    Sure, but Bonn was really asking whether he’s an Alien Agent !
    ;-)

  7. @GB …The claim was made in today’s Times, which also reported that News Corporation’s Management and Standards Committee (MSC) – set up to investigate alleged criminal acts by journalists – decided that “the sources’ names or information that would help to identify them should be disclosed to police because they were not ‘legitimate sources’”.

    I remember posting this here years ago …

    Just imagine if the moon had ROTATED , rather than remaining fixed facing the earth !
    There would probably never have been any talk of “Gods” … and science would probably have advanced by thousands of years already !

  17. PS@… and the moon keeps the same face pointing to the earth … since thousands of years ! Mirror^2

    That’s easily explained. The Moon is tidally locked to the Earth. Basically the heaviest side of the Moon points toward the Earths center:

    Tidal locking (or captured rotation) occurs when the gravitational gradient makes one side of an astronomical body always face another; for example, the same side of the Earth’s Moon always faces the Earth. A tidally locked body takes just as long to rotate around its own axis as it does to revolve around its partner. This synchronous rotation causes one hemisphere constantly to face the partner body. Usually, at any given time only the satellite is tidally locked around the larger body, but if the difference in mass between the two bodies and their physical separation is small, each may be tidally locked to the other, as is the case between Pluto and Charon. This effect is employed to stabilize some artificial satellites. from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_locking

    YEah, clearly the nodding and winky, winky with Neil Armstrong when he had to answer the ‘Could you see stars from the Moon?’ question. Collins takes over the question from Neil and confirms while he was not even next to Neil on the Moon!? Buzz should be the one standing Neil by in this particular question logically speaking, not Collins!

    Question to Collins; How did the coupling go? Collins: “Like on a rail.” Yeah, Collins cause you actually were on a Holywood prop, weren’t ya!?

  22. RT Reports Americans need 3 billion $ to continue the Iraq war, the one that they have already won.

    U.S. energy giant Exxon Mobil Corp. will be barred from Iraq’s fourth oil-and-gas licensing auction, scheduled for May, because of the deals it struck with the country’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, a spokesman for Iraq’s Deputy Prime Minster for Energy Hussein al-Shahristani said Monday.

    The move comes as Iraq’s central government struggles to assert its authority over energy deals struck within its borders amid a continued lack of legislation for the sector. The Iraqi government considers as invalid any deals signed with the Kurdistan Regional Government, or KRG, which in turn states that all and any deals it has signed comply with the country’s new constitution.

    Some of the blocks in the Exxon-KRG deal are in a hotly contested oil-rich territory claimed by both the central government and the KRG, stretching from the Iranian border to the east and to the Syrian border in the northwest.

    Baghdad has already blacklisted companies that maintain deals with the Kurds, excluding them from working elsewhere in Iraq. Among those is New York, N.Y.-based Hess Corp., which was barred last year from competing in the fourth energy auction.

    However, Adnan Al Janabi, chairman of the Oil and Energy Committee in the Iraqi Council of Representatives, last week told Dow Jones Newswires that the Oil Ministry doesn’t have the legal authority to blacklist Exxon over its Kurdistan contracts.

    An ExxonMobil media officer in the U.S. declined to comment.

    NICOSIA – Cyprus said Monday it has launched a second licensing round for offshore oil and gas exploration blocks despite the strong objections of Turkey.

    The tender comes after U.S. company Noble Energy Inc. (ExxonMobil), the only firm to be awarded acreage in the first bid round, in 2007, announced a huge discovery in Block 12, 180 kilometers off the island’s south coast last year.

    Neighbor Israel has discovered even bigger finds in its own fields close to Cyprus waters, and both countries are now discussing energy cooperation, as underlined by Thursday’s visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    But Turkey has protested strongly against the Cyprus government’s search for offshore oil and gas, branding it “illegal.” Unlike the rest of the international community, Ankara doesn’t recognize the government in Nicosia, which it brands a Greek Cypriot administration. Instead, it is the only government in the world to recognize the breakaway state which Turkish Cypriot leaders declared in the north of the island in 1983.

