Reinhard Gehlen, old Bush/Scherff family friend, sorted out the postwar intelligence arrangements in Switzerland, 1944, with Allen Dulles (of the family that ran the security/intelligence ops for the British East India Company, with as many as 300,000 mercenaries).
Gehlen was the architect of the post-war US spook system as well as the stay-behind network of Europe. He set up “alternate” patriot radio as a SMOM front for Nazi émigrés. Almost all the media and internet is fake; occasionally you get a few genuine talk radio hosts, like Jacqy Patru. They never make it big unless they sell their souls. Generally they get heaved out or neutralized. Oh, and May Brussell was the real thing; she was eliminated when she started seeing the Nazi/Zionist overlap and the real identiy of characters like Kissinger’s mentor, Kramer. Anyone who’s not controlled or who goes out of control (like Bill Cooper, Prieur de Sion) is removed.
Nothing’s changed. Thus the blackouts on certain topics. All media actors have their mandates, not always the same of course. It must be living hell for them.
@frances snoot – well it certainly makes it more expensive for them to operate overseas; but it also makes oil more expensive so gives more cash flow to the oil rich regions, like UAE . . . their currency is pegged to dollar, so they are not benefiting from any relative currency strength, but do get that oil income (or Abu Dhabi does anyway)
Low dollar is supporting US arms exports. United Arab Emirates have been the number 1 customer.
“Reported that the size of the U.S. arms exports this year, an increase of 4.7% year on year, reaching 38.1 billion U.S. dollars, setting an annual record.”

@ Paul, all joking aside, it could end with the dissolution of the republic of the U.S. What are your projections? Bank holiday and devaluation of currency? Enough of us figure it out and leave the system?
You know, the ONLY solution and best fit solution is to walk away. The destruction is caused by power elite owning and controlling the energy grid, which we don’t need anymore. And the financial grid. We can largely do without banks as well.
The root source of the problem is fundamental errors in the precepts of Western civilization, the most obvious of which is it’s a model built on forever growth. As such, it is obviously deeply flawed.
Make a system which does NOT depend on forever growth and expansion, and you have a sustainable model. Presto – it removes the power grid, the greed/kill/feudal attributes, and presents reallignment of human values. Reallignment to what? Imagine. Think. Dream. Then tell me what you came up with. THIS is our reality, and it is up to us to make what we choose.
Thanks for linking that Denninger interview. Very insightful and reinforcing. Don’t invest in anything unless it’s easily liquidable he says. And basically that we’re in a situation in this country from the top down that doesn’t want to take the hit. The buck is passed down to the citizen, which through taxation, cannot just shrug off the bill. The government has a ready pool of tax dollars in which to close the tab. The worse part of it is that that pool is diminished or gone. Denninger fears a loss of a nation due to this irresponsibility, but he forecasts 3-5 years in the future.

Dairy has become more expensive than some top cuts of meat in Canada, and the cost is hitting restaurants and food processors the hardest, says the head of the food services industry.
“A kilogram of cheese is more expensive than a kilogram of steak. A litre of milk is the same price as a litre of orange juice from Florida,” said Garth Whyte, president and CEO of the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association.
“They now call cheese white gold,” he said. “It’s very, very expensive. I saw it today. A 500 gram brick at an [Ottawa] grocery store was on sale — $2 off. It was $6 for 500 grams, so it was $12 a kilogram. A top sirloin steak was on sale for $9 a kilogram,” said Whyte in an interview with CBC News Monday.
The association has called for a 16.5 per cent reduction in the price of industrial milk at a meeting Monday with the Canadian Dairy Commission in Ottawa.
