February 28 is the first day of notice for delivery of the March contracts. Normally, parties not wanting delivery would have closed out their contract long before then. At the COMEX close on February 22, there were still 50,848 open March 2011 silver contracts, representing a potential liability to deliver 254.24 million ounces of silver by the end of March. The COMEX registered silver inventories available to cover deliveries totaled only 41.91 million ounces. Even including customer inventories that are stored at the COMEX, which are only eligible to deliver against COMEX contracts if the owners so choose (and most do not), the total is only 102.35 million ounces.
TWO GERMAN lawyers have initiated charges against Pope Benedict XVI at the International Criminal Court, alleging crimes against humanity.
Christian Sailer and Gert-Joachim Hetzel, based at Marktheidenfeld in the Pope’s home state of Bavaria, last week submitted a 16,500-word document to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court at the Hague, Dr Luis Moreno Ocampo.
Their charges concern “three worldwide crimes which until now have not been denounced . . . (as) the traditional reverence toward ‘ecclesiastical authority’ has clouded the sense of right and wrong”.
They claim the Pope “is responsible for the preservation and leadership of a worldwide totalitarian regime of coercion which subjugates its members with terrifying and health-endangering threats”.
As we wrote before Tunisia and Egypt erupted, the outbreaks would go global and the reasons behind the unrest would be more about bread and butter issues than politics. As economies decline, unemployment rises, taxes are raised and services cut – while those at the top get richer and most everyone else gets poorer – revolutions will continue to spread.
After four days of continues earthquake activity it appears that Krísuvík volcano has stepped up it’s activity by a order of magnitude. Since midnight there have been over 400 earthquakes in Krísuvík volcano. The activity is continuing when this is written and does not show any signs of slowing down at this moment. Geologist in Iceland are expecting more earthquakes in this area over the next hours and even earthquakes that are larger then ML3.0 in size.
The ice cover on the Baltic Sea is now at it widest extent since 1987, and it is expected to freeze over even more, according to Finnish meteorologists. Furthermore, warmer temperatures and high winds in coming weeks are likely to create pack ice and further problems for shipping.
According to the meteorologist from Finnish news portal YLE, Toni Hellinen, the extent of the ice cover now being seen on the Baltic Sea is relatively rare, writes LETA.
"It was actually last in 1987 that there was such extensive ice cover, only about once every quarter of a century is there such widespread ice. In terms of statistics we could say that the situation is rare," says Hellinen.
[T]hey showed up as if they had almost a millimeter of oil in the cloud. And these hydrocarbon-laden clouds - when they reach land - would in fact rain oil.
Leifer thinks this oil rain is an unprecedented oil spill phenomenon - a combination of the Gulf's high humidity and the columns of thick smoke from burning oil.
As of January 1, 2010, colloidal silver has officially been banned (by the EU food authorities) throughout the European Union. It can no longer be legally sold in any health food store or by any internet vendor in the EU as a nutritional supplement. There is a concerted worldwide effort to either ban colloidal silver completely, or to so heavily regulate it as a “toxin” or “pesticide” that you would need a prescription or permit to use it. Many believe this is all part of the looming one-world plot to “harmonize” all nutritional supplement laws on a global basis, and dramatically restrict your rights to use natural substances like colloidal silver as you see fit.
David Cameron threatened Colonel Gaddafi with military action last night, promising a no-fly zone and arms shipments to his enemies.
The Prime Minister even suggested he could send British troops into Libya as a peacekeeping force to stop Gaddafi’s henchmen massacring democracy campaigners.
Independent journalist Brandon Jourdan recently returned from Haiti after being on assignment documenting the rebuilding of schools in the earthquake-devastated country. However, when he returned to the United States, he was immediately detained after deboarding the plane by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. He was questioned about his travels and had all of his documents, computer, phone and camera flash drives searched and copied. This is the seventh time Jourdan says he has been subjected to lengthy searches in five years, and has been told by officials that he is “on a list.” Jourdan joins us in our studio. Catherine Crump, a staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, says that Jourdan is not the only one facing such treatment by the Obama administration.
Taxing the air we exhale, rationing human necessities, a global one-child policy, geoengineering (high-altitude chemical spraying), and now nuclear war have all been proposed to combat global warming. Have climate theorists lost their marbles, or just their humanity?

The Anglo-American "globocrat" establishment is no longer hiding its support for the now admittedly armed rebellion spreading across Libya. The rebellion has been met by a defiant Qaddafi who may have more support than the corporate owned media has revealed and the rebels may need "extra" assistance from their Western sponsors, lest they end up in a "Bay of Pigs-like" scenario...
Iran have protested against the already controversial logo of the 2012 Olympic Games, saying the emblem is racist and spells the word "Zion," the ILNA news agency reported on Monday.

According to CNBC’s Kate Kelly, JPMorgan has just released its 10-K and it reveals some shocking information.

Artillery ranges and tank maneuvers on fragile grasslands. Depopulated farm towns, suitable for urban warfare exercises for thousands of troops.

Jonathan Cook analyses the role of mainstream media in defending Western imperial elites and peddling their narrative, and assesses the impact of new media in breaking the elites' stranglehold on information.
"This is an opportunity and one that we must nurture. We must demand of the corporate media more honesty; we must shame them by being better-informed than the hacks who recycle official press releases and clamour for access; and we must desert them, as is already happening, for better sources of information.
"We have a window. And we must force it open before the elites of empire try to slam it shut."
A full-scale public inquiry is needed in light of the widespread and violent trampling of civil rights by police at last summer's G20 summit in Toronto, a report concludes.
The call for an inquiry is among recommendations in the report — by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and National Union of Public and General Employees — which is aimed at holding governments accountable and avoiding a recurrence.
"The many violations of civil liberties that occurred during the summit, such as illegal detentions and searches and excessive uses of force, cannot have simply been the actions of a few bad apples," the report states. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Residents of Libya’s capital say prices for basic foodstuffs are skyrocketing and long lines form at bakeries for rationed bread as Moammar Gadhafi loyals clamp down in Tripoli.
One resident tells The Associated Press that the price of rice, a main staple, has gone up 500 percent amid the crisis, reaching the equivalent of $40 for a five kilogram (10 pound) bag. Bakeries are limited to selling five loafs of bread per family.

