Gordon Duff: Why Wikileaks Doesn't Add Up

One out of seven news outlets have noticed, thus far, that Wikileaks seems to have a “soft heart” when it comes to Israel and India. Zbigniew Brzezinski caught on, finally, declaring that Wikileaks is an “intelligence operation” using “pointed” information carefully “seeded” into a combination of minor scandals and chickenfeed. There is absolutely no question for the press that Wikileaks is totally phony, we all know it, it is blatantly slanted, clearly not only anti-American but aimed Islam. At the same time, it is trying to be more and more clever about seeming less the Mossad “game theory” construct that we all know it is.

From American Revolutionary To American Apathy

What happened Americans? Where is your fighting spirit? Where is your passion? Where is your pride? Your sense of dignity? Your self-worth? Is there anything that you really care about anymore? Your personal privacy is gone. Your standard of living has plummeted. You can’t afford to live a basic middle-class life, even though you have two working parents. Your police force abuses its power; your politicians are corrupt and incompetent; you’re so far in debt that your American Dream is to make next month's payments, yet you trudge along grinding out a living like there’s something honorable about it . . .

The choice is made: banks over people

Banks are really what this is about; it's the reason for the Irish bailout and bilateral assistance from the UK (and non Eurozone countries Sweden and Denmark, who have also chipped in). The banks cannot be allowed to fail, if they do a catastrophe of Biblical proportions will be unleashed. But in doing this, the citizens are to suffer; society can crumble, but the banks must be steadfast. “The purpose of the external financial support is to return our economy to sustainable growth and to ensure that we have a properly functioning healthy banking system”, an Irish government statement read. They made the choice; of the total bailout fund, €35 billion will go towards bank recapitalisation.

Written With Charcoal

”There are so many trees around us that there cannot possibly be a forest here!” This seems to be the attitude of the Israeli Administration. Regardless how harsh reality is, Israeli politicians are fastidiously obsessed with irrelevant details, unable – or unwilling - to integrate a coherent view of reality. Tired of this attitude, God took out the trees. During the first week of December 2010, a fire destroyed 12500 acres of natural forest and 42 lives. Most of the dead were civil servants (Yes, dear friends at the government, you are civil servants! Don’t ever forget that!), making God’s message even stronger.

MUKASEY involved in S&L ruling 1993

Webmaster's Commentary:

Mukasey, whose son worked for Bernie Madoff-with-the-loot, while USAG in 2008 refused to initiate an investigation into allegations that mortgage-backed securities being sold by Wall Street around the world were fraudulent, insisting that the FBI could handle the problem,. The FBI had started investigating in 2006, but refused to take action. As a result, when the fraud was uncovered and the foreign banks demanded refunds on the MBS and Credit Swaps, the US Government intentionally crashed the job market to enable banks to confiscate private homes to re-capitalize their balance sheets and keep them in the black. It was the same sort of real-wealth confiscation Roosevelt had pulled in 1933, only done more covertly to trick Americans into thinking the loss of their homes and accumulated wealth was somehow all their fault.

TSA-Style Pat Downs Hit The Streets

In Philadelphia, you don’t have to visit the airport to have the government molest you, TSA-style “stop, question and frisk” pat downs are already being conducted by police on the streets targeting people who act suspicious, by doing things like putting their hands in their coat pocket. Webmaster's Commentary:

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward." —- Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago

Medic: Israeli policies to blame for Gaza health woes

The head of an award-winning group of Israeli medics said Monday the health woes of Palestinians in Gaza and Arab Bedouins living in Israel were the direct consequence of government policies.As her group "Physicians for Human Rights Israel" prepared to receive the annual Right Livelihood Award in Stockholm, Ruchama Marton said the causes of health problems were often political in nature. Webmaster's Commentary: Welcome to yet another component of Israel's "final solution for Gazan Palestinians and Arab Bedouins.

Fed President Richard Fisher: "Even We Can't Print Enough Money To Compete With The Enormous Flood Of Borrowing Coming From The United States Treasury"

CINDY SHEEHAN OPTS FOR ‘FEEL UP’ AT AIRPORT

I always refuse to go through the scanners and am then subjected to the “feel up”. We have heard that toddlers, elderly people and those with medical problems have been violated by the TSA voyeurs. Each fresh incident produces a brief flash of outrage.

