US a Banana Republic with no middle class


Where Everything Begins

So if LIFE is where Everything begins-where will this new wrinkle begin to end? Will it be with a repeat of the 1920's and thirties, or will it be begin to reverse the fall that began in the 1980's and nineties? Either way whatever happens will fall directly on your shoulders, each and every one of us has a role to play in this-if we ever want to regain those freedoms that we mention so often yet never get to enjoy the use-of, anymore!

Senate Votes To Repeal ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’

The Senate voted decisively Saturday to repeal the “don’t ask, don’t tell” law, beginning the process of ending a 17-year ban on gays serving openly in the military and reversing decades of official military policy. In the end, the contentious bill passed by a lopsided 65 to 31as 57 members of the Senate Democratic caucus and eight Republicans voted to end the ban.


Napolitano Says DHS to Begin Battling Climate Change as Homeland Security Issue

The conference did not define “environmental justice,” and the only reference to the task force that can be found is on the DHS Web site. The June 2010 Department of Homeland Security Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan states “climate change has the potential to accelerate and intensify extreme weather events which threaten the nation’s sustainability and security.”

This plan also noted: “Many USCG [Coast Guard] and Customs and Border Protection facilities, by their mission, are located in the coastal zone which will be adversely impacted by sea level rise. Costs will increase for protecting existing facilities from the impacts of sea level rise and some facilities might have to be abandoned in the longer term.”


Financial Shocks in Europe and America: Explosion of the Western Public Debt Bubble

The second half of 2011 will mark the point in time when all the world’s financial operators will finally understand that the West will not repay in full a significant portion of the loans advanced over the last two decades. For LEAP/E2020 it is, in effect, around October 2011, due to the plunge of a large number of US cities and states into an inextricable financial situation following the end of the federal funding of their deficits, whilst Europe will face a very significant debt refinancing requirement (1), that this explosive situation will be fully revealed.

The Psychopath's Kettle Is Boiling

Like the frog in the kettle, the most notorious criminal gang in the world is coming to a boil. Their games are over and paybacks reside just over the horizon.

The Elitist’s One World paradigm is wracking apart under internet exposure, astounding failures in climate change, cap and trade, profligate bond and currency printing disasters and shocking new public relations failures by pseudo authorities to explain away the obvious. These bad boyz have been caught red-handed and even Chopper Ben admitted so in recent televised hearings.

A disconnect between these elitists and the common man seems a gulf too wide. Those that would control the world with stolen money, power and politics have finally met their match. At this juncture as they continue to flail away with old tools of fear, threats and illegal seizures, the herd on the ground has begun to fight back. We would suggest the cat’s out of the proverbial bag. The shaving crème is out of the can. Particularly in the USA, a new and nasty pushback has begun with a new internet army; and this is an army of revenge with many being armed to the teeth.

French piracy law allows banning websites without oversight

The French National Assembly on Wednesday approved a section of a bill that would allow the government to filter Internet sites blacklisted by the Ministry of the Interior. Section 4 of the Bill Loppsi 2 will allow this without judge or jury intervention and is meant to reduce child pornography sites and cybercrime. According to Le Point, many of the sites are hosted by countries abroad, and the Ministry of the Interior will send the blacklist to ISPs in order to block them.

UN considers panel of governments to set policies for policing the Internet

A United Nations task force formed last week said it was considering the creation of a new inter-governmental working group to help further international cooperation on policies to police the Internet.

The discussion was undertaken to "enhance" and extend the work of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), a UN-sponsored organization that makes recommendations on how governments should deal with the Internet. The IGF's mandate is due to expire soon, so members of the UN's Commission on Science and Technology for Development Bureau took up the issue and formed a task force to determine what the new IGF should look like. The bureau's members, however, decided their task force would be limited to governments only, with no representation by civil or industry groups.

Webmaster's Commentary: The Julian Assange hysteria has simply been a setup to allow the US to attempt to control the internet. Fortunately for the flow of free information, such an attempt will ultimately not be effective, as savvy net users will figure out ingenious workarounds, rendering such censorship efforts futile.

CIA Waterboarding Legal Defense: $5 Million Shield For Pair Of Contractors

Editor's Note: Yet another fine use of your money to consider as you are filling out your tax forms Adam Goldman and Matt Apuzzo Associated Press

When the CIA decided to waterboard suspected terror detainees in overseas prisons, the agency turned to a pair of contractors. The men designed the CIA's interrogation program and also personally took part in the waterboarding sessions...

Promoting Jewish Victimhood as Guise for Victimizing Palestinians

Last week the House of Commons unanimously passed a private member’s bill to establish a national Holocaust monument. While it is a good thing to commemorate the suffering of Jews in Europe, it is important to point out that uncritical support for Israel is part of the backdrop.

Webmaster's Commentary: Dear Canada. Israel has sucked the United States dry. You're next.

