Feds Censor 9/11 Heath Disaster
05-18-2008
American Free Press

I’m going to provide a one paragraph summary, just to make sure that the implications of this are clear to everyone:

The U.S. Government has, almost certainly, established a database and tracking system for something like eight million Americans who have been designated as threats to national security. The system is called MAIN CORE and it is being run under the auspices of highly classified Continuity of Government (COG) operations. MAIN CORE uses a variety of intelligence sources as inputs, including your email, web activity, telephone and private financial information. In the event of a major national security crisis, it is alleged that Americans listed in the MAIN CORE database, “Could be subject to everything from heightened surveillance and tracking to direct questioning and possibly even detention.”

The Last Roundup, by Christopher Ketcham, appeared in the May/June 2008 issue of Radar Magazine. (Full text here and here.)

Below are some excerpts from The Last Roundup. I have provided explicit pointers to the related materials on Cryptogon:

According to a senior government official who served with high-level security clearances in five administrations, “There exists a database of Americans, who, often for the slightest and most trivial reason, are considered unfriendly, and who, in a time of panic, might be incarcerated. The database can identify and locate perceived ‘enemies of the state’ almost instantaneously.” [See: AT&T Invents Programming Language for Mass Surveillance]

He and other sources tell Radar that the database is sometimes referred to by the code name Main Core. One knowledgeable source claims that 8 million Americans are now listed in Main Core as potentially suspect. In the event of a national emergency, these people could be subject to everything from heightened surveillance and tracking to direct questioning and possibly even detention.

…

In the days after our hypothetical terror attack, events might play out like this: With the population gripped by fear and anger, authorities undertake unprecedented actions in the name of public safety. Officials at the Department of Homeland Security begin actively scrutinizing people who—for a tremendously broad set of reasons—have been flagged in Main Core as potential domestic threats. Some of these individuals might receive a letter or a phone call, others a request to register with local authorities. Still others might hear a knock on the door and find police or armed soldiers outside. In some instances, the authorities might just ask a few questions. Other suspects might be arrested and escorted to federal holding facilities, where they could be detained without counsel until the state of emergency is no longer in effect.

…

Another well-informed source—a former military operative regularly briefed by members of the intelligence community—says this particular program has roots going back at least to the 1980s and was set up with help from the Defense Intelligence Agency. He has been told that the program utilizes software that makes predictive judgments of targets’ behavior and tracks their circle of associations with “social network analysis” and artificial intelligence modeling tools. [See: Synthetic Environments for Analysis and Simulation]

“The more data you have on a particular target, the better [the software] can predict what the target will do, where the target will go, who it will turn to for help,” he says. “Main Core is the table of contents for all the illegal information that the U.S. government has [compiled] on specific targets.” An intelligence expert who has been briefed by high-level contacts in the Department of Homeland Security confirms that a database of this sort exists, but adds that “it is less a mega-database than a way to search numerous other agency databases at the same time.”

A host of publicly disclosed programs, sources say, now supply data to Main Core. Most notable are the NSA domestic surveillance programs, initiated in the wake of 9/11, typically referred to in press reports as “warrantless wiretapping.” [See: NSA, AT&T and the NarusInsight Intercept Suite]

In March, a front-page article in the Wall Street Journal shed further light onto the extraordinarily invasive scope of the NSA efforts: According to the Journal, the government can now electronically monitor “huge volumes of records of domestic e-mails and Internet searches, as well as bank transfers, credit card transactions, travel, and telephone records.” Authorities employ “sophisticated software programs” to sift through the data, searching for “suspicious patterns.” In effect, the program is a mass catalog of the private lives of Americans. And it’s notable that the article hints at the possibility of programs like Main Core. “The [NSA] effort also ties into data from an ad-hoc collection of so-called black programs whose existence is undisclosed,” the Journal reported, quoting unnamed officials. “Many of the programs in various agencies began years before the 9/11 attacks but have since been given greater reach.”

The following information seems to be fair game for collection without a warrant: the e-mail addresses you send to and receive from, and the subject lines of those messages; the phone numbers you dial, the numbers that dial in to your line, and the durations of the calls; the Internet sites you visit and the keywords in your Web searches; the destinations of the airline tickets you buy; the amounts and locations of your ATM withdrawals; and the goods and services you purchase on credit cards. All of this information is archived on government supercomputers and, according to sources, also fed into the Main Core database.

Main Core also allegedly draws on four smaller databases that, in turn, cull from federal, state, and local “intelligence” reports; print and broadcast media; financial records; “commercial databases”; and unidentified “private sector entities.” Additional information comes from a database known as the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment, which generates watch lists from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for use by airlines, law enforcement, and border posts. According to the Washington Post, the Terrorist Identities list has quadrupled in size between 2003 and 2007 to include about 435,000 names. The FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center border crossing list, which listed 755,000 persons as of fall 2007, grows by 200,000 names a year. A former NSA officer tells Radar that the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, using an electronic-funds transfer surveillance program, also contributes data to Main Core, as does a Pentagon program that was created in 2002 to monitor anti-war protestors and environmental activists such as Greenpeace.

If previous FEMA and FBI lists are any indication, the Main Core database includes dissidents and activists of various stripes, political and tax protestors, lawyers and professors, publishers and journalists, gun owners, illegal aliens, foreign nationals, and a great many other harmless, average people.

A veteran CIA intelligence analyst who maintains active high-level clearances and serves as an advisor to the Department of Defense in the field of emerging technology tells Radar that during the 2004 hospital room drama, James Comey expressed concern over how this secret database was being used “to accumulate otherwise private data on non-targeted U.S. citizens for use at a future time.” Though not specifically familiar with the name Main Core, he adds, “What was being requested of Comey for legal approval was exactly what a Main Core story would be.” A source regularly briefed by people inside the intelligence community adds: “Comey had discovered that President Bush had authorized NSA to use a highly classified and compartmentalized Continuity of Government database on Americans in computerized searches of its domestic intercepts. [Comey] had concluded that the use of that ‘Main Core’ database compromised the legality of the overall NSA domestic surveillance project.”

If Main Core does exist, says Philip Giraldi, a former CIA counterterrorism officer and an outspoken critic of the agency, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is its likely home. “If a master list is being compiled, it would have to be in a place where there are no legal issues”—the CIA and FBI would be restricted by oversight and accountability laws—“so I suspect it is at DHS, which as far as I know operates with no such restraints.” Giraldi notes that DHS already maintains a central list of suspected terrorists and has been freely adding people who pose no reasonable threat to domestic security. “It’s clear that DHS has the mandate for controlling and owning master lists. The process is not transparent, and the criteria for getting on the list are not clear.” Giraldi continues, “I am certain that the content of such a master list [as Main Core] would not be carefully vetted, and there would be many names on it for many reasons—quite likely, including the two of us.”

Urgent Food Supply Update
They're Going to Sell Your Food
J. Michael Stevens Group
April 15, 2008

By Steve Shenk

The UN World Food Program is asking for $1 billion - $500 million of which they want paid by May 1st. This is to come from developed nations, including the United States, to help with the starvation in under-developed countries. Surely, no one would argue with the humanitarian need to feed the starving Third World countries.

Every country in the world is experiencing food shortages and runaway food prices. So you have to ask yourself, "Where are they going to get the $1 billion worth of food to buy?"

Remember, we are entering the third year of this worldwide famine. The UN has declared a world-wide food emergency.