    In early February, Uzbek ambassador to Belgium Bakhtiyar Gulyamov also presented his credentials to Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.
    As it was previously reported, the Uzbek Senate (upper house of parliament) appointed Bakhtiyar Gulyamov as the country’s ambassador to Belgium in December 2009. In early March 2010, Bakhtiyar Gulyamov presented his credentials to Albert II, King of the Belgians.

    Baymyrad Hojamuhamedov, Deputy Chairman (Oil & Gas), Cabinet of Ministers will lead a 15 strong Turkmen State Delegation to Germany for the Turkmenistan Oil & Gas Road Show, to be held in the Hotel Adlon Kempinski, Berlin, 14 ‐ 15 March 2012.
    Following the success of the inaugural Turkmenistan Oil & Gas Road Show held in Singapore, 3 ‐ 4 March 2011, the second edition of the event in Berlin will focus on investment opportunities for international companies in Turkmenistan’s oil and gas industry.
    The last audit of Turkmenistan’s gas reserves, announced at the 16th Turkmenistan International Oil & Gas Conference in November 2011 in Ashgabat, confirmed that the Galkynysh gas field is now considered the second largest in the World in terms of reserves.
    Turkmenistan pays particular attention to the development of the oil & gas industry. Existing
    favourable investment climate in Turkmenistan is demonstrated by the multi‐billion dollar contracts awarded to international companies.
    The conference agenda will focus on attracting large‐scale investments, innovative technologies, and expertise for the advancement of oil and gas industry of Turkmenistan as well as strengthen international cooperation. Turkmenistan Oil & Gas Road Show will present an opportunity for companies to get up to date information regarding Turkmenistan’s oil & gas sector and its future development, meet with decision makers of our country, and establish valuable contacts for further business cooperation.

    Its a question of exposure if the camera were exposing for the stars the subject on the moon would be vastly over exposed. They did’nt have high dynamic range imaging then:-

    But it makes for a laugh inbetween painting and pain reading all this stuff.

  26. They are not dumbing down America on purpose?? I turned him off after he said that…the facts are overwhelming they are dumbing us down…See ya, this guy is not learned.

  27. flicks

    First of all; The question was if Neil could see stars standing on the Moon not if it’s exposed on some film emulsion. The time it takes for Neil to answer this simpel question after just being back from the Moon shows you it’s all theatre.

    Secondly: Have you ever asked youself the question about what Moon temps actualy do to a Hasselblad (with no major adjustments made mind you) not to mention the film emulsion?

    It’s not just America, IMHO. The NWO is trying to deliberately dumb down people all around the world.

    ”You must have been home schooled :-)

    Ironically, no. I go to law school and when it comes to EU and economy related classes, I can’t even begin to describe the level of propaganda and brainwashing that they inflict on unsuspecting students.

    Luckily, I and others have the free internet, until the NWO passes SOPA/PIPA/ACTA/whatever, that is.

  35. Gold Bullet…I was part of the indocrtintion system also…I dont know how some of us made it thru …maybe because we listened to the Floyd? You are ok GB, nice meeting you.
    Its interesting when we can see the propaganda huh? Same with tv, I dont have tv reception, but I watch vhs movies when I need to escape. The vhs movies are interesting because you can actually learn from them…the elite share their plans if you are smart enough to know their language…and they put their plans in the movies.

  36. @stephen

    ”…maybe because we listened to the Floyd?”

    Maybe, since you have to have more than two brain cells to understand their music. ;-)

  39. Youri Karma – I’m real qualified as a photographer and have known and spoken to one photo editor who had viewed the actual film . We all decided long long ago it is real . Here a just a few things wrong with that text

    Re Stanley Kubrick

    “The main rule of thumb in photography is that the larger the format of the film the less depth of field. For instance, 16mm film has a large depth of field. 35mm has a smaller depth of field and 70 mm (which Stanley was using in 2001 as were all of the astronaut-photographers in the Apollo missions) has an incredibly small depth of field.

    What this means is that it is virtually impossible for two objects that are far apart in the lens of a 70mm camera to be in the same plane of focus. One of the two objects will always be out-of-focus.”

