The Window for Big Trouble Appears to be WIDE OPEN

The Christmas Spirit

As you probably know, an important editorial came out this week.

So there you have it - one of the world’s top newspapers, editorially led by chief economics commentator Martin Wolf, a top Bilderberg luminary, openly proclaiming that not only is world government the agenda, but that world government will only be achieved through dictatorial measures because the majority of the people are dead against it.

Will we still be called paranoid conspiracy theorists for warning that a system of dictatorial world government is being set up, even as one of the world’s most influential newspapers admits to the fact? Or will people finally wake up and accept that there is a globalist agenda to destroy sovereignty, any form of real democracy, and freedom itself in the pursuit of an all-powerful, self-interested, centralized, unrepresentative and dictatorial world government?

Oh, pshaw, they will say. Don’t you want peace on earth, good will toward men? C’mon.

Again, let us be clear. I very much desire all good things for our planet. I love peace, but I also love justice. I used to be young once, and naive. I remember sitting in a college classroom as we discussed the military industrial complex, and Eisenhower’s warnings on leaving office, and thinking that of course we should have corporations in full cooperation with the government. Precisely because I am a person of good will, and because I was young, I did not yet imagine what could go wrong. Well, that was a long time ago. But sadly today, many full grown Americans yet fail to imagine what could go wrong, and this despite the fact that it all already has! In spades. One thousand percent. If only they would notice.

Clinical psychopaths are the problem. Secret societies are the problem. People who lie with extreme facility are the problem. The halls of power around the world are full to bursting with these very people! They will lie and lie and lie until they get what they want. And they have nearly achieved their darkest goals: the institution of a world government from which to terrorize, oppress and rape the planet and all beings on it for their own gain.

Let me assure you. If we randomly went around the world and pulled one thousand working people off the streets, representing every country, and locked them in a room until they came up with a world government system, you would most assuredly get something workable. But the powers that be would never, ever, in a thousand years NO! submit to such a thing. Their horror at the very idea would be endless. The whole point, and the only reason they want this New World Order, is to ensure their supremacy over the whole of humanity. They want to bake it in. They alone want to design this new world order. They alone want to run it. They alone want to control it. And that is the only way they will agree it — if we do it their way. Because a true new world order, springing as it were from the working people of the world, would be just. And justice is pure anathema to the ruling class.

What are their goals? Here’s a list compiled indirectly from the work of the late Anthony C. Sutton.

1. Modify education to adjust people’s beliefs and expectations from an early age.
2. Control the money supply.
3. Use the law to enforce to advance the state agenda.
4. Manipulate both sides of politics.
5. Control the economy to allow for the concentration of wealth.
6. Rewrite history to favor the elite.
7. Control people’s thoughts through psychology.
8. Turn philanthropy into a vulgar display of wealth.
9. Control medicine.
10. Corrupt religion and encourage the occult.
11. Control the media.*
12. Appoint only the elite to positions of power.

I suggest to you that they have basically completed this checklist, with the small exception of the internet. Troublesome, that one. It might require some rough handling to get the internet under control, hmm? All those pesky people poking around in corners where they have no business, uncovering things kept secret for decades and tossing all this blood- and shit-stained dirty laundry all over the place? Do you think that goes up their asses? I guess so. It makes the time tables slip and forces them to cut corners and rush things through before all the Ts are crossed.

What percentage of Americans really understand the danger? Five percent? While many more understand we have Serious Problems, only a small percentage actually possess a mental framework of how those problems relate back to the New World Order agenda. When these busy people hear talk of peace, solving problems, working together, etc., they will want to ‘go for it’ because they are overwhelmingly normal people of good will who yet fail to imagine that this could be a giant trap.

But of course it is a trap. Setting traps is all these people know how to do. It is their core competency.

Do you want a New World Order? Fine. Let’s start here off the top of my head. No Illuminati. No Secret Societies. No dual nationals in government. No Skull and Bones. No Opus Dei. No Chabad Lubavitch. No CIA. No Mossad. No KGB. No ISI. No Al Qaeda. No Federal Reserve. No fiat money. No Goldman Sachs. No Morgan Stanley. No JP Morgan. No Deutche Bank. No Citibank. No big banks of any kind. No Title 18, Section 6 corporations. Undo every single executive order made by GW Bush. No illegal drugs. No nukes. No chemtrails. Immediate trials and prison for all the presently known criminals like Bush 41, Bush 43, Clinton, Blair, Cheney, Paulson, Olmert, Rumsfeld, et cetera ad nauseum. Open every fucking file cabinet on every fucking computer in OUR fucking government so we can find the rest and put them on trial and in prison. Pay restitution for your crimes against humanity. Where’s all the money you people stole? Fork it over. It belongs to us now.

What? You don’t like that deal? Well I guess we have no deal then. You must not be serious about peace on earth good will toward men.

