There's an elephant in global warming's living room that few in the mainstream media want to talk about: the creators of the carbon credit scheme are the ones cashing in on it.
The two cherub like choirboys singing loudest in the Holier Than Thou Global Warming Cathedral are Maurice Strong and Al Gore. This duo has done more than anyone else to advance the alarmism of man-made global warming. With little media monitoring, both Strong and Gore are cashing in on the lucrative cottage industry known as man-made global warming.
In order to comprehend the ostensibly bizarre Wikileaks phenomena that is continually in the news these days, it is essential to first comprehend the concept of the 'Mighty Wurlitzer'.
It used to be the honorific of Frank Wisner, the first chief of political warfare for the Central Intelligence Agency, used to describe the C.I.A.’s plethora of front organizations and newsmedia stooges that he was capable of playing (like a great organ with many keyboards) for synthesizing any propaganda tune that was needed for the day. More details may be gleaned in the disclosures of Operation Mockingbird.
With all of the new security procedures we keep hearing about, it's important for the government to keep convincing us that we're under a very real immediate threat that could put us at risk at any moment. Along those lines, you may have heard over the weekend about how the FBI supposedly stopped a terrorism bomb plot in Portland, Oregon. Except it appears more and more people are scratching beneath the surface and realizing that the entire plot appears to have been cooked up by the FBI itself.
I know it's Jon Stewart and he has his issues, but this is an OUTSTANDING interview. Try arguing with any of this. Ron Paul in 2012! Quotes transcribed:
"My biggest concern is personal liberty, and uh, I’ve noticed over the years that both Republicans and Democrats have very little respect for personal liberty. Therefore, I have been fighting this and I want government to be small. If government is big you have less personal liberty. You have to find out how they finance big government. They tax us a lot, but that’s not enough to pay the bills. They borrow a lot, but that’s not enough.
COMEDY VIDEO - The Daily Show's Wyatt Cenac The Mortgage Bankers Association strategically defaults, walks away from the commercial loan on their headquarters after shaming and ridiculing homeowners who do the same. The hypocrisy from John Courson, MBA's CEO, oozes from the camera as he lectures homeowners for choosing to walk away instead of pay.
Christmas is a time when kids tell Santa what they want and adults pay for it. Deficits are when adults tell the government what they want - and their kids pay for it.
I obviously missed the momentous occasion when the mainstream media turned anti-war. But who can now deny that it is so when we see Wiki-leaks and the mainstream media joining forces to expose the ugly truth of the US invasions of Iraq, Afghanistan, and more recently, what the US state department thinks of world leaders? I mean, that is what is happening, right?
Wrong. Webmaster's Commentary:
Last week, the Department of Homeland Security seized the domain names of roughly 70 websites for copyright infringement. There were no warrants, no court orders, and no court hearings before a judge. The DHS simply used their authority to grab websites on the basis they are perceived threats (apparently Osama Been Deadforawhile makes a good living with bootleg DVDs).
So, if WikiLeaks is really exposing dangerous classified diplomatic cables that are a threat to the United States, why didn't DHS seize the WikiLeaks domain? Assange was dropping hints of a major leak to come. If WikiLeaks was a real whistleblower, DHS could shut them down by grabbing their domain name just as easily as it shut down the copyright violators.
But they didn't.
The dog did not bark!
WikiLeaks is a fake whistleblower, an attempt to repackage old ABCNNBBCBS lies in a new form that the public will swallow.
There is no other possible explanation for DHS not to seize the domain as a real threat, especially since Assange was not shy about dropping hints as to what was to come!
Assange falsely claimed that the Climategate emails were broken by WikiLeaks. This is obviously untrue as CA readers know. I can date WikiLeaks’ entry by contemporary comments. The first notice of the emails at WikiLeaks was 2009/11/21 at 2.50 AM Eastern (12:50 AM blog time). The emails had been downloaded by many people (including me) from a Russian server on Nov 19 and had been downloaded by WUWT moderators on Nov 17. A contemporary comment in a CA thread says that WikiLeaks was down and refers people to megauploads. WikiLeaks has not even been a major reference for Climategate – that belongs to eastangliaemails.com (originally anelegantchaos.org) which was up on Nov 20 and provided a searchable database.
Wikileaks has divided the world into two camps, those who love Wikileaks as a slap in the face for the United States and those who recognize the stench of Wikileaks for what it is, simple Israeli propaganda.
