Meanwhile, the eurosceptic lobby group Open Europe highlighted a complex provision in the Lisbon treaty which allows the government to decide before June 2014 whether to continue to apply a raft of EU justice and policing laws past December 2014. - Politics.uk

"Earlier, we found torch-like structures like this but they were only tens of metres in diameter. This is the first time that we've found continuous, powerful and impressive seeping structures, more than 1000m in diameter. It's amazing," Semiletov said. "I was most impressed by the sheer scale and high density of the plumes. Over a relatively small area, we found more than 100 but, over a wider area, there should be thousands." - NZ Herald

All this in a country that has made preaching the Gospel illegal.

Say what you will, clearly the 'National  Security Boys' from DC now effectively control Google. It is censoring content now all over the world as well as here in the US. Censorship is a tool that tyrannies use, not free societies. It is sad to see Google, once a very good company become the evil the once decried. I think they went bad the day they took their company public and let Wall Street's rampant and unchecked criminality become part of their business model. Now that they Lobby pretty hard on the Hill, they must cut deals with corrupt Senators and Congressmen to avoid  specious investigations and legislative browbeating. IMHO, The worst thing that can happen to a company that relies on openess of ideas and the free flow of information is to go public (issue an IPO). The way I see it, sooner or later, they will censor, prevaricate, lie, cheat and steal.

... all for money.

Governments around the world are afraid of freedom, the free flow of ideas and democratic principles. Saudi Arabia- no democracy. Syria - no Democracy. Greece- leaders call for elections and get ousted in a matter of days, not weeks. Libya - no democracy. Egypt - the dead vote... often. Bahrain - Call for 'Change' and Obama will have you shot and arrest any doctor who tries to heal you. When people call for real change they get shot dead in the streets, often with US weapons and a US 'technical adviser' telling the tyrants where and whom to shoot. Google has just shown us its true colors, though I do not think one out of a thousand will figure it out, not even Alex Jones, who should stop complaining and start using a different service or create a new one one himself. Google will eventually succumb to evil totally, completely and unreservedly if it wants to remain in business.

Look at Infowars. It must rely on small companies for its advertisement. Major Wall Street firms will not patronize him. Why? They know the power of the purse even if most American's don't. You must be in bed with the beast to benefit from the Harlot's pleasures. Thankfully, Mr. Jones has not (nor do I think he will) succumb to her beckonings.  The lesson here is simple. If you really want to change the world, you will find the power of the purse is more potent that that of the ballot box. Want to make a statement? Spend as little money with corporations as you can. Cut off the cable, find out the cheapest way to deal with your banks. Pinch pennies when dealing with mega corporations don't give them so much as the dirt from under your fingernails if you don't have to. As much as possible, deal with privately held firms, family owned businesses, mom and pop stores, etc. You are not going to beat the beast with a silver bullet. But you can starve it out of its sustenance and that sustenance is money. That coupled with the sincere prayers of God's people will bring in tremendous change (for this is more a spiritual thing than an economic one).  But as long as you are willing to keep feeding the beast, you really have no right to complain about how big and evil it is getting.

Google has so much potential for good but sadly when that happens every foul and corrupt businessman, politician and government will work to keep you from ever realizing your potential for that good. Governments thrive on evil and in todays world, you become evil or they drive you out of business.

Check it out, its long but you will better understand what' is really happening in the economy. This is one of the reasons why I have said, as much as possible get out of the system. You don't have to be 100 out of the system, but you can do it so you stop feeding the system  that is robbing us. Ms Fitts calls it the 'tapeworm economy'.

I will grant you that for the most part the Fed has been able to keep a lid on inflation. But how long it can continue to... its the little things I watch, not the CPI. How much does it cost to fill up my tank, post a letter, buy a couple of tomatoes, a gallon of milk. That is the real test, not headlines shouted loudly on the FT or Bloomberg. Believe more what's coming out of your wallet and less what is in your newspapers.

A rather interesting read for those interesting in one of America's (claimed) latest and greatest weapons systems that will cost (low ball estimate) $160 million a pop. Wikipedia has an extensive post on it. When you read this and find out about Israel's interest in them. Keep that fact in mind along with America''s 'aid' to Israel as another story further down this page today will put it in perspective.

Is that the same World Bank that called for Sterilization Vans?

Yup, same folks. Hillary it seems is just not interested. I could  be wrong, but my impression is that she may want to leave public life before too long. But one rumor is that Obama may dump Biden and ask Hillary to run with him. I know these rumors have been publicly denied but they appear to still have some substance to them. An Obama-Clinton ticket would be hard to beat and Hillary would be the first female VP. That will speak to a lot of women voters.

So is anyone really surprised at this? I certainly am not. When I saw how the banks pretty much roll over for the banking 'reforms, I figured some kind of fix was in an this is it. Election year... candidates need money... they aren't going to go after the banks now.

Me thinks that a slow trend will begin to take place that has already begun. People will just leave the banks and head towards Credit Unions who are not corporate owned but member owned. They are not looking for major rises in stock prices to attract the kinds in investment that doesn't help account holders out, but rather sees them as sitting ducks to be fleeced.

Credit Unions are where my money is and while I do have some credit card accounts at major banks, it is not going to take much for me to leave them for a local credit union, even if it means a severely reduced credit line.