Pitchforks

Greek rioters have been focused on attacking wealth and prestige: banks, cars, buildings. Did I mention banks? The situation there is pretty grim, and strangely familiar…

New Democracy made lofty promises of reform to win re-election after the Greek wildfires in 2007, but voters have only seen scandal after scandal with hundreds of millions of taxpayer euros being wasted, an increase in violent crime, and a system of law and order that makes it impossible to get justice. It is a maladministration that allows convicted parliamentarians, terrorists, rapists and murderers to go unpunished for years and decades, yet sanctions police to raid and close down Stanleybet UK in a mere seven days for daring to compete with a €7bn monopoly in which the Greek state holds a 34.4% share. It is a government that does not protect, serve or even respect its people. This is a government out for itself, and the people respond accordingly by dodging taxes, refusing to pay social insurance, polluting the environment, flouting the law, paying bribes, coveting public sector jobs, and doing what they please without punishment.

Government and media are quick to label anyone daring to take to the streets in angry protest as “far-left, self-styled anarchists”, although these youths are more likely thugs, hoodlums and bored rich kids who subscribe to the same mob mentality found at football games and wouldn’t know the definition of anarchy. And when things get out of hand or an innocent dies, the government is quick to pass on blame to subordinates – in this case, two police officers who serve it. A minister tenders resignation, but no one implements real measures or takes ultimate responsibility for the discontent and hopelessness that sparked these and other violent riots in the first place. In short, the Greek state is incapable of controlling rioters with the same corrupt policies and lax enforcement that created them.

Irish Bulletin reports further on the common thread of banking:

Torching banks? Clashes near Parliament? Attacking diplomatic vehicles? Yesterday, I heard that ten banks had been attacked, and it seems strange that all of this is happening solely over last Saturday’s shooting. Indeed, it is a perfect pretext for the Greek authorities and the media - not to mention their counterparts over here - who fear that their cosy relationship with the international clique of banking criminals may result in them hanging from shiny lamp-posts from Washington to Dublin to Sydney.

Oh. Indeed. Long story, but it has recently come to light that some very huge quantities of stolen money has been parked in Greece for the past two years.

ROBERT RUBIN RAN THE MONEY – AND THE DIVERSIONS
This diversion had been orchestrated by the corrupt former President Clinton’s main mole inside Citibank/Citigroup, one Robert Rubin, the former US Treasury Secretary, who authored a prominent article published in the Wall Street Journal dated 29th November, the theme of which was ‘It’s not my fault’. [The Editor calls the habit that these people routinely adopt of protesting too much when cornered, ‘Blankfeinism’, after the display of supreme arrogance by Paulson’s successor as CEO at Goldman Sachs, Mr Blankfein, who boasted in the summer of 2007 about how well his institution had been doing, when of course it had been engaged in dodgy financial manipulations as exposed inter alia by this service].

Confirmation that the original $4.5 trillion funds were diverted by Robert Rubin from Citibank to an account or accounts located in Athens, and that the funds had been so diverted for perhaps two + years, was obtained by this service between 11.30pm and midnight on Wednesday 26th November 2008. For their part, certain Greek parties could not understand what on earth was going on, with some concluding that the Americans had gone completely mad. Whether the transactions were in any way facilitated by John Negroponte, of Greek Jewish extraction, and /or by Olga Sarantopoulos, is not known at this juncture.

It may also be recalled that in the late fall of 2007, the Treasurer of the United States, Ms. Anna Escobedo Cabral, held a meeting with Robert Rubin at Citibank, which she was reported to have left in a seriously discontented frame of mind. It was even rumoured that Ms. Cabral had indicated that she would not stand for this endless corruption any longer, would do her best to procure the Settlements, and would then resign. What the US Treasurer is believed to have found out during that meeting was that certain missing funds had been diverted to Athens.

Reverberations from this and related scandals were still roiling Citibank/Citigroup, one of the CIA’s favoured ‘helpful’ institutions, as late as mid-November 2008. On the 13th November, the institution issued the following brief statement:

‘The Board of Directors of Citigroup Inc. today reiterated its full support for the company’s chairman, Sir Win Bischoff, and said it looks forward to its continued leadership. This morning’s Wall Street Journal report to the contrary is completely erroneous’.

The ‘erroneous’ report had referenced allegations that senior Citigroup staff members had been unhappy with Sir Win’s oversight of Chief Executive Vikram Pandit and his management team, and had suggested that Dick Parsons, the bank’s senior independent director, was possibly being lined up to replace Sir Win Bischoff, who was parachuted into Citibank in part to serve inter alia as the guardian of The Queen’s loan funds with the bank.

But in translation, it can be seen that the pressure on Robert Rubin will have been intense, and that a belated rearguard action may have been mounted to ‘rid the bank’ of HM The Queen’s de facto representative and of the influence of MI6 in procuring the necessary overdue resolution of the Settlements dimension of this vast crisis, without collapsing Citibank and causing thereby a worldwide depression (the ‘ace’ that Robert Rubin has of course been cynically playing). On 21st November, Rubin was STILL reported, as noted, to have tried hard to block the Settlements.

People rioting in the streets, disgusted with greedy and corrupt officials who have wasted their money and brought nothing but scandal after scandal? You don’t say. Maybe that’s why Hank Paulson looks like a hunted, beady eyed rodent out in public. He probably expects someone to rush him with a pitchfork at any moment, or maybe have a bolt of lightning come down and turn him into stubble.

