Problems with blog format again

30/11/2011

I just saw my blog and the side column has been forced to the bottom. This is the result of an article with some dodgy coding. I will need to find it. Sorry!

Anybody who can help me can leave their solution in the contact form. Cheers!

With Bank Of America On The Verge Of Breaching $5.00, My Question Of The Day Is…

30/11/2011

Update: Standard & Poor just downgraded the bulk of 37 Global banks here is the complete list. Guess which banks are on it! And we really think these banks have our best interest at hart??

That Bank of America is doomed is pretty obvious. They are too exposed to the inevitable global financial collapse, the unwillingness  of judges to let them get away with their foreclosure fraud to survive and with their shares going under the $5 dollar it is pretty clear the end is near.

What makes this interesting for New Zealanders is the following:

John Key holds a big chunk of his wealth (according to the government site) in shares in Bank of America which is arguably one of the most corrupt and vile institutions in the entire banking world. These shares are not held in trust and that means that John Key can keep the info private.

What has transpired is that Goldman Sachs is very interested in the sale of our assets and that Deutsche bank has been appointed as advisers to the NZ crown. Added to that on October 1th 2007 JP Morgan Chase discretely opened a bank here. A year before the 2008 elections.

Here is a list of shareholders of Bank of America, I leave it up to you to find how many times you see the names of JP Morgan chase,Goldman Sachs, and Deutsche bank as direct shareholders and interested parties. I’ll give you one. Paulson the ex-secretary of treasury in the US who was directly responsible for bullying the US senate into the Bailout of $700 billion and who is a Goldman Sachs man recently bought more shares into the bank see if you can find his name there.

Why is this interesting? It shows that at least three banks have the same interests as John Key in maintaining their wealth and that is by buying (preferably for cents on the dollar) real world assets with their collapsing fiat currency.

Still think John Key has no conflict of interest?

Attacked girl’s mum faces court

30/11/2011

You will not defend you and yours because the state has the monopoly on violence and total control. You are sheeple and will obey. You will be passive and powerless and have no control about your own life as we the state rule you!!!

And we wonder why people don’t vote. It’s the only way in which they can say F*&k you to the state.

The mother accused of attacking a schoolgirl who beat up her daughter faced the courts yesterday as new details emerged of what sparked the incident.

Mellissa Anderson is alleged to have slapped one of two 14-year-old girls who attacked her 13-year-old daughter Summer outside Kaipara College in Helensville on Friday afternoon.

Osborne reveals Britain’s debts have soared by £111bn

30/11/2011

More looting of the British tax payer ahead!

George Osborne has warned Britain could be heading for a double-dip recession as he admitted that the Government will be forced to borrow more than was planned by the last Labour Government.

The Chancellor confirmed that because of a ‘debt storm’ raging across Europe, the country will be forced to borrow £111bn more than expected over the next four years.

Borrowing is now expected to hit £79billion in 2014-15 alone – more than double the £37billion which he had previously forecast and more than the £74billion predicted by the former Labour chancellor Alistair Darling.

The Chancellor also confirmed that the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has downgraded GDP growth to 0.9 per cent for 2011 and 0.7 per cent 2012 – well under the 1.7 per cent and 2.5per cent forecasts it made in March.

22 Reasons Why We Could See An Economic Collapse In Europe In 2012

30/11/2011

Will 2012 be the year that we see an economic collapse in Europe?  Before you dismiss the title of this article as “alarmist”, read the facts listed in the rest of this article first.  Over the past several months, there has been an astonishing loss of confidence in the European financial system.  Right now, virtually nobody wants to loan money to financially troubled nations in the EU and virtually nobody wants to lend money to major European banks.  Remember, one of the primary reasons for the financial crisis of 2008 was a major credit crunch that happened here in the United States.  This burgeoning credit crunch in Europe is just one element of a “perfect storm” that is rapidly coming together as we get ready to go into 2012.  The signs of trouble are everywhere.  All over Europe, governments are implementing austerity measures and dramatically cutting back on spending.  European banks are substantially cutting back on lending as they seek to meet new capital requirements that are being imposed upon them.  Meanwhile, bond yields are going through the roof all over Europe as investors lose confidence and demand much higher returns for investing in European debt.  It has become clear that without a miracle happening, quite a few European nations and a significant number of European banks are not going to be able to get the funding that they need from the market in 2012.  The only thing that is going to avert a complete and total financial meltdown in Europe is dramatic action, but right now European leaders are so busy squabbling with each other that a bold plan seems out of the question.

