Letter from Dianne Feinstein on Netanyahu's Speech

Oh look, another ardent supporter of Israel

 

Dear  TP :

 

Thank you for writing to express your thoughts on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech before a joint session of Congress.  I appreciate the time you took to write, and I welcome the opportunity to respond. 

 

On March 2, 2015, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress to discuss U.S.-Israeli relations and the ongoing P5+1 (a group of countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, China, and Russia) negotiations with Iran regarding Iran's nuclear program.  

 

First, please know that though I attended Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech, I believe the decision by Speaker Boehner to invite Prime Minister Netanyahu to speak before Congress without consulting the administration was a breach of protocol and an unwelcome injection of partisan politics into our nation's foreign policy debate.  This invitation and speech also put the United States in the middle of Israel's March 2015 election, which I believe was highly inappropriate. 

 

Second, Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech powerfully reinforced the close U.S.-Israeli relationship and reaffirmed the United States' continued contribution to Israel's security.  Prime Minister Netanyahu also made clear his concerns with a diplomatic agreement that the P5+1 are attempting to conclude with Iran. 

 

As you may know, since January 2014, Iran and the P5+1 have abided by an interim nuclear agreement known as the Joint Plan of Action, which has frozen and reversed in some respects Iran's nuclear program in exchange for limited sanctions relief.  The purpose of the interim agreement was to facilitate good faith negotiations towards a final, comprehensive agreement that would ensure Iran's nuclear program is exclusively peaceful.  According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran has closely adhered to the Joint Plan of Action, and on April 2, 2015, Iran and the P5+1 announced a framework agreement to produce a final deal by June 30, 2015.

 

With international sanctions in place and Iran's nuclear program halted as a result of the Joint Plan of Action, I have strongly supported the extension of talks and the diplomatic efforts currently underway to resolve concerns about Iran's nuclear program.  I believe these negotiations represent a critical—and possibly the only—opportunity to peacefully curtail Iran's nuclear program. 

 

Consequently, I do not agree with an effort to impose additional sanctions against Iran.  I concur with the judgment of the Intelligence Community that imposing these additional sanctions while we are simultaneously negotiating with Iran would undermine the prospect of a diplomatic resolution.  That is why I oppose additional sanctions against Iran at this time.  

 

Please know that I have taken careful note of the concerns you raised in your letter, and I appreciate your input on these important topics.   

 

Again, thank you for your letter.  I hope you continue to keep me informed on matters of importance to you.  If you have any additional questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact my Washington, D.C., office at (202) 224-3841. Best regards.

Sincerely yours,


  Dianne Feinstein

Heated Debate: US Israeli Hypocrisy in the Middle East

Obama - Netanyahu Row Over Speech to Congress Is Theater, Was Planned in 2009

From RadioFreeBlood

This Dog and Pony show will also help to insure that JEB and the GOP get the uninitiated Jewish vote in 2016 (as planned)

US and Israel attempting to establish feigned “diplomatic row” to justify “unilateral” Israeli attack on Iran.

March 2, 2015 (Tony Cartalucci – LD) – In a 2009 US policy paper published by the corporate-financier funded Brookings Institution, it was made clear that the US was determined to provoke Iran into a conflict and effect regime change at any cost – up to and including an outright military invasion and occupation of Iran with US troops.

However, before it came to that, the Brookings Institution’s policymakers explored other options including fomenting US-backed political unrest coupled with covert, violent force, the use of US State Department listed foreign terrorist organizations to carry out assassinations and attacks within Iran, and limited airstrikes carried out by either the US or Israel, or both.

In retropspect, 6 years on, all of these tricks have not only been attempted to one degree or another in Iran, but have been demonstrably employed in neighboring Syria to diminish its strength – which according to Brookings – is a necessary prerequisite before waging war on Iran.

And of particular interest – considering what appears to be a growing diplomatic row between the United States and Israel – is just how precisely the US planned to covertly back what would be made to appear as a “unilateral” Israeli first strike on Iran – an attack that appears to be in the process of being justified through a carefully orchestrated propaganda campaign now unfolding.

From the Mouths of US Policymakers Themselves 

The Brookings Institution’s 2009 policy paper titled, “Which Path to Persia? Options for a New American Strategy Toward Iran,” makes clear that negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program is merely theater, and that it will be used to give the world the impression that the United States explored all possible “peaceful” options before resorting to violent regime change.  The report states specifically that:

…any military operation against Iran will likely be very unpopular around the world and require the proper international context— both to ensure the logistical support the operation would require and to minimize the blowback from it. The best way to minimize international opprobrium and maximize support (however, grudging or covert) is to strike only when there is a widespread conviction that the Iranians were given but then rejected a superb offer—one so good that only a regime determined to acquire nuclear weapons and acquire them for the wrong reasons would turn it down. Under those circumstances, the United States (or Israel) could portray its operations as taken in sorrow, not anger, and at least some in the international community would conclude that the Iranians “brought it on themselves” by refusing a very good deal.

Of course, Iran – as admitted to by Brookings themselves – is not governed by irrational leadership, and would not turn down a genuinely “superb offer.” The Brookings Institution admits openly that the US pursues a dual track foreign policy – one for public consumption (making “superb offers”) and another aimed at ensuring Iran looks as unreasonable as possible.

At one point in the policy paper, Brookings would state:

The truth is that these all would be challenging cases to make. For that reason, it would be far more preferable if the United States could cite an Iranian provocation as justification for the airstrikes before launching them. Clearly, the more outrageous, the more deadly, and the more unprovoked the Iranian action, the better off the United States would be. Of course, it would be very difficult for the United States to goad Iran into such a provocation without the rest of the world recognizing this game, which would then undermine it. (One method that would have some possibility of success would be to ratchet up covert regime change efforts in the hope that Tehran would retaliate overtly, or even semi-overtly, which could then be portrayed as an unprovoked act of Iranian aggression.)

Here, Brookings policymakers openly conspire to undermine global peace by “goading” another nation into a war it neither wants nor will benefit from. Provoking a nation that poses no threat to the national security of the United States is a clear violation of international law – with the Brookings paper serving as a literal signed confession.

Yet despite this open admission, conspiring against world peace, what is of more interest is the United States’ plans to disavow any responsibility for an attack it would use its regional proxy, Israel, to carry out in its place. It states specifically under a chapter titled, “Allowing or Encouraging an Israeli Military Strike,” that:

…the most salient advantage this option has over that of an American air campaign is the possibility that Israel alone would be blamed for the attack. If this proves true, then the United States might not have to deal with Iranian retaliation or the diplomatic backlash that would accompany an American military operation against Iran. It could allow Washington to have its cake (delay Iran’s acquisition of a nuclear weapon) and eat it, too (avoid undermining many other U.S. regional diplomatic initiatives). 

To no one’s surprise the British Daily Mail now reports in an article titled, “President Obama threatened to shoot down Israeli jets if they attacked Iranian nuclear facilities last year, claim sources,” that:

President Obama is alleged to have stopped an Israeli military attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities in 2014 by threatening to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets, according to reports to emerge from the Middle East at the weekend

The threat from the U.S. forced Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to abort a planned attack on Iraq, reported Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida.

Netanyahu will be in Washington for an address to Congress on Tuesday aimed squarely at derailing Obama’s cherished bid for a diplomatic deal with Tehran. 

Here, the Daily Mail repeats a growing narrative that dovetails neatly into long-standing US foreign policy described by the Brookings Institution’s report in 2009 – down to the letter. In fact, the prospect of “shooting down” Israeli planes was discussed as one of many props used in this geopolitical theater.

The US, as prescribed by Brookings, is portrayed as desperately trying to hammer out an almost unreasonably accommodation with Iran, while “mad dog” Israel seeks to unilaterally attack Iran – thus giving the US the plausible deniability it openly claimed it would disingenuously attempt to create ahead of any Israeli attack on Iran. It should be noted that the summation of Israel’s military might is a result long, extensive, and continuous US military support meaning that Israeli military operation is even possible without it.

