Rallies held in America against Iran war

The demonstrations were staged on Saturday in 60 cities across the US, including Washington DC, New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and San Francisco. In Canada, protests were held in Calgary and Vancouver.

The protests were organized by a coalition of about 60 pacifist and human rights groups.

The demonstrators censured any possible military action against Iran, saying that any such measure could result in dire consequences including escalated war in the Middle East and Northern Africa.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

A memo to those in the bowels of power in DC and Tel Aviv who think that an attack on Iran would be a dandy idea, I must very strongly caution you to be careful what you wish for.

Of course, it hasn't been covered by corporate US media, but Russian and Chinese officials have gone on record, stating that if there is an attack against Iran, they will join the military conflict on Iran's side.

So, if this harebrained, hamfisted attack against Iran goes forward, this will not be a regional conflict; it will be the beginning of World War III, pitting a nuclear-armed China and Russia against a nuclear-armed Israel and the US. The civilian and military casualties will be staggering.

And all of this over Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program which doesn't exist, as every single IAEA to date inspection has proven?!?

Somebody, somewhere has to have several screws loose in the reasoning department to be cheerleading such a a plan.

Super Bowl Sunday and the Material, Kabala Girl.

I think to myself that it is possible The Super Bowl halftime show could be worse. They could have Lady Gaga instead of The Material Slave Girl. Yes, The Material Slave Girl is something of a historian. She wants to go in chains to darkest Egypt, even though Darkest Egypt has been long gone these many years. Egypt was originally called Kemet, or Kermit, if you like frogs. It seems they had a few of those at one time. These days, many Egyptians call the place Misr, which I think is short for Misery, which misery has come their way via the same highway most everyone else's misery comes from these days. But, of course, even with the incredible weight of evidence that proves this beyond any and all doubt, I must be wrong to believe my lying eyes.

Income Tax Is Evil. "What More Is Necessary To Make Us A Happy And A Prosperous People? Still One More Thing, Fellow Citizens A Wise And Frugal Government..." - Jefferson

"The Congress shall have
power to lay and collect taxes

source derived, without
apportionment among the
several States, and without
regard to any census or
enumeration."

TRANSLATION: ‘Your earnings are not exclusively your own; we have a claim on them, and our claim precedes yours; we will allow you to keep some of it because we recognize your need, not your right; but whatever we grant you for yourself is for us to decide.'

Tennessee begins to push back against NDAA tyranny

Madison Ruppert, Contributing Writer
Activist Post

Tennessee, the Volunteer State, has begun to push back against the tyranny that is the indefinite detention provisions contained in the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2012, better known simply as the NDAA.

The state bills currently being considered could be one of the most significant steps taken against the atrocious assault on our most essential liberties embodied by the indefinite detention provisions of the NDAA.

The Tenth Amendment Center (TAC), a group promoting states' rights (something which I think is an honorable cause in these dire times in which we have an increasingly centralized, authoritarian federal government) reports that two bills are to be considered in the Tennessee legislature...

Record 1.2 Million People Fall Out Of Labor Force In One Month, Labor Force Participation Rate Tumbles To Fresh 30 Year Low

A month ago, we joked when we said that for Obama to get the unemployment rate to negative by election time, all he has to do is to crush the labor force participation rate to about 55%. Looks like the good folks at the BLS heard us: it appears that the people not in the labor force exploded by an unprecedented record 1.2 million. No, that's not a typo: 1.2 million people dropped out of the labor force in one month! So as the labor force increased from 153.9 million to 154.4 million, the non institutional population increased by 242.3 million meaning, those not in the labor force surged from 86.7 million to 87.9 million.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

In other words, the government is lying again.