Wikileaks, according to every news agency, newspaper and television station across the world, is a huge embarrassment, a disaster for the United States. You will therefore be surprised to learn that Wikileaks is in fact a US-front organisation, or at the very least a Mossad operation. It is intent on undermining peace in the Middle East, and discrediting the region’s leaders and Iran in particular.
Among long-ago and vague accusations of some kind of 'sexual indiscretion' and possibly rape along with several sensational high-profile leaks of 'American classified war material', WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's whereabouts are said to be unknown while Interpol has issued a 'Red Notice' for him - Tom Dennen.

[Richard Fineberg was the] former policy advisor on oil and gas for two Alaskan governors, including Sara [sic] Palin. … “I was struck by how well informed the questioners were,” Fineberg said. “I was surprised that half a dozen asked questions on specifics, and the scientists and public officials answered in generalities.” It is a “clear sign that more analysis and more substantive information is called for, to fully understand the implications for the Gulf communities,” he said.
Big banks are having trouble restarting the foreclosure process after this fall's "robo-signing" scandal, and the once booming market for foreclosed homes has been hit hard as a result. According to ForeclosureRadar, the number of properties coming to auction in hard-hit western states -- Arizona, California and Nevada -- has dropped more than 30%.
This recent round of so-called leaked documents from Wikileaks now dubbed "Cablegate" shows further confirmation that it is simply a tool being used in a massive psychological warfare operation against the people of the world. It is laughable that most of the stories coming out pertaining to these so-called classified documents support much of the Zionist propaganda we've seen put out over the past decade. These stories are simply providing further justification for a military invasion of Iran which clearly supports the agenda of the blood thirsty Zionist crusaders.

Two days ago 70 websites were closed down by the department of Justice. No judge, no jury and no court hearing. Their argument? They allowed torrent downloads. So if it is so easy to close down websites why is Wikileaks still up and running? The Pentagon has a whole department dedicated to being able to stop cyber "terrorism" and Julian Assange can run rings around them with his Robin Hood antics. The alleged perpetrator Pt. Manning who "stole" the secret documents is in solitary confinement and not even his family is allowed to visit him. We don't know his story but with the political situation in the US being what it is he will probably be called an enemy combatant and will not be allowed to have a court hearing and he will disappear into the system never to be heard from again.
Helicopters loudly circle overhead. Sounds like a lot of force being flexed. Finding out why is difficult, as there is almost no coverage in local media: Police said Jones refused repeated orders to surrender and was reaching into his waistband... no weapon was found at the scene. The rally, organized by the activist group By Any Means Necessary, will begin outside the Alameda County District Attorney's Office ... Protesters will then march to Oakland City Hall....In addition.... participants also will speak out against a bid by former BART police officer Johannes Mehserle to be granted bail while he appeals his involuntary manslaughter conviction for fatally shooting unarmed passenger Oscar Grant III at the Fruitvale station in Oakland on Jan. 1, 2009.
A CNN correspondent is currently aboard the USS George Washington but most people in America are UNABLE to view the live updates. Apparently, a US ship taking part in war games exercises in Korean waters is not important enough for the American people to view. What is going on in Korea? This seems like a clear provocation by the US and South Korea. North Korea has declared the war games an act of war. Meanwhile even more carriers are headed to the Korean Peninsula.
CCN pulled it from their website... but forgot to pull the report from YT. So here's the report. CNN's Stan Grant reports from onboard the USS George Washington, central to the exercies taking place with South Korea. EXCEPT THAT CNN DOESN'T EMBED REPORTERS WITH TRAINING EXERCISES! The last time CNN had embedded reporters on US warhsips was just before the US attacked Iraq.
This past weekend, the whistle blowing website WikiLeaks released thousands more Department of Defense confidential articles that could damage US foreign relations. However, Israel benefited from the release because many of the Arab nations said they view Iran as a threat.
UN scientists are to consider moves such as putting mirrors in space and sprinkling iron in the sea in an attempt to cut global warming, the head of the IPCC said.
More wasted money in these days of "austerity"
All news and commentary taken from, Mike Rivero's whatreallyhappened.com.
Of course the FBI was grooming this pasty for terror! This is a perfect example of how staged terror actually works. The only difference between this and other actual attacks is that the FBI choose to supply Mohamed Osman Mahmud with a fake bomb rather than an actual explosive such as the one given to a mentally ill extremist to bomb the World Trade Center in 1993.
