which could, given the number of defense pacts within the region, (and outside, as in the 30 billion dollar defense pact the US has with Israel) go regional if not global.


America’s Devolution Into Dictatorship

The US Justice (sic) Department even told US Federal District Court Judge John Bates that the US judiciary, formerly a co-equal branch of government, has absolutely no legal authority whatsoever to stick its nose into President “Change” Obama’s decision to assassinate Americans. The unaccountability of the president’s decision to murder people is, the US Justice (sic) Department declared, one of “the very core powers of the president as commander in chief.”

If the Obama Regime wins this case, the US will have become a dictatorship

Webmaster's Commentary:

If extrajudicial assassinations become institutionalized into US law as the outcome of this case, the rights of Americans recognized by the Constitution and Bill of Rights for generations will be gone from this country forever.


Paul Craig Roberts: Phantom Jobs

If we cannot trust what the government tells us about weapons of mass destruction, terrorist events, and the reasons for its wars and bailouts, can we trust the government’s statement last Friday that the US economy gained 151,000 payroll jobs during October?

The relevant information, the information that you need to know, is that the level of payroll employment today is below the level of 10 years ago. A smaller number of Americans are employed right now than were employed a decade ago.

Think about what that means. We have had a decade of work force growth from youngsters reaching working age and from immigration, legal and illegal, but there are fewer jobs available to accommodate a decade of work force entrants than before the decade began.

German people in unprecedented rebellion against government: 1000 injured in protests in nuclear protests: police at breaking poin

The German people stopped a train--guarded by 17,000 police troops!-- from delivering nuclear reactor radioactive waste that would have endangered people. This report of events in Germany emphasizes the non-violent aspect of the rebellion, but some of the protestors, contrary to the philosophy of nonviolence, applied force: “A water cannon truck [that would have been used by the police to remove protestors] was blocked by tractors.”

Webmaster's Commentary:

GOOD ON THE GERMANS!!


YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE JEWISH TO BE PROUD OF THESE YOUNG PEOPLE

Remember a few days ago I posted about a group of young Jews that disrupted Netanyahu’s speech in New Orleans? (Watch video at the end of this post)

Well…. they are more than just a rowdy bunch of agitators as can be seen in the following….

We can all be proud of these brave young men and women!


RABBINICAL REIGN OF TERROR

The rabbis’ statements have provoked a series of riots by local religious Jews, in which several homes have been attacked to chants of “Death to the Arabs.” In one recent incident, three Palestinian students were beaten as shots were fired.


AI wants Bush on trial over torture

The London-based Amnesty International (AI) has called for a criminal investigation into former US President George W. Bush's admission of torture.

UN chief points to deteriorating situation in Lebanon

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Wednesday said the situation in Lebanon is deteriorating in his latest report on the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, UN spokesman Farhan Haq told reporters here.

Webmaster's Commentary:

Israel is looking for any provocation to re-invade Lebanon, and this time, should such an action happen, they will go all the way to the Litani river, because they desperately need the water.

The question is, will this have broader implications regarding such conflict spilling over into neighboring countries, like Syria, which has a defense pact with Iran?

And please remember: as reported on 17 August 2007 at:

http://www.tradearabia.com/news/DEF_128901.html

"US signs $30bn defence pact with Israel"

"The United States sealed a deal on Thursday to provide Israel with $30 billion in defence grants over the next decade.

This is a 25 percent boost that Washington describes as strengthening a bulwark against Iran."

Also, as reported on 11 August, 2010 at:

http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticle09.asp?xfile=data/middleeast/2010/August/middleeast_August222.xml&section=middleeast

"Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon, Ghazanfar Roknabadi, has since said Teheran was ready to help the Lebanese army in a meeting with army chief General Jean Kahwaji, according to Iran’s official IRNA agency."

If Israel re-invades Lebanon, look for such a conflict to go regional, if not potentially global.


WHILE YOU LOSE YOUR HOMES, THE US GOVERNMENT SPENDS YOUR TAXES TO ARM ISRAEL!

