News stories for Wednesday, December 1, 2010 Part 1

Wiki-releases planned in advance: Iran?

Iran's President has questioned the recent leaked documents obtained and published by the Wikileaks website, saying the US administration "released" material intentionally. In response to a question by Press TV on Monday over the whistleblower website's "leaks," President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said "let me first correct you. The material was not leaked, but rather released in an organized way." "The US administration released them and based on them they pass judgment …. [The documents] have no legal value and will not have the political effect they seek," the Iranian chief executive added at the press briefing in Tehran. Ahmadinejad stressed that the Wikileaks "game" is "not worth commenting upon and that no one would waste their time reviewing them."


U.S. announces new Iran sanctions

European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton and Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili agreed Tuesday to hold talks in Geneva on Dec. 6-7 in an attempt to jump-start stalled negotiations over Iran's nuclear program, an announcement said. Webmaster's Commentary: Translation: the US (and Israel) are doing everything they can to scuttle these talks, then using Iran's alleged "intransigence" as the excuse for some kind of military action.


OF COURSE the Christmas Tree Bomber Mohamed Osman Mohamud was set up. Here's how the sting works (it's part of most security organizations' graduation exercises)

Later statements are simply invented to fit whatever sting is laid on, like 'Mohamed Osman Mohamud, a 19-year-old Oregon State student who is a Somali-born naturalized U.S. citizen, told undercover FBI agents that he wanted to detonate a bomb near Pioneer Square in Portland, Ore., during the annual lighting of the Christmas tree there on Friday because he wanted to kill Americans while “they were with their families celebrating the holidays,” according to an FBI affidavit.' Webmaster's Commentary:

My experience with the "fibbies" is that they are not too bright. They confuse a willingness to play dirty with being smarter than everyone else around them.

GREAT MOMENTS IN THE HISTORY OF THE FBI.

"[Your information is] too precise, too complete to be believed. The questionnaire plus the other information you brought spell out in detail exactly where, when, how, and by whom we are to be attacked. If anything, it sounds like a trap."

FBI response to the top British spy, Dusko Popov (code named "Tricycle") on August 10, 1941, dismissing Popov's report of the complete Japanese plan for the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Pearl Harbor: The Verdict Of History by Gordon Prange, appendix 7 published in 1986. Based on records from the JOINT CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE on the Investigation of the Pearl Harbor Attack, Nov 15, 1945 to May 31, 1946.

Russia's Putin warns West over missile defence-report

Prime Minister Vladimir Putin told CNN television that Russia would deploy nuclear weapons and "strike forces" if it were shut out of a Western missile shield, adding punch to a warning from President Dmitry Medvedev. In an interview with Larry King taped on Tuesday, Putin said missile threats against Europe must be tackled jointly -- a reference to an agreement reached at a Russia-NATO summit this month to cooperate on missile defence.

But if Russia's proposals are rejected and Western missile defence installations create "additional threats" near its borders, "Russia will have to ensure its own security," Putin said. Webmaster's Commentary: Russia has been very nervously watching the US and NATO spread their power and influence throughout border areas that used to be part of the old Soviet Union, and they are not happy with what they are seeing. NATO and Russia should be working together; not working together will ultimately pit NATO and the US against Russia, China, and Iran, and that is potentially a very ugly scenario to contemplate.


Climate change aid will cost British taxpayers £2.9bn over four years

British taxpayers will have to fork out £2.9 billion over the next four years to help the world’s poorest countries cope with global warming, the Government said last night. The Coalition said the 'climate finance' package was essential if the world was to get a legally binding treaty to stop global temperatures rising by more than 2c.

US, S Korea plan more joint naval drills

Amid a growing tension between North Korea and the South, the US and South Korea plan more joint naval drills as early as this month as they wrap up war games in the Yellow Sea. Webmaster's Commentary:

"Can we trick those slant-eyed bastards into bombing Pearl Harbor or something? They can;pt actually reach the US mainland, right? Otherwise I would say lets blow up the Golden Gate Bridge and blame North Korea for that. That will really get the war going! That danged bridge is due for replacement anyway and just thin what that will do for California's employment figures heading into the 2012 elections!


Nasa raises hopes of finding extra-terrestrials with discovery of 'alien' bacteria that survives in arsenic

Nasa scientists are set to announce that bacteria have been discovered that can survive in arsenic, an element previously thought too toxic to support life, it can be revealed. In a press conference scheduled for tomorrow evening, researchers will unveil the discovery of the incredible microbe - which substitutes arsenic for phosphorus to sustain its growth - in a lake in California. The remarkable discovery raises the prospect that life could exist on other planets which do not have phosphorus in the atmosphere, which had previously been thought vital for life to begin.