How do I use my cards? Wisely. Mostly for emergencies, travel and incidentals. One almost has to have one these days as if you make large purchases with cash, you might wind up at Guantanamo. So I do use credit cards for many of my retail purchases and they generally get paid off at the end of the month. That way, I am not regularly carted off to the local detention centre for interrogation when I buy a memory upgrade for my computer or a new skillet for my kitchen with a few twenty dollar bills.

So what does this mean Well, food and humanitarian aid budgets will be decreased (you read that right) and Aid to nations like Egypt and Pakistan will remain in place. But what do we mean by 'aid'? Let's get real here and stop lying to ourselves about what this 'aid' really is. Let's take a look at the aid going to Pakistan. Where does it go? Let me pass on these two graphics (from the GAO and the Congressional Research Service) that will explain Pakistan's situation.


Where does much of it go? (as of 2010)



So what are we really looking at? Lets get down to basics. The President and the State Department get together and decide to 'certify' a nation for aid. The nation then gets 'X' billions of aid from the US of which 'X' % must be spent on military hardware. They get locked into buying weapons only from the US as part of the agreement. So where do they go? Lockheed, Raytheon, General Dynamics and the likes to go on a weapons buying binge. Who foots the bill? The American taxpayer, that's who. Everybody wins, except us. The President can call weapons sales 'aid' , the Pakistanis get new toys, and the defense contractors get the cash. So it's not really aid, it is a defense industry bailout advertised as aid to a foolish American population.

Egypt? Same thing.

My take? Don't let Tommy fool you. He sells weapons that tyrants use on their own people. 

It won't be long before Obama's Malthusians begin doing this under some new health care mandate. The vaccine industry is a multi-billion dollar business, much of  it is descended directly from Germany's third Reich.

A decent article can also  be found here. The tentacles of this beast are far wider than just about anyone imagines. Oil, drugs Software.  It is still here, even more powerful than it was under Hitler. Why can't folks see it? They're too busy watching Madonna do her dance to satan on the most watched event on TV to care. These occultists do their devil worship right before your eyes and most folks are too dumbed down to figure it out!

Truly the world is just about ready for the last 42 months of this age where...

Recent events in Greece and Italy have created more skepticism of the West’s claim to be democratic. Two elected European prime ministers, George Papandreou of Greece and Silvio Berlusconi of Italy, were forced to resign over the sovereign debt issue....Papandreou lasted only 10 days after announcing on October 31, 2011, that he would let the Greek voters decide in a referendum whether or not to accept the austerity being imposed on the Greek people from the outside. - Paul Craig Roberts

Mr. Roberts hits the nail on the head. Western Democracy is more of a way to fool the people into believing that they have a say in major decisions. They really don't. The elite, not the people control both parties in America which is why it is impossible to expect anything different from the Clinton's, Bush's, McCain's Obama's and Romeny's of the world. They do not serve us, they lie and deceive us at election time but they do not serve we the people. They serve those with millions to put into their coffers.

The elite.

Hard to say. But I look at the UK a once strong Christian nation that now is turning back more and more to paganism and witchcraft. The UK high court just ruled that it is illegal to pray in town councils. I am not shocked. The UK is doing the 'Devil's shuffle', making itself more accommodating to Islam and Paganism and shuffling Christianity out the door.The result? Social disorder, fiscal crisis and a possible break up of the realm.

He who shakes hands with the devil will always have a hell to pay.

Private Chauffeurs, A $50 Million jet, huge Mansions are all part of the TBN controversy.

I do not llike speaking so harshly about the large financially well off ministries, but the time as really come to examine the fruit and work of these men and women who take millions of dollars from struggling Christians in tithes and offerings. TBN seemed to be OK for a long time but as the money came in, they started to stray and stray badly, evicting ministries for teaching biblical truths.

Brothers, if you really want to know where a persons heart is, find out how they behave with money.

The MSM may not be talking about what is happening out there in t he real world, but the simple fact is, many ,many Americans are in dire straits and no one in the state Houses or at the Federal Level is doing anything substantive to alleviate the situation.

What is it like? Here is a little piece from the Tampa Bay Times that may give you an idea of how difficult it is, how some help and others  in power work pretty hard to make things difficult.

And our President signed this treaty without Senate ratification. Get the impression that Obama has a pretty deep contempt for our democratic processes? Put enough money in his coffers and he will sign anything.

ANYTHING.

As long as it gives more power and money to the corporations and banks who are screwing up this country as they stick it to the little guy.

Folks... the 'O' has gotta go! He has been an unmitigated disaster for freedom, democracy, human rights, constitutional rights, religious rights and justice. But as bad as he is, the American people for the most part deserve no better and certainly won't get it in 2012. Why?

Follow the money, it predicts the future of American politics with 99% accuracy.

Sad to see this happen to a site as good as this one. This is one reason I just do not use Windows on my work computers. Windows is prone to viruses and little unbeknown to most folks, some of these virus companies have been caught... creating and distributing viruses! My experience has taught me this: I do not trust any of the major Windows based security software companies. You may do what you wish, I do not trust them. Yes, I run windows on my old clunker XP box and do have a dual boot laptop that gets booted into Windows less and less these days, but security and windows? I see the two words as an oxymoron. I think that proprietary software depends too much on 'trust' of the code that you never get to see and frankly you just never know what kinds of hooks are buried into their OS's by design just so that you can destroy your competition using 'crimeware' buried into the OS.