Bill C-36

The bill also gives inspectors the right to not only seize products, but the vehicles used to transport them. They can also examine any documents they want to. In addition, the legislation gives the government the right to disclose personal and business information to foreign governments without the consent of the parties involved. Webmaster's Commentary:

Dear Canada. Last warning. Stop this nonsense now before you turn into a third-world dictatorship like the United States.


PHOTO ESSAY ~~ NEW YORKERS DEFY THE COLD AND THE NYPD AS THEY STAND FOR PEACE

Powerful demo in Washington yesterday (see link below) but not a word in the NYT about it. Vets for Peace had 135 people, mainly vets, chain themselves to the railing around the White House, including Ellsberg, Hedges, and a major FBI whistleblower. All were arrested. At Times Sq. about 100 people, Vets & allies, had a peace rally where the names of those from NY that were killed in Afghanistan were read. Then 10 went into the gutter and blocked traffic, holding their peace signs, for at least 20 minutes, and they too were all arrested. There was some press there but nothiing was used.


WIKILEAKS’ EFFECT ON ISRAELI-US RELATIONS

While the US is forced to deal with scathing leaked information such as its meddling in Argentinian affairs, Israel’s own agenda is only gaining ground. Some have even postulated a potential Mossad or CIA connection to Julian Assange and Wikileaks.

According to the former Pakistani Chief of Intelligence, Hamid Gul, Wikileaks is designed to act as a controlled release of information, and disinformation designed to manipulate public opinion of Washington, and Iran.

In that issue Der Spiegel described a series of ”weather extremes” occurring all over the world, claiming they were unmistakable signs of a climate change to cooling: deluges of rain in West Germany, severe thunderstorms that uprooted trees and blew off roofs in Berlin, the worst storm in 100 years devastating much of Lower Saxony, hurricane Agnes inflicting 3 billion dollars in damage, floods in Japan and Peru, temperatures in Argentina, India and South Africa dropping to their lowest levels in 300 years.

More Than 1000 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims - Challenge UN IPCC & Gore

More than 1,000 dissenting scientists (updates previous 700 scientist report) from around the globe have now challenged man-made global warming claims made by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and former Vice President Al Gore. This new 2010 321-page Climate Depot Special Report -- updated from the 2007 groundbreaking U.S. Senate Report of over 400 scientists who voiced skepticism about the so-called global warming “consensus” -- features the skeptical voices of over 1,000 international scientists, including many current and former UN IPCC scientists, who have now turned against the UN IPCC. This updated 2010 report includes a dramatic increase of over 300 additional (and growing) scientists and climate researchers since the last update in March 2009.

PALESTINIAN STATEHOOD ON THE AGENDA

Curiously, among the hundreds of thousands of diplomatic cables leaked by WikiLeaks, there have been none concerning US-Israeli relations, although they rank high on Washington’s foreign policy agenda. An article in Indymedia on December 7, “WikiLeaks ‘struck a deal with Israel’ over diplomatic cable leaks,’ cites Arab and other sources to the effect that Assange accepted payment to keep Israel out of the leaks


Federal Government Cuts Off Recession Relief Money To States

Despite soaring unemployment and the 19 million Americans currently living in "deep poverty," federal funds for the Temporary Assistance For Needy Families (TANF) program have entirely dried up for the first time since 1996, leaving states with an average of 15 percent less federal funding for the coming year to help an ever-increasing number of needy families.

Obama asks Congress to ratify New START

President Barack Obama on Saturday asked the US Congress to come together to ratify the new arms control START agreement with Russia, warning that failure to approve it would result in serious consequences for the country's security.

"Ratifying a treaty like START is not about winning a victory for an administration or a political party, it is about the safety and security of the country," Obama said in his weekly radio address.


'Billionaires On the Warpath'?

The object of Mr. Sanders's ire was the deal between the White House and Republicans that will keep the Bush tax cuts in place. "The billionaires of America are on the warpath," was his explanation. "They want more and more and more."

Webmaster's Commentary: Just like the Federal Government!

Ice and snow nightmare is back

Richard Holbrooke and the Zionist War on Terror

Richard Holbrooke and the Zionist War on Terror July 7, 2009 By: Chris Bollyn
Understanding Holbrooke's mission in Central Asia requires knowing who this "hyperaggressive" Zionist "master of disaster" really is. War weary Americans who hoped the new Obama administration would change U.S. policies in Iraq and Afghanistan and bring the troops home must be sorely disappointed. The only Americans coming home these days are those who have died in the senseless conflict. More troops are being sent to fight a war that is understood neither by the American public nor by the people doing the fighting.

Israeli War Crimes' signs to go on Metro buses DEC 27 2010


SEATTLE -- "Israeli War Crimes," the enormous advertisement reads. "Your tax dollars at work."