Problems at the Carnival

The CSIS report on cyber security has hit the ground running. We have problems, people. Serious, serious problems. Just ask CNN. Every day our national security gets compromised by cyber criminals, foreign intelligence operatives, and who knows who else.

What!?!

Yes, my friends. Woe. Woe! Obama must do something right away, like appoint a Cyber Czar and spend taxpayer money creating a new agency. STAT! It’s an e m e r g e n c y.

The 96-page “Securing Cyberspace for the 44th Presidency” report was made public at the start of the week and offers numerous ideas and recommendations for government officials who are growing more concerned about the possibility of cyberwarfare.

“The United States must treat cybersecurity as one of the most important national security challenges it faces,” according to the report. It adds that the current Bush administration’s Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative “good but not sufficient” and the use of computers as attack tools creates “a strategic issue on par with weapons of mass destruction and global jihad.”

Furthermore, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has not been able to properly secure U.S. government computers from cyber attacks, and should no longer have the responsibility. DHS isn’t suited to handle technology issues, as the agency uses “archaic” methods that cannot keep up with new attacks.

At least five members of Obama’s transition team helped contribute to the report, and his staff is eager to see how they can better protect the United States from cyber attacks.

DHS will likely be strengthened once Obama takes office, but even so, it’s not recommended the agency continue to have the lead in cyber security, as it “is not the agency to lead in a conflict with foreign intelligence agencies or militaries, or even well organized international cyber criminals.”

In an ideal scenario, the new office would combine the Joint Inter-Agency Cyber Task Force and DHS National Center for Cybersecurity while recruiting cyber security experts to help create new levels of defense.

Now, just a small sampling of CSIS board of trustees members include some familiar names like Dick Armitage, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Bill Frist, Henry Kissinger, Brent Scowcroft. This is clearly an arm of the octopus. These people know full well that our government has long since been infiltrated by foreign operatives, aka their friends and colleagues. They know full well that they at best ignored the problem they so shrilly wave their arms about today, now that it has grown massively out of control. They know that DHS, under the dual national Michael Chertoff, never had any intention of protection US national security. This is just Hegelian problem-reaction-solution stuff.

Anyone who seriously wants to help this country can start by weeding out all the dual nationals and foreign operatives who brazenly work to destroy America. And I would suggest that’s not about to happen, unfortunately, much as I would wish otherwise.

By polluting and compromising our national interest, our so called leaders have truly made a mess of the whole world; since no country can operate safely in an environment where other nations’ interests and motives remain hidden and entwined, unless of course they spy. Yes, spying has always existed, but securely lashing the US national interest to Israel’s has resulted in an escalation of security breaches because it destabilizes our position vis a vis the rest of the world. We must be like dealing with Sybil. And this has been going on for years and years, but now, all of a sudden, surprising us no end, practically inconceivable, you are to consider that it is an emergency that our security has been compromised. Yes! No shit! Thanks for the tip! And you can just imagine what sorts of fixes they have in mind, which of course will need to be rammed through as quickly as possible a la the Patriot Act, especially if we suffer some kind of terrorist attack, as has been forecast, and during which the ride will probably not withstand the tremendous spin forces.

Meanwhile, we’re just going to keep going around and around on this carnival ride until somebody down there throws some sand in the gear box or sticks a banana in the exhaust or tackles the operator, or something. God help us.

Our work destroying your country is almost complete

On August 26, 2008 I wrote:

Israel, made aware of their precarious situation thanks to powerful Russian smelling salts, might suddenly become much more cooperative with their neighbors. The US, flat-footed and broke, saddled with multiple losing wars, in the middle of a presidential election and yet still dragging the Bush team around for another four and a half more months, will fail to manage the diplomatic challenges directly ahead. They would have to admit to being wrong, and that is not something that they ever admit. In fact, Condi has done nothing but dig the hole deeper, and now The Dick himself will head over to the region to crack some heads together. In contrast, the Israelis merely have to be treacherous, and a horrible ally, willing to stab us in the back in order to save themselves. I don’t see that as a problem for them.

Press TV: Israel Confirms Secret Talks with Arabs

Gabriela Shalev said that she took part in some of the secret meetings held between Israeli president Shimon Peres and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni with some Arab leaders during the two-day conference in the General Assembly.

The official however refused to identify any of the Arabs, citing the sensitivity of the talks.

“The whole idea was to start some kind of a dialogue with the moderate Arab countries, and the UN is really the right place _ not to do negotiations themselves, but all states are represented,” APTN quoted Shalev as saying.

…During the secret meeting the Saudi and Israeli officials discussed cooperation to initiate a new peace plan between Arab states and Israel.

According to the new plan, which is expected to announce when US president-elect Barack Obama takes office, the two sides agreed that the plan should not call for two key issues of “Jerusalem (al-Quds) as future Palestinian capital” and “the right of return to thousands of Palestinian refugees”.

So don’t get all excited about actual peace, which would be great, because this is more like (air quotes) peace (end air quotes), in which the “new plan” avoids precisely the two most important issues to the Palestinians. But still, it’s a Big Secret because….