Recently an up and coming company was installing updates to its system and the updates crashed the system and destroyed many thousands of dollars worth of Hardware as well.  The company that provided the update refuses to pay any damages. The updates seem to have been 'specially  targeted' at this new company to destroy their future revenue generating potential.

Look, I am just laying out the harsh realities that you are not going to hear in your major advertiser bankrolled Tech magazines. Automatic updates to my system?

When hell freezes over!

Is Russia right or just deflecting criticism for her blocking of the UN resolution? It is hard to be certain, but it certainly has the ring of truth about it. Clearly the US is going to embark on some kind of action and clearly she is going to do something in Syria. My guess is that the DOD is probably going to take the lead here and will probably, like they did in Libya, mess things up totally and give Al Qaeda yet another strategically important nation. As I mentioned in the last update on Syria (scroll down), you just never know who you are really giving arms to when you 'arm the rebels'. They may start out as moderate, and then later turn into radicals linked with AQ or other terrorist organizations. There are several YouTube video's up that show the activities of the 'Free Syrian Army'.

Yet the US and Iraq officials have been quick to deny these rumors and blame the new swath of arms on Al Qaeda in Iraq. This bolsters Assad's contention that they are largely responsible for the uprisings in Syria. Al Qaeda sees an opportunity in Syria is is moving ahead to take it.

I shudder to think where this is all going to lead, I really do as Assad's and his generals are as kill happy as Saddam was at his very worst. Obervers France24 has some great video's on just how much damage we have seen. You can also Google up Syira Homs at You Tube and get some excellent amateur video as well. There are other very telling video's up in Arabic .I have the URL's but hesitate to post them because they are obviously produced by the Free Syrian Army and which appear to have AQ llinks. Since I cannot understand Arabic and have no idea what these men are saying, I have decided not to post them. These days, here in Post Constitutional America, even posting such a link could be construed as 'material support to terrorism'. Yes, it is true there are people in jail today for no other crime than linking to a video on YouTube. If I post these and link to them and you watch it, you too may get into trouble. Reporting the news has truly become a crime in Obama's America.

The more I look at the situation in Syria the more I have to agree with the Patriarch of Antioch. He said that what we need is the regime to change, not 'regime change'. I do not think any of these new groups are going to bring peace and security to Syria. We should have learned that when you see a nation based in Islamic culture, with strong tribal loyalties running though political groups and factions that usually, a 'strong man' leading the nation is about the only way to keep the country together. Think about Saddam and how he kept power with all of those tribes in Iraq, he used every conceivable form of repression, but this has been the history of the Ba'ath Party. This I think is the real rub between the repression that we see in Syria, that gets condemned by the US and the repression we see in Bahrain, that gets US support. The crimes and violence are not really the issue, except to extract attention getting headlines to demonstrate a feigned concern for the people your soon-to-be installed strong man will slaughter when he comes to power. The issue I think can be summed up in Wikipedia's entry on the Ba'ath Party.   I will highlight the important parts.

Now lets take a look at America's actions in Iraq, since for the most part, unlike Syria, they have largely come to completion.

What has been America's Role? Well, since the invasion....

You can find a list of assassinated Iraqi Academics here and find some more info on how Iraq was effectively being deconstructed under US occupation. Now let us be clear, I am in no way going to glorify the Ba'ath party in Iraq or Syria, whose brutally knew no bounds especially under Saddam.

My point here is more fundamental; Is the US intervention in Syria designed to stop the terror in Syria and break the iron chains of dictators, or is it to install leaders who are just as morally bankrupt into Syria (as we saw with Maliki in Iraq) but who will keep the nation firmly in the US sphere of influence using the same methods to hold power? The simple truth is US sponsored regimes are just as, if not more repressive than those they are trying to replace. Saudi Arabia is a perfect example.

America never openly criticizes Saudi crimes, but will shout out the crimes of others loud and often if they are not firmly in America's diplomatic orbit. This is why our policies on Human Rights fail time and time again. It is rooted, not in 'right' but on hypocrisy, drenched in the blood of those who are foolish enough to trust America's foreign policy establishment when they take to the streets with US encouragement.

Our state Department says, 'we support democracy protests, we want to make sure that protesters have the tools they need to demonstrate peacefully'. But out of the other side of America's mouth...


Replacing one mad man (or men) with another (like in Iraq and Libya) is simply not a mistake we should repeat. I am also deeply concerned about the large Christian population in Syria, who have been treated well in Syria under Assad. Syria even took in many thousands of refugee's from Iraq when Islamic groups were persecuting, kidnapping and holding for ransom and killing Christians with almost no protest from the Obama administration and in fact, punishing those Christians who were forced to pay ransoms in order to free loved ones by denying them asylum into the US. America's anti-terror policies are great at hitting the little people who hate terrorists as much as we (say we) do, but never gets to the tap root of terror. Instead, we sell 30 billion dollars in arms to the very tap root of Al Qaeda. Grated, the problem is complex and we must not oversimplify it but still, the links are clear and incontrovertible and the entire US establishment knows it and refuses to do anything about it... except sell them billions of dollars worth of our top weapons systems.

