Les Nouvelles Internationales est un site alternatif pour les gens qui veulent mieux comprendre ce qui se passe dans notre monde et pour mieux connaître notre histoire.
Ce site se veut un moyen de résister à la manipulation de la pensée par la désinformation et la propagande de masse.
Une population éduquée n`est pas manipulable. Cessons de nous faire violer psychiquement, protégeons-nous mentalement. Les ploutocrates dépensent des milliards pour contrôler notre pensée. Fermons la TV!
Désillusionné par nos médias de masse, j`ai décidé de faire mes propres recherches pour comprendre notre monde, notre histoire et les événements mondiaux actuels et leurs connexions entre eux. De comprendre dans quel système l`on vit, ainsi que son fonctionnement, nous protège mentalement contre la désinformation, la propagande et la manipulation et nous permet de faire de bien meilleurs choix. C`est dans l`esprit de partager mes découvertes avec d`autres que ce site s`inscrit, parce que trop souvent, l`information essentielle que tous devrions savoir est enterrée ou distorsionnée dans les médias de masse, ou bien trouvable à travers les médias alternatifs qui ont cependant beaucoup moins d`exposition. Alors, mon but est d`attirer l`attention sur des pièces d`information et de réflexion pour stimuler la pensée et inviter à l`action sur une variété de sujets différents.
Nul ne possède l`ultime vérité, mais en rassemblant le plus d`information possible de différentes sources crédibles et vérifiables, on est en mesure de se rapprocher de ce qu`on appelle la "réalité", d`avoir une vue d`ensemble plus "objective".

PRÉSENTATION
L’histoire de l’humanité est celle de la quête de l’abondance. On n’avait rien, on voulait tout. En 1955, la capacité de production aux USA a excédé la demande. Simple question de temps pour que l’abondance devienne globale. Si on le voulait…
Avec l’abondance, hélas, est apparue dans la société industrielle une petite élite autoproclamée ayant la volonté et le pouvoir de n’octroyer cette abondance à une majorité qu’elle préférait docile qu’en échange de son renoncement à sa liberté. On a réservé ainsi les avantages du progrès à une minorité de l’humanité, traitant le reste comme un cheptel à exploiter, ou pire, comme une masse simplement encombrante.
Cette volonté d’asservir étant contre nature et barrant la voie à l’évolution, il fallait prévoir la fin de la société néo-libérale qui s’en était faite l’outil. Le changement de paradigme résulterait d’une inévitable et imminente crise financière.
Cette crise financière est maintenant là. En laissant savoir que l’argent ne vaut plus rien – et c’est bien le message du 13 octobre 2008 des autorités monétaires américaines promettant aux Banques centrales des dollars en quantité « illimitée » – on a mis un terme à la société que nous avons connue.
Nous sommes désormais à la naissance d’une société nouvelle que nous construirons comme nous le voudrons. Mais c’est une autre histoire…

Oui, les actions de résistance continuent et c'est bien. C'est seule défense devant la folie humaine. En premier lieu, une petite vidéo à voir pour vous redonner de l'énergie. Voyez combien de personnes en font leur vie de défendre nos droits et libertés face à ce nouvel ordre mondial. Sur une émission populaire au États-Unis, les invités en sont même rendus à souhaiter qu'une autre attaque terroriste se produise pour flageller les Américains à suivre l'agenda élitiste.
Ensuite vous trouverez une déclaration d'indépendance individuelle bien inspirante. En effet, nous n'appartenons à personne d'autre qu'à nous nous-même. Cela peut paraitre bizarre à dire, mais l'élite pense vraiment que nous leur appartenons, que nous sommes leur troupeau d'humains.

Les puces RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) sont des puces électroniques constituée d’une antenne et d’un microprocesseur. On peut y stocker pas mal d’informations, et contrairement aux cartes à puces (carte bancaire, téléphonique…etc), on peut lire ces informations et les mettre à jour sans inserer la puce dans un lecteur. Tout passe par l’antenne sur des fréquences plus ou moins haute.
Actuellement, les puces RFID sont utilisées pour un tas de choses comme l’identification d’animaux, les controles d’acces par badge, l’ouverture de serrures (sur les voitures par exemple), la traçabilité des livres dans les bibliothèques, pour l’acheminement des marchandises, pour les péages automatiques et même la carte Navigo.
I first went to prison on September 23 of this year and served 35 days. By the time you read this, I will be back inside for another 21. This is going to be my life for the next two years: in for three weeks, out for one. I am 19 years old now and by the time the authorities give up hounding me, I will be 21. The reason? I refused to do my military service for the Israeli army.

The Recording Industry Association of America said on Friday it had abandoned mass lawsuits against Internet users who steal music, and instead would work with Internet service providers to discourage piracy.
Webmaster's Commentary:
It was a public-relations nightmare.
And again, the problem is that it is hard to convince young people that copying a file is morally wrong when we have a President stealing other peoples' countries and torturing prisoners of war to find non-existent 'nookular' bombs.
If we want a moral society, we must have moral leaders.

A UN agency has published a comprehensive report on the worldwide illicit drugs market, the World Drug Report 2009. The graphs and maps below show the extent of the problem and measures to tackle it.
DRUGS AND CRIME
Some argue that strict controls have created a thriving black market that breeds violence and corruption. In the report's preface, UNODC Executive Director Antonio Maria Costa calls for greater investment in drug treatment and crime control. He says legalising drugs would be "an historic mistake" as a free market would spark a drug epidemic. "Societies should not have to choose between protecting public health or public security: they can and should do both."
SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea threatened Wednesday to wipe the United States off the map as Washington and its allies watched for signs the regime will launch a series of missiles in the coming days.
Off China's coast, a U.S. destroyer was tailing a North Korean ship suspected of transporting illicit weapons to Myanmar in what could be the first test of U.N. sanctions passed to punish the nation for an underground nuclear test last month.
The Kang Nam left the North Korean port of Nampo a week ago with the USS John S. McCain close behind. The ship, accused of transporting banned goods in the past, is believed bound for Myanmar, according to South Korean and U.S. officials.
The new U.N. Security Council resolution requires member states to seek permission to inspect suspicious cargo. North Korea has said it would consider interception a declaration of war and on Wednesday accused the U.S. of seeking to provoke another Korean War.
"If the U.S. imperialists start another war, the army and people of Korea will ... wipe out the aggressors on the globe once and for all," the official Korean Central News Agency said.

No longer can the blame for the turmoil in Iraq and Afghanistan rest at the feet of George W. Bush alone. This is now Obama’s War on Terror, fully funded and operated by the Democratic Party.
Despite Obama’s historic (albeit rhetoric filled) speech in Cairo, the new Commander in Chief is still not about to radically change, let alone reform, the US’s long-standing role in the Middle East. A master of his craft, Obama is simply candy coating the delivery of US imperialism in the region. Given the lack of opposition to Obama’s policies back home, it is becoming clear that he may well be more dangerous than his predecessor when it comes to the US’s motivations internationally.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Same agenda; infinitely more intelligent and telegenic pitchman.
"Change you can believe in" ?!?!? Zero, zip, nada, nothing, zilch.
June 22, 2009 "Rebel Reports" -- Three days after his inauguration, on January 23, 2009, President Barack Obama ordered U.S. predator drones to attack sites inside of Pakistan, reportedly killing 15 people. It was the first documented attack ordered by the new U.S. Commander in Chief inside of Pakistan. Since that first Obama-authorized attack, the U.S. has regularly bombed Pakistan, killing scores of civilians. The New York Times reported that the attacks were clear evidence Obama "is continuing, and in some cases extending, Bush administration policy." ...
US drones launched an apparent attack on a compound near South Waziristan’s capital of Wana today, killing at least 13 people and wounding an unknown number of others. Four missiles were said to be fired at a compound belonging to a suspected commander in the Tehreek-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
Webmaster's Commentary:
The use of aerial bombardment in Pakistan which insures the killing and maiming of innocent civilians, is a coarse and indiscriminate tactic.
This will only further enrage the Pakistani people against both American interests and their own government, guaranteeing more destabilization.
One has to wonder if this is precisely the outcome the US wants as the excuse, ultimately, to create a "regime change" here in order to "save nuclear-armed Pakistan from itself."
US drone attacks kill 65 in South Waziristan PESHAWAR (June 24 2009): At least 65 'militants' were killed in US drone attacks in South Waziristan Agency on Tuesday,.... In the second attack, one or more drones fired three missiles at a funeral of one of those killed in the morning, killing at least 65 people and wounding many, intelligence officials said. The United States has carried out about 42 drone strikes since the beginning of last year, most since September, killing more than 345 people, including many foreign militants, according to reports from security agents, officials and residents.