Why Urban, Educated Parents Are Turning to DIY Education

We think of homeschoolers as evangelicals or off-the-gridders who spend a lot of time at kitchen tables in the countryside. And it’s true that most homeschooling parents do so for moral or religious reasons. But education observers believe that is changing. You only have to go to a downtown Starbucks or art museum in the middle of a weekday to see that a once-unconventional choice “has become newly fashionable,” says Mitchell Stevens, a Stanford professor who wrote Kingdom of Children, a history of homeschooling. There are an estimated 300,000 homeschooled children in America’s cities, many of them children of secular, highly educated professionals who always figured they’d send their kids to school—until they came to think, Hey, maybe we could do better.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

If humanly possible, homeschooling is one of the greatest investments you can make in a child's life.

CIA Claims Release of its History of the Bay of Pigs Debacle Would “Confuse the Public.”

Late last year, the Central Intelligence Agency explained to Judge Kessler of the US District Court in Washington DC that releasing the final volume of its three-decade-old history of the 1961 Bay of Pigs debacle would “confuse the public,” and should be withheld because it is a “predecisional” document. Wow. And I thought that I had heard them all.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Every time the CIA uses the word "confuse", substitute "enlighten"

That military misadventure, known as the Bay of Pigs invasion, happened 50 bloody years ago, and they are still terrified that the US and the world would come to understand what a complete charlie fox-trot this was?!? A short memo to the CIA: it's way too late, folks: we already know!!!!!

The CIA's utter incompetence, from inception to execution, was completely on display for all the world to see!!

Indiana election chief found guilty of voter fraud

Indiana's top elections official could lose his job and his freedom after jurors convicted him of multiple voter fraud-related charges on Saturday, leaving in flux the fate of one of the state's most powerful positions.

Republican Secretary of State Charlie White has held on to his office for more than a year despite being accused of lying about his address on voter registration forms.

A Hamilton County jury found White guilty of six of seven felony charges, including false registration, voting in another precinct, submitting a false ballot, theft and two counts of perjury. He was acquitted on one fraud charge.

Counterfeit Value Derivatives: Follow the Bouncing Ball

With regulated economic markets, when an underlying real asset is impaired (i.e. the company in question is bankrupt, the mortgage has defaulted, etc.), market value is assessed, default insurance is paid up to replacement or full value, bond holders and stock holders make claims on remaining value and the account is closed. There is no need for bailouts because order and proportion of compensation has been established and everything is attached to the value of the underlying asset.

Florida Republican Stripped Of Senate Chairmanship For Opposing Prison Privatization Scheme

The biggest critic of a massive prison privatization scheme in Florida was stripped of his chairmanship of the Budget Subcommittee on Criminal and Civil Justice Appropriation for opposing Gov. Rick Scott’s (R) plan to outsource prison oversight to the lowest bidder.

Sen. Mike Fasano (R) is one of ten Senate Republicans who opposes the plan to give private, for-profit vendors control over 26 prisons, but his vocal criticism provoked retribution from one of the bill’s biggest supporters, Senate President Mike Haridopolos (R):

Amid the mounting tension, Senate President Mike Haridopolos refused to bring up the bill for debate, a sign that it faced defeat.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

The private prison lobby is one of the most powerful in this country, and the US has the highest number of incarcerated individuals in the developed world, unfortunately.

The Daily Beast disavows patriotic American’s website; Jeffrey Goldberg smears both as anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists

On January 30, The Daily Beast published an article entitled “Newt Gingrich’s Deep Neocon Ties Drive His Bellicose Middle East Policy.” In the well-researched piece on the Republican presidential hopeful’s ties to the Israel partisans who devised the influential “Clean Break” plan to destabilize the Middle East, Wayne Barrett warns:

If elected, Gingrich would be the first American president to emerge from the dark think-tank world born in the Reagan era that gave us the Iraq War and lusts now for an Iranian reprise.

Some time after its publication, The Daily Beast appended the following note to Barrett’s article:

GM foods not served in Monsanto cafeteria

The Independent newspaper reports that there is a notice in the cafeteria of the Monsanto pharmaceutical factory is High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, advising customers “as far as practicable, GM soya and maize (has been removed) from all food products served in our restaurant. We have taken the steps to ensure that you, the customer, can feel confident in the food we serve.”