The FBI’s elaborate sting operation that led to the arrest of Mohamed Osman Mohamud for allegedly trying to blow up a fake car bomb during a crowded Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in Portland drew praise from many quarters. But Mohamud’s defense attorney and some Muslim leaders questioned whether the FBI tactics went too far, essentially “grooming” the 19-year-old Somali to commit a terrorist attack.
“The principal deficiency of Wikileaks is its lack of transparency about its operators and funds, characteristics of spies and secret societies up to no good and whose main purpose is to hide from public accountability and conceal corruption and criminality. Such organizations always use a noble purpose and claim secrecy is needed to protect supporters. In practice the secrecy protects the principal beneficiaries, the operators and sources of funds, and supporters are sacrificed to protect the continuation of the enterprise.
Wikileaks head Julian Assange told Forbes that the next leak will be regarding a major American bank. He said that Wikileaks plans to release the documents early next year. Webmaster's Commentary:
Seriously, I think Julian is desperate to distract from the growing awareness that WikiLeaks is an Israeli propaganda operation, and this "tease" of revelations yet to come is just a feint.Well, this gives the banks enough time to meet Julian's price to NOT leak the really juicy stuff, doesn't it?
The volume is very low on the above recording, but in it, Colorado Democratic Senator Michael Bennet is captured by a hot mic saying, "It's rigged, it's all rigged"
It will be interesting to see if the New York Times, which has given so much coverage to Julian Assange's "leaks", will give this revelation about the reality of the US Congress the same degree of attention!
The cases were filed by two different companies and involve different copyrighted adult material. However, the tactics are the same. In both cases, the owners of the adult movies filed mass lawsuits based on single counts of copyright infringement stemming from the downloading of a pornographic film, and improperly lump hundreds of defendants together regardless of where the IP addresses indicate the defendants live. Consistent with a recent spike in similar "copyright troll" lawsuits, the motivation behind these cases appears to be to leverage the risk of embarrassment associated with pornography to coerce settlement payments despite serious problems with the underlying claims. Webmaster's Commentary:
Shakespeare was right about lawyers.This amounts to extortion by those lawyers. They accuse innocent people of downloading copyrighted pornography hoping that the accused will pay up rather than face public exposure!
Retiring baby boomers will impact government spending heavily and this year, combined spending on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are expected to make up 45 percent of primary federal spending, compared with 27 percent in 1975, she explained. Webmaster's Commentary:
It is all well and good to dump the blame for the crisis on the retiring baby boomers, but one needs to recall that Social Security taxes were increased in the 1980s to build up a cash reserve to cover the predicted outflows, but the Clinton administration "borrowed" that extra cash from Social Security, with which it created the illusion of a Federal Budget Surplus. And therein lies the problem. It doesn't matter what sacrifices the people make in higher taxes and reduced services if the government simply spends the extra cash wherever it wants, then announces a new crisis requiring yet more taxes and cuts to services.
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). So IPCC, where is that global warming your data models promised us? Could really use it now.
The average American is going to struggle throughout the next decade. It is hard to see how wages will go up so it is likely that home prices will adjust lower given the magnitude of foreclosures in the pipeline. People might be jumping up and down about the recent job growth but they are occurring in lower paying sectors. So this does nothing to justify current prices. Low mortgage rates are merely a gimmick so banks can use cheap money to speculate on a global scale. Even with mortgage rates at levels we’ve never seen the housing market remains stalled like an old car. Why? Because the actual sticker price is still inflated based on income levels.
Today global wealth is more highly concentrated in the hands of the elite than it ever has been at any other point in modern history. Once upon a time, the vast majority of the people in the world knew how to grow their own food, raise their own animals and take care of themselves. There weren't many that were fabulously wealthy, but there was a quiet dignity in having land you could call your own or in having a skill that you could turn into a business. Sadly, over the past several decades an increasingly growing percentage of agricultural land has been gobbled up by big corporations and by corrupt governments. Hundreds of millions of people have been pushed off their land and into highly concentrated urban areas.
Zbigniew Brzezinski doesn't think all the leaked information coming out of Wikileaks is a result of Army PFC Bradley Manning, as a matter of fact he suspects a foreign intelligence service may be providing the more embarrassing leaks. Webmaster's Commentary:
Along with the obvious pander to Israel's self-image and the pushing for war with Iran, the WikiLeaks dump did indeed contain some minor embarrassing revelations, and I think the message from Israel to the US Government is clear; "You think that was bad? Do as you are told, or we will use WikiLeaks to rip the lid off of 9-11 and put the entire blame on the US Government, and the public will believe us because the story will come from "independent" WikiLeaks, backed up by the US media Israel bribes with millions of dollars, and we in Israel will have deniability for the expose'!"
