Weekend Edition May 28, 2012 Coast Insider Audio New World Order Agenda: On Sunday night's program, George Knapp was joined by investigative journalist, Jim Marrs, who appeared for the full four hours and discussed his research into the elite's agenda for enslaving the human race. He dismissed concerns over being derisively labeled a "conspiracy theorist," because, in hindsight, "it turns out that everything, generally, that I have presented has always proved to be true." On a grand scale, Marrs contended that "off the shelf" technology exists to feed, house, and medically treat everyone on the planet, but it is not put to use because, "somewhere, ...

Today, let’s take a look at the “logic” of the American Empire and what you can expect in the year(s) ahead... regardless of whether a donkey or an elephant squats in the Oval Office come Jan. 20, 2013. “Great empires, such as the Roman and British, were extractive,” the economist Paul Craig Roberts observed recently. “The empires succeeded, because the value of the resources and wealth extracted from conquered lands exceeded the value of conquest and governance.” But unlike empires of the past, the American Empire has a perverse logic all its own. “America’s wars are very expensive,” says Roberts, stating the obvious. “Bush and ...

Insinuation as War Propaganda By Anthony Gregory | The Independent Institute | February 23, 2012 In 2002 and early 2003, the Bush administration made its case for war with Iraq. There were assertions given about Saddam’s maintenance of weapons of mass destruction and ties to al-Qaeda. What was never said explicitly, however, was that Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11. Yet by late 2003, seventy percent of polled Americans thought Saddam Hussein was personally behind 9/11. Bush’s Republican voters were especially convinced of this. Yet Bush and his officials never said this. And after the multiple disasters of the Iraq war began to present themselves with great clarity, the Bush ...

Netanyahu Blames Iran for Syria Deaths Israeli PM's First Major Comments on Syria Make it All About Iran by Jason Ditz, May 27, 2012 Print This | Share This Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has released his first significant statement of the ongoing Syrian civil war in over a year, addressing the “appalling” deaths in the town of Houla, where at least 108 were killed Friday. But while most of the comments from the international community were self-serving attempts to condemn either the Assad regime or the rebels, Netanyahu appears chiefly interested in making things about Iran, so in his statement he condemned Iran and Hezbollah for the massacre, saying that the ...
Does the truth really matter?

We live in a world where falsehoods are readily accepted and believed as truth by the majority of the people. To them, it is their truth, even though it is nothing but lies. However, they accept it as truth in every way, so much so that they would think you are insane to tell them it is not the truth. To people like this it is their truth and they will not be swayed it is anything other than the truth. To these people the truth does not matter, only their perception of the truth. Their perception of truth creates their reality. For them, it is their truth. Keeping that in mind it may not matter what the real truth is if you can convince enough people that your version is the truth. For ...

How to Fix the Fed: Dismiss Dimon, Boot the Bankers, and Can the Corporations More and more people are calling for Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, to resign from the Board of the New York Federal Reserve. His latest scandal, combined with Dimon's hypocrisy and relentless self-promotion, make him an obvious target. But Dimon isn't alone. Bankers dominate the Fed at the regional and national levels, and most of the other outside seats are held by executives from large corporations. (Remember Herman Cain?) Should Dimon resign? They all should. The Board Member With No Name The scary thing is that Dimon may not be the Fed's most inappropriate board member. That honor may ...

MEMORIAL DAY Memorial Day is their day, isn't it? It is supposed to be the day a grateful nation pauses to quietly thank the more than one million men and women who have died in military service to their country since the Revolutionary War. Or is it the day the beach resorts kick into high gear for the summer season, the day the strand is covered by fish-belly white people basting themselves in coconut oil, the day the off-season rates end and the weekend you can't get in a seaside seafood restaurant with anything less than a one hour wait. Or is is one of the biggest shopping center sales days of the year, a day when hunting for a parking space is the prime sport for the ...

The Pastor’s leper colony-esque proposal came in response to the president’s endorsement of same-sex marriage, which he said “anybody with any sense” would be against. Worley explained ...
