Stacy Summary: As long as politicians, regulators and the justice department refuse to hold anyone to account for the biggest theft in world history, I’m sure these sort of headlines will continue to escalate.

@Rastaman
Greece has already gave away a huge chunk of their biggest port -Piraeus- to China. The same way Italy gave away Napoli to the same country.
@Marc Authier
The link you gave is pretty great. It is very good for someone who’s beginning to understand these things. Truth is of course far worse. In Italy, for example, they say that Berlusconi was/is in P2, which explains his rise. If you add the P2 with Gladio and Banco Ambrosiano -just to mention a few- you get that they are far more than a gang or a crime syndicate. You also understand what was the US’s role in organizing these countries after W.W.II, during and after the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan and how the US itself functions.

Is your QTH Toronto?
@Mother Earth
That why you have to attack the general term: STATE TERRORISM. It’s a worldwide danger for all democracies.
Remember “Operation Gladio” The CIA allied with Italian fascists and the mafia in the 70′s assasinated many hundreds innocent Italians in the name of the Red Brigades. Operation Gladio is the ancestor of Al-Mossad and Al-CIA-aida. It’s the same false flag attack adopted this time for Europe.

Your comment would have been more effective if it was all in german. If you are trying to draw attention to isreal’s genocidal war crimes, your selective use of german is counter productive. That said, even though I may disagree with your, (in this case, choice) of words, I will lay down my life for your right to use them. So try not to let me die in vain. Peace.

Hi Max, re the global “Boycott /Divestment/Sanctions Israel” movement: is that to boycott all israeli goods/services or does it exempt Arab Israeli businesses? What about if it is a joint arab/jewish business? Or an Arab business funded by the Centre for Jewish-Arab Economic Development ?
http://www.cjaed.org.il/Index.asp?CategoryID=98
Is that ok or can we only exempt fully businesses FREE OF JEWS (that better)?
I ask since I was involved in scoping out a market for an Israeli Arab/Jewish product where the acceptable line was. The general response was that if Israeli Arabs created it and Israeli Jews only packaged or labelled it that was acceptable since the Jewish packaging/labelling could be removed. Appreciate it if you would clear up my confusion on why this is not racist.
Would love to have a balanced view re Palestinian Jews but alas not possible for some reason.
Thanks!
The root of our problem is a total lack of competition in both the private and public sectors.

Bigger than a bubble, it’s the only industry out here, other than being a port. ( gov’t ran up the debt for the Olympics, probably that money is ending up in real estate) The small 600 sq ft condo costs are close to $500,000. They are still building them, problem is it rains here and they are building leaky condos. So yes you buy the damned thing, and a few years down the road you are rebuilding them. The Athlete’s village is also coming onto the market so the glut is enormous. Lots of Chinese immigrants (close to me) bought 8 units and then are having trouble finding people to rent the rabbit hutches.
I got caught trying to flip a house in Calgary, when housing crashed in 1980, lost 60% of my money. A house should be a home not an investment. They depreciate daily, walls fall apart, plumbing goes, furnaces go, roofs go, give me a cave any day.
I’m originally from the U.K. single family homes here are built to the same standard as garden sheds in the U.K. 2×4 balloon construction with tar paper and vinyl siding and sometimes brick veneer. As with most things in North America nothing is built with much permanence in mind. Every few hundred years we get 9 earthquakes so I guess it’s better than having heavy stones fall on your head.
Single family houses, don’t even think about it!!

I also take offence to the word Judenrein. My parents are German and survived Nazi Germany. They saw their friends hauled off in cattle cars. We are all human beings and if we are ever to make this world a better place for our children, we need to work together. Singling out one group as scape goats has never worked. Look at your history.

I agree about the religous attacks. A much better pattern to follow is male baldness, and fake tans.
Look at the economic commentators on tv, the more hair the have the more honest they seem to be, unless, of course, they have a fake tan. I trust max ‘cuz he is pale and has a lovely mop. If your accountant is bald AND tan, god help you!
Actually, many Pope’s did act to protect Jews, but the trend was towards greater and greater persecution.
Incidentally, I myself am a Pope in the Discordian Church. If you can read this, you are all hereby ordained Pope’s yourselves. Don’t worry, I’m morally infallible, I know what I’m doing.

Silver Gains 10% against Gold in One Month
The Gold/Silver Ratio has shifted from 72:1 in early February to 65:1 today.
This represents a 10% gain against gold.
If the ratio hits 58:1 over the next couple of months, representing a further 12% gain and equating to $19.50 based on today’s gold price of 1135, the downtrend in the ratio will be confirmed, leaving the door open for further silver gains against gold.

don’t forget about the satellites, funny how they miss all those poppy fields in afghanistan, i guess the satellites are focused on iran, probably because iran has neither nukes nor opium. Now consider these two tid bits, the cia is moonlighting in the private sector, and the govt. has been quite open about spying on it’s citizens, now what kind of insider trading is this producing?
After reading all this, I never realized how naughty the Catholic church was. And how come I missed out on all the fun?
@ Viriathus
The Italian masonic lodge P2 was the primary propaganda Lodge for Italian Masons. Of course Gelli was found hung from Black friars bridge with blocks of masonary in his pockets (an obvious masonic hit)–he was a member of P2 lodge.
He was part of Gods Banker syndicate which included cardinal Marcinkus (ex Chicago)
So far little has been mentioned of the Masonic connection to the Power Elite, well here is a secret, world wide organisation connected to the highest levels of politics, industry, banking and Royalty—conspiracy anyone??