Third World starvation is terrible, but it's not just "them." Unfortunately, the United States itself has started to starve. We have rationing and ridiculous cost increases of wheat flour (the source for spaghetti, noodles, macaroni, etc.- the basic food of the poor among us). With the bees disappearing in the United States, pollination of fruits, vegetables and nuts isn't happening. Corn shortages will cause severe rationing before the next crop comes in. This means livestock feed will be in very short supply effecting meat, poultry and dairy products.

The United States has been importing 30% to 40% of its food. Countries we are importing from have shut down exports to us to save the food for their own people.

Remember, every country in the world is experiencing food shortages and runaway food prices. So again you have to ask yourself, "Where are they going to get the $1 billion worth of food to buy?"

There is only one developed country that will not shut down exports of food to protect its people. That's the United States. The reason is that our food supply is controlled by international agri-corps. These multi-national food companies will gladly sell our American food to the UN (paid for with your American dollars.)

The bottom line is this - you must realize that the United States of America has 30% less food than what it takes to feed our own population on any given day. Please understand that in all probability these global food organizations will use America's money to buy what's left of your food.

Our middle and upper income families will enter a never before imagined terror for their own ability to survive when food in the next few months becomes tremendously expensive and ultimately a black marketed commodity. It will make no difference how prosperous or poor an individual is. In the near future the measure of wealth will not be the mansion on the hill with a basement vault full of guns and gold. True wealth will be a supply of food to last three to five years.

Your job is to do your research and decide what the worldwide, and particularly the United States, famine means to you. Check on world and American food availability. When the UN declares an emergency, you have to believe that the famine is no longer recoverable.

When the mass media is forced to report the famine, you can be sure of two things:

They will first point to problems outside the United States to distract us from our own rising levels of food shortages.
You will shortly see heart-wrenching examples of world organization planes and trucks feeding the starving people of these undeveloped countries. But be more concerned with what you aren't shown. You won't see the other people in those countries left to starve (they weren't fortunate enough to be "selected" for the photo op.)
But even more important is the fact that those of you who can still just barely afford food (clean or not), will never be told how fast food is disappearing in America until the riots break out.

But then, of course, this all could be the ravings of a paranoid, overheated, foolish brain.

The genetically altered crops could be eliminated worldwide and those remaining could be required to carry pharmaceutical disclaimers. (For example: immune deficiency diseases, cancer, diabetes, heart failure, impotence, Alzheimer's, Morgellon's Disease, hypertension, etc.)

The bees could miraculously regenerate and pollinate this year's crop bringing back two thirds of the food we eat every day.

The thousands of farmers paid not to grow crops could instantaneously bypass the three to five years, and the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment costs, needed to get immediately back into production. (Of course, the last generation of farm kids would have to be pulled back from their city jobs because grandma and grandpa are too old to ride the tractors.)

Fuel prices could be dropped to an "honest" profit over cost. Then truckers could make a decent living hauling our food and farmers could afford to plant.

The worldwide famine where the planet didn't produce as much food as the population ate the last two years is now entering its third growing season with less water and fewer crops planted. We could hope to see media headlines in a month or two declaring, "We were just kidding about all this food scarcity stuff. We just wanted to scare you."

The countries that we import food from could apologize for shutting off exports and, even though they don't have enough food for themselves, they could share with us just because they like Americans.

Investors could sell back water rights in land over aquifers to return them to public rather than private use and control.

The Doomsday Seeds Vault in Norway could be permanently sealed. It wouldn't be needed if farmers worldwide were given back (heritage) seeds to plant year after year, never having to buy seed again.

Yes, this whole mess could get miraculously turned around in the next couple of months. Food prices could drop to where even the poor in the US could afford their spaghetti. And it could be that we will never see a food riot or a bread line with no bread on American soil.

Do your research and place your bet on what you think will happen.

Is it better to have what you don't need or need what you don't have?

What's in Your Cupboard?

Has the Battle for America Begun?

Richard C. Cook
Global Research
May 16, 2008

This article contains several forecasts, including the possible start of a major war with unforeseeable consequences, if the U.S. should happen to attack Iran .

Of course it is in the nature of forecasts to be speculative. There are also forecasts that are intended to serve as warnings and thereby contribute to preventing the events under analysis from ever taking place.

The world’s financial elite, long having made their homes in the metropolises of Western Europe, also with a major branch in New York City , may be the party that is really behind what could be an attempt to start World War III by pitting the U.S. against the Asiatic land powers, most notably Russia

The elite have long viewed control of the vast resource-rich Asian continent as the key to control of the world, with the fulcrum of domination being the oil-rich Middle East . Such a war could begin if the U.S. and Britain follow through by attacking Iran on the heels of the Afghan and Iraq wars and recent military deployments to the Persian Gulf region.

The attack may be nuclear, egged on by neocon extremists in the U.S. and their counterparts in Israel , who may simultaneously carry the attack to Lebanon and Syria . (See Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya, “Beating the Drums of a Broader Middle East War,” Global Research, May 7, 2008.) These events are closely tied to the U.S. economic recession now underway and the 2008 presidential election.

What is unique about this analysis is the author’s contention that the U.S. is being used unwittingly by the European-based financial powers for their own purposes. They know that the U.S. economy is bankrupt, because they have made it so through a quarter century of financial manipulations that have destroyed our manufacturing base and left us horrendously in debt.

Now they have suckered us into the last thing we need—a major Asian land war that threatens to bring Russia and perhaps China into the fray. But that’s all right, because once we have exhausted ourselves and courted nuclear retaliation, Europe, which is uniting under the European Union, will likely be left standing, as will Israel .

Note that Israel was created by and owes its primary allegiance to the European financiers, especially those in London , even though the U.S. has been its primary arms supplier and enabler since the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. If the financiers, aided by Israel , can instigate a major war to get rid of Russia , along with the U.S. , as world powers, they will have accomplished their aim.

The Unique Status of the U.S. and Russia

The U.S. and Russia are the two great continental powers which up until about a century ago most stood in the way of the rapacity and greed of the international financial elite. The people of both nations have a history of being deeply spiritual, talented and innovative, and rooted in the land. Both nations tried for a long time to keep Western Europe , with its history of economic and colonialist imperialism, at arms length.

Despite the wars and traumas of the 20th century, both the U.S. and Russia remain cultures where ordinary people have struggled to express themselves, to learn, to work, and to excel, even with Russia ’s background of Tsarist and Soviet autocracy. See, for instance, the writings of Russian author Alexander Solzhenitsyn (1918-).

This heritage is much different from that of the Western European aristocratic culture with its rigid class divisions, where an economically powerful oligarchy has controlled society for centuries and has always managed to stay on top despite wars and revolutions.

The aristocratic tradition is most notable in Great Britain , with the incredible wealth of the Windsor royal family and the concentric circles of power and influence which surround it. These circles are made up of a blend of the old nobility with the more recent additions of bankers, financiers, industrialists, government executives, media moguls, and intelligence operatives who continue to control much of the wealth of the world.

The people who settled America fled that predatory aristocratic culture to find freedom. It is less well known how Tsarist Russia resisted Western European domination, but it is a fact that a longstanding alliance among the House of Romanoff, the Orthodox Church, the rural nobility, and the peasantry came together to create a culture that successfully kept that nation free from external control for most of its history.