    Nope depends on focal length of lens, aperture and amount of light. I have loads of 6×7 negatives shots on the move from a Makina Plaubel 6×7 from the 80′s to prove otherwise .

    http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/plaubel.htm

    “In order to create these desert backgrounds Kubrick sent a photographic team to Spain to shoot 8” X 10” Ektachrome slides. These slides were then projected via the Front Screen Projection system onto the Scotchlite screen. The actors in ape costumes stood in front of the screen acting out the script.

    If you watch 2001 on DVD you can actually see the ‘seams’ of the screen occasionally behind the gyrating apes.”

    If you have detailed practical use of a 10×8 camera and the use of 8” X 10” Ektachrome film ( I have) you would know the rest.

    “you can actually see the ‘seams’ of the screen”

    And what’s this re ‘depth of field’ err shouldnt it be out of focus due to 70mm film ?

  40. Yeh, that was a great comment from the guest but who will be the next John Brown? Who is going to make that sacrifice? Or as Scooby Doo would say, “a Rackrifice!”.

    So much packed into the Stacy segment that I cannot process it at the moment. But this KR gets to keep its AAA+ rating ;–) Ah yes, basically the banks are bailed out again and get away with fraud…again. Looks like we will have to burn down the forest to weed out these guys Oo

    ”Grammy telecast gets biggest audience since 1984”

    Yuck! Oh well, I guess the sheeple need their dose of ”extravagant” award ceremonies that is produced by the Hollywood copyright cartel.

    As Anonymous wrote on Twitter: ”…Greece burns… the US watches the Grammys.”

    That kind of ”entertainment” makes want to #KillHollywood.

  42. Just a little aside that someone may find interesting concerning the John Brown Moment.

    The American Civil War is not over. The South has been suppressed, but pro slavery people are still there. The Confederate flag is still displayed openly. As an abolitionist, I find this extremely offensive.

    I have been told by many Southerners that the slaves actually liked being slaves. Some of these proponents of slavery are poor white trash people who’s ancestors never owned slaves, They were slaughtered by the thousands in that stupid war, but still they remained loyal to the local “Colonel”.

    What’s Wrong With Kansas? They bought the racists code words for black single mothers. “Welfare Queens” completely fed in to humans picking order and scapegoating instincts.

    Funny cause my friend is a photographic specialist with a microscopic view of detail. If I am to buy a LCD screener I always bring him cause he imediately spots the dead pixel(s) if any there.

    We clearly could spot the very obvious reflection of the Front Screen Projection as desdribed by Jay Weidner as used by Stanley Kubrick to fake the Apollo Moon landings. http://exopolitics.blogs.com/exopolitics/2009/10/how-faking-the-moon-landings-nearly-cost-stanley-kubrick-his-marriage-and-his-life-1.html

    We could spot these very obvious reflection of the Front Screen Projection on Original NASA pictures taken from there own website!!!

    Did you know that;

    - All original Apollo 11 footage got lost! :shock:

    - The Moonlanding footage that people watched around the globe was indirect footage taken from televesion screen with a television studio camera pointed at it . I repeat; Not from the direct source :shock:

  46. Ron Paul is our John Brown moment…

    RP is for a gold standard, a previous tool of banker enslavement.

    Jesus gave us the solution nearly 2000 years ago in Matthew 22:16-22 – separate government and private money supplies.

    Still, I may vote for RP and hope he can learn. Or maybe I’ll just sit on my hands come election day if he wins the nomination.

  47. Shine on, you crazy diamond!! :-)

  48. The guest says there is no deliberate attempt by the news media to keep the people in the US ignorant. I’m surprised that Max didn’t mention just one recent event which proves otherwise: SOPA/PIPA. Why do I mention SOPA/PIPA? Because as anyone who has followed the debate over SOPA/PIPA knows, there has been absolutely NO coverage of SOPA/PIPA on MSM until 18.01.2012. and the great protest of many major sites. Until 18.01.2012. there hasn’t been ANY, let me repeat that, ANY mention of SOPA/PIPA. Just based on that anyone can see that the MSM, on order by their NWO owners and masters, that there is a campaign to dumb down the sheeple and to keep them ignorant and not-informed.