Adrian Bebb with Friends of the Earth says the notice in the Buckinghamshire plant is hard to misinterpret. “The public has made its concerns about GM ingredients very clear – now it appears that even Monsanto’s own catering firm has no confidence in this new technology.”

If employees of Monsanto are turning up their noses at GM foods, this is a very clear lesson here for the rest of us!

Monsanto's got a place in government (video)

Michael Taylor is part of a revolving door at the FDA, where Monsanto Execs just come and go as they please. First, Michael R. Taylor was an assistant to the FDA commissioner. Then he left to work for a law firm in the 1980's to help gain FDA approval of Monsanto's artificial growth hormone (rGBH), which is directly linked to cancer. Then he became deputy commissioner of the FDA in 1991, and was later re-appointed to the FDA in 2009 by Obama. He is the food villain who tried his best to keep this "malignant milk of the turn of the century" from being labeled.

Michael Taylor is the epitome of everything Monsanto represents. Taylor is like a vehicle for Monsanto's patenting of seeds and global domination of farming. He implements the government's "favorable" agricultural biotech policies because it's much more of a financially sure shot to use RoundUp in food than to farm organically and ethically. If the investments aren't paying enough at the corporation, Execs just switch over to Federal Regulations and write some new Legislation based on "tainted research", which allows them to pile more toxins on the American public and bankroll off it when they flip back to the corporate side.

New book investigates influence of Israel lobby on free speech at Canadian universities

No Debate: The Israel Lobby and Free Speech at Canadian Universities
by Jon Thompson
(James Lorimer & Co,
2011;
$22.95)

Academic conferences don't usually muster public attention, but in 2009 the organizers of the blandly titled Israel/Palestine: Mapping Models of Statehood and Paths to Peace found themselves at the center of a media shit storm fuelled by the hysterical rhetoric of pro-Israel community groups and their supporters in the media. This reaction culminated in an unprecedented move by Conservative Minister of State Gary Goodyear to threaten the funding of Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) -- an arms-length agency created by an act of parliament -- if it did not commit itself to a review of the funding it had already awarded by an independent peer-review process.

Europeans should ask why they are to pay for an American-Israeli adventure in Iran during a time of unprecedented austerity, political analyst Chris Bambery told RT. Iran says it will definitely stop oil exports to "certain" European countries, while the decision to cut supplies to further EU states is still in discussion. This comes as Tehran's response to an EU oil embargo that was set to come into force on July 1.

Understanding the Ron Paul phenomenon

(*By Wayne Allyn Root) Ron Paul is a phenomenon many establishment politicians cannot understand. But as a leading Libertarian-conservative media personality, as well as the 2008 Libertarian Vice Presidential nominee, I completely understand this phenomenon, and I hope to solve the mystery here today at FoxNews.com.
* * *
Let me start with his #1 attribute. Ron Paul is RELENTLESS.

Secondly, while Ron Paul is not your traditional politician, and is painted by the media as extreme, the voters are starting to realize that it is the traditional status quo politicians that led us right into this economic Armageddon.

Lastly, we come to the true energy of the Ron Paul Revolution – the youth vote.

Public Education: The Foundation of the New World Order

LEWROCKWELL.COM: One of the most alluring temptations that face men is the desire to enter the inner ring. C. S. Lewis wrote a wonderful essay with this title. It should be part of every person's rite of passage into adulthood.

The desire to enter the inner ring is closely related to the desire to maintain a New World Order. There is always an institutional claimant to New World Order status. It is always structured in terms of a series of concentric rings. These rings are always vertical. They are part of a pyramid of power. They are best represented by a stepped pyramid.

NATO Versus Syria

by Philip Giraldi

Americans should be concerned about what is happening in Syria, if only because it threatens to become another undeclared war like Libya but much, much worse. Calls for regime change have come from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who several weeks ago predicted a civil war.