European Lust for Control of the Middle East

It was really the European elite, both deeply materialistic and coldly inhumane, that was responsible for both of the 20th century’s world wars, for funding the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia , and for bringing about today’s economic crisis that threatens to reduce to abject poverty or even starve perhaps half of the world’s population. Now a third world war threatens, and while it appears on the surface that the immediate cause may be U.S. ambitions in the Middle East , this is a mask for the underlying machinations of the European controllers who are pulling the strings.

These people couldn’t care less if the U.S. is bankrupted or destroyed in a larger Asian conflict while engaged in doing their dirty work. In fact that appears to be the plan. A nation like the U.S. that owes as much money as it does today to foreigners, including China and Japan who purchase close to half our national debt, is no longer master of its own destiny.

The European desire for military conquest of the Middle East dates to the Crusades which started in the 11th century. By the end of the 18th century, Great Britain had planted itself on the eastern terminus of the region through the conquest of India . In 1798, Napoleon invaded Egypt . World War I saw the destruction of the Ottoman Empire, with Britain and France redrawing the map of an area consisting of almost a million square miles. When Israel was founded in 1948, it became a Western bridgehead.

But today it’s the U.S. , with its bases in Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf, and conquests in Afghanistan and Iraq , that leads the charge. This is so, even though a glance at the map shows how contrary to our strategic interests—and how unimaginably expensive—it is for us to have been drawn into a major open-ended military commitment in this part of the world. Some call it empire. Rational men call it lunacy.

How has this come about? Since the 1970s, the U.S. has been dangerously dependent on Middle Eastern oil and on the OPEC nations to purchase our Treasury bonds. The need to sell our debt abroad came about late in the Vietnam War when our post-World War II trade surplus was reversed and the government went deeply into debt to pay for the war and the growth in income support entitlements.

But there is another explanation for why we are there—pressure from the Jewish lobby. This lobby acts in the U.S. , perhaps unwittingly and certainly against its own interests as U.S. citizens, as a surrogate not only for Israel , but, taking a longer view, also for the European financial elite who backed the creation of a Jewish national state in Palestine in the first place.

Of course many Jews, including sizeable numbers in Israel , themselves no longer believe in policies which have brought them so much ill repute. Increasingly, people of goodwill, including many of the Jewish faith, are coming to understand that neither opposition to the abuses of the financial elite nor questioning the actions of the Israeli state itself is anti-Jewish or anti-Semitic.

But if events continue in the same direction, the Asiatic land powers, now loosely organized through the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which includes China , Russia , Kazakhstan , Kyrgyzstan , Tajikistan , and Uzbekistan , with Iran as an observer, will have had enough. There is a line in the sand facing west as well as east. A major war is clearly on its way which seems to be timed to coincide with the ongoing economic collapse that is undermining the U.S. economy and also threatening to plunge much of the world into famine.

Connection with the 2008 Presidential Election

The war scenario is unfolding now and will likely accelerate as we approach the November presidential election. The actions underway appear to be designed to present any new president with a fait accompli, where corrective action is no longer possible. It would be the last and worst of the catastrophes visited on our nation by the revolutionary cabal of George W. Bush, Richard Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, and the neocon shock troopers who took over when the Supreme Court awarded Bush the presidency after the 2000 Florida election debacle. Within nine months came the 9/11 attacks, followed by wars against Afghanistan and Iraq using off-the-shelf plans. Next came the Department of Homeland Security and the Patriot Acts.

Now in 2008 the three remaining presidential candidates are all compromised. Hillary Clinton, with her husband Bill, have long been servitors of that branch of the international financial elite headquartered on Wall Street in New York City . Recently, Republican candidate John McCain traveled to do homage to Israel , then attended a soiree with the Fourth Baron Rothschild in London . Barack Obama has also affirmed his loyalty to Israel , though his utterances against Iran are less vehement than those of Hillary Clinton, who has threatened to “obliterate” that nation.

Obama appears the most likely to become president, because the financial controllers, acting through the corporate media, seem to have designated him as such. Hillary Clinton is under intense pressure to get out, even though the Democratic race is a virtual dead heat and she just routed Obama in the West Virginia primary. The latest blow to Clinton is the endorsement of Obama by John Edwards, the Democrats’ 2004 vice presidential candidate.

Obama is the candidate who came out of nowhere because eighty percent of Americans believe the nation is headed in the wrong direction. He is the candidate calling for “change,” whatever that means.

Paul Krugman, writing for the New York Times, says, “Mrs. Clinton, we’re assured by sources right and left, tortures puppies and eats babies. But her policy proposals continue to be surprisingly bold and progressive….Mr. Obama is widely portrayed, not least by himself, as a transformational figure who will usher in a new era. But his actual policy proposals, though liberal, tend to be cautious and relatively orthodox.”

The determination by the financial controllers that Obama is the anointed one may also be shown by the entry into the race of former Georgia congressman Bob Barr as the candidate of the Libertarian Party. Barr will siphon votes away from John McCain and make Obama’s election a certainty, just as Ross Perot did with President George H.W. Bush in 1990, allowing the election to swing to pro-business Democrat Bill Clinton.




Barr’s entry is no accident and serves multiple purposes. According to journalist James P. Tucker, Jr., for instance, attendees at an April 25-28 meeting of the Trilateral Commission in Washington , D.C. , made a determination to stop Republican candidate Dr. Ron Paul’s momentum in stirring up a political “revolution.” (James P. Tucker, Jr., “Trilateral Commission: Global Elite Gather in D.C.,” Global Research, May 6, 2008)

Dr. Paul, who has been delivering the news that the Federal Reserve by which the bankers rule should be abolished, and that U.S. foreign policy based on military conquest of the world should end, has been causing, according to the Trilateralists cited by Tucker, “significant future damage.” Bob Barr will doubtless be awarded handsomely for his trouble in helping de-fuse Dr. Paul’s movement.

Dr. Paul is to be commended for his stance in taking on the establishment, and from the financiers’ point of view, such populist uprisings as he is leading obviously must be checked. Using a Libertarian candidate to do this costs them nothing, as it is almost comical how the “macho” but outdated laissez-faire economics of the Libertarians play into the hands of the privately-owned banking system which makes all the important economic decisions anyway.

Obviously the financial establishment must feel reassured by the likelihood that Obama really won’t change much of anything. Overseas, this could make it even more certain that a wider war will start before the election, so that Obama, being “cautious and relatively orthodox,” as Krugman says, will go along with whatever scenario he is handed and so will be handcuffed by events.

The trigger could be a 9/11-type faux attack, possibly a “suitcase” nuke going off in a U.S. port city, as has been rumored. Other possible scenarios include an attack on Iran being a cover for the election to be “stolen” from Obama, or even for the election to be canceled, with Bush continuing as president. Perhaps this is what explains Bush’s curious detachment in the face of his coming departure as the most unpopular president in history. He may even entertain the psychopathic idea that cancelling the election could be perfectly “legal” and within his rights as a wartime chief executive. What would Obama do if faced with such an outrage while out on the campaign trail? Perhaps nothing.

Meanwhile, Democratic figures in Congress, such as Senator Joe Biden and Congressman John Conyers, are threatening to impeach President Bush if he attacks Iran without a congressional resolution. Unfortunately, the Democrats are totally lacking in credibility given their failure to force Bush to retreat from Iraq despite their mandate in the 2006 elections where they regained a majority in both houses. Bush would probably like nothing more in the waning days of his presidency than calling their bluff.