Well, why is it a Big Secret?

Because. It highlights the enormous geostrategic changes going on, in which the United States has nearly collapsed thanks to eight years of Israeli neocon dominated policymaking, both foreign and domestic. Eight years during which the American people have watched our country be destroyed from within. Eight years of kissing Israel’s ass and overlooking Israel’s crimes and fighting Israel’s wars under the aegis of neocon intellectual lights of darkness such as Doug Feith, Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan, Henry Paulson, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleeza Rice and all their corrupt flunkies throughout the US government and Washington think tanks and corporate media propaganda outlets who set these disasters in motion and gave them fresh momentum whenever they flagged. Now their work is almost complete. The US will keel over soon — MURDERED by these criminals and their Luciferian banking handlers.

And that is the only reason why Israel must now reorient toward Russia and the local gang of moderate Arab countries. (Those would be the ones we’ve paid off to put up with Israel.)

The last detail: how to get away with it? Perhaps the old stand-by? Some horrific domestic false flag terror attack, fast-crashing the economy and triggering martial law, to be blamed on Muslims naturally? Coming from Canada, perhaps? Or to be politically safer, some “natural disaster” triggered with the latest weather modification technologies? The end result is still the same. Israel can cut loose while watching our agony with “regret.”

But, you know, it’s rude to notice this kind of thing.

India’s Admirers

India and Russia — getting along really well. They just signed on to some long-term joint ventures to build nuclear energy plants and travel to space, among other things.

NEW DELHI, December 5 (AFP): India and Russia on Friday signed an agreement covering the building of four new nuclear energy reactors in southern India, as well as a cooperation accord on manned space flight. Russia becomes the third country to sign an atomic energy agreement with India after a decision in September by the Nuclear Suppliers Group to waive its ban on trade of nuclear technology with India.
The United States and France are the other powers to have signed agreements with New Delhi. The nuclear agreement covers the building of four atomic reactors at Kudankulam in the southern state of Tamil Nadu. The value of the deal was not given. Moscow is already building two 1,000-megawatt light water reactors at the site.

…The India-Russia relationship has “withstood the test of time,” Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said at a joint press conference with visiting Russian President Dmitry Medvedev here Friday. The many agreements signed between India and Russia, he said, marked “a new milestone in the history of cooperation with Russia.” Addressing the media after the signing of various agreements between India and Russia, Manmohan Singh said, “It’s a relationship that has withstood the test of time.” He said Russia had consistently supported India in “diverse areas.” Manmohan Singh said the large number of agreements that were signed marked a new milestone in the history of cooperation with Russia, which was also helping India’s “human space flight programme”. He added that dialogue between the two countries had “intensified considerably.” Stating that the terrorist attack in Mumbai “present a threat to pluralistic societies,” the Prime Minister said, “There is much Russia and India can do to promote global peace.”

More details here:

Another deal on the sale to India of 80 military helicopters was also signed.

Medvedev is the first head of state to visit India following terrorist attacks on Mumbai a week ago which left over 180 people dead. He has already pledged Moscow’s support to India in the anti-terror fight.

“The terrorist threat is not over for our country,” said Medvedev in an interview with Indian public television. “We are ready to have cooperation (with India) in all areas with the aim of preventing such terror attacks.”

He was welcomed with a full military salute at the presidential palace and then laid a wreath at the memorial of Mahatma Gandhi, before heading into talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

The string of accords underline that ties between Moscow and New Delhi — which date back to the Soviet Union — continue to be strong, despite India’s desire to also build relations with the United States.

Energy-hungry India has signed cooperation pacts with France and the United States since the ban was lifted, meaning Russia now faces competition in the market.

“We are not scared of competition. Russian technology can compete,” the head of Russia’s nuclear agency, Sergei Kiriyenko, told reporters.

He said it was too early to discuss the possibility of Russia building two more reactors in Kudankulam for a total of eight but said that after Friday’s signing, “We can start talks about new agreements.”

Moscow is also keen to retain its position as India’s main supplier of weaponry amid increasing competition from the United States and Israel.

Russia, which supplies 70 percent of Indian military hardware, has been concerned that its slice of the defence market risks becoming leaner amid disputes over costs and late deliveries.

The wide main streets of central Delhi have been decorated with Russian flags to welcome Medvedev but the visit is taking place under the tightest security with a visible police presence.

The continued strength of ties between Moscow and New Delhi contrasts with the sometimes prickly relationship between Russia and India’s long-time foe Pakistan.

And even more here:


Medvedev said in the television interview that current defence cooperation was “not enough” and there needed to be more projects such as the Bramos anti-ship cruise missile jointly developed by the two sides. He said he wanted defence, security and weapons trade between the two nations to develop beyond a simple “buy and sell” relationship towards a fully-fledged bilateral cooperation.

It’s pretty clear that since Mumbai, the already strong relationship between India and Russia gained substantial momentum. More military cooperation, more economic cooperation, joint ventures with the most sensitive technologies of nuclear power and space exploration. That’s an interesting outcome from the Mumbai attack, don’t you think?