Wikileaks secret documents are US plot against Iran, claims leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

But Ahmadinejad said yesterday: "The US administration released the documents. They have no legal value and no one would waste their time reviewing them. "We don't think this information was leaked. We think it was organised to be released on a regular basis and they are pursuing political goals." As Ahmadinejad spoke, his officials said motorbike assassins had killed one of Iran's top nuclear scientists and wounded another by sticking magnetic bombs to their cars. Predictably, they blamed America and Israel for the attacks. Webmaster's Commentary:

Predictably, America and Israel are the most likely suspects.


Former Pakistani General: CIA, Mossad behind WikiLeaks Reports

"The US has a hand in this plot, and these reports (posted by the WikiLeaks website) are part of the US psychological warfare," former Chief of the Staff of the Pakistani Army General Mirza Aslam Beg told FNA in Islamabad on Tuesday. He stated that the US could prevent the leak of information if it wanted to do so, and warned that the real plot and conspiracy pursued by these reports will be unraveled in future. Aslam Beg further reiterated that the CIA and Israel's spy agency Mossad have launched efforts to weaken and destabilize Pakistan, and WikiLeaks reports are part of these efforts.


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:

President Barack Obama's deficit commission has recommended slashes to Social Security benefits. Benefits which you already paid for in increased Social Security taxes starting in the 1980s. Where did the money go? Well, starting with the Clinton administration, the Federal Government has been dipping into the Social Security trust fund for a little extra spending cash, always claimed to be a "loan" to a government unable to pay the money back. So now the government's solution is to screw the American people because after all, Israel's new fleets of F-35s and more Wall Street bailouts are much more important to spend tax dollars on, don't you know?

Global concern about the debt crisis rocking the euro zone mounted on Wednesday, with Washington sending a top U.S. Treasury envoy to Europe and G20 officials discussing the turmoil in a conference call. Webmaster's Commentary:

Wikileaks a clever way to sell Propaganda by sandwiching it in with the obvious



WikiLeaks - More Israeli Game Theory Warfare?

Tel Aviv was feeling pressure to end its six-decade occupation of Palestine. With this release, its foot-dragging on the peace process was displaced with talk of an attack on Iran. While the U.S. bore the brunt of the damage, the target was global public opinion. To maintain the plausibility of The Clash of Civilizations, a focus must be maintained on Iran as a credible Evil Doer. With fast-emerging transparency, Israel and pro-Israelis have been identified as the source of the intelligence that took coalition forces to war in Iraq. Thus the need to shift attention off Tel Aviv.

WikiLeaks may yet succeed in that mission. Webmaster's Commentary:

Not if I have anything to say about it!


2 million lose jobless benefits as holidays arrive

Extended unemployment benefits for nearly 2 million Americans begin to run out Wednesday, cutting off a steady stream of income and guaranteeing a dismal holiday season for people already struggling with bills they cannot pay . . .

Pentagon Labels Journalist Julian Assange a 'Cyber Terrorist' Forces Interpol Warrant

Fox News reports INTERPOL has issued a warrant for the arrest of WikiLeaks outlaw Julian Assange concerning charges of sexual misconduct in Sweden, the article goes on to reveal that Senior officials in the U.S. government are also looking to charge him with espionage for leaking mildly classified memos. Webmaster's Commentary:

And yet DHS, which just shut down dozens of domains for copyright infringement, has done nothing to turn off WikiLeaks. How odd! The US Government knew last June that this intelligence analyst had supposedly sent the documents to WikiLeaks, and Julian Assange was not shy about dropping hints about what was to come; hints given tremendous exposure by the corporate media! Indeed at times it almost seems as if ABCNNBBCBS are being paid to be WikiLeaks advertising agency! :)

Propaganda stunt by TSA

To all of you gullible people who believes EVERYTHING found on the internet is deemed TRUE - here's a fantastic story of a TSA pat-down incident at the San Francisco Airport security.

Webmaster's Commentary:

Over the last several days, this story about a man having an orgasm while being groped has been flooding into my mailbox, along with another story about a TSA worker in Colorado caught masturbating while watching the naked scanner screens. Both these stories were obvious attempts to "poison the well" by planting fake stories into the TSA discussion that the media would later use to ridicule ALL opposition to the TSA's behaviors.

In point of fact, WRH did not run these stories, and deleted all instances where these stories were posted by members. So contrary to the gratuitous blog-bash, we on the net are not gullible.

If you want to talk gullible. let's go back to the corporate media;s treatment of Saddam's 'nookular' bombs!