A Calamity Rooted in History

Events on this scale take decades or even centuries to develop. In fact such plans may have been in the works at least since the late 1800s, when three world wars were allegedly forecast by such figures as the celebrated Confederate general and Freemason Albert Pike, elected Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite’s Southern Jurisdiction in 1859.

True to Pike’s prediction, 1914-18 saw World War I, which forced the centuries-old rule of the European landed nobility to accommodate to the banking elites and to the heads of the industrial cartels which built the war machines of the combating nations.

According to Benjamin Freedman (1890-1984), an American eye-witness to events within the Woodrow Wilson administration, Wilson took the U.S. to war only after being pressured to support Great Britain when the British agreed to facilitate creation of a Zionist state in Palestine . The original Zionists, led by Theodor Herzl, had been favorably disposed to accepting a British offer of virgin land in Kenya , but the financiers wanted Palestine because of Middle Eastern oil and proximity to the Suez Canal . The result was the Balfour Declaration of 1916.

At the end of World War I came the Russian Revolution, when the financiers paid for the Bolsheviks to destroy the Russian Christian monarchy of the Romanoffs. Soviet communism was the result. Less than a generation later another world war was fought, with World War II ending with the triumph of the U.S. , Britain , France , the Soviet Union, and China as allies. Afterwards, finance capitalism exerted its control of the developing world through the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. According to economist Michael Hudson, the West declared the existence of a Cold War only after the Soviet Union refused to accede to U.S. hegemony by joining the IMF. (Michael Hudson, Superimperialism: The Economic Strategy of American Empire, 2003)

Another major revolution followed World War II, as had happened after World War I, but this time in China , where the communists under Mao Tse-Tung took over. In 1948, the nation of Israel was declared, partly through the instrumentality and wealth of the Third Baron Rothschild, who was also an MI5 controller and alleged Soviet agent. (See Roland Perry, The Fifth Man, 1994.)

The key event in how the financial elite gained control over the U.S. in the postwar world was the 1971 decision by the Nixon administration to remove the dollar gold peg and allow world currencies to “float.” After the U.S. agreed to the explosion of OPEC oil prices in the 1970s, dollars flooded the world. (See Richard C. Cook, “Extraordinary Times, Intentional Collapse, and Takedown of the U.S.A. ,” Global Research, April 30, 2008.)

In 1979 the Federal Reserve under Paul Volcker plunged the U.S. into recession to fight the resulting inflation, and the U.S. producing economy was wrecked. Since that time there has been no real growth of the U.S. GDP or the standard of living of American workers. Rather a steady and seemingly irreversible decline has set in under the euphemistic title of the “service economy.” Since the early 1980s there has been a constant cycle of inflating and deflating asset bubbles, with the latest episode being the collapse of the housing bubble following the ruinous housing and real estate inflation engineered by Alan Greenspan, Volcker’s successor as head of the Federal Reserve.

The result of the bubble economy under the Federal Reserve regime known as “monetarism” has been a debt overhang on the U.S. producing economy of $50 trillion, four times the nominal GDP of $13 billion. There is an additional overhang of more than $500 trillion in derivative speculation worldwide that many legitimate U.S. investors, including employee pension funds, have been caught up in.

Severe economic distress usually leads to war, with the elite financing both sides and using the resulting chaos to redraw the map to their advantage. We have now had two world wars, and the third appears to be coming. The end result, according to “conspiracy theorists,” is supposed to be a financial world dictatorship with Europe ’s financial and hereditary aristocrats at the top of the heap. The center of this dictatorship would be Northern Europe, with the focal point being the two-square-mile financial district known as the City of London . This group also controls the European Union headquartered in Brussels .

Then what is left of North America, Asia, Africa, and Latin America would be tightly controlled colonies inhabited by relatively small numbers of “human cattle” and their overseers. The advanced technological execution for the machinery of control and oppression would be the job of professionals in the field, probably including the British MI5, the CIA, the Israeli Mossad, and private armed mercenaries like Blackwater and Halliburton.

Dangers of the Present Moment

Whatever may be the murky background of the financiers’ conspiracy of subversion, what makes the present situation so dangerous is that entire nations and regions are slipping from their grasp. Russia , China , Venezuela , Bolivia , Ecuador , and other nations are becoming increasingly independent. Meanwhile, as food prices inflate, people in developing nations are facing starvation, even as Western agribusiness and oil companies reap record profits. Political upheavals are inevitable.

It has never been so obvious to so many that Western-style finance capitalism is ruining the world. An example of the growing awareness is a new book entitled Currency Wars (Huobi Zhanzheng), written by a Chinese author who lived in the United States and worked on Wall Street.

According to Asia Times Online (April 8, 2008), Currency Wars “has become a runaway bestseller in China in the past nine months. The book caused a sensation of interests and heated discussions in Chinese cyber space and other media on Western intentions behind its demand that China quickly appreciate the value of its currency. Song Hongbing, the book’s author, draws from a wide range of literature in English and argues that the modern history of international finance is primarily a process of how a very small number of powerful families in the West have established their control over governments and international institutions.

“According to Song, there is no such thing as a free market when it comes to global finance and financial institutions. From the Rothschild family at the time of the Napoleonic Wars to the rise of J.P. Morgan, the Rockefellers, and other prominent U.S. financial powerhouses, Song sees all the modern wars, depressions, and manmade disasters having a linkage to the manipulation of a handful of Western private bankers.”

And it’s not only in China . Through the internet, hundreds of millions of people are wising up to what the central banks and global corporations run by the world’s super-rich are doing to them.

So the financiers are realizing that things are not going their way. The world is becoming more diverse. Nations, peoples, and regions long for freedom and security. Science and technology have the potential to bring about astounding improvements in the standard of living, as well as individual knowledge and potency.

There is also a worldwide resurgence of nationalism, for example, in Russia . After that nation overthrew communism in 1991, the international financiers attempted to move in through the Russian oligarchs and take control of the nation’s resources. But a free election brought Vladimir Putin to power. He succeeded in producing on Russian soil a nationalist revolution which is loathed by the Western financier press, such as the Washington Post. Russia today is regaining its identity and independence.

In East Asia , China is threatening to break out of the system of U.S. dollar hegemony and use its own currency to bring about commercial stability in the region. In the Middle East, Iran has yet to cave in to U.S. pressure, the Palestinians still defy Israel , and in other areas around the world, including Central Asia, Africa, and Latin America, movements toward indigenous self-governance threaten to upset the “ Washington consensus” and introduce a truly multilateral tenor to world affairs. The euro is also making inroads as an alternative reserve currency.

Meanwhile, the American colossus is eroding. The U.S. government, with almost $10 trillion in debt, has been declared functionally bankrupt by experts. The domestic economy no longer has a manufacturing sector worth speaking of. Outside of the financial centers on the east and west coasts, the nation’s business establishment is deeply in debt and noncompetitive with overseas producers. Public health is declining.

The U.S. financial system began to deflate in the summer of 2007 but has so far avoided a wholesale crash due to the easy credit policies of the Federal Reserve in allowing financial institutions to roll over their debts. This is all likely to terminate after the 2008 election, when the Federal Reserve stops bailing out the system and real depression sets in. Simply put, the U.S. population no longer has anything close to sufficient income to support its accustomed way of life, especially with the ongoing collapse of the standard of living due to oil and food price increases.