This is the song the caller into the radio show mentioned. It commemorates an incident where union members and their families were celebrating Christmas eve on the second floor of the "Italian Hall" in Calamut, Michigan, December 24th 1913 (the same year that saw the creation of the Federal Reserve and the 16th Amendment allowing income tax). Someone shouted "Fire" from down below and the people rushed down the stairs and found the doors jammed shut. Although there was no actual fire, 73 people, 59 of them children, died of suffocation in the stairwell. Media reports at the time claimed that the doors to the stairs opened inward and it was the crush of the people holding them shut that precipitated the disaster. But subsequent examination of the building plans and contemporary photographs proved that the all the doors in that building opened outward. One witness stated that the man who yelled, "Fire" wore a button from the Citizens Alliance, an anti-union group funded by the owners of the Calumet and Hecla Mining Company to oppose organized labor. However nobody was ever charged with the false call of "Fire" or for blocking the doors to the building. Walker Losing Control and Getting Desperate- Bolting Windows Shut to Starve Out Protesters
On April 20, 1914, Colorado National Guardsmen attacked a tent colony of 1,200 striking miners at Ludlow, Colorado, looting and burning the colony. Twenty-five people were killed. This was the worst of many such skirmishes between the government and the miners in Coal Field War of 1914, which lasted for seven months.
Shocking as it may seem, U.S. government doctors once thought it was fine to experiment on disabled people and prison inmates. Such experiments included a Yale University giving hepatitis to mental patients in Connecticut, squirting a pandemic flu virus up the noses of prisoners in Maryland, and injecting cancer cells into chronically ill people at a New York hospital.
Much of this horrific history is 40 to 80 years old, but it is the backdrop for a meeting in Washington this week by a presidential bioethics commission. The meeting was triggered by the government's apology last fall for federal doctors infecting prisoners and mental patients in Guatemala with syphilis 65 years ago.
From now on, whenever you hear the term "the global economy" you should immediately equate it with the destruction of the U.S. middle class. Over the past several decades, the American economy has been slowly but surely merged into the emerging one world economic system. Unfortunately for the middle class, much of the rest of the world does not have the same minimum wage laws and worker protections that we do. Therefore, the massive global corporations that now dominate our economy are able to pay workers in other countries slave labor wages and import the products that they make into the United States to compete with products made by "expensive" American workers. This has resulted in a mass exodus of manufacturing facilities and jobs from the United States.

(NaturalNews) Most major newspapers and media outlets in the world are owned by a handful of multinational corporate giants, who together control the content of what is distributed to the masses. But a recent report in The Seattle Times questions the influence the world's most powerful foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), has on the media as well.
In an interview with In These Times, Carl Gibson, the founder of US Uncut, which is organizing some of today’s UK-inspired massive demonstrations against tax dodgers, explains that while ordinary Americans are being asked to sacrifice, major corporations continue to use the rigged tax code to avoid paying any federal taxes at all. As he says, if you have “one dollar” in your wallet, you’re paying more than the “combined income tax liability of GE, ExxonMobil, Citibank, and the Bank of America“:
[Gibson] explains, “I have one dollar in my wallet. That’s more than the combined income tax liability of GE, ExxonMobil, Citibank, and the Bank of America. That means somebody is gaming the system.”
Europeans left stranded at airports last year as an Icelandic volcano spewed ash across the continent may soon benefit from the power that seethes beneath the remote north Atlantic island.
Iceland is doing a feasibility study into building a 1,170- kilometer (727-mile) power cable to Scotland to send some of its untapped potential 18 terawatt-hours of geothermal and hydropower -- that’s enough for 5 million European homes. The project has the full backing of the government, Industry Minister Katrin Juliusdottir said in an interview.
Scarcely a day goes by without more evidence to show why the Government's obsession with wind turbines, now at the centre of our national energy policy, is one of the greatest political blunders of our time. Under a target agreed with the EU, Britain is committed within ten years — at astronomic expense — to generating nearly a third of its electricity from renewable sources, mainly through building thousands more wind turbines.
But the penny is finally dropping for almost everyone — except our politicians — that to rely on windmills to keep our lights on is a colossal and very dangerous act of self-deception.
Webmaster's Commentary:
With all due respect, the wind power scandal, while justifying the immediate expulsion from office of numerous corrupted political hacks who sold it to a gullible public, pales to insignificance compared to the $14 trillion and counting Wall Street Mortgage-Backed Securities fraud.
The Battle of Madison, in addition to being about Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s desire to cripple his state’s public sector unions, is also at least ostensibly about budgetary matters. Walker wants to get those nasty teachers and other government workers to foot more of the bill for their retirements, right? Well … wrong actually. And one of the worst kinds of wrong, a factual error so broadly accepted by the journalists covering the story that it distorts everyone’s understanding of it.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Actually, we are all taxed way too high, rich and poor alike, because the money gets spent not on America but on Israel and the endless wars it has commanded the US to fight for it. Plus, bailing out Wall Street's fraudulent mortgage-backed security scam to the tune of $12.3 trillion (PBS' estimate; mine is higher) certainly did not help, no more than a ponzi-scheme private central bank intentionally designed to enslave the entire nation to hopelessly unpayable debt.
Thom Hartmann asks - Which one of these people can the American people no longer afford to support with their tax dollars? The Wall Street executives and major Republican donors who gambled with OUR money and swindled our nation into a depression? Or the teachers in Wisconsin - minor but not irrelevant Democratic donors - who educate thousands of our children and prep them for jobs in the future?
“The biggest surprise to me personally and biggest disappointment was that nobody in the Obama administration would speak with me even off the record — including people that I’ve known for many, many years,” Ferguson said backstage.
He believes Americans, who lost homes and jobs in the millions because of shady mortgage lending and bank collapses, are disappointed that “nothing has been done.”
“Unfortunately, I think that the reason is predominantly that the financial industry has become so politically powerful that it is able to inhibit the normal process of justice and law enforcement,” said Ferguson.

