Iran War: What Is AIPAC Planning?

NRA Official Claims Obama Plans to Outlaw All Guns During His Second Term

A top NRA official has gone on the record with his belief that if Obama is elected for a second term he plans to effectively end the 2nd amendment with an all out ban on guns.

NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre said that Obama’s 1st term low key approach on gun rights was a conspiracy to ensure reelection for a second term where he plans a full destruction of Americans 2nd amendment rights.

Anonymous Vows ‘Crusade’ Against Israel

Online collective Anonymous has pledged a “crusade” against Israel. Claiming the country is committing “crimes against humanity” and gearing for “nuclear holocaust”, the group promised a campaign against the Israeli government.

In their statement issued early on Friday, Anonymous accused Israeli leaders of creating false democracy, serving the interests of a “select few” while “trampling the liberties of the masses.”

The group said that Israel manipulates public opinion with a combination of “media deception” and “political bribery”.

Top Republican at CPAC: Jeb Bush could emerge as nominee at a brokered convention

Al Cardenas, head of the American Conservative Union, has said that Republican turmoil might lead to a brokered convention in which Jeb Bush, former Florida governor, would emerge as a “possible alternative” party nominee.

Mr Cardenas, who is running this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), a gathering in Washington of some 10,000 conservatives, told MailOnline that it was not certain that one of the four current Republican candidates would emerge victorious.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Memo to Al Cardenas: sir, have you gone absolutely foaming at the mouth, barking mad?!?

There is no authentic appetite, on the part of the American people, for a "brokered convention", and touting yet another Bush for the highest office in the land, will certain hand the election back to Obama.

If that is what the Republican party wants to do at the end the day, that is just fine; however, I would strongly caution you that voters remember Jeb's older brother having lied the American people into war, and having passed some of the most draconian, anti-Constitutional legislation in the history of this country.

The Doomsday Machine -- Triple Threat to Humanity

Andrew McKillop
Activist Post

1950s Vanity Tech

In our book published by Palgrave Macmillan, my co-author Martin Cohen (author of Mind Games and Philosophy for Dummies) and myself line up the reasons why we say The Doomsday Machine of nuclear power has grown ever more dangerous.

We explain why and how it spiraled out from early military origins to become an over-rated, dangerous and expensive source of electricity, mostly in the developed countries.

And, now, in its last format it has morphed into a threat to global security, starting with the world's financial and economic security, and the risks of nuclear proliferation, but also including the biggest, most vast Dirty Bombs imaginable, stationed close to dozens of the world's major cities...

Social Issues Retake U.S. Politics, 2012 Elections

All of a sudden, abortion, contraception and gay marriage are at the center of American political discourse, with the struggling – though improving – economy pushed to the background.

Social issues don't typically dominate the discussion in shaky economies. But they do raise emotions important to factors like voter turnout. And they can be key tools for political candidates clamoring for attention, campaign cash or just a change of subject in an election year.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

The politicians are happy as hell to see these issues come up, and manipulate them in such a way that they overshadow really critical issues such as these illegal and immoral wars without end, the Federal Reserve, and the Federal Deficit.

It is those issues which should be driving the conversation about this next election.

And as to this allegedly "improving" economy, for whom it it actually improving?!? Not for people I know, that is a certainly.

The very simple questions people need to ask this year are, "Am I better off than I was 4 years ago?!? Do I have more financial security for myself and my family than I did 4 years ago?!?"

For most people I know, the answer will be a resounding "ABSOLUTELY NOT" And my problem is, I know Obama cannot even begin to fix this, nor can the alleged frontrunners in the Republican party.

The only person, in my perception, who possibly could, is Ron Paul, but he will not be allowed by the Republicans any where near the nomination.

But the longer he stays in the race, and gets himself heard, the more the American people are hearing a conversation about the issues which really matter most critically to the future of this country.

Greek cabinet approves austerity deal amid resignations, general strike

Greece’s cabinet Saturday approved tough austerity measures demanded by EU and IMF creditors after the prime minister warned that a failed debt deal and default would spark “uncontrolled chaos”.