While American operators may get their kicks unloading a salvo of deadly missiles on unsuspecting villagers thousands of miles away, what happens when CIA "cut-outs" get it wrong?
According to investigative journalist Amir Mir, writing in the Lahore-based newspaper The News, "of the sixty cross-border Predator strikes...between January 14, 2006 and April 8, 2009, only 10 were able to hit their actual targets, killing 14 wanted al-Qaeda leaders, besides perishing 687 innocent Pakistani civilians. The success percentage of the US Predator strikes thus comes to not more than six percent."
The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency’s refusal to share with other agencies even the most basic data on the bombing attacks by remote-controlled unmanned predator drones in Pakistan’s northwestern tribal region, combined with recent revelations that CIA operatives have been paying Pakistanis to identify the targets, suggests that managers of the drone attacks programs have been using the total secrecy surrounding the program to hide abuses and high civilian casualties.
In April, The News, a newspaper in Lahore, Pakistan, published figures provided by Pakistani officials indicating that 687 civilians have been killed along with 14 al-Qaeda leaders in some 60 drone strikes since January 2008 – just over 50 civilians killed for every al-Qaeda leader.
Webmaster's Commentary:
The CIA doesn't care about the heavy collateral damage, if they think they get one or two "bad guys" by killing 40 or 50 non-combatants (women, kids, the medically fragile, and the elderly) at a pop.
Unfortunately, this indiscriminate killing tends to radicalize the survivors to the point where suddenly, the Taliban start to look like the good guys.
If there was a US governmental agency which absolutely deserves a booby prize for creating completely unintended consequences, generating the absolute opposite outcomes from what had been the goals in these wars without end, the CIA is a brilliant contender!
The US Congress on Friday approved $1.4 billion in economic and security assistance for Pakistan as the Senate passed a $106 billion war supplemental bill, giving the Obama administration an urgently needed $225 million in relief assistance for the displaced people of Swat.
Webmaster's Commentary:
One has to wonder what mechanisms are in place to assure that this aid goes where it is supposed to go, and isn't just a humongous bribe for Pakistani civilian and military leaders to pocket for doing precisely what the US dictates they do?
Were I a betting person, I would bet.... absolutely none.
The winds of American military rhetoric have shifted again. Last week, Gen David Petraeus repeatedly hammered home the idea that the US army had little do with the Pakistan military’s war against militants in the Frontier province and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata).
Although the US has delivered 100,000 rounds of ammunition and four cargo helicopters to Pakistan, allocated $700m dollars for the Pakistan Counterinsurgency Capability Fund (PCCF), and millions more in humanitarian aid, Gen Petraeus insists that the ongoing military operation is ‘a Pakistani operation’.
If it were in a position to do so, Al Qaeda would use Pakistan's nuclear weapons in its fight against the United States, a top leader of the group said in remarks aired Sunday.
Webmaster's Commentary:
"Ooooh, looks like we gotta invade Pakistan now, to protect those nukes!!!" -- Official White Horse Souse
Today officials are confirming that the US and Iraqi militaries have reached a “tentative” agreement to keep American combat troops in the Baghdad slum of SadrCity past the deadline. Officials are also saying that this base is one of 14 that they are hoping to keep open past the deadline.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Translation: we're going to be in Iraqpermanently, in some areas.
The Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) between Iraq and the United States requires that all US combat forces leave Iraqi cities by the end of Tuesday. The US is going to be going along with the requirement, more or less, but those troops won’t be going far. Major General Robert Caslen
According to Major General Robert Caslen, the commander of US forces in the north, the troops that are being pulled from the cities will be massing along the outskirts of the cities, encircling them in what the general called an attempt to replicate the surge strategy outside of the cities.
A confidential record of a meeting between President Bush and Tony Blair before the invasion of Iraq, outlining their intention to go to war without a second United Nations resolution, will be an explosive issue for the official inquiry into the UK's role in toppling Saddam Hussein.
The memo, written on 31 January 2003, almost two months before the invasion and seen by the Observer, confirms that as the two men became increasingly aware UN inspectors would fail to find weapons of mass destruction (WMD) they had to contemplate alternative scenarios that might trigger a second resolution legitimising military action.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad shook off accusations from moderate opponents of economic mis-management and criticism of his confrontational foreign policy with the West to win a second term as Iranian president.
Webmaster's Commentary:
The neo-cons in Washington and the hawks in Tel Aviv are probably toasting this news with champagne, as bizarre as that may sound.
This means they won't have to "re-invent the wheel" in terms of having to demonize yet a new Iranian president, which would cause their timetable for a military attack against Iran to slip.
" I am sure that Americans would favour the emergence from the present situation of a truly popularly based government and it is very appropriate for the president to make clear that that is what he favours. Now if it turns out that it is not possible for a government to emerge in Iran that can deal with itself as a nation rather than as a cause then we have a different situation, then we may conclude that we must work for regime change in Iran from the outside but if I understand the president correctly he does not want to do this as a visible intervention in the current crisis."
The apparent re-election of hardline Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad underscores the growing threat posed by Tehran and its nuclear ambitions, two senior Israeli politicians said Saturday, urging the world not to engage in dialogue with Iran.
Webmaster's Commentary:
How completely predictable, and right on time!
The comments on Ahmadinejad's win, covered in a previous article here, seems to have been validated by the issuing of these statements by Ayalon and Shalom, although characterized as "...personal views and not those of the Israeli government."
Had the Israeli government had any objections to these statements, they would not have been made.
The best indicator of vote fraud is when the 0fficial results do not match the pre-election polls or the exit polls (unless you are in the USA of course).
That did not happen in Iran's elections. Ahmadinejad was ahead by a wide margin all the way through.
However, the double standard applied by Western news agencies is striking. Richard Nixon trounced George McGovern in his native state of South Dakota in the 1972 elections. Had Al Gore won his home state of Tennessee in 2000, no one would have cared about a Florida recount, nor would there have been a Supreme Court case called Bush v. Gore. If Vice-Presidential candidate John Edwards had won the states he was born and raised in (South and North Carolina), President John Kerry would now be serving his second term. But somehow, in Western newsrooms Middle Eastern people choose their candidates not on merit, but on the basis of their “tribe.”
The BBC has again been caught engaging in mass public deception by using photographs of pro-Ahmadinejad rallies in Iran and claiming they represent anti-government protests in favor of Hossein Mousavi.
An image used by the L.A. Times on the front page of its website Tuesday showed Iranian President Ahmadinejad waving to a crowd of supporters at a public event.
In a story covering the election protests yesterday, the BBC News website used a closer shot of the same scene, but with Ahmadinejad cut out of the frame. The caption under the photograph read, ‘Supporters of Mir Hossein Mousavi again defied a ban on protests’.
The BBC photograph is clearly a similar shot of the same pro-Ahmadinejad rally featured in the L.A. Times image, yet the caption erroneously claims it represents anti-Ahmadinejad protesters.
On May 23, 2007, Brian Ross and Richard Esposito reported on ABC News: “The CIA has received secret presidential approval to mount a covert “black” operation to destabilize the Iranian government, current and former officials in the intelligence community tell ABC News.”
On May 27, 2007, the London Telegraph independently reported: “Mr. Bush has signed an official document endorsing CIA plans for a propaganda and disinformation campaign intended to destabilize, and eventually topple, the theocratic rule of the mullahs.”
A few days previously, the Telegraph reported on May 16, 2007, that Bush administration neocon warmonger John Bolton told the Telegraph that a US military attack on Iran would “be a ‘last option’ after economic sanctions and attempts to foment a popular revolution had failed.”
On June 29, 2008, Seymour Hersh reported in the New Yorker: “Late last year, Congress agreed to a request from President Bush to fund a major escalation of covert operations against Iran, according to current and former military, intelligence, and congressional sources. These operations, for which the President sought up to four hundred million dollars, were described in a Presidential Finding signed by Bush, and are designed to destabilize the country’s religious leadership.”
Timmerman goes on to write that “the National Endowment for Democracy has spent millions of dollars promoting ‘color’ revolutions . . . Some of that money appears to have made it into the hands of pro-Mousavi groups, who have ties to non-governmental organizations outside Iran that the National Endowment for Democracy funds.” Timmerman’s own neocon Foundation for Democracy is “a private, non-profit organization established in 1995 with grants from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), to promote democracy and internationally-recognized standards of human rights in Iran.”
