An era ends as Japan’s LDP is swept from power

Now this is interesting. Apart from the fact that a political shift of this magnitude is always interesting it also brings into power the party to which Yukihisa Fujita belongs. I have met and spoken with Yuki as he is known in the truth movement made history when he confronted the Foreign Policy and Defense Committee of the Japanese Diet, House of Councillors in January 2008 about his doubts about the official US government conspiracy theory relating to the events of 911.

It will be interesting to see what will happen next and if the new government will investigate the events anew.

It was a victory of unprecedented proportions for the party led by Yukio Hatoyama. No other party in Japanese political history has ever doubled its representation in the Diet. The DPJ almost tripled the number of seats it held when Prime Minister Taro Aso dissolved the lower house on 20 July. Despite bad weather caused by an approaching typhoon, voter turnout had been projected at 70 per cent.

Gerald Curtis of Columbia University, an expert on Japanese politics, said: “There aren’t many junctures in Japan’s post-war politics when you can say, ‘That was a day that history changed.’ Today was such a day.”

Mr Aso told reporters he would resign as party president to take responsibility for the LDP’s drubbing and schedule a party leadership election.

The LDP’s failure to find a solution to Japan’s protracted economic woes was the strongest reason for the unprecedented humiliation the party suffered. “Nothing will ever change under the LDP,” said Ami Nitano, 20, voting for the first time in her Chiba constituency north of Tokyo, explaining why she voted DPJ.

Vera Lynn, the Taliban and the SAS: the propaganda is in full swing.

With the news that a man had his nose and ears cut off because he was defying the Taliban in the recent election and the news that Vera “we’ll meet again” Lynn was back in the charts (splendid timing) we have reached a new level of propaganda geared towards getting New Zealand more involved in the hideous war in Afghanistan.

Recovery underway: Bollard

Once again there is a recovery on the way according to  our own NZ Bernanke.
Of course there is no recovery on the way unless the central bank are about to spend the 9 billion they were given of the bail out money the New York Federal reserve was given to bail out their buddies on say serious job creation and helping out the idiots who thought that house prices would always go up.

With over 400 banks on the high risk list, foreclosures rampant, dairy and crop prices slumping and no real production jobs in sight the US is not going to be our economic saviour any time soon.

Apart from that the Federal Reserve is holding the worlds economy to ransom with their thread to collapse the economic (read financial system) system if required to open their books and show where the 700 billion went to.

A dire situation as both Bollard and John Key full well know.

Held In A Psychiatric Ward; Called “Delusional” For Saying 9/11 Was An Inside Job

I have met Clare and she is an eminently sane and rational human being.
It is extremely scary to think that she has been held for 11 days in a mental ward just for saying that 911 is an inside job.

Just for those of you who still believe that the events of 911 were perpetrated by 19 crazed Muslims with a manic leader in a cave  in Afghanistan listen to this Danish scientist explaining why Nano thermite should not have been in the dust of the WTC buildings.

Don’t worry it has English subtitles

———————————

I was wrongly diagnosed as delusional by the psychiatric staff of Ward 7 at Northland Base Hospital in Whangarei and held against my will for 11 days in mid-2006, because I maintained the attacks of 9/11 were orchestrated by criminal elements inside the US Administration.

A definition of delusional: relating to,  based on, or affected by delusions.  A delusion: a false belief strongly held in spite of invalidating evidence, especially as a symptom of mental illness.

In light of the definition, one of the most astounding aspects to the ordeal was that when I met with the chief psychiatrist, Dr Carlos Zubaran for two formal mental health assessments,  I held Issue 3 of Uncensored, which is shown in the picture above, and asked him to look at information related to the 9/11 attacks.  This magazine contained an article I’d written entitled: Why Does TVNZ Lie To Us About 9/11?, which cited evidence that proved the official fable was a lie – yet reminiscent of the fabled vampires afraid of the light of day, he refused to even cast his eyes over it, during both of the so-called “assessments.”

Blackwater: CIA Assassins?

About three years ago I started a blog called: All you need is a crazy rich guy.

On this blog I documented the events of 911 and my wakeup to the fact that the events of 9/11 were a false flag operation. I also asserted on this blog that Eric Prins, the owner of what was than called Blackwater and now Xe was in fact involved in the crimes perpetrated on that day.

In the last two weeks more facts about Blackwater’s covert role in CIA operations have been revealed showing  that I may have been more correct than I ever wanted to be.

In April 2002, the CIA paid Blackwater more than $5 million to deploy a small team of men inside Afghanistan during the early stages of US operations in the country. A month later, Erik Prince, the company’s owner and a former Navy SEAL, flew to Afghanistan as part of the original twenty-man Blackwater contingent. Blackwater worked for the CIA at its station in Kabul as well as in Shkin, along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, where they operated out of a mud fortress known as the Alamo. It was the beginning of a long relationship between Blackwater, Prince and the CIA.

Now the New York Times is reporting that in 2004 the CIA hired Blackwater “as part of a secret program to locate and assassinate top operatives of Al Qaeda.” According to the Times, “it is unclear whether the CIA had planned to use the contractors to capture or kill Qaeda operatives, or just to help with training and surveillance.”

The Times reports that “the CIA did not have a formal contract with Blackwater for this program but instead had individual agreements with top company officials, including the founder, Erik D. Prince, a politically connected former member of the Navy Seals and the heir to a family fortune.” A retired intelligence officer “intimately familiar with the assassination program” told the Washington Post, “Outsourcing gave the agency more protection in case something went wrong.” The Post reported that Blackwater “was given operational responsibility for targeting terrorist commanders and was awarded millions of dollars for training and weaponry, but the program was canceled before any missions were conducted.”

“What the agency was doing with Blackwater scares the hell out of me,” said Jack Rice, a former CIA field operator who worked for the directorate of operations, which runs covert paramilitary activities for the CIA. “When the agency actually cedes all oversight and power to a private organization, an organization like Blackwater, most importantly they lose control and don’t understand what’s going on,” Rice told The Nation. “What makes it even worse is that you then can turn around and have deniability. They can say, ‘It wasn’t us, we weren’t the ones making the decisions.’ That’s the best of both worlds. It’s analogous to what we hear about torture that was being done in the name of Americans, when we simply handed somebody over to the Syrians or the Egyptians or others and then we turn around and say, ‘We’re not torturing people.’”

Reached by telephone, Illinois Democrat Jan Schakowsky, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said that because of her oath of secrecy on sensitive intelligence issues, she could neither confirm nor deny that Congress was aware of Blackwater’s involvement in this program before the Times report. Schakowsky also declined to comment on whether Blackwater came up at a June briefing by CIA director Leon Panetta, which she attended. That briefing sparked calls for an investigation into whether Vice President Dick Cheney ordered the CIA to conceal an assassination program from Congress.

“What we know now, if this is true, is that Blackwater was part of the highest level, the innermost circle strategizing and exercising strategy within the Bush administration,” Schakowsky told The Nation. “Erik Prince operated at the highest and most secret level of the government. Clearly Prince was more trusted than the US Congress because Vice President Cheney made the decision not to brief Congress. This shows that there was absolutely no space whatsoever between the Bush administration and Blackwater.”

John Key’s going up in the world

Wow, a whole week of no access to internet and news. It took me two days to just get back up and running again.

So what’s up?

John Key is meeting with Obama and going on the late show with Letterman, NZ is going to destroy some of it’s pristine nature reserves, big business is going to build huge roads to get the loot out of the country and John Key thinks that a currency shared with Australia is a midly good idea which means that our “Democracy” is a good as gone because he who prints the money rules. Something our smiling assassin is very aware of being a bankster.

It seems the rape of New Zealand is going according to plan and John Key is doing a damn fine job for his rich prick mates.

Finally online again

I understand that people need to be able to  stand up for themselves and that sometimes the only way is to go on a strike but when you desperately want to be online again after moving house patience is hard to come by. But at least I’m online again.

Who is funding the Afghan Taliban? You don’t want to know

Up until quite recently, most experts thought that drug money accounted for the bulk of Taliban funding. But even here opinion was divided on actual amounts. Some reports gauged the total annual income at about $100 million, while others placed the figure as high as $300 million — still a small fraction of the $4 billion poppy industry.

It is of course known to all but the dimmest that al Qaeda and the Taliban have largely been funded and organised by the US. It was only when the Taliban overplayed their cards when they did not want to permit an oil pipe through their country and they finished the opium business that the US attacked their country.

The war against Afghanistan  was as was known by all but the dimmest planned long before the 9/11 attacks and perhaps, if you are still naive enough to believe the official conspiracy theory about the 9/11 attacks you might believe that we  are only in Afghanistan to do the right thing (whatever that may mean) but when you realise that the US is actually financing the Taliban than surely you must  be against sending NZ SAS troops into that godforsaken place.

KABUL — It is the open secret no one wants to talk about, the unwelcome truth that most prefer to hide. In Afghanistan, one of the richest sources of Taliban funding is the foreign assistance coming into the country.

Virtually every major project includes a healthy cut for the insurgents. Call it protection money, call it extortion, or, as the Taliban themselves prefer to term it, “spoils of war,” the fact remains that international donors, primarily the United States, are to a large extent financing their own enemy.

“Everyone knows this is going on,” said one U.S. Embassy official, speaking privately.

It is almost impossible to determine how much the insurgents are spending, making it difficult to pinpoint the sources of the funds.

Mullah Abdul Salaam Zaeef, former Taliban minister to Pakistan, was perhaps more than a bit disingenuous when he told GlobalPost that the militants were operating mostly on air.

“The Taliban does not have many expenses,” he said, smiling slightly. “They are barefoot and hungry, with no roof over their heads and a stone for their pillow.” As for weapons, he just shrugged. “Afghanistan is full of guns,” he said. “We have enough guns for years.”

Jewish Fatah delegate nominated to Revolutionary Council

Now how did the Palestinian people who, so we are told, are all anti Semites and want to kill all Jews get to vote a Jew into the revolutionary council?

Bethlehem – Ma’an – A Jewish member of Fatah was nominated for a spot on the movement’s Revolutionary Council on Saturday.

Vowing to step up lobbying efforts worldwide if elected, Dr Uri Davis told Ma’an one of Fatah’s weakest attributes has been its failure to establish ties with international parties, movements and human rights organizations.

In an interview, Davis played down the significance of his nomination to the Revolutionary Council, Fatah’s 130-member governing body. Each member of the movement has the right to run for office despite one’s religion, race or color, the Fatah delegate noted.

Obama, the change that never came and equal opportunity caricatures.

As the people of the US are rapidly finding out there is no difference between the Obama Government and the Bush Government. The people behind the two pupets remain the same and the wars keep on raging. The banksters are getting bail out after bailout and the promised health care changes are turning out to be a total sham.

Needless to say than that the people who voted for change are getting somewhat irritable.

And as angry citizens are wont to do they make their opinion heard and seen. One of such opinions is that thousands of people thinking that Obama is like the Joker and in good democratic fashion they make that opinion known.

So without further ado I give you Obama the Joker.

It comes with subtitles such as Socialism, New World Order, Infowars.com and it looks like this:

The mass media has a hard time getting rid of it and has decided that stigmatising the people who spread this poster as Rightwing, racist rednecks was the way to go. So those same people who are spreading this poster have now come up with a new poster to show that the New World Order puppets from the left and the right are just the same face of the the powers that be they came up with this one:

So just in case you’re wondering: we are equal opportunity poster spreaders. They are just a different face on the same global elite who want us to believe that there is still a Democracy in the US.

I can’t wait for someone to do one on John Key. Anyone out there game enough?

Missing ‘ghost ship’ Arctic Sea spotted off Cape Verde

Now isn’t that interesting? The Russian ship which has been missing since 4 August 2009 has been found back near the Cape Verde Islands. What happened to this ship and why there?

The cargo ship that mysteriously disappeared off the English Channel has been found 400 miles off the coast of the African nation Cape Verde, the French Defence Ministry said tonight.

Earlier today rumours that the ship had been spotted off the West African nation had been reported but unconfirmed.

However this afternoon the AFP, quoting a coastguard, is claiming that the ship has been found 400 miles off the coast of the former Portuguese colony.

Found: The Arctic Sea, which had disappeared off the English Channel, has been spotted off West Africa

‘The Arctic Sea is some 400 nautical miles off one of the islands of Cape Verde, therefore outside its territorial waters,’ a Cape Verde coastguard official told the AFP news agency.

French officials also said they had found a ship resembling the missing Arctic Sea near the Cape Verde islands, according to Defence Ministry spokesman Capt. Jerome Baroe.

He said details had been relayed to Russian and Maltese authorities.

Russia’s ambassador to Cape Verde said a Russian naval frigate was headed to the area.

Forging a “New World Order” Under a One World Government Global Power and Global Government: Part 4

This is number four of the series on how the Global Elite is building global hegemony of the wealthy few over the great unwashed. That’s you me and everybody else other than them. Prepare for the dismantling of the “middle” class and return to serfdom. And yes, John Key is doing their bidding over here.

How to bring about the destruction of the middle class? First make sure you have the monopoly over the creation of a Nations money supply.

Second make sure that the currency is backed by nothing of real value. That’s called printing Fiat money or money out of thin air.

Third outsource all wealth producing jobs to third world countries.

Fourth print enough money to deflate it and build a housing bubble by lending said middle class irresponsible amounts of money, give them credit cards and tell them that house prices will continue to rise for ever.

Then when you’ve got a sufficient members of said middle class up to their eye balls in debt contract the amount of credit available and watch the economy collapse.

It’s simple really and tried and tested many times over the last oh, 400 years.

Added strategies: Keep everybody exhausted with long working hours, keep them distracted with faux enemies and keep telling them that the recession is almost over.

To achieve these ends (Global Dominance), however, all classes must be transnationalized, not simply the ruling class. The ruling class is the first class to be transnationalized, because transnationalization was the goal of the ruling classes based in the powerful Western European nations, (and later in the United States), that started the process of transnationalization or internationalization. Now that there is an established “Superclass” of a transnational composition, the other classes must follow suit. The middle class is targeted for elimination in this sense, because most of the world has no middle class, and to fully integrate and internationalize a middle class, this would require industrialization and development in places such as Africa, and certain places in Asia and Latin America, and would represent a massive threat to the Superclass, as it would be a valve through which much of their wealth and power would escape them. Their goal is not to lose their wealth and power to a transnational middle class, but rather to extinguish the notion of a middle class, and transnationalize a lower, uneducated, labour oriented class, through which they will secure ultimate wealth and power.

Globalization and the New World Order

The 1990s saw the emergence of what was called the New World Order. This was a term that emerged in the early 1990s to describe a more unipolar world, addressing the collapse of the Soviet Union and the newfound role of the United States as the sole and unchallenged global power. The New World Order was meant to represent a new phase in the global political economy in which world authority rested in one place, and for the time, that place was to be the United States.

This era saw the continual expansion and formation of regional blocs, with the formation of the European Union, the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the creation of the WTO. The World Trade Organization was officially formed in 1995, as the successor to the General Agreements on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which was formed in 1944 at the Bretton-Woods Conference. The WTO manages the international liberal trading order.