To a certain extent, DNA collection already has become part of the fabric of day-to-day life; police in America have had the authority to conduct warrantless searches since 2009 by taking blood and saliva during arrests, even from those not convicted of a crime. This has quickly morphed into DNA being taken through mandatory blood tests at DUI checkpoints in Florida.
It has been argued that DNA extraction is no different than taking fingerprints. This argument is patently absurd, due to the simple fact that fingerprints have no bearing on one's genetic information . . . or manipulation. It is the genetic information of individuals that has been the holy grail of all tyrannies as the endgame for their control grid.

As I understand it, the standard method for taking a DNA sample is a swab of the mouth, so, if one just finished a hot and heavy session of French kissing, how does the government know the DNA they collected is even yours?

In a meeting with Iran's Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari on Sunday, Ahmad Mousavi says relations between Tehran and Damascus “have foiled plots hatched by arrogant powers.”
“If Egypt and other Muslim countries stand beside Iran and Syria, the US will be finished,” Mehr News Agency quoted Mousavi as saying.
The Israeli occupation of the West Bank and blockade of Gaza goes on, seemingly without end. Israeli troops continue to kill innocent Palestinians. The United States arms Israel to the tune of $3 billion a year or more. And most progressives talk as if there’s not a thing anyone can do about it.
This sorry state of affairs persists because so many wrong ideas about the conflict are widely held here. Here are eight of the worst distortions in our discourse.
There has been much talk lately, especially since the events in Egypt, of a group known as the Muslim Brotherhood. Not much good was said about them, lumping them in with all of the fictious enemies of Israel and the United States….

Pepper, a New York-based lawyer who also is a British barrister, is the latest advocate of a second gunman theory. Believers claim 13 shots were fired while Sirhan's gun held only eight bullets and that the fatal shot appeared to come from behind Kennedy while Sirhan faced him. Pepper also suggests Sirhan was "hypno-programmed," turning him into a virtual "Manchurian Candidate," acting robot-like at the behest of evil forces who then wiped his memory clean. It's the stuff of science fiction and Hollywood movies, but some believe it is the key.

But then Verizon doesn’t just throw cash to ultra-right politicians. It throws their corporate weight here and there to oppose freedoms you care about. For instance, Verizon fought hard against net neutrality and went so far as to sue the Federal Communications Commission in January to get rid of the rules to protect an open Internet. Why, unless they’re inherently repressive? Also, Verizon once rejected NARAL Pro-Choice America’s request to send text messages on the Verizon network, saying it had a right to block messages it deemed were “controversial or unsavory.” When did Verizon Wireless start playing Big Brother?
A new level of invasive screening is scheduled for airports this summer: a portable DNA scanner to conduct on-site, real-time genetic testing.
DNA collection is actually nothing new, as the Pentagon has admitted that it currently has a DNA database with 80,000 suspected foreign terrorists on it, and growing daily. However, this collection apparatus has been secretly in place for Americans as well. Lawsuits are pending from families who uncovered a secret program to collect DNA from babies and store it in a military database. However, that was a secret that had to be uncovered. The fact that DNA screening is being rolled out openly marks a new level of blatant tyranny in America.
"NextGov reports the Homeland Security Department has plans this summer to begin testing a DNA analyzer that’s small enough to be easily portable and fast enough to return results in less than an hour."
This DNA data analyzer is designed by NetBio (Network Biosystems), out of Boston, and one has to marvel at the interesting timing of the founding of this company. As stated on its website, located at:
www.netbio.com
Founded based on pioneering microfluidic research performed at MIT's Whitehead Institute, NetBio was incorporated in 2000 in Greater Boston and has received significant support from both industry and government agencies (including the National Institute of Justice and National Institutes of Health). NetBio has developed a series of enabling microfluidic and molecular biology technologies and products for sample preparation and DNA purification, rapid thermal cycling, highly multiplexed amplification, focused DNA sequencing, optical detection of DNA sequences, and nucleic acid separation and detection. NetBio's products have been designed for use by non-technical operators outside the laboratory, a feature that is critical to address the enormous unmet needs of the rapidly emerging Rapid DNA Analysis (RDA) markets."
One also has to wonder on who within the government (or just resigned and is now a lobbyist for these units) is perfectly positioned to cash in on the sale of these units.
Again, DHS, in deploying these DNA scanners, will be in violation of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which guarantees American citizens against unreasonable search and seizure.
Apparently, DHS's position is, if you don't want to have your DNA collected, you are absolutely free...to not travel!
Ritholtz says that everyone assumed any indictment would be related to a matter reported on by the New York Times last week: that Ailes allegedly told News Corp. executive Judith Regan to lie to federal investigators who were vetting Bernie Kerik, the New York police commissioner who was nominated to be the first Secretary of Homeland Security. Regan had had an affair with Kerik at a lovenest near Ground Zero; Ailes allegedly wanted to protect the political ambitions of Kerik's boss, Rudy Giuliani. The allegations emerged in a civil lawsuit filed by Regan -- who claimed that she had a phone recording of Ailes talking about the matter -- against News Corp.
As Republicans and Democrats in Congress haggle over the budget, most voters would rather have a partial shutdown of the federal government than keep its spending at current levels.
"Gadaffi and those around him must be held accountable for these acts, which violate international legal obligations and common decency," Clinton said in an address to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, saying nothing was off the table as the international community considers its next steps and as long as the Gaddafi government threatens and kills its civilians. "It is time for Gaddafi to go, now, without further violence or delay," she said.
Meanwhile, the US military was repositioning naval and air forces around Libya, a Pentagon official said on Monday, as the international demands intensify for an end to Gaddafi's decades-long rule.