Social Security cuts are part of deficit plan

WASHINGTON – Divisions remain within President Barack Obama's deficit commission on politically explosive budget cuts and slashes in Social Security benefits, even as the panel's co-chairmen go public with a revised plan to tame the runaway national debt. The new plan by co-chairmen Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson, to be unveiled Wednesday, faces an uphill slog. Resistance is certain, not only because of the idea of raising the Social Security retirement age, but also because of proposed cuts to Medicare, curtailment of tax breaks and a doubling of the federal tax on a gallon of gasoline.

Low Dose Arsenic for a Cyanide Society

To prove this point, just watch any news broadcast from an international newscast source. The difference from NBC, CBS or ABC is stark. Now read a newspaper from overseas and compare the editorial selection from the New York Times, Washington Post or USA Today. The lack of professional journalistic standards is obvious in the fish wrapper version from establishment publications. The theme in both broadcast and print media is the same. View the world with blinders, from a superficial microcosm.

WIKI-MURDERS…WIKI-TERROR….WIKI-WAR

An attack on American forces in the Persian Gulf is being planned. Wikileaks is an integral part of the operation. Step one was the current “diplomatic” Wikileak. Step two, the brazen “Mossad style”murders in Iran. Wikileaks couldn’t be more involved if they built the bombs or fired the missiles themselves. When America is attacked, either in the Persian Gulf or at home, Wikileaks will be a part of it. The operation is staged for the Persian Gulf where American warships are “sitting ducks” for a sneak attack like the USS Liberty “incident.” As with the Liberty attack, Israel can use friends in high places in the United States to assure that if they are blamed, they can claim it was an honest mistake, even if an American super-carrier goes down with all hands.


Government agency warns employees that looking at Wikileaks could be a criminal offense

At least one government agency- The Social Security Administration - is warning employees that even browsing Wikileaks could be a criminal offense. Webmaster's Commentary:

This is a blatant attempt to use the "banned in Boston" effect to get the public to read these documents by pretending that the government is afraid of them. But as I pointed out yesterday, DHS shut down dozens of domains for copyright infringement this last week, so if WikiLeaks was such a threat to the National Security, why didn't DHS shut it down as soon as PFC Bradley Manning was arrested for the original leak last June? Under the current law, one does not need a Library of Congress registration to say that a document is copyrighted. So all DHS has to say is the leaked cables are copyright 2010 US Government and grab WikiLeaks domain like they did those dozens of others. DHS had 5 months to do this. But they didn't.

Wikileaks is a propaganda operation, designed to take the same old lies Israel has been trying to feed you and wrap them in the illusion of an adversarial source to make them more believable.


FBI engineers Al-Qaeda terror plot, builds fake bomb, creates real terrorist



At Least One Wikileak is just a Bold Faced Lie – And Its a Significant One

“Uh, one of the most interesting cables was a cable from the U.S. ambassador in Israel to Hillary Clinton which described the uh attack on Gaza which we should call a U.S./Israeli attack, Dec. 2008. It states, uh, correctly that there had been a truce, uh, it does not add that during the truce, which was really not observed by Israel, that during the truce Hamas scrupulously observed it according to the Israeli government. Not a single rocket was fired – that’s an OMISSION (in the Wikileak memo) but then comes a straight lie – it says that in Dec. 2008 Hamas renewed rocket firing and therefore Israel had to attack and defend itself. Webmaster's Commentary:

On November 4th, 2008, while Americans were distracted with the elections, Israel broke a cease fire with HAMAS and attacked Gaza. Ever since then, Israel's hired minions in the press have tried to claim that HAMAS broke the truce based on a claim that someone in Israel saw a mortar shell, although no point of impact was ever located. The same paid minions also tried to obfuscate that Israel had never kept their side of the cease fire agreement, which was to lift the siege of Gaza.

So here we have Julian Assange's WikiLeaks handing out a supposed leaked cable that tells the story of the attack on Gaza the way Israel wants it told!

Propaganda doesn't get any more obvious than that! These are the same old lies, wrapped in a new sugar-coating in the hopes that this time you will swallow them!


New Vatican guidelines on child abuse leave the door open to more cover-ups

New guidelines from the Vatican aimed at creating “a co-ordinated and effective programme” of child protection are to be sent out to bishops around the world. They will not instruct bishops to report sex abuse by clerics to the police, only for them to “collaborate” with the authorities when crimes are reported by others or uncovered by external agencies.