That is indeed likely if the largely secular and nationalist regime of Bashar al-Assad falls, pitting Sunni against Shia against Alawite. Indigenous Christians will be caught in the meat grinder. Ironically, many of the Christians in Damascus are Iraqis who experienced the last round of liberation in their own country and had to flee for their lives.

Sovereign Debt and "Triple A Ratings": The People's AAA : Audit, Action and Abolition of Neoliberal Economic Policies

AAA … three letters that ring like a sardonic laugh denoting the top credit rating given by the ratings agencies. A company or a State with an AAA rating is considered credit-worthy by lenders and speculators and can borrow at more favourable rates. But to obtain – or maintain – this symbolic grade, European governments will go to any lengths, including the application of austerity policies that place their economies under the diktat of creditors. The AAA is a front that conceals social regression on a grand scale, human rights violations, and blood, sweat and tears for the most vulnerable citizens.

US criticizes Russia, China on Syria

Sun Feb 5, 2012 5:31AM GMT
The United States has criticized Russia and China for vetoing a UN Security Council resolution on Syria calling for Syrian President Bashar al Assad to resign and hand over power to opposition leaders.

“The United States is disgusted that a couple of members of this Council continue to prevent us from fulfilling our sole purpose,” US Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice claimed.

"For months, this council has been held hostage by a couple of members," Rice added.

Russia and China were the only members of the UN council that rejected the anti-Syria resolution, endorsed by the US and its Arab allies. Russia and China had vetoed a similar resolution on Syria in October.

US to require disclosure of fracking fluids on public land

The U.S. government will require natural gas drillers to disclose which chemicals they use in hydraulic fracturing on public lands, according to draft rules crafted by the Interior Department.

Russia and China brave Arab and Western fury to veto UN resolution on Syria

It was the two countries’ second use of their security council vetoes to shield the Syrian leader from UN condemnation since the uprising against his rule began last year, and came despite worldwide outrage at the slaughter of up to 330 people in Homs during the previous night.

The five hour shelling of the rebellious city’s civilian population, in which 99 women and children were reportedly among those killed, was the worst single act of violence in the 11 month-long uprising.

Russia said it could not support a resolution backing an Arab League plan for a swift transition of power and elections. It was understood to have demanded a last-minute change dropping a call, already agreed by Syria in November, for tanks and artillery to be withdrawn from the streets.

Of the voting members, Russia and China were the only ones to vote against the draft, but as permanent members of the UNSC they both hold veto power, and the resolution has not been passed as a result.

The news follows days of heated political debates in the UNSC, with many members supporting a Western-backed draft calling for foreign nations to put an end to what some called the “Syrian killing machine.”

Russia and China were the only permanent Security Council members opposing the draft, reminding others that it was not their place to intervene in another country's domestic affairs.

For more than 50 years the U.S. dollar has been the chief monetary instrument used by the nations of the world to facilitate trade involving commodities such as petroleum, manufactured products, and gold. But the times are changing and many of these nations, with China at the forefront, are finalizing trade agreements that utilize only their own currencies.

HSBC Laundering Billions?

A former employee of one of the world's largest international banks has provided WND with more than 1,000 pages of documents, including customer account ledgers for dozens of companies through which the financial institution was laundering money each month, according to the whistleblower. "I found many accounts through which hundreds of thousands of dollars were being flowed as a conduit on a monthly basis," John Cruz, an account relationship manager who worked in the HSBC southern New York region, told WND.

AP: Integrity of Reactor No. 4 building a major concern among experts — Collapse of spent fuel pool could be even worse than 3 reactor meltdowns

TEPCO spokesman Junichi Matsumoto [...] said officials are investigating the cause of that leak, but that it was unlikely the pipe had been loosened by the many aftershocks that have hit the plant.

The structural integrity of the damaged Unit 4 reactor building has long been a major concern among experts because a collapse of its spent fuel cooling pool could cause a disaster worse than the three reactor meltdowns.