America needs to really think twice about replacing Assad. If I were in the White House I would work with Russia and China to act in way to bring some sense of sanity to Assad's actions inside Syria and get him to start listening to his people instead of killing them.


I cannot help but look at what is happening in Syria and thinking about one key old t estament prophecy that has not yet come to pass.



The Stench Of Death Is On The Presbyterian Church, USA

24 thousand killed so far

When you see our President doing what he can to make sure religious institutions pay for and provide contraceptives you can better understand why after you read this article. Population control is very much part of the elite agenda. You can read the original World Bank Report Here. Population control, I might add, targeted at 'third world' (dark skinned, non-Aryan) peoples.

This is still very much part of the elite plan, the reduction of global population by several billion people. Does the Bible give us any indication of how successful they will be?


The word Pestilences here is the greek word Loimos. Here is what Strongs Concordance says about it.


Be not surprised at these things, nor be shocked when unregenerate churchmen with PhD's cannot discern the times nor understand what the devil's real target is. They will never understand. But we who have been given the Spirit of God understand and know that while the devil may be loose, God is still on the throne!

So far 45 buildings are on fire in Athens. The EU (read Germany) is keeping the pressure up on Greece. Meanwhile dire warnings are being given to 'rebels' if the bailout package is not approved. In short, the Greek leader says default would lead to disaster in Greece. The protesters are telling the government to 'leave the country'.

But who is really pushing Greece into Austerity, which will surely come?


Deutchland, Deutchland uber alles, that's who. Yes, the Germans surely have a point, the cannot keep sinking money into Greece. It is a great line that simplifies a very complicated problem that is not all Greece's fault, but who are being made to pay for their sins and the sins of the EU establishment who kept 'overlooking' Greece's fiscal problems for almost a decade.

Those in a position to know have intimated to me that there is a fairly (but not totally) credible rumor that Merkel always keeps a little cryptogram with her that when deciphered spells out...

Mein Kampf.


Food for Thought.

Despite the fact we are massively in debt, the world still sees the dollar as the place to be in dangerous times.

Created by U.K.-based insect eradication company Oxitec, the GM mosquitos have been created with an added gene that, unless they are given the antibiotic tetracycline, will automatically kill them. When they mate with wild mosquitos, these GM mosquitos also pass on this gene to the offspring, which is intended to gradually decrease the population of wild mosquitos over time.

This is a trend to watch, the amount of cross national investment between these two economic behemoths and seeing how much China is able to woo Germany out of the US sphere and into the growing E7 sphere of political and economic influence. No one is talking abut it now, but a few pieces of the puzzle are not part of the blogosphere.

The shift in economic, followed by politico-Military power away from US dominance is on. It is real and it is likely to accelerate for the rest of the decade.

Several clashes involving thousands of combatants in South Sudan's Jonglei state have highlighted the volatility of the world's newest country, affecting some 140,000 people. A major new offensive has been announced to start in early March.

“Whitney Houston is just one of countless Americans who are victims of Big Pharma, an industry that cares far more about corporate profits than it does about the lives of real people. And today, we have lost yet another iconic American artist whose life was cut short by addiction, prescription drugs and the entire “medication culture” that exists in America today,” - Mike Adams (Naural news)

The coroner says...

_______

And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison. 21 But Jehovah was with Joseph, and showed kindness unto him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. 22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it. 23 The keeper of the prison looked not to anything that was under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and that which he did, Jehovah made it to prosper. 
- Gen 39:21-23

Despite being falsely accused, Joseph was cast into jail. Even then, God's hand was with him and prospered him.  Because of his faithfulness to God, he rose to one of the highest offices in Egypt and was able to save his family from famine. If we are faithful to God, he will be faithful to us. They key? Faith and obedience.

In what looks like a 180 degree turn around for religious employees, the President will now accommodate religious employees over birth control methods. The accommodation while not perfect, should reduce concerns by religious organizations.

Thank you, Mr. President! I just hope this is just not some cheap re-election ploy that you will  attempt to 'change' if you are re-elected.

The Lord was not pleased with this woman. Thankfully the Church itself was known for its good works and love and the Lord's rebuke was not directed at the entire assembly.

Drug resistant strain of bacteria.

Great news and I hope much, much more of the US and its infrastructure can do the same. But when you see trends like this, you can be assured that someone with deep pockets is going to fight you tooth and nail.

In the space of 24 hours starting January 31, disgruntled Egyptians in the Sinai Peninsula kidnapped and then released 25 Chinese factory workers in an effort to get Cairo to pay attention to the chaotic situation on the peninsula (China News Service, February 1).

Privacy advocates say the measure (New FAA bill) will lead to widespread use of drones for electronic surveillance by police agencies across the country and eventually by private companies as well.

Here is how Infowars leads into the story...


Kinda get an idea who the government now sees as the 'enemy'? No more crooked contracts to fight wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, so they plan on fighting a new war right here in America. Keep on taking rights and freedoms away from th people, rob them of their homes via illegal foreclosures, let the banks rob peoples accounts on broad daylight, deliberately angering the population and... oula!... you have a new war to fight and billions of new 'war'  dollars to spend. Too 'over the top' a scenario for you to swallow? I can only say....

...live a little longer, you'll see.