The following are 22 reasons why we could see an economic collapse in Europe in 2012….

#1 Germany could rescue the rest of Europe, but that would take an unprecedented financial commitment, and the German people do not have the stomach for that.  It has been estimated that it would cost Germany 7 percent of GDP over several years in order to sufficiently bail out the other financially troubled EU nations.  Such an amount would far surpass the incredibly oppressive reparations that Germany was forced to pay out in the aftermath of World War I.

A host of recent surveys has shown that the German people are steadfastly against bailing out the rest of Europe.  For example, according to one recent poll 57 percent of the German people are against the creation of eurobonds.

At this point, German politicians are firmly opposed to any measure that would place an inordinate burden on German taxpayers, so unless this changes that means that Europe is not going to be saved from within.

#2 The United States could rescue Europe, but the Obama administration knows that it would be really tough to sell that to the American people during an election season.  The following is what White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said today about the potential for a bailout of Europe by the United States….

“This is something they need to solve and they have the capacity to solve, both financial capacity and political will”

Carney also said that the Obama administration does not plan to commit any “additional resources” to rescuing Europe….

“We do not in any way believe that additional resources are required from the United States and from American taxpayers.”

30 Signs That The United States Of America Is Being Turned Into A Giant Prison

30/11/2011

If you live in the United States of America, you live in a giant prison where liberty and freedom are slowly being strangled to death. In this country, the control freaks that run things are obsessed with watching, tracking, monitoring and recording virtually everything that we do. Nothing is private anymore. Everything that you do on the Internet is being monitored. All of your phone calls are being monitored. In fact, if law enforcement authorities suspect that you have done something wrong, they will use your cell phone microphone to listen to you even when you think your cell phone is turned off. In many areas of the country, when you get into your car automated license plate readers track you wherever you go, and in many major cities when you are walking on the streets a vast network of security cameras and “smart street lights” are constantly watching you and listening to whatever you say. The TSA is setting up “internal checkpoints” all over the nation, Homeland Security is encouraging all of us to report any “suspicious activity” that our neighbors are involved in and the federal government is rapidly developing “pre-crime” technology that will flag us as “potential terrorists” if we display any signs of nervousness. If you are flagged as a “potential terrorist”, the U.S. military can arrest you and detain you for the rest of your life without ever having to charge you with anything. Yes, the United States of America is rapidly being turned into a “Big Brother” prison grid, and most Americans are happily going along with it.

The sad thing is that this used to be “the land of the free and the home of the brave”.

So what in the world happened?

A fundamental shift in our culture has taken place. The American people have eagerly given up huge chunks of liberty and freedom in exchange for vague promises of increased security.

Our country is now run by total control freaks and paranoia has become standard operating procedure.

We were told that the terrorists hate our liberties and our freedoms, and that we needed to fight the terrorists so that we could keep our liberties and our freedoms.

But instead, the government keeps taking away all of our liberties and our freedoms.

How in the world does that make any sense?

Have the terrorists won?

As a country, we have moved so far in the direction of communist China, the USSR and Nazi Germany that it is almost impossible to believe.

Yes, turning the United States of America into a giant prison may make us all slightly safer, but what kind of life is this?

Do we want to be dead while we are still alive?

Is this the price that we want to pay in order to feel slightly safer?

Where are the millions of Americans that still yearn to breathe free air?

America is supposed to be a land teeming with people thirsting for independence. For example, “Live Free or Die” is supposedly the official motto of the state of New Hampshire.

But instead, the motto of most Americans seems to be “live scared and die cowering”.

We don’t have to live like this.

Yes, bad things are always going to happen. No amount of security is ever going to be able to keep us 100% safe.

We need to remember that a very high price was paid for our liberty and we should not give it up so easily.

As one very famous American once said, when we give up liberty for security we deserve neither.

The following are 30 signs that the United States of America is being turned into a giant prison….

#1 A new bill that is going through the U.S. Senate would allow the U.S. military to arrest American citizens and hold them indefinitely without trial. This new law was recently discussed in an article posted on the website of the New American….

