Greece Politely Declines German Annexation Demands

That didn’t take long did it? What’s next? Without the annexation there is not going to be a bail out so prepare for the collapse of the Global financial system when Greece defaults and Portugal, Italy and Spain follow.

Following yesterday’s frankly stunning news that the Troika politely requests that Greece hand over its first fiscal, then pretty much all other, sovereignty to “Europe”, here is the Greek just as polite response to the Troika’s foray into outright colonialism:

• GREEK GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN DECLARES THAT THE BUDGET IS SOLELY ITS RESPONSIBILITY – DJ

What is interesting here is that unlike the highly irrelevant IIF negotiations which will end in a Greek default one way or another, the real plotline that should be followed is this one: because unless Germany, pardon the Troika, gets the one condition it demands, namely “absolute priority to debt service” and “transfer of national budgetary sovereignty“, as well as a “constitutional amendment” thereto. there is no Troika funding deal. Furthermore, since as a reminder the PSI talks are just the beginning, the next step is ensuring compliance, as was noted yesterday (“[ceding sovereignty] will reassure public and private creditors that the Hellenic Republic will  honour its comittments after PSI and will positively influence market access”), any refusal to implement such demands is an automatic dealbreaker.

Fast-tracked oil consents bypass mayor, public

Just in case you still think you’re living in a Democracy!

Gisborne Council officials have already granted exploration consents to Canadian oil companies without seeking public approval – or consulting their own mayor.

The Sunday Star-Times revealed two weeks ago that a joint-venture between TAG Oil and Apache believed there was potential to build “thousands” of onshore wells on the East Coast of the North Island and pump “billions of barrels” of oil.

Documents written by TAG said the area was “literally leaking oil and gas”, and the joint venture was prepared to undertake an “aggressive East Coast Basin programme”.

A Gisborne District Council document, obtained by the Sunday Star-Times, reveals officials have allowed some of the exploration developments without giving the public opportunity to raise any objections.

“Resource consents have recently been issued for activities associated with drilling shallow shot holes and seismic testing,” the paper said. “The environmental impact of this is minimal, and the applications were not notified.”

Iran to restart IAEA nuclear talks

Iran is due to open talks with UN nuclear inspectors on Sunday in an attempt to allay their suspicions of a covert Iranian weapons programme, the first such discussions in more than three years.

The three days of meetings in Tehran between Iranian nuclear officials and a team from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) represent the only diplomatic progress in more than a year, as tensions mount over Iran’s nuclear programme and western attempts to cut off the country’s oil trade.

Diplomats familiar with the visit said that the IAEA team would seek assurances that they will be able to interview key Iranian scientists suspected of past involvement in weapons research, visit sensitive sites and see documents concerning the procurement of dual-use technology. The Iranian government denies it is seeking to make nuclear weapons, insisting its research is for scientific or civil power-generating purposes.

1917: J.P. Morgan bought US corporate media to be 1%’s lying sacks of spin?

Congressman Oscar Callaway lost his Congressional election for opposing US entry into WW 1. Before he left office, he demanded investigation into JP Morgan & Co for purchasing control over America’s leading 25 newspapers in order to propagandize US public opinion in favor of his corporate and banking interests, including profits from US participation in the war. Mr. Callaway alleged he had the evidence to prove Morgan associates were working as editors to select and edit articles, with the press receiving monthly payments for their allegiance to Morgan.

Selling War: “You Furnish the Pictures, and I’ll Furnish the War.”

By Stephen Lendman

Throughout its history, America glorified wars in the name of peace. From inception, they’re perpetuated against one or more domestic or foreign adversaries.

They include mass killing, assaults and abuse. Pacifism’s called sissy or unpatriotic. Propaganda insists America’s peace-loving. In fact, more than ever today, it’s addicted to permanent war and violence.

Nonetheless, initiating them requires public support. Famed US journalist Walter Lippmann coined the phrase “manufacture of consent.” It’s a euphemism for mind control.

In 1917, George Creel first used it successfully to turn pacifist Americans into raging German-haters. It works the same way now. In 1916, Woodrow Wilson was reelected on a pledge of: “He Kept Us Out of War.” Straightaway, he began planning US involvement.

In April 1917, he established the Committee on Public Information (CPI or Creel Committee). It operated through August 1919. Its mission was enlisting public support for war and undermining opposition sentiment.