Listen dear readers, there is a major battle being fought behind the scenes about defense and energy dollars. So when you see stories like this start asking some questions. Who will get rich? Who is donating to whom to  make this happen? How many drones are we talking about? Will they run on petroleum products? How long before they start flying 'kill drones' over US skies and assasinating Americans without trial in Los, Angeles, Nogales, Detroit, Atlanta, San Antonio...

Perhaps you can better understand that there is no possible way I would even consider voting for Obama who never saw a GOP plan to rob our rights and treasury he didn't like and support with his Presidential pen. Why am I so hard on him? I dislike liars and promise breakers. They cannot be trusted and should not be placed in positions of trust. God hates liars too and will place every one into place of torment.


The President will not be able to say he was not warned. Hell is a place, not a metaphor and real people go there, every single day. I pray he does repent, I really do. But I am realistic enough to know that a man who does not want to change his ways, probably won't.

According to published reports, the 'get out of jail' free clauses for the banks are not longer present in a way that stops pending state suites, but once again, that is ONLY according to published reports, knowing the deceitfulness of this administration, we will have to read the fine print to make sure this is so. But according (once again to establishment news) reports, the Immunity granted is pretty limited. Those who lost their homes via fraud are still only likely to  get a check amounting to one months rent for having their homes illegally seized.

Well given Washington's wicked ways, this is probably about as realistic a settlement we could expect. Still, those who lost their homes are still without them, with a serious ding on their credit and now get a  check that will pay March''s and half of April's rent.

Say what you will, the banks got off cheap and 'Joe Sixpac' got screwed and this once again is typical Obama. This settlement is really a stealth bailout for the banks. That 26 billion? Very little of it is really the banks money, most of it is YOUR money... going TO THE BANKS! Why should we hate this settlement?

Here are twelve reasons

Keep in mind the the WSJ is owned by Ruppert Murdoch and he was and is a vocal ACTA-SOPA supporter. Keep in mind that Murdoch's Empire is paying out hundreds of thousands of pounds in 'settlements' to people when their journalists with Police help hacked the phones of Stars and key politico's in the UK.

When you hear a Murdoch publication cry about 'crime' and 'theft', keep this most relevant fact in mind.

The significance of the warming of German Chinese ties does not deserve comment. I have  talked long enough on this. Perhaps when the dust settles and we get a better look at the kinds of agreements that actually come into play (open and secret), we will see just how deeply this is going to effect the Transatlantic Partnership.

Asia Times as a decent piece here.

Here is an interesting interview with the Patriarch of Antioch Catholic.

Dr. Land is right, Obama has declared war on God; not the God of Muslims, many of whom he has invited into his administration to advise him,  but the the God of the Bible and Christians in particular. Well, I am ot surprised. Putting Christians in jail, isn't that what a Muslim President would want to do? They're doing it all over the world these days. I am not saying he is a Muslim. I am saying that this is exactly what a Muslim President would do.

The President has been listening to satan too long and one will one day pay for it with his soul if he does not repent, quickly, fully and completely.

Short insightful piece on the state of Western 'establishment' Journalism and why it is increasingly becoming irrelevant, though still quite dangerous to our freedoms. While it is true that most people do not know what is going on in our world, most are smart enough to know that what they get in their newspapers and cable news isn't true and almost never deals in real issues. So they turn it off. The 'information monopoly that was once part and parcel of the Establishment's hold on power is being broken and is being exposed for what it is; a prostitute who tells lies for the highest bidder.

For a man who wanted to have the most open administration in history and campaigned on that theme, he has been more obsessed with secrecy than Bush. I think most independents like me (who will make or break the  next election)  are going to say in November...

...Anyone but Obama.

Romney or Santorum may not be loved, but people are not going to forget the constant betrayals of Obama. In short, Romeny-Santorum may be very bad news but they may not be as bad as Obama has been these past four years.

This is not the first time Nevada has had fraud. This is what millions of dollars and nefarious backing can buy you. The right connections can get you in.  Keep this in mind  as well... Florida is a state that has had serious voting irregularities in the past, or don't you remember? Forget about party affiliation; you got the cash, elections can be bought. This is the dirty underside of what can only  be called the American political machine.  We are talking equal opportunity corruptors who will throw elections for money, either upfront or after they the candidate gets elected in the form of bills to be passed. But it appears that Democrats need not apply unless they are party leaders and in a position to stop or mitigate Democratic opposition to key bills in the House or Senate that the GOP want passed. Think war funding, Patriot Act and the likes. Democratic leaders are always the first to rally the troops in support of these kinds of odious monstrosities, despite widespread opposition in their voting base.

Listen, not all of that money these candidates get goes into ads. They go to 'consultants' who can make things like this happen. How can they get away with it? Only the FEC is allowed to investigate instances of Vote fraud and irregularities. But the FEC is totally corrupt. One of my best sources has made it clear crystal clear (with no equivocation) that some of the commissioners are taking in $247,000 a quarter FROM FOREIGN ENTITIES to do exactly nothing when these things happen? Some are also working hand in hand with the GOP to undermine elections laws.

Listen to me, this is a scandal that can be laid 100% on Obama's doorstep. Let me quote from a letter that CREW sent to the President.