YOU CAN’T PUT GOD ON TRIAL

Yesterday it was reported that a number of rabbinical masterminds in Israel were putting the blame of the fire in the north on God. Shas spiritual rabbi implies fire raging in northern Israel result of ‘desecration of Shabbat’. Haredi newspapers say disaster ‘a warning sign’, call for personal and public self-scrutiny.

Palestinian Prime Minister, Ismael Haniyeh added his voice to this nonsense by stating that “Allah is punishing Israelis for ‘what they did,’ during emergency prayers in Gaza City to ask for rain”. These ‘accusations’ create a dilemma for Israel…. you can’t put God on trial, so a culprit had to be found. What better place to search for one but the closest Arab village in the vicinity…. and search they did…. Webmaster's Commentary:

Quite a conundrum! If the fire is an act of God the insurance companies are off the hook! If the fire is negligence, then the insurers have to pay for all that damage.

J.P. Morgan Getting Squeezed In Silver Market?

J.P. Morgan is currently under investigation by the CFTC for allegedly manipulating the price of silver. The investigation into the bank can be traced back to November 2009 when London metals trader and whistleblower Andrew Maguire contacted the CFTC to report market manipulation prior to it actually occurring. Maguire had been told by J.P. Morgan commodity traders that the bank was manipulating the price of silver and subsequently reported this to the CFTC. He also gave the CFTC two days' notice about an impending silver manipulation that would take place around the Nonfarm payrolls number on February 5, 2010.

Webmaster's Commentary: To describe what happened to Andrew Maguire and his wife as "a bizarre hit and run accident" after he had informed the CFTC of what was going to happen with JP Morgan and silver, is stretching the long arm of coincidence into a dislocation. This was a hit which failed to "neutralize" its target.

Britain: New protests as fees vote looms

The cities and towns across the UK are bracing for more student protests ahead of a crucial vote in Parliament on plans to increase university tuition fees.

Webmaster's Commentary: 'Starve the people to feed the bankers' is a tough sell!

Global Warming University in Shock Ban on Academic Freedom and Debate

Extremist pro-green Swedish university shackles academic freedom and bans all teaching that doesn’t conform to dogma of human-caused global warming.

Johnson is among 22 leading international experts who have dared to join forces and speak out in a blockbuster of a book that exposes the fraudulent science and calculations built into the theory of man-made global warming. The two-volume publication skillfully shreds the lies of government climatologists that faked the warming effect of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by falsely multiplying the numbers three times over.

Yemen Seeks Greater Aid to Expand Antiterror Fight

Yemen is expecting an aid and development package valued at billions of dollars to come out of the February donors meeting. Arab and Western officials responsible for Yemen policy say they understand the need to provide more development assistance to the country, but they feel constrained by Yemen's endemic corruption and its entrenched president, who has run the country for three decades. U.S. humanitarian assistance to Yemen dropped to almost zero earlier in the decade because of corruption concerns.

Webmaster's Commentary: Any aid package which focuses solely on military or police intervention cannot begin to address the fundamental structural problems leading to the insurgencies here. Grinding poverty, illiteracy, and governmental corruption create the perfect storm which makes insurgency look attractive to people who have nothing left to lose. Yemen is very strategically vital, because of its neighbor, oil producing Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf of Aden, which is critical to the flow of oil (and control of the Gulf area). Yet again, as this country did with Pinochet in Chile, as this country did with Batista in Cuba, and as this country did with the Shah of Iran, the US is supporting a tin-pot dictator who has absolutely no regard for the welfare of his own people. And that can only last for so long before the people Yemen get fed up with their government, and throw them out, either through an electoral process, or with violence.

Shortwave Crystal Receiver

Webmaster's Commentary:

For tuning in our new WWCR broadcasts! :)

Actually, this next one is the one I built when I was a kid.

The telegraph key (an antique from the days when radio men really earned the nickname "sparks") is not actually a part of the radio. This image is one of the source images I shot to use as part of the "Room 23" montage in Season 3 of "LOST".

Nuclear Talks Start Between Iran and 6 Nations

Six world powers began two days of talks with Iran on Monday to seek reassurances that Tehran’s nuclear ambitions are peaceful. Ahead of the talks in Geneva, Mike Hammer, a spokesman for the National Security Council said the United States and its allies are looking to see if Iran will enter into discussions “with the seriousness of purpose required to begin to address international concerns.” Webmaster's Commentary: Were I a betting person, I would not bet that a deal Iran feels it can reasonably live with on this issue will be struck. Then, watch the US and Israel use Iran's not coming to (from their perspective) a deal as the excuse for yet another military misadventure.