The bottom line is Hamas is not just an enemy Israel, they’re an enemy to their own people. All the aide money that goes into Palestine fills the pocket of their leaders. Feeling sorry for Hamas is like feeling sorry for the leadership in Haiti or Iceland. (Remember what John Perkins writes and teaches.)
So let’s not shed a tear for Hamas. Pray for the Palastinian people and let us be a voice for them.

Its been done before during the so called opium wars when gun boat diplomacy was used by the British and American to ensure they could continue to sell drugs to the Chinese. Of course the difference today is that the gunboats have nukes and both sides have them

@maxkeiser:
The priests need to be present for the bread and wine to signify Christ himself in the flesh. The view is one of Platonic representation on earth as it is in heaven ( a realm accessible only through the authority of the church). It is a revelation of the ideal:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_ideal
Do you see the bread and wine as a form of representation essential through the priesthood?
The mimetic form of virtual reality patterns itself from life as we can know it: therefore it is not really the same virtual form as the bread and wine for correlation. The priesthood is not necessary to transubstantiate this virtual reality into being through access to another plane. It would be a spurious form to Plato: one correlating in part to poetry.
(poetry being to me a fold itself through feeling correlating to the ideal, but not authoritarian and not of the priesthood)
Do you object to the ideal, the form, or the priesthood?
Objections might be substantiated regarding the rights of priests to interpret any plane of reality for the people (including scientists who wear the garb of dogma). Objections should be limited in the availability of virtual forms representing art or poetry or graphic mimetic play.
Remember everyone, all human beings no matter what race, ethnicity or religion are capable of performing mass autrocities. The reason why the elitites have gotten away with everything here is because they look like us, not like them.

I have come to believe that the central banks are using the u.s. and china in a good cop bad cop routine. America, the bad cop, goes around the world blasting open markets in a way that gives the good cop, china, fire sale discounts on the resources of smaller countries. Your thoughts?
The US broader geo-political strategy seems to putting increasing emphasis on using its military power to intimidate both Russia and China. The link I am posting below does not auger well for peace should both Russia and China challenge this dangerous strategy by the US. What with the constant saber rattling against Iran these madmen look at a thermo nuclear war without any consideration of the consequences for everyone.

The Greeks and Romans declared their emperors Gods. Politicians like a lot to give themselves the title of God. Louis XIV in France declared that him too, like Lloyd Blanfien, was God’s envoy. Power and money are the other religion.

@Mep
POWER AND MONEY. Two religions.
The romans emperors don’t forget, as Alexander The Great, which was stangely enough was homosexual, so as Ceasar, declared themselves Gods and persucuted the Jews and the Christians because they refused to recognize temporal power as a divinity. Staline and Hitler had about the same position. Believe me Mep and Max. If you want armie of pedophiles, the church is not the worst place. It’s evident that it’s more scandalous but less than rabbis selling organs under cover. I am not minimizing this fact. But it must be expected in ANY institution. Any.

Is there a link between SDRs and the trade of oil?
Surely, unless the dollars stranglehold over trading oil is released, the SDR thingy is just a side show.
Whichever currency is used for oil trade gets a major free lunch. I don’t think there’s room in this town for two currencies to fight over oil.
The US has two ways of stopping pretenders, such as the petroeuro. Invade the countries that dare sell in Euros (Iraq, Iran etc.) or bring down the competing currency. I guess that if the Euro has a serious breakdown soon, then perhaps the rhetoric against Iran will severely subside!
Back to SDRs, surely the BRICs will want to insist that Oil gets priced in them. This may never happen though, as the US has its economic equivalent of the CIA (in the form of GS) to take out any pretenders to the crown. They wouldn’t want to share out the magic chequebook with the other currencies in the SDR basket.
The only thing that could stop the US from its blatant milking of the petrodollar is for a Chinese led coup for a more robust trading currency. If they have any sense they will insist on a structure of SDR that is both an international reserve currency for settling balance of payments and (more importantly) for settling the purchase of oil, ultimately with some form of tangible backing such as Gold. From the fantasy era of the petrodollar to the austere era of petrogold.
Hang on to your hats its going to be a bumpy ride these next few years!