Just got an alert from the Capitol City Leadership Committee (which is what the protesters who held the building last night have taken to calling themselves). The Capitol Police were supposed to open the building to the public at 8am. Two hours later they are still not letting anyone into the building. It’s particularly cold out in Madison today, with big crowds outside trying to enter. The media relations person for the CCLC, Thomas Bird, told me that one lady, who has been coming to the Capitol from the beginning, has colon cancer, and it took a long time for them to finally persuade the police to get her in.
Crowds outside the Capitol are chanting “Let them in!” as the police block the entrances.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Walker has just crossed a line. That building does not belong to him; it belongs to the people and as long as they are not violent he has no right not to let them into their building. The First Amendment recognizes a right to peacefully assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances. In locking the doors of the peoples' capitol building, Walker has usurped the peoples' rights.
With dictator Muammar Gaddafi’s control over the country ebbing, the United States and its European allies are stepping up their intervention into the Libyan crisis. Their aim is to ensure that any new regime will be equally subservient to their economic and geostrategic interests.
Webmaster's Commentary:
This is exactly what is going on here. The US and UK are going to invade to seize control of Libya and install a new puppet ruler. The Libyan people, of course, are demanding the US and UK star out of their country, because they have the situation under control and Qaddafi will be toast (or at least slowly roasting) by week's end. A successful Libyan revolt without US/UK intervention sends two messages. First, that the global, revolt against a global fascist dictatorship is proceeding rapidly, and second, that the world operates quite well without the constant meddling of former empires still dreaming dreams of faded imperial glory.
A Libyan military jet bombed a base in eastern Libya on Monday, as embattled leader Moammar Gadhafi fought to hold onto his regime.

Contrary to the image of a dangerous gun nut put out in the media in an effort to justify the burning of the church, official BATF records prove that David Koresch was rather harmless, so much so that the BATF agents invited him to go shooting with them just 9 days before they raided the church. Koresch supplied the ammunition. The BATF agents allowed Koresch to try out their weapons.
When David Koresch took over the Mount Carmel church, he discovered the previous leader had funded the center with a meth lab on the property. Koresch called the sheriffs to come remove the meth lab, and settled on gun repair as a means for the community to earn their living. While it may seem strange for a religious group to engage in gun repair and dealing as a means to finance themselves, historically it is not that unusual. Ancient Romans used temple prostitution to raise money; a practice revived in the 1980s by the Children of God in Los Angeles. Monasteries have engaged in the manufacture and sale of alcohol to earn money, and of course we are all familiar with that tolerated form of gambling called "Bingo" in churches all across the land.
The point is what Koresch and his followers were doing was legal. They bought broken firearms, repaired them, then resold them. What the FBI called an armory was a warehouse, and the reason the guns were left stacked there while the ashes piled up around them was that those were the broken firearms waiting to be repaired. The firearms that actually worked were not even in Mount Carmel the day of the raid, but had been out at a local gun show being sold. This is why the FBI refused examination of the remains of the weapons found at the church. Not only would the examination have shown they were not fully automatic, as claimed by the BATF and FBI, but said examination wold have shown they were missing parts and could not fire at all.
Among the dead were four former Clinton bodyguards, rumored to have had inside secrets on a wide variety of Clinton affairs, including the death of Penthouse model Judy Gibbs, who was cooperating with investigations into drug running at Mena, Arkansas when she burned to death in her home.

In 2010, grave violations continued to be committed against children in the occupied Palestinian territory. Eleven Palestinian children were killed and 360 injured in Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. No Israeli children were killed but two were injured. Palestinian children continued to be detained and subjected to ill-treatment, and in some cases torture, during arrest and interrogations by Israeli security forces. In East Jerusalem, search and arrest operations involving children as young as seven years old intensified in the Silwan neighbourhood, and child casualties increased at the end of the year as a result of the confrontations between private armed guards, hired by the Israeli Ministry of Housing to protect Israeli settlers, and local residents (unarmed).
Webmaster's Commentary: In every society, the children are the future of that society, and that is no less true of Palestinian children.
These kids should be going to school, and learn, without fear, upset, or food insecurity, in order to create a viable future for a Palestinian state.
Instead, they are sometimes tortured or abused by Israeli military and police, and even shot at and killed.
Israeli politicians like to gloat that "Israel is the only true democracy in the Middle East. But governments and civilizations are ultimately judged by how they treat the most fragile of their subjects.
Most truly civilized and enlightened democracies do not arrest, torture or abuse children in any way, and certainly do not kill them.
Therefore, Israel cannot be characterized as either civilized, enlightened, or as a democracy.
What Israel has become, unfortunately, is a wretchedly apartheid, self-proclaimed theocracy, with nukes.
The sanctions call on the ICC to investigate top Libyan officials for their roles in crimes against humanity at the Hague, but the US insisted that an additional clause be inserted that would forbid the ICC from prosecution of people from non-ICC member nations.
The move appears to have centered on long-standing US hostility to the ICC, and the Bush Administration’s concerns that it could be used to prosecute US soldiers and officials over war crimes.
Webmaster's Commentary: Thereby guaranteeing they will be chopped into bloody bits on the spot when caught!
The US and UK are rattling the sabers; desperate to find a reason to invade Libya and install a new puppet ruler. But the opposition leaders have made it very clear they do not want nor will they accept foreign interference. This is a popular uprising against a tyrant, and they do not intend to allow the US or UK (or Israel) to jump in and simply replace one puppet with another. They have been watching that game for 100 years and know all the tricks.
Qaddafi will probably not last the week. If his sons are stating they will not leave it means they are already considering it. Personally, I hope the Libyan people get their hands on Qaddafi, and send a message to tyrants everywhere that you do NOT point guns at your own people.
There is no getting around it. The U.S. dollar is dying. U.S. government debt continues to grow at a very frightening pace and the Federal Reserve is now buying up most of the new debt that is being issued. At this point there is simply not enough money in the rest of the world to continue to feed the U.S. government's endless thirst for more debt so the Federal Reserve has had to directly intervene in order to keep the Ponzi scheme going. Other nations are rapidly losing faith in the U.S. dollar as they realize that there is simply no way that the U.S. government will be able to service this soaring debt for much longer. Even now we are watching the U.S. dollar rapidly fall against a vast array of hard assets.
Unfortunately, the September 11 attacks have led some to embrace the fallacy that weakening the Constitution will strengthen America."
As a result, civil liberties fast eroded. In 2007, another ACLU report warned about America being six minutes to midnight "as a surveillance society draws near...." Powerful new technologies potentially make total monitoring possible under a president, a compliant Congress and courts that believe national security takes precedence over constitutional freedoms.
As a result, "we confront the possibility of a dark future where our every move," transaction, and communication is "recorded, compiled, and stored away" for ready access for whatever authorities may want.
Webmaster's Commentary: George Orwell was not only a brilliant writer: he was a prophet.
I do not see the Tea Party trying to start a fight with the Feds. It is the Feds out trying to throw the first punch using coercive force to subdue the population into submission. The Federal government has shown economically and socially are the ones who declared war on our freedoms. Then there will be a collision between two factions. It will be the people wanting to be left alone and the power freaks seeking to lord over them. Not the Tea Party.
With dictator Muammar Gaddafi’s control over the country ebbing, the United States and its European allies are stepping up their intervention into the Libyan crisis. Their aim is to ensure that any new regime will be equally subservient to their economic and geostrategic interests.
Behind the rhetoric about democracy and humanitarian concerns, Washington and the European powers are seeking to exploit the brutality of Gaddafi to condition public opinion to accept a colonial-style intervention and the reassertion of imperialist control over the country’s oil fields.
Webmaster's Commentary: The race is on, in terms of a potential military intervention, because the US, the EU, and NATO, have no "go-to" person in the political or military structure on the ground in Libya who can swing things their way at the moment.
Pimco and the New York Federal Reserve bank among many other hedge funds and investors of MBS (mortgage backed securities) were demanding their investments back from the fraudulent securities.
Bank of America was fighting it. Well it seems as of the end of 2010 they had paid 46 BILLION back to PIMCO - N.Y. Fed and others and they still have 10.7 BILLION of Claims against their MBS filed! That is HUGE! Also by those big entities demanding all that money, they pretty much know the game is up and the fraud is coming out in all ways. They are wanting out before the complete SHTF when it is disclosed ALL the MBS sold by MERS banks are fraud! One mortgage was put into multiple MBS bonds.
Webmaster's Commentary:
This is another confirmation of what we have been saying for months now. The whole mortgage-backed securities market is a total fraud, the fraud has been known for years now, and the banks and pension funds and investment houses are demanding the Wall Street firms who peddled these fraudulent offerings buy back the bad paper and make good on the credit default swaps.
The US Government, in order to save the banks, used tax breaks to encourage corporations to send high paying jobs to other countries, willfully destroying Americans' ability to pay their mortgages, thereby allowing the banks to confiscate home to put on their balance sheets, to recapitalize the banks and keep them solvent.
It is just that simple. The government took your jobs so the banks could take your homes, to pay for the losses when the fraud collapsed.
This is wealth confiscation to save the banks, exactly like Roosevelt did with gold in 1933, but done in a covert way to trick Americans into thinking it was their own fault they were losing their homes, instead of a federally-mandated plundering of the American dream to save Wall Street MBS crooks from having to go to jail.
Sooner or later you are going to have to face up to the truth. The Federal Government is your enemy.
As funny as it may sound, Harry's Place -- the infamous Israeli propaganda website and Neocon outlet that rushed to advocate Blair’s criminal wars -- is now desperately insisting on mounting pressure on venues to stop me from spreading the necessary message about Israel and its lobbies.
Israeli military and political officials should not be forced to assume personal responsibility for the 2002 Gaza assassination of a Hamas strongman which resulted in the death of 13 innocent Palestinians, a panel probing the incident said in its report on Sunday.
Webmaster's Commentary: This is completely consistent with Israeli military and political leadership never taking responsibility for anything they do to non-combatant Palestinians, particularly with innocent children.
Dig this: "U.S. officials have since admitted that the CIA wrongfully imprisoned El-Masri. Though the lawyer who signed off on the decision received a reprimand, the CIA never punished the analyst who pressed for El-Masri's wrongful rendition, despite recommendations from the CIA's inspector general.
"A former CIA official told the Washington Post in 2005 that the analysts 'didn't really know. She just had a hunch' when she made the decision regarding El-Masri."
Where is that agent now? "She now runs the CIA's Global Jihad unit, which leads the U.S. government's counterterrorism efforts against al-Qaida." Surely we want to be certain, not based on a hunch, that we get real-life al-Qaida murderers before they get us.