Also of interest is Israel’s habitual, belligerent, serial acts of inhumanity against both its own people and the Palestinians whose land Tel Aviv has seized and continues to occupy. The nature of these acts is not one of self-preservation, but of intentional provocation – creating predictable political divides across the West easily manipulated particularly at times like these where a “regrettable” attack made upon Iran, a nation the West has thus far failed to topple with terrorism, US-backed sedition, sanctions, and covert provocations, is now in the cards.

It is also clear that the 2009 “Which Path to Persia?” policy paper still represents a vivid window into a much deeper and well-entrenched doctrine still to this day being used to reorder the Middle East into alignment with Western special interests.  It is a signed confession of a now evident conspiracy against global peace and stability. It should be read, in full, before the United Nations Security Council  before those who wrote it and the corporate-financier interests who sponsored it are brought to international justice.

Anything less proves that the United States and its regional proxies, not Iran, are the rogue states, working against global peace and stability, with many standing examples already of their atrocities on display, and more – apparently – still to come.

Allegiance to Whom? Do Dual Citizens Hold Key Positions in Congress?

I am no investigative reporter.  I don't have the connections nor the time to investigate something like this, but these allegations seem quite plausible considering the enormous influence the Israeli lobby has over the United States government.

Someone should investigate!

Declaring War on ISIS While Ignoring Israeli and Saudi Aggression in Syria

Israel has repeatedly bombed Syria over the last couple of days but this has received ZERO coverage from the media, which oddly enough happens to be dominated by Israeli-sympathizers often referred to as Zionists.

Reuters reports that Israel strikes near the Syrian capital, which Syria's state news agency SANA have said were a "flagrant attack on Syria".  

The attacks have been close to the Syrian capital Damascus, and have reportedly taken out agricultural facilities and warehouses.

As we’ve asked for years, why are we and our allies fighting on the same side as terrorists?

Now Rand Paul forces Congress to vote on Declaring War on ISIS 

Last year, Republican Congressman Ted Cruz opposed U.S. military intervention in Syria, saying the U.S. military shouldn’t be “Al Qaeda’s air force.”

Similarly, former Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich  said that striking Syria would turn the United States military into “al-Qaeda’s air force.”

I guess Israel doesn’t mind being the air force for Al Qaeda. (re-branded as ISIS). Strange bedfellows, indeed …

Then you have stories like these:

As a U.S. Intelligence Asset, Susan Lindauer covered anti-terrorism at
the Iraqi Embassy in New York from 1996 up to the invasion. Independent
sources have confirmed that she gave advance warning about the 9/11
attack. She also started talks for the Lockerbie Trial with Libyan
diplomats. Shortly after requesting to testify before Congress about
successful elements of Pre-War Intelligence, Lindauer became one of the
first non-Arab Americans arrested on the Patriot Act as an “Iraqi
Agent.” She was accused of warning her second cousin, White House Chief
of Staff Andrew Card and Secretary of State Colin Powell that War with
Iraq would have catastrophic consequences. Gratis of the Patriot Act,
her indictment was loaded with “secret charges” and “secret evidence.”
She was subjected to one year in prison on Carswell Air Force Base in
Fort Worth, Texas without a trial or hearing, and threatened with
indefinite detention and forcible drugging to shut her up. After five
years of indictment without a conviction or guilty plea, the Justice
Department dismissed all charges five days before President Obama’s
inauguration. In the first hour, Susan shares her story as a former CIA
asset and provides inside knowledge of the Middle East conflict. We’ll
talk about America’s meddling in the Middle East and what they’re
creating. Later, Susan talks about the US Congress as Israel’s arm chair
warriors in Washington. Everything comes back to Israel. Additionally,
we discuss the important question of who was behind 911. She’ll tell
what happened months before the event. In the second hour, Susan
continues on her prosecution, detailing what happened when the judge
ruled her mentally unfit for trial, thwarting her from speaking the
truth and presenting evidence in court. She also comments on those who
are suspicious of her story. Then, we’ll speak more about the 911
magician trick. Later, we discuss blowback created by the US government
as the descent of American empire.