So the war-mongers may be thinking they must now act before it’s too late—before a worldwide convulsion throws them from their seats of power. The time for the financiers to set off the next major conflagration may have arrived. Naïve American politicians are there, as always, ready to help, perhaps sensing but not really acknowledging that they have been led into a trap.

The Real U.S. Strategic Interest

If the next big war starts soon it will likely have been triggered in order to distract attention from our economic woes. Once chaos sets in there will be food riots and starvation around the world, including in America . And yes, the police and military are getting ready. The war will be a handy excuse to lock up people by using the Patriot Acts and various executive orders signed by President George W. Bush. Canada and Israel have already signed a joint public safety “partnership,” which doubtless includes cooperation with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

At this point you would expect American policy-makers to realize that the U.S. has no strategic interest in maintaining its military forces overseas in such a vulnerable posture and would start withdrawing. You would also expect that they would do what President Franklin Roosevelt did during the New Deal which was to utilize public credit to rebuild the U.S. public and private infrastructure before the economy collapses altogether.

The fact that none of the mainstream political leaders, least of all McCain or the Democratic front-runner Obama, has any intention of taking such decisive action proves that policy is not being controlled from within the United States . When a person or a nation fails to act in its own self-interest, there has to be a reason. That reason is usually that its actions are controlled from outside.

The fact is that the U.S. economy is controlled by international finance, not by the U.S. business establishment or by our own political system. So the U.S. cannot change anything, especially in taking effective and rational measures to get the nation out of debt. Similarly in the area of foreign and military affairs, the nation appears unable to backtrack from its march to catastrophe.

So whether the people of this nation want it or not—and a majority do not—wars are being waged, with the one against Iran likely to be followed by a general world conflict—the battle for Asia . It will be the financiers and their personal military forces—chiefly Israel , which is armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons—who will be left to pick up the pieces once the U.S. and Russia have reduced each other’s forces to rubble.

Can anything be done? Of course. A U.S. president worthy of the office would take two immediate actions. The first would be to abolish the Federal Reserve, as Ron Paul advocates. But instead of hankering for a Libertarian “free-banking” system more suited to 1830 than to 2008, “We the People” should demand that our elected representatives in the White House and Congress use public credit to rebuild our economy and provide our people with real income security. (See Richard C. Cook, "An Emergency Program of Monetary Reform for the United States," Global Research, April 26, 2007.)

The second immediate action should be to stop trying to conquer the globe militarily on behalf of alien financial and geopolitical interests. These measures will also allow the governmental tax burden to be cut radically, because the main purposes of the income tax are to pay interest on the national debt and finance wars.

It is now time for all genuine American patriots, including those in the military, intelligence, and political establishments, as well as students, workers, employees, managers, industrialists, and retirees to recognize the crisis and step forward fearlessly to defend the real interests of our country. Increasingly people are coming to understand that winning the battle for America requires steadfast opposition to the cabal which holds power and is ready to throw our nation and its population to the wolves for a bit of vainglory and thirty pieces of silver.

Unfortunately, it seems to be the way with empires for those in power to be identified exclusively with their personal self-interest while the world crashes down around them. People must wake up. The house is on fire. We can only hope that some still have eyes to see.

Of course everything in Washington could change with a responsible president who is supported by a new Congress which has the determination that should be expected after the voters take their vengeance this November on a Republican Party that Bush, Cheney, and Rice have tarred with infamy. But then again only if a widened Middle Eastern war can be prevented between now and then. It could be prevented if an awakened military loyal to the Constitution refused to obey the illegal orders of a repudiated lame duck president acting without congressional authorization.

For the longer-term, we should step back, reassess the geopolitical outlook, and take the long-overdue step of recognizing who our natural allies in the world really are. One of these is Russia . Instead of fighting Russia we should forge a new alliance with that nation with the aim of securing peace, first in the Middle East and then in the world.

US soldier refuses to serve in 'illegal Iraq war'

AFP
Thursday, May 16, 2008

Matthis Chiroux is the kind of young American US military recruiters love.
"I was from a poor, white family from the south, and I did badly in school," the now 24-year-old told AFP.

"I was 'filet mignon' for recruiters. They started phoning me when I was in 10th grade," or around 16 years old, he added.

Chiroux joined the US army straight out of high school nearly six years ago, and worked his way up from private to sergeant.

He served in Afghanistan, Germany, Japan, and the Philippines and was due to be deployed next month in Iraq.

(Article continues below)



On Thursday, he refused to go, saying he considers Iraq an illegal war.

"I stand before you today with the strength and clarity and resolve to declare to the military, my government and the world that this soldier will not be deploying to Iraq," Chiroux said in the sun-filled rotunda of a congressional building in Washington.

"My decision is based on my desire to no longer continue violating my core values to support an illegal and unconstitutional occupation... I refuse to participate in the Iraq occupation," he said, as a dozen veterans of the five-year-old Iraq war looked on.

Iran Intercepts U.S. Terrorists Plotting Attack on Russian Consulate

Kurt Nimmo
Infowars
May 16, 2008

As if to underscore neocon retired general Thomas McInerney’s call for terror attacks against Iran (see Paul Joseph Watson, Neo-Con General Calls For Terror Attacks In Iran) , the Russian news and information agency RIA Novosti reports “Iran has arrested a terrorist group that planned to blow up the Russian consulate building in the town of Rasht near the Caspian Sea, the Iranian intelligence and security minister said on Wednesday.”

It appears the neocons are attempting to drag Russia into the coming conflagration, particularly because Russia has cooperated with Iran, specifically in regard to Iran’s light water reactor at Bushehr. In late 2005, Russia proposed an arrangement under which Iran would end its uranium enrichment activities in return for a Russian guarantee to enrich, in Russia, all uranium needed for Iranian nuclear power plants, an arrangement permitted under the NPT. It appears the neocons and their terrorist proxies are now targeting Russia for its perceived impertinence.

As award-winning journalist Seymour Hersh reported back in 2004, U.S. intelligence and Israel’s Mossad are busy at work stirring up trouble in Iran in preparation for an attack on that country. In early 2005, the Guardian reported that “American special forces have been on the ground inside Iran scouting for US air strike targets for suspected nuclear weapons sites, according to the renowned US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh.”

Obviously, as the foiled attack on the Russian consulate demonstrates, this operation has expanded from simply targeting nuclear facilities — again, entirely legal under the term of the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty — and now includes directing terrorist groups against civilian and government targets.

Earlier in the week, Iran’s intelligence minister said “those behind a bomb blast in a mosque that killed 14 people last month also planned to target a Russian consulate in the Islamic state,” according to Reuters. “President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused the United States, Israel and Britain on Tuesday of being responsible for the blast in the southern city of Shiraz that also wounded 200 people.” Intelligence minister Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei said his “ministry last week said it had arrested five or six members of a terrorist group with links to Britain and the United States, who it said were involved in the explosion” at the mosque.

McInerney’s comments on Fox News were intended to dovetail with this increasing “covert” U.S. and Israeli sponsored violence in Iran. It appears the targeting of a Russian consulate is designed to ratchet up the tension. In the future, if MEK or “al-Qaeda” terrorist groups successfully kill Russians, this may very well start a Third World War, or as the neocons fondly call it, World War Four.