Silvergoldsilver.com Runs Out Of All Precious Metals In Hours

Since Zero Hedge posted (unsolicited and uncompensated) the "Crash The JP Morgue" now-viral video late last night , it appears that among the tens of thousands of viewers who have subsequently gone to the goldsilvergold.com website, there have been quite a few conversions. So much so that as of [Friday], the company is not taking any orders and is sold out of all products.

Pfeifer-Zeliska .600 Nitro Express Handgun

The worlds most powerful pistol is the Austrian Pfeifer-Zeliska .600 Nitro Express Magnum. It is chambered to fire the British developed .600 caliber rifle bullet originally made by Holland and Holland. Webmaster's Commentary:

Plus if you act now, a free wrist splint kit; the must-have accessory should you ever actually try to fire this artillery by hand! :)

China's Hu tells Obama worried by Korea situation

China is highly concerned about the situation on the Korean peninsula, which could spiral out of control if not dealt with properly, President Hu Jintao told U.S. President Barack Obama in a telephone call on Monday.

"Especially with the present situation, if not dealt with properly, tensions could well rise on the Korean peninsula or spin out of control, which would not be in anyone's interest," Xinhua news agency paraphrased Hu as saying.

"The most pressing task at present is to calmly deal with the situation," Hu added, according to the report.

Webmaster's Commentary: There are those in the bowels of power in DC who believe that another war (any war, thank you very much) will to some degree deflect the fury many Americans are feeling against the Federal government for the unabating financial pain into which they have been placed by the bad domestic and foreign policy decisions this administration has made. This is exacerbated by the realities that:

1. The US is absolutely incapable of paying back the billions it owes China.

2. China and Russia have done away with using the US dollar in their transactions completely, and

3. China refused to revalue their currency at the last G-20 meeting, while Tim Geithner of the Fed has put through a "quantitative easing", injecting billions of dollars into the economy, and debasing the US currency's value even further.

Argentina Recognizes Palestine Within its 1967 Borders

After Brazil's decision to recognize a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, the President of Argentina, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, confirmed, on Sunday, that she would also recognize an independent Palestine with the same parameters. Webmaster's Commentary:

"You can't do that! You're all a bunch of anti-Semites! You're, you're, you're ... NAZIs! That's it, you are all NAZIs! Your fathers were NAZIs and your mothers were NAZIs and your dog is a NAZI. And you smell bad. And your mother dresses you funny. We're gonna order the Americans to kill you all!" -- The whiners

Obama, Hu Jintao Talk As U.S. President Urges China To Rein In North Korea

President Barack Obama urged China's leader in a phone call Monday to send Beijing ally North Korea a message that "its provocations are unacceptable," while the Chinese leader urged restraint. Chinese President Hu Jintao said during the conversation that China was "greatly concerned" about the current tension on the peninsula and called for "calm and rational response" from all sides, China's official Xinhua News Agency said. Webmaster's Commentary:

What about South Korea's original provocation in doing live fire exercises over disputed waters, when North Korea asked them to stop, which was what triggered the North Korean reaction?!?!?

Flashback - Hank Paulson Changes His Story On TARP

VIDEO - PBS News Hour Interview, Nov. 13, 2008 Henry Paulson - Watch how neatly the narrative changes, from buying toxic assets - the Federal Reserve and Fannie & Freddie would eventually assume that responsibility - to capital injections and common stock purchases. Some have since conjectured that he planned it that way from the beginning.

Gen. Petraeus: Afghan victory not a ‘sure thing’

The commanding general of the war in Afghanistan says US victory in the region may not be a "sure thing" after all. "I don't think there are any sure things in this kind of endeavor," Gen. David Petraeus told ABC's George Stephanopoulos in an interview published Monday morning. "And I wouldn't be honest with you and with the viewers if I didn't convey that." Webmaster's Commentary: One has to wonder if General Petraeus isn't setting the American public up for a "Saigon Moment" in Kabul in not too distant future, even though it appears that the US and NATO have agreed to stay in Afghanistan permanently.

ALL EYES ON LEBANON: HARIRI ASSASSINATION

LOOKS LIKE ISRAEL'S FINGERPRINTS ARE ALL OVER THIS ASSASSINATION!