How America made its children crazy

The American elite, to be sure, does not subject its own offspring to this kind of digital treatment. New York City's most exclusive private schools, the ones with an acceptance rate lower than Ivy League colleges, do things the old fashioned way. Brearley School, sometimes considered the best of the private schools for girls, requires every student to learn an instrument and play in the orchestra (the only other New York school with this requirement is the Rudolf Steiner School). The Dalton School teaches chess to every student. Acoustic instruments, classical music, and ancient games with wooden pieces teach concentration span.

Freed American: Egyptian kidnappers 'were very nice'

An American held hostage in Egypt told NBC News on Friday that she was “not at all afraid” of the Bedouin tribesmen who captured her and two others and that she planned to carry on with her travels in the Middle East.

"They were very nice. I was not at all afraid,” said the woman, who requested she only be identified by her initials E.P. The woman spoke briefly on the telephone shortly after her release. She had been held captive for several hours.

“They kept on reassuring us that we will be fine. ... They treated us like family,” she said.

On Saturday, February 18th, from 3 to 5pm, we will be hosting a Home Defense Empowerment Workshop at the First Congregational Church in Long Beach, 241 Cedar Avenue.

The first intention of this workshop is to provide the resources necessary for a motivated homeowner to successfully defend their homes. This is the right workshop for those homeowners interested in actively fighting against the predatory and fraudulent practices of the lending institutions attempting to take their homes. It is also the right workshop for any friend, family member, activist or person interested in learning more about home defense and the Occupy Homes movement.

Florida Republican Stripped Of Senate Chairmanship For Opposing Prison Privatization Scheme

GEO Group, a private prison company based in Boca Raton and one of the largest contributors to the Florida Republican Party in 2010, gave over $11,000 to the campaigns of 14 of the 20 members of the Budget Committee that approved the privatization bill. They also gave the maximum $25,000 to Gov. Scott’s inaugural fund.

The Corrections Corporation of America, the nation’s largest corrections company, also has close connections to GOP statehouses across the country. The company has spent $373,000 in political contributions in Florida since 2003, over 60 percent of which have gone to Republicans.

The Law That Never Was

The federal government rests its authority to collect income tax on the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution—the federal income tax amendment—which was allegedly ratified in 1913.

"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

—The 16th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America

After an extensive year-long nationwide research project, William J. Benson discovered that the 16th Amendment was not ratified by the requisite three-fourths of the states and that nevertheless Secretary of State Philander Knox had fraudulently declared ratification.

TAXATION BY MISREPRESENTATION

Based upon his 30+ years of research, John has laid out a persuasive argument, with numerous authorities cited in support, that traces the tax processes and procedures employed by the IRS today and lays them side by side with the English processes. By this process, he demonstrates a compelling case that the income tax process used today by the IRS must be based upon one of the only two processes used by the king in 1791, both of which are cited by the Murray Court, namely, either the finding of an inquisition, aka an inquest of office (administrative hearing, in today’s terms), or a statute staple process (an ancient form of contract enacted by Parliament for the benefit of merchants).

John Bolton Doesn’t Think It’s In The United States’ ‘Interest To Stay Out’ Of An Israel-Iran War

“I don’t think we will be able to stay out and I don’t think it’s in our interest to stay out,” Bolton exclaimed. “The use of force against Iranian programs is a decidedly unattractive option. It’s risky with significant consequences, but the choice that we face is not between life as it is today compared to life after an Israeli military strike. It’s life after that strike compared to an Iran with nuclear weapons.”

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Mr. Bolton. What if Iran had a nuclear weapon? What will they do with it? Attack the US? Hardly, The US has the world's largest nuclear arsenal. Attack Israel? Israel has the world's sixth largest nuclear arsenal. The only thing Iran achieves with a nuclear weapon is deterrence, which means the US is no longer able to invade, conquer and steal the resources of Iran, as it has already done to so many other nations these last ten years.

