“The emir “represents one of the smallest countries in the Arab world … but Qatar has been one of the loudest voices condemning Syria”.

Having huge US military bases in Qatar might explain what’s going on here. When we were doing films for Al Jazeera English people would comment that they were ‘the enemy.’ This is laughable. Qatar and Saudi Arabia are vassal states of the US. Al Jaz English started out as an independent voice in the region but after a few years become a mouthpiece for the US state department. The irony is that my insiders at AJE told me that AJE’s switch from independence to “Fox News with Camels” was an attempt to break into the US market. HAHAHA. AJE has been denied widescale distribution in the US and lost their independence as well. According to recent data published by media watchers, RT (Russia Today) is now the go-to network for the Arab world as well as every other region in the world looking for independent media.

Huffpo Live provides PR spinning platform for bankster scheme exposed on Keiser Report!

Stacy Summary: In response to an expose by Teri Buhl, first discussed on Keiser Report, Huffington Post’s new online tv station provided a bizarre PR spinning platform that included John Cusack of all people to whitewash a dodgy eminent domain scheme in California:

What I find it interesting about this piece is the fact that both Cusack and Vlahoplus make it sound like their plan calls for eminent domain to be used on distressed or abandoned homes and not for non-distressed performing mortgages as Teri Buhl, Max Keiser, and Felix Salmon have pointed out.

Second, Cusack and Vlahoplus gloss over the legality of such a scheme. As Buhl, Keiser and Salmon have pointed out, this eminent domain scheme if enacted could very well be ruled unconstitutional by the federal courts.

Watch the Keiser Report coverage of the eminent domain for banksters story here (from 13.00):

US Student Loan Default Rate Inching Up, While Silver Price and Student Debt Soar Already 500% in 21st Century

The percentage of student borrows who defaulted on their federal student loans within two years of their first payment jumped to 9.1% in fiscal year 2011, up from 8.8% the previous years, according to Department of Education data released Friday.

As the student debt burden has exploded in this 21st century, the “century of change,” silver has increased its price level by a similar percentage. With student debt continuing to spiral, the silver price rise seems determined to persist. In the coming years, as this student debt transforms the life of the college grad in his and her professional dealings and personal lives, interest in silver as a hedge against austerity will increase. With student debt over $1 trillion already, could it be a  source of future, soaring silver demand in the United States? That is, if it is not already.

Iran’s Imminent Nuclear Weapon

Here’s some context behind the claims that Iran will imminently possess a nuclear weapon.

It started a long time ago (but not, unfortunately, in a galaxy far, far away):

1984: Soon after West German engineers visit the unfinished Bushehr nuclear reactor, Jane’s Defence Weekly quotes West German intelligence sources saying that Iran’s production of a bomb “is entering its final stages.”US Senator Alan Cranston claims Iran is seven years away from making a weapon.

Seven years away? And did they have a bomb in 1991? Continue reading →