The first Director-General of the WTO was Peter D. Sutherland, who was previously the director general of GATT, former Attorney General of Ireland, and currently is Chairman of British Petroleum and Goldman Sachs International, as well as being special representative of the United Nations secretary-general for migrations. He is also a member of the board of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group, the Foundation Board of the World Economic Forum, goodwill ambassador to the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation, is a member of the Bilderberg Group, and is European Chairman of the Trilateral Commission, and he was presented with the Robert Schuman Medal for his work on European Integration and the David Rockefeller Award of the Trilateral Commission.[1] Clearly, the WTO was an organ of the western banking elite to be used as a tool in expanding and institutionalizing their control over world trade.

The European Superstate

In 1992, the Maastricht Treaty was signed, which officially formed the European Union in 1993. In 1994, the European Monetary Institute (EMI) was formed, with the European Central Bank (ECB) being formed in 1998, and the single European currency, the Euro, debuting in 1999. In 2004, the European Constitution was to be signed by all 25-member states of the EU, which was a treaty to establish a constitution for the entire European Union.

Russian ship disappears of the radar

Last week a Russian ship purported to have been transporting a load of pine to Algeria  disappeared. No one knows were it is what happened to it and what happened to its 15 man Russian crew. Rumour has it that it was transporting a secret load but again nobody seems to know what that could have been. Suggestions of Piracy have been dismissed as improbable.

Both the Russian and US government have been silent as to what might have happened on what for all intends and purposes should have been a major international incident.

Very curious, indeed.

The Real Grand Chessboard and the Profiteers of War

As our ex bankster PM mumbles on about explosive devices put together in camps in Afghanistan let’s not forget what wars are really all about. Money, Money  and more Money. For the rich pricks, (Wanna bet that John Key has a lot of shares in Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed and other Military industrial complex corps) for their rich prick friends and for their corporate plunderer friends. For everybody else it’s murder mayhem and suicide.

“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.” Dwight David Eisenhower, “Military-Industrial Complex Speech,” 1961, [1]

“Soldiers Are Just Dumb, Stupid Animals to be used” as pawns of foreign policy. Henry Kissinger

The Myth of the Grand Chessboard: Geopolitics and Imperial Folie de Grandeur

In the Road to 9/11 I summarized the dialectic of open societies: how from their energy they expand, leading to a higher level of more secretive corporations and agencies, which eventually weaken the home country through needless and crushing wars.[4] I am not alone in seeing America in the final stages of this process, which since the Renaissance has brought down Spain, the Netherlands, and Great Britain.

Much of what I wrote summarized the thoughts of writers before me like Paul Kennedy and Kevin Phillips. But there is one aspect of the curse of expansion that I underemphasized: how dominance creates megalomanic illusions of insuperable control, and how this illusion in turn is crystallized into a prevailing ideology of dominance. I am surprised that so few, heretofore, have pointed out that from a public point of view these ideologies are delusional, indeed perhaps insane. In this essay I will argue however that what looks demented from a public viewpoint makes sense from the narrower perspective of those profiting from the provision of private entrepreneurial violence and intelligence.

The ideology of dominance was expressed for British rulers by Sir Halford Mackinder in 1919: “Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland; Who rules the heartland commands the World Island; Who rules the World Island commands the World.”[5] This sentence, though expressed after the power of Britain had already begun to decline, accurately articulated the anxieties of imperial planners who saw themselves playing “the Great Game,” and who thus in 1809 sacrificed an entire British army of twelve thousand men in the wilderness of Afghanistan.

Hunger hits Detroit’s middle class

Just in case you thought I was kidding about the grinding and progressive poverty the US citizens are experiencing her are some links to articles you might want to read.

This is an interview with Max Keiser about the collapse of the labour market. It turns out that if you are not looking for a job, for example because you are homeless and you can’t get passed the credit checks and you’re sole reason for getting up out of your tent in the morning is because you need a piss and they’re sharing out the one breakfast roll you’re going to eat for then next two days you’re no longer unemployed and therefor not counted. You are lost in the statistics.

Detroit, once the biggest money spinner and wealth creator and the supporter of blue collar middleclass America has collapsed to the point were people are leaving in droves and were houses and gardens are empty people have started to grow their own food again.

While the Americans are told that the economy is revving up again more and more people are finding out that they have joined the fast growing group of the working poor. Some 30% of all families need food stamp support while one or both parents are working full time.

While more and more people are losing their jobs and homes to the crisis caused by the bankster and end up on the street the Authorities are trying to find ways of dealing with the dispossessed in truly American fashion. Just declare homelessness a crime and the problem will go away.

And the richest 1% just keeps getting richer.

Afghan War: NATO Builds History’s First Global Army

Never before have soldiers from so many states served in the same war theater

NATO was once the North Atlantic protection force just in case those crazy Ruskies were to attack us but since the collapse of Russia they sort of got bored and decided to become an aggressor themselves. They sort of became a gang. Colors, murder, drugs you name it they’re into it and they’re also fully equipped by the main gang the US army. So welcome to the first global army. John Key must feel very proud that he can send our home trained army thugs with the biggest baddest gang of them all.