Decision Points! If the New Yorker's lengthy and incisive skewering of George W. Bush's new book wasn't pleasure enough, here's yet another stumble in the former president's attempt at scrubbing his resume. Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder tells the Telegraph that Bush lied about his stance on the US invading Iraq.
But Arbor Networks, which analyzes malicious network traffic crossing the internet’s backbones, reports that the DDoS generated between 2 and 4 Gbps of disruptive traffic, slightly above the average for all DDoS attacks, but well below the peak 60 to 100 Gbps consumed by truly massive attacks against other websites over the last year.
With US warships and aircraft operating near this sensitive area, chances of a China-US clash are increasing. It’s even possible North Korea might move to provoke a clash, or lash out at South Korea and spark a wider war that draws China and the US into direct confrontation.
In any event, China cannot long tolerate a US fleet operating in its most important waters, any more than the US would permit a Chinese fleet to demonstrate in Chesapeake Bay or the Gulf of Mexico. Washington is wisely pressing China to rein in its excitable North Korean ally. Beijing has no desire for war at this time and has been openly urging calm on Pyongyang and more six-power talks. Webmaster's Commentary: Washington may appear to be "...pressing China to rein in its excitable North Korean ally." However, there are those in the bowels of power in DC who are thinking about a war against China might not be a bad idea right now.
The logical mind boggles at such a thought, but consider the following:
1. The US government is utterly incapable of paying back the billions of dollars it owes China.
http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/368960
2. Obama was thoroughly unsuccessful in persuading the Chinese government to revalue their currency, and there are those in the US government ready, and willing, to declare China a "currency manipulator"
4. And finally, there are those in the bowels of power in DC who believe that another war (any war) is desperately needed to distract Americans from the financial misery into which they have been placed by bad Federal policy decisions, and for the economy to get out of this depression. Historically with the US, that is what has happened. Secretary of State Clinton is off on a tour of Central Asia today, visiting Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan. One has to wonder what she might be "shopping for", in terms of a potential US/NATO attack against China, as barking-dog mad as such a notion might seem.
Story ALSO includes more detail on Washington Mutual losing more than 100,000 U.S. mortgage files and all the associated personal data of the borrowers - names, addresses, DOBs, SS#s, bank accounts, etc. - all during a warehouse move to Juarez, Mexico. And the Time Magazine piece is a MUST READ to get a sense of Bank of America's absolute and unadulterated INCOMPETENCE in foreclosure matters.
"I believe that this is an inside operation that is aimed not only at improving Israel's image in the world at a time when she really looks quite bad but also as a means of blackmailing the United States government into going to war against Iran," Mark Glenn said in an interview with Press TV.
In visiting Germany one cannot help but reflect on history. The thoughts are transported to periods before I was born, periods in history and facts I have read and verified and contrast it with myths that are taught daily to unsuspecting publics. Germany lives in the modern presence but the mist of a heavy and dark past moves all around sometimes getting thick and blurring visions. Some people pump such smoke trying to convince Germans and themselves that this is that mist emanating from a relevant past. We think and speak of how best to explain to Germans that guilt feelings are misdirected. How do we explain the Nazi-Zionist collaborations and the horrors that happened because of a misunderstanding of what really happened nearly seven decades ago (2).
FBI undercover agents had bad been playing patsy with Mohamud since June of 2010, “claiming they were acting as accomplices of a supposed Pakistani terrorist that Mohamed had been in contact with as early as 2008,” The Activist Post tells us. The big difference is, “the FBI actually supplied him with a bomb.” If this isn’t entrapment, what is?
In America today, the person searching for a pure source of truth in the media inevitably stumbles across many poison wells. Even if they are not yet actively pursuing alternative outlets of information, many people are aware, at least intuitively, when someone is trying to swindle them. You can present us with the assurance of delectable sirloin steaks on ornate silver platters, but if our faces are struck with the sickly stench of decay, we aren’t going to bite. Through its dishonesty and its distinct lack of substance, the mainstream media has turned up more noses than any putrid slab of unkempt beef ever could. The raw data is merciless in regards to the implosion of the MSM… Webmaster's Commentary:
Behind the multiple, hypocritical layers of spin served to the frantic 24/7 news cycle, politics is mostly a tacky reality show.
