The story on the surface makes for a script for a new Oliver Stone Hollywood thriller. However, a closer look at the details of what has so far been carefully leaked by the most ultra-establishment of international media such as the New York Times reveals a clear agenda. That agenda coincidentally serves to buttress the agenda of US geopolitics around the world from Iran to North Korea. The Wikileaks is a big and dangerous US intelligence Con Job which will likely be used to police the Internet.
Israeli soldiers stationed at the Za’tara Roadblock, near the northern West Bank city of Nablus, stopped three Palestinian youths and violently assaulted one of them for not understanding them when they spoke to him in Hebrew.
The US troops will leave Iraq by 2011, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has said and ruled out the possibility of extension of their stay any more as Iraq's own forces were capable of confronting remaining threats to the country. Maliki, speaking to the Wall Street Journal, said the new Iraqi government and the country's security forces were capable of confronting any remaining threats to its security, sovereignty and unity. 'The last American soldier will leave Iraq' as agreed, he said, speaking at his office in a leafy section of Baghdad's protected Green Zone. 'This agreement is not subject to extension, not subject to alteration. It is sealed.'
Webmaster's Commentary: Memo to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki: you didn't get the memo?!? The US is never leaving Iraq.
In both of these accounts, media outlets–reflecting their slavish devotion to “objectivity”–have avoided explicitly blaming either Israel or the activists for the 9 people that were killed aboard the Mavi Marmara. But by quoting what Israel says and omitting what the activists and the United Nations report on the raid state, mainstream media has de facto created the impression that Israel bears little blame.
U.S. notes and bonds have handed investors a 2.1 percent loss in December, paring the annual return to 5.7 percent, according to figures compiled by Bloomberg and the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies. That’s the worst monthly performance among 26 sovereign indexes.
On Friday, I was detained by Border Police officers in Nabi Saleh along with another Israeli. We were handcuffed behind our backs, thrown to the ground and beaten. The other Israeli was beaten much worse than I. His head was smashed against the ground and he was kicked repeatedly in the stomach. All of this happened in front a Palestinian Btselem photographer who captured the whole thing on video. After the beating, we were then detained and held in a Jerusalem prison for thirty hours. This story is only unique because it happened to Jews.
Webmaster's Commentary: So much for the theory that Israel exists as a place of safety for the Jews
.Israel’s merciless bombardment killed 1,417 people according to the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights in Gaza. Along with thousands permanently injured, there is the incalculable psychological cost of children growing up without parents, of parents burying their children, and the mental trauma that Israel’s offensive and the ongoing siege has done to almost everyone in Gaza. There are the as yet unknown consequences of subjecting Gaza’s 700,000 children to a toxic water supply for years on end.
Abir Aramin, murdered by Israeli forces four years ago as she was heading home from school…. one of over 100 Palestinian children killed by Israelis in 2007.
Gee, you think? We've already had a couple dozen homeless people freeze to death in Santa Barbara California. WE probably will not have a full body count until after the spring thaw next year!
So many Americans have been jobless for so long that the government is changing how it records long-term unemployment. Citing what it calls "an unprecedented rise" in long-term unemployment, the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), beginning Saturday, will raise from two years to five years the upper limit on how long someone can be listed as having been jobless. The move could help economists better measure the severity of the nation's prolonged economic downturn. Webmaster's Commentary: When numbers are tallied on this basis, look for true unemployment figures most likely to double.
Pallavi Gogoi Associated Press Corporate profits are up. Stock prices are up. So why isn't anyone hiring? Actually, many American companies are – just maybe not in your town. They're hiring overseas, where sales are surging and the pipeline of orders is fat...
Now, the United States, which has waged a 40-year, $1 trillion war on drugs, is looking for answers in tiny Portugal, which is reaping the benefits of what once looked like a dangerous gamble. White House drug czar Gil Kerlikowske visited Portugal in September to learn about its drug reforms, and other countries — including Norway, Denmark, Australia and Peru — have taken interest, too. Drugs in Portugal are still illegal. But here's what Portugal did: It changed the law so that users are sent to counseling and sometimes treatment instead of criminal courts and prison. The switch from drugs as a criminal issue to a public health one was aimed at preventing users from going underground. Webmaster's Commentary: What Portugal did here was groundbreaking, and serves as a model for the world.
This is incredible. Over 400 people, last night, spent over 9 hours stuck on a NYC subway, on an elevated track, in freezing conditions. According to WaPo, twice, passengers called 911 and the Fire Department of New York responded. Passengers begged the emergency responders to take them away, but they were told they had to stay put.
Does the United States still have a stock market? Not really. In a real market, when there are more sellers than buyers, prices decline. And vice versa of course. That is called "price discovery"; or used to be. Since January of 2010 investors have withdrawn a net total of 81 billion dollars from U.S. stocks and funds, this week marking the 33rd consecutive week of outflows, while stock prices have staged a missile launch upward that started in mid-July.