The coalition government, hit by defections on Friday, approved the belt-tightening measures on a day that saw renewed street clashes between protesters and police and the start of a two-day general strike.

Prime Minister Lucas Papademos had issued a stern warning after six members of his coalition government had resigned in protest at the new cuts.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

I wouldn't bet against the Greek government falling, and with it, this austerity deal with the EU and IMF.

When and if that happens, the Euro itself may well crumble, and US financial institution exposure will roil American financial markets as well.

These are strange times for those of us who follow the debate about a possible war with Iran. It is clear that the Israeli government and its neoconservative camp followers here in the United States are increasing pressure on President Obama to either attack Iran or let Israel do it (in which case, we would be forced to join in). But the idea of another Middle East war is so outlandish that it seems inconceivable it could actually occur.

The allegation was immediately rebuffed by a senior British diplomat, who also described claims by the Argentinians that military bases on the island could be used to launch attacks on South America as "absurd".

The State Has Declared War On The American People

The State Has Declared War On The American People

U.S. citizens are now the primary target of the war on terror
Paul Joseph Watson

Friday, February 10, 2012
With the announcement that 30,000 drones are expected to fill American skies within ten years, the U.S. government has officially declared war on the American people, turning to technology normally used to hunt down insurgents abroad as the whole arsenal of the war on terror is re-focused domestically.

“The Federation Aviation Administration said up to 30,000 drones could be in airspace shared with airliners carrying passengers,” reports UPI.
Once signed by president Obama, the FAA Reauthorization Act allows for the FAA to permit the use of drones and develop regulations for testing and licensing by 2015.

Way out for Israel

Way out for Israel
This is in response to Seif A. Somalya’s letter, “Way out for Iran,” published on Feb. 4. It is amazing to read the wishful list of tasks outlined as the way out for Iran.

As per the writer, this proposed solution will not only avert the brewing conflict between West and Iran but also bring peace and prosperity to the entire region.

Now to the solution as proposed by Seif: Iran shall recognize Israel within the secured boundaries of pre-1967 war and shall also unequivocally accept the two-state solution. May we know whether Israel itself really believes in the two-state solution? Does Israel itself believe in the pre-1967 war boundaries? Arabs have offered, not once but several times, to recognize Israel in its pre-1967 boundaries. We all know what happened to all these proposals - rejected by Israel on one pretext or the other. I am of the opinion that if you offer to recognize Israel in its present day boundaries, it will find a way to get away and keep encroaching the Arab lands.

It’s an election year in the US and Israel may be willing to return in kind the support it got from Obama administration during last four years. An attack on Iran is the best gift for Obama to jack his declining popularity. Remember Bush also used Iraq invasion to win the second term

He argues that a person who inspires others to commit violent acts is guilty of no violent act at all because the inciter is doing no more than engaging in free speech activity. The act of advocating violence is not a violent act and directly harms no one, therefore the inciter should not be held responsible for any chaos that ensues from his words. It is the fools who listen to and carry out the inciter’s wishes who should be held responsible. They were completely free to reject the inciter’s evil suggestions to loot or destroy, but instead voluntarily chose to do evil.

It was a devious, meticulously calculated plot to sink the United States and the world to its knees, to bring about the long planned new world order dreamt about by the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers.

It wasn’t rocket science to figure out. All you had to do was look at the facts of the crisis and then examine the recourse taken by the Federal Reserve. Our best and brightest financial minds took a 180 away from the best option to stimulate the economy, choosing instead to bypass the taxpayer, retail and manufacturing, and going right to the crooks that created the disaster in the first place.

Why NDP (Canada's official opposition party) silence on Palestine?

Palestine can illustrate the capacity of a politician to take a principled position and also the ability for grassroots activism to force politicians to act.