Currently, five of the six FEC Commissioners sit as lame duck Commissioners, whose terms have expired and who are ineligible for re-appointment, but who can continue to serve on the Commission until replacements have been nominated by you and confirmed by the Senate. During the 2008 presidential campaign you unequivocally recognized the problems at the FEC and the need for new Commissioners. In response to questions raised in September, 2007 by the Midwest Democracy Alliance, you responded:


You further responded at that time


However, with the exception of one unsuccessful attempt in 2009, you have failed as
President to nominate any individual to replace any of the five lame duck FEC Commissioners.
Nothing will change at the FEC until you begin the process by exercising your executive
branch responsibility to nominate new FEC Commissioners. In this sense, the national scandal at
the FEC is currently your responsibility. - CREW's Letter to the President

If things have gotten worse on this front it can be laid solely on the Presidents doorstop. I have heard that this President is very concerned about the China threat and is mobilizing his National Security posture to counter that threat. But here is the gaping hole in our defenses; namely the way we elect our National Security decision makers. When you have people at this level taking what can only be called bribes from foreign entities and the only thing the President does is make national security noises in an election year, you have to wonder where his loyalties really lie.

He knows that the two biggest donors into US elections for the 2012 cycle from overseas right now are in this order; China and the Mexican Drug Cartels. But he ensures that election fraud and corruption continue by his refusal to do his job.  America cannot remain strong and free if our elections can be hijacked by mobsters and spies and billions (yes, tens of billions) are funneled into the US elections system from our strategic foes and criminal gangs to candidates of all levels.

Do your Job, Mr. President or go back to Chicago and let someone else do it.

It ain't over till the fat lady sings and she hasn't even awoken from her afternoon nap.

All this talk about a recovery is just that, for the most part, just talk and cooked up statistics designed to fool the foolish. Don't let mainline economic publications fool you into making bad decisions based on their political leanings and fictitious and mendacious economic numbers.

Get all the facts before you make major financial decisions. Hope, BLS stats or financial news cheerleading to get their candidate elected does not and will not put food on the table or pay the bills.

Be wise and remember that the MSM's main job is not to inform, increasingly it is to misinform, withhold vital data and drive public opinion into directions their masters want it driven. Their job is to tell you there is a recovery even when millions are still out of work or in jobs that pay less than half what they made before the crisis. The MSM will never predict financial chaos. They did not predict it in 2008 with the entire financial system almost collapsed because their job is to calm you and ensure you keep your money in a place where it is easy to steal it. It is not inform to you.

I think as the months roll on you would be most wise to remember these things. The liars who lied before are still doing the same job as liars that they had before the crisis.

Why is this important? Because all the Cheerleading in the world is not going to fix this.

This is an issue I have been watching carefully for the past couple of months. I look at th Baltic dry index and check out the latest shipping headlines over at NewsNow.uk.

Yet the link above is a very good read and really shows you why any talk of recovery is just pundits blowing smoke in our eyes. They are trying to  convince you of the competence of the Washington establishment's ability to solve an ongoing economic crisis they have absolutely no intention of solving. There are also some excellent links inside this piece as well. If you want to look at just one of the reasons why any talk of recovery is just political propaganda, take some time and read this and click on the links.

Frankly the Federal Courts should not get involved here. Why? Because Marriage is and always has been a State level issue. SCOTUS  should vacate/overturn this ruling and hand it back to the California Supreme Court and leave it there for good. But the temptation for a Federal Judge to interfere and make a landmark ruling is probably too great for him to consider this inconvenient fact.

...What would he sound like? The fearmongering you once heard from the GOP is now part and parcel of the Democrats. The real issue is not Security.

It's all those DHS dollars... they might wind up in GOP connected firms.

The pictures speak for themselves. The Devils hooks are much deeper in this nations entertainment industry, political and economic system than 99% of Americans want to even think about imagining.

He warns of deep upheaval if more austerity measures are imposed. Well, right now Greece is toying with the idea of defaulting on their debts. Why? Well the back story is the real story. There is a paper that has not been released to the general public that is an ultimatum to essentially force the Greeks to surrender their national sovereignty  to get this, Germany, who really holds all the economic cards in the EU.So either the Greeks become a Reich protectorate of Germany, or they default on their debts and slip into grinding poverty.

Conquest with debt, not Panzers.

Few will see it for I tell you all now the devil is a master deceiver. He really is and most Christians (Catholics And Protestants) have been deceived by him in more ways than they will ever know. Why can they not see? Because in their soul of souls, they do not want to see or know; they love their religion (Churches, man-made doctrines, buildings and 'feel good' sermons) more than they love God and his Christ. This is what got the Pharisees of Christ day to cease being children of God and become children of the devil.

When the truth comes along, such as these will try and murder it rather than listen to it.

What do I think? My guess is that a certain Chinese Bishop gets a call from a former member of the Hitler Youth (and has his handlers try and lie about it) and tells him to meet German Chancellor who is being depicted throughout Europe as the new Hitler for her policies. Tells him to make a statement praising Merkel's Religiosity while her austerity measures rape Europe. But once again that is just a guess.

Remember that the one of satan's biggest tricks is to get you to believe that what you are seeing is not what you are seeing. I am not going to say Merkel is not a Christian, I cannot look into her soul. I will say that an article from the Vatican in what may very well be a pre-arranged photo-op does not a Christian make.