But to believe, as US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton does, that these disclosures constitute "an attack not only on American foreign policy interests but on the international community"; or that WikiLeaks, as President Barack Obama has put it, committed a serious crime, is to display nothing but tacky imperial arrogance. As if the world didn't have the right to gorge itself on the kind of political junk food served to a few consumers inside the Washington palaces of power.
A major law firm knew it sometimes had no reliable evidence of unlawful filesharing when it demanded hundreds of pounds damages from internet users, according to the solicitors' watchdog. London-based Davenport Lyons threatened thousands of people with legal action for alleged copyright infringement between 2006 and 2009. They were told that by quickly paying around £500 damages, plus costs, they could avoid court. Following complaints to the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), Davenport Lyons now stands accused of deliberately ignoring concerns over the standard of its evidence.
On the news today is the ludicrous statement that a majority of Americans support openly gay military personnel. If such a thing were the case then gay marriage and so many related interests would not be getting shut down all the time. Gays in the military is a much bigger deal than these other things. There is a systematic effort afoot to combine the forces of political correctness with socialism in order to create a soviet style atmosphere in the US. We all know who was behind the original Bolshevik Revolution and what they did in that time. One can readily assume that the same directives and conclusions are intended here as well. Stick a fork in America, she’s done.
This is a very bad deal. Irish workers have already endured nearly 3 years of depression-type conditions with shrinking wages, soaring unemployment and dwindling home equity. Now Brussels is taking aim at pensioners to save bondholders in Berlin and Paris from any losses on their bad bets
Mohamud was never a member of a terrorist group. The FBI provided him a fake bomb and worked with him in the planning of the attack. But that’s not unusual these days, because the government no longer just tries to find and arrest actual terrorists; it also tries to create terrorists it can then arrest. In fact, informants now like to stand in the parking lots of American mosques, offering hundreds of thousands of dollars and fancy cars to anyone who will sign up for jihad. It’s a brave new world for thoughtcrime.
Not content with merely pushing world war-style rationing and the complete de-industrialization of the planet, global warming alarmists meeting in Cancun Mexico this week will propose the forced relocation of entire populations in the name of offsetting man made climate change. The shocking proposal appears on page 6 of the executive summary of the Special Climate Change Program. As a means of mitigating climate change, encouraging sustainability and reducing CO2 emissions, the document calls for, “the implementation of relocation programs for human settlements and infrastructure in high risk areas.”
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says his country will not make "one iota" of concessions over its nuclear rights in upcoming talks with world powers.
"If you want results from the talks, you must put aside the devil's temper and sit together under equal conditions on the basis of justice and respect ... and talk about various economic and nuclear fields, reach a deal and do joint work," Ahmadinejad said Tuesday in a speech broadcast live on state TV. Webmaster's Commentary:
"The Obama Administration has effectively decriminalized water boarding, torture, or war crimes by refusing to have the Department of Justice investigate or prosecute former Bush Administration officials who now boast openly about their involvement in committing war crimes. Advocacy groups have tried to have the lawyers involved in creating legal justification for torture disbarred but, given the lack of interest in following the country’s obligation to investigate and prosecute war crimes, the groups have been unsuccessful." Webmaster's Commentary:
When this country institutionalizes torture, as has happened under the Bush administration, and completely sanitizes its use, as has happened under the Obama administration, here's what happens:
1. The United States of America,for all practical intents and purposes, walks away from any human rights treaty to which it was ever a signatory, including the Geneva Conventions.
2. When we torture, we cannot, as a nation, or individually, talk about how we respect democracy and human rights.
3. When we torture, we give hostile nations carte blanche to do precisely the same to American military members and civilians. (For those of you with friends or family currently serving in the military, please think about that one for a while.)
Today, out of an abundance of caution, NOAA has closed 4,213 square miles of Gulf of Mexico federal waters off Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama to royal red shrimping. The precautionary measure was taken after a commercial shrimper, having hauled in his catch of the deep water shrimp, discovered tar balls in his net. Webmaster's Commentary:
It was NOT an "abundance of caution", it was the tar balls! NOAA is still trying to protect itself after going along with Obama's "Magic Vanishing Oil" act of last July.
Cities and towns across Michigan have seen property-tax collections plunge as much as 20 percent in the past year, the steepest drop since a 1994 state tax rewrite, forcing scores of communities to choose by March whether to borrow to pay bills or risk default on bonds.
Webmaster's Commentary:
In an economic system based on debt, where by design the debt always exceeds the amount of money in circulation, default is inevitable. Might as well get it over with now.