U.S. weaponry, ammunition and war supplies stored in Israel will reach a record $1.2 billion by 2012 under legislation aimed at increasing operational readiness of U.S. forces and their allies in high-threat areas.

Webmaster's Commentary:

No government can serve two masters...


Latest QE threatens the world

On Nov. 3, the Fed announced it will create 600 billion new dollars over the next eight months and use the money to buy U.S. government bonds. The media has dubbed this latest round of easing “Quantitative Easing 2,” but it is really the third such massive round of money creation, and this time, it may prove especially dangerous for the world economy.


U.S. to store another $400m worth of emergency military equipment in Israel

The U.S. government is to move an additional $400 million worth of military equipment to emergency storage in Israel over the next two years.

The equipment, which includes so-called smart bombs, will stand at Israel's disposal in an emergency.

The U.S. Congress approved the hike last month, which will bring the value of American military equipment stockpiled in Israel to $1.2 billion by 2012.

Webmaster's Commentary:

One has to wonder just what this equipment will be used for.

That figure 1.2 billion dollars keeps rattling around in my head, and I can imagine how that might be used to shore up crumbling infrastructure here at home.

But the final insult to American taxpayers here is that, because Israel does have nuclear weapons, but refuses to be a signatory to the NNPT, every cent in aid given to Israel since the passage of the Symington Amendment is absolutely illegal under US law; of course, US law isn't something that gets in the way of aid to Israel, ever.


Secretary Clinton: No Role for Turkey, Brazil in Nuke Talks with Iran

Secretary Clinton on Wednesday ruled out any other country’s involvement in talks between Iran and the P5+1 -- comprised of the U.S., UK, France, Germany, Russia and China -- even as Iran proposes to hold the next round of negotiations in Turkey, a country that, along with Brazil, tried to strike a nuke deal with Tehran earlier this year.

“It is a P-5 plus one meeting with the Iranians,” Clinton told reporters. “At this moment, the offer of discussions with the Iranians is in that forum, and that is the appropriate venue for any discussion on any issue to occur.”

Webmaster's Commentary:

Translation: in this dissing of Turkey and Brazil for their attempts to make a genuine breakthrough here, Clinton is making it clear that she wants to see this talks fail.

Should these talks fail, with all the sabre-rattling the US has done at Iran, the next thing we will see is the ramp up to military confrontation.

But if Obama thinks such a confrontation will make him look "butch" for the American voters for the 2010 election, and that it will deflect the focus away from the tremendous economic pain the American people have been suffering, he is dead wrong: so are the Republicans who might support such a conflict.

This would be one of the worst decisions Obama could possibly make in a presidency chock-full of really bad decisions.


THE LOOTING OF SOCIAL SECURITY TO BALANCE THE FEDERAL BUDGET

HOLLINGS: Well, the truth is...ah, shoot, well, we all know there's Washington's math problem. Alan Sloan in this past week's Newsweek says he spends 150%. What we've been doing, Mr. Chairman, in all reality, is taken a hundred billion out of the Social Security Trust Fund, transferring it over to the spending column, and spending it. Our friends to the left here are getting their tax cuts, we getting our spending increases, and hollering surplus, surplus, and balanced budget, and balanced budget plans when we continue to spend a hundred billion more than we take in.

Webmaster's Commentary:

Today's news reports efforts by the government and the very rich to drastically cut social security benefits. Although the media may react in shock as if this is a new and unexpected development, the fact is that WRH reported this trend back in 1998 when it became obvious that the Clinton administration was looting the cash set-aside for the baby boomer retirements to manufacture its phony budget surplus. Of course, the Clinton administration called these cash transfers "loans", but clearly if the government was borrowing from the people during what were hailed as economic boom times, there was never going to be a situation in which the government could redeem those "loans", and here we are with the US Government telling the American workers that after a life time of paying social security taxes, the benefits "must" be cut, because after all we had to buy Israel a whole lot of F-35s and those wars killing the people Israel does not like cost a lot of cash, and of course, it's taking trillions of dollars to keep the government's pals on Wall Street out of jail!