Meanwhile, China has offered (mostly diplomatic) support for Pakistan. Lots of nice words and meteorological gadgets, but nothing like the level of cooperation between Russia and India. Nonetheless, Pakistan seems way short of friends right now, so this token support is something.

ISLAMABAD: A Chinese envoy has said that Pakistan has acted in an extremely positive way to scale down tension with India.

Chinese Ambassador in Islamabad, honorable Luo Zhao Hui, while talking to media persons after a ceremony here Saturday to handover modern weather equipment to Pakistan, said that his country will extend its full assistance to Pakistan in all sectors including defence.“We have always been helping our brotherly and friendly country and will continue it with the same zeal and gesture in future as well. We shall do more in helping our brotherly and friendly country,” he said.

Ambassador Zhao Hui called for advancement and continuation of the composite dialogue process between Pakistan and India to find solution of the problems through peaceful means, adding that China sees no signs of war between the two countries.

Secretary Defence Syed Athar Ali talking on the occasion said that Pakistan is sincerely fighting against terrorism and would be a part of the war till its logical end.

Earlier, addressing the handing over of modern meteorological gadgets by China to Meteorological Department of Pakistan, the ambassador said his country has multi-dimensional cooperation with Pakistan in variety of fields.

He termed the met gadgets, handed over to Meteorological Department of Pakistan, as “small gift” from people and government of China for their Pakistani friends and said the mutual cooperation and relationship is growing stronger with the passage of time.

And of course, Pakistan has to deal with the US. We’re ‘good friends.’ But, the US also wants to be even better friends with India, a desire especially heightened by Russia and India flaunting their kissy lips. Dammit. This is the kind of thing that makes neocons freak out.

Far from damping down tensions between India and Pakistan, the visit by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to the two countries in the wake of the Mumbai terrorist attacks has only added more fuel to the fire.

In New Delhi on Wednesday, Rice publicly backed India’s demands on Pakistan for tough measures against the alleged perpetrators of the atrocity. The following day, after meeting with Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari in Islamabad, she declared that Pakistan was “very focussed and committed” to fighting terrorism, but reinforced the message that the Pakistani government had to provide “unequivocal assistance” to India.

…The media leaks, particularly those by US officials, are aimed at undercutting Pakistani disclaimers and reinforcing American demands that Islamabad take action against elements of the military and the ISI who in the past have backed various Islamist militias. That is the message behind Rice’s declaration that the Pakistani government had to engage in “rooting out terrorists and rounding up whoever perpetrated this [Mumbai] attack, from wherever it was perpetrated, whatever its sources, whatever the leads”.

In pressuring Pakistan to bow to Indian demands, the Bush administration is recklessly aggravating a volatile situation. The unstable Pakistani government is widely regarded as a puppet of Washington for assisting the US-led occupation of Afghanistan by unleashing the military against anti-occupation insurgents operating from border areas in Pakistan. At the same time, the accusations against the ISI will only compound the tense relationship between the Pakistani government and the military.

Moreover, any concessions by Pakistan to longtime rival India may well be used by opposition politicians to whip up nationalist sentiment. On Wednesday, some 2,000 students protested in Islamabad against Rice’s visit to India. There is growing outrage that the US and India are exploiting the Mumbai attacks for their own political purposes. This takes place amid widespread discontent and anger over deteriorating living standards as the Pakistani government implements IMF austerity measures as part of an economic bailout package.

The US stance will only encourage the Indian government to take a more belligerent stand against Pakistan. Speaking in a joint press conference on Wednesday with Rice, Indian foreign minister Pranab Mukherjee declared there was “no doubt” that the gunmen had come from Pakistan. He warned that “whatever the government considers necessary to protect its territorial integrity, safety and security of its citizens, the government will do”.

So now India has the two superpowers, neighbor Russia and the US, both jostling each other for preferential status. Condi throws Pakistan under the bus along the way. Poor Pakistan has the brotherly diplomatic support of China along with some new meteorological instruments. This situation is ridiculously unbalanced. Meanwhile, you can always count on wingers to make things worse.

Right-wing Hindu extremist groups are whipping up communal tensions inside India. The fascistic Shiv Sena based in Mumbai has called in its newspaper for the dismantling of “mini-Pakistans” inside India, before teaching “Pakistan a lesson by launching an attack on it”. The reference to mini-Pakistanis is a provocative incitement to pogroms against India’s large Muslim minority. Despite claiming to be secular and democratic, the ruling Congress Party, which faces national elections next year, has repeatedly bowed to pressure from the Hindu right in the past.

The ratchetting up of tensions on the Indian subcontinent is an indictment of the ruling elites in both countries. Completely incapable of addressing the elementary social needs and democratic aspirations of working people, they are again stirring up communal divisions as a means of shoring up their political bases. The intrusion of the US into this explosive political mixture in pursuit of its own strategic interests—in the first place to consolidate its occupation of Afghanistan—only heightens the danger of war.