The small world of 9/11 players: LS2, Vidient and AMEC

From Kevin Ryan’s blog and as always seriously detailed:

Detailed investigation reveals unexpected connections among people who played critical roles related to the attacks of September 11, 2001.  Earlier articles have covered some of those connections with respect to the World Trade Center (WTC) and the official reports which were produced to explain the WTC events.[i]^,[ii]  This article will begin to outline a wider set of connections that encompasses more aspects of 9/11.  Readers may find that, with respect to the 9/11 attacks and those who were responsible for protecting us from terrorism, it is a small world after all.

Barry McDaniel came to the WTC security company Stratesec, in 1998, to become its Chief Operating Officer.  In the years before 9/11, Stratesec had contracts to provide security services not only for the WTC, but also for United Airlines, which owned two of the planes hijacked on 9/11, and Dulles Airport, where American Airlines Flight 77 took off that day.

Willy Rodriques on Rosie’s radio show: the last man out is still standing and talking about 911

William Rodriques is a hero. He was the last man out alive when the North tower he worked in collapsed in free fall speed on 911. He only survived because he was able to dive under a fire engine and had to be dug out after the tower had collapsed.

20091106_rosieodonnell_williamrodriguez.mp3

He was the last man out because he had a master key of the tower and helped to save hundreds of people when he selflessly returned to the building time time and again to try and save as many people as he could.

As was to be expected he was given a heroes welcome at the White House  and his heroism was celebrated until it became clear that his recount of the horrible events of that day did not coincide with the official conspiracy theory. The one which claims that 19 young Arabs managed to confuse the entire military system of the US on the orders of a maniacal Extremist who lived in a cave in Afghanistan and who flew two planes into the twin towers and one into the Pentagon and the heroes aboard a fourth plane managed to down that plane before it could hit the White House.

Willy told about explosions in the basement and before the plane hit the building. He told about the destruction of the lobby and the sprinkler system which had been activated by these explosions before the plane hit the building and how people were drowning in elevator shafts not because of Kerosine pouring into them but because of the water from the sprinkler system.

He was one of the people who forced the 911 commission into existence against the will of the US Government and testified behind closed doors to the commission only to find his entire testimony erased from the report and his name not mentioned once.

I just found this file back. It is the interview Willy gave to Rosie O’Donnell who lost her job on the panel of the TV program the View because she dared to book Willy to appear on the View to tell his story. It is a powerful testimony of what really happened on 911 and it is a powerful testimony as to why we need a new and independent investigation into the events of that day.

Iran gives Europe the finger and takes away the oil or how you don’t fuck with the Persians

If the sorry parade of European poodles – or what analyst Chris Floyd delightfully dubbed Europuppies – had any understanding of Persian culture, they would have known that blowback for their declaration of economic war in the form of an Iranian oil embargo would be nothing short of heavy metal.

Better yet; death metal. The Majlis (Iranian parliament) will discuss this Sunday, in an open section, whether to cancel right away all oil exports to any European country that approved the embargo – according to Emad Hosseini, the rapporteur of the Majlis Energy Committee. And that comes with the requisite apocalyptic warning, relayed via the Fars news agency, courtesy of member of Parliament Nasser Soudani: “Europe will burn in the fire of Iran’s oil wells.”

Helga’s bar or how building a financial empire on broke alcoholics is not a good idea (unless you get bailed out by non-drinking middle class idjits)

Here is a dummies guide to what went wrong in Europe:

Helga is the proprietor of a bar.

She realizes that virtually all of her customers are unemployed alcoholics
and, as such, can no longer afford to patronize her bar.

To solve this problem, she comes up with a new marketing plan that allows
her customers to drink now, but pay later.

Helga keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger (thereby granting the
customers’ loans).

Word gets around about Helga’s “drink now, pay later” marketing strategy
and, as a result, increasing numbers of customers flood into Helga’s bar.

Soon she has the largest sales volume for any bar in town.

By providing her customers freedom from immediate payment demands, Helga
gets no resistance when, at regular intervals, she substantially increases
her prices for wine and beer, the most consumed beverages. Consequently, Helga’s gross sales volume increases massively.