In what may be a tale too bizarre to be believed by millions of Americans, the U.S. Senate appears ready to pass a bill that will designate the entire earth, including the United States and its territories, one all-encompassing “battlefield” in the global “war on terror” and authorize the detention of Americans suspected of terrorist ties indefinitely and without trial or even charges being filed that would necessitate a trial.

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham is a big supporter of the bill, and he says that it would “basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield”.

According to the PPJ Gazette, the following are three things that this new law would do….

1) Explicitly authorize the federal government to indefinitely imprison without charge or trial American citizens and others picked up inside and outside the United States;

(2) Mandate military detention of some civilians who would otherwise be outside of military control, including civilians picked up within the United States itself; and

(3) Transfer to the Department of Defense core prosecutorial, investigative, law enforcement, penal, and custodial authority and responsibility now held by the Department of Justice.

#2 U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman is asking Google to install a “terrorist button” on all Blogger.com blogs so that readers can easily flag “terrorist content” for authorities.

#3 Most Americans have no idea how sophisticated the “Big Brother” prison grid has become. For example, in Washington D.C. the movements of every single car are tracked using automated license plate readers (ALPRs). The following comes from a recent Washington Post article….

More than 250 cameras in the District and its suburbs scan license plates in real time, helping police pinpoint stolen cars and fleeing killers. But the program quietly has expanded beyond what anyone had imagined even a few years ago.

With virtually no public debate, police agencies have begun storing the information from the cameras, building databases that document the travels of millions of vehicles.

Nowhere is that more prevalent than in the District, which has more than one plate-reader per square mile, the highest concentration in the nation. Police in the Washington suburbs have dozens of them as well, and local agencies plan to add many more in coming months, creating a comprehensive dragnet that will include all the approaches into the District.

Is John Key’s Bank of America spamming SGT blog and if so why?

30/11/2011

Here is SGT blog. It is a blog critical of big corporations and the Financial elite. It is well worth visiting and their information is very interesting which might well be why Bank of America is trolling it so heavily.

Wham bam thank you mam! The first day, the first foreign dick up NZ’s ass

29/11/2011

All that  venality, anger, egotism that made you vote for National! Day one and you had the first foreign dick rammed up your ass NZ.

But don’t worry by the time they are done with this country they will leave it forever. There will be no assets, no beauty, no clean unpolluted area left of course but at least you can say National won. I hope you’re happy!

Only days to save the Euro?

29/11/2011

After the rigged failed bonds sale of Germany which has the safest economy and which should have been able to sell their bonds just fine here come more threads. Only 10 days to save the Euro if only Germany would cooperate.

Bullocks, what we are watching is the controlled demolition of the global financial system to bring in a single currency controlled by the bankster. No more sovereignty, the right to hit the globe anywhere any time, the right to kill citizens anywhere any time without a right to a trial and total control of the globe.

Rest assured that John Key is going to be relaxed with that!

Italian Job: Stealing 2,451.8 tons of gold with style

29/11/2011

This morning I had an interesting short conversation with a new facebook friend of mine. The gentleman clearly had done his homework but still felt strongly about bringing down the National debt because if we owed this debt it was our duty to pay it off.

My argument is that while I am scrupulous with regards to personal debts I argue that these debts crushing entire populations are not about honest loans but about a system designed to scam these populations out of their assets.

This short is what John Key is setting up for his Goldman Sachs mates:

Towers of dust

29/11/2011

In a conventional demolition the intend is maximum destruction with minimum pollution of the environment. This means that all asbestos, gypsum, heavy metals and other pollutants are removed before the demolitionThe average pile remaining is about 12 % of the original height. Here is what happened to the twin towers on 911:

John Key’s venal racism finally to the fore: Banks to get the correction portfolio

28/11/2011

Here is where the gloves come off and they will play the race card in order to further divide this country while they sell our assets from under us. Hideous!

Prime Minister John Key is wasting no time in meeting Act, United Future and the Maori Party today to hammer out support deals and he is expected to discuss giving Act MP John Banks the Corrections portfolio.

Mr Key met his National Party “kitchen Cabinet” at his Parnell mansion yesterday after securing enough seats on Saturday to run another minority Government for a second term, but with needing one extra vote, either Act’s or United Future’s.

