The pogroms had been previously arranged via social networks. They took place with the use of the ...

The Large Families that rule the world 18.10.2011 The Large Families that rule the world. 45641.jpegSome people have started realizing that there are large financial groups that dominate the world. Forget the political intrigues, conflicts, revolutions and wars. It is not pure chance. Everything has been planned for a long time. Some call it "conspiracy theories" or New World Order. Anyway, the key to understanding the current political and economic events is a restricted core of families who have accumulated more wealth and power. We are speaking of 6, 8 or maybe 12 families who truly dominate the world. Know that it is a mystery difficult to unravel. We will not be far from ...

The fact that both of the following things took place in the middle of the full fever of OWS, when everyone is supposedly trying to placate anti-banker sentiment and Obama and the DCCC are supposedly ...

The Truth Is Going Global A chance encounter with a night clerk in Paris offers insight into the power of truth and the World Wide Web. Amidst the endless flood of propaganda ("there is no recession, Europe is about to fix all its problems in one fell swoop, a new Bull market is underway," etc.) a trend of long-term importance is emerging: the truth is going global. By the "truth" I refer not to some eternal truth, but to an understanding that the financial model presented by the Status Quo as "reality" is in fact an illusion that serves the interests of those controlling massive concentrations of wealth and political power. Simply put, the present-day ...

Wall Street's second occupation, by police The Wall Street Occupiers are under constant police surveillance, acting as a metaphor for post 9/11 America. Tom Engelhardt Last Modified: 23 Oct 2011 10:18 The New York police force has been faced with $1.9m in extra costs as a result of the protests [GALLO/GETTY] These last weeks, there have been two "occupations" in lower Manhattan, one of which has been getting almost all the coverage - that of the demonstrators camping out in Zuccotti Park. The other, in the shadows, has been hardly less massive, sustained, or in its own way impressive - the police occupation of the Wall Street area. On a recent visit to the park, I found the ...

About that Iraq withdrawal By Glenn Greenwald obama iraq (Credit: Reuters) (updated below – Update II – Update III [Sat.]) President Obama announced today that all U.S. troops will be withdrawn from Iraq by the end of the year, and this announcement is being seized upon exactly the way you would predict: by the Right to argue that Obama is a weak, appeasing Chamberlain and by Democrats to hail his greatness for keeping his promise and (yet again) Ending the War. It’s obviously a good thing that these troops are leaving Iraq, but let’s note three clear facts before either of these absurd narratives ossify: First, the troop withdrawal is required by an agreement which ...

Conservatives and American Empire by Tim Kelly, October 21, 2011 American conservatives who claim to value liberty and limited government but continue to take pride in the country’s bloated military establishment would do well to remember Randolph Bourne’s pithy declaration “war is the health of the state.” Conservatives will argue that the basic function of the state is to defend the country against foreign invasion or attack; therefore, allowing the government to make provisions for such exigent circumstances is necessary in a hostile world. The problem with this argument is that not since the War of 1812 has the U.S. military been deployed to defend the country ...

. See link for full article: The Liberty League and The 1930s were filled with seething angerFather Charles Coughlin, the Rush Limbaugh of his time, used anti-communist and socialist rhetoric to convince millions of Americans that the model used in Nazi Germany was better than FDR’s New Deal policies. This pushed Roosevelt further to the left against big business and toward more socialist programs to insure getting the votes of the poor. These were bleak days in our country’s history. General Smedley Butler revealed a plot to overthrow the Roosevelt administration and replace it with a fascist dictatorship. The country roiled with furious rage. In 1932, approximately 80 years ...

It's not your Money:The truth about Social Security By Robert Greenslade Published 12. 14. 02 at 18:19 Sierra Time Members of both political parties have been extremely adept in convincing the American people that Social Security is a legitimate retirement program. Workers have been told that the payroll deductions from their wages are "contributions" which are matched by their employer and pooled in a special "trust fund." In reality, Social Security is nothing but a tax and welfare scheme disguised as a retirement program. In addition, there is no "retirement trust fund" because these so-called "contributions" are actually additional income ...