Star Wars: False Flag Terrorism explained

Even Israel Admits that Iran Has Not Decided to Build a Nuclear Bomb

The intelligence assessment Israeli officials will present later this week to [Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin ] Dempsey indicates that Iran has not yet decided whether to make a nuclear bomb.

The Israeli view is that while Iran continues to improve its nuclear capabilities, it has not yet decided whether to translate these capabilities into a nuclear weapon – or, more specifically, a nuclear warhead mounted atop a missile. Nor is it clear when Iran might make such a decision.

Defense Minister Ehud Barak said on Wednesday that Israel was “very far off” from a decision about an attack on Iran over its nuclear program.

Barak was speaking on Israel’s Army Radio ahead of a planned visit this week by U.S. armed forces chief General Martin Dempsey that has triggered speculation Washington would press Israel to delay any action against Tehran’s nuclear program.

Pregnant orang-utan protectively hugs her daughter as ruthless Borneo bounty hunters move in for the kill

This fills me with infinite sadness.

As bounty hunters with bush knives entrapped them in a circle and moved in for the kill, the only thing this mother orang-utan could think to do was to wrap a giant protective arm around her daughter.

The pair seemed to be facing a certain death as a gang of hunters surrounded them in Borneo, keen to cash in on the palm oil plantations’ bid to be rideof the animals.

But, happily, a team from the British-based international animal rescue group Four Paws arrived in time to stop the slaughter and saved their lives.

The pregnant mother and daughter were captured and moved to a remote and safe area of the rainforest and released back into the wild – but not before the mother was equipped with a radio device so she and her young can be tracked to ensure they remain safe.

‘Our arrival could not have been more timely,’ said Dr Signe Preuschoft, a Four Paws primate expert.

The Silent Anschluss: Germany Formally Requests That Greece Hand Over Its Fiscal Independence

Once when we were on holiday in Greece on the Island of Crete we visited a restaurant to have a drink we were sitting outside and it was a warm and beautiful night and we were talking to some of the locals.

One of the people we were talking too asked if we were Germans and to my horror I saw he had a knife out and pointed towards my husband. I told him we were Dutch and New Zealander and he put his knife away. The next morning we went to another place to have breakfast and to our surprise the prices had dropped by about 75%. What’s more people shouted us drinks (yep in the morning) and we were told that we were OK because we were not Germans. That is how much the Greeks still hate the Germans who killed many thousands of Greek in the second World War.

If you think the Greek don’t understand what is happening I have a bridge in New York you might like to buy.

It was tried previously (several times) under “slightly different” circumstances, and failed. Yet when it comes to taking over a country without spilling even one drop of blood, and converting its citizens into debt slaves, Germany’s Merkel may have just succeeded where so many of her predecessors failed. According to a Reuters exclusive, “Germany is pushing for Greece to relinquish control over its budget policy to European institutions [ZH: read ze Germans] as part of discussions over a second rescue package, a European source told Reuters on Friday.” Reuters add: “There are internal discussions within the Euro group and proposals, one of which comes from Germany, on how to constructively treat country aid programs that are continuously off track, whether this can simply be ignored or whether we say that’s enough,” the source said.’ So while the great distraction that is the Charles Dallara “negotiation” with Hedge Funds continues (as its outcome is irrelevant: a Greece default is assured at this point), the real development once again was behind the scenes where Germany was cleanly and clinically taking over Greece. Because while today it is the fiscal apparatus, tomorrow it is the legislative. As for the executive: who cares. At that point Goldman will merely appoint one of its retired partners as Greek president and Greece will become the first 21st century German, pardon, European colony. But at least it will have its precious euro. We can’t wait until Greek citizens find out about this quiet coup.

2-minute video: USS Enterprise false flag target for US War Criminals to attack Iran?

Iran’s nuclear energy and medical isotopes are all legally accounted for in IAEA inspections with zero evidence of unlawful use of nuclear material or technology; President Obama leads the lies of “Iran’s weapons” for another criminal war. Mr. Obama also leads the lies that Iran’s president threatened Israel when the speech is absolutely clear he said Israel’s government will fall from within if they don’t respect democracy for Palestine. A third lie is of omission to never mention that the US overthrew Iran’s democracy from 1953-1979, and then supported an unlawful invasion via Iraq from 1980-1988 that mass-murdered about one million Iranians.