In the midst of all this jostling and shoving, “someone” played a dangerous hoax on India and Pakistan that could have triggered a very unfortunate reaction that surely would later have been “regretted.” A man posing as India’s Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee called and threatened Pakistan’s President Zardari. The call was put through without verification, as bizarrely, these two countries do not have a secure line for leaders to communicate with each other. (???) After some high alerts, nothing came of it.

Hmm. I “wonder” who would do such a thing?

Dogs That Don’t Bark

Do you notice how Israel barely gets mentioned during the financial crisis?

Do you notice how Russia barely gets mentioned during the Mumbai terrorist analysis?

I find that suspicious. Noisy, powerful countries that all of a sudden fade into the background as soon as big problems surface?…that raises an eyebrow. And whenever you read some variation of: “It’s clear that…” in the media, you should know that it is not clear at all. Whatever they say is “clear” deserves your utmost skepticism, especially if it comes out of a known corporate media rag.

I have been wondering about the Russian angle. Are we really to believe that the Russians, who have just ascended to top dog position in world power politics, have nothing whatsoever to do with the Mumbai attacks? Really?

The Russians and the Israels connect through the oligarchs, and, as it turns out, through the Chabad Lubavitch. And since the Chabad Lubavitch rests at the center of the Mumbai terrorist attacks, it only seems logical to ask what this might possibly have to do with Russia.

Naturally, we have to deal with layers. Evidently, the underworld does everything in layers because they lie all the time. They have to lie, because what they really think and want and believe is abhorrent to the world of normal people, which by the way vastly outnumbers them. So to survive, they create a world of deception and manipulate people’s emotions 24×7x365, using the corporate media as their primary instrument, but not eschewing other methods of terrorism and disinformation as needed.

For instance, while the Neocons, Zionists and many ordinary Lubavitchers remain hostile to Russia, the Lubavitchers ‘in the know’ have no problem with Putin. If the Chabad Lubavitch has an understanding with Russia at the top levels, unknown to the rank and file, it opens the door for people to be used. This happens to be very convenient, given the Chabad Lubavitch’s extensive network of outreach houses.

Because Lubavitcher outreach offices are located in some of the most important political, corporate and university centers throughout the world, the Lubavitchers have put together a network that is incomparable for corporate and international espionage as well as for the secret exchange of information. Because Chabad Houses could potentially act as safe houses, where there would be no record of a person’s stay, the Lubavitcher outreach network is far superior to that of Aish HaTorah for covert operations.

Most people do not take the Lubavitchers seriously, but I have visited Chabad houses and encountered senior Israeli government or military officials (and probably intelligence agents). One can easily imagine that Neocon intelligentsia trying to develop a relationship with Hindutva (हिन्दुत्व) intelligentsia or politicians might have used the Chabad Nariman House as a meeting place.

Because the Lubavitchers provide an unconditional welcome to all Jews in the hope of bringing them closer to the Lubavitcher way of life, not only have the Lubavitchers been open to potential subversion by Israeli intelligence organizations, but in general Mossad and Shin Bet have found it quite easy to penetrate the haredi community as the two organizations managed to do both in Israel and also in the USA during the Yossele Affair (Israeli reunites with NY woman who helped in his abduction).

Whether Russia had anything to do with the Mumbai attacks, I don’t know. But it’s a possibility, and it should be considered. It is interesting to note that Putin’s public statement condemned the attacks and noted support for India, as well as that in the meantime, Russia and NATO underwent a little rapprochment this week, to the chagrin of Condi Rice. Also, China has assured full support to Pakistan. That seems to balance things out a bit, and that might be enough to slow everything down. Slowing this down is crucial to unravelling it.

Update: Oh look. The oligarchs, mostly Jews, are losing giant piles of money. They must be under tremendous pressure right now. Was Mumbai a convergence of Putin/oligarchs/Israel/Chabad/Mossad/CIA/MI6, trying to reorganize the geostrategic map more to their liking by triggering the break up of Pakistan?

The Cutting Edge

Fun fact: Alabama is the birthplace of ace terrorist Rashid Ruif.

Rauf, 27, from Ward End, Birmingham –an Al Qaeda suspect said to be the “key player” behind the alleged liquid bomb plot to blow up transatlantic airliners – was killed in a missile strike last Saturday in North Western Pakistan by an unmanned US drone.

So they say.

At the time of his death Rauf was meeting with Egyptian extremist and senior Al Qaeda field commander Abu Zubair al-Masri in the tribal heartland of Waziristan.

Indian investigators will now probe the significance of that meeting, thought to have been a “council of war” to discuss jihadi attacks against western targets, and examine connections between LET, JEM and the Mumbai attacks.

Unbelievable.

Well, you never know with these wily terrorists. For all we know, he could be alive and well, right? I mean, look at Tim Osman/Osama bin Laden. Alive and plotting against Western Civilization…dead since 2001…what’s the difference? For all intents and purposes, he is alive and busy. That’s the terror of it: you just never know. No preparations will ever be enough. We can go around and around on this carousel of terror for ever and ever and ever, world without end. Amen.

But don’t you worry. Alabama has just opened a brand spanking new Fusion Center with a grant from the Department of Homeland Security. (Background info on fusion centers here.)