Missing Links (Israeli involvement in 9/11)

BREAKING: Press Conference on the Role of Foreign Governments in 9/11

Yesterday a press conference was held to discuss the declassification of a 28-page finding on foreign government support of the 9/11 hijackers.  It was almost COMPLETELY IGNORED in the mainstream media with ONE exception, CNN's Jake Tapper did a 15-minute segment.  You can find that video here.

It is absolutely infuriating to anyone with even a modicum of intelligence that in the 21st century United States of America, following the greatest attack on American soil since the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and we are NOT told that foreign agents and governments were involved in financing, coordinating, executing, and covering up the 9/11 massacre.

To truly understand what is being alluded to in these videos, read the stories linked below for more background.

Here is the press release on the conference:

September 10, 2014

Yesterday, Congressmen Walter Jones, Stephen Lynch and Thomas Massie hosted another press conference in their continuing drive to achieve the declassification of a 28-page finding on foreign government support of the 9/11 hijackers. This one, coming two days shy of the 13th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, was marked by emotional appeals from family members of 9/11 victims as well as a survivor at the World Trade Center.

Below, you’ll find the full video of the press conference, including a question-and-answer session that followed prepared remarks. Especially touching are the words of Kaitlyn and Justin Strada, whose father, Tom Strada, was killed at the World Trade Center just four days after Justin was born.

The most sharply-pointed demand for the release of the 28 pages came when Matthew T. Sellitto, whose son Matthew C. Sellitto was killed at the World Trade Center, closed his remarks by saying:

So, if I spoke to (9/11 Commission Chairman) Tom Kean and if I spoke to (9/11 Commission Vice-Chairman) Lee Hamilton, and they told me there’s no security risk, and if the people that gave them the power to run this 9/11 Commission trusted them, and they tell me there’s no security risk, then Mr. President, when you tell me there’s a security risk and that’s the reason you’re not making these public…Mr. President, I call you—a liar. And my son’s dead. And I don’t know all the facts, because Mr. President, you’re lying to me.

28 pages from 9/11 Congressional Joint Inquiry remain classified. What & why is gov't hiding? @jaketapper reports. http://t.co/BEVO04tG8I

Growing National Movement to #Declassify #28Pages of 9/11 Report

— #HeresYourSign (@TwistedPolitix) September 28, 2014

The 9/11 Commission Co-Chairs - Lee Hamilton and Thomas Kean - have called for the 28-page section of the 9/11 Commission Report which is classified to be declassified. Kean said that 60-70% of what was classified shouldn't have been classified in the first place:



Congressman Thomas Massie read the 28 classified pages of the Joint Intelligence Committee Inquiry into 9/11 (the joint Senate and House investigation into 9/11) and immediately called for them to be released to the public:



A bipartisan bill - introduced by congressmen Walter B. Jones (Republican from North Carolina) and Stephen Lynch (Democrat from Massachusetts) - would declassify the 28 pages of the Joint Inquiry which implicate the Saudi government.
Former Congressman Ron Paul is also demanding the 28 pages be declassified:



The Co-Chair of the congressional investigation into 9/11 - Bob Graham - and 9/11 Commissioner and former Senator Bob Kerrey are calling for either a “permanent 9/11 commission” or a new 9/11 investigation to get to the bottom of it.

Senator Graham has lobbied Obama for years to release the 28 pages and to reopen the investigation, but Obama has refused. The former Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee and 9/11 investigator has even resorted to filing Freedom of Information requests to obtain information, but the Obama administration is still stonewalling:

Graham said that like the 28 pages in the 9/11 inquiry, the Sarasota case is being “covered up” by U.S. intelligence. Graham has been fighting to get the FBI to release the details of this investigation with Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and litigation. But so far the bureau has stalled and stonewalled, he said.