It's the oldest trick in the book, dating back to Roman times; creating the enemies you need.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Reposted in light of the FBI's entrapment operation in Portland, and the obvious desire by the US Government to kick off WW3 before a COMEX gold and silver collapse brings down Wall Street.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) is the largest military force ever assembled, with a potential armed force of more than seven million. Two decades after its original enemy, the Soviet Union, disintegrated, the alliance has been searching for a new identity and new role. As it reinvents itself for the 21st century, Nato is also redefining its threat assessments and its area of operations. Webmaster's Commentary:
The Russian leadership is many things, but not foolish. As reported on 30 November, 2010 at:
"While the U.S. and Russia have been publicly crowing about their awesome new friendship for the past two years, Moscow’s been moving small, ground-based nuclear weapons closer to the borders of Washington’s easternmost NATO allies."
"As recently as this spring, the Russians have moved their tactical nukes to sites close to their Western frontiers, alarming the Baltic and Eastern European members of NATO, the Wall Street Journal reports. Russia’s longstanding position is that it won’t pull its tactical nuclear weapons behind the Ural Mountains until the U.S. gets its own small nukes out of Europe. True totals of Russian tactical nuclear weapons is a tightly-held secret, but the Federation of American Scientists estimated last year that Moscow has nearly 5,400 of them, with about 2,000 deployed." Unless the tension between Russia, China, and NATO is defused by some workable, verifiable treaty mechanism, we may well be looking at a recipe for disaster, culminating in a world war.
Drivers are being warned of gangs of 'frost-jackers' on the prowl as temperatures plummet. Three cars were stolen across Greater Manchester in just 20 minutes yesterday as owners left the engines running to defrost them.
People from the outside of the USA can't send you regular mail in many cases anymore. Americans have lost their freedoms and their country. How much longer will they tolerate what has happened to them? How much farther will they allow their government to invade on their privacy in order to give them "security"? Considering all the recent uproar about police brutality to TSA groping, I wonder, how many more of these mini cancers will be needed to accumulate before the entire system collapses?

At one point in his Op-Ed he writes: Perhaps the lack of attention toward these atrocities explains the disconnect in Washington between the compassion felt for the people of eastern Congo and the nominal advancement of specific policies to bring sustainable change to the region. Fortunately, that began to change this summer with passage of the Dodd-Frank Act, which required reporting the origin of potential conflict minerals from Congo. I hope that the incoming Congress will continue the bipartisan movement for sustainable peace and prosperity in that region. I'd like to know who put this "conflict minerals" idea in Affleck's head.
Webmaster's Commentary:
This whole "conflict minerals" nonsense is a trick to protect certain monopolies. As just one example, the global diamond trade is dominated by the De Beers family, and those diamond cutters and merchants lucky enough to be affiliated with them. Diamonds are just carbon, after all, and their value is created through an enforced illusion of scarcity, even though every jewelry store in every shopping mall has am ample supply for the holidays.
But were a competing source for diamonds enter the world market, the illusion of scarcity would vanish, and the price of the diamond in your weeding ring would fall down to the price of the diamond in that drill bit in the garage. So, this whole nonsense about "conflict stones" was invented to trick people into not buying from De Beers' competition, to protect the monopoly, to maintain the illusion of scarcity, and to keep diamond prices high.
Havng been so successful at protecting the diamond monopoliy, the "conflict" hoax is being used to prop up other monopolies and crush potential competition before it ever gets off the ground. Far from assisting the Congo, Ben Affleck has just consigned them into perpetual poverty, unable to exploit and profit from their own mineral resources!
Ben has just proved that the inverse relationship between beauty and brains knows no gender!
When the US government has to go to such lengths to create "terrorists" out of hapless people, an undeclared agenda is being served. What could this agenda be? The answer is many agendas. One agenda is to justify wars of aggression that are war crimes under the Nuremberg standard created by the US government itself. One way to avoid war crimes charges is to create acts of terrorism that justify the naked aggressions against "terrorist countries."
Another agenda is to create a police state. A police state can control people who object to their impoverishment for the benefit of the superrich much more easily than can a democracy endowed with constitutional civil liberties. Webmaster's Commentary: When you are under barraged by alleged "terror" conditions, courtesy of the corporate media and you are scared, you can't think logically. When you pull back, and look at situations for what they are, suddenly, there is a moment of clarity as to why you are bombarded with all this "terror" nonsense, and the fear melts away.