Webmaster's Commentary: As George Carlin famously said, "It's a club, and you ain't in it"
Last year ladies and gentlemen, 40% of all corporate profits came from the financial services industry. Not production, not anything remotely to do with the needs of the American public.The truth is we are all part of it now.Banks, consumers they are moving the money around in circles. We take a buck, we shoot it full of steroids and we call it leverage. I call it steroid banking. Now I have been considered a pretty smart guy when it comes to finance. Maybe I was in prison too long, but sometimes it is the only place to stay sane, looking out from the bars and say, hey is everyone out there nuts? It is clear as a bell to those who pay attention. The mother of all evil is speculation. Leverage debt. The bottom line is, it is borrowing to the hilt.

Hopefully these results will be published later this month. This upcoming year will become critical for gun owners with the Supreme Court's accepting the District of Columbia case against the right for individuals to bear arms. Attorney General, Eric Holder, has already said this is one of his major issues.
This exact phenomena happened to me just the other day. I put a pot of water on the gas stove to boil, upon which time at the door was a knock, so I went to see who it was. While talking ad nauseum at the door to friendly fusion center gestapo, federal agents, TSA thugs, thought police and mattress tag enforcement agents, I suddenly remembered my pot of boiling water. Sure enough, as it came to a rolling boil just as government grant funded science predicted, it produced tons of snow all over the kitchen, creating near white-out conditions. Thank you, science!
Webmaster's Commentary: Just to piss off the New York Times; that's why!
More snow has fallen on Berlin than in any December for at least a century, according to the German Weather Service (DWD). But bitter cold could soon follow the brutal start to winter.
We are ruled by parasites. We are ruled by people who not only don’t work but expect us to work for them. This is totally irresponsible on our part. And we have been carefully trained to be irresponsible because responsibility is the key to power. We can gain total power over our lives but not without accepting full responsibility for everything.
These statistics concerning prisoners in Auschwitz camp purport to be taken directly from Soviet archive material, now available on microfilm from the former Soviet Central Archives. Also, a good deal of corroborative material from the German Archives concerning the German State Railways has been located in the German State Archives (Bundesarchiv) and utilized. The railroad was responsible for the transportation of inmates to and from concentration camps and these figures from the Russian files are accurately reflected in the Reichsbahn documents.
So why the fraud? Why such exaggeration? Why the lies about soap made from humans? Was not WW2 horrific enough that it did not need "embellishments?"
The founders of Israel faced a major problem. The world had just united together against Nazi Germany on the principle that one nation did not have the right to match into another nation and simply steal it for their own uses. Yet that is exactly what Israel intended to do to Palestine.
Now, Israel's founders knew that the war against Germany had really been about banking systems; a continuation of the boycott intended to force Germany back to using the private central banking system imposed on the Wiemar Republic by the Treaty of Versailles.
That the war has really been about returning the Germans to debt-slavery was irrelevant. The public believed it was all about one government not stealing another peoples' land, and that was a fierce political philosophy of the time. Israel needed a way to convince the world that what Hitler could not be allowed to do to Poland and France, Israel must be allowed to do to Palestine. So Israel's founders, as much in control of the media then as now, re-wrote the history of WW2. Slave labor camps became death camps. Insecticide became human poison. Delousing became gassing. Germany's desperate measures to control the deadly typhus epidemic laying waste the camps were portrayed as horrific tortures. All mention of the boycott, the reason Germans were hostile to Jewish bankers, were obliterated. And because the people of the world were naive innocents who trusted their media to tell them the truth, the hoax worked. Slowly the people of the world came to be convinced that Israel had a right to do to Palestine what Hitler had not had a right to do to Poland and France. Israel's founding rests on a public relations hoax. Which is why they defend the orthodox account so fiercely even as science continues to expose the reality that much of the story is a myth. The figure of six million is not a real number but a reference to a Jewish religious prediction, one which was used in WW1 as well as WW2.
Everything Israel has done to Palestine, indeed to Lebanon, Syria, Egypt. is always justified on the claim that Israel has a natural god-given right to treat others the way the Nazis treated them. This is the "They did it first" excuse on a national scale. But if that excuse is a fraud, as seems to be the case, then the whole world, that same world that united to stop the Nazis from stealing other countries, was tricked into standing silently by while Israel simply walked into Palestine and stole it. And that is a grave sin indeed to be an accessory to for all these many decades.
"If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been Anti - Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault ? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?" David Ben Gurion (the first Israeli Prime Minister): Quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paraddoxe Juif (The Jewish Paradox), pp121.
Less than a year ago, Francis Campos-Dunn was still working at a county hospital in the San Francisco Bay Area, helping patients navigate the often-maddening bureaucracy required to draw on their health insurance. These days, she has a new set of problems to navigate: how to manage her own care without any insurance of her own, having slipped into an unfortunate but fast-growing slice of the population--Americans who have lost their jobs and now lack health coverage...
When some people hear the word "conspiracy" they start thinking of a tinfoil hat crowd and invoke images of space aliens, paranoia, or a variety of cults and nonsense. Well there are a lot of wacky conspiracies about many things but that does not mean that conspiracies don't or can't happen. For example, the Iran Contra Affair was a massive government conspiracy hidden from the press and public for years. It happened in my life time and it involved billions of dollars and multiple countries. It has since been admitted to but many of the people involved did not get into trouble. They were given presidential pardons either by Bush Sr. or Bill Clinton. Most of them still have jobs and are working in the government right now! That is a fact.