  49. @flicks

    And I am not talking any photographic specialist but one who handless 6X17 mm photo camera’s. This one for instance http://www.dannyburk.com/images/fuji-617-1.jpg

    You gotto ask youself; What do Moon temps actually do to photo emulsion and all the radiation bombarding on it? Ever heard of The Van Allen Belt ?

The Pharisees went out and immediately began conspiring with the Herodians against Him, as to how they might destroy Him. Mark 3:4-6 New American Standard Bible (NASB) [bold added]

  59. evolutis…newt is tired of this “older” planet, he wants a new younger healthy planet lol.. :-)

  60. Youri Carma – there are problems re the moon film – the way the astronauts are moving – the tracking shot of the capsule taking off from the moon is technical difficult to achieve-machanically- even on earth yet they do it near perfect off the moon half a second before the camera pulls to a wide and pans up. Could be totally real but I’d bet on that shot not working first and only time.

    The stills we decided are real however they may-well not have been taken on the moon. That is totally possible but most of the technical arguments put forward do not stand up.

    I used one of those fuji wide camera’s – great, construction companies loved um but you needed a lab with a 10×8 enlarger to print before scanners photoshop and inkjet.

  61. Flicks and Youri…maybe we should forget the moon landing and stick to Building 7?

    These terrorist attacks are too convenient for Israel. It does not make sense why Iran would start bombing and assassinating people around the globe. That is Mossad’s modus operandi and they have been recruiting Iranians to carry out attacks. Iran backs regional terrorist groups.

    So there is a higher probability that these are Israeli false flags.

  91. Here are the opening paragraphs to the article that I cannot link (fume!)…you will need to goto EndTheLie and search for “False flag? Examining the attacks on Israeli targets in India and Georgia” for the full article.

    by Madison Ruppert

    The first thing I noticed when reading the reports of the bombings of targets remotely related to Israel was that one of the attacks had all of the hallmarks we have come to associate with assassinations carried out by agencies like the Israeli Mossad, American CIA, etc. and/or their proxies like the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) and Jundallah.

    In this article we will also be looking at the possible motives for the attacks, if the attacks came out of Iran as individuals like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have claimed, or if indeed they were false flag attacks carried out by Israel itself.

    The piece of information that set alarm bells ringing immediately was the mention of a magnetic device being used to attach the explosive to the minivan carrying an unnamed Israeli diplomat’s wife to pick up her children at the American Embassy School in New Delhi.

    Breaking Bad – How to Topple Banks and Oil Giants

    Green energy proponents fail to understand why the poor and soon-to-be-poor middle class don’t want a bird in the bush for the two in their hand. Money is dirty energy producing C02, C04 and N20. That’s how we live. The Greens want a massive wealth transfer from rich to poor – not bloody likely. Let’s end the standoff, there is another way.

    Banks use the American dollar as the world reserve currency for protecting Gulf oil fields. Their greatest fear is loss of the U.S. dollar as a hegemonic power. If we #occupy a new electronic world currency, we can beat the banks and oil giants at their own game. Bitcoin has already become a new world black market sensation. After all, what is money except for the little blips on computers. Money is electronic. It has a value because the world agrees it does. The new currency would be democratic and open based on the production of green energy. If green energy is bought and sold in a new world electronic currency, we could start a new gold rush. We could also use this currency in trading organic food. But, we have to get started.

    We are standing the middle of the collapse of a failed economy based on the private creation of currency and credit. It’s time to grow up and leave the old world behind. The alternative is an endless war of attrition in retreat to the poles.

    The famous investor warned that investors in gold would be left with egg on their face when the price eventually crashed.