The Overthrow Of The
American Republic - Part 21
Trapping The Grand Old Enemy
By Sherman H. Skolnick
11-10-2

Sometimes the explanations of historical events are both simple but diabolical. Behind the scenes, those who know a lot, believe the following to be quite true.

On East Coast time, it was just before Midnight, December 12, 2000. Who was to be installed as the new resident and occupant of the Oval Office was to be decided by a five-person Junta of the nation's highest court. At least four of the ignoble five, each had their own terrible conflicts of interest yet they were not about to remove themselves from deciding the case.

Chief Justice William Rehnquist was overheard by close confidants as saying that if Albert Gore, Jr., were to be President, Rehnquist could not retire, as he had planned, yet Rehnquist was of an advanced age. Sandra Day O'Connor, having survived a bout with serious illness, likewise had been overheard by those close at hand, as saying that if Albert Gore, would becomePresident, it would be terrible for the country,would greatly interfere with her personal wishes and plans for retirement. Clarense Thomas---he of the few words, installed years before after a bitter U.S. Senate commotion, with some outspoken persons of his race angrily calling him an "Uncle Tom" bad for the black people---his wife was with a group tightly tied to the Republican Party. Justice Antonin Scalia's son was part of those presenting the ticking bomb, Bush versus Gore, to the hurry-up reckoning of the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court was in a rush because supposedly it would interfere with the process of the Elector

Justice Scalia's position, as expressed in what he wrote in the decision, was that Americans had no constitutional right to vote for President.Only the right to vote for Electors who came to be called the "Electoral College", and they, not the American voters, decide who is to be President. The fact that the Electoral Process had come to be an historical appendix, not needed or used for the survival of the body politic, was of no interest to Scalia and the other members of the Junta.

No lawyer member of the U.S. Supreme Court bar would dare confront, in writing, Scalia, with his serious conflicts of interest. He and two federal appeals judges in Chicago had previously been fellow law professors at Rockefeller's University of Chicago Law School. That is, Chicago 7th Circuit Judges Richard Posner and Frank Easterbrook. [How these two Chicago judges, one step below the high court in the District of Columbia, commit blatant judicial perjuries and perpetrate frauds upon their own Court, visit our website story, "Chief Crook Enters Microsoft Case".]

This troika, two in Chicago and one in Washington, represent while on the bench, the multi-billion dollar stock and bond portfolio of the University founded, maintained, and controlled by the Rockefellers and their role in the oil cabal. Each of the three has reportedly violated Federal law requiring that they file, under oath, each year, their annual mandatory financial disclosure report. They have never in their required annual reports disclosed what they are a part of and what they, on the bench, represent. If forced to tell the truth, how could they have continued to decide many corporation controversies, whose stock and bonds they represent, without having disqualified themselves? Like some of their purported written decisions, their annual financial disclosure reports are just another monstrous judicial perjury.

[To understand judicial perjury, study our several-part series, "Coca-Cola, CIA, and the Courts", on our website.]

In their late-night disclosed "ruling", the High Court Five made the strange statement that this decision was NOT to be used as a binding precedent, such as on lower courts, in any other voting or other case involving the Equal Protection of the Laws, a provision guaranteed to each American under the 14th Amendment. To his credit, Justice John Paul Stevens, in a blistering dissent, stated the ruling of the Five undermines public confidence in the Courts.

We were apparently the only ones, on a timely basis, that pointed out the situation seemed in many ways very like the strange election of 1876. Like Gore, Samuel Tilden handily won the nationwide popular vote. Rutherford B. Hayes and his gang had stolen the Electoral College vote by corrupting the Election Board Commission in the State of Florida whose electoral votes were among the keys to the "Electoral College". Like in 2000, the 1876 election turned on who supposedly got Florida's Electoral vote. Also, bribed or otherwise corrupted was an important Judge on a Congressional Commission set up to resolve the 1876 mess.

Strangely reprinted in the Spring of the year 2000, was Gore Vidal's book entitled simply "1876". His opus seemed to be a blueprint for what was done in respect later to the 2000 Presidential Election. [Some of Albert Gore, Jr.'s family had been overheard to grumble that their cousin, Gore Vidal, related to First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy of the Kennedy, Auchincloss, and Bovier families which Vidal apparently badmouthed, seemed to be against supporting cousin Albert.]

On Inauguration Day, 1877, apparently rightfully considering himself the duly elected President, Tilden approached the ceremonial stand where the new occupant and resident of the Oval Office was to be sworn in. But Tilden was blocked going any closer apparently by troops.Thereafter, because of the stink left from the 1876 debacle, Hayes was referred to widely as RUTHERFRAUD. [The Hayes gang had made an unholy cover up deal to block and reverse progress of blacks post-Civil War, when for a brief period some blacks held positions in some Southern State legislatures.]

In its simplest form, Albert Gore, Jr., is the duly elected President NOT INAUGURATED. We prefer to call George W. Bush as BUSHFRAUD, merely the occupant and resident of the Oval Office.

December 12, 2000, was a fateful time. Supposed Oklahoma City "lone bomber", Timothy McVeigh, had just informed the Denver trial judge in his case, that McVeigh did not wish to further challenge his conviction. And that the Judge should set the date for execution of McVeigh by lethal injection. Public statements by McVeigh could have exposed the Bush Crime Family. The months later disappearance of Chandra Levy was also related. [Visit our website story, "The Secrets of Timothy McVeigh", also our two-part series, "The Chandra Levy Affair".]

By December 12, 2000, Gore had reportedly been already advised by his economic wizards, that the U.S. was heading into a terrible financial meltdown, similar if not worse than the Great Depression of the 1930s. That is, Gore was persuaded not to further challenge what was happening and to let the U.S. Supreme Court Junta, the unholy Five, arbitrarily with serious conflicting interests of the Justices, install George W. Bush as the new occupant and resident of the Oval Office. Sidebar: Some months thereafter, Russian Judges, visiting with the U.S. Supreme Court Judges, hit the target directly, with their remark, "Whatever you think of us Russian Judges in Moscow, we do NOT install our President by our Court maneuvers the way you did recently".

So Gore let Bush, Jr., as supervised by Daddy Bush as puppet-master, slide into his chair to become another Herbert Hoover. That is, to somewhere thereafter to be condemned and despised by a virtual army of hungry, unemployed, suffering Americans. Hoover, with a background as a worldwide engineer was clever. BUSHFRAUD is not. But like Hoover, Bush is not inclined to be benevolent to fellow Americans in an economic disaster.

After December 12, 2000, in the formality when the Electoral College vote tally was to be presented to Gore in his capacity as President of the U.S. Senate, Gore showed by his body language, particularly how he held his hands palm up, that he was not going to assist in any challenge to reverse the situation.

The difference between the Great Depression and the first decade of the 21st Century is evident to sharp-eyed types. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was swept into office as a Democrat to remedy the economic suffering. He came to be, however, the greatest COUNTER-REVOLUTIONARY in Western history. He snuffed out a gathering revolt against the Ruling Class, of which he and his family were long a part. With a new alphabet soup of Federal agencies and regulations, okayed by a rubber stamp Congress, Roosevelt opened the food warehouses and fed the needy, he set up a federal agency to slow down the massive foreclosures on private residences caused by a real estate bubble bust. FDR tried to pack the U.S. Supreme Court with a greater number of judges than previously sat on that tribunal, to outvote the hard-hearted backward thinking judges infesting the place.