The federal government has accumulated more new debt--$3.22 trillion ($3,220,103,625,307.29)—during the tenure of the 111th Congress than it did during the first 100 Congresses combined, according to official debt figures published by the U.S. Treasury.
Webmaster's Commentary:
This does NOT include the debt obligations created by the Federal Reserve's emergency funding for banks, now estimated at $16 trillion. And either those banks have to squeeze that money out of you to repay the Fed, or the Fed will demand payment from taxes it eh borrowing banks collapse (which 98 of them are about to do), but one way or the other,m you will be forced to pay for all, until you stand up and say, "No more" like the people of Iceland did.
A 'miracle' slimming pill may have killed thousands of people in France and could become the worst health scandal in the nation's history. The drug Mediator was prescribed to up five million people, originally to overweight diabetes sufferers, from its launch in 1979 until it was banned last year. And for 30 years it was also used as an appetite-suppressing drug by thousands of healthy men and women, with its cost even subsidised by the French healthcare system. But a forthcoming official report is now warning that it may be linked to the deaths of up to 2,000 people and caused heart problems in 3,500 more.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Ladies; I have said this before and I will repeat it here. You are all beautiful just the way the universe made you, You do NOT need to "tinker", and the peddlers of pills, potions, paints, and powders are telling you that you are ugly without their products to squeeze a few pennies from you, and as this article demonstrates, could care less if what they are selling kills you or not. Read the part in this article where the maker of this product lied and threatened to keep their product in the stores, even after it became known it was dangerous.
In the last year, the bilateral process has been the primary means used to advance North American integration, which has drawn little attention. With the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) seemingly stalled after being exposed and discredited, the U.S. channeled trilateral negotiations to parallel bilateral discussions with both Canada and Mexico. Recent reports of a tentative Canada-U.S. security and trade agreement has once again highlighted the whole process of deep continental integration. The U.S. is formulating a strategy with the aim of implementing a North American security perimeter...

"Never Again" they keep saying. "Never Again" will we stand still while there is injustice in the world. "Never Again" will we keep silent while innocent people are being murdered. "Never Again" will we turn a blind eye while homes are being demolished. "Never Again" will we close our ears while civilians are being displaced. "Never Again" will we be silent in the face of tyranny and injustice. "Never Again" will we be silent.
The year 2011 will bring Americans a larger and more intrusive police state, more unemployment and home foreclosures, no economic recovery, more disregard by the US government of US law, international law, the Constitution, and truth, more suspicion and distrust from allies, more hostility from the rest of the world, and new heights of media sycophancy.
Myths and Facts: Study Verifies That There Is No Value In Any Flu Vaccine
A remarkable study published in the Cochrane Library found no evidence of benefit for influenza vaccinations and also noted that the vast majority of trials were inadequate. The authors stated that the only ones showing benefit were industry-funded. They also pointed out that the industry-funded studies were more likely to be published in the most prestigious journals...and one more thing: They found cases of severe harm caused by the vaccines, in spite of inadequate reporting of adverse effects. The study, "Vaccines for preventing influenza in healthy adults", is damning of the entire pharmaceutical industry and its minions, the drug testing industry and the medical system that relies on them.
Specifically, Krugman defends the claim that World War II got us out of the Great Depression, because “this is a situation in which virtue becomes vice and prudence is folly; what we need above all is for someone to spend more, even if the spending isn’t particularly wise.” Even spending on something destructive like war, he argues, is what is needed to solve the problem, especially when the “political consensus for [domestic] spending on a sufficient scale” is not available. In Krugman’s version of Orwell’s Newspeak, destruction creates wealth, and war, though not ideal, is morally acceptable because it produces economic growth.
My Christmas Gift To America December 26 2010 The Bill of Rights contains ten amendments, detailing specific rights that the people of this country felt were so important, that they listed them, thereby placing them OFF LIMITS to governmental tampering. Do you understand that? The government has absolutely no authority to infringe upon any of those rights contained in the Bill of Rights, no matter what the circumstances may be. Therefore, when a TSA agent, who just so happens to be just another pissant like you and I, demands that we allow them to physically grope us, they are violating the Fourth Amendment.
In the movie Minority Report, the government tried to predict future crimes by using a trio of “pre-cogs” who had visions of what was going to happen while lying in some kind of chemical bath. Stock traders don’t have that kind of setup yet, but they are doing everything they can to predict the future — and that involves crunching every bit of data they can get their hands on, up to and including that tweet you just posted.
While being interviewed on a morning show of Greece's largest television station, Mega TV, the Metropolite of Piraeus Seraphim said that international Zionism tries to destroy family values by promoting one-parent families and same-sex marriages, and said there is a Zionist conspiracy to enslave Greece and Christian Orthodoxy. The Metropolite also said that Hitler was just a tool used by Zionists in order to ensure the establishment of Israel.
More collapsing banks could mean more 'too big to fail' banks Daniel Tencer -- Raw Story