By the way the Taliban is shooting rockets into the capital and for all intends and purposes rules Afghanistan outside of the capital so expect the body bags to come back filled and the veterans who do survive to come home traumatised to the point of not being able to cope with event the slightest pressure costing us the taxpayers for their care.
Also expect the cost to this Nation in depression to rise as those in the know expect the cost for the war to rise above the cost of the war fought in Iraq

Two months before the eighth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan and the beginning of NATO’s first-ever ground war the world is witness to a 21st Century armed conflict without end waged by the largest military coalition in history.

With recent announcements that troops from such diverse nations as Colombia, Mongolia, Armenia, Japan, South Korea, Ukraine and Montenegro are to or may join those of some 45 other countries serving under the command of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), there will soon be military personnel from fifty nations on five continents and in the Middle East serving under a unified command structure.

Never before have soldiers from so many states served in the same war theater, much less the same country.

By way of comparison, there were twenty six (higher, and looser, estimates go as high as 34) national contingents in the so-called coalition of the willing in Iraq as of 2006. In the interim between now and then troops from all contributing nations but the United States and Great Britain have been withdrawn and in most cases redeployed to Afghanistan.

So what did start the French revolution and is the US heading that way too?

I don’t know about you but I have a sickening addiction to Celeb gossip. I find it strangely mesmerising and I sneak several times a day if I’m on line to the gossip pages of some of the mainly UK gossip sites. What does it have to do with the title of this post you ask? Well, I can’t get away from the idea that what I’m looking at is the last agonising days of an Empire and it’s decadent elite and their courtesans, minions and other assorted hangers on.

When I look at the antics of the Jordans, Paisses and britneys of this world I see Mary Antoinette and her famous if not historically correct diregards for the great unwashed when she was saif to have asked her maids that if the poor had no bread than why did they not eat cake. When I see the children of the ultra rich Rock noblity I see the pretty courtesans getting drunk and feasting with their rich sugar daddies and when I see the super rich on their Yachts in the mediteranian I see the over the top parties engineered by the hideously few  who could afford the decadence and partied while hundreds of thousands of poor died of starvation.

And when I see someone like Lord Mandelson staying at the Greek mansion of  scion of the Rothchild family while in control of the UK GI see a irresponsible social climber taking his orders from those who truly rule.

When I watch Hillary Clinton travel the world as the Secretary of foreign affairs I see a French Matriarch manipulating and bullying her way to power behind the throne like so many ladies of nobility did in the Ancien regime.

I see countries ruined by hideously expensive illegal wars because the Rothchilds, the Rockefellers, the Bushes all become richer and richer and richer.

So what did cause the the French peasants to finally sayenough is enough and how close are the US peasants to doing the same.

This is No Recession. It’s a Planned Demolition

Working people are not being crushed by accident, but according to plan. It is the way the system is supposed to work. Bernanke knows that sustained demand requires higher wages and a vital middle class. But what does he care. He’s not a public servant. He works for the banks. That’s why the Fed’s monetary policies reflect the goals of the investor class. Bubblenomics is not the way to a strong/sustainable economy, but it is an effective tool for shifting wealth from one class to another. The Fed’s job is to facilitate that objective, which is why the economy is headed for the rocks. Mike Whitney.

Credit is not flowing. In fact, credit is contracting. That means things aren’t getting better; they’re getting worse. When credit contracts in a consumer-driven economy, bad things happen. Business investment drops, unemployment soars, earnings plunge, and GDP shrinks. The Fed has spent more than a trillion dollars trying to get consumers to start borrowing again, but without success. The country’s credit engines are grinding to a halt.

Bernanke has increased excess reserves in the banking system by $800 billion, but lending is still slow. The banks are hoarding capital in order to deal with the losses from toxic assets, non performing loans, and a $3.5 trillion commercial real estate bubble that’s following housing into the toilet. That’s why the rate of bank failures is accelerating. 2010 will be even worse; the list is growing. It’s a bloodbath.

The standards for conventional loans have gotten tougher while the pool of qualified credit-worthy borrowers has shrunk. That means less credit flowing into the system. The shadow banking system has been hobbled by the freeze in securitization and only provides a trifling portion of the credit needed to grow the economy. Bernanke’s initiatives haven’t made a bit of difference. Credit continues to shrivel.

John Key talks about “explosive” devices put together for 9/11

Hello? Did people put “explosive devices” together for 9/11? And they came from Afghanistan?

Either John Key is the worst informed prime minister ever or he knows something we don’t.

According to the official Conspiracy theory 19 Saoudi Arabs (About a continent away from Afghanistan) under te leadership of a scion of a super rich Saudi Arab family who at the time, so we were told lived in a cave in Afghanistan, hijacked four big planes and flew them un assisted by explosive devices into three buildings. Two in New York and one in Washington.
Three buildings consequently collapsed into a never before recorded event into their own footprint in a pyroclastic dust as a result of two planes crashing into the twin towers and a plane evaporated while crashing into the Pentagon.

No explosives were used whatsoever. To even suggest this, we are told, is the domain of “Conspiracy theorists”.