NDP leadership contender Thomas Mulcair, actively campaigning to move the NDP to the right, stated in 2008, "I am an ardent supporter of Israel in all situations and in all circumstances." That statement was made as the Israeli siege on Gaza continued, as construction on the Israeli apartheid wall moved forward unabated in the West Bank (despite being condemned as illegal by the International Court of Justice), and as thousands of Palestinian political prisoners remained locked away in Israeli jails.

Mulcair's comments are a clear attack on Palestinian human rights, providing support for Israeli war crimes committed against the Palestinian people. Now is the time to hold Mulcair accountable for these ruthless words on Palestine.

In stating unconditional support for Israel, Muclair aligns with right-wing, neo-colonial efforts to erase the Palestinian struggle from the map, in line with recent statements by U.S. Republican politician Newt Gingrich that "Palestinians are an invented people."

The insiders are selling heavily

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (MarketWatch) — Corporate insiders are now selling their companies’ stock at a rate not seen since late last July.

That’s a scary parallel indeed, since that late-July spike in selling came just days before one of the more painful two-week periods in the stock market in years.

In early August, as you may recall, the U.S. government lost its triple-A credit rating, and the bottom dropped out of the stock market. Between the last week of July and the second week of August, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 2,000 points.

To be sure, heavy insider selling doesn’t always lead to this much market weakness, or this immediately. And there were a lot of other things going on last summer that aren’t present today.

Still, on the theory that corporate insiders — officers, directors and largest shareholders — know more about their firms’ prospects than do the rest of us, it can’t be good news that they are selling at such a heavy pace.

The Mystery of Quantitive Easing

There is a mystery about the way Q.E. works. The Bank of England does not just give the cash away to financial institutions, but exchanges it for assets. We are told that this is not the Bank of England saving the bankers from their mistakes by buying up toxic assets, but rather that the assets are gilts.

I do not understand this at all. Why would banks want to cash in gilts? Gilts are already perhaps the most liquid asset you can hold, other than cash, in the classic definition of liquidity that they can be easily sold without much affecting their value. On top of which, these same financial institutions are actually still buying bonds from the Bank of England on a regular basis, which would make the process pointlessly circular. And the current Bank of England bonds the banks are buying pay historically low rates, almost certainly lower than any gilts they are exchanging under Q.E.. Why would they do that?

The only sense I can see is that the Bank of England is giving cash in return for junk, and the gilts line is a cover. Any genuine official statistics on exactly what the Bank of England has bought up under Q.E.anywhere?

Israel teams with terror group to kill Iran’s nuclear scientists, U.S. officials admit

Deadly attacks on Iranian nuclear scientists are being carried out by an Iranian dissident group that is financed, trained and armed by Israel’s secret service, U.S. officials tell NBC News, confirming charges leveled by Iran’s leaders. The group, the People’s Mujahedin of Iran, has long been designated as a terrorist group by the United States, accused of killing American servicemen and contractors in the 1970s and supporting the takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran before breaking with the Iranian mullahs in 1980.

Syria Activists In Photos: Peaceful Protestors or Armed Terrorists?

Western media has been running repeated footage of claiming to show Syria engaging in a brutal crackdown on innocent civilian protestors? These photos, videos and international observers tell a different story. You decide.

Obama’s Dictator Dreams: America’s Nightmare

Does Obama want to become America’s dictator? It seems so. In his recent Disaster of the Disunion speech, which apparently was written by Bush’s speechwriter at the Council on Foreign relations, there is an obscure reference to more power for Obama.

Satire: Ask Me About My Osama-Bin-Laden-Is-A-Mormon Theory

In the wake of yesterdays discovery that the FBI has moved to classify the purchase of bulk food for long term storage as a terrorist indicator, historians and journalists everywhere are scrambling to re-write history, so-to-speak, in an attempt to keep the record accurate.

Using the circular logic of the FBI, much akin to the associative property in algebra where the fact that A+B=C certainly means that C+B=A, it is now possible for your average American to now understand why Osama Bin Laden has been mistakenly identified as an Islamic terrorist when he was is in fact a Mormon terrorist all along.

Act Up Against ACTA

ACTA’s worse than SOPA and PIPA. Net Neutrality and free expression are threatened. In October 2007, negotiations began secretly.