But, at that time, America was not ready for a long overdue Revolution, there having been no genuine Revolution in U.S. history, unlike Europe. We had at the time a great number of Europeans who had come to America early in the 20th Century. If times got bad, they would not try to overthrow the American Republic. If cold and hungry, they were quite satisfied, nevertheless, to sleep under bridges when it rains, as long as it was in America, not Europe. [Some are finding out the hard way, that any overthrowing of the American Republic is being done because of a terrible split in the aristocracy, and not by common folk, as set forth in this series.]

The understanding and positions of our elders in the 1930s is not the mindset nowadays.

Then came the mid-term elections of 2002. Usually and historically, the White House party loses many seats in the American parliament, the Congress. [Unlike British parliamentary procedures, America has no vote of confidence to quickly remove Presidents, instead the cumbersome impeachment process.] One faction of the American aristocracy believes fascism is the only answer to a growing U.S. population. Simply put, they believe we now have too many people to be guranteeing to each of them, rights, privileges, and immunities as provided under the Bill of Rights With terrible bribery and election and judicial fraud, they have installed, as their would-be dictator, George W. Bush, pro-British as we have demonstrated. Savvy Europeans dismiss him as someone "who pisses on his own shoes", to quote some of them, a misfit, an incompetent, a mere puppet for Daddy Bush and his sinister gang in the secret political police, the American CIA.

To step by step cancel the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, this faction, having prior knowledge, allowed, permitted, condoned, and acquiesced in the events of 9-11. One explanation of Black Tuesday, circulating in the monopoly press, however, is that Bush was not obligated to react that morning of September 11, 2001, because the super-secret National Reconnaissance Office, NRO, had already scheduled for the same morning a test of how the government should handle a situation, wherein terrorists would slam a hi-jacked airplane into major landmark buildings, like the World Trade Center. Some apologists offer that explanation for why there was on that morning a military stand-down, and why Bush continued to talk to school kids about goats after having been informed that two planes each crashed into the World Trade Center towers in lower Manhattan. That is, as if Bush thought it was only a "test" by the NRO.

Contradicting the story that some that morning thought it was only a "test", was that Bush in the summer of 2001, had told foreign diplomats that the U.S. will go to war against Afghanistan in October, 2001. It was the oil pipeline, stupid!

Apparently opposing a Fascist-like solution to any American problems have been the Jacob Schiff family. For the benefit of the Czarist regime in Russia, they arranged, financed, and built the Trans-Siberian Railroad, a great wonder in its day. By giving great quantities of gold to Leon Trotsky while he was visiting the U.S.., the Schiff family financed the changing of the possibly backward Czarina (who was heavily pro-German as from her background) and Czar Nicholas 2nd. Some called what happened the Russian Revolution of 1917.

Congressional Committee documents compiled about 1976, show the true ownership of the Federal Reserve which includes the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, the Warburgs, and the Jacob Schiff Family(part of a then New York-based publishing empire), among others.

Albert Gore, Jr.'s daughter Karenna Gore, is married to Andrew Schiff, great gandson of the Schiff Family. Some narrow-minded sorts like to think only in terms of conspiracy theories. As if they could point to one racial, religious, or ethnic group and blame all the troubles of the planet on them. For example, one book blames all the world's problems on the Jesuits and the Vatican, "Vatican Assassins", by Eric Jon Phelps. The ultra-right wing, for religious and other reasons, wants to blame all the troubles of planet Earth on a "Jewish Conspiracy". They point to the great number of mass media types with Jewish surnames. Not pointed out is that these are MANAGERS not owners and the owners being non-Jewish, using Jews as a front to take the heat which is historically typical.

Others in the ultra right point to "Jewish bankers" meaning the Rothschilds who are not followers of Judaism and are the official bankers and transactors of the Vatican. Also, the term means to some, the investment and bond houses of Wall Street. Those with the German Jewish names still running the same have not been actual practicing Jews for several generations, having converted to other religions three generations ago and more. See the documented study, "The New Crowd: The Changing of the Jewish Guard on Wall Street", by Judith Ramsey Ehrlich and Barry J. Rehfeld, 1989, Little, Brown & Co., Boston.

An authority on bank ownership, Martin Mayer has a lot of details in his book "The Bankers", Mass Market Paperback, December, 1975. He says he found only one bank in the whole United States that had as much as a vice-president, a Jew. By bank, he meant a bank-bank, a bank house building. For example, the major bank houses downtown Chicago make a practice as follows, as known to astute observers: they will hire blacks and latinos, but generally only permit them to be vault guards or money counter tellers.. Someone who by name is plainly a Jew is generally totally unacceptable.

The ultra-right dismisses Jacob Schiff as merely a "Communist Jew", without realizing that a faction in the aristocracy used the Hegelian method, financing and creating supposed opponents, antithesis, to later form a synthesis. During the years when the Moscow government was considered "the enemy", war-mongers among the ultra rich used this to tax common Americans to further enrich the war-creators and their war production facilities. The late Antony Sutton, in several well-documented books, points out how the American big business financed the Soviets and supplied them with American high technology. [Clicking on books, on Amazon.com, you can see a long list of Sutton's books.]

The supposed top level of the Democrat Party were ORDERED not to make a major issue of the growing unemployment and the poor economy. Why? So the G.O.P. could appear to grab an armlock on all the levers of power in the United States. As a consequence, the Grand Old Public-Enemy won control of both houses of Congress and has a supposed hammer-lock on the Central government and some State governors. [Did they hedge their bets by the apparent sabotage airplane murder of U.S. Senator Paul Wellstone (D., Minn.) with Senator Edward Kennnedy (D., Mass.) to have been on the death-warrant plane as well but Teddy having somehow changed his mind?]

Financial experts, off the record, predict a real estate bubble bust soon, that would hurt ordinary Americans even moreso than their private pension funds being bust because of stock market reverses. Some political strartegists think along the lines of military planners. Now steered into taking over total control of the central government, the G.O.P. has been led into a trap. They face being blamed, despised, and ridiculed for the increasing anguish of ordinary Americans trying to deal with an impending financial meltdo

wn. In its simplest terms, Black Tuesday was a bloody dirty trick, for the moment, to delay and sidestep dealing with the expected Crash.

In plain terms, Bushfraud, perceived to be a latter day Herbert Hoover, will be widely blamed for either being unable and/or unwilling to propose or institute any effective remedy to the economic disaster. He may push a tax cut, yet because of declining tax collections in a recession, there is no money for the same. And issuing a flood of U.S. Treasury securities to make a tax cut possible will cause gold to skyrocket, a temporary inflating to come, followed by a devastating decline in value of homes and properties, the dreaded DEFLATION.

Some close to the matters contend this trap sprung on Bush and the G.O.P. cannot be corrected. Some go so far as to contend, from close at hand sources, that the trap was ordered by the Schiff family, part of the faction in the aristocracy that opposes scrapping the Bill of Rights and is against the Fascist-like plans of the Bush Crime Family, to rule this continent with an iron fist. That is, to Overthrow the American Republic.

Can Bush and his gang get out of the trap?

Iran strikes back at "Satanic Bush" as US prepares for war

News Australia.to – May 17, 2008

Think of the Gulf of Tonkin Incident which prompted the first large-scale involvement of U.S. armed forces in Vietnam when you read this article. Congress granted approval for Lyndon B Johnson to escalate the war in Vietnam.