Some apologists are now attempting to defend the lewd, obscene behavior of TSA agents by claiming "they're just doing their jobs." This is the exact same quote that was used by Nazi war criminals to justify their treatment of Jewish concentration camp prisoners; or by Japanese soldiers who raped and pillaged Chinese villages in World War II; or even by government hit men throughout history who have killed innocents because their bosses told them to.
"I'm just doing my job" is the excuse of the weak-minded. It is a desperate attempt to shift responsibility for one's actions to someone else and therefore take on the actions of a mindless, immoral automaton who is incapable of independent thought.
It is because of this project to conquer Eurasia that Russia, China, and Iran have moved closer towards one another and pushed for a united Eurasian front against America and its cohorts. All three Eurasian nations are encircled by a ring of U.S. military bases, military alliances dominated by the U.S. and NATO, and hostile governments supported and armed by both the U.S. government and military.
To cut down on underage drinking, county officials will begin enforcement of a new ordinance next month that allows officers entry into residencies if they suspect minors are drinking on the premises.
Think about this. The FBI did a year’s work in order to convince two people to participate in fake plots. If you are not too bright and some tough looking guys accost you and tell you that they are Al Qaeda and expect your help in a terrorist operation, you might be afraid to say no, or you might be thrilled to be part of a blowback against an American population that is indifferent to their government’s slaughter of people of your ethnicity in your country of origin. Whichever way it falls, it is unlikely the ensnared person would ever have done anything beyond talk had the FBI not organized them into action.

Israel agreed to ease its restrictions on goods and materials allowed into Gaza following its attack on a flotilla of aid boats in May, in which nine Turkish activists were killed. Since then the import of food and many other consumer items has resumed, although there is still a ban on exports and severe restrictions on construction materials. Israel argues that the latter could be used by militants for military purposes. Tony Blair, the representative of the Middle East Quartet of the US, the UN, the EU and Russia, echoed the call for Israel to accelerate its easing of its blockade in an interview at the weekend. “There has been significant change in Gaza, but not nearly as much as we need,” he told the Associated Press. Webmaster's Commentary:
It is important to note that WikiLeaks' dump of diplomatic cables contains nothing which is critical of Israel, yet clearly such diplomatic traffic had to be occurring in the months since Israel's attack on the aid flotilla. This glaring omission by itself proves WikiLeaks is an Israeli propaganda operation.
If you are in the least bit interested in metals - gold and silver than Harvey Organ's Blog is a must read! Every day he will put out the numbers of the Comex and today he gave the best news I have read yet about metals! He says a Comex Default looks to be at hand!! The amount of orders standing for delivery for the month of December is much more than the Comex has officially listed on hand! Also, remember the shorts on metals, especially J.P. Morgan has on silver is Huge! They have to cover their shorts for those who are standing for delivery! How will they do this? Considering the millions of ounces standing for delivery in December? Bet they will be calling those longs and offering a huge percentage over the long value order in cash, instead of physical. Webmaster's Commentary:
Except that the cash is pouring out of Bernanke's printing presses and cannot hold its value at all. Plus, COMEX will cover the losses by asking for a bailout, which means sticking YOU with the losses from their fraudulent over-selling of gold and silver contracts.
Assuming they are not all tungsten, I expect the US Government to use gold bars from Fort Knox to cover those COMEX longs not willing to accept cash for the metals they thought they were buying, but there is probably not enough silver metal available to cover the silver shorts.
Even if COMEX persuades the holders of those metals contracts to accept a huge cash payout (on the taxpayers back) to get them off the hook, international trust in the US financial markets will take a major hit when this all comes down!
Cash-strapped cities and towns across America are having to pay out millions of dollars on new signs under orders of the federal government - because they are the wrong letter size. Washington officials have demanded that every single street sign in the nation which is currently in capitals must be replaced because they are supposedly too hard to read. Webmaster's Commentary:
Yeah, that's really important to force cities to spend money on right now with people sleeping in alleys and eating out of trash dumpsters! This is just more pointless make-work policy to keep the unemployment numbers down with no long-term benefit at all.

The abrupt closing of an Abilene furniture store has left many customers wondering when they will get their money back or receive the furniture they ordered. Ashley Furniture HomeStore was closed Monday, with a sign taped to the door saying that stores in Abilene, San Angelo and Wichita Falls “have temporarily closed their doors due to shipping difficulty.” Attempts to reach the owner of the store, San Angelo-based Lanford and Bratton Holdings, LP, were unsuccessful Monday...