Deputy Prime Minister Bill English, Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee, Transport Minister Steven Joyce and Foreign Minister Murray McCully met to discuss the negotiations that will be held at Parliament after today’s Cabinet meeting.

Arab League Adopts Economic Blockade Sanctions Syria “Effective Immediately”

28/11/2011

This weekend the Arab league called for all foreign Arabs to leave Syria.
In the off case that this weekend’s Italian bailout rumor roundup does nothing to quell the ongoing European collapse, the status quo is already working in diversion Plan B. Enter the Arab Leage and the announcement that it has approved sanctions against Syria, including an asset freeze and an embargo on investments, effective immediately. And while the screenplay is for now a carbon copy replica of what happened in Libya, with the imposition of a “No Fly Zone” over Syria as reported previously as the most likely next step, what is unique is the response that will follow from not only Syria, but Iran (which followed in Russian footsteps and announced it would attack NATO member Turkey missiles if provoked) as well as Russia and China, all of which have made it clear that any unilateral, US/Europe-backed agression against Syria will not stand. BBC reports: “League foreign ministers adopted the unprecedented sanctions at a meeting in Cairo by a vote of 19 to three. The move came after Syria refused to allow 4,000 Arab League monitors into the country to assess the situation on the ground.

Is the SEC Covering Up Wall Street Crimes?

28/11/2011

Imagine a world in which a man who is repeatedly investigated for a string of serious crimes, but never prosecuted, has his slate wiped clean every time the cops fail to make a case.

Matt Iaibbi is an investigative journalist who writes for the Rolling Stone and just about the only one who is bringing out the entire rotten banking system. Here he writes on the SEC arguably one of the US most corrupt agencies:

No more Lifetime channel specials where the murderer is unveiled after police stumble upon past intrigues in some old file – “Hey, chief, didja know this guy had two wives die falling down the stairs?” No more burglary sprees cracked when some sharp cop sees the same name pop up in one too many witness statements. This is a different world, one far friendlier to lawbreakers, where even the suspicionof wrongdoing gets wiped from the record.

That, it now appears, is exactly how the Securities and Exchange Commission has been treating the Wall Street criminals who cratered the global economy a few years back. For the past two decades, according to a whistle-blower at the SEC who recently came forward to Congress, the agency has been systematically destroying records of its preliminary investigations once they are closed. By whitewashing the files of some of the nation’s worst financial criminals, the SEC has kept an entire generation of federal investigators in the dark about past inquiries into insider trading, fraud and market manipulation against companies like Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and AIG. With a few strokes of the keyboard, the evidence gathered during thousands of investigations – “18,000 … including Madoff,” as one high-ranking SEC official put it during a panicked meeting about the destruction – has apparently disappeared forever into the wormhole of history.

Under a deal the SEC worked out with the National Archives and Records Administration, all of the agency’s records – “including case files relating to preliminary investigations” – are supposed to be maintained for at least 25 years. But the SEC, using history-altering practices that for once actually deserve the overused and usually hysterical term “Orwellian,” devised an elaborate and possibly illegal system under which staffers were directed to dispose of the documents from any preliminary inquiry that did not receive approval from senior staff to become a full-blown, formal investigation. Amazingly, the wholesale destruction of the cases – known as MUIs, or “Matters Under Inquiry” – was not something done on the sly, in secret. The enforcement division of the SEC even spelled out the procedure in writing, on the commission’s internal website. “After you have closed a MUI that has not become an investigation,” the site advised staffers, “you should dispose of any documents obtained in connection with the MUI.”

Many of the destroyed files involved companies and individuals who would later play prominent roles in the economic meltdown of 2008. Two MUIs involving con artist Bernie Madoff vanished. So did a 2002 inquiry into financial fraud at Lehman Brothers, as well as a 2005 case of insider trading at the same soon-to-be-bankrupt bank. A 2009 preliminary investigation of insider trading by Goldman Sachs was deleted, along with records for at least three cases involving the infamous hedge fund SAC Capital.

The men who killed John F Kennedy

28/11/2011

As I wrote in an earlier post I never paid the Kennedy assassination a lot of attention as I was very young when it happened and it simply did not figure a lot in my life but recently I have come to the realisation that the event is closely related to the people still at the top of the power pyramid and is therefore still incredibly relevant especially if you accept that the official explanation of the 911 attacks is scientifically impossible.