We also know that all “reasons” for US wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were known to be lies as they were told. Anyone who understands the crystal-clear letter and spirit of US war law can verify that US wars are not even close to lawful.

Are George Soros, The IMF And The World Bank Purposely Trying To Scare The Living Daylights Out Of Us?

So far Soros has a finger in every dirty pie, no compunction about manipulating global events and entire Nations so I’m not in any doubt he is doing exactly that. But I also think that we are indeed heading to collapse and chaos.

Over the past couple of weeks, George Soros, the IMF and the World Bank have all issued incredibly chilling warnings about the possibility of an impending economic collapse.  Considering the power and the influence that Soros, the IMF and the World Bank all have over the global financial system, this is very alarming.  So are they purposely trying to scare the living daylights out of us?  Soros is even warning of riots in the streets of America.  Unfortunately, way too often top global leaders say something in public because they want to “push” events in a certain direction.  Do George Soros and officials at the IMF and World Bank hope to prevent a worldwide financial collapse by making these statements, or are other agendas at work?  We may never know.  But one thing is for sure – many of the top financial officials in the world are using language that is downright “apocalyptic”, and that is not a good sign for the rest of 2012.

Right now, George Soros is saying things that he has never said before.  Just check out what George Soros recently told Newsweek….

“I am not here to cheer you up. The situation is about as serious and difficult as I’ve experienced in my career,” Soros tells Newsweek. “We are facing an extremely difficult time, comparable in many ways to the 1930s, the Great Depression. We are facing now a general retrenchment in the developed world, which threatens to put us in a decade of more stagnation, or worse. The best-case scenario is a deflationary environment. The worst-case scenario is a collapse of the financial system.”

Contrary to Widespread Claims, There Is NO EVIDENCE that Iran Is Building a Nuclear Weapon

Even Israel admits Iran is not even trying to build a nuclear weapon and while Israel has hundreds of nukes illegally Iran which has signed on to the non-proliferation treaty legally has the right to peaceful use of nuclear energy (I hate nuclear energy with a vengeance but we are talking international legal matters here)

 

Earlier this month, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said:

Are they [the Iranians] trying to develop a nuclear weapon? No. But we know that they’re trying to develop a nuclear capability. And that’s what concerns us.

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper confirmed in a Senate hearing – following the release of the classified National Intelligence Estimate in 2011 – that he has a “high level of confidence” that Iran “has not made a decision as of this point to restart its nuclear weapons program.”

Mohamed ElBaradei – who spent more than a decade as the director of the IAEA – said that he had not “seen a shred of evidence” that Iran was pursuing the bomb.

Six former ambassadors to Iran within the last decade say that there is no evidence that Iran is building nuclear weapons, and that Iran is complying with international law.

The International Atomic Energy Agency states:

All nuclear material in the facility remains under the Agency’s containment and surveillance.

In other words, all nuclear fuel is accounted for and is being controlled and monitored by the international agency tasked with nuclear non-proliferation.

Developments in the Iran situation

The huge war thread to be played as and when the financial elite can no longer hide their epic malfeasance and they need a diversion is continuing to deteriorate. Here are some pointers:

• European countries have not agreed to and economic oil boycott. It will sign no more contracts with Iran and will break the existing ones June 1th.
• 11 US Warships are no permanently in the Strait of Hormus. One of with is the USS enterprise expected to be the sacrificial lamb in a possible false flag attack.
• Iran has vowed to block the strait of Hormus which will trigger, in all likelihood, a nuclear response from the US and NATO.
• Both India and China have announced to continue to buy oil from Iran with India pledging to pay in gold while the embargo stretches to Iran not being allowed to trade in Gold and Silver.
• Israel has announced to give the US only a 24 hours in advance warning of an attack on Iran.
• PressTV, the Iranian English new channel has been banned in England in an attempt to shut down news different from the BBC and other government mouth pieces

Just in case you think there are free elections in the USA

Think again!

Foreknowledge: BBC and CNN announce the collapse of WTC 7 in advance of the actual collapse.

Italy Police Busts Fitch Milan Office

Right action, wrong rating agency. Standard & Poor is owned by the too big to fail banksters and would have been a much better choice!

The USS Europa Discorida story just gets more and more surreal.