    “Bubbles blown large enough inevitably pop,” he said. “And then the old proverb is confirmed once again: “What the wise man does in the beginning, the fool does in the end.” from http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/investing/gold/9074670/Warren-Buffett-gold-has-no-value.html

    the edison vault was its foundation , it was large enuf for the weight but the “footprint” extended out side the original footings , wich were poured earlyer based on a difrent typ of loading (heavier per sq. foot). this was done by using “trusses” to transfer the wieght of the structure from the part of the footprint outside back on to the foundation. this is fine as long as the trusses were intact what you cant see (unless you go to the efort to look up the stills) is that the far side of the building is mostly gone right to the core of the building as part of one of the towers fell on it (but it still looks good for that camara shot in the vid dont it) on top of the top of a building falling on it!! there was a fire, probly from the edison high voltage substation vault under the center wich caused the trusses to deform…… that building was toast the next worse damaged structure was salvaged , and there still working on it to this day as far as i know!!! they would have been better off demoing that one too!! (this is not a guess iv seen the blue prints and know how to read them. in fact most articals on bldg.7 show the truss detail at some point, it is the funny looking stick drawing off to the side that no one gets and every one ignores

    the gov. intentionaly muddied up the watters to get you all to worrie over super thermite and wether there were even planes at all …..ect. in order that the public do the coverup work for them wile they ran off to cash the insurence checks and start ww3 every one is still arguing the WHAT of it!!!!!!!and to this day there has been little to no intrest as to the WHY of it wich is what acculy matters. the “what” is in the past the “why” is now running the planet!

    the costa concordia was a simalar “disaster”with out the need for a public kick off for ww3 it was called an “accedent” just days after as everyone was pointing out that the captain was a dildo disney cruises rolled a brand new one off the line to take its place , it is all under the carnaval cruise flag !! did you see any of the shots of the inside befor the accdent? lol so OLD and out of date badly in need of at least a decore change if not a full refit , the orignal captain had just retired(he is the guy who made the sucessfull pass the year before as a retirement stunt, and the new guy was such a chump he wrecked the boat with in a year ) i can’t beleeve there was nothing in this dudes bio. wich would have maybe said he was NOT the guy to be driving granny and the newly weds around crowded waters ………unless you wanted your boat sunk ,not shure they planed on him beaching it and making a huge expencive mess tho

  140. Absolutely correct when you say he who holds the bonds makes the rules. dm4

    Yep. Sovereign debt is the ultimate scam. It’s a way for the rich to not only not pay their fair share in taxes but to be paid usury for not doing so! And if the central bank creates the money to buy the bonds then the result is at least twice as inflationary as pure money printing since the sovereign bonds are a form of money too. That’s easy to see in the case of a thought experiment in which a single bank lends its newly created money to a sovereign government:

    1) The sovereign government spends that new money into circulation.
    2) The bank can lend at least the amount of the government bond without even using fractional reserves!

    What a wicked combination banks and the government make!

    The idea being that any gov can issue a bond, have it captured and only worry about the current interest….and if you haven’t noticed, the push seems to be for ever lower initial rates (let the specs bet on aftermarket rates, who cares)…..

    Now if you have a debt at x and increase your debt by 30% while dropping your current cost by 10%, and then roll a portion of your debt into better terms…..well, is the shit any where near the fan?

That may sound like cowardice, but it’s the honest truth. I hope I’m not flamed on your site or scolded.

  152. Life is difficult … difficult we can handle, unsustainable takes “Life” off the front end of this sentence. What we have here is a functionally obsolete system, that cannot survive our technological capabilities when coupled with greed. This is not your grandfathers’ episodic, economic fuck up; this is a quite different dynamic. There seems to be this overriding level of consciousness that promotes finger pointing and blocks specific action. … we are reduced to cheer leading our demise unless we are willing to take this on.

    We need to acknowledge and respect everyone’s existence, this monster pushes us all around. We are related to our both the plutocracy and political leaders; it is the system, not the DNA that is divisive. If anyone on these pages has 2 billion dollar net worth, and i have a 5 billion net worth, we can both buy the technology to take power from one another; wealth is greed, is divisive. The word’s leadership are belief junkies, when one monetary belief sours they look for an immediate replacement. The replacement belief will always be flawed, when handcuffed with an antiquated monetary centerpiece. This is an undertaking that only we can take on; we need to show them the way as citizens of our planet. If the process does not facilitate the transfer of honest information we outright reject it.

  156. @Flopot Many may have forgotten this but Madmood’s sentiments are not any different (more than likely) than his parents generation. Iran was high on the list of favored nations of the 3rd Reich. History is just repeating.