Child sex abuse in Dutch Catholic Church revealed 26 February 2010
Amid the high-profile child sexual abuse scandals in the United States and other European countries, the reputation of the Roman Catholic Church in the Netherlands has remained unsullied. A joint investigation by NRC Handelsblad and Radio Netherlands Worldwide shows this is unjustified. http://www.nrc.nl/international/Features/article2493257.ece/Child_sex_abuse_in_Dutch_Catholic_Church_revealed

What is also interesting is how printing started to spread knowledge outside the hitherto strict control of the church and allowed criticism to spread, sparking the reformation.
Internet is the modern equivalent of printing in those days.
It is also enabling criticism to spread…

@Mother:
I live in Florida, so I guess we do ‘live of light’. It’s especially nice in the winter. But I eschew religion. I’m allergic to ‘men of cloth’ (or women for that matter).
I want to see pundit on screen being so extravagantly wrong and oblivious of it that they spark instant revolt..We need insiders to push them to be more blatant. Let’s start a debt slave union trying to corner the market for debst slavery and selling out to the corporations or something..If you want to lite a fire be the spark, not the wind..
@stacy
Did they also mention why constantine turned a Christian?
All the wealth was in the other temples. Hence it was a great financial decision to render those illegal as it enabled him to confiscate that money in the name of the lord…
@Snoot
Have you ever tried to ‘live of light’, you seem to be the type for that..
Those gay priests..so obvious..they are not the only gay caste the world has seen. Muslims had the mamalukes..There’s nothing wrong with gay sex, just as long as you’re gay I guess

@Fib,..They’re all actors,..in the act we call reality,..go figure!
@Martijn – the torrent is online; it’s 6 part series; I believe it is BBC, but it could be Channel 4; anyway it starts in Jerusalem where all these stories start but the really interesting thing for me was how much it was a more Asian / Middle Eastern religion at first; that it was a religion for poor people turned the Roman emperors until Constantine who made it an imperial religion; the church broke into the Catholic church which went Imperial and the Orthodox church which still practices as it did 2000 years ago; anyway, for anyone interested in organized religions or the history of them, then it’s an interesting series
@ Danny – Can’t imagine how difficult it must be to speak out about the church there. I have a hard time among my family, because I come from Polish ancestry and my family–esp. on my father’s side–has always been deeply Catholic. I have a cousin currently going through the process of becoming a Catholic Priest; another older relative just finished a PhD in theology.
More priests’ abuse victims speak out 2 March 2010

Liquadate the Vatican and distribute the money Pope – or come out of the closet and stop persecuting gays and lesbians.
As I mentioned on KR this week – companies like Citigroup; with the Vatican providign cover, were caught trying to scapegoat and thieve money from a new gay website – based on a scapegoating technique perfected by Joeseph Goebbels.
First, establish a godhead (lloyd blainfein saying he’s goind god’s work) then persecute a minority like gays and scapegoat them while you steal wealth for God
Remind you of anyone?

Re: the Pentagon shooting: saw a decent report on the shooter this morning. It’s here. My husband and I looked at each other and laughed when they played the clip of Bedell saying:
The moral values of individuals and communities are increasingly attacked by a political system where deceit is routine and accepted and the only standard is power.
It’s hard to interpret that as a statement made by a mad man.

“The French deficit is set to climb to 8.2 percent of gross domestic product this year, the highest for at least half a century. Its debt is projected to jump to 83.2 percent of GDP — up 20 percentage points in just two years.
“France has been lumped as a core euro zone economy. To our mind the budgetary situation is not as good as the pricing suggests,” said Richard Batty, an investment director at Britain’s Standard Life Investments.
“It is being priced as though there isn’t a budget problem,” he said.”

I’ve boycotted Israel for some time now, when I first started getting off my arse and learning about the world – thats easy. Boycotting the Catholic church is another thing in Ireland, the stigma is incredible, and you get it from people who are so hypocritical and don’t even question why they ‘believe’ what they believe.
And the shit that organisation has done to the people of this small island is uncalculable. Course theres always the bad apple theory. Scandal after scandal.

The Vatican is not the worst place. Go ask Barney Frank and his lover in Washington ? The Vatican is small potatoes compared to Washington and Ottawa.
Yeah fuckin greek politicians.If you knew them like I know them, specially in the mining industry in Greece, most of them, socialists as right wing bastards should be put on an electric chair. Political criminals ruined this country. Greece is finished. They should simply declare bankruptcy. It would be less costly. And why in the hell anyways should they pay for the sins of greek banksters, corrupt illegetimate politicians and really stupid foreign lenders ?

re: the Vatican; Max and I watched a recent BBC series on the history of Christianity; the segment on the growth of the Catholic church makes you wonder if its adherents (including most of my family) realize not only how much of it was made up by some Emperor or other but how Imperial it is; even the matter of priests not permitted to have sex was just the Pope of that time not wanting any other dynasties to compete for land with his own

@MotherEarth:
I did not coin the term ‘nwo’ and I surely don’t have any controlling interests that you should set me as the proprietor with ‘my nwo’: I wonder why the 3% deficit to gdp is not repealed by the EU council. The ruling is at the heart of the Greek dilemma:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/jan/25/principled-europe-not-let-greece-bleed
It is not ‘in the best interests of Greece’ to comply to the 3% rule while at the self-same time basel mandates are destroying their domestic market. “Hypocrisy as a form of governance”, as Hannan pointed out, seems to grease the motors running the EU council:
