Brandon Smith:In our modern world there exist certain institutions of power. Not
government committees, alphabet agencies, corporate lobbies, or even
standard military organizations; no, these are the mere “middle-men” of
power. The errand boys. The well paid hitmen of the global mafia.
They are not the strategists or the decision makers.
Instead, I speak of institutions which introduce the newest paradigms.
Who write the propaganda. Who issue the orders from on high. I speak
of the hubs of elitism which have initiated nearly every policy
mechanism of our government for the past several decades. I am talking
about the Council On Foreign Relations, the Tavistock Institute, the
Heritage Foundation (a socialist organization posing as conservative),
the Bilderberg Group, as well as the corporate foils that they use to
enact globalization, such as Monsanto, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, the
Carlyle Group, etc. Many of these organizations and corporations operate a
revolving door within the U.S. government. Monsanto has champions,
like Donald Rumsfeld who was on the board of directors of its Searle
Pharmaceuticals branch, who later went on to help the company force
numerous dangerous products including Aspartame through the FDA.
Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan have a veritable merry-go-round of corrupt
banking agents which are appointed to important White House and Treasury
positions on a regular basis REGARDLESS of which party happens to be in
office. Most prominent politicians are all members of the Council on
Foreign Relations, an organization which has openly admitted on multiple
occasions that their goal is the destruction of U.S. sovereignty and
the formation of a “one world government” or “supranational union”
(their words, not mine).
The Office for National Statistics has been asked to sit in
judgement. The question concerns Mr Cameron’s statement in a recent
party political broadcast that “we are paying down Britain’s debts”. In
the Spectator, Fraser Nelson, the editor, called it “astonishingly
dishonest”. In fact, the latest figures show that the national debt is actually rising. Since the Coalition was formed, public sector net debt
has expanded from £811.3bn (55.3 per cent of GDP) to £1,111.4bn at the
end of December 2012 (70.7 per cent of GDP). The Office for Budget
Responsibility has also forecast that public sector net debt will
continue to increase and the Government’s target to get it declining by
2015-16 will not be met. Rachel Reeves MP, a Labour front-bench
spokesperson, has asked the Director of National Statistics to
intervene. Of course, everybody and their dog knows that
politicians lie. That is what people invariably tell polling
organisations. It is a major reason why trust in government and the
political process are in steep decline. In fact, what the public has
noticed is a change, an increase in the volume if you like. Broadly
speaking, with exceptions, until the 1990s government ministers
deliberately told untruths only when they believed the interests of the
state so demanded. You couldn’t say that you were thinking of devaluing
the pound during the era when exchange rates were fixed in case you set
off a destablising foreign exchange run. In international relations,
where there is no rule of law, nations have always lied to one another.
Britain has been known as “perfidious Albion” for many centuries.
Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert for their 400th episode discuss Obeelzebub and Jamie Demon as the inevitable outcome of collateral faking, zombie banking and paper printing. They also discuss Russia's central bank buying gold while David Cameron is telling porkies about UK national debt. In the second half of the show, Max Keiser talks to Ian Williams of Charteris Treasury about silver suppression and the bond-pocalypse.
UK and Europe BANNEDPress TV: Following a new round of attacks against the Iranian media, the Vice
President of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), Dr.