Presstv.ir carried a story today that shows that Iran is fully aware of the preparations the US and Israel are making. Under the heading "Iran strikes back at Satanic Bush" the Iranians wrote A top Iranian cleric urges countries to 'be more considerate of nations', hammering the US president as undeserving of any expectations.

"Iran is always delighted to hear good news from any Muslim country, but always objects when Zionism imposes hardships upon others," said Tehran's interim Friday prayers leader Ayatollah Mohammad Imami-Kashani.

"Our message and our genial approach to all countries but the Zionist regime has infuriated the Bush administration to such an extent that they now rely on such petty anti-Iran remarks," he continued.

"Bush is a satanic person, and we have no expectations of him... We do, however, request governments, parliaments and the officials of Muslim countries to be more considerate of nations," the senior cleric added in reference to atrocities being committed around the world.

Ayatollah Imami-Kashani concluded that Iran 'seeks nothing more than peace and stability' around the globe.

US President George W. Bush stepped up his hawkish rhetoric against the Islamic Republic on Thursday, branding Iran as 'the leading sponsor of terror' and hinted at another military action in the already volatile Middle East.

"Permitting the world's leading sponsor of terror to possess the world's deadliest weapon would be an unforgivable betrayal of future generations," Bush had preached in Israel on Thursday, describing those who seek diplomacy with Iran as 'Nazi appeasers'.

Meanwhile on the other side, In a Wednesday lecture at the Kansas State University, CIA Director Michael Hayden claimed that slaying US military forces has become the political strategy of Iran's highest governmental officials.

"It is my opinion, it is the policy of the Iranian government, approved to highest level of that government, to facilitate the killing of Americans in Iraq," maintained Hayden, just a day after the US steamed a second American aircraft carrier into the Persian Gulf.

CIA Director Michael Hayden "Just make sure there's clarity on that," the CIA director continued.

His comments come at a time when a recent CBS report indicates that the US Defense Department had ordered military commanders to develop new war plans against Tehran, a claim echoed by top American analysts.

"I believe George Bush and Dick Cheney plan to take care of Iran before they leave office," former CIA analyst Ray McGovern said in an interview published in the Charleston Gazette on Wednesday.

"There's no doubt in my mind that the United States is planning right now, as we speak, a military strike against Iran. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and almost every senior US military official has pretty much acknowledged the same," former UN weapons inspector and now anti-war commentator Scott Ritter had told Democracy Now on Monday.

The US steamed its second aircraft carrier into the Persian Gulf on Tuesday in what Washington has termed a 'reminder' of US power.

Senior US officials have been accusing the Iranian government of helping the spread of violence in Iraq without providing any concrete proof.

Pundits, however, say recent 'Washington hype' is a reminder of US preparations made prior to the Iraq war and signal efforts to prepare the public for a war on Tehran while shifting the blame of US failures in Iraq onto others."

The Iranian government ( political and religious ) on Presstv.ir uses the word "Pundits" to provide the message for its people" Here are some examples.

"While the US has failed to provide any concrete evidence in support of its various accusations against Iran, pundits believe Bush is now trying to encourage the media to find a justification of its own to allow him to strike yet another oil-rich country before leaving office."

"Pundits say the US president's go-to-war rhetoric has exposed his flagrant disregard for concrete evidence and expert opinion."

"Pundits, however, say recent 'Washington hype' is a reminder of US preparations made prior to the Iraq war and signal efforts to prepare the public for a war on Tehran while shifting the blame of US failures in Iraq onto others."

As a direct message to the USA and Israel, on Thursday, Iran's Defense Minister said Israel "was too weak to launch an attack on Iran and the Islamic Republic was ready to repel any military invasion."

Voice of the White House May 15, 2008
TBR News.org – May 15, 2008

“The only thing spectacular now is the spectacular stupidity being exhibited by a White House enraged and frightened that the Republicans will be utterly crushed in November. This is evident in their lashing out at Obama, accusing him of encouraging terrorism which is, of course, sheer nonsense. It is the vicious and brutal Bush administration that has harassed Muslims wherever and whenever they find them, to torture them and in the end, wipe out whole neighborhoods in Iraq , including women and children. These deliberate acts, coupled with the rank favoritism and reeking corruption (which is not to believe in its magnitude) we see hints of on a daily basis, have made enemies that this country does not need. Long after the Bush people have fled the jurisdiction or hanged themselves in the front hall closet with a jump rope, the rage that the vicious Bush has fathered;, deliberately, will certainly haunt the rest of us for years to come. It is very funny to watch McCain doing his Bush imitation and then watch the far more intelligent and civilized Obama slice and dice them in public. I predict that if Obama becomes the Democrat candidate and gets into a debate with McCain, the latter will blow what little cool he still has as Alzheimer’s devours him and start shouting at Obama or, even better, to rush at him and try to punch him out. Given his increasing mental disorientation, McCain would probably forget half the way to the podium what he was doing and just stand there and wet himself.”

JEWS CONTROL AMERICA. This is because the Jews own the Federal Reserve Bank. It’s not “federal” at all. It’s privately owned. By Jews!

The money that President George Bush borrows in the billions of $$$ at interest comes from the Jewish money lenders of the Federal Reserve Bank. They look so very professional & so legit don’t they? But don’t fall for it for they are bandits. For how does President George Bush pay for these loans at Jewish high interest hmm? By taxing American Gentiles up the gazoo!

Presidential candidate Ron Paul says that we don’t have to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank but can print our own $$$ at no interest. Ron Paul says that this is our Constitutional right. But Jews don’t care about our Constitutional rights. All that Jews care about is what serves their own interests.

‘E PLURIBUS UNUM’ AND THE JEWS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK

‘ONE OUT OF MANY’ is what the Federal Reserve Jew Frederic Mishkin’s recently published book, The Next Great Globalization, is all about.

The book’s theme is how poor countries like Mexico can share in the wealth of America and the European Union. Mishkin’s aim is the undermining of national pride, identity, and the blurring of national distinctions by nations having a shared monetary system and shared global values.

The Jew Mishkin is out to destroy all national ideologies, foremostly Christianity, which would oppose his vision of a world whose finances are controlled by Jews. In Mishkin’s purview is the planned North American Union patterned after the European Union which the Rothschilds control.

The Jew-owned Federal Reserve Bank would control the North American Union comprised of America, Mexico, and Canada. The “Amero” has already been minted under the covert auspices of the Jew-owned Federal Reserve Bank.


CENTRAL-BANKING JEWS AND THE ROCKEFELLERS

ROTHSCHILD OIL INTERESTS centered in the Caucasus had as its only competitor, John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil in the late 1800s. In 1892, a Jew, (like his contractors), Samuel Marcus, established the Shell Oil Company as the marketing arm for the Rothschild’s Baku Oil so as to compete with Standard Oil for oil rights in the Suez Canal.

In 1902, Marcus’ enterprise called itself the Royal Dutch/Shell Group and had weakened Standard Oil’s markets by introducing kerosene as an oil substitute. John D. Rockefeller then jumped at the offer by the Rothschilds to join the Royal Dutch/Shell Group in a worldwide oil cartel.

The Rothschilds heavily financed John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil by helping him in 1911 to establish prominence of his Chase Manhattan Bank of NY through acquiring the huge Equitable Trust. Chase Manhattan Bank is now one of the co-owners of the Rothschild-controlled Federal Reserve Bank.