I admit, there may have been no phone call, but the rest? Read your history and headlines. Others have also claimed to be Christian and with the blessings of Churchmen.

Fighting between the gov't and rebels is causing them to flee.

Psychic wars may no longer be science fiction.

More and more the folks inside the beltway are pushing for the US to do something in Syria. Assad is out of control and is now ruling solely by the 'virtue' of his power to murder his citizens. There really are not that many options available to the US for intervention. Not really. What follows are just a kind of stream of consciousness view of options and in no way, NO WAY counts as any kind of endorsement of intervention. Just the kinds of things that will probably be discussed in the coming days and weeks.

First off you can try and buy off Assad's loyal military leaders to step back and not be so zealous in executing their orders. This may give the opposition time to organize better resistance but without real military support, they will never be able to overthrow him. The problem with buying off people like that is that they may not stay bought off or may be being watched too closely to approach. Another option is what I would call the McCain approach, 'Bomb em' till they cry Uncle'. The problem here is that you are likely to kill as many civilians as Assad's madmen are doing... and we are talking serious despotism.  IMHO, this would cause too much bloodshed that would likely only further damage our international reputation. Another option is a series of Special Op raids on key facilities to undermine Assad's loyal military base, hit key installations hard and fast, and then get out. Another option; start arming the opposition, which may sound like the best option but may in fact be the worst. Our experience in Libya should have taught is that. The problem is that you really do not know who you are arming until they get some power. Then they turn on you and turn out to be as bad or worse than the guy you just deposed. Look at Iraq, we ousted Saddam, a very bad guy and now many years later have Maliki, whose actions more and more resemble Saddam's. None of these options sound like they are really likely to bring peace to Syria, just stir the pot and make a bigger mess down the road.

So what would I do if I were sitting in the White House? Frankly, I would have done things differently from the beginning and would not have encouraged democracy activists to do what they are doing until we had a serious, workable, already-put-in-place back-up plan to deal with this situation when it was almost certainly likely to arise. It is the classic 'what then?' question that never gets adequately answered when the US embarks on these kinds of adventures. There is no strategic foresight.  Tactical foresight, yes; strategic foresight, no. When you are dealing with lives and the fate of nations, one would hope that planning would be more extensive than the 'fly by the seat of your pants' kind of planning we see far too often. You say you got a plan to control the newly armed oppostion once they get power? You mean like the same plan you had in Libya? Great, should we allow for competitive bidding for contracts to make the new Al Qaeda flags that will be flying over Damascus or will they be sole sourced Bin Laden's kids?

Look I am not going to say that those who are calling for intervention don't for the most part have good intentions. I think most do. My question is more fundamental. Will our intervention make matters better or worse? I think this is one of two key questions that needs to be considered before we move forward with any kind of intervention.  The other question is this; how long can Assad's closely knit band of kill happy generals remain loyal to him before they decide to switch sides? No general who cares for his country could possibly  be comfortable turning his weapons on his own people and certainly not to this extent. I think these are questions that should be answered to the best ability of the intelligence community and policy makers before we go high tailing it into another fisaco in the Middle East. I do not think we should rush this, not until we have a clear picture of where our intervention is most likely to lead.

Another question really is better summed up by others and I think this is the one that really needs to be answered.

Is this really a good thing? The pat downs won't stop, but will only be passed on to 'private contractors', presumably hired not by the Feds but by the Airports.

The next few articles today are basically a look at  todays trends in...

Fascism And Fornication
Today, I spend do much time talking about fascism for a reason. The threat is real. Right now the parties seeking real political power are small and still essentially on the fringe. But the more and more EU banks force austerity measures on smaller countries and extract wealth from them in the form of interest on debts for loans that frankly for the most part, should have neer been made, the more fodder will be given to the fascists to convince those wavering that 'theirs' is the only way to prevent their almost certain impoverishment. Remember the Crisis of 1932 was born out of the Graet Depression.

The efforts to give fascist leaders across the EU more real political power is not being driven from the plebeian classes as much as it may seem like it. Rather it is being carefully managed by those with deep pockets and who know how to keep their names or rather more relevantly their relationship to modern fascism out of the newspapers and for the most part, off the Internet. We are talking serious power, serious money and a serious agenda.

What is fascism? Ask 10 different political scientists and you will get 10 different answers. But essentially it is an authoritarian form of government that attaches itself firmly to the moneyed/wealthy classes to rule the state. It consistently uses racism, hate, open displays of violence, grand spectacles/pageants to enforce its rule on the people. It differs from Communism in far fewer ways than most adherents to either system will admit. Each system is ruthlessly authoritarian and each are run by an oligarchical cliques of wealthy men (whether they acquired such wealth before or after coming to power). The two differ more in the way they use propaganda to rule over the people. Communism tends to use utopian themes of workers paradise to get men to do the state's bidding, whereas fascism uses clear and demonstrated use of force coupled with fear to compel compliance.

Yet from a spiritual perspective fascism tends to use any and all negative spiritual means into order to obtain and maintain power. Fear, hate, greed, threats, violence, lies and destruction of property and forced labor (slavery); these are invariably the tools it has used in the past. Fascism is satanic government in its purest and most modern form, for it harnesses every dark spiritual force and act in its arsenal to harness unitarian power unto the state. Neither system (communism or fascism) are particularly democratic but will from time to time use elections to placate a restive population or in order to feign compliance with the needs of international legitimacy. Both essentially deify the state and attempt to organize all human activity, not for individual happiness, but fo the glorification of the State and the personal enrichment of the oligarchy. It deifies the state and commands both spiritual and economic obedience.