It's the 2009 presidential election in Iran and opposition leader Mir-Houssein Mousavi declares victory hours before the polls close, insuring that any result to the contrary will be called into question. Western media goes into overdrive, fighting with each other to see who can offer the most hyperbolic denunciation of the vote and President Ahmadenijad's apparent victory (BBC wins by publishing bald-faced lies about the supposed popular uprising which it is later forced to retract). On June 13th, 30000 "tweets" begin to flood Twitter with live updates from Iran, most written in English and provided by a handful of newly-registered users with identical profile photos.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu extended the tenure of the Mossad chief to an eighth year on Sunday, a testament to the spymaster's perceived success in waging shadow wars against Iran and its allies. Meir Dagan, a former commando and retired general, took over Mossad in 2002 with what security sources described as a mandate to monitor and sabotage the Iranian nuclear program ahead of any decision by Israel to launch full-scale preemptive strikes.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Well, at least you can credit Tel Aviv for wanting to be upfront about waging a clandestine intelligence war against Iran, prior to an actual invasion!
But do take a second, hard look at that statement ".....Failing that, Israel, which is widely assumed to have the Middle East's only nuclear arsenal, has hinted at a military option, though many analysts think Iranian sites are too dispersed and fortified for its air force to take on alone."
Guess who is going having to go to bat for Israel, should there be a military confrontation? None other than the good old US of A.
Your kids' lives and your tax dollars will pay for this next war, should it happen.
Any of our troops left in Iraq, and elsewhere in the Middle East, will be sitting ducks for a counter attack by Iranian military forces.
And here's something to chew on. Russia is Iran's 7th largest trading partner; what are they going to do when they see their 7th largest trading partner attacked?
The following summary, with extensive links, highlights the major evidence that suggests western intelligence agencies are aiding in stirring up unrest inside Iran as part of a "color revolution" to foment regime change.
I would suggest that Mr. Ahmadinejad think carefully about the obligations he owes to his own people," he added.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Memo to President Obama: you need to think carefully about the obligations you owe to your own people; that is, to We the People of the United States of America.
You do remember us, don't you? We're the people for whom your campaign platform promised "change".
You have been given your marching orders about Iran from Bibi Netanyahu when he visited you last, and those orders were "...take care of Iran's nuclear program.....or else".
The last thing We the People need is another of these immoral and fiscally insane wars to neutralize Israel's perceived existential threats in the region. And Mr. President, you appreciate fully that these include all of Israel's neighbors.
And that statement about "...the United States has gone out of its way not to interfere with the election process in Iran,"; a thinking person doesn't know whether to laugh or cry when they read it.
If the US was doing nothing to influence or interfere with the election, why was Twitter not pulled down for maintenance when it was supposed to be, so that allegedly "true information" could get out of Iran about the protests?
Why, all of a sudden, did we find Reza Pahlavi, the son of the former Shah of Iran (an American-installed puppet, hated by his people), all of a sudden get "face time" on literally every news feed you could see, crying crocodile tears in front of the camera about the current situation in Iran?
Why, when there was a protest against the election results here in the US, were the flags which were waved those of the dictatorship of the Shah, and not the flag of the current Republic of Iran?
President Obama, the attempted destabilization of the current regime has not worked. So now what? Continued demonization of Iran for doing what it has, as a signatory to the NPT, a perfect right to do, develop nuclear energy in the building of a power plant?
And how can we demonize Iran for doing this, when we know perfectly well that Israel does have nuclear weapons, and refuses to sign the NPT?!?!?
Thinking Americans, particularly those with families serving in our military, remember very acutely the demonization of Saddam Hussein in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq.
They also understand now that this demonization was based on a pack of lies, sold to us by a government which was eager to use any excuse (or confession extracted under torture, as in the case Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi who conveniently committed suicide in May of this year) to go to war. As reported here:
"Libi was captured fleeing Afghanistan in late 2001, and he vanished into the secret detention system run by the Bush administration. He became the unnamed source, according to Senate investigators, behind Bush administration claims in 2002 and 2003 that Iraq had provided training in chemical and biological weapons to al-Qaeda operatives. The claim was most famously delivered by then-Secretary of State Colin L. Powell in his address to the United Nations in February 2003. "
Mr. President, I urge you to think very carefully about what you do next regarding Iran.
C'est Paul Craig Roberts, l'ex secrétaire-adjoint du Trésor américain dans l'administration Reagan, et l'ancien rédacteur en chef adjoint du Wall Street qui se pose la question, dans un article publié sur le site internet " Conter Punch" . Assurant que le plan de la CIA de vouloir déstabiliser l'Iran avait été mis au point il y a deux ans, il le soupçonne d'avoir contaminé les évènements en Iran.
Roberts réfute les prétextes avancées pour démontrer que le président élu Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a volé les élections, selon lesquelles les résultats ont été déclarées trop peu de temps après la fermeture des bureaux de vote. "Toutefois, rétorque-t-il , Moussavi a déclaré sa victoire quelques heures avant la fermeture des bureaux de scrutin". Selon ce secrétaire adjoint, ceci constitue le moyen de déstabilisation le plus classique de la CIA et qui vise à discréditer le résultat contraire. . . . le 23 Mai 2007, rapporte Roberts, les reporters de la Abc News, Brian Ross et Richard Esposito ont révélé, citant des anciens et de nouveaux membres de ce service de renseignements que "La CIA a reçu l'approbation secrète du Président de monter une opération " noire "pour déstabiliser le gouvernement iranien".
. . . le 16 Mai 2007, The Telegraph a signalé à la base de déclarations du belliciste néoconservateur John Bolton que pour l'administration Bush "l'attaque militaire américaine contre l'Iran serait «une dernière option» au cas où les sanctions économiques et les tentatives de fomenter une révolution populaire échouent. " Le 29 Juin 2008, Seymour Hersh citant des sources militaires anciennes et actuelles du renseignement et du Congrès a révélé au New Yorker qu'«à la fin de l'année dernière, le Congrès a accepté la requête du président Bush pour financer une escalade majeure des opérations secrètes contre l'Iran". Ces opérations, pour lesquelles le président a demandé jusqu'à quatre cent millions de dollars, ont été décrites dans une note présidentielle signée par Bush, et sont destinées à déstabiliser la direction religieuse du pays.
Despite President Barack Obama’s persistent claims that the United States is not meddling in the post-election furore in Iran, the administration is moving forward with plans to subsidize Iranian dissident groups to the tune of $20 million in the form of USAID grants.
The program is not new, and the solicitation for the grant applications actually came under the Bush Administration. But with the deadline for submissions just four days away, the administration has a convenient excuse to subsidize opposition and dissident groups under the guise of promoting “the rule of law” in Iran.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Unflipping believable.
How the heck does Obama believe we are going to create a dialogue with the existing Iranian government, when the US is pulling this kind of a stunt?
Or perhaps, on Netanyahu's timetable of "take care of Iran by the end of the year, or else....", Obama has, for all practical intents and purposes, abandoned any pretext of negotiation with Iran, and is - as the phrase goes in basketball - "running out the clock", with no sincere intent to engage Iran at all.
Were these legitimate Iranian people or the works of a propaganda machine? I became curious and decided to investigate the origins of the information. In doing so, I narrowed it down to a handful of people who have accounted for 30,000 Iran related tweets in the past few days. Each of them had some striking similarities -
1. They each created their twitter accounts on Saturday June 13th. 2. Each had extremely high number of Tweets since creating their profiles. 3. “IranElection” was each of their most popular keyword 4. With some very small exceptions, each were posting in ENGLISH. 5. Half of them had the exact same profile photo 6. Each had thousands of followers, with only a few friends. Most of their friends were EACH OTHER.
What is the source of the information for the US media and the American puppet states?
Nothing but the assertions of the defeated candidate, the one America prefers.
The poll results, the only real information we have at this time, indicate that the election results reflect the will of the Iranian voters.
With the help of Mousavi, the US government is creating another "oppressed people," like Iraqis under Saddam Hussein, who require American blood and treasure to liberate. Has Mousavi, the American candidate in the Iranian election who was roundly trounced, been chosen by Washington to become the American puppet ruler of Iran?
Webmaster's Commentary:
I am sure there were champagne toasts in the halls of power in Tel Aviv and in the halls of power for Washington's neo-cons when it became obvious that Ahmedinejad clearly won the election.