Clinton To Meet With Israel's Netanyahu

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is due today to hold talks with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, amid continuing difficulties in the Middle East peace process over Israeli settlement building in the West Bank.

Clinton, who is due to meet with Netanyahu in New York City, on November 10 said Israel's plan to proceed with more settlement building was counterproductive to peace negotiations -- but said she believes a deal with the Palestinians is still possible.

Webmaster's Commentary:

The fact that Netanyahu is meeting with Clinton, and not Obama, has infinitely less to do with the situation with the Palestinians than looking at what Clinton might be able to deliver to him geopolitically in the next two years of a very probable one-term presidency.

The "quid pro quo" is very clear here.


TSA porno-scanners: what they’re really looking for

“Female, anomaly, right breast.”

“Female, clear.”

“Male, clear.”

“Male, anomaly, right torso.”

“Female, anomaly, abdomen.”

The two suddenly erupt in laughter. I don’t know the joke, but it is all too easy to imagine what they find amusing.

The litany goes on, and I’m left to contemplate the dying Republic and the loss of any pretense of freedom, dignity, or basic decency. The contempt of the government for its victims is obvious. There is no reason to think that strip searches will stay confined to airports.

Russia Asks G-20 to Cut Investment Barriers to Offset Hot Money

Russia will urge Group of 20 policy makers to remove barriers to long-term investment in developed countries to help emerging economies counter capital inflows as the U.S. pumps $600 billion into its economy.

The proposal would offset the money flooding into emerging markets by creating an “oncoming flow” of capital to industrialized nations, said Arkady Dvorkovich, senior economic adviser to President Dmitry Medvedev, at a Moscow briefing before the G-20 summit, which begins today in Seoul.

“Large-scale, cross-border investments can serve exactly to stabilize the situation,” Dvorkovich said. “They will, in effect, replace investments into sovereign securities of the developed countries and help regulate the imbalances that appear as a result of high deficits and surpluses.”

Webmaster's Commentary:

Translation: thanks to Bernake's "quantitative easing", the US dollar is about to become the kryptonite of the currency trade.

Warning For North Korea As G20 Leaders Meet

Webmaster's Commentary:

IF the best Obama can do is threaten North Korea, which has a very clear understanding of what happens to a nation without a nuclear deterrent (as in the case of Iraq), and make some kind of vanilla statement about how the G20 will work '...to achieve balanced, sustainable economic growth, then things are going very badly for the US at this conference.


An Open Letter To The SS Cat Food Commission

Here's the final paragraph

"In this environment, selling 'cuts to social security' is not going to work, and considering the role you both played in creating the irresponsible federal spending machine that now controls Washington and has bankrupted future unborn generations, fuck you for even bringing it up."


WESTERN MEDIA FRIGHTENED OF THE “F” WORD IN ITS ISRAELI CONTEXT

The real struggle today is not between leftists and rightists, but rather, between democrats and fascists.”
As Einstein observed all those years ago, the American public “must” be informed about what is really happening in Israel. But there’s no chance that it will be as long as the mainstream media is unwilling to give voice to those Israeli Jews who can see fascism coming.

Airborne rebellion: Group urges ‘national opt-out day’ for airport body scanners

TSA employee reportedly admitted pat-down involving touching of genitals meant to intimidate people into using body scanners

As public anger grows over the TSA's body scanners and intrusive new airport pat-down procedure, a Web site is urging travelers to "opt out" from the body scanners and instead choose to have a pat-down in public view, so that everyone can "see for themselves how the government treats law-abiding citizens."

OptOutDay.com declares November 24 to be the day when air travelers should refuse to submit to a full body scan and choose the enhanced pat-down -- an option many travelers have described as little short of a molestation.

Webmaster's Commentary:

I want to see this "pat down procedure" happen to Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano, in full view of the cameras!