And high-level former NSA official Thomas Drake provided testimony to the 9/11 investigations documenting that the "official story" of 9/11 makes little sense, as the intelligence agencies had all of the information they needed to stop it. Drake's testimony has - for no real reason - been classified. Drake is seeking to declassify his testimony to the 9/11 Commission:

I would argue for declassification and release because the 9/11 Commission asked for it in the public interest, my testimony was given to Congress via testimony (oral and written) to investigators as a material witness and whistleblower, because of NSA’s coverup of its accountability for 9/11, and the coverup committed by NSA to obstruct official Congressional investigations, plus declassification is timely in terms of ongoing efforts to reform NSA by Congress and the President.

I do know that my testimony and evidence was fully suppressed and censored as a deep state secret - so secret that it was not included in the classified report of the 9/11 Joint Inquiry.

Indeed, the 9/11 Commission admits that it never got all of the facts ... and many officials are eager to spill the beans about what they know.

Still Urgent Today

Ancient history, you say? Graham notes:

Although it's been more than a decade ago when this horrific event occurred, I think [the questions of who supported the attacks] have real consequences to U.S. actions today.

As Graham told PBS:

We need to have this information now because it’s relevant to the threat that the people of the United States are facing today.

Postscript: People may not remember now, but – at the time – the supposed Iraqi state sponsorship of 9/11 was at least as important a justification for the Iraq war as the alleged weapons of mass destruction. This claim that Iraq is linked to 9/11 has since been debunked by the 9/11 Commission, top government officials, and even – long after they alleged such a link – Bush and Cheney themselves.
But 70% of the American public believed it at the time, and 85% of U.S. troops believed the U.S. mission in Iraq was "to retaliate for Saddam's role in the 9-11 attacks."
Only last year, John Glaser noted:

Significant portions of Americans still believe that Saddam and al-Qaeda were in cahoots and cooperated in the 9/11 attacks. The reason is simple: the administration told them this lie.

An investigation by a committee in the House of Representatives in 2004 identified “237 misleading statements about the threat posed by Iraq that were made by President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Secretary Rumsfeld, Secretary Powell, and National Security Advisor Rice. These statements were made in 125 separate appearances, consisting of 40 speeches, 26 press conferences and briefings, 53 interviews, 4 written statements, and 2 congressional testimonies.”

According to the committee, at least 61 separate statements “misrepresented Iraq’s ties to al-Qaeda.” A Senate investigation in 2006 also covered these lies.

Keeping this lie afloat took some work. The Bush administration, primarily Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld, “applied relentless pressure on interrogators to use harsh methods on detainees in part to find evidence of cooperation between al Qaida and the late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s regime,” McClatchy reported in 2009.

According to Lawrence Wilkerson, chief of staff to Bush’s Secretary of State Powell, “the administration authorized harsh interrogation” in 2002, and “its principal priority for intelligence was not aimed at pre-empting another terrorist attack on the U.S. but discovering a smoking gun linking Iraq and al-Qa’ida.”

Wilkerson is right.
In other words, the failure to conduct a real 9/11 investigation contributed to the Iraq war, torture, and the failure to fix fundamental weaknesses in - and threats to - America's national security.

The Top10 Reasons to Stop the #Cromnibus and #Shutdown the American Govt

Here is a list of at least ten reasons you should support a peaceful revolution in America at this time, which STARTS NOW by stopping the $1.1 trillion budget.  #Cromnibus #ShutItDown.

Centralized Control of Economic Markets - The markets are rigged.  Everything on the stock market, gold, silver, LIBOR, currency markets, HFT, you name it, the evidence is there. #RestoreGlassSteagall #ProhibitHFT

Corporate Control of Our Legal System - The justice system is f*cked.  Eric Holder is in Contempt of Congress for Fast and Furious.  The Supreme Court says corporations are people and any amount of money can secretly flow towards political campaigns (Citizens United) #RepealCitizensUnited

Israeli control of the US Congress, White House, and Pentagon through lobbying, coersion, blackmail, dual citizens, and outright murder and genocide.  For examples see "The Day Israel Attacked America" and "9/11 Missing Links".