The Fusion Center is a collaborative operation that receives and disseminates data aimed at combating terrorism and crime, according to Col. J. Christopher Murphy, director of the Alabama Department of Public Safety. DPS houses the center, provides the officer in charge, and serves as co-chair of its steering committee, along with the Alabama Department of Homeland Security.

“We know that information-sharing is critical in fighting terrorism and other criminal activities that victimize the public and undermine our safety and security,” Murphy said. “Through the Alabama Fusion Center, we have established a means to capture, analyze and disseminate data that furthers the work of protecting our state,” he said.

So there’s absolutely no chance whatsoever that Rashid Ruif will come back for his ten year high school reunion or anything and take revenge on all those classmates who voted for Israel-supporting President-elect Barack Obama. Top terrorist Zawahri considers Obama nothing but a ‘house-slave,’ so you can imagine the radical Muslim terrorists disappointment with him, and by extension, with people who support him. And that would be a lot of people. People who maybe should learn a lesson.

Zawahri [whose name often appears as Zawahiri in our bizarre western media], referred to Obama as a “house slave”. It was a historical reference to pre-Civil War days when white Americans in the land of the free could legally own black Americans; those who worked in the mansions were typically more docile, and more inclined to do the bidding of their owners, than those who worked in the fields.

The man running the new Fusion Center is Vice Admiral (ret.) Roger T. Rufe, Jr., who hails from the Coast Guard. Now this is actually kind of fortunate because, as it turns out, Alabama is also ahead of the curve with port security. All workers are required to have federal ID cards by December 30, 2008.

New federal ID cards will be required of all local port workers starting Dec. 30, and the enrollment center in Mobile was bustling Thursday as people scrambled to get their cards, which require an extensive background check and cost more than $100 each.

Doug O’Brien, a 51-year-old truck driver for CTL Distribution Inc. in Theodore, sat with about a dozen people waiting to either apply for or pick up their cards. O’Brien, who was applying, said he had waited so long because up until a week ago he had heard very little about the program.

“All of a sudden, you’ve got to have it by the end of the month or else you don’t drive, you don’t work, you don’t eat,” O’Brien said.

The pressure is on. These people must be processed to get their cards so that they can work. But again, don’t you worry. Alabama is on the cutting edge of this port security program. And these people are motivated to get their cards because they need to work and put food on their families and presents under the tree and all that good stuff.

The enrollment center at the International Trade Center opened exactly a year ago this week. Since that time, the state docks has worked with the Alabama Trucking Association, held public meetings, distributed flyers and taken other steps to get the word out.

Mobile is far ahead of many other ports in terms of number of people enrolled, placing seventh, just after Lake Charles, La., according to federal data.

O’Brien’s company is footing the bill for his card, called the Transportation Worker Identification Credential, or TWIC.

The requirement also becomes effective Dec. 30 for the ports of Pascagoula, Gulfport, Pensacola and Panama City. By April 15, 2009, all ports must be in compliance and all credentialed mariners must be in a possession of the card.

And look who administers the program.

The program — a result of the terrorist attacks of 9/11 — is being overseen by the Transportation Security Administration, a division of the Department of Homeland Security, in conjunction with the U.S. Coast Guard. It is being administered by Lockheed Martin Corp., with the Alabama State Port Authority helping implement it locally.

So you can see that Vice Admiral Rufe is the perfect fit to lead the Fusion Center with his Coast Guard background. After all, we are talking about port security, one of the known weak links in our national security system since 9/11. Lockheed Martin, DHS, the Coast Guard, Port Authority…what more do you want? The top people are on the case.

Of course, if somehow some terrorist was ever able to slip through this amazing security, that would be really almost unbelievable. But it could happen. Unfortunately, you just never know with these things. The terrorists are so wily. It’s like they can outsmart our most stupendous preparations, you know?

But I’m sure we have nothing to worry about.

I know you are but what am I?

These dots here are just begging to be connected.

Urban Survival has been talking about quakes and gold and food.

With just about a week to go before we get to the “twin earthquakes” of mid December that are supposed to leave at least one of the two areas involved with isolation and substantial damage, we are also continuing to monitor the other memes that have been in recent www.halfpasthuman.com ALTA reports.

One that I find fascinating is the whole concept of rationing/shortages of this or that. And it’s a mixed bag of news. Some sample first that may be ‘food’ news:

[snip]

Confused By Gold?

Me too. Things are looking stranger than strange here on the gold front. First, one of my buddies is trying to take delivery on some ‘mini’ contracts and seems like he’s being stonewalled by the exchange (more on this if he doesn’t get his gold). And, I hear that delivery requests are way up for December.

[snip]

With the ‘window’ for our ‘twin quakes’ with massive impacts due Dec 10 to 15th (roughly) we can’t help but notice the 5.1 shaker in southern California last night. I figure maybe next weekend we will have our first BIG one. Belted in? Things nailed down?