So if no Afghanistani’s were involved in the attacks of 9/11 and by the way nor were they involved in the attacks in London and why are we sending murderous thugs to kill Afghani’s. Because let’s face it that is what SAS troops are. They are not your average friendly Kiwi but they are trained snipers and they specially trained to take part in secret violent missions.

So since when is it OK to kill of an entire population for a crime alledgedly organised (for which he is not even on the FBI most wanted list because “they have no proof” of his involvement) by a foreigner who just alledgedly (No proof was ever delivered for this either)happened to be in their country at the time a crime is committed by other people who are not from that country either?

Why the financial collapse is inevitable and why we will never catch up with Australia.

Bill Jenkins who writes for the Daily Reckoning an online magazine dedicated to finacial analysis that if the Americans don’t go back to work there will be no recovery.

What does he mean by that?

Well it’s very simple. Real wealth is created by people. People who farm the land, make products and who in return earn a living with that labour. Whether that is money or pruduce and a home is not reall important. Money is just a translantion from real wealth to being able to barter with different people at different times irrespective of whether you have produce or stuff to barter with. At least that is how it supposed to be.

But not so anymore. All the real wealth creating jobs have been moved off shore and large portions of the land are now owned by food corporations and oversees corporate entities.

While during the great depression 80% of the Americans lived of the land and owned their own farms and only 20% of it’s population lived in cities now 80% of it’s population lives in cities and only 20% are still involved in farming. With no real world jobs to go back to and with no control over their food supply the Americans are sitting ducks for what is to come. There is no way 300 million people can survive in what is essentially a finance speculation driven and unsustainable society.

Yesterday it was published that a record 34 million Americans were depending on food stamps. In Detroit you can buy a house for a dollar. That is right $1.- and nobody buys because there is no work to be had in what was once the greatest wealth creating machine of the world.

We over here in silly old New Zealand still believe that the US will recover and is preparing to catch up with Australia and our Government wants to invest in our infra structure. Why? Well, it is not because we as a country will be growing. Because we won’t. There will be no country in the world which can afford our meat, Dairy and timber.

It is because our government knows what’s coming and they know what will happen with NZ in the next 10 years. What will happen to this country in the next 10 year? We will have to sell off our resources and land to repay the loans from our oversees loan sharks. For example our reserve bank has already borrowed US $9 billion from the Federal Reserve of New York. Oh, you didn’t know that? Well, that was because nobody told you and only because a US senator asked Bernanke did I find out.  Yes, US $ 9 billion of the $ 700.- billion bailout went straight into the Reserve Bank of New Zealand without anybody knowing. Just by the way as the rest of that bail out money went ot oversees banks and nobody knows to which one or to whom.

Watch it here.

We will never catch up with Australia because our economy is going into an inreversible decline if we don’t disconnect from the internationl finance system and we will end up neocolonised by big corporations and we will be tenants in our own country.

Ground Zero First Responder John McNamara Dies Of Cancer

Today is the 11th of August. Around the world thousands of people will do what they do every month on this day. They will walk the streets and share DVD’s and flyers with all who’ll take them.

These DVD’s and flyers will try to educate people about the events of 911. They will try to explain why steelframed buildings can not collapse into a pyroclastic flow of dust into their own footprint. They will try to explain that the official explanation is impossible and at best a “Conspiracy theory”.

They do so because they want a new investigation of what really happened on that day. How it was possible that the best army in the world  stood down for more than 2 hours while 19 Saudi Arabians allegedly flew four Boeings to their destruction in the most protected areas in the world.

Many members of families hurt in the attacks call out for a new investigation too.

If like me you have questions about what really transpired on that day and you find that around you people say get on with your life, 911 happened 8 years ago, think of this:

Today 70.000 people like John McNamara are sick and dying because they trieds to help on that day. The breathed in those buildings and they might as well have died that day because There is no way they can survive the toxic dust in their bodies.

That’s right, It wasn’t 3000 people who died that day it was 73.000 people who were sentenced to death.

Not only that, hundreds of thousands of people have died in Afghanistan and Iraq because of the events of 911 and yesterday the National government decided to send 70 more young New Zealanders into the quagmire that is the war in Afghanistan and we’ve been told that we need to be there another 5 years minimum.

What’s more we are told that the "reconstruction" team will be dismanteled while the killers are being send in. At least we are now coming clean as to why we’re involved in the brutal occupation of the Afghan people. We’re there not ot rebuild but to oppress. We are there not to help the Afghans but to help the biggest empire ever to steal their resources.

While you ponder this why not listen to the heroes of 911 as they tell you of the betrayal foisted upon them by the US government.

For more interviews click here. One of the interviewees is John McNamara.

Ladies and Gentlemen when will New Zealand say we have had enough?

Entering the Greatest Depression in History

Introduction

While there is much talk of a recovery on the horizon, commentators are forgetting some crucial aspects of the financial crisis. The crisis is not simply composed of one bubble, the housing real estate bubble, which has already burst. The crisis has many bubbles, all of which dwarf the housing bubble burst of 2008. Indicators show that the next possible burst is the commercial real estate bubble. However, the main event on the horizon is the “bailout bubble” and the general world debt bubble, which will plunge the world into a Great Depression the likes of which have never before been seen.