• ITALY PROSECUTORS WIDEN RATINGS AGENCY PROBE TO FITCH, UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR MARKET ABUSE, INSIDER TRADING – INVESTIGATIVE SOURCE
• ITALY FINANCE POLICE SEARCHING FITCH OFFICE IN MILAN, ANSA SAYS

S&P maybe? Sure. But piss off the French rating agency? As if anyone even trades in collusion with the completely unmoving announcements by the most irrelevant of the NRSROs? This is just the definition of irrational Italian scapegoating which will do nothing to help Italy-French relations, but at least it will provide “justification” for Fitch’s evil downgrade when it comes – after all it was obviously in retaliation for the Italian police just doing its job. Finally, how long would an Egan-Jones office in Milan stand before it was burned to the ground: 1 week? 1 day? 1 hour?

Judge says Obama must appear in ‘birther’ suit

This could be interesting!

WASHINGTON — A judge in Georgia has ordered President Barack Obama to appear in court this week in a lawsuit challenging whether he is a natural-born US citizen qualified to be president.

The latest case was spawned by the so-called “birther” movement that has made claims — which have not been substantiated — that Obama was born overseas.

Although it is unclear whether a court could force a sitting president to appear in a court case, Georgia Deputy Chief Judge Michael Malihi has denied a motion by the president’s lawyer to quash a subpoena that requires Obama to show up.

A Georgia resident made the complaint, which is intended to keep Obama’s name off the state’s ballot in the March presidential primary.

San Diego AE911Truth Action Group Reaches Out to Military Community: An Uplifting Report from the USS Midway Berth

On the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, many commemorations were being held across the nation. While an official ceremony to show support for the war in Afghanistan was taking place on the deck of the retired USS Midway in San Diego, a group of 9/11 activists was set up across the way with an impressive 40-foot-long display of photos and information on what really happened that fateful day.

Air Force Lt. Col. David Gapp (Ret.) educates passersby about 9/11 Truth in the same uniform he wore in the latest ad from the Remember Building 7 campaign

This is no ordinary band of street activists. San Diegans for 9/11 Truth includes an impressive group of experts who give one Sunday per month to freely share their collective knowledge on the subject. On hand were Dwain Deets, former NASA Chief of Aerospace Projects Director; Ret. Air Force Lt. Col. David Gapp, former crash site investigator; Ted Muga, former Naval aviator, retired Commander and retired Pan Am pilot; Jerry Bischoff, retired architect; and Ginger Gainer, retired American Airlines flight attendant and purser. Members of Veterans for Peace also provided support – including Vietnam and Iraq War vets.

“Gaddafi” loyalists take back Bani Walid or we have a civil war on our hands in Libya

I’m sure the Gaddafi loyalists are not necessarily loyalists to the former despot but more likely to be of the same tribe as the Gaddafi family meaning tribes are now warring with each other as in  civil war.

Gaddafi Loyalists ‘Seize Libyan Town’

6:02pm UK, Monday January 23, 2012

Fighters loyal to Muammar Gaddafi have seized control of the town of Bani Walid, a pro-Libyan government militia member has said.

“They control the town now. They are roaming the town,” the militia member, in Bani Walid, told Reuters news agency.

Fierce clashes in the town, located about 90 miles (140km) southeast of Tripoli and a former regime stronghold, broke out this morning.

A Bani Walid resident claimed the violence started when Gaddafi loyalists angry over the arrest of one of their men attacked revolutionary fighters in the town.

The fighting is said to have originally centred around the revolutionary brigade’s base, but then spread to other parts of the town.

Mahmoud al Warfali, a spokesman for the revolutionary brigade in Bani Walid, said up to 150 pro-Gaddafi fighters had battled revolutionary forces in the streets with rocket-propelled grenades and AK-47s.

The thing with Fukushima is that it’s just getting worse

No sooner had TEPCO announced that the Fukushima was in cold shut down or it had to admit that the fuel in the second reactor had disappeared meaning a cold shut down was impossible. In fact TEPCO had to admit the radiations levels are rising by some 20%.

Here are the observations of the owner of Washington’s blog who as usual makes an airtight case with the many, many links he supplies in order to allow you to verify for yourself.

And what does the global elite, who just love nuclear energy because you can put a meter on it and keep energy monopolised, do about this epic fail? Well raising the levels of what is acceptable seems to be the main action. I feel much saver now don’t you?