Speaking of Big Ones, compare and contrast (via Lord Stirling):

Gold going to permanent backwardation means that gold is no longer for sale at any price, whether it is quoted in dollars, yens, euros, or Swiss francs. The situation is exactly the same as it has been for years: gold is not for sale at any price quoted in Zimbabwe currency, however high the quote is. To put it differently, all offers to sell gold are being withdrawn, whether it concerns newly mined gold, scrap gold, bullion gold or coined gold. I dubbed this event that has cast its long shadow forward for many a year, the last contango in Washington — contango being the name for the condition opposite to backwardation (namely, that of a positive basis), and Washington being the city where the Paper-mill of the Potomac, the Federal Reserve Board, is located. This is a tongue-in-cheek way of saying that the jig in Washington is up. The music has stopped on the players of ‘musical chairs’. Those who have no gold in hand are out of luck. They won’t get it now through the regular channels. If they want it, they will have to go to the black market.

[snip]

Once entrenched, backwardation in gold means that the cancer of the dollar has reached its terminal stages. The progressively evaporating trust in the value of the irredeemable dollar can no longer be stopped.

[snip]

If the governments of the great trading nations had really wanted to save the world from a catastrophic collapse of world trade, then they should have opened their mints to gold. Now gold backwardation has caught up with us and shut down the free flow of gold in the system. This will have catastrophic consequences. Few people realize that the shutting down of the gold trade, which is what is happening, means the shutting down of world trade. This is a financial earthquake measuring ten on the Greenspan scale, with epicenter at the Comex in New York, where the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center once stood. It is no exaggeration to say that this event will trigger a tsunami wiping out the prosperity of the world.

Sounds like a huge financial earthquake did occur in the depths, and the waves are probably spreading out as we sit here merrily going about our holiday business. Tra la la.

Oh by the way, do you have food on hand? The authorities would like to know (must read to believe).

On Monday, December 1, a SWAT team with semi-automatic rifles entered
the private home of the Stowers family in LaGrange, Ohio, herded the
family onto the couches in the living room, and kept guns trained on
parents, children, infants and toddlers, from approximately 11 AM to
8 PM. The team was aggressive and belligerent. The children were
quite traumatized. At some point, the “bad cop” SWAT team was
relieved by another team, a “good cop” team that tried to befriend
the family. The Stowers family has run a very large, well-known food
cooperative called Manna Storehouse.

Bad Stowers family. Bad Bad Bad. FOR RUNNING A FOOD COOPERATIVE.

W. T. F. ??????????????????????????????

So there you have your quakes and gold and food dots connected. Sorry that it’s not a pretty picture.

But wait there’s more, and it gets worse.

You may have read or heard that one of the things Israeli soldiers do at checkpoints is force Palestinians to snitch on people in exchange for getting through. This technique works especially well if you have a sick child that will die unless you get him to the hospital, for instance. All you have to do is offer up a name or two. This utterly evil, demented, Luciferian contempt puts people in impossible positions.

Is that joy coming to our world soon? Just imagine if you had to snitch on somebody to get out of your Martial Law barricaded city for some reason, say, for example, if our currency crashed and you had to go stay with relatives living somewhere else because you ran out of money and food and could no longer support your self or your family.

The war on terror is a psyop. Beginning with [but not ending with - ed.] Muslim men, everyone will be forced into selling-out to the Americans or facing American bombs. [Even...you guessed it...Americans! - ed.] The United States confronts the world with a large gun in one hand and large sacks of money in the other hand. Every man of fighting age will have to choose between wealth and resistance. Will he choose to provide his family with a life of luxury, or with a lifetime of strife? Will you take America’s side in its war against Islam for enormous wealth, or will you fight for God, family and country to your last breath? [Will you? - ed.]

What if the money becomes worthless?

The best thing that could happen for the world would be the total collapse of the dollar and hyper-inflation in the US. This alone would make the dollar about as valuable as a confederate dollar, making it harder to purchase more mercenary armies with large sacks of money.

Either sell your soul for money and accept your place within this evil system, or be marked for life as one to be hunted and harassed. Sounds an awful lot like “the mark of the beast,” doesn’t it? Or is it just the normal American life, the so-called “dream,” to have to choose a life of subservience to the beast, as opposed to a lifetime of persecution? Haven’t we all been faced with that choice at some point in our lives? Did you sell-out in your struggle to reach the middle class?

So if the dollar collapses, it will cause untold economic suffering but will also take a tool out of the psyops toolbox.

Otherwise, it’s more psyops, more war, more suffering.

Either way, suffering is G U A R A N T E E D. Us, them. What’s the difference? To the people playing these geopolitical games, believe me, there is no difference between an American and any other poor schlub on the face of the earth. We are all pawns. The sooner Americans realize that fact, the better.

Jew Trash

Jew Trash. Superior to other races’ trash in every way. â„¢

Desert Peace has some video of settler violence against Palestinians. You can watch it and read more at Kenny’s Sideshow.

It’s appalling.

But for me, this picture says it all - the look of utterly smug self-satisfaction on this punk. He discharged his load of pent up rage, and he will obviously get away with it. Does he look at all worried to be in the clutches of a police officer? He certainly does not. Whatever inconvenience he has to put up with, and it will be minor and brief, is a small price to pay for the swagger he now enjoys.

How pathetic. What a pathetic excuse for a human being.