    HK is always insightful but the never ending question of why Americans don’t seem to get it might be because America is a nation of extroverts who don’t often reflect on much of anything. If they do finally get it the response is likely to be in the form of passive resistance. It’s easier and does not take much energy nor risk. I am beginning to think our AG was correct in his criticism of Americans. No one even blinked when he made his indictment so why not push forward with the agenda.

  157. @flow pot sorry like i said it is all in the photo stills, all hq looking in from the trade tower side prior to the “pull order” you can SEE the internal damage. that coupled with the accual problems that the trussing represented for the load transfer to the too small footings closes the case , did your expert SEE the photos or just the vidio of the collaps be cause my own first reaction to seeing the drop was same as his. it took a bit more effort to get to the still photos and looking at the structure and its inherent weakness to see that it was not what it looked like.

    people who have not worked on building these structures do not understand how ……..fragile they are or that the methods used at the “trade center” and then all over the planet are signifigently difrent than say, the empire state building. in that like the planes that hit them they had a “service life” and it was “up”, and the bills for demoing them would have rebankerupted good old new york and anyone eles assocated with them !! that is why the seeds were sown in afganistan and then they just left the door open and wala the ship hit a rock and sank just like they needed it to……………………… and that is the truly evil genius partof all this it is that exactly what we all saw happen is how they “aranged” it with no need for exotic bull shit ……….just knock the fucking things down with fully loaded jet liners and let the chips and bodies land (or not) where they may just as long as the check cashes were all good!! “welcome to the new world order” those suckers on the cruis ship were lucky , corprate was not pleased he managed to beach that floting money pit they wanted to put that thing on the botom with no clean up to fuck up the botom line any further and if people drown well what was it max was saying in the vid “that is what we have lawyers for”

  158. @ Flopot & twixtandtween

    I disagree with this Ahmadinejad is a moderate secularist. He is the small squeaky hardly heard voice of reason in Iran.

    Israel’s aggressive posture towards Iran is a huge bonus for the Mullah’s and particularly the IRG (Iran Revolutionary Guard)

    To claim that he is somehow a Nazi, and disregarding Mossadegh and Iran contra which blows away any argument that Israel or the United States or Britain have some kind of moral high ground is really a mute point.

    What is happening in Syria right now is a good example of how these countries have treated the Middle East.

    The world is turning upside down, the balance of power is shifting to Asia, and on the way down we can expect the United States to scratch and bite like he old whore it is.

    Probably the most damaging thing for the US has been the monarchist stooges the Clintons. Hilary being the worst. This family has always worked for Buckingham Palace.
    Even that hideous frankenchrist creation Chelsea Clinton had a Royal Wedding. It was Sludge Willie who gave the only non US citizen a state funeral and she also got him elected as President. Pamela Churchill Harriman was certainly a spy for the UK at some time.

    Spot on! Both of you!

    Have been following shows etc.
    Not much time on hand to write.

    Tried to pich bitcoins today. “Offering” myself to clean a boat for ‘a coin. To see how things would play out in practise exchanging labor for “something new”. Btw; I don’t know howmuch one bit coin is in uspaper… In my case; I first have to “sell” bit coin to “earn” one).

    Lang stoey short; I litterally stepped in dog poo. :/. It found it akward to start my “pitch” with this new gained odure… next time!

    Something else I wanted to share with ya’ll is that I’m now the proud owner af a Federal Reserve “Contaminated Currency Kit”. It comes with purple gloves, and everything …no mask.
    This came about when I wanted to exchange molted paper money into fresh paper slips. FYI: paper money in an envelpe, in a wet enviroment, in tropical weather gets … mold! I find it more than ethical to trade in a currency that does not give the recipiant a dirty hand. I slamed a coin on the desk! Asking why the hell jpm can’t just give me coins, they don’t get moldy ;) , if they don’t except THEIR OWN vouchers! Two modern slaves worth of paper currenc they deemed “unexceptable and; sorry sir it’s gone”?!?

    … blood pressure, ray, blood pressure… (hic)

    anyway; JPM doesn’t except their own vouches, allthough everyone agreed they were “real”.
    Long story short… “policy change the last couple of months, bl bla bla…”. And I signed up for the “contaminated currency DIY kit”.