So when I found this link to a program from the history channel discussing some of the “Conspiracy theories” concerning the assassination I decided to have a look. This particular program discusses the theory that President Johnson was involved in the murder. I find it quite plausible and in fact papers released by Caroline Kennedy from her mothers estate confirm that her mother was of the same opinion. I can’t embed the link here so here is where you can find the doco.

Comfortably Numb

28/11/2011

“Look at the orators in our republics; as long as they are poor, both state and people can only praise their uprightness; but once they are fattened on the public funds, they conceive a hatred for justice, plan intrigues against the people and attack the democracy.”Aristophanes, Plutus

This is a quest post published by Zero Hedge blog. I thought I’d link to it as it applies equally to the zombies who voted John Key back in.

As I observe the zombie like reactions of Americans to our catastrophic economic highway to collapse, the continued plundering and pillaging of the national treasury by criminal Wall Street bankers, non-enforcement of existing laws against those who committed the largest crime in history, and reaction to young people across the country getting beaten, bludgeoned, shot with tear gas and pepper sprayed by police, I can’t help but wonder whether there is anyone home. Why are most Americans so passively accepting of these calamitous conditions? How did we become so comfortably numb? I’ve concluded Americans have chosen willful ignorance over thoughtful critical thinking due to their own intellectual laziness and overpowering mind manipulation by the elite through their propaganda emitting media machines. Some people are awaking from their trance, but the vast majority is still slumbering or fuming at erroneous perpetrators.

Both the Tea Party movement and the Occupy Wall Street movement are a reflection of the mood change in the country, which is a result of government overreach, political corruption, dysfunctional economic policies, and a financial system designed to enrich the few while defrauding the many. The common theme is anger, frustration and disillusionment with a system so badly broken it appears unfixable through the existing supposedly democratic methods. The system has been captured by an oligarchy of moneyed interests from the financial industry,

New questions raised over Dominique-Strauss Kahn case

27/11/2011

Duh!

New questions have been raised about the events in the New York hotel room where the former International Monetary Fund head and French politician Dominique Strauss-Kahn was alleged to have sexually assaulted a hotel maid.

The case against Strauss-Kahn was eventually dramatically dropped by a Manhattan court, but the scandal forced him to resign his IMF post and destroyed his chances of becoming the leading leftwing candidate to challenge Nicolas Sarkozy for the French presidency.

An exhaustively researched article in the New York Review of Books, published by veteran American investigative journalist Edward Jay Epstein, has cast fresh doubt on exactly what happened in the Sofitel hotel room on 14 May between Strauss-Kahn and his accuser, Guinean-born maid Nafissatou Diallo.

In passages sure to delight Strauss-Kahn supporters and conspiracy theorists, Epstein’s lengthy article studied hotel door key and phone records and traced links to Strauss-Kahn’s potential political rivals, appearing to suggest the possibility that he had been set up.

Such allegations have been raised before, especially by some French media commentators. Some polls taken in France as the scandal dominated world headlines revealed sympathy for Strauss-Kahn. One showed that 57% of French people thought he had been the victim of a smear campaign. Diallo and her lawyers, however, have maintained that she was the victim of an unprovoked attack. She is now suing the French statesman in a civil court, which could result in a hefty damages award.

But Epstein’s article does appear to raise some odd questions about the case. It points out numerous holes and discrepancies in the accounts of those who portrayed Strauss-Kahn as an attacker, identifies a missing BlackBerry which may contain warnings to the Frenchman that he was being set up, and examines possible links between Sofitel staff and Strauss-Kahn’s political opponents.

The most unusual evidence described by Epstein is a security video of the hotel’s engineer, Brian Yearwood, and an unidentified man apparently celebrating the day’s events. Earlier, Yearwood had been communicating with John Sheehan, a security expert at Accor, which owns Sofitel, and whose boss, René-Georges Querry, once worked with a man now in intelligence for Sarkozy.

Fiery protest ‘endangered public’ more on the Cuba Mall “protester’

27/11/2011

It appears that a man who was clearly “distressed” and over “exited” (or mentally unstable) set fire to his car in Cuba street Wellington and kept yelling things about youtube and fractional reserve banking.