And might I remind you that for all the propaganda we were fed about the dangers of Iraq's non-existent nuclear weapons, and now Iran's non-existent nuclear weapons, one and only one nation has ever actually used a nuclear weapon of mass destruction on the civilians of another country.

And that WMD-using nation is the United States of America. The same nation that continues to invade and conquer and pillage across the face of the globe, rising like a horrid Fourth Reich to terrorize the world with robotic drones and mushroom clouds.

The Expendable Project

How a government wilfully withheld vital evidence from a court of law, deceived its public, orchestrated an unprecedented media campaign, and ruthlessly deployed its organs of state against one of its own citizens.

This is a frightening but entirely true narrative; a grotesque political horror story which is still unfolding today. It exposes what happens when an individual’s human rights conflict with strategic political need. It reveals the ruthless use of a government’s organs of state, and a regime of unprecedented opinion management, against a single working class woman and her desperate family.

The Five Dancing Israelis Arrested On 9-11

Several of the detainees discussed their experience in America on an Israeli talk show after their return home. Said one of the men, denying that they were laughing or happy on the morning of Sept. 11, "The fact of the matter is we are coming from a country that experiences terror daily. Our purpose was to document the event."

How did they know there would be an event to document on 9/11?

Anti Putin protests return to Moscow's freezing streets

On a day that saw temperatures fall below 20 degrees Celsius, a vast column of people under communist, nationalist and liberal banners marched from a central Moscow square to rally on Bolotnaya Ploshchad across the Moskva river from the Kremlin.

Although the title of the demo was "For free elections," the prime sentiment of many demonstrators seemed to be getting Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to resign.

Chants of "Putin Leave!" and banners with variations on the theme of "Putin, you're fired!" predominated.

NY's Schneiderman sues banks in foreclosure effort

New York's attorney general on Friday accused some of the nation's largest banks of deceit and fraud in using an electronic mortgage registry that he said puts homeowners at a disadvantage in foreclosures while saving banks over $2 billion.

Democrat Eric Schneiderman sued Bank of America, J.P. Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo over their use of the Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc., or MERS, claiming the banks submitted court documents containing false and misleading information that appeared to provide the authority for foreclosures when there was none.

Mainstream Media Questions Inaccuracies in 9/11 Story

The mainstream press is showing interest in a taboo, however glaring subject; the inconsistencies in the Bush White House 9/11 account.

As The Washington Times reports today, "A lingering technical question about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks still haunts some, and it has political implications: How did 200,000 tons of steel disintegrate and drop in 11 seconds? A thousand architects and engineers want to know, and are calling on Congress to order a new investigation into the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7 at the World Trade Center."

The problems with the official federal stories are endless and according to some of the world's top minds, the suggested account is impossible[1].

Santorum To Gay Man: You Don’t Deserve ‘Privilege’ Of Marriage Because Gay Unions Don’t ‘Benefit Society’

Marriage, Santorum explained is an “intrinsic good” in which gay and lesbian people should not be allowed to partake in

Late last year, the Central Intelligence Agency explained to Judge Kessler of the US District Court in Washington DC that releasing the final volume of its three-decade-old history of the 1961 Bay of Pigs debacle would “confuse the public,” and should be withheld because it is a “predecisional” document. Wow. And I thought that I had heard them all.

He appeared unmoved by the plight of the family, staunchly defending drug companies’ right to charge whatever they want.

THE FBI'S 'BE A SNITCH' FLYERS

Thanks to Public Intelligence Net we now have copies of the FBI's official "Be A Snitch" Flyers. NAZI Germany proudly boasted they had 2 out of every 3 citizens watching each other. The US obviously intends to wrest the gold medal from Hitler. At this point, it should be obvious that none of these recommendations would actually work. Terrorists act like the descriptions in these flyers only if they are amateurs, patsies or movie extras. Anyone really planning something nasty knows not to do any of the actions seen in the flyers, simply because the flyers have everyone watching for such behavior.