Lebanon based human rights lawyer Franklin Lamb has been arrested on Wednesday evening by General Security in Lebanon where he was scheduled to board a flight for a trip to South Africa. Lamb had been informed prior to his visit that the American government was trying to control his movements and had threatened to arrest him if he left Lebanon.
At least 115 people have been killed, including at least 49 innocent civilians, in the latest offensive by the self-proclaimed Somali government, which years after moving to the nation is still struggling to control more than a tiny portion of the capital city.
Webmaster's Commentary: As reported on 24 February, 2011 at:
"The only time Mogadishu, Somalia’s war-torn capital, was remotely quiet in recent times was for six months in 2006, when an Islamist coalition controlled the city by itself. Today, the most stable part of the country is the breakaway region of Somaliland, which recently held elections and carried out one of the Horn of Africa’s rare peaceful transfers of power, despite little help and a lack of official recognition from the outside world."
The US continues this nasty war of attrition by proxy in Somalia, and charges that the opposition is a unit of Al Quaeda. However, as reported on 23 July, 2010 at: http://www.janes.com/articles/Janes-Sentinel-Security-Assessment-North-Africa/Natural-resources-Somalia.html
"While Somalia has never been an oil producer, geologically there is a strong possibility that it could possess significant oil reserves."
The Wisconsin protests are about much more than budgets and unions. As I observed in "What Conservatives Really Want," the conservative story about budget deficits is a ruse to turn the country conservative in every area. Karl Rove and Shep Smith have made it clear on Fox: If the Wisconsin plan to kill the public employees' unions succeeds, then there will be little union money in the future to support democratic candidates. Conservatives will be effectively unopposed in raising campaign funding in most elections, including the presidential elections. This will mean a thoroughly conservative America in every issue area.
Webmaster's Commentary:
This was discussed at Saturday's rally here in Honolulu, and my observation at the time was that while the GOP, in trashing unions, will reduce public support for Democrats, such obvious willingness to hurt ordinary Americans for the sake of the 2012 elections could well blow back on the GOP, and instead of winning the White House, they might lose Congress again. I consider myself a paleo-con, yet this insistence that teachers should make no more than janitors smacks of communism, which is why I do not support it. Paleo-cons are not asking that teachers be lowered to the level of workers but that the workers be raised up to the level of teachers, simply because the nation and economy cannot survive if the one is captured entirely by Wall Street and DC.
Iraq’s prime minister warned his cabinet on Sunday to shape up within 100 days or face ‘changes’ as a third provincial governor stepped down following massive nationwide demonstrations.
Nuri al-Maliki’s remarks came as protest organisers called for a fresh set of rallies on Friday, March 4, to mark a year since landmark parliamentary elections that led to nine months of political impasse, with several key ministerial posts still unfilled.
Demonstrations across Iraq in recent weeks, the biggest of which were held last Friday, have railed against poor public services, rampant corruption and high unemployment.
Webmaster's Commentary: The result of the revolts in Tunisia, Egypt, and (soon) Libya apparently have not gone unnoticed by Al-Maliki.
He understands that if his government continues to fail the Iraqi people, the next figurative head on the plate may well be his own.
In July 2004, Savage displayed his frustration with United States regulators in an e-mail to Hill and Shearon cited in the indictment: "This Iraq situation has companies banging on our door for M16s because we are the only supplier outside the U.S. since the State Department has a lump of granite up their asses with exporting machine guns to anywhere. … I'm not prepared to have bureaucrats in another country tell me how to run my business in the UK, which is incidentally their only reliable ally on the planet."
David Cameron was last night accused of using his Middle East tour to promote Arab democracy as a cover for arms sales. The Prime Minister was branded a ‘disgrace’ after it emerged that he has taken eight defence firms with him on a four-day visit to the region.
The sanctions call on the ICC to investigate top Libyan officials for their roles in crimes against humanity at the Hague, but the US insisted that an additional clause be inserted that would forbid the ICC from prosecution of people from non-ICC member nations.
The move appears to have centered on long-standing US hostility to the ICC, and the Bush Administration’s concerns that it could be used to prosecute US soldiers and officials over war crimes.
Having played a role in the sanctions against the Gadhafi regime yesterday (actually the role of spoiler, as the US ensured the immunity of most of the brutal mercenaries from prosecution), the Obama Administration is mulling a series of additional options on how to meddle in the Libyan Revolution.
Webmaster's Commentary: Any kind of military intervention by the US, EU, or NATO, would bluntly telegraph a colonial-style disdain for the Libyan opposition's capability to handle this on their own, which they seem to be doing quite well at the moment.
The muscled Hawaiian beach boy is photographed wearing a traditional loin cloth and shown standing in the shallows holding his rudimentary board.
Missionaries who went to the island after Captain Cook's death there in 1789 virtually stamped out all surfing in Hawaii because they thought it ungodly.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Yeah, those missionaries decided God wanted them to get those well-muscled boys off the beaches and back into the priests' bedrooms where they belonged!
Though it seems clear that the international community in general and the United States in particular are bound and determined to do “something” about the massive uprising in Libya, the protesters’ leadership is openly spurning those calls and insists it doesn’t need their sort of help.
Hafiz Ghoga, a spokesman for the protesters’ new National Libyan Council, insisted that calls for foreign intervention were entirely unwelcome, adding that the protesters have taken most of the nation and “the rest of Libya will be liberated by the people.”
Webmaster's Commentary: GOOD ON THE LIBYAN OPPOSITION!!
Four weeks into the Raymond Davis affair, an ongoing and very public spat between the ISI and the CIA threatens to engulf the fraught relationship between Washington and Islamabad.
Partners in the war on militancy, the two spy agencies have never had an easy relationship. But ties hit a new low after the revelation that Davis was part of a clandestine CIA network operating in Pakistani cities.
“We feel betrayed by the CIA operations behind our back,” said an ISI official, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
ISI officials claim more than 50 CIA agents are still active in the country and are involved in intensive intelligence gathering without the knowledge of the ISI. “The Davis affair is just a tip of the iceberg,” commented one senor official.
Webmaster's Commentary: The ham-handed hubris with which the CIA has handled this issue is not going down well in Pakistan at all. And the reality is, if Zardari's government releases Davis to the US, the outcome will be massive protests and riots, to the point where Zardari's government may well fall, possibly replaced through a military coup.
The Palestinian Authority (PA) on Sunday rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's conditions to discuss the borders of future Palestinian state. Netanyahu told the British daily the Telegraph that there is no basis to discuss the borders of Palestinian state without the Palestinian leadership recognizing Israel as a Jewish state.
Webmaster's Commentary: Israel is asking Palestine to recognize the Jewish state without knowing where the Jewish state starts or stops. And If Israel wants recognition as a Jewish state, then it needs to start by recognizing the Palestinian state. That is the problem. Israel refuses to grant to others that which it demands for itself.
[T]he US insisted that the UN resolution was worded so that no one from an outside country that is not a member of the ICC could be prosecuted for their actions in Libya. This means that mercenaries from countries such as Algeria, Ethiopia and Tunisia – which have all been named by rebel Libyan diplomats to the UN as being among the countries involved – would escape prosecution even if they were captured, because their nations are not members of the court.
The move was seen as an attempt to prevent a precedent that could see Americans prosecuted by the ICC for alleged crimes in other conflicts. While the US was once among the signatories to the court, George W. Bush withdrew from it in 2002 and declared that it did not have power over Washington.