Netanyahu gave Obama an ultimatum on Iran when he met in Washington. Obama has until the end of 2009 to "stop the Iranian's nuclear program...or else."
That "or else" may well take the form of an Israeli attack on Iran, into which the US will inevitably get dragged.

I am one of those who do not believe the national debt is a national blessing... it is calculated to raise around the administration a moneyed aristocracy dangerous to the liberties of the country . Andrew Jackson, Letter to L. H. Coleman of Warrenton, N.C., 29 April 1824
Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.
Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom (1913), Doubleday
From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kun (Hungary), Rosa Luxembourg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United States), this world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing. It played, as a modern writer, Mrs. Webster, has so ably shown, a definitely recognisable part in the tragedy of the French Revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the Nineteenth Century; and now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads and have become practically the undisputed masters of that enormous empire.
Winston Churchill, "Zionism versus Bolshevism", Illustrated Sunday Herald (London), February 8, 1920, pg. 5
The people must be helped to think naturally about money. They must be told what it is, and what makes it money, and what are the possible tricks of the present system which put nations and peoples under control of the few.
Henry Ford, My Life and Work, Doubleday, Page & Company, 1922
I am afraid that the ordinary citizen will not like to be told that the banks can, and do, create and destroy money. The amount of money in existence varies only with the action of the banks in increasing or decreasing deposits and bank purchases. Every loan, overdraft or bank purchase creates a deposit, and every repayment or bank sale destroys a deposit. .... And they who control the credit of a nation, direct the policy of Governments and hold in the hollow of their hands the destiny of the people.
Reginald McKenna, a former Chancellor of the Exchequer, addressing the shareholders as Chairman of the Midland Bank, at the Annual General Meeting in January 1924.
The present Federal Reserve System is a flagrant case of the Governments conferring a special privilege upon bankers. The Government hands to the banks its credit, at virtually no cost to the banks, to be loaned out by the bankers for their own private profit. Still worse, however, is the fact that it gives the bankers practically complete control of the amount of money that shall be in circulation. Not one dollar of these Federal Reserve notes gets into circulation without being borrowed into circulation and without someone paying interest to some bank to keep it circulating. Our present money system is a debt money system. Before a dollar can circulate, a debt must be created. Such a system assumes that you can borrow yourself out of debt.
Willis A. Overholser, A short review and analysis of the history of money in the United States, with an introduction to the current money problem (1936), p. 56
Le Conseil pour la Recherches en Sciences Humaines (HSRC) d’Afrique du Sud a publié un rapport confirmant qu’Israël pratique le colonialisme et l’apartheid dans les territoires palestiniens occupés.
Le HSRC a commandé une étude à une équipe internationale d’universitaires et praticiens de droit international de l’Afrique du Sud, d’Israël, de l’Angleterre et de la Cisjordanie. Le rapport de 300 pages résultant intitulé “Occupation, Colonialisme, Apartheid? : Une réévaluation des pratiques d’Israël dans les territoires palestiniens occupés sous la loi internationale”, représente un travail de recherche de 15 mois et constitue une revue exhaustive des pratiques d’Israël dans les territoires palestiniens occupés selon les définitions du colonialisme et d’apartheid tel que défini par la loi internationale.
La directrice du projet, Dr. Virginia Tilley, explique en citant le rapport que les trois piliers de l’apartheid sud-africain sont tous pratiqués par Israël. En Afrique du Sud, le premier pilier était de démarquer la population du pays en différents groupes raciaux et d’accorder des droits supérieurs, privilèges et services au groupe racial blanc. Le second pilier était d’opérer une ségrégation de la population en différents endroits géographiques qui étaient alloués par la loi à différents groupes raciaux et de restreindre le passage de membres de n’importe quel groupe vers d’autres endroits alloués à d’autres groupes. Le troisième pilier est la “matrice de lois et de politiques de “sécurité” draconiennes qui était employée pour réprimer quelconque opposition au régime en place et pour renforcer le système de domination raciale en fournissant des outils de détention administrative, torture, censure, d’interdictions et assassinats.”
Le rapport conclu que les pratiques d’Israël dans les territoires palestiniens occupés démontrent ces trois mêmes “piliers” d’apartheid:
Le premier pilier dérive des lois et politiques israéliennes qui établissent une identité Juive dans le but d’établir légalement un statut juridique préférentiel et matériel aux Juifs plutôt qu’aux non-Juifs.
Le deuxième pilier se reflète dans la grande politique d’Israël de fragmenter les territoires palestiniens occupés pour s’assurer que les Palestiniens soient confinés à des réserves désignées pour eux alors que les Juifs israéliens sont interdits d’y pénétrer, mais pouvant tout de même être libres de mouvement à travers le reste des territoires palestiniens. Cette politique est mise en évidence par les larges appropriations de terres palestiniennes qui continuent de faire diminuer l’espace disponibles pour les Palestiniens; des points de fermetures hermétiques et l’isolation de la bande de Gaza du reste des territoires occupés; de la coupure et détachement délibéré de Jérusalem-Est du reste de la Cisjordanie; et du morcèlement du territoire palestiniens en de petites enclaves assiégées et non-contigües pour les Palestiniens, ressemblant à un archipel d’iles déconnectées.
Le troisième pilier est “l’invocation de prétexte de la sécurité de la part d’Israël pour valider des restrictions sur la liberté d’opinions, d’expression, de réunion et de mouvement des Palestiniens pour masquer l’intention sous-jacente de réprimer la dissidence envers son système de domination et ainsi, maintenir le contrôle sur les Palestiniens comme groupe.”
Et personne ne connait les conditions d’apartheid mieux que l’Afrique du Sud.
Michael Jackson es mort. Arrêt cardiaque à 50 ans. Ah, les artistes, avec la vie qu’ils mènent… La famille n’en demande pas moins une deuxième autopsie. La police n’en interroge pas moins longuement son médecin… C’est que l’on parle d’un homme important. Un homme d”influence.
Il avait annoncé pour cet été la plus spectaculaire tournée de concerts de tous les temps. À prendre avec réserve, car on est en show business et donc loin de la modestie, mais ce n’est quant même pas un débutant qui le dit : c’est l’homme qui a vendu 750 millions de disques en carrière, dont 100 millions pour Thriller seulement. Le bestselle de l’histoire de la musique. Le recordman absolu, devant Elvis, devant les Beatles… On peut croire que sa performance aurait fait jaser…
Beaucoup jaser, car le curieux phénomène de la célébrité qui obnubile tout discernement jouait à plein pour cet homme qu’on avait accusé, mais non condamné et qui, pour des millions de gens aux USA et ailleurs, était resté un modèle. Pour eux, quoi qu’il arrive, ce qu’il faisait était bien, ce qu’il disait était vérité. La musique de Michael Jackson leur manquera, mais aussi quelque message qu’il aurait pu livrer et dont sa mort les aura privés.
Un message ? Quelqu’un peut-il penser que Michael Jackson ait eu quoi que ce soit de transcendant à nous dire ? Eh bien oui, justement. Les videos qui ont filtré de la préparation intensive de son prochain spectacle – dont celui ci par exemple - pointent dans une direction inusitée : la foi. Il semble que Michael, devenu Mikaeel – voulait nous parler de sa conversion à l’Islam. De quoi faire vraiment jaser…
Ce n’est pas la première fois qu’il est question de sa conversion à l’Islam – son frère est déjà musulman et la rumeur en a couru souvent – mais le dire est une chose et le faire une autre. Or, il semble bien que cette fois ait été la bonne. Il aurait prononcé la shahada – le formelle profession de foi à l’Islam - à los Angeles, le 21 novembre dernier. Un engagement irrévocable. Du sérieux car, abjurer l’Islam est punissable de mort.
En quoi sa religion peut-elle pous intéresser ? Pourquoi Mikaeel Jackson devenu musulman est –il plus significatif que Tom Cruise scientologue ou que la conversion jadis de Cassius Clay en Mohammed Ali ? C’est que Tom Cruise peut mettre quelques admiratrices en chaleur, mais ne met pas 50 000 personnes en transe. Une foule qui ovationne un chanteur qui a trouvé la foi en l’islam est dangereusement proche d’AIMER l’Islam.
Dans les circonstances actuelles, avec cette guerre au terrorisme à laquelle on a collé l’image barbue de bin Laden, aimer l’Islam, aux USA, n’est plus l’acceptation tranquille d’une religion comme les autres, même si toute la propagande politiquement correcte voudrait bien le faire croire. C’est – en se reconciliant avec l’image qu’on a associée sans discernement au fanatisme islamique militant – s’inscrire en faux contre toute la vision patriotique qu’on a voulue instiller dans la psyché américaine.
