Central bankers are feverishly attempting to create their own new
world: a utopia in which debts are never restructured, and there are no
consequences for fiscal profligacy, i.e. no atonement for prior sins.
They have created Potemkin villages on a Jurassic scale. The sum total
of the volatility they are attempting to suppress will be less than the
eventual volatility encountered when their schemes stop working. Most
refer to comments like this as heresy against the orthodoxy of economic
thought. We have a hard time understanding how the current situation
ends any way other than a massive loss of wealth and purchasing power
through default, inflation or both. In the Keynesian bible (The General Theory of Employment, Interest
and Money), there is a very interesting tidbit of Keynes’ conscience in
the last chapter titled “Concluding Notes” from page 376:
[I]t would mean the euthanasia of the rentier, and,
consequently, the euthanasia of the cumulative oppressive power of the
capitalist to exploit the scarcity value of capital.
The website of
Israel's largest political party, Kadima, has been hacked by
Palestinians as the Zionist regime continues its attacks against the
blockaded Gaza Strip.
Kadima party, headed by opposition leader Tzipi Livni, said it shut
down its website after Palestinian hackers infiltrated it Friday night.
Livni's blog was also hacked.
Israeli reports said Palestinian hackers also targeted a number of other Israeli websites including the Tel Aviv Municipality.
The Kadima Website was once more hacked during Operation Cast Lead,
an offensive Tel Aviv launched in December 2008 against the Gaza strip
in which over 1,300 Palestinians were killed.
This comes as Israel continues the attacks, which it began on Wednesday, against the Palestinians in the Gaza strip.

the attack. Thousands of people across the Middle East, the West, and
Europe have come out to show their disdain. Yet, some countries remain
convinced of Israel’s right to destroy. Israel’s airstrikes on Gaza have sparked global protests condemning

Europe have come out to show their disdain. Yet, some countries remain
convinced of Israel’s right to attack. Israel’s Operation 'Take More Land and Murder More Palestinians' – which began Wednesday and has taken the lives of 39
Palestinians and three Israelis so far, according to Palestinian local
media – has divided the international world.(Angelo: Sure, lame stream media zombies and the rest of us.)

RT: Hacker group Anonymous has launched a massive attack named
#OpIsrael on almost 700 Israeli websites, protesting against Operation
Pillar of Defense in Gaza. Israeli media confirmed the group’s move. The hackers reportedly took down websites ranging from high-profile
governmental structures such as the Foreign Ministry to local tourism
companies’ pages. The biggest attack as of now has been the
Israeli Foreign Ministry’s international development program, titled
Mashav. Anonymous announced on Twitter they’ve hacked into the program’s
database, with the website remaining inaccessible at the moment.
“There is [sic] so many defaced Israeli websites right now, that we just made a list of them,” Anonymous tweeted.
Israel has chosen to attack Gazain order to avoid reaching a
longer-term peace settlement that was being negotiated with the help of
Hamas’ military leader Ahmen Jabari, who was assassinated in an Israeli
attack Wednesday, says Israeli activist. Israeli peace activist Gershon Baskin spoke to RT confirming that
Ahmen Jabari was involved in peace settlement negotiations with Israel
and was due to send Hamas’ version of a peace draft to Baskin on
Wednesday evening before he was killed. RT: So you're saying that a draft of a permanent truce agreement already existed. What went wrong then? Gershon Baskin:
It was initially drafted 8 months ago. It was presented to the
Israelis, Hamas, Egyptian intelligence and the UN for deliberation. Both
Israelis and Hamas decided not to agree. Over the last months the
ceasefires got shorter and shorter and the intensity of the fighting
increased. And I decided together with my counterpart in Hamas, we were
instrumental in negotiating a prisoner exchange deal that led to freedom
of Gilad Shaid, the Israeli soldier held in captivity by Mr. Jabari, we
decided to push forward. My Hamas counterpart wrote a new version of
the draft and he was presenting it to Hamas leaders. In fact on
Wednesday morning he was presenting it to Ahmed Jabari himself. I was
supposed to receive later that evening the copy of the draft in Arabic
for me to deliver to the Israelis who were waiting for it along with
Egyptian intelligence.
Submitted by Tyler Durden:Most have read about the events in Gaza over
the past three days, for the most part insulated and buffered by a
distance of several thousand miles and one or more oceans, from what is
rapidly becoming ground zero of a new and most deadly escalation in the
center of the Middle Eastern powder keg. Few, however, have witnessed
and documented it quite as well as French photographer Anne Paq and her collection of photos below.
By Madison Ruppert:The news coming out of Israel and Palestine is hardly getting any better as protests continue to erupt, more reservists are called up by the Israeli military, rockets hit Jerusalem and some argue that any possibility of peace was eliminated by the very public killing of Hamas leader Ahmed Jabari. The death toll continues to rise with no less than 29 Palestinians, among them 16 civilians including eight children and a pregnant woman, killed in Gazaaccording to officials cited by Reuters, while three Israeli civilians have been killed by a rocket. Naharnet confirmed that since Wednesday Israeli aircraft “has killed 29 Gazans and sparked outrage across the Arab and Islamic world.” The numbers of those killed in Gaza continues to rise while an Israeli military spokesman told AFP, “A rocket fired from Gaza hit an open area outside of Jerusalem, causing no injuries or damage.” A second rocket landed in the sea off the coast of Tel Aviv “some 200 meters (yards)” from the beachfront U.S. embassy which sent beachgoers fleeing, according to an eyewitness cited by AFP. According to a report from Israeli news outlet Haaretz, Israeli peace activist Gershon Baskin, the man who helped mediate the deal between Hamas and Israel to release Gilad Shalit, said that Jabiri received a new truce document shortly before he was killed. JTA reported, “Israeli officials ordered the hit on Jabari despite knowing about the truce draft.”
The video title is "BUSTED! Israel is Raping Gaza of Palestinian Gas Reserves. THOU SHALL NOT STEAL." Why does my instinct tell me that the deal with Cyprus off shore gas is a similar shakedown. The genius part is convincing the Greek Cypriots that the 10% they will get as part of the deal is a hard but fair deal whereas the reality is that any cut will be siphoned off to line the pockets of... you guessed it, invariably Israeli banksters.As far as I can see the Jewish oligarchs have been all powerful for several hundred years, encouraging depravity and war and using their control of finance in a shameful manner.When I relate the world of today to the world of Hitler, no doubt they snuck up on him too. Had he gassed their banksters, the real bastards of that race. I am not a socialist. I am for a free market, the current crony fascism is not a free market, but now that we have seen the deception, I suggest that sovereign states simply nationalize their wealth and have done with it. I am with Roseanne Barr on this one, Anyone not content with $100,000,000... after therapy... The gas chamber!