The Irish people looked back in anger this weekend and then they coldly voted to liquidate the party that plunged their country into liquidation.
After decades of Fianna Fáil dominance, they turned and taught Fianna Fáil a devastating lesson: You call yourselves a national movement? Now, let us show you the real meaning of a national movement . . .
And with that, they emerged from the long grass and gutted the Soldiers of Destiny. Extraordinary.
Unthinkable, once. The general election of 2011 will be remembered as the one which shattered another of the three great pillars of old Ireland. It was always a proud boast of the faithful multitude that they belonged to the Untouchable Trinity of the Catholic Church, Fianna Fáil and the Gaelic Athletic Association.
Pictures have emerged providing the shocking proof that U.S. government doctors once experimented on disabled American citizens and prison inmates.
Such experiments included giving hepatitis to mental patients in Connecticut, squirting a pandemic flu virus up the noses of prisoners in Maryland, and injecting cancer cells into chronically ill people at a New York hospital.
Much of this horrific history is 40 to 80 years old, but it is the backdrop for a meeting in Washington this week by a presidential bioethics commission.
Webmaster's Commentary: Josef Mengele would have been proud of these "researchers".
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US Congress faces a looming deadline this week to reach agreement on spending to avoid a federal government shutdown that could have chilling consequences for the US economy.
The current stopgap spending measure -- known as a "continuing resolution" or "CR" -- is valid through midnight Friday, and polarized lawmakers in the Senate and House of Representatives must agree on a compromise to replace it in order to keep funding the federal government.
Handcuffed and marched through Washington's Dulles International Airport in his Muslim clothing, the man with the long, dark beard could only imagine what people were thinking.
That scene unfolded in March 2003, a year and a half after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. One of the four planes hijacked in 2001 took off from Dulles. "I could only assume that they thought I was a terrorist," Abdullah al-Kidd recalled in an interview with The Associated Press.
Al-Kidd called his airport arrest "one of the most, if not the most, humiliating experiences of my life."
The humiliation had only just begun.
Webmaster's Commentary: Please understand: if such a terrible travesty of US law could happen to this American citizen, it can happen to anyone.
The "enhanced" screening procedures now used by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at the nation's airports has once again been demonstrated as a total failure, this time at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). According to a high-ranking, inside source at TSA, an undercover agent was successfully able to smuggle a handgun through the naked body scanner -- and she did so not only once, but several times.
The US and South Korean militaries Monday launched major annual land, sea and air exercises, amid North Korean threats to turn Seoul into a "sea of flames" in case of any provocation. The US has 28,500 troops based in the South. A US military spokesman said the drills, which began Monday do not involve any extra activities on five frontline islands near the Yellow Sea border.
The 11-day Key Resolve drill focuses on computer-based simulations. The Foal Eagle exercise involves field training that will continue through April 30.
Webmaster's Commentary: With the Foal Eagle exercise, there is a lot of time with which to create some kind of confrontation with North Korea.
Let us hope that cooler heads in the bowels of power in DC and Seoul prevail.
CAIRO — Egypt on Monday slapped a ban on ousted president Hosni Mubarak and his family travelling abroad, and also imposed a freeze on their assets, judicial officials said.
Besides Mubarak, who resigned on February 11 following weeks of protests, the decision also applied for his wife Suzanne, his two sons Ala and Gamal, and their wives, according to the same source. Mubarak stepped down after three decades of iron-fisted rule, handing control over to the army and heading to the Egyptian Red Sea resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh. On February 21, Egypt’s prosecutor general Abdel Magid Mahmud requested a freeze on the foreign assets of the former president and his family.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on Sunday held an online forum in which he promised to focus on making the lives of ordinary people in China more comfortable and secure.
Just a few hours later, Chinese police unleashed a show of force in Beijing, Shanghai and other cities to clamp down on public gatherings after a second week of overseas Internet-based calls for protests across the country.
The combination of Wen's comments about government efforts to raise living standards, accompanied by a display of China's police state tactics aimed at squelching dissent, neatly laid out in one day's time the Chinese Communist Party's approach to avoiding the kind of unrest seen across the Arab world.
Webmaster's Commentary: China has a number of fundamental problems it needs to address, including corruption and a growing wealth differential gap. But because the new China was founded on the principals of revolution, if the Chinese leadership really believes that it can keep the lid on protests without really fixing these problems, they have another thing coming.
About 150,000 Gmail users have had their accounts deleted, including every email, application, contact and calendar information, Google confirmed today.
The problem first arose late yesterday when thousands logged onto their accounts, only to find all their personal information had been erased. Many found that their accounts had been effectively reset, as they were greeted by the message Google welcomes new users with.
In Tennessee, you can smell the crosses burning from your front porch. But these days, the crosses aren’t burning on the lawns of Black folks. Today, we have a new outsider…they are a paler shade of brown…and they’re customs are strange to those whose towns are not big enough for the both of them.
In this world of mass confusion; millions of labels and never ending hype, the actual meaning of the virtues and archetypes becomes relative to the value systems of the people defining them and most of the time this results in them being compromised, to serve a personal agenda, whose hidden and not so hidden drive, can be hypocrisy and which results in an obscene perversion of the power of whatever angel in hiding within and is the instrument of its delivery.
“Forgive me, I must start by pointing out that three years after our horrific financial crisis caused by financial fraud, not a single financial executive has gone to jail, and that’s wrong.”
With those words last evening, Charles Ferguson, the winner of the Academy Award for Best Documentary for his film Inside Job, did a lot more than merely begin an acceptance speech. Ferguson touched the third rail and made a political statement. But did he really? Really? Not in my opinion. Ferguson spoke the truth.
Webmaster's Commentary:
The fraudulent mortgage-backed securities is the biggest financial fraud since the Great South Seas Company bubble of 1721. The United States Government, rather than jail the Wall Street crooks who created this mess, themselves invested in those same Wall Street firms, instead chose to offshore high paying jobs, setting Americans up to have their homes confiscated by the banks to cover the losses. The Government took your jobs so that the banks could take your homes to pay for the disaster.
I am delighted that Ferguson won the award, because more Americans will be inclined to watch his documentary. I myself have yet to see it, and cannot say how complete it is in its analysis. But if Ferguson is chastising DC along with Wall Street, and talking about jail for the Wall Street crooks, then he appears to have covered most of the important bases.
The first warnings of what was to come appeared in the form of a briefing paper on the website of the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation in December. "Recent bouts of extreme price volatility in global agricultural markets," it said, "portend rising and more frequent threats to world food security. There is emerging consensus that the global food system is becoming more vulnerable and susceptible to episodes of extreme price volatility. As markets are increasingly integrated in the world economy, shocks in the international arena can now transpire and propagate to domestic markets much quicker than before."
Outraged, he rose from his chair and silently turned his back on Clinton. He was immediately seized by police and a security goon and beaten to the floor, dragged out and thrown into jail, bleeding. He has sent me photographs of his injuries. He is 71. During the assault, which was clearly visible to Clinton, she did not pause in her remarks.
As if it’s not enough for the TSA to feel you up at the airport, now they’re experimenting with rapid results DNA scanners that can scan and analyze your DNA using just a drop of saliva. Spit at the TSA agent who is molesting you, in other words, and they can use that saliva to scan your DNA and then store it in a government database...
Finally, it should be noted that Libya has refused to obey the IMF and the Wall Street banksters. It’s not just about oil, dictator Gaddafi made a fatal mistake by attacking his own people thus allowing the globalists the opportunity to invade his country. The people of the Middle East and Libya are pawns in this Anglo-American New World Order of the middle east and are doing their bidding by buying into the protests that are engineered by the U.S. and Britain.
Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan predicted on Sunday that America faces imminent uprisings that mirror those in the Middle East.
“What you are looking at in Tunisia, in Egypt … Libya, in Bahrain … what you see happening there … you’d better prepare because it will be coming to your door,” Farrakhan said in a booming voice, thousands of followers cheering in his wake.
Farrakhan also called on President Barack Obama to allow protesters to march, urging the president not to attack innocent people when they do...
This video and song demands the kind of attention that ‘We Are the World’ was given. While Gaza exists the way it does, and Israel continues with its Apartheid policies, the lies of politicians who said they wanted change should forever dog their footsteps...
"The state does not have to cut the collective bargaining rights of the middle class or the lower class in order to repair its budget, what it needs to do is to start taxing corporations, taxing the rich, raising taxes on people who have billions of dollars, and, in addition, we should have long ago realized that the trillions of dollars going towards our overseas military adventures are going to have a profound effect on the US economy," she noted.
"Why don't we cut our defense spending, which is not defensive spending in any case, because we are not fighting defensive wars, we are fighting offensive wars, and ruing, destroying countries overseas with state of the art weaponry, which also has an economic base in the United States,” the American expert emphasized.
The deplorable situation in Libya and the brutal killing of people at the hands of the country's dictator raises a question: Why has the West, including the United States, remained tight-lipped in the face of Muammar Ghaddafi's atrocities?
The US and NATO's possible occupation of Libya will be for them to get their hands on the African nation's oil resources.
Libya's oil reserves are estimated at 42 billion barrels. Libya's oil is of very high quality on the one hand, and the country is located near Europe on the other, making the African nation economically important to the US and Europe.
This unedited video shows Wisconsin citizens waiting for the news about the Capitol building being closed on Sunday evening. As some left the building, they were appreciated with cheers by fellow protesters. It turns out that over 600 protesters were allowed to stay.
At the 2:54 minute mark, the crowd chants "FOX NEWS LIES" Loving this wake up.
There’s a certain irony to my reading this book while waiting at the Food Stamp office. I’m part of an increasing number suffering under the New World Order’s systematic destruction of the planet’s middle classes so as to concentrate wealth in the hands of fewer and fewer families. While global uprisings now threaten global governance under a single currency, scheming rulers have long anticipated this reaction. In The Global Economic Crisis, we learn exactly how a planet-wide military dictatorship plans to enforce its feudal vision.
Neatly organized into five sections comprising 20 essays by fifteen different authors, Global Economic Crisis carefully ties militarization with the planned economic meltdown.
As more cities fall into the hands of the pro-democracy protesters, Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader, is hanging on to the capital where security forces loyal to him seem to have a firm hold, even amid reports of sporadic gunfire.
On Sunday, protesters had taken control of the city of Zawiyah, 50km from Tripoli, further shrinking the control of Gaddafi's government after the opposition took over most of the eastern part of the country.
Webmaster's Commentary: I hope the people of Libya gets their hands on Qaddafi. The tyrants of the world need an object lesson as to why they should not point guns at their own people.