C’est réduire à néant des années d’effort et on ne sait même pas quels transferts pourraient être possibles, dans certaines catégories socioethniques, d’un fanatisme fondamentalisme chrétien qui ne pèche pas par excès de reflexion vers un Islam tout aussi radical
Il aurait été malencontreux que Mikaeel Jackson, surtout converti en un parangon de vertu, vienne semer le doute dans les esprits simples. Sa mort a évité ce problème. Personne n’a accusé personne, mais on verra les circonstances de sa mort d’un peu plus près avant que quelqu’un ne s’avise de s’étonner qu’un homme en parfaite sante en mai – car les commanditaires ne financent pas un tel projet de 50 concerts sans s’être assurés de la condition physique de celui sur qui tout repose – soit mort si brusquement en juin alors qu’il allait dire des bêtises.
Note: Vous êtes invités à voir et lire les commentaires et à y laisser les vôtres surLes 7 du Québec.
Mon commentaire:
Je crois que vous venez de mettre le doigt sur de quoi de très sensible. Oulala. Je ne savais pas qu’il s’était converti à l’Islam. Voilà qui va complètement à contre sens du lavage de cerveau entrepris depuis au moins 2001, à l’effet que tout islamique est un prêcheur du terrorisme, du mal et de l’extrémisme.
Combien de films Hollywoodiens ont peint les musulmans en méchants dérangés terroristes? Des dizaines et des centaines. Campagnes de démonisation d’un peuple, d’une religion pour mieux faire accepter aux populations domestiques que ces gens soient tués à coups de millions…tient, comme au Moyen-Orient en ce moment… coïncidence et pur hasard, j’imagine.
On a besoin d’un ennemi crédible pour entretenir la machine de guerre qui arrose de milliards de dollars le complexe militaro-industriel et qui sert à mettre la main sur le pétrole pour les grandes pétrolières.
On ne va quand même pas laisser ce “Mikaeel” tout nous gâcher ça, après les milliards investis à bourrer le crâne de ces idiots pour leur faire croire que l’islam est le mal incarné. On a besoin d’un ennemi nous! Ferme ta gueule salaud!
Zap. Il est mort.
On a rien prouvé encore. Mais si les motifs sont importants, en voilà des géants!
50 ans! Et prêt à aller autour du monde faire 50 concerts et chanter qu’il est converti à l’islam!!!!
Y’en a qui ont du chier dans leur culotte, excusez-moi pour l’expression.
L’islam est maintenant la religion la plus répandue et pratiquée dans le monde, ayant surpassé le Christianisme il y environ un an.

Kouri, who's a vice president of the National Association of Chiefs of Police, has assembled traits such as superficial charm, an exaggerated sense of self-worth, glibness, lying, lack of remorse and manipulation of others.
These traits, Kouri points out in his analysis, are common to psychopathic serial killers.
But -- and here's the part that may spark some controversy and defensive discussion -- these traits are also common to American politicians. (Maybe you already suspected.)
Pardon the cliche, but it's one of the holiest of Holy Grails of technology: Wireless power. And while early lab experiments have been able to "beam" electricity a few feet to power a light bulb, the day when our laptops and cell phones can charge without having to plug them in to a wall socket still seems decades in the future.
Nokia, however, has taken another baby step in that direction with the invention of a cell phone that recharges itself using a unique system: It harvests ambient radio waves from the air, and turns that energy into usable power. Enough, at least, to keep a cell phone from running out of juice.
A University of Colorado at Boulder research team has discovered the first definitive evidence of shorelines on Mars, an indication of a deep, ancient lake there and a finding with implications for the discovery of past life on the Red Planet.

Baxter International Inc. (NYSE: BAX) announced today that it has completed testing and evaluation of the A/H1N1 influenza virus and is now in full-scale production of a commercial A/H1N1 vaccine using its Vero cell culture technology. Baxter received an A/H1N1 strain from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [a World Health Organization (WHO) CollaboratingCenter] in early May and is diligently working to deliver a pandemic vaccine for use as early as July.
And the last time there was a mass vaccination program for swine flu back in 1976, the vaccine killed 50 times as many people as the flu did, and left many more with permanent neurological damage.
So you will understand if I behave rudely to anyone pointing a needle at me.
"If you want to make production sustainable, you have to create financial incentives," the FT quoted Novartis Chief Executive Daniel Vasella as saying in an early edition of Monday's paper.
The director-general of the World Health Organisation, Margaret Chan, has called for drugs companies to show solidarity with poor countries as they develop vaccines against the pandemic H1N1 virus, commonly known as swine flu.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Dr Vasella, you should be absolutely red-faced and thoroughly embarrassed to have made these statements.
Let's take a look at why:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=NVS&annual
Folks, take a good look at this income statement. Does this look like a company so financially tight that it can't afford to donate some vaccine to the poorest of the poor countries? These folks have raked in $42,584,000,000 as of 31 December 2008.
And, as reported here: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=NVS
Dr. Vasella, your compensation from NOVARTIS as Chairman and CEO was 2.78 million dollars last year.
Your absolute indifference to the plight of people and countries which cannot afford to pay for this vaccine is both very disturbing, and very telling.
In an effort to censor any online text that might inform consumers of the ability of natural products to protect consumers from H1N1 influenza A, the FDA is now sending out a round of warning letters, threatening to "take enforcement action... such as seizure or injunction for violations of the FFDC Act without further notice."
"Firms that fail to take correction action," the FDA warns, "may also be referred to the FDA's Office of Criminal Investigations for possible criminal prosecution for violations of the FFDC Act and other federal laws."
Fort Detrick's Inventory Uncovers 9,200 More Pathogens Inventory Uncovers 9,200 More Pathogens
Laboratory Says Security Is Tighter, but Earlier Count Missed Dangerous Vials
By Nelson Hernandez Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, June 18, 2009
An inventory of potentially deadly pathogens at FortDetrick's infectious disease laboratory found more than 9,000 vials that had not been accounted for, Army officials said yesterday, raising concerns that officials wouldn't know whether dangerous toxins were missing.
Massachusetts Democrat Barney Frank, along with co-sponsors Ron Paul (R-TX); Maurice Hinchey (D-NY); Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA); and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), will reintroduce legislation today to limit the federal government’s authority to arrest and prosecute minor marijuana offenders.
The measure, entitled an “Act to Remove Federal Penalties for Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults,” would eliminate federal penalties for the personal possession of up to 100 grams (over three and one-half ounces) of cannabis and for the not-for-profit transfer of up to one ounce of pot – making the prosecutions of these offenses strictly a state matter.
Completely dispensing with any notion of independence or impartiality, ABC News is set to mimic the likes of Communist China and North Korea by completely turning its news coverage over to the government and excluding any dissenting opinions to promote President Obama’s health care agenda.
Germany is on the verge of censoring its Internet: The government – a grand coalition between the German social democrats and conservative party – seems united in its decision: On Thursday the parliament is to vote on the erection of an internet censorship architecture.
The Minister for Family Affairs kicked off and lead the discussions within the German Federal Government to block Internet sites in order to fight child pornography. The general idea is to build a censorship architecture enabling the government to block content containing child pornography.
To understand how the credit-card industry got interested in psychology, you have to go way back, to a time when many Americans didn’t have a credit card, when almost every company charged the same interest rate regardless of a cardholder’s riskiness and when people often paid off their entire balance each month. All the way back, that is, to the 1980s.
Since 1995, the percentage of the industry’s income from cardholder fees has more than doubled to 40 percent. In 2005, as the push to sign up cardholders peaked, the industry sent out more than 10.2 billion credit-card solicitations, which would cover more than the entire world’s population. Two years later, card companies collected $40.7 billion in profits before taxes, according to R. K. Hammer, a credit-card advisory firm. Today Americans carry an average of 5.3 all-purpose cards in their wallets, and the average household has $10,679 in credit-card debt, according to the industry publication The Nilson Report.
But giving credit cards to riskier customers posed a problem: How do you know which cardholders will pay something each month, providing fat profits, and which will simply run up a huge tab and then disappear?
The Ph.D.’s arrived at two solutions. The first was to create thousands of new kinds of cards with their own credit limits, terms and interest rates. Such a strategy theoretically protected companies by limiting how much a cardholder could buy and by charging sufficiently high interest rates to ensure that if a few cardholders walked away, the companies still made plenty of money.