The STL has neglected to consider several key developments: the exposure of Israeli espionage rings operating in Lebanon resulting in the arrest of more than 100 people on charges of collaborating with the Mossad; the captured agents’ confessions detailing the collusion, including one who said his Israeli handlers instructed him to delude the late prime minister into thinking Hezbollah was out to kill him (Hariri) and so allow the agent to alter the route Hariri’s motorcade would take that fateful February day

ISRAEL ON IRAN: SO WRONG FOR SO LONG

As one State official wrote in response to an Israeli general’s November 2009 claim that Iran would have a bomb in one year: “It is unclear if the Israelis firmly believe this or are using worst-case estimates to raise greater urgency from the United States.”

Helen Thomas and the Zio-Ogres from the Synagogue of Satan

I am now very happy with Helen Thomas and I hope her recent behavior becomes a contagion. It may look like she has destroyed her legacy and trashed her reputation in her final years but the fact is, she has put an imprimatur of divine courage and integrity upon the totality of her time here, as opposed to those who possess neither and scream the loudest. She has revealed herself to be more than she was in a profession that never allows you to actually do your job, because you have to cater to the Synagogue of Satan, which owns the media, because it owns the banks, that prints the money out of thin air, which allowed them to buy anything they wanted to buy, while denying that right to anyone else besides a member of the Zio-Ogre Tribe.

Gasland Trailer

The real tragedy isn't that oil drilling has gotten out of control with regards to safety in this country, the real tragedy is that had we taken the trillions of dollars poured all over Wall Street to allow them to buy back the fraudulent mortage-backed securities and instead invested that cash into research into new energy sources, we would no longer need to drill oil either on land or sea. THAT is the tragedy. The US Government not only looted present-day America to recapitalize the banks, they squandered a potential better future for us all to keep their buddies out of jail.

Welfare Fraud at its worse

IRELAND: Does 'Protocol 20' sound familiar?

How much coincidence can intelligence reasonably bear? Read below and ask yourself......Is it not clear that Ireland's 'venal ministers' (verse 33) have sacrificed their country on an altar of destruction? Is it not also clear that this is the fate intended for all nations in order to bring us under the absolute control of some single authority? You can guess the nature of that 'authority' for yourself.

Wikileaks: Brought to you by the CIA

Everything you wanted to know about Wikileaks but didn't know to ask

Julian Assange He's a guy with a vague history... Who travels the world without visible means of support... His parents: Members of an LSD "cult" that abused kids... Hmmm... He's not against war... He hates the 9/11 truth movement... He has no info about the Bush or Obama White House...or the Federal Reserve Bank...or Goldman Sachs (but he is helping take down Bank of America)... His "leaks" paint Pakistan as a threat and foreign politicians the CIA doesn't like as jerks... He believes Osama is alive...and probably in Pakistan... Everything else he "leaks" is stuff we all already knew... The mainstream media loves him...

UK MET Office admits doomsday rising of seas "was wrong."

Alarming predictions that global warming could cause sea levels to rise 6ft in the next century are wrong, it has emerged. The forecast made by the influential 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which would have seen cities around the world submerged by water, now looks ‘unlikely’. A Met Office study also rules out the shutdown of the Atlantic Ocean’s conveyor belt, which would trigger Arctic winters in Britain like those seen in the film The Day After Tomorrow. Webmaster's Commentary: "Can we keep our funding, pretty please?"

Is the Internet 9/11 Under Way?

What will the Wikileaks debacle herald? You guessed it--the last bastion of freedom of information and expression, a free Internet, will topple. After all, if information is now the enemy, we must carefully police any and every aspect of this dangerous medium--all for the safety and protection of 'we the people'. Oh, we'll still have the Internet, just like you can still fly. You'll just have to be on the "approved" list, screened, stamped, zapped, mugged and molested if you want to get "on the net". No biggie. Thanks Julian--job well done.

Government can’t print money properly

In announcing the new bills, officials with the Treasury and the Federal Reserve touted their sophisticated security features, including a 3-D security strip and a color-shifting image of a bell, designed to foil counterfeiters. The new design features debuted after more than a decade of research and development. But it turns out the bills are so high-tech that the printers tasked with producing them can't handle the job.