Housing Crash Still Not Over

The housing real estate market, despite numbers indicating an upward trend, is still in trouble, as, “Houses are taking months to sell. Many buyers are having trouble getting financing as lenders and appraisers struggle to figure out what houses are really worth in the wake of the collapse.” Further, “the overall market remains very soft [...] aside from speculators and first-time buyers.” Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington said, “It would be wrong to imagine that we have hit a turning point in the market,” as “There is still an enormous oversupply of housing, which means that the direction of house prices will almost certainly continue to be downward.” Foreclosures are still rising in many states “such as Nevada, Georgia and Utah, and economists say rising unemployment may push foreclosures higher into next year.” Clearly, the housing crisis is still not at an end.[1]

The Commercial Real Estate Bubble

In May, Bloomberg quoted Deutsche Bank CEO Josef Ackermann as saying, “It’s either the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning.” Bloomberg further pointed out that, “A piece of the puzzle that must be calculated into any determination of the depth of our economic doldrums is the condition of commercial real estate — the shopping malls, hotels, and office buildings that tend to go along with real- estate expansions.” Residential investment went down 28.9 % from 2006 to 2007, and at the same time, nonresidential investment grew 24.9%, thus, commercial real estate was “serving as a buffer against the declining housing market.”

John Key, the SAS and fourty years of war.

Eh Voila! That didn’t take long did it. Merely days (can’t let a good crisis go to waste) after some damn darkies in Bali did some terror thingy John Key is going to send the SAS in to help our “allies”.

While John Key has been told to is pondering sending SAS special troops to Afghanistan General Sir David Richards the new uber boss of the UK army has stated that the war in Afghanistan could last as long as 40 years. Let me guess; that is as long as the resources we want to nick will last and that’s as long as we the coalition of the killing willing will be killing Afghanistanis the Taliban and bringing home young men in body bags.

Mandelson rules the UK from his holiday address: chez Rothchild

While Mandy and his rich prick friends have a good time 34 Million people in the US are on food stamps. Disgusting.

Just in case you had any doubt about who really rules the UK, the US, Australia and New Zealand. They’re not even hiding it anymore. This is Mandelson visiting his good friend Nat Rothchild in Greece while being in charge of the UK with Gordon Brown on holiday.

Shades of ambition: Mandy in Corfu yesterday

Lord Mandelson is a guest of financier Nat Rothschild at his 30-acre estate on the north-east tip of Corfu. It is a repeat of his notorious visit 12 months ago, before his controversial return to the Cabinet.

Also there was Shadow Chancellor George Osborne, and the two men met controversial Russian businessman Oleg Deripaska. Mr Osborne later claimed that Lord Mandelson, then plain Mr and an EU Commissioner, had ‘poured pure poison’ into his ear about Gordon Brown.

But, within days, Labour’s original spinner had turned the tables with the help of Mr Rothschild, who revealed that Mr Osborne had tried to solicit a donation to the Tory Party from foreign-born Mr Deripaska, which would be banned under British election law.

Lord Mandelson spent much of yesterday soaking up the sun. But at 8.30pm he was down on the waterfront to meet Hollywood magnate David Geffen and other guests arriving by launch from Mr Geffen’s 452-foot super-yacht Rising Sun.

All you need to know about who’se running the planet.

In my previous post I outlined who John Key is getting his orders from. Here is some more information about who they are and how they work.

David Rockefeller puppet master extraordinaire

John Key and the New World Order takeover of New Zealand

The New World Order of course is an old world order. It is the same old group of people who are involved. The international banking elite, the European Aristocracy and their ever changing minions and one of them of course is our own bankster Prime Minister John Key.

Hand picked by the Federal Reserve with courses in how to take over a country make more money for bankers  at Harvard University and an “advisory” role in a committee during his tenure as a Foreign exchange and Derivatives CEO for Merrill Lynch it was inevitable that one day he would show his true colours.

So when Helen Clark stated that John Key would be visiting Wall Street New York in a couple of weeks I became very curious especially since it wasn’t announced on the government websites and I would have thought that John Key would be trying to keep us the punters who voted him in informed about his political goings about.

So I did a bit of Googling and what did I find? Well, John Key is not going to meet with Politicians which I find kind of strange as he is the Prime Minister of New Zealand and as such should be meeting with other politicians when travelling abroad on “Business”.

It turns out that John Key is indeed going about business and it turns out not to be political business but Business as usual; he will be doing his previous Banking business that is to say meeting and greeting his banking mates.

While in New York John Key will be delivering his first speech in the US. not to politicians but to business people and bankers. He will do so in the University club of New York. This club is the most elite business club in New York and has amongst it’s members such elite members as David Rockefeller to name one.

The club, a nine floor building in the most expensive area of Manhattan has over 90 luxury rooms for members to stay at when in New York with full luxury hotel service and is host to the most wealthy  members of society.

I don’t know how long John Key is going to New York but what are the chances he is going to meet with a lot of business people in one of those secretive hotel rooms you reckon?

And who will those people be? I’ll bet you 10 bucks it’s going to be with those who sponsored the trip.

So who is sponsoring the trip to New York you ask? Well it’s not the taxpaying mugs who voted him in as PM.

In fact it’s the people who own his ass. Who are the people owning his ass you ask?