The other solution was learning to predict how different types of customers would behave. Card companies began running tens of thousands of experiments each year, testing the emotions elicited by various card colors and the appeal of different envelope sizes, for instance, or whether new immigrants were more responsible than cardholders born in this country. By understanding customers’ psyches, the companies hoped, they could tell who was a bad risk and either deny their application or, for those who were already cardholders, start shrinking their available credit and increasing minimum payments to squeeze out as much cash as possible before they defaulted.
The exploration into cardholders’ minds hit a breakthrough in 2002, when J. P. Martin, a math-loving executive at Canadian Tire, decided to analyze almost every piece of information his company had collected from credit-card transactions the previous year. Canadian Tire’s stores sold electronics, sporting equipment, kitchen supplies and automotive goods and issued a credit card that could be used almost anywhere. Martin could often see precisely what cardholders were purchasing, and he discovered that the brands we buy are the windows into our souls — or at least into our willingness to make good on our debts. His data indicated, for instance, that people who bought cheap, generic automotive oil were much more likely to miss a credit-card payment than someone who got the expensive, name-brand stuff. People who bought carbon-monoxide monitors for their homes or those little felt pads that stop chair legs from scratching the floor almost never missed payments. Anyone who purchased a chrome-skull car accessory or a “Mega Thruster Exhaust System” was pretty likely to miss paying his bill eventually.
Martin’s measurements were so precise that he could tell you the “riskiest” drinking establishment in Canada — Sharx Pool Bar in Montreal, where 47 percent of the patrons who used their Canadian Tire card missed four payments over 12 months. He could also tell you the “safest” products — premium birdseed and a device called a “snow roof rake” that homeowners use to remove high-up snowdrifts so they don’t fall on pedestrians.
Testing indicated that Martin’s predictions, when paired with other commonly used data like cardholders’ credit histories and incomes, were often much more precise than what the industry traditionally used to forecast cardholder riskiness. By the time he publicized his findings, a small industry of math fanatics — many of them former credit-card executives — had started consulting for the major banks that issued cards, and they began using Martin’s findings and other research to build psychological profiles. Why did birdseed and snow-rake buyers pay off their debts? The answer, research indicated, was that those consumers felt a sense of responsibility toward the world, manifested in their spending on birds they didn’t own and pedestrians they might not know. Why were felt-pad buyers so upstanding? Because they wanted to protect their belongings, be they hardwood floors or credit scores. Why did chrome-skull owners skip out on their debts? “The person who buys a skull for their car, they are like people who go to a bar named Sharx,” Martin told me. “Would you give them a loan?”

The Department of Defense is training all of its personnel in its current Antiterrorism and Force Protection Annual Refresher Training Course that political protest is "low-level terrorism."
The Training introduction reads as follows:
"Anti-terrorism (AT) and Force Protection (FP) are two facets of the Department of Defense (DoD) Mission Assurance Program. It is DoD policy, as found in DoDI 2000.16, that the DoD Components and the DoD elements and personnel shall be protected from terrorist acts through a high pirority, comprehensive, AT program. The DoD's AT program shall be all encompassing using an integrated systems approach."

The United States is in the midst of the most radical privatization agenda in its history. We see this in schools, health care, prisons, and certainly with the US military/national security/intelligence apparatus. There are almost 200,000 “private contractors” in Iraq (more than US soldiers) and Obama is continuing to use mercenaries there and in Afghanistan and Israel/Palestine. At present, 70 percent of the US intelligence budget is going to private companies.
The plans to implement martial law in America have been taking shape for decades, hidden behind "Continuity of Government" contingency planning. Now, with public outcry over the banker bailout bill at fever pitch, all of the pieces are in place for the U.S. Army to start policing American citizens.
In potentially another blow to advocates of torture and harsh interrogation, transcripts released yesterday show that alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed says he made up stories to appease his interrogators.
Mohammed says he told his questioners he didn’t know the location of Osama Bin Laden, and was tortured as a result.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Under torture, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed said anything he thought would make the torture stop.
Torture, as we have known from the times of the Catholic Inquisition, is about getting a confession, not getting the truth.
One has to wonder just how many "sick pieces of work" in this government were getting immense pleasure from seeing the photos, and reading the reports.
Truly moral Americans would have refused to do this.
And why?
Because:
1. The use of torture by the US, for all practical intents and purposes, pulls us out any and all human rights treaties to which the US has ever been a signatory, including the Geneva Accords.
2. The use of torture by the US is completely antithetical to every core American moral value expressed in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
3. The use of torture by the US makes us a laughingstock for the rest of the world for our hypocracy. People understand that those values our leadership talks about wanting to "export", democracy, human rights, and human dignity, are values they actually hold in the most despicable contempt.
4. The use of torture by the US against foreign nationals and military gives other countries carte blanche to do the same to US foreign nationals and military.
If you have anyone you care about serving in the military, that last one ought to put a shiver up your spine.
BOTTOM LINE: THE US GOVERNMENT DOES NOT HAVE THE MASTERMIND FOR 9-11. THEY NEVER DID. THEY HAVE A PATSY TORTURED INTO A CONFESSION AND THAT IS ALL THE US GOVERNMENT HAS EVER HAD!
"Evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It's classified information." -- US official quoted in Carl Cameron's Fox News report on the target="_blank">Israeli spy ring and its connections to 9-11.
Recent months have seen numerous breakthroughs for the truth movement in the corporate media, from Fox 26's interview with Richard Gage of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth to 9/11 Press For Truth being aired on local television in Colorado to coverage of this year's Bilderberg conference in major British newspapers. Despite these positive developments, however, primetime TV dramas are continuing to portray those skeptical of the official 9/11 story (a clear majority of the American public according to poll after poll) as deranged terrorists who are likely to commit acts of violence.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Anyone think they will even take a respectful pause now that the so-called "Mastermind" of 9-11, Khalid Sheik Mohammed has said he was just making stuff up to stop the torture?
Iraqi prisoners have staged a full-scale hunger strike in protest at reported calculated abuse aimed at forcing false confessions out of them.
"I don't have accurate figures but they number in the hundreds," AFP quoted Ahmed al-Masoudi, a spokesman for the parliamentary bloc loyal to Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.
"They are protesting because they have been systematically tortured and forced to confess to things they didn't do," Masoudi added.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Memo to President Obama: you cannot say "we do not torture" when, apparently, we are still outsourcing it to Iraqis, 6 months into your term of office.
So this is the "democracy" you want to be the legacy of the US invasion and occupation of Iraq?!?
As the world financial and economic crisis comes into its own, the Western political leaders and elites are seeking to impress on mankind the idea that this upheaval will end up ‘turning the world into something different’.
Even though the picture of the 'new world order’ remains vague and fuzzy, the main idea is quite clear: A single global government, goes the argument, has to be established if we don’t want general chaos to prevail.
Intelligence activities, trade of war, penitentiary system, and information control are passing into private hands. This is done through so-called outsourcing, a relatively new business phenomenon that consists of trusting certain functions to private firms that act as contractors and relying on individuals outside an organization to solve its internal tasks.
In 2007, the American government found out that 70% of its secret intelligence budget is spent on private contracts and that “Cold-War intelligence bureaucracy is transforming into something new, where contractor’s interests dominate.” For American society (Congress included), their activities remain classified, which allows them to gather more and more important functions in their hands.
Former CIA employees say that nearly 60% of their staff are on contracts. Those people analyze most of the information, write reports for those who make decisions in state authorities, maintain communications among various security services, help foreign stations, and analyze data interception. As a result, America’s National Security Agency is becoming more and more dependent on private companies that have access to classified information. No wonder, then, that it is lobbying a bill in the Congress that is supposed to guarantee immunity to corporations that have worked with NSA for the last five years.
The same is happening to private military companies (PMCs), which have been assuming more and more army and police functions. On a significant scale, it started in the nineties in former Yugoslavia, but contract workers were especially widely used in Afghanistan and other conflict zones. They did the ‘dirtiest’ actions, as was the case during the war in South Ossetia, where up to 3000 mercenaries were involved. At the moment, PMCs are real armies, each up to 70,000 strong, that operate in over 60 countries, with annual revenues of up to $180 billion (according to Brookings Institution, USA) For example, over 20,000 employees of American PMCs work in Iraq along with the 160,000 American military contingent.