    :D
    Price less!

  162. Collateral Damage (Part 2): The Subprime Crisis and the TerroristAttacks on September 11, 2001
    By E.P. Heidner
    ” Abstract: The U.S. Subprime and global financial crises of 2008 was the direct result of a covert monetary policy implemented by the U.S. financial institutionalcaretakers of the World War II Black Eagle Gold Fund. Major growth in this fund occurred in 1986 when the Reagan/Bush administration ousted Ferdinand Marcos and confiscated the Philippines holdings of Japanese pre-WWII treasury,buried in the Philippines due to the U.S. Naval blockade of Japanese ports. Not being able to publicly acknowledge the illegal confiscation of multiple nationaltreasuries, U.S. officials and their banker-agents have released major portions of this fund to the money market in excess of monetary demand, expanding themoney supply by $3.5 to $7 trillion. The individuals responsible for releasing thisgold were also responsible for deliberately opening the subprime mortgagemarket to national banks, thus creating inflationary demand in the high risk,subprime housing market. In addition to the ‘coincidence’ that virtually all of thetroubled mortgages which are at the source of the 2008 economic crisis seem tocome from a timeframe and monetary growth spurt linked to the ‘9/11 bond dump’ this report will document that the primary source of funds for the liar’sloans and troubled subprime loans comes from banks that are in lock-step withthe covert funding operations. Given that these same individuals covertly financed the collapse of the ruble in 1991 using these same funds, and then orchestrated the buy-out of key Russian industries for pennies on the dollar, this analysis provides evidence that a similar gambit is being made for the takeover of key U.S.industries.”

    I asked whether the original documents provided. The lawyer replied that he withdrew from the original scanned copy of the bond. Anyway, he thinks that was holding the original bonds, as in appearance it looks very old and has a yellowish-brown color. On the reverse side (the upper left side) there is specific watermark in a light green circle and a black eagle with arrows…”

  199. Chris Hedges: “…I suspect it [The National Defense Authorization Act] passed because the corporations, seeing the unrest in the streets, knowing that things are about to get much worse, worrying that the Occupy movement will expand, do not trust the police to protect them. They want to be able to call in the Army. And now they can.” Okay, but what incentive does the Army have to fight for them anymore? They came home from multiple tours in a useless war that we effectively lost only to face a devastated economy that cannot support them and their families. And the VA is doing their level best to deny soldiers the Federal benefits which are their right. It’s funny, Afghanistan was the tipping point for the old Soviet Union as well, and their soldiers were in much the same plight… Which is why the soldiers joined with civilians marching on the Kremlin instead of opening fire on them.

  200. What I mean to say is that our “leaders” here in the U.S. are acting rather like Hitler did in his Bunker in 1945, pushing around pieces that don’t even exist anymore on an imaginary battle map as a last-ditch refuge for their usual wishful thinking regarding their unearned privilege. Having stripped most police organizations of their pension funds through financial crime and stolen the futures of at least the enlisted ranks of the military, our oligarchs now understand that the police won’t help them when the time comes so now they imagine (or hope, really, because that’s what wishful thinking is) that the military which they also ripped off will come to their aid.

    In the end, we will suck the marrow from the bones of the 1%. Messing with people who have as much of an ingrained sense of entitlement as Americans do is very dangerous, because by and large we don’t really care. If somebody rips us off, we simply shoot them sooner or later if we are denied satisfaction through any other means. And why shouldn’t we feel so entitled? The propaganda machine we have lived under all our lives has spent enormous amounts of energy TELLING US that we are entitled to all these fancy rights and so forth!!! We have a whole cultural iconography devoted to raising up our Founding Fathers as revolutionary figures who won a war of freedom against an oppressive occupying force, nevermind how realistic that assessment of our history is, we still mostly believe in it. And the cynics among us, having seen that hard work and thrift are punished while Corzine-like criminality is rewarded, are EVEN MORE likely than those who consider themselves to be ethical human beings to start stringing up the people they believe are responsible for their problems. After all, our leaders just proved to us through their actions that the Rule of Law is null and void, so we might as well buy in to the Law of the Jungle as well since it seems to be the only game left in town.

    Make sense?