* Weapon hailed as a game-changer that can fire up and over barriers and down into trenches * Soldiers will start using them in Afghanistan later this month
The U.S. army is to begin using a futuristic rifle that fires radio-controlled 'smart' bullets in Afghanistan for the first time, it has emerged. The XM25 rifle uses bullets that be programmed to explode when they have travelled a set distance, allowing enemies to be targeted no matter where they are hiding. The rifle also has a range of 2,300 feet making it possible to hit target which are well out of the reach of conventional rifles. The XM25 is being developed specially for the U.S. army and will be deployed with troops from later this month, it was revealed today.

This is nothing but extortion. If Ireland wants to put its banks on solid footing, there's a way to do it that doesn't involve years of debt-slavery for its people. The government can underwrite the banks with a €10 billion loan from the Pension Reserve Fund that will guarantee deposits while the banks are nationalized and restructured. It is an excruciating process, but it's been done many times before. Ireland does not have to accept indentured servitude if it chooses not to. And why would the government even consider paying an interest rate of 5.8% per annum? Interest rates should be the same as they are for the banks; 1 percent. Should a sovereign nation get a worse interest rate than a crooked banker who ripped off millions of investors?
Sources tell us that an act of war against the United States, one which can be blamed on Iran, is in the planning... The preferred weapon will be submarine launched missiles, probably with small nuclear warheads, that will appear to be launched from Iran. Israeli submarines are currently on station within range of American targets, subs known to be armed with cruise type missiles similar to those used by Iran. The attacks on US forces are dependent on the build-up of tensions tied to terror bombings that have killed one Iranian scientist and wounded another.

In 1991, Congress gave GHW Bush authorization to attack Iraq (the Gulf War). It didn't authorize GW Bush in 2001 or 2003. Yet he went to war anyway, violating international and US laws. As a result, the Iraq/Afghan/Pak wars are illegal. The president, supportive congressional members, other culpable officials, and military high command are war criminals. Those issues are out of sight and mind in the Pentagon and CSIS reports, yet they're more important than any others, and may only be belatedly addressed when America's end time arrives.
"We were all as a group eating outside as we usually do, and this unmarked drab-green helicopter kept flying over and dropping lower," explained Patricia Pantano, education director of the school, to the Santa Fe New Mexican about the incident. "Of course, the kids got all excited. They were telling me that they could see gun barrels outside the helicopter."
Belgium's political drama has largely sailed under investor radar screens. But this fractious country of 10.8 million known for its Flemish painters, waffles, French fries and beer, potentially faces a profound political crisis that could see an end to the unified state, something which has substantial implications for the management of its debt. It tends to be forgotten, but Belgium has one of the higher levels of debt to gross domestic product in the EU with French banks having the largest exposure.
China’s new financial instability is another measure of the deepening global economic crisis and sharpening social antagonisms in what we are told is a classless society. Beijing’s measures to control inflation and speculation could slash growth sharply leading to rising unemployment, poverty and social discontent. And "social discontent" in a country of 1.4 billion people may be something of an understatment. What would Chairman Mao do?
The US government wants tension between North and South Koreas to have a justification for maintaining presence on the peninsula near its strategic rivals, a Koreas expert says.
"The United States wants to keep a base on the Korean Peninsula and really the only basis for staying there would be if North and South Korea are at each other's throat," Ella Rule said on Sunday. "If there is peace in Korea there will be no excuse for the United States to remain on the peninsula from where it has a foothold in his rivalries in China and Russia," she added in her interview with Press TV. Rule explained further that it was not “in the imperial interests of the United States to remove themselves from Korea and therefore they keep on inflaming the situation."

Last week, the Department of Homeland Security seized the domain names of roughly 70 websites for copyright infringement. There were no warrants, no court orders, and no court hearings before a judge. The DHS simply used their authority to grab websites on the basis they are perceived threats (apparently Osama Been Deadforawhile makes a good living with bootleg DVDs).
So, if WikiLeaks is really exposing dangerous classified diplomatic cables that are a threat to the United States, why didn't DHS seize the WikiLeaks domain? Assange was dropping hints of a major leak to come. If WikiLeaks was a real whistleblower, DHS could shut them down by grabbing their domain name just as easily as it shut down the copyright violators.
But they didn't.
The dog did not bark!
WikiLeaks is a fake whistleblower, an attempt to repackage old ABCNNBBCBS lies in a new form that the public will swallow.
There is no other possible explanation for DHS not to seize the domain as a real threat, especially since Assange was not shy about dropping hints as to what was to come!
WikiLeaks is a propaganda front.