Authoritarian Domestic Surveillance - The police state and surveillance state is out of control.  From the NDAA, Patriot Act, to predator drones, and NSA working with high tech to monitor every form of communication, every physical, financial, and digital transaction is recorded and monitored.  They may not have anything on you yet, but they will.  #DefundNSA #NoMoreDrones

Centralized Control of the Economy, Prices, and Wages - The Federal Reserve is a private banking cartel, owned by TBTF banks that bankrupt cities (Detroit, Stockton), counties (Jefferson), and States (Who's first? IL or CA). #AuditTheFed #RestoreGlassSteagall

Quasi Secret Societies and Foreign Agents Control Foreign Policy for Profit -   Skull and Bonesman John Kerry picked up where Hillary left off and is using the CIA and State Dept to coerce and blackmail foreign nations, bringing in the IMF, and NGOs to impose austerity while the Billionaires like Soros, Kissinger, and Brzezinski, Blackstone Group, and Goldman Sachs rape, pillage and plunder. I am talking about Syria, Ukraine, Libya, Sudan, Cuba, Venezuela, and the rest of the countries we currently attempt to destabilize using covert operations.   Sometimes they even use assassins (mercenaries like Blackwater) or KINETIC action in false flag operations to DESTABILIZE foreign countries or worse, to manipulate public opinion to serve a hidden agenda here at home, such as United Nations Agenda 21.  #InvestigateSkullAndBones

In Sickness and in Health - BigPharma and Monsanto are poisoning our food and water.  While much has been done about this to make people aware of genetically modified foods, they are still being slipped in undetected and unlabeled.  Meanwhile Obamacare is being deployed to guarantee long term profits for the pharmaceutical industry and corporate hospitals.  Rates will rise and sickness will rise and they will profit. #KillMonsanto #EndRockefellerMedicine

Loss of Sovereignty, Loss of Property -  Presidents from Bush Sr to Obama are implementing a United Nations plan (#UNAgenda21) to remove private property, disarm Americans, and force the middle class into overpriced high density, stack and pack condos and apartments in mega metropolices in a regionalization power play to create city-states like Rome. #StopUNAgenda21

Corporate Welfare and Legal Bribery - An oligopoly continues to operate with impunity while lobbying Congress and the White House to pass legislation that feeds their mega corporate control and destroys the middle class and small businesses and farms.  #CampaignFinanceReform

A Shadow Government Propaganda Machine -  That same oligarchy controls the media so much that NOTHING gets discussed or debated or presented on TV, news, or radio that doesnt fit the false left right narrative that is simply Divide and Conquer.

Weapons Trade, Subversion and False Flags - The attacks on Benghazi on 9/11/12 were part of a CIA and State Department operation to trade arms from the Libyan invasion through Turkey to the Free Syrian Army and Al Queda in Syria.  An American Ambassador and several others were killed, possibly to stop them from blowing the whistle.  The coverup has been amazing and even includes Hillary Clinton falling and getting amnesia.  Look it up!  The Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission are UNELECTED UNACCOUNTABLE technocrats that manipulate foreign policy for the benefit of their military industrial complex. #Solving911 #Investigate911 #ArrestMcCainForTreason

The Prison Industrial Complex - We have the world's largest prison population, much of which is FOR PROFIT and prisoners are often producing products and engaging in services.  That's slave labor right here in America.

Lies, Damn Lies, and Government Statistics - The govt sanctioned economic data from the Federal Reserve such as "unemployment" is rigged.  When CPI and PPI dont include FOOD and ENERGY or EDUCATION then WTF does it measure?  The measure of money supply changes every time the numbers look bad and the purchasing power of the US dollar has declined as much as 98% since the Federal Reserve coup of 1913.

Obama's Reducation Program - Obama's Common Core is degrading the quality of education in this country - on purpose to create better corporate employees, meanwhile the manufacturing capabilities and critical thinking skills of our country are being wiped out. #CommonCore is a Disease!

Gun Free Zones - Every time a lone nut allegedly pulls off the most unlikely round of assassinations, like the Dark Knight shooter in Aurora, CO, or the Sandy Hook elementary shooting, the Federal government looks for ways to take our guns and defy the second Amendment.