Helen Thomas slams WSU for ending award named for her

Journalist Helen Thomas fired back at Wayne State University for ending an annual diversity award in her name, telling the Free Press Sunday night that "the leaders of Wayne State University have made a mockery of the First Amendment and disgraced their understanding of its inherent freedom of speech and the press."

Webmaster's Commentary:

In looking at the freedom medals, the Oscars, and the Nobel Peace Prize, it has become obvious that these awards are handed out not for merit but for obedience. As long as you can be brainwashed into thinking that these little bits of metal and ribbon really mean something, and that you should want them, you will forever be a slave to whatever those who hand out such trinkets want you to think, say, or do.

Helen Thomas understands a great truth and one you would do well to study; that the first step in being free of those who would enslave you is to free yourself from wanting what it is they hand out as treats to their favorite pets. The day you willingly walk away from awards, or decide you no longer want the cushy prestigious jobs in media/entertainment, that is the day you stop being a slave, and can tell the world what you honestly think is the truth.

As Obama and Al Gore proved, these "coveted" awards are handed out to help sell the credibility of a person and an agenda to a gullible public. I thank Wayne State University for ending their Helen Thomas Award because by the mere act of having done so, Wayne State University proved that award was never worthy of the person it was named for. In claiming "Wayne State encourages free speech and open dialogue, and respects diverse viewpoints" at the very same time they punish Helen Thomas for her viewpoint, Wayne State has not only proclaimed its own servitude to Israel, not only made itself a laughing stock before the world, but demonstrated that American academia, once the bastion of freedom of inquiry and the exchange of ideas, has deteriorated into just another pointless and costly fashion accessory purchased on credit and worn to bolster ones self-image

Helen Thomas does not have an award. Helen Thomas does not need an award. In speaking truth to power at the expense of her career, Helen Thomas has firmly established herself as the Edward R. Murrow of our time.
P.S. Dear Wayne State University. Helen Thomas is of Lebanese descent. Lebanese are Arab Semitic. So Helen is herself a Semite. Are the clueless idiots at Wayne State University now to be considered anti-Semitic? HELL YES!!!!!!! :)

'The United States Is Behind This Deliberate Leak'

Iran has its own special take on the diplomatic cables recently published by WikiLeaks. Presidential Advisor Esfandiar Rahim Mashai assumes that the United States government leaked the documents itself. In an interview with SPIEGEL ONLINE, he says that Washington's goal is to play off the governments in the Middle East against one other.

A resurgent Syria alarms U.S., Israel

Syria's fresh interference in Lebanon and its increasingly sophisticated weapons shipments to Hezbollah have alarmed American officials and prompted Israel's military to consider a strike against a Syrian weapons depot that supplies the Lebanese militia group, U.S. and Israeli officials say.

After child abuse accusations, Catholic priests often simply vanish

Ten years after the clergy sex abuse scandal first exploded in the United States, lawsuits have been settled, reports issued, policies overhauled. But even as the crisis has shifted to Europe and the Vatican prepares to issue new guidelines on how to handle sex abuse cases, something glaring is missing in this country: the accused priests. Some of the accused priests have been able to retire with church pensions and benefits; others were cut off. Yet many have never stopped seeing themselves as priests, even when the pope has forbidden them to wear their collars or to act as clergy.

WAYNE MADSEN : THE ISRAELI LOBBY OWNS THE CONGRESS, HOLLYWOOD AND THE WHITEHOUSE

INTERVIEW BY KOUROSH ZIABARI

Kourosh Ziabari: There are many unanswered questions regarding the catastrophic attacks of September 11, 2001 about which you’ve written extensively. Several investigative journalists believe that the attacks were an inside job planned by the FBI and perpetrated by Israel or elements connected to Mossad. Former Italian President Francesco Cossiga has categorically expressed that the 9/11 attacks were a joint operation of FBI and Mossad. General Hamid Gul, the former head of Pakistan’s Intelligence Service believes that Israel was behind the attacks, too. What’s your estimation of these theories, their veracity and reliability? Is it demonstrable that the 9/11 attacks were a false flag operation or an inside job?

US technology goes to North Korea via Israel and China

"The real danger comes in Israel's habit of reverse engineering US technology and selling to nations hostile to US interests." American taxpayers pay to provide military technology to Israel and Israel turns around and sells it to China and others. Are we worried about Iran's nuclear aspirations and missile technology? "China sold over 100 missiles and launchers to Iran." Remember, they were supplied by the US to Israel and sold to the Chinese by Israel.