The system of private prisons is also growing rapidly in the US. The prison industry complex, which uses slave labor and sweatshop practices, is flourishing, and its investors are based on Wall Street. The use of convict labor by private corporations has been legalized in 37 states already, and it is used by major corporations such as IBM, Boeing, Motorola, Microsoft, Texas Instrument, Intel, Pierre Cardin, and others. In 2008, the number of inmates in US private prisons was about 100,000, and it is growing rapidly, along with the total number of inmates in the country (mostly African-Americans and Latin Americans), which is 2.2 million people, or 25% of all convicts in the world.
After Bush came to power, privatization of the system for transportation and retention of migrants in concentration camps began. In particular, a branch of the notorious firm Halliburton, Kellog Brown and Root (once headed by Dick Cheney), did just that.
DON'T FORGET THAT ON 9-11 OUR DELAYED AIR RESPONSE WAS DUE TO "WAR GAMES BEING CONDUCTED SIMULTANEOUSLY ELSEWHERE"!! PREPARE YOURSELF!

National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09)
National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09) is scheduled for July 27 through July 31, 2009. NLE 09 will be the first major exercise conducted by the United States government tMore..hat will focus exclusively on terrorism prevention and protection, as opposed to incident response and recovery.
NLE 09 is designated as a Tier I National Level Exercise. Tier I exercises (formerly known as the Top Officials exercise series or TOPOFF) are conducted annually in accordance with the National Exercise Program (NEP), which serves as the nation's overarching exercise program for planning, organizing, conducting and evaluating national level exercises. The NEP was established to provide the U.S. government, at all levels, exercise opportunities to prepare for catastrophic crises ranging from terrorism to natural disasters.
NLE 09 is a White House directed, Congressionally- mandated exercise that includes the participation of all appropriate federal department and agency senior officials, their deputies, staff and key operational elements. In addition, broad regional participation of state, tribal, local, and private sector is anticipated. This year the United States welcomes the participation of Australia, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom in NLE 09.
Thu, 04/23/2009 Napolitano on DHS partnering with ADL.... 1. The ADL has been "training" DHS personnel about "hate" groups and others, which is more than a bit worrisome because the ADL's definition of "hate" isn't trustworthy [1] From adl.org/PresRele/TerrorismIntl_93/5033_93.htm The Department of Homeland Security has contracted with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to provide its specialized training and expertise on extremism, hate groups, domestic and international terrorism, and civil liberties to high-level agency personnel.
I noticed that as of June 6, 2009, the Anti-Defamation League had not yet issued a statement condemning the Zionist hate video that surfaced on June 3, 2009 and since created a firestorm on the internet. I created a response video to note that there was a complete non-response on the issue by the ADL, and to offer some commentary to the video in general. Mondoweiss, the group that made the original video, has some very interesting commentary on the ongoing controvery this has caused, as well as Gawker, who broke the story about Huffington Post censoring the video .
Our new president did not tell a virulent anti-Semite to travel to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington to kill Jews, but he is most certainly creating a climate of hate against us.
It is no coincidence that we are witnessing this level of hatred toward Jews as President Barack Obama positions America against the Jewish state.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Israel claims to be America's only friend in the middle east, but apparently that friendship only exists so long as the USA gives Israel everything Israel wants. The friendship is only as good as the last check.
Israeli Minister without a Portfolio Yossi Peled is advocating for a new approach to the U.S. in Israel until President Barack Obama changes policies on Jewish Settlements and Iran. Amongst his suggestions is a sanctioning of U.S. military equipment, selling sensitive technology to America’s enemies and put domestic political pressure on Democratic candidates by asking American Jews not to donate to them.

The complaint will note that - on October 22, 2007 - Beck suggested that those identifying themselves as associated with the 9/11 truth movement are "dangerous" "anarchists" who deny the Holocaust, and are "the kind of group that Timothy McVeigh would come from."
The suit will also note that during Beck’s June 10th broadcast Beck linked the murder of the WashingtonD.C. holocaust museum guard with "9/11 truthers."
As I have previously written, suing people for defamation who falsely claim that 9/11 activists are terrorists could be a good way to stand up to these bullies.
A. They sure got the name of the guy damned quick. Reminiscent of the 9/11 attacks, where they knew within what seemed like seconds who the perps were.
B. The guy was 100% expendable. The U.S. media is publishing pictures from years ago, where he looks all young and healthy, for some weird reason, while the foreign media is showing him as an old man:
Webmaster's Commentary:
The reason the US media is showing a young photo of Brunnm is that as he looks today he is just not that credible as the face of a new domestic terror threat.
Not unlike Glenn Beck’s idiotic attempt to equate white supremacists with 911 Truth, Daily Kos joins the bandwagon by falsely suggesting that Von Brunn was a supporter of Ron Paul and his political beliefs.
Conveniently, the Daily Kos contributor, using the pseudonym ‘Lefty Coaster’, notes that the alleged gunman posted an anti-Semitic tirade on the Yahoo Message Board ‘Ron Paul for President’.
Besides the obvious fact that the politics of Ron Paul has nothing whatsoever to do with Von Brunn’s obsessive preoccupation with Jews, Daily Kos suggests a kinship with no basis in reality. After the quoted tirade, Von Brunn signs off with an explicit ‘Heil Hitler’- which doesn’t really sound like somebody endorsing the views of the anti-tyranny, individual liberty-promoting Ron Paul.
In potentially another blow to advocates of torture and harsh interrogation, transcripts released yesterday show that alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed says he made up stories to appease his interrogators.
Mohammed says he told his questioners he didn’t know the location of Osama Bin Laden, and was tortured as a result.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Under torture, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed said anything he thought would make the torture stop.
Torture, as we have known from the times of the Catholic Inquisition, is about getting a confession, not getting the truth.
One has to wonder just how many "sick pieces of work" in this government were getting immense pleasure from seeing the photos, and reading the reports.
Truly moral Americans would have refused to do this.
And why?
Because:
1. The use of torture by the US, for all practical intents and purposes, pulls us out any and all human rights treaties to which the US has ever been a signatory, including the Geneva Accords.
2. The use of torture by the US is completely antithetical to every core American moral value expressed in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
3. The use of torture by the US makes us a laughingstock for the rest of the world for our hypocracy. People understand that those values our leadership talks about wanting to "export", democracy, human rights, and human dignity, are values they actually hold in the most despicable contempt.
4. The use of torture by the US against foreign nationals and military gives other countries carte blanche to do the same to US foreign nationals and military.
If you have anyone you care about serving in the military, that last one ought to put a shiver up your spine.
BOTTOM LINE: THE US GOVERNMENT DOES NOT HAVE THE MASTERMIND FOR 9-11. THEY NEVER DID. THEY HAVE A PATSY TORTURED INTO A CONFESSION AND THAT IS ALL THE US GOVERNMENT HAS EVER HAD!
"Evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It's classified information." -- US official quoted in Carl Cameron's Fox News report on the target="_blank">Israeli spy ring and its connections to 9-11.
Recent months have seen numerous breakthroughs for the truth movement in the corporate media, from Fox 26's interview with Richard Gage of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth to 9/11 Press For Truth being aired on local television in Colorado to coverage of this year's Bilderberg conference in major British newspapers. Despite these positive developments, however, primetime TV dramas are continuing to portray those skeptical of the official 9/11 story (a clear majority of the American public according to poll after poll) as deranged terrorists who are likely to commit acts of violence.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Anyone think they will even take a respectful pause now that the so-called "Mastermind" of 9-11, Khalid Sheik Mohammed has said he was just making stuff up to stop the torture?
Iraqi prisoners have staged a full-scale hunger strike in protest at reported calculated abuse aimed at forcing false confessions out of them.
"I don't have accurate figures but they number in the hundreds," AFP quoted Ahmed al-Masoudi, a spokesman for the parliamentary bloc loyal to Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.
"They are protesting because they have been systematically tortured and forced to confess to things they didn't do," Masoudi added.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Memo to President Obama: you cannot say "we do not torture" when, apparently, we are still outsourcing it to Iraqis, 6 months into your term of office.
So this is the "democracy" you want to be the legacy of the US invasion and occupation of Iraq?!?
“Guantánamo’s Hidden History: Shocking Statistics of Starvation” is a report I’ve compiled for Cageprisoners analyzing the weight records for prisoners at Guantánamo (released by the Pentagon in March 2007), which demonstrate that, from January 2002, when the prison opened, until February 2007, when these particular records came to an end, one in ten of the total population — 80 prisoners in total — weighed, at some point, less than 112 pounds (eight stone, or 50 kg), and 20 of these prisoners weighed less than 98 pounds (seven stone, or 44 kg).