Freedom of the Press, First Amendment - Corporate media lies through its teeth on a daily basis on behalf of the shadow government, perpetuating the left right paradigm in order to divide and conquer us all.  Meanwhile, our ability to speak out, blow the whistle, or even protest has been censored, trampled, and muffled. 

A Nation of Debt - The United States has the largest national debt in the history of the world.  What sort of debt slaves will be required to pay that off? #MonetaryReformAct

Selective Enforcement of Tax Law - The IRS has been accused of orchestrating partisan politics in favor of Barack Obama and the Democratic party in the 2012 selection process.  The fact that Lois Lerner is taking the heat and pleading the 5th should be alarming to everyone.  Let us not forget, the US Attorney General is in contempt of Congress for Fast and Furious.  We need an AG that will prosecute perjury by Clapper, banksters, and more.


No Taxation Without Representation - 1913 was a bad year for the USA.  We got income taxes (started at 1%), the IRS, and the Federal Reserve, all through coersion and deceptive practices.  None of them are Constitutional. #EndtheFed

Military Suicide - Our armed forces are suffering under decades of war and no amount of drone strikes will relieve them.  Suicides are occurring at an alarming rate despite mainstream attempts to dispel that news.

Do you need more? I am sure there are another 100 reasons to stop this administration and Congress from destroying what's left of the country.  

Did I mention that we've been engaged in ENDLESS WAR at TAXPAYER's EXPENSE as part of a corporate welfare program?  50% of the $1.1 trillion spending bill is for the military industrial complex.  Can anyone else see that we are near World War 3 ostensibly over Ukraine, a crisis the US government absolutely provoked.  

 

World War 3 Has Already Begun

Back in March, 2014,  we explained that 11.7% of the world's population was at war and mapped out the key global geopolitical hotspots. However, while Israel, Palestine, Ukraine, and Iraq monopolize the headlines nowadays, they are not the only groups currently at war. Serious armed conflicts are happening all over the world - we just don't hear about them.

Now just today, an article on Zerohedge loops the Pope into this "conspiracy theory"

While we doubt the pope is much of a trader, based on his latest comments, speaking during a visit to Italy's largest military cemetery, where he was commemorating the centenary of World War I and where he said that a "piecemeal" World War III may have already begun, we assume he too would join the confusion of the BIS and every other carbon-based life form, wondering how it is possible that risk assets are at all time highs which the world is not only teetering on the edge of a new global conflict but may have already in fact entered it. Oh wait, the central banks, never mind.



But back to the pope. From BBC:

A "piecemeal" World War III may have already begun with the current spate of crimes, massacres and destruction, Pope Francis has warned.

"War is madness," the Pope said at a memorial to 100,000 Italian soldiers at Redipuglia cemetery near Slovenia. The Argentine Pope has often condemned the idea of war in God's name.

Only last month, Pope Francis said the international community would be justified in using force to stop what he called "unjust aggression" by Islamic State militants, who have killed or displaced thousands of people in Iraq and Syria, including many Christians, the BBC's David Willey reports.

In Saturday's homily, standing at the altar beneath Italy's fascist-era Redipuglia memorial - where 100,000 Italian soldiers killed during WWI are buried, 60,000 of them unnamed, the Pope paid tribute to the victims of all wars.

"Humanity needs to weep, and this is the time to weep," he said. "Even today, after the second failure of another world war, perhaps one can speak of a third war, one fought piecemeal, with crimes, massacres, destruction," he said.

And don't forget S&P500 at all time highs. Because the New Normal, where apparently world war news is the best imaginable news for risk assets.
But while the Pope may be pacifism personified, his grandfather is quote familiar with the concept of world war: he fought in - and survived - Italy's offensive against the Austro-Hungarian empire, in north-east Italy in 1917 and 1918.
That said, we now fully expect futures to open limit up because there is nothing more bullsh for central bank intervention that the world waking up one morning with mushroom clouds all over the place. Just think of all the printing...


Here's a slightly outdated list of the wars happening right now...
This is a slightly older special report from StormCloudUpdates that draws similar conclusions.