Must try arder! Teacher sends off a school report ...with 16 errors in it

It reads as though it was written by a schoolchild – and a below-average student at that. But this brief note, riddled with 16 grammatical errors and spelling mistakes, was actually the work of a teacher. The report was sent by email to the parents of a pupil in the state school teacher's class, summarising the girl’s performance over the previous year. Webmaster's Commentary:

"Deer Techur. Yore male app duz have a spelling cheker bilt inn! PLez youse it!"


How to Save Taxpayer Money: Bring in The Dogs, Not Naked Body Scanners

This video exposes the blood-boiling waste and corruption that the new airport body-scanning machines represent. So far, at least $160 million in US Taxpayer money has been spent, with potentially billions more to be paid on these systems in the next few years. Trained bomb sniffing dogs, in combination with the metal detectors *already being used* in airports would produce FAR more accurate readings of REAL threats to airline passengers, without the Gestapo-like humiliation, the illegal invasion of privacy and the toxic exposure to radiation from these devices . . .

Hapless Senator Admits Obvious: Political Process a Rigged Game

Tuesday, November 30, 2010 Colorado Democrat Senator Michael Bennet made the mistake of admitting what many of us already know – the political process in the district of criminals is a rigged game. “It’s all rigged. The whole conversation is rigged,” said Bennet over an open C-Span mic during debate on the Food Safety Act. “The fact that we don’t get to a discussion before the break about what we’re going to do in the lame duck. It’s just rigged.” Soon after Bennet made his comment, an aide realized the C-Span microphone was open and switched it off. Senate floor microphones are usually turned off during debate.

2 million lose jobless benefits as holidays loom

Extended unemployment benefits for nearly 2 million Americans begin to run out Wednesday, cutting off a steady stream of income and guaranteeing a dismal holiday season for people already struggling with bills they cannot pay.

Unless Congress changes its mind, benefits that had been extended up to 99 weeks will end this month. Hours before beefed-up benefits were set to expire at midnight on Tuesday, Democrats sought to extend them for another year. But they were blocked by Republican Senator Scott Brown, who said Democrats should have taken time to work out a compromise...

Sweden braces for record freeze

Stockholm is forecast to experience its coldest seasonal temperatures for over 100 years this week as winter weather takes hold of the country, according to the Swedish Meteorological Institute (SMHI). Temperatures across the country are expected to drop to record lows for the first week of December, with the exception of the far north, with averages coming in 7-10 degrees Celsius below normal. Stockholm registered -11 degrees Celsius at the weekend, the coldest November temperature since 1965 and the mercury is set to plunge further on Wednesday and Thursday, dropping as low as -15. "It is far below average temperatures, which usually oscillate around zero at this time of the year," said Alexandra Ohlsson, a meteorologist with SMHI.

Top Ten Lies About Senate Bill 510

The Food Safety Modernization Act looks like it’s headed to become law. It’s being hailed as a “breakthrough” achievement in food safety, and it would hand vast new powers and funding to the FDA so that it can clean up the food supply and protect all Americans from food-borne pathogens. There’s just one problem with all this: It’s all a big lie. Here are the ten biggest lies that have been promoted about S.510 by the U.S. Congress, the food industry giants and the mainstream media:


China blocks UN action against N Korea

China is blocking attempts to issue a UN Security Council condemnation of North Korea over its attack on the rival South or its new nuclear activities, diplomats said. The deadlock has become so great that daily Security Council contacts on North Korea since the North’s deadly artillery assault on November 22 were not held on Tuesday.


FBI creating police state: Paul Craig Roberts




WIKILEAKS saga deteriorates into a soap opera!

The mother of Australian WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said on Wednesday she was distressed by an international police alert for her son's arrest and did not want him "hunted down and jailed." Webmaster's Commentary:

Oh, let's stop saying all those bad things about Julian so we don't make his poor mother cry!!!!

I think I am going to hurl.

Julian Assange's mother is a former actress and together with Assange's father ran a touring theater company. So this is a lady who knows how to pour on the schmaltz! If they are putting her into play, it means the whole WikiLeaks hoax is crumbling.


Words of Thomas Edison

“If our nation can issue a dollar bond, it can issue a dollar bill. The element that makes the bond good, makes the bill good also. The difference between the bond and the bill is that the bond lets the money brokers collect twice the amount of the bond and an additional 20 percent, whereas the currency pays nobody but those who contribute directly to Muscle Shoals in some useful way... “It is absurd to say that our country can issue $30 million in bonds and not $30 million in currency. Both are promises to pay, but one fattens the usurers and the other helps the people. If the currency issued by the Government was no good, then the bonds would be no good either. It is a terrible situation when the Government, to increase the national wealth, must go into debt and submit to ruinous interest charges at the hands of men who control the fictitious value of gold.”