Webmaster's Commentary:
So this is what passes as "humanitarian care" for prisoners caged, and in complete legal limbo at Gitmo.
Folks, we have absolutely slid off a cliff in terms of the Geneva Convention's mandates about how prisoners are to be treated.
This means that if American military or civilians get captured by foreign governments, they can expect precisely the same treatment the prisoners at Gitmo have received.
No wonder the rest of the world is laughing at us whenever our politicians pontificate about how they value justice,constitutional government, human rights, and human dignity: the world understands very clearly that the leaders of this country hold these values in absolute and vile contempt.
Just ask any of the guys at Gitmo who cannot be charged under normal American law (because their cases would be thrown out), and may well die there because the US government is totally embarrassed as to how and why they they got there in the first place.
The Times story added, “In order to ease Democratic concerns, the president on Thursday sent Congress a letter saying he would take ‘every legal and administrative remedy’’ to keep the photos sealed. Mr. Graham, who has warned that release of the photos could incite anti-American attacks overseas, said he just wanted the president to go a little further and make an explicit promise of an executive order.”
Webmaster's Commentary:
If Obama actually does sign an executive order preventing these photos from going public, he will have signed on not only to cover-up of the previous administration's abuses; he will have also legitimized torture under his watch, just as long as the torture doesn't get documented.
That's enough to make any moral American puke in their shoes.
The officials say the CIA is urging the suppression of passages describing in graphic detail how the agency handled its detainees, arguing that the material could damage ongoing counterterrorism operations by laying bare sensitive intelligence procedures and methods.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Memo to Leon Panetta; as we have known from the time of the Catholic inquisition, torture is about extracting a confession, with a specific outcome to be obtained.
The use of torture is never about getting to the truth.
The use of torture never has nor will make Americans more safe.
That this country is not coming clean by showing the photos and the reports, and prosecuting those responsible to the fullest extent of the law, is a very clear indication that as a moral society, US political leadership has pushed this country off a cliff, into a yawning chasm of pure evil.
Unless these revelations and judicial processes happen, this country can never consider itself a moral country, ruled by laws, and not by men, ever again.
As lawmakers call for hearings and debate brews over forming commissions to examine the Bush administration's policies on harsh interrogation techniques, Attorney General Eric Holder confirmed to a House panel that intelligence officials who relied on legal advice from the Bush-era Justice Department would not be prosecuted.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Holder has just undone the Nuremberg principle, which is that "We vas only following ze orders" does not excuse war crimes.
In any event, this does NOT affect those who committed acts of torture BEFORE those memos were written!
Attorney General Eric Holder told US senators on Wednesday that fewer than 60 of the 230 detainees at the GuantanamoBay prison could face eventual prosecution while the rest would be cleared for release.
Holder also said that cases of prisoners who face indefinite detention without charge would be periodically reviewed and treated with the due process "consistent with the laws of war."
Webmaster's Commentary:
Memo to Eric Holder: so we have been holding at least 170 innocent men in Gitmo for all this time, when there wasn't really a charge against them that could have even stood up in a military tribunal?!?
And another observation, Attorney General Holder: there is no place in American jurisprudence for "indefinite detention without charge."
It doesn't exist: I defy you to find that in ANY US penal code.
And last, when you make the statement that those "...who face indefinite detention without charge would be periodically reviewed and treated with the due process "consistent with the laws of war.", you are trying (spectacularly badly, I might add) to con the American people yet again.
This country was founded upon the principle of the rule of law, and never the "laws of war": that statement regarding the "laws of war" is an intellectually dishonest dodge at the highest level, and sir, YOU KNOW IT!
. Une voiture électrique imbattable sur des circuits de course!
Vous aviez cette image de voitures électriques qui n'avancent pas ou trop lentement? Hé bien jetez un coup d'oeil à cette voiture! Non seulement personne ne pouvait la battre avec leur muscle car, BMW, etc, mais en plus, elle s'est permis de battre le record mondial et de l'améliorer plusieurs fois la même journée!
This guy is going to ruin everything for the global warming/carbon tax crowd.
Non-polluting cars that are high performance and fun?
Tell me it ain't so Big Al (Gore).
How are we supposed to wallow in "inconvenient truths" if trouble-makers like this mess things up by smoking the car companies with superior home brew engineering?
Remember, the personal computer was the creation of a bunch of unfunded individuals, not the military-industrial complex.
. La campagne de peur pour l'année 2012 commence...
Selon plusieurs calendriers et prophéties, dont particulièrement le calendrier maya, nous terminons un cycle cosmique que certains interprètent comme étant la fin des temps. Si c'est réel, il ne faut pas oublier que la fin de quelque chose signifie le début d'une autre. C'est le principe du Yin et Yang. D'autres nous disent qu'il y a erreur de calcul et qu'en fait 2009 est l'année dont les Mayas parlaient.
Mais une chose est certaine, nous allons assister à une parade de films catastrophes concernant l'année 2012, excitant et terrorisant l'imaginaire collectif, générant une peur paralysante qui risque d'empêcher les gens de choisir consciemment et de bâtir un futur meilleur, plus humain, orienté dans le sens de la Vie.
Voyez la bande annonce du prochain film catastrophe à propos de 2012:
Le document fondamental sur lequel la constitution du Canada repose est l’Acte de l’Amérique du Nord britannique, (British North America Act), ou si vous voulez, la Loi constitutionnelle de 1867. Ce document avait pour but de tracer le cadre dans lequel la colonie britannique du Canada pouvait choisir de devenir une union fédérale entre les provinces, unies par une constitution acceptée par les provinces et surtout, les populations des différentes provinces.
Or, la Loi constitutionnelle de 1867 n’était pas une constitution en soi. Le Canada n’est jamais devenu officiellement une union fédérale. C’était un privilège futur pour les provinces de se réunir en fédération, mais qui n’a pas encore été utilisé: les provinces n’ont toujours pas signé à ce jour d’accords, de pactes, ou de traités entre elles pour créer une union fédérale et un gouvernement fédéral. Selon les interprétations de la section 18, paragraphe 3 du Interpretation Act of 1889, il semble que le Canada soit toujours une colonie munie d’une législature centrale et d’autres locales.
Des provinces complètement souveraines
Étant donné que les provinces doivent jouir la condition de souveraineté et d’indépendance avant qu’elles puissent se fédérer, il était nécessaire pour le gouvernement britannique de renoncer à son autorité sur ces dernières. Cela fut accompli par l’adoption du Statut de Westminster (Statute of Westminster) du 11 décembre 1931. De par la section 7, paragraphe 2, de ce statut, les provinces du Canada ont été consacrées comme étant souveraines, libres et indépendantes dans le but de pouvoir consommer l’union fédérale qu’ils souhaitaient créer en 1867, mais qu’ils ne furent pas autorisées d’accomplir.
Depuis le 11 décembre 1931, les provinces du Canada n’ont pas utilisé leur nouveau statut acquis; elles n’ont signé aucun accord, elles n’ont pas adopté de constitution et les citoyens du Canada n’ont pas ratifié de constitution. Une telle action aurait dû être entreprise immédiatement après l’adoption du Statut de Westminster. C’est pour cette raison que toutes les anomalies de notre présente situation existent. Nous avons essayé depuis 1931 de nous gouverner nous-mêmes au niveau fédéral, sous un instrument qui n’est rien de plus qu’un acte du Parlement impérial ayant pour fonction de gouverner une possession coloniale. Non seulement cette condition anormale prévaut depuis 1931, mais elle l’a été sans qu’aucune référence ne soit faite à la population canadienne. Ils n’ont pas été consultés à propos de quoi que ce soit relativement à ces questions constitutionnelles. Les provinces et la population sont libres de le faire depuis le 11 décembre 1931, mais elles ne l’ont pas fait.
LA QUESTION EST DONC: D’OÙ LE PARLEMENT FÉDÉRAL TIRE-T-IL SON POUVOIR POUR GOUVERNER CE PAYS? Le Parlement impérial ne peut pas créer une union fédérale. Cela ne peut être fait que par le peuple du Canada, et ils ne l’ont pas encore fait. J’affirme donc, avec une majorité de Canadiens, jusqu’à ce que je ratifie une constitution au Canada, qu’il n’y a pas de constitution, et je lance un défi gagnant à toute contradiction de cette affirmation. (Traduction de ce paragraphe)
Le Canada, un pseudo-pays composé de dix provinces indépendantes et souveraines. Est-ce l’image que vous aviez de ce pays?