It's an ad you'll be seeing soon on a handful of Metro buses in downtown Seattle. A group calling itself the Seattle Mideast Awareness Campaign has paid King County $1,794 so that 12 buses will carry that message around town, starting two days after Christmas. That's December 27: the two-year anniversary of Israeli attacks on Gaza, aimed at stopping rocket attacks and weapons smuggling. Ed Mast, a Seattle man who is a spokesperson for the group, says it's not meant to be an anti-Israel message, but a message designed to generate discussion and awareness.

Former top AIPAC official states that passing US secrets to Israel is routine for the Israel Lobby

By Philip Giraldi

Rosen claimed somewhat ominously that passing classified information obtained from government contacts was business as usual in Washington. He asked that high level witnesses including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, national security adviser Stephen J. Hadley, former Defense Department officials Paul D. Wolfowitz and Douglas J. Feith, and Richard L. Armitage, the former deputy secretary of state all be called on to testify that confidential information was frequently given to AIPAC for discreet passage to the Israeli Embassy.

FRANKLIN LAMB: Australia rejects Israeli ordered Media censorship on Al-Manar

The Grinch Meanwhile, Australian’s Zionist lobby received a triple painful dose of disappointment from the Grinch who stole Khanaka this year when in addition to the ACMA shock, Australian Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd announced that his government would be tripling its contributions to, one of AIJAC’s long pursued targets for dismantlement, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) by providing AUD 18 million over the coming three years.

Dream Amnesty Allows Obama To Grant Amnesty To All Illegals

CONTACT: Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC)
(866) 703-0864 WilliamG@alipac.us

ALIPAC is rallying talk radio show listeners and American citizens to call the US Senate to oppose the Dream Act Amnesty today. The bill contains a waiver that would allow the Secretary of Homeland Security and President Obama to grant Amnesty to most illegal immigrants in America.

"The Dream Act Amnesty is a Nightmare already and would displace several million innocent American students, workers, and voters," said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. "But now we find a waiver on page 5, line 21 of HR 5281 that allows Obama to grant Amnesty for most of the 12-20 million illegal aliens in America!"


FBI now spying on your garbage

Former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents are helping local authorities turn thousands of garbage collectors into a spy force that reports to the police. Reports say 100 Waste Management employees have already gone through a training program called Waste Watch, CBS 6 Albany/WRGB reported on Friday. "Because our job is collecting trash from local neighborhoods and businesses, we are a useful resource to identify illegal activity, or to help prevent a minor mishap from turning into a dangerous situation," said Ken Bevis, district manager of Waste Management in Albany, New York.

Goldman Sachs pay out $111million in bonuses despite taking billions in bailout money

Goldman Sachs bosses are to pick up $111million in bonuses in an 'outrageous' pay deal that flies in the face of the worst recession for 80 years. The investment banks' chief executive Lloyd Blankfein and president Gary Cohn will get $24million each under the bumper agreement that will see thousands of others get huge rewards. The bonuses were agreed in 2008 months before Goldman took $10billion of U.S. bailout money, but due to technicalities there is no way to stop the bank from paying them out.

9/11 Truth At Gainesville Commission Meeting

9/11 Truth Gainesville Commission Meeting

Commissioner Mastrodicasa was one of seven members to take time to respond, claiming she would not sign a petition for a new investigation even while knowing the 9/11 crimes have never been investigated. -- Occam's razor prescribes a simple default conclusion that a crime not investigated is a crime in need of investigation. -- Therefore, It matters not that evidence associated with a crime is not somehow interesting enough to apply commitment to a commissioner's oath of office.



Here’s Why FBI Is Orchestrating Fake Terror Plots

Why does the FBI orchestrate fake “terror plots”? The latest one snared Osman Mohamud, a Somali-American teenager in Portland, Ore. The Associated Press report is headlined: “Somali-born teen plotted car-bombing in Oregon.” This is a misleading headline as the report makes it clear that it was a plot orchestrated by federal agents. Two sentences into the news report we have this: “The bomb was an elaborate fake supplied by the [FBI] agents and the public was never in danger, authorities said.” The teenager was supplied with a fake bomb and a fake detonator. Three sentences later the reporters contradict the quoted authorities with a quote from Arthur Balizan, special agent in charge of the FBI in Oregon: “The threat was very real.”

Afghanistan: Opium, the CIA and the Karzai Administration

According to Peter Dale Scott, there is no point in deploring the expansion of drug production in Afghanistan and the heroin epidemic gripping great parts of the world. Conclusions must be drawn from the established facts: the Taliban eradicated poppy cultivation; NATO promoted it; drug money corrupted the Karzai government but it is especially inside U.S. institutions that drug corruption is rife. Therefore, the solution does not lie with Kabul but with Washington.


35 die in U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan's tribal region

Three drone strikes into the Khyber tribal region, bordering Afghanistan, is a sign of U.S. plan to expand drone attacks to other areas outside Waziristan region.