It also appears the police had dealings with this man earlier in the week. I understand that until someone does something there can be no arrest or intervention but could the police not have done more for this poor soul?

Here is someone clearly causing havoc and who is clearly unstable causing danger to himself and the public and the police know about him and they just let him go? Or was it convenient for the powers that be to let a clearly deranged person do something irresponsible to smear the OWS and activists like myself !

What I find so very scary is the fact that this poor soul obviously had done his homework and really did try to tell people about the reality of our financial system and I fear he will be locked up simply because people here are so totally unaware of the fact that he was actually right about his protest but that in his need to expose the financial fraud he did something that he should not have done. Burning a car in a busy pedestrian road is simply unacceptable. No matter what the cause. It will distract from what you actually have to say and make yourself and your fellow activists look like nutters even more then they already do.

Violence is never the way!

9 Ways The Hijacked Federal Government Is Waging War Against The American People

27/11/2011

From The Excavator

“The minute we fell for 9/11 we signed our doom,” said Paul Craig Roberts on the Alex Jones Show on November 9, 2011.

Alex responded, “9/11 is America’s death warrant.”

In the ten years since 9/11, America has been turned into a third world police state with a large underclass, a rapidly declining middle class, and a plutocracy that has broken its economic, political and emotional ties with America.

America’s traitorous political establishment has abandoned ship. They are treating America like a dump. Instead of building new bridges and creating jobs at home, they are shipping jobs overseas and forcing millions of Americans to beg for a piece of meat.

Even the body parts of American war heroes are discarded in landfill sites. That act is symbolic of the fact that the new world order traitors in Washington think of the American people as garbage and dirt.

On 9/11, the new world order traitors declared war on America and humanity.

So far, they have carried out the war from behind the scenes, in the shadows, inside the heart of government, while posing as America’s protectors. But that could change any day because the police state infrastructure that they have constructed in the last three decades in the guise of fighting terrorism and stopping the flow of drugs into America has given them the ability to wage their war against America out in the open.

They have the resources and the will to completely destroy America. All that is missing is the perfect storm.

After the snakes of the new world order cause the perfect storm the wolves of the new world order will be unleashed on America. At that point, the war against America and humanity will enter a new stage.

Below I’ve listed nine ways that the new world order traitors are conducting their war against the American people and American constitution.

68% voter turn out, the lowest since the 1880???

27/11/2011

So only 68% of the voters could be bothered to show up in what was arguably the most important election ever.

Or should we say that a 100.000 voted with their feet and that 32% really did vote by not voting. There should have been a third option on the ballot. None of the above!

Senate Moves To Allow Military To Intern Americans Without Trial

27/11/2011

NDAA detention provision would turn America into a “battlefield”

Senate Moves To Allow Military To Intern Americans Without Trial   1402565016 705d95495b

The Senate is set to vote on a bill next week that would define the whole of the United States as a “battlefield” and allow the U.S. Military to arrest American citizens in their own back yard without charge or trial.

“The Senate is going to vote on whether Congress will give this president—and every future president — the power to order the military to pick up and imprison without charge or trial civilians anywhere in the world. The power is so broad that even U.S. citizens could be swept up by the military and the military could be used far from any battlefield, even within the United States itself,” writes Chris Anders of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office.

Under the ‘worldwide indefinite detention without charge or trial’ provision of S.1867, the National Defense Authorization Act bill, which is set to be up for a vote on the Senate floor Monday, the legislation will “basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who supports the bill.

The bill was drafted in secret by Senators Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.), before being passed in a closed-door committee meeting without any kind of hearing. The language appears in sections 1031 and 1032 of the NDAA bill.

Lynn Margulis: 1938-2011

27/11/2011

Rest in peace dear Lynn. You courageous wonderful woman you!

Lynn Margulis: 1938-2011

Lynn Margulis

The family of Lynn Margulis has announced that she died at home on Tuesday, November 22, at the age of 73. She had suffered a serious hemorrhagic stroke on Friday, November 18 – so serious that there was no chance of recovery.

Having authored dozens of books and scientific papers, Margulis was awarded the National Medal of Science in 1999.