Eric Cantor's Speech On Income Inequality Canceled After University Opens It To The Public [UPDATE] Eric Cantor Submit this story House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) has canceled a speech he planned to give at the University of Pennsylvania on income inequality, due to the fact that many people who currently earn unequal incomes decided to attend. Because who knows? The subject matter may have been of particular interest to them, or something? Jake Sherman reports for Politico: The Virginia Republican's speech was preempted by protests from liberal groups and unions, who were set to start demonstrating well before the scheduled 4:30 p,m, start time of Cantor's address. ...

Bank of America Is Pulling the Scam Which Banks Have Pulled for Decades Professor of economics and law – and the senior S&L prosecutor who put more than 1,000 top executives in jail for fraud (Bill Black) writes today: Lewis and his successor, Brian Moynihan, have destroyed nearly one-half trillion dollars in BAC shareholder value [through control fraud]. (See my prior post on the “Divine Right of Bank Profits…”) BAC continues to deteriorate and the credit rating agencies have been downgrading it because of its bad assets, particularly its derivatives. BAC’s answer is to “transfer” the bad derivatives to the insured bank – transforming (ala ...

FRC Prays For The Collapse, Conversion Of Occupy Wall Street Submitted by Brian Tashman on October 19, 2011 - 5:25pm Last week the Family Research Council prayed that God would hinder the Occupy Wall Street movement and “prevent these radical organizers from stirring revolution and distracting voters from the elections and keeping watch on our elected leaders,” but today they have ratcheted up the rhetoric against the protest movement. In today’s prayer alert, the FRC vehemently attacked the protesters and asked God to “quell the anger of this sad collage of people” and make the protests “backfire.” While many faith leaders have joined the protests, the ...

To Be With the 99%, President Obama Must Fire Tim Geithner Posted: 10/20/11 12:41 PM ET In my last piece, I talked about how Tim Geithner's job over the past five years has been to (a) print money, (b) give it to rich friends, and (c) deny everyone else legal and financial rights. This shows up everywhere, from the 0% you get on your savings account versus the insider information the rich get, to your lack of access to the Fed discount window. It's a symptom of bought government, which I try to expose on our show every day. (You can help by signing our petition at GetMoneyOut.com. ) I find it laughable to hear President Obama's spokesperson talking about how his campaign ...

Rolling Stone By Matt Taibbi I've been down to "Occupy Wall Street" twice now, and I love it. The protests building at Liberty Square and spreading over Lower Manhattan are a great thing, the logical answer to the Tea Party and a long-overdue middle finger to the financial elite. The protesters picked the right target and, through their refusal to disband after just one day, the right tactic, showing the public at large that the movement against Wall Street has stamina, resolve and growing ...

Does Obama understand what's been unleashed? In response to an alleged assassination plot, Washington plans to impose even tougher sanctions on Iran. R A week after news of an alleged Iranian assassination plot in Washington rocked the international scene, public details remain scant. The Obama administration - including the president himself - has spoken with unequivocal certitude regarding the Iranian government’s intentions and involvement. But until he uses the same level of candour to publicly disclose detailed evidence, we will not know anything beyond allegations. Pundits will continue speculating with whodunnit analysis that constructs an incomplete puzzle, but engaging in ...

You Won't Believe This Quote From Wall Street's #1 Lobbyist Source - Truth Out Steve Bartlett opened his mouth. A former Congress-critter who was promoted to be Wall Street's top Washington lobbyist, he is a perfect symbol of the infuriating corrupt coziness between financial elites and lawmakers. Yet Bartlett blithely says: "We don't see ourselves as the target of the protests." After all, he explains, Wall Street "has to be well capitalized and well financed for the economy to recover." Golly, Steve, I think we capitalized you extremely well. What part of the public's multitrillion-dollar bailout of the Street's elite did you not see? We ...