How about

I guess meeting with politicians to talk about policies is just a water of time really if you can get your orders straight from your shadow government bosses.

Mounting popular opposition to the war in Afghanistan

And so it should be.

A series of recent polls have shown growing popular opposition in Europe to the US-NATO war in Afghanistan.

One recent poll puts opposition in Germany to the presence of German troops in Afghanistan at 85 percent. The latest poll in France shows 55 percent opposed to the war and in favor of the immediate withdrawal of French soldiers.

In Britain, according to the latest ComRes poll, more than half of the people (52 percent) want troops to be withdrawn straight away, while some 64 percent say British forces should be removed “as quickly as possible.”

Former British Foreign Office minister Kim Howells recently warned that the tide was definitively turning against the war. “I don’t think the public are up for it anymore,” he told the BBC.

Similarly, US Defense Secretary Robert Gates said last month in an interview: “After the Iraq experience, nobody is prepared to have a long slog where it is not apparent we are making headway. The troops are tired; the American people are pretty tired.”

Popular anti-war sentiment, however, finds no expression in the policies of governments or, for that matter, those of opposition parties within the bourgeois political establishment.

The US and European governments are making clear that their military intervention in the war-torn land is open-ended. Within the framework of official politics and the media, they are being criticized by their political opponents for not pursuing the war with sufficient ruthlessness.

Secret map reveals Taliban threat to Afghan authority

With the news that three “special forces” members of a newly formed Assassin “special” group were killed in the news this morning in the UK it is becoming increasingly clear that the honest and righteous war in Afghanistan is becoming increasingly more lurid and oppressive to the Afghan population.

Why?

Because the Western alliance is losing the war and with that the grip on Afghans resources and the Caspian basins treasures. Do we want New Zealand involved in a war crime of massive proportions? A war fought solely to keep the American hegemony and its worthless currency propped up?

Almost half of Afghanistan is at a high risk of attack by the Taliban and other insurgents, or is under “enemy control”, according to a secret Afghan government map that paints a dire security picture before presidential elections.

The threat assessment map shows 133 of Afghanistan’s 356 districts are regarded as high-risk areas with at least 13 under “enemy control”.

The map – which bears the logos of the Interior Ministry and the army as well as the United Nations Department of Safety and Security – was produced in April, before an escalation of the violence.

It shows virtually the entire south of the country under extreme risk of attack, a vast swathe stretching from Farah in the west through Helmand province in the south and east towards provinces such as Paktia and Nangarhar near the Pakistan border.

The Taliban have vowed to disrupt the poll on August 20 and have called on Afghans to boycott the vote. Their traditional strongholds have been in the south and east but their influence has steadily spread to the west and north, even to the outskirts of Kabul. It shows at-risk areas on three sides of the capital.

In an attack demonstrating their new reach, Islamist insurgents fired up to nine rockets into the capital early on Tuesday, the first attack of its kind in several years.

Will John Key meet with his former banking buddies at the Federal Reserve of New York

According to Helen Clark, John Key will be visiting New York. Why would John Key be visiting his old haunt? Wouldn’t Washington be more appropriate as he is no longer a banker but a prime minister of a country?
Is it to meet just with Helen or does he visit New York to meet with his former banking mates and if so why?

Eight months on from Labour’s election loss, former prime minister Helen Clark has no regrets and she rejects suggestions that Labour alienated voters by pushing through measures such as the child discipline bill.

Now in New York as head of the United Nations Development Programme, Miss Clark has also revealed unease at the National Government’s direction on climate change and says its scrapping of her flagship sustainability agenda was motivated by sheer vindictiveness.

Her worry now is that going too far in the opposite direction will hurt New Zealand’s international brand and prospects.

“If it’s not at government level, then at the consumer level you run into resistance. Protecting the brand image of your country as clean and green is critical; critical for tourism, critical for our food exports, for industry, for exports.

The Banks Own the Fed, and the Central Banks Own BIS

You know that the 12 Federal Reserve Banks are owned by private banksters.

And you’ve heard of the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), which is the “Central Banks’ Central Bank”.

But you probably don’t know who owns BIS or how it is regulated.

Spiegel provided the answer last month:

The BIS is a closed organization owned by the 55 central banks. The heads of these central banks travel to the Basel headquarters once every two months, and the General Meeting, the BIS’s supreme executive body, takes place once a year.

So the private banks own the Fed (and other central banks), and the central banks, in turn, own BIS.

Interestingly, Spiegel points out that BIS is largely immune from regulation, oversight or taxes:
Formally registered as a stock corporation, it is recognized as an international organization and, therefore, is not subject to any jurisdiction other than international law.

It does not need to pay tax, and its members and employees enjoy extensive immunity. No other institution regulates the BIS, despite the fact that it manages about 4 percent of the world’s total currency reserves, or €217 trillion ($304 trillion), as well as 120 tons of gold…

Central bankers are not elected by the people but are appointed by their governments. Nevertheless, they wield power that exceeds that of many political leaders. Their decisions affect entire economies, and a single word from their lips is capable of moving financial markets. They set interest rates, thereby determining the cost of borrowing and the speed of global financial currents.