In 2004, she began looking into the evidence against the official account of 9/11. She not only accepted it but also – always known for her courage – announced her views, writing in 2007:

“Whoever is responsible for bringing to grisly fruition this new false-flag operation, which has been used to justify the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as unprecedented assaults on research, education, and civil liberties, must be perversely proud of their efficient handiwork. Certainly, 19 young Arab men and a man in a cave 7,000 miles away, no matter the level of their anger, could not have masterminded and carried out 9/11: the most effective television commercial in the history of Western civilization. I suggest that those of us aware and concerned demand that the glaringly erroneous official account of 9/11 be dismissed as a fraud and a new, thorough, and impartial investigation be undertaken.”

Cell Phones Are Tracking Devices That Governments, Police, Big Corporations And Stalkers Can Use To Easily Track Your Movements

27/11/2011

Remember how they could find Tony Veitch via his phone after he went of to attempt to commit suicide!

If you regularly carry a cell phone around with you, you might as well say goodbye to your privacy.  The truth is that any cell phone you buy is going to track you wherever you go 24 hours a day.  Just as you leave “footprints” wherever you go on the Internet, so also your cell phone is constantly recording wherever you go in the physical world.  Most people do not realize this, but the reality is that cell phones are tracking devices that governments, law enforcement authorities, big corporations and even stalkers can use to easily track your movements.  If you do not know about this yet, then you are going to be absolutely amazed by what you are about to read.  Not only do cell phones track you wherever you go, they can also be used to listen to your private conversations even when they are turned off.  We live in a brave new world, and there are a lot of control freaks out there that love to monitor where we go and what we do.  Unfortunately, it seems like every time technology advances, we lose a little bit more privacy.  Eventually, we may wake up someday in a world where there is absolutely no privacy left.

On Black Friday, two U.S. shopping malls started actively using the FootPath Technology tracking system to monitor their customers.

This system captures the unique identification number that is assigned to each phone, and thus it enables the malls to constantly monitor what stores their customers enter.

The malls are putting up signs that warn customers about this system and that instruct them that they can “opt out” by turning off their cell phones.

Arab State Urges Citizens To Leave Syria

27/11/2011

By Paul Joseph Watson

Yet another indication that Syria could be the next target of a NATO-led military assault arrived today with the news that the United Arab Emirates is the latest country to urge its citizens to leave, as a deadline imposed by the Arab League for Syria to respond to its demand to send in observers passed without comment.

“Emiratis who are already in Syria are advised to avoid large gatherings of people, exercise caution and leave Syrian territory because of the current circumstances there,” Director of Nationals’ Affairs at the Ministry Ambassador Eissa Abdullah Al-Kalbani said.

The warning follows similar advisories by the U.S. Embassy in Damascus, which urged its citizens to leave Syria “immediately,” while Turkey’s foreign ministry told its citizens to avoid traveling through the country on their return home from Saudi Arabia.

Bankers have seized Europe: Goldman Sachs Has Taken Over

27/11/2011
By Paul Graig Roberts
On November 25, two days after a failed German government bond auction in which Germany was unable to sell 35% of its offerings of 10-year bonds, the German finance minister, Wolfgang Schaeuble said that Germany might retreat from its demands that the private banks that hold the troubled sovereign debt from Greece, Italy, and Spain must accept part of the cost of their bailout by writing off some of the debt. The private banks want to avoid any losses either by forcing the Greek, Italian, and Spanish governments to make good on the bonds by imposing extreme austerity on their citizens, or by having the European Central Bank print euros with which to buy the sovereign debt from the private banks. Printing money to make good on debt is contrary to the ECB’s charter and especially frightens Germans, because of the Weimar experience with hyperinflation.
Obviously, the German government got the message from the orchestrated failed bond auction. As I wrote at the time, there is no reason for Germany, with its relatively low debt to GDP ratio compared to the troubled countries, not to be able to sell its bonds.
If Germany’s creditworthiness is in doubt, how can Germany be expected to bail out other countries?  Evidence that Germany’s failed bond auction was orchestrated is provided by troubled Italy’s successful bond auction two days later.

Deutsche Bank Exercises In MADness: “Crisis Likely To Get Worse Before It Can Get Better… If Indeed It Ever Does”

27/11/2011

Deutsche bank is the bank appointed by John Key as one of the crowns advisers and described by Zero Hedge as the bank with the biggest disconnect from reality.