It is for this reason I have talked about fascism and its rise in the past and will continue to do so despite some of my detractors who still are in some ways still living in a spiritual fog, not knowing where they are. A person who does not know where they are, cannot know how to get where they are going. I think this issue is probably the one of the most important political and spiritual issue of our time. Not just because of this kind of state's inherent wickedness, but because of the way it has been able to co-opt and seduce the Churches within the affected state. While it is a vast oversimplification to say that all German (under Hitler) Churches were cooperating and approved of Hitlers rule, it would be most untruthful to say that there were not a great many that did cooperate and did approve, at least at first.  It did not matter if it was Protestant or Catholic. Hitlers Anti-Semitism appealed to many, if not most German protestants. While there is no doubt that there was a great deal of persecution of Churches that did not or would not 'fit in' with Hitlers designs, others prospered as long as they were useful to the states designs. You can read an interesting piece on this here.

Thus, to better understand where we are heading in the west, a look this system is very germane to any true Christian who values his faith, church, family and soul.

But you see, there is a much deeper spiritual question here that I think those 'lost in the fog' miss. What is that question? It is the question of fornication. Before you think I am going to switch subjects here, I assure you, I am not.


Paul here is clearly talking about sexual fornication having intimate sexual relations with someone who is not your wife. Paul is telling us not to join our bodies with a Harlot.

When Christ came, the religious leaders as well as Satan himself attempted to seduce Christ and bring him into the religious harlotry of the High Priests of Ancient Israel. When they could not seduce him, they plotted to have him killed.

In the last days, a great economic and political system is called a Harlot and God's true saints  are called to come out of her. Paul's commandment certainly holds true for the Body of Christ (the true blood washed saints of God), that we are not only to flee sexual fornication, but spiritual fornication as well. Those who know Christ understand what I speak of here, they know that when they go into their local Church there is something seriously amiss. It is not a little thing. I cannot tell you how many readers ask me about how hard it is to find a decent Church. Finding one is exceptionally difficult in these times. Why? Because so many have succumbed to the beckonings of the harlot. She offers Church leaders a lucrative salary, special tax breaks, social standing and even political influence. None of these things are evil in and of thenselves, the problem is that in order to get and keep these things, one must be part of the 501(c)3 religious corporation system. The 'Corp' in the word corporation comes from the Greek world corpus, which means 'body'. A corporation is established by the state and allows itself to be governed by that state, in essence it becomes part of that 'body' While I still think (my opinion only) it possible for a  Church to remain a 501(c)3 corporation and not lose its godly anointing, that number of Churches that actually do so is infinitesimally small in comparison with those who have 'sold out'; whether they know it or not. The attractions of the Harlot are too great for most.

We must flee fornication and we who are truly of God, should take a lesson from Joseph (Genesis 39). He was tempted to commit fornication and held up under intense temptation.  Once Joseph refused the temptress' sexual advances, she lied on him and had him put in prison. In short, she ratted him out,  not because he did wrong,  but because she was scorned by a holy man of God who fled fornication.  Could this be a 'type' of future persecution for the saints of God in the days to come? I rather think so.

May those whose eyes are open give heed to these things and understand that want is at stake is when we speak of fascism is not just life and liberty but that important choices will have to be made to save ones soul as well.

May Grace and Peace be upon all who call upon the Lord in faith.

What is rising in Europe these days are not our garden variety of misfits. The are more educated, more connected and more organized.

Events happend last year, but are indicative of trends going in in Greece since the collapse of the Greek Economy. As one Greek MP put it...

 

More anti-semitic baiting from the Nation that brought the world the evil of Hitler.

An interesting look at some names and faces in Britan's budding fascist movements.

Who would schedule a Wagner Opera (Adolph's favorite Composer) on Hitlers Birthday in Berlin? Sadly inside Germany's Police, and Intelligence services as well there are more than a few National Socialist members who have done much to further the  Fuhrer'sPost War plan.

What needs to be known is that they have operated here in the US with impunity to remove key documents related to the Post War Nazi plan from the keep of Federal officials.

Point by point this short piece dissects  the 'happy news' we are hearing from Wall Street's Cheerleaders and shows it to be merely propaganda to detract from the failed economic polices, not just of Obama, but of the entire Washington establishment.

Look, the only way they could get this 8.3% unemployment myth is to take 1.2 million Americans out of the Labor pool!

Well, Dr. Paul Roberts also talks about this. He was a former assistant Secretary to the Treasury so you may want to at least listen to what an insider has to say.

What big was going on at Micron when this 'accident' happened? Micron was in the final stages of a merger talk with Japan's Elphida Memory.  Who runs this company? A Guy named Yukio Sakamoto. What is he trying to do these days? He is trying to establish production in China. He is also trying to get China to help finance him.

China these days is sinking its hooks pretty deep into Japan and some of Japan's recent moves into China's sphere (I have talked about this before) are real and most troubling. So the long and short of it is...

No, I do not think his death was a 'coincidence'.

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