Israel tried to buy U.S. Intelligence officers and Assets— though she emphatically denies, under any circumstances, ever accepting money from the Israelis herself.
Whether or not other agents within the government did take bribes is unknown at this time.
For the first time on record, it has been revealed that a known Mossad agent tried to bribe a U.S. asset into handing over Iraq’s collection of banking records on Al Qaeda’s financial pipeline by phoning her home in Maryland while she was traveling in Baghdad, and promising to deliver a suitcase full of cash to any city in the world in exchange for the papers.
ARMY leaders in eastern Libya who have turned against the Gaddafi regime are preparing to send a rebel force to Tripoli to support the beleaguered uprising in the capital, according to a top military official.
Brigadier General Ahmed Gatrani said a small force comprising army defectors and rebels had already reached the outskirts of Tripoli, where an attempt to oust Muammar Gaddafi on Friday was crushed by pro-regime paramilitaries and soldiers firing indiscriminately at protesters on the streets.
Webmaster's Commentary: If the Libyan army ousts Qaddafi before Obama can invade, then the US doesn't get to pick the next puppet dictator of Libya.
Hamas movement in Gaza on Sunday accused Israel of releasing false news about Palestinian rocket attacks, stressing that Hamas is in contact with Gaza-based factions to maintain cease-fire with Israel. In a statement, Hamas Interior Ministry said the "false accounts" aim at preparing international mood for a military escalation in the Gaza Strip. They are also meant to cover " Israeli measures to make Jerusalem Jewish and the construction of settlements in the West Bank."