Deutsche Bank’s Jim Reid, who has taken etudes in Mutual Assured Destruction to a level not even Leopold Godowsky would be able to execute (which is expected: DB is the one bank in Europe that has the biggest disconnect between reality and where the market trades its securities) reminds us once again that without the ECB stepping in it is all lost: “We are fast running out of options. The great hopes of the last few weeks for Europe have fallen one by one. We first had China pulling back, then a Levered EFSF scheme that has stalled before it has taken off, a powerless IMF and now yesterday we had even more insistence from Mrs Merkel that Eurobonds are not the answer and neither is a more aggressive ECB. It leaves us scratching our heads as to what the answer is.” Yet the ultimate step: the questionable integration of Europe’s countries in a union whereby they abdicate their sovereignty to Germany in exchange for the issuance of Eurobonds, is not only extremely unlikely, it will also come too late: “Should we get excited ahead of the treaty changes? The answer is that we are undoubtedly slowly moving closer to the start of a path towards fiscal union. However this process, even if it runs smoothly, will likely be a long, drawn-out, arduous journey. Unfortunately markets are moving at a much, much faster pace and we probably don’t have the time for a slow measured path towards fiscal union.” In other words, even if the ECB, and thus Germany were to relent, the markets can at best hope for a few days rally before risk tumbles off once again, only this time there will be no scapegoats aside from the bloated and terminally broken European bureaucratic engine which, when all is said and done, is the fatal flaw of the European experiment.

It’s official; 60 % of Kiwi voters have Stockholm syndrome or welcome to NZ goldman Sachs

27/11/2011

In England they are preparing for major riots not if but when the Euro collapses and both Greece and Italy are already ruled by unelected Goldman Sachs stooges.

In America MF Global is the first bank to steal their customers money without consequences and Bank of America owned by the Rothschild’s and the bank to which John Key owns his allegiance is kicking people out of their homes illegally and here…. here they vote a bankster in.

I can only explain this in one way. The overwhelming majority of Pakeha came here convinced they were going to build a new Britain in which they were going to be the new upper class and to this day they believe they are millionaires temporarily out of cash instead of the peasants they were and still  are in the eyes of our new master; Goldman Sachs!

We are a Nation of people suffering from Stockholm syndrome identifying with the 1% oppressing us. Gods, help us!

Car blown up in Wellington: attempt to smear OWS activists?

26/11/2011

Today an idiot blew up a car in Cuba street in Wellington and it is alleged that a message was printed on the road saying: What is fractional banking….. Google it!

The whole operation smells of a cointelpro. Could it be that the powers that be want to smear the OWS movement and are trying to project them as paranoid aggressive terrorists? Remember Cass Sunstein appointed in 2009 by Obama to help prevent the spread of Conspiracy theories.

Asking questions about historical events is not about violence and never was. To drive a car into a walking only area, setting fire to it and connecting it with people asking questions about the banking system, 911 and the ongoing wars as a result is illogic, counter productive and unnecessary and only helps those who want these questions not asked. Keep speaking truth to power and remember first they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you and then you win. Violence is not part of our path. Speaking truth and asking questions is!

Behold The New Anschluss: ECB’s Paramo – “Prepare To Give Up Significant Sovereignty”

25/11/2011

From Zero hedge:

The only quote worth noting from the just delivered speech by ECB executive board member José Manuel González-Páramo is the following: “We cannot completely delegate governance to financial markets. The euro area is the world’s second largest monetary area. It cannot depend solely on the opinions of ratings agencies and markets. It needs economic governance arrangements that are preventive and linear. This underscores my central point that a much more comprehensive approach to economic governance is now the priority for the euro area. And this means more economic and financial integration for the euro area, with a significant transfer of sovereignty to the EMU level over fiscal, structural and financial policies.” In other words, in order to protect people from the “stupidity” of rating agencies which after years of lying have finally started telling the truth, and the market which does what it always does, and punishes those who fail, Europe must be prepared to give up “significant sovereignty” (sounds better than Anschluss) to Europe’s “betters” which is another way of saying ‘he who pays the piper calls the tune.” And “he” in this case is, of course, Germany. In other words, courtesy of one failed monetary experiment Germany will succeed, without sheeding one drop of blood, where it failed rather historically some 70 years ago.