Mohammad Sarafraz, says the Zionist system controls all the mainstream
news channels in the world. "Because they [the Zionist system] want to
proceed with their own economic agendas, they have to control people's
thoughts and they achieved this by controlling the largest news channels
throughout the world,"
RT:A UN human rights inquiry has called on Israel to remove all Jewish
settlers from the West Bank and cease expansion. The report said the
settlements violate international law, and are an attempt to drive out
Palestinians through intimidation. "Israel must, in compliance with article 49 of the Fourth Geneva
Convention, cease all settlement activities without preconditions,”
the report read, adding that Israel must immediately begin to withdraw
all settlers from the occupied Palestinian territories (OPT). The inquiry prompted a strong reaction from Israel who slammed the report as biased. "The
Human Rights Council has sadly distinguished itself by its
systematically one-sided and biased approach towards Israel. This latest
report is yet another unfortunate reminder of that," said spokesman Yigal Palmor in a statement. The
1949 Geneva Convention prohibits the transfer of a civilian population
into an occupied area – such an act could constitute war crimes if
brought before the International Criminal Court. Following the UN’s de
facto recognition of Palestine last December, Israel announced plans to
build thousands of homes in the OPT. In response, Palestine
wrote to the UN warning that Israel's planned expansion into the
occupied territorieswould lead to more war crimes being committed. The
UN investigators interviewed over 50 people who were driven from their
homes. They described how their livelihoods were destroyed and their
land was confiscated, and how they were subjected to continuous violence
from Jewish settlers.
RT: Syria has filed an official complaint to the United Nations over an
Israeli airstrike on a military research center near Damascus. The move
followed a threat from Iran that Israel would face “serious
consequences” for the attack.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian said Tel
Aviv would face repercussions for the Israeli airstrike against a military research center in Jamraya, rural Damascus, the semi-official Fars news quotes him as saying. Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi condemned what he characterized as “brutal aggression” against Syria. "There
is no doubt that this aggression is part of a Western and Zionist
strategy to push aside the success of the Syrian people and government
to return to stability and security," Hurriyet Daily News cites him as saying. Salehi said the strike highlights the "alignment of terrorist groups with the Zionists' objectives." Syria
has summoned the commander of The United Nations Disengagement Observer
Force (UNDOF) in the Golan Heights to deliver a former protest for the
Israel attack. Damascus says the airstrike violates the 1974 disengagement agreement that established a ceasefire between the two sides.
Morris: Israel's actions in bombing show Israel's hand in the Syrian uprising.
Just as Syria starts to get the upper hand in its conflict, Israel sees
the need to intervene. Will Syria retaliate? And if so, how so?If Syria enters a conflict with Israel, then so does Hezbollah, and to some unknown extent so does Iran and Russia and Turkey. Source
By Madison Ruppert: According to reports, all personal information stored on major cloud computing services can be spied on by US agencies without users’ knowledge or even a search warrant. This is all reportedly being done under the recently reauthorized Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and has led British Members of Parliament to call on the British government to not only end the use of cloud computing but also stop sharing intelligence services with the U.S, according to the Independent. It’s worth pointing out that the US government has admitted breaching the Fourth Amendment under FISA while maintaining an absurd level of secrecy around the Act. Given the massive expansion of the Pentagon’s cyberwarfare forces and the exponential rise in surveillance overall, people around the world have a quite legitimate reason to be concerned. As New Zealand’s IOL points out, under FISA “all documents uploaded on to cloud systems based in the US or falling under Washington’s jurisdiction can be accessed and analyzed without a warrant by American security agencies.” Apparently, US agencies have been able to access private data stored on the cloud since 2008 while no one had any clue it was going on. “What this legislation means is that the US has been able to mine any
foreign data in US Clouds since 2008, and nobody noticed,”
Submitted by Tyler Durden: In just under 30 minutes, Peter Schiff and
Doug Casey muse on many facets of the crumbling edifice of the status
quo that is our current world.
From Gold's relatively imminent rise to $5,000 and beyond, to
investor ignorance of reality, Casey & Schiff swing from discussions
of the US as political entity going forward to 'escape from America'
plans for personal and wealth assets, and the realization that the
biggest casualty (of US indebtedness), aside from individual liberty, is
the value of the dollar - as taxing the middle class is unpopular with
both parties - leaving only one route for the government - the inflation
tax. Owning gold, silver, and foreign assets is preferred and while the
rest of the world is also printing, the US is likely to beat them all. People "are clueless with respect to the true state of the
global economy," with regard to inflation, fiat currencies, and
specifically what will happen to the dollar. The conversation
is wide-ranging and absolutely must-see as they remind market-watchers
that "the whole thing is artificial,"