At issue is establishing a new intellectual property enforcement treaty – the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA). If adopted, fundamental freedoms will be lost. Privatized online censorship will rule. Internet actors will be copyright enforcers. Offenders will face harsh criminal sanctions.

Transparency’s entirely absent. So is major media coverage explaining an issue demanding headlines.

IDF submarine fleet bans dual citizenship

Candidates for prestigious unit now required to renounce foreign citizenship

ed note–readers of this website will recognize immedaitely the relevance to this story and therefore any commentary about it is more than likely superfluous, but nevertheless there are 2 items wortth mentioning here for newcomers–

1) CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE how Jewish groups would be pissing their pants if a similar demand were made in the US or anywhere else? The noise would be ear-splitting.

2) Israel has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to worry about when it comes to Jews being ‘disloyal’ to Israel in favor of another country. As they have demonstrated TIME AND FREAKING TIME AGAIN they chose Israel 1st, 2nd, 3rd and everything after that when forced to take sides.

US Invading Syria by Proxy

After world opinion categorically denied Wall Street, London, and it’s NATO forces a replay in Syria of the destruction and pillaging of Libya, with Russia and China leading opposition to a planned escalation and overt NATO military intervention, the corporate-financier media led by CNN, and in particular CIA-asset Anderson Cooper, has conducted a non-stop propaganda campaign based entirely on “activist” say so centered around the Syrian city of Homs. Journalistic integrity and neutrality have been shamelessly abandoned, evident by CNN headlines reading, “Ruthless Assad rides wave of slaughter.”

First Circuit Rhode Island Judge John J. McConnell halts foreclosures while Kelly Ayotte & NH GOP and Judges give banks open season on innocent homeowners.


The wonders never cease do they? For example, let's wonder why Rhode Island's Federal Judge John J. McConnell granted a moratorium on foreclosures (involving 60+ foreclosures) pursuant to Fryzel v. MERS (CA 10-352-M), Cosajay v. MERS (CA No. 10-442-M) while right next door in NH the banks have a field day.

At the link below there is a video with two homeowners and Pawtucket Counsel George Babcock.

Query, could it have anything to do with Senator Kelly Ayotte's primary campaign financiers, including Goldman, Sachs and Bank of America? Here's this morning's email to the shady lawyers and Nashua PD:

Open letter to Judge McConnell regarding Mortgage Fraud, other NH government malfeasance.

Independent Report Contradicts Western Portrait of Syria

Arab League Report Shows that Syria Has Been Mischaracterized

While the Western media act like the Syrian government is wantonly and indiscriminately killing its own people without provocation, an independent investigation has found a different reality on the ground.

Specifically, over 160 monitors from the Arab League – comprised of both allies and mortal enemies of Syria – toured Syria and published a report on January 27th showing that the situation has been mischaracterized.

Initially, the report noted general cooperation by the Syrian government.

U.S. believes Israel sees Iran nuclear problem 'too narrowly'

A New York Times report says Obama administration see approach of Defense Minister Ehud Barak for stopping the Iranian program as 'too narrow.'

Podcast: New York Times Disgusting Attack on Constitution

Joe Joseph, speaking during an emotionally charged Intel Hub News Brief Podcast, outlined this disgusting attack on the very foundation of this country and the ridiculous examples and excuses used to demonize the Constitution.

In the hit piece, the author actually claims that the US Constitution guarantees “relatively few rights.

These absurd statements and type of thinking actually make sense coming from the New York Times, especially when you consider their devout worship of globalization and any war the military industrial complex wishes to wage.

Washington set to become seventh state to approve gay marriage

The action comes a day after a federal appeals court declared California's ban on gay marriage unconstitutional, saying it was a violation of the civil rights of gay and lesbian couples.

The Washington House passed the bill on a 55-43 vote. The state Senate approved the measure last week and Democratic Governor Chris Gregoire is expected to sign the measure into law next week.

However, gay couples can't begin walking down the aisle just yet.
